After Wen Rensheng finished recommending them, Governor Wang called these people together.

"You are all recommended by my nephew. I believe in your abilities. As long as you do well, I will recommend you to be a ninth-grade Zuo Zaguan based on your merits..."

Hearing this, the cashiers who were kneeling on the ground burst into tears of gratitude.

If you really become an official, you will reach the sky in one step.

How difficult it is to go from civilian to official.

The route that ordinary people can know is to take the imperial examination.

Everyone knows how difficult the imperial examination is.

Many great talents who are knowledgeable about the past and present may not be able to win the imperial examination in their lifetime, or even be selected as a scholar.

But it is possible for them to become officials, no, even becoming officials is good.

Wen Rensheng looked at these people and shook his head in his heart.

The governor Wang's words made him angry as soon as he heard them.

How can it be possible to recommend everyone with so many people?

And they don't know how difficult it is to do it well.

But it's life-threatening.

Land, this thing, is enough to make people take risks.

If they don't dare to attack the governor, why don't they dare to attack specific clerks?

These people are honest by nature and will definitely not think of this level and will definitely check and clean it up carefully.

It's too easy to offend people.

Originally, their character is to offend people easily, otherwise, they would not be in trouble.

Anyway, the current Ming Dynasty is already very corrupt.

However, for Wen Rensheng, there are still 5% outstanding people in this rotten Ming Dynasty.

It's just that no one organized these people together.

If these 5% of people can be organized together, they will definitely become very powerful.

The population of Ming Dynasty is between 100 million and 200 million.

If it's 5%, it's 5 million to 10 million.

The rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty only relied on 60,000 soldiers and 200,000 soldiers.

In the meantime, they continued to capture the savage Jurchens to replenish the losses. At least tens of thousands of people were lost before and after.

If these 5 million people gathered together, Wen Rensheng believed that they would be invincible.

Just relying on the most traditional and backward ideas of loyalty and filial piety is enough to crush everything.

The question is how to bring these people together?

Then we need to develop ancient logistics.

But transportation in ancient times was very poor. The only good transportation was water network transportation.

For example, why did it cost so much to open the canal?

The cost of land transportation is more than 20 times that of water transportation.

To transport grain, a large cart requires two mules and a driver, and can only pull 700 to 1,000 kilograms, and no more than 2,000 kilograms at most.

The vehicle also needs to be repaired from time to time. If it can't run 100 miles, the wheels and other parts must be repaired.

A driver with two mules can travel up to 60 miles a day. It takes more than half a month to travel hundreds of miles, and requires a lot of food.

An ordinary small boat can also carry 2,000 to 7,000 kilograms of things. It only requires two people, or even one person can punt it if the current is smooth.

Not to mention that you can sail on the sea by wind, which does not require manpower and is more economical.

People definitely eat less than mules, and the maintenance period of boats is much shorter than that of cars.

After all, one has to constantly rub, collide, and roll on rough roads; the other is traveling on a gentle waterway, so as long as it doesn't hit rocks, it won't be a big deal.

Therefore, those who march must go by water if there is water. Unless necessary, such as a sneak attack, few generals insist on going by land.

So Wen Rensheng thought of a way.

Establish maritime logistics along the coast.

Establish river transport logistics along the river.

Don't touch it by land.

There are too many forces involved in the land route.

In comparison, river transportation and sea transportation are relatively rare.

After all, you need a boat to set up a jam on the water, and it needs to be a good boat, as ordinary squires can't do this.

Just like no one in future generations can set up cards in the sky to collect taxes...

After the logistics is established, it is possible for Wenrensheng to gather 200,000 of these 5 million people.

After all, there are still many densely populated cities along the rivers and coasts.

It can be said that these people have more public motives than selfishness, are willing to serve until death, and are willing to save the Ming Dynasty.

Even if Ming Dynasty sucks, they are still willing.

In the final analysis, it is the years of loyalty and filial piety that have penetrated into their hearts.

There are still many people loyal to the Ming Dynasty, such as Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, and some generations of generals. What about the You family, the Ma family...

He family.

Cao family.

Although those generals drank the blood of their soldiers, they were still willing to risk their lives to save the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that they couldn't concentrate, so they could only be implicated by those trash, holding them back on the battlefield, and leading to collapse.

As a result, the overall situation seems to be a lot, but when it comes to the battlefield, it is necessary to attack more with less.

After settling this matter, Wen Rensheng left the governor's mansion.

He went to look for shops to seek refuge with himself.

What kind of store are you going to open?

One is the blacksmith's shop, the second is the carpenter's shop, and the third is the cloth shop.

These are all related to shipbuilding.

Of course, he is still in the northwest now, and sooner or later he will move to the southeast.

Southeast Water Network is the best place for the development of the logistics industry.

Because he cannot use leapfrog advanced technologies, he can only integrate them.

Integration is the use of existing technologies to combine them together.

He ordered Xie Changgeng to find him.

Soon we found seven or eight people who were willing to join us.

In fact, many businesses have nowhere to turn to.

How can they get close to the governor?

Even officials such as county magistrates and chief registrars are unreliable.

They just struggle to survive, coping with the oppression of government officials and various gangsters, and they don't know what day they will be slaughtered as fat sheep.

Those businesses that make a lot of money are all opened by officials, nobles, eunuchs, and princes with backgrounds.

Such as salt, silk, tea, raw silk, money chests, etc...

There is no need to find another supporter from the beginning.

Wen Rensheng asked these people to seek refuge in his name and gave them posts.

If something happens, just take the post and go to the concierge.

Now he is a scholar and a famous person in Futai.

He didn't touch the cakes of those big merchants.

They are just looking for some little shrimps to be their backers.

Generally, bureaucrats will still give this little face.

At worst, you'll have to eat someone else's food.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Anyway, businesses are like weeds, they are cut this year and will grow again next year.

Of course they don't care, what a terrible thing will grow out in the end.

We have affiliated with 13 large and small shops. The highest cost is Xie Changgeng's 20,000 taels, and the lowest is only 200 taels.

A total of 50,000 taels of business capital.

He is a staff member with a Futai background, but he can still cover him up.

As for why other staff don't do this, it's because they take too much trouble.

They don't want to support others every day, they want easy money.

For example, if you eat dry stocks, you don’t have to worry about anything.
