0426 Unspeakable
If you succeed in following Liu Haojia's adventure, it will naturally be a big deal! If they fail, they will not be short of the silver! Besides, isn't there still Liu Haojia, the unjust boss, in front? Losing money is not lost alone!
While everyone was talking, suddenly a family member outside ran in and said, "Second Young Master, Long Live Master is here!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and hurriedly got up to welcome them out. But before he could get out of the room, he heard a sound of footsteps, and Emperor Wanli had already walked in with Zhang Jia!
Everyone immediately pushed their chairs and wanted to bow down, but they heard Emperor Wanli say, "Okay, okay! No need to bow down, the room is cramped!"
When everyone saw Emperor Wanli smiling, they knew that he was telling the truth, so they got up under the leadership of Wei Guogong and others, but they still bowed down one by one.
Everyone sat down in the right seat around Emperor Wanli, and Liu Haojia called someone to hurry up and remove the leftover dishes, and then replace them with a new table. And personally sent tea to Emperor Wanli. Emperor Wanli took the teacup and motioned to Zhang Jia to stop the family, saying, "I have already eaten in the palace, so don't be so troublesome!" It's not a big deal for me to come today, by the way, what were you talking about just now?"
Wei Guogong immediately stepped forward and briefly explained the meaning of the conversation just now. After hearing this, Emperor Wanli smiled and nodded again and again, "You Aiqing are very sensitive, and you can guess a lot of things just by guessing! I know Wu Ningbo's plan, but he won't say it, and I can't tell you, so you can guess slowly!"
Cheng Guogong relied on his old qualifications, and deliberately pretended to complain and said, "Long live the lord's mouth is also strict! Just tell the old minister a little bit!" Look at the book
Emperor Wanli was even more proud when he heard this, and waved his hand again and again and said, "Don't say, don't say! But I can tell you that if you follow Wu Ningbo, you will definitely have a good life!"
When everyone heard this, they were even more aware of it, and they all made up their minds that they must get a few sea ships out this time, so that they could follow Liu Haojia to the sea to make a fortune! So they naturally became more enthusiastic about Liu Haojia!
Of course, they didn't forget to flatter Emperor Wanli! As soon as they knew the cause and effect of the matter, they had already piled up all the credit for their strategizing on Emperor Wanli! Liu Haojia will definitely have no objections to this, and Emperor Wanli naturally accepted all the praise!
In his opinion, everything Liu Haojia did was done with his support, and Liu Haojia couldn't do anything without his support! So it's normal to take a little credit for yourself!
And Emperor Wanli did not forget to get closer to these nobles as much as possible. He listed the merits of each noble ancestor, and the nobles who were moved were in tears one by one! But after the ancestors finished speaking, when it came to these descendants, Emperor Wanli really didn't find anything to say, so he could only encourage them to get close to the royal family and jointly maintain the world of the Ming Dynasty!
And the nobles naturally agreed with their mouths, and swore that they would help Emperor Wanli to build the Ming Dynasty into an iron bucket and pass it on from generation to generation!
Hearing their statement, Liu Haojia almost burst out laughing! Even the Wanli Emperor has not been able to find what these nobles have done in recent years, which shows that the nobles have been extremely degraded, and the courage of the ancestors is now only the instinct to fight for power and profit!
But they all took advantage of the rest with the country, thinking that with their support, the Ming Dynasty would be able to pass on forever, and their own families could also get countless benefits!
It's a pity that Liu Haojia knows too well what kind of goods these nobles are, and the standard can be rich and noble, but not weal and woe! Otherwise, it would not have been that when Li Zicheng rushed over with tens of thousands of people, the city of Beijing would have surrendered directly!
After communicating with the nobles for a long time, Emperor Wanli consciously shortened the distance with them again, and then encouraged everyone to leave satisfied. After being disturbed by Emperor Wanli, the banquet was dispersed. However, everyone greeted Liu Haojia warmly when they left, and told him not to forget to say hello when he had a move!
Liu Haojia stayed in Beijing for another four days, and waited until the edict of the navy under the direct jurisdiction of the royal government and renamed the royal fleet was issued to the world, and then a heart fell to the ground, and then hurried to Tianjin. There after more than half a year of operation is already approaching
It's over, and he has to go and preside over it.
After returning to Tianjin, Liu Haojia naturally wanted to have a warm encounter with Miss Zhang, and then tell what happened in Jingshi, and then put himself into intense work.
The first thing Liu Haojia did was to train the troops! Before he could return from the south, he had already sent a message asking Tianjin to recruit troops again. At that time, he planned to take a thousand people with him, and there were only five hundred people left under his command, so he simply ordered another 1,500 people to be recruited, making up two thousand!
Now the two thousand newly recruited people have been fully recruited and have been trained for a period of time, and now they have the appearance of new recruits. And to his surprise, the quality of this batch of recruits was quite high, even better than the quality of the first batch of recruits!
The reason is very simple, when he recruited soldiers for the first time, his main targets were those military households, and those who were in good health and had a good brain already had their own jobs. And at that time, I was not sure whether Liu Haojia could really pay enough military salaries, and their wages at that time were a very important source of livelihood for their family, so they had no intention of quitting their jobs at all!
Later, when they found out that Liu Haojia was really good for the recruits under him, he ate well, used them well, and had enough money, and they regretted complaining about their families one by one, so it was better to let them quit their jobs and join the army earlier! Now that Jinyiwei is recruiting people again, these people naturally ran over immediately, which made Liu Haojia have an unexpected joy!
The second thing Liu Haojia was going to do was to deal with the River Gang in Tianjin and collect the commercial taxes again. Naturally, the collection of business taxes can be done in accordance with the rules, but it is a big problem to rectify the river gang! Because the River Gang is a fairly large gang with a large number of people!
There was no Cao Gang in the Ming Dynasty, so the entire canal was under the control of some large and small gangs! Along a stretch of canal, everything related to the canal, whether it is the manufacture and repair of ships, the transportation of goods and people, etc., is controlled by these gangs! And the River Gang is the gang that controls the Tianjin section of the canal!
And the personnel of the River Gang are also complicated! Boatmen, fishermen, waffles, artisans, and even boat ladies who act as prostitutes are under their control! The entire River Gang, including the Gangding's family, is almost close to 20,000 people! In the face of such a huge number of people, Liu Haojia also felt a headache!
