The military-political meeting held in the conference room of the North Shore Camp lasted just over half an hour before it ended.

The excited and inexplicable civil and military officials immediately took action, and Yang Dading, the commander of the Yingzhou Army, gave the order to end the training and assemble the whole army with a red face, and then led his henchmen and guards to rush to the independent warehouse on the shore, and strictly followed the instructions given by Zhu Daolin, counted the cement, steel and all kinds of fabrics, machines, special steel, tools and equipment in the courtyard and the C-shaped warehouse, and then sent them to the arsenal, shipyard, textile printing and dyeing factory, etc.

Zhu Daolin and Chu Mei stayed in the conference room, and together with several naval generals and officials in charge of Yingzhou's civil affairs work, Wang Zhaohuan, Wei Yuying, Fan Sanmin, Li Changrun, and other officials, they listened to the appeals of the shopkeepers of the Yingzhou branch of the Sihai Bank and the treasurers of the Yingzhou branch of Bofu Qianzhuang.

Since Sihai Bank and Bofu Bank are both Zhu Daolin's personal holding properties, none of the civil and military officials present here dare to express their opinions on the increasingly acute contradictions between the two banks.

The powerful Bofu Bank was the first to enter Yingzhou, and has been squeezing out Sihai Bank, which only entered Yingzhou three months ago, but what makes people feel helpless is that Sihai Bank is not only uncompromising, but is striving to be the first step by step.

The method of the Four Seas Bank was completely different from that of the wealthy and high-ranking Bofu Bank, which first generously spent 200,000 taels of silver to buy the tallest and largest entire building on the north side of the gate of the Tamsui Port Trading Market, which quickly won the favor and support of the officials in Yingzhou, and then quietly redoubled its efforts and soon won over the Japanese merchants who sold copper, silver, and sulfur all year round.

In addition, Sihai Bank also has its own trading fleet, which travels between Yingzhou Port and Qingdao Port, an emerging port in Daming. It only took more than two months to basically monopolize the business in the north of the Ming Dynasty, occupying half of Yingzhou's economic and financial trade in one fell swoop, and now it continues to infiltrate the Jiangnan region controlled by Bofu Qianzhuang.

It stands to reason. Bofu Bank, which has the advantage of coin minting, should be more confident and more powerful than the rising star Sihai Bank, but the strong Bofu Bank has spread out too much, and the shareholders are complacent, self-esteem, and do not regard Yingzhou as an important development area at all.

In this way, the upward and downward effects. The shopkeepers and managers at all levels are higher than the top and more arrogant than the other, so they are not careful. Half a year ago, Sihai Bank, which was still unknown, seized the opportunity, resulting in the gradual shrinkage of the exchange business and credit business of the Yingzhou branch, and when the entire Yingzhou economy was developing rapidly, the monthly profits of the Yingzhou branch of Bofu Qianzhuang continued to decrease.

By this time. Bofu semicolon, several large and small shopkeepers finally couldn't sit still. They jumped up and down, constantly trying to find ways to crack down on the rapidly rising Sihai Bank, but what made people feel deeply helpless was that everyone knew that Zhu Daolin, the major shareholder of Sihai Bank, was also the major shareholder of his Bofu Bank, and no matter how angry he was, the shopkeepers did not dare to resort to unconventional tricks and damages, and finally could only seek Zhu Daolin's arbitration and mediation.

In fact, no one knows the contradiction between the two financial giants. It was deliberately provoked by Zhu Daolin.

As the remaining shareholders of Bofu Money are becoming more and more greedy under the stimulus of huge profits. The hand stretched out longer and longer, and many hidden dangers that could be hidden in the rapid development gradually appeared, prompting Zhu Daolin, who had been unable to exercise control outside for a long time, to secretly make the decision to withdraw, so there was the Four Seas Bank, which was composed of the four major commercial forces in the north.

Zhu Daolin spent a huge amount of money to build Baoshan Port, and invested hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to build the tallest building in Daming in a prime location facing the port, which is the headquarters of the future Sihai Bank and the location of the stock exchange, and it is also a stern warning to Zhu Daolin's shareholders who are gradually drifting away.

In this case, Zhu Daolin faced the shopkeeper of Bofu Money Bank and the shopkeeper of Sixing Bank very calmly, and after listening to their respective complaints, he pondered for a long time, and under the nervous gaze of more than ten henchmen, he said something unexpected:

"Go back, if you have time, it's better to think more about how to open up the market and how to make more money, instead of calculating and suppressing each other!"

"I would like to take this opportunity to say a word to you: every industry has its own rules, and people who don't follow the rules can't do it for a long time, no matter what you do in the future, how you compete, you can't violate the rules, otherwise no matter who it is, I will be held accountable to the end, and there will be no ambiguity!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several shopkeepers of Bofu Bank changed drastically, while the shopkeepers of the Four Banks thought so deeply that they couldn't help but bow their heads.

It seems that the competition between the two will continue in the future.

……

……

The sight of more than 60 large and medium-sized sailing ships sailing on the sea under the escort of more than 10 sailing warships is very majestic and magnificent.

It had been three hours since the fleet left the Tamsui port and entered the vast sea, and Chu Mei in the captain's cabin of the flagship of the East China Sea Fleet, the "Winter", was still sitting quietly by the porthole, enjoying the sunset that was about to disappear on the horizon and the dazzling sunset in the sky, without the slightest uncomfortable reaction to the first voyage to the sea.

The speed of the fleet is very fast, and although the sea surface is undulating without typhoons or storms, the swell of less than one meter can be called a rare good weather, especially in this rainy and windy hot season, when there is often a storm, so the weather is very peaceful.

As she was about to leave the Tamsui military port, Chu Mei learned from Zhu Daolin's conversations with several admirals that a few days ago, on the way south to Hsinchu, the fleet encountered two storms and one that lasted more than six hours.

Chu Mei also knew that most of the ships in this huge fleet had returned after sending more than 20,000 Liaodong immigrants to the Hsinchu New Area, south of Tamsui Port.

Escorted by five sail warships, this fleet will once again sail along the strong southeast monsoon to the mouth of the Yalu River in the north, and move all the more than 50,000 homeless Liaodong immigrants stranded there to the Hsinchu New Area.

Although Chu Mei didn't know that the famous Huang Taiji in history had not yet changed the name of the country to the Great Qing Dynasty, and the Manchu army she thought was still called the Later Jin Army, Chu Mei was still deeply shocked that her beloved man had done such an earth-shattering event, and she couldn't help but feel reverence.
