Zhu Zhanzhen hates the comprador class from the bottom of his heart. This class has occupied a part in the century-old history of humiliation. It sells national interests in exchange for wealth. To a large extent, it is a group of people who have no bottom line.
The great leader said that after China became a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society, the big mountain weighing on the people's heads was comprador and bureaucratic capitalism.
To call these compradors capitalists is to think too highly of them.
These foreign compradors cannot be called capitalists, but rely on the protection of foreign capital, exploit the common people by exploiting the lower classes, and achieve their enjoyment by seeking national assets.
Therefore, China's "capitalism" has never been real capitalism, but the spokesperson of foreign capital in China.
Once these people are allowed to occupy high positions, it will be extremely dangerous for the entire nation, because these people rarely have the concept of national interests in their minds, let alone the consciousness of the rise and fall of the nation.
Normally, these people do not have the ability to rise to the top or have a say in society, because their own abilities are not enough to support these things, but there are two special situations.
First, the family itself is very powerful.
Second, there are foreign forces supporting him behind the scenes.
After the YA war, British imperialism supported a group of foreign compradors like this. They did not pick the smart and capable ones, but only those who were sneaky and slippery and had no sense of right and wrong.
People of this tribe know best how to oppress their own tribe.
"Shopkeeper Li, do you know the Jiaozhi language?"
"Go back to your highness, the grassroots meeting."
"I'm going to Cochin this time. Nan Zhizhi and Shopkeeper Li will go with me. I want to make an appointment with Li Youmin. You should have a way to notify him."
Shopkeeper Li nodded tremblingly.
"Do good work."
"The common people understand."
Zhu Zhanzhen thought about it and called the winner of the Port Food Warehouse, Guo Qinjian, a merchant gang from Chaozhou, Guangdong.
Guo Qinjian is a middle-aged man under fifty years old, with a goatee and a rather elegant demeanor.
Most businessmen in this era did not wear gold and silver, as if they were nouveau riche, but mostly liked to dress like scholars. This is the same as those big capitalists in the future who like to sponsor universities to get honorary doctorates.
When you introduce him, you have to mention Dr.
Guo Qinjian saluted respectfully: "Guo Qinjian, a common man, came to see His Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County. I have long heard that Your Highness is the person who holds Huai Jin and Yu. I have never had the opportunity to visit His Highness alone before. This is a pure emerald green jade plaque that I prepared for His Highness. Please also ask
Your Highness accepts it."
He didn't give gifts secretly because there was no need to hide them.
Zhu Zhanzhen accepted the gift. The other party would not feel at ease if he did not accept the gift.
He handed it to Li Xiaozhu and whispered: "Save more of these things and use them as dowry when you marry me in the future."
Li Xiaozhu blushed, it was rare to see her looking so shy.
"Shopkeeper Guo, I won't beat around the bush. I'm going to visit Nanyang countries soon. At the same time, Cochin will suppress the rebellion. I plan to do a big business of transporting grain from Cochin to the Guangdong vassal in the future, because you won the grain category.
The import and export license for the goods, if you are willing, I will take you on this trip."
Guo Qinjian was a little surprised by this sudden invitation, but he immediately smiled and said: "It is natural that ordinary people can go to Nanyang with His Highness, but I don't know what His Highness needs ordinary people to do?"
"I plan to start a formal maritime trade with Jiaozhi, discuss the next monthly or annual grain demand from the perspective of the entire Guangdong vassal, control some prices based on quantity, purchase from Cochin and transport it back to the Guangdong vassal, and fill the granaries everywhere
, as a reserve of grain, of course it can also be sold in markets everywhere, not only in Cochin, but also in other countries in Southeast Asia."
This was doing business with the government. Guo Qinjian suddenly felt that a pie fell from the sky and hit him on the head. He immediately responded: "Your Highness works for the welfare of the people, and the common people should follow His Highness."
"Choose a few capable shopkeepers to go with you. If you have business dealings with Cochin, you can contact us. The trade I want is all-round trade."
Guo Qinjian was stunned. He understood that Zhu Zhanzhen meant the smuggling business before. For a moment, he had a drum in his heart. What did His Highness want to do? Isn't he trying to settle old scores? It's possible.
It's not a pie, it's a trap.
A businessman who does this to this extent is very cautious and cannot tolerate any sloppiness.
"Shopkeeper Guo, just work hard and you'll be fine."
"The common people understand."
Zhu Zhanzhen is a modern leader who is studying abroad. Many times he goes with consultants in professional fields. Most of them are leaders of major companies. Professional people do professional things and give leaders professional advice.
opinions.
This kind of activity can enhance one's reputation and there is real business to talk about, so everyone is very willing to do it.
Zhu Zhanzhen planned to bring a few people from all the trading firms that had obtained trade licenses this time. This time he wanted to try to see if he could go as far as Australia.
Then I ordered him to go down and notify all the merchants with trade licenses and ask them if they were willing to follow Zhu Zhanchang to Nanyang.
…
Early the next morning, several steam warships came down the river from the Pearl River to Xiangjiang Port. The leader of the team was Mu Bin, the prince of the Duke of Guizhou.
At this time, Mu Bin was wearing armor and looked majestic. Zhu Zhanyang introduced to Zheng He: "This is the eldest son of the Duke of Guizhou, Mu Bin, and he is also the commander of the first team of our Guangdong Navy."
Zheng He's face was full of shock. He didn't know how Zhu Zhanzhen managed to keep Mu Bin.
In fact, it's not complicated at all. Don't make things complicated. Zhu Zhanchen spoke and Mu Bin stayed.
"This time the Guangdong vassal's navy team is led by Mu Bin, with Zheng He as the commander-in-chief. Mu Bin, when the time comes to fight, you must obey Lord Zheng."
"I have heard of Master Zheng's reputation for a long time, and it is my honor to fight with you."
Zheng He was still surprised, but seeing Zhu Zhanzhen's expression of confidence, he didn't ask any more questions.
All merchants with trade licenses came, and they were all willing to follow Zhu Zhan to Nanyang.
Zhu Zhanzhen used a steam warship to carry them, and each person could only bring 3-4 followers or shopkeepers. However, Zhu Zhanzhen himself did not bring Li Xiaozhu and Zara this time, and let the two go.
The supervisor of the Zhujiang County Prince's Mansion strives to live in a new house during the Chinese New Year.
Cao Xinyue was different from other businessmen. She boarded Zhu Zhanzhen's ship, and neither of them shied away from letting others know about their special relationship.
Zheng He waved the flag on the treasure ship and beat the drum as the signal, and then set sail. All the steam warships followed the treasure ship and slowly sailed to the sea.
Chen Youshan specially came to the mountainside to look at the spectacular and large-scale fleet at the port. Steam rose in the sea, breaking through the waves and pressing down on the sea level.
Countless people also witnessed the scene of the fleet setting off, and everyone felt proud from the inside out. The national self-confidence brought about by the country's strength is unmatched by other things.
Chen Youshan couldn't help but burst into tears when he watched the warships going out. As a former magistrate of Xiangshan County, he knew that the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty had always been in a passive position in maritime matters. After the Zhoushan naval battle, he felt more deeply that the people were bullied by Japanese pirates.
of helplessness.
"With this navy and these warships, why should we fear the Japanese pirates?"
"Mr. Chen, you still need to see the newly transferred land." At this time, his subordinates came to call him.
Chen Youshan wiped away his tears, collected himself and said, "Let's go, I have to do my own thing well so that His Highness will have no worries." It was really an honor for him, Chen Youshan, to follow His Highness.
…
The sky is high and the clouds are vast, the sea is blue, and the calm sea is always particularly beautiful. The merchants on the warships came out one after another, and few of them had set foot on the sea like this.
The merchant ship they were on sailed on the sea, but as the owner, he rarely had the opportunity to set foot on the sea so close to him because it was too dangerous, and countless ships sank in the sea.
The pirates of the Wind and Waves will bring everything to naught, but now they have an army to protect them. This feeling of peace of mind allows them to enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of them with peace of mind.
Zhu Zhanzhen still likes to sit on a recliner and hold an umbrella while Chu'er peels fruit for him.
"Your Highness, this is the latest Aka 47 that Tao Ka brought to you before boarding the ship." Xiaosheng handed over a gun.
Zhu Zhanzhen took over the gun. Now Taoka has the technical support of the factory. Both the appearance and technology of the gun have been greatly improved. However, these improvements are still limited. He wants to continue to improve the capabilities of the gun and create real meaning.
The gun still has a long way to go.
Among all the warships, only Zhu Zhanyi's was dark, which looked particularly conspicuous, but it was also particularly powerful. Zheng He on the treasure ship looked at the warships behind and smiled helplessly. Zhu Zhanyi's style of doing things always made people laugh.
It's hard to fathom.
Zheng He took out a pair of telescopes, which Zhu Zhanxang had given him before going to sea. Zhu Zhanxang specially ordered people to make telescopes for this trip to Nanyang.
Zheng He looked at each warship through the telescope. Everything seemed to be in full view. He couldn't help but sigh that it must be Zhu Zhanzhen. This small invention is extremely useful. For navigation, it can see farther.
The advantage of first strike.
"Your Highness is always so full of fantastic ideas."
Hou Xian, another eunuch beside him, echoed, "Yes, His Highness' head seems to contain knowledge that is different from ordinary people's."
Hou Xian is Xiaosheng's adoptive father.
"I must say that your adopted son is very discerning. When His Highness was seven years old, he recommended himself to His Highness as a personal eunuch."
Hou Xian smiled and said: "This boy is also a smart boy. He told me that His Highness the Fifth Prince is extremely intelligent and mature at a young age. He will definitely achieve great things in the future. He does have some vision."
"Being able to recognize heroes is also a skill. His Highness values him very much now. You should talk to him more often. His Highness must be the first priority in everything. We should be grateful for our status to be used in such an important way."
"clear."
"By the way, what is the name of His Highness's pitch-black warship?"
"The Flying Henanese."
"His Highness's names are always weird."
