Tiger Mountain Main Courtyard.

Zhu Daolin's face was calm, he couldn't tell Ye Liangchen about his secrets, and he didn't want to let him know the weapons and equipment he brought back this time, so after sitting down, Zhu Daolin directly asked what happened to Baoshanwei:

"The incident of the pirate attack on Chongming Middle Island happened suddenly, and the many land disputes that occurred in the Baoshanwei resettlement site are definitely not so simple, Mr. thinks, is there some kind of internal connection between the two things?"

Ye Liangchen opened the drawer, took out a few documents and handed them to Zhu Daolin: "This is a secret report sent by Baoshanwei in the past ten days, with the command of Tongzhi Shi Qingyang and Gonggong Wu, you can take a look at it first, and then we will discuss it slowly after reading it." ”

Zhu Daolin moved the candlestick to his side, opened the secret report and read it carefully, and it took more than 20 minutes before Huo Ran raised his head:

"The two pirates who have disappeared for many years have reappeared in the sea off Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Songjiang Mansion and Ningbo Mansion still dare to go to the imperial court, saying that the Jinshanwei and Dinghaiwei warships are outdated and the troops are insufficient, and the bandits are too strong to attack, hum!"

"If my judgment is correct, these two regrouped bandits are basically thugs raised by the Jiangnan family, and the nest should be on the small island around Dinghaiwei."

"Dongchang and Shi Qingyang's inference is very reasonable, the father and son of the Yuan family, who have always disobeyed the dispatch of Baoshanwei, seem to be determined to take refuge in the family in Jiangnan, otherwise they will never dare to join forces with the rich gentry and tycoons in Songjiang Mansion and Taicang Prefecture."

Ye Liangchen nodded emphatically: "After three generations of inheritance, the Chongming Yuan family has become a deep-rooted powerful party in the lower reaches of the Great River, and the father and son are all officials. ”

"The land dispute created by the local tycoons of Songjiang and Taicang is of the same nature, even if we are strong. In the end, it must be resolved in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise the matter will not only get bigger and bigger, but also affect the reputation of yourself and the entire Jiangnan Water Master. ”

"That's what they rely on the most!" Zhu Daolin couldn't help but sigh.

Ye Liangchen smiled bitterly: "Not only that, but in the past half a month, there have been people in Nanjing City and all parts of Suzhou and Hangzhou to create public opinion, attacking the Baoshan Wei garrison and occupying the people's land. Attacking your private port to make crazy money, the Nanjing Household Department and the Military Department have twice issued a document to the Tiangong Trading Company to ransom the Jinchuan Wharf, if they don't agree to them, I am afraid that ten days later, they will send Xu officials to forcibly enter the Jinchuan Wharf. ”

Zhu Daolin picked out the thickest one from a pile of documents, flipped through it, and shook his head again and again: "Alas, the emperor is really confused, and he is actually under the agitation of the group of corrupt officials in the court. Bringing the Jinchuan Wharf I worked so hard to build back into the official camp, it seems that he is not afraid of offending me! ”

"You are a loyal minister, so the saint is not worried that you will disobey the order, from the standpoint of the saint and the imperial court, it is only your personal interests that are sacrificed, but the benefit is the entire Nanjing officialdom and even the entire Nanzhili ......"

"Now that the whole north is in turmoil, the Ming Dynasty can only count on the taxes of Jiangnan, and the stability of Jiangnan has become the top priority...... I think. The Holy One certainly thinks that you will always take care of the overall situation and live up to his high expectations. ”

Ye Liangchen said what he thought. His eyes kept staring at Zhu Daolin, but Zhu Daolin did not have any anger or unwillingness on his face, which made him feel very surprised.

Zhu Daolin put down the document and said with a faint smile: "Tomorrow, you send someone to the household department and the military department to say that the Jinchuan Wharf is worth 360,000 taels of silver, if you want it." Bring the official silver of Baihuahua over, and if you don't agree, I will immediately send troops to garrison Jinchuan Wharf. ”

Ye Liangchen's eyes widened and he was stunned: "Are you really willing?" ”

"The emperor has agreed to the Nanjing Six Divisions and the request of Tianfu, what if I don't agree? I'll write a note when I get back. Tell the emperor that I am well aware of the righteousness and will obey his orders. ”

Zhu Daolin didn't care about a small wharf, and handed over to Ying Tianfu was still a commercial wharf that needed to maintain operation, and it didn't have much impact on his own industry, he felt that Ye Liangchen should have thought of a countermeasure.

Ye Liangchen was really extraordinary, and he quickly figured out what Zhu Daolin meant: "Not bad! Although the Jinchuan wharf sold 360,000 taels of official silver and made no money, it would never lose money, and then the Shangyuan Port, which was returned to the navy, would be taken out again and continue to operate as a civilian wharf. ”

"Anyway, Shangyuan Wharf has approval documents, you can do anything, it has little impact on the overall situation, Nanjing Liubu and Yingtianfu have nothing to say, I estimate that it will not be long, customers in the middle and upper reaches of the river prefer the low-cost, safe and fast Shangyuan Port."

Zhu Daolin asked with a smile, "Has Marquis Longping come back?" ”

"He is also expanding the camp in Fengyang, the central capital, and his father and son's request has been recognized by the saints and courtiers, and the 6,000 new troops under his command will replace the flying bear guard, which will be stationed in Fengyang for a long time in the future."

After Ye Liangchen finished talking about the Marquis of Longping, he took the initiative to report the recent situation of Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, to Zhu Daolin:

"Wei Guogong and his son have been very busy recently, just after rectifying Jiujiangwei and Longjiangwei, and began to lay out the old and weak to recruit new soldiers, following the example of Baoshanwei to form a sailor marine, it seems that the first battle of Dengzhou and the actions of the father and son of Longping Hou have touched him, if he knows that you are back, he will definitely come over in a hurry and ask you for a gun, you have to have a number in your heart."

At the beginning of the month, your master Xuanqing Dao Chang went to the city to attend the shareholders' meeting and came back to me and said to me that the loans issued by the general number and each branch were as high as 30 million taels of silver, but the deposit balance exceeded 10 million taels again, and several shareholders were happy and worried, but the shareholders still could not reach a consensus on the major matter of minting silver dollars."

"Listen to your master's meaning, the shareholders are more willing to cast Chongzhen Tongbao, but they are subject to the shortage of copper, the Ying family father and son and Wei Guogong don't know where to know that there are hundreds of tons of copper in the Baoshan Wei arsenal, and they are fighting the idea of this batch of copper materials, and I am afraid that this matter will eventually fall on your head."

Zhu Daolin snorted coldly: "Then everything can be as expected?" The copper materials in the Baoshan Wei arsenal have already been transported to Baguazhou, and most of these copper materials are brass belts, brass plates and brass rods used for shipbuilding, which are not copper used to cast money at all, and Bofu Qian Zhuang can only wait for two more months to mint money. ”

"Oh yes, there is something I said, you can finish listening, Sayide quietly told me that in the past six months, a large number of Chongzhen Tongbao minted by Bofu Qian Zhuang have flowed into Japan, in exchange for Japanese silver, Japanese knives, folding fans and other goods shipped back, and they are directly transported to Ningbo Port."

"What!?"

Ye Liangchen was stunned, and immediately nervously calculated.
