The reason why Zhu Daolin was willing to spend 600,000 taels of silver to build Gushan City was because he saw a huge opportunity from the secret letter sent by Wu Jingxian.

It can be seen from this that the Chongzhen Emperor, who was in a dilemma, had reached the point of being ill and rushing to the doctor, and it seemed that he was unable to rebuild the political system full of holes, and gradually lost control of the army.

With Emperor Chongzhen's holy decree to rebuild the Nanjing Firearms Factory, Zhu Daolin has an extra layer of solid security and a murderous knife!

In Zhu Daolin's view, this edict is more valuable than the four-grade command of the Nanjing Five Military Governor's Mansion that Wu Jingxian asked for him, and Zhu Daolin can develop his own armed forces openly, manufacture his own weapons and equipment, and do business in any place in the Ming Dynasty without restraint, and the huge value contained in it is far above 600,000 taels of silver.

After sending off the two thousands of households in Dongchang who were full of gratitude to Dade, Zhu Daolin immediately sent someone to invite the fifth uncle and the chief manager Zhao Xunting, who was responsible for the security and defense of Ziyangguan and Hushan Manor, and threw out his important plan that had been brewing for a long time - to form a carriage company!

Xuanfang Daochang and Zhao Xunting did not know the real purpose of Zhu Daolin's establishment of the carriage shop, thinking that the goods transportation needs of Shangyuan Wharf and the major workshops, and there were more and more people and things under the jurisdiction of Ziyangguan, and the three major workshops of Hushan Manor and the two major workshops of Zizhuyuan were gradually on the right track, and the entry and exit of personnel and goods were becoming more and more frequent, and it was indeed inconvenient to always hire carriages and ox carts from other car dealers.

Therefore, both Daoist Xuanfang and Zhao Xunting felt the need to set up their own carriage shop, under the iron workshop of Hushan Manor. There is a thriving carriage branch, and dozens of carriages can be directly transferred to transfer a group of personnel, and the news only needs to be released, and within ten days, the diligent businessmen will send batches of pack horses to be sold.

Because the carriage and horse shop needs many chauffeurs who can drive the car, they need brave and careful young men with some force to serve as guards. The task of organizing and managing the carriage shop naturally fell on the shoulders of the chief of Xuanfang Road.

Zhu Daolin once again succeeded in being the shopkeeper, and instructed Zhao Xunting to transfer 30 carriages from various workshops to the No. 2 warehouse surrounded by high walls on the inside of the wharf, and transport 10 hydraulic rice mills, 2 of which were transported to the ironware workshop for imitation, 8 to the Yan family's old man, and then 10,000 sets of embroidered scripts, 500 boxes of carved brand soap, 50 large boxes of scissors, sewing needles, small mirrors, etc.

Just after noon, 30 Changxin two-wheeled carriages loaded with various goods left Shangyuan Wharf. Drive to the south to the Jinchuan Gate.

Ying Da's shopkeeper and Yan Yihe and others, who received the urgent report, had already led a group of relatives to wait outside the Jinchuan Gate.

Due to the fact that the commercial tax of thirty taxes and one in various parts of the Ming Dynasty was abandoned, Ying Changpei instructed the bookkeeper to symbolically hand over a sum of money to the tax collector at the city gate, and let the old housekeeper and Yan Yihe lead the convoy back, and board the carriage himself to rush to Shangyuan Wharf to see what good things Zhu Daolin transported back this time.

Zhu Daolin and Shi Qingyang, who had been promoted to a thousand households of sailors, were visiting several rows of barracks above the military wharf, and when Ying Changpei arrived, Zhu Daolin and Lao Shi were squatting next to a new well and talking in a low voice.

I saw Ying Changpei coming in a hurry. Shi Qingyang was frustrated, and helplessly took out an ingot of 1 tael of silver and handed it to Zhu Daolin. Turning his head to Ying Changpei, who was full of spring breeze, he complained:

"Third brother, what are you doing here? I don't have to lose 1 tael of silver to an adult, but I can earn 3 taels of silver from him, alas! ”

Ying Changpei suddenly realized, and scolded angrily: "I actually bet on my brother." Hungry? ”

Zhu Daolin put away the silver and pointed to the four rows of tall barracks built against the mountain behind him: "Help me take a look, how about it?" ”

Ying Changpei looked at it for a moment, entered the nearest barracks and took a closer look, and after reading it, he shook his head again and again: "It's too extravagant." Why is it so good to be a soldier? A room of high and low beds, a three-zhang long large desk, so many square stools, rows of cabinets, etc., is enough to build a decent house, and even equips each person with a large copper basin and a copper cup, is this to be a soldier or to be an uncle? ”

Zhu Daolin didn't even have any interest in explaining after listening to it, so he pulled Lao Shi out of the barracks.

Ying Changpei realized that he had spoken more heavily, forgetting that Zhu Daolin also had a few years of military experience, so he hurriedly laughed and followed: "Old Shi should be satisfied this time, right?" Just bring your dozens of hundred-household flags here, put up a big banner to recruit soldiers, and at least a few thousand people will come to enlist, all crying and shouting that they want to eat with you. ”

Shi Qingyang explained with regret: "The little brother doesn't have this blessing! This luxurious barracks, as well as the sturdy fort in the north, all belong to the Shangyuan Thousand Households of the Sailor under the command of our Lord Zhu, and the younger brother will lead 1,200 recruits down the river in half a month to the mouth of the Yangtze River to rebuild the Baoshan Thousand Households. ”

Ying Changpei was greatly surprised when he heard this, and stared at Zhu Daolin, who looked calm: "You plan to lead the troops in person?" ”

Zhu Daolin nodded: "Personally lead the troops, personally recruit the troops, Wei Guogong has signed the paperwork, Shangyuan Qianhu followed the Qi family army to implement the recruitment system, because there is one more battery, the total number of officers and soldiers has increased to 1,500, in addition to sending a deputy Qianhu to be in charge of military law, all officers are reported by me, the acting Qianhu, so at least within a year, the officers and soldiers of Shangyuan Qianhu are personally led by me." ”

"Are you crazy? Business is not done? ”

Ying Changpei blurted out subconsciously, and regretted it after speaking.

In fact, today's business does not need Zhu Daolin to do it himself, the shareholders have long accepted Zhu Daolin's reasonable set of "shareholders' meeting" system, the shareholders and the personnel stationed in the general number work together, more than 30 veteran qualified account offices spent 40 days, and finally thoroughly understood the rigorous and exquisite set of "loan bookkeeping" that Zhu Daolin brought back from the Tianshu Pavilion, and the beginning of this month has begun to gradually implement to the semicolons.

The "five-person think tank of Qianzhuang Industry", the general manager of Bofu, the general manager of the general account, the general manager of the general account, the general manager of the sub-general account and other "management personnel" and ordinary associates and ordinary associates are all constrained by strict rules and regulations, and truly "everything has rules to follow and laws to follow".

Shareholders only need to check the statements every month, and if there are problems, they will meet to solve them, and everything will speak with performance, which is why Bofu Money is now thriving.

Therefore, Ying Changpei knew that he was wrong after saying that, and now he doesn't need to be personally respectful for Bofu Qianzhuang, not to mention Zhu Daolin, the largest shareholder?

Zhu Daolin except for going to the overseas Tianshu Pavilion to buy goods once every two months, he can squander it at will at any time of the rest of the time, what can't he do? What's more, with an army of 1,500 people, Zhu Daolin's position will be more stable.
