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

Chapter 376 Business Gathering in Suzhou and Hangzhou

Qingjiangdu Shipyard, Suzhou and Hangzhou Prefecture.

"Master Zhao, Sanbao is the most talented person I have ever met. He has learned almost all the experience of going to sea from me and many of his colleagues over the past decades."

"Master Zhao, I didn't embarrass the chief assistant, did I?"

"no!"

After Zhao Zheng possessed the Suhang Mansion puppet, his first destination was to find Ma Sanbao.

"Master Zhao, when can I go to sea?"

"Don't worry, you can go to sea soon, but in addition to the experience you need at sea, you also need other things before going to sea."

Lining Suzhou and Hangzhou, Zhao Zheng's main purpose is to stabilize local prices and leverage the local prosperous trade foundation to ensure social stability in Nanhe.

"what?"

There was no trace of childishness on Ma Sanbao's face, except for the longing for the sea in his eyes.

"Sambo, why did you go to sea?"

After getting on the carriage and driving to Suzhou and Hangzhou, Zhao Zheng handed the gift he had prepared in advance into Sanbao's arms.

"For what? Of course it's to promote our country's prestige!"

"Practice what Lord Chief Assistant taught me..."

Ma Sanbao spoke the second half of the sentence carefully while excitedly opening the gift Zhao Zheng had prepared for him.

However, after taking it apart, he was a little dumbfounded because it was not the magic weapon he imagined, but a few old classics.

"Sir Zhao, Mr. Chief Assistant once said that these things contain ancient dross, and these things are useless at sea..."

As he spoke, Ma Sanbao's dislike was not hidden at all.

“It’s true that there’s dross, but we can still get the best out of it.”

"Sambo, although you have accepted new ideas, don't forget that we are living in this era! And these classics before now, on the other side of the sea where you are going, were real artifacts."

"Yes, these classics may be useless at sea, but your ship must always dock."

"Ok."

Ma Sanbao didn't understand, so he could only accept it silently, and then opened the swinging curtains to breathe in the fresh air outside.

"King Yan wants to go to sea, and he needs a pawn. I hope you can grow into a general."

"Sambo will definitely know it!"

"I have never doubted it, and neither has the chief assistant."

"Sinan is a civilized thinker. If you are not sure, just use the old one. Don't imitate your chief assistant."

Silence fell in the carriage.

Ma Sanbao still didn't understand the twists and turns. He could only tighten the gift package Zhao Zheng gave him from time to time while looking at the passing scenery outside the window.

……

Fucheng arrived soon.

All the clan members in Suhang Prefecture were already waiting at Baihua Building.

Faintly, everyone was headed by Chen Qian, the head of the Chen family.

If not for anything else, it was because after he committed the crime, he was only removed from the official position and received some minor punishments.

"How do you think the head of the Chen family managed to escape this storm? Is it possible that there is someone above him?"

"So what if there are people above? Do you think our emperor has killed too few people above?"

"Why is that? If we can learn how to do it, we won't have to worry about anything in the future."

"I happen to know, and I can tell you now. If you can learn it, go ahead and learn it. I don't want money, I just want to be able to take care of you in the future."

"Of course!"

"Before the incident, the head of the Chen family and the old county magistrate of Qianshu County jointly disobeyed the Qian Shisi and a boatload of officials from three provinces. From their siege, beside the pool of blood of the traitor Yongjiahou, the family leader of the Zhao Mansion was killed. The spirit body was sent back to the capital."

"..."

The face of the old man who took the initiative to share was expressionless, and the faces of the other clan members who were originally full of excitement also paused.

Still studying? How to learn?

In front of everyone who was looking at each other in disbelief, Chen Qian, the head of the Chen family, was filled with joy and pride when he heard the discussion behind him.

Yes, he was the one who survived from the Zhao Mansion Inspector and Emperor Zhu Chongba.

Although he was demoted to a white body, he still suffered some punishments.

But he is still alive, and his family still has the qualifications to become an official.

"Am I still going to tell you that I have been praised by His Majesty and the Zhao Mansion? That was an evaluation made by His Majesty and the Zhao Mansion together."

In the Chen family ancestral hall, a plaque with an inscription printed from the approval document hangs in the middle.

What is written above is none other than the four characters "Shang Huai Conscience"!

At the same time, the lower right corner of the plaque also contains a beautified version of what happened on Hongze Lake in Qianshu County.

"Sigh~"

"Little brother, it seems that Mr. Zhao still has a while to arrive. You must be ready to pass on the dishes."

With the injuries on his body that have not yet healed after being tortured, Chen Qian looked at the shopkeeper beside him and looked so amiable.

"Everything is ready, Master Chen, don't worry."

The waiter who used to be called "second brother" by Zhao Zheng's first assistant, has now transformed into the shopkeeper of Baihualou.

Apart from Chen Qian, the head of the Chen family, he was the most excited at the scene.

……

"What! Mr. Zhao! Although our Suzhou and Hangzhou are close to the Nanhe River, our city is in the south of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou in the middle. If we keep the price of transporting grain in the past, not only will we not make any profit, but we may also have to go to Is there any money inside?"

Before taking the sword, he always gave people a meal to decapitate him. After drinking for three rounds, Zhao Zhengcai told these people the purpose of gathering them.

Beside Zhao Zheng, Ma Sanbao and Chen Qian were surprised, but they were still able to hold their own, knowing that Zhao Zheng must have a reason for the incident.

But the other clans and business negotiators in front of them were unsettled.

Although the saying "if you don't make money, you lose money" is not yet systematic, this concept has been around for a long time.

Not to mention how much it costs to transport grain all the way to Nanhe, they won't let them raise the price after it's shipped!

Wouldn't this cost them their lives?

"Everyone, be quiet first, be quiet!"

"There must be a reason why Mr. Zhao wants us to do this!"

Chen Qian was a sensible person. When he saw that the discussion was almost over, he stood up in time to stop them from talking.

Everyone calmed down and focused their attention on Zhao Zheng again. At the same time, they woke up and finally saw that Zhao Zheng had put his hand on the whip on his waist, and a thin layer of cold sweat began to break out on his back.

This time, Jin Yiwei was specially ordered by Zhao Zheng not to enter Baihua Tower, but the sword was still there.

"Hmph, then Zhao will speak out."

"Now that we transport the grain there, we just don't get any profit. If we wait for the imperial court to issue an order, it won't be a problem that we don't get any profit."

One person plays the bad guy, and the other plays the red face.

Zhao Zheng was only suitable for being a white face, but Chen Qian was very sensible and took the initiative to become the red face, so Zhao Zheng saved his life in vain.

"A decree?"

"Master Zhao, could it be that some natural or man-made disaster happened in Nanhe?"

Seeing Zhao Zheng getting angry, someone asked cautiously.

"What do you say?"

"The frost disaster has spread to the three provinces of Hunan, Jiangsu and Hangzhou. There should be some talented people in your family who receive imperial salary, right?"

"Why, it seems like you don't know yet?"

"The vast areas of Hubei, Suzhou and Hangzhou, and Nanhe are almost empty shells. Who do you think His Majesty should look for when he arrives?"

It’s easy to talk behind closed doors.

After seeing Zhao Zheng's reminder, everyone suddenly realized that Zhao Zheng was not afraid of them telling them.

Because on the surface, he is saving these people.

But at the same time, he is also making these people do things willingly. After all, who is more effective, passive or active, needless to say.

It is really too slow to rush eight hundred miles.
