Early the next morning, the first batch of silver arrived, and the wagons drove into the Mawei barracks. This is the silver of several local families in Fuzhou, totaling 1.6 million taels; It was supposed to be 3.6 million taels, but 2 million was advanced in advance and placed at the headquarters of the trading company to build the Monkey Island Commercial Port. One million six hundred thousand taels of silver, that is, 100,000 catties, and then fifty tons! It took more than 40 horse-drawn carriages to transport all of them here, and if more than 20 million taels were to be transported together, how many carriages would be needed?

The soldiers who escorted the silver began to carry boxes of silver into the cellar that had been built one after another, and the surrounding soldiers stood straight in five steps, one post, ten steps, and one sentry, which brought a lot of pressure to the families, and hundreds of large boxes were carried all morning.

In the next few days, silver arrived from all over the country. Finally the cellar was filled with silver, and there were two hundred and twenty thousand taels in all, and eight hundred thousand taels were silver tickets. This kind of silver ticket was opened by Shanxi merchants, and it is indeed a good thing; However, Fujian is too far away from Shanxi, and there is very little business in Shanxi, so there are very few silver tickets here. At this time, Shanxi's money bank had just begun, and the bill business was not long. Looking at his pile of silver, he was also thinking in his heart: Now that he has so much silver as a foundation, he can also open a bank, which is an early bank, and opening a bank is a profiteering industry! In addition, transporting silver in this way every time is time-consuming and laborious, not to mention, it is also very dangerous. Silver tickets, you have to get it up!

"Report to the world, the last general will catch a spy!" Geng Jingzhong was thinking as he walked, when a cold voice interrupted his train of thought. Geng Jingzhong raised his head and saw that a hundred households with a few soldiers saluted him, and two people were escorted behind him. One of them looked like a scholar, and the other dressed as a scholar. When the scholar heard that these hundred households called Geng Jingzhong the son of the world, he stared at Geng Jingzhong vigorously, as if Geng Jingzhong was a peerless beauty and had great attraction.

"Spies? Just the two of them? Geng Jingzhong pointed to the two people behind him and asked with some suspicion. But looking at the scholar, he looks handsome and tall, and he doesn't look like a person who does such a thing.

"Yes, I am a son! These two people sneakily broke into our naval powerhouse, and they also checked and pointed everywhere, they must be spies! "These 100 honest reports.

After hearing this, Geng Jingzhong smiled noncommittally, waved his hand lightly, and said, "Let go of them, this scholar can't stand your toss like this." After speaking, Geng Jingzhong took two steps to the side, sat down on a stone, and said to this "spy": "Tell me, where did you come from?" With that, he picked up the kettle and took a sip of water.

The two soldiers let go of the scholar and his scholar, and the scholar straightened his clothes, saluted Geng Jingzhong, and said, "Student Li Guangdi, a Gongsheng of Quanzhou Mansion, has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Poof!" Geng Jingzhong just drank the water in his mouth and squirted out instantly, then immediately stood up and coughed violently a few times, and after coughing, he pointed at Li Guangdi and said, "You say it again, what is your name?" ”

"Student Li Guangdi has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" Li Guangdi is also very strange, does this prince know himself? I had been studying in Quanzhou before, and I had never traveled far; Although he has a small reputation in Quanzhou, it seems that he is still a lot worse in Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian.

"Lee Kwang-di!" This name Geng Jingzhong is too familiar, more familiar than hearing the name of his father Geng Jimao. In the previous life, all the TV series of the Kangxi Dynasty that I saw did not have Li Guangdi in it! Geng Jingzhong once specially checked the Internet to check several important characters in "Kangxi Dynasty", such as Wu Ciyou, Mingzhu, Suo Etu, etc., so he also knows Li Guangdi's information in great detail.

Speaking of Li Guangdi, this person is amazing. As the old saying goes, "A companion is like a tiger!" Since he began to enter the imperial court as an official, Li Guangdi has been deeply trusted by Kangxi for decades, which has to be said to be his ability! According to historical records, Li Guangdi was not only proficient in Confucianism, but also understood military affairs, and was an out-and-out talent. In the decades he has been an official, he has served as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, a governor of Zhili, a scholar in the Ministry of Politics, a waiter in the Ministry of Works, a scholar in the Ministry of Officials, and a scholar of Wenyuange, which shows his talent.

In addition, in history, as soon as Zheng Jing, who occupied Taiwan, died, he immediately said: "Zheng Jin is dead, Zi Kexuan is young, his subordinates are fighting for power, it is advisable to take it urgently", and appointed Shi Lang, a Taiwanese general who was familiar with the situation at sea, to lead the troops to take it. Kangxi completely adopted his Jianyì and finally took Taiwan. In addition, Kangxi personally conquered Geerdan three times, and he was a military counselor twice, which can really be regarded as a civil and military all-rounder.

With such a famous talent standing in front of him, how could he not make Geng Jingzhong lose his temper, and he immediately made up his mind to keep Li Guangdi. Geng Jingzhong looked around him twice, Quanzhou Gongsheng, also known as Li Guangdi, it seems that it will not be other people with the same name and surname.

"Li Guangdi, the word Jinqing, a native of Anxi Lake, Quanzhou?" Geng Jingzhong still read out the information in his memory.

Li Guangdi was really surprised at this time, although he thought he was talented, he should not have reached the point where everyone knew about it. How did the prince in the palace know about him, a little scholar? "Students are exact! I don't know how the prince knows? ”

"Oh, oh! A friend of mine is a son of a Quanzhou family, and he once told me about the customs of Quanzhou, including you! Hahaha! Geng Jingzhong was stunned at first, and made up an excuse in a hurry. However, you are not studying in Quanzhou, why did you come to my barracks? ”

"Back to Shizi, the student just broke in by mistake. The students went out to travel and heard that a port was being built here, so they came here to watch, and it was the student's fault that he did not want to enter the barracks by mistake, but the students were not spies. ”

"Hehe, I know this, and it doesn't look like you're dressed like it. Besides, no spy dared to walk into my barracks so blatantly, you entered the barracks and still looked around, if my soldiers still did not react, it was their dereliction of duty, and now it seems that my soldiers are still very conscientious. Geng Jingzhong listened to his explanation and said with a smile.

"The famous students of the prince have heard in Quanzhou, from the last year when the prince helped the victims, to the beginning of this year to exterminate the bandits in Fujian, plus some time ago also captured the warship of the Zheng family in Taiwan, the prince can be said to be famous and deeply loved by the people of Fujian. The students are also from Fujian, and they also want to do something for Fujian, but they are ashamed of their strength! ”

"Well, yes, you're not like other readers. Others only have their sage books and are bent on the title of the gold list, but you think of doing things, and by this alone, you are much stronger than them. ”

"The son of the world has won the award, and the students also hope for the title of the gold list, which is the wish of every reader, the students are just tired of reading, come out for a walk, and do nothing."

"You scholars love modesty, you must know that excessive modesty is pride! Let's not stand here, you and I are close in age, and we are familiar at first sight, so why don't we go in and have a drink or two, and chat by the way! Geng Jingzhong stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Li Guangdi hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "It's better to be respectful than to obey!" The prince of the world, please! ”

In history, Geng Jingzhong and Li Guangdi also had an intersection. When the imperial court began to pacify the three feudatories, Geng Jingzhong recruited talents in many ways in order to maintain his rule. So he forced well-known figures from all over Fujian to gather in Fuzhou to work for himself, and Li Guangdi took the initiative to go. Later, Li Guangdi was loyal to Geng Jingzhong, and when he returned to his hometown under the pretext that his father was seriously ill, he secretly reported Geng Jingzhong's truth to the Qing court, and led the Qing court to quickly defeat Geng's army. The main reason why Li Guangdi chose the Qing court over Geng Jingzhong was that Geng Jingzhong's strength was too weak; Following Geng Jiajun, the final outcome is failure, and he will be ruined and die without a place to bury. If Li Guangdi is dedicated to the imperial court, he will not take the initiative to go to Fuzhou, after all, he still hopes that Geng Jingzhong can succeed in his heart, but Geng Jingzhong in his previous life is too weak, and he is not a wise lord, so if he wants to retain talents, it is true

Today, Geng Jingzhong and Li Guangdi met again, and with Geng Jingzhong's reputation and strength at this time, Geng Jingzhong has already won Li Guangdi's recognition. It's just that if you want to keep Lee Kwang-di to work for him, it should take a lot more effort. A banquet quickly shortened the distance between the two; It has to be said that Chinese society is a society of interpersonal relationships, and most of the beginnings of interpersonal relationships start from the wine table. Tong Guò talked about Geng Jingzhong's growing love for Li Guangdi, who was different from the scholars he had ever met, who spoke without any sour atmosphere, and at the same time admired Li Guangdi's erudition more and more. Zhuge Liang once said: For generals, they don't know astronomy, geography, Qimen, yin and yang, don't look at the formation map, don't know the strength of the army, and are mediocre. Zhuge Liang's best thing is not to march and fight, but to deal with government affairs; The fact that Xishu's national politics were governed in an orderly manner by Prime Minister Zhuge is the best proof of this. And Li Guangdi is also a talent like Zhuge Liang! Although he is not as godly as Zhuge Liang, he is indeed knowledgeable and good at governance, no wonder he is an expert in handling government affairs in history.

Tong Guò talked, Li Guangdi also admired Geng Jingzhong. originally thought that even if the prince of the palace had some materials, it would not be very high, but in fact, it surprised him. Although Geng Jingzhong has also studied since childhood, he is far inferior to Li Guangdi in terms of knowledge, but his learning experience of more than ten years in later generations has made his understanding of things far beyond the cognition of this era, and he is also proficient in Western studies. may be able to say that it is powerful, or give a solution, many of the methods are beyond the expectations of ordinary people, but when you think about it carefully, it makes a lot of sense, not to mention that what Geng Jingzhong said is reasonable and well-founded, which makes Li Guangdi look at him with admiration and completely put away his contempt.

Although Geng Jingzhong was a little unaccustomed to the way these scholars spoke as soon as he came to this world, he still got used to it. In the conversation with Lee Kwang-di, in order to be able to recover this great talent for his own use, he really took out all the inventory in his stomach. I used the knowledge I had learned in my two lives to make a big difference, and it really worked. Li Guangdi doesn't know how broad Geng Jingzhong's knowledge is and how broad his horizons are, this prince's casual words may be the conclusions made by many generations of scholars in later generations, he said it at this time, in Li Guangdi's eyes, he naturally felt that His Royal Highness the prince was far-sighted!
