Doctor of the Great Song Dynasty: In the beginning, Li Qingzhao and Li Qingzhao made a private decis

Since the Yellow River has become an above-ground river, the flow direction of the Grand Canal is divided into two sections by the Yellow River. South of the Yellow River, the Grand Canal flows south, and north of the Grand Canal, the Yellow River flows north.

Fan Zheng took the Shenzhou boat and went south along the Grand Canal. In just over ten days, he reached the mouth of the Yangtze River.

"Is this the Yangtze River?"

Li Qingzhao was riding on a dragon boat and looked at the wide Yangtze River. He couldn't help but be shocked. The Yangtze River is so wide, and the ships here are bigger than the ships on the canal. So how wide should the so-called sea be, and how should sea ships be? Majestic, no wonder the Xianghui attaches great importance to water transportation.

"Yes, this is the Yangtze River!"

Fan Zheng said excitedly that after crossing the Yangtze River, it was just a short distance from Liangzhe Road.

At the same time, the news that Fan Zheng was serving as the transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang had long spread on the roads between Zhejiang and Zhejiang, causing an uproar.

"What? Your Majesty is so stupid that he appointed the evil doctor Fan Zheng as a treacherous minister!"

Tan Hong, the prefect of Hangzhou, snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty, please be careful. News has come from your residence. Officials have appointed Fan Zheng as the transfer envoy to Zhejiang Province. Firstly, he will build Songjiang Prefecture into a world shipping center, and secondly, he will control the increasingly serious epidemic of potbelly disease!" The official on the side reminded.

Tan Hong snorted coldly: "Suhu is famous all over the world. This is known to the whole world. Huzhou and Suzhou are the production centers in the south of the Yangtze River. Hangzhou is on par with Suhu. Zhejiang and Zhejiang are important places in the world. Evil Yi Fanzheng is only in his twenties, and although he is somewhat quick-witted, he has no experience in serving as the magistrate of a county, so how can he rule the two Zhejiang provinces?"

Tan Hong was quite dissatisfied with Fan Zheng. This time, the transfer envoys from Zhejiang and Zhejiang were transferred. According to the usual practice, the local prefect of Hangzhou should have taken over, and the one with the best chance was Tan Hong, the prefect of Hangzhou.

Now, an evil doctor Fan Zheng was suddenly parachuted in to serve as the transport envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang. Naturally, Tan Hong's dream came to nothing. He is already fifty-seven years old. If he cannot be promoted to the transport envoy before the age of sixty, I am afraid he will have no choice but to retire, and he will go up every year. Qian Guan's general Yang Lian Yin has no chance with him at all.

But Fan Zheng, a young boy, relying on the official's trust, actually occupied the magpie's nest and blocked his way to promotion. How could he be willing to do this?

"Don't worry, Lord Magistrate. The evil doctor Fan Zheng is just a young boy after all. He doesn't know the rules of the officialdom. Now he is a traitor. Officials from Zhejiang and Zhejiang will definitely make him look good." A lower official sneered.

The official circles of the Song Dynasty prided themselves on being clean-blooded, so naturally they looked down upon Fan Zheng, a treacherous official, let alone forced Fan Zheng away. They all had the opportunity to serve as transfer envoys between Zhejiang and Zhejiang.

"Okay, it won't be long before I let the evil doctor Fan Zheng leave from Liangzhe Road in despair." Tan Hong sneered.

………………

On the south bank of the Yangtze River in Suzhou, Fan Zheng finally arrived at the Liangzhe Road. As soon as he disembarked from Suzhou, he would officially take office.

"I've seen the transfer envoy before!"

A small boat rowed over, and six masters boarded Fan Zheng's divine boat.

"Excuse me!" Fan Zheng raised his hand and said.

"Thank you, Lord Transport Envoy!" All the Shaoxing masters looked at Fan Zheng's young face with emotion. Most of the people who could become Shaoxing Masters were frustrated in the scientific examination. However, Fan Zheng was able to serve as the transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang at a young age. His official career was so Prosperity is something they dare not even think about.

At the same time, their hearts were surging. Fan Zheng had reached such a high position at such a young age, and was highly trusted by officials. If he followed the evil doctor Fan Zheng, it might not be an opportunity for them.

"Fan knows that he is inexperienced and needs to rely on you for future government affairs." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

Among the Shaoxing masters, the leader solemnly said: "The transfer reassures you, I am waiting for you and I will ensure that you will not be deceived in any way."

Fan Zheng took a deep look at this person. This person was the master he specially named, named Bao Kang. Yes, this person was the famous military advisor of Fang La after Bao Zheng.

Bao Kang is the fifth generation grandson of Bao Zheng, and he has no place for Enyin for a long time. Bao Kang failed the imperial examination many times and could only serve as a master.

Fan Zheng appointed this person as his military advisor. Firstly, he wanted to use Bao Zheng's reputation and Bao Kang's jealous character to rectify the officialdom of Zhejiang and Zhejiang. Secondly, he wanted to save Bao Kang from following the Manichean uprising in the future and ruining the reputation of the Bao family.

Of course, Bao Kang was also very capable, and he had had different aspirations since childhood. If Li Qingzhao hadn't compiled the opera "Chen Shimei" and made the Bao family famous, Fan Zheng might not have been able to hire Bao Kang.

"I have just taken office. From what you can tell me, where should I start?" Fan Zheng said calmly.

Bao Kang and other masters were shocked, and they immediately understood that Fan Zheng's exam was coming.

An old master, Yuan Sheng, raised his hand and said: "Your Excellency has just taken up the post of transshipment envoy. If the ship does not stop, we can take the dragon boat and continue southward along the canal, directly to Hangzhou, take control of the two Zhejiang provinces, and then display our grand plans."

"Master Yuan's words are very kind!"

The other masters nodded, this is indeed the safest method.

Bao Kang shook his head and said: "Although this method is safe, it is not the best. You must know that the officials of the two Zhejiang provinces are quite dissatisfied with the transfer envoy. If the transfer envoy goes directly to Hangzhou, I am afraid he will be passive."

"What about Master Bao's plan?" Fan Zheng asked.

In the past, he was the one who gave advice to Zhao Xu, but now he has six masters giving him advice. Not to mention how worry-free it feels.

Bao Kang thought for a while and said: "Since you must go to the post, why don't you land from Songjiang Mansion to take the post?"

"Songjiang Mansion landed to take office? Why is this?"

Fan Zheng couldn't help but flash his eyes and asked quickly.

Bao Kang said proudly: "Your Excellency is too young. Officials from both Zhejiang and Zhejiang will be dissatisfied if he suddenly becomes the transfer envoy. Suzhou and Huzhou and Hangzhou are still the most prosperous places in the two Zhejiang. They are the people who have the best chance to serve as the transfer envoy between the two Zhejiang. However, Songjiang Prefecture Otherwise, it is adjacent to the sea, the land is barren and prone to disasters, and the prefect of Songjiang is ranked lowest, so this person does not have much hostility towards you."

Fan Zheng felt something in his heart and nodded slightly.

"Furthermore, Fan Taicheng proposed to build Songjiang Prefecture into a world water transportation center. Once successful, Songjiang Prefecture will surely rise, from the lowest of the two prefects to the first of the two Zhejiang provinces. This is something that the Songjiang Prefecture cannot refuse at all. The temptation, that is to say, the current Songjiang prefect has become both prosperous and devastated."

After Bao Kang's analysis, the other five masters were also persuaded to take office starting from Songjiang Prefecture. Although the journey was long, there were many benefits, allowing Fan Zheng to regain Songjiang Prefecture and initially establish a foothold in Zhejiang and Zhejiang.

"Okay, then let's land from Songjiang Mansion!"

Fan Zheng said firmly.

At that moment, Fan Zheng's Shenzhou immediately set off towards Songjiang Mansion.

"What! The master of the transfer envoy did not land, but sailed to Songjiang Mansion!" When the Suzhou prefect learned about Fan Zheng's itinerary, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Suzhou is the hometown of Fan Zheng. When Fan Zhongyan was the prefect of Suzhou, he purchased thousands of acres of fertile land and established a charity village in Suzhou. Moreover, Suzhou was the first stop for successive transfer envoys to take office.

But this time, Fan Zheng did the opposite and chose Songjiang Mansion, the poorest place, as the first stop for landing. Why doesn't this make him think too much?

"Could it be that the evil doctor Fan Zheng has noticed the anomalies in the officialdom of Zhejiang and Zhejiang?" Suzhou magistrate wondered in his heart.

The master on the side smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, it is said that the evil doctor Fan Zheng hired six Shaoxing masters at once, and one of them is the most famous Bao Kang in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"

"Bao Kang, after Bao Zheng?" the Suzhou magistrate asked with a flash in his eyes.

Obviously, he had also heard of Bao Kang's name.

The master on the side nodded and said: "The evil doctor Fan Zheng acted like this, obviously he was prepared for it. The evil doctor Fan Zheng is a popular figure in the official family, his father is the prime minister of the dynasty, and Suzhou is where Fan's righteous village is located, and the prefect Why should you follow Tan Hong and harm the evil doctor Fan Zheng?" the master on the side said earnestly.

The Suzhou prefect immediately hesitated and snorted coldly: "It depends on the ability of the evil doctor Fan Zheng. If he is really a fool, then I don't mind competing for the position of the transshipment envoy."

The Shenzhou traveled downstream and reached the Huangpu River in less than a day.

"Husband, Songjiang Mansion has arrived!"

Following Li Qingzhao's cry of surprise, Fan Zheng walked out of the cabin and saw his Shenzhou vehicle parked on the wide river.

"Is this the Huangpu River?"

Looking at the endless plains and tidal flats in front of him, Fan Zheng recalled the high-rise buildings on both sides of the strait, and couldn't help but feel a sense of change.

"Transshipment makes you wise! The Huangpu River is deep and wide, and it is adjacent to the Yangtze River with gentle water. It is indeed a natural and excellent port." Bao Kang said excitedly after returning from ashore for exploration.

In this era, the scale of sea-going ships was not too large, and the water flow of the Yangtze River was large. If the water was too strong during the flood season, it would not be a good port.

As the last tributary of the Yangtze River, the Huangpu River is the best port. It not only has abundant water, deep water, wide river, but also gentle water flow, making it a natural haven.

"Lord Fan is wise!"

Other masters also complimented him.

Before that, they had doubts about Songjiang Prefecture becoming the world's shipping center. But after seeing the advantages of the Huangpu River with their own eyes, combined with the world's water transportation map in the Di newspaper, they were immediately excited. This was indeed the chosen place.

"It's just that this place is too desolate. If you want to realize your vision, you still need a lot of funds." A master who is good at financial management frowned.

The two sides of the Huangpu River in front of us are a barren land. If we want to become the world's water transportation center, the money required will probably be astronomical.

Fan Zheng waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I brought five million yuan of flying money with me on this trip, and soon businessmen from all over the world will give us money."

All the masters nodded in agreement and said that once the Huangpu River Estuary becomes the world's water transportation center, it will definitely attract merchants from all over the world, and by then the place will surely make a fortune every day.

"I believe that before long, a brand new city will rise here, a merchant's city." Bao Kang said with emotion.

"After all, our government governs the country according to the law. If this place is a city dominated by merchants, I am afraid it will be criticized in the future!" The old master frowned.

The other masters also nodded. They had studied sages all their lives. Although they had not passed the imperial examination, they were very resistant to businessmen.

Bao Kang heard this and said disapprovingly: "So what? As long as it can bring taxes to the court, Bao doesn't believe that the court will give up this piece of fat!"

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "What Mr. Bao said is reasonable. This place will definitely gather the Song Dynasty and overseas business travelers in the future, providing a steady stream of tax revenue for the Song Dynasty. No matter how dissatisfied the government and the public are with it in the future, they will not abandon it."

The other masters couldn't help but frown and said: "But if this happens, this dissatisfaction will be transferred to the adults, which will be detrimental to the adults for a long time."

This time, even Bao Kang couldn't help but frown. As masters, their first priority was their employer's career.

Fan Zheng waved his hand and said: "So you should avoid suspicion. This place is adjacent to the sea and will definitely be the capital of merchants in the future. Fan decided to build a separate city here and call it Shanghai City!"

"Shanghai City?"

All the masters sighed slightly, the name Fan Zheng was indeed worthy of the name, but his name contained the consciousness of the merchant sea, and I am afraid that he will be impeached in the future.

"Of course, in order to avoid suspicion, Fan decided to use a homophonic pronunciation and call it Shanghai City!" Fan Zheng changed his words.

"Shanghai City!"

The eyes of all the masters lit up and they couldn't help but clapped their hands and applauded. In this way, they not only had the same pronunciation, but also could avoid future troubles.

Fan Zheng continued: "Furthermore, this place will be a capital of merchants in the future, and the money will be made every day, and every inch of land is worth every inch. After all, the imperial court has invested five million yuan, so it is natural that the imperial court should be rewarded. I, It was decided to nationalize all the best land in Shanghai. In the future, the court can make a lot of money just by collecting rent every year. "

Fan Zheng naturally understood the importance of the city of Shanghai in the future. Once the shipping boom broke out, the land prices here would skyrocket. Instead of taking advantage of the merchants, he might as well take this opportunity to nationalize this piece of fat.

Bao Kangjie exclaimed: "Your Excellency is wise. In the future, the land price in Shanghai will be comparable to Bianjing. The rent of the port alone is an astronomical figure. What's more important is that this money is not a one-time payment, but every year. It is said that eating people is soft-spoken and taking advantage of others is short-handed. Naturally, no one in the imperial court dares to challenge you because of the huge amount of money you have created. "

The housing prices in Bianjing City are the highest in the world. A slightly larger house can cost thousands of dollars, and some mansions with large areas are even worth tens of thousands of dollars. When Shanghai develops in the future, it will definitely be on par with Bianjing. The value of controlling so much of the most elite land will probably far exceed the five million dollars invested by the imperial court.

Fan Zheng waved his hands and said: "Fan is forced to do this. After all, this place is a barren land. If merchants come, they will be disappointed when they see it. As a last resort, Fan can only adopt the strategy of building a nest to attract the Phoenix, and first move the city of Shanghai and the docks The construction will not only reduce the burden on businessmen, but also allow Shanghai City to be built as quickly as possible. "

As the saying goes, planting a sycamore tree will attract phoenixes. However, planting a sycamore tree takes a certain amount of time to grow, and Fan Zheng simply doesn't have that much time.

According to the rules of the Song Dynasty, he could serve as the transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang for a maximum of three years. It was impossible for the city of Shanghai to develop slowly. The only way was to adopt the strategy of building nests to attract phoenixes in advance, and even the phoenix nests were built in advance. .

This not only allowed the city of Shanghai to develop at the fastest speed, but also provided for future layout and added a large amount of money to the court.

"A plan to build a nest to attract the phoenix!"

All the masters were convinced that the name of the evil doctor Fan Zheng was indeed not in vain, and they were convinced by such a strange plan. (End of chapter)
