Tianjin Governor Yamen

At this time, Xiao Lanwei, Li Weiming, and Yu Enzheng were sitting opposite each other, and Xiao Lanwei arched his hand, "The matter of Tianjin Port, this king acted arbitrarily, thanks to the two of them who did not care about it and fully cooperated, this king is here to thank the two adults." ”

Li Weiming and Yu Enzheng hurriedly got up to avoid it, and Li Weiming bowed back and said: "Where is the prince, thanks to Your Majesty Longen, this grand event of the dynasty will be set in Tianjin, and we will cooperate with the prince to take care of this matter." It's a shame to say that the old man has been obsessed with the prince for many years, and he thought he still had some ability, but he didn't expect that there was still a hand from the prince. The prince's hand not only did not delay the construction of Tianjin Port, but also solved the urgent need for the imperial court to allocate funds. The prince is extraordinary, and the officials can only respond from the side, just hope that the prince will not dislike it. ”

Xiao Lanwei held Li Weiming's arm with both hands, "Governor Li is modest, and this king is just relying on a momentum." Governor Li is in charge of a province, and there are thousands of things, and everything has to be troubled by Governor Li, so naturally he must focus on being steady and meticulous, but he can't go sideways like me. When I first came to Tianjin, I walked around the streets of Tianjin, and the city of Tianjin was clean and refreshing, the people were rich in goods, and the yamen was quick to deal with things when things happened, all of which were the credit of the governor. ”

Seeing this, Yu Enzheng came out to play a round, "The prince and the governor don't have to be modest, Tianjin can have this situation now, it is inseparable from the prince's determination to forge ahead, and it is inseparable from the governor's calm atmosphere, His Majesty Shengming is dictatorial, knowing that the two are rare talents, he will send two people to work together to deal with major affairs, Tianjin is not the power of one person, Tianjin Port is not the work of one person." ”

The three of them gave in for a while, and Fang went back to business. Xiao Lanwei said: "This bidding, must be done well, now only open one port, the port capacity is limited, those ambitious want to touch everything, it is best to only issue one or two categories of licenses per family, greedy and chewy." In this way, our later management is also convenient, after all, the city has not yet been built, the types of sea trade are too complicated, it is inconvenient to collect taxes, and it is also easy to entrain, in this piece, we must be cautious, after all, Tianjin Port is to better help the people of Liming to sell goods overseas to make more money, can not be used by people with intentions, and take some things controlled by the imperial court to trade. So this piece depends on the two of them. When the time comes, it will trouble the two soldiers to strictly investigate. ”

Li Weiming and Yu Enzheng bowed their hands together, "The prince is polite, it was originally our duty." ”

Xiao Lanwei continued: "In addition, the Commander of the Envoy and the Commander of the Guard originally had their own priorities, and now they have to allocate manpower to assist in the port inventory, so I plan to take out 30% of the port tax silver to subsidize the soldiers of the two divisions. ”

Li Weiming was about to refuse, Xiao Lanwei waved his hand, "They are all people who want to support their families, and besides, this is what they deserve, they should pick two positions on one shoulder, and they should receive an extra salary." I know what you mean, you think that Tianjin Port is short of money, but no matter how short of money, what should be given is still given. ”

Li Weiming wanted to be more humble, but Xiao Lanwei had already made up his mind and didn't want to be entangled, so he quickly turned the conversation around and talked about the opening of the bid.

On the day of the opening of the bid, the school field of the governor's yamen can be said to be crowded, although only ten are taken, but there are almost 100 of them who have this intention.

The King of Joy and others had a noble status, although they were there in person, they did not attend, only arranged tables, chairs and tea on the second floor, and several people sat opposite each other to suppress the field.

The bid opening site was presided over by a person surnamed Zhang, although the official rank is not high, but he is young and capable, and he is the first to speak, and the bid opening matters are very clear and clear, and the follow-up matters of the winning bidder are also arranged clearly.

It took a day of hard work to select these 10 families. The winning bidders include the Xue family of Zhejiang businessmen recommended by Li Weiming and Governor Li, the Tan family of Hui merchants recommended by Yu Enzheng, and the Wang family of local businessmen, and so on. Xiao Lanwei saw that the general trend had been decided, and got up to greet Li Weiming and Yu Enzheng, "Now that the major event has been decided, the next procedures are the Governor Lao's Yamen, and Tongxiang Port, one of the ports under Tianjin Port, I have also been to see it, after this period of overtime and full construction, it will be put into use in almost a month." Then there will be a lot of labor. ”

Li Weiming and Yu Enzheng bowed in return, "The prince is polite." It's not early, and it's been a busy day today, so let's go back and rest first. ”

Xiao Lanwei was not hypocritical, "Since that's the case, then I'll go back first, and the two of you should go home early to rest!" ”

At this time, Mu Qingling had already finished washing, and only sat crookedly on the floor in her bedclothes, with her black waist-length hair draped over her shoulders, which was very moving.

Yunqiao stepped forward and persuaded: "Miss, the hour is not early, otherwise you should go to bed first, you are tired these days, rest early, ah!" You can rest assured about the opening of the bid, there is a prince here, and there is no way to go wrong! ”

Mu Qingling supported her face with her hands, smiled at Yunqiao, looking at the beauty under the lamp, there was a charm, Yunqiao couldn't help but murmur: "Good girl, no wonder those men like beauties so much, it's so good-looking!"

Mu Qingling was completely amused, pointed to Yunqiao and said with a smile: "Who did you learn from every day, such a flamboyant tongue!"

Yunqiao's face flushed, "Everyone has a love for beauty!" Besides, I'm not wrong, Miss is good-looking! I have to say who I learned from, anyway, I follow Miss all day long, and you can watch who I learned from! After speaking, he puffed out his cheeks angrily, which was cute.

"Okay, I won't tease you, don't be angry with Miss Yunqiao!" Although there was a gap in the middle, Mu Qingling did not forget what Yunqiao said just now, and replied in a good voice: "I am not worried about the opening of the bid, I am personally involved in this matter, how this matter is done, I know in my heart, I can't smash it." I just want to wait for the prince to come back. ”

Mu Qingling saw the memories of the past through the dancing candle flame, "I still remember that when I was young, my mother often held me and waited for my father to come back. My father was busy with official business, and he came back late at night, but no matter how late it was, my mother would always wait. I still remember that my mother said that because we are a family, we have to share weal and worn, and she can't help my father share his worries and worries in official affairs, but at least she can leave a candle for his father. ”

Mu Qingling seemed to fall into some kind of memory, the happy time of a family of three seemed to be a matter of the previous life, her mother had been dead for many years, and in a blink of an eye, her father was gone for several years. After the death of her parents, she was busy fighting wits and courage with the Xu family, and she was exhausted.

Now that she thinks about it, it has been a long time since she has guarded her home in such a quiet night, waiting for someone to return, and now, she has a home and Xiao Lanhuan, she wants to guard!

When Xiao Lanwei came back, it was such a picture of a beauty under the lamp, and she was even in a trance for a while. It was Mu Qingling who saw her first and smiled, "Since you're back, what are you doing standing there stupidly, why don't you come over quickly!" ”

Xiao Lanjun came back to her senses at this time, and sat next to each other in the past, looking at Mu Qingling, "Lady, you are so beautiful tonight!" ”

Mu Qingling's face flushed, and she looked away, and saw that Yunqiao was squeezing her eyebrows, now you know who I learned from. Then he stepped back and left the space for the young couple.

Xiao Lanwei held Mu Qingling's hand in her hand and rubbed it gently, "It's good to have you." Then resting his head on the hands of the two of them, Mu Qingling softened her heart for a moment, "These days, you've worked hard!" ”

Xiao Lanwei closed her eyes, "It's not hard, as long as you are there, I will never feel hard." ”

Mu Qingling quietly accompanied Xiao Lanwei like this, and no one was talking for a while. After a while, Xiao Lanling took the initiative to speak and carefully told Mu Qingling about the results of the bid opening, Mu Qingling contributed a lot in this matter, and he was very concerned, so he naturally wanted to tell Mu Qingling about it as soon as possible, so that she could be careful.

Although Mu Qingling said that she was not worried before, she still inevitably breathed a sigh of relief, and now this breath can finally be relieved, "Now it's okay, as long as everything goes well, a month later, the ships of these ten merchants will get out of the water, Tianjin Port will have taxes, and with silver, things will be easier later." ”

Xiao Lanhuan raised up and touched Mu Qingling's jet black and silky hair with one hand, "You've worked hard these days!" ”

Mu Qingling shook her head, "It's not hard, I'm just eating, drinking, and having fun, where can I talk about hard work." The real hard work is the people of the world, these people are hardworking and kind, but sometimes even food and clothing are unsustainable, compared with them, my life is full of fine clothes and food, where can I talk about the word hard work. I only hope that the port of Tianjin will be completed as soon as possible, so that all the people of my dynasty can benefit. ”

Although Tianjin Port is only located in Tianjin, once it is built, it will benefit all parts of the country. Take the silk of Jiangsu and Zhejiang as an example, the silk of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is the best in the world, but there are a number of people in this world, and there are also a number of silk that can be consumed. Once the Tianjin port is completed, a large amount of silk can be transported to the vast overseas land by ship, so that the silk in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in addition to the country, and there is one more sales office, correspondingly, it can also be more silkworm and tree than before, and feed more mulberry pickers, more silk twisters, more textile women, and more embroidery women. The list goes on.

Mu Qingling looked at the man she loved in front of her, the man who had become her husband, gave her a home, and made her extremely trusting, and slowly asked, "If I am just a poor orphan girl, will you still marry me?"

Xiao Lanwei wrinkled her brows and made a thoughtful gesture, and said in a thoughtful manner: "If you don't mention it, I forgot it, I married a mountain of gold and silver!" Why, what are you doing here, is it possible that someone chews his tongue in front of you and says that I married for those things outside my body! That's how wrong I am, do you want me to dissect my mind? ”

Mu Qingling hurriedly covered Xiao Lanling's unobstructed mouth, "Don't talk nonsense, these unlucky words are never allowed to talk nonsense!" I've just been thinking that the wealth accumulated by the Mu family for several lifetimes has actually been in my hands, and it's just a good look on the account books, I never thought about using it to do something, Tianjin and my line, let me feel that I might be able to do something with it, not asking for returns, just asking them to play their due value! ”

Xiao Lanwei blurted out, "You don't want to donate to Tianjin Port, do you?" ”

Mu Qingling's eyes fluttered, "You want to be beautiful!" ”
