After two cups of tea, Yinzhen said coldly, "Why, now I know I'm afraid? Why don't you know how to be afraid when I'm sharing money and food privately?"

Hearing Yinzhen's words, Zhu Yanzhi, who had been completely desperate and limp all over, immediately felt as if he had a heart attack. He leaned down on the ground and kowtowed seven or eight times in a row, and his forehead immediately broke his skin. He choked and said, "The lower official went from the magistrate to the magistrate step by step, and he had never experienced setbacks. This lesson will be remembered for life." [The latest updates are all in search.]

"Did you know the sentence "The previous order Guo Xiu is dead, and now another person is Guo Xiu?" Yinzhen asked slowly.

This sentence is what Guo Xiu, who was known as the "Iron-faced Censor" in the dynasty, said after repenting of bribery. How could Zhu Yanzhi not remember? Who is Guo Xiu? He is a first-rank official and has become famous all over the world. Zhu Yanzhi did not expect that Yinzhen would use him to inspire himself. But in an instant, he realized that the promotion of a first-rank minister has always been a dictatorship in the holy heart. The Fourteenth Master is, has the heart to compete for the crown?

If there really is one day, this is a good story about the relationship between kings and ministers, and it is not out of reach for the first rank of official positions! He suddenly felt his blood boiling all over his body, regardless of the pain in his forehead, and he knocked three times in a row, then stood up and said loudly: "The Fourteenth Master values ​​his subordinates so much. He is willing to hold the emperor to death and be afraid of death. Why are you greedy for money? Please wait and see, and there will be another Guo Xiu in our court."

Yinzhen didn't expect that Zhu Yanzhi would have such a big reaction in his words. He chuckled and said, "Okay, the prodigal son will not change his money, but this punishment is inevitable. Let's dismiss his post and stay."

As long as the official is still there, everything else is a cloud. Zhu Yanzhi forced himself to suppress his inner joy and said in a deep voice, "The official will definitely not let down the expectations of the Fourteenth Master."

"Since you have this determination, you must take action." Yinzhen said slowly: "As an official, you will benefit the people. You don't want a clean official. What you want is a clean official who can benefit the people. In the future, pay more attention to people's livelihood and care about civil affairs. The people are rich and the country is strong. Go back and think about it slowly."

After Zhu Yanzhi left, Yinzhen wrote a secret note to Kangxi, pointing out the role of missionaries and Westerners in building ocean-going fleets, and requesting permission to stay in Shanghai for missionaries and Westerners. In addition, he wrote a letter to his eighth brother Yinsi, explaining Zhu Yanzhi's situation, asking him to help him say hello to the Ministry of Personnel, and then took out a post of his own name, put Zhu Yanzhi's name on it, and then condemned a personal guard to send it to the Governor's Office of Jiangning. Gali was a member of the Eighth Master's Party, so he dared not to sell this face.

Just after finishing his work, Haifeng came in and reported that Zheng Qingyuan was looking for a meeting outside.

Zheng Qingyuan was sent by Yinzhen to rush to buy land. After coming in, he reported, "Reported to the Fourteenth Master, the servant, who arrived in Shanghai half a month ago, bought 200 acres of land along the Huangpu River northeast outside the county town, and 30 acres of land in the county town and other directions. Because the purchase was urgent, the price was a bit high, and it cost a total of 6,000 taels of silver."

Two hundred acres, 130,000 square meters? Yinzhen smiled and said, "No, don't buy it now, wait until I set our goal."

Before Zheng Qingyuan left, five missionaries came.

Yinzhen had a brief conversation with the five people and learned that these five people were all going to Beijing to teach at the invitation of Min Ming. When they met Min Ming’s messenger on the way, they turned to Shanghai.

After thinking for a while, Yinzhen smiled and said, "Sorry, the situation has changed now. Shanghai will soon become the second port in the Qing Dynasty that allows foreign missionaries to stay, just like Guangzhou. And the largest shipyard in the East will be built here soon. I need more foreign friends to come here, merchants, sailors, mechanics, various craftsmen, etc. I, Yinzhen, the 14th prince of the Qing Empire, will welcome them the warmest welcome to their arrival. I hope they can witness the rise of Shanghai with us. Believe me, in ten years, Shanghai will become the largest trading port in the East. I now need you to go to Guangzhou and Macau to spread this news and recruit more people for me. This will become your paradise."

The five missionaries were stunned for a long time before Peter, the leader exclaimed: "God, I heard it right?"

"I promise, I'm absolutely right." Yinzhen smiled and said, "I will pay the corresponding reward for your hard work. Let's do this. Within a year, all the craftsmen and sailors, one or two silver dollars, will I pay you twenty taels of silver each first, and I will send someone to accompany you."

After saying that, before a few missionaries could speak, he turned to Zheng Yuanqing and ordered: "Leave the matter at hand to Haifeng, go to the Shanghai branch to hold a ticket of 3,000 taels, bring your master's famous post, pick up twenty more people, and go with them to Guangzhou and Macau. Do you know what to do?"

"I understand." Zheng Qingyuan excitedly pricked Qian'er. He was at his age when he liked to run around, not to mention that he had heard of the prosperity of Guangzhou for a long time.

After sending away a few missionaries, Yinzhen called Haifeng again, "If you ask them to write a resume by themselves, you must indicate their own expertise, hobbies, and recommendations. I will want them tomorrow."

The next morning, the sky was getting dark, and Shanghai magistrate Xu Shizhen brought more than 20 yamen runners outside Liuchun Garden. The morning court in the capital was early, and all the ministers had developed the habit of getting up early. Who knew whether the 14th Master also had the habit of getting up early? He didn't want to leave a lazy impression in Yinzhen's heart, so he had to come to the marquis early.

Unexpectedly, this marquis lasted for an hour. It was not until Chen Shiwu (after 8 o'clock) that he saw Yinzhen coming out under the escorts of the guards. Seeing Hou standing outside the door, Yinzhen smiled and said, "There is no need to be so early in the future. I am used to opening the door to do business at Chen Shiji. You have not had breakfast yet, so I asked them to prepare a serving for you and eat it on the way."

Xu Shizhen didn't expect Yinzhen to be so kind to his subordinates, and he was secretly happy. It seemed that life would not be too difficult for him to bear. He hurriedly bowed and said, "The subordinates thanked the Fourteenth Master on behalf of their subordinates."

Yinzhen waved his hand and said, "I forgot to remind you yesterday that you still need people who are familiar with the water level of the Huangpu River, which is the top priority."

"The minister will condemn others to invite you now." Xu Shizhen replied respectfully.

It was called the location of the survey and construction factory. In fact, Yinzhen had long been confident, but he had to pretend to behave and run around. After one day, everyone was exhausted. After running like this for four days, Yinzhen initially set the location. Then he checked the information and listened to the reports of several senior water workers. After confirming that the water level of the Huangpu River channel was about 30 feet (10 meters), he finally set the location, which was more than ten kilometers away from the county town in northeastern Shanghai.

Seeing that there were no residential houses in the place that Yinzhen finally decided, Xu Shizhen breathed a sigh of relief. After asking for Yinzhen's advice, he immediately led people to enclose land, enclosing a total of 2,000 acres of land.

After Yinzhen decided on the place, he only left a sentence, "The ground will break down here after the New Year." He ignored the fall. Land acquisition and demolition were not his business. I believe Kangxi had already issued a secret order to these local officials.
