(The previous chapter has been released)

Eunuch Sun finally realized that he might have been tricked, and Lin Tailai really pretended to be crazy and stupid, and then waited for himself to fall from active to passive.

But in the face of the Suzhou overlord, Eunuch Sun decided to show a little respect and conduct a dialogue with an equal identity.

It's not because Lin Tailai is worthy of respect, but because Lin Tailai's strength in Suzhou is worthy of respect.

Lin Daguan asked again: "Which is more profitable, whether to levy 10,000 horses of silk or sell 10,000 horses of silk and satin in the two oceans?" ”

Without thinking about this question, Eunuch Sun replied, "Of course it's the latter!"

But how do I do it? I'm the commander of the weaving, not the promotion of the city! ”

After the Japanese rebellion, the city and ship divisions in Zhejiang and Fujian were abolished, and now only the city ship division in Guangdong is still operating, and the other two have not been restored.

There is still some time before the outbreak of foreign trade, and the imperial court does not seem to be so eager to restore the city.

Lin Daguan responded: "Sun Gong's pattern may also be enlarged, as the saying goes, there are no conditions, and the conditions must be created!" ”

Sun Long's mind was not slow, and then he thought of another previous economic news - Lin Shoubei's speech pointed out that Suzhou should have a direct seaport!

Lin Daguan said leisurely: "I heard that the Wusong River, which originates from Taihu Lake, has abundant water, and the river channel is wide and straight, and it flows directly into the sea from west to east in those years.

In the Song and Yuan dynasties of the former dynasties, foreign ships could go directly to Suzhou from the mouth of the ancient Wusong River and along the Wusong River.

It is a pity that the lower reaches of the Wusong River were silted up, and 20 years ago, when Haiqingtian was the governor of the sky and built water conservancy, the Wusong River was introduced to the north of the Great Huangpu River.

Since then, the Wusong River has become a tributary of the Great Huangpu River, and there is no downstream and estuary. ”

The Great Huangpu River that Lin Daguan said at this time is the famous Huangpu River in later generations.

The estuary of the ancient Wusong River is in Pudong in the later generations. Everyone knows how backward the Pudong coast was before the reopening, and it is directly related to the abandonment of the ancient Wusong River estuary.

Of course, for Lin Daguan, the difference is that the ancient Wusong River estuary and Suzhou shipping are extremely convenient, but it is inconvenient from the Great Huangpu River.

Sun Long was not an incompetent eunuch, so he immediately asked, "Then do you know, why did Hai Rui do this?"

First, Dahuangpu does not enter the sea directly, but flows into the Yangtze River near the junction of rivers and seas, where barracks are scattered and the river is heavily defended.

Second, the river in the lower reaches of Dahuangpu is tortuous, with many twists and turns, and Dianshan Lake is blocked, so it is not easy for foreign ships to sail upriver through Dahuangpu.

Therefore, Hai Rui turned the Wusong River into a tributary of the Great Huangpu River and abandoned the estuary of the ancient Wusong River in order to prevent foreign enemies from attacking at sea and ensure the safety of the Susong hinterland.

What does this mean? It shows that the imperial court's requirement for Jiangnan is safety first, and it does not think that Jiangnan needs to have a seaport! ”

Eunuch Sun's meaning, in short, it was inconvenient to go deep into Suzhou from the Great Huangpu River, but it became a defensive advantage in the eyes of the imperial court.

This is the difference in concept, the difference between outward-looking ocean thinking and introverted continental thinking.

After thinking for a while, Lin Daguan said: "I only say three points, first, there is no eternal law in the world, for example, two hundred years of prohibition and exchange with the Beiyu, but in the Longqing Dynasty, what about the switch, what is the reopening of the ancient Wusongkou?"

Second, if after the ancient Wusongkou is reopened, there are really foreign enemies strong enough to break through the Wusongkou and enter the hinterland, then the Yangtze River Estuary will not be able to prevent it!

If you also consider that the Yangtze River Estuary is safer than the ancient Wusong Estuary, it is ridiculous!

Third, what kind of person is the emperor, Sun Gong, you know better than me, people who lack self-control will only fall deeper and deeper step by step.

If you think that just a few hundred looms from the Weaving Bureau can meet the emperor's future requirements, then I have nothing to say. ”

In fact, among these three points, the key point is still the third point, and the third point that can impress Eunuch Sun the most.

When the foreign ministers were still angry that the Wanli Emperor did not go to court or was nonsense in the affairs of the East Palace, the eunuchs must have realized more deeply that the emperor was no longer repressive and his various desires had exploded in an all-round way.

For example, the eunuchs all knew that Zhang Whale, the governor of Dongchang, had something that made the emperor angry, but after he offered a batch of treasures, he was fine.

This is called, the prophet of the plumbing duck in the spring river.

Sun Long stared at Lin Daguan in surprise for a while, but he didn't expect that a military attache who was far away in Suzhou could also feel the emperor's wind direction so accurately.

In the future, whoever says that Lin Tailai is brainless and reckless, he will "puff" the other party's face.

People with such insight can certainly cooperate. For eunuchs, whoever can find out the emperor's mind is a powerful person!

In the end, Lin Daguan said: "At the beginning, you have to just do it and don't say it. In the past two years, in the name of dredging, the Wusong River has been slowly repaired, and the matter of reopening the ancient Wusongkou has not been mentioned on the surface.

At the same time, Sun Gongling explained with the emperor in secret and persuaded the emperor.

Finally, it is necessary to enlist the support of local scholars and doctors to eliminate local hidden dangers as much as possible.

It's great to be able to do it all in two years! Maybe by then, Sun Gong, you can also serve as a city boss! ”

The reason why Lin Daguan is not so anxious is because the scale of his own industrial park has not yet come up

Even if the ancient Wusongkou is reopened tomorrow and the channel of direct sea trade is opened, it will be cheaper for others.

Coming out of the Weaving Bureau, Lin Tailai came to Shenfu again.

As the late spring passed and the weather became hotter, Second Master Shen became even more formal, and came out of the inner room shirtless to meet the guests, and saw that he was working hard for the prosperity of the family.

Lin Daguan persuaded: "Second master, the matter of the lawsuit has passed, don't always stay at home, go out and walk around more." ”

Second Master Shen was already very familiar with Lin Daguan's style of speaking, and directly asked the key: "Where do you want me to go?" ”

Lin Daguan replied: "Songjiang Mansion next door, especially Shanghai County, is actually okay to move there.

After all, Ling Zun and Brother Ling will definitely come back in the future, you will be greatly limited in Suzhou, and it is not bad to move to the next door and become an independent room in the future. ”

Second Master Shen sighed resentfully, and said resentfully: "I know that one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, presumably you don't need me as the leader of the alliance anymore, right?"

Your strength has developed to this point, and I have become an obstacle for you, right?

So you need me to leave Suzhou and make way for you, right? ”

Lin Tailai: "."

Second Master Shen said very consciously: "I understand, I understand, there is no family affection in front of power, let alone a mere in-law." ”

Lin Daguan took a deep breath and explained: "Is it possible that it is because I have been lacking in skills in the past two years, so I entrusted you to do it for me and go to the other side?"

With such a big career, I can't just do everything myself, right? ”

Second Master Shen was sensible and distressing, "It's okay, even if it is exile, I don't mind, after all, Suzhou Songjiang is close at hand." It's not a trip to a place like Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangzhou. ”
