My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 221
"What do you think, son?"

Seeing Zhu Zhanhe looking at her in a daze, Chang Sining waved her hand in front of Zhu Zhanhe and asked, although shy.

"Ah? It's nothing. I'm thinking about shipping."

Only then did Zhu Zhanhe wake up, and then he found an excuse and said.

He didn't intend to tell Chang Sining about Zhu Wenkui. Although Zhu Wenkui said that he was crazy about returning to the country because he saw Chang Sining, in his opinion, Chang Sining was just an introduction, and the real reason was Zhu Wenkui himself. ambition.

Since Zhu Wenkui was arrested, the Jianwen remnants lurking in the capital have been wiped out, and with his arrest, Jianwen remnants no longer have any important figures. Although Zhu Yunqi has not been found, he has given up on restoring the country. In fact, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Zhanhe finally started to take over the restart of shipping. This is what he and Zhu Di had agreed on a long time ago. If it weren't for Zhu Wenkui, it would have started after the sacrifice to Xiaoling.

"My lord, why did you suddenly restart shipping?"

Chang Sining asked curiously.

Today when Zhu Zhanhe found her, it was actually related to shipping, because the original shipping was presided over by the Marquis of Navigation. Zhang He, the first generation of Marquis of Navigation, opened up the waterway to Liaodong. Later, the shipping was managed by his son, who is also Chang Sining's uncle. Zhang Rong took over.

"You know more about sailing to the west than I do. In my opinion, the future of our Ming Dynasty lies in the sea, and shipping must not be lost. It's just that I have no experience in shipping, so I want to ask you, can Hang Haihou be used? "

Only then did Zhu Zhanhe explain his purpose of coming to Chang Sining.

Zhu Zhanhe didn't like Zhang Rong, but he used to be in charge of shipping, so he should be very experienced in shipping. Zhu Zhanhe wanted to use him, but he was hesitant, so he wanted to hear Chang Sining's opinion.

Hearing Zhu Zhanhe asked about his uncle, Chang Sining was silent for a moment, and then he said: "Although my uncle is not good to us, at least my aunt is allowed to take us in when we are most helpless. We, so although I don't like him, I am also very grateful to him."

"So you agree with me using him?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked when he heard this.

"No! If you want to restart shipping, son, you must not use my uncle!"

Unexpectedly, Chang Sining shook his head firmly and said.

"Why?"

Zhu Zhanhe was very surprised, just now he heard Chang Sining say that, he thought she was going to speak for Hang Haihou?

"As a junior, I shouldn't speak ill of my elders, but my uncle is not good enough, and he is greedy. When he was in charge of shipping, he took bribes a lot. It can be said that the abolition of shipping was also related to He has a lot to do with it!"

Chang Sining exposed Zhang Rongdao mercilessly.

"It turned out to be so!"

Zhu Zhanhe was also very surprised when he heard the words, he believed that Chang Sining would definitely not lie to him, after all, this was a family scandal, if it wasn't for Zhu Zhanhe's misuse of the villain, she might not be willing to say it.

"Okay, I understand, then I'll look for others. After all, there are still many people who participated in shipping back then. There must be someone who is more familiar with shipping."

Zhu Zhanhe nodded.

After bidding farewell to Chang Sining, Zhu Zhanhe turned around and came to Beizhen Fusi, and asked for personnel information related to shipping.

Although things like shipping by sea must have been recorded in the Five Armies Governor's Mansion or the Ministry of Officials, but it is definitely not as detailed as Jin Yiwei's side.

Zhu Zhanhe found Zhang Rong's information, and he found that Jin Yiwei recorded that Zhang Rong was corrupt and perverted the law when he was in charge of shipping. by sea.

If it weren't for Zhang Rong's father's meritorious service to the country, Zhu Di would have brought him down for questioning, so the Marquis of Navigation's decline in the past few years is actually entirely due to Zhang Rong's own fault.

"What an unfilial son, Zhang He worked so hard to get through the waterway, but in the end they were all defeated by you, an unfilial son!"

After reading Zhang Rong's information, Zhu Zhanhe thumped the table angrily and said angrily.

However, in anger, Zhu Di didn't punish Zhang Rong, and he couldn't say anything, not to mention that the other party was Chang Sining's uncle. Just like Chang Sining said, although Zhang Rong was not good to their brothers and sisters, at least he accepted them. Grace.

After that, Zhu Zhanhe looked through the materials related to shipping, and soon found a key person.

"Zhang Fu, Zhang Rong's cousin, the current commander of Zhenhai Guard!"

Zhu Zhanhe looked at the shipping information and said to himself.

According to records, this Zhang Fu is the son of Zhang He's brother. Both of his parents died when he was a child.

After Zhang He's death, Zhang Rong took over shipping, but he was a dude who didn't understand shipping at all. Therefore, at the very beginning, Zhang Fei helped Zhang Rong take care of shipping. At that time, shipping was also in good order and there had never been any mistakes.

It was not until later that Zhang Rong saw the huge benefits of shipping, so he began to intervene indiscriminately, which led to a deficit in shipping.

During the period, Zhang Fu persuaded Zhang Rong, and even the two quarreled many times because of disagreements, but they couldn't change the situation of shipping. After all, Zhang Rong was his cousin, and he was a genuine navigator. Zhang Fu couldn't compete with Zhang Rong at all. .

Finally, the sea transportation stopped, and Zhang Fu was transferred to the commander of Zhenhaiwei. Zhenhaiwei was in Taicang, Suzhou, which was also the starting point of sea transportation. In the past, the grain and grass materials transported by sea had to be transported to Suzhou by land and water.

It is also worth mentioning that Taicang is also the starting point for voyages to the West. Zheng He's fleet usually gathers in Taicang and will officially set sail after repairs and supplies.

There is detailed information about Zhang Fu in Jinyiwei. After reading it carefully, Zhu Zhanhe feels that this person is indeed a talent. He can become the commander of a guard because of his merits. Little credit.

"I just want to go to Suzhou, and I can meet Zhang Fu then!"

Zhu Zhanhe said to himself.

Shipping will be restarted. Suzhou is the starting point of shipping. Zhu Zhanhe must go there in person. The ships and personnel that were shipped in the past also need to be inspected in person.

After leaving Beizhen Fusi, Zhu Zhanhe returned to the palace, but before he could sit down, Chang Sining sent someone to deliver a letter.

Zhu Zhanhe opened the letter, it turned out that after Chang Sining went back, he asked her aunt Mrs. Chang again, but Mrs. Chang's reaction was the same as hers, she was very opposed to Zhu Zhanhe's use of Zhang Rong, insisting that using Zhang Rong would definitely cause bad things.

Moreover, Chang Sining also said in the letter that Mrs. Chang recommended a person to Zhu Zhanhe, that is, Zhang Rong's cousin Zhang Fu, saying that this person is extremely talented and familiar with shipping, and he will definitely help Zhu Zhan He's busy.

"It's a coincidence. It seems that my vision is not bad. This Zhang Fu should not disappoint me."

Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help laughing after reading the letter, Mrs. Chang did not recommend her husband, but Zhang Fu, so it can be seen that this Zhang Fu is indeed a very outstanding talent.
