Poor Family Laity

  Chapter 380, after the name

  After the governor of the South China Sea Navy placed his bet on entering Beijing, the most discussed issue in the capital was the matter of Zhao'an in the South China Sea.

  Everyone thought that this was a difficult task, but what they didn't expect was that the official in charge returned to Beijing with joy after leaving Beijing for only two months.

   Just as each family was showing their talents and wanted to find out the result of Zhao'an, Shi Fuxin had already learned about the whole process of Zhao'an through Master Xiang's flying pigeon letter.

  "Haixinghang, Dongchanghui, Guangli warehouse"

   This time in Zhaoan, other forces in the South China Sea cooperated surprisingly, and did not choose to be hostile to the imperial court.

  Shi Fuxin originally thought that Baicaotang would occupy the three large islands and would become the focus of the court's attention, but she didn't expect that the South China Sea was really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and three businesses that were more eye-catching than Baicaotang appeared all at once.

  Haixinghang and Dongchanghui are both engaged in maritime trade. Haixinghang also builds ships, but in order not to attract the attention of the court, they receive relatively few orders.

  Guangli Cang is mainly engaged in the seed business in Dachu, and is engaged in the grain trading business abroad. Most of the high-yielding grains in China come from his family.

  The reason why these three companies have not been paid attention to by the imperial court is because most of their business is exported overseas.

  As for Baicaotang, the medicinal materials of the three big islands sound like a lot, but because of the short time of taking over, they are really little brothers in front of Haixinghang, Dongchanghui, and Guangli Cang, which have been in business for many years.

   "I don't know who are the leaders of these three companies?"

  When Shi Fuxin was thinking about this, Chu Yao came back from the outside.

   "What do you think?"

  Shi Fuxin came back to her senses, turned her head to look at Chu Yao, and said with a smile, "I came back quite early today. I heard that the officials in charge of Zhaoan in the South China Sea have returned. I don't know what the result will be?"

  Chu Yao looked at her: "You are quite concerned about this matter."

  Shi Fuxin's smile didn't fade: "It's always right to know more about the outside world."

  Chu Yao took a sip of tea: "Zhao'an is going well, it's a bit difficult to get rid of the real pirates, and the other island owners are businessmen, and they have no intention of going against the court."

  Shi Fuxin showed surprise: "They are all businessmen? Then what are they doing?"

  Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin's face full of interest: "Most of them are engaged in maritime trade."

  Shi Fuxin expressed emotion: "That must be very profitable." She said, looking at Chu Yao, "It must be a big business to engage in maritime trade business, but the imperial court doesn't know anything about it. It's really a little bit." Shaking her head.

Chu Yao glanced at her: "The imperial court is not ignorant, these businessmen also filed records in the local government, but the maritime trade is not easy for the imperial court to control, and those people deliberately avoid the imperial court's supervision, which makes them free So many years."

   After a pause, Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin's expression: "In the future, good things like darkness under the lights will not happen, and the imperial court will strictly supervise their transactions."

  Shi Fuxin's face remained unchanged: "That's good, the court can collect more tax money again."

  Chu Yao couldn't see anything unusual about Shi Fuxin, so he lowered his head and drank tea again.

  The forces in Zhao'an this time, there are only a few who can get into the eyes of the court.

  Haixinghang, Dongchanghui, Guangli warehouse, and Baicaotang.

  Hai Xingxing, shipbuilding, and shipping trade, has attracted the most attention from the emperor; followed by Guangli warehouse, food is the most important thing for the people, Guangli warehouse can collect and improve high-yielding grain, which is related to people's livelihood.

  Dongchanghui has dozens of sea-going ships, the largest scale, and I don’t know how much wealth it has accumulated.

  Compared with the wealth of the first three companies, Baicaotang is the most inconspicuous, but it can operate in the medicinal material industry.

   To be honest, when I learned about the situation of these four families, let alone the emperor, even he was shocked.

  If these four join forces, they can definitely form a very powerful rebel army.

  Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin's expression, and suddenly asked: "Who do you think are behind those forces in the South China Sea?"

  Shi Fuxin thought for a while and said, "Didn't you say that those island owners are businessmen? Businessmen only want to make money, so they don't pose any threat to the imperial court."

  Chu Yao was noncommittal: "This time in Zhao'an, I found a merchant engaged in medicinal materials."

  Shi Fuxin: "Really?"

  Chu Yao: "You know medical skills. Tell me about the medicinal materials grown on all three islands. Where can these medicinal materials be sold without alarming the court?"

  Shi Fuxin looked at Chu Yao, thinking in his heart whether he simply wanted to understand the situation, or he knew what was testing her.

   "Aren't those forces in the South China Sea engaged in maritime trade? Sell it overseas."

  Chu Yao withdrew his gaze, and didn't ask any more questions: "Those forces in the South China Sea were able to avoid the supervision of the imperial court in the past, but if they fail in the future, it depends on the emperor's intentions. They should intend to invite the person in charge to come to Beijing for a meeting."

  Shi Fuxin frowned invisibly, thought for a while and said, "This is only to see the person in charge on the bright side. The real person in charge probably won't show up."

  Chu Yao laughed: "The emperor must see the real helmsman."

  Shi Fuxin: "The emperor can still judge whether the person who comes is really at the helm?"

  Chu Yao did not respond to these words, but said: "I will know when the time comes."

  At this time, Princess Guan came over to call Chu Yao, and Shi Fuxin frowned as she watched Chu Yao leave.

  The emperor really wants to summon the person in charge, Mr. Xiang, but he has to go to Beijing.

  Chu Yao has met Master Xiang.

  Shi Fuxin rubbed her forehead with a headache, thinking that this matter could be postponed for a while.

   That's all, Chu Yao knew it when he knew it. It is not unreasonable for her to have three islands in the South China Sea. Now that they are husband and wife, he will never bring it out and talk about it.

  However, plans cannot keep up with changes.

The emperor wanted to summon merchants from the South China Sea, but not only Haixinghang, Dongchanghui, Guangli Cang, and Baicaotang, but also merchants from other places in Dachu, and personally selected the new top ten emperors. business out.

  If it’s just like this, it’s okay, just send the person in charge of the apparent management to attend, but the emperor also gave a sweet treat that no one at the helm could refuse.

  The newly elected heads of the top ten imperial merchants can leave their names on the Great Chu Merit Monument!

  The Great Chu Merit Monument stands on the east side of the palace gate, where officials and common people can pay their respects.

  In the later period of Taizu, Taizu specially invited people to build this merit monument in order to commend those civil servants and generals who had made great contributions to the Great Chu.

   On the monument of merit and virtue, the names on the top are Taizu and Empress Wende.

  After the monument of merit and virtue was completed, all the people in Dachu were proud to leave their names on the monument.

  Since the founding of the Great Chu State, it has been passed down for six generations, but there are not many names on the merit tablet, which shows that it is difficult to keep a name.

  Once this condition comes out, which leader is willing to let others replace him?

  After Shi Fuxin knew about it, she also admired the emperor for coming up with such an idea. Now, those who want to hide behind the scenes are probably in a dilemma.

   After the name, who doesn't want it.

  Even Shi Fuxin herself felt that it would be a good thing to come to this world and leave her traces.
