Chapter 288: Zhang Ji
In Tang He's letter, he said two things, one is that in the coastal area, there was a sudden trace of the Japanese robbers, and Tang He had given up his vacation and rushed to the water division to take office.
The second is to urge Lan Bin to speed up and quickly arrange personnel to go to Sakura Country to investigate the matter of Iwami Ginshan. And vaguely pointed out in the letter that Zhu Yuanzhang has been staring at this matter, delaying for too long, lest Zhu Yuanzhang be unhappy.
After reading the letter, Lan Bin especially saw Tang He's vague mention, and realized that Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that he had said something to Tang He, so he asked Tang He to write a special letter to mention it.
After thinking about it, he folded the letter again, put it in the envelope, waved his hand to let the porter go down, and then muttered, "Thursday, you go to Lan Wu and ask him to come to the study to see me!"
"Yes, young master!" Thursday nodded, and turned to look for Blue Five.
Lan Bin went straight to his study, called someone to fetch a fire fold and ignited it, and then burned Tang He's letter.
Although there is nothing too much in Tang He's letter, it still vaguely conveys some of Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude, and the investigation of Iwami Yinshan is currently a confidential matter.
The people who know the entire court can be counted on one hand.
Such letters must not be lost to others, lest they be taken advantage of.
After a while, Lan Wu hurriedly came to Lan Bin's study, raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his long sleeves, before panting and said, "Young Master, are you looking for me?"
"Lan Wu, among my righteous brothers, are there any who are in the water master?" Lan Bin nodded and asked.
Lan Yu has hundreds of righteous sons, in addition to some who have been with Lan Yu for a long time, there are also some scattered scattered all over the place, either in the local tuntian, or in the local yamen.
Now he wants to organize a fleet and go to sea to the cherry blossom country, if there are professionals, his own people in the fleet can be better than sending non-professional cronies, not much better.
It's just that he wasn't sure if those righteous sons of Lan Yu had any professionals from the water master.
Lan Wu was surprised, "Young Master, why did you suddenly ask about this?"
"Don't worry about it, just tell me, is there any?" Lan Bin waved his hand.
Lan Wu thought for a moment before saying, "Yes, the old man accepted a righteous son a few years ago, named Zhang Ji. I'm currently working as a sailor."
"Zhang Ji? How come I haven't heard the name? And why is his surname Zhang, don't believe in Lan?" Lan Bin was stunned and said suspiciously.
In ancient times, it was common to accept a righteous son, and he had to follow the surname of the lord's family.
Like before Zhu Yuanzhang made his career, he received a lot of righteous sons, all of whom were given to the surname Zhu.
Among them, the most well-known is the current Xipinghou and the future Qianning Wang Muying.
It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor and had his own son, in order to reduce the special status of the righteous son and alleviate the phenomenon of the army generals wantonly accepting the righteous son, etc., he took the lead in letting the righteous son restore his original surname and recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.
Lan Wu hurriedly said, "Young Master, don't you know, this Zhang Ji is different from the other righteous sons of the master, most of the other righteous sons of the old man are orphans. And this Zhang Ji has parents."
"It's just that the master sees that this Zhang Ji is a talent, and he is very filial, so he can not believe in Lan if he authorizes Zhang Ji."
"Then do you know what position this Zhang Ji holds in the water division?" Lan Bin said again.
Lan Wu shook his head: "Zhang Ji was a water master who joined last year, and now that almost two years have passed, I don't know what position he currently holds in the water master!"
"Alright! Then you go and find out what position this Zhang Ji holds in the water division, and where he is now." Lan Bin suddenly commanded.
Lan Wuhu said suspiciously, "Young Master, you are..."
"That's coming later!"
Lan Bin waved his hand, and said, "And you let the glass workshop and the soap workshop step up the production of a batch of goods, don't sell them to the outside world, give me where to stockpile, I will be useful!" Look at the book
"Yes, young master!" Lan Bin became more and more puzzled in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't ask much.
Lan Bin said again, "Okay, you can hurry up and make arrangements!"
"Yes, young master!"
Lan Wu nodded, and just turned to leave, when he suddenly remembered something, stopped and turned around and said, "That's right, young master
, the editor of Daming Daily, has preliminarily decided the content of the second issue, do you want to take a look?"
"Let someone bring it! I'll take a look!" Lan Bin nodded.
Daming Daily has just been listed, and for Daming, it is a new thing, so he needs to personally check the drafts of the first few issues of the daily newspaper, select suitable manuscripts, and publish them in the daily newspaper.
However, when Daming Daily is on the right track and the editorial team of the daily newspaper is trained, he can review the manuscripts of Daming Daily and hand them over to the people below.
Just take care of the big picture.
"Okay, then I'll have someone send it to the young master later!"
Lan Wu walked quickly out of Lan Bin's study.
After Lan Bin saw Lan Wu leave, he came to the desk and sat down, casually took down a stack of papers from the books piled up on the desk, flipped through the department store plan written on it, and began to revise and improve it again.
Since the last time he discussed with Ji'an Hou Lu Zhongheng and others, he has been writing this department store and supermarket plan.
It's just that there are so many things to consider, such as the selection of special goods in various places, transportation, supermarket operation prospects, etc., so that they haven't been written yet. ……
In the afternoon, when Lan Bin was obsessed with revising the supermarket plan and couldn't extricate himself, he inadvertently heard a movement, and raised his eyes to see Thursday putting a stack of manuscripts on top of the stacked books on the desk.
Lan Bin was taken aback when he saw such a big living person standing next to him, and subconsciously said, "What are you doing on Thursday?"
"Young master, this is sent by the housekeeper, the first draft of the second issue of Daming Daily, I see that young master you are busy, ready to put it on the desk, young master, wait for you to read it when you are free!"
Thursday hurriedly said, "I didn't want to surprise you, young master!"
"Did you send the first draft? I'll see!"
Lan Bin was interested, put the pen in his hand aside, stretched his waist, and moved his neck, before reaching out to take the manuscript that he put down on Thursday, and bowed his head to review it.
