Rivers and lakes rich man

Chapter 92
Regarding this matter, Fang Jing is not in a hurry, and believes that Zijuan and the others will get more news soon, and he will be able to grasp what Tao Tong means by then.

It's not that Fang Jing can't give him a sum of money in exchange for not being disturbed.

It's not that he's afraid of Tao Tong, but that he's too lazy to argue with such a superior official. With this energy, Fang's firm could have earned more money long ago.

At noon, Fang Jing and others greeted Tao Tong to wash away the dust.

Fang Jing found that these hundreds of households looked at him differently from before.

How could Fang Jing not understand their changes?
These hundreds of households can still tell that Tao Tong is targeting him. If so, they will definitely keep a distance from him for the time being.

Although he said that he was the deputy Qianhu and had the power to command them, but Tao Tong, the Qianhu, had the final say.

After all, I am just a sub-Qianhu.

Of course, Fang Jing will also find a way to establish a good relationship with other hundred households, so as to generate wealth through harmony.

In the afternoon, Fang Jing went to the government office again.

Fang Jing's identity is different now, he is Deputy Qianhu of Wulin Wei. Wei Zhengdong heard that he was visiting and went out to greet him in person.

Otherwise, Fang Jing, as a commoner, would not be treated like this even if he had contributed to the Chen family's matter.

"My lord's face is full of red, it seems that there is a big happy event." Fang Jing asked with a smile.

"Haha~~ There's no such thing as a happy event, it's just that I'm in a good mood today." Wei Zhengdong laughed and said, "Master Fang, you're here, what advice do you have?"

Fang Jing is now the Deputy Qianhu, so he deserves his attention.

Wei Zhengdong invited Fang Jing to his study alone.

"I won't hide it anymore." Fang Jing said bluntly, "Master Wei, thank you for the Huanshan Port."

"Hey, this is also one of Mr. Fang's merits." Wei Zhengdong sighed, "I have heard of the prosperity of Huanshan Port in the past. I believe that in the hands of Mr. Fang, even if it cannot restore the prosperity of the past, at least it will be more deserted than it is now. It’s strong there. Restoring the port will not only increase income for Qingshan County, but also benefit villagers like Huanshan Village. Tell me, as long as I can do it here, I will definitely help.”

"I want to build a shipyard in Huanshan Port," Fang Jing said.

"Oh, the approval from the shipyard? It's a simple matter, and it can be done in Qingshan County." Wei Zhengdong asked with some doubts.

Regarding the matter of the shipyard, Fang Jing went to the government office, didn't he look far away?

"Tao Qianhu just took office, and I just happened to come to visit. I'm afraid Master Lu is busy with work, so it's hard for me to spare time to help me with such a small matter." Fang Jing said with a smile.

"Oh? Has Tao Qianhu taken office? I heard about it a long time ago, and I will pay a visit later." Wei Zhengdong frowned and said, "Since Mr. Lu is a little busy, the approval of the shipyard will be handled by the government. Let’s do it easily.”

Wei Zhengdong still understood the meaning of Fang Jing's words.

As Fang Jing's martial arts deputy Qianhu, how could Lu Sanze, the county magistrate of Qingshan County, not help because of his busy work?
Obviously there is some conflict between Lu Sanze and Fang Jing.

Wei Zhengdong felt that Lu Sanze was quite courageous, daring to compete with Wu Linwei.

He also knew a little about Lu Sanze, after all, he was his subordinate, and he came from the capital.

Coming from the capital, I always feel that I am superior to others, and Lu Sanze's family also has some influence.

When he took office, when Lu Sanze came to see him, he could feel the arrogance of the other party.

If he hadn't been his superior, he probably wouldn't have taken himself seriously.

"Thank you, Mr. Wei, I want to know more about the ship." Fang Jing thanked.

"Big boat?" Wei Zhengdong frowned slightly, "Master Fang, the imperial court expressly prohibits the construction of big boats."

"I know." Fang Jing nodded and said, "It's just that the king of Chu defeated the blood shark pirate forces in Quanzhou Prefecture this time. I heard that the imperial court intends to lift this ban. Is it true?"

"Lord Fang is very well informed." Wei Zhengdong laughed and said, "It is true that there is such a thing, but there are quite a few people who oppose it. We are still waiting for the final decision of the Holy Majesty."

Although Wulinwei is well-informed, it is also a group of people in Wulinwei who are responsible for intelligence collection, and they will report to the upper echelons of Wulinwei.

Local deputy thousand households like Fang Jing didn't get the news so quickly.

This incident happened just now at the court, Wei Zhengdong only learned about it from the imperial envoy, unexpectedly Fang Jing also knew about it.

Does this mean that Fang Jing also has sources in the capital?
Thinking about the masters behind Fang Jing, Wei Zhengdong felt that this matter was quite possible.

In fact, Fang Jing really has no subordinates in the capital now, and the source of the news is also from the imperial envoy.

Zijuan and the others have been sending people to watch the imperial envoy, so that the imperial envoy can get the latest news from the capital.

Fang Jing still doesn't have the strength to go to the capital to deploy troops, so it's the best way to keep an eye on the imperial envoy.

"Does your lord think this can be done?" Fang Jing asked, "For sea transportation, a large ship is still needed."

Wei Zhengdong understood Fang Jing's thoughts, and also understood Fang Jing's ambitions.

The clue can be seen from Fang Jing's desire to operate Huanshan Port.

For merchants, large ships are the safest way to transport by sea.

If it is like some small boats in the river, how can it withstand the wind and waves in the sea?

Once the ship capsizes, the damage will be severe.

"His Royal Highness King Chu's return to court after a big victory this time, I believe the voice of opposition will be much reduced." Wei Zhengdong thought for a while, "However, it may not be realistic for the Holy Majesty to completely relax this prohibition, and the Holy Majesty has to take into account the opposition. people's mood."

"It seems that Mr. Wei should know something, I wonder if you can tell me?" Fang Jing asked.

"Actually, it's just a guess. Two days ago, I discussed this matter with the imperial envoy. My imperial envoy and I think that the emperor will partially lift the ban."

"Part?" Fang Jing's expression changed slightly.

"Yes, for example, select a few counties along the coast to allow the construction of large ships." Wei Zhengdong said.

"How many?" Fang Jing's expression turned pale, "Is it very few?"

"I don't know how many, how many, and certainly not too many." Wei Zhengdong said.

Fang Jing pondered for a while and said, "Master Wei, can you explain the possibility of the state capital?"

"It is said that all the prefectures and counties along the coast are possible. Because of this, the possibility of state capital alone is very small." Wei Zhengdong said with a wry smile.

Fang Jing thinks about it too, how many prefectures and counties are there along the coast?
Compared with the number given by the imperial court, there are really too many monks and too little porridge.

"Can you fight for it?" Fang Jing asked, "If it means that the state capital has won a quota, then it is basically Huanshan Port, right?"

"That must be won by the Mingzhou government." Wei Zhengdong shook his head and said, "If you really want to win, Mr. Fang, you have to pay a big price to go to the capital to manage it, and it may not be successful."
