Chapter 446: What he and her saw

After passing by the building boat, the next journey was completely fine, and the world was peaceful. Logically speaking, the thief base on the water must not only be on the boat, but also on the big lakes and moors, and these scattered bandits could not hide in it.

Therefore, the hidden place of these bandits must be on the land on both sides of the river bank. The patrol of a building ship obviously will not clean up these hidden places on land. These bandits are often villagers or law-abiding people in the villages along the coast. Obviously, these people have also been removed.

This shows that the power of the Thirteen Chamber of Commerce in Jiangnan is obviously not only on the water, but also controlling the Cao Gang, but also having a similar situation to the Shandong Salt Association. Perhaps it is the heroes of the Jianghu on the Green Forest Road.

In ancient times, when communications and transportation were very underdeveloped, the dynastic governments with the central central government in the northern capital were actually quite difficult to control the south of the Yangtze River. In order to unify the world, the Ming Dynasty adopted the method to establish six Nanjing ministries and various yamen in Nanjing to manage several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.

However, the provinces in Jiangnan still have a vague tendency to be centrifugal, because this is the richest place in the world after all, and many of the taxes in the world come from Jiangnan. Even farmers' land taxes and corvee labor are far higher than those in other places. If they think better, they must resist taxes or evade taxes. In fact, they are already quite resistant to the capital in terms of economic activities.

Of course, organizations like the Thirteen Chamber of Commerce in Jiangnan are definitely not on the same line as the government in their nature and bones. When the country was founded in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang once made targeted attacks on the wealthy people in Jiangnan, but economic activities are often not controlled or controlled by individuals. The merchants in Jiangnan quickly recovered their vitality and developed to a larger scale.

In the current stage of commerce in the world, not only did the Huazhou in Jiangfeng, but also the wealth and power of the merchants in Jiangnan.

Jiangnan is actually just the northern part of Nanzhili and Zhejiang. To be precise, Nanjing is not in Jiangnan, so when the ship arrived in Yangzhou, it was considered to have entered Jiangnan.

The river port in Yangzhou is really lively, and there is even a so-called "traffic congestion". If a ship is parked at the pier, in addition to queuing, if it wants to park, it will have to pay a very high fee. If you are reluctant, there is a way to park you in a remote place. It is inconvenient to get on and off the boat at that time, that is your business.

The money from the salt merchants in Yangzhou is easy to get, and they like to compete in this situation more and more. The so-called legitimate berth in Yangzhou has already increased to ten taels of silver a day, and there is still a price but no market. If you are a rich man and don’t have a berth here, you will be embarrassed to meet people when you go out.

Although Jiang Feng's three ships were decorated in comfort, the hull was not decent during the fights along the way, and the people who came to lead the way were unwilling to pay attention to it. Fortunately, the money was the most effective. If you handed over some benefits, you would immediately turn into a smile.

After leading the berth, the escort in charge asked for instructions, he still paid a day's berth fee. After all, this place is too conspicuous, and if there is any problem, this place will be blocked first.

Looking at the traffic on the shore through the curtains in the wing room, Tang Xuan felt infinitely emotional. When a girl was fifteen years old, she was in the age of flower season. She knew what kind of sadness was there. Tang Xuan grew up in different environments, so she naturally matured much more than her peers.

I couldn't help but think secretly that if I hadn't met Jiang Feng, what would she look like now? Maybe she was tortured in the mansion where the salt transporter left bar guarded, or was sent by Lin Yutang as goods. The eagerness to be free and to see her family was cleared. Tang Xuan thought that her body-selling contract was in the other party's hands.

A weak woman, what is the effect of the other party's verbal promise? Even after the completion, it is easy for the other party to repent. She was sent to her like a cargo. Tang Xuan was very confident in her appearance. She knew that it was not an exaggeration to describe her as a national beauty. However, she was born in a family, and this was the biggest problem. No matter who she was, she looked down on her.

In normal times, the people Tang Xuan met looked very admiring for her on the surface, but she could still tell the secret contempt and disdain that she met. Jiang Huifeng was a little different. It can be seen that he also liked his beauty or had desires. It was just that he liked his natural love and did not treat it as a person in the romantic world, but just had pure love and desire.

Looking at the shore, Tang Xuan remembered the girls with him. When he met Jiang Feng, was he lucky or bad?

Jiang Feng was tidying up his clothes and equipment. The curtain of the wing where he was located was picked up by the boat boss, just looking at the prosperous scene of Yangzhou Lake Harbor. It was still early now, but it was so lively that it seemed like noon in many places.

And you can hear the sound of silk and bamboo coming over. The pleasure boat on Slender West Lake is originally a famous gold-selling cave in the world. At this time, someone was drinking and having fun.

This era is no longer the Ming Dynasty when Jiang Feng just came through. This kind of business prosperity and the lively atmosphere of pursuing pleasure is becoming more and more similar to the society where everyone is engaged in business when he did not travel through time, and is getting closer and closer to the current atmosphere.

But Jiang Feng saw not only these things, but also on the dock, he looked serious, wearing a blue robe, carrying short weapons or wooden sticks, patrolling back and forth there.

These people were obviously not soldiers, because the soldiers patrolling the city could be seen on the boat, and there were three or two people chatting in the corner with spears.

Those men wearing blue clothes dressed in very similar clothes to those on the boat. Obviously, they were all people from the Cao Gang or the Thirteenth Chamber of Commerce. They hadn't come to the Ming Dynasty for a long time. Has the power of the merchants reached this level?

He has actually participated in the maintenance of public security among the people, which shows how far the chambers of commerce have achieved.

Jiang Feng and his group got off the boat. The local Sanjiang Trading Company and the Yangzhou Branch of Huazhou Money House were waiting there for a long time. Naturally, Jiang Feng's guards got off the boat early and went to make arrangements. There were still carriages and horses here. The carriages were provided because there were female family members here, so they were provided for cover-up transportation.

Of course, Huazhou's money house will not say that it is Huazhou money house here, but it is just that it is Sanjiang Piaohao. It is different from the capital in Jiangnan. Many shops and piaohaos do not require approval from the government. As long as it is recognized by the Chamber of Commerce, the merchants have more or less knowledge of the Sanjiang Piaohao and know what kind of giant behind this piaohao, so they are at least polite on the surface.

The Datong Trading Company in the capital regards Sanjiang Trading Company as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh. She wishes to eradicate it quickly. However, in Yangzhou, Suhang and other places, the cooperative relationship between Datong Bank and Sanjiang Piaohao is quite close, because the silver of maritime merchants is often deposited on Sanjiang Piaohao, and then when they arrive in the mainland, they will transfer to Datong Bank or other places. Similarly, when they go to overseas transactions, the Sanjiang Piaohao bills are even more creditworthy.

The reason why Sanjiang Trading Company and Datong Money House in the capital are incompatible and hostile to each other, but they can live in peace in Jiangnan is because the wealth plate in the capital is much smaller after all, and if you eat it in the capital, there will be no food for me. However, there is enough money for everyone to spend it, and I can’t make it all after working hard to make money, so why bother fighting and killing?

The heads and managers here do not know Jiang Feng’s own identity, because this is also an important source of wealth for the chief clerk of Huazhou, Zhao Xiucai and the head of the inner government, Su Guanyue. The Sanjiang Trading Company and the Yangzhou Branch of Sanjiang Piaohao are all truly experienced shopkeepers and accountants.

Those Sima people hold some irrelevant positions, and they all rely on the relationship between a certain powerful and close customers to the outside world, so they can use money to support idle people.

These people know that Jiang Huifeng is the owner of Liao Town General Office and come to Yangzhou for a trip. This is also a common ecology for rich people. The so-called "being ten thousand yuan and riding a crane to Yangzhou" makes Yangzhou's enjoyment of the joys and colors can be regarded as the best in the world, and it is also normal for their own boss to come over to have fun.

These people are indeed well-known for advancing and retreating. They are obviously old experts in the mall. They did not look curious about Jiang Feng when they first met. They were just gentle and respectful. Tang Xuan got off the boat, and the crowd looked at him without looking at him. The old woman who had been waiting there had been helping him get on the car.

Jiang Feng also took the style of a big boss, greeted him with a reserved look, said a few words of encouragement, and went to the welcoming banquet set up for him. The woman was in a car and the man rode a horse. Jiang Feng was on the horse, surrounded by people around him and walked over there. After a while, a manager came over and said with a smile:

"It's hard for the boss to go all the way, and it's not too late to visit tomorrow. There is a letter from the Songjiang semicolon here, saying that it must be handed over to your hands."
