When Xu Keqiu, the governor of Shandong, heard Xu Guangqi say this, he pondered it seriously, and then said very seriously: "Xiaguan also thinks it's good here!"
At that time, Ma Yun and Ye Wang's two generals were ordered by Taizu to take a boat from Penglai to Liaodong, and arrived here with a smooth wind, so this place was renamed Lushunkou, which shows that this place is an auspicious place, and it is very suitable as a naval division. ”After Xu Guangqi took a closer look at the surroundings, he also nodded and said, "In this case, how about we jointly use this place as a training and garrison place for the sailors of the Guards Battalion?"
”"Obey the orders of the elder pavilion!"
Xu Keqiu and Shen Yourong replied.Then, Xu Guangqi said to Xu Keqiu: "But this area is still relatively desolate, the Liao people are now basically concentrated in western Liao, especially after the East is troubled, this area is often plundered, and if you want to garrison troops in this area, in the long run, you have to let more and more people here to reclaim the land, according to the holy will, if the land of the border town wants to be permanent, there must be people first, and then there will be people to buy and sell, and there will be money and grain to pay taxes, so as to be able to practice the border!"
And the plan is to move the displaced people in Shandong first, so, Xu Zhongcheng, you have to organize and recruit the displaced people in Shandong as soon as possible to build ships, repair the docks, and do a good job of mobilization and encouragement, and be ready to let the surplus people in Shandong move to the wasteland of Liaodong at any time. ”"Yes!
Please rest assured. ”Xu Ke replied.After that, Xu Guangqi went to Liaodong to meet Xiong Tingbi and Sun Chuanting, and then returned to the capital through Shanhaiguan."
Your Majesty, the minister recommended that Shen Yourong, the chief soldier of Denglai, concurrently serve as the commander of Jinzhou Guard, responsible for the construction of the naval division in Lushunkou, and the displaced people recruited by Shandong Yousi should first be used for the construction of Lushunkou, and then the fields of reclamation should be divided into their cultivation, in order to achieve the purpose of the real border, and now the Dongyu has easily dared not go around Shenyang and Liaoyang and go deep into the hinterland of Jinzhou, it is the imperial court to take this opportunity to consolidate the coastal defense of Jinzhou, in order to prepare for the future to send a large army from the waterway to suppress the Dongyu!
In addition, when a shipyard is set up in Tianjin, it specializes in building warships!
Nowadays, there are many craftsmen in Tianjin, and all kinds of workshops are complete, which is suitable for the formation of a large dock. ”After Xu Guangqi came back from meeting Xiong Tingbi and Sun Chuanting, he put forward his views after discussing with Xiong Tingbi and others.Zhu Youxiao nodded approvingly: "This is naturally very appropriate, but it costs a lot of money and food, how is the expansion of the government-run textile industry organized?"
”Xu Guangqi hurriedly took out a list of them: "These are all people who have recently expressed their intention to invest in the government-run textile industry, but because there are many powerful people involved, the ministers dare not make decisions without authorization, and ask Your Majesty to show them." ”Zhu Youxiao took the list and looked at it, and for a while, he found that almost all of the people on the list were powerful and powerful.However, Zhu Youxiao also found that these intentional ones all have one thing in common, that is, they are mainly based on the northern gentry and gentry, and obviously intend to share the benefits of the Jiangnan gentry with His Majesty the Emperor, and do not care that the Jiangnan gentry and himself are also the same class.The capitalist can sell the rope that hangs himself.Today, some of the shrewd northern nobles and gentry are no exception.And Zhu Youxiao laughed because of this: "These pavilion elders, scholars, etc., who are still in the court and have not been cleaned up by me, are really shrewd!"
Including those honorable relatives, there are also many smart people. ”Then, Zhu Youxiao put the list on the table: "If you want to make money with me, you can, but if anyone is disloyal to me in the future and ignores the interests of the Ming Dynasty, don't blame me for being polite!"
It's easy to get rich with me now, but it's not so easy to get out of my grip in the future!
”"Your Majesty!
In this case, the minister will do as he is told. ”Xu Guangqi replied.Zhu Youxiao nodded: "But there are many people who are not involved, so you have to guard against these people." ”"Yes!"
Xu Guangqi replied again.......
"The imperial court should have a bigger move in the future, because whether it is the resettlement of displaced people in Tianjin, or the expansion of Yulinwei, and the next thing to spend a lot of silver, the Son of Heaven cannot only be satisfied with the little cotton yarn brought by the Xu family now, and the northern magnates and gentry who smell it are only afraid that they will also follow with the emperor to seize the benefits of the sea trade that the Jiangnan gentry have monopolized for many years!"
”Qian Longxi, who was the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites at the time, whispered to his protégé Ni Wenhuan in a dark room at this time.Ni Wenhuan nodded: "There is already this kind of rumor, I heard that Xu Guangqi has been secretly in contact with the British Gong Zhang Weixian, Fang Congzhe, Li Ruhua and other powerful people, saying that he wants to share part of the benefits of sea trade with the emperor, part with the common people, and part with them!"
”"How can this work!
The benefits of this sea trade have always belonged to the interests of the gentry in the south, but a little bit of it is in the stomach of the common people, how can the court take advantage of the people again!
Jiangnan was requisitioned, and the benefits of this sea trade were already due to the preferential treatment of the gentry, how could they be taken away!
Our majesty is really more greedy than the temple, although he does not take the benefit of the mining tax, but directly takes the greatest profit from us!
”Qian Longxi said with a solemn expression."
The Manchu Duke has secretly organized the scholars to set up a new society, presumably there must be some action, Qian Gong, we can't help but take action!
I can't watch them take away the benefits of my Jiangnan gentry!
”Ni Wenhuan said anxiously.Qian Longxi sighed: "Let's wait and see, now the court is controlled by thieves and others, if we move without permission, not to mention the ruins and disreputes, it will also make my Jiangnan momentum greatly reduced again, and now even Zhao Gongshang, the official who is close to us, can only call it sick, what else can we do." ”"Shaozuka Zai is because of the northerners, although he used to be close to Ye Gong and other Donglin gentlemen, but now that the benefits of our Jiangnan gentry have been taken away, he will naturally not have skin pain, and it is normal to call him sick, but we can't sit idly by, otherwise how can we be worthy of the entire Jiangnan Shilin!"
Ni Wenhuan said excitedly.When Qian Longxi heard Ni Wenhuan say this, he couldn't help but sigh again: "That's it!"
What you said also makes sense, as people from Jiangnan scholars, we can't help but plan for the Jiangnan gentry, otherwise why are we this official?
Is it really ruthless and unjust?
So that the lone husband will be even more rampant from now on?
Obviously, it is definitely not possible, but we can do things behind our backs, the most important thing in this textile matter is who has enough cotton and raw silk raw materials in their hands, we have to find a way to let the merchants in Jiangnan hoard more raw silk and cotton, so that the imperial court and these powerful gentry in the north want to go to Jiangnan to engage in textile things, even if they have good skills, there is no cotton and raw silk for them to use for weaving!
”"Qian Gong's strategy is very clever!
We are hoarding raw silk and cotton in large quantities, and in terms of financial resources, we are more generous than them!
What's more, most of the raw silk and cotton are controlled by us. ”Ni Wenhuan laughed because of this.At this time, Qian Tingji, the nephew of Qian Longxi, suddenly walked outside and knocked on the door: "Uncle!
”Qian Longxi and Ni Wenhuan hurriedly shut up.Ni Wenhuan also immediately hid behind the screen.After all, now the undercover agents in Dongchang are everywhere, and Ni Wenhuan came to see Qian Longxi and went directly to the back door, and many people in the Qian Mansion didn't know about it, so Qian Longxi had to be careful, and even his nephew had to be on guard."
Come in!"
After Ni Wenhuan hid behind the screen, Qian Longxi shouted: "Come in!"
”Then, Qian Tingji walked in and hurriedly said: "Uncle, just now there is news from outside, Shuixi Tusi An Bangyan has reversed, and there is chaos in the southwest again!"
”"Well, got it, you step down."
Qian Longxi nodded with joy."
Yes!"
Qian Tingji left here and took the initiative to close the door.And as soon as Qian Tingji left, Qian Longxi couldn't help but grin completely: "In the end, there are still restless toasts, I hope they can make a big fuss, don't be like the last time when they didn't even make a little movement, let us look forward to it." ”"This time it's different, Shuixi Toast is the largest toast in the southwest, and the strength is not comparable to the Yongning Toast of Extravagant Chongming, and it may be able to make a big move."
Saying that, Ni Wenhuan walked out from behind the screen at this time, and also said with a gloating smile."
I hope that this internal trouble can force the imperial court to stop temporarily, and not take the benefits of my Jiangnan gentry."
Qian Longxi said.
