Chapter 55: An Unknown Prophet?

"Good!"

After listening to Su Hengyu's method, Jiang Chao slapped the table, and the tea on it spilled out.

But at this moment, Jiang Chao couldn't care about this, and only pulled Su Hengyu to ask more details about this method.

"Little boy, you can tell me more about this self-built water master. How do we build it, and how do we inform the imperial court? Can our sailors be recognized by the imperial court? ”

Su Hengyu didn't mean to hide his secrets, and then said to the shopkeeper Jiang: "Although it is nominally a self-built water division, this water division must be formed in the name of the county, and when the time comes, we will ask the county master to show to the court and spend money to form a team of water divisions." With our own people in Chaozhu City, each caravan is responsible for spending it. When the merchant ships go to sea, they are escorted by sailors. Once those pirates dare to raid, the sailors will be able to catch them as soon as possible! ”

In fact, this method is not very ingenious, but the social status of businessmen is low, not to mention meddling in the affairs of the water master, even if it is dealing with the magistrate, it must be carefully weighed.

But Su Hengyu dared to do business with the princess and the emperor, and naturally knew that there was no obvious intention to suppress the businessman today.

Jiang Chao listened to her words, and said with some concern: "It is feasible for the business bank to pay for this, but will the magistrate agree to help us facilitate this matter?" Besides, if the sailor really wants to be formed, after all, he will become a member of the imperial court, will people really come to protect our fleet? ”

"Steward Jiang doesn't understand, now that the court has been stable for not many years, it is the time when the court needs taxes. The merchants brought a lot of taxes, and paid a lot of silver to the imperial court every year. Naturally, the imperial court will protect you. As for the magistrate, as a local parent official, there were pirates in the places under his jurisdiction, and he also killed so many people of Great Wei and seized the property of Great Wei. If he can solve such a big problem with his own ability, the court will not only not blame, but will reward him. ”

"With such great achievements, the county will at least be a 'good' in this year's evaluation, so for the future, he will also help us promote this matter. Besides, he doesn't have to pay anything, just the table. If the emperor allows it, what are you worried about? If the emperor doesn't allow it, we can live as usual at most, and there is nothing to lose. ”

Jiang Chao was moved by Su Hengyu's words, they Shouyin Commercial Bank can invest a lot of money on this route, if they really give it up, where are so many merchant ships? What to do with so many crew members?

That is, the owner of the bank firm had a conscience, so he did not let the fleet continue to go to sea at great risk. If you change the rest of the trading houses, those who don't want to die as long as they want money, maybe they will urge the fleet to feed the pirates.

In the final analysis, if there is a way, Jiang Chao is definitely not willing to give up just like that.

Now that Su Hengyu has given him a new direction, Jiang Chao naturally wants to fight again.

Seeing his expression, Su Hengyu knew that there was a door to this matter: "Manager Jiang, if you want to do this, you have to do it as soon as possible." It is better to bring in more comptoirs, and when the time comes, you will share the cost of forming a sailor, and there will not be much money to be paid. If it is delayed any longer, some firms will give up Chaozhu City and leave directly, and you will have one less partner. ”

Su Hengyu is urging Jiang Chao to pull more people into the water, and when the time comes, the water division will be formed, and they will make the water division have a better development for their own interests.

In this way, the shipping on the side of Chaozhu City will not stagnate, and the contact between Dawei and the outside world will not be so easy to break.

When the water master is effective, the person who proposes the method will naturally get the favor of the beneficiary firm. When the time comes, if she wants to do business with this group of people, it will naturally be more convenient.

Jiang Chao listened to Su Hengyu's analysis and felt that it really made sense. He didn't care about entertaining distinguished guests, so he said a few more words to Su Hengyu, and after sending people away amicably, he immediately went to a few closer business houses and talked about the formation of a water division.

Su Hengyu could only come up with a rough idea of this method alone, but that group of shrewd businessmen got together and added Su Hengyu's plan seamlessly in two clicks.

So, when Su Hengyu was still worried about how to safely transport these good seeds back to Zhuangzi, Shopkeeper Jiang and others had already united with the shopkeepers of many commercial houses to find Chen Hewen, the magistrate of the county.

Chen Hewen has not had a good time these days, the pirates have made a comeback, not only robbing many merchant ships in a short period of time, but also killing many fishermen who went to sea.

The numbers reported to him were all human lives. This made Chen Hewen entangled in how to deal with the pirates, and at the same time, he was also saddened by the loss of so many people by Great Wei.

Of course he wanted to do something, not only to stabilize his official position, but also to avenge the innocent dead and injured people of Great Wei!

At this juncture, a team of spies arranged by His Majesty came to Chaozhu City, and directly found him, asking for the case files of Chaozhu City over the years.

If it were someone else, Chen Hewen might still struggle, after all, the spy has no identity on the surface, and in front of him, a serious magistrate, maybe who is more powerful.

It's just that when Chen Hewen saw that face, he silently compromised and directly gave up his chair.

It's just because the leader of this team of spies is Cui Lanting who he knows.

Cui Lanting was born in the Cui clan and has a lot of influence in Beijing. It can be said that if it weren't for the fact that His Majesty is a strong and intelligent emperor today, if someone else sits on the dragon chair, I am afraid that he would have been set aside by the Cui family a long time ago.

The Cui family, who was in such a position of cooking oil with fire, should have been the most feared by the emperor, but there was a Cui Lanting, which made His Majesty very happy and accepted him as a confidant.

And Cui Lanting also looked like he was loyal to His Majesty, and he didn't even listen to the words of his family, and only devoted himself to being the knife in His Majesty's hand.

Otherwise, with the intelligence of Cui Lanting, I am afraid that he would have won the champion a long time ago and would have been on the streets.

After reading the file of the magistrate's mansion, Cui Lanting did not live up to the praise of outsiders, and quickly came up with a way to ask Chen Hewen to call the caravan shopkeeper who had been robbed by pirates several times, saying that he wanted them to pay to form a sailor.

Chen Hewen was stunned when he heard this: "Your method, will they agree to it?" Getting a businessman to pay is like plucking the feathers of an iron rooster. ”

"This matter jeopardizes their business, as long as they are not short-sighted, they will naturally agree. Just do it. The man with a long figure put down a dossier, and his knobby fingers were so beautiful that Chen Hewen silently hid his hands in his official robes.

As soon as he walked out of the study, he didn't have time to call the butler to ask about Dandy's firm. The butler came over eagerly and whispered, "Master, there are more than a dozen shopkeepers from more than a dozen commercial houses outside looking for them, saying that they want to discuss with you and pay for the formation of a water division." ”

Chen Hewen was stunned: ? When did this group of merchants in Chaozhu City have the ability to predict the future?
