Open chapter

本年夏間，臣於驗收海運之暇，遵照總理衙門函示，商令浙局總辦海運委員知府硃其昂酌擬輪船章程。 This past summer, while inspecting the receipt of the sea-transport tribute, I followed instructions from the Zongli Yamen and directed Prefect Zhu Qi'ang, the Zhejiang bureau's chief commissioner for sea transport, to draft regulations for steam navigation.

當令硃其昂回滬設局招商。 Zhu Qi'ang should be sent back to Shanghai to set up the bureau and recruit merchant investors.

是年冬，招商局成立，以知府硃其昂主其事，道員盛宣懷佐之。 That winter the company was formally established, with Prefect Zhu Qi'ang in charge and Circuit Intendant Sheng Xuanhuai as his deputy.

其昂以道員胡光墉、李振玉等招徠商股，入貲者極為踴躍，宣懷亦援粵人唐廷樞、徐潤董局事。 Zhu enlisted Circuit Intendant Hu Guangyong, Li Zhenyu, and others to solicit merchant investment, which met an enthusiastic response; Sheng brought in the Cantonese merchants Tang Tingshu and Xu Run to manage company affairs.

光緒元年，鴻章奏獎其昂等有差。 In 1875 Li Hongzhang memorialized for rewards to Zhu Qi'ang and his colleagues.

如唐廷樞、硃其昂之被參於前，徐潤、張鴻祿之敗露於後，皆其明證。 The impeachment of Tang Tingshu and Zhu Qi'ang and the later exposure of Xu Run and Zhang Honglu offer clear proof.
