Yan Hong saw that his concubines were all on his side, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and persuaded in turn: "Hey, who doesn't know that my father and Shen Lian have a grudge, this Shen Xiang suddenly died full of relatives, and his heart was sad, so his brain is not good, and it is no wonder that he is talking nonsense, so let's not worry about him." Doesn't this have to do big things for the heavenly family, who can take care of it? ”

Mo Qing'er sighed: "Yes, Shen Xianggong is also quite pitiful. The man is really a dignified gentleman, although you have suffered this grievance, but you can not care about him, but invite him to eat snacks, such a kind of open-mindedness is not something ordinary people can have. ”

Yan Hong heard this, and how he looked at it seemed to be sarcastic. Hua Yuexian said again: "Hmph, I heard Xianggong say, the second young master of the Shen family, still dares to hook up with your aunt's wife?" It's an abominable thing. If it weren't for the fact that guy had already been slaughtered by the White Lotus Sect, I would have to beat him with two big ear scrapers. It's a shame that his brother still dares to come and make trouble, if I were him, I'm afraid I'll have to find a crack in the ground to get into. ”

Yan Hong thought of Xia Zisu and Shen Gon, and snorted again, but he was hesitant in his heart. Hua Yuexian said again: "That Mrs. Xia, I've heard the male monarch say it a few times." Nanjun, when the slave family was in the rivers and lakes, he had also heard of the name of Ziqing Shuangxia, and Mrs. Xia's majesty was higher than that of Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Xia is really, even if she was really teased by the surnamed Shen for a few words, it was not her business, why didn't she come back. ”

Mo Qing'er said: "Mo is not angry at the rumors of Shen Erxiang, I'm embarrassed to come to see the male monarch again." Hey, you are a magnanimous person, you will definitely not care, not to mention that it is just wishful thinking on the part of Shen Erxiang, and Sister Xia is right. Sister Zhang. Since you and Sister Xia are the same door. Why not try to find her. It would be nice if we could come here together and everyone would be lively. ”

Zhang Qingyan sighed: "How I don't want to." It's just that my senior sister is not only far better than me in martial arts, but also arrogant. She showed her face in Xuanda a few days ago, even if she didn't know where she was going, and there was no news from my teacher, but I didn't know where she was now? If she knew that her husband cared about him so much, she would be at the end of the world. It's time to come back. I'm afraid that she will be confused and deceived by someone again. ”

Yan Hong also sighed: "That's it, Zisu is strong in martial arts, and he can also take care of himself." Come on, Shen Xiang and I were angry and ate snacks in the front hall just now, and we choked a little. You drink two glasses with me. "Yan Hong drank some wine with the concubines in the back house, and sent some boredom. When he was tired at night, he left Zhang Qingyan to sleep on his side, and fell asleep after a while.

A few days after that. During the day, Yan Hong mainly dismantled official documents with Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao and others, and visited various yamen in Hangzhou. Arrange for the opening of the sea. This Zhejiang's sea-opening agency includes the city shipping department of Hangzhou and Ningbo. You must know that in the past, the city of the Ming Dynasty was the most one in a province, which was Taicang in Nanzhili, Ningbo in Zhejiang, Quanzhou in Fujian, and Guangzhou in Guangdong. Nowadays, in Zhejiang Province, there are two city divisions, which are also rare in the Ming Dynasty. In terms of personnel, it is planned that Jiang Zhou will temporarily lead the affairs of the two departments.

Before Jiajing, the city department was often under the jurisdiction of the political secretary, and the promoted officials were only for the political envoys. Including the taxes received by the municipal department, it is also directly in the hands of the chief secretary. However, the personnel structure arranged by Zhang Juzheng this time is to put forward the municipal department separately, and although its administrative measures should be ventilated to the political envoys, the power to raise taxes can not be constrained by the political envoys.

Then one of the biggest points is what to do with the tax money collected. It's a matter of human life. If it is according to the principles of Ming officialdom and the idea of the civil officials of the Qing Dynasty of the Manchu Dynasty, this tax and silver should be sent to the treasury of the Ministry of Households. However, one of the purposes of Emperor Jiajing's opening of the sea was to get some money for himself. If all the money is given to the household department, so that the long-lived lord can't get anything at all, then what will it be? Therefore, Zhang Juzheng also played a sloppy eye here. He did not say that the money was directly given to the household department in principle, nor did he say that it would be handed over to Banzai, but he instructed Jiang Zhou to strictly guard the tax and silver collected and wait for instructions from the imperial court. In this way, who the money will be given to at that time has become a matter of "wait and see". Anyway, in Zhang Juzheng's view, the most important thing now is to do the matter of opening the sea, so that tax and silver can flow from foreign countries to the Ming Dynasty, and from merchants to the imperial court. As for entering the inner and outer warehouses, it is really not the current Zhang Daqin who can call the shots. The factions, positions, and camps involved in this are not unusually much fighting for each other, and if you wait for these people to fight on the merits, the daylily will be cold.

In terms of administrative structure, in the past, the city was mainly responsible for the tributary trade of foreign ships, and the Ming Dynasty was not very rare for foreign supply and trade, so there was not much economic control over it. This time, the Maritime Pavilion and the Coastal Defense Pavilion were set up under the Municipal Shipping Division, with the Maritime Pavilion responsible for issuing guidance for ships going to sea and collecting taxes, and the Coastal Defense Pavilion responsible for arresting smugglers and guarding against unruly foreign vessels. Some of the manpower of the above-mentioned organizations were drawn from the local political secretary, the chief judge, and the naval division, but some of them were brought directly from the central government by Zhang Juzheng and Yan Hong, and some of them were candidates recommended by the Sixth Department of Nanjing.

In this process, it is necessary to balance the interests of various factions, establish supervisory organs, and formulate corresponding rules and regulations, which are all very brain-consuming. Now that the heavens are opening the sea, who are the fools of the officials in the southeast, even fools know that when the banner of the city is moved, it is all naked money! Especially now, the city department is not directly under the control of the provincial political envoy, even if it is a prince who dominates one side financially, a little bit of oil and water. On the other hand, you have to guard against those thieves in the court who are immortal forbidden sea factions, and they can't stand it if they interfere in sabotage. Fortunately, Zhang Juzheng was originally an outstanding cattle man in terms of administrative management, Yan Hong also has a lot of modern management experience, and everyone under his command is a masterpiece of the moment, and the local military and political officials headed by Hu Zongxian also worked hard to cooperate, so the arrangement was more appropriate.

It didn't take long for the shelves of Zhejiang Bosi to basically match. The promotion of Hangzhou Bo Division was temporarily concurrently held by Jiang Zhou, but Jiang Zhou was promoted after returning to Beijing. Two deputy promotions, one is called Wang Daochen, half of Hu Zongxian's friend, Jinshi fame, is regarded as a gray grandson-level figure of Yan Song's party, he was originally a six-grade general judge in Hangzhou Mansion, but now he is temporarily demoted by half a level and is in charge of the city, and when he goes back and waits for Jiang Zhou to be promoted, he is to be promoted. The other member is named Xu Dajiang, but he is a distant nephew recommended by Wei Guogong in Nanjing, and he is famous. Wang Daochen is in charge of the Maritime Pavilion, and Xu Dajiang is in charge of the Coastal Defense Pavilion. As for the armed forces directly under the city, there is also an armed force, which is nominally a seconded subordinate to the governor, but it is headed by Deng Zilong. There are not many soldiers and horses directly under Deng Zilong, a total of 400 people, of which 100 are Min Yong, 100 are Zhejiang soldiers, and 200 are local archers. Don't underestimate this bit of strength, first of all, Min Yong is brave and good at fighting, Zhejiang soldiers are famous all over the world, Yan Hong was in Taizhou with one hundred Zhejiang soldiers, killed and repelled "thousands" of rebels, beheaded "two thousand", these are legendary characters. Not to mention, behind Deng Zilong is Qi Jiguang's Zhejiang Army Group is supporting, ordinary wealthy businessmen and magnates, even if they have private armies, who dares to provoke this devil? Therefore, the city department does not have to worry about maintaining law and order under its subordinates. Several leaders of Feihu Mountain were also arranged under Deng Zilong, and they were all Yan Hong's relationship team, and they had no two hearts when they cooperated.

As for the city department in Ningbo, he is going to arrange a person named Liu Guifu to take care of it. This person was originally a Jinshi in Jiajing for 35 years, a native of Nanzhili, and took the path of Xu Gelao. It's just that how this road has passed in the past has to be seen by Ningbo. The city division also needs to send a lieutenant official to supervise, called the admiral eunuch. In this regard, Mr. Feng Bao Feng naturally has a belly case. It's just that the specific operation has to go back to Beijing. At present, the old acquaintance of the former Hangzhou weaving eunuch Shi Deen has been transferred to Guangdong to be the admiral eunuch of the Guangzhou City Bosi, and the successor he left behind is called Lu Xiaohua, who shook his head and tailed Mr. Feng for this matter, and I don't know how many drinks he invited and how many gifts he sent. Feng Bao was just confident and smiled without answering.

During the day, Yan Hong's business is busy enough. Although Zhang Juzheng is leading in terms of personnel, he also has to actively participate, and some people from the Yan Mansion in Ansai also have his own connections. At the same time, he also secretly told the local Jinyi Wei'an generals in Zhejiang to strengthen their precautions, and they don't know how many black hands are staring at the city and shipyards.

In the evening, the major wealthy merchants take turns to feast. This kind of invitation to wine is not a social affair in the officialdom, but a relationship between the rich and the official, so it is very rare to invite Yan Hong, Zhang Juzheng, and Feng Bao together, and most of them are invited to their own and eat their own, so as not to have any inconvenient transactions. Zhejiang's wealthy businessmen have the wealth of the enemy country, and they are drunk and beautiful, needless to say. It's just that Yan Hong is worried about the beautiful woman in the line, even if he spends all day drinking at the banquet, or even doing nonsense after the banquet, he always doesn't spend the night outside.

On this day, Yan Hong got up and saw another post from the study, but it was Mao Haifeng who invited him to drink. Yan Hong smiled slightly, Mao Haifeng, as the representative of the old ship owner Wang Zhi, of course invited himself for this meal. But what they talked about at the banquet was unknown. However, since Wang Zhi got into a relationship with Yan Hong, he has not given Yan Hong any benefits. In addition, the opening of the sea to trade was originally a matter of common interest between the two families, so Yan Hong said to the person who came to deliver the letter: "Return to the young shipowner, Ben Qin will go to the banquet on time tonight." ”

In the evening of the same day, Yan Hong did not wear official robes, but dressed up as a rich young man and went to the banquet. He was accompanied by more than 20 good players in the brocade guards, as well as Yan Hong's own six families, and three beauties also followed. Mao Haifeng was originally a hero on the sea, and he didn't have to be as particular about dealing with him as officialdom, and he just happened to take the women to see a lively scene.
