On the 20th day of the first lunar month of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Lin Chunhong set off at the Jingzhou Wharf and officially took office in Guangdong. In addition to the more than 1,000 troops, Lin Chunhong transferred all the subordinates of Fujian and Guangdong in Bangtai, and also carried more than 600 craftsmen who were skilled in casting cannons and shipbuilding, and headed to Guangdong in a mighty manner.

The fleet was continuous for several miles, extremely spectacular, and in the most direct way, he told the world who was the master of the waterway. The soldiers from the Longhu Camp were all good at boating and oaring, and saved the boatman. Lin Chunhong went down the river all the way to Yuezhou, then crossed Dongting Lake and entered the Xiangjiang River.

In winter, northwest winds prevail, and the boats take advantage of the wind and move very quickly. Four days later, it is only more than thirty miles away from Changsha.

When sailing on the Xiang River, Lin Chunhong enjoyed this journey very much. He either planned a strategy or enjoyed the scenery along the coast. He was warm with Cui Yuer, and his life was quite comfortable.

Because Zhou Feng was pregnant with Liujia, he handed over all the affairs of Sany Society to Cui Yuer, and kept it in Jingzhou for cultivation, and vowed to have a leader for Lin Chunhong. Lin Chunhong had to go south with Cui Yu, trying to expand Sany Society's business to the vast ocean.

"The future of Sany Society is in the ocean!" This is the basic strategy that Lin Chunhong set for the insurance business. After all, under the protection of Bangtai's force, the risk of ship owners sailing in the inland rivers in Bangtai is very low. For the sake of Lin Chunhong's face, they barely pay the insurance premium, and their enthusiasm is far from high.

However, the insurance concept is extraordinary in terms of its effect on the ocean. The oceans of this era are far from being safe. Due to factors such as pirates, primitive navigation and positioning methods, and inaccurate weather forecasts, the loss rate during ocean navigation exceeds 30%. If insurance can be promoted along the coast, it will effectively distribute risks and increase the enthusiasm of sea merchants to go to sea, which will have immeasurable benefits for the development of the marine industry.

Therefore, Cui Yuer's trip to the south this time can be said to be shouldering heavy responsibilities. However, this is Lin Chunhong's idea. In the eyes of the sour scholar, this move is direct evidence that Lin Chunhong is not doing his job properly and is arrogant and elegant.

Moreover, when the Ming Dynasty officials and generals took office, they were not allowed to bring their families. Lin Chunhong pointed at this and still did his own thing. He believed that Zhu Youjian and Wen Tiren might be able to celebrate after hearing that he brought his concubine south, and even wished that Lin Chunhong would be able to control hundreds of women every day and die.

Cui Yu'er snuggled in Lin Chunhong's arms like a lazy cat. Her jade hand, as white as mutton fat, picked up a thin bamboo stick, poked an apple, and fed it into Lin Chunhong's mouth, "Third brother, you're almost here in Changsha, do you want to stop?"

"Um..." Lin Chunhong chewed the apple in his mouth and squeaked, "Who is there in Changsha? Well, there is an old friend, Gao Doushu! There should be another person, why is he named Yang?"

"Yang Yiren! Salt class prescription."

"Well, I should say hello to Yang Yiren! If you want to say, Yang Yiren is a talent..."

Lin Chunhong hugged Cui Yu'er horizontally, placed it on the soft couch next to him, stood up, and shouted: "Zhang Jief..."

Zhang Jief was outside the cabin and heard the shouts and immediately came in, "What are the instructions of the general?"

"Call Deputy Wu, I have something to do!"

...

In less than a quarter of an hour, Wu Tianhai appeared in front of Lin Chunhong's eyes.

Wu Tianhai was originally from Zhangzhou, Fujian. He was wandering in Dongting Lake. He followed Zhang Zhao and was arranged by Yang Yiren. Later, he followed Li Mengshen to rob the Yangtze River and served as the flagship stormtrooper. Now he was recruited by Lin Chunhong into the Dragon and Tiger Camp and became the battalion deputy of the Navy Marine Camp.

Lin Chunhong's order was very simple: "Go and say hello to Yang Yiren, just say Zhang Zhao is my person, let him take care of it!"

After saying that, Lin Chunhong ordered the boat to stop in Changsha, rest for a night, and then leave tomorrow.

When night fell, Lin Chunhong welcomed an unexpected guest: Yang Yiren.

Lin Chunhong looked at him with admiration. Yang Yiren was alone and did not carry any gold and silver items. His courage and his grasp of people's hearts were extraordinary. Lin Chunhong was determined to test it and said, "Mr. Yang is here late at night. Are you not afraid that someone Lin will give you an explanation to his subordinates?"

Yang Yiren smiled faintly and said, "If Yang's head is taken away, it will be beneficial to the general, and Yang should take no hesitation to the head!"

This time, Lin Chunhong choked, stared at Yang Yiren in a daze, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Mr. Yang is really a smart person, and I admire him! Please give me a seat."

Yang Yiren is not only confident, but also has a very good grasp of interests and can retreat bravely. He is actually a top-notch figure among the Ming bureaucrats. Also, as a corrupt official, how could he escape unscathed? Lin Chunhong wanted to recruit and asked casually: "I don't know what happened after Yang Gong returned home?"

"It's nothing more than drinking some soup left by the General, it's insignificant!"

"Soup soup?"

Yang Yiren smiled and said, "The General General is doing bill business in Guangzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Kuizhou and other places. It is a trick to make a fortune. Seeing that the world is ignorant and refused to trust the bill paper, Yang took on some silver transportation business. He made a profit of eight cents through transportation of one tael of silver. Over the years, he has made a fortune."

Lin Chunhong was shocked. Yang Yiren's vision was too ruthless? He cleverly used the mentality of people who did not trust bills, and he could make a lot of profits by replacing the goods, with almost no risks. For example, Yang Yiren received an order from Guangzhou to deliver 100,000 taels of silver to Yangzhou. He only needed to deposit the silver into the Guangzhou Money House and then withdraw it from the Yangzhou Money House. After deducting two percent of the handling fee, he obtained a net profit of 8,000 taels!

Lin Chunhong praised: "No one can match Yang Gong's vision."

Yang Yiren smiled and said, "Master General makes a lot of money, so let's follow us to make some small money. What's the point? However, Master General General makes such a big career in Jingzhou, which makes Mr. Yang admire him!"

"What a huge career, I can only make ends meet. Bangtai looks glamorous on the surface, but in fact he has already lost money!" Lin Chunhong's words are not a false statement. Although Chongzhen took over a large area of ​​territory and collected millions of stones of grain in the seventh year, it has consumed a lot of money to expand its troops, rectify waterways on a large scale, and build water conservancy. Bangtai is indeed in a deficit state at present.

"Can you barely make such a big noise in Jiangnan? The grain merchants there are almost forced to die!"

Lin Chunhong and Yang Yiren laughed and sat down together, which made the relationship much closer.

The so-called huge movement in Jiangnan was that ten three-masted sailboats transported grain to Yangzhou. Lin Chunhong became increasingly impatient with the restrictions on Bangtai in the Jiangnan region. This action not only made great efforts, but also threatened that Bangtai had tens of millions of stones of grain in his hands. The price of grain in Jiangnan fell, causing heavy losses to local large grain merchants. This can be regarded as a reminder to the gentry, bureaucrats and wealthy merchants in Jiangnan, or a preview of Lin Chunhong's preparation to control the grain market in Jiangnan.

After Yang Yiren returned home, he quickly accumulated considerable wealth with the large amount of cash in his hand and became the most powerful man in Changsha. However, his wealth was quickly coveted by local officials and gentry and bandits, especially Gao Doushu, who even set his sights on Yang Yiren. As far as Yang Yiren knows, Gao Doushu is secretly investigating Yang Yiren's corruption and corruption in his reign, trying to use this to raise money to recruit archers and replicate the miracle of Jingzhou.

Gao Doushu also has another identity, the deputy envoy of the Censor of Huguang. The investigation of Yang Yiren can be said to be justified. After seeing Wu Tianhai, Yang Yiren had the idea of ​​joining Lin Chunhong. However, Yang Yiren was a Jinshi and had also been a fifth-rank salt course. He was quite arrogant and tried to gain a certain position within Bangtai. He immediately made a statement about his business, with the purpose of getting Lin Chunhong's attention.

But this is not enough. He can calculate business, and at best it is equivalent to Phyllis and others. How can Yang Yiren be attracted to it? So Yang Yiren tried to show his talent and asked: "When Yang saw the general going south happily, does he mean to compete with Zheng Zhilong?"

"I'm just thinking that, I wonder what Mr. Yang taught me?" Lin Chunhong nodded. It's a trivial matter to deal with Zheng Zhilong. Lin Chunhong's plan is not only that. His eyes are always on Nanyang, which is the garden after the Ming Dynasty. How can Europeans act recklessly? However, Lin Chunhong and Yang Yiren met for the first time and did not intend to make a simple and profound statement.

Yang Yiren said endlessly: "After Yang lived in Changsha, he had thought about the sea affairs at the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years. Yang discovered that since the Longwan period, the people of Fujian have always been obsessed with the bulls from all over the world, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Shandong people all avoid their edge. Take the destruction of Liu Xiang now, which can also be attributed to the fact that the Fujian people defeated the Guangdong people. Yang felt that this was not accidental. If you think about it carefully, you will really gain something. Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong and other places have fertile land, and the Fujian area is mountainous, and the conflict between people and land is very prominent. In terms of going out to sea to make a living, there is far less people in other areas than Fujian people! Fujian people have no other way except to find a way to make a living in the four seas!"

Lin Chunhong was shocked and felt that this statement seemed a bit familiar! Isn’t this the geographical structure and population factor among the sea power elements?

Lin Chunhong stood up from the bottom of his heart and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, Mr. Lin has no idea about Mount Tai, I hope to forgive him!" Lin Chunhong doesn't want to let go of the Jinshi who is seriously thinking about the ocean, so he must use it for himself!

Yang Yiren was flattered, but at the same time he was a little confused. Why did Lin Chunhong react so strongly?

Yang Yiren stood up and avoided Lin Chunhong and bowed, and then said, "The General General praised him. Yang said nonsense and said no. "

The two sat down again, and Yang Yiren continued: "Although the Fujian people are all over the world, they face a very important problem, which is the lack of food. After Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the court, he quickly surpassed other forces and dominated the ocean. The most important reason was that he received food funding from the court and could expand his personnel. How could Liu Xiang fight against it? Yang heard that the general had tens of millions of stones of food in his hands, so why not hold Zheng Zhilong's throat with the food?"

Lin Chunhong had a plan to deal with Zheng Zhilong, and Yang Yiren provided another idea. The two talked all night long and attracted each other as confidants.

Finally, Lin Chunhong said: "Your Majesty, now I just lack a planner here. Why don't you give in to your position?"

Yang Yiren was overjoyed. As soon as he entered Bangtai, he was with Lin Chunhong. His future development was limitless. He immediately said: "The General has his order, but he dare not obey? When Yang cleans up, he will go to Guangdong immediately!"
Chapter completed!
