Chapter 067: Turn (I)
The first batch of grain ships went to sea smoothly, and Dinghai, which had been running at high speed like a huge machine under Zhu Yuan's control, did not return to calm.
Dinghai County is on the right side.
This was originally the place where Fang Guozhen's private salt department was located, which was responsible for boiling salt in the sea, drying salt and collecting salt taxes.
Because of the exceedance of the regulations, the chief salt officer set up in Dinghai by the Mingzhou Branch under the Salt Envoy Department of the Liangzhejiang Salt Envoy was only the governor of the eight-grade salt transportation and was not qualified to occupy this place, so it was sealed.
Before, it was intended to be the government office of the Yinghai Division, but Zhu Yuan didn't want it, and now it has become the newly opened Mingzhou City Boshi Station.
The former deputy of Taicang City was appointed as the newly opened Mingzhou City Ship Promotion.
From the five-grade Mingzhou City, it is four levels higher than the Dinghai Zhixian from the seven-grade next door, so it is naturally not a problem to open a government here.
The recently thinned Changbao had just returned from the pier outside the South Gate, followed by several short Japanese maritime merchants, whose names were also very strange, and according to the translation, they were headed by Murata doormen.
What kind of guards are needed in the fields, the guards can be justified.
The wilderness is far away, and the regular newspaper has no heart to think about this.
The reason why I came forward in person today was because the Murata doorman brought a batch of sulfur, which was 3,000 catties.
This is one of the special commodities that the temporary Daming City Shipping Decree focuses on, and merchants are encouraged to import and enjoy duty-free privileges, but they must be strictly declared and purchased by the government.
Moreover, some time ago, a decree on the control of gunpowder issued by the Zhongshu also sternly stated that anyone who mines, transports, and sells saltpeter and sulfur more than 10 catties without permission is guilty of death.
His Majesty the Emperor's saber is still in Dinghai, and no one dares to take it seriously.
Chang Pao personally issued a document and sent officials to transfer it to the Yinghai Division, asking the Mingzhou Marine Trading Company to take over this batch of sulfur as soon as possible, and then turned his attention to several other local maritime merchants who had rushed to the city in advance.
According to the regulations, overseas businessmen who come to Daming, whether they buy or sell, must do so through a licensed local maritime trading company.
Among them, controlled products such as sulfur are more restrictive and can only be purchased by state-owned maritime trading companies at market prices.
Mingzhou Marine Trading Company is the name of one of the two state-owned licenses, and the other one, with a bigger name, is called Jinling Marine Trading Company.
There are also doorways.
Regarding what kind of 'company', Yinghai Division requires that there must be a registered name, and the Yinghai envoy also said a few words that private enterprises cannot be related to country names and place names, and other names can be taken at will, such as speaking in Mingyuan Hall at that time, it is a Mingyuan Marine Trading Company at will, or you can directly use a surname, such as several partnerships, that is, Zhao Qiansun Li Marine Trading Company, and so on.
The name of the maritime trading company where Fu Shou, a salt merchant under the Governor of the Navy, served as a legal person, was called Hengtai Marine Trading Company.
Very auspicious name.
In addition, the concept of 'legal person' is the same as that of 'board of directors'. In addition to the registered name, each company must also nominate a registered 'legal person'.
It's not hard to see why.
If something happens, the legal person must be the first to be held accountable.
Then, to the 'state-owned enterprises', which is also the saying of the little adult, in short, there is the Mingzhou Marine Trading Company.
This time it's about place names.
The envoy of the camp did not explain this time, and Chang Bao pondered it privately, and probably understood some truth.
Let's just say that a 'private enterprise', if it is called Daming Marine Trading Company, or even if it is smaller, Zhejiang Marine Trading Company, it is too easy for people to misunderstand whether you represent the imperial court, in case there is any traitor in the future, it will damage the reputation of the imperial court.
Therefore, it will certainly not be allowed.
State-owned enterprises, apparently to say otherwise, are indeed 'state-owned' after all, and to some extent represent the imperial court.
After coordinating a business here, it was noon in a blink of an eye.
All the maritime merchants made a banquet together and invited the regular newspaper, and the regular newspaper did not refuse. The envoy of Yinghai told him very bluntly that money and goods cannot be collected, but daily entertainment, as long as it is not too much, is acceptable.
After all, when the water is clear, there are no fish.
However, the envoy also had other words, telling him that he should have some political ambitions and not delay his future for the sake of something outside his body.
He also said that in the future, the imperial court's election system will be more and more different from that of previous dynasties, and the starting point is no longer a limit, as long as he can do things, can do things, and dare to do things, it will not be a problem to be a marquis and pay homage to the prime minister in the future, and leave his name in the annals of history.
In just over a month, Chang Bao was tired to lose a lot of weight, and some of his initial thoughts were unconsciously worn away.
Not only that, but he personally presided over the drafting of the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, and watched the regulations made after some hard work be promulgated into law, and Changbao inevitably gave birth to a sense of accomplishment like a Confucian statement.
What's more, there's that knife.
Chang Bao thinks that if this is the case, then do things well, and if you are really lucky enough to leave some reputation in the history books, it seems that it is not bad.
As soon as the same group of maritime merchants went out, Chang Bao was blocked.
It's that chapter jaw.
This is not the first time that the other party has come to entangle, hoping that he will lead the Zhang family to invest in a certain maritime businessman.
When the seven maritime merchants had been confirmed, this person was still not giving up, and even came up with the idea of the remaining three licenses. Chang Bao inquired about this person in private, and knew the reputation of the other party, so he never contacted the mind again.
This time, he was also a little bored, and directly ordered the officials to drive the people away, and also asked the other party to give a message, not to entangle again, otherwise they would be beaten.
Diao Min!
……
Yinghai Division's mansion can't reach himself, these days still unwilling to give up Zhang Jaw can only run to try the door of the City Bo Division, hearing the word, seeing that the new City Bo Tiju has already said no words, and when the official goes away, Zhang Jaw angrily hammered his own car a few times, and then had no choice but to climb into the car.
The carriage began to move forward, and Xiang Er, who was originally sitting on the wheel, came in, seeing Zhang Jaw's dejected appearance, the 'Dragon King in the Waves' was angry, and said viciously: "Brother, just say any word, and go and slaughter the dog official quietly." ”
Zhang Jaw leaned weakly against the wall of the carriage, not bothering to speak.
Rammed goods.
If this can be the case, he can't wait to cut the whole Yinghai Division with a thousand knives, not to mention that he often reports one? However, after slaughtering Chang Bao and implicating him, how can the Zhang family survive with dozens of mouths up and down?
Is it difficult to go to sea?
Is there still a place for the pirates off the coast of Mingzhou now?
Back at the residence, as soon as Zhang Jaw got out of the car, a steward who was supposed to be in Haiyan's hometown hurriedly ran forward and whispered in his ear, hearing that all the helmsmen and sailors who were originally employed by Zhang's family had been dug up by other families, and Zhang Jaw couldn't help but flash a word in his mind.
Rats leave a sinking ship.
Zhang Jaw understands that the root is still in the Ying Hai Division.
A licensed merchant had to supply 500 helmsmen and sailors to participate in the transportation of grain, and in addition to preparing for the sea trip in June and July, each family was recruiting heavily in recruitment.
The question is, without these people, even if the Zhang family squeezes into the license, how can they do maritime business again?
Thinking about it like this, Zhang's mouth grew bigger and bigger, and he felt that his breathing was a little difficult, and suddenly he didn't take a breath, and he fainted straight up.
It's too much of a deception!
……
In the small courtyard in the northwest corner of Dinghai County.
Chen Ning returned from outside Xicheng after noon, and again, he 'encountered' the Gan Sui of Zuo Xiang's house.
These days, Chen Ning knew that Gan Sui had figured out his residence, but he also asked the servant to quietly find out Gan Sui's residence, and the two sides reached a tacit understanding that some kind of well water would not interfere with river water.
Tacit understanding?
Scold!
Back in the small courtyard, his own little maid brought a good news, the rich man of the chapter and the jaw chapter ran into a wall in the city today, probably angry, returned to his own door, and fainted directly.
Tut!
Such a stupid person who has no energy, co-authoring should be used for his own use.
After having lunch outside, Chen Ning listened to the little girl's report, gave another order, and came to the study.
Sitting down in front of the book, Chen Ning picked up a letter that had been repeatedly revised and considered recently, read it carefully again, revised it slightly, then found a tool, and began to carve a seal.
I have seen a private seal, only two ancient seal characters: 100 rooms.
Li Shanchang, word hundred room.
……
Gan Sui felt that he should kill Chen Ning.
These days, he clearly felt that Chen Ning, who had been staying in Dinghai, seemed to be brewing something, and it might have something to do with him.
But he has no evidence.
Moreover, even if Chen Ning is already white, in the end, he has been a senator of the third grade of the Chinese book, and it is impossible to be like the ordinary people with flat heads. In case of death, it is inevitable that there will be branches. Therefore, even if he wants to kill, he should not do it, otherwise it is likely to implicate Zuo Xiang.
If you can't kill, you can only keep your distance.
After getting up early, he spent half a day in the west of the city, and after noon, Gan Sui came to the east of the city.
At the foot of Zhaobao Mountain, a wounded barracks was recently built.
Zuo Xiang sent a message to him, and asked Gan to think about what kind of penicillium therapy could be called a resurrection.
Gan Sui tried to enter the wounded barracks, but failed, so he could only look for opportunities in the periphery.
Soon after arriving, Gan Sui saw a group of wounded soldiers transported here from the dock, and then, Dai Sanchun, whom he also knew, hurried in with a group of people.
This made Gan Sui suddenly lift a little spirit.
Dai Sanchun, who is also known in the Sipintai Hospital, is still a medical officer who has stayed by that person's side for a long time.
After waiting patiently for half an hour, Gan Sui finally caught up with a lightly injured soldier who went out of the camp to buy, and learned what had just happened.
The Navy Governor's Office received a report from fishermen that a group of pirates had recently escaped from the south on an island more than 100 miles east of Daishan.
So a group of arrogant soldiers rushed to suppress it.
After listening to this, Gan Sui felt that this group of pirates was really not very smart and well-informed.
And the rats that broke into the cat's nest?
As a result, most of the more than 200 pirates died, and the remaining sixty or seventy were also strung with a rope and sent to the hard labor camp.
However, in the end, it is a bandit, and casualties are inevitable here.
Eleven were killed and twenty-nine wounded.
……
Inside the wounded barracks.
Dai Sanchun and the team of medical officers were busy for more than an hour, dealing with serious injuries, and finally some minor injuries.
I'm going to try the scalding method again this time.
Dai Sanchun personally participated in the design and created a batch of sterling silver instruments, which are actually various types of silver branding suitable for wounds of different sizes.
In addition, gunpowder was brought, but it is not needed today, and no one has arrow wounds.
Inside one of the barracks of the wounded barracks.
Apprentice Sanqi personally lit the stove with high-quality white charcoal.
Dai Sanchun examined the wounds of the six wounded in the barracks, and after a brief treatment, he began to select silver burners, put them in the white charcoal stove, and then ...... The six lightly injured soldiers here realized what they were doing, and they all said that they didn't need to be treated, just endure it.
Just escaped.
In a blink of an eye, he was reprimanded by Shangguan and rushed back.
It's like waiting to be punished.
Seeing this, Dai Sanchun seriously explained the truth to the soldiers.
Don't think it's a minor injury, in case of suppuration and infection, causing a high fever, it will also kill people.
The six wounded could only nod.
Soon, there was a tantalizing ...... floating in the ward Well, no, it's the smell of oozing flesh.
After the end, Dai Sanchun carefully filled in the six 'cases', which was an idea put forward by Zhu Yuan very early, through the cases, the experience can be summed up, and provide reference for later generations.
Dai Sanchun officially wrote down the first case, the patient's name was 'Pu Zhongheng', and he was able to get out of bed and walk around at the moment.
When Dai Sanchun finally left, a stout wounded soldier in the ward, who was usually a little stingy, immediately complained: "In the Zhu sedan room, there are those penicillium miracle drugs that I don't use, and I compete for this soldering iron, it's really ...... How can this be reasonable, he should have more names, called Zhu Soldering Iron. ”
Seeing that this guy actually shouted out a certain name that everyone was gossiping about in private, several people around were taken aback.
This is to eat the board!
One of the wounded soldiers, who was usually acquainted, hurriedly dissuaded: "Sun Er, shut up, do you want the credit of your two heads to be erased?" ”
When Sun Er heard this, he immediately shut up.
However, after waiting for a while, there was no movement at the door of the ward, obviously no one heard Sun Er's complaint just now, so someone whispered and laughed: "It's silver, not iron, that piece just now, tsk, it's enough for me to go back to my hometown and buy a few acres of good land." ”
Another person also joked: "Then it should be called 'Zhu Xuanyin'." ”
Seeing that everyone was talking again, Sun Er was very dissatisfied with the change of his nickname, and emphasized in a loud voice: "Zhu Soldering Iron! ”
……
Dai Sanchun returned to Zhu Yuan's Yinghai Envoy's mansion in the west of the city, and the time was already evening.
When you enter the door, you will meet Wu Zhen, the deputy governor of the navy.
The Governor of the Navy went out to sea today to personally escort a group of Fujian soldiers who had recovered their vigor to various designated lighthouse islands, and this group of people would be responsible for the construction of lighthouses, barracks, ports, and other facilities.
At the same time, this group of soldiers led by the Governor will also conduct a five-day routine inspection.
The deputy governor stayed behind.
Wu Zhen exchanged a few words with Dai Sanchun, and then left the Yinghai Envoy's mansion.
In the afternoon, he came to discuss with Zhu Yuan the next step of naval training, and Xiao Hanlin's idea that the new naval warfare should focus on long-range strikes, focusing on the development of firearms and bows and crossbows, and destroying the enemy before the docking, made Wu Zhenmao suddenly.
Then, at the end, Xiao Hanlin talked to him openly and honestly about some things.
Hua Gao only planned to do it for three years, and after three years, it was no surprise that he was the new naval governor.
In addition, regarding the shares of Haimao Company, the part obtained by Huagao is equivalent to being used for pension. He still has more room to show, and if he does a good job in the future, His Majesty will definitely not treat him badly, and the excess 20% of the shares of each sea trade company are reserved for them, so that he doesn't have to worry now.
Speaking of which, Wu Zhen minded before.
The license of the sea trade company, the lord gave Xiao Hanlin 30% and Huagao 20%, but when he came here, Yicheng did not have it, and he was indeed a little uncomfortable.
However, Xiao Hanlin's words untied the knot in his heart.
At the same time, I also understood once again that Hua Gao was just sent by his own lord to help Xiao Hanlin do things, and many people in private said that what Dinghai really said was a certain camp sea envoy little adult, which was not wrong at all.
This also made Wu Zhen secretly adjust his attitude towards that little Hanlin in his heart.
Not to mention anything else, it was just a little more than a month before the first batch of grain was delivered, and Wu Zhen also inevitably thought about it in private, and concluded that he couldn't do it.
It is natural for such a person to say the words that he will send the lord to the state for 500 years, and he will be valued by the lord.
After making up his mind, Wu Zhen, who was slowly walking on the street on a horse, thought of another thing.
News came from Jinling.
These days, his brother Wu Liang has been impeached several times in a row, mostly saying that he stretched his hand too long, interfered in the locality, and exceeded his authority.
Obviously, because of his brother's merits, the lord did not deal with it too much, but just sent someone to Suzhou and conveyed some admonitions in person.
Alas.
This...... It must still be a drain.
Wu Zhen only hopes that his brother can wake up and don't insist on going his own way. Otherwise, no matter how much credit and affection you have, how many times can you withstand consumption?
