Zhu Yunwen didn't answer the doubts of King Fu and the others, anyway, they didn't know what Zhu Yunwen wanted to do, so let them continue to guess, Zhu Yunwen planned to go to Zhong Liqing after tonight.
Back at the Drunken Dream Death Building, Zhu Yunwen discussed with Zhu Mei'er that after going out tomorrow, they will change their appearance into something else, because Zhu Yunwen and Gu Xiao are too conspicuous today, I am afraid that there will be many people staring at them when they go out.
The celebration of the newly built dam is still being held, and this is also the first collision between Zhu Yunwen and Xie Ling in Fuzhou, although it is not a direct conflict, Zhu Yunwen is still very keenly aware that Xie Ling is coming at him, otherwise he should not choose to expose himself so quickly.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Zhu Yunwen took people to leave the drunken dream and death building, they walked into a small alley, and the people of the prefect and the Fu King were surprised to find that Zhu Yunwen and others never came out after entering the alley?
Could it be that there's something in this alley?
King Fu and the prefect were instantly full of interest in this alley, and they sent people to quickly investigate the residents in this alley, but they didn't find anything, in fact, Zhu Yunwen and they changed their appearance and left after entering the alley.
Fuzhou Port, here is the main port of the Ming Dynasty to communicate with foreign trade fleets, Fuzhou Port as the largest foreign trade port of the Ming Dynasty, but it is quite prosperous, the fleets of all countries are gathered here, after the Ming Dynasty opened the sea ban, such trade is more prosperous.
There is also a maritime trade bureau in Fuzhou, and the officials in it are in charge of the trade and contacts with foreigners in Fuzhou Port, which at first glance sounds like a very small official, and it is also very tiring, but only those who are in the officialdom know how heavy this position is.
There are policies and countermeasures, Zhu Yunwen also knows that the capital sends too many officials to the local government, which may cause a backlash from the local officials, although Zhu Yunwen is not afraid, but this is very tiring to deal with, so Zhu Yunwen simply let all the officials of the Fuzhou Maritime Trade Bureau be appointed by the local government.
This decree was originally approved by Zhu Yunwen personally, and Fuzhou was shocked when the decree was made, and the Jiangnan Maritime Trade Bureau was all the emperor's henchmen, they originally thought that there would be a group of people from the capital to suppress the local officials in Fuzhou, but they didn't expect Zhu Yunwen to open such a convenience.
The governor of the Fuzhou Maritime Trade Bureau is Li Shen, the eldest son of Li Zhi, the prefect of Fuzhou, and the deputy governor is Xu Qing, the eldest son of Xu Yu, the chief soldier of Fuzhou.
And Fuwang Zhu did not send people to the Fuzhou Maritime Trade Bureau, he is already playing a pivotal role in Fuzhou Maritime Trade, there is no need to cause trouble on the cusp of this storm, you know, although Zhu Yunwen is open, his eyes have been staring at the prince in this fiefdom.
The Fuzhou Maritime Trade Bureau is at the entrance of Fuzhou Port, there are many people here, and it is easier to observe the staff, the two sons of the Fuzhou prefect and the governor are also capable people, and the Fuzhou official system, judging from Zhu Yunwen's current observation, there is no problem.
If you want to enter Fuzhou Port, you must go through the Fuzhou Maritime Trade Bureau, and there are many guards guarding outside the Maritime Trade Bureau, which is also what Zhu Yunwen specially mentioned when setting up the Maritime Trade Bureau, in order to protect foreign trade with Westerners, everyone can not enter and exit the port at will, otherwise it is easy to cause chaos.
Zhu Yunwen and his entourage came to the outside of the Fuzhou Maritime Trade Bureau, and a team of soldiers stopped them, "Who are you!"
"People who often come to Fuzhou Port to trade, this soldier is basically familiar with it, and many of them don't even need to be checked, but the three men and one woman in front of me have really never seen them.
Zhu Yunwen smiled slightly, and he took out a document from his arms, "We are from the capital."
Saying that, Zhu Yunwen handed the document to the soldier, and the soldier opened it and looked at it, it was a very ordinary passage document, which looked like it should have come from the capital to trade.
The soldier waved his hand after making sure there was nothing wrong with the paper, "Let's go inside."
Zhu Yunwen smiled casually, "Thank you, Master Jun."
Immediately, Zhu Yunwen led people in.
When passing through the entrance of Fuzhou Port, Zhu Yunwen found that two people in official uniforms were looking at the people coming and going, they looked quite young, probably twenty-seven or eight, Zhu Yunwen thought about it, this is probably the son of the prefect and the governor.
Looking at their appearance, they are extremely serious, it seems that they are still very serious, Zhu Yunwen smiled at the two officials, Li Shen was stunned, this young man actually smiled at them, but there are many people who come to Fuzhou Port to trade, maybe they have seen it?
Li Shen didn't have any official stands, he smiled back at Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen smiled lightly, and then the eyes of the two became farther and farther away until they disappeared, Xu Qing patted Li Shen's shoulder, "What's wrong?"
” Li Shen smiled casually, "It's nothing, I saw a more interesting person just now."
Xu Qing nodded, "That's it, don't think about that, let's go, we have to receive the person from the capital today." ” Zhu Yunwen walked aimlessly on the port of Fuzhou, there are many cargo ships here, many people are loading and unloading, and countless foreign faces appear in front of Zhu Yunwen.
In the last generation, the Ming Dynasty did not open the sea ban, although the Ming Dynasty has been learning from foreign exchanges, but because of many limitations, in the end it still lagged behind the West, and now, this situation has finally been offset.
"Where can we meet Zhong Liqing?"
Zhu Yunwen asked in his mind, Zhu Meier thought for a while and said, "Zhong Liqing came by order, he wants to find someone from Yingli, he can only communicate through the people of the Fuzhou Maritime Trade Bureau, Zhong Liqing's travel speed will not be very fast, I guess he only came two days ago, so we should be able to find him as long as we go to the Fuzhou Maritime Trade Bureau." ” "Even if we can't find him, we can get a little clue, and if he hasn't arrived yet, that's even better, we can just wait for him."
Zhu Yunwen responded, "Okay, then we'll wait for him." ” "Let's go shopping first."
Zhu Mei'er said with a smile, "Those two officials just now should be the governor and deputy governor of the Fuzhou Maritime Trade Bureau, they are all standing there watching people, and Zhong Liqing must not have arrived yet." ” Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, he smiled and patted his head, "It seems to be, why did you say that my head has been turning so slowly recently."
Zhu Yaqing snorted lightly, "I think you're just a fool."
In the face of Zhu Yaqing's sarcasm, Zhu Yunwen did not respond.
In fact, Zhu Yunwen and his entourage are quite attention-grabbing, this Fuzhou Port is divided into two parts, one is for caravans from various countries to trade, and the other is for guests to rest, and Zhu Yunwen and they are in this part of the trade, that is to say, the people here are all lower-class people.
