Chapter 47: Go with the flow

The export volume of cotton cloth in the country is only ranked after tea, silk and silk, and the trade volume is quite amazing, only the annual trade volume of Jiang Customs is about 30 million horses, and its proportion in the overseas trade of Guangdong Customs, Fujian Customs and Zhejiang Customs can be seen in general, this prohibition, I don't know how many fleets are facing the embarrassing state of no goods to transport. As a result, a large number of fleets will flock to Shanghai, and foreign ships that need to import large quantities of cotton cloth will also have to enter Shanghai to trade.

What's even more alarming is that Kangxi's edict is to take cotton as an example first, will silk, grain, tea, and sugar also operate like this? It is good to say that the main production area of grain, tea, and sugar is not in Shanghai after all, but the main production area of silk and silk is around Shanghai, and if we really follow the example of cotton cloth, Shanghai will control the three main export commodities of cotton, silk, and silk.

Yinzhen is also the director of Jiang Customs, and he doesn't know how many fleets will rely on him to eat, and in this case, he will join forces to jam his neck, unless he doesn't want to do maritime trade.

After the shock, it is fear, Kangxi's edict is clearly telling everyone, don't provoke Yinzhen, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. The panicked officials didn't care about visiting and negotiating at this time, and each passed the news back as quickly as possible, but only a little more than a month later, a large number of fast horses galloped out of the capital again and rushed to the various coastal areas of the Qing Dynasty.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Wu Sidao put down the newspaper and couldn't help but praise loudly, and after speaking, he stood up on crutches and walked slowly around the room.

Seeing Wu Sidao's rare move, Yin Zhen couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. is an opponent in chess this time, Lao Fourteen's hand is really beautiful, in this way, let alone trucking wood, I am afraid that the major maritime trade fleets will send the wood to the door." On weekdays, I really don't see that my fellow brother has this vision and courage. ”

Wu Sidao turned around and said calmly, "Fourth Master, the attitude of the saint is very clear, we can't destroy it now, then we can only follow the trend." ”

Go with the flow? How to follow the trend? Yin Zhen looked puzzled.

"Hehe, isn't there still a gap of 20 million in the fourteenth master, he has not only solved the timber this time, the export control of cotton cloth is in his hands, and the gold and silver sea are not rolling in, but Sidao seems that the fourteenth master will not stop there, I am afraid that there will be killing in the future, these four masters don't need to pay attention, just sing praises for the fourteenth master in front of the saint, but from the perspective of the country and the people."

Yin Zhen was depressed when he heard it, as a prince, flattery, especially flattering his father, that is a lesson that must be practiced since childhood, but there is nothing difficult about it, but what is the benefit of doing it for himself? The fourteenth brother is already a saint, and if you help him blow it, how will our brothers live in the future?

What kind of person is Wu Sidao, as soon as he saw Yinzhen's face, he roughly understood his thoughts, and he didn't explain, and changed his words, "Is there any abnormality in the eighth master during this time?" ”

Yin Zhen shook his head slightly, "The eighth child is recuperating at home with illness now, and he doesn't leave the house all day long, he can't avoid suspicion now, and he dares to have anything abnormal." Bayi Chinese~"

"Is there anything abnormal about the prince during this time?"

"The second brother hasn't made any moves recently, his power has been reduced very much this time, he is now careful everywhere, cautious every step of the way, and he is walking on thin ice in everything he does, for fear of attracting the attention of Huang Ama, but his two minions who are not very noticeable on weekdays, Sitku and Nirta have not shown up for a month." After Yin Zhen finished speaking, he realized that these two leading brothers were so quiet? Wu Sidao is this to learn from himself?

"From now on, please ask the fourth master to alienate the prince as much as possible, as long as he knows his affairs, he must not be involved." Wu Si said in a deep voice, "Now on the surface, it is the prince and the eighth master, in fact, you have to add the fourteenth master and the fourth master, and now the eighth master is recuperating in the mansion to avoid suspicion, and the prince is also safe and courteous on the surface, and the fourteenth master is even far away from the capital." Speaking of this, he glanced at Yinzhen, "The saint is already fifty and seven years old, what does he desire the most?" ”

Although Wu Sidao didn't say it explicitly, that glance made Yinzhen feel a little embarrassed, these brothers were hiding, sick and sick, what did they do? What does Huang Ama crave now? What does that mean?

Wu Sidao said faintly: "The saint is old, he is also like an ordinary old man, longing for family affection, especially in this situation, he can realize the preciousness of family affection, and now the most able to obtain the sacred heart is filial piety!" ”

Yinzhen finally understood, filial piety and filial piety, obedience is filial piety! The so-called following the trend is to follow Kangxi by yourself.

Lian Beile Mansion, the ninth elder brother Yinyu and the tenth elder brother Yinyu came to the house of the starling Yinyu in a hurry, "Starling, take a look." As he spoke, he handed over the newspaper.

Yinxi took it with a smile, "The entrance is not to ask about the dry matter, and you can know when you look at your face, what is the happy event today?" ”

Yin Yu smiled: "You can see it by looking at it, the old fourteen is so big." ”

After taking a closer look, Yinxi frowned, "This old fourteen is indeed a big deal, but he stepped on Kali for no reason." After that, there was a wry smile, "I have to help him clean up the aftermath again." ”

Yin Yu smiled indifferently: "Kali, the starling brother is going to send someone to comfort him, but the old fourteen has given us a big face this time. ”

"Well, in the past six months, among the brothers, only the fourteenth brother has been punching and kicking alone, and this situation is not easy to come by." Yin Yu sighed with relief: "Now, he can be regarded as having a firm foothold in Shanghai, and our three brothers don't have to worry." ”

Yin Qi said with a smile on the side: "The fourteenth brother is tossing in the south of the Yangtze River, and the ninth brother is really slanderous when I look at it." ”

"You, if you take advantage of this idea early, Huang Ama will not allow it." Yin Xi smiled, "Don't be slanderous, it's an abrasive errand, building a fleet is enough for fourteen busy, and now there is another Jianghaiguan." After a pause, he said again: "Don't stand on the shore and watch, go back and clear the servants under the house, pick some incorruptible, and send a few to the fourteenth brother in a down-to-earth manner, be careful, don't send the hand-chief, the three brothers can't afford to lose that face." ”

Yin Yu and the two smiled, "Brother starling, don't worry, we know the severity." ”

After the two brothers left, Yinxi smiled bitterly and began to write a letter to Kali, but he secretly said in his heart, this old fourteen still does not change this reckless temperament, and should write a letter to him to mention it, according to his method, the adults who have finally recruited him will let him offend.
