=============================================================================================================

A top-secret meeting was being held in the government hall of the grass hall, and even the guards like Siniang and Baoyin were driven out, but the two girls were very excited, chattering and chattering in the Cloud Pavilion.

Sanniang and Xiao Fumei accompanied Guan Kou, who was five months pregnant, to Yunjian Pavilion, and when they heard the laughter of the two girls, they casually asked what was the big event.

"The fourth brother is going to collect Jiangnan!"

Jiangnan Wen is miserable, Siniang always feels that she has a great responsibility, and she always talks about this matter on weekdays, and today Li Shi summoned important ministers related to Jiangnan affairs, and she felt that her grudges were about to be extended.

"The Privy Council has just purchased a large amount of medicine for injuries from the pharmacy before, and has also recruited medical students to go to Funan, I heard that it is to prepare for the war between Siam and Burma, and it is really necessary to start it in Jiangnan immediately, but the medicine is not prepared at all."

Xiao Fumei has faded from the halo of a saint and is no longer involved in Catholicism, but she is still promoting medicine through the intermediary channel arranged by Li Shi, and the war is closely related to medicine, and she can also detect any major movements.

Sanniang also frowned and said: "Xiao Sheng is leading the army to act in Ryukyu, Ryukyu is very closely related to Japan, and the Privy Council has also made a record of making a move with Japan, and the Shenwu Army and the Long Su Army are on standby. The battle between Burma and Siam not only involved Funan, but also had to be on guard in the direction of Yunnan, for fear that Zhang Hanwan's side would not have enough troops, and he also specially transferred the Hugui army to Yunnan, and then counted the Yulin Army still stationed in Luzon, and the Tielin Army stationed in Hunan, to fight Jiangnan, where did the soldiers come from? Just by the Dragoons? ”

The movements of the army in the country are not secrets, as long as you care about the military, you can see the general news from the newspaper.

Guan Guan is pregnant, and her small pointed chin in the past is also piled up in a double layer, but it is lined by her smart eyes, but it is more like baby fat, she said crisply: "If you don't clean up the real enemy, how can you go to take Jiangnan?" ”

Siniang was a little discouraged, and she was puzzled by this, ...... real enemy, who is it?

Thinking about who entered the government hall before, as well as Guan Guan's director, Siniang had some understanding.

In the government hall, Xue Xue, Chen Wance, Gu Xiyi, and Peng Xianzhong sat on the left and right of Li Shi, and the eight members of the West Courtyard who were selected by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry such as Huailiang, Han Yujie, Shen Fuyang, and Liang Boshi sat down below, and everyone waited with bated breath.

Xue Xue is introducing the current situation between the north and the south: "The tightening of the mouth in the north is the responsibility of the local governor. They are making a big effort to preach the "Mystery of the Great Righteous Jue", and they are afraid that our learning and thinking will infiltrate and cause trouble in the local area, not only will their political achievements be lost, but they will also lose their top or even lose their heads. Yongzheng should also fully support this, the trend of isolation between the north and the south will become more and more obvious, and the circulation of goods will be a different situation. If we don't do anything, a country will suffer. ”

Liang Boshi saw the emperor for the first time with his own eyes, and the unfinished marriage with Yan Sanniang many years ago involuntarily turned in his mind, he didn't have any resentment, he just sighed that the world is impermanent, that night, if he arrived early, would things be different?

was distracted, but was stared at by Li Shi, his eyes were sharp, so that Liang Boshi's back instantly soaked through his clothes, but then the gaze turned to kindness, Li Shi also bowed slightly at him, and Liang [嚩香] Boshi's heart almost jumped out of his chest before he settled down.

By the way, I am a rare Fujian member in the Western Courtyard, and if I can sit in this place, I have to pay attention to this identity.

Liang Boshi woke up to the fact that the composition of today's meeting was rather strange, Xue Xue and Chen Wance, I heard that they were the apprentices of Duan Guoshi, specializing in power and strategy, and Gu Xiyi was the envoy of the Ministry of Planning, in charge of the finances of a country, and Peng Xianzhong was the Zhongshu Zuocheng, who was in charge of industrial and commercial affairs. And the eight members of the Western Courtyard are all the "northern faction" of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. An Jinzhi's side focused on the "Southern School" of Nanyang but did not attend, and the discussion was about Jiangnan affairs, which means that .........,

After Xue Xue's introduction, Li Shi went straight to the topic and solved Liang Boshi's doubts, "Your business, whether it is raw materials or markets, depends on the north, especially the south of the Yangtze River. For example, the cloth industry of the Liang family in Foshan, the salt of the Shen family in Chaoshan and the Liang family in Quanzhou, the silk weaving of the Han family in Guangzhou, and even the grain, rice and glass of Hunan

An old man stood up in fear and bowed, "Your Majesty thinks for the benefit of our small people" and was terrified...... Today I was invited to come, but I was told to do everything. ”

This is Liang Huan, the head of the Liang family in Foshan, in the early years, when Li Shi was just Li Beijiang, he was used as a pedal when he entered Foshan. Although Liang Huan lost his interests in the battle between Li Xi and Li Xu, he had become a major worker in Guangzhou because he had joined Li Xi's Qingpu Chamber of Commerce early, and his ironware, porcelain, and cloth industries occupied a large market share in the country.

Li Xian smiled and said: "Lao Liang, don't be obedient, this is to help you plan the way forward." ”

Liang Huan smiled [嚩香], he and the emperor are also old friends, but together with Han Yujie, he pushed the Chamber of Commerce and Industry to force the emperor to withdraw from the stock market, and he was really worried in his heart.

Liang Boshi next to him sympathized with Li Xian's words just now, if the isolation between the north and the south is successful, whether it is raw materials or the market, it will be greatly affected, especially in Jiangnan. Now he has set up a salt industry joint company with the Chaoyan Shen family, and most of the business is to sell salt to the south of the Yangtze River. The emperor noticed this, did he say that he was going to attack Jiangnan?

The others had the same mind, and they all said: "Your Majesty is right, no matter what other places, if Jiangnan is going to be sealed, not to mention the suffering of the Tartar court itself, we will also suffer from it!" ”

Han Yujie coughed and said: "Although there is a Western Courtyard now, which can integrate all parties of industry and commerce, but Jiangnan is powerful, and if you really want to wave troops to take it, it will be too troublesome......

When Han Yujie said this, these Western Courtyard officials were silent, and Han Yujie reminded them. It seems that the emperor really wants to send troops to Jiangnan, and he summoned them today to give them work and persuade them to accept Jiangnan industry and commerce.

The impact was so great that they were reluctant to object, so they expressed their opposition with silence.

Li Xian said: "What you are worried about is also what I am worried about. Let's not talk about Jiangnan scholars, Jiangnan industry and commerce are extraordinary. Jiangnan salt merchants, grain, cotton and silk weaving, which one of them is pulled out and enters our country, are all extremely vicious predators. I have no intention of letting them share my Yinghua national fortunes, and I summoned you to discuss how to sweep away these predators. ”

Looking at the stunned courtyard affairs, Li Xian smiled and said: "That's right, I am going to send troops to Jiangnan, but this soldier is money, and it is you." It was not the Manchu officers and soldiers who dealt with it, but the Jiangnan gentry. ”

Jiangnan is a monster that Li Xian is very afraid of, and this fear is divided into three aspects.

First of all, Jiangnan has a large population, in 1820, the combined population of Jiangsu and Zhejiang has reached nearly 60 million, although it was a hundred years ago, how can there be more than 30 million, almost catching up with the population of Yinghua alone.

Secondly, Jiangnan Wensheng. Because of the deep accumulation, the cost of education in Jiangnan is very low, and the literacy rate is probably higher than that of Yinghua at this time. But the thinking above the literacy rate is all controlled by Confucianism. Needless to say, the status of Jiangnan scholars in the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially in the Ming Dynasty, what energy they can have is obvious to future generations.

The third point is the economy of Jiangnan, which is centered on the intensive cultivation of small-scale farmers and forms an economic circle of its own. Consumption and production have their own characteristics, which has also cultivated their own industrial and commercial class, coupled with the salt merchants and other forces born of clinging to power, the financial resources of this class are very terrifying, and the operation has its own roots.

From the perspective of these three aspects, the biggest trouble for Yinghua to collect Jiangnan is not whether it can be collected, but that it cannot be digested by the collection of publications. This is like the merger of two companies, although Yinghua has won Jiangnan on the surface, but with so many people, so many scholars, and such a huge capital, the maintenance and operation are completely different from Yinghua's current system. At that time, Jiangnan scholars will be devoured from the court, Jiangnan capital from the economy, and Jiangnan people from the people's public opinion, and the current system of Yinghua will still be able to maintain?

If Li Shi followed Zhu Yuanzhang's example, economically relocated the wealthy people in Jiangnan, and ideologically clamped [嚩香] to control Jiangnan scholars, he would be able to complete the formal integration. However, these measures are not compatible with the Anglo-Chinese system, Jiangnan is already under the rule of Yinghua, if you can do this to Jiangnan, then you can do this to Liangguang and Fujian, and then he will have to regress to the former Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, in order to implement these policies, he has to re-enhance the majesty of his imperial power, so that there is enough strength to carry out the action. …,

This is equivalent to his years of hard work in vain, and in the end, who annexed whom?

Does that mean that Jiangnan is impossible to enter the Anglo-Chinese country?

Of course, Yinghua wants to take Jiangnan, but it must go through some adjustment, and it must also take advantage of the fact that Jiangnan is not its own land, so that it can throw away many scruples and disintegrate Jiangnan ideologically, economically, and in terms of people's hearts.

Li Xian's words caused everyone in the West Courtyard to frown and think deeply, using them as businessmen and women as soldiers to rectify Jiangnan, which means Sichuan...,

"Your Majesty wants to ...... and colonize Jiangnan!?"

There are precedents such as Cochin, Guangnan and even Luzon, and everyone suddenly woke up.

Li Xi nodded, and only by colonizing Jiangnan, first completely defeating the local industry and commerce in Jiangnan economically, and turning it into the next home of Yinghua Capital, can the road to digest Jiangnan be paved.

Everyone looked at each other, and their excitement could no longer be hidden, and they were all red-faced. Colonizing Jiangnan, with the support of the emperor, those salt merchants, silk merchants, and grain merchants in Jiangnan are all worth millions, and Yinghua industry and commerce lie on them to suck blood, how much profit can they make!?

Chen Wance said: "This is a big project, which forces are too big and too deep, we can't reach in, we must completely eliminate them." Which forces can take advantage of the opportunity and can be used by us, this needs to be carefully calculated. I recruited you because your raw materials and commercial goods are closely related to Jiangnan, and you should also have a deep understanding of Jiangnan industry and commerce, and you can help the imperial court staff in these matters. ”

What could be better for business and commerce? The imperial court helps you fight competitors, helps you control the offline of commercial goods, and knocks the other party down, which is to help the imperial court defeat the enemies of the country, and the great profit can reach you justifiably.

"The two Huai salt merchants must be the first to be solved!"

"Su Song cotton silk, we can't let them weave anymore, just let them supply us with cotton raw silk!"

"You can't underestimate the grain merchants in Jiangnan, they can hold the grain and rice channels of 30 million Jiangnan people in their hands, and if they eat them, Jiangnan capital will be removed by half!"

The capitalists are "angry", whether they are competitors or partners, whoever blocks their financial path in Jiangnan and eats their interests is the enemy!

Xue Xue and Chen Rice glanced at each other, smiled at the same time, and said in their hearts that Your Majesty's soldiers and horses have sufficient combat power.

Liang Boshi was not completely dizzy, he said loudly: "But how can we do it?" The Qing court attaches great importance to Jiangnan, and we want to use silver money to smoke in Jiangnan, and the Qing court should not sit idly by. ”

Of course, not only will you not sit idly by, but you are more likely to invite you into the urn and swallow a mouthful.

Xue Xue said: "What does the imperial court do?" Of course, it will help you solve this problem. At present, the Qing court tightens the border defense, which is a good excuse and a good opportunity. ”

Li Xian smiled and said: "The soldiers and horses are not your way, and I will scare that Yongzheng." ”。 ））】。 ）
