Chapter 1105 Paralyzed Superior
Hearing Chen Zhongsheng's questioning tone, Zhang Pucheng was not kind, and he couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking at the moment, so he could only vaguely say: "The fleet of the Haihan Merchant Corps is quite large, and they intend to help the people of Fushan County, and they brought a lot of food. As a relief. If they want to stay in the local area for a long time, they must build a port by the sea. The other party has notified the officials in advance about this, so it should be no problem."
Chen Zhongsheng said: "A few days ago there was news from Weihaiwei that there were a large number of ships passing through the border. It should be their fleet, right?"
Zhang Pucheng replied: "It is the Haihan Fleet. Feng Qianhu from the Qishan Qianhu Office has already visited Zhifu Island in person, and there should be no violations."
Chen Zhongsheng was relieved when he heard this, and continued to ask: "Could it be that these people came from the south thousands of miles away, just to bring food to the people of Dengzhou, and to eliminate the bandits who are raging in the area?"
Zhang Pucheng said: "My lord, let the official explain the details here slowly."
Haihan has accumulated many years of practical experience in the south on how to deal with all levels of government in Ming Dynasty. Han's various methods are packaged into normal trade transactions, and there are special routines available.Since they have spent a lot of money to bring Zhang Pucheng and Feng Fei into their camp, it is natural to make full use of their positions and slowly launch a propaganda offensive against their superiors.When Wanmeng was handed over earlier, Haihan provided Zhang Pucheng with reference materials, hoping that he would give Haihan some good words when he arrived in Dengzhou.
Zhang Pucheng naturally understood this, he had already taken advantage of Haihan, even if it was for his own benefit, he had to try to get his boss to accept the existence of Haihan people.Moreover, Haihan thought so thoroughly that he even specially printed "reference materials", which made Zhang Pucheng a lot more fond of him. After all, he had never met such a sensible partner before.
According to Zhang Pucheng, the Haihan Merchant Group is a group of patriotic and kind-hearted southern maritime merchants. They hope to help the homeless refugees in the Dengzhou area by establishing maritime trade lines, and at the same time provide job opportunities. In order to enable these refugees to become self-reliant and gradually get rid of their dependence on official assistance.Of course, in order to ensure that these rescue measures can be implemented, the Haihan Merchant Group also organized militia-like armed forces to deal with bandit gangs like the Wanjia Army.
"Relief with work? This is a good way! It's just that the Haihan merchant group needs to transport supplies from thousands of miles away. If they want to rescue a state and a prefecture, the transport capacity may not be able to keep up with it?" Chen Zhongsheng listened After Zhang Pucheng's introduction, he felt that although the Haihan Merchant Group had good intentions to do good deeds, it faced great practical difficulties, and could not help but worry about the feasibility of this matter.
Zhang Pucheng continued to explain: "There are many sailing ships in the Haihan Merchant Group. There are two fleets of ships going back and forth between Zhifu Bay and Zhoushan Island in Zhejiang Province every month. After being recruited by them, some people will accept their arrangements and settle down in the south. According to the following As far as the officials know, the Haihan Merchant Group has carefully calculated the transportation capacity, and it seems that there will be no problem."
Chen Zhongsheng didn't know the extent of Haihan's operations in Zhifu Bay, and almost all the information he knew came from reports from various coastal guards, which were far less detailed than Zhang Pucheng's.Although Haihan has achieved great success in the south, it is not well-known in North China, and there are only a few glass ornaments made by Haihan in the homes of some dignitaries.Even if you have heard of the name Haihan, you will often only think that it is a certain commercial workshop in the south, and you can't imagine the extent of the influence of this force on the southeast coast.
Zhang Pucheng's explanation sounded very reasonable to Chen Zhongsheng's ears. These southerners did not save lives in vain, and the purpose of recruiting the people was also obvious, which was to use these almost free labor forces to build for them in Zhifu Bay. A port terminal that can be used for a long time.As long as they can provide jobs for the local people, Chen Zhongsheng doesn't mind these southerners opening a port in Zhifu Bay.Of course, if he knew that dozens of Haihan sailing ships docked in Zhifu Bay were military ships, and there were thousands of armed personnel stationed there, his thinking would be completely different.
Chen Zhongsheng continued to ask: "In about three months, the sea surface of Zhifu Bay will be frozen. What will the Haihan business group plan by then?"
Zhang Pucheng said: "The lower officials have also asked about this matter. They plan to build enough houses and heating facilities before winter arrives, stockpile the grain and grass needed for the winter, and will not stop the assistance to the local people because of the season. .”
"It's so good!" Chen Zhongsheng said in praise: "Since these businessmen have the intention to do good deeds, let's give them more convenience. If they want to reclaim the unclaimed land near Zhifu Bay, let's do our best to help them!"
Zhang Pu thought that he might not be able to complete what the Haihan people had to do, and it would be good if they could take the initiative to inform the Fushan County Government.Not to mention unclaimed land, even if it is owned land, who would dare to stroke the tiger's beard if it is occupied by Haihan?Wan Jiajun, a bandit gang that is a headache for the government, was almost uprooted by Haihan. There is no other family in the region that has the confidence to fight against the Haihan people.
But at least the Haihan people are reasonable, they are willing to maintain channels of communication, and they are also willing to give some practical benefits to those in power in the government. They are much easier to get along with than the Wanjiajun who can only do evil.From Zhang Pucheng's point of view, he would definitely be more willing to choose Haihan as his partner. It is impeccable to save worry, trouble and money.
Zhang Pucheng said: "The lower officials have issued a notice in Fushan County, allowing the Haihan business group to recruit people to work for them in the county. In just a few days, nearly a thousand people have been rescued. There were originally many refugees living outside the county. The past few days have gradually dispersed, and many people have gone to join the Haihan Merchant Group. Presumably, before the arrival of this winter, Fushan County will be able to solve the livelihood problems of the people."
Chen Zhongsheng said: "Master Zhang has quelled the chaos and captured the bandits this time, and solved the livelihood of the people in the county. I will definitely submit a report to the Minister of Political Envoy, and please reward Master Zhang for his meritorious service!"
After waiting for a long time, Zhang Pucheng finally got to the point, and immediately responded: "It's all because the magistrate is well-led and strategized. The subordinates are just cooperating with the magistrate's arrangement and acting according to the plan. I really dare not take credit for it."
The two sang together, and at this juncture, no one took the initiative to mention the Haihan people who contributed the most in this matter, which can be regarded as a kind of tacit understanding between officials.
Chen Zhongsheng saw that Zhang Pucheng was so upright, and at the moment he also appreciated his awareness of being an official, nodded with satisfaction and said: "This bandit leader Wan Meng still has a reward on his body. If I remember correctly, there should be silver for life and death." Bailiang, go and collect this reward for the Haihan Merchant Group later on!"
Zhang Pucheng nodded in response, thinking that Haihan people are rich and generous, so they don't care about this little money, even if they give it back, they will probably be rejected, and the final destination of the money will probably be in their own pockets.He came to Dengzhou this time with two main tasks, one is to show his merits, this goal has been basically achieved, and the other task is to try to make the Dengzhou government acquiesce in Haihan's presence in Fushan County.Judging from Chen Zhongsheng's current reaction, the second task is basically completed.
Things went so smoothly, and Zhang Pucheng was also in a good mood. After saying goodbye to the magistrate's yamen, Zhang Pucheng decided to reward himself with a good meal first, and immediately rewarded his entourage with a few taels of silver, and let them solve the food by themselves.Anyway, the money was the wanted bounty he received, and Zhang Pucheng didn't feel bad when using the silver that fell from the sky.
Zhang Pucheng took only one entourage, and went straight to the most upscale restaurant in the city, "Shenxianju".Harvests in Fushan County are poor every year, and the outside of the county is full of hungry people. There are no restaurants and restaurants in the county. Although he, the county magistrate, will not starve to death, the food he can usually eat is very monotonous, almost all coarse grains Mainly, there is not much oil and water in the stomach, and the weight shows a downward trend year by year without deliberately controlling it.For Zhang Pucheng, it is a rare opportunity to come to Dengzhou City, so naturally he must try to eat some delicacies to replenish his oil and water.And just now the magistrate's yamen received a sum of money, so he doesn't have to eat and feel distressed like before.
Zhang Pucheng went up to the second floor, and after sitting down, he unceremoniously ordered seven or eight signature dishes from the shop, and ordered a jug of wine, intending to have a feast here.But before the dishes were ready, someone greeted him: "A rare guest! Isn't this Mr. Zhang from Fushan County?"
Zhang Pucheng looked up, and he knew the person.This man was a reinforcement general transferred from Yanzhou by Shandong Dusi during the Denglai Rebellion. His name was Shangguanye. When he first came to Dengzhou, his military position was a defense. As a general, he led his troops to station in Dengzhou.The reason why Zhang Pucheng knew him was because this Shangguanye led his troops to Fushan County to collect the army rations, and the land was scraped so hard that Zhang Pucheng, a local official, still has lingering fears.
As the saying goes, a thief is like a comb, a soldier is like a grate, and an official is like a shave. This officer led his troops to the local area to urge food, and his methods were much better than bandits like the Wanjia Army who only plundered floating wealth.At that time, Shangguanye broke down several villages that refused to cooperate in Fushan County, frightening the local rich men who had not bowed to the rebels and bandits in the county, and fled to the county seat to seek refuge.Zhang Pucheng also bit the bullet and went to Shangguanye to intercede, hoping that he could restrain his subordinates, but Shangguanye ridiculed him as a "poor magistrate" and ignored his plea.
Zhang Pucheng has no way to make accurate statistics on how much money and food the Shangguanye troops took away from Fushan County, but what he can confirm is that the damage caused to Fushan County by this guy is far greater than that of the Kong Youde rebels in Dengzhou City .The men and horses of Shangguanye deprived more than a dozen villages of food rations, and directly killed more than 30 people. However, because of their status as officers and soldiers, Zhang Pucheng was unable to bring them to justice, and even filed a complaint against them. Also has no effect.
Although Zhang Pucheng had nothing to do with Shangguanye, and he was unable to investigate the crimes he committed afterwards, but this grudge was still in his heart, and he remembered this annoying face very clearly, and when he saw it, he remembered the unpleasant memories at the beginning .He didn't have any good feelings for this person, and he didn't want to talk to him at all. It was only out of official etiquette that he put down his chopsticks, cupped his hands angrily, and said, "Master Shangguan, you're being polite!"
But Shangguanye didn't seem to notice his expression, he walked over and opened his chair and sat down: "How is Mr. Zhang? Are you here for business in Dengzhou City?"
Zhang Pucheng gave a very cold "hmm", almost writing the word "get off" on his face.But the other party didn't seem to be so knowledgeable. Faced with this attitude, he didn't intend to leave on his own, and continued to talk to him: "I heard that Fushan County is so poor that it can't be solved, but Mr. Zhang's style is not like that. It looks destitute! Could it be that Mr. Zhang picked up the silver that fell from the sky?"
Zhang Pu thought that the money was indeed falling from the sky, but it's a pity that you don't even want to touch this source of wealth, so he snorted and said, "I have to pay for a meal out of my own pocket, but do I need to report to my lord?"
Shangguanye chuckled dryly and said, "Of course there's nothing wrong with eating, but I'm afraid Master Zhang's money comes from something wrong!"
"What do you mean by that!" Zhang Pucheng was suddenly a little nervous when the other party talked about the central matter, and he immediately denied it, and even raised his voice twice.
Shangguan Ye said: "I heard that Mr. Zhang brought the bandit leader of the Wanjia army to Dengzhou to ask for a reward. I don't know which god helped Mr. Zhang catch this important criminal?"
Hearing the other party's initiative to mention this matter, Zhang Pucheng felt something was wrong in his heart, and he didn't answer his question right away.It is reasonable to say that what the Haihan people did in Fushan County did not spread to Dengzhou so quickly, but this Shangguanye spoke in a strange way, as if he knew something inside.
Seeing that Zhang Pucheng remained silent, Shangguanye continued to say to himself: "A few days ago, I have also read the Dengzhou bulletin sent from Weihaiwei and Qishan. Just now you met Mr. Chen at the magistrate's yamen. At the time, I asked your entourage outside to ask about the general situation in Fushan County. I already know about it. Mr. Zhang, I’m afraid you still don’t know the origin of this Haihan people? This group of giants from the south Xiao, you dare to cooperate with them!"
Zhang Pucheng was taken aback when he heard the last sentence, and quickly retorted: "What southern tycoons! They are just a group of businessmen, don't deliberately scare people and frame good people!"
Zhang Pucheng has benefited from Hai Han, and has already filed a record in front of the prefect. If there is a problem with the origin of the Hai Han people, then he will also be implicated.Of course, he didn't believe what Shangguanye said from the bottom of his heart. If this group of people were really thieves, they would have nowhere to go if they were rich and powerful. How could they be so kind and come all the way to Dengzhou, Shandong to help the refugees.Compared with the Haihan people, this Shangguanye is more like a gangster who robbed his house.
