Chapter 11 A Guest Comes from the Sea
Da Ming began to prepare for the news of the change, and Da Qin also learned about it three days later.
Li Luo, this guy is very interesting, one does not restrict Daqin's intelligence system in Daming, and the other restricts the scope of action of intelligence officers but will not arrest them.
This is obviously showing favor to Daqin, and it can also be regarded as a back road he left for himself.
Zhang Hongbin is really interested in this guy who can accept Daqin's thoughts and at the same time be able to learn and apply it. Such a person, whether placed in the intelligence system or in the political system, has a high value. At present, if he serves here, it is inevitable to do a line of loyalty, and it is impossible to work part-time.
Regarding Daming's changes, Zhang Hongbin is actually not very optimistic. After all, even if Li Luo had read a lot of books, none of the core ones had flowed out, so it was still impossible for him to really keep up with Daqin's ideological height. Besides, he also has the unique limitations of people in this era, and his vision is still not broad enough, so whether this change is auspicious or evil, Zhang Hongbin can't give a definite evaluation, but the possibility of the latter is relatively high, right?
After all, the Ming Dynasty was still a feudal era, and the gentry's right to speak was still very strong. Chongzhen's changes will inevitably threaten their interests, and when it comes to their interests, they will rebel, and the result of the rebellion is that the decree may be issued from Beijing, and it will change greatly when it arrives in the locality. Of course, if the steps are right, it is nothing, I am worried that Chongzhen is too anxious, and if he takes three steps and does one step, he will have to wrestle at that time, and he will break his head and bleed.
A qiē, just wait for time to explain.
Zhang Hongbin was really interested in Li Luo, so he sent someone to investigate all his experiences.
So he knew about the so-called 'Four Friends of Whitewater', and then he began to pay attention to the recent situation of the other three friends. The most important thing is to confirm whether these three people have any collusion with Li Luo, and if so, they must be cleared out to save the danger to Daqin.
In fact, the result of the investigation was that the three did not collude with Li Luo at all. But there are still daily contacts, mainly letters. Some of these letters have also been intercepted, and it can be seen from the letters that Li Luo's ideological realm is constantly improving, mainly from the exchanges with these brothers who are actually working in Daqin.
Through the exchange of letters again and again, this guy learned various ideas and ideas from the other three brothers, and then continued to strengthen his thoughts and knowledge. I have to say that this is indeed not simple.
As for the other three, they are also willing to communicate with him out of brotherly love, and they usually abide by their duties, and they don't say anything about confidentiality.
Among the three, Mo Ran is already He Ling's deputy, and I have to say that the speed of this promotion is indeed very fast. However, Daqin's manpower is insufficient, so it is normal to promote some people with good potential below. Mo Dye was promoted, mainly because of his own excellent knowledge, and his personal qualities and personal thoughts were also confirmed to be excellent, so he was promoted. Otherwise, according to the habits of Daming, you have to slowly boil your resume, and I am afraid that it has not yet reached this point if you are less than fifty years old.
Fifty years old, Mo Ran was only in his twenties when he was just admitted, and he had to work hard for thirty years in office to show his ambitions, but I was afraid that the blood and edges and corners would be smoothed out by then, and he would be decent and steady when he started to do things, and it was boring to think about it.
It's really a shame that Daming can tolerate such an official for so long.
Lin Song was originally mixed in the police system, and now he has been transferred to the court system. At this moment, he is already the president of the local intermediate people's court, and it seems that the possibility of promotion is very high. This guy's comprehension of legal knowledge is very thorough, most of them can draw inferences from one another, and the promotion speed of several brothers around him is so fast, he is not willing to lag behind to catch up, making his every step full of motivation.
As for the last Guan Dao, there is already an independent research room in the Central Academy of Sciences, which is referred to as the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Generally, this level is a benefit that only a true academician is qualified to have, in other words, his research ability is indeed extraordinary. I can't say, the successor of Lao Mu in the future may be him. It's just that Guan Dao is studying chemistry, which is completely different from the research field of old wood.
Speaking of which, Zhu Cunyuan seems to have mentioned recently that there is an academician in the Chinese Academy of Sciences who can barely keep up with her in chemistry, and his name seems to be Guan Dao.
Hehe, it seems that a future great chemist is about to be born in Daqin.
After confirming the current situation of the three brothers, Zhang Hongbin just wanted to stop and rest well, but he didn't want Liu Ru to come to report and have guests visit.
This guest is not simple, it is Zheng Zhilong, who was appeased four years ago and became the governor of Tongzhi...... 's second brother Zheng Zhihu. In fact, this Zheng Zhihu came to negotiate with Zhang Hongbin on behalf of Zheng Zhilong this time.
Zhang Hongbin also plans to develop maritime trade in the future, and even go to sea to fight in all directions, so it is still necessary to contact the maritime forces of this era in advance.
Especially next year, the veteran pirate Liu Xiang will die, and Zheng Zhilong will be a well-deserved maritime overlord in East Asia at that time.
In the conference room, Zhang Hongbin walked in very calmly. At this moment, inside, a man who was three big and five thick, and obviously had been influenced by the sea breeze, was sitting inside. Originally, he may have been drinking tea, but when he saw Zhang Hongbin coming in, he immediately got up and saluted.
"Zheng Zhihu, the deputy of the maritime merchant Zheng Zhilong, has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qin." Zheng Zhihu's words sounded very sincere, but his tone was a little disdainful.
Obviously, Zheng Zhihu and even his elder brother Zheng Zhilong did not see Daqin as a country, but as a small local force. As for Zhang Hongbin, the king of Qin, he actually deserves no name at all. It is better to say that he is a king than a local warlord. At least, in terms of style and scale of life, it is not even comparable to his brother Zheng Zhilong.
If this can be regarded as a king, then isn't his brother Zheng Zhilong an emperor?
"You don't need to be polite, just explain your intention!" Since the other party behaved like this, Zhang Hongbin didn't bother to be polite with him.
"Okay, His Royal Highness King Qin is quick to talk, I like this!" Zheng Zhihu was also happy, "Actually, I was instructed by my brother Zheng Zhilong to discuss business with His Royal Highness King Qin." As you know, those glass mirrors and all kinds of luxury goods can't be sold at a good price in China, but they can be sold at sky-high prices in the land of Fanbang outside. Especially in the Wa Kingdom, it was really a mirror past, and half a shipload of gold came back like this......"
"So, Zheng Zhilong wants to pick up the goods from me and sell them to other places?" Zhang Hongbin seemed to understand.
"No, no, my lord he means, we work together. Your excellency helped to deliver the goods to the sea, and our people took over and sold them to the land of Fanbang, and then gave you thirty percent of the money you bought! If you are interested in Fanbang's things, we can also help you buy it back, the price is not high, don't let us lose money. Zheng Zhihu went straight to the point.
"Hmph, your father-in-law thinks so beautifully! We have to take the risk of transporting it by land, and in the end we can only get 30% of the profit! Zhang Hongbin snorted coldly.
"Now that Daqin Bingfeng is pointing out, no one dares to stop him, so no matter where he goes, it is extremely smooth. But our sea route is different, there are a lot of natural disasters and man-made disasters, not only to face the wind and Lang, but also to face the harassment of those red-haired devils, thirty percent of the profit, is the highest return given by my father-in-law. Besides, the profits that can be obtained by sea trade are so large that they are not much more than the price you sell in the mainland, so you don't have to dwell on these small issues, right? "Zheng Zhihu is also aggressive, with a 'I'm not afraid that you won't be fooled' expression.
"However, I don't have much supply, and I have to sell it to various places, and I don't have much for you to trade, I'm really sorry. But I still have a business to do with you, I wonder if you're interested? Zhang Hongbin shook his head and said undoubtedly.
"Your Highness, you have to think carefully, after all, in terms of sea trade, in Daming, you can only rely on our fleet. After this village, there is no such shop, right? Next time, it's not that good for the price. By the way, what business do you have, Your Highness, just tell me about it? Zheng Zhihu's threats and temptations were used, and seeing that Zhang Hongbin's face did not change, he could only retreat.
"It's easy!" Zhang Hongbin smiled, "Slave traders!" ”
