So far, Feng Ziying thinks that he has basically exceeded his goal, although the affairs of Kaihai bonds and Yinzhuang IPO have not yet been officially launched, but with the early contact, he already has confidence in his heart.

The income from the concession was slightly lower than Feng Ziying's estimate, but for Emperor Yonglong and the cabinet, it should be very satisfied.

Although Qi Yongtai and Zheng Jizhi did not put forward specific requirements, Guan Yingzhen still revealed a rough bottom line to Feng Ziying, and the concession money of Nanzhi, Zhejiang, and Fujian provinces should strive for an income of more than 800,000 taels this year, and through their own work, they have exceeded the quota, but there is a slight gap from the 1.2 million taels that Feng Ziying himself demarcated.

And the extra income of Dongfan Salt is enough for him to face the cabinet and the emperor with confidence.

It's just a windfall.

According to their ideas, they are ready to win the right to develop and operate the salt works on the right bank for ten years, but there is no problem in relocation, resettlement, salt production and salt drying, and even armed reclamation, but this is a problem in how to make the produced salt be marketed in Dazhou.

Moreover, if you want to quickly roll out the reclamation in an all-round way, the capital investment is also quite large, especially under the premise that you need to pay a considerable amount of exclusive fees to the imperial court, the three families are a little stretched, so they will readily accept Feng Ziying's suggestion that they and the salt merchants join hands to form a development consortium.

"Two million taels in ten years, to be honest, it's not much." Lin Ruhai stroked his chin, "If the right bank salt field in Dongfan is really as impressive as you described, and can even catch up with the two Huai salt fields, then not to mention two million, even three million is worth it." ”

"The natural conditions of the salt field will certainly not be bad, the terrain of the east and west coast is low, there is almost no precipitation in winter, and the sunshine is good, the sea salinity is high, this is a fact, but there are many difficulties, there is almost a wasteland, there is no one to live, to build a salt field, first to people, to face the miasma, need to move people from Fujian, and all the food and clothing expenses of these people in the short term need to be transported from Fujian, this expenditure is not small,......"

Feng Ziying was discussing with Lin Ruhai, "According to my discussion with Lian Wenzhuang, Lin Huosheng and others, at least 300 to 500 families will need to move in at the initial stage, and because of the threat of local mountain people, Wang Jiuyu will also prepare 1,200 powerful armed forces to follow ,......

Lin Ruhai has also been immersed in salt affairs for many years, so he is naturally no stranger to this.

"Pretty much the same, it will take three years for the salt pans to be basically formed, and if we can start to harvest something from the fifth year, it will be good,......

"These are a little weaker, but they are the head snakes of Fujian, familiar with the sea, and Wang Jiuyu, a private salt dealer, these aspects are combined, it can be regarded as a suitable target, if one or two more salt merchants join in, it will be more suitable."

Feng Ziying's words made Lin Ruhai laugh, "Ziying, don't you want this Fujian merchant to monopolize this salt farm on the right bank, right?" Yangzhou salt merchants can balance the power of the other party when they join in, so that you can control it in the future, who can not see this? ”

"What can you see? Even this condition is not acceptable, can the imperial court still allow the existence of a foreign land, and it is also a land of salt production, it is impossible to think about it, even Wenzhuang and Lin Huosheng agreed so happily, that is also to understand this, like that Zhu Boheng, if he is still so stupid, he can only be expelled. ”

Feng Ziying pursed her lips contemptuously.

"Ziying, then Zhu Boheng has probably been discussed with Lian and Lin a long time ago, someone has to play an opponent, right? Otherwise, you might have to come up with more tricks. Lin Ruhai smiled faintly, "These businessmen and gentry are not tempered by thousands of tempers, and such small tricks have long been used with ease." ”

Feng Ziying was stunned for a moment, imagining that it really seemed to be like that.

If it weren't for which Zhu Boheng was there to oppose in every way, and even made a posture of tearing his face and splitting up, maybe he might have put forward higher requirements in other aspects.

This hand is advancing and retreating, and these guys are really playing smoothly.

Seeing that Feng Ziying had an understanding, Lin Ruhai didn't care, which young man didn't come from this situation?

"But it's almost, Ziying, as you said, the investment in this initial development may be much higher than they imagined, the impact of weather, soil and water adaptation and epidemic disease is probably greater than imagined, and the uncertain factor of mountain people is also difficult to predict, stay one step as a man, two million taels of silver, it should be far beyond the prediction of the imperial court, Uncle Yu thinks that you are probably about to become a good money boy in the minds of all the elders, and you can go to the household department to do a main job."

Lin Ruhai still had some words that he hadn't said thoroughly, but he believed that Feng Ziying could understand that Mu Xiu's truth that Lin Feng would destroy it was self-evident.

Compared with his peers, Feng Ziying is already too outstanding, although he will be proud of the emperor's blue eyes now because of his master's background, but if it continues like this, I am afraid it may not be a good thing.

For example, the income from the concession did not meet Feng Ziying's own expectations, which is even a good thing in Lin Ruhai's opinion.

If the sale of Kaihai bonds is too smooth, and the Yinzhuang IPO is also very popular, Lin Ruhai really has to worry.

Fortunately, Feng Ziying took the initiative to raise 50,000 taels of shares, and this move to show people's weakness can be regarded as reassuring Lin Ruhai a little.

Judging from Feng Ziying's performance now, he is too perfect, which is not a good thing, and even very dangerous.

And if he goes too smoothly in the early stage, more and more people will intentionally or unintentionally set up obstacles for him, and even suppress and exclude him.

Fortunately, his current grade is not too high, from the sixth grade, but this age is too dazzling.

"Uncle, do you think that after the little nephew's affairs of opening the sea are over, should he go to the sixth department, or go to the next place?" Feng Ziying could also feel the deep meaning and worry contained in Lin Ruhai's words, and said calmly: "Master Qiao once mentioned it to his little nephew, saying that the position of cultivating from the sixth grade is too dazzling, and it is a good thing at the moment, but it is not appropriate to follow suit, even if there is a new merit in the affairs of opening the sea, it is also advisable to find other rewards." ”

Lin Ruhai's face showed a look of relief, Qiao Yingjia, an old fox, could still see it clearly.

Qi Yongtai didn't see it, but probably felt that he had him as his backing, so he didn't care too much, he was too high in the position of the elder of the pavilion, but it was difficult to feel something.

And Guan Yingzhen is afraid that he is now blinded by the affairs of the opening of the sea, and he has no time to take care of it for the time being, but he will definitely be able to realize it in the future, but this Qiao Yingjia is the most sober when he looks at it coldly.

"Ziying, what do you think of yourself?" Lin Ruhai groaned.

"It's hard for the little nephew to choose." Feng Ziying thought for a while, "It turns out that Master Qi intends to let the little nephew go to the Ministry of Officials, but it is estimated that he will be criticized by some outside, so Master Qi considers that if he can, he can go to the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of Households, and wait until he has been in office for two years in the first term of office, and then consider the Ministry of Officials or go directly to the Ministry of Households, but the little nephew feels that if he does not have the experience of serving in a prefecture and county, it will be difficult to truly understand the current civil suffering and administrative affairs of the Great Zhou, so he still feels that it is necessary to go to the local area to polish it,......"

Lin Ruhai thought about it, Feng Ziying was revised by the Hanlin Academy last year, according to the tenure and practice of Jinshi and Shujishi, after the three-year Jinshi Guanzheng period expires, then there must be a three-level increase.

Feng Ziying is already from the sixth rank now, and if she is three levels above, she may be directly a fifth-grade official, which will almost break the historical record of the Great Zhou officialdom.

"You don't want to stay in Kyori?" Lin Ruhai frowned slightly, "Jingshi is easy to get out and difficult to enter, you have to figure it out." ”

Feng Ziying smiled, "Uncle, the little nephew is still young, if you just want to stay in Beijing and be comfortable, it won't make much sense." ”

Lin Ruhai thought about it, the other party will only be eighteen years old next year, and he will have to go down to polish for two years, and if there is such a stroke on his resume in the future, it will be much easier to say many things, as for saying that it is difficult to enter Beijing, it may be for others, but I am afraid it will not be a matter for him.

"Well, since you have made up your mind, it's not impossible to go to the place, but Uncle Yu suggests that you better start with assistance, don't be blindly ambitious, strong and competitive, local chores are quite different from such court plans, although you are talented, you must slowly get familiar with it, especially the local gentry are intertwined, and you need to deal with it carefully,......"

Lin Ruhai's meaning is also very clear, Feng Ziying is too young, the local is not as good as the court, your great achievements may not be easy to put below, it is very important to establish prestige, if you can choose a suitable government to serve as a Tongzhi, polish for two years, you can not only have the mind to figure out local affairs, but also avoid taking too big risks, and wait until you have a certain experience in governance before thinking about other things.

"Little nephew understands."

Feng Ziying also knows that she can think like this, but often some things may not be able to help herself.

The situation in the DPRK is changing, and it is estimated that the affairs of opening the sea will last for a year or two before it can be slowly put on the right track, and it is estimated that he will not be able to get out of it for the time being, even if he returns to the capital city, it will take some time for the affairs of the Chinese calligraphy department to be slowly straightened out, and it is impossible for Guan Yingzhen to let himself go at this time, and I don't know what kind of situation will be there at that time.

Especially the intricate relationship between Emperor Taishang, Prince Yizhong and Emperor Yonglong, Feng Ziying estimates that it will become increasingly tense in the next two or three years.

Prince Yizhong may not have such good patience, especially when he sees that the situation drags on and becomes more and more unfavorable to him, whether he will look for opportunities to take risks in the past two years, and whether the Emperor Taishang can still control the situation, it is really difficult to say.
