After a short nap, Qian Wubing felt refreshed. Of course, recovery from physical fatigue was one aspect, and the other aspect was the real reason why he felt refreshed.
He was still having a headache in the morning about how to arrange the arrangements for the group of elders who came with him. When he woke up, these elders had already arranged themselves, and it was quite to his liking. Anyone could do it.
Being in a good mood is not.
"Master Qian, our brothers have discussed it. The affairs of the fleet are very important to the court and the various governments. Since we are sent by the family to contribute to the fleet, it is our duty to do it. What everyone said before
, I grew up with Mr. Qian and gained experience, and by the way, I helped Mr. Qian. Later, when everyone put it together, Mr. Qian had so many talents, could it be that there are still a few of us missing? We would not be annoying in front of Mr. Qian. Mr. Qian gave
Let’s find a place in the house to stay, and if you have any orders, just give them. If there are no orders, we brothers can spend these three months practicing boxing and kicking if we have nothing to do!”
No way! Qian Wubing looked at them as if he didn't know these guys. Well, except for a few, he really didn't know them very well. However, these uncles are not easy to talk to. They can sleep alone.
As soon as I woke up, my attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees!
"How about I tell the elders of your family that it doesn't matter if you, the young masters, just stay in your own homes these days. I will never say that I invited the young masters back to the house. When the end of the year
, how about everyone sailing with the fleet again?" Qian Wubing asked tentatively.
"That can't be done!" "How can this be done!"
A group of young people objected one after another: "How could we miss such a good opportunity to learn more about Mr. Qian? What fun would it be to stay in the mansion!"
Qian Wubing smiled and dealt with them, but he pulled Wang Yu, who he was most familiar with, aside.
"Did you say something to them?" There was no smile on his face. This thing was very strange. These young ancestors were so easy to talk to, which was a bit shocking.
"I just told them what I saw in Tamsui. When I heard that Master Qian destroyed Fanren's fleet, these guys seemed to have eaten **** one by one!" Wang Yu blinked at him.
With a look of grievance in his small eyes: "The Tatars in the north have become much more honest in the past two years. They have been practicing swords, horses, bows and arrows in the house since they were young. Aren't they just holding back and serving the imperial court? There is no way to go to the north.
, but Lord Qian, you showed up, they thought that Lord Qian, you were doing the job of the eunuch of the Three Treasures, and they all wanted to show off for the Ming Dynasty!"
It turns out that this is the case. I hope to show off with the fleet in the future. It is also true that young people don't like to show off.
He drove Wang Yu away angrily, and Qian Wubing coughed lightly: "If that's the case, then I'm relieved. However, I, Qian, don't dare to give orders. If anything happens, let's discuss it."
Come on!"
"No!" The teenagers shouted again.
"Sir Qian, we have memorized these rules and regulations since we were young. We have been discussing this. What is it? With one army and a dozen people giving orders, who will the people below listen to? With such soldiers and horses,
How can we win the war!" The young man who had been talking quietly to Wang Yu before started talking: "In the fleet, we only recognize Mr. Qian as our commander, and your orders are orders. This is the status of superiors and subordinates.
, absolutely cannot discuss it!"
"That's right!" The teenagers echoed: "The old men handed us over to Lord Qian, then we will be Lord Qian's subordinates. Lord Qian must not be polite!"
Qian Wubing couldn't laugh or cry. These teenagers were comparing the fleet to an army. However, after thinking about it carefully, they seemed to be right.
"Since everyone said so, I won't stop talking nonsense!" Qian Wubing stretched out his hand to stop the noise below: "However, in my house, this is a bit inappropriate. Since everyone has recognized our Sihai Ship
Team, then follow me and go to Sihai Tower. During these days, everyone will stay in Sihai Tower and get familiar with our business!"
The teenagers cheered loudly! To them, there was not much difference between staying in the Qian Mansion and staying in the Sihai Building. What they wanted was for Qian Wubing to recognize their subordinate status. As long as Qian Wubing recognized it, they would be able to work in the fleet in the future.
, are they still worried about not speaking well?
The noisy day passed like this. In the morning, I went to Uncle Anding's house. In the afternoon, I brought a group of young uncles and young princes to Sihai Tower. Qian Wubing threw him directly to Rong Shusheng, and then took pictures.
After patting their butts and leaving, Rong Shusheng's old ways will naturally not neglect these young people. How to arrange them will save him a headache.
I just want to visit Zhang Yong, but I have to put it off until tomorrow. It will definitely not be possible at night. Not to mention the secret meeting between a commander of Jinyiwei and an admiral of the West Factory in the evening, and what kind of gossip will be stirred up. Don’t forget it.
, Zhang Yong is a eunuch. Although he also has a house in the outer city, he spends more time in the palace than outside the palace. If he goes there at night, he may not be able to find anyone.
During dinner in the evening, I mentioned what happened during the day to Wu Yanran and Sun Qian. When they heard that within three months, more than a dozen families had collected 5 million yuan to give Qian Wubing, the two women immediately became worried.
Calm down, Sun Qian was fine. Although five million taels was almost twice as much as he expected, it would not shock her. However, Wu Yanran was not so broad-minded. After dinner, she
Face worried asked Qian Wubing, what if the fleet business loses money! Although the Qian family is considered wealthy now, they can't sell five million taels even if they try to sell iron!
"How could it be a loss?" Qian Wubing smiled and pinched her nose, "That group of young ancestors in the afternoon thought that what I was doing now was what the Sanbao eunuchs did. We have heard about the Sanbao eunuchs' voyages to the West since we were children.
Well, we were all listening to those weird stories about his voyages to the West, but we never thought that when Emperor Taizong succeeded in appeasement, there was not much property in the treasury, and then he moved the capital from Nanjing to Beijing, which cost a huge amount of money.
A little bit, where did this money come from?"
"Aren't there taxes?" Wu Yanran shook her head, expressing that she didn't quite believe what he said.
"For things like taxation, it would be good to be able to balance the balance of payments. Where can we have these extra expenses? Not to mention that Emperor Taizong used troops very frequently. He used troops in the north and troops in the south. The money flowed out like water.
If it weren't for the mountains of gold and silver that Sanbao eunuchs brought back from overseas, we wouldn't be able to survive tomorrow!" Qian Wubing smiled slightly: "I'm not worried about losing money, I'm just worried that there won't be enough ships in the future, and there won't be enough people.
It’s not enough, and our family’s bank account is not large enough!”
