Chapter 521: T-Zone’s momentum is growing day by day
When I returned to the study room at home, I saw the pile of posts on the desk.
Feng Ziying was also a little helpless.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves, and clouds move in all directions. The two things are so involved and the interests are so huge that they cannot help but move people's minds.
Today, Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizong approached him to discuss how to open the Denglai-Liaonan route as soon as possible. This was because they had received some news and had contacted some Jiangnan maritime merchants, and they might be able to attract some maritime merchants. Go north to Denglai and Liaonan.
The various possibilities and demands put forward by Feng Ziying at the court meeting also attracted the minds of countless people.
If the bank can really attract the Ministry of Household Affairs to open an account to deposit silver, this will undoubtedly be an endorsement guarantee from the court, and the next step will be much easier.
And the business model of this bank is completely different from the current banks and money shops in Jingshi and Jiangnan. Not only can it provide services that connect the world, but the key is that it does not charge custody fees. This is the most critical thing.
At present, banks and money shops charge handling fees when making a deposit, and if the money is deposited again, it must be withdrawn from another place, and storage fees are also charged. This is the pattern.
These rules are not friendly to these merchants, but from the perspective of convenience, they are increasingly needed by business in Jiangnan, both sides of the Yangtze River, the canal, and the frontier areas of Xi'an, Datong, and Taiyuan. .
Although the Liaonan-Denglai logistics supply route and shipbuilding instructions should be based on the Denglai Governor's Yamen, Feng Ziying must still help with the early preparations and specific coordination strategies with the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry.
This is a big deal, which naturally attracts the covetousness of Jiangnan merchants.
Similarly, when it comes to the specific handling of debt, although it will definitely be handled by the Ministry of Household Affairs, it seems inappropriate for the departments of the Ministry of Household and even the Department of Affairs to handle it at present, and this does not only involve borrowing, but also involves Collection of royalties.
The Municipal Shipping Department is only responsible for maritime trade matters and customs tax collection, and it has been abandoned for a long time. It needs to be completely restarted. How to set it up and its responsibilities and tasks need to be discussed in detail. Here, the cabinet, the Ministry of Revenue and the officials The department will also be consulted.
This in turn made countless officials from Beijing, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong and Guangdong take notice of the news and flock to it.
Who doesn’t know that this is a good job?
Although the rank has not been clearly defined, it is conceivable that if the system of the previous Ming Dynasty is followed, there will be a promotion from the sixth rank, as well as a deputy promotion and a group of ambassadors and deputies, all of which are hot and lucrative positions.
Especially for positions like these in the Municipal Shipping Department, unlike other noble positions, one must be from the imperial examination, which means that both Enyin and Zonguan have the opportunity to compete for such positions.
The bank matter has touched the hearts of millions of people. It is estimated that countless officials and the businessmen behind them want to know the inside secrets and see whether it is profitable or risky. In addition, where will the bank be established? How to conduct business is also a concern of countless people.
Seeing Feng Ziying sitting at the desk, looking at the posts piled up in front of her, she remained motionless, just in a daze. Xiangling next to her had already said softly: "Master, this is what Ruixiang sent in. Nu and Yun Shang So according to what I mentioned before, we divided the people in the court and those from other places, as well as the merchants. Here, these belong to the officials in the court, these belong to the officials from other places, and these belong to the merchants in the guild hall. They are also divided into regions. , this one is from the north, that one is from the south,..."
This girl is quite attentive, and Feng Ziying's heart moved slightly.
Even Ruixiang and Baoxiang could not come in to the inner study, so I had to rely on my own maid to clean it.
Jin Chuan'er, Xiang Ling and Yun Shang are all literate, only Yu Chuan'er is barely able to read, but since he feels that he values the fact that several of his sisters are literate, Yu Chuan'er is also practicing calligraphy very seriously now.
Originally, only Yun Shang could come to this study. Later, after confirming Xiang Ling's identity, Xiang Ling was able to come in as well.
The ability to enter the inner study seems to have become a threshold. Of course, Jin Chuaner can also come in now.
Girls are less likely to be bribed, well, especially girls who are combed and have a bright future, it is almost impossible to be bribed.
I browsed through some casually, and found that most of them were posts from seventh- and eighth-rank officials, and some even claimed to be late-born, which made Feng Ziying's teeth sore.
As expected, I found a few posts with neat handwriting and read them. They were nothing more than Pian Si Li Liu Gu and cleverly written words, introducing myself. Well, it felt a bit like self-recommendation.
It’s no wonder that there are three city shipping departments once built, which means that there will be three promotion envoys from the sixth rank, three deputy promotions from the seventh rank, and several ambassadors and deputy ambassadors from the eighth rank.
Although this is not more noble than being an official in the capital, for the officials who have traveled thousands of miles to become officials just for wealth, it is an extremely fat job.
Now the voices from the DPRK and China have spread, not to mention Guangzhou, Ningbo is basically confirmed, but Quanzhou and Zhangzhou have to choose another one, which is to add one to the original basis. This makes people inside and outside cheer for Ningbo. The other side is relieved, and the Fujian side is also comforted. As for the internal struggles among you Fujian people, that is your own business.
In this argument, it is impossible for an official from the Shibo Tiju Division to have the turn of Feng Ziying, a editor of the Hanlin Academy, to intervene, but who could let himself be the favorite disciple of Qi Yongtai, the elder of the cabinet and the minister of the Ministry of official affairs?
Who asked this matter to be brought up by himself, and came up with a lot of policies on the daily affairs of the Municipal Bureau?
In the eyes of many people, Feng Ziying at least has a lot of say over the envoys and deputy envoys.
In fact, this view is correct. It is estimated that when the Shiboti Judicial Office was established, the Ministry of Officials would come to ask for some opinions, whether it was ceremonial or sincere. If the appointed official took office But he is not qualified for the job, and I am afraid it will be difficult for the Ministry of Personnel to pay the vote.
After flipping through a few copies, Feng Ziying lost interest. He didn't bother to ask more about such trivial matters. The key was that he didn't know anything about the character of these people. Most of them were candidates who had not yet been dismissed from office in Beijing.
Thinking of this, Feng Ziying started to miss Wang Wenyan a little. With a person like Wang Wenyan, just leave it to him, and it won't take long before he can find out the details of these people. If they really have talents that can be cultivated, It’s worth recommending.
However, Lin Ruhai can't do without Wang Wenyan for the time being, and he also has some things he has to help take over. Jiangnan will also be a place that needs a big layout in the future, not much inferior to the capital.
Seeing that Feng Ziying lost interest, Xiangling obediently put the post away, then folded it and straightened it.
Feng Ziying's heart moved when she saw Xiang Ling's sweet and sweet look, "Xiang Ling, didn't you say you can't remember the situation at home? I also went to Suzhou this time and asked around at Suzhou Mansion, and it turned out that this was the case. The family is somewhat similar to yours."
It all happened more than ten years ago. To be honest, Feng Ziying mentioned it before leaving Beijing, but Xiangling didn't take it to heart. After so many years, especially the interrogation in Jinling Mansion, she also faced After understanding the situation in the yamen, I gave up hope.
From her point of view, she can no longer remember what her parents look like, she doesn’t know where she lives, and she has no memory of her past. Who else can take such care for you?
Only when the kidnapper was arrested, he vaguely heard that he should be from Suzhou, but how big is Suzhou Prefecture?
Kidnapping is rampant these days. Every year in a county, there are dozens of children abducted by kidnappers or sold by unscrupulous relatives for financial gain. In the entire Suzhou Prefecture, there are probably hundreds of children reported missing every year. Over the past ten years, Who can still remember what happened back then?
And it is such a tedious task to check the torture chamber files of a county. Even if Feng Ziying comes from the capital, you can't supervise others to look through the old files from ten or twenty years ago for you. You can only ask someone to do it. Favors and money were given at the same time.
It was not until Feng Ziying left Suzhou that she received the news. It seemed that there was indeed a similar situation in Wu County.
The reason why I say they are similar is that the family is no longer in the county. It is said that after the daughter was lost, the father went crazy looking for her everywhere. He also became seriously ill and the house was burned down, so he took his wife and concubines back to his wife Feng's natal home, and his wife My natal family is from Huzhou, Zhejiang, so I don’t know the specific situation.
Of course, the most critical point is that it is clearly recorded in the file that the abducted family members reported that their daughter had a rouge mole between her eyebrows, and that she was of the right age when she was abducted.
When Feng Ziying told the whole situation, Xiang Ling could hardly stand, "Sir, are you telling the truth?"
“Silly girl, can I still lie to you about this kind of thing? I went to Suzhou, how can I not take your affairs to heart?”
Feng Ziying saw that Xiang Ling's eyes suddenly turned red and her body was trembling. She quickly supported her and took her into his arms.
"It's just that Wu County said that your parents had no place to live because their house was damaged by a fire in the temple next door, so they sold their property and went to your mother's family, but your mother is from Huzhou Prefecture in Zhejiang Province. They don’t know, so when I come back, I have to ask someone to check with Zhejiang, but with your parents’ names, it’s not difficult.”
Xianglingxiang's shoulders twitched, but drops of hot tears seeped into Feng Ziying's chest and clothes. She struggled to get up and knelt down to Feng Ziying, but Feng Ziying picked her up and said, "Master, please let me kneel down for you. If I can find my father, Mom, Xiangling is willing to work for you all her life,..."
"Silly girl, you belong to me. If I don't make the decision for you, who will? Don't worry, I will take matters like this to my heart and handle them for you. The ground is so cold here that I have to kneel down to thank you. You have to wait until you go to bed at night, then I will take good care of you..."
