As the conversation deepened, the transaction between Lin Chunhong and Qu Shisi finally entered the substantive stage. Lin Chunhong hoped to use the power of the Donglin Party to achieve the purpose of going north to suppress bandits, and asked Qu Shisi to provide convenience for Bangtai's business in Jiangnan.

Qu Shixiu didn't comment, just said that he had to consider feasibility. Lin Chunhong thought secretly: I can provide very few chips now. Please give me more time. Nainai, you can wait, let's see who is stronger and who is weak!

Lin Chunhong was unable to do so, so he had to say goodbye to Qu Shisi and go to Shengze, Wujiang to continue his inspection tour. Qu Shisi immediately rushed to Fushanshui Room to pay homage to his teacher Qian Qianyi. Fushanshui Room was built by the lake and was used by Qian Qianyi to collect all his books. In the Ming Dynasty, the trend of private book collection was very popular, and the name of the collection was related to water, which mainly stems from the fact that books are very afraid of fire. For example, Tianyi Pavilion transformed from "Tianyi Shengshui Water". The name of Fushanshui Room is also the purpose of this.

Rather than saying that Qian Qianyi is a politician, it is better to say that he is a scholar. Although he is keen on power struggles, he has never been able to get what he wants. After Chongzhen ascended the throne, he was backed by the Donglin Party, but he was jointly removed from power by Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren. His political mind can be seen. Now Qian Qianyi has returned to his hometown for a long time, fiddling with his collection of books every day to do his historical research. Qian Qianyi has a grand plan: to privately practice the history of the period from Taizu to the present during his lifetime! Now a historical book, "Dialectical Records of Taizu" has been published.

If Lin Chunhong learned about Qian Qianyi's plan, he would inevitably sigh: The Ming Dynasty's atmosphere is really open, and private people can also study the history of this dynasty! It was also under this open atmosphere that the Ming Dynasty launched a high dynasty with Western learning and spreading eastward, and a large number of commendable scientists emerged.

Qian Qianyi stroked a lonely book, carefully wiped off the dust on it, put it back into the bookshelf, and asked casually: "These three people have left? You're okay, after you took a carriage, you've become the focus of Changshu."

Qu Shixi smiled awkwardly: "How can I tell the world that Lin Chunhong is our person if I don't get on the carriage?"

Qian Qianyi didn't say anything, and took out a book and read it there. After a long time, he asked, "I just can't understand why you value this kid so much. Isn't this kid just a bit more stinking!"

"Mr. I don't know. If you want to say that your family is rich, how can this kid catch up with Zheng Yiguan? If you want to say that your countrymen are brave enough, how can this kid catch up with Zuo Liangyu's elite? But fortunately, there is no one to rely on this kid. At present, there is no other choice except asking us!"

"Oh? I just find a farmer by the Taihu Lake, and no one can rely on."

"Hehe, sir made fun of the students. Last time the student secretly sent someone to investigate and found that there were many secrets on Bailizhou, but he was unable to go to the island, so the specific situation was unclear. However, when the students heard the strong cannon sound, they vaguely saw several three-masted sailboats more than ten feet tall. It is certain that Bailizhou has a large shipbuilding factory, and the village soldiers also practice using cannons!"

"Oh? This kid actually has this trick? It's interesting." Qu Shisi's words finally aroused Qian Qianyi's interest.

"This guy is like a marten. Although he is very small, he is flexible and energetic. If he doesn't pay attention, he will bite him. This bite is likely to be fatal!" Qu Shisi's sensitivity is far stronger than his teacher Qian Qianyi, and he is aware of Lin Chunhong's hidden power.

Unexpectedly, Qian Qianyi still couldn't change his point of view. He said: "Okay, okay, no matter how thin the mosquito legs are, they are a little fleshy. I don't object to you, but don't forget that Zheng Yiguan, Zuo Liangyu and others are our focus, and don't involve too much energy!"

Qu Shishi sighed and said, "How easy is it to win over Zheng Yiguan and Zuo Liangyu? Xiong Wencan regards Zheng Yiguan as a forbidden corpse and does not allow anyone to intervene. Then Zuo Liangyu is only the leader of Hou Xun. In a hurry, how can we insert it? The students had no choice but to think of finding Lin Chunhong."

Qian Qianyi laughed and said, "It is precisely because of the difficulty that the profit is great. Lin Chunhong competes with Zheng Yiguan and Zuo Liangyu, just like a fireflies competing with the sun and the moon!"

Qu Shisi nodded and said yes, saying goodbye to Qian Qianyi, and then busy with his political connection. Since Sun Yuanhua was abandoned, the Donglin Party and Fushe have been suppressed by Wen Tiren everywhere. Qu Shisi has a strong sense of crisis, and even Lin Chunhong, who holds the straw, doesn't want to let go.

Of course, Lin Chunhong didn't know that he was regarded as a marten, mosquito leg meat, fireflies and straw. He has been serving as Dianshi for nearly three years and has made a lot of contributions. He is also awarded every year. However, his position has not only been promoted. This is not only related to his white body, but more importantly, the widow sleeps without anyone else. Zhang Daohan has long pointed out that white body is not a problem. If he wants to go further, he has to find a backer in the court. Zhang Daohan has always admired the Donglin Party members, so he suggested that Lin Chunhong hold on to Qu Shisi and strive to gain the support of the Donglin Party, a powerful backer.

Lin Chunhong also had this intention. After all, although the Donglin Party and Fushe suffered a complete failure in the court, they were still strong in the local area.

Now, Lin Chunhong and the other two are marveling at the prosperity and prosperity of Shengze, Wujiang. Shengze, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Huzhou are known as the four major silk capitals. Every household here basically takes mulberry silkworms as its business. On both sides of the river are mulberry trees. Pickers are busy greening in the forest, and folk songs from Wu are also heard from time to time. In the village, the sound of looms is endless, and the silk cloth woven from far and near villages is sold to Shengze. In Shengze, there are no less than a thousand families, and silk merchants from all over the world gather here, which makes it difficult to find a place to rest.

There are always a group of machine owners in front of the door of the fang shop. These machine owners are big and small. The big ones sell thousands of silk cloth at one time, while the small ones only sell a few pieces at a time. No matter how much the cost of the machine owner is, everyone carries a wait on their backs. Waits almost become the identity of the merchant. When they take the money from the merchants they acquire, they have to weigh them with the wait they carry, so as not to take advantage without knowing it.

As a result, the quarrels in Shengze were endless, most of them were about the amount of money. This made Lin Chunhong and the other two shook their heads. The three of them found a small shop and ordered some Shengze's unique snacks, but they still argued about this issue.

Especially Zhang Daohan and Li Chongde, the two are used to fighting each other, and they are so full of gunpowder when arguing. Alas, the conflict of ideas involves all aspects, not just silver transactions?

Li Chongde had long been involved in the method of money and sighed: "If you want to say that treasure money is much more convenient than silver, why can't you promote it?"

Zhang Daohan snorted and said, "The treasure banknote has long become waste paper. Brother Yutian doesn't think about it. The court has sent treasure banknotes indiscriminately, so the people are certainly unwilling to use it. Today's treasure banknotes can still be bought, but tomorrow they can only buy a pancake. If it were you, you would be in a hurry to spend it!"

Li Chongde disdained Zhang Daohan's views, looked at Zhang Daohan with a squinted look, and said, "If the imperial court reserves gold and silver of equal value and let the treasure banknotes be exchanged directly, how could the treasure banknotes be like this?"

"If the imperial court had equal value of gold and silver, why would it be for issuing treasure banknotes? Isn't it just to make money?" Zhang Daohan's counterattack immediately followed.

"The issuance of treasure money has many functions, which is convenient for trading. How can it be used to make money?"

"Can the people stop the imperial court from making money?"

...

The debate between Zhang Daohan and Li Chongde was getting louder and louder. Lin Chunhong saw that the two were arguing that the two were not a problem at all. One was talking about the role of paper money, and the other was talking about the irresponsible court, which was just talking about the same thing. He couldn't, so he had to say: "Bao Chao is also easy to imitate. Isn't there a big case of imitating Bao Chao in Wenzhou Prefecture Qianku?"

Zhang Daohan and Li Chongde finally stopped arguing and talked about the forged treasure banknote case that caused a sensation in the Ming Dynasty.

However, Zhang Daohan and Li Chongde's argument had already alarmed the diners around him. These diners were basically businessmen, and of course they had a deep understanding of the inconvenience of Yinliang. For a moment, they pointed at Lin Chunhong and the other two, and talked endlessly.

Next to Lin Chunhong's table, there was a blond and blue-eyed Westerner who was also listening. Lin Chunhong was no longer surprised by the Westerners in the Ming Dynasty and did not deliberately chat with them. This Westerner is from Spain, named Phyllis, and under the banner of a missionary, he sneered at the arguments of many diners: "What's the difficulty? Isn't these problems solved by casting gold and silver coins of various weights?"

Just as Phyllis was deeply whispering the IQ of the Ming people, Lin Chunhong's low comments came into his ears: "Calling gold and silver coins is also a way, but these require costs and almost no profit. Didn't the court minted copper coins on a large scale several times? Every time, they lost all their money. In fact, the silver ingots minted by the government were similar to silver coins, but the types were too few and the quality could not be guaranteed, and they were not very useful for small transactions."

Li Chongde sighed and said, "The money law has reached a point where it is necessary to be changed. After the village soldiers entered the village, they all said that the silver or copper coins in the village were not enough, and the transaction was basically exchanged in physical objects, which was very troublesome. I wonder if the adults noticed that, when large-scale transactions were made, the transportation of silver and money was also a big problem. Long-distance transportation not only consumed manpower, but was also not safe on the road. This has a great impact on our business! The credit bills that the adults mentioned last time can solve this problem well, but they cannot prevent forgery."

Zhang Daohan frowned and said, "Only the court can formulate the money law, but now the court is in trouble with internal and external troubles, and there is no time to formulate the money law? Besides, there is no conclusion on how to solve the problems we are facing now. Even if the court is willing, it is powerless..."

"Shh..." Lin Chunhong noticed that the Westerners next to him were listening to their conversation, so he stopped Zhang Daohan and said, "Shengze's pickles are indeed well-known and delicious. What do you think?"

"If so, Sheng Ze not only dresses in the world, but also has a unique style of snacks..."

"Haha, Shengze not only has clothes and quilts all over the world, but also has good reputation for pickles, but even Guiyuanyuan Courtyard is famous. It is indeed a good place for people to be rich, merchants gather, and cultural heritage. It only makes people recognize that a foreign land is their hometown..."

After talking nonsense without any nutrition for a long time, the three of them paid the bill and left, continuing to watch Shengze's silk industry. Phyllis's heart was ups and downs. He felt that an opportunity to make a fortune was coming, so he quickly paid the bill and followed him.

However, after Lin Chunhong and the other two came out of the shop, they looked at the crowd gathering before the teething, and Li Chongde sighed: "I don't think Shengze's silk industry has any praiseworthy experience. It's just that they gather idle people to reel and weave silk. We have accumulated thousands of years of experience in mulberry planting and silk raising, and weaving them, so we can't learn it. It's better to go to Songjiang to see cotton."

As soon as Li Chongde finished speaking, Zhang Daohan curled his lips and said, "If you don't have much experience, you can be called together with Suzhou, Hangzhou and Huzhou with one town?"

"It's just that there are many people who plant mulberry trees and silkworms. What's there to praise? Besides, the rivers are dense and water transportation is convenient, so business and travel are concentrated here."

"I think the experience of that tooth shop is good..."

The two of them were fighting when they suddenly heard a strange voice behind them shouting: "Three, please stay..."

Lin Chunhong hurriedly turned around, but found that the Westerner had just come after him. Lin Chunhong's guard was secretly vigilant, protecting the two scholars behind him, and asked, "I wonder what the hell is there to do?"

Phyllis ran all the way, and said intermittently: "You are an official of the court. I happened to hear the conversations of several of you just now. I hope you don't mind."

Seeing that Phyllis had no malice, Lin Chunhong felt relieved and smiled and said, "Where am I an official in the court? Just a minor official."

Phyllis was secretly surprised and pointed at Li Chongde and asked, "Then the one who called you the Lord just now? Isn't the Lord the Lord the title of the imperial officials?"

Lin Chunhong and the other two looked at each other, smiled, but did not answer.

Phyllis was overjoyed. He heard that the Ming people were modest and did not want to admit directly that he was the imperial official and said, "If the imperial court intends to mint gold and silver coins, I have a way to turn the minting into a profitable transaction!"

Lin Chunhong was very interested and asked, "I wonder what sir can do?"

Phyllis stammered for a long time before saying, "If you tell me the method, you won't hire me..."

Lin Chunhong laughed: "If you don't tell me the method, how can I know that you have goods in your stomach and how can I hire you with confidence? Don't worry, as long as your method is effective, I promise you that I will never treat you unfairly!"

Phyllis couldn't, so he had to talk endlessly about his method, which made Lin Chunhong look at him with admiration.

Lin Chunhong had only one sentence in the end: "Follow me to Jingzhou, and I will hand it over to you in the future!"

Phyllis was overjoyed and immediately became the follower of the three of them, and followed the three of them to Songjiang.

After arriving in Songjiang, Lin Chunhong found that Songjiang's technology was not worthy of praise, but it only made a reputation, and workers' wages were very low, and a industrial chain was formed in the Songjiang area.

Lin Chunhong was bored and returned to Changshu to test Qu Shisi's attitude again. Lin Chunhong agreed to provide Qian Qianyi and Qu Shisi's master and apprentice with a donation of 6,000 taels of silver, and Qu Shisi agreed to run for Lin Chunhong.

Lin Chunhong got the matter done and immediately returned to Zhijiang to make complete preparations for the expedition.
