Chapter 180 Prince Mu and the Navy
Regarding Zhu Zhanchang's sudden request, why was Mu Bin's stunned place different from what he thought before he came?
Originally, he had made up his mind that he would definitely be embarrassed by Zhu Zhanchang. It was possible for him to be embarrassed in words and in behavior. His father had warned him in advance. Yunnan.

On the way, I heard that Wangdangjie, Zhujiang County, beheaded the political envoy, and I felt that this person must be extremely difficult to get along with, and I would not feel better this time.

But there is no way to make things difficult, how can there be any disrespect to him, a clear guest, a clear guest, and now he will give him an official position when he opens his mouth.

He can't understand this number, let alone him, his father can't understand it even when he comes.

"His Royal Highness, Mu Bin's talent is not enough, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to be competent."

"Don't be humble. I have heard that the prince is both civil and military, and he is upright. Let's do it. I plan to build a new navy, and you will be my admiral."

"Ah? Absolutely not, absolutely not." Mu Bin suspected that Zhu Zhanchang was trying to kill him.

"That's right, you're too young, so let's say, my navy will have three fleets at the beginning, and you will be the captain of one of the fleets, with an official position similar to the commander of the guard."

Mu Bin still shied away: "No, no, Your Highness, it is really difficult for Wei Chen to take on this responsibility."

"It's settled, you send someone back to talk to the Duke of Qian, you can stay by yourself, if you have a wife and children to take over, take them over together, that's it, I still have something to do, I'll go out first already."

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

"Oh, by the way, arrange for someone to cook the mushrooms for Shizi, remember to cook them thoroughly, eat first and drink first, I have something to go out for."

After speaking, Zhu Zhanchang took the people away, and did not give Mu Bin any time to speak. This wave made Mu Bin really in the dark.

After leaving the door, Zhu Zhanchang got into the carriage, and Chu Er asked, "Your Highness, where are you going?"

"Go to Nanjia."

"Do you want to bring more guards, Your Highness?" Xiaosheng was a little worried, after all, he and the Nan family should be enmity now.

"Yang Lu has been informed to lead the troops, and the entire Nan family is our soldiers."

Because Zhu Zhanchang thought that Huang Huihong had a problem, Zhu Zhanchang asked Yang Lu, the former secretary of the Ministry of War, to take charge of the soldiers of the Guangdong vassal. In name, Huang Huihong still commanded the envoys, but Huang Huihong also knew that Zhu Zhanchang wanted to use himself.

Huang Huihong's information, Zhu Zhanchang, has been obtained from Fang Shili. There are many things such as corruption and bribery, but in general, he is in a good position as the chief of the third division, and he has no other bad achievements.

He is quite cautious, has merits and demerits, and does not plan to go to war for the time being, so I hope that he can smoothly step down from the position of commander of the capital and hand over smoothly. If the military power is turbulent, things will be troublesome.

Huang Huihong saw Zhu Zhanchang's intention, but fortunately, it was still cooperative, neither side was embarrassing each other, and the person who knew the current affairs was Junjie.

After Nan Shenghuai's death, the Nan family went from a prosperous family to disintegration overnight. All branches wanted to split up and break away from the Nan family. Zhu Zhanchang supported Nan Zhizhi to become a family, and nominally let him go first. exist.

It's also useful.

After getting off the carriage, Nanfu was not in the prosperous area of ​​Guangzhou, but outside the city.

At the entrance of Nanfu, there were soldiers from Guangdong Guard Station. Zhu Zhanchang raised his head and glanced at the vermilion gate and the high-hanging plaque with the words Nanfu.

"The Zhumen has a high plaque, but what they do is to steal chickens and dogs."

Today's warm rain falls on the ground, on the door, and on the plaque. The summer rain in Guangdong is not as gentle as that in Yingtian.

Chu Er held an umbrella, and the group followed behind and walked in.

The decoration of Nanfu is different from that of Yingtianfu's rich and powerful courtyard. It lacks the petty sentiments of Jiangnan, and has more local customs and habits, and Guan Erye is offered in the central hall.

Walking into the hall, everyone in the room stood up, old and young.

Among them, Zhu Zhanchang knew the current head of the Nan family, Nan Shishi, who was holding his face, Ma Xiang, Zhao Quan, who he sent, and Cao Xinyue, who was sitting dignifiedly.

"I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County."

Zhu Zhanchang went straight to the main seat and sat down: "All seated."

Everyone was seated, and of course there were still many standing. There were no fewer than 30 people in the central hall, and there were no more than ten seats.

Zhu Zhanchang has a reputation for beheading Jin Wu. These people are afraid of him to death. Most of them are seeing Zhu Zhanchang for the first time. They originally imagined him to be that fierce and vicious.

The advantage of being prestige here is that the prestige is out there, and people who haven't met you will scare you three points.

But when I saw the young man today, he was gentle and elegant, handsome and handsome, and he seemed to be incompatible with the person who beheaded the political envoy in the street.

"All of you are well-known figures in the business circles of the Guangdong branch. It is very rare to be able to meet you today."

"His Royal Highness, it is a great honor for us ordinary people to meet you."

"Yeah yeah."

Everyone began to praise Zhu Zhanchang, Zhu Zhanchang smiled slightly, and gave both kindness and power, so that they would not be flattered by these people.

"Everyone, thank you very much for giving me this face. I am new here, and I still have a lot to rely on in the future."

Finally, Zhu Zhanchang said a word, these people are about to continue to flatter, Zhu Zhanchang stretched out a hand to signal silence, and he had to talk after the polite words.

"I am in Guangzhou, and I plan to expand agriculture, commerce, and industry. If you are well informed, you can go to see the steam engine factory, the shipyard, and the shopkeepers of the firms that we are building. You can do business with confidence. As long as it is legal, don't do it. Tax evasion, all your business activities in the Guangdong vassal will be protected by the Zhujiang County Prince’s Mansion and the commanding envoys of Guangdong.”

For the first time, the shopkeepers of the commercial bank heard that they want large-scale business, and the army will protect their legal business, but another meaning of Zhu Zhanchang is illegal business, so please don't do it for me.

"You are not joking, I will count what I say. At the same time, Ma Xiang is building the Guangdong branch of the Daming Central Bank. Zhao Quan will establish Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China, etc. in various provinces. I will meet with low-interest loans to help everyone do business."

"At the same time, I also have a few key directions, you can pay attention to it."

"The first is the infrastructure construction industry, that is, infrastructure construction, bridge building and road building, bricks, tiles and timber. There will be additional subsidies for these projects, and the specific measures will be released in two months."

"The second is agricultural tools, helping agriculture, or improving planting, if the yield of one mu of land can be improved, there will be incentives and subsidies."

"The third is the construction of ships. This one does not need to be explained."

"Fourth is education. The sage said that there is no difference between teaching and learning. I want to educate in Daxing, Guangdong, and I plan to formulate a three-year basic compulsory education plan in the vassal. All children who reach the age of ten, regardless of gender, as long as there is no adulterer in the family. If there is a precedent for breaking the law, you can enter the nearest school to study, and the tuition fee will be subsidized. If you have ideas, you can build more schools."

"The fifth is steel smelting, and this one doesn't need to be explained."

"The above five items are key development projects related to your business, and the sixth item is also somewhat related to you."

At this time, Xiaosheng handed over a flag, which was rectangular, with blue and white stripes on the lower half, and the word "Ming" written in red on the top.

"This is the naval flag of the Guangdong vassal. I want to build a navy to protect the coast of the Guangdong vassal, and at the same time vigorously crack down on the smuggling trade. Any smugglers will implicate their family members, and their descendants will not be allowed to go to school or take examinations, and they will be fined more than one hundred taels of silver. You can be beheaded for public display.”

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and they were beheaded if they exceeded a hundred taels, but the purpose of smuggling was to make a lot of money. How could a trip of goods be less than a hundred taels worth.

That is to say, smuggling is a death sentence, and it is estimated that the associated merchants will be arrested later, which tells them that the main thing is smuggling.

The people below immediately understood what Zhu Zhanchang meant. He was warning these people that if they were still involved with the smugglers, they would cut them off as soon as possible. start after.

In two months, what will happen in two months?

In fact, these big firms are still very happy with Zhu Zhanchang's approach, and they will develop projects that will be subsidized by the policy, and they clearly say that they want to work hard in this direction.

This is part of the planned economy.

I have planned the direction, and you will work towards the goal of my plan.

At the same time, I have also drawn my bottom line. If you want to touch my bottom line, I will be welcome.

Zhu Zhanchang looked at Nanzhi, the "head of the family" of the Nan family did not look like the head of the family at all, and the uncles behind him were going to split up the family. .

In front of people like Zhu Zhanchang, he is considered a ball. A teenage scholar sounds good outside. He was born as the grandson of the emperor, and a scholar is not even qualified to enter the courtyard of his mansion.

Now he knew that he didn't die was just Fang Shi's wife begging for mercy, and they needed a well-controlled Nan family head.

"Patriarch Nan, Patriarch Nan..."

"His Royal Highness, Caomin is here." Nan Zhizhi came back to his senses.

"I don't know what Patriarch Nan thinks about my plan just now."

Nan Zhiyi bowed and saluted: "His Royal Highness plans are all for the people of Guangdong, Caomin must do their best to support His Highness."

"That's good. The Nan family is also a scholarly heirloom. I want the Nan family to build new-style schools in various prefectures and counties in Guangdong. Of course, Miss Cao Xinyue will be in charge of this. You just need to help out."

Cao Xinyue took the lead, and your Nan family paid for it. To put it bluntly, that's it.

"Caomin, follow your orders." Nan Zhi did not dare to disobey.

This is what Zhu Zhanchang and Cao Xinyue discussed. Cao Xinyue asked Zhu Zhanchang what business she did, but Zhu Zhanchang told her not to do business in person. The daily business of tea, ceramics, cotton, silk, etc. The shopkeeper below went to run the business and asked her to purchase land in Xiangjiang Island in advance to facilitate port trade.

As for herself, Zhu Zhanchang asked her to build a school to manage her own reputation.

He needs a model, a businessman who has made money to spend money to fund education, and Cao Xinyue is the best model.

Cao Xinyue should also go down, and everyone praised it should be more compatible with him.
