Chapter 1783 For the Country and the People
The prefectures and counties in Linhai, including Ningbo Prefecture, are the most important grain producing areas in the Jiangnan region, and it is indeed not difficult for Haihan to buy hundreds of thousands of catties of grain here. Moreover, after the Haihan sent a fleet to blockade Hangzhou Bay in the year before last, there was no conflict with the local government, so whether it was official or non-governmental, they would not worry that the purpose of Haihan's purchase of military rations was to make some moves against the local area.
Although the bidding process still has to be taken formally, the He brothers understand very well that since Zhoushan sent someone to send a notice, most of this errand will be handed over to their own hands. As for whether this is Shi Diwen's meaning or the meaning of his subordinates, it doesn't really matter, anyway, after the matter is completed, the He brothers will still take out 10% of their income as a kickback and secretly hand it over to the quartermaster who handles the matter. They don't know and don't want to know how the money will be distributed within the Haihan military, and as a businessman who handles this matter, it doesn't do any good to know too much about such a sensitive matter.
However, this kind of thing is not big or small, and Haihan unabashedly buys military rations on the market, which will definitely be noticed by the ears and eyes of the imperial court. When the news reached the capital, the bigwigs in the court could not help but be suspicious again, speculating about the real intention of Haihan's move.
Although the Ming Dynasty had reached an agreement with Haihan on the normalization of relations between the two countries last year, which can be regarded as the formal establishment of diplomatic relations in the official sense, the Ming Dynasty's fear of Haihan has not been completely eliminated. After all, from the South China Sea to Liaodong, the Haihan Dynasty occupied a lot of places on the coastline of the Ming Dynasty, and after the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, they did not have the slightest intention of returning these places to their original owners. In other words, if Haihan wants to invade Daming from the coast, he basically doesn't need to pick a day, and he can do it at any time.
Considering that Haihan has dragged down Houjin's southward pace for Daming in Liaodong in the past two years, and now he still needs the advanced weapons provided by Haihan to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, so Daming has always swallowed his anger and not cared about Haihan's various bad moves. As long as Haihan does not openly declare war on Daming, then the losses he suffered before will be recognized with his nose, but once there is any trouble on Haihan's side, the court will inevitably worry that Haihan people's ambitions will explode against Daming.
Sure enough, within two days, as soon as the bidding process for the procurement of military rations was completed, hundreds of Jinyi Wei households from Nanjing rushed to Ningbo Mansion and directly found the He brothers' homes to ask whether there would be risks behind Haihan's procurement of military rations.
