Chapter 1111 Untitled!

Therefore, it is difficult to expect the central government to allocate money for this transfer to Huainan. Even if the central government can allocate some money, the amount is definitely not comparable to the last transfer to Ji and Yu...

Thinking of this, Murong Yuliang's expression became serious. Although the situation before him was not optimistic, decades of ups and downs in officialdom had accumulated rich and valuable experience for Murong Yuliang!

With these experiences, Murong Yuliang has some idea about the situation in Huainan!
Although I won't get much money from Marshal Guan, but if I ask for some supplies or preferential policies, the Marshal will probably not be stingy!

Although he was in Yujing, Murong Yuliang had always been paying close attention to the court's movements. He knew that although Ye Mingsheng had not yet officially made the decision to tour the south, the tour was most likely a certainty!
Therefore, Murong Yuliang also boldly guessed Ye Mingsheng's psychology. He felt that during this southern tour, Ye Mingsheng would definitely ask merchants in Jiangnan to invest in other places in the Great Zhou to help the development of various places!

In Murong Yuliang's view, this is a very important historical opportunity for the development of Huainan at present. Huainan and Jiangnan are separated by a strip of water, and the two places have always had very close economic and political exchanges over the past hundreds and thousands of years!

During the years when Xu Zhaojie was ruining Huainan, countless wealthy people and common people in Huainan fled to the south of the Yangtze River. Now that Huainan wants to develop, the first thing it needs is for these common people who fled there to return to Huainan and devote themselves to the development and construction of their hometown...

If you want the people who have fled to come back, you can't just do it with empty promises, you have to let people see some benefits!
Murong Yuliang also has some ideas about this, such as setting a deadline first, for example, giving one acre of good land to those who return home within two months, giving three years of tax exemptions to those who return home within three months, and renting some farm tools for free and giving some food after half a year!
Murong Yuliang believed that with such generous and substantial benefits, the people of Huainan who had fled would definitely be willing to return to their homeland. Not only the people of Huainan, but also the people of surrounding areas like Hebei, Henan, Qi and Lu would likely be attracted to settle down in Huainan.
In addition to attracting the people of Huainan who fled to Jiangnan, Murong Yuliang also considered accepting silver from Jiangnan to be the focus of his work in Huainan!
As the saying goes, one who is close to water gets to see the moon first. Huainan and Jiangnan are neighbors separated by a strip of water. The wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan know Huainan much better than Youyan, Qilu, Guanzhong, Yunbing, Yongliang and other places!
This is a huge advantage for Huainan, but there is a very important and critical issue here, that is, this matter must be supported by the Marshal. Otherwise, even if those wealthy businessmen want to invest in Huainan, they will be powerless without the Marshal's approval!

As long as we get the support of the Marshal by then, Huainan will have both people and money. With these two basic elements for development, all will be available. The remaining issue is the direction of development························
During the time in Hebei and Henan, because he had been paying close attention to the developments of the central government, Murong Yuliang was also clearly aware of Ye Mingsheng's idea of ​​developing the shipbuilding industry and maritime trade!

For this reason, Murong Yuliang also wanted to follow Ye Mingsheng's footsteps, but Hebei and Henan are inland provinces and not on the sea, but this did not stump Murong Yuliang.

As early as half a year ago, he had been brewing an idea. Although Hebei and Henan are not on the coast, neighboring Qi and Lu are on the coast, and Qi and Lu have many good ports!
Compared with Hebei, Henan, Shandong and Qilian, the development is relatively slow and the finances are even less abundant. Therefore, even if it has a good port, it is unable to develop it!
So the idea that Murong Yuliang came up with was for Ji and Yu to provide money to help Qi and Lu develop these good ports, taking advantage of Ye Mingsheng's desire to develop the shipbuilding industry and maritime trade!
However, although Murong Yuliang's idea was good, it could never be put into practice due to some practical reasons. And with Sun Jing'an being transferred to Youyan, this matter became even more distant!

Originally Murong Yuliang thought that his idea might be stillborn and felt a little regretful and helpless, but what people did not expect was that the world was so unpredictable, and he was actually transferred to Huainan as the governor...

As the saying goes, one should not meddle in matters not within one's jurisdiction. Since his transfer to Huainan is a foregone conclusion, although it is still a bit regretful, Murong Yuliang will not be able to interfere in the affairs of Ji and Yu. Huainan has a good port by the sea and some foundation in shipbuilding and foreign trade, which can be said to be exactly what Murong Yuliang wants!

Therefore, Murong Yuliang believes that the future development direction of Huainan must be shipbuilding and foreign trade. They can cooperate with the Second Manufacturing General Administration to build a factory in Huainan. In this way, some of the goods produced by the Second Manufacturing General Administration can be directly transported to Southeast Asia and even farther areas!
For this reason, Murong Yuliang also wanted to ask Ye Mingsheng for policies to provide tax incentives for the shipbuilding industry and some businesses engaged in foreign trade. In this way, the costs of the businesses would be lower and their competitiveness in overseas trade would be stronger!

When these products from the Great Zhou completely occupy the overseas market, we can then strengthen tax control and get a piece of the pie!

After thinking for an incense stick of time, Murong Yuliang came up with many good ideas, which made him full of confidence in his transfer to Huainan!

Murong Yuliang believed that as long as Ye Mingsheng gave him high support and trust and allowed him to have the maximum right of self-determination in Huainan, he would be able to make the changes in Hebei and Henan appear in Huainan within a few years and give Ye Mingsheng a satisfactory answer····························
However, in addition to developing Huainan, Murong Yuliang also has some little ideas of his own. He plans to meet with Jiang Yuyan before the order to transfer him to Huainan is officially issued!
Murong Yuliang knew that Jiang Yuyan was very concerned about Rishengchang's banknote business. This woman was not only satisfied with expanding Rishengchang's business to Qi and Lu, she also wanted to expand Rishengchang's business to other provinces!

Therefore, if I were transferred to the post of governor of Huainan, I could decide to allow Rishengchang's banknote business to enter Huainan, so that I could use Rishengchang's financial resources to help Huainan develop!
Today's Rishengchang Bank is no longer the small bank it was when it was first established. Now, the savings absorbed by Rishengchang Bank in the two regions of Qilu, Hebei and Henan are more than that of Dadongsheng Bank, and the total savings amount exceeds one million taels of silver! Although the savings of Rishengchang Bank are mainly used to serve the provincial governments of Jiyu, Qilu and Hebei, some short-term turnover can still be provided to Huainan. With their help, it is more conducive to Murong Yuliang's work in Huainan.

In addition to being beneficial to work, allowing Rishengchang Bank to enter Huainan can also win over Jiang Yuyan. This incident can be said to have made Murong Yuliang very touched.

Under Ye Mingsheng's warning of indifference, Murong Yuliang felt that the family needed to slow down and might have to lie dormant for a while!
Although Jiang Yuyan is just a businessman in name, she is actually Ye Mingsheng's lover. The Rishengchang Bank controlled by Jiang Yuyan is also given important economic functions by Ye Mingsheng. To be honest, Murong Yuliang even suspects that Ye Mingsheng asked Jiang Yuyan to monitor him.

Therefore, Murong Yuliang believed that Jiang Yuyan could have some influence on Ye Mingsheng. Therefore, Murong Yuliang also wanted to win over Jiang Yuyan and let her say a few good words for himself and the family in front of Ye Mingsheng, so as to ease the current situation and make the situation of the Murong family look less passive...
·······························
·······························
Just as Murong Yuliang was thinking about how to develop Huainan and help his family get out of its current predicament, in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, his eldest nephew Murong Zhengshan was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the hazy drizzle outside the window.

Although his eyes were looking at the drizzle outside, Murong Zhengshan's thoughts had already left Jiangnan!
As the Fengwu Army entered Jiangnan a few months ago, things gradually deviated from Murong Zhengshan's plan. Murong Zhengshan was quite helpless about this, but under the torrent of history, he could only watch helplessly!

As the saying goes, if you are here, you should make the best of it. Although the plan to peacefully take over Jiangnan has failed, Murong Zhengshan has also adapted to the changes in the situation and made certain modifications to his plan!

For Murong Zhengshan, although the Murong family could no longer gain the great merit of helping the Fengwu Army to peacefully take over Jiangnan, the Murong family still made a significant contribution to the Fengwu Army's capture of Jiangnan and the defeat of the Zhennan Army led by Xu Zhaojie. There is no doubt that Murong Zhengshan and his family are both heroes of the Fengwu Army!
One of the important reasons why the Fengwu Army was able to sweep across the country in such a short period of time and do so well so quickly was because of its clear rewards and punishments!
So even though he was still recuperating in Jiangnan at that time, Murong Zhengshan was already thinking about what reward he should ask for from Ye Mingsheng...
At that time, Murong Zhengshan believed that although he had made great contributions to the Fengwu Army, on the one hand, he was a commoner without an official position, and on the other hand, he was only in his early twenties, which was still very young in the officialdom where old men were everywhere, so it was basically impossible for him to rise to the top overnight!
So since he couldn't reach the top overnight, Murong Zhengshan paid more attention to his job function, and wanted to seek a position for himself that was not very high in rank, but had great actual power and a certain influence!
However, in the Fengwu Army and the Yijing court, positions that can meet Murong Zhengshan’s requirements are almost rare!

After some careful study, Murong Zhengshan thought that serving as an attendant to Ye Mingsheng would just be able to meet his requirements!

Although the rank of the attendant officers is not high, the current director of the Attendant Department, Ye Cheng, is only a fifth-rank official, which is similar to the rank of the Yuanwailang of various departments!
But even so, bigwigs in the court like Cui Shao, Gu Sansi, He Jingyun, and the commander-in-chief in the army were also friendly when they saw Ye Cheng, and would not show any neglect·····························
After all, Ye Cheng is close to Ye Mingsheng and is also responsible for arranging Ye Mingsheng's daily work schedule. Ye Cheng has the right to decide when you will report to Ye Mingsheng and when you will let Ye Mingsheng see your memorial!
And the most important thing is that as attendants, you always follow Ye Mingsheng. As long as you perform well, Ye Mingsheng will notice it!
Just like Ye Cheng’s predecessor Qi Dechao, who was released from the post of aide-de-camp, within a few years he has become the garrison commander of Luoan!
Therefore, as long as he becomes an attendant officer beside Ye Mingsheng, his future in the Yijing court can be said to be very bright!
Because of this, Murong Zhengshan also set his sights on the position of aide-de-camp, and even began to plan how to talk to Ye Mingsheng!

However, just when Murong Zhengshan had almost recovered from his injuries in Jiangnan and was preparing with great confidence to go to Yijing to become Ye Mingsheng's aide, a letter from home made Murong Zhengshan feel like he was falling into an ice cave!

This family letter came from Murong Zhengshan’s elder brother, Murong Hui, who was then the Censor of Youyan in Great Zhou. In the letter, Murong Hui told Murong Zhengshan that the matter might have been exposed...

Although Murong Hui believed that the Marshal might not have any substantial evidence, the situation would become very difficult as long as the Marshal began to doubt. So for the sake of Murong Zhengshan's safety, Murong Hui suggested that Murong Zhengshan should not return to Yijing for the time being. He should go out and hide at this time to see how the situation develops!
It will not be too late to make a decision after the situation becomes clear. After careful consideration, Murong Zhengshan decided to follow the suggestion. He did not return to Yijing as planned, but quietly came to this remote town in Huainan and hid there!

Although he was in this small town, Murong Zhengshan was also collecting news from the outside world. A few days ago, news came from his family that his brother Murong Hui was demoted to Anqing, and his second uncle Murong Yuliang, who was originally expected to be transferred to the central government, had not made any moves!
After hearing this news, Murong Zhengshan realized that his brother Murong Hui's guess had probably become a reality!

His brother Murong Hui and second uncle Murong Yuliang both paid the price for his plan. Thinking of this, Murong Zhengshan felt regretful!

If he hadn't been so self-righteous, then his second uncle Murong Yuliang might have become one of the six ministers, and his brother Murong Hui might have become the vice minister of the Ministry of Justice...
