Chapter 333: Sea trade

Views:

Shangguan Lie rushed into Zheng Qing's mansion with the people in the torture room.

Shangguan Lie looked at this man and threw the transcript of his impeachment Zhou Zheng's memorial directly, and said, "Did you write well?"

Zheng Qing had a bad feeling when he saw Shangguan Lie rushing in with people. When he opened the memorial book, his expression changed greatly.

Zhou Zheng, actually got the transcript of his memorial so soon, does he have such a big influence in the capital? Even if his father is the servant of the household department, he can't do it, right

Zheng Qing suddenly thought of the rumors that he had been ignoring, "Hundred officials are disgusted", can be disgusted by a hundred officials without dying, is this an ordinary person

Zheng Qing's lips were dry, and he wanted to say something, but Shangguan Lie refused to give him a chance at all, and suddenly shouted: "This person is guilty. Take him back to the jailer!"

The people in the torture room were all recruited by Shangguan Lie himself. They were all his people, and they rushed over like a wolf and tied Zheng Qing firmly.

Zheng Qing struggled violently, shouting loudly: "I am the imperial order officer, Zhou Zhengyun can't arrest me like this! He is revenge, this is framing, I want to sue him..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shangguan Lie kicked over and reprimanded: "You think we don't know about those things about you? Zhang Yonglian's things are missing your share? Your wealth came out of thin air... "

Zheng Qing gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Even if I am guilty, the court will inquire about the crime. Why does Zhou Zhengyun take me and let me go, I want to go to Beijing to sue the imperial court..."

Shangguan Lie kicked again, kicking him in a cold sweat, and said: "Sue the imperial court? It's up to you? You can walk out of Yongping Mansion alive and say..."

Hearing these words, Zheng Qing's face changed drastically, staring at Shangguan Lie, and said: "You, you are going to murder the imperial court official to fail. This is the capital crime of ransacking the family..."

Where did Shangguan Lie pay attention to him, he kicked again and said, "Take it back."

The servants of the torture room took Zheng Qing straight back to the government office and sent him to the prison division.

Ding Qi looked at Shangguan Lie and said, "Is it closed like this?"

Shangguan Lie looked indifferent and said, "Closed, if he dies of illness, he will die. It doesn't matter..."

Zheng Qing's expression changed when he heard it. Is this trying to kill him in prison

Ding Qi looked at Zheng Qing's ugly expression and said, "Well, then I will close it casually."

Ding Qi was really casual, throwing Zheng Qing into a separate cell, and no matter what.

Zheng Qing stood in an empty cell with a chill.

If he died here, Zhou Zheng reported a sudden illness, what would the court do? Who will scream for him

"I want to see Zhou Zheng, no, I want to see Master Xunzhen..." Zheng Qing suddenly grabbed the cell door and shouted at Ding Qi's back.

Ding Qi ignored it.

Settling the imperial court and potential internal threats, Zhou Zheng focused more and more on promoting his innovation plan in Yongping Mansion.

The people of the prefectural government, even Zhou Zheng, went down in person to supervise the measurement and division of land in various places.

In June, there was news from Beijing that Shi Yang, who was temporarily serving as the chief assistant, came to pay his official duties. The imperial court recommended Li Guopu as the chief assistant, two new cabinet ministers were promoted, and three of the six Shangshu were gone all at once.

The "Wei Zhongxian Adverse Case" that the ruling and opposition parties are watching, even after changing three heads and assistants, they still haven't been able to advance, and some eunuchs have even risen to high positions.

The North Korean game is even more chaotic.

The first year of Chongzhen, June 12th.

Zhou Zheng and a group of people appeared in Leting Town, Changli County.

The mayor is a 40-year-old man. He accompanied Zhou Zheng in the countryside, watching the people measure the land by pulling a string, and said eagerly: "My lord, our town is progressing very smoothly. It has been clearly demarcated. Four villages, forty li, the land has been repaired, and the people are praising the virtues of the adults..."

The people are naturally very happy to get the land, which also greatly aroused their enthusiasm.

Zhou Zheng watched a lot along the way, and said approvingly: "Well, you have done a good job, and you must continue to work hard, and you must not slacken. Tell the people that the imperial tax is to collect a bucket per acre. No one is allowed to charge half an extra point!"

The mayor repeatedly said: "Yes. Adults are rare honest officials, and our people all hope that adults will live a long life..."

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "In the next step, the government will make arrangements for water conservancy, cattle farming, ploughing, etc., to ensure that the people can grow grain and have a stable meal. You should also pay attention to it. The government's efforts are not enough... "

The mayor immediately continued: "The adults' actions are for the people. We all know that we must fully cooperate with the adults and never dare to neglect..."

Zhou Zheng smiled and walked around the field.

When he returned, he and Yao Tongshun and Ding Qi next to him said: "Supervise now, and there will be inspections in the future. We must not let those who are interested take advantage of the loopholes. We worked hard to make wedding dresses for them..."

Yao Tongshun, Ding Qi looked solemnly, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, we already have arrangements."

Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "After lunch, I went to Xinqiao in Shundingliu Henan."

Yao Tongshun was startled and said, "My lord, what are you going to do in Xinqiao?"

Xinqiao is a town under Changli County. At the estuary of Dingliu River, Xinqiao is not in Zhou Zheng's planned plan.

Zhou Zhengdao: "Go and see."

He didn't say everything, but there were other arrangements.

When Shangguanxun went to Jiangnan, in addition to working with sixteen salt merchants, he also continued to travel south to Guangdong and Macau.

There is a gathering place for the Little Franco Robot (Portuguese) in Macau. In addition to the Little Franco Robot, there are also many merchants from Xiyi.

Daming's maritime ban was intermittent, several bans were imposed during the Wanli period, and shipping was opened during the Tianqi period, but the Haimao court has always been severely attacked.

Especially in Fujian, once the merchants secretly go to sea, it is difficult to come back again, and the family's property will be confiscated; if there is an accident overseas, the court will ignore it.

Zhou Zheng had been planning in his heart, and quietly tore a hole. Although Yongping Mansion was not very well located, it also had an outlet to the sea. If it can strengthen sea trade, this is very important for Daming.

It's just that these are not suitable for outsiders for the time being, even for a few confidants.

This matter is very sensitive and dangerous. Even Zhou Zheng must plan carefully for everything.

When he arrived at Xinqiao Haikou, Zhou Zheng seriously inspected it and was very satisfied.

This is the place where fishermen go to sea at present. It is a small or small pier. It can't dock big ships like later generations, but there is no problem with the current ships.

Yao Tongshun, Ding Qi and others didn't know what Zhou Zheng was thinking, and they looked inexplicable.

Zhou Zheng looked at the sea and said smugly: "After I go back, I will give you a sketch and give me a good job of building this place. By the way, the Xiangyun Island not far away will also have a rest and arrange for some people. Go up."

Yao Tongshun just wanted to ask, Zhou Zheng suddenly turned his head and asked, "By the way, what happened to the armor I asked you to ask for from the Ministry of War last time?"

Yao Tongshun hurriedly said: "The Ministry of War has replied, saying that the Ministry of War is out of money and we have to figure out a solution by ourselves."

Zhou Zheng chuckled. If it was someone else, he would definitely be sad, but when he came to him, he would be in the middle.

"Where is the firearm I want?" Zhou Zheng said again.

Yao Tong said: "The Ministry of Industry replied that they can only make it if the Ministry of Households allocates money, or that they have some inventory in the Armament Bureau, but we have to pay for it." (End of this chapter)
