Considering the issue of intelligence security, Pan Yan's letter of introduction also indicated the level of authority that he can access to intelligence secrets, which is limited to semi-public personnel and operations, as well as written documents with a confidentiality level of "D and others".Of course, Lin Si himself is actually just a non-staff intelligence officer of the Ministry of Security, and his authority is only one level higher than that of Pan Yan. He probably contacts the intelligence personnel and information channels that are actually lurking in Hangzhou. less than.However, Lin Si's main job in Hangzhou City is to greet and send off on the surface, dealing with people from all walks of life.According to the letter of introduction, Pan Yan's mission for this trip is "research" and he needs to conduct public activities in Hangzhou City, so the superiors handed over Pan Yan's reception to Lin Si, who will arrange for Pan Yan to stay in Hangzhou. One should business.
Lin Si first took Pan Yan to have a general tour of the inside and outside of Fengsheng Rice Shop, and then took him to the flower hall in the inner courtyard to sit down.Pan Yan asked quite curiously: "Just now, I saw that there are tens of thousands of catties of grain stored in the warehouse. Could it be that this rice store is not just for show, but is actually in operation?"
Lin Siying said: "Mr. Pan, don't underestimate this rich rice store. Last year, the grain shipped to Zhoushan Island through here was no less than a million catties! I heard that Mr. Pan came from the north. Last year when the Zhoushan fleet went north to Shandong Some of the food supplies brought here were also purchased by the organization here, and Master Pan might have enjoyed it before he went south."
After Pan Yan was captured at Lushunkou, he went to Zhifu Island and Phi Island for a period of time, and he also had a general idea of Haihan's arrangements for transporting grain from the south and the situation of aiding Phi Island, which sounded in line with what Lin Si said.The grain production areas under Haihan’s rule are mainly concentrated in Fuguang, Guangxi and the coastal areas of the Indochina Peninsula. Due to the limitation of transportation capacity, it is difficult to meet the needs of the colonies of Zhejiang and Shandong at the same time, and the current grain production of these two places is still difficult to achieve. Self-sufficient, so it will also purchase food from the local area.
If the freight and labor costs are included, the price paid is actually almost the same as the grain shipped from the south.Especially since Haihan started to provide assistance to Phi Island last year, there were tens of thousands of mouths to eat, and the demand for food was even greater.As a result, Fengsheng Rice Co., Ltd.'s trade volume has greatly increased, and it has become one of the largest grain merchants in Hangzhou and even in eastern Zhejiang. It is also Haihan's main grain procurement channel in Zhejiang.
Pan Yan asked: "The masters of Haihan are planning and managing behind Mihang. Could it be that no one in Hangzhou has noticed?"
Lin Si smiled and said: "Do you think that the 10 people in Hangzhou City are all blind? Of course there are people with discerning eyes, but what if they know? This rice shop is originally open to the public, and all the transactions are legal, and they don't steal. If you don’t rob, you can’t cheat, the government can’t impose charges and close this shop.”
Pan Yan still did not give up and asked: "But the two sides confronted each other outside the city a few days ago, and no one came to trouble you?"
Lin Si picked up his teacup and took a sip before responding unhurriedly: "This rice store has more than [-] employees who are directly under my control, most of them are Ming people, but indirectly relying on this rice store There are probably thousands of people eating. Among them are some grain dealers and people in the yamen. Whoever wants to touch this rice store will take the jobs of thousands of people. Not to mention the people in the government. You are not fools, you are confronting the Ming army outside the city, if they copy this rice line, they will not even have the only channel to spread the word, if the war gets serious, wouldn’t it mean that you will kill yourself?"
Pan Yan slowly understood Lin Si's words, and tried to interpret: "That is to say, some people know that this is Haihan's business, but they will still maintain Fengsheng Rice for profit and future prospects?"
Lin Si nodded and said: "Most of the people who have objections to Hai Han in Zhejiang official circles are those whose interests have been damaged because of Hai Han's arrival, but there are also many people who have benefited from Hai Han and turned to invest in it." The Haihan camp. Just like our brothers, before the chiefs came, they were well-known maritime merchants in the East China Sea. They seemed to be free, but they were subject to many restrictions. Knowing that the past structure was too small, there are still many things to do in this world. It is easy for Hai Han to get promoted and make a fortune in the officialdom. He just needs to bow his head and work hard. Not many people can resist the temptation of profit. Look at that Isn't Qu Yutong, the prefect of Ningbo, one of the best examples?"
Regarding the cause and effect of Qu Yutong's playing for Haihan, Pan Yan had also heard Wang Tom and others mention it earlier, so he also knew that the truth hidden behind the negotiation two days ago was actually the exchange of interests that had been arranged long ago.The officials in the Zhejiang officialdom who are in a similar situation to Qu Yutong are obviously not just isolated phenomena. Although Lin Si does not have specific information, as far as he has come into contact with, he can indeed feel that there are many people in the yamen. People are trying their best to protect Haihan's related industries, and this kind of behavior can only be explained as they are actually protecting their own interests—just like Qu Yutong's motivation for cooperating with Haihan.
Lin Si manages the daily operations at Fengsheng Rice Bank, so the accounts of the rice bank are also in contact with each other at ordinary times. The fund flow of the dark account is not less than the grain purchase and sales and daily expenses on the surface, and the whereabouts of more than half of the funds in these dark accounts are unknown. It is the pocket of the people in the government.Anyone who wants to start the Fengsheng Rice Bank must first face the resistance from these big and small umbrellas.
Although Pan Yan didn't know much about the situation in Hangzhou, he had a pretty good mind, and he understood it after hearing what Lin Si said.Coincidentally, Haihan's operation in Dengzhou, Shandong Province is also a similar number of routes, but it is too short, and there are not many projects that can be operated in Dengzhou at present, and the situation is not as extensive as that of Hangzhou.Moreover, it is said that the magistrate is behind the largest grain merchant in Dengzhou. Haihan people want to get involved in the grain business. It must not be as easy as Hangzhou. After all, Jiangnan is a grain-producing area, and the supply of goods is much richer than that of Dengzhou, which is still short of food and clothing. up.
"However, this food business is basically posting money in it. I heard that all kinds of Haihan products in the market are extremely popular and profitable. Why don't you take back these profitable transactions and control them in your own hands?" Pan Yan continued to ask.
Lin Siying said: "Master Pan, money is endless. If you only want to earn all the money yourself and don't leave any soup to others, then who is willing to do things for you? The chiefs have extremely high methods and will All kinds of commodities have been dismantled and sold regional franchise agency rights, and a large group of wealthy and powerful businessmen have been recruited to work for themselves. Although it seems that they have made less money, the effect is completely different. Mo If you don’t understand, you’ve been doing business for many years before I’m here, and at the beginning I couldn’t understand the chief’s way, but as time went on, the power of it gradually became apparent.”
The series of business systems promoted by Haihan are quite advanced operation methods in this era, and not many people can truly understand the beauty of them.Lin Si himself is not a business genius. Although he is in this system, his understanding is still very limited. He is still at the stage of knowing what is happening and not knowing why, and it is difficult to explain it clearly to Pan Yan. secret.However, taking his personal experience as an example can also give Pan Yan a preliminary understanding of Haihan's success in commercial promotion.
Pan Yan said: "Although I don't know much about business, I have seen the way the chiefs manage their places in the north, and I really admire them. Just occupying a piece of land on the coast, you can open ports and build ports, and garrison and emigrate , but in two or three months, the local government was emptied and took over a county. It’s just that the chiefs don’t seem to have much interest in occupying the place, and after controlling a safe area, they will no longer expand outside.”
"About what Master Pan said, I have consulted the chief." Lin Si explained to him: "Actually, there are two reasons. One is that there is not enough population and troops to control an area that is too large, and the other is that I don't want to Therefore, it provoked Ming Dynasty and caused the two countries to fall into a state of war."
Pan Yan said: "I feel that apart from these two reasons, it is because the chiefs have a lot of affection for Daming, and they don't want to have a conflict with Daming. Brother Lin knows that the Haihan Army has gone to Liaodong, and he even took action to teach Daming a lesson. Overcome the enemy bandits outside the pass."
"Is there such a thing?" Lin Si immediately became interested when he heard it: "Master Pan, wait a moment, and then go to the kitchen to order some dishes, then heat two pots of rice wine, and chat while eating."
Not long after, the kitchen set up a simple table of food and wine. Because some confidential topics were to be discussed, Lin Si didn't seek company from others. Yan poured the wine, and then continued the conversation with the previous topic: "Master Pan, what exactly is the situation of the Haihan Army's activities in Liaodong that you said earlier? If it does not involve military secrets, can you tell me about it?" inside story?"
Pan Yan said: "Seeing that Boss Lin is so interested in fighting, why didn't he join the army? As far as I know, the recruitment of the Haihan Army does not seem to be strict. As long as the age is roughly the same and there is no obvious serious disease, you can sign up and apply for enlistment on your own." .”
Lin Si sighed: "Master Pan can see clearly that I did have the idea of joining the army, but the elders in the family have always adhered to the saying that good iron does not hammer nails, and good men do not serve as soldiers. No matter if it is the Ming army or the Haihan army You are not allowed to go. My brother also specially asked the chief to say hello, don’t accept him to join the army, alas...Nowadays, I only occasionally listen to the stories of the military men who escorted me to Hangzhou, and I have had a good time.”
Pan Yan was also a little surprised when he heard that, but he didn't expect that this man was a businessman, but he had a dream of joining the army in his heart.However, it is clear that his dream of joining the army is really just a dream, and it is estimated that he will not have the opportunity to change his identity to truly experience the profession of a soldier. In this way, it is understandable why he has such a level of concern about the news that the Haihan Army is fighting outside. enthusiasm.
Pan Yan said: "I'm ashamed to say that I was originally serving in the Dengzhou Navy, but now I'm transferred to Dongjiang Town to take orders. I haven't dealt with Haihan chiefs for too long, and I don't know many battles. If Boss Lin doesn't mind, I will just pick a few things that can be said and chat casually. Boss Lin just listens to the story as he pleases, don't take it seriously."
Lin Sixin responded comprehensibly: "I understand, what is told on the wine table are all stories and cannot be taken as the truth."
Naturally, Pan Yan would not talk about his experience of being captured. As for the covenant between Haihan and Dongjiang Town, it seems to have a more sensitive political meaning, so it is inconvenient to mention it to outsiders.The actual experience of the Haihan army fighting against the Houjin army mainly occurred in the two battles in Jinzhou Bay on the Liaodong Peninsula, and when the Haihan fleet went to Jinzhou Bay last time, he was one of the prisoners of war who was held on board. .
Pan Yan thought for a while, then based on the experience of the Haihan Fleet during its second visit to the Liaodong Peninsula, he selected a few battles and told Lin Siting about them.
Since the destruction of the Zhoushan Ship Gang in Zhejiang, there have been basically no wars. Although the Haihan Fleet was dispatched to the city of Hangzhou this time, Lin Si had no chance to witness this "grand event" in the city. Therefore, the battle news from the north, Moreover, it was described by one of the parties in person, which is very precious to him as a "military fan".
After the Haihan Army broke through in Liaodong, the Jinshui Division did not publicize it publicly, so very few people knew about it in Ming Dynasty, and even Zhejiang did not get any news.Although Lin Si was working under the command of the Haihan people, he was not yet in contact with this level of information, so he was naturally very excited to hear about the battle in Liaodong.
Pan Yan was on the Haihan flagship at that time, and when he thought of the tense situation during the battle that day, his emotions naturally rose. There were many northern slang words in his speech, which showed the heroic spirit of the soldiers.Lin Si drank while listening, the spirit of the wine picked up, and he couldn't help but applaud at the poker table when he heard the joy, and he was hooked.
Lin Siben was born in Zhejiang, and had never been to the north before. He hadn't experienced the horror and hate of Houjin like the people in the northern frontier, but he still knew that Houjin went south every year to kowtow, and the court was tired of coping and lost The passive state of many territories outside the pass, at this time, hearing that the Haihan army had beaten the Jin army hard in Liaodong, could not help but feel a sense of common hatred and hatred.
After Pan Yan finished telling a story, Lin Sicai sighed: "The empress Jin is the great enemy of the Ming Dynasty. The chiefs of Haihan can take the initiative to lead troops to attack without being greedy for military merits. Fu Dabai, Master Pan, I will toast you again!"
Pan Yan thought in his heart that I had contributed a lot at that time, and I was worthy of your glass of wine, so he raised his glass and drank it down, then wiped his mouth and said: "If you want to talk about friendship, the heads of Haihan are comparable to this dynasty. The fatuous ministers who deceived the saints in the hall are much stronger. The Ming army stationed in Liaodong could not even get supplies, and lost territory every year. Not only did the court not strengthen its armaments, but it tried every means to withdraw the establishment of these Ming troops stationed in Liaodong. You What is it called?"
Lin Si sighed: "Before I came to Hangzhou, I also heard from the chief that the emperor was deceived by treacherous ministers, and he didn't know how to deal with the enemies in the north. Ming dynasty."
