Almost everyone, including Zhu Ying, was dressed in casual clothes.
"This can be regarded as a private visit incognito."
Looking at the lively scene on the street, Zhu Ying said with a smile.
Business has always been prosperous here in Suzhou, and the Qunying Chamber of Commerce has seven or eight strongholds here.
The most important thing is that there is already a Public Security Department in Suzhou City.
That is Lan Yu's nephew Lan Tian.
Finding a dock somewhere to stop, Zhu Ying carefully looked at the faces of the people in the city.
Most of the people still couldn't hide their appearance and were rather skinny, especially the porters on the dock.
In many people's minds, those who work hard like this should be relatively strong. In fact, at a glance, everyone is very skinny.
The huge sack was carried directly on the shoulders, and everyone who saw it was a little panicked. The sack felt wider than a human being.
Just like if a gust of wind blows, these porters will be blown down.
However, even though they were carrying heavy objects on their shoulders, these workers seemed to have great strength, carrying them steadily and moving very fast.
After moving the last item, it’s time to move on to the next item.
On the stone pier next to the dock porters, there was a cashier who kept raising his head and drawing on the paper.
Moving at the wharf has always been calculated on a piece-by-piece basis. The more you move, the more the labor will be paid.
So everyone is rushing to move more times.
"These workers are very strong."
After looking at it for a long time, Uncle Zhang couldn't help but say with admiration.
Although Suzhou City is the main stronghold of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, Uncle Zhang has never been here in person and is with his employer.
In the past, we mainly operated in the Western Regions, deserts, and grasslands.
There are not many water transport terminals like this.
Zhu Ying shook her head: "No one is strong, they are just poor people who are just trying their best to support their families."
Seeing the dock workers looking like this, Zhu Ying couldn't help but think of the issue of meat.
If you want to develop animal husbandry, you cannot do without feed.
The most high-quality feed is undoubtedly corn.
Corn kernels are the finest concentrated feed for livestock and poultry, and have a significant effect on improving the production and quality of pork, milk and egg products.
Corn straw is also a good feed, especially high-energy feed for cattle, which can replace part of the corn kernels.
The disadvantage of corn straw is that it contains less protein and calcium, so it needs to be supplemented.
Straw silage not only keeps stems and leaves fresh and juicy, but also produces lactic acid and other substances through the action of microorganisms during the silage process, which enhances palatability.
Silage can not only be used all year round and is less affected by natural disasters, but also has a long shelf life, about three to five years.
The threshold for silage technology is very low. Basically, Zhu Ying can complete it just by asking for it.
In this case, more of the meat in the Ming Dynasty could be served on the dining tables of ordinary people.
It cannot be said that these things can be changed in just one or two years, but Zhu Ying has to control his direction so that Ming Dynasty will always develop on a good line.
While thinking about it, Zhu Ying saw a familiar figure coming with several guards.
Seeing that the man was approaching, he was about to kneel down on one knee and bow in salute.
Zhu Ying waved her hand to stop this behavior.
Lantian immediately understood what His Highness Taisun meant.
Just bowing and bowing, not too prominent.
"Find a better restaurant and have a good chat," Zhu Ying said with a smile.
"Follow the order." Lan Tian immediately clasped his fists and said.
The prosperity of Suzhou has naturally given rise to many high-end entertainment and consumption places, such as the restaurant where Zhu Ying is now.
Suzhou's restaurants have their own special advantages. They are three stories high, with a huge void in the middle.
Next to the corridor on the second and third floors is the private room.
You can also close the screen and watch some performances or other entertainment activities below.
At this time, the most popular thing in Suzhou City was naturally the storyteller telling the Di Bao.
Although there is some time difference due to the distance, the content of the newspaper in Suzhou is about half a month delayed compared to that in the capital.
"Tell me about it. I have been here in Suzhou for a long time. What feelings do you have and what problems have you encountered? I will tell you today."
"Especially from the Department of Public Security, for the people, whether they accept it or reject it."
"And how do you communicate with the Suzhou government?"
Zhu Ying took a sip of tea and asked.
When Lan Tian heard this, he immediately understood that the next step was very important to him.
Strictly speaking, it has a lot to do with your own future.
If his actions in the Suzhou Public Security Department cannot satisfy His Majesty the Grand Sun, it may be very difficult for him to go further.
It's just that His Highness Taisun came too directly. There was no preparation at all in Lantian, and he never even thought about reporting, so he could only tell it on the spot.
Seeing Lan Tian's deep thoughts, Zhu Ying did not urge her, but quietly waited for Lan Tian to speak.
After thinking for a long time, Lan Tian finally sorted it out in his mind and said:
"When I first entered Suzhou City, I was relatively unfamiliar with the functions of the Public Security Department. Fortunately, I got the regulations written by His Highness himself."
"After entering the city, there was nothing uncooperative on the part of the Suzhou Prefect, including the Yamen of the Public Security Department. They also chose a relatively good location. In all aspects, Suzhou Prefect Yang Youwen has no intention of delaying."
"The only problem we encounter is that the merchants in this city, including the landlords and gentry, most of them join forces to suppress the people and are not allowed to appeal if there is a case."
"They even mobilized guards secretly, with a vague intention of confrontation."
"The first step I take is to find out the details of the big families in Suzhou City."
"I feel ashamed to say that my brothers have made no achievements in this area. In the end, we asked the Qunying Chamber of Commerce for help, and then we gained control of some large households."
"I was worried about triggering a mutiny, so I didn't want to go too far all at once. So after I understood the contradictions between them, I joined one faction and fought another, and then slowly started to fight in the city of Suzhou."
Lantian described very clearly the step-by-step development of the Department of Public Security here, including the problems encountered and how to solve them.
After solving these problems, how to carry out their own responsibilities?
After Zhu Ying listened, she nodded to express her approval.
For Zhu Ying, Lantian can be said to be a direct line of troops.
Whether you are an emperor or a grandson, you all need people to help you manage.
Therefore, when it comes to selecting talented people, those who can correctly implement their own ideas are the best people.
Lantian has done an excellent job at this point.
It can be said that the regulations formulated by Zhu Ying are completely followed and strictly implemented.
Of course, for now, this is just Lantian's opinion. Whether this is the case still needs verification from many aspects.
In fact, as far as Suzhou is concerned, whether it is the addition of the Public Security Department or the Suzhou government itself, it is a key supervision area of the imperial court.
The main problem does not lie with the government, but with the big local households.
Almost all the big families here are involved in business, and most of the shops on the streets are in the hands of these big families.
Even if the farmland is hit hard, it can hardly be said to shake their huge foundation.
Zhu Ying pondered for a while and said: "There is something to be learned about the water transportation."
Suzhou Prefecture's biggest profiteering source is water transportation.
This is especially true in Yanguan.
Taking advantage of the convenience of the waterway, there are many private salt sellers, such as Zhang Shicheng, who was born as a salt seller in Suzhou.
