If you don't come, you won't come, and if you come, you will come four, and Feng Ziying can already feel the unusual attention from the imperial court when she receives the letter.

Lian led the team in state affairs, and Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng, and Wu Fu followed.

Their group came quickly, almost the third day after Feng Ziying's third letter arrived, and they began to set off for the south.

After reading the letter, Feng Ziying also found it quite interesting.

Among the four people who came, Lian Guoshi and Fan Jingwen were northern scholars, while He Fengsheng was a Huguang scholar, and Wu Fu was an out-and-out Jiangnan scholar.

Putting down the letter, Feng Ziying glanced at Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing, who were sitting opposite her, "I have a few classmates and colleagues who will come to help us in a few days, so I can also breathe a sigh of relief." ”

Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing are both moved in their hearts, classmates and colleagues, who are basically from Jinshi.

"Don't be too nervous, they basically haven't had much contact with the specific affairs below, the main purpose of coming is to familiarize themselves with the exercise, of course, their identity can indeed suppress the field, but in terms of actual operation ability, it may be far worse than you."

Wang Wenyan laughed, "Adults, these classmates are all Jinshi, and they must all have the ability, which is just a process of adaptation,......"

"It's different, the scope and way of their work is different from yours, many specific things, they can only be a bystander and learner, which they need to make clear to them, don't jump to conclusions, but need more observation, understanding and discussion."

Feng Ziying will not easily entrust her classmates with important responsibilities or trust, maybe their mentality and enthusiasm are good, but to do these things well, they still lack too much, the only advantage is their positive attitude, well, and identity.

"Don't worry, you know, you know." Wang Wenyan was born as a clerk, and he knows very well what he means as a new owner, these newcomers should be more to seek a kind of exercise and sharpening, of course, it is also a kind of gilding, such a brilliant result, as long as the participants go back, they will inevitably get a good result.

"Well, it will take a few more days for them to arrive, but we can't stop doing things here, and I have to arrange some things for them first, and when they get acquainted with them for a while, I may have to go back to Beijing."

Guan Yingzhen also specifically mentioned this point in his letter, asking him to return to Beijing as soon as possible after arranging this side of affairs, and make a comprehensive report to the cabinet and the emperor on the affairs of Dongfan.

This is also what Feng Ziying wants to achieve.

Dongfan salt is a bait, of course, it is a very fat bait, but the comprehensive reclamation of the entire Dongfan is the goal.

If Dongfan Island can be cultivated well, it will be easy to absorb 350,000 landless displaced people in a short period of time, that is, within 10 years, and it may even reach the level of a mainland government in 350 years, and it will be easy to have a population of one million.

More importantly, it is much more convenient to control Dongban in the future, whether it is to go south to Luzon and Sulu in the South Seas, or to control the Ryukyus and influence Korea and Japan in the north, and the good climate and abundant products of Dongfan are enough to make this island a real treasure island.

"Your Excellency wants to go back to Beijing?" Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing were a little surprised.

"Wenyan, Yaoqing, you don't think that this is really an official yamen, I am really the head of the yamen, right?" Feng Ziying laughed, "I'm just a temporary advance team sent out by the Zhongshu Division, to do this thing first, I can't take everything in my hands alone, that's impossible, and it doesn't conform to the regulations of the imperial court, many major things can't even be decided by the Zhongshu Division, and they still need to report to the emperor and the cabinet to make a decision, like the Dongfan matter, I will definitely have to go back to report, but I will come back soon, I will start the matter of opening the sea and borrowing debts, and then I can let a few of my classmates contact and take over slowly, As for the affairs of the silver village, I have to be in charge of it,......"

Feng Ziying had already thought about it, whether it was Dongfan affairs, open sea bonds, or concession money, these could be handed over slowly, but he had to grasp the matter of Yinzhuang.

Even if you want to find someone to take over in the future, you have to be absolutely credible.

Whether it is practicing state affairs, Fan Jingwen, or He Fengsheng, they all still need to be investigated.

He knew that he couldn't hold all of this in his hands, and Guan Yingzhen sent so many people south at one time, obviously realizing this.

I didn't realize that there would be such a remarkable achievement and the power it would bring, so now I naturally have to hold on to it, which is also normal and in line with expectations.

Thinking of this, Feng Ziying couldn't help grinning, it seems that no one can escape the word fame and fortune, even a humble gentleman like Guan Yingzhen, well, how can Master Qi and Master Qiao not be like this?

"My lord, according to your request, representatives of the eight households and twelve families have arrived."

"It's all here?" The corners of Feng Ziying's mouth curled slightly, she had done so much preparation work in the early stage, and she had built enough, and now she was waiting for this wave.

"Well, it's basically all here, it's all according to your requirements, either the head of the family, or you can make decisions at home, only a few people have not arrived." Wang Wenyan hesitated.

"Sick yet?" Feng Ziying ignored Wang Wenyan's hesitant look, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a touch of coldness made Wang Wenyan feel piercing, "Maybe the number of these eight households and twelve families is too much, well, go and invite Master Su from the Dragon Forbidden Captain to come over, I'll talk to him first." ”

The atmosphere of the salt merchants in the room is still a little different from the last time the maritime merchants gathered, the last time was honestly afraid, after all, the charter qualifications of the maritime merchants are in the hands of the Chinese Shuke, and no one wants to be eliminated, but this time it is different.

The strength and background behind the salt merchants are far from being comparable to those of the maritime merchants.

If the maritime merchants are far from the salt merchants in terms of capital strength, they are more limited to the local area in terms of background, and more rely on the local government or some connections in their own families to reflect, and these salt merchants are really a hundred years of accumulation, involving not only local officials but directly to the sky, and almost all of them are entangled interests, rather than superficial feelings.

Just by virtue of this latter point, the salt merchants have this qualification.

Not to mention that there is one more key point.

This is the business of the Chinese Book Department, not the matter of the Yamen of the salt transportation envoy.

Even if you have a good relationship with the Imperial History of Salt Patrol, you may even become the son-in-law of the Imperial Historian, so what?

Not to mention that this relationship is impossible to put on the table, and who doesn't know that Lord Lin is now terminally ill and has been a person for a few days, and there are even rumors that the imperial court has determined a new imperial history of salt patrol and is about to take office.

In such a situation, who can you, a quasi-son-in-law of the salt patrol imperial history who is about to come to an end, intimidate?

Of course, you are an official of the imperial court, and the strategy of opening the sea is indeed a plan of the imperial court, and the Chinese calligraphy department holds the power to open the sea, which is related to the interests of the entire Jiangnan, and the gentry in Jiangnan are all looking up, and everyone will give you a little thin face, and the respect on the scene must be in place, and even if you put forward some requirements and ideas, as long as it is not excessive, everyone will follow.

But you have to understand that there is a bottom line here, and it can't be excessive, and this is not our salt merchant's job.

It is love to give you, and it is duty not to give it to you.

At least Feng Ziying gained a lot of such feelings from behind the humility and politeness of these salt merchants when she looked around at the next dry salt merchants.

Each of these 20 salt merchants has been driven twice, three or even four times.

When Emperor Taishang traveled south to the south of the Yangtze River, he stayed in Yangzhou, Jinling, Hangzhou, and Suzhou, and even wrote poems and paintings, leaving ink treasures.

Although most of these salt merchants Feng Ziying has never seen them, but for so long, with the repeated introductions and indoctrination of Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing, he is no stranger to these salt merchants, and he can even be very proficient in telling the names and names of the eight families and the family members, and even know some secrets.

But that's not what Feng Ziying wants.

These people are salt merchants, not other groups, and other effective means may not be suitable for these people.

If the knife stabs the monkey, it may not kill the monkey, but it may not kill the monkey, but it may splash its own blood.

Compared with the maritime merchants, the salt merchants are indeed much more aware of the ability to perceive the wind and distinguish colors, at least on the bright side, they have to do much more beautifully.

As soon as Feng Ziying stepped into the flower hall, the salt merchants, young and old, all got up early to salute, and they were all respectful, with gentle and humble smiles on their faces, so that you couldn't find any fault.

Feng Ziying realized that this matter might not be easy to handle.

It's no wonder that Su Qianhu, who was in Nanzhili, who was in Nanzhili, had been frowning and silent when he heard that he had introduced the situation of the salt merchants, and he didn't make a clear statement until he finished speaking, only saying that he needed to decide according to the situation.

This is a euphemistic excuse, Feng Ziying has a certain psychological preparation, but this is under the premise that Lu Song has a clear instruction to this person, it is still so ambiguous, it can't help but make people feel shocked.

Entrenched for a hundred years, if they can be overturned at will, these salt merchants are not worthy of sitting here, but in order to achieve their goals and complete the tasks above, Feng Ziying also knows that some people must be wiped out.

Sometimes, it's original sin when you're in that position, and a hundred other reasons can be found.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am very happy to see you here,......, maybe you are not very familiar with me, or you know who he is, but you don't know the purpose of this official's coming south,......, well, and even many people will wonder how we found our heads, is the imperial court going to do some kind of donation and apportionment,......"
