"In other words, as long as Governor Zhao signs his name on this agreement, I will immediately send Boss An the imperial government's injunction, not allowing him to sell guns and cannons to Zhuang Yuncheng again." If An Lesi opposes this injunction, in theory, he can appeal to the Tixing Yamen and demand that the ban not be enforced; and whether the Tixing Yamen finally recognizes the ban and how long it will take to handle the dispute, it is not certain. However, Zhang Tao did not explain on the spot that he planned to send a set of Sichuan Interim Code to the Zhejiang Governor in a few days, so that Zhao Guozuo can see it himself.

"Whether it is Zhuang Yuncheng or others, as long as they fight with the Governor, they will be within the scope of the ban until they accept the recruitment." Zhang Tao carefully considered the words and continued to explain: "The order of the Duke of Baoguo should not flow into the hands of the people who 'attacked' Governor Zhao. Therefore, if Zhuang Yuncheng accepts the recruitment, or transfers to the defense, and no longer continues to attack Governor Zhao's army for more than three months, then we will think that he bought arms for the purpose of peace, and he will no longer be within the scope of the ban."

Zhao Guozuo and Songkui looked at each other and knew that Deng Ming had left a back door. If Hangzhou had the upper hand, he might still continue to sell arms to Zhuang Yuncheng so that he could continue to fight. Songkui glared at his eyes and wanted to argue, but Zhao Guozuo smiled bitterly and shook his head to signal him not to argue.

Hangzhou is eager to get a truce now, not Huzhou. If Zhao Guozuo can regain the upper hand in three months and threaten the survival of the Jingnan Army, it means that the situation is hundreds of times better than now.

"If I want to recruit Jingnan Army," Zhao Guozuo made the last confirmation.

"We will talk about the matter on our behalf, and during the recruitment negotiations, we will stop selling arms to Zhuang Yuncheng to strengthen his belief in accepting recruitment." Zhang Tao promised loudly that when Zhao Guozuo still looked suspicious, he further explained: "Duke Baoguo ordered me to be friends with Zhejiang people. Governor Zhao can rest assured that I hope that Zhejiang will be calm and will do my best to promote peace in Zhejiang. After all, only a peaceful Zhejiang can make the forbidden sea area prosperous."

Zhao Guozuo smiled bitterly again, but he no longer hesitated and picked up his pen to sign his name on the Hangzhou Treaty. The treaty was in duplicate, and Chengdu and Hangzhou each retained one.

After putting the agreement over, Zhang Tao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Governor Zhao, I will send someone to Huzhou now to persuade Zhuang Yuncheng and others to discuss the terms of the recruitment."

"Thank you, your Excellency." Zhao Guozuo hugged the imperial officials: "There is another thing, which is the canal transportation this year."

Although Zhejiang has become a pot of porridge, Beijing has not exempted Hangzhou from the canal transportation this year. If the two owners of the landlords were to rebel, Beijing knew that it would definitely become a laughing stock in the world. As long as Zhuang Yuncheng was willing to accept the recruitment and Zhang Huangyan would not attack Hangzhou, Zhao Guozuo could still squeeze out the canal transportation materials. However, Huzhou and Jiaxing were both Jingnan Army, and Zhao Guozuo could not transport the silver and grain to Yangzhou at all: "Can you ask me to help me and let my subordinates take the banner of the Ming army so that the grain can pass through Huzhou smoothly?"

"It's not the Ming army, but the Sichuan Industrial Bank undertakes the Zhejiang canal transport. We are very familiar with the Zheng family in Zhoushan, and we can rent their ships to Tianjin by sea." Yu Youming explained: "Even if we don't need to give us food. As long as Governor Zhao pays us silver or Sichuan Yuan, we can even buy the canal rice on behalf of us, ensuring that it is full of weight and it is still new rice. At least half of the canal transport sent to Beijing every year is old grain, right? This will never happen to us, and we will ensure that Governor Zhao will have excellent performance in the future."

Zhao Guozuo was stunned for a moment: "What do you want me to do?"

"It's enough to pay 20% of the float. In addition, the matter of Zhejiang canal entering the canal will be left to our bank for handling."

"Aren't you going to Tianjin by sea? Why do you want a canal to enter the canal?" Zhao Guozuo asked in confusion. When he saw Yu Youming smiling but didn't say anything, he suddenly realized: "You have to go to the business with full load of goods!"

"Governor Zhao sees it clearly."

"After entering the canal, you will be charged money constantly. From the canal governor's office to the government offices in various places, you will have to cut a knife! This is how hundreds of thousands of taels of silver floats come. " Zhao Guozuo shouted: "There are also canal workers. Every time the subordinates of my official come back, they report that there are bad people blocking the river and pulling iron chains. If you don't pay the money, you will ask for a huge price for fiber pulling."

"It depends on my ability." Yu Youming said that he was willing to sign a new contract with the Zhejiang Governor's Office for this: "I will lose money. If I make money, the Governor's Office will divide it into 30% and make it into the accounting for the next year. If I make too much, maybe Governor Zhao will not have to pay the money and grain for the transportation of the grain next year. Don't worry, Governor Zhao, I am also from Zhejiang and will not cheat you."

"You are the Zhejiang East Army! If you don't cheat me, who will I cheat?" Zhao Guozuo retorted. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly looked up: "I want 40%! 30% will be deposited into the account for the next year. Once the account is established, I will pay it to my official, and I will send two account holders to accompany me."

"Yes." Yu Youming smiled and stretched out his hand to the governor of Zhejiang.

But Zhao Guozuo did not hold it immediately, but added another one: "For the first time this year, don't blame me for being careful. You can transport grain first. After Beijing receives the canal transportation, I will give you the silver and grain. And you can only collect 20% of the money, not 30% of the water. If this year goes well, 30% will be fine in the future."
