"Hey, the grain in this city is really not old and young, although there is not much in the official warehouse, but the grain in the city is enough for our four thousand people to eat for half a year!" Yang Jian looked at the account book handed over by You Wenjing and said with a smile.

"General Yang, these are not all, there are still four warehouses in our Chamber of Commerce, and one of them belongs to my You family alone. In the entire Guangxin Mansion, the grain controlled by our Shangrao Chamber of Commerce is no less than 50,000 stones, but half of them have been sold, and 5,000 stones have been expropriated by the imperial court, and the remaining 18,000 stones and 12,000 stones are in the warehouse in the city, and 6,000 stones are still outside the city. In previous years, most of the grain here was sold out in June. Yu Wenjing sat in the living room, but he didn't dare to sit down with his whole body, only sat down half of his buttocks, and bowed down to show respect.

"Hehe, in the past, most of your grain was sold to our Fujian, too, Fujian has always been short of grain, if it weren't for your supply, we would really be easy to stop!" Yang Jian put down the account book and said casually.

"General Yang won the award, that is, our Shangrao Chamber of Commerce does not transport grain to the past, and the offshore fleet of the Metropolitan Governor will also transport grain from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, we just occupy a good geographical advantage, and it is also our blessing to be close to Fuzhou!"

"Okay, there is no need to say much about this, this time your You family has made a great contribution, and you will add the names of your father and son to the merit book, and you will wait to receive the award!" Yang Jian's words were true, and You Wenjing immediately stood up and thanked him.

"Thank you General, the villain thanked the General on behalf of the dog!" Juventus was overjoyed. He had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. Start with making the decision to assist the Mawei Army. Isn't this the moment?

Yang Jian waved his hand: "You don't have to thank me, my Mawei Army wants to be rewarded for meritorious service, and if you have it, you will be punished." The officers and men of the whole army are promoted on the basis of merit, and this time your father and son have contributed a lot to the city, and you have also helped a lot in stabilizing the situation, so it is natural for you to take credit. In fact, it is not others that you should be thankful for, but yourself. Or your ancestors. I heard that the ancestors of your You family had a second-grade member during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and later set up the current family motto for your You family, right? ”

"General Yang also knows, yes, the ancestor Lishan Gong was a waiter of the Ministry of Rites during the Jiajing period, and later set up the current family motto for his descendants after returning to his hometown, which sums up the words benevolence and kindness, benevolence is the body, and goodness is used, and future generations dare not forget!" When Yu Wenjing said this, his face was full of pride.

"Hmm. That's why Ben chose to deliver the letter to you. It is precisely because of the reputation of your You family, although you are a businessman, you are quite principled, and your reputation in Guangxin Mansion is much better than that of other families. The Mawei political magistrate is about to arrive, and the family that was evil in the past will definitely not be able to escape the trial. Ben is about to recommend you to the Governor of Guangxin Prefecture to serve as the prefect of Guangxin Prefecture, and with the assistance of the administrative officer from Fuzhou, it should be able to help govern this place! ”

This time You Wenjing was overjoyed, he really didn't expect that no one in his You family would be an official for several generations, and he would still be able to hold such a high position as the prefect when he came here. "Thank you for the general's cultivation, the little one will definitely serve the general!"

"Not for me, but for the Grand Duke! And you should call yourself a subordinate and not a small one! Yang Jian said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes! Xia Guan understands! ”

The reason why Yang Jian did this was not that he wanted to cultivate his own real power, but because of Geng Jingzhong's instructions, Guangdong Province had already used up almost all the young officials of the Ministry of Political Affairs, even if Fujian could continue to cultivate talents in this area, but it would take time. And to take the territory of Jiangxi, there is indeed not enough manpower, which is supported by the forces that are close to them from the local government, and it is also of great benefit to them to quickly control the locality.

While the two were chatting, a sergeant's voice came from outside the door: "Report!" ”

"Come in, what's the matter?" Yang Jian knew that there was generally no major event, and others would not disturb him when he was deliberating.

"General Yu, Raozhou General Cheng Feng sent someone to send a letter! The person was left outside the door by his subordinates, and this is the letter! As he spoke, he handed over the letter in his hand!

Yang Jian quickly opened the letter and quickly browsed it. "Good! Hahaha, it doesn't take much effort to get here, Raozhou General Cheng Feng took the initiative to surrender to my Mawei Army, let's get another mansion! Hahaha! What about the messenger? Call him in, and I'll ask him!" ”

Soon, a scribe of about thirty years old walked in. "Students, see General Yang!"

"Heh, there are still scholars under General Cheng Feng, that's good! What does General Cheng mean by asking you to deliver this letter? Do you really submit to the Governor? ”

The scribe immediately replied, "That is nature." General Cheng sincerely belongs to the command of the Metropolitan Governor and is willing to serve the Metropolitan Governor. At this time, the Raozhou Mansion was under the control of General Cheng, and General Cheng meant to ask General Yang to send some Mawei troops to Raozhou to help Raozhou defend the city. After all, Raozhou and Fuzhou and Nanchang are handed over, and Fuzhou and Nanchang have imperial army gathered, so the troops in the hands of General Cheng alone are completely insufficient to resist! ”

"How many soldiers and horses are there in Raozhou now?" Yang Jian asked.

"General Hui, there are a total of 3,000 soldiers and horses in Raozhou, and the actual number is 2,652 people, of which more than 600 are naval troops." The scribe replied.

"Hehe, you also have a water army? Not enough for this generation is not too unusual. After all, you are adjacent to Poyang Lake, and the water network is crisscrossed, so it is not surprising that there is a water army. I'll take a look, it's just that this Raozhou border is actually next to Poyang Lake, and there is a section of the Yangtze River, so good! Yang Jianzheng spoke to the messenger, but when he looked carefully at the map, he found that if this Raozhou was truly surrendered, then with its advantage of being adjacent to Poyang Lake and close to the Yangtze River, the Mawei Navy could go deep into the Yangtze River at this time and arrive at Raozhou to garrison. In that case, tens of thousands of Mawei navies will be able to show their skills and will not stay in Fujian to garrison.

Yang Jian didn't wait for the messenger to speak, so he asked again: "I don't know if there are sailors stationed in the imperial court on this Poyang Lake, what is the channel, and there may be a big ship walking?" ”

"Oh, there's no problem with this, although Poyang Lake is not as good as the sea, but it is not a problem for ordinary sea boats to enter the Yangtze River and then enter Poyang Lake. The students have long heard that the Mawei Navy is unparalleled in the world, but they can ask the Metropolitan Governor to send a navy into the Yangtze River, and there is a dock in our Raozhou where naval warships can dock. If there is a Mawei naval cruise and Poyang Lake, then the practice of Nanchang and Yueyang and Wuhan can be cut off, and the tens of thousands of imperial troops in Jiangxi will become a lone army, so that the whole of Jiangxi will be under the control of the metropolitan governor. This messenger is very eloquent, and the head of the analysis is the Tao, and Yang Jian is already very moved.

Fujian's original strategy was to take the four prefectures and one prefecture close to Fujian, so that it could add a layer of insurance to Fujian, and at the same time connect with Wu Sangui, slowly digest it, and then continue to encroach on the remaining other prefectures in Jiangxi. The main reason is that Li Guangdi and others were influenced by Geng Jingzhong, and they must be steady and firm in their efforts to lay a solid foundation without taking a step, but the surrender of Raozhou made Yang Jian's vision more long-term.

"Hahaha, okay, I suddenly found that this is the most beneficial plan for our Mawei Army, so I will write to inform the Metropolitan Governor, asking the Metropolitan Governor to send the Mawei Navy north into the Yangtze River. With the strength of our Mawei Navy, there is still no problem at all in crisscrossing the Yangtze River. When I went back to tell General Sù Cheng, I said that the Metropolitan Governor welcomed him to join our Mawei Army, and that he couldn't run away from the position of a brigade commander when he turned back, and if he continued to make meritorious contributions, he would not be the commander of my Mawei Army. You should have heard of the formation of my Ponytail Army, so I don't need to repeat it. Two days later, General Ben will send a battalion of the vanguard to assist General Cheng in defending the city, hehe, Poyang County and Yugan County on the border with Nanchang will be handed over to my Mawei Army!
