Chapter 34: God, I heard you right

After two tea times, Yinzhen said coldly, "What, now I know I'm afraid?" Why don't you know that you are afraid when you divide money and food privately? ”。 Bayi Chinese ~ Hand hit the Reading Pavilion mobile novel site

Hearing Yinzhen's words, Zhu Yanzhi, who had been waiting for complete despair and was paralyzed, immediately felt like a shot in the heart, he fell to the ground and knocked his head seven or eight times in a row, and his forehead broke the skin, and he didn't care about the blood flowing between his eyebrows, and choked up, "Xiaguan has gone from the magistrate to the prefect step by step, and has not experienced setbacks. ”

"Have you ever known the sentence 'Guo Xiu is dead, and Guo Xiu is also coming now'?" Yinzhen asked slowly.

This sentence was said by Guo Xiu, who was known as the 'Iron Mask Imperial History' in the dynasty, after repenting of bribery, how could Zhu Yanzhi not remember it, who is Guo Xiu? Zhu Yanzhi didn't expect that Yinzhen would use him to motivate himself, but in an instant, he woke up to the fact that the promotion of the first and second rank ministers has always been a dictatorship of the Sacred Heart, and the fourteenth master is this, has the heart to compete for the reserve?

If there is really that day, this is a good story of the meeting of kings and ministers, and the official residence is not out of reach! He suddenly felt that his whole body's blood was boiling, and regardless of the pain in his forehead, he knocked three times in a row, and then stood up and said loudly: "The fourteenth master values the lower officials so much, the lower officials are willing to serve with death, and they are not afraid of death, why are they greedy for money?" Please wait and see, I will have another Guo Xiu. Bayi Chinese~"

Yinzhen didn't expect that Zhu Yanzhi would have such a big reaction when he said a word, and he chuckled at the moment: "Okay, the prodigal son will not change his money, but this punishment is inevitable, and he will be dismissed and retained in the Reading Pavilion." ”

As long as the official is still there, everything else is a floating cloud, Zhu Yanzhi forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "The lower official will not live up to the expectations of the fourteenth master." ”

"If you have this determination, you have to take action." Yin Zhen said slowly: "For the official for one term, for the benefit of one party, the lord does not want a clean official with clean sleeves, what the lord wants is a clean official who can seek benefits for the people, pay more attention to the people's livelihood in the future, care about the people, the people are rich and the country is strong, go back and slowly ponder the reading pavilion." ”

After Zhu Yanzhi left, Yinzhen wrote a secret letter to Kangxi, pointing out the role of missionaries and Westerners in building the ocean-going fleet, and asking for permission to stay in Shanghai. In addition, he wrote a letter to the starling Yinxi, explaining Zhu Yanzhi's situation, asking him to help go to the ministry to say hello, and then took out a name sticker of his own, and put Zhu Yanzhi's name on it, and then sent a personal guard to the Jiangning Governor's Mansion quickly.

As soon as he finished his work, Hai Feng came in to report that Zheng Qingyuan was out asking to see him.

Zheng Qingyuan was sent by Yinzhen to play the front station and snap up the land, and after coming in, he reported, "Fourteenth master, the slave arrived in Shanghai half a month ago, and bought 200 acres of land along the Huangpu River in the northeast outside the county seat, and bought 30 acres in the county and other directions, because the purchase was more urgent, so the price was a bit high, and a total of 6,000 taels of silver was spent. ”

200 acres, 130,000 square meters? Yinzhen smiled: "Yes, don't buy it now, wait until I settle down on our foothold." ”

Before Zheng Qingyuan left, five missionaries came on their hind feet.

Yinzhen had a little conversation with the five people, only to learn that these five people had originally gone to Beijing to teach at the invitation of Min Ming and me, and met Min Ming's messenger halfway, so they came to Shanghai by way.

After thinking for a moment, Yinzhen smiled and said: "I'm sorry, priests, now the situation has changed, Shanghai will soon be the same as Guangzhou, the second port in the Qing Dynasty that allows foreign missionaries to stay, and the largest shipyard in the East will be built here, I need more foreign friends to come here, merchants, sailors, mechanics, all kinds of craftsmen, etc., I, Yinzhen, the fourteenth prince of the Qing Empire, will give the warmest welcome to their arrival, I hope they can witness the rise of Shanghai with us, believe me, Ten years from now, Shanghai will be the largest trading port in the East. I need you to go to Guangzhou and Macau now to spread the news and recruit more people for me, and this will become your paradise. ”

The five missionaries were stunned for a long time before Peter, who was the leader, exclaimed, "God, I heard the Reading Pavilion right? ”

"I promise, I heard you right." Yin Zhen said with a smile: "For your hard work, I will pay the corresponding remuneration, so that in the Reading Pavilion, within a year, all the craftsmen and sailors, one tael of silver for the introduction fee, I can pay each of you twenty taels of silver first, and send someone to accompany you." ”

After speaking, without waiting for a few missionaries to speak, he turned his head to Zheng Yuanqing and instructed: "Give the matter at hand to Haifeng, go to the Shanghai branch to open a ticket of 3,000 taels, bring the name of the master, and pick twenty more people, and accompany them to Guangzhou and Macao, and know how to do the Reading Pavilion?" ”

"Minions understand." Zheng Qingyuan was excited, he was at this age when he liked to run around, not to mention that he had already heard of the prosperity of Guangzhou.

After sending a few missionaries away, Yinzhen called Haifeng again, "Those people you collected, you ask them to write a resume by themselves, and they must indicate their respective strengths, hobbies, and recommenders, and I will ask for them tomorrow." ”

Early the next morning, the sky was slightly bright, Xu Shizhen, the magistrate of Shanghai, took more than 20 servants outside the Liuchun Garden, the Beijing division was early in the morning, and all the ministers had developed the habit of getting up early, who knows if the fourteenth master also had the habit of getting up early, he didn't want to leave a lazy impression in Yinzhen's heart, so he had to come early.

Unexpectedly, this Hou waited for an hour, and waited until five o'clock in the hour to see Yinzhen come out under the support of a group of guards, and saw Xu Shizhen standing outside the door, Yinzhen smiled: "There is no need to be so early in the future, I am used to opening the door at four o'clock in the hour to do things." You haven't eaten breakfast yet, so I'll ask them to prepare one for you, and eat on the way. ”

Xu Shizhen didn't expect Yinzhen to be so sympathetic to his subordinates, and he was secretly happy, it seemed that the future would not be too difficult, so he hurriedly waved his hand, "The subordinates of the lower officials thanked the fourteenth master." ”

Yinzhen waved his hand and said: "I forgot to remind you yesterday that you also need to be familiar with the water level of the Huangpu River, which is the most important thing." ”

"The subordinate will send someone to invite." Xu Shizhen replied respectfully.

Named to survey the location of the factory, in fact, Yinzhen has long been confident, but he had to pretend to run around to see, at the end of the day, a group of people are tired to death, so run for four days, Yinzhen only initially set the location, and then he is to check the information and listen to the report of several senior sailors, after determining that the water level of the Huangpu River channel is about three feet and four feet, he finally set the location, northeast of Shanghai from the county seat more than ten kilometers along the river.

Seeing that there were no houses in the place where Yinzhen finally settled, Xu Shizhen also breathed a sigh of relief, and after consulting Yinzhen's opinion, he immediately led people to start enclosing the land, and encircled 2,000 acres of land.

After Yinzhen settled the place, he only left one sentence, "Ground will be broken here in the next year." "Just leave it alone, land requisition and demolition are not his business, presumably Kangxi has already given a secret decree to these magistrates.
