A trial actually made Cao Hao die on the spot, the lady of the Hua family went crazy, Cao Zhan was holding his father's corpse in pain, and the Hua Cannon family was pulling his mother's eager shouts, and the officials on both sides could not bear to see this tragedy, so they got the order of Lord Qincha and gently broke the case: In view of the fact that the criminal Cao Hao is dead, the case no longer pursues anyone's criminal responsibility, and the Cao family took out seven hundred taels of silver to compensate the Hua family, and the matter is over, plus the compensation for cutting off the arm of the old man Hua is a total of 1,000 taels of silver, which is also a lot of money, and the Hua family has no heart to continue to pursue it after this blow, thank the eldest lord for his kindness, and go back to Lang Zhong with the crazy woman。

After the Cao family was overthrown, Liu Ziguang did not beat the water dogs, but mercifully allowed the women and children of the Cao family to return to live in the house, except for the grange and real estate and other large amounts of property to fill the official, the soft things in the family were retained, of course, these soft things were also left after the selection of the red shirt group.

Cao Zhan was acquitted and returned home in a daze, but now the slaves in the house stopped ten and stopped seven, and everywhere was in a mess, his mother, grandmother and aunts were panicked and at a loss, the men in the family had not yet been released, and the old man was about to be escorted into Beijing, and after Cao Hao's death, no one in the family could even handle the funeral.

At present, Cao Zhan is the only man in the Cao family, so he has no choice but to act with a strong spirit, and he just wanted to call the scholar Mingyan to help, but he heard that the little scholar had abducted a girl ring and ran away, it was really hot and cold, Cao Zhan gritted his teeth and took the silver, and went out alone to find the coffin shop, incense, candles, paper and horse shops.

The weaving department is a relatively professional yamen, originally only for the palace to buy silk and satin cloth set up by the yamen, and now it has gradually developed into a government-run giant monopoly enterprise, the private weavers in Suzhou and Hangzhou are very seriously squeezed by the Jiangnan weaving, this deformed production system is very unscientific, don't look at the annual sale to the north and south of the river and even overseas silk cloth large amount of amazing, in fact, the profit can not be maximized, because the production and marketing links are held in the hands of some mediocre people, do not know the truth of the long stream, a large number of silk to foreign countries, forced to sell the original Chinese silk as a luxury goods into radish and cabbage prices, resulting in the higher the output, the lower the profit of the status quo, the official with kickbacks, do not care about thoseI know that a strong pressure task is not enough to put rations and subsidies for the craftsmen and households below, resulting in 100,000 craftsmen belonging to Jiangnan weaving in a state of poverty for a long time.

Although Liu Ziguang took a group of technical officials from the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, but interlaced like a mountain, let them manage the Jiangnan weaving, obviously some of the meaning of driving ducks to the shelves, so Liu Ziguang had to re-use the original weaving bureau officials to engage in technology, stay and engage in administration, and drive away the two large factories of the weaving and dyeing bureau and the general weaving bureau as soon as possible, and the fireworks as the secret of the South Factory stationed in the weaving department re-entered the factory to work, and Hua Laohan was also rehired as a technician, in addition to doing their own work, there is also a task to monitor the officials of the weaving department。

Liu Ziguang is not worried that someone will play with him to fight against Cao Yin, he can't kill casually, but the following little foremen are not so lucky, not two days down, there are a few foremen because of sabotage of production, rumors and trouble, and were cut down by Nanchang Fanzi in public, bloody heads hung on the flagpole, who can not be afraid, in the past, they were all killing workers, but now they are changed to killing pipemen, plus the full rations and the original bonus of Lord Qincha, the workers are very motivated, the output has increased very quickly, and the output of one day can catch up with the previous three days.

Suzhou Weaving Bureau with an annual output of 30,000 pieces of silk and satin, Songjiang Weaving Bureau with an annual output of 30 million pieces of cotton cloth, these satin cloths are not only sold to the imperial court throughout the country, but also a considerable part of them are exported from Shanghai to overseas countries.

Shanghai was originally a county subordinate to Songjiang Prefecture, and later because of the Wusong deep-water port, overseas cargo ships were loaded and unloaded here, and the consumption gradually developed into the largest and richest city in the south of the Yangtze River, and the administrative level was also changed from the county to the province, which was not an administrative region, but the name of the supervision area, but Shanghai is only a huge port city, and it is not a prefecture and county, in view of the uniqueness of the city, the imperial court specially gave Shanghai a level of Zhili Dao, and the governor of the province is called the governor grade, and the governor of other provinces is the same as the second-grade officer.

Shanghai has the country's largest city shipping promotion division, the city shipping division is the imperial court to manage overseas trade specialized institutions, from the third year of Hongwu began to open in Guangzhou, Guangdong, Quanzhou, Fujian, Zhejiang Ningbo.

In Guangdong, it is specially set up for the tributary of Annam (Vietnam), Siam (Thailand), Manraka (Malaysia), and Chenla (Cambodia), and in Zhejiang, it is specially set up for the tribute of the present court.

In Fujian, it was specially designed for the Ryukyu tribute. The Shanghai Shipping Division is the latest one, set up 20 years ago, for the world's merchant ships, whether red hair or gold, barbarians or rakshasas, as long as they carry gold and silver with goods, they are welcome guests.

The responsibilities of the Municipal Shipping Division mainly include: 1. According to the goods, personnel on board and the place to be declared, the merchant will give the official certificate (public certificate, public inspection), that is, the sea permit; 2Send men aboard

"Spot checks" to prevent the entrainment of weapons, women, fugitive soldiers, etc.; 3

"Reading the truth" return to the port; (4) The import and export of goods to implement a lottery system, that is, the goods are divided into thick and thin colors, and the government draws a number of copies according to a certain proportion, which is actually a kind of physical form of municipal tax; The goods pumped should be sent to the capital (extraction); 5. Purchase certain goods transported by ship at a specified price (Bomai); 6. After the drawing, extraction, and Bo buying, the remaining goods must still be given to the public according to the standards of the city shipping department before they are allowed to be sold elsewhere.

That is to say, the role of the city shipping department is equivalent to the customs, in addition to collecting customs duties on imported goods, the export of goods also have to charge a certain amount of taxes, in addition to shouldering the responsibility of anti-smuggling, the role is quite significant, the Shanghai shipping department is led by the governor of Shanghai Province, a direct management from the promotion of the five products, there are a number of deputy promotion and officials, just with these people to manage a huge city shipping division is obviously not enough, so in addition to recruit a large number of non-staff personnel, and even under the city shipping department, there is a medium-sized naval anti-smuggling fleet.

Suzhou Weaving Bureau just has 3,000 horses of silk export large single contract is already signed, now out of Cao Yin's case, temporarily delayed, Shanghai side successively a few 600 miles of expedited horses to urge Suzhou and Shanghai The distance between Shanghai is very close, craftsmen are rushing overnight, ready to rush out, as soon as they rush out, they will be loaded to Shanghai.

Plans to rush to Shanghai with this batch of silk and satin also has a special train of the Qincha Lord Liu Ziguang, and the Shanghai Botiju Division is also one of the objects he wants to examine, although this yamen does not have as many people as Jiangnan Weaving, but the annual tax and silver collected are as high as 10 million taels, accounting for a large proportion of the national financial revenue of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Of course, such an important institution must be strictly supervised, and if you loosen your fingers a little, your fingers will be full of white flowers, and according to the intelligence of Nanchang, a low-level official of the Shanghai Bo Division can build a three-entry courtyard in the city, buy an elegant garden in Suzhou, and there are no more than three concubines in the family, all of whom are embarrassed to greet others, and there must be a gentle woman from the country to be considered decent.

According to statistics, the number of foreign cargo ships entering the port every year increases by two or three percent, and the cargo surges even more, but the amount of silver handed over to the household department by the city shipping department is getting less and less day by day, which is very abnormal.

Where did the silver that the city shipping department collected from foreign cargo ships go? Liu Ziguang really wanted to find out, but there was a person who wanted to know more than him, this person was now sitting in Liu Ziguang's carriage, she was Hu Yimin, the big shopkeeper of Rishengchang.

There is no silver in the household department, not everyone knows that Hu Yimin is just one of the few people, even the military salary of the Northern Expedition to the Manchu Qing Dynasty this year was borrowed by the household department from the Rishengchang ticket number.

However, the fat city boss actually handed over less and less silver year by year, which made Hu Da's shopkeeper extremely angry, so he took the opportunity of Liu Ziguang's inspection of Jiangnan to go to Shanghai to investigate the reasons for the reduction of tariffs.

Rishengchang and Zhen Wubo have formed a secret political alliance, for this matter, Liu Ziguang naturally happily promised, with Rishengchang's joining, the investigation will definitely be easier, after all, there are a lot of professional financial personnel, and the martial arts masters are no less than those in Nanchang.

Liu Ziguang's toss in Suzhou must have aroused the alarm in Shanghai, so he decided to come to the golden cicada shell and rush to Shanghai first, when the private interview train of Weifu was still parked on the Suzhou platform, Liu Ziguang and Hu Yimin's carriage had already entered the bustling Shanghai Beach.

After the eldest princess and her entourage came out of the capital, they stopped and stopped, enjoyed the scenery all the way, looked at the humanities Zhenjiang, looked at the Leifeng Pagoda in Changzhou, walked around Tianning Temple, and tasted the local famous snacks and snacks along the way.

The leading eunuch felt that since the princess was out to relax, she might as well take a look at these famous scenic spots, but she didn't know that Zhu Cheng, who was specially going to Zhenwubo, was anxious and wanted to rush to Suzhou as soon as possible, but she was embarrassed to say it and didn't want to live up to the good intentions of the people, so she endured her longing and listened to their arrangements, so this train drove very slowly, and when Liu Ziguang had already hit Shanghai, she was still hanging around Wuxi.
