marquis of jingan

Chapter 602

With the "full support" of Zhou Futai, this newly established Zhejiang Shipping Department is running very smoothly.

It even went so smoothly that Sun Jin, the chief eunuch, was a little confused.

Ten days after the Shibo Division opened the market, the tax money entered by the Shibo Division has exceeded 5 taels of silver.

It was precisely because the operation was so smooth that eunuch Sun Jin, on October 25th, went directly to Shen Yuan to ask to see Shen Yi.

As Sun Jin, seeing Shen Yi naturally would not cause any hindrance. After he arrived in Shen Yuan, Shen Yi and Master Shen even went out to greet him in person.

After welcoming Sun Jin into the garden, Shen Yi invited him to the living room to serve tea. After the two of them sat down, Mr. Shen smiled at Sun Jin and said, "Grandpa Sun is not busy with the city, why did you come to me? Is it because Shibo has encountered some difficulties and needs me to deal with them?"

"No problems encountered."

Eunuch Sun shook his head slightly, then lowered his eyebrows and said: "Mr. Shen, not only did the Shibo Department not encounter any difficulties, but it went smoothly. The number of merchant ships entering Wenzhou Prefecture will be less than before, but what I did not expect is that in the past ten days, not only the number of merchant ships going out to sea has doubled, but the number of merchant ships entering the country has also increased a lot. These merchant ships pay merchant taxes..."

"Extremely happy."

Master Shen lowered his head and took a sip of water, and said with a smile: "Isn't this a good thing? The Shibo Department's errands are done well, and when Eunuch Sun returns to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit, he will most likely be rewarded."

Sun Jin shook his head slightly, and then looked at Shen Yi: "The Shibo Department was first built, and our family will not return to Jiankang for the New Year this year. Anyway, we have to watch it in Yueqing. After all, there are more errands to be done next year."

Speaking of this, Eunuch Sun took a deep breath, and then continued: "It's just that the Bosi of Wenzhou Prefecture has behaved quite strangely in the past ten days. You know, Mr. Shen, that the slaves have been in the palace for so many years. When doing things, I am not very clear about many local conditions, and I am not sure how to be sure.”

"Therefore, I came here specially to ask Shen Xianggong, is there any twists and turns that our family has not figured out, and after we figured out these things, our family can continue to do business in this Zhejiang border, otherwise it is so unclear I'm so confused..."

"I can't help feeling sorry for His Majesty's trust."

He looked at Shen Yi, and continued: "Mr. Shen, you are a close minister of the emperor. You should always stand aside with our family's private servants these days. Please give me your advice, Mr. Shen."

Shen Yi lowered his head and took a sip of his tea, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Sun, you are too cautious with your temperament. If you can't handle the errands well, you can just think more. Why do you have to think so much if you do the errands well?"

"It's not Sun Jin's personal matter."

Eunuch Sun bowed his head respectfully: "When doing errands for His Majesty, I dare not be sloppy at all, let alone muddle-headed. I am blunt by nature. Before leaving Beijing, Your Majesty has explained that if you encounter anything that you don't understand, just ask Shen. My husband."

Sun Jin stood up straight away, bowed to Shen Yi and said, "Mr. Shen, please give me advice."

Shen Yi got up, helped Sun Jin to sit down, and then smiled and said: "There are indeed some local government influences in the matter of Shibosi, but Eunuch Sun can rest assured that although these local governments are not [-]% to Shibosi I have a kind heart, but I dare not think badly about the imperial court or Your Majesty."

Master Shen paused, and continued: "As for the current situation of the Shibo Department, Eunuch Sun may as well regard it as the... filial piety of these local officials to His Majesty."

Sun Jin was startled, then seemed to understand something, he raised his head to look at Shen Yi, then lowered his head again: "Then, do you want to report this matter to Your Majesty?"

"It depends on what you think, Eunuch Sun."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "If you think that the Shibo Secretary is doing a good job, then if the palace doesn't ask about this matter, you don't rush to report it. After all, the accounts of the Shibo Secretary will be beautiful, and His Majesty will be happy after reporting it. Eunuch Sun, you also have some benefits."

Sun Jin opened his mouth and was about to speak when he heard Shen Yi continue: "However, Eunuch Sun should not say that it was said by Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen didn't know anything about it."

This sentence means that if Sun Jin brought Shen Yi out in front of the emperor afterwards, Shen Yi would never admit it.

After all, this kind of thing already involves deceiving the emperor to some extent.

Sun Jin quickly lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, I won't say a word about Mr. Shen outside."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "However, it doesn't matter if Eunuch Sun goes up, the reward that His Majesty should give Eunuch Sun will not be less."

"Everything depends on you, Eunuch Sun, your sincerity to His Majesty."

Sun Jin was silent for a while, then made up his mind, and said, "Mr. Shen, we are the private servants of the Tian family, and we must not hide anything from the master."

Master Shen narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Then Grandpa Sun will report it."

In fact, regarding the situation of the Zhejiang government, Shen Yi had already sent a secret letter to Jiankang and handed it to the emperor's desk.

It's not because he is honest, it's because there are inner guards by his side, there is no room for bullying.

Therefore, Shen Yi can only act as a loyal minister down-to-earth.

The choice of eunuch Sun Jinsun will affect his future.

If Sun Jin chooses to be greedy for merit and does not upload the real information, then as long as the number of Shibo Division cannot keep up with the period when the market just opened, then Sun Jin may face interrogation from the palace.

And if he told the truth, he would have a brighter future.

What Shen Yi said to him was somewhat tentative.

After a few gossips, Shen Yi added a cup of tea for himself, and said lightly: "By the way, Eunuch Sun, I will go out in a few days and I will not be in Yueqing anymore. It may take a month or so to come back. For a while, if there is anything to do with the Shibo Department, you can go to the Anti-Japanese Army to find Xue Wei and Xue Qianhu."

Master Shen smiled and said: "Before I leave, I will greet Xue Qianhu and ask him to cooperate with Shibo as much as possible."

Sun Jin was startled, and then asked: "Shen Xianggong, this General Xue...isn't he already the deputy commander?"

"Suspended by me."

Shen Yi said lightly: "He made a mistake and needs to learn some lessons, but he is not demoted. He is still in charge of the anti-Japanese army in Yueqing. If you have anything to do with Eunuch Sun, just ask him."

Sun Jin nodded first, and then asked, "Where is Mr. Shen going? Back to Jiankang?"

"Jiankang won't go back until the Chinese New Year."

Shen Yi shook his head first, then smiled and said, "I'm going to Fuzhou Mansion."

Eunuch Sun was a little curious: "What is Mr. Shen doing in Fuzhou Mansion at this time?"

"Remove the obstacles for the development of the Fujian Shipping Department."

Shen Yi laughed softly: "A few days ago, my anti-Japanese army defeated the Japanese pirates along the coast of Fuzhou and captured nearly a thousand Japanese pirates. They are on their way to Fuzhou Prefecture. This time, I will personally deal with these Japanese pirate prisoners. By the way... "

Master Shen looked calm: "By the way, clean up the fish that slipped through the net under the knife of Jin Shizi last year."

This time, Ling Su and others not only defeated the Japanese pirates, but also gained a lot.

Among these gains, there is a list of the big households in Fuzhou Prefecture.

Shen Yi is going to personally go to Fuzhou to supervise and kill Japanese pirates, by the way...

Let's deal with the tyranny in these places.

After listening to Shen Yi's calm words, Mrs. Sun inexplicably felt a chill down her spine.

So, he bowed his head respectfully to Shen Yi.

"I wish Mr. Shen a smooth journey."

"Smooth is naturally smooth."

"After all, the battle is over."

Master Shen folded his hands in his sleeves, looked at the south quietly, and smiled faintly.

"I'm going this time, just to deal with things that Ling Su is inconvenient to handle, and by the way, use the chicken blood of these Japanese pirates to scare those monkeys..."
