Today's Quanzhou has some appearance, here is the world's largest port, full of thousands of businessmen, after Shen Ao there and the news of the envoys of various countries came out, all walks of life are more prosperous. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Great Song Dynasty really stationed troops in various countries, which means that the risk of going to sea has been minimized, and there is less need to deal with the Fanren.

In the past, the maritime merchants were some bold roles, now with this convenience, many people have seen the business opportunities, and are willing to join in, there are more customized ships, the dock here in Quanzhou is working day and night, and it can't be finished for a while, in a few small ports nearby, the docks like bamboo shoots have also been built, and now the demand for sea ships is too great, whether it is the maritime merchants who are in urgent need of expansion, or some ordinary merchants who intend to go to sea, they are willing to buy ships with silver, and the bigger the better.

People are seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, once ran to the sea, that is to fight with their lives, once they encounter pirates or vicious fans, that is the blood of nothing, maybe even their lives have to be put in, now there is no danger, the profits are huge, it is easy to deal with, everyone is willing to eat a piece of the pie.

In addition to this, porters and sailors are also in short supply, and in the past, when recruiting sailors, they were all as good as possible, and they didn't want raw hands. But now it's different, in this Quanzhou, I still want to recruit skilled people, that's not even if I can pick a few occasionally, the price is also expensive.

After all, to be a tenant in the countryside, it is better to run a boat, at least to earn a full meal, and a few spare money in your hands. On the side of the Quanzhou City Gate Division, there are cards to count the outsiders, and there are roughly 4,000 people pouring in every year, which is really jaw-dropping.

No one can farm the land, but the transshipment department has come up with a solution, that is, to issue an official document, but all the sea ships that run back from the Nanyang and the Japanese country, if they load half of the grain in the cargo, they can be tax-free and half, in doing so, it is to increase the import of grain, so many laborers in the vicinity rush from the land to the sea, no one farms, the grain yield is not high, if there is really a famine, then it will be over. Shen Ao's side is also taking precautions, and the land in Nanyang is fertile, and the grain production of all countries is not low, and he always has to import some physical goods to the Great Song Dynasty with silk and porcelain in exchange for a lot of silver, anyway, a horse of silk can be exchanged for more than a dozen loads of grain, and it is more profitable than growing grain by himself.

If a large number of cargo ships want to go to sea, there will be a huge amount of cargo support, and if there is not enough cargo, will it be shipped out empty? Here in Quanzhou, porcelain kilns are everywhere, the clay is transported from all over the country, labor is also very scarce, and there are important people everywhere.

Ma Yinglong, the prefect of Quanzhou, ran to Shen Ao's side early in the morning to complain, this Ma Yinglong had a little to do with them when the four surnames were still in the past, and then Shen Ao slaughtered the four surnames, Ma Yinglong was panicked, who knew that Shen Ao was not interested in paying attention to this small fish and shrimp at all, if he really wanted to kill, where was 1,700 enough? When it comes to Ma Yinglong's head, it will take at least 17,000 to stop. (Please log in to read this chapter on your mobile phone)

Ma Yinglong dodged a section, his heart was so dangerous, at this time he also knew who was the main master, for fear that Shen Ao would worry about him when he would think about him, so he had enough strength to do the new policy on the Quanzhou side, and he didn't dare to slack off at all, things were not done properly enough, and he couldn't even sleep well.

Now there is a shortage of people everywhere in Quanzhou, although there are a large number of laborers and tenants pouring in, but it is still not enough, the prefect yamen is also in a hurry, and the businessmen see Ma Yinglong's weakness, so they specially invited some famous squires to come forward to talk to Ma Yinglong.

Ma Yinglong can't change seventy-two, where can he change people, so he has to discuss with Shen Ao.

When he arrived at the yamen of the transfer department, he asked someone to pass it on, and the captain outside told him to go in, and when he entered the main hall, Shen Ao was already waiting there, and when he was still polite, he invited him to sit down, and let people serve tea. Ma Yinglong knew that he had had the effect of being saddled before and after the horse in the past few months, and the prince of the county had already understood Shen Ao's psychology in his eyes, so he didn't say polite words, and said bluntly: "Lord Wang, it's right that all industries are prosperous in Quanzhou, someone needs to recruit people to build a ship, a shipbuilder needs wood, a logging side also needs manpower, a logsmith needs tools, and the blacksmith side also needs manpower, the blacksmith side wants pig iron, and there are a few in Quanzhou, but to open a mine, it still needs manpower." Not to mention the sailors and porters, as well as merchants from all over the world will also gather, the inn and wine shop here is also overcrowded, and new inns are also being built, but civil engineering still needs manpower, labor, masons, bricklayers, blacksmiths, sailors are short of people, this is a big hole, how much to fill in is not enough, usually Quanzhou is afraid that there are more displaced people, nuisance to the place, but now it is not begging. Lord Wang, look at it, what should you do now? ”

Shen Ao also smiled bitterly, but said, "What can this king do?" There is a shortage of people on your side, and there is also a shortage of people to recruit sailors on this king's side, so there is really no way but to go to Guangnan East Road to recruit. ”

Ma Yinglong just sighed and said: "It's really embarrassing to go on like this, and the officials can only do their best to see if Zhangzhou and Fuzhou can be accommodating and help the foil." ”

After saying that, he was about to say goodbye, but Shen Ao stopped him: "This king still has something to explain." ”

Ma Yinglong leaned over and sat down again: "What else does the prince command?" ”

Shen Ao said: "The countries have cut out seventeen ports, and these seventeen ports, of course the imperial court has to allocate a little silver to build them, but the money that can be taken out is only so much, it is definitely not enough." This king plans to sell the land at the wharf in advance, and the price is 500 yuan, let them bid with each other, and sell the land of 300 warehouses in a port, and there must be more on the Wa side, sell 3,000 pieces, and the price can be lower. ”

Ma Yinglong was dumbfounded, before he could skim these eight characters, the king of Penglai County was thinking about some money? It's a shame that he came up with this idea.

Ma Yinglong doesn't know if he is sure about this matter, after all, businessmen are shrewd, and they must believe that seeing is believing, and if they put an empty bubble out, people will be willing to pay?

However, Ma Yinglong still responded, returned to the prefect's yamen, and immediately asked someone to release the news, who knew that the news had only been released for a day, and the merchants had stepped through the threshold of the prefect's yamen. For example, here in Quanzhou, a warehouse with a better location has at least 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, but if you don't do business, you can rent it to others, and you can collect 20 yuan a day, and you can collect rent from the ground, and it is also thousands of yuan a year.

The fleet of ships going to sea in the Great Song Dynasty is snowballing bigger and bigger, and in the future, it will be direct trade with these ports, and the price of the warehouse will definitely rise day by day.

Nearly 7,000 warehouses, a ** businessman to raise the price to subscribe, some good lots, has been bid to 7,000 yuan, remote ones, one or two thousand yuan will definitely be able to find buyers. In addition to the price of the Wa Kingdom, the land was snapped up in only three days, and some wealthy businessmen from Fuzhou, Zhangzhou and other places heard the news, but they pounced on it and had to go away.

Ma Yinglong's dozens of account rooms on this side dialed the abacus day and night, and finally came up with a number, a full 30 million yuan, Ma Yinglong was still drinking tea when he heard this number, and when the account room reported the number, a mouthful of tea immediately squirted out, and his eyes widened and exclaimed: "So many?" ”

The bookkeeper smiled bitterly: "I have verified it three times, and there is indeed nothing wrong." ”

With this money, coupled with Shen Ao's request for the imperial court to allocate 20 million guan, the infrastructure of various ports has been settled, and now there is no hurry to build the scale too big, and there will be more people in the future, and it will be the same if it expands, anyway, the land is left there, and the people are not allowed to enter the territory of the Governor's Mansion without authorization.

The sea route is clarified, Shen Ao directly went to the sparse, that is, to appoint officials to the imperial court, as well as to transfer sergeants, the Nanyang Navy Division, the recruitment is still expanding, Fujian Road here really can't find a suitable young man, so go to Guangnan Road to recruit, it is expected to come to the Nanyang side, the number of sailors should be around 50,000, at least 3,000 boats.

It's just that he can only come step by step at the moment, Shen Ao can't wait anymore, fortunately, the henchmen here in Quanzhou are almost installed, as long as he keeps an eye on Bianjing, he is not afraid of people going to tea. In the middle of May, a letter of will came quickly, Shen Ao received the holy decree, and immediately summoned the officials in Quanzhou, looking at these officials who were tossed to death by themselves, as well as the officials who were promoted by themselves, Shen Ao sighed and said: "It is fate that this king and you can gather here today." It's a pity that people have life and death parting, the palace over there, has urged the king to return to Beijing several times, and now this Quanzhou is roughly on track, and the rest, your nephew Xiao Gui Cao will follow, and in a few days, the king will leave to return to Beijing. ”

When the news came out, the big and small officials were all reluctant: "Lord, you can't go, if you leave, no one here in Quanzhou will make up your mind, and we will be like a sergeant who has lost his general, and the six gods have no master, how can I be good?" ”

So everyone lamented together, trying their best to wipe the old tears, and a few, such as Ma Yinglong's constant sobbing, almost couldn't lift it in one breath and fainted.

Shen Ao saw this situation, he was very moved, he couldn't imagine that he was an official for one term, and there were people who were willing to keep him like this, how could he be ruthless, not to mention that no matter where he used to be, he was disliked by everyone, and today he saw Quanzhou one by one, so he couldn't help but say: "Since you say this, this king is reluctant to let you ......" He choked up and continued: "It's better for this king to delay for another year and a half, continue to work with the princes here, and do a good job." ”

As soon as the words came out, everyone stopped crying, wiped their tears, Lord Wang, are you kidding, a year and a half? Do you still let people live?

Ma Yinglong gritted his teeth, and almost cried blood: "What kind of identity is the prince, how can he condescend to live in this Quanzhou?" The court is inseparable from the prince for a day, and the prince returns to Beijing, although we are reluctant, how can we make the temple less of a pillar supporting the sky because of this? Lord, by all means. ”

"Yes, yes, the prince, the matter has come to this, and we must say goodbye, Your Majesty is looking forward to the prince's return to Beijing day and night, how dare we stop it? As long as the prince is still thinking about us in the capital, the lower officials will be grateful. ”

"The prince must not be emotional, if he has a holy decree, how can he refuse, leave as soon as possible, and it is his duty to go back to his life."

…………

Shen Ao's face was a little ugly, as soon as these people's attitudes changed, they immediately knew that something was not right, pinched a tear under his eyes with his fingers, and scolded in his heart: "It turned out that it was all acting, and it was a shame that this king still accompanied you to cry, what a big loss!" ”

Speaking of which, Shen Ao was not angry, so he had to say with a gloomy face: "What you said also makes sense, then this king will go back to Beijing to resume his life, but the maritime affairs here in Quanzhou, no matter where the official is, will keep an eye on it, the ugly words come to the front, the new deal is maintained well, and the king will ensure that you will be promoted and make a fortune, but if something goes wrong......" smiled suspiciously, and then said: "Then don't blame this king for not being emotional." ”

"Yes, yes......"
