After the meeting, Zheng Sanjun asked Feng Yuanbiao uneasily: "The Baoshanwei land dispute is too much of a movement, if it weren't for the yamen at all levels trying their best to conceal it, I'm afraid that the big incident of killing and injuring hundreds of people would have spread to the capital long ago, now that I think about it, the squires have indeed gone too far, and the foolish brother is very worried that Zhu Daolin will launch murderous revenge on the rich gentry in Songjiang and Taicang!" ”

Feng Yuanbiao laughed: "It is commonplace to fight among the people in the countryside, who can prohibit it for thousands of years?" There is a way that the law does not hold the public accountable, and such incidents often end up being resolved, not to mention that the lawsuit and judgment are in our hands, who knows who killed whom in the conflict of hundreds of people? ”

"Although he Zhu Daolin is a general of Fengguo from the second grade, the commander of Baoshanwei, but this matter has long been beyond the scope of his power, not to mention that the local squire holds the title deed issued by the government in his hand, and it is justified to take back the name of his own land, whether it is in accordance with the Ming law or the Ming military law, it is not within his jurisdiction Zhu Daolin, even if the lawsuit is brought to the court and the emperor, he has no reason at all, at most he asks the local squire to compensate for some soup and medicine."

"No matter how capable he Zhu Daolin is, he will not dare to go against the government offices of Songjiang Prefecture and Taicang Prefecture and thousands of people, if he dares to act rashly and secretly retaliate, I will immediately impeach him for the great crime of not thinking about resisting the enemy and leaving his post without permission.

Zheng Sanjun nodded frequently: "That's fine, but let's inform Old Man Wang and the others, don't be careless, Zhu Daolin, a wild Taoist, is really a headache if he doesn't follow the routine!" ”

Feng Yuanbiao smiled again: "Don't worry." Baoshanwei has our people, as long as Zhu Daolin shows up, it will spread all over Songjiang and Taicang in less than half a day. Old man Wang and other seniors of the family have their own countermeasures, haha! ”

……

……

At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, Wang Daozhi personally led more than 50 officials and officials to escort eight carriages loaded with 360,000 taels of official silver, and went straight to the courtyard of Tiangong Trading Co., Ltd. north of Jinchuan Wharf.

More than ten people on both sides spent more than an hour counting the silver taels, and the chief administrator Zhao Xunting took out a transfer deed in triplicate, stamped with Zhu Daolin's seal and signed the name, which made the dignified Yin Wang Daozhi depressed. Without saying a word about signing and stamping, or when he would come to receive the dock, he instructed his officials to put away two of the contracts and leave.

Zhao Xunting sighed silently. He instructed the guards to put the silver into a large wooden box, carry it on six military-standard carriages, and send it to Zhu Daolin's study at the back of the main courtyard of Hushan, and pile it directly on the open space near the corner of the wall on the inside of the study.

Zhu Daolin motioned for Zhao Xunting to sit down and make a cup of tea for this hard-working henchman.

Zhao Xunting bowed to Xu Hongji and Wu Jingxian, who came separately early in the morning. took the hot tea handed by Zhu Daolin. Whispered Reports:

"Lord Yin of Tianfu was very unhappy, and after signing the transfer contract, he left, and he didn't say when he would send someone to handle the reception procedures."

Zhu Daolin didn't care: "There is a saying, three lives are unfortunate, and the county is attached to Guo; Three lives do evil, attached to the provincial city of Guo; Full of evil, attached to Guo Jingcheng, he has been in the cracks of officialdom since he took office. He didn't catch the good things, and the bad things were indispensable to him. Although he is among the Donglin party, he is not the leader of Donglin, he is not high, he is not low, and he is always pushed out as a target, it is strange that he can be happy. ”

Xu Hongji and his son, Ye Liangchen, Wu Jingxian, Fu Yinglong, Li Kuanji and others burst into laughter, and Zhao Xunting couldn't help laughing.

Wu Jingxian finished laughing and pointed to a stack of large boxes in the corner: "Dao Lin, you have been accumulating gold and silver for half a year, do you really plan to mint silver coins?" ”

Zhu Daolin motioned for everyone to sit down, and dealt with this sensitive issue nonchalantly: "I haven't thought it through yet, let's take it first, in case everyone is willing to mint silver coins at that time, they won't be caught off guard, I heard that the three major silver vaults of Bofu are about to be filled with gold and silver, if everyone is willing, I am willing to exchange copper for gold and silver." ”

Xu Hongji immediately agreed with a smile: "Okay! Our casting of Chongzhen Tongbao has become a big tomorrow under the resounding hard currency, casting how much is not enough to go around the semicolon with gold and silver, the copper in the total number of the silver vault has been used up by two coinage workshops, most of the silver deposited in the silver vault is after we smelt again high-quality gold bars and silver ingots, as long as you transport the copper, how much gold and silver you want to exchange is no problem. ”

"How many gold bars are re-smelted?" Zhu Daolin asked.

Xu Hongji thought for a while: "The report at the end of last month was 1.42 million taels, and it is estimated that it will increase by at least 300,000 taels in the half month, so you can calculate it according to 1.7 million taels." There are more silver ingots, all of which are silver ingots of ninety percent and five percent of the color, divided into two specifications of 10 taels and 50 taels of ingots, the quantity is about 6 million taels, the current exchange ratio is 1 tael of gold to 11 taels of silver, 1 tael of silver to 87 taels of ninety-three copper, and the miscellaneous copper purchased in the market is exchanged for 105-110 taels. ”

Zhu Daolin calculated for a moment: "The silver in the total inventory is temporarily kept, and I want a little more gold bars for ninety percent of the gold bars, how much can you give me?" ”

Xu Hong basically wanted to say that you can finish it, but when he saw Wu Jingxian looking at him with a smile, he immediately remembered that Wu Jingxian was also one of the shareholders, and hurriedly asked Wu Jingxian's opinion.

Wu Jingxian already knew that his cheap nephew had an extraordinary attachment to gold, so he naturally would not set up obstacles, but he still cautiously suggested that Xu Hongji leave some gold in the treasury and not exchange it all.

Who knew that after Xu Hongji nodded, he directly said to Zhu Daolin a number that made Wu Jingxian secretly shake his head: "Then exchange it for 1.2 million taels, you can calculate how much copper you should do, and it is best to do this within three months, otherwise your uncle's minting workshop and I will have to stop working." ”

Zhu Daolin immediately agreed, turned to Zhao Xunting and instructed: "Brother Zhao, you are fully responsible for this matter, exchange it in three months, and about 500 tons of copper will arrive at Baoshan Port within half a month, and then I will order the navy to escort it back to you, and strive to transport back a batch every month. ”

"Understood."

Although Zhao Xunting didn't know that Zhu Daolin was secretly preparing to build the Daming Four Seas Bank, he did not hesitate to take on this heavy burden.

Xu Hongji and Wu Jingxian whispered a few words, remembering the incident of Chongmingzhong's attack by pirates, they immediately looked at Zhu Daolin, and asked loudly: "Daolin, how do you plan to deal with the pirate attack in Chongmingzhong?" ”

Zhu Daolin sighed: "The younger generation has just come back, and I don't know what's going on, the old history suspects that the Yuan family father and son of the Chongming Sha Institute are involved in the pirates, but there is no evidence to prove this matter, and it needs to be investigated carefully to make a conclusion, but one thing can be confirmed, the pirates who have disappeared for many years have reappeared in the area from Hangzhou Bay to the sea off Ningbo, and when the juniors are busy with the affairs at hand, they immediately order the fleet to carry out a clean-up." ”

Xu Hongji sighed: "There are many islands in the sea area from Hangzhou Bay to Dinghaiwei, how easy is it to find pirates?" Even if you find someone on a certain island, you can't tell whether it's a pirate or a good citizen, so you can't kill them all, right? ”

Zhu Daolin replied: "When I met a good person who was forced to live on a desert island by life, the younger generation sent people to Yingzhou Island to open up wasteland and farm...... In fact, there is a difference between these people and pirates, as long as they are carefully observed and screened one by one, it is impossible for anyone to hide from the eyes of the brothers. ”

Xu Hongji was stunned: "The suppression of bandits at sea is protracted, and you still have to command the new army on Phi Dao to fight, do you have so much time?" ”

Zhu Daolin smiled: "Where do the juniors have time to play hide and seek with the pirates?" But the brothers of Baoshanwei have time, dozens of small warships captured from Dengzhou have been refitted, and they have already been sent to Baoshanwei and the Fushan Qianhu Office in Jiaozhou Bay, just let Baoshanwei send more than 200 instructors to lead more than 1,000 recruits, drive more than 30 small warships to the sea in turn, and go to the vicinity of Dinghaiwei to find trouble with pirates, whether they can eliminate pirates or not, as long as they work uninterrupted for a year and a half, the goal of the younger generation can be achieved. ”

Everyone immediately understood what Zhu Daolin meant, this is to completely seal the posture of Ningbo Port!

Xu Hongji and Wu Jingxian looked at each other for a long time, and had to sigh secretly for Zhu Daolin's revenge.
