"Master Dou, this batch of raw silk is a good product, a fixed price, one hundred and fifty salt. (The text was first published in the Cabinet biquge.info)"

Just as the Zhoushan Squadron made a great deal of trouble in the Zhejiang Sea, the Fubo Fleet, which was the main mobile force of the Zheng Army's naval division at this stage, also turned the world upside down on the long coastal defense line from Yueqing Bay in the north to Jieshi Bay in the south, although it did not bring much casualties to the Qing army, but under the destruction of the landing troops of the Zheng Army, the boundary wall was like a fictitious form, and hundreds of people in the three provinces fled from the Qing army's control area, but what frightened the three provinces of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Guangdong even more was the rise of cross-border smuggling activities.

"One hundred and fifty?" Hearing this, Dou Pingkang drew a few strokes on the abacus. "It's not expensive, it's just"

Hearing that Dou Pingkang intended to bargain, the businessman here immediately begged each other: "Master Dou, it's not easy to go down like this, there are more than a dozen checkpoints to be played along the way, and I ask Master Dou to raise your hand." ”

"Huang Chaofeng, it is true that the hard work along the way is true, and it is true that you need to take care of it." Dou Pingkang looked at each other with a smile. "But what is the price of raw silk in Fuzhou City now, and the price of salt is geometric, how much profit is there back and forth, don't you think we really don't know anything?" The other party's face was stunned, and seeing this, Dou Pingkang was not surprised, but simply returned the price. "One hundred and thirty citations."

"That's a lot of killing." Huang Chaofeng's face was like dirt. "At this price, this trip is at most capital preservation."

Dou Pingkang said unmoved: "Preserve the capital? Even if it's to save the capital, it's better than being stuck in the warehouse and getting moldy. ”

"Master Dou, if you do business like you, then what will other families eat." Huang Chaofeng said with a slight threat in his words. "If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be willing to risk coming to this place anytime soon."

"The Huang Dynasty has a big business, and it is normal to look down on this little profit, but the Huang family doesn't want to do it, so naturally someone is willing to do it." Dou Pingkang didn't eat this set at all. "As for the profits, I have a water slip here, and there is a business marked with profits, I'm afraid that Huang Chaofeng won't be able to make this money."

Huang Chaofeng took over the water sheet and looked at it, the highest price is naturally copper, iron, lead and zinc and other metals and ores, followed by horses and cotton cloth, etc., rhubarb, raw silk, tea, porcelain and other export bulk goods are only ranked in the middle of the stream, and the rest such as lacquer, tung oil, indigo and so on 100 items also have their own price codes, what makes Huang Chaofeng's eyelids jump is that in addition to using salt, sugar, gold, and silver to exchange for domestic goods, the Ming and Zheng sides also sold a limited amount of crude sulfur urgently needed by the Qing court.

Huang Chaofeng put the water slip into his sleeve: "Master Dou, one yard is one yard, the future business is the future business, but you have to spare me a little bit of this batch of raw silk today, otherwise I really can't explain when I go back." ”

Dou Pingkang was also afraid of being forced to flee such a big supplier as the Huang family in Quanzhou, so after a short period of thought, he gave a reserve price: "Okay, the so-called once raw and two ripe, seeing that everyone is not the first time to trade, I will take a step back, in this way, one hundred and thirty-five leads, if Huang Chaofeng thinks it is not suitable, you can pull it back."

"The old minister knocks to the Lord." The advent of smuggling and the temporary release of the Zheng army in the waters west of Jieshi Bay also allowed the Hanliu to regain contact with Dongning, and even Chen Shenwu, who had been behind enemy lines for many years, finally had the opportunity to return to Dongning.

"Chen Qing's hair is gray." Zheng Kezhang personally helped Chen Shenwu, who was kneeling, and said with feeling. "It's been a lot of hard work." After that, Zheng Kezhang didn't give Chen Shenwu a chance to be humble, and reached out to take a medal and hang it on Chen Shenwu's chest. "Qing fights wits and courage with Tartars and traitors, and this Wutao Jiazhang is well deserved."

"Minister, minister!" Chen Shenwu made a gesture of gratitude.

Zheng Kezhang knew that this was just an appearance, so he changed his tone and greeted him as a relative: "Don't say anything, I have been homesick for many years after leaving home, Qing should go home first to have a look, and in a few days, Lone and his wife will invite the fourth brother to eat and drink together."

Chen Shenwu naturally couldn't be as idle as Zheng Kezhang said, but he reunited with his family for two days, and on the third day, he went to the staff department to report on his work. The so-called debriefing is to give a general report on the development of the Han Dynasty in Guangdong, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangxi, and Hunan provinces. Of course, Han Liu is not Chen Shenwu alone, and the staff department naturally has to send people to infiltrate the mainland to receive these units one by one, but due to the strict implementation of the road introduction system by the Qing court, the process of receiving will be quite long, and Chen Shenwu's cooperation is naturally indispensable during the period.

In return for Chen Shenwu's surrender of Hanliu, Zheng Kezhang ordered Chen Shenwu to be canonized as Pinglubo and added him to the post of deputy military officer. However, Chen Shenwu's addition of officials to the Jue further touched Hong Lei's hidden worries, so he complained in the name of illness after the year, although Zheng Kezhang repeatedly dismissed, but Hong Lei still automatically disappeared from the stage of Ming Zheng's politics, of course, this qiē is still a later story for the time being.

"Fourth brother." Zheng Kezhang is a talker, and after canonizing Chen Shenwu's title, he invited him to Anping City for a banquet, Chen Xianqiao personally accompanied, and the guests and hosts were naturally happy, but after three rounds of wine and five flavors, the right words came. "The fourth brother is inland, except for the Han Liusu Department, can he have any contact with the rest of the anti-Qing forces?"

"The ministers and subordinates have had a lot of contact with the Bagua Sect, the remnants of Wu Sangui, the remnants of the Thirteen Families in Eastern Sichuan, and the remnants of the Yongli Emperor, and Zhu Qi, the king of Yiyang, who was sent by the lord to send an order to contact last time, is also among them." Of course, Chen Shenwu knew Zheng Kezang's intentions, so he replied 1510. "These people are unanimous in their opposition to the Qing Dynasty, but there are many fights between each other or for old grudges or for whose family is the right one, and they tear each other down, which can be described as a plate of scattered sand, and it is very difficult to gather."

Zheng Kezhang was obviously a little disappointed: "Then there is no possibility of using it at all?" ”

"Not really." Chen Shenwu thought about it and responded cautiously. "If this domain raises troops in the southeast, these people may be able to echo in the inland and involve part of the Qing army, but if they are allowed to grow, I am afraid it will be the situation of the Southern Ming Dynasty."

"That's the price of necessity." This is the question of who will be the fisherman, but now that the rule of the Qing court on the mainland is becoming more and more stable, Ming Zheng has to be the first bird to shake this situation. "As long as they can contain part of the Qing army, as long as they can make the Qing court financially difficult, it will be beneficial to the clan to help them succeed."

"The lord's meaning is understood, and after returning to Guangli, the minister will immediately make arrangements."

"There's one more thing that has to be done now." Zheng Kezhang whispered a few words in Chen Shenwu's ear, only to see Chen Shenwu's gaze condensed, and then looked at Zheng Kezang with an incredible look, but Zheng Kezhang just raised his glass. "Whether or not this piece is going to be used sooner rather than later, it's not too late."

Chen Shenwu understood the trick, and immediately swore an oath: "The minister understands, and the minister must make proper arrangements." ”

"That's very good." Zheng Kezhang nodded with satisfaction, his eyes fell on the face of the young woman on the side, and he suddenly smiled. "I'm lonely, this is a family banquet, what are you doing with so many official things, come, fourth brother, and drink this cup first, you can get drunk today"

Faced with the blockade of the Zheng army's naval division, Shi Lin, the governor of Zhejiang Province, Dong Guoxing, the governor of Fujian, Wu Xingzuo, the governor of Liangguang, and the newly ordered general Yabu jointly proposed to the Qing court to rebuild the naval divisions of the three provinces to deal with the oppression of the aggressive Zheng army. However, after the recitals of the three Xinjiang ministers were handed to Beijing, they were like a stone in the sea, but there were voices of dissatisfaction in the palace that the negotiations between Yabu and the Dutch were fruitless, so that the governors of the three provinces, who were all human beings, finally understood that Kangxi had decided to abandon Taiwan and protect the sea.

On September 24, the 27th year of Kangxi's reign, the Qing court issued an edict to set up a shipyard subordinate to the flag camp in Tianjin, employing Macao Portuguese and some missionaries in Beijing as technicians to build a large soft-sail plywood ship that could restrain the Dongning gunboats.

In order to set up this Qiying shipyard, the Qing court successively allocated nearly 500,000 taels of start-up silver, and at the same time summoned nearly 1,000 shipwrights and shipwrights from the five coastal provinces of Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Sulu, as well as 1,500 miscellaneous servants and laborers to serve it, which was unprecedented in scale. In order to protect this shipyard, in addition to the troops of Tianjin Town, Kangxi also dispatched 1,000 people from the Xiao Cavalry Battalion (Horse Armor) and Infantry Army Battalion (Infantry Armor) in the Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade to garrison it, which can be described as a strong defense.

However, it will take time for craftsmen from all over the country to go north, and the launch of soft sail plywood ships is far away, but the three provinces of Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong have been unable to hold on in the face of the attack of Zheng Jun's sailors, so the three provinces of Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong have built forts in Hangzhou, Ningbo, Taizhou, Wenzhou, Fuzhou, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other coastal cities that can go up the river, and set up heavy cannons for the purpose of guarding the mouth.

However, whether it is the construction of forts, the configuration of cannons, or the production of inland river vessels, it requires a huge amount of expenses, because Guangdong still has a sum of money from the sale of Qiongzhou's "commons" to support, but the two provinces of Fujian and Zhejiang, which are financially struggling, can only rely on the appropriation of the Qing court's household department, but under the condition of first ensuring the needs of the northern expedition, the Qing household department is eager to turn a penny into two pennies and then use it again, and even Xi'an, Fengxiang and other places have not been compensated for the famine, but only with all the money and grain of the whole year, how can they agree to meet the gluttony of the two provinces? The ball was kicked back to the place by Mingzhu and Suo Etu after a while.

The self-reliant feudal divisions of the two provinces were worried about this, but the people of the two provinces who had been trapped by the closure and relocation of the sea could no longer be harsh, so Zhejiang launched the "flower donation", which naturally aroused the unanimous opposition of the defenders, and the lawsuit went all the way to Beijing, but although Tang Zongyao, the political envoy of Zhejiang, was removed from his post and investigated, the "flower donation" was not canceled in the end, and since then, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Fujian and other provinces have also followed the same example, and the "flower donation" taken from the blood and tears of prostitutes Eventually, it spread throughout the country and became a new "economic growth point" for the Qing court.
