Chapter 2775

"This Zhu Zian... is really a formidable person!"

While reading the opinions on handling water transportation affairs written by Zhu Zian, Li Qingyang sighed to himself: "If Ming Dynasty really had the execution ability he expected, how could it have declined to this point in just a few decades?"


Zhu Zian did not completely follow Li Qingyang's previous instructions and send the Cao Kun case files directly to the archives. Instead, he carefully formulated a plan to deal with the current situation of water transportation affairs.

Zhu Zian pointed out that due to the serious shortcomings of the water transportation system, it would not produce significant results if the parties were to initiate litigation through the Caofu Yamen or the higher-level Ming court agencies. This matter must be negotiated by Haihan's diplomatic department, and the details of the case must be submitted to Mingting, and the Mingting should be urged to investigate deeply and deal with those involved in the case.

If necessary, the Ming court's power to raise grain in the south of the Yangtze River could be used as a blackmail. If the water transportation system could not be inspected, Haihan would directly suspend the process of transporting grain from the south to the north. If the Gyeonggi area cannot receive sufficient food supply, then the Ming court, which is already an empty frame, may soon be completely disintegrated. And those officials in the capital who have no hope of promotion and are traitorous may try to make the Ming court more capable. He continued to linger and chose to cooperate with Haihan's demands on water transportation matters.

But in Li Qingyang's view, Ming Ting simply did not have such execution ability, and Zhu Zian did not consider the risks of administering such strong medicine at all.

It would be lucky if the Ming court could still control the water transportation system and adjust it through administrative orders. However, if the Ming court's measures are still ineffective, whether it causes the interruption of water transportation or the Haihan suspension of south-to-north grain transportation, it is possible. Let there be chaos in the north.

If the Ming Dynasty completely collapses, it will not only affect the Gyeonggi area, but also the large inland areas that have not been taken over by Haihan, which may fall into a state of disorder due to the cessation of the Ming Dynasty. When the world is in chaos, that is not what Haihan wants to see.

However, what makes Li Qingyang somewhat gratified is that Zhu Zian's plan is not all-out on the road of forcing the palace to be imprisoned, but also includes other measures.

First of all, Zhu Zian suggested increasing the intensity of maritime transportation from the coasts of Jiangsu and Zhejiang directly to Sunchonfu in Gyeonggi Province, so that more private goods can be transported to the Ming Dynasty-controlled areas by sea, and at the same time, vigorously promote the efficiency, convenience and cost advantages of maritime transportation in the area. In this way, to guide public opinion in the Gyeonggi region and put pressure on the Ming court and the water transportation system from the bottom up.

Although this may not yield immediate results, it is a smart approach. Haihan's professionalism in the field of propaganda is far beyond that of the traditional feudal dynasty. Zhu Zian must have fully realized this in the few months since he came to the south, so he specifically added propaganda methods to his opinions, which can be regarded as a living study. Put it to good use.

Secondly, Haihan should increase the recruitment of water transport boatmen to further reduce the capacity of the water transport system. The low-level water transport boatmen will not benefit from the corruption of the Cao government. On the contrary, they are also the targets of being squeezed by the Cao government, and they are often forced to bear the responsibility for the damage of materials during transportation. Responsibility, there are many people similar to Cao Kun's situation.

If Haihan can provide more well-paid job opportunities, it will surely attract a large number of shippers to work. By then, the water transport manpower will be insufficient and the entire system will not operate smoothly, which may also force the Ming Dynasty to adjust the existing transportation methods.

Li Qingyang didn't know that Zhu Zian had specifically asked insiders for advice on this yesterday. In his opinion, Zhu Zian not only realized the role of publicity methods, but also came up with the idea of ​​​​removing fuel from the bottom and replacing water transportation with sea transportation. He was simply self-taught. As far as he knew, Zhu Zian had no experience in officialdom before, so being able to draw up such a plan could only be called a gift. After Li Qingyang read the document, he also wrote some comments and then called the secretary in and asked him to arrange for the file to be transferred to the regional management committee. Since Zhu Zian is willing to take this matter seriously, he will not hesitate to provide young people with opportunities to perform. If the district management committee also believes that Zhu Zian's plan has merit, there will be follow-up arrangements.

At this time, Zhu Zian did not expect that his proposed solution would be appreciated by Li Qingyang, but he was greatly inspired after meeting with Shi Chengwu and others yesterday. If he did not sort out these opinions, he would really feel uncomfortable.

As for whether Li Qingyang would be dissatisfied because he didn't follow his ideas, Zhu Zian didn't think about it that much. Ning Zijing said that Li Qingyang was experienced and calm in dealing with things, and he also knew where he was coming from, so he would not be dissatisfied because of disagreements at work.

At lunch time, Zhu Zian specifically asked Zhou Shaoyuan when he would be free to take him to see the house. Zhou Shaoyuan was quite cheerful and said that after dinner, he could take advantage of his lunch break to check out the nearby vacant rooms. Zhu Zian readily agreed.

The two of them had lunch in a hurry, and Zhou Shaoyuan took Zhu Zian out of the side door. As he walked, he introduced to Zhu Zian: "Because there was such a nursing home in Xingxianfang in the past, there are not many wealthy families who are willing to live there. Here, the real estate prices have always been low, but if Mr. Zhu wants to find a deep residence, he has to go further.”

Zhu Zian responded: "I am alone in Hangzhou. There is no need to live in a deep house or compound. As long as life is convenient and close to the government office, it will be fine."

As Zhou Shaoyuan said, due to the fact that many elderly people, disabled people and beggars were accommodated in the past, the existence of the almshouse has seriously affected the real estate level of Xingxianfang. No big family is willing to purchase land here, and the social composition of the entire square has also changed. It is mainly populated by civilians, and even the infrastructure and supporting facilities here can only be considered to be below the average level in the city.

However, now that Haihan has moved away from the nursing home, and a government office has settled in Xingxianfang, it will definitely have a positive effect on the living environment here in the long run.

Zhou Shaoyuan showed Zhu Zian two places, both of which were courtyards with mixed households. This kind of large courtyard full of fireworks was obviously a bit unfamiliar to Zhu Zian. After seeing it, his expression was very solemn, and he didn't say whether it was good or bad. I just asked Zhou Shaoyuan if he had any other options.

Zhou Shaoyuan saw this and naturally understood that Zhu Zian did not pay attention to these two places. However, this was also what he expected. If Zhu Zian could tolerate the environment in the courtyard, he would doubt whether the identity of the former nobleman was true or false.

Besides, Zhu Zian's position in the Special Liaison Office would not allow him to live in such an environment. However, Zhou Shaoyuan specially arranged the places with poor environment in front, thinking of the effect of suppressing first and then promoting, which may make it easier to communicate. Some.
