    The Sima family is a family that has been rooted in Zhenjiang for hundreds of years.

    They started doing canal business as early as the previous dynasty.

    Although the Grand Canal was running at that time, its scale was far from what it is now.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and war and chaos everywhere, making their business afraid to grow bigger, and it was just a small business at best.

    ????????????????????????????????????After Taizu established the kingdom and Dakang stabilized the situation, the Sima family began to slowly and seriously start shipping on the Grand Canal.

    After decades and generations of development, the Sima family has finally become one of the top water transport giants in Zhenjiang.

    As we all know, Zhenjiang is a very important hub in the southern section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is also the location of the Yangtze River waterway.

    Therefore, the Sima family's business is very large, and they have a large share of all kinds of passenger and freight transportation.

    Of course, the reason why they can develop and grow and have a good relationship with every water transport governor is inevitable.

    Zhenjiang is not far from Huai'an, where the Water Transport Governor's Mansion is located. Under their deliberate maintenance, even Lin Zhenyuan, who had served as the Water Transport Governor for more than ten years, looked at them with admiration and gave them a lot of convenience.

    Originally, relying on the big tree of Lin Zhenyuan, the Sima family developed smoothly and even wanted to do some other business.

    Who would have known that the situation suddenly changed, and Lin Zhenyuan, the governor of water transportation who had a reputation for being extremely tough, was actually surrounded by the imperial army in Huaiyin and escorted directly to the capital.

    The moment they received the news, the Sima family knew that Lin Zhenyuan was dead.

    Like many water transport governors, it is impossible to return to the governor's mansion in Huaiyin.

    Originally, they had nothing to fear, and were still actively exploring who would be the next governor of water transportation, so that they could invest in advance.

    After all, the cooperation with the Governor of Water Transport is just business, and they will recognize whoever is in this position.

    If someone is not here, they can give some travel expenses if the outcome is good, but if the outcome is not good, they will immediately pretend not to know him.

    But then, Liu Renhuai, the governor of Jiangnan who was responsible for the cleanup, killed 257 water transport officials in one go, and exiled more than 900 water transport officials. Fifty-seven business owners were arrested, and all goods and property were confiscated.  , which shocked the entire Jiangnan.

    Especially the Sima family.

    They are also a family that has a very close relationship with Lin Zhenyuan. Some of those who were raided and arrested may not have as close a relationship as them.

    So they were all in panic all day long, but they didn't dare to resist or escape.

    In Jiangnan, Liu Renhuai was half the sky. Not to mention a mere Sima family, even the top ten families put together could be killed by Governor Liu with one finger.

    No surprise at all.

    This kind of panic lasted for more than two months, and then another bolt from the blue came.

    The name of the new governor of water transportation is Miao Yan.

    Miao Heizi!

    This ruthless man, one of the most famous ministers of the Legalist family, once burned to death more than a hundred people including the former prince's concubine and younger brother, and even almost beat a prince and a prince to death!

    He is not only the governor of water transportation, but also the "temporary imperial envoy to investigate and deal with illegal crimes", which means that he has more terrifying power than Liu Renhuai.

    What is this power used for?

    Of course, I¡¯m here to continue cleaning up the water transportation yamen and continue to dig out the shady stories inside!

    The Sima family immediately knelt down.

    Their parent, Sima Chen, immediately went to the governor's office to plead guilty, but Miao Yan didn't even see him.

    It happened several times in a row.

    Three more months passed like this, and under the watchful eyes of the whole Jiangnan, Miao Yan still made no move to conduct an investigation.

    On the one hand, he only actively laid off those hard-working cavalrymen, and on the other hand, he began to reorganize the shipyard of the Governor's Office of Water Transport, and by the way, he stuffed all the 20,000 liberated cavalrymen into the shipyard.

    Then Miao Yan himself spent more time riding a horse-drawn carriage to inspect various water transport terminals, checkpoints, checkpoints, outposts, etc. in the Jiangnan area. He constantly became familiar with each link and greatly adjusted the overall operation of the water transport yamen.  mechanism.

    But the Sima family has never dared to take it lightly.

    Just when they were feeling anxious and being tortured, they suddenly heard the news that King De, Crown Prince Yi, County Lord Su and other members of the clan wanted to visit Jiangnan, and they immediately grasped the news keenly.  Chance.

    Don't say anything else, Shan alone??  "

    "Nonsense! You all know that he didn't collect it for himself. Of course he is not afraid of rumors." Liu Mingqi said, "Besides, you are not giving gifts! This is the fine paid for operating in violation of laws before! This is called self-inspection, and it belongs to  Isn¡¯t it good to actively cooperate with Master Miao¡¯s work?¡±

    ¡°Is this¡­wouldn¡¯t this be too shameless?¡± Sima Jin asked.

    "If you are not thick-skinned, why don't you take the initiative to reconcile with Mr. Miao?" Liu Mingqi said seductively, "Although this is a bit embarrassing, you can get benefits! Mr. Miao has been in Jiangnan for so long, and you must be the first one to come to your door automatically.  of.

    Firstly, you can play a good leading role, and secondly, you can also gain his appreciation for this. By the way, you can get on this big ship!

    Mr. Sima, I believe you don¡¯t need to say more, you all should know that Master Miao¡¯s ship is completely different from Lin Zhenyuan¡¯s broken ship!

    This is a serious future pavilion elder, an absolute candidate for prime minister, at least a deputy prime minister!  For such a person, even if he is not selfish, as long as he does not target you, isn't that a pretty good result?  "

    "Well¡­¡­"

    It was obviously the first time for Sima Jin to hear such a theory. At first he thought it was absurd, but after careful consideration, he found it quite reasonable.

    Liu Mingqi stood up and patted his shoulder, "Actually, what matters is not whether you should be punished or not, but that you should turn from passive to active, take the initiative to seize this opportunity, and get on the line with Master Miao! Do you think that everyone should be punished?"  Can you gain Lord Miao's appreciation? If someone else beats you to it, do you think there will be such an opportunity?"

    Sima Jin quite agrees with these words.

    Business people certainly know the importance of seizing opportunities.

    Liu Mingqi is right.

    If you take the initiative, you will definitely be laughed at for being timid, but this can resolve a lot of troubles.

    Especially when you are facing a super boss, you should not take it lightly, you should actively approach him.

    With Liu Mingqi, a person who knows Miao Yan, speaking such analytical words, the problem that has troubled Sima Jin for a long time finally has some signs of breaking through the darkness!

    Turn passivity into initiative!

    ¡°Tsk, tsk, King De is indeed a saint. Any word like this is so appropriate and thought-provoking!

    The Sima family chose to spend a lot of money to befriend him this time. It was indeed a correct decision!
