After Mao Bijiang left, the old man stared at his son and said, "Don't you always want to travel? Dad is sure now."
The old man's name was Fang Kongzhen, and his son's name was Fang Yizhi. When he heard that his father agreed, he immediately asked in surprise: "Seriously?"
Fang Kongzhen nodded and said, "But you are only allowed to go to the capital."
When Fang Yizhi heard this, he couldn't help asking: "Why?"
"There are so many things that have happened in the capital, which are unheard of. And most of them are only implemented or popular in the capital. After all, Nanjing is a bit far away. It will be much better for you to go and see and listen than if you join some Fushe.
Yes." Fang Kongzheng explained with emotion.
In the past, except for political affairs, the South led the North in everything else, but now it is a little different.
In terms of culture, for example, the drama that was just popular in Jiangnan came from the capital.
There are more economic aspects. Banks, state-owned enterprises, cement road construction, etc. all first appeared in the capital, and have not even been seen in Nanjing.
All these signs made Fang Kongzhen feel that there was a great opportunity in the capital, but he already had an official position and could not just go to the capital. But his son was just right. He was just a scholar, so he could travel around and maybe he could find one.
Opportunity to take things to the next level.
He knew that he was not the only one who had this idea. Many well-informed people had noticed the difference in the capital and sent their disciples to the capital.
It goes without saying that my son is smart and talented. It's just a matter of imperial examination. It can be said that thousands of troops cross a single-plank bridge. No matter how talented he is, he may not be able to advance smoothly.
After going to the capital, it would be best if I could find a shortcut. Even if not, it would be good to increase my knowledge.
Therefore, he told his son this plan and asked him to go to the capital to have a look.
Fang Yizhi didn't care about his father's restrictions. His interest was not in officialdom, but he wanted to see the various research institutes established in the capital. It was said that local research institutes were also being established, but of course he was interested in the research institutes in the capital.
More interested.
"When you go on a trip, don't throw away your homework. You must bring the books you should bring, understand?" Fang Kongzheng warned.
"My child understands." Fang Yizhi agreed repeatedly.
Under the butterfly effect caused by Zhong Jinwei, the Four Young Masters of Fushe in history no longer exist, and the corresponding characters have embarked on an unknown path.
Soon after, the imperial envoy announced the crime of restoring society, manipulating the imperial examination system, and trying to control the national talent evaluation ceremony. His crime was very serious. The person behind it was a major salt merchant in Lianghuai, and the evidence was conclusive. All the people who were in charge would have their homes searched, and the relevant persons
Wait until they are all escorted to Beijing.
This caused a sensation in the city of Nanjing. No one thought that such a famous literary society, the famous Mr.
Immediately, some people woke up and realized that the several massive rallies held by the Guangfu Society were an unprecedented event since ancient times. Without the support of large funds, it would be impossible.
Of course, there were also some officials' children who participated in the restoration of the community and also participated in the donation. However, these were just small heads. They were secretly warned by the imperial envoy and then the records were erased.
Immediately afterwards, with the intervention of the imperial envoy, the Nanjing Branch of the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty was re-established. In addition, the Nanjing Branch of the Ming Weimin Bank, which was participated by yamen at all levels in Nanjing, was also established and took the lead in paying reserves to the Nanjing Branch of the Royal Bank. It was announced at the same time
The deposit and loan interest rates of Weimin Bank are the same as those of the Capital Bank, and bank notes can be issued from both north and south. People from all over the world are welcome to deposit and borrow money.
After finishing these tasks, the imperial envoy withdrew his troops and returned to Beijing under the welcome of officials at all levels in Nanjing.
There are more business people in the Jiangnan area than in the capital, and the interest rates on private loans are also higher. As soon as the interest rates on deposits and loans from the Weimin Bank were announced, the people rejoiced and praised them. In the blink of an eye, they forgot that the army was everywhere and arresting people everywhere.
The terror of scholars.
However, the private lenders and banks that had suffered heavy losses, under the strong pressure from the Nanjing Branch of Weimin Bank and public opinion, had to join forces with the banks in Beijing to compete with Weimin Bank. However, these were all
It happened after the imperial envoy left.
While public opinion in Nanjing was discussing these new policies, there was a man standing in the lobby of the Fujian Governor's Yamen, waiting to be received by the governor.
The governor's personal guard had been in the backstage for a while, but the governor still didn't show up.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know that the governor probably didn't like this person, or he wanted to give this person a slap in the face and give him a break first.
The person waiting in the hall was Yan Yingyuan, who had come to Fujian to report. Although he had been waiting for a long time, he knew what the governor probably meant when he didn't come out for so long. But he didn't mean to be unhappy at all, and he still waited quietly.
Yan Yingyuan's reaction has something to do with his character, and he is just a general. He is the governor of Fujian, so he is his superior. It is common sense for superiors to let their subordinates go, etc.
But no one greeted him, and no one took him to the back office. He was left alone in the lobby of the front office. This shows that the relationship between superiors and subordinates is not harmonious.
This is indeed what Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian, meant. He was very unhappy that the imperial court actually parachuted a general down.
You must know that the Fujian Navy now has no commander-in-chief, deputy generals and staff generals, all of them are vacant. The largest one in the navy is the coastal defense guerrilla Zheng Zhilong.
This Zheng Zhilong was the pirate recruited by Xiong Wencan, and he was extremely powerful. After transforming into an officer and soldier, he used the resources of the government to kill and drive away all his original accomplices and even sworn brothers. The nearby sea area was basically his.
The world is over.
Therefore, his maritime business was huge, and the money was rolling in. Of course, the governor of Fujian had a share in the profits.
Since Xiong Wencan recruited Zheng Zhilong, not only have there been no more pirates in the coastal areas of Fujian, causing harm to the place, but he has also been able to make a fortune. This is the most ideal state for an official. Xiong Wencan is very satisfied with the current situation and does not want to be in the current situation.
There are any changes.
Therefore, in history, after receiving the recommendation from Yang Sichang, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to transfer Xiong Wencan to counter the rebellion based on his political achievements. As a result, he came up with the "Five Difficulties and Four Impossibles" that are ridiculous in the world to taint himself.
Trying to stay in the South.
Although it is only a small general who is transferred under his jurisdiction, this general is Zheng Zhilong's superior and is in charge of Zheng Zhilong. If there is something wrong with his brain and he does things, he will find out that the Fujian Navy
There are a lot of tricks, which are not good for Zheng Zhilong or him.
Therefore, he decided to discipline Yan Yingyuan well. Although he knew that Yan Yingyuan must have a backing in the capital, otherwise he would not have been transferred from the dangerous place of Denglai to the fat and oily place of Fujian Navy.
But the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Fujian is too far away from the capital. He is also the number one man. He is a big official in the border area, so he is not afraid of the backstage of a small general.
Based on this idea, he ignored Yan Yingyuan for nearly an hour before he walked towards the front office with a swaying step.
