Zhou Zheng pondered for a moment, glanced at him, and said: "We don't accept copper, but only gold and silver. Bills are changed to one point, three points, five points, one two, five taels, ten taels. More than one thousand taels will be paid. Amount of bills, currency exchange."
Shangguanxun was startled, a little unclear, so when he was about to ask, Zhou Zheng said again: "I want some activities in the early stage to attract small retail investors and large customers. You can lobby... In short, we must find a way to expand the ticket number and strengthen our strength."
Listening to Zhou Zheng's words, Shangguanxun was puzzled and caught an important question: "My boss, then how do we make money?"
Zhou Zheng was stunned and came over immediately.
It is not that Shangguanxun does not know how to make money with silver in his hand, but that there are many kinds of salt, tea, silk, porcelain, and even export abroad under the Zhous Chamber of Commerce, all of which are very profitable, and there is no shortage of silver.
If you can't make a lot of money, this ticket number seems a bit redundant? If you want to make a lot of money, what should you do
Zhou Zheng smiled and said, “I’ll know from now on. It’s not a bad thing to have money in your hand. You should know how to make money and develop slowly. Now it’s piloting, and when it stabilizes, it will develop in other major cities. According to my idea, Do it all."
Zhou Zheng said this with his arms around deliberately, his ambition is more than that, the role of this ticket is much more than that.
But you can't talk too much with Shangguanxun, it will be counterproductive.
Shangguanxun listened, thought about it for a while, and said: "Okay, I will discuss with Cheng and the others, write the article, and ask the owner to review it. I can start at the latest in March next year."
Zhou Zheng knocked on the table twice with his fist and said: "I am going to Liaodong next year. I don't know when I will come back. I will leave the Zhou Chamber of Commerce to you. Be cautious in everything."
Zhou Zheng went to Liaodong, and Zhou Qingli took office. The Zhou Chamber of Commerce became increasingly unable to keep a low profile.
Shangguanxun understood Zhou Zheng's meaning, and he responded, waited a while, and hesitated: "My boss, will you take Qing'er with you?"
Zhou Zheng looked at Shangguanxun, thought about it, and said, "Take it."
Although Shangguan Xun felt a little reluctant to go to the Tiger Wolf Land in Liaodong, he knew that he could not persuade his daughter, nor could he refuse Zhou Zheng's request, so he nodded helplessly.
After Zhou Zheng finished talking about these things, he parted with Shangguanxun.
He made an appointment with some friends of the ruling and opposition parties, ready to sit down together.
Tian Zhenshu has already achieved the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and it won't take long before he can go to the sixth department as the servant. Zheng Shouli was appointed as a doctor in the Ministry of Rites.
The two of them had a fellow villager who would serve as a backer, but the wind went smoothly, and they were not overthrown by the court repeatedly.
Zhou Zheng and the two had a drink before returning home, sitting in the study, and looking at the relevant information about Liaodong collected from various places.
The situation in Liaodong was really not optimistic. Sun Chengzong returned to Liaodong, rectified Liaodong, and continued to restore the inherent territory of the Ming Dynasty, pushing it to the north of the Daling River.
If the Ming army can establish a foothold in Dalinghe and build enough fortifications, then it can attack and retreat. It is another Ningjin line of defense, which is of great significance to Daming!
Zhou Zheng looked at these materials and nodded to himself.
Sun Chengzong deployed 100,000 soldiers and civilians on the first line of Ningjin and rebuilt the two cities of Ningyuan and Jinzhou. If they are properly guarded and supported each other, they are indeed a solid line of defense.
"If it can really last three to five years, Liaodong will be able to counterattack enough, and will not keep passively defending like this..."
Zhou Zheng muttered to himself in a happy mood while watching.
Although he knew that under the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible for Sun Chengzong to have enough time to rectify, but with the foundation laid by Sun Chengzong, it would be impossible for Jianli to break through the Ningjin line of defense in at least five years, threatening the last line of defense of the Ming Dynasty, Shanhaiguan. of.
The Ningjin Line is the moat and Shanhaiguan is the gateway. Both are indispensable!
Zhou Zheng took the map of Liaodong and looked at it carefully. His eyes ranged from Tianjin Wei to Shandong Denglai, then to Shanhaiguan, then to Ningjin, Dalinghe, and then North Korea and Pidao.
These places are strategic points. Among them, the flank of North Korea building the captives can be said to be the most important. If the Ming Dynasty manages it properly, it will be enough to pose a major threat to the captives, curb the development of the captives, and go south.
It's just a pity!
If it were placed in the Jiajing Dynasty, these would be easy to achieve, but the current court and courtiers, even if they have a good strategic plan, will eventually be in vain, but they will help build the prisoners.
Zhou Zheng stared at North Korea and shook his head secretly.
Even if he goes, there is no way to gain a foothold for a long time.
This is not just a matter of the imperial court, but once the North Korean side poses a certain threat to the prisoners, then the prisoners must be conquering with all their strength and will not give Zhou Zheng enough time to sit down.
Zhou Zheng's gaze fell on Songshan again. This location was close to the sea, with Jinzhou in the northwest, Dalinghe and Guangning Youtun in the northeast. Therefore, Songshan is a very important place.
Zhou Zheng probed from various places, the court intentionally sent him to station here, and at the same time support Sun Chengzong's plan to regain lost land, to create another important line of defense that can be attacked and retreated.
Zhou Zheng looked at the map and said nothing for a long time.
There is a narrow corridor from Shanhaiguan to Dalinghe River. Except for Jinzhou, Ningyuan is a big city. The others are just "forts" and cannot be held. If you want to build a city on the other side of the Dalinghe River, you can build a city in a place where you can control it. easy.
I don't know how long it took, Chu Jin walked in quietly.
Zhou Zheng looked up at him and said casually: "Old Wei is back?"
Chu Jin said, "Master Wei is afraid that he won't be able to come back for a while. His subordinates heard that Shuntian Mansion is blackmailing merchants in Manjing."
Zhou Zheng suddenly snorted and said: "If you eat the benefits in their stomachs, you will vomit them out easily. You must grab them from other places."
Chu Jin didn't say a word. He also knew the virtues of these people in the court.
Zhou Zheng slowly collected the information on the table, and said, "I will go to Liaodong next year and I can move around. Keep an eye on the movements of Jianlu, I always think something will happen.
In Zhou Zheng's memory, Liaodong didn't lose it until Hong Chengchou's hands, and the middle was as solid as a mountain. But things have changed too much, Zhou Zheng must be cautious!
Chu Jin raised his hand and said solemnly: "Yes!"
Zhou Zheng thought for a while, but he was still worried, and said: "The intelligence side must move cautiously, and the Military Armament Bureau must also speed up, not only armor weapons, but firearms. I will prepare the money and food. Since I am going to Liaodong, I will We must do a good job in Liaodong."
He is ready to build Songshan Fort, if given him time, he wants to build Songshan into another Jinzhou. There are two strong cities in the front and Ningyuan in the back. They support each other. If the captives come back in the future, it is impossible to go south to Ningyuan!
Chu Jin listened and said solemnly: "Yes!" (End of this chapter)
