    "Being a housekeeper for the master is better than any official. I'd better keep these fifty taels for myself." Gao Fu hurriedly stuffed the money into his purse, as if Zhou Shixiong would rob him of his money.

    "You're quite good at talking. That's good. I'm not qualified as an official, so I can continue to be your butler." Zhou Shixiong picked up a notice he had just written and said, "Gao Fu, take this notice to Ma Sicheng.  Ask him to post notices all over Lang Son City as soon as possible. This is my first notice to calm the people. If it is not done properly, your salary will be deducted for a year."

    When Zhou Shixiong was the governor of Beijing Camp, he didn't have the opportunity to play with the three tricks of the new official's appointment. He had no scruples in Lang Son Palace, and of course he wanted to enjoy the fun of power.  The first thing to be burned was environmental sanitation. He didn't want to see the magnificent sight of feces and urine all over the streets.

    Zhou Shixiong knew that Lang Son Prefecture was not Taiyuan Prefecture, so he could not ask the people of Lang Son Prefecture to clean the public health voluntarily in the name of the Buddha. It was necessary to establish a cleaning department, and the first cleaning department chief was Shang Yueqing, the fourth wife of the palace owner.  .  The official is Li Zhenhe, the fifth wife.

    The eldest lady Zhu Ying took over the Lang Son City Guards, and Son Ngoc Minh was transferred to Bac Giang City to serve as the commander of the army. He was still nominally the top military general of Lang Son City.  However, Shan Yuming himself knew that fighting for power in the main palace of the palace lord was more difficult than fighting a dog for shit. Being able to manage half of the troops in Beiji Palace was already very good. One must know how to be content.

    Sisters Mo Lan and Mo Zhu became the head of the Craftsman Department of Lang Son Prefecture, and also supervised matters such as mining, bamboo and wood.  The five wives on the surface all work in the main office of Lang Son Palace, but their rights are not as great as Li Jie, because the financial power of Lang Son Palace is controlled by Li Jie, and if you want money, you have to report to her for approval.  Otherwise nothing will be accomplished.  Zhou Shixiong also transferred ten soldiers including Qi Chuge and asked them to assist Zhu Ying in controlling the troops of Lang Son Prefecture.

    Zhou Shixiong didn't hide all these actions from Ruan Fu Ajiang. He knew that his god-mother-in-law and aunt Qian's mother-in-law had given up her heart. As long as Zhou Shixiong could help her kill Ruan Fu's family to avenge her father's murder and brother's death, she would do anything.  Will care.

    Li Xiu and her son were both placed in Li Clan Villa, and other relatives of Nguyen Phuc Bao were also sent to Beiji City. Although this was not in line with Zhou Shixiong's initial plan, Ruan Phuc Ajiang insisted that Zhou Shixiong could only  Can take a step back.

    "Uncle Chen, I've kept you waiting for a long time." Zhou Shixiong first paid a visit to Chen Riyen, the head of Guangning Mansion. However, this title was a bit irregular. His adoptive father Ruan Fubao called him uncle Chen Riyen. Logically speaking, Ji Hongchang should call him Chen Riyen.  Nhat Nhat was his uncle, but Zhou Shixiong didn't know the relationship between Nguyen Phuoc Pao and Tran Nhat Nin, and took it for granted that Nguyen Phuoc Pao and Nguyen Phuoc Pao were equals.

    "Hongchang, you're welcome. I'm here to ask for something, just treat it as a transaction." Chen Riyi is still the same old-tempered person. He doesn't like to talk about anything when he talks about it.

    "Uncle, even if you speak frankly, Hongchang will never shirk what he can do." Just because the old man was the first to stand up and support Ji Hongchang, Zhou Shixiong should also have something to say.

    "I heard that Hong Chang wanted to build ships and operate shipping, and I was ready to get involved. I hope Hong Chang will not dislike me for being greedy for money." Chen Riyen had not thought about asking for anything in return, but Nguyen Phuc A Giang wrote him a long letter, which mentioned  The plan to visit Cat Hong Chang is to exchange a town in Lang Son Province for an island in Quang Ninh Province.  Of course, Chen Riyi knew that the islands in his hands were not worth much money. Ruan Phu Ajiang was willing to give up a town in exchange, which showed that he was very confident in Ji Hongchang's plan to engage in maritime trade.  The old man has no other hobbies, he only likes shiny silver. Since Ruan Phu and Giang are optimistic about Ji Hongchang's plan, why not take the opportunity to propose cooperation and make a fortune once the project is completed.

    Chen Richen¡¯s abacus was very precise and he took out an island as the capital for the investment. If Ji Hongchang really succeeded, there would naturally be nothing to say.  If it failed, he wouldn't lose anything. It was just a deserted island and not worth anything in the first place.

    "Oh, uncle is interested in doing sea trade?" Zhou Shixiong didn't know that Ruan Fu Ajiang had already told Chen Riyi, and he frowned and thought, how did the old man know?

    "Hongchang, don't think too much. It was your aunt who told me this. This is her handwritten letter." Chen Riyi smiled and took out Ruan Phuoc Ajiang's letter from his arms. Zhou Shixiong took it and read it, and then he knew the suspect who leaked the secret.  It¡¯s Nguyen Phuc A Giang.

    "How does uncle want to become a shareholder?" After reading the letter, Zhou Shixiong felt grateful to his aunt for his enthusiastic help, but also wanted to scold Ruan Phuc and Ajiang for being troublesome.  He had already made plans to establish a navy base in Dingli City, where he would arrange shipbuilding and military training. After taking care of the Nguyen Phuoc clan, he believed that the navy had taken shape and could seize Thang Long Mansion directly from Zheng Zai.  , pick any port or whatever.

    The reason for this idea is that building a ship is time-consuming and laborious. For a large ship that can sail on the sea, it takes several years to prepare the materials.  Of course, if you are willing to spend money to buy treated wood, it will not take that long.

    Zhou Shixiong wants to build a fleet that can roam Southeast Asia. Simply buying ships and materials is not enough. He must have his own shipyard.  Under this premise, sea trade and other things can only be done slowly.¡°I¡¯ll take Gaibao Island to acquire 30% of the shares, which is not a lot!¡± Gaibao Island is the largest of the four islands in Quang Ninh and the only inhabited island. It is only separated from the mainland by a strait.  Chen Richen's investment in this island shows that he is very sincere.

    "I'm afraid 30% is a bit high. I'm not a Hongchang philistine. Although my uncle's proposal to build an island is a big deal, building ports, docks, warehouses, etc. all require a lot of money. Hongchang estimates that he will have to invest millions.  Two taels of silver, three achievements is 300,000 taels. Although this money is not much, I believe it will not be used to buy an island." In business, since it is a business, of course you have to negotiate a price, would Zhou Shixiong tell Chen Richen, old man Chen,  Are you already so happy that you are hurt internally?

    "The young ones are awesome!" Chen Richen sighed and slowly began to fight back.  "Of course an island is not worth 300,000 taels. If we add the full support of my Chen family, it must be enough for this price!"

    "Please tell me, uncle, how can you fully support the law?" Although Zhou Shixiong was very satisfied with the price offered by Old Man Chen, he had the nerve to stop someone who wanted to increase the price.

    "More than ten years ago, my eldest son had the idea of ??building a port for shipping. He hoarded a batch of ship materials and planned to build his own ship. Unfortunately, he could not find a craftsman who knew how to build sea ships, so the matter was abandoned.  As far as I know, this batch of ship materials is worth one hundred thousand taels of silver. Now I will give you a deposit as a deposit. Do you think I can get 30% of the shares?" Chen Richen's condition excited Zhou Shixiong even more than contributing to the island.  Ship materials worth one hundred thousand taels of silver can build at least five or six thousand-material ships.

    These are not the things that make Zhou Shixiong the most happy. With this batch of shipping materials, the construction time of Zhou Shixiong's first fleet can be shortened by five years. This is what Zhou Shixiong values ????the most.

    "Okay, since Uncle Chen is so generous, Hongchang is too embarrassed to bargain with you. 30% is 30%." Zhou Shixiong simply got a bargain and acted like a good boy. He wrote a deed on the spot, and both parties joined forces to form a merchant fleet on behalf of their respective families.  Hongchang accounts for 70%, and Chen Riene accounts for 30%.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of expectation that the poorest and weakest lord of the Guangning Mansion would receive such a big gift. Zhou Shixiong was full of expectations for the second lord of the mansion, Fan Gandhi, hoping to make another profit.  Unfortunately, wishes are good but reality is nothing like that. What Van Gandhi brought was not good news, "Master Ji Palace, Nguyen Phuc Lok Min successfully took over the Nguyen Phuc clan and succeeded Nguyen Phuc Shou as the sixteenth head of the Nguyen Phuc clan."

    "This old thief Ruan Phuc Luo Min is just an outsider who handles the clan's business. How can he become the clan leader?" Zhou Shixiong didn't have time to go to Thang Long Mansion to settle accounts with him. He didn't expect the old fox to become the leader of the Ruan Phuc clan. He couldn't figure it out.  .

    "It is said that Zheng Zai strongly supported Nguyen Phuoc Lok Min, but I believe it is because neither A Giang nor Yen Bai province can monopolize Tuyen Quang province, which allowed this old fox to take advantage of the loophole." Van Gandhi did not know about the Au brothers, let alone  You may have guessed the real reason why Nguyen Phuc Lok Min came to power.

    Zhou Shixiong didn¡¯t have the heart to guess why Ruan Phuc Luo Min came to the top. He only knew that he had to move faster. He must not let Ruan Phuc Luo Min take the lead and fall into a passive and beaten situation, which would be troublesome.

    Zheng Lisheng was assigned to the end because Zhou Shixiong looked down on this guy. Since he had broken up with the orthodox heir, he didn't dare to raise troops to attack Shenglong Mansion.  he.

    "Palace Master Zheng, I heard that King Ping'an passed away, is it true or not?" Zhou Shixiong cursed Zheng Du to death as soon as he opened his mouth, but Zheng Lisheng, his biological son, nodded with a smile on his face, "Palace Master Ji's news is so well-informed.  This government also just learned about this news.¡±

    "I wonder what Palace Master Zheng has planned?"

    "I intend to convene the Zheng clan to discuss who should inherit the throne of King Ping'an. Zheng Zai is just a self-proclaimed prince and cannot be taken seriously." There is no big problem with the idea that Zheng Lisheng came up with, provided that Zheng Zhuang is unable to capture Yuebei Dynasty.  The problem is that Zheng Zhuang was not only able to capture the Yuebei Dynasty, but also eliminate the Li Dynasty. One can imagine how strong this Qingdu king was.

    Zhou Shixiong originally didn¡¯t want to pay attention to the dispute between Zheng Lisheng and Zheng Zai, but if Zheng Lisheng really followed his own ideas, he would probably only come back with one corpse when he arrived at Shenglong Mansion, and maybe not even the corpse.  Zhou Shixiong still needed the head of Beijiang Mansion to protect him from wind and rain, so he could only try his best to persuade him.  "Palace Master Zheng, please forgive Hongchang for talking too much. I'm afraid that Palace Master Zheng will really go to Shenglong Mansion to argue with Zheng Zai, which is exactly what he wants."

    "What's the meaning?"

    "I believe Palace Master Zheng knows better about Zheng Zai's character than I do. How could he miss this opportunity to remove obstacles? You can only throw yourself into a trap by doing so. There will be no second possibility." Zheng Lisheng did not take Zhou Shixiong's words to heart.  , smiled and waved his hand, "I have written down the advice of Palace Master Ji. This time I am going to Shenglong Palace for the funeral. Even if Zheng Zai is mad, he will not dare to touch a finger of my palace. There is no problem with safety."
