Chapter 37 The Manchu-Han dispute?
My daughter learned from the side that Zhang Bo is honest and upright, loyal to his duties, hardworking and frugal, and is known as the most honest official in Jiangnan. The emperor also commended and promoted him many times. In the 45th year, he was promoted by the Jiangsu Censor to the governor of Fujian. The emperor personally promoted him to the governor of Jiangsu. What was the intention of the emperor to let him govern Jiangsu?
Lord Ga took action this time and the attack was too wide. He offended all the Han officials in Liangjiang in one fell swoop. This move was like provoking a dispute between Manchu and Han. During this time, my daughter lived in the Governor's Office in Liangjiang. She secretly noticed that most of the exchanges were Manchu officials, and there were very few Han officials. The people in the city, whenever they talked about Lord Ga, they gritted their teeth and hated them. [The latest updates are all in search.]
If Lord Ga is an honest and upright official, his daughter doesn't have to worry about it, but he is greedy and domineering. He will have a dispute with Zhang Boxing, which is the so-called dispute between governors. This is different from the ordinary dispute between governors. It is like the dispute between Manchu and Han in Jiangnan. My daughter thought that the final loser must be Lord Ga.
Dad should prepare early and try to separate himself from Lord Ga as much as possible. Everything must be clean. One is to prevent the disaster of fish in the pond, and the other is to beware of someone finding a handle to attack Lord Ga from you."
When Zhang Yuanlong heard his daughter's intimate analysis, he felt cold. His daughter had shown amazing judgment skills since she was a child. Over the years, when she rarely got confused when she looked at people and things, she sent her to the Governor's clan brother, one for her to have a long experience, and the other for her to help find out the news. Of course, the main reason was to see if Zhang Mengjiao could climb to the top. Although his Zhang family's daughter did not have to worry about marriage, Zhang Mengjiao had been struggling for many years, and this year it was already twenty-one. Her marriage had become Zhang Yuanlong's biggest heart disease, and she didn't care at all.
Zhang Yuanlong didn't expect that Zhang Mengjiao would bring such bad news from Jiangning, and immediately frowned and thought. At that time, he used naval warships to smuggle rice. It was not only large in scale, but also long in time, and there were many people who handled it. How could this be cleaned up one by one? If someone deliberately investigated it, it would not be hidden in any case. Thinking of this, he felt very bored. He thought he had found a backer, but he didn't know that it was an iceberg, or the kind that was about to sink.
Seeing Zhang Yuanlong at a loss, Zhang Mengjiao said softly: "My daughter knows some of the situation when selling rice privately. If she wants to completely cover it up, it will not only be difficult, but also make things happen. It is extremely difficult for Lord Ga to notice. But we cannot wait for it. We must find a way to be both good. My daughter has been thinking hard along the way, but she has not been able to make sense. When she entered the county town, she found a way out."
"Oh, what's the way out?" Zhang Yuanlong was like a drowning man suddenly saw a wooden board, his eyes immediately shining, "Tell me quickly."
Zhang Mengjiao chuckled and said, "Dad has entered a dead end. It is difficult to solve this problem with our own abilities. Why don't we use external forces to change our backers and everything will be solved?"
"The Governor General of Liangjiang is not reliable, who else can you rely on?" Speaking of this, Zhang Yuanlong looked at Zhang Mengjiao suspiciously, "Are you talking about the 14th prince?" He then shook his head, "No, that's a man who eats people and doesn't spit bones. If you look for him, our Zhang family is afraid that there will be no scum left."
"Why is Daddy so bad about him?" Zhang Mengjiao asked in confusion.
"You know the 'Four Great Hengs'." Zhang Yuanlong said angrily, "The 'Four Great Hengs' was originally a capital of more than 2 million yuan. Yinzhen only invested 200,000 taels and swallowed the 'Four Great Hengs' even bones and flesh. Although the 'Four Great Hengs' now dominates the entire Qing Dynasty's bill business and is invincible, his original owner now only accounts for 10% of the shares.
Besides, Yinzhen is now in Shanghai to build an ocean-going fleet. You have seen that kind of giant ship with a stylus, but do you know how much silver it costs for a stylus? More than one million, a fleet will have to at least ten giant ships, and at least fifty or sixty smaller large warships. How much silver does it cost? I heard that all this cost was paid by Yinzhen’s private money. Where did he get so much silver? It’s not like knocking from us and finding him, it would be like sending a sheep into the mouth of a tiger.”
After Zhang Yuanlong finished speaking angrily, Zhang Mengjiao chuckled with a "pop" and said, "Dad, you only know one thing but not the other."
"Oh?" Zhang Yuanlong looked at his daughter in confusion, "Is the news I heard is untrue?"
"Not necessarily." Zhang Mengjiao suppressed her smile and said, "Jiangning has been talking about the most recently. Because he is in Shanghai, his daughter pays special attention to the topics about him. The annexation of the "Four Great Hengs" is also what people talk about the most. Dad said it was right, but Dad got it wrong later. Zheng Shichang, the former owner of the "Four Great Hengs" now only owns 10% of the shares, but do you know how much this shares are worth?
Five million! And the emperor also rewarded him with a sixth-rank top dress and carried his long house into a banner. Now, Zheng Shichang has been called a legendary businessman. Jiangning has already made a storyteller make up this matter into a joke and rap around.
In addition, Jiangning is now preparing to build an agricultural college, which is an official school that specializes in farming and farming. It was also the idea of this Fourteenth Master. I heard that he also set up a righteous school in the capital, specifically asking missionaries to teach Western knowledge. How could such a person go away when he was spread to Shanghai?”
Zhang Yuanlong felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he still said, "Even if that's the case, it's true that he built the Ocean Fleet. Where did he get so much money?"
Zhang Mengjiao frowned slightly, "I don't know this, but judging from the style and means of the Fourteenth Master doing things, he shouldn't be so greedy and cruel."
"Hmph, since the court promulgated the "Detailed Rules and Regulations for the Regulation of Piao Numbers", the entire Jiangnan piao number industry has been cleaned up, and the only one of the "Four Great Hengs" is left. I wonder how many piao number silver numbers have lost all their money and their families have been destroyed. Is this considered greed and cruel?"
"There are three kilograms of nails in the rotten ship. Which bank account or bankruptcy does not make a fortune or go bankrupt? Besides, what's wrong with the 'Four Great Heng's' family being the only one who is the only one? At least don't bring cash in with you when you go out. Moreover, the market account is now more standardized and safe. Don't worry about being robbed and lost or forged, or you don't have to consider the quality of the bank. What's even more rare is that the whole country is exchanged, and how many merchants applaud." Zhang Mengjiao said angrily, "Dad, my daughter is bumpy all the way and I'm a little tired. Let's go down and rest first."
Zhang Yuanlong looked at Zhang Mengjiao's leaving back with a erotic look, "Where did I offend this precious daughter again?"
