Chapter fifty-fifth through the south of the Yangtze River

Jinling Baosheng Store is a medium-sized dental shop located on the bank of the Qinhuai River. It is a market that specializes in buying and selling silk.

A yakushang specifically refers to those merchants or middle-aged merchants who discuss cooperation with buyers and sellers in the market, introduce transactions, and draw commissions, also known as brokers.

However, brokerage institutions like Yashang are not allowed to be opened by anyone. They must have a certain amount of assets as a guarantee. After the government issues tooth posts, they are business licenses, so they are qualified to do brokerage business.

The owner and shopkeeper of Baosheng Store is a young man in his thirties. He had just sent away two customers and received a commission. He sat down to have tea with satisfaction.

September is a good time for silk trading in Jiangnan, because according to the seasonal wind direction, it is usually voyages to the West after October and before March of the following year, and it is not suitable for long-distance voyages at other times.

He was wearing a clean long gown and looked like a scholar who was well-read in poetry, but his eyes were filled with a few traces of businessman's shrewdness.

A fat man wearing silk clothes and a big belly walked into the store panting. He was fifty years old, and his fat eyes narrowed into a line. He had a jade pendant hanging on his belt and a big gem ring on his hand, which had the temperament of a nouveau riche.

When the young man saw him coming in, he hurriedly stood up and walked to the door.

"Su Hongwen, nine days ago, we must rush to the western suburbs of Wansong Academy on the south bank of the west lake of Hangzhou City to find the shopkeeper of Sitong Inn. The secret code is a Class B training class, with important tasks arranged on it. Congratulations, our secret spies have finally been activated, so you must not delay things!" The other party said in a low voice.

After saying that, he turned around and left without saying a word.

Su Hongwen looked at the other party's back as he was leaving, and looked a little lost. He stood at the door for more than ten minutes before returning to the room.

His family has been from a small official who has been to the twelve guards since the reign of Emperor Chengzu and was selected as a secret spy. However, when the capital moved north, they were ordered to stay in Jinling City and continue to monitor the movements of the officials and military here. By the way, he was already the sixth generation.

By the generation of Su Hongwen's grandfather, the Jinyiwei had become eroded and his military pay was often withheld. Given that several generations had no tasks, his grandfather tried every means to raise money and used his relationship to apply for a tooth shop. Life was still fine.

Su Hongwen studied since childhood, but because of his identity as a secret spy, he was unable to take the exam. Because of his flexible thinking and good speaking skills, Baosheng Store has developed well in his hands. Until now, he not only lives a relatively rich life, but also married a beautiful wife and has a pair of children.

Su Hongwen really kept the mission of the secret spy in the Jinyiwei, but he didn't even have the most basic training except for the telling of his grandfather and father. At this time, he suddenly had a task and his thinking was in a mess.

Such situations are happening in many places in Southern Zhili, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong.

The students of the A-level training class also convey messages separately, which is called single-line contact, but the gathering place is Jinling and the secret code is A-level training class.

Yuezhou Jinyiwei Hundred Houses Office.

"Brothers, you are all secret spies of the Jinyiwei and have a special mission. However, due to the development of the situation, it has been passed down for several generations and has not been activated. This time, the commander's yamen specially selected it, which will give you important tasks and you will never have to be secret spies again!"

"Our Grand Commander, His Highness King of Song, decided to set up a naval fleet in Ningbo City to protect the waters of the Tianming Dynasty and protect merchant ships from voyage to the West. For this reason, we specially selected secret spies with coastal household registration to join the Navy's teaching brigade. This is a great opportunity for everyone to serve His Highness King of Song, the Grand Commander of the Jinyiwei!"

"The headquarters has assigned a 2,500 staff to Hangzhou Thousand Households, and our Yuezhou Thousand Households have been assigned 450 places this time. At the end of September, we must report to the Hundred Households, and then the official will lead the team to send you to the headquarters of the Jinyiwei Grand Guard of Yongcheng."

"I won't say much nonsense. Remember, joining the naval fleet is the order issued by the commander. The whole family of the disobedient is executed. The eight counties in Yuezhou are divided into nine teams. Each team escapes, and the heads of the whole team will fall to the ground!" The hundred households of Yuezhou's Hundred Houses summoned the selected secret spies to give a speech.

Such a situation is being performed in every 100 household in four regions. As long as you get serious about the peak, the efficiency of the work below will become extremely fast, because these 100 households have all gone to Beijing to write "work report"!

"See whether this is the execution ability. Once you decide to do it, you will implement it as quickly as possible. Our Jinyiwei now lacks such a style of conduct!" Zhu Ruisheng said in the carriage.

The four major maritime merchants are really not exposed in the Jiangnan region. In just three days, the military camp entered the construction stage.

There were endless ox, donkey, and horse carriages, transporting bricks, tiles, floor tiles, lime and other building materials to the construction site near Meishan Wharf.

Thousands of migrant workers digging trenches and trenches, carpenters are making doors, windows, beams and columns, and masons have begun to build the outer walls of the military camp.

The scene looks very lively.

Zhu Ruisheng comes here every day to take a look and is very satisfied with the progress of the project.

"I reported to the Grand Governor, and the Qianhu Institution of Hangzhou, Wu Qianhu sent people to report that the B-class training class was the Sitong Inn near Wansong Academy, which was a point of Qianhu Inn." Su Chongguang said.

"The construction of the military camp at the Grand Commander's Guard will be left to you and the 100 Households in Ningcheng. I will set off to Hangzhou tomorrow morning. Sister Liu is still living in Ningcheng. You have to take good care of her. The order here is a problem, so don't let anyone harass her." Zhu Ruisheng said.

Although Ningbo City is the territory of the Han family, the other three families also have great power. The so-called servants are domineering on the streets, and the government just pretends that they have not seen it. Beauties like Tian Liu can easily attract the covetousness of some bastards.

On the morning of the 7th, a group of people took a boat along the coastline, crossed Zhoushan Island, and then arrived at the entrance of the Qiantang River.

"If we do it this time, when the Jinling scene is over, we have time to see the Qiantang River Tide when we return to Ningbo City. It is said that it is very spectacular!" Zhu Ruisheng said at the bow of the boat.

He also watched the Qiantang River Tide in his previous life. The shocking scene at that time was deeply engraved in his heart, and the tide was once as high as six or seven meters.

"Watching the Qiantang River Tide, there was such a custom as early as the Tang and Song dynasties. The officials heard about his name for a long time, but they never had the chance to watch it. He asked the prince's Hong Fu to follow him to the south of the Yangtze River this time. If time permits, this scene is worth staying for half a day." Xiao Su said with a smile.
