"Ziying, you said you would recruit merchants to go to Denglai to set up a shipyard, but how can merchants from Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong and Guangxi be willing to go?"
Wu Liangsi also frowned. He was from Huguang and knew that it was difficult to leave his homeland.
"They are familiar with people in their hometown, of course they can, but when they come to Denglai, they have nothing and have to start all over again. How can they be willing? If they are merchants here in Shandong, they don't have shipbuilding skills, and they won't be able to make a living at all for a while.
…”
"So this requires us to let the craftsmen of Longjiang and Qingjiang shipyards increase their confidence. The court can give them a three-year or five-year ship ordering plan, so that they can see that after the shipyards are built, they can quickly have business.
In addition, if there is insufficient land, docks or even money, we should find ways to support them and encourage them to quickly establish a foothold..."
Feng Ziying explained patiently, "Businessmen go wherever they go to make profits, so there are Shanshan, Huizhou, and Dongting guilds everywhere. As long as they can make money, they dare to go to Liaodong, not to mention Denglai."
"
"Ziying, your idea is quite innovative, but there are also many problems here. Setting up a shipyard in Denglai will probably cost tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of money. Even wealthy businessmen from Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangxi would not dare to
Try it easily, it's not as easy as you think."
Cui Jingrong also agreed with Feng Ziying's point of view to a certain extent, but he was much more cautious, "You mentioned whether it is ordered by the imperial court, whether the craftsmen are moved there and used by them and adopted their business model, or other aspects of the imperial court's support and convenience.
Well, they are all very specific and require careful discussion and verification step by step. It cannot be done by jumping to conclusions."
Feng Ziying breathed a sigh of relief.
It's okay if you don't deny it directly.
It seems that my continuous indoctrination into Cui Jingrong during this period has had some effect. He is no longer as conservative as before. He should be cautious, but at least he has gradually accepted some of his own ideas. This is a good sign.
Another personal purpose of Feng Ziying this time is to let more people understand and recognize her views through this period of contact, and to support them in some practical work.
But people like Cui Jingrong, Wei Guangwei and Wu Liangsi are adults who have been officials for many years. They have their own ideas and concepts, which are not easy to change. This requires constant exposure, and now it seems that the results are quite acceptable.
People like Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng are much easier to impress (fudge). Many of their concepts are still in the formative stage. As long as you make sense, they will accept them quickly.
Jinling is the political center of Southern Zhili and even Jiangnan, but it is far from being the economic center. Suzhou and Yangzhou are both more prosperous.
However, as the first capital of the former Ming and Zhou dynasties, there are indeed quite a few hairpin cherry houses here.
For example, the current four oldest families, Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue, have either declined or have been transferred to the capital. It can only be said that the foundations are still there, but they are no longer what they used to be. Otherwise, Xue Pan would not be able to survive after committing the crime.
He fled Jinling in a hurry and has not dared to return to this day. The four new families headed by the Zhen family, which gradually emerged after the 30th year of Yuanxi, are in the ascendant.
The eldest daughter of the Zhen family is the Princess of Beijing, and Zhen Yingjia's aunt is the Princess of Nan'an County. Moreover, the second brother of the head of the Zhen family, Zhen Yingjia, Zhen Yingyu, is now the Minister of the Ministry of Rites of Nanjing. The third brother, Zhen Yinghui, is now the Tongzhi of Hangzhou Prefecture. Zhen Yingjia himself once served as the governor of Jinling. The president of Tirenyuan, also known as Nanjing Imperial College Jijijiu, a senior official from the fourth grade, is currently idle at home.
Now that we have come to Jinling, we must still go there according to the etiquette. The Jia, Xue, and Wang families must go there, but it seems inappropriate to leave only one historian alone, so I just give four gifts to one. As soon as it was delivered, it was with all my heart.
There are no extravagant people left in the Jia family here, except for Jia Qi, a cousin of the same generation as Jia She and Jia Zheng.
"Miss Yuanyang?! Why are you here?" When Feng Ziying came to the door, she didn't expect to meet Yuanyang here.
Jia Qi is just a cousin of Jia Zheng, Jia She and Jia Jing, because the Jia family only has a few villages and one big house left here, and other scattered tribesmen have already been scattered here. In a street known as Rongning Street, most of them have become ordinary people, and only Jia Qi is a member of the Jia family who is relatively close to the family.
No one has come to visit the Jia family for a long time. This can be seen from the fact that when Feng Ziying came to visit, the family was bored and playing chess. Feng Ziying brought two large boxes of gifts so grandly and even sent a post. The visit made the Jia family members who stayed behind extremely excited.
And Jia Qi couldn't restrain himself, especially after looking at the post. Without asking, he knew that this was a prominent figure from the capital city, because in the past two days, some prominent figures in Jinling City knew that important officials from the imperial court were coming. On official business, he mainly inspected the south of the Yangtze River. The Six Ministries of Nanjing and the Jinling Mansion took turns to invite him. Unexpectedly, this man took the initiative to visit the Jia Mansion.
Although the Jia family itself is also known as the four princes, eight princes and twelve princes in the capital, the four princes, eight princes and twelve princes are now in decline. The most important thing is that no one in the Jia family has real power in the court.
In comparison, the Wang family is actually nothing in Jinling City. In the past, it was still ranked third among the four old families. However, Prince Teng was first the military governor of the Beijing camp, then the right minister of the Ministry of War, and later It was Governor Xuanda again, and now he was transferred to Governor Denglai to be responsible for the preparation of the northern naval fleet. It was a smash hit, far beyond the Jia family.
Even now, the Wang family has a lot of people visiting their homes during Chinese New Year and holidays. Even though no one in Wang Ziteng's family is here, his eldest brother and younger brother are still here as nephews, so they come to deliver messages at their homes during the holidays. There was an endless stream of people, and the Jia family, who were only two streets away, were extremely jealous.
Yuanyang didn't expect that Uncle Feng would actually talk to her in such a warm and friendly tone, which made her unable to help but smile as she brought the tea.
"Uncle Feng, this is the Jia family. I am a girl from the Jia family. Why can't I be here?" She rolled her eyes charmingly. Yuanyang suddenly realized that her expression seemed to make the atmosphere more ambiguous. She looked at the person next to her. The fourth master's look of surprise and suspicion must have been thinking about something else.
Feng Ziying really didn't expect to meet Yuanyang here, and she was very happy.
It has been almost a month since I came out. I have been arguing and discussing with Cui Jingrong and Wei Guangwei every day. However, Sanjie You needs to be vigilant at all times because of her special status. Moreover, she had been on the same boat with Lin Yatou when she came down from the capital and arrived in Yangzhou.
But when they heard the news of the assassination, the Qiu Shui Sword Sect quickly sent people to intervene for protection, so there was no chance for them to be gentle, let alone for a romantic relationship.
There is no one around her who is familiar with her, and Feng Ziying is still a little uncomfortable with it. Now she finally meets Yuanyang. Although she is not very familiar with her, after all, she has many things in common. At least she has found her in half a day.
The chat was fun.
"No, that's not what I meant, but shouldn't you be in the capital city? When will the old lady be able to leave you? I'm afraid I won't be able to eat well, right?" Feng Ziying laughed.
Yuanyang's charming look made him feel swaying in his heart. She has a tall and well-proportioned figure, an oval face, eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, and a few small invisible freckles on her fair cheeks, but they add a bit of liveliness to this girl.
The smell makes people feel close to each other.
"Uncle Feng, your slave really can't bear your words. The old lady still has amber, agate, jade, and pearls with her. When the slave is gone, she still has amber. When Amber is gone, there are still agate, emerald, parrot, and the others.
"Oh, it's just like what you said." Yuanyang's pretty face turned red, she pursed her lips and glared in retort. "Haha, that's different. I know Amber is a fine person like you. As for the others,
The parrot was given to Sister Lin and turned into a rhododendron, and the pearl was given to Baoyu and turned into an attacker. I know these few, they are all loyal and hard-working. The others who were added later are not as good as you.
How many, well, among the girls in Rongguo Mansion, if you want to be number one, you have to count, even Jin Chuan'er is inferior to you by a few points."
Feng Ziying counted all the treasures in her family, which made Jia Qi next to her very curious.
This Hanlin Academy editor is said to be a hit, but he is a great figure in the imperial court. Although among the people who went south to the imperial court, he has the lowest official position and rank, only a sixth grade, but it is said that in terms of his reputation in the court,
The cabinet and the emperor's attention was even lower than that of Cui Jingrong, the right minister of household affairs who led the team, not to mention the others.
Why is such a luxurious person so familiar with the girls in Jia's house? He even knows that the maids around Baoyu passed by Jia's mother?
This is too incredible.
Yuanyang also didn't expect that Feng Ziying would be so familiar with them, and hold herself so high, and she felt happy, annoyed, ashamed and angry inside.
That Jin Chuan'er is the number one girl around Madam, and she has always been highly valued by Madam. Not long after she went to the Feng Mansion, she has become the number one celebrity around Uncle Feng.
It turns out that there are rumors in the mansion that the four girls, Jin Chuan'er, Ping'er, and Xiren, are vying for the top spot in the Rongguo mansion. Yuanyang has never thought of it, the conscience of heaven and earth.
It's just that these rumors are naturally not groundless. Jin Chuan'er has gained power with his wife, Ping'er has the support of Mistress Lian, and Xiren is serving the second master Bao who is the number one in the Rongguo Mansion. Naturally, they are not allowed to do so.
Yes, but I am following the old lady. All in all, I can't live in peace.
Even after Jinchuan'er left, he still couldn't help being bothered by such words.
