"If your lord is free, you can go back to Dengzhou with us, take a rest for a few days, and then follow us to Liaodong. At that time, your lord will go to see the place in person, and you should be completely relieved."
After Chen Yixin briefly introduced Zhu Ziwu's situation, he also invited Zhu Youli to Liaodong for inspection.
Zhu Youli shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The king left Jinan this time because he used a golden cicada to get out of his shell. If he doesn't show up for a long time, he will still attract suspicion sooner or later. He has to go back quickly. Besides, cutting the feudal clan Now that Mr. Chen has made up his mind, Jinan has to make some preparations in advance. As for Ziwu, I have to ask your lords to take care of it! After the king handles the affairs of Jinan, I will find time to come Visit Dengzhou!"
Under pressure, Zhu Youli did not dare to stay in Laizhou for a long time, so Chen Yixin did not persuade him much.After having a simple meal together, Zhu Youli hurried home.
"Old Bai, what do you think?" After sending King De away, Chen Yixin took the initiative to ask Bai Kesi for his opinion.
Bai Kesi replied: "You mean King De? I think this person is very practical, he doesn't have any ostentation, and he is very serious. I met Zhu Zian in Hangzhou, and his speech and behavior are really in the same line as him."
Chen Yixin nodded and said: "My opinion is similar to yours. As long as this kind of person is bound by interests, he can be used by me."
Bai Kesi said: "After the example of Prince Nade's Mansion was launched, have there been any obvious results?"
Chen Yixin smiled and said: "Of course. Since my side and the East China Sea region released the list at the same time last year, many officials from Shandong, Hebei, and even Shuntian Prefecture have quietly come to contact us to inquire about our country's appointment of official personnel in the Ming Dynasty. Institutions. Especially in places such as Qingzhou Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture that are relatively close, there are many people who want to leave a way out for themselves, but they had various fears before and did not dare to show it. Now that there is an example of King De, many people will Moved my mind."
Compared with the ordinary officials who jumped from Daming to Haihan, the Zhu brothers dispatched by De Wangfu obviously had a higher starting point.The Zhu brothers also obtained better opportunities for development. As soon as they arrived in Haihan, they entered the officialdom smoothly and became the targets of key cultivation.
Under the propaganda carefully planned by Haihan, such an arrangement will inevitably have a negative effect on the officialdom of Ming Dynasty, allowing those who were originally loyal to the Zhu Dynasty to change their minds and seriously consider the possibility of serving Haihan.
Disintegrating the resistance will of the upper class of Ming Dynasty will greatly reduce the troubles that Haihan will encounter during the period of receiving the inheritance of Ming Dynasty. For this reason, throwing out a few official positions to show the sincerity of Haihan's daughter to buy horse bones, the cost is simply low. can be ignored.
What's more, judging from the performance of the Zhu brothers, they are not just sacks, but have a good cultural foundation and insight. As long as they put more thought into training slowly, they should also become talents in the future.
After the trip to Laizhou was over, the group took a boat to the nearest sea and returned to Fushan County, Dengzhou.
Ning Zijing has been staying in Fushan County and did not follow this inspection trip, but he was not idle either. During this period, he was busy preparing for the trade center built by Qiong Lianfa in Zhifu Port.As soon as Bai Kesi and the others came back, they received an invitation from Ning Zijing to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the trade center.
"What's the benefit of helping you stand on the platform?" Bai Letong waved the invitation card on his hand, and joked: "Although we have a good relationship, you can't help for nothing, right?"
Ning Zijing smiled and said, "That's fine, do you want to settle accounts with me? Don't regret it!"
Bai Letong immediately gave up resisting: "I can't settle the score with you, just pretend I didn't say anything!"
One is an official in the Qingshui Yamen, and the other is dealing with various merchants every day. When it comes to calculations, Bai Letong knows that he is definitely not Ning Zijing's opponent.What's more, during this trip, it was Ning Zijing who took care of the board and lodging itinerary most of the time, and even a lot of expenses were directly borne by Qiong Lianfa.There is no need to calculate carefully, Bai Letong also knows that it is not a small sum, and it will only be his own fault if he continues to argue.
Of course, neither of them would take this kind of joke seriously.Bai Letong immediately took the invitation and went to persuade his father to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Qiong Lianfa's entry into Shandong is not a recent event. In fact, as early as more than ten years ago, when Haihan established a ruling area in Fushan County, Qiong Lianfa expanded its business routes to Zhifu Port.
However, for a long time, the branches set up by Qiong Lianfa here are only at the level of the storehouse. Although the storehouse has been expanded several times, it has not been upgraded to the level of a regional trade center.
This is mainly because it is too far away from the Qiong Lianfa headquarters in the south. It is quite inconvenient for both cargo transportation and resource allocation. The operating costs are relatively high, and the degree of attention is not enough.Coupled with the continuous war in the north, there will be certain business risks in investing more resources here.Therefore, for a long period of time, Qiong Lianfa only maintained the operation of the northern commercial and trade routes, and did not greatly expand the scale of operations in Shandong and Liaodong.
However, in the past two years, with the gradual stabilization of the situation in the northern region, the number of wars has decreased significantly. Merchants with keen senses believed that the time had come, and began to increase their investment in the north.
Once a commercial giant like Qiong Lianfa makes a decision, it will naturally use considerable resources. First of all, it will build large-scale trade centers in Shandong and Liaodong, and then use this as a basis to expand the local market. trade scale.
As for the site selection in Shandong, it is no accident that Fushan County, a relatively mature regional commercial center, is selected.Although the hydrological conditions of Zhifu Port seem to be inferior to the newly built Qingdao Port in the south, in the past ten years, Fushan County has already become a distribution center and shipping center for various trade resources in Shandong, and Qingdao Port will not be able to shrink within a foreseeable period of time. gap in this regard.
According to Qiong Lianfa's plan, a trade zone no less than that of Majiazhuang will be built near Zhifu Port. In addition to the various commercial, warehousing, and transportation facilities operated by Qiong Lianfa, foreign investment will also be allowed. Merchants from all walks of life come in and share various public resources provided by Qiong Lianfa.
Such a development project is definitely a big deal in the northern region, and in return, the northern region also gave Qiong Lianfa certain preferential treatment in terms of land acquisition and taxation.
The part that has been completed so far is only the first phase of the entire trade center project, including the commercial port terminal adjacent to Zhifu Bay, a four-story commercial building, more than ten warehouses, as well as carriage and horse shops, boat shops, hotels, restaurants, etc. supporting institutions.After it is put into use, it will provide at least [-] jobs for the local area, and the economic benefits it will stimulate are even more immeasurable.
