A few days later, under Wang Li's arrangement, Chen Wangyan joined the West Factory.

He didn't stay long in Beijing, hurriedly led the men and horses, and went to Fujian in a murderous spirit.

At the same time, Yuan Chonghuan went to Liaodong;

Wei Zhongxian was busy investigating corruption, but Wang Li waited quietly for more than a month.

In fact, in the past month or so, he seems to be lying on the Taishi chair all day long, but he has done many things secretly.

The most important thing is that the staff size of the West Factory has nearly doubled!

Through the inspection, several hundred households and deputy thousand households were promoted.

On the Grand Canal in February, twenty large ships set off in a majestic manner.

Wang Li's first stop was Nanjing, which was actually not a detour.

Mainly, I want to see the legendary Qinhuai River, by the way!

At the bow of the boat, Wang Li lay leisurely on the Taishi chair.

Behind, a small boat accelerated in pursuit.

After boarding the ship, several brocade guards saluted respectfully.

"Factory father! I waited for a month to check the household registers all over the country, and even the monks registered in the Sangha Records Division also checked! There is no one named Li Zicheng! ”

"Oh?"

Wang Li opened his eyes suddenly, looked up and down at the Jinyi Wei Baihu in front of him, obviously not convinced.

"Are you sure? Is there really no one named Li Zicheng? ”

"Factory father, subordinates are confirmed! The 140,000,000 registered population in the country have all been checked, and there is indeed no one named Li Zicheng! Not even homophonic!

Chances are, he didn't log in! ”

"Didn't log in? Probably not!

Ten thousand? Isn't it awkward to speak? Say "100 million" in the future! You go down first! ”

"No!"

The spring breeze was blowing, and Wang Li closed his eyes again, enjoying the warm spring sun.

There is no one named Li Zicheng?

How can it be?

Could it be that the Ming Dynasty where I am located is different from the Ming Dynasty in history?

However, it is unlikely!

Since there is Emperor Chongzhen, Wei Zhongxian and Huang Taiji, Yuan Chonghuan and Western cannons, Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi, why is there no Li Zicheng?

Could it be that some history has changed because of his own crossing?

That's right, it's March at this time, and Wei Zhongxian is still alive!

If history hadn't changed, this old guy would have been buried long ago!

It should be, maybe, probably, so!

If this is the case, then, as long as Liaodong is held, the Ming Dynasty will not die?

That's fine!

There is an emperor who is easy to handle, and he can make money desperately!

Hey!

"Factory Gong, I just received the news that Wei Zhongxian left the Beijing Division, went up the Sanggan River, and is likely to go to Shanxi!"

Shanxi?

What did he do in Shanxi?

Didn't Cao Huachun go to Shanxi?

No, Cao Huachun came back the day before yesterday!

Didn't hear anything!

Could it be that Cao Huachun didn't catch Mu Zhikui's pigtail and replaced Wei Zhongxian?

Yes, it must be!

How could the Daiwang Mansion, which could even be repaired by the Nine Dragons Zhaobi, only find a few thousand taels of silver?

Hum! Before Cao Huachun went to Datong, the Acting Wangfu had always been guarded by Mu Zhikui!

This guy is bolder than me!

Unexpectedly, the Acting King's Mansion was quietly emptied!

Cao Huachun doesn't have any manpower, so he definitely can't cure him!

It still depends on Wei Zhongxian!

It seems that Zhu Youzhen is also very cunning, and thinks that there is silver hidden in the palace of the king!

"Song Qian, send someone to Shanxi quickly! Don't let Wei Zhongxian swallow it alone! ”

"But...... Factory, our little people ......"

"It doesn't matter! Just send a small flag over! Let him know that we are also staring at Mu Zhikui and the Dai Wangfu, and that's enough! ”

"No!"

Hum!

You old fellow!

If you want to swallow it alone, no way!

"Factory Gong, Li Gao sent a fast horse to report: in Ningbo and Taizhou in Zhejiang, Fuzhou, Quanzhou and Zhangzhou in Fujian, there are many seaports where fishermen gather, just a little transformation! Here's the map he sent back! ”

"Damn! To be able to draw the ground like this, he is really a talent!

Who can read this map?

Neither the southeast nor the northwest?

What is the terrain like?

Are there any waterways connected?

Is there a wide and thick official road?

Were there any raids by the Japanese invaders?

I didn't write anything about it, so what should I see? ”

Wang Li scolded for a long time, and casually threw the map into the river.

His eyes were slightly closed, but his mouth said: "It's okay for this guy to stare at people, but it's a road idiot to find a place!" He's a waste of this trip!

You, hurry up and lead a flag of people to Zhejiang!

Just look for it around Hangzhou!

Try to get as close to the Grand Canal as possible!

Got it? ”

"No!"

Xu Yuqing did not hesitate and hurriedly took a small boat south.

Wang Li closed his eyes again.

Since there is no such person as Li Zicheng, shouldn't Zhang Xianzhong be checked?

Although this guy is a thief, he is unambiguous in his fight against the Qing army!

Whether it is the Sichuan he slaughtered or not, his "Jiangkou Shenyin" is recorded in historical records!

"Hundreds of millions, hundreds of ships"!

Where did this guy make so much money?

Where the hell did he leave his treasure?

Let the experts of later generations have not found it for decades!

Well!

Be sure to find this guy and learn from him how to make money and hide it!

"Lu Zongwu, you bring five more small flags ashore, even if you search all over the country, you have to find the person "Zhang Xianzhong"!

Remember, I'm going to live!

By the way, look for the person "Li Zicheng" again, whether he lives or dies! ”

"No!"

Alas!

Where are these two troublemakers?

My mother, my teacher, I know it's wrong!

When I was in school, I wasn't supposed to play games......

I shouldn't have slept in history class......

Wang Li repented painfully, saying in his heart that he would not sleep heavily, but before he knew it, he fell asleep.

Moreover, I liked the feeling of sleeping in the bow of the ship.

For several days, his Taishi chair could always be seen in the bow of the ship.

On this day, Wang Li slept soundly, but was woken up by Chen Zengzhi, a hundred households.

"Factory company, factory company ......"

"Huh? What's up? ”

"The factory man, Zhejiang Governor Zhang Yandeng, heard that the factory was on a southern tour, and specially brought Jiaxing Mansion, Shaoxing Mansion, Jinhua Mansion, Ningbo Mansion, Wenzhou Mansion, Yanzhou Mansion, and Chuzhou Mansion......

"Gotta, gotta gotta gotta got, gotta got, just say something!"

"Zhang Yandeng, the governor of Zhejiang, learned that the factory wanted to build a port in Zhejiang, so he made a special trip to meet the ...... with eleven prefects."

"I'll go! What do you see? I'm not an emperor! If you spread this, someone should say that I have rebelled!

By the way, you just said ...... Jinhua and Chuzhou? I'll go! These places are not near the sea, what are they messing around? ”

"Factory, they said...... Although it is not near the sea, there is a river that flows to the sea, and you can also build a port! Plus, you can avoid pirates! ”

"Sounds ...... What a reasonable look! Let them come! ”

With permission, more than a dozen people huraled into the cabin.

The intention of these people was expected by Wang Li.

The Yuegang of Zhangzhou Mansion in Fujian Province, in the past 60 years of trade, "the sea ships gather, the merchants gather together", and its prosperity is no less than that of the southern capital!

Taxes are abundant and the people are rich, which is the envy of the coastal states and counties.

The news that Wang Li was ordered to build a port has long spread throughout the country.

Merchants from the south to the north were ecstatic, and Zhejiang and Fujian were even more fried!

In the cabin, after a brief introduction to each other, Governor Zhang Yandeng couldn't wait to speak:

"Factory Gong, the emperor's choice of Zhejiang to open the port for trade is an extremely wise decision!"

Zhang Yandeng arched his hand to the north and continued: "Factory Gong, the eleven prefectures under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang, the waterways extend in all directions, and the land route is convenient and easy...... What about intent? ”

Zhang Yandeng seemed to be asking, but he didn't wait for Wang Li's answer, he naturally sat down and coughed a few times.

Then, there was silence in the cabin, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at Wang Li in unison.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our factory still needs to conduct on-site inspections, and I dare not make a rash decision, and I dare not live up to the trust of the Long Live Lord! So ......"

Wang Li smiled, and just picked up the teacup, Xu Yaoguang, the prefect of Jiaxing, tentatively stepped forward and handed over a map.

"Changgong, this is the map of Jiaxing Prefecture, Haiyan County of this province is close to the sea, the traffic is very convenient, the two fishing ports are slightly renovated, and they can receive merchants from all walks of life in less than half a year......"

"Factory Gong, according to the opinion of the lower officials, Jiaxing Mansion is not the best place to prepare for the construction of a port!"

Zhu Shangzhen, the prefect of Shaoxing, interrupted Xu Yaoguang's words and also presented a map: "Changgong, Xiaoshan County in Shaoxing Prefecture is also close to the sea, and there is Fuchun River from the west, and the waterway is very convenient, which is the best choice for preparing for the construction of a port!" ”

"Humph! Your Xiaoshan County was attacked by pirates only last month, and the magistrate and the history were killed, and the murderer has not been caught so far! How can a port be built in such a chaotic place?

Changgong, Jiande County, Yanzhou Prefecture, is close to the Fuchun River, and the fleet goes down the river, and it only takes two days to go to sea! The people here are simple and the law and order is good!

If the factory can prepare to build a port in Jiande, 30,000 young and strong people are willing to do free conscription! Moreover, the people will raise their own funds to build a shrine for the factory! ”

"How can a port be built inland? The factory is close to the sea in Haining County, Hangzhou Prefecture, and at the mouth of the Fuchun River, there are more waterways and land direct access to the Grand Canal, which is the best place to build a port, please do not hesitate! ”

"Factory Gong, the ...... of Guanhaiwei in Jinhua Mansion"

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Wang Li coughed repeatedly, interrupted everyone's words, and smiled faintly:

"I'm not familiar with Zhejiang! Ladies and gentlemen, you can write down the map of each province and its respective advantages in detail, and I will visit the auspicious again! ”

"That'...... Factory ......"

"Long live the Lord entrusted with a heavy responsibility, I don't dare to be sloppy!

So be it! You can rest in the cabin for a while, no hurry, no hurry! ”

With that, Wang Litou waved to the officials with a harmless smile and walked out slowly.

Oil!

There is oil and water!

Lying on the Taishi chair, Wang Li was in ecstasy!

Oh, Jiansheng Ancestral Hall?

I'm not Wei Zhongxian!

Do you want to kill me?

Let's cash out!

Ha! There is a ready-made fishing port!

With a little makeover, it won't cost much silver!

There is also free conscription!

Zhu Youzhen gave 20,000 taels of silver!

Hey!

Most likely, not a single piece of silver will have to be spent!

Most likely, you can make a profit!

You prefects and counties or something, hurry up and quote!

I...... It's already obvious to imply, right?

Let them draw books, they won't really be drawing books, right?

No, probably not!

One by one, they are all old fritters!

One by one, if you want to "attract investment", you have to give some benefits!

Nima!

There are 30,000 young and strong people in one province!

If you add the elderly, weak, women and children, it can't be more than 100,000?

They all know the benefits of building a port!

It shouldn't be difficult for one person to pay one or two pieces of silver!

One house is more than 100,000 taels!

There are eleven prefectures in Zhejiang!

Ha! One million arrived!

You can redeem the two "Qin Huai Eight Uniques"!

Wrong! Find them in advance before they commit to the Qinglou!

That's a million saves!

Ha! I'm so happy!

By the way, and Fujian!

Fujian has nine state capitals!

Fujian has already opened the Moon Port, and Fujian people are richer!

Scold! Isn't this spring?

Which government gives more money, I'll draw a circle there!

In three or five years, teach them to sing "The Story of Spring"!

Wrong! Zhejiang and Fujian can only build one port each!

Woowoo......
