"Grass Clearing"

Chapter 558: The Controversy

From a distance, the port is barely visible. The returning ship lowered its hard sails, and the masts were stacked like a forest. The sails of the ships ready to set sail are like stratus clouds, which makes this port also show another kind of heaven and sea.

This is the moon port of Haicheng County, Zhangzhou, Fujian, Fujian people are sailing to Manila from here, originally there were only dozens of sea ships at the peak of the year, but now this situation, it seems that one day has passed the past year.

"This is the benefit of beacon smoke, most of which are transported to military supplies and brought back war catches. When Luzon is completely calmed down, there should be no more such grand occasion in Yuegang. ”

"And there is a bo, you haven't received the notice posted by the Ministry of Commerce? Many of the Spanish properties in Luzon, such as sea vessels, timber shops, tobacco plantations, mines, and Pulin real estate, will be sold within the year, and I have sent a fellow to scan them, and I believe that there are also a large number of Cantonese people who will try to do so. ”

"The emperor made a good deal, borrowed 10 million taels, defeated the Spaniards, swallowed Luzon, and it is said that there is now a harvest of three or four million taels. After these war gains were sold, the capital was returned that year, and throughout the ages, there were few wars that made such a lucrative business. ”

"What is a war victory? In my opinion, most of the imperial court wanted to follow the example of Funan and Boni, set up them as trusteeships, and awarded them to a company to contract industrial and commercial tax rights. Luzon is not as good as Funan and Boni, there are tens of thousands of Chinese, plus hundreds of thousands of natives, the port and the city outline are all ready, and if you take care of it a little, this company is afraid of no less than two or three million per year. The imperial court has to collect a million every year. ”

On the hill on the side of the port was originally a pavilion looking at the sea, but it was bought and renovated into a restaurant by a knowledgeable restaurant, and at this time, a group of wealthy merchants with gold and bright occupied the best room, and the port view was also used as a drink.

"Two or three million...... The galleons of the Spaniards, which make a round trip once a year, can also have this number. ”

When it was said to be lively, one person returned to the topic, and suddenly silenced everyone.

Although the route from Fujian to Manila in the past was from Yuegang, it was these people who organized the supply of goods and provided money turnover, and the profits of this route were of course controlled by them.

Now that Luzon has returned to the imperial court, and its status has not yet been determined, how the imperial court will deal with the original route from Fujian to Manila is a matter of further apost. But for these Fujian wealthy businessmen, this is a major event that is vital to Xing's life.

Originally, it wasn't so serious, there was no business here, there were other places, and now Fujian and Guangdong are vibrant, as long as you have the heart to drill the camp, there is money everywhere.

But they had all their thoughts and hopes before, and wanted to stay in this industry, and it happened that the stock market in Yutou Street in Huangpu also opened, giving them a chance.

At this moment, the proprietors of many sea vessels in Yuegang are Jianxia Investment, taking advantage of the battle of Luzon, the business is not bad, so as to gain a foothold in Yutou Street. Otherwise, they would not have escaped the audit of the Accounting and Audit Office, and the stock would have been given a red card long ago, and the stock market would never allow the existence of a leather bag company.

But this business is only the bottom line, and their real goal is to take this route. It is also by relying on the many rumors released before that the shares of Jianxia Investment can rush to the first high level of nearly 600 taels of silver, and even the entire Fujian cabinet is thanks to Jianxia Investment, and it is firmly in the stock market.

Now that Luzon is in hand, they will also see the difference in this fight, and they are all sure in their hearts, it is a big joke, and even Wang Mingle, the backbone of these people, is empty in his heart.

"Nanyang's stock has been hovering around 100 taels......"

Xu Shan spoke, the circle was a bit big, but it attracted everyone.

"Nanyang Company, Bo Ni Company, are the emperor and the imperial court of the industry, Foshan iron smelting, Dongguan Jinggong and so on are the industries of the Guangdong people, now these stocks, have been pressed down by our Fujian cabinet, the Guangdong Federation of Industry and Commerce, will not sit idly by and watch our Fujian rentier."

"Although the stocks of our Fujian cabinet are our Fujian people, we have also absorbed a lot of silver from Cantonese people. I have roughly calculated that there are now 18 million plates in the entire Fujian cabinet, and 8 million of them are held by Cantonese people. If the investment in Jianxia continues to rise, and the Fujian cabinet continues to expand, the Guangdong stock will be as low as the issue price. Don't forget, the emperor is also a Cantonese ........., this Xu Shan described the situation very clearly, which made everyone's hearts even more numb.

Wang Mingle disagreed: "I can't say that, but Qingtian Company has washed back and forth before in Jianxia Investment, and Qingtian Company has not withdrawn, and it is still holding at least 30% of the plate......"

Before he finished speaking, he shut up himself, the stock market has been running for many months, and these old people in the shopping mall have already seen through it. Qingtian Company is the emperor's backstage, the news is particularly well-informed, he is a banker, he can go, and he can go at the highest position, the emperor and the imperial court really have the intention to suppress Jianxia investment and Fujian cabinets, pull up the stocks of Guangdong people, and rely on Qingtian Company to do it.

Xu Shan smiled: "Don't take this trade route too seriously, the emperor said a word, our work is a bamboo basket to draw water." What if the emperor decided to move the trade route from Manila to Canton, or to Hong Kong? ”

Xin'an County has now been renamed Hong Kong County, designated as a trading port for Britain, the Netherlands, France and Portugal, and Canton as a trading port facing the various trust territories. If the emperor had another big game of chess and didn't want Manila to be linked to Spain, their original idea of the Fujian people was simply delusional.

Thinking of the root of this matter, everyone sighed that businessmen are really small and helpless in front of the will of a country.

Wang Mingle was stunned for a moment and asked, "Mr. Xu, what are you thinking?" ”

This question was a little strange, Xu Shan shook his head and said: "Old Wang, don't think too much, this court swallows the world, it is absolutely difficult to resist, I have no other thoughts, just to find a good background for us Fujianese." ”

He lowered his voice, but the words he said shocked everyone's hearts: "Why should everyone's thoughts always be placed on this industry? Fish Head Street stock market, you haven't thought about the future trend, who has the final say? ”

Xu Shanshu said with a smile: "Actually, this is also a constant trend since ancient times, silver...... Silver has the final say in farming, mining, setting up workshops, and developing commerce, all of which are exchanged for silver with people and things. And to make silver money out of money, but to save people and things, what business in the world can be more lucrative than this one? The emperor's stock market is a great bazaar where silver is born. ”

He nodded his head again: "Let go of the old antique ideas, this Yutou Street is the rice field of our Fujian people in the future." ”

After a moment of silence, Wang Mingle sneered: "That...... So how do we ......?"

Without waiting for Xu Shan to speak, he was inspired, and some people had already changed their minds.

"It seems...... We have to learn from the Qingtian company to make a big picture. ”

"The decision of the Buddha Governor is making the Cantonese people clamory, and there are many articles in it, and we have a lot of opportunities."

"Yes, we also have "Min Daily", which can be regarded as a tool of public opinion"

At the end of September of the third year of the Holy Dao, as these merchants reached a consensus in Zhangzhou Yuegang, the situation in Britain and China became even more detached.

At this time, Li Xi was inspecting the government affairs of Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan in Kunming, and in the middle of the year, Yinghua adjusted the local political system under his rule, and the pacification and solicitation envoys of Xing in the past have been abolished in several provinces where the governing power has been stabilized, and the formal local governance structure is being established.

In the early stage, the governor was established, who was the main interface between the central government and the local prefectures. All the soldiers are under the joint management of the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, and the Imperial History of the Provinces belongs to the Metropolitan Inspectorate.

The position of the provincial structure has not been clearly discussed, and the provincial finance has not been clearly settled, so the current provincial-level shelves are all central agencies, and the focus of the work of the provincial governors is still on the government to the countryside and the supervision of officials, and only the provincial planning department is sent to the provincial planning office to supervise finance, and the legal department is sent to the provincial legal department to supervise the judiciary.

Cheng Yingde, governor of Yunnan, Xiang Shanxuan, governor of Guangxi, Yang Junli, governor of Guizhou, Fang Youxin, governor of Hunan, and Ba Xuqi, governor of Guangdong, shouldered the important task of building a communication between the prefecture and the central government.

In addition, in places where the governance is not stable enough, such as Sichuan, Fujian, and Jiangxi, pacification envoys and solicitation envoys are still set up to take charge of government affairs and military affairs. At this time, Dai Siyuan, the pacification envoy of Sichuan, and Long Zhilan, the pacification envoy of Qianxiang specially set up for the affairs of the young people of Qianxiang, also came to Kunming.

Goodbye to Long Zhilan, the NV king of the Yi family who was once the envoy of Luan and escorted him, Li Shi was in a good mood and even asked about Long Zhilan's marriage. The other party pursed his lips and said with a smile that he had been married for ten years, and his nominal husband died early, so he was able to occupy the position of patriarch. Unless the emperor marries himself, the position that the emperor gives himself will be less in the name of calling on the clansmen and even appeasing the young people of the two provinces. ..., Siniang on the side changed when she heard the words, but Li Xian smiled indifferently, he knew the straightforwardness of the NV king, and he also knew her true intentions. However, the fall is intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless. The negative man who took away the heart of the NV Wang Fang was in Luzon, and as soon as the war was over, he couldn't wait to pick up Eleven Xiu.

While laughing, Li Xi sighed, this NV king who is only a young NV, so young N years, he has become a widow, and the person he likes is a lover who concentrates on others, it seems that he will continue to live in widowhood, what a pity...... Tyrannical creatures.

This word is also very appropriate for Zhang Hanwan, who rushed from Sichuan, this guy is still alone, leaving Dawa Yangjin in Lhasa. Li Xian asked in surprise, didn't Luo Mao Demon say that you and Dawa Yangjin are only one step away from worshipping the church, why haven't you crossed this step yet, are you waiting for me to preside over the wedding? Bao Yin has entered the Boundless Palace, washing your suspicions?

Zhang Hanwan said dejectedly, Dawa Yangjin and the seventh ** Kelsang Gyatso are distant cousins and brothers1, and he felt that Taqing directly reached out to Tibet, and he was alone in Lhasa, and it was possible to follow in the footsteps of the previous ** victims, so he must take the Tibetans from Litang to protect him, so he did not follow him back to Sichuan.

Li Xian hated the iron and said loudly: "Why do you need her to come forward in this matter, it is clearly an excuse, I think you are not active enough, you have heard that you still have a war within the year...... Take this NV"

It was like announcing a war incident, which made Zhang Hanwan subconsciously look up, but when he heard such an order, the whole person shrank up again.

Zhang Hanwan muttered in a low voice: "I can't afford the dowry that her family wants......"

Li Shi said angrily: "Dowry? Let his father come to me and talk to me personally."

Zhang Hanwan stared at Siniang, who was covering her mouth and laughing lowly, and said helplessly: "Fourth brother, this is not a state affair......"

He also said in his heart, I'm not the fourth brother, I'll just say you, Guan Xuan is the daughter-in-law who was raised since childhood, Master Sanniang ran away from home by herself, An Niangniang is the old man An's delivery, Zhu Niangniang is the old master Duan's stuffed into the woman, and Xiao Niangniang is ...... It can be regarded as the fourth brother, you raised it. Even the later Princess Baoyin was snatched back by Luo Mao Demon for you, this Xiaohong in front of you is still raised by you since childhood, I'm afraid that the fourth brother you don't know what a dowry is.

However, with Li Shi's words, Zhang Hanwan's waist also stiffened, and he retreated happily.

Siniang was still laughing, and it could be seen that Li Shi picked up an urgent report, and the more she looked at it, the more she frowned, and she suddenly smiled.

After a long time, Li Shi slapped on the bookcase: "When it comes to the dowry, this is a lion who opened his mouth, no, he has already done it"

Siniang didn't dare to ask about government affairs, so she looked at Li Shi worriedly, but she didn't want Li Xi to open her brows again, and she was used to rousing her head, and said coldly: "Someone wants to pass by, join our family, but they think very highly of themselves, and even want to hold the lifeblood of a country, so they do not hesitate to use all kinds of means, it is time for them to put themselves in the right position." ”

Then he laughed, "I've been waiting for them for a long time......."
