Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

"Master Shoufu! Master Shoufu!"

"News from Jinyiwei of Dongshan Mansion!"

"After they conducted a comprehensive investigation of all the docks in Dongshan Prefecture in the past few days, they did not find any traces of thieves!"

"But a local fisherman found a Chinese military boat when he went fishing!"

Eventful autumn.

Zhao Zheng recalled an event that would have happened in his previous life at this moment.

"What's going on on that ship?"

"According to the guess of the general of the local guard, it should be the scout ship made by the guard of Liaodong Prefecture."

"Is there no one there?"

"There was blood, no one."

Zhao Zheng frowned, and quickly looked at the map.

"It's already the autumn of 16. The army led by Xu Shuai and the others should have arrived in Liaodong, right?"

"It's here, just a few days ago."

Jiang Xian stood aside and answered quickly.

"That's weird, Xu Shuai is clearly planning to attack Jurchen, why did he send a scout ship?"

"Have it!"

"General Jiang! Hurry up and get me the list of the Jurchen's transactions in the exchange market that I checked earlier! It's on the desk in my room!"

"Yes!"

While waiting, Zhao Zheng subconsciously glanced to the north.

He is in the south of the Yangtze River, and Xu Shuai is in the north.

The two are thousands of miles apart, can they really have a tacit understanding?

"Master Shoufu! Here we come!"

"Give it to me!"

Zhao Zheng took the list.

"That's right! That's right!"

"Tea, salt, and porcelain all have records of large transactions, but rice does not!"

"General Jiang, did the ship we checked earlier transport rice as well!"

"Yes!"

"The ship was originally going to transport rice to Dongshan Prefecture, but we later found out through price comparison that this transaction was too outrageous."

"After all, if Dongshan Mansion wants rice, wouldn't it be closer and cheaper to go directly from Beihe Mansion and Nanhe Mansion?"

Jiang Xian didn't just look for the previous transaction list.

He also found the local grain price list in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

"The rice in Suhang Mansion was previously reduced to 180 Wen due to His Majesty's will."

"But at that time, the price of rice in Dongshan Mansion was 160 cash!"

"And the price of rice in the neighboring Beihe and Nanhe provinces is only 130 cash!"

"Jiangnan!!!"

Zhao Zheng looked at Jiang Xian, and gave him the location of Jurchen on the map.

"Xu Shuai must also be in the Liaodong Mansion. He didn't find any traces of me smuggling grain to the Jurchens!"

"So he thought of the waterway and sent this scout ship."

"However, he didn't expect that these smugglers actually have private armed forces!"

"These people are really brave!"

"Go and interrogate all the family members that the ship belongs to me again!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Xian immediately recruited a subordinate and gave the order.

"Also! Let me check the family behind the grain ship that has registered with the local government to transport grain out of the government in the past year!"

"Yes! The last general has just given orders."

Zhao Zheng didn't even think of Jiang Xian's thoughtfulness.

Almost forgot, others are professionals.

"Then you go in person and bring King Jingjiang to Zhao!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Xian was finally dismissed.

Zhao Zheng was left alone at the scene, looking at the north of Dongshan Mansion.

He sat down on the chair.

The eyes closed and opened, and there was no more agility than before.

……

Capital, Zhao Mansion.

Zhao Zheng's consciousness has already possessed No.20 No. [-] puppet.

"Master, you are back."

The other puppet clan members rushed forward to greet them.

"Has there been any urgent military reports about Dongshan Mansion from the capital recently?"

"Back to the master, no."

"Then go find a virtuous Jinyi guard immediately and ask him to report to Mao Xiang that there may be bandits in Dongshan Mansion who have invaded my border!"

"This credit cannot be taken away by others! Mao Xiang's position should also be mentioned."

"Yes!"

Several members of the puppet tribe hurried to the Zhao Mansion Academy and informed the Virtuous Jinyiwei there.

In the capital, the envoy of the Jinyi Guard of Virtue.

"Comrade Commander, a letter from the Zhao Mansion!"

"A letter from the Zhao residence? Didn't Mr. Shoufu go to Jiangnan?"

"Show me now!"

Mao Xiang hurriedly asked for the letter and checked the contents.

"There may be bandits in Dongshan Prefecture colluding with Jiangnan rebels to smuggle grain and Jurchen, and secretly commit crimes..."

"quick!"

"Immediately wake up all the dark people in Dongshan Mansion! Let me all go to inspect the coastline of Dongshan Mansion."

"Yes!"

……

"What's the matter with Mr. Shoufu looking for Xiao Wang?"

Jingjiang Wang Zhuqian arrived at Baihualou.

"It's nothing, Zhao wants to borrow the prince's steamboat!"

"There shouldn't be any taboo here, right?"

"No no!"

Jingjiang Wang Zhu Qian quickly waved his hand.

Zhao Zheng asked him to take full responsibility for the elephant trampling the ant colony now, and he will definitely get a lot of credit when he returns to Beijing in the future, but he is worried that he has nothing to repay.

Just a steamship.

This thing controls the world, and the Zhao family, even if it comes to Emperor Zhu Chongba, it will be an exception.

"Then Zhao will thank the prince!"

After Zhao Zheng thanked him, he was in a hurry and walked out.

Jiang Xian turned around to grab the things in his room, and quickly followed.

"Master Zhao, are you leaving now?"

"Xiao Wang has something else to ask!"

"what's up?"

Zhu Qian, King of Jingjiang, never thought that Zhao Zheng was in such a hurry. He borrowed his boat on the spot and was about to leave immediately, so he hurried to catch up with Zhao Zheng.

"It's like this. There are many local nobles who are unwilling to participate in the contracting of this railway line."

"They also have some complaints about the price range you set, Mr. Zhao..."

"The gentry are quite critical? What about the common people?"

Zhao Zheng looked back at Zhu Qian with a smile.

"That is naturally extremely supportive."

Jingjiang Wang Zhu Qian replied with some embarrassment.

Yes, the common people support it, but the gentry do not.

If you were any prince, you would definitely not be afraid of this.

But now he is dealing with it.

The influence of the fighting power of the Jiangnan gentry on his current embarrassing situation is not a joke.

"If that's the case, then it's easy to handle."

Fortunately, Zhao Zheng also knew what was going on with Zhu Qian.

He took out his Shoufu seal from the things Jiang Xian was holding beside him.

I found another blank sheet of cloth.

Snapped!

He directly stamped his first assistant seal in the corner.

"My lord, please add this list to—"

"From today, the taxes and fees paid by the people in the south of the Yangtze River will be halved!"

"what!"

"Lord Zhao, the tax on Jiangnan is an order from His Majesty! Can't it be changed?"

Jingjiang Wang Zhu Qian couldn't calm down anymore.

"Your Majesty has also issued an order that the livelihood of the people in the world will be handed over to Zhao!"

"Also, my lord, do you really think that building a railway line is a bad thing for these businessmen in Jiangnan?"

"Reducing taxes for the common people is Zhao's biggest concession to them!"

"If not, then find Jin Yiwei to investigate the smuggling of food and grass and arrest them all!"

"At that time, what Zhao wants is not their little money!"

Zhu Qian, King of Jingjiang, looked at the killing intent under Zhao Zheng's smile, and finally dared not say any more.

It doesn't matter if you understand it or not, just nod your head.
