Chapter fifty-eight through the south of the Yangtze River IV
Zhu Ruisheng's course is indeed not profound. The first thing is that these 460 people are divided into four groups. Nanzhili, Zhejiang Province and Sichuan Province each allocated a group, and each county was assigned a purchaser, mainly contacting small weaving workshops and machine owners at the county level, and a purchasing staff assigned to the prefectures and prefectures, mainly collecting goods on the market and medium weaving workshops.
The second thing is that the purchase price of silk is four taels of silver per piece. The medium weaving workshop takes the form of advance payment and pays half of the cash silver first. The small weaving workshop and machine owners directly purchase it in full, and the local Jinyiwei Qianhu will assist.
The third thing is to establish supplier files, mark the number of mulberry gardens, looms, personnel and daily output of each household and weaving workshop, and sign a long-term cooperation agreement. Any customers who sell goods to Jinyiwei will be exempted from taxes and will be protected by Jinyiwei.
The fourth thing is, during the procurement process, we should learn more about the news about the local landlords, government officials and military forces, and record them in detail, and then make them into archives and submit them. In addition, we should also understand the tea production situation in the three regions, contact local tea farmers and tea merchants, and wait for the next step of instructions.
The fifth thing is that the fourth group of people went to the origin of the porcelain to carefully understand the production of porcelain, actively contacted the porcelain kilns to prepare for procurement, and discovered potential porcelain kilns, and included them as long-term cooperative customers of Jinyiwei.
The Jinyiwei Commander's Office has printed a cooperation agreement for full-time production and suppliers of Jinyiwei, and the commander's seal is covered with a column of the name, but the name column is blank and has an anti-counterfeiting number. It must be completely compared with the customer's file. If you print and imitate privately, you will have to be beheaded. The Commander's Office will send someone to conduct secret verification. If you are sorry, the purchasing agent will lose his head.
The first day was a special lecture, explaining the specific requirements for this procurement, the second day was to be grouped, and all evacuated on the third day. When they arrived in Jinling on the 18th, the Grand Commander Guard arrived with silver and silver, and then collected part of it. If it was not enough, the Jinyiwei would send someone to follow them to deliver the purchase money to the destination.
The purchasing staff is placed in the Anyuanyi Shibu Shipin Department of Ningcheng City, and is also the Jinyiwei. The monthly salary is five taels of silver and one stone of rice. Food and accommodation can be reimbursed during business trips, and it can be paid in advance and then deducted from the reimbursement expenses.
The silk received was first stored in the local area, and the Jinyiwei was responsible for the supervision. After receiving the instructions, it was sent to Ningbo City.
On the morning of the 16th, Zhu Ruisheng was on a passenger ship along Suxichang to Zhenjiang, then entered the Qinhuai River from the Yangtze River, and got off at the pier near Confucius Temple. Ge Zhongwen, a Qianhu of the Qianhu Office of Jinling, led dozens of Jinyiwei lieutenants who were disguised as a decoration, had been waiting here for a long time.
"Grandmaster, my subordinates have arranged a secret residence for you, not far from the Qinhuai River, and you can see the scenery of the Qinhuai River at night." Ge Zhongwen said with a smile.
"Let's go, first go to the Duke of Wei's Mansion to visit Xu Maojie. The Xu family has guarded Jinling City for generations. It's a local snake, so there is no need to hide his identity from him." Zhu Ruisheng said.
The military power of Jinling City is divided into three parts. The Governor's Office of the Five Army is a commanding body for leading troops to fight and train wars. Among them, the Governor's Office of the Central Army controls other Governor's Office.
The garrison of Jinling City was Fang Qiulin, an eunuch from the Silijian. He represented the imperial palace to control the government and army in Jinling City. He had the most power. Another was the counselor of the mechanical affairs, and was served by the Minister of War of Jinling. The army had to negotiate with three people when faced with major matters.
The Xu family followed Emperor Taizu to fight and made outstanding contributions to the establishment of the Tianming Dynasty. In addition, they were relatives of the royal family and were trusted by the old Zhu family. They were ordered to guard Jinling, and controlled more than 200,000 officers and soldiers near Jinling. They were also the leader of the most loyal nobles to the Tianming Dynasty.
Zhu Ruisheng said it was a visit because he was related and everyone was not an outsider.
The Duke of Wei State in Jinling.
"You bastard, you don't read military tactics at home, practice riding horses and archery, and don't know how to read and write. You spend all day with a group of friends and friends, and mingle with those lowly brothel women. How can you inherit the title of Duke and protect the Jiangnan land for the Tianming Dynasty?"
"This time the emperor sent His Highness, King of Song, to inspect Jiangnan. There are two other inspectors who followed him. I still don't know how to restrain myself at this time. If I am impeached by the censor, the Xu family will be completely depressed. Are you a pig's brain?" Xu Maojie was scolding his son Xu Wenyuan.
Since the Tianming Dynasty moved the capital, there has been no such thing as a prince inspecting Jiangnan. This time, the Song King Zhu Ruisheng came to Jiangnan as the chief governor of the Jinyiwei, which also surprised him. First, the prince was able to be the chief governor of the Jinyiwei, and then came to Jiangnan for inspection. Emperor Shenglong's thoughts were really hard to figure out.
At this time, he felt that he should deal with it carefully and not leave the royal family with the impression of being domineering and domineering!
But his son is not good at doing well and causes trouble with a group of friends all day long. Fighting and causing trouble has become commonplace.
"Dad, how many officials of Jinling City are less than a few of them who are visiting brothels in Qinhuai River? We are called martial artists by the children of saints. What about them? The two honorable Jinshis, who even openly disobey the imperial ban. There are many people who sleep in the flowers and willows. What should I worry about?"
"His Royal Highness Song is even more powerful than me. He dares to snatch the wise wife into the palace in the capital. He has a much more famous reputation than me. If he comes to Jinling, we will definitely become good friends." Xu Wenyuan was scolded every day, and he would not take it seriously after scolding him.
Xu Maojie was almost angry when he heard his son's words. After all, Xu Wenyuan was also a dignified future duke. He was not ashamed of the behavior of visiting brothels but proud of it. What kind of evil he had committed in his previous life? Why did he raise such a disaster!
"Master, Ge Zhongwen from Qianhu Institute is asking for a meeting!" The servant came to report.
"What are the Jinyiwei coming to the Duke's Mansion for? Let him come in!" Xu Maojie thought for a while and said.
As Duke of Wei, he really doesn't like the Jinyiwei. Not to mention a small Qianhu, even the Jinyiwei commander Luo Ming had to take the initiative to salute him when he saw him!
After a while, Ge Zhongwen quickly walked to the living room and bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, Prince Song, Commander Luo, Lord Luo of the Northern Fushi Department, and two inspectors, have arrived at the back door of the royal palace. Please welcome him quickly."
What? His Highness, King of Song, actually came to the Duke of Wei’s Mansion?
Xu Maojie was shocked. This was a sudden attack!
But when he thought about it, his mood suddenly calmed down a lot. His Highness Song must have arrived in Jinling in advance, so he didn't get any news. It seemed that the other party was visiting privately and came in through the back door to beware of exposing his whereabouts.
Xu Maojie naturally did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly took Xu Wenyuan to the back door of the palace and welcomed Zhu Ruisheng and his party to the living room of the main hall to sit down.
"I am the governor of the Governor's Office of the Jinling Army, Xu Maojie, Duke of Wei, and his eldest son Xu Wenyuan, kowtowed to His Highness the King of Song!" Xu Maojie and Xu Wenyuan hurriedly knelt on the ground.
It is said that he doesn't have to perform such a great courtesy and bow. However, this time when Song King Zhu Ruisheng came to Jiangnan, he might have the intention of Emperor Shenglong, so it would not be an exaggeration to be cautious.
"Duke Wei asked you to raise me. Your Xu family is a relative of the Zhu family and is also the pillar of the Tianming Dynasty in Jiangnan. You don't have to be polite to see me!" Zhu Ruisheng stood up and helped Xu Maojie up.
