Although Hu Yingjia did not understand the reason why the smuggling of large Southeast households caused insufficient supply, after a few months, he keenly discovered that the shops that should have been prosperous in Zhenhai County were not enough to satisfy the appetite of maritime merchants.

Many merchants prepare the goods for going to sea to sell goods, but they often take action in Hangzhou Prefecture or even Jiaxing, Suzhou, which also leads to a considerable number of marine merchants having to look for sources of goods westward along the waterway.

But in this era, the channels for buying and selling goods are relatively fixed, and it is difficult for newcomers to interfere. Even if you raise the price, you may not be able to buy things, and you will be rejected by your peers.

After careful consideration, Hu Yingjia found that the key to Qian Yuan's suggestion lies in the North and South Canals.

Although the waterways in the southeast are crisscrossing, a large amount of goods passes through the north and south canals along Suzhou, Jiaxing arrives at Hangzhou Prefecture, then goes east through Shaoxing Prefecture and then into Zhenhai.

The problem is here. Ningbo Prefecture has Yongjiang, Yinjiang, Cixi, Shangyu County of Shaoxing Prefecture, and Yuyao County has Yaojiang directly connecting to Cixi, but Hangzhou Prefecture enters Shaoxing Prefecture with a canal, Xixing Canal.

This canal is not big. Although Shaoxing Prefecture is repaired every year, its transportation capacity is limited. A large number of cargo ships sailing on the north and south canals are unwilling to transfer to the Xixing Canal. In addition, Hangzhou Prefecture is prosperous and Zhenhai is not weak, and customers gather, so the cargo can be taken in Hangzhou Prefecture, so there is no need to transfer to Zhenhai again.

Of course, what Hu Yingjia didn't know was that there were great contributions from the Dong family and the Southeastern big family that joined forces with the Dong family.

Hu Yingjia just hopes to achieve the goal of increasing taxes and silver to go abroad by setting up a sea city in Hangzhou Prefecture, while Qian Yuan hopes that Hangzhou Prefecture can become a goods distribution center.

"Speaking of this, Hangzhou Prefecture is the most suitable person to go to sea." Hu Yingjia murmured for a few words.

Many people can see this. Hangzhou Prefecture is the starting point of the south of the north and south canals, and is also bordered by the coastal border. It is also located in Hangzhou Bay, Songjiang Prefecture and Ningbo Prefecture. If there is a real naval guard on both sides of the country, it is really the most suitable place. Unfortunately, Hangzhou Prefecture is an important town in the southeast. If something happens, Qian Yuan cannot bear the responsibility...

In the middle of the night, Hu Yingjia fell asleep, and was still wondering whether that guy Qian Yuan was trapping himself again... There was no way, he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the rope.

On the second day, Hu Yingjia bid farewell. Before leaving, Hou Ruliang called the magistrate of Hangzhou and the magistrate of Qiantang County to openly explain the establishment of the Haishi.

"Brother Zimin has not arrived in Zhenhai and has not met yet." Hu Yingjia had known about the incident more than a month ago from his uncle and whispered: "I hope the Chief Secretary will give me some advice and do not ruin major events and make the teacher stand in a dilemma."

Hou Ruliang smiled bitterly and nodded casually. He knew Wang Bengu's temperament very well... He hated Qian Yuan so much that he hated him so much that he was itchy, but he was just temporarily dormant.

The refusal to go to Zhenhai was nothing more than Wang Bengu felt that he was finally forced to retreat by seizing power, and Hu Yingjia calmly took office to take charge of Zhenhai affairs... Xu Jie also had to fight for power and profit within the party.

"The people have gone to Taizhou." Hou Ruliang said a little and turned around and left.

Mr. Zhang, who was behind, came forward, "More than a month ago, Japanese pirates attacked the coast near Huangyan County, Taizhou, killed fishermen. Wang Yushi was worried about the situation of the war and rushed to check it out."

"More than a month ago?" Hu Yingjia's pupils shrank slightly, which means that after Wang Bengu left Zhenhai, he quickly went to Taizhou.

Hu Yingjia also understood Wang Bengu's personality. He was a narrow-minded person. He was so humiliated that he had to take revenge... In addition, the Taizhou prefect was Fang Fengshi, which made Hu Yingjia think a lot.

Outsiders don’t know, but Hu Yingjia is Xu Jie’s confidant and knows Fang Fengshi’s background very well. He was a Jinshi in the 20th year of Jiajing. He served as the head of the Ministry of Revenue and a doctor in the Ministry of Works. He was released twice and was always in the position of magistrate and prefect. Until Yan Song died of illness in the 38th year of Jiajing, he finally joined Xu Jie’s disciple.

Hu Yingjia sighed. He calculated that Wang Bengu had been in Taizhou for more than a month, and he didn't know what he wanted to do... After all, Ning Shaotai's three prefectures, in general, Taizhou is the prefecture with Qian Yuan's deepest foundation. After all, he has been stationed for a long time, and after all, there are two prefects of Tan Lun and Song Yiwang.

.Leaving Hangzhou, Hu Yingjia did not return to Zhenhai directly, but settled in Xiaoshan County, Shaoxing Prefecture, because Zhejiang General Dong Yikui is now stationed in Xiaoshan County.

Choosing Xiaoshan County was Dong Yikui's deliberate choice. Although he, like Hu Yingjia, did not understand the principle that limited goods led to sharp reduction in taxes and silver, he was very clear about the importance of blocking the Xixing Canal.

Dong Yikui's command has a very good control over this canal. A large number of merchants choose to sell goods in Hangzhou because they do not want to pass this level, because this is the only waterway level in Zhejiang Province that sets up check-in cashiers.

The impact of the Ming Dynasty's garrison system on the military construction of this country involved too many aspects, but one thing was difficult to reach in previous dynasties. After the rapid corruption of the garrison system, a large number of generals with poor reputation but strength were cultivated in less than a hundred years.

If the Ming Dynasty had not had the status of civil officials and military generals too low, and the capital was too close to the northwest, it would have been possible to change the dynasty.

There are similar examples in other dynasties, such as the Western Army during the Northern Song Dynasty, where the Yang family died completely, but the Zhe family and the Zhong family were still the leader of the Western Army until the two emperors were captured. Similarly, the Wu family, Liu family, and four generals in the early Southern Song Dynasty. All three except Yue Fei were born into the Western Army generals.

But the Zhe family and the Zhong family were not raised by the Northern Song Dynasty. As early as the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and the Ten Kingdoms were numerous, they had already occupied the northwest, which was a famous hard bone.

The Dong family was one of the generals in the northwest. At first, Dong Yikui didn’t want to go south. He was already the deputy general in the northwest. Why did he go to the southeast?

But now, Dong Yikui no longer wants to go back to the northwest. Although he was from a garrison, there are some ways to change his family and even get rid of his family. The most direct and effective way is to take the imperial examination.

Zhang Juzheng, Hu Zongxian, Zhu Dashou, these familiar names are all from military origins, or even from Jinyiwei. However, after passing the imperial examination, they immediately changed their ranks and became scholarly families.

Therefore, in addition to striving for money, the most important thing Dong Yikui did was to ask his husband to stay in the northwest at the age of 20, and the oldest of the remaining four sons was only fifteen years old, so it was still time.

"Mr. Dong is too impatient." A goatee-bearded middle-aged man smiled: "Even a child from Liangzhe studied hard since childhood, had no worries about food and clothing, and was not distracted. There were very few scholars who could win before the age of twenty."

Dong Yikui couldn't help but think of Suiyuan, which gave him a headache, and muttered: "Qian Zhancai, Zhu Duanfu, Xu Wenchang and others..."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and complained in his heart, "You really can't find anyone to compare with you." Most of the young heroes in the Suiyuan are Southeast. Even Xu Wei, the oldest, was a prodigy back then. Only those little bastards in your family want to compete with them?"

Dong Yikui coughed twice, "Sir, if you take the exam in the northwest..."

The middle-aged man calculated, "In another two years, the second young master can come to a try."

Dong Yikui nodded, "Add to pay more than ten taels of silver every month, please do your best."

"Thank you, I will live up to my entrusted..."

Before he finished speaking, his colleagues from the outside coughed and Dong Yikui sent the middle-aged man away, "What's the matter?"

"Master, Ningbo Prefecture worships the door."
