"I have to send someone to Jiangnan." Chang Wei thought, "If the position is high, it is easy to be valued by the great merchants and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. There are not Fujian there. Most of the maritime merchants are serious people, and the people who run the sea are all gentry behind them, so they can't be offended easily."

The power of the gentry in Jiangnan was enough to shake the court and shock the world. Zhang Han had long said this to Chang Wei and others repeatedly. In addition, he had many contacts with Jiangnan sea merchants, Chang Wei and others were not ignorant of the situation in Jiangnan.

Speaking of which, the gentry in Jiangnan was not only rich and powerful, but also had a connection of voices. Because the fragrance of books was passed down from generation to generation, there were juren, scholars, or Jinshi, and there were a large net in the officialdom.

Even if the Jiangnan family was not necessarily from Donglin, in the court, the Jiangnan family always had some incense. It would be fine if other things were involved in the interests of the Jiangnan family, they would probably put aside the party struggles and stand on the same standpoint.

Just like Emperor Shenzong sent a mining tax supervisor to the world to search, it went smoothly elsewhere, but there was a wave of tens of thousands of people breaking out in many places in Jiangnan, and there was something like the tax invaders who were beaten to death.

Afterwards, a few people were thrown out to pay for their lives, but the aristocratic families who were working hard behind them had nothing to do, and the emperor had no place to reason with others.

Although the imperial court had many soldiers, could it kill all the gentry and wealthy families in Jiangnan?

Jiangnan is the top priority of national finances and imperial examinations. If Jiangnan is destroyed, the foundation of the world will be half removed.

Even if you are as strong as Hutchison, you cannot provoke the gentry of Jiangnan before the time comes. If you provoke them, you will stumble on your head. Even if it is not fatal, it will be a lot of trouble.

Li Pingzhi smiled bitterly and spread his hands and said, "In the Jiangnan area, I received someone's insurance money. After going out to sea, I told them that it was inconvenient for me to go out to sea again. The insurance money can be refunded, but I cannot continue to ensure safety... I remember that the people sent back at that time said that the insured people were so angry."

Chang Wei also smiled bitterly. Of course, no wonder the people in Jiangnan are ruthless. People buy ships to stock up on stocking are not for the insurance money, but for the extra safety guarantee of Hutchison Neng’s mother. In history, as long as merchant ships who travel to the sea can come back safely, making money is a certain thing, just making more money. But in proportion, at least one of the three sea boats will not be able to come back. This ratio may be a bit exaggerated and inaccurate, but the probability of shipwreck is indeed too high.

If not, with the social atmosphere after the opening of the sea in Longwan, some gentry families in Jiangnan would go out to trade overseas. But in fact, there are many businesses related to sea trade, such as destroying fields, planting mulberry trees and raising silkworms everywhere, for the sake of valuable raw silk. Raw silk is sold in the world. There have never been a time when prices have risen and no price drops. With such a good deal, who will still continue to dig food in the soil?

In order to make more money, the people of Jiangnan don’t even plant land. The so-called grain in the land of fish and rice has long been unable to be self-sufficient. They transport grain from Huguang. People in Jiangnan grow mulberry trees and silkworms, grow cotton and weave cloth. The most profitable silk and cotton cloth business is in their hands. If the sea trade is not risky and can make a big profit, who would keep this good business out?

Because the risks are not small, not all the gentry in Jiangnan are willing to buy sea ships for stocking. At most, they invest less money to stand behind the sea to support those who run to the sea.

"Qian Muzhai..." Zhang Xuwen said: "It's a pity that I really don't have time, otherwise I should have gone there."

Qian Qianyi was the first among the great gentry in Jiangnan who bought insurance. If nothing unexpected happens, Qian Qianyi's status should lead a large number of people.

The vice president of the Shenzong's record was equivalent to buying a direct ticket to enter the cabinet. As long as the record was repaired, the court could directly enter the cabinet by rewarding the merits. At least, the young master, who is the Minister of Rites, was also a foregone conclusion.

Unfortunately, Donglin and the eunuch party failed, and Qian Qianyi's Golden Avenue turned into a road and went dark. He was the rising star of Donglin. Many bigwigs were optimistic about it and had a high reputation in literature. Such people had no way to change their families and compete with other forces. They could only wait for Donglin to turn the tables. Donglin could not turn over, so they could only ask for the fields and ask for houses at home.

Qian Qianyi was one of the leaders of Donglin in the future, and later became the leader of the literary world. Now he is also moving forward in this way. He has a vast friendship and a very good reputation in Jiangnan. Such a person encounters the treatment he has stopped after buying insurance. Although Qian Qianyi himself is not happy, the person who secretly watches him laughing must have smiled and said.

As for what I wanted to buy with the trend, of course I stopped.

Fortunately, Hutchison's land insurance business has been stable and there is almost no trouble. The source of land insurance customers from Yanshen to Nanjing has been increasing. It has a very good reputation, which has also offset the adverse effects of some maritime insurance cessation.

After defeating the Dutch fleet, the people in front of them were almost unhappy, but frowned and considered various aftermaths. Some things cannot be delayed. It is no exaggeration to say that delaying one day is a considerable loss.

In the Ping An Statement, you can earn at least 1.2 million or even 1.5 million a year.

Trade with Japan and other places is at least 1.5 million taels a year.

In addition to the impact on maritime insurance, it is better to say three million a year than to say less, and you can only count more.

This one day is a loss of 10,000 taels. Who dares to delay it?

Chang Wei and others' discussions became more and more excited, and their tone became more and more high-pitched, almost feeling like they were dancing.

It’s not their fault. It’s too depressing during this period, and the responsibilities and burdens on them are too heavy.

Using the algorithm just now, Taiwan has lost at least 1.5 million to 2 million taels of money, plus the firearms and various materials invested by the military department, such as iron and wood, and cash silver, every time they go out, how much investment and loss is there?

With the funds used during the development, the investment is really too high.

"Can you have a formal meeting and discuss later?" Sun Jingting smiled and said, "It's better to go down and be happy with the soldiers at this time."

Chang Wei laughed and nodded in agreement. Zhang Xuwen also smiled and said, "We still lost our calmness... In fact, it's all because of the excitement."

Sun Jingting said: "Actually, I am so happy. If you have opened up the situation here, the pressure on us will be much less."

Although Chang Wei and others were asked to calm down, Sun Jingting also had an unconcealed smile on his face.

It is almost autumn now. Before the New Year, Taiwan probably won’t be able to withdraw any money. The situation here is too big. The Military Office has been supporting it. Since the situation has been opened, it is probably not necessary to support the headquarters by the end of the year. But if you want to send money to the north, you will probably have to wait until mid-next year.

By then, trade with Russia opened up and made a lot of money. Taiwan sent back the money, and Hutchison's deficit problem was completely solved. Not only could it solve the current deficit of 2 million taels, but it was estimated that there would be some remaining one.

Then the insurance business will promote the development of the accounting industry. Once the maritime insurance is pushed back, the entire chessboard will come alive.

This is a great joy, and Sun Jingting cannot help but be unhappy.

Everyone walked down happily. When the tower came up, they felt very tall. Fortunately, everyone exercised their physical fitness every day and were young. The oldest Sun Jingting was in his thirties and was far from the time of his energy decline. When they went down the tower, they felt like they were prideful and horses were fast. Everyone almost walked to the tower gate, pushed the door out, and saw a shiny look in front of them.

Chang Wei, Zhang Xuwen and others were all given Yuansui, and each of them lit a pine torch. There were originally avenues from the base area to the port, with lamp poles on both sides, and large wind lamps were hung all the way. Now they were lit. More of the soldiers of the Fourth Regiment and the officials and workers of the port were ignited. I don’t know which middle-level man was good. I took out hundreds or thousands of torches in the warehouse at once. I expected that in this situation tonight, Chang Wei would not curse people because of this little thing.

Chang Wei really didn't care much. He was suppressed a while ago. Taiwan's various expenses can be reduced if they can be reduced, and it can be saved as much as possible. After today, Taiwan's 20 to 3 million yuan a year is counted as less than these 100 million yuan a year. What a thousand torches of money? After all, he was born as a playboy, so he really doesn't take this little money into consideration.

Besides, today's victory should have been widely promoted! It is a secret that the soldiers' bloody battles are not worthy of some torches?

The entire port area was as bright as daytime. The first wave of severely damaged ships had been towed back. After the port area, a large number of people heard and heard from it. When the war started during the day, in order to avoid chaos and spies, the people gathered in the tun fort or hid in the base defense circle. Later, the news of the victory came out, and the entire base and the tun fort were boiling. Of course, it was impossible to release all people. At this moment, there were about 100,000 people, how could they all come to the shore?

Even so, there are quite a lot of people, including the beach, port, trestle, storage area, shipyard, ship platform, seawall separated from the Firearms Bureau and the coast... There are crowds rushing over when they hear the news.

Officers, officials, officers, soldiers, soldiers and the soldiers and civilians in the fortress, men, women, elderly, young people, children, all kinds of things, almost filled the entire beach.

People were full of smiles on their faces, talking about what was happening in front of them in various accents.

All the men praised Chang Wei and others in their greatest voices, envious of the bravery of the sea soldiers and hated that they could not go into battle to kill the enemy.

They have been in Taiwan for at least half a year, and even the Liao people regard this place as their new home and no longer have the desire to return to Liaodong.

This great victory is like the steel knife hanging on the forehead being taken away, and the big stone pressing on the heart being carried down. This kind of satisfaction is really indescribable.
