Chapter 80 Puzzle Completed
After the main content was finished, Zhu Yuan briefly answered some questions, and gave everyone at the scene three days of planning and joint time before announcing the adjournment of the meeting.

As for other details, such as the specific terms of the new city ship decree, such as the maritime trade company, the establishment of a board of directors, the establishment of a management team, the unification of the financial system, etc., etc., have been given in the two drafts of the city ship decree and by myself. In the plan of the maritime trade company.

Too busy, Zhu Yuan didn't have time to organize another class, so he could only let everyone figure it out by themselves.

Back at his office on the west side of Mingyuan Hall, behind Zhu Yuan was the salt merchant Fu Shou who had just attended the meeting.After coming to the desk and sitting down, Zhu Yuan didn't speak for a moment. He opened a sea-going ship assessment report completed by Yao Feng and others in the past few days, and looked down at it.

My mind is sorting out quickly.

After finishing the part of maritime business, the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle in Zhu Yuan's recent plan to make various advance preparations for grain transportation by sea is also considered complete.

Next, is execution.

Just like this evaluation report, Zhu Yuan probably already knows the data.

Wu Zhen brought more than 500 materials in the ship, and the theoretical total capacity of the ship is 26 shi. According to Yao Feng’s assessment, only about 15 shi can set sail in a short period of time. Others need to be repaired more or less. Some ships are already on the verge of being scrapped and not worth repairing.

However, the 15 shi, including the first batch brought from Jinling, the ten ships sent by Lao Zhu for the second time, and the newly built and part of the shipping capacity that will be provided by the sea merchants, make up the first batch of 20 shi grains There are more than enough ships needed.

Zhu Yuan also discussed with Hua Gao and Wu Zhen in the early morning.

Some of the ships in the best condition can go to the warehouses along the coast of eastern Zhejiang to load grain in these two days. All 20 stones are loaded, and the longest is expected to only take half a month to complete.

Probably around the tenth day of March.

It was exactly one month since I arrived in Mingzhou.

After the food is loaded, other peripheral facilities will be followed up simultaneously. At that time, once the weather is suitable, the fleet can set off at any time.As long as there are no major accidents, depending on the conditions of the current and wind direction, the shortest time is less than ten days, and the longest time is more than a month, you can reach Shandong.

After thinking about it like this, Zhu Yuan's eyes refocused, and then he remembered Fu Shou whom he had called, looked up and said, "I will go out of the city later, to make a long story short, old Fu, do you believe in fate?"

Fu Shou's posture was as humble as ever, he bowed slightly and said without hesitation: "My lord, I believe you little ones."

"Since you believe in fate, you should understand that everyone has a certain number of blessings in their lives. If you spend too much, or grab blessings that don't belong to you through unorthodox means, even if you barely escape in this life, you should have a backlash , it will also be applied to the descendants," Zhu Yuan said, looking at Fu Shou again, and said, "Don't be respectful on the surface but not believe it in your heart. I have seen with my own eyes that a big family has enjoyed the glory for hundreds of years. Change, the descendants are slaughtered like wheat, and finally a vast expanse of whiteness and cleanliness."

It is impossible for Fu Shou to understand the last words, but he just knelt down and kowtowed: "My lord, the little one understands what the lord is talking about, and I swear that I will never dare to go beyond the rules just by relying on the support of Dudu Hua. There is a violation, but it is up to the adults to deal with it."

Zhu Yuan nodded slightly: "In this case, I will give you a license, in addition to Mr. Hua's one, and the other [-]% of the shares I just mentioned at the meeting. For others, you'd better find someone to cooperate with, after all. In the past, I was a salt seller and didn’t know much about maritime affairs. There are many ways to do things at sea, don’t listen to my words on paper. Whenever I think about sending tens of thousands of people to sea to transport grain, I feel trembling in my heart.”

Fu Shou kowtowed again: "I would like to listen to my lord's instruction."

Zhu Yuan said again: "I have already told Master Hua in the morning, I will bring this matter up to my ancestors. If my ancestors have no objections, from now on, you will actually be considered to be in the eyes of my ancestors, and do things well in a peaceful manner. Perhaps there will be even greater luck, but on the contrary, you should also understand that the first unlucky person must be you."

His Majesty the Emperor? !
Fu Shou didn't expect that there would be another section, to be able to climb Huagao. He felt that Fu's family had burnt high incense for several lifetimes. At that moment, his slightly fat body trembled. Adults, the little ones will definitely live up to the expectations of the adults, and... the expectations."

Zhu Yuan waved his hand: "In this case, let's do something."

Fu Shou still didn't get up, raised his head slightly and said, "My lord, I feel that I should have a share of this... Haimao Company's shares?"

Zhu Yuan shook his head and said with a smile, "I'll forget it. I'm the referee, so it's not appropriate to end the game myself."

Fu Shou pondered over the word 'referee', and it was generally clear. He didn't dare to say more after thinking about it. He stood up, bowed to Zhu Yuan again, and then stepped back out the door.

When Fu Shou left, Zhu Yuan was about to call Zhao Xu to prepare the sedan chair and go out of the city to see the lighthouse model built in a hurry in the past few days. Zhao Xu had already appeared at the door and said, "My lord, Changzhou Shenmao please see me."

Zhu Yuan was taken aback.

again……

Or 'Shen Wansan'.

Why do I seem to be entangled with myself recently, do I look like a cornucopia?
After thinking for a while, Zhu Yuan simply said: "Let him come in. Besides, prepare the sedan chair, we will leave the city later."

Zhao Xu agreed, while letting Shen Mao in.

Zhu Yuan continued to read the evaluation report, and waited for Shen Mao to see him before raising his head. Thinking of Shen Mao's statement at the meeting before, he showed a little smile, and asked, "You always want to see me, what's the matter?"

During the meeting just now, Zhu Yuan didn't make trouble, and Shen Mao felt that he had passed another big hurdle.

Even after witnessing all kinds of words and deeds of this young envoy, Shen Mao faintly felt that maybe he really had to worry too much before.

But he didn't dare to gamble.

Since he brought a letter written by Wu Liang himself, think about it and use this favor.

Hearing Zhu Yuan's words right now, Shen Mao responded with feigned panic, while taking out the letter in his bosom and respectfully sent it: "I have nothing to do, I just want to meet the lord and express my heart. This... lord, this time It is a letter written by General Wu Liang, Commander of the Suzhou Guard, to Your Excellency."

Wu Liang?

Zhu Yuan curiously took it, opened it, read it quickly, and finally understood why Shen Mao kept seeing him.

It was still those three ships that made the noise.

Some arrangements at the beginning probably made the Shen family feel that he planned to take the opportunity to take advantage of the big family. After all, even if the old Zhu Peidao was not mentioned, Zhu Yuan’s series of genuine third-ranks actually possessed quite a lot of power, and the Shen family came from Zhang Shicheng’s old land. If you want to make trouble, it's really a matter of one sentence.

After reading the letter, Zhu Yuan looked up at Shen Mao, somewhat curious, and asked with a smile: "Speaking of which, how much money does your Shen family have?"

This……

Shen Mao was suddenly embarrassed, he really hadn't calculated it carefully, after all the main power in the Shen family was his elder brother Shen Rong.

Moreover, even if you know it, you dare not say it!
Zhu Yuan also quickly waved his hand: "Forget it, lest I really have to be greedy for money. But, um, I recently felt that the area of ​​the two-mile radius of Dinghai County is really small. If we want to expand the city wall with a circumference of 8 miles to 16 Here, can your Shen family contract it?

Is this the condition?

This thought just flashed through Shen Rong's mind, but was interrupted by Zhu Yuan again: "Oh, forget it, I'll give you a reminder, the Shen family can donate anything, don't even think about donating to build the city wall, there will be a catastrophe .”

Shen Rong was at a loss.

However, inexplicably, he subconsciously kept Zhu Yuan's words firmly in his heart.

Zhu Yuan picked up Wu Liang's letter again, stopped joking, and said, "Don't be suspicious, I'm going to take your Shen family to the knife, why wait until now? I'll send people to Suzhou the same day I stop those three ships. So, do your business with peace of mind and don't think about it all day long."

Shen Rong understood it this time, and he could feel that this little adult was not pretending to be false, he really meant it.

However, Shen Rong didn't feel at all that he was just thinking about it.

As the saying goes, "Miemen assassination, breaking family county magistrate", this little adult who came to the place with a bunch of terrifying titles and brought the emperor's sword, has much more weight than the assassination county magistrate, really for their Shen family If you think about it, it will definitely be a catastrophe.

This kind of thing, not to mention the long-term, Shen Mao has seen a large number of them with his own eyes last year.

How can you be careless and cautious!

At that moment, with Zhu Yuan's words, Shen Rong's heart that had been suspended for half a month finally fell to the ground, and instantly felt that his whole body had lost all strength, and he managed to hold on so that he did not collapse in the little adult's room in front of him.

After a while, Shen Rong came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and bowed again: "Mr. Chen thank you for your generosity."

Zhu Yuan had already aimed at Wu Liang's letter again, and said, "Get up, I still have something to go out of town, so I won't entertain you."

Shen Rong got up and cupped his hands again: "My lord, the Shen family has prepared some small gifts..."

Zhu Yuan looked up and saw Zhao Xu appeared at the door, knowing that the sedan chair was ready, he interrupted Shen Mao and said, "Since it's a small gift, I don't like it, so don't give it away."

Shen Rong: "..."

Zhu Yuan found a fire and lit a candle, put the letter and its cover on the fire, lit it and threw it into the pen wash next to it as a decoration.Seeing that Shen Rong was puzzled again, he didn't explain it to him.

These people... can really cheat Wu Liang.

The question is, should someone still take the initiative to jump into the pit.

As for this letter, Wu Liang acted as a guarantor for the Shen family, and he used his identity as the commander of the Suzhou Guard instead of a personal friendship. If he hadn't met Zhu Yuan, it would have been a big deal.

As a general, it is taboo to interfere in local political affairs at will.

If someone with a heart put this matter on Lao Zhu's side, even if Lao Zhu didn't know how to deal with his subordinate who has made great achievements, he would inevitably keep it in mind.

However, all Zhu Yuan can do is pretend that this incident never happened.

other……

Wu Liang's performance this time is exactly the same as Hua Gao's personality that Hua Gao said to him before. Therefore, if there is one and two, there must be three and four. It's also hard to make too long.

When the letter and the envelope were all burned to ashes, Zhu Yuan picked up the evaluation report, intending to continue reading it on the way, while aiming at Shen Mao: "Why, do you want me to give you some small gifts before you are willing to leave?"

Shen Mao felt that there was something wrong with Zhu Yuan's action of burning the letter, and he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he hurriedly cupped his hands: "Little man... leave."

Zhu Yuan just nodded, rolled up the stack of documents, and went out first, rubbed the head of a girl with a sack waiting outside the sedan chair as usual, got into the sedan chair, and walked away.

Shen Mao followed him out, and when the sedan chair left, he felt as if he had passed away for a moment.

However, now is not the time to sigh with emotion, since the Shen family has passed this hurdle, they should think about it later.

It happened that the salt merchant surnamed Fu was talking to someone outside the east chamber, Shen Mao knew the other party's details, so he changed his mind and walked over.When he came close, he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Fu, I'm being polite."

Fu Shou had talked with the clerk, and seeing Shen Mao approaching, well-informed, he also knew about some recent events, felt the relaxed appearance of the other party, roughly guessed something, and cupped his hands with a smile: "Shen Mao Brother, you can call him Anchang in the following table."

Since the lord didn't intend to do anything to the Shen family, it just happened to tell him to look for a partner. Fu Shou knew the background of the Shen family in Changzhou, so it was just right.
