Chapter 54 Dismounting
The two ships were ranked in the Luo River in turn, and each ship did not look at Ren... and the waterline of each ship was very deep, which proved that they were loaded with heavy cargo.
This is probably the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty that he brought so many goods to office.
Wang Hua stood by the Luo River and talked to Li Guer. Li Guer seemed to feel fooled and regretted it now. Wang Hua had to comfort him: "Guer, do you really need your help? Do you see it? Even Li Hong stayed
Li Guer still didn't say anything, and Wang Hua had to say again: "Guer. When the matter is completed, I will send eighteen large ships to pick you up to Qinzhou."
“Lagou.”
Let’s take a look, Wang Hua and Li Guer have a hook, and after the food matter is completed, there may be a shortage of money. It may not be a good thing to make two great achievements in one’s own efforts. Leaving a lack of pain and letting the ministers impeach it will also be beneficial to him. Moreover, when Li Guer went to Qinzhou, it was almost a year later. At that time, Qinzhou was also built in a bit, not because Li Guer was wronged.
Only then did Li Guer release Wang Hua onto the boat.
At the same time, Li Chiying stood on the Huitong Bridge, just hidden in the carriage, no one noticed it. Seeing Wang Hua boarding the boat, the boat started to start to feel a pain in her heart, she fell on the curtain of the car, and her body fell down almost softly.
Ming'er immediately helped her and asked, "Little Princess, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Hua did not see this scene, and even when he arrived, he could only sigh and could not do anything.
There were many people on this ship, in addition to Wang Hua, Zhu Qi, Li Xuejun, and Mu Zili, and Wang Han, who came from Taiyuan after receiving a quick letter from Wang's father, was going to Qinzhou with Wang Hua. But Wang Hua only brought some of the guards in the mansion. These people still had to continue to protect the safety of their families.
In addition to them, there are also several shopkeepers of the Wang family in Taiyuan who went to Suzhou to take charge of the command.
The ship headed south, traveling day and night, with almost no rest, and arrived in Suzhou in more than ten days. Here, the goods on the river boat were unloaded onto a larger sea boat. This was the ship of Painter Wang. There were a total of twenty huge ships. Some of them had purchased a batch of goods in Suzhou and loaded them on the ship. Old!
Looking at the huge figures of these ships, Zhu Quan asked in a low voice: "Mr., are there many concubines and ships in our mansion?"
"It's hard to say, because new ships are launched every day, but the data I recently learned is in the first month of the year, and there are about 330 ships like this."
Although Zhu Quan was mentally prepared, he still stuck out his tongue.
But in Suzhou, Wang Hua delayed for two days.
The Wang family in Taiyuan has sent candidates one after another, and Wang Hua also sent candidates named Ye Ke. This is the big shopkeeper in charge of several porcelain kilns of Wang Paojia. It turned out that he was a loser. He was discouraged because he failed the imperial examinations many times and was disheartened and taught in the countryside to make a living. Life was very difficult. Later, Song Wen discovered that because of his talent in arithmetic, although he was an outsider, under the instruction of Wang Hua, he began to take over the management and account management of several porcelain kilns of Wang's family. He has been grateful for his past few years and is loyal to the Wang Hua's family. This is also the only shopkeeper who can take over the operation and account management of several porcelain kilns of Wang Hua.
So Wang Hua takes time, no matter how rich and powerful he is, his foundation is insufficient.
Wang Hua and this old master Ye spent two days together. In the past two days, Wang Hua kept explaining to him some original capital operation knowledge and the things he paid attention to in this operation. Ye Ke listened carefully. Sometimes he was afraid of forgetting it. He even took notes. Wang Hua was very satisfied after seeing it. Maybe Mr. Ye was not very talented, but diligence can make up for his shortcomings, and this seriousness can also make up for his talent. No wonder Song Wen and Elva Hsiao both strongly recommended this person.
It was not until the third day that Wang Hua had a walk around Suzhou.
Even Suzhou is an important city in the Tang Dynasty. If there are fugitives, there is still more than 600,000 people, almost 60 times that of Qinzhou. Of course, except for the ancient capital of Jiankang in the Six Dynasties, the rest of the other people, such as Runzhou, Yangzhou, Xuanzhou, and Hangzhou, have a population of more than 500,000. Among the entire Tang Dynasty's prefectures and counties, in addition to Chang'an, which has a population of nearly 2 million and Luoyang, which has a population of nearly 1.2 million, there are also monsters.
It is mainly derived from the natural fishing and rice land, with a distinct climate and suitable for people to live in. Moreover, it transports food to other prefectures and counties, and this area almost reaches two-thirds of this total. Therefore, Hao Pengfei chose this place as the main battlefield. Since Hao Pengfei chose this place, Wang Hua also chose this place to confront him.
In order to cause trouble in the future, Wang Hua also specially visited the governor of Suzhou.
Perhaps Lingnan didn't know why Wang Hua came to Lingnan, but Suzhou was not very far away from the capital. The Suzhou governor had known the inside story of Wang Hua going to Lingnan. This was not a demotion, but Wang Hua took the initiative to go there. Therefore, he did not neglect. Wang Hua said his purpose in obscurely and brought a few responsible people to introduce them.
The Suzhou governor didn't think of anything else. He was not Wang Hua's family. There were so many grain merchants in Suzhou who agreed immediately.
Then Wang Hua returned to the ship.
At this time, the cargo on the ship was loaded, but more than 300 people were added. He got on the ship. This was the confidant transferred from various places to Qinzhou by Wang Hua. In addition to some good guards, there were also various skilled craftsmen and some scholars. Wang Hua did not hide it. As a result, after Li Xian learned about it in Luoyang, he squeezed out a sentence after a long time: "Big work."
It was a big deal, but if Wang Hua couldn't afford to pay, it would probably not take long. The remaining money accumulated at home would be used up, and Lao Wei was worried.
But things didn't end here.
The fleet was heading south along the coast. Ten ships joined in Quanzhou and Guangzhou, but these ships were filled with chickens, ducks, goose eggs, nearly 10,000 living birds, and 30,000 piglets. When they arrived, they were two-clubs. Ten ships joined in. But all of them were filled with food.
When I heard this news in the morning court, the king and his ministers took a breath of air conditioning and then remained silent for a long time.
However, when this news spread, many people envied the people of that state after hearing this. But the news gradually spread south, and finally some fugitives and poor people in the south began to wander to Qinzhou.
But Wang Hua quietly got off the ship when the Suzhou ship was about to hurt his voyage.
He took Zhu Quan and four guards, rode horses, and took Wang Hua to use the place he worked in the Ministry of Revenue, and ran all the way to Yongzhou. In fact, from Hengzhou to the south, even if he did not go to Lingnan Yunnan and Guizhou, because there were many mountainous areas and most of them lived in ethnic minorities, the court did not pay much attention to it. This included Yongzhou, so Liu Zongyuan wrote the people so miserably in "The Snake Catcher's Talk". However, the Xiangjiang River began to widen from Yongzhou. If this road could be opened, it would benefit countless people.
The sea is long and far away, and Wang Hua is sent out from Yongzhou in advance, passing through Daozhou, Guizhou, Zhaozhou, Xiangzhou, Guizhou Guangxi Guixian, Xunzhou, Hengzhou and other prefectures. Or due to changes, there are more prefectures passed by. Wang Hua is conducting a preliminary investigation in advance.
Although the speed has slowed down since Yongzhou, the six people rushed in a hurry in the early stage. When Wang Hua came to Qinzhou, the fleet had not arrived yet.
Wang Hua and Zhu Qi crossed the 100,000 mountains and arrived in Qinzhou.
When he arrived at Qinzhou Prefecture City, Zhu Quan was stunned when he saw it.
A "street" street rarely sees decent houses on both sides of the street, especially a few families are particularly conspicuous, and most of the rest are thatched huts and stilted bamboo houses. It is estimated that the Qinzhou people have two winds in their mouths in a year, and the dragon and autumn wind blow, half of the houses will blow away. If it weren't for the dilapidated state yamen, two small inns, a small brothel, two taverns and two grocery shops, Zhu Quan suspected that it would be better than Wang Hua's hometown Qingshangu. Zhu Qi was silent for a long time and said: Mr. Hou, you really chose a good place.
Wang Huaxiao, Zhu Qi reacted reasonably. This is a bad side, but it also has a good side. Not to mention the natural terrain of Qinzhou, this port is already mouth-watering. Just say that the local people, when they arrived here, there were very few real Han people, most of them were Li, Zhuang, Miao, and Jing people, but there is no such statement now. The court almost uniformly called barbarians, barbarians, cave people, or brought place names, such as Luobian Cave, Cailong Cave, Fushui Man, etc.
These people are sometimes very barbaric because of their backward culture. This is a flaw, but they can endure hardships and have a clever hand. Just like Huang Daopo’s imitation loom, they learned from the Li people. Wang Hua also saw it on the street. Although some girls’ clothes and fabrics are poor, the embroidered patterns are very exquisite.
The people are skillful and able to endure hardships, which is also a high-quality resource.
Another advantage is that this small city actually built a tall and sturdy city wall. However, Wang Hua and Zhu Quan, who knew the inside story, did not think that this city wall was a good thing.
They found an inn to stay, and at this time two middle-aged men came to the door. This was one of the people who entered Qinzhou in advance by Wang Hua, with a total of more than 120 people. They arrived here seven or eight days earlier than Wang Hua. The two saluted Wang Hua, and one of them brought a large bag of things.
This is the local material. Wang Hua opened the bag and looked through it. He saw some joy in his eyes. He saw ceramic clay, kaolin, and clay for bricks and tiles. In addition to these soils, there are gypsum, limestone, and granite. What made him most happy was seeing the media. With coal, many things were easy to do.
Wang Hua said: "Thank you for your hard work."
Let them sit down, and another big man handed over a pack of documents. This is some news these people have heard in the past few days.
Wang Hua opened the documents and looked them one by one, and also gave Zhu Qi a look.
After Wang Hua finished reading the official documents, there was a lot of bad news, but there was also some good news. At least it was not as bad as Wang Hua thought.
Because of these documents, Wang Hua originally planned to observe in Qinzhou for a few more days, but now he has changed his mind.
The next day, Wang Hua came to the prefecture yamen.
In other prefectures, in addition to the governors, there are other states, including the chief officers, Sima and the officers of the military, the officers of the various departments, the staff, the staff and the yamen runners. Some prefectures are still the soldiers and garrisons. However, except for one governor, Qinzhou, there are only one chief officer and one Sima, and there are several yamen runners. No one else is. As for the five subordinate counties, the situation is even worse. In addition to the county magistrate, there are county magistrates, the county magistrate, the chief magistrate, and even the Cao Caoshen. Qinjiang, Anjing, Neiting, Zunhua and Lingshan County. In addition to one county magistrate, there are also a chief magistrate and several yamen runners, and there are no other ones.
Of course, there are only two or three thousand people in a county in Qinzhou. If hundreds of officials and yamen runners are supported like Gong County, the people will go bankrupt. In addition to these, there is a garrison in Xiling, Qinjiang County. There are hundreds of soldiers in it, but these soldiers are the biggest problem after Wang Hua took office.
Wang Hua handed over the letter talisman and handed over the official seal with the Qinzhou Governor Yi Shiyuan. Wang Hua saw that he was a little panicked. It was not the right talisman. After handing over the official seal, it was settled. He also had to check the official documents and accounts of the official seal. The current officials checked for no misunderstandings before they could take the official seal. But if it was not checked out, if there was any problem with the ex, the current employee must bear it.
Through Yi Shiyuan's flashing eyes, Wang Hua knew that there was a ghost in his heart.
However, Wang Hua knew that he was just a puppet governor, and even if he was greedy, he couldn't be much greedy. Besides, in Qinzhou, he could get a lot of oil and water from the people. Therefore, Wang Hua took the official account book and handed it over to Zhu Qi, but did not check it, and the handover was smoothly handed over.
Yi Shiyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and began to look at Wang Hua quietly. Qinzhou was not very clear about the inside story of Wang Hua coming to Qinzhou. But he knew that he was coming, so rumors spread. But the most rumors were Wang Huayin.
However, the local people were not very clear about Wang's paintings because they were far away from the Central Plains, but Yi Shiyuan knew some details of Wang's paintings. Therefore, they were a little curious.
It turns out that Wang Hua is regarded as a giant panda.
Wang Hua ignored him. Since he took over, he began to summon eight yamen runners, and only two were inside the yamen. But not far away, a yamen runner stood at the door of the yamen and shouted, and the whole people of Qinzhou City heard it. Several yamen runners came over together. Except for Qinzhou City, it was in Lingshan County, Wang Hua asked them to go to the other four counties and summoned the magistrates of the four counties and the zhubo.
In the afternoon, no one came, but Wang Hua and his subordinates came in to report that several county magistrates had come, but were drinking with Ning Changshi in a tavern in the city.
Perhaps because Wang Hua didn't look through the accounts and grabbed his tail, Yi Shiyuan whispered: "Mr. Hou, just live by it. This is they are deliberately trying to give the young master."
"Are you going to show off your power? Wang Hua smiled, as if he had some capital.
Ning Changshi was born in the Ning family, the largest wealthy family in Qinzhou. From the Southern Chen Dynasty, the Ning clan of Qinzhou was as famous as the Fanli Lü clan and Gaoliangti clan, and was known in history as the "Baiyue clan." He occupied countless wealthy slaves and dominated the country. Under the fierce management of Ning Mu and his eldest son Ning, he controlled the land thousands of miles east-west and five hundred miles north-south to the end of the Chen Dynasty and early Sui Dynasty. He used the power of a family to almost prevent the Sui Dynasty from counting Guangxi, but it was Linghu Xi, an official of the Sui Dynasty who used comforting techniques to make Ning surrender fiercely.
Qinzhou was named after Emperor Wen of Sui and changed Anzhou to Qinzhou. His grandson Ning Changzhen's brothers became even more fierce. He led his troops to attack Linyi Capital with Huanzhou Governor Li Han. Since then, Linyi has been tributed to the Central Plains. In the hands of Emperor Gaozu of Tang, he appointed Ning Changzhen as the chief supervisor of Qinzhou and commanded 3 prefectures and eight counties including Qinzhou, Nantingzhou, Yushanzhou and other 3 prefectures and eight counties. After Ning Changzhen's death, Li Yuan appointed his son Ning Chun as the governor of Jiangzhou, and Ning Daoming, a clan member, as the governor of Yuezhou. The Ning family's power expanded to the Leizhou Peninsula.
Of course, it also brought many benefits. For example, because of the Ning family, many backward mountainous areas were developed and some advanced cultures could be promoted. For example, the development of some handicrafts has been promoted. There are now some pottery manufacturing, manufacturing and smelting industries in Qinzhou. Although these industries are backward, they have brought some foundations and talents to the Wanghua governance. In addition, the Ning family likes to create towns, and the city walls of this prefecture were built by the Ning family. Otherwise, they would hand them over to the court. Not to mention that this tall city wall may be just a mud wall.
But compared with these advantages, the Ning family Tang Tian's power flame became the biggest obstacle for Wang Hua to govern Qinzhou.
As for how small the Ning family Quanyan has reached, we have to start with Empress Wei.
Li Xian wanted Wei's father Wei Xuanzhen to be the Servant, but was opposed by Pei Yan, but was exiled to Fangzhou by Lao Wu. Wei Xuanzhen was exiled to Qinzhou. Wei Xuanzhen died of depression and illness in Qinzhou. Ning Chengji's direct descendants of Ning Chengji brothers took the opportunity to marry his two daughters. Xuanzhen's wife Cui did not agree, so Ning Chengji killed Cui. Her four sons, Li Xian's four brothers, fled to Rongzhou, but were tracked and killed by Li Chengji, and only two daughters left were lucky enough to escape back to the capital.
Although the Wei family was exiled at that time, they were also relatives of the royal country, the Ning family still killed and seized them, doing whatever they wanted. This shows the power of the Ning family.
Therefore, a small person like Yi Shiyuan can only be a good puppet governor.
But after Yi Shiyuan saw Wang Hua say this, he looked at each other with Zhu Quan, the aide beside him. After laughing, Zhu Quan took out a banner from his arms and asked the yamen runners to hang it at the door of the yamen. The breeze blew, and the flag opened. A small flag had a blood-red Tang character written on it, and there were two small characters next to it: Majestic.
These two small and three fishy red characters are particularly eye-catching under the breeze in the South China Sea.
Yi Shiyuan didn't know that after this flag was hung out, the first major event that Wang Hua went to Qinzhou was about to begin.
He didn't know what would happen. But he vaguely noticed something from Wang Hua's eyes, which made him very worried.
But Wang Hua looked through the huge official documents that Yi Shiyuan handed over. After a while, he found a file and Wang Hua opened it.
Yi Shiyuan saw Wang Hua look through the file and his face changed even more, thinking that this time he would not be able to do anything.
Sure enough, Wang Hua asked his two subordinates to go out and bring the family of Zhang Cui and the family of tenant Liu Dazhuang to the group.
As for the eight yamen runners in Qinzhou, I don’t believe it at all.
Both families were in Qinzhou City and brought them here in a short while.
But at this time, the yamen runner came in and reported: "The king, the big thing is not good."
Wang Hua had already heard the shouts outside. He didn't ask a question. He walked out and saw a dark middle-aged man carrying more than a dozen Ding Xiaoshu holding weapons.
Seeing Wang Hua come out, the big man squinted his eyes and asked contemptuously: "Are you the newly appointed governor Wang?"
Wang Hua was not angry either, and clasped his fists and said, "That's it."
"Then do you understand the rules?
"What rules? Also, please ask your name and name
"I am Ning Changshi. Why do you want to revise this case? Do you want to be an enemy of my Ning family? In Qinzhou, heaven is the heaven of the Ning family, and earth is the land of the Ning family. This is the rule.
After saying that, he asked his servant to pull the flag off and stepped on it with his feet.
Wang Hua still smiled and told him to finish the trampling of the little one, "I don't understand the rules of the Ning family. The rules I know are all under the world. Is it the king's land? The shore of the land? Is it the king's minister? I am your boss. As a subordinate, you have committed the crime of disrespect. Now you know that there is a national name on the flag, but you are still trampling on it like this. Then I let you understand what rules are!"
Chapter completed!
