Chapter 605 T-shaped scroll engagement

  If you don’t come, you don’t come. Four of them come once you come. When Feng Ziying received the letter, she could already feel the extraordinary importance from the court.

  Practicing state affairs led the team, followed by Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng, and Wu Sheng.

  They came very quickly, almost on the third day after Feng Ziying's third letter arrived, they started to head south.

   After reading the letter, Feng Ziying also found it very interesting.

Among the four people who came, Lian Guoshi and Fan Jingwen were scholars from the north, while He Fengsheng was a scholar from Huguang, and Wu Sheng was an out-and-out scholar from the south of the Yangtze River. With a reasonable match, no one could say anything, and the only one who would be criticized Probably all the students of Qingtan Academy, but Guan Yingzhen obviously ignored it.

   Putting down the letter, Feng Ziying glanced at Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing who were sitting opposite her, "I have some classmates and colleagues who will come to help us in a few days, so I can also breathe a sigh of relief."

  Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing were both classmates and colleagues, and they were basically Jinshi.

"Don't be too nervous. Basically, they haven't had much contact with the specific affairs below. The main purpose of coming here is to familiarize themselves with the training. Of course, their identities can indeed suppress the situation, but in terms of practical ability, they may be far worse than you. .”

  Wang Wenyan laughed, "Your Excellency, these students are all Jinshi, and they must all have abilities. It's just a process of adaptation,..."

"No, their scope and method of work are different from yours. They can only be bystanders and learners in many specific matters. I need to make this point clear to them when they come. Don't draw conclusions lightly. It needs more observation and understanding.”

Feng Ziying will not easily entrust heavy responsibilities or trust to her classmates. Maybe their mentality and enthusiasm are good, but they still lack too much to do these things well. The only advantage is their positive attitude, um, And identity.

"Don't worry, my lord, we understand how to do it." Wang Wenyan was a bureaucrat, and he knew the meaning of his new boss. These newcomers should be more looking for a kind of tempering, of course, it can be regarded as a kind of gold plating , such a brilliant result, as long as the participants go back, they will inevitably get a good result.

   "Well, they won't arrive in a few days, but we can't stop our business here, and I have to arrange some things for them first. After they get to know each other for a while, I may have to go back to Beijing."

  Guan Yingzhen also specifically mentioned this in his letter, asking him to return to the capital as soon as possible after arranging the affairs here, and make a comprehensive report to the cabinet and the emperor on Dongfan affairs.

   This is what Feng Ziying wants to achieve.

  Dongfan Salt is a bait, of course it is a very fat bait, but the comprehensive development of the entire Dongfan is the goal.

If Dongfan Island can be well developed and cultivated, it will be easy to absorb 300,000 to 500,000 landless refugees in the short term, that is, within ten years, and it may even reach the level of an inland government in thirty to fifty years, with a population of one million It's also a breeze.

The more critical thing is to control Dongfan. In the future, it will be much more convenient whether it is going south to Nanyang, Luzon and Sulu, or going north to control Ryukyu and influence Korea and Japan. Dongfan's good climate and rich products are also enough to make This island land became a real treasure island.

   "My lord is going back to Beijing?" Both Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing were a little surprised.

"Wenyan, Yaoqing, you don't think this is really an official yamen, and I'm really the person in charge of the yamen, right?" Feng Ziying laughed, "I'm just a temporary advance team sent by the Zhongshu Department, come first It is impossible for me to take everything into my own hands when doing this matter. It is neither possible nor in line with the imperial regulations. Many important matters cannot even be decided by the Zhongshu Division, and they need to be reported to the emperor and the cabinet. Only then can a decision be made. For things like Dongfan, I will definitely have to go back and report, but I will be back soon. I will start with the matter of opening the sea to raise debts. Then I can let a few of my classmates come to contact and take over slowly. As for the affairs of Yinzhuang, I have to be responsible,..."

  Feng Ziying has also considered it long ago. Whether it is Dongfan affairs, Kaihai bonds, or franchise fees, all of these can be handed over slowly, but he must grasp the matter of Yinzhuang.

  Even if you want to find someone to take over in the future, you must be absolutely credible.

  Whether it's practicing state affairs, Fan Jingwen, or He Fengsheng, they all need to be investigated.

  He knew that it was impossible for him to hold all of these in his hands. Guan Yingzhen sent so many people south at one time, and he was obviously aware of this.

  I didn't realize that there would be such a prominent achievement and the power it brought, so now I will naturally grasp it firmly, which is also normal and in line with expectations.

  Thinking of this, Feng Ziying couldn't help grinning, it seems that no one can escape the word fame and fortune, even a modest gentleman like Guan Yingzhen, um, why not Master Qi and Master Qiao?

   "My lord, according to your request, representatives from the eight households and twelve households have arrived."

   "It's all here?" The corners of Feng Ziying's mouth curled up slightly. After doing so much preparatory work in the early stage, the momentum has been created enough, and now it's time to wait for this wave.

   "Well, basically all of them have arrived. They are all according to your requirements. They are either the head of the family or those who can make decisions at home. There are only a few who have not arrived due to illness." Wang Wenyan hesitated.

"I'm sick?" Feng Ziying ignored Wang Wenyan's hesitant look, her eyes narrowed slightly, and Wang Wenyan felt a bit of coldness, "Maybe the number of eight and twelve families is too much, um, go invite Long Lord Su of the Forbidden Captain, come here, let me talk to him first."

The atmosphere of the salt merchants in the room was a little different from the last time the sea merchants gathered. The last time they were filled with fear and fear. After all, the franchise qualifications of the sea merchants are all in the hands of Zhongshuke, and no one wants to be eliminated. , but this time it is different.

  The strength and background behind the salt merchants are far beyond that of the sea merchants.

If it is said that maritime merchants are far from salt merchants in terms of capital strength, their background is more limited to the local area, and more is reflected by the local government or some connections in their own families. It is really a century of accumulation, and it involves not only local officials but directly going to Tongtian, and it is almost all entanglement of interests, not superficial affection.

  Based on this latter point, all salt merchants are qualified to be arrogant.

   Not to mention there is a key point.

   Kaihai Bond is a matter of the Zhongshu Department, not the matter of the salt transport envoy Siyamen.

  Even if you have a good relationship with Xunyan Yushi, you may even become the son-in-law of Mr. Yushi, so what?

   Not to mention that this relationship cannot be brought to the fore, and who doesn’t know that Mr. Lin is terminally ill now, and it’s been a few days. There are even rumors that the court has confirmed a new Xunyan Yushi, who is about to take office.

  In such a situation, you, the prospective son-in-law of the inspector censor who is about to call the curtain, who can you scare?

Of course, you are an official of the imperial court, and the strategy of opening the sea is indeed a grand plan of the imperial court. The Zhongshu Division holds the power to open the sea, which is related to the interests of the entire Jiangnan. , even if you put forward some requirements and ideas, as long as they are not excessive, everyone will follow.

   But you have to understand that there is a bottom line, and it cannot be overdone. This is not our job as a salt merchant.

   It is love to give you, it is duty not to give you.

  At least, when Feng Ziying looked around at the next dry salt merchants, she gained a lot of such feelings from the surface humility and politeness of these salt merchants.

   Each of these 20 salt merchants has taken over the car once, and several have even taken over the car twice, three times or even four times.

  When the Emperor Taishang visited the south of the Yangtze River, he stayed in Yangzhou, Jinling, Hangzhou, and Suzhou in the gardens of this or that family, and even wrote poems and paintings, leaving calligraphy.

Although most of these salt merchants Feng Ziying has never seen before, but after so long, Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing repeatedly introduced and instilled him, he is no stranger to these salt merchants, and he can even skillfully manage eight households and twelve households. The family members who are the last name, who is the place of origin, are very clear, and even some secrets are also clear to the chest.

  But this is not what Feng Ziying wants.

  These people are salt merchants, not other groups, and other effective means may not be suitable for these people.

   To kill a chicken to scare a monkey, one must distinguish between a chicken and a monkey. If a knife stabs a monkey, it may fail to kill the monkey, but it may splatter blood all over its body.

  Compared with sea merchants, the ability of salt merchants to understand, express, observe, and distinguish colors is indeed much stronger, at least on the bright side.

  As soon as Feng Ziying stepped into the flower hall, all the salt merchants, young and old, got up early and bowed to salute.

  Feng Ziying realized that this matter might not be easy to handle.

   It’s no wonder that Su Qianhu, who was previously in Nanzhili under the Long Jinwei, kept frowning and remained silent when he heard the introduction of the salt merchants.

   This is a tactful excuse. Feng Ziying has a certain amount of psychological preparation, but this is on the premise that Lu Song has given this person a clear order. It is still so ambiguous that it cannot but be shocking.

  Having been entrenched for a hundred years, if they can be overturned at will, these salt merchants are not worthy of sitting here, but to achieve their goals and complete the tasks above, Feng Ziying also knows that some people must be wiped out.

  Sometimes, being in this position is the original sin. As for other reasons, you can find a hundred.

"Everyone, I am very happy to see you all here... Maybe you are not familiar with me, or know him, but you don't know the purpose of my visit to the south..., um, even Many people will wonder why they found us, and whether the imperial court is going to do some kind of donation and apportionment again..."
