Five hundred and thirtieth eight chapters Qingjiangpu

"Everyone in Xuzhou obeyed his orders. His father was the deputy chief of the yamen, the second chief of the father was the chief of the chief of the yamen, and his partner's father was the Qianhu of Xuzhou Wei. These people couldn't pour the water in Xuzhou's business, and there was no place to start."

Ma Chonghao frowned there and listened. He finally asked in a deep voice: "Ma Liu, we are not a storyteller. The storyteller opens his mouth and has 100,000 soldiers. He is a Xuzhou local stick and has 100,000 people in his hand? There are also three thousand servants? How many can the generals of the Nine Towns have in their hands? He will only make 3,000? You are someone I can trust. Even if you don't see it, I won't blame you, but you can't talk nonsense."

"Master, the little one is honest. When you took the little one out of the prison of Nanzhen Fushi, the little one had made a poisonous oath and would never hide it from the master. If the master did not believe what the little one said, the little one was willing to swear, or broke his arm." Ma Liu said solemnly.

Ma Chonghao waved his hand irritably and said, "You and I don't need to do these things. If you say so, wouldn't it be impossible to take it?"

Before Ma Liu could speak, Ma Chonghao said first: "It's just that many people will die, and maybe it will cause a lot of trouble. Afterwards, Empress Zheng can't protect us anymore and will be handed over to others to work in the south of the flower world."

"The current regulation cannot be controlled by Xuzhou General and Deputy General Langshan alone. Maybe the three provinces will need to suppress the war, and the grain transportation is still a must-have. Zhao Jin is also a definite figure in Pizhou. If the grain transportation is cut off, even if the king does not attend court, he will be alarmed." Ma Liu added.

Ma Chonghao frowned and said wonderingly: "How could he have made such a big situation with a remote village in Xuzhou? No one behind him can teach him?"

"Maybe there are two people. Zhao Jin's uncle joined the army everywhere, and later returned to Xuzhou with injuries and illness. Among Zhao Jin's brothers, there was Wang Zhaojing. The man's father was Wang Youshan, the censor of the Censorate. Wang Youshan was not a corrupt scholar or a native of Donglin who formed cliques and made profits. Instead, he had a good relationship with several people in the inner court. These people lived very smartly. This literary and military may be the origin of Zhao Jin." Ma Liu inquired in detail.

Ma Chonghao said "tsk": "That is, you can inquire so much. I hope that the bones in Nanjing are soft and they really can't do anything. If you have the chance, you really have to go and see if Zhao Jin is as great as you said. Thank you for your hard work this time, you will spend as much as you can, and then go to the counter to get 600 taels and find a boat in the Qinhuai River for a few days."

Ma Liuyi bowed and said, "Dutang, Zhao Jin should be cautious, and there should be chaos there. I am afraid it will not be smaller than Ningxia Xiaobai. Xiaobai is only nearly a thousand skilled archers and horses in his hands. How many officials have died in that matter?

Ma Chonghao waved his hand angrily and said, "I can save it. There are so many rich people in the south, so you don't have to focus on this family. You go down."

Looking at Ma Chonghao sitting there, Ma Liu wanted to say something else, but hesitated for a while and turned around, but before he could even walk to the door, he heard Ma Chonghao clapping his hands behind him. Ma Liu turned around and saw Ma Chonghao showing an extremely excited expression on his face, and waved to him to come forward.

"If the Tushang surnamed Zhao from Xuzhou fights against the chaos, he will definitely be in a situation of defeat in the end, right?"

Huai'an Cang is located in Qingjiangpu. Its name is Changying Cang on the official list. Although it is transported tens of thousands of ships every year, the grain stored in the warehouse can be no less than one million stones a year.

Such an important transportation hub and such a huge granary, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty also set up tariff cards in Qingjiangpu, collecting taxes, grain, and taxes. These items are the lifeblood of the Ministry of Revenue, so it is naturally necessary to have officials to take charge of it. The Yunnan Branch of the Ministry of Revenue is located in Qingjiangpu. Other divisions are just a seventh-rank chief, but a fifth-rank official must be placed here.

What’s even more interesting is that the population of Qingjiangpu is close to 600,000, accounting for almost three-fifths of the entire Huaian Prefecture population. Such a huge city is just a market in the official name of Shanyang County, Huaian Prefecture. At most, there is a patrol inspector and several minor officials, but there is no official’s nominal jurisdiction.

The magistrate of Shanyang County is only seventh-rank, and even the fourth-rank Huai'an prefect has no jurisdiction over the Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Revenue. In this way, this Yuanwailang is actually an official in Qingjiangpu.

There are power and benefits in the canal transportation and granaries, and there are two forces of Caoding and Ku soldiers who can also be driven by it. This Yuanwailang can also be regarded as power, money and soldiers. With these items, he will naturally become the master of Qingjiangpu. Of course, the local chambers of commerce, guilds and gangs in Qingjiangpu are another part of the statistical class, and everyone jointly manages the second prosperous place in Jiangbei.

In the Ming Dynasty, officials in Beijing were the most important. Although they had many benefits and were powerful in Qingjiangpu, those Qingliu scholars who pursued progress were still unwilling to come here. Those who could come here were older and hopeless. These people did not ask for any official voice, so they naturally had no scruples in doing things. The white and black ones never cared about it.

Not to mention this official from the Ministry of Household Department, the first lunar month of Qingjiangpu is the most leisurely time of the year. Needless to say, when the canal is unobstructed, when the canal is inconvenient to navigate, the warehouses often need to be repaired, the grain storage is dried, and the accounts are checked. They are also busy, and only in the twelfth lunar month will everyone have free time.

The rich and noble families gathered together at banquets, and the poor families tried their best to pass the New Year. The canal workers who stayed here went to have fun everywhere, while the kushu soldiers bought New Year's goods and handled the spots. They could manage this big granary. I don't know how much benefits they could get in and out, so they must be sure to stay in the next year.

In addition, there are also some people who are busy for the coming year. The southerners are not good at carriages and horses. The nearly 10,000 carriages and coachmen in Qingjiangpu are from Henan, Shandong, Xuzhou and Pizhou. The significance of these carriages is no worse than that of the cabbage ships and gubernators. A large number of folk merchants and travelers rely on them to go to various places in the north.

There are thousands of business travelers from the south to Qingjiangpu, so many people and so many goods. If these big trucks and drivers are allowed to recruit them on their own, they will definitely be extremely congested and confused. Not to mention it.

In addition to these, there is also a lot of grain deducted from the canal transportation. In addition to water transportation, these grains must also be transported to various places with blocked waterways through large trucks. This type of business requires someone to manage and operate.

First, I would like to thank several friends for their rewards, "Don't Move Like a Mountain, Kung Fu Sect, Mu Ming, Yuan Henry Zhen," and especially for their generosity.
