When the large fleet of ships in Hangzhou City arrived, the coal sea base in Ha Long Bay became a sea of joy!

The sound of joy frightened the nearby seagulls into screaming "ah, ah", and they did not dare to fall for a long time.

Can you not be happy?

The Hangzhou Business Group, the Suzhou Business Group and the Nanjing Business Group jointly funded and established the Chuangshi Coal Co., Ltd. according to the shares of 4:3:3, and the executive chairman is Guo Beyu.

Guo Beyu, the head of the group, in a secret letter before, persuaded the people of the Hangzhou business group in a few words, first, the development speed of digging and selling is not good at all, and the second is that the human and financial resources are almost exhausted, if you borrow the power of the Hantang Group, I have concerns, you know, they are too large, far less credible than the merchants who deal with too many teenagers-

This kind of business negotiation is the easiest to negotiate, both sides have a book room that can enter the sea, crackling a burst of abacus, how many materials to come up with, and how many horse tickets or silver taels to invest, the calculation is clear, even the discount of silver taels and horse tickets is not different.

They didn't use the Hantang Group-style account book, they thought the words were too small and crowded, tired of their eyes, and they were still comfortable looking at the fly-headed small letters written with a brush.

The head of Guo Beyu has a delicate white copper abacus, much like a white gold one, but it is not, not even a silver one.

His way of settling accounts is slow and steady, and by no means as exaggerated as Mr. Bookkeeper.

The shares of the Hangzhou business group in this alliance seem to have declined, but the overall profit has increased several times, which may be the win-win situation that Hantang Group said, in fact, for thousands of years, where will the big businessmen not be? I didn't have a chance before.

Chairman Guo Beyu's behavior was sneaky, saying that it was a trade secret, while the Hantang Group generously published the cooperation with the Zhengjia Group in the newspaper of the "Hantang Financial Times" to mine coal.

Afterwards, Chairman Guo Beyu was trembling with the newspaper, this is angry, I just invested so much, and you took out another big mine!

Later, the technician told him that these were two different coals, mainly coking and gas, and that there was no stake between them, and he returned to normal.

But he also has a sense of unease, which may be innate, and the only way now is to transport coal quickly.

He asked people to go to Sanya and Haikou terminals and rented large areas of space to serve as coal transportation turnover terminals, which saved the time of intermediate transportation.

However, their own coal terminal has become a bottleneck, which is easy to do, and other merchant groups have brought some wharf components when they come, and they are stepping up construction and will soon be solved.

They began to run short of manpower, such as the basic labor to shovel coal.

This is also easy to do, go to Hongji County to recruit.

As mentioned earlier, an open war between the Truong and Nguyen regimes finally broke out in 1627, and as a result, Annam was strongly divided into north and south, with the Truong controlling most of the north and Nguyen dividing most of the south, and the dividing line between the two sides was on the Trung River in Quang Binh province.

This border is very close to the 17th parallel of north latitude.

Compared to the Truong regime, which ruled a much more densely populated territory, the Nguyen also had some advantages.

First of all, they are on the defensive.

Second, the Nguyen benefited from their contacts with the Europeans, especially the Portuguese, and were able to acquire more advanced European armaments and hire European military experts for the defense of the city.

Thirdly, the geographical situation was favorable to them: a large organized army was suitable only for the plains and wilderness, and such sites were scarce in the south of Annam; Their mountains were almost squeezed into the sea.

The Nguyen clan built two main fort lines here, spanning several square kilometers of flat land between the mountains and the sea, with the city walls erected near Dong Hai city in the north of Hue.

The Nguyen clan resisted numerous attacks by the Truong clan on this line, and the Truong clan also recruited 100,000 soldiers, 500 war elephants, and 500 warships to fight against these walls.

The first attack on Nguyen's wall defenses was unsuccessful, and the attack continued for several years.

Later, both sides began to buy weapons from the Hantang group, and the war began to be cruel!

The Zheng clan can collapse the Nguyen city wall, and the Nguyen clan can also condescendingly shoot more Zheng soldiers!

It is often under the guise that there is no gunpowder on both sides - they also have their own gunpowder, but the effect is not as good as that sold by the Hantang Group!

So at this time, it fell into low-intensity friction again, waiting for the next big war.

At this time, whether Annan is in the south or in the north, it still uses Chinese characters, and it also speaks Da Ming dialect, and even the official system and official uniform are the same!

Hongji County's name is Zheng Ke, he was originally a staff member of Zheng Zheng, the head of the Zheng family, who can speak well and be wise, but he is also a little greedy for money - because of the entanglement with his colleagues, he was kicked by Zheng Zheng, the head of the Zheng family, to the place where the rabbit does not, that is, Hongji County in Quang Ninh Province to reflect on! Don't look at what time it is!!

This time is indeed a critical period for the Zheng clan in the north-

Relying on the weapons of the Han and Tang groups that they had purchased many times, the Nguyen clan launched their own invasion of northern Annam in 1653.

Along the way, the Nguyen army marched north, defeated the Trung army, annexed Quang Binh Province, and more terrifyingly, Ha Tinh Province also fell to the Nguyen army.

At the beginning of 1654, the head of the Trung family, Truong Jie, died as the Nguyen army invaded Nghe An province.

Under the leadership of the new head of the Zheng family, the eloquent Zheng Zheng, the Zheng army launched an offensive and defeated the Nguyen army.

In fact, they all took out the gold from their families to buy weapons from the Hantang Group.

When Zheng Ke was extremely bored in Hongji County, he heard that someone from a Hangzhou merchant group had come to rent a piece of seaside land.

Although this place is more than a hundred miles away from there, when I inquire, it is a place where there is no grass, just right, let them go to the wasteland and farm, or fish, and then collect a tax and silver, let them do it first-

After a while, they actually came here to recruit workers!

This is a good thing, it is beneficial to the people, I heard that the salary given is quite high, and the money can buy eight catties of rice a day!

My god, if it were folded into a day's necessities, a family of three would be able to eat enough!

Then, the other party must earn more!

He couldn't sit still.

At this time, the war with the southern Ruan rebellion was in full swing, and the various taxes were overwhelmed, although he was a fifth-class county town, but it was too remote - except for the fierce people, there was nothing else-

When he saw that the earners came back with rice on their backs, and later they only needed tickets, he couldn't hold his breath at all.

What is a Horse Ticket? He was arguing with his colleagues over a thousand horse tickets at that time!

Horse tickets can buy everything!

But not everything can be exchanged for a horse ticket - the best fish and dry goods, Hantang Group does not buy them!

At that time, he took a few errand officers and sat in a small sedan chair to take a look.

He was shocked when he saw it! It's been less than two months, right?! There is actually a county town here!

I saw rows of tents, rows of wooden houses, and rows of brick houses, lined up one after another, in an orderly manner!

Hongji County ordered Zheng Ke to tidy up his official robe and walked to the huge door.

He knew that it was surrounded by barbed wire, which was in the Zheng army, and there were also in the army of Ruan Rebellion.

He saw a strangely dressed soldier at the gate, and the hat was a colorful turban, which was tied around his head, and the back was covered by his neck.

He was holding a strange gun, it wasn't a flintlock pistol, and he didn't know what was hanging on it, but he knew it with sunglasses on his eyes.

Zheng Zheng, the head of the Zheng family, has one, and it is said that he is not afraid of the sun!

Behind the soldier was a tall bamboo tower, and on top of it were two people in the same costume, holding large pipes that I don't know what they were.

Could it be that they are the An He team members of the Hantang Group?

Hongji County ordered Zheng Ke to walk in front of the soldier with his hands behind his back, and said, "Are you waiting for the security team of the Hantang Group?" ”

The soldier shook his head and said, "I'm from the Tianluo Security Company - you're the county commander here?" ”

Hongji County Ling Zheng Ke frowned, he was not happy that this soldier did not add the word adult.

When he heard that they were not from the security team of the Hantang Group, his small waist straightened up and said, "I want to see your master's family, make such a big noise, and I won't report the county order!" ”

He met the owner of the place, who claimed to be Guo Beyu, chairman of the Chuangshi Coal Joint Stock Company.

Hongji County Commander Zheng Ke frowned, but still said again: "Make such a big noise, and don't report the county order!" ”

To tell the truth, Chairman Guo Beyu's eyes were dizzy when he saw the official uniform on his body, and he hadn't seen this kind of official uniform for many years - countless past events came to his mind for a while.

Zheng Ke, the commander of Hongji County, felt that his frowning official had frightened him, and he wrinkled even harder, and said: "Make such a big noise, and don't report the county order!" ”

Chairman Guo Beyu is sober, look at it, the way he talks and does things is so familiar!

He also seemed to have returned to the past, he arched his hand and said: "The county commander, rest assured, the tax that should be paid is not bad under the horse, the lease is the lease of land, the operation is the operation, when it comes to the horizon, it is also two different things, and it is definitely a law-abiding person under it!" ”

Hongji County Commander Zheng Ke was really comfortable hearing this, as long as you know how to obey the law - but I didn't come here to simply ask for taxes, he only frowned half of his eyebrows this time, and said again: "To make such a big noise, you should first report the county order-"

The content of the speech is the same, but the tone is different, how can Chairman Guo Beyu not hear it?!

He smiled faintly and said, "The county commander has every opportunity, this summer's ice respect, winter's charcoal respect, and birthday's farewell respect, there will be no less——"

Hongji County ordered Zheng Ke to put his mind at ease at this time, this old boy is very good.

He immediately asked, "How much is this Bingjing?" How much is Tanjing? How much is it to be disrespectful?! ”

Chairman Guo Beyu is also happy, this guy hasn't seen many horse tickets!

He also put his hands behind his back, and straightened up his waist, and said, "How much does the adult want?" ”

This time, Zheng Ke, the commander of Hongji County, was asked, he just wanted some along the way, but he heard that it was given every year, and he couldn't speak for a while, so he wasn't ready at all!

Hongji County Ling Zheng Ke is also old and sophisticated, and he was in a hurry just now, but he fell behind!

Asking for bribes is a serious knowledge, and if it is more than a joke, if they are scared away, won't they work hard in vain? If you want to be less, you are also laughing and talking, and you will suffer a loss!

Thanks to the support of old friends Yezhongye, Golden Alliance Leader Guozhiyin, Alliance Leader Shen Leng Wu, cmd19764, Xiao Xiang, Ling Buxu, Xiaoguo Rice Wine, and Everyday Free Bird.

The top 10 of the monthly ticket list is hopeless, and keeping the top 20 has become a pursuit.
