Wang Yu's words that were not slanderous at that pier finally reached Qian Wubing's ears. And it didn't take long, but Qian Wubing just smiled and didn't take it to heart.
There is nothing wrong with people coming from Beijing with a bit of arrogance and perhaps some background to show off in this barbaric land. Besides, Aiwujiwu, since he is Liu Qingqing’s friend and someone who has served the imperial court in the border areas,
Just saying a few words casually, could he Qian Wubing be so angry that he escalated the matter to the point where the other party came to slap him in the face?
Qian Wubing has been very busy these days. Ever since he told Olivia what he was thinking about and set up the Ming Dynasty Overseas Jinyi Guards Thousand Households in Tamsui, he has been busy with this matter. A thousand households has never been
To be honest, it is not a simple matter. Personnel, equipment, food and salary, none of them require him to do it personally, especially he has to ensure that after he leaves here, the Qianhu Institute can still operate well.
There were some joints that he couldn't just take Olivia to show off in front of some subordinates.
However, after the visitor from Beijing reminisced about old times with Liu Qingqing, he really wanted to meet him. The sky is high, the emperor is far away, and no one cares about him. While this has the advantage, the disadvantage is that the news is extremely limited. Last time he
When he heard the news in Beijing, it was almost two months ago. At that time, he received a letter from Wu Junhou from the fleet, and a lot of meticulous letterheads from the little girl Zhu Yunniang. Originally,
I thought that this time Jiangnan's fleet brought goods to Tamsui and would also bring news from there. Unexpectedly, someone actually came in advance.
He didn't know that someone came to Tamsui to visit friends by the way, and the main purpose was to see him.
Therefore, his wish was realized in almost no time.
After dinner, Liu Qingqing felt that Qian Wubing should be fine and have the most leisurely time. In the summer of Tamsui, there was more than an hour from dinner to dark, so at Wang Yu's request,
, Liu Qingqing took Wang Yu into the Xuanwei Envoy Si Yamen.
"An old friend is visiting, no need to be polite, no need to be polite!" Qian Wubing smiled slightly and looked at Wang Yu who walked into the yard and was about to see him: "I remember we met once, in Qijia Village, isn't it like this?
, Wang Qianhu!”
"Master Qian has a good memory!" Wang Yu chuckled, and the fat on his cheeks trembled. In terms of popularity, Wang Yu still has a few people who have seen him, whether in the border town or in the capital.
It's not easy to forget him. His fat body is so impressive.
"Sit, sit!" Qian Wubing pointed to the seemingly crude tables and chairs in the yard, "I don't have so many rules here. Just be more comfortable and just treat it like we are in Qijia Village!"
"I also received a document from Datong last month. Qi Qianhu has been very popular recently. Several gangs of gangsters who were originally entrenched around Qijiazhai were wiped out by his troops, and Qijiazhai,
He also built it like a copper wall and an iron wall. I heard that the Tatars also encountered nails with him!" Wang Yu obviously knows how to close the distance between people. In a few words, both of them knew each other.
The two started chatting with each other, and soon the atmosphere of the conversation between the two became harmonious.
During the conversation, Liu Qingqing stood up and said that she was going to the city for an inspection. After the storm, the people in the inspection department had to work hard to maintain order in the city. Qian Wubing nodded and smiled as he walked out.
As soon as Liu Qingqing left, the playful and relaxed look on Wang Yu's face suddenly turned serious. At this time, Qian Wubing was asking him about new things in Beijing. Liu Qingqing didn't tell him, and he didn't know Wang Yu yet.
Yu's family still has an uncle, but this is better. Maybe he knows more information that ordinary people and officials don't know.
"When the little princess was born, the whole world was celebrating. His Majesty granted the world a pardon, and the Queen Mother's grace came to the palace, which exempted many places from paying taxes for several months. Now, anyone in the world who doesn't appreciate the little princess is the little princess.
It is the blessing of Ming Dynasty!"
"Oh, has the name been decided yet?" Qian Wubing listened with interest.
"Not yet. This kind of thing can't be rushed!" Wang Yu rolled his eyes. Sure enough, Qian Wubing came from a humble background. He didn't even know the rule of not being canonized if the royal bloodline is less than one year old. You know, even the best
Take care of it. The chance of this child dying in infancy is not low. Even if he is delayed until he is four or five years old, it is not a rare thing in the Tian family.
"However, my lord's Sihai Fleet is very popular in Beijing now. I remember that when I was in Nanjing, in order to raise funds, my lord once issued shipping tickets. Now, the tickets for the Sihai Fleet, even if it is
A piece of five thousand taels of silver has a price but no market. For many families, as long as they can buy this ship ticket, their family's life will be very tight, and they can hardly count the coins!"
"Ah, is there such a thing?" Qian Wubing was really surprised. He was not surprised about the boat tickets, but that the banknotes that were originally issued for two hundred taels had now soared to five thousand taels and could not be bought.
This fact made him wonder if he had heard wrongly.
"No, everyone thought that Sihailou would continue to issue invoices. Who knows, after issuing the tickets this time, there was no movement in Sihailou. Speaking of this, Mr. Qian, a bunch of old and young men in Beijing, do not care about Mr. Qian.
I'm a little resentful. When Mr. Qian issued the ferry tickets, he was in Nanjing. Mr. Qian was from Beizhili. He didn't have to bend his elbows like this. He made it easier for those lonely ghosts in Nanjing. We have experienced and worked hard.
The young and old men who look after this country for His Majesty have not gained much benefit!"
Qian Wubing smiled, of course he would not want Wang Yu to explain.
"The first boat ticket dividend seems to be only a few hundred taels per ticket. There are many rich and powerful people in Beijing, how can they value this small amount of money!"
"Hundreds of taels, that's not much. Oh, my lord Qian, when you issued the ticket, it was only two hundred taels. It's been a lot of trouble. Although I don't know about this sea trade business.
How to do it, but in the blink of an eye, as long as you buy the boat ticket, you will get several times the money for free. This kind of good thing, Mr. Qian, can you find another one for me to see?" As he said this, Wang Yu's
That young man's spirit came out again, and he wasn't even so particular about his words.
"This is still distributed to those merchants. You know, the bulk of it was taken away by Sihailou and the Internal Affairs Bureau! According to this situation, this fleet will probably earn millions for the palace in less than a year.
,Such a big deal, you have to have someone to help you. There are some things that Sihailou is not convenient to come forward for, or there are some trivial things that Sihailou doesn’t bother to come forward for, but it still needs someone to do it. The old and young men with titles in the capital are the ones who do it.
Come to think of it, this is our Majesty’s property, and the benefits cannot go to those merchants. What can they do better than us?”
