Chapter 496: T-roll fulcrum, prying

  Chapter 496 T-roll fulcrum, prying

  Wang Wenyan quickly became Feng Ziying's right-hand man in Ningbo, and also won Feng Ziying's recognition to a certain extent.

   This is a very gratifying start for both parties, thanks to Wang Wenyan's series of actions starting from Hangzhou.

  The two got together in Hangzhou for a few days, and their relationship became closer, but Wang Wenyan didn't mention Miaoyu to Feng Ziying, but directly arranged for someone to go north to the capital to find Miaoyu.

   This is what Lin Ruhai explained, and it is not appropriate to tell Feng Ziying for the time being. As for Feng Ziying and the Lin family, after the official marriage agreement, it is more appropriate to hand over these matters to Feng Ziying.

   During this journey, Feng Ziying became more and more familiar with the situation of the whole Dazhou, and also became more and more understanding. He also had a general understanding of the operation mode of the government offices at the prefecture and county levels.

To him, the operation mode of the Dazhou local political system is more like a task that has been decomposed, such as land tax, education and imperial examinations, trial of cases and civil lawsuits, local public security, infrastructure construction of post roads and water conservancy, These items can be basically sorted according to the degree of importance, but in actual operation, the emphasis may be somewhat different during a specific period of time.

  The gentry has a strong dominant force in the local area, even the government has to compromise with it, and the merchants are trying to gradually infiltrate and grow their influence.

  This delicate balance and rebalancing is actually achieved in a subtle trade-off pattern.

  Of course, the reason why this kind of balance and rebalancing can be achieved is largely because many gentry are actually merchants behind them, and the mixing of the two roles is becoming more and more obvious.

   However, it is rare to see great gentry who live purely on the fields, or merchants who do not own an acre of land, especially the latter.

Even if it is not for making money or buying property, buying dozens of acres of land and building a big house is a status symbol, or it is a ladder for merchants to become gentry. If you are a scholar, it is best to be a scholar, then you have basically completed the transformation from ordinary merchants to gentry.

  This situation is very common in both Nanzhili and Zhejiang.

It can be said that Cui Jingrong and the others might not feel so much about this round of trip to the south of the Yangtze River, but to Feng Ziying, it is not only a thorough investigation of the industry's livelihood, but also a test of the social conditions, public opinion and government governance capabilities of the entire Jiangnan province. Find out.

  For example, Dongchang Mansion, Jinling Mansion, and Suzhou Mansion obviously have more advantages in all aspects, while Yangzhou Mansion, Songjiang Mansion, and Hangzhou Mansion are inferior, while Huaian Mansion and Ningbo Mansion are relatively inferior.

Of course, these places also have their own characteristics. For example, Yangzhou’s business development is indeed unique and unmatched; Songjiang Prefecture’s cotton textile industry is the best in the world, and has formed a huge and stable industrial chain and sales system; Beautiful, soft and charming; Suzhou has a strong humanistic atmosphere, a prevailing style of study, and a good law and order situation. Suzhou Tutor Lu Wei is known as the number one arrester in Southern Zhili. There are not many robbers who fell under his hands, and he himself is also a disciple of Southern Shaolin laymen. The first master.

  Ningbo’s shipbuilding industry also touched Feng Ziying a lot.

Although subject to the influence of the sea ban, Ningbo still retains a solid shipbuilding industry foundation, whether it is folk craftsmen or ordinary workers, as well as supporting wood, glue, paint, rope, canvas, and iron nails from processing to sales. The merchants here are all available, and there is no shortage here in Ningbo. Compared with the situation in Longjiang and Qingjiang shipyards, I don't know how much better it is. This also makes Feng Ziying overjoyed.

"Ziying, that Mr. Wang Wenyan Wang, I see that he has been coming to see you almost every day during this time. Well, does your family have a business here in Zhejiang?" Fan Jingwen couldn't help it, and asked .

   Cui Jingrong, Wu Liangsi, Wei Guangwei and others actually noticed it, but no one asked.

  Who doesn't have some livelihood these days?

   Even if you were poor before passing the exam, as long as you pass the Juren exam, you can quickly find a powerful in-law. If you are already married, it doesn't matter, and someone will naturally match you up.

  If you are a Jinshi, it goes without saying that your entire family will complete the evolution of a gentry family in a short period of time, and the land property and business will expand rapidly.

  Both Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng felt this way, so they were not surprised, they were just curious, and like Cui Jingrong, they were not even curious.

"I'm also in Zhejiang for the first time. Where can I make a living? But my younger brother is very optimistic about Ningbo. I don't know if Mengzhang and Ke Yao have noticed. Compared with Qingjiang and Longjiang shipyards, although the private shipyards here look It seems that it is far inferior to Qingjiang and Longjiang in terms of scale, but the vitality revealed by it is not comparable to that of Qingjiang and Longjiang, and you can know it by looking at the situation in the dock."

  Feng Ziying shook her head, "The Ministry of Industry raised a lot of beetles, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate also raised a bunch of blind people."

"It's the Nanjing Ministry of Industry and the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate." He Fengsheng frowned, "I see Master Wei and Lord Sun's faces are ashen. It is obvious that compared with the situation in Jinling, Huai'an and Ningbo, the Ministry of Industry spends so much money every year , but they have raised a bunch of things that are not even as good as shit, look at Ningbo, some private merchants can make such a big battle, and this is still under the sea ban."

"Hmph, this also shows from another angle that these shipyards are building sea-going ships for smuggling, not fishing boats at all. Look at those piled up logs, can they be used by fishing boats?" Fan Jingwen also snorted coldly. With a sound, he flicked his sleeves with a gloomy expression on his face.

  Feng Ziying realized that Fan Jingwen's ideas seemed to be a little out of step. He was too entangled in the gap between the north and the south. In comparison, He Fengsheng was much more magnanimous. Maybe this has something to do with He Fengsheng being from Huguang?

"Mengzhang, the sea situation in the north may be different from that in the south, but the shipbuilding industry in Denglai and Liaodong has been abandoned for a long time, and it will be difficult to operate in a short time. I am afraid that in the future, these private businessmen and craftsmen will have to rely on it." Okay, at the Ministry of Industry, I guess even Uncle Xian himself has been disappointed, no, it should be hopeless, the gap is too big."

Feng Ziying cleverly brought up this topic, which immediately changed Fan Jingwen's spirit and attitude, and asked anxiously: "Ziying, how can these profit-seeking businessmen be willing to go to Denglai Liaodong to set up a shipyard? I think what you said I'm afraid it's unrealistic, the imperial court cannot agree, and the imperial court's policy you mentioned is also vague, these businessmen are not fools, and they will not waste their money."

  He Fengsheng also noticed this, pursing his lips and smiling.

This kid, Ziying, has really been playing with Mengzhang in his hands during this period of time. Just a word can make Mengzhang so worried, it can make him sleepless at night, and then pull back any point of view, and make Mengzhang feel sad again. Rejoice, let dream chapter cheer.

   Manipulating people's hearts, nothing more than this.

   No wonder the officials and teachers said that he was a 60-year-old official in his sixteen-year-old body, so that he could learn from Ziying.

  Looking at the fact that he originally asked him about Wang Wenyan's background and the purpose of following him to Zhejiang, he changed the subject without compromising.

"Brother Mengzhang, don't worry, there are always more solutions than problems." Feng Ziying skillfully used a classic language that she often used in various speeches in her previous life. In fact, there is no need to give up any benefits, or it is a worthless name for the court, but in the hands of these private businessmen, it can generate infinite motivation and benefits, it depends on how we operate. "

  Feng Ziying's smooth and vague words can always arouse Fan Jingwen's interest and excitement, "Ziying, this is what you said, I know you have a lot of ideas, after you go back..."

"After I go back, I will explain it in the "Internal Reference". In addition, you and Ke Yao have to prepare for the dream chapter. What you have seen, heard and felt, in the "Internal Reference", you have to come up with a few decent articles. It is necessary to focus on the center of Kaihai, but it cannot be limited to Kaihai. All walks of life and even the governance capabilities of local governments involved must be based on their own viewpoints, sharper, sharper,..."

   "Ziying, what do you mean..." Both Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng were a little surprised, feeling that the other party's tone had changed.

"Well, the situation in Ningbo can basically represent the situation in Fujian and Zhejiang. The situation in Quanzhou and Zhangzhou is not much different. If we want to go to Fujian, we will only go to one place, and it is only superficial, so From now on, we will start preparing for things after we go back."

  Feng Ziying doesn’t really want to go to Fujian anymore, because according to the news from Wang Wenyan, the situation in Fujian is complicated and security is difficult to guarantee, especially in Zhangzhou.

Although Wang Wenyan said that he has sent signals and invitations to the several companies over there through channels, but if a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall, no one can guarantee whether these people will take risks. After all, each family is related to hundreds of people. livelihood.

  Wang Wenyan's opinion is to wait for news in Ningbo.

  Some people have already given a more positive response, of course, more people are still waiting and watching.

  In addition, the situation in Quanzhou is similar, except that the Quanzhou government has a stronger control. Long Jinwei has a station in Quanzhou, and he has already prepared in advance in Quanzhou.

  The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. It is not necessarily true that these people who roam the sea are all desperadoes, but they are definitely more adventurous than ordinary merchants. This kind of adventure is also manifested in various aspects, including taking risks for profit.

  Feng Ziying didn't want to risk his life for the gimmick of doing everything by himself. Now he already has the confidence and qualifications to let them come to Ningbo.

   The first update asks for votes!
