Noble son of the Hanmen (128)

Kang Chang was not summoned in at the first time, but waited quietly at the Hou Jian place.

Wu Chunlai, who had a relationship with him, recruited a little eunuch to serve tea on the side. He hadn't eaten breakfast today, and his hangover last night still hurt a little, so it would be best if he could drink some hot water. But when the hot tea came to his mouth, he put it down again.

Who knows when in the palace it will take, and what if you want to go to the toilet?

It's enough to mess things up once, and if you do it again, he'll have to die headlong.

He was sitting here, staring at the other side of the bead curtain, the emperor was meeting someone, a person he also knew, Wang Pingyao.

This old guy is really getting older, his voice is calm, and his tone is generous and powerful.

“…… The old man is still not used to the climate of the Northland, and it is always difficult for people to give up their homeland. If you can have a foothold in the south, you don't dare to do what he thinks. The Wang family is a family, and the people in the world are by no means idle in the eyes of the Wang family. The number of Ming Qi has been exhausted, the emperor adheres to the way of heaven, and the old man admires it in his heart. The royal family will assist the emperor in pacifying ......"

Before Kang Chang could finish listening, he couldn't help but snort softly. What is called not accustomed to the Northland, only expecting to have a foothold. Isn't it bargaining here? It means that the Wang family can also assist the emperor, but it is also conditional, that is, the Wang family is not moved to the foundation.

This old guy doesn't know where his confidence comes from? If the emperor agrees, his brain will twitch. These families are deeply involved with the court of the Ming Dynasty and King Zheng, which is treating the emperor as a soft persimmon.

stepping on two boats with such confidence can be regarded as a character.

There was only Wang Pingyao's voice inside, but Guo Chang didn't hear the emperor say a word.

Wang Pingyao also meant that the emperor was so consumed, so he heard a voice that was cold and not a little angry inside: "The Wang family has been in the south for many years, and I want to hear your thoughts." What do you think about the governance of the Southland?"

Wang Pingyao was stunned at first, and then he was happy. Whose hands the southern land falls into now depends on the attitude of the family. And the emperor's intention to consult the strategy of governing the southern land with such certainty is still unclear? This is the condition that he agreed to himself.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his heart snorted. There is no emperor who does not love face. I want to use myself, I want to beg someone, but I still can't pull my face. He didn't care about this, but told the emperor about the customs of the south.

The fourth master was not impatient, but listened patiently. I also ask a few words from time to time.

"I've heard that each family has a few seagoing vessels, and they have been in close contact with overseas countries. The fourth master asked suddenly.

Guo Chang was stunned when he heard it outside, and the emperor knew a lot. A wild boy from the countryside, who probably hasn't been to the south at all. But even such a secret thing is known.

More than a decade earlier, the Ming court banned maritime trade. But the profits of this maritime trade are really staggering, but they are repeatedly prohibited. Many of these big families are involved. The Wang family is the one who takes the lead here. It has the largest share. also relied on this to earn more silver, otherwise other families would not be able to follow him.

However, when he thought of the red-clothed cannon and thought that Fang Changqing had always been by the emperor's side, he was relieved.

He listened quietly to the movement inside, and after not hearing Wang Pingyao's voice for a long time, he knew that this old guy was bluffed.

Wang Pingyao was indeed stunned. The emperor's permission not to move the royal family is already the limit, if trade is banned, it will be regarded as cutting off the family's wealth. Not only did it cut off the family's wealth, but it also broke the ties between these families.

I really don't know how to answer for a while. There was only the sound of the fourth master fiddling with the tea cup in the room, and Wang Pingyao's mind was withdrawn. In fact, thinking about it the other way, his heart is a little more steady. Just now, I felt that the emperor agreed a little too happily, if the emperor had known where his lifeline was, and he could have pinched this lifeline, it would not be difficult to understand. As long as the southern land is pacified, and the emperor increases the taxes and taxes on their merchant ships, then it will really pinch their lifeblood.

When Wang Pingyao thought about it and began to break out in a cold sweat, the fourth master said: "Actually, there is another purpose for summoning you here this time, which is maritime trade. You don't have to be afraid, I will not prohibit this, on the contrary, in the future, whenever a sea ship goes to sea to trade, there will be a sailor to escort it. You don't have to worry about pirates. In addition, the sea ships of the imperial court were also bought and sold to foreign countries. As for what the imperial court's sea ships will look like, after that, someone will explain to you. You'll know when you see the model. ”

Wang Pingyao understood in an instant, this is to ask them to buy sea boats, by the way, it is impossible for the sailors to do it in vain, this all requires silver, which is equivalent to sharing the interests in their hands, and using this part of the benefits to raise water masters and train water masters.

He said tentatively: "This ship, you only need to pay a deposit first, right?"

"This is natural. "The fourth master should be the way.

Really!

It turned out that the court had no money, and planned to borrow chickens to lay eggs.

Thinking about this, he didn't panic in his heart. Speaking of which, this is a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone. The relationship between the Maison and the royal family has gone one step further. The bond of interest is much stronger than the bond of nepotism.

But Kang Chang smelled something unusual. The more I feel it, the more dangerous it feels.

The army is heading south, and the arrow is on the line. The emperor did not provoke, but invited guests. Is this strange? Who didn't have two points in mind? But when they arrived in the capital, they were really put in the Juxian Pavilion, and they discussed political affairs without interfering at all. And the army going south really didn't make any moves. I am afraid that the little apprehension in the hearts of these people has long been eliminated by the magnanimity and grace shown by this display.

And now, another bait has been thrown to tell these people to let go of all their guards. This is to make these people stay in peace in the Northland.

He was keenly aware that the words that the emperor had just said were all true, except for cooperating with the family.

So, that is to say, the emperor knows that these high-ranking families are dissatisfied with the policies of the imperial court, so he has already thought of another way to appease these wealthy families. If this maritime trade really becomes the norm, those with capital participation must be wealthy families. The profits in this are not comparable to the interests of the land.

This incense bait is not only tempting to the family, but also to the wealthy family, how can it not be attractive.

The emperor knows that these big families are dissatisfied, so gathering all these unstable elements who may cause turmoil because of dissatisfaction in the capital and under his nose is another layer of truth hidden behind the glamorous reason of asking politics.

In other words, the emperor is equivalent to imprisoning these people in the capital. Meaning, I'm busy pacifying the Southland, so you should be honest and don't get in the way.

But this pit was jumped in by everyone crying and shouting.

He wiped the sweat from his head, no wonder Fang Changqing said that he hated smart people. This smart man is really too annoying. Every time you think you've seen the truth, you realize that what you realize is just the tip of the iceberg. Unless he wants to tell you the truth, you may not be able to guess it all the time.

He's starting to hate smart people now, too. It's just annoying.

Thinking about it here, Wu Chunlai was a little helpless, he had already called him several times in a row, and people didn't know what they were thinking, so they didn't hear a word. Dare to desert in the emperor's marquis, this is the first person.

"Kang-sama, Kang-sama. He screamed twice more.

Kang Chang suddenly woke up and stood up suddenly: "Oh!

Wu Chunlai: "......" You are really bold, I'm afraid that the emperor doesn't know that you have been listening to the corner, right?

After Kang Chang finished speaking, he was stunned, and then slapped his mouth: "I drank too much last night, and I haven't woken up today. ”

Wu Chunlai was silent for a moment, somewhat worried. Is the person he found this time really reliable? This frizzy one, he dislikes him as an apprentice.

He said helplessly: "Lord Kang, the emperor wants to see you, please." ”

A voice kept echoing in Kang Chang's ears, that is, Wu Chunlai kept calling him 'Master Kang'. According to the rules, he is white, where can he be an adult?

And Wu Chunlai will not be blind to the rules?

In other words, this summons of the emperor is a good thing.

In an instant, his waist straightened, and his mind was clear. Follow Wu Chunlai and go inside.

The fourth master in front of him is different from the fourth master yesterday. He was dressed in a homely robe, just casually leaning on the couch on the side, with a leather mattress on his body. When he saw him come in, he only raised his eyes and asked, "Did you hear what the inner room said just now?"

Kang Chang nodded: "Yes, did you hear that?"

"What do you think?" the fourth master asked seemingly casually.

Kang Chang smiled: "Long live Lord must be a master of fishing, using a straight hook, but the incense bait is real." No wonder one by one is like a fool, this is the real wisher who takes the bait. ”

Wu Chunlai quickly lowered his head and slowly stepped aside. This person's mouth is so unflattering. He doesn't understand the truth of seeing through it or not telling it. You have guessed through the emperor's thoughts, and the emperor still has secrets in front of you? Where is the prestige?

Is this really from a wealthy family? How is it a bit like a dumbfounder.

The fourth master raised his eyebrows and glanced at Kang Chang up and down before saying, "You are fortunate to have met me." If you want to try someone else, sooner or later you will die on the same mouth. The fourth master said, and waved his hand, "Okay, let's walk in front of the emperor in the future." ”

Yes?

Walking in front of the Gozen?

Isn't this Fang Changqing's seat?

"Working with Lord Fang?" Kang Chang couldn't help but ask.

The fourth master shook his head: "No, you replace him." ”

Yes?

"No wonder he put on a dead face when he saw the minister today. Kang Chang blurted out.

Fourth Master: "......"

Wu Chunlai: "......" is such a blatant and straightforward eye medicine complaint in front of you, you are the first one. If Lord Fang knows, he will definitely hate to bite you to death.

You're such an unsophisticated person!
