Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

In mid-June, Zheng Kezang agreed to Xu Qing’s request to relocate the British and French offices to Penghu after careful consideration. At the same time, under financial pressure, despite the objections of Hong Lei and other veterans, he reached a commercial agreement with the Spaniards. Penghu opened an embassy, ​​and Mingzheng personnel also stationed in the Port of Manila within a month. A pair of old enemies temporarily turned their hostility into friendship.

"Lin Qing is also an old man in the guest department." In view of the conflict between Xu Qing and Ying Tainong, Zheng Kezang had to relieve Xu Qing and Lin Weirong, the secretary of construction, to switch positions. "Although I haven't handled barbarian affairs before, I should get started quickly. I believe that you can manage the Department of Commerce well." However, the transfer of Xu Qing cannot completely rule out potential conflicts within the Department of Commerce, so Zheng Kezang deliberately put Lin Weirong and Mrs. Ying together. Nong called alone to explain. "With Lin Qing in charge of the overall situation, Ying Qing will be responsible for spying on the public opinion and liaising with the staff in the future. The two Qing families must work together."

Ying Tainong smiled faintly at Lin Weirong: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will naturally look to Lord Lin as the leader in the future."

As for Zheng Kezang's favored minister who could squeeze Xu Qing away, Lin Weirong did not dare to neglect, and also expressed his position: "Please rest assured, my lord, I will never step in and do things that should not be intervened."

Although the two people now look sincere and united, Zheng Kezang knows that there are conflicts where there are people, and the conflict between Lin and Ying will happen sooner or later, but it is covered up by him now, but Zheng Kezang does not I hope that the relationship between the subjects is too close, so with a faint smile, Quan should have exposed this turmoil.

"Since that's the case, you should go your separate ways." Zheng Kezang waved the two of them back, but Ying Tainong withdrew, but Lin Weirong didn't leave. "Why, Lin Qing has something else to do?"

"Just now, my lord told my ministers that the Taixi carriages imitated by our domain were very popular after they were shipped to Japan. Although the Edo general didn't ride them very much, the feudal lords from all over the country were happy to see them. They have already ordered [-] carriages, many of them are The most luxurious silver-plated style, I ask the Lord to urge Yantesi to pay attention to it and ship it to Japan as soon as possible."

Zheng Kezang knew about the big sale of carriages in Japan.He is not surprised by this, you must know that compared to the Japanese sedan chair that looks like a pigeon cage, the spacious Western carriage is naturally more pleased by the Japanese daimyo who have suffered from cross-legged.But Ying Tainong had already reported this matter, so what did Lin Weirong mean by mentioning it at this time?After thinking for a while, Zheng Kezang knew that there was more to come, so he just nodded slightly, waiting for Lin Weirong to complete the words.

Sure enough, after using the carriage to make a speech, Lin Weirong said again: "My lord agreed to Uncle Min Qing and the others to intervene in the trade between this feudal clan and Nagasaki. But in this way, the profits of the domain’s trade with Japan will be reduced, and it is said that the Tagawa family also has some opinions.”

The original status of the Tianchuan family was equivalent to Dongning's general agent and general distribution in Japan. Now Zheng Zhi and the others who have independent distribution rights are suddenly inserted to disrupt the situation. Money, this is what relatives have to fall out with. Of course, Tian Chuan's family will not directly tear up their faces with Zheng Zhi and the others, but the problem has been reflected on the Department of Commerce and Industry, forcing Lin Weirong to discuss an explanation with Zheng Kezang.

"That's it." Zheng Kezang thought for a while, and he did make some mistakes, so he could only find a way to make up for it. "From now on, Tian Chuan will still be responsible for the distribution of the goods transported by our domain to Nagasaki. As for Min Qingbo and his fleet, they will go to Penghu in the future, and mainly resell the Thai and Western goods brought by the English, Guyanese, and French."

Lin Weirong was not satisfied with the answer, so he continued to ask, "Will the Thai and Western goods transported by Benfan to Naha still go?"

"Of course." Zheng Kezang said decisively. "Now that the Francobots have not been tamed, if we don't leave, we will give up the business, so what should go is still going to go"

Lin Weirong left, and Zheng Kezang sat there thinking that Mingzheng's business offices in Siam and Pattani would be established by the end of the year at the latest, so that Mingzheng could communicate and trade with major neighboring countries and regions except the Dutch-controlled area. It's all been rebuilt, it's time to clean up the merchant fleet

Zheng Kezang thought for a moment, looked up at the darkening sky, and asked, "Is there anything else going on today?"

An eunuch looked through the catalog of documents handed over by the Secretary of General Administration and then reported: "My lord, all the papers reviewed today are here."

"That's good." Zheng Kezang stretched himself, then got up and walked towards the backyard. Several servants hurriedly followed. When Zheng Kezang was almost at the lotus courtyard, he suddenly thought of something, stood still and asked road. "What is Qin She doing now?"

The servant responded cautiously: "If you go back to the Lord, Mr. Qin She seems to be talking to Miss Shen."

Zheng Kezang's expression changed, and he turned to Jinhua Courtyard, and asked as he walked, "Is the young couple still getting along well?"

"I heard it's pretty nice," the servant secretly glanced at Zheng Kezang, and seeing that he didn't have any expression, he said boldly. "Except for studying martial arts, Mr. Qin She is quite lonely by himself. Only the few days when Miss Shen came here did he smile more."

"It's also my brother's carelessness." Zheng Kezang seemed to be blaming himself, but he was so frightened that the servant fell to his knees by the side of the road. Zheng Kezang didn't look at him, but walked straight into the Jinhua Courtyard , so frightened that several eunuchs, female historians, and female servants wanted to bow down, Zheng Kezang waved his hands. "Don't disturb Qin She and Miss Shen."

While talking, Zheng Kezang quietly came out of the room. Through the gauze curtain, he saw that Zheng Keshuang was copying something carefully, while Shen Rui's sister was grinding for him. They were a pair of beautiful men, but Zheng Kezang noticed that the expressions of the two seemed too intimate, as if something had happened.

"Qin She's personnel affairs." Zheng Kezang left the room slowly, and when he came to the atrium, he called for the female historian of Jinhua Academy. "Are there any arrangements?"

Nu Shi blushed, but Zheng Kezang had to reply, so he said slowly: "After the filial piety period expires, the two personal maids arranged by the servants have already been used."

This Jin Nineteen has already been reported to Zheng Kezang, so the question later is the key: "What about Qin She and Ninth Sister?"

"This, this," said Nv Shi Qiqi Ai Ai, Zheng Kezang's eyes suddenly froze, and Nv Shi was so frightened that he immediately reported. "It seems to have happened once"

"Bold! Why don't you report this kind of thing!" Zheng Kezang gave Nu Shi a vicious look, and was so frightened that Nu Shi knelt there like mud. "Where's Jin Nineteen? He's such an asshole, how does he manage it?" It's no big deal to be contaminated by a maidservant, but unmarried couples having intercourse before marriage is a bit shocking in this era, so it's no wonder that Zheng Kezang has a furious expression. "Come here, get everyone in the courtyard out for me. The female servants and female officials will be paired with the old army tomorrow, and all the internal servants will be filled into the mine."

The panicked people in the courtyard begged for mercy one by one, but the servants who came along with Zheng Kezang dragged everyone out with a stern face. At this time, Zheng Keshuang, who was alarmed, ran out with Shen Jiujie: "Brother, No matter why elder brother came, he didn’t order anyone to tell me, so I’m being rude to my younger brother.”

"You and my brother, why are you being so polite." Zheng Kezang not only reached out his hand to stop Zheng Keshuang and Shen Jiujie from kneeling, but also said rather playfully. "If I hadn't thought about it today, I wouldn't have seen the scene of you respecting each other as guests. Very well, Qin She is not young anymore, and Ninth Sister is older. The marriage will be done in a few days."

Although Shen Jiujie is older, she is a girl after all. When she heard Zheng Kezang's veiled irony, her face immediately glowed, but Zheng Keshuang was more relaxed. Hearing the words, she said deeply to Zheng Kezang: "Little brother, thank you!" Over my brother."

"Father and grandma are gone, and elder brothers are like fathers, that's what they should be." Zheng Kezang didn't give in this time, and was saluted by Zheng Kezang. "But after we get married, we can't stay in Anping City." Zheng Keshuang understands this truth. How can a boy his age stay in the inner courtyard? Isn't this forcing the outside world to pour dirty water on Zheng Kezang? He who has experience in personnel affairs is naturally submissive. "I got a lot of houses in Chengtian Mansion a while ago. When you have time, go and have a look with Jiu Jie and choose the best one. The Internal Construction Bureau will take care of them to renovate it for you."

"Thank you, brother," Zheng Keshuang didn't look ecstatic, which made Zheng Kezang mutter in his heart, that this kid has gained a bit of city power in recent years if he didn't pay attention. "Brother," Zheng Keshuang asked at this moment, pointing to a group of people who were still struggling. "I don't know how the people below offended my elder brother, and I ask my elder brother to forgive her for my little brother's sake."

"Stinky boy, you will benefit me." Zheng Kezang laughed and cursed pretending to be bold. "Forget it, when you grow up, you have more eyes, so you won't feel lonely if you don't care about your family." Speaking of this, Zheng Kezang gestured with his eyes, and the servant next to him immediately let go of Jinhua Courtyard. The people let go, and Ye Nushi, who had escaped, led a group of servants and maids to kneel at Zheng Kezang's feet, listening to Zheng Kezang's lecture. "When I entered the city, I told you all about the rules. Today is a good day. I am stuck in the valley if I am alone. Is this a good thing? I know that you are covering up for the master. I don't know, and I don't know what the slander will be. look." Zheng Kezang said bitterly. "However, you have a good master. Qin She is willing to beg for mercy for you. If there is another misfortune, I won't let you alone. Just kill yourself." After finishing speaking, Zheng Kezang nodded at Zheng Keshuang. "Gu go first, you can do it yourself"

Leaving Jinhua Courtyard, Zheng Kezang frowned. Zheng Keshuang has grown up, and it is no longer easy to keep him by his side. The next step is to give him the false title of earl, just like Zheng Cong and Zheng Ming, and raise him like a pig. , or move overseas like Zheng Zhi and Zheng Yu, this made him a little hesitant.

"Looks like Gu Zhen is going to be a loner." In Feng Lianniang's room, Zheng Kezang murmured, this position does not allow any family affection.

"What is your husband talking about?" Feng Lianniang didn't understand, so she asked.

"It's nothing, Guzai said, you will give birth to a child for Guzai anytime."

Tears welled up in Feng Lianniang's eyes: "My husband knows how to bully people."

"Forget it, forget it, there's nothing to cry about." Zheng Kezang kept the woman. "Let's work harder"
