Chapter 389 Two Little People
After Fang Xuanling came back, he called Mondo.
"My emperor already knows about your visit this time, Your Majesty cherishes talents, and Dorjee is different from other countries.
Your Majesty is afraid that what others teach is useless to Dorjee, so you are specially authorized to teach Cheng Hong, the head of Jiangnan East Province, in person. Tomorrow, when you receive the holy decree, you will be able to go directly to Jiangnan Dongdao with the fleet. β
Mondo was overjoyed when he heard this, Cheng Hong! That's Dorjee! Dorjee painted on a thangka!
The excited Mondo almost jumped up, who doesn't know that the old sheepskin that everyone admires in Dorjee now was taught by Dorjee?
Who doesn't know that Sambuza, who has a "night owl" in charge of the night, just clicked his finger twice with Dorjee? In the eyes of the herdsmen, Cheng Hong is the incarnation of the Buddha, saving the suffering and killing all the wicked.
When Meng Duo heard that he could go to learn from Cheng Hong, he was so excited that he didn't even sleep well, and the next morning, he went to the palace gate under the leadership of Fang An early and waited!
Meng Duo respectfully stood in the palace gate pavilion and waited for the holy decree, which Li Er had heard about early in the morning, and directly ordered the draft decree to be drafted and sent to Meng Duo's hands.
Meng Duo happily followed Fang An to the Weixian wharf to look for a boat, although Meng Duo could take a special official boat to Jiangnan Dongdao.
However, the official ship was small and had to wait for time, and Mondo had no entourage, only Fang Xuanling's rationed little steward Fang An and more than a dozen family members as entourage.
Mondo is a little student, who can be unfavorable to him? In addition, Mondo is a student of Cheng Hong, this is hand-picked by His Majesty, who walks by water to beg for a living, who doesn't show a smile when he sees the Cheng family now?
Not to mention anything else, most of the goods pulled by the waterway are produced by Cheng Hong, and the daily necessities on the side of the steel mill are also made by Cheng Hong.
Then there is the small family of Guanlong, who was given a good pit by the seven surnames of Jiangnan, and the boats they bought could not be opened, so they could only live in the river, and by the way, they trained a group of people to come out.
On the sea, that is, the section of the road from Yuhang to Quanzhou, which is considered a sea route, although the back and forth does not earn much, but it is not lost.
And because the Guanlong clan wantonly transported the goods from the Central Plains to Jiangnan East Road and Lingnan Road, although most of the faΓ§ade of Quanzhou was occupied by the Jiangnan clan, there were also Hengyang, Suichang, Lianjiang, Jianyang, and Tingcheng.
There are also large and small post stations and villages developed from post stations.
Don't look like these places are inconspicuous, but this is a developing city. Not to mention anything else, after the construction of this pass, Cheng Hong scattered a lot of money and grain, and the direct impact was that the original Kuhaha had money in his hands.
There is also the fact that the county orders are trembling, and the hidden households, fugitives, and even bandits in the mountains have all run down and are registered.
After all, if you can make money safely and steadily, who wants to be afraid of lack of food and clothing in the mountains?
But then again, the previous life was not as good as in the mountains, and there was a lack of food and clothing, so I had to pay taxes on my household registration......
Although I pay taxes now, as long as I can move, I can find a job to make ends meet, regardless of whether I am young or old.
But you have to get a household registration first, and with a household registration, you can use your household registration to find a job, or build a road or build a city in Jiangnan East Road......
And on the household registration, the population of the county has risen, which is the political achievement of the county order, and even the officials have to issue an official letter to reward the population growth in these years.
In order to commend the county officials, they are becoming more and more kind to the people, and those with household registration can go to the mountains to publicize.
You don't have to take someone else to carry a bag of salt in, if someone promises to pull it out!
Cheng Hong threw money out here, worked hard to make money, and after earning money, he began to buy a family business, needles, threads, brains, cloth tools, and ......
And the Guan Long family entered Jiangnan East Road at this time, originally Jiangnan East Road was controlled by the Gu family, but after the Gu family fell, no one entered here for the time being.
The seven families in Jiangnan were busy going to sea again, and they couldn't take care of these small profits for the time being, and after the small family of Guan Long was cheated, they had no choice but to do something to pull their feet.
When you go, it's salted fish, canned food, seafood...... Some Quanzhou specialties.
When you come back, pull some needles, threads, cloths, tools, etc. I thought that as long as I didn't go back and forth, I didn't expect that this job would be very profitable!
Hengyang City to Suichang City, Lianjiang City to Jianyang City, and Ting City, in addition to Quanzhou City, which was occupied by the Jiangnan family in advance, and Yuhang Town, which is closest to the Jiangnan family, are all occupied by the Guanlong family!
The Guan Long clan was grateful for the clear road that Cheng Hong pointed out to them at that time!
And now running around on the river, except for Feng An's, there is a large fleet of Guan Long's family!
Whether it is Feng Ang or the Guan Long family, who is not allowed to give the Cheng family three points of face?
So this Mondo wants to take a boat, as long as he says that a lot of boats can send him to Jiangnan Dongdao, not only will he not collect money, but he will definitely be full of hospitality!
Whether it is Feng An's fleet or the fleet of the Guan Long clan, which one is a waterwheel cargo ship converted from a Chen-class battleship, a waterwheel on the river, and when it reaches the sea, it spreads its sails, which is called a fast!
And it is definitely much more stable than the official ship, and there is almost no need to wait for this ship, not to mention that other families have been running between Quanzhou and Chang'an almost day and night in order to quickly train qualified sailors at the beginning.
And after doing it for a while, the little stewards counted ~ hey! I actually earned a lot!
This is a big deal, I thought I was losing money and I actually made a lot of money! After returning to report to the head of the family, all the heads of the family discussed it.
Since the Jiangnan clan is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust, since you cheat us, it is not unreasonable for us to step on your territory.
So the little families found the big families with five surnames and seven hopes, and as soon as they told the matter, they immediately got support!
With the support of this group of small families, they almost don't have to worry about the loading and unloading problems at both ends, they go to the place to load, and run back quickly after loading!
The five surnamed Qiwang not only supported many shopkeepers sitting in the store, but even the merchants who walked the streets and alleys pulled more than 20,000 yuan to send them away.
At the beginning, it was to learn how to operate a boat, and now it is to seize the market as soon as possible. Opposite the entire Wei County, there is now a warehouse built by the boss, all of which are prepared for them.
Sure enough, Fang An arrived at the Weixian wharf and found the fleet of the Guanlong clan without much effort.
Fang An found the bow of the boat and explained the situation, and the bow heard that it was Cheng Hongcheng's student who wanted to take his boat, and he was very enthusiastic!
Smiled and welcomed Mondo to the ship, personally arranged the barn where Mondo lived, and instructed the sailors to buy a new quilt.
While Mondo was flattered, he also knew a lot about Cheng Hong!
For example, he was named the Marquis of Chang'an!
For example, he became a big member of the party at a young age!
For example, he is revered as the god of wealth by all merchants in Chang'an......
Mondo's only regret this time is that he couldn't go to Lu Guogong's mansion to visit, not because he didn't want to, but because the Fang family didn't seem to be willing to let Mondo go to visit.
I don't blame Fang Xuanling, if Cheng Yanjin knows about Mengduo's apprenticeship with Cheng Hong, maybe there will be some twists and turns.
This old goods are very short-guarded!
If he knew that Fang Xuanling threw the trouble to Cheng Hong, maybe he would go directly to the emperor to cry and roll, and let His Majesty change his mind.
So it's better to have more than one thing, and when Meng Duo arrives in Jiangnan Dongdao, this matter will be under Cheng Hong's control.
Although Fang Xuanling is so unseemly calculating a junior, who in the court now treats Cheng Hong as a junior?
Under these circumstances, Mondo boarded the boat bound for Yuhang Town overnight, with dreams, hopes, and longings......
And at this moment, the one who is in a similar mood to him is Zhangxiong's envoy.
Zhangxiong's envoys pulled dozens of carts of things and escorted them back to Zhangxiong with 5,000 soldiers and horses.
If you don't return home, it's like a night walk in brocade!
The envoy of Xiangxiong can be regarded as an alternative return to his hometown.
This thing is real, and you courtiers can't look down on him, but this carload of stuff is enough to gag everyone's mouth.
And Zhangxiong's envoys have also strengthened their determination, as long as they follow Datang wholeheartedly, they will definitely have food, drink and face.
If it weren't for the fear that Li Mixia would be in a hurry, I was afraid that the Zhangxiong envoy would go back after walking around Zhangxiong.
And every place must be shown, and the dialogue is as follows~
"The envoy has returned? Did things fall apart? β
"No, no, this time things went very smoothly, and Datang also calculated our wages for ten days first, and after sending them to the group of people, I replaced the rest with these treasures!
Huh? By the way, the city lord also gathered 10,000 people here, right? I still have the documents given by Datang here, let's calculate and take out the share that the city lord deserves, lest I have to go on a trip! β
"Trouble? If it's troublesome, wait until the envoy is done! β
"No trouble, no trouble! A team of 10,000 people is trivial, and the items are too expensive this time, so it's not good to always put them here for me, to be honest, I'm really worried about it along the way.
If the city lord has the heart, send me some soldiers, otherwise someone will rob me and kill me!" β
Then the envoy will take out the list, take the samples, and show them one by one, so that all the city lords will see that this is good, and that one will be more like......
And the envoy made a pot of tea there, drank it slowly, and waited for the city lords to choose.
When the city lord finished picking, he noticed the tea in the hands of the envoys, and finally the envoys had to give up some things and replace them with tea, and then, like drug addicts, took a bowl of expensive gold, took a sip, and fluttered like immortals!
Every time he went to a city, the envoy must be treated as a guest, and when the envoy came back was very different from when he went, and when he went, he begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, and finally got together people.
Not anymore, now they all take the initiative to ask the envoys: "Do you still need people over there in the Tang Dynasty?"
The envoy said in his heart~ Why did you come early?
But on the surface, it is still passable, and the envoy pretended to be sorry and shook his head: "The city is not big, this person is forced into it, if it weren't for my thin noodles, I would have been brought back a long time ago!"
But every time the envoy left, the lord of the city would spit at the head of the city and say in a sour tone that he couldn't eat the grapes: "The villain has a will!"
Indeed, this villain has indeed achieved his will!
