Since Xu Yuanzuo can't trust the powerful people on the shore, he naturally won't trust those maritime merchants.

If there is no strong navy, the main controller after the opening of the port will become the maritime merchant, and will it not become a wedding dress for others? Maybe it will also stimulate the imperial court, and send Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou over again to remove the tumor.

Well, I'm afraid it's enough to call in their subordinates.

It's not impossible to borrow a ready-made sailor, but can the person in charge of the sailor, even if he is a relative of Kang Pengzu, guarantee that he is like-minded with the Secret Society?

Moreover, Xu Yuanzuo, Xu Yuanchun, and Kang Pengzu are all scribes, Xu Yuanchun has a natural distrust of military generals, and Xu Yuanzuo doesn't mind cooperating with military generals, as long as he can be trusted. But in that case, Kang Pengzu's position would be awkward.

Unless Kang Pengzu has a high business acumen and can go toe-to-toe with Xu Yuanzuo – that doesn't seem to be the case these days. Or he could achieve fame and help Xu Yuanchun in the court—however, according to the Shanghai County Chronicles and Songjiang Prefecture Chronicles that Xu Yuanzuo had read, there was no Jinshi named Kang Pengzu.

Therefore, in Xu Yuanzuo's view, mixing into the guard and commanding the water division is the stage for Kang Pengzu to show his value. As for whether he has admirals or not, he is secondary, and he can recruit experienced staff to give advice, but the power of making the palm print must be held in his hands.

Kang Pengzu tossed and turned that night, and finally found his father Kang Chengji after sending Xu Yuanzuo away.

Kang Chenghei is true to his name, and the assets of the Kang family in his hands are swelling more and more, which is really full of flowers and cooking oil. And although there is only one son of Kang Pengzu, he has finally completed the task of passing on the ancestry. It is precisely because he is an only son that Kang Pengzu is naturally favored extraordinary.

After listening to his son's explanation, Kang Chengsi groaned slightly, and first said: "You must not tell outsiders about this matter, including the elders of the clan. ”

Kang Pengzu said secretly: Is it really so tight?

Kang Chengsi said again: "Do you know who the real master of Songjiang Mansion is?" ”

Kang Pengzu shook his head slightly.

Kang Chengsi shook his head slightly: "You have such ambitions. But you don't even know the situation. He asked his son to sit beside him and counted carefully: "There are only two counties in Songjiang Prefecture, and there are Tuli under the county." However, now Turi is just a statement on household registration, and the people live together, and they are still talking about towns. ”

Kang Chengsi knows that his son is not grounded, if he doesn't explain these common senses. Inevitably, there will be a joke about the rice on the tree. He said: "Although the officials of the prefecture and county uphold the order of the Son of Heaven, when they arrive in the town, their words are not very effective. However, the powerful family is deeply rooted in the local area, calling for wind and rain below, and our father and son secretly said something to cut off their heads: It is not an exaggeration to say that it is really 'a word'. ”

Kang Pengzu nodded slightly: "So the real masters of Songjiang Mansion are these powerful and wealthy families......"

"It's not these...... It's us! Kang Chengsi said categorically: "The three wealthy families in Shanghai County have our Kang family." The four powerful families in Huating County have their Xu family. ”

Kang Pengzu was faintly excited: "I originally thought that my family had a little floating wealth, but I didn't expect that there would be such roots." ”

"We're seven. There are also divisions. Kang Chengsi said: "For example, the Xu family mainly has rice cloth, raised 3,000 weavers, and did business in the north and south. Our family is to purchase Su and Husheng silk and sell it to seafarers, which has three times the profit. Others, such as the Gu family, bought Japanese goods, Japanese knives, red copper, and Nanyang spices from Japan; The Lu family is in the porcelain business; Zhu, Ni, and Tao are all equally important to the cultivation of goods. The other so-called fifty families in Songjiang, gentry and wealthy households, are just peddlers and pawns. ”

Kang Pengzu listened to his father. can't help but have the ambition to look at the world.

"It stands to reason that we and the Xu family are a match made in heaven." Kang Chengsi said: "We have a foundation but no power. The Xu family is powerful and has no foundation. ”

The Kang family is a middle-level military attaché's family, and the Xu family started from Xu Jie, so they all have congenital shortcomings.

"It's just that what you have to do is not enough to gather the strength of the Kang and Xu families." Kang Chengsi said: "At the very least, the whole government of Songjiang must work together." If the heart is different, the strength is not compatible. It's a bad situation in Fujian and Guangdong. ”

The two pirates who are making trouble now are Zeng Yiyi and Lin Daoqian from Fujian and Guangdong. To put it bluntly, they are not convinced, if someone can really suppress them, such a vast market, where do we need to meet each other? Isn't this a delay in making money and enjoying life!

"Hmm......" Kang Pengzu fell from the clouds. Quite frustrated.

"But I think Xu Yuanzuo is ...... son," Kang Chengsi said: "If you don't listen to what you said about his actions, I'm afraid I still think that he is a young man and is boasting." But since he can start small and have such a grand vision, he will definitely achieve something extraordinary! ”

Kang Pengzu is quite proud, which is also a proof that he is good at choosing friends.

"It's you ......," Kang Chengji couldn't help but worry about his son's future status. He knows very well that people like Xu Yuanzuo are interested in making the best use of things, making the best use of people, and having as much use as they are. On the other hand, if it's useless, and what you can do can be done by others, then they won't look at you squarely.

"It's good that you're not alone!" Kang Chengsi slanted his sword eyebrows and said, "Naturally, my father will pave the way for you." ”

"Thank you, father!" Kang Pengzu is quite proud: it is good to have a good father!

Kang Chengsi said: "You better concentrate on the exam first." On the side of the sailor, the father will naturally operate in secret. If you can be named on the gold list, let's ask for an external appointment, and you will still be in command; If the field is unfavorable, we are already military households, and we can still buy 300 taels and 100 households. ”

Kang Pengzu can indeed spend money, but he won't spend money! The money he spent on **, I'm afraid it's enough to build a few ships! Seeing his father helping, Kang Pengzu breathed a sigh of relief: "Since this is the case, it will be hard for my father." ”

Kang Chengsi smiled: "Idiot, what's so hard about this? Aren't we living in the world just to revitalize our family and glorify our ancestors? It's all a matter of business. You can rest assured, when the Xu family makes a force, your father will definitely be able to pull out a surprise soldier for you. He said calmly: "But you should also pay more attention to serious learning." I heard that you bought a slave maid for 3,000 taels last month, and your mother made up 5,000 taels for you? ”

"Hmmm......"

"Do you have enough money now?" Kang Chengsi's face was full of concern: "If you want to use silver, remember to tell your father, what is your mother's private money for?" ”

Kang Pengzu said: "My son doesn't spend money the most, don't worry, daddy." If it weren't for Yuan Zuo's teacher and a less servant, I wouldn't have made a move. ”

"Friends have the meaning of wealth, don't be stingy. What are eighteen thousand taels of silver? Someone like Xu Yuanzuo can use silver to help out, which is simply taking advantage of others. Kang Chengsi said with a smile.

Kang Pengzu only promised. (To be continued......)
