Under the influence of his subordinates, Yan Shifan moved his mind to let Shen Mo move the place and went to tell his father. Yan Song told him that this person was in the emperor's heart, and he couldn't move easily.

Yan Shifan was a little disappointed, his panting father, but said slowly: "But he's coming back soon." ”

Yan Shifan said in his heart, you always have something that you can't finish at once, so he listened to Yan Song and said: "Your Majesty agreed with him for a five-year period, and by the end of Jiajing's forty years, it should be full." Looking at his situation now, the task of five million next year will definitely be completed, and then His Majesty should call him back and let him open a workshop, thinking that it is the step of moving the siege. ”

"His Majesty is really kind to him!" Yan Shifan said unhappily: "I haven't seen his son so well!" ”

"If you can give the court a few million taels of silver a year, Your Majesty will treat you better!" Yan Song coughed and said: "Now that Su Song's side is peaceful and on the right track, he can make money by sending someone to do so, and someone like Shen Mo who can toss is still watching in Beijing, which is reassuring." ”

Yan Shifan's heart moved, and he asked softly, "Is it what you mean, or what Your Majesty means?" ”

"What I mean," Yan Song said slowly, "But as long as you find a suitable opportunity to talk about it, Your Majesty will not object." He said with a faint smile and said: "Actually, it's not difficult at all, as long as you praise him endlessly, Your Majesty himself will be unrealistic." ”

"It turns out that Dad, you have already made up your mind," Yan Shifan said with a smile: "The child is blind." ”

"It doesn't matter if you're blind, just don't mess around!" Yan Song's voice was a little stern: "You have reached the age of not being confused, you can no longer be as arrogant and arrogant as when you were young, it's time to set an example for the children......"

Yan Shifan, as Yan Song's only son, has been doting since he was a child, and he almost never said anything serious, so he couldn't help but wonder: "Dad, what's wrong with you today, why are you talking about this?" ”

"It's nothing ......" Yan Song stopped talking a little depressedly, in fact, he remembered the sentence 'giving birth to a child should be like Shen Clumsy' on the lips of many people in the government and the opposition now, and he felt a little emotional in his heart for a while, but he also knew that the country was easy to change his surname and difficult to change, Yan Shifan had been a bastard for so many years, and it was useless to send it to the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun, so he could only go with him.

The father and son negotiated the fate of Shen Mo, and then Yan Song asked bluntly: "Which of your fox friends and dog friends is going to go?" ”

"Yan Maoqing, do you think so?" Yan Shifan asked.

"Jingqing, this kid," Yan Song muttered: "If you want to say that filial piety and ability are there, but like you, you are too greedy, I'm afraid it's not suitable for that child." ”

"Dad, if you say that, the child doesn't agree." Yan Shifan had already received Yan Maoqing's eight stunning beauties, and he had already finished his words, so he was naturally anxious to argue for him at this time: "Dad, people say 'have the right not to use, and it will be invalid when it expires', that position is to make money, can you do it if you are not greedy?" Besides, Jing Qing's filial piety is still great. ”

Yan Song thought about the New Year's holidays, and there were so many lords with oil and water under the door, and it was indeed Yan Maoqing who gave the most gifts, so he no longer objected: "Since you already have an idea, then do it, but don't ask me to wipe your ass when you get out of the basket." ”

"Look at you, you don't think we're too bad." Yan Shifan said strangely: "Now Suzhou is gone, and the business is also done, and if you go, you can enjoy the blessings and collect money, if you don't do it well, then he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill him." Yan Shifan knew that something really happened, and his father couldn't ignore it, so he wasn't afraid at all.

"Remind you." Yan Song said in an accentuated tone: "From next year, the task of five million taels of silver a year will all depend on the city's department, and all this money will be useful." Don't patronize corruption, forget about business, and when the time comes, you won't be able to collect enough money, and you will not be able to eat and walk around. ”

"Isn't it five million?" Yan Shifan smiled carelessly: "Look at Suzhou's growth of more than one million every year, after next year, more will be ours, only guard this place, you can scrape less elsewhere, the provincial dogs chew bones and dry swallows, can't eat some meat and delay things." ”

"Hmm......" Yan Song nodded slowly and said softly: "I hope so." ”

The silent relationship was all over the world, and he soon knew that he might have to be transferred back to the capital, and after the initial depression, he gradually wanted to open up...... Although he has a good relationship with Lu Bing, Xu Jie will also help him, but once Yan Song decides something, they can't screw it out. What's more, I also expected that there would be a day when I would leave Suzhou, and I was preparing for this day from the beginning, and now that the arrangement has been completed, there is nothing to worry about, but I am a little reluctant to work hard in Suzhou City for nearly five years.

After adjusting his mood, he comforted the two close subordinates and said: "You don't have to worry too much, you two are magistrates, as long as you don't make mistakes, you have to work for at least three years; It's only the first year, and there's still two years to go, and no one knows what will happen then. ”

Although the governor is the de facto highest local governor, the establishment is not among the magistrates, but belongs to the Beijing officials - most of them are attached to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, such as Shen Mo, the governor of Su Song, the full title of the official position is 'Governor Su Song of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the official title is 'Zuo Du Yushi of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and the Governor of Su Song is ordered to be the Imperial History of the Zuo Tuo Du in the front, which is actually a fictitious position that does not need to go to work, but it is his real title; When the two are matched, he is the one who has the right to seal the territory.

Needless to say, this restriction on the highest local governor was intended to maintain the relatively unique surname of the governor so that he would not have a monopoly on the local level...... After all, for a boss who is left unfixed and will be transferred away at any time, the loyalty of any subordinate will not be too great, of course, this is only the majority of the case.

Therefore, Shen Mo was promoted to governor, but there was no guarantee for his tenure, and people wanted to transfer him back, and he didn't even have to wait for the exam to be completed, as long as he announced that the task of governor of Beijing was completed, Lord Shen had to obediently report back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

So Shen Mo knew that he had no hope of staying in Suzhou anymore, but he still had some confidence that his subordinates could persevere. Because what he thought in his heart was: 'There is a way that life is rare for seventy years, Yan Ge Lao is eighty-two this year, even if the emperor still uses him in two years, it is estimated that the king of Hades will not agree...... 'As long as Yan Song dies, it will be the world of Xu Jie, and now he has tied the Xu family to the chariot of the city, and he will not worry about anything at that time.

So silently set the policy of 'standing still' against the enemy for the two comrades, and let him jump up and down, how long can he be arrogant?

But both of them felt sorry for the fruits of their labor over the years, and they both said: "You have to think of a way to prevent it, you can't let the strict party spoil it, right?" ”

Shen Mo smiled faintly, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "Don't worry, even if I leave Suzhou, the city will not change my surname, otherwise it will be an empty shelf of waste dim sum, and it will be useless at all." At this moment, Gui Youguang suddenly remembered that he was the Suzhou prefect who played with the giant businessman and the applause...... "I am the city ship, and the city ship company is me!" Shen Mo said to the two subordinates.

It's not just a relief, it's absolute confidence! Facing the incredulous gazes of the two, he smiled silently and said to Wang Yongji: "Brother Runlian, do you remember that when I was preparing for the establishment of the City Division, you asked me why there were only four people in the entire Yamen...... My promotion, you and Zhenchuan Gong are the two nominal deputy promotions, and then there is a scribe in charge of copywriting, and there is no one else. ”

"Yes, I still don't understand," Wang Yongji said: "Although on the official list of the Ministry of Officials, there are only one official, two deputies and three promotions in the city, plus a non-mainstream scribe, a total of four people, but that only shows that the imperial court only gives four people a salary, and the rest of the officials have to pay out of their own pockets, but it is not that the four of us will become a yamen." ”

"I actually did it on purpose." Shen Mo smiled: "From the very beginning, I didn't plan to build the Yamen of the Shibo Tiju Division, flesh and blood, I just wanted to borrow this tiger skin, pull a big banner, and then gather all kinds of capable people, buyers and sellers, in the name of the City Shipping Division, and organize them to set up corresponding non-governmental institutions, such as the Pingzhun Auction House, the Stock Exchange, the Futures Market, the Carriage and Horse Transportation Bank, the Mutual Insurance Society, and of course, the Huilian Bank." ”

These organizations are naturally commonplace, and they originally only thought that they were just adults for convenience and in order to save trouble, so they let those rich businessmen come forward to make a fuss, and they didn't think about it deeply, but now it sounds like there is another mystery inside.

"These institutions are actually funded by non-governmental people, and do not belong to the municipal department or the Suzhou government, but to all investors. As for the city, it is nothing more than a tenacious thread that threads these pearls into a perfect necklace that protects the safe and efficient operation of foreign trade. Then he listened to Shen Mo and continued: "It can be said that now as long as there is the right to trade legally, these organizations that cooperate perfectly with each other can carry on foreign trade perfectly, even better than when there was a market. ”

"If it was a few years ago, when these organizations had just been formed and were still very weak, with the power of the government, they could still be extinguished, and then a new order could be formed." I only heard Shen Mo say slowly: "But not now, these institutions have developed and grown, and they are intertwined with each other, and no one can do without anyone, as long as one of them goes wrong, the entire system will be paralyzed, even the most conservative estimate, the cost will be tens of millions of taels." Shen Mo sneered and said, "The imperial court still refers to this silver to pay off debts, pay salaries, and build projects." Who can afford this responsibility? Yan Shifan or Yan Song? They can't afford it, so I said, no matter who takes over my class, they have to obediently follow the rules I set, otherwise he won't be able to play, and he will have to roll up the cover and get out, or send Yunnan! ”

The first time I heard the adults and Pan explain his plan, Gui Youguang and the two were extremely shocked, although they followed Shen Mo with all their hearts, and it was impossible to have two hearts, but they were frightened by his deep scheming...... Among the dozen or so organizations that Fang Mo said just now, the two of them have cadre shares, although there are not many in each place, but it adds up to a terrible number, at first the two only thought that this was a benefit such as protection money, which was given by those people to the adults, and then the adults divided it. But now it seems that it is far from being so simple, it is clear that Shen Mo has premeditated to occupy the foreign trade system of the Ming Dynasty for a long time. Because they all know that most of these institutions are under the direct or indirect control of Silence, and a few have nothing to do with it, but they don't dare to go against the overall trend!

Now it seems that he has succeeded - he has successfully kidnapped all the forces of all sides into his chariot, whether it is an official, a rich businessman, or a wealthy family, no one dares to get out of the car, and if he gets off the car, he will fall to pieces; No one is reluctant to get off the bus, because there is endless wealth, waiting for them; It has even aroused their consciousness of defending their achievements, these people will not allow anyone to touch their territory, even the governor of the frontier, will be met with the strongest resistance!

Solved the suspicion for the two subordinates, and it was not too early, so he got up silently and said with a smile: "Forget it, don't worry about things today, let's eat first." ”

When the three of them returned to the flower hall, they unexpectedly saw Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang, and said silently and happily: "What kind of wind blew Brother Yu here?" Then he said to Qi Jiguang: "Brother Yuan Jing was able to rush back, it's really unexpected." ”

The two generals saluted silently...... As Qi Jiguang matured and was already able to take charge on his own, Yu Dayou led his subordinates to move to Fujian at the beginning of the year to deal with the pirates raging there. And Qi Jiguang also took the silent approval slip and went to Zhejiang on business, and he went for several months, but he didn't expect to rush back.

I only heard Yu Dayou laugh and said: "I also happened to have a coincidence, I was originally going to the shipyard in Shanghai to urge those bastards to hurry up and hand over the ship, but I met Yuan Jing on the way, so I followed him to Suzhou to see the little nephew, and asked the adults for a glass of wine to eat, I don't know if I am happy or not." ”

"Of course you're welcome," Shen Mo smiled and pulled him to sit side by side with him, Qi Jiguang, Gui Youguang and Wang Yongji, and Huang Jinwei sat down, the table was very large, and it seemed a little empty for six people, but there would be no more guests...... Although the full moon wine is drunk by husband and wife together, but the rule of men and women not having the same table can not be abolished, silent that these men drink in Huating, and the women of each family are under the greeting of Ruohan, and they are drinking in the embroidery building, and they are also at ease.

Shen Mo ordered the banquet to start, and after three rounds of drinking, Shen An came out from behind and said with a smile: "The third young master of my family has come to say hello to your uncles and uncles." ”

Everyone stood up and looked behind Shen An together, and sure enough, they saw a young woman holding a white and tender little doll and walking out with her head bowed, and said softly after saluting: "I've seen all uncles." Everyone smiled and returned the salute, wanting to see the silent third son, but because of the difference between men and women, it was difficult to come forward.

Shen Mo smiled and said, "Rou Niang, you give Shen An your usual hug, sit down and rest." "In the winter of last year, I picked a wind and said that it was beautiful, Ruohan asked him to take Rou Niang into the room, and in order to tie his heart, he ran to Green Willow Lane when he had nothing to do; Second, the family Rou Niang has been waiting for so many years, and it is not a matter to drag it out. Shen Mo did it half-pushing, no, it's only been more than a year, and his son is 100 years old, so it's quite a hurry.

Although Rou Niang was not very relieved, she did not dare to disobey Shen Mo's meaning, so she had to hand over her baby son to Shen An, and walked to Shen Mo's side and stood, but her eyes could not leave her son.

She was a little overly worried, and a few adults just shook the prepared gift in front of their usual eyes, teasing and teasing him, and then put the gift on the table and returned to the table to sit down.

Huang Jin smiled softly and asked: "This child's milk name is so good, it's called 'usual', people can't forget it when they hear it, Zhongcheng is really good." ”

Shen Mo smiled: "I don't dare to take credit, it is Rou Niang who has to start by herself." Everyone looked at Rou Niang, wanting to hear her opinions.

Rou Niang's face flushed, and she lowered her head and whispered: "I don't have any ambitions, I just want my children to live a peaceful and ordinary life, so I gave it such a name." ”

"It's already good," Shen Mo smiled, "The boss's name was given by Daddy, and his name is Aji; The second is the father-in-law's, called ten, in comparison, or you are more level. It made everyone laugh.

"The master made fun of me." Rou Niang's face turned even redder, and at this time, the child returned to her hands, hugged her normally tightly, and whispered: "Master, have you thought about it, what is the usual tuba called?" "Because of the power to name the boss, it is possessed by the father; named the second child, was dictated by his father-in-law, and when he came to the third child, he silently said that he wouldn't let them mix, so he had to make one himself.

Shen Mo had already thought about it, but he was just waiting for this moment when the guests and friends gathered to announce it, only to see him smile slightly and say: "The word of his generation is 'Qing', his eldest brother is called Zhiqing, and the second brother is called Shiqing, so he is called Yongqing." ”

"Yongqing, Shen Yongqing." Rou Niang read it softly a few times, feeling that although the name was simple, it was full of calmness, and she secretly rejoiced in her heart: "I can't say that I can come back like his father in the future." That's how it is to be a mother, like to associate blindly, and put gold on the child's face, but she forgot that the child's father, named Shen Hei Dog, did not affect the champion, obviously the name has nothing to do with fate.
