161. Section
What else can Jiang Zhen have?
Naturally, he will treat his body by his own way.
These people bribed his men, took action on his property, and even wanted to harm his family... Why can't he do the same?
There are more people in his hands than these people!
Jiang Zhen has always been avenge and revenge and gratitude. He threw chicken blood and beaten one by one, but it was just the beginning.
Liu Baitong has a shipyard under his command and has raised many craftsmen. Although these craftsmen's skills are not as good as those of the Wen family, they are already good. With this shipyard, he is one of the most powerful maritime merchants in Hexingfu, Wuzhong Mansion.
As a result, dozens of shipbuilders under his command disappeared overnight! Even the families of these craftsmen also disappeared!
Liu Baitong was originally angry about the fact that Jin Zhen's escort agency beat his son, but suddenly heard such news and couldn't sit still.
It’s the Jin Zhen Escort Agency, definitely the Jin Zhen Escort Agency!
Without so many workers, how should he build his ship?
"Come here, prepare a carriage!" Liu Baitong did not do the same thing as Jiang Zhen alone, let alone Jiang Zhen's failure. Since that's the case, why bother to be reluctant to give in to him?
Others have done this, as well as Liu Baitong.
Many maritime merchants and salt merchants went to the Jinzhen escort agency to find Jiang Zhen.
Jiang Zhen did not see them.
These people made him very unhappy, why did he meet them?
Jiang Zhen did not see anyone, but instead asked his men to do more trouble for others.
He did not kill or hurt people, so as not to avoid his subordinates being arrested for committing crimes, but even so, he could already make those families restless.
When the servants at home go out to buy vegetables, they will always encounter something, and they will be thrown into rotten eggs with rotten leaves. That is the most common one!
The rat and smelly fish thrown in the house is nothing at all. The good lotus pond has inexplicably turned into a cesspool, which is the worst thing to worry about.
As for the house seems to be haunted, there is a ghost called Black Shadow in the middle of the night...
Liu Baitong hasn't slept well for a long time, and his eyes are red, but in the face of this situation, he is powerless.
Many people see all this.
"Jiang Zhen is really amazing!" Luo Tianci, who came to Jiangnan to do business, was filled with emotion. He had known that the Jin Zhen escort agency had developed well, but it was not until this moment that he understood how good it had developed.
There are really people from the Jin Zhen Escort Agency everywhere in Hexing Mansion.
Luo Tianci was very happy and came with him to the middle-aged man here. His expression was a little solemn: "This Jiang Zhen is different from another Cheng Yongzhen!"
"He Cheng Yongzhen was the king of Ryukyu, and he only asked for a sea ban. If it weren't for the short-sighted and short-sighted men in the court, how could he force people to do this?" Luo Tianci said: "If they treated Cheng Yongzhen well, maybe my Daqi would have an extra powerful navy at this time!"
"You can't say that." The middle-aged man said: "Cheng Yongzhen openly declared king. This is slapping the court in the face and not taking the court seriously."
Luo Tianci knew that his friend had always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic, so he stopped talking, but asked again: "Do you want to see Jiang Zhen?"
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and nodded: "You want it."
Jiang Zhen was a little surprised when he received Luo Tianci's visitation.
Luo Tianci has been in Hexing Mansion for a while and has been selling goods for purchases. Unexpectedly, he came to find him now.
Jiang Zhen and Luo Tianci were still in love, so they let people come in.
Luo Tianci, who was once hungry and lost weight by the water bandits, has become fat again now and is still so fat that when Jiang Zhen saw him, he thought of high blood sugar, high blood lipids and high blood pressure...
Luo Tianci was not the only one who came, there was another middle-aged man. The man looked at Jiang Zhen with an inquiring gaze, and then quickly turned his gaze back.
"General Jiang Jie, we are here this time to cooperate with the General Jiang Jie!" Seeing Jiang Zhen, Luo Tianci immediately smiled and said, "No, it's not about cooperation, but about hiring Jin Zhen Jie Agency to deliver goods to us."
"What are you going to send?" Jiang Zhen asked.
"Food and grass." Luo Tianci said a word that surprised Jiang Zhen.
In Daqi, the country needs to manage things like salt, and the country naturally needs to manage things like grain. For example, they have never allowed the public to engage in large-scale grain transactions.
"Who is Manager Luo?" Jiang Zhen asked.
"I am just a businessman, this is the real master." Luo Tianci pointed to the middle-aged man around him.
Luo Tianci actually has a certain identity. He was originally a child of an official family, but later his father was convicted and he became a sinner.
But he had a good friend, the one around him, who tried his best to protect him and sent him to the subordinates of a prince at that time.
He followed the prince and started to do business. He had some skills, but in the end he actually made his business bigger and bigger, and he was valued by the prince!
Of course, even so, he was just an ordinary businessman. He could not interfere in food trading, but his friends were different.
Luo Tianci briefly introduced that he did not tell the specific identity of the middle-aged man around him, but he revealed some of it. He made it clearer about the purpose of their visit to Jiangnan this time.
This time, they bought military rations for the Liaodong Iron Cavalry.
During the previous dynasty, the court always collected food for tax collection, but when this was implemented, it was easy for people to take advantage of loopholes. When it arrived in Daqi, someone changed it.
Now Daqi collects taxes and collects cash.
This makes many things more convenient, but some places become troublesome.
For example, military rations are very difficult to handle.
The Liaodong Iron Cavalry is one of the most elite troops in the Great Qi Dynasty. Every year, the imperial court would send them one or two million taels of military pay, sometimes more, but in terms of food and grass, some of them were not available.
The middle-aged man in front of him came to Jiangnan to buy food and grass for the Liaodong Iron Cavalry.
"Now, the canal transportation is very expensive under the layers of pipes, so we hope to go through the sea transportation." Luo Tianci said.
"Sea transportation?" Jiang raised his eyebrows in shock. The court had a sea ban.
"The matter of President Jiang's escort and the matter of banning sea is actually useless. You know this very clearly." Luo Tianci said, of course, there are other reasons why they dare to do this.
The Liaodong Iron Cavalry is very strong, so they actually don’t care about some regulations in the court.
"I have to think about this." Jiang Zhen said.
After Jiang Zhen sent Luo Tianci away, he asked Zheng Yi about something about Liaodong. Finally, he agreed.
Now, the Rong people in the north are eyeing the Great Qi, and they are all relying on the Liaodong Iron Cavalry to block them. The Liaodong Iron Cavalry lacks enough food and supplies, and he should always help within his ability.
What's more, after catching some shipbuilding craftsmen everywhere, he would undoubtedly have more and more ships in the next time.
That's right, those shipbuilding craftsmen were captured directly by Jiang Zhen.
He had always tried to find ways to dig shipbuilding craftsmen everywhere, but he didn't dig much. This time, when he got angry, he simply caught it!
And at this moment, all the craftsmen were sent to the beach by him.
These craftsmen were very scared at first, but soon they got used to living under Jiang Zhen's hands, and this had a lot to do with the fact that the craftsman's status at that time was not high.
These craftsmen are no different from servants elsewhere. Many people even signed contracts for selling their bodies, but they were different under Jiang Zhen's hands.
The technicians need to be treated well. Jiang Zhen always thought so, so he was naturally very good to those craftsmen. After these craftsmen found that Jiang Zhen’s life was very good, they felt at ease to do things for Jiang Zhen.
Even after Jiang Zhen gave some reward measures, their enthusiasm for building ships became more and more powerful.
This year, the sea merchant Cheng Yongzhen became king in Ryukyu.
This year, Jiang Zhen encountered some trouble, but soon, he solved the trouble.
This year, Jiang Zhen took on the job of transporting food and grass to the Liaoning Iron Cavalry.
It was also from this year that Jiang Zhen no longer went out to sea with the ship.
In a blink of an eye, three years have passed.
Many things have happened in the past three years, and the one that made Jiang Zhen sigh the most was the matter of Hai Shang Cheng Yongzhen.
Although Cheng Yongzhen was the king of Ryukyu, he actually had no intention of rebelling and even yearned for the court, and the court seized his weakness.
The Empress Dowager sent officials to the southern Fujian Prefecture, discussed with Cheng Yongzhen in person, and sent Cheng Yongzhen's family and relatives to Ryukyu, and then invited Cheng Yongzhen to amnesty.
Cheng Yongzhen agreed to the call and took dozens of subordinates to the southern Fujian Mansion with the official. After getting off the boat and getting into the sedan chair, he was directly carried to the prison.
When Jiang Zhen heard the news, his brows frowned tightly.
Since he met a businessman from Europa, these Europa merchants have appeared more and more near Daqi.
There is no doubt that some places have entered the Age of Discovery.
Daqi could have gotten a piece of the pie, but they arrested Cheng Yongzhen.
Not only that, they arrested Cheng Yongzhen, but failed to gather Cheng Yongzhen's subordinates, and even caused some trouble.
Japanese pirates.
Japanese pirates appeared in the coastal areas, and the so-called Japanese pirates were actually Cheng Yongzhen's old subordinates.
At the beginning, Cheng Yong really broke up many pirates, which made his fleet bigger and stronger, and even had 100,000 people under his command. Now that he is gone, those pirates naturally become pirates again.
