Qin Zhao didn't say anything.

Ding Kuichu sneered: "I'm curious about what you want to ask for? Why did you run to me to ask for it at this point in time?"

Qin Zhao took a breath and said, "The little people no longer ask the governor, it's better not to mention it."

"Tell me, maybe I'll give you a good mood!"

"Xiaomin wants to ask for a military official position."

"Oh!" Ding Kuichu smiled and asked: "Hundred households? Thousand households?"

Qin Zhao replied honestly: "Thousand Houses!"

"Oh, want to learn from the Zheng family as a warlord?"

"The little people dare not!"

Ding Kuichu raised her head and laughed.

After laughing for a while, he said, "What a young man, who killed a tiger, invented a soft chair, and now he wants to be a warlord and buy a thousand-household official. I really think you are not ordinary. No wonder that crazy Zheng Sen valued you so much. He offended everyone in Guangdong for your business."

Qin Zhao bowed and said, "The Lord of the Governor is joking. I heard that the Lord of the Governor loves money, and it may not be impossible to buy a thousand households with the Lord of the Governor. But today I think the Lord of the Governor does not love money, and the Lord of the Governor loves power. I am so angry with the Zheng family and me who have ruined the power of the Governor in Guangzhou City, and I am unwilling to make any payment for it."

Ding Kuichu laughed again.

"Young man, I ask you, where can you get money without power? Even if you have a mountain of gold and silver piled up there, you have no power for a day, it is just someone else's dowry and a jade bi for every man."

Qin Zhao bowed and said, "The little people have been taught. The governor took the time to see the little people, so the little people would not disturb them and leave."

Ding Kuichu looked up and down at Qin Zhao, and he felt that this young man was more and more interesting.

"Don't you buy an official with me? Want to go to Nanjing to buy it?"

Qin Zhao bowed and replied: "It's not that I don't want to buy it with the governor, but the governor will not sell it!"

Ding Kuichu laughed and said, "Who said I won't sell it? I'll sell you a thousand households!"

"Twenty thousand taels of silver are the profits in your store for half a year, right? How do you and Zheng Sen share the money? Five-five?"

Qin Zhao only felt a sensation in his stomach.

Twenty thousand taels of silver? Qin Zhao's total wealth is not 20,000 taels of silver. Now Qin Zhao only has four or five thousand taels of silver in his hands, and there are also spring soft chairs worth more than one thousand taels. Together, it may be worth 6,000 taels of wealth. If you want to give him 20,000 taels of silver as Ding Kuichu said, Qin Zhao will have to wait at least half a year to raise enough silver.

The Nanming was in turmoil, and the situation was not known after half a year.

Ding Kuichu had long been dead, Qin Zhao had much money. Whether it was to compensate him for his losses or buy an official, he asked Qin Zhao to give out 20,000 taels of silver.

Qin Zhao took a breath and said, "Governors are more comfortable and surrender."

Qin Zhao understood that Ding Kuichu was extorting himself. This was the Southern Ming Dynasty of Hongguang. The Tartars went south all the way. Maybe one day the Emperor Hongguang would die. If it were Qianhuo of the Chongzhen Dynasty, it would make sense to say that it would be sold at 5,000 taels. The Qianhuo of the Hongguang Dynasty should be even less valuable, so how could it be sold at 20,000 taels?

Ding Kuichu's eyebrows stood up and shouted, "I can't even save a penny of money!"

Qin Zhao thought about it, and showed a very painful expression on his face, saying, "Since the governor cannot lower the price, Rong Xiaomin goes back and thinks for a while? Xiaomin really can't bring out so much money! If he really takes 20,000 taels of silver to respect the governor, it will be half a year later."

Ding Kuichu narrowed his eyes when he saw Qin Zhao's calm and calm attitude.

"Young man, you promise me now that it's not too late to get the money in half a year."

Qin Zhao bowed and said, "The governor and the governor, and the price is too expensive. I heard that one hundred taels of silver for the superiors every year, and in five years, one can be promoted from a hundred households to a thousand households. Then spend two hundred taels of silver every year, and in another five years, it will become a thousand households. How can there be a number of 20,000?"

Ding Kuichu knew that he was in the wrong, so he sneered and said, "Well, you go back and think about it slowly."

Qin Zhao took Qin Youli out of Ding Kuichu's reception room.

When the beautiful maid saw Qin Zhao leave, she held the golden hairpin that Ding Kuichu gave her in her hand and sat on Ding Kuichu's soft couch.

"Master, why don't you make money and let the young man leave?"

"The master is not like the master today."

Ding Kuichu sneered and said, "Do you think I really don't make money from him?"

"Who did he go to Nanjing to look for? Who would be promoted? He didn't need to leave the account book from me? It depends on my expression! I didn't agree to him, and my colleagues in Nanjing dared not pass by me to promote him."

"I'm sure he made a profit of the 20,000 taels of silver!"

The beautiful maid stomped her feet and said, "Master, I want to make a green gauze skirt and buy a pair of rouge. You can buy yarn for five taels of silver!"

...

On the eighth day of June, Qin Zhao arrived at Songjiang by Zheng's merchant ship, and then changed to sand boats into the Yangtze River. On June 14th, Qin Zhao arrived in Nanjing.

Nanjing was the capital of the Ming Dynasty, which means that the original capital, Nanjing, continued to remain as the capital after the capital was moved to Beijing. The Ming Dynasty set up a backup court in Nanjing for more than 200 years, with six officials. The reason why the Ming Dynasty set up the capital of the capital was to prevent the country from losing its leader after Beijing fell.

When Beijing was still there, the six officials who stayed in Nanjing also had important positions. In the 17th year of Chongzhen, the preparations of the ancestors of the Ming royal family did play a role.

After Beijing fell, the unstolen areas of the country immediately looked at Nanjing, which had the backup court, waiting for Nanjing to elect a new emperor. After the six ministries and officials of Nanjing elected King Zhu Yousong ascended the throne and inherited Dabao, the provinces that had not yet fallen in the south immediately expressed their support and recognized the legitimacy of the new emperor.

The reason is that Nanjing had a high status in the Ming Dynasty.

Qin Zhao got on the shore from the Yangtze River Wharf and saw the majestic and magnificent Nanjing City.

The city wall is four stories high, and there is no end to see from east to west, only a magnificent city wall is seen.

The city of Nanjing in Ming Dynasty is an irregular shape with a long north and narrow east and west, 20 miles north and south, more than 11 miles east and west, with a circumference of 67 miles, and an area of ​​55 square kilometers. Nanjing City has 13 gates, 3 gates in the south, and the main gate is Zhengyang Gate; 5 gates in the west; 1 gate in the east; and 4 gates in the north. The city wall is laid with large stone strips, completely covered with blue bricks, with 13,616 marching holes and 200 Tibetan Bing Caves, with an average height of about 12 meters. The city wall is surrounded by mountains and water, and covers all the land and is very strong. Starting from Shizi Mountain in the north, to Jubao Mountain in the south, to Shitou City in the west, and to the foot of Zhongshan in the east, "all are located at the ridge of Gangcheng", like a dragon.

The base of the city wall in Nanjing is paved with stone, and the wall body is made of large city bricks with a height of 10 cm, 20 cm wide and about 40 cm long. The outer walls on both sides are built with soil in the middle. Only the city walls on the east and north sides of the Palace District are all made of bricks.

The city's population reached one million, and its population was comparable to that of Beijing. It was one of the largest cities in the world at this time.

Qin Zhao felt inexplicably moved when he saw such a big city. With such a big city, you can reserve food and no matter how many soldiers you attack, it seems not difficult to defend for a year! However, Qin Zhao knew that when the Qing Dynasty went south, Nanjing was in chaos and surrendered without fighting. Such a huge city and such a strong defense were all decorated.
