When Lin Yi's letter arrived in Jinmen, Yang Yingqi was meeting Zhao Lumin.

This wealthy businessman of Yanyun, who had been in contact with Zhi Yanchong and others long before the establishment of the Han Ministry, is now the president of the Jinmen Chamber of Commerce, and has a very high status among the people. Because his interests with the Han Department have been very closely tied, some important military and political affairs Yang Yingqi also let him consult with him.

After Zhao Lumin himself left Nanjing, some of his remaining forces there became spies for the Han Dynasty. After Zhao Lumin came to Jinmen, those people were dormant for a while, but now that the limelight has gradually passed, these people have begun to be active again.

"How about the income of our glaze shops, sugar shops, and hotels in Zhongjing and Cangzhou, Da Song?"

"It's all selling well. In particular, the glass shop in Zhongjing has benefited a lot. Zhao Lumin sighed: "Daliao is desolate everywhere, but such luxury things are so easy to sell, Li Chuwen, the deputy prime minister, dares to buy 100,000 treasures at a time!" Alas......"

Yang Yingqi sneered: "This is called Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road!" After chatting for a while, Yang Yingqi said: "There are a few things to invite you to come today, the first is about the matter that I am going to inspect the sea islands in a few days, I am here to talk to you first, so that you can have a psychological preparation, so as not to be caught off guard and unable to help deal with it in the future if there are merchants who suspect you." ”

Zhao Lumin was stunned for a moment: "Seventh General, you go to the sea archipelago to inspect, and it doesn't take long to go, what kind of businessman would be so boring and suspicious to make trouble?" Suddenly, his heart moved: "Could it be that the Seventh General wants to travel far away?" ”

Yang Yingqi smiled slightly and said, "Yes, it's a long trip." I'm going on a big trip. There are only five people who know about this now, including you, and your mouth must be tightened for me. ”

Zhao Lumin was taken aback, and hurriedly agreed, he didn't have much business in Daliuqiu, and he didn't ask much when he heard Yang Yingqi's tone that had already been decided.

Yang Yingqi said again: "The second thing is about Zhao Guan. He came from your house, but in recent years, he has been running for us a lot of military secrets. He himself intends to try his career, but he is your man after all, so he asked me to formally propose it to you. ”

Zhao Guan's meaning Zhao Lumin also knew it for a long time, and hurriedly said: "Brother Guan has contributed a lot to the family's business over the years, and now that he has been able to become an official, my cousin naturally agrees with it." ”

This third thing is also related to the second thing. You have helped us a lot in the past few years, such as Zhao Deng, who has been close to Li Chuwen, and Luo Xianqi, the curtain bin of Cangzhou Zhizhou, are all from your customers. We take all of these credits. But now these people are involved in more and more classified military affairs......"

Before Yang Yingqi finished speaking, Zhao Lumin had already said: "I understand what the Seventh General means. From now on, I will never ask about these people's affairs as the head of the family, and An Anle will be the president of my chamber of commerce and a rich man. ”

Yang Yingqi smiled and nodded, and said, "I and the general are very pleased that you think so." Let Ling Gongzi study hard, and the future is limitless! ”

When the two talked about it, Lin Yi's letter arrived. Seeing this, Zhao Lumin resigned, but when he went out, he saw a carriage just parked outside the mansion, Lin Ling leaned out of the car, and said with a smile: "Lin Gongzi, are you also here to see the Seventh General?" What a coincidence. ”

Lin Ling smiled slightly and said, "I'll resign." ”

"Resignation? Heading south? When to go? ”

"Tomorrow."

"Tomorrow!" Zhao Lumin was slightly surprised: "Why didn't you show any tone in advance, so that I can wait for Lin Dashao!" ”

Lin Ling smiled and said, "There is something urgent in the south. Zhao Da's intentions, Lin Ling understood it. ”

Zhao Lumin remembered that Yang Yingqi was also going south, and he had a slight association in his heart, but he didn't ask indiscriminately, and said, "Don't dare to disturb Lin Gongzi's entry", and said goodbye to Lin Ling.

Zhao Lumin's face was full of surprise after hearing that Lin Ling would return to the south tomorrow, but Yang Yingqi didn't have any mood fluctuations after hearing about it, but just asked, "Go back to Quanzhou?" Or do you want to beg for it? ”

Lin Ling said: "Go to Liuqiu first, and then go back to Quanzhou." Wait for the monsoon to come south, and then go to Liuqiu to deal with the matter of transporting grain. ”

"What about the kids? Will you show it to your father? ”

"No, I haven't figured out how to tell the people in the family about this yet, let's talk about it in a few years."

Yang Yingqi said: "You are like this...... I'm so tired. ”

"Get used to it." Lin Ling said lightly: "Now for me, eating and sleeping on a ship is not much different from being on land. Mazu blesses, it's good not to be shipwrecked. ”

Yang Yingqi's words changed, and he suddenly said: "It's better like this, I'll go down with you this time." ”

Lin Ling was taken aback, and there was a look of disbelief in her ears: "What did you say?" ”

Yang Yingqi smiled: "Anyway, I'm just going to go around, so I'll take your boat!" Your Lin family's ship is probably the safest in the entire East China Sea! ”

"How's that going to work!" Lin Ling said: "You are gone, what should the Han Department do?" ”

Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "There is no major incident in southern Liaoning in the near future, and Zhang Hao is in charge of government affairs, and there will be no accidents!" If the war in the north requires the cooperation of southern Liaoning, Yang Pu will exercise power on my behalf. ”

Lin Ling said: "But...... But the last time you stole the Great Song Dynasty, you already made the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom very unhappy, and this time you will ...... again."

"This time it's different!" Yang Yingqi said: "Now he may not have the leisure time to pay attention to me, besides, I have already told him that I am going to inspect the 'small island' overseas, which is also the duty of my deputy capital, and the lord of the country has no reason to punish me." ”

"But ......"

"Don't be!" Yang Yingqi said: "It's so decided!" I should also go to Daiyu to see how the fourth brother is doing in the south! This Dai Yu is the name of the first county given by Chen Zhenghui to the north of Daliuqiu according to ancient books, and it is said to be the transliteration of the name of the original inhabitants to the big island.

"But ......"

"Why are you so much! Could it be ......" Yang Yingqi winked at Lin Ling: "Could it be that you don't want me to beg?" Could it be that you are hiding something from me? ”

Lin Ling's every eyelash paused at this moment, and then she stretched it out, and said casually: "If you want to go, go there." Anyway, now that the general is not here, no one can control you! ”

"You're wrong!" Yang Yingqi smiled: "Even if the eldest brother is here, he can't control me!" ”

Lin Ling only told Yang Yingqi that she was going south the day before she left, and she wanted to catch Yang Yingqi off guard, but she didn't expect that it was herself who was really caught off guard in the end!

However, Lin Ling thought that Yang Yingqi was just a whim at first, but he never expected that he would arrange such a big battle when he went south this time: Yang Yingqi himself got on Lin Ling's boat, but there were three other big ships that also had to go south with the Lin family's fleet. No one knows how many things were on these three big ships, but as far as the entourage is concerned, there were at least three or five hundred! In addition to the guards and boatmen, there were at least 200 people of all kinds! When Yang Yingqi got on the boat, Yang Pu also came to see him off, which shows that he was prepared for this southward trip!

"It seems that you have been planning to go south for a long time!" Lin Ling said coldly: "It's ridiculous, I thought you were a whim yesterday!" But for such a big thing, you can hide it from everyone without revealing any traces! Amazing, amazing! ”

Yang Yingqi smiled and said, "Aren't you too?" Yesterday you suddenly came to me and told me that you were going south, and it really scared me. ”

Lin Ling snorted and said, "Actually, even if I don't go south, you have to go and beg yourself, right?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "If you don't arrange it today, then I may have to postpone it for a while." But ......"

"But how?"

Yang Yingqi lowered his voice and said in Lin Ling's ear: "But I think your Lin family's old boatman's ability to see the sky, measure the wind, and observe the ocean current is better than that of the people in the Jinmen Astronomical Division!" Since you've decided to head south today, it must make sense! I can't let others hear this, or the officials of the Astronomical Division will have to quarrel with me! Anyway, I just have one thought: it will be safe to follow you by sea! ”

Lin Ling pushed him away: "Be dignified!" What a public appearance! ”

Seeing Lin Ling angry, Yang Yingqi smiled.

"Laughing at what?"

Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "The trick of 'distinguishing between public and private' is you who played it first!" ”

Lin Ling was stunned for a moment, and Yang Yingqi said again: "Have you forgotten what happened to Chen Zhenghui last time?" ”

Lin Ling's face sank: "It turns out that you still remember!" ”

"Of course I do." Yang Yingqi said: "One person at a time, just forget it, everyone is even!" But I'll say one more thing you don't like to hear! Although you say that the public is public and the private is private, many times, the public and private between us are not clear! ”

Yang Yingqi's southward trip surprised many people, but Yang Pu, Lu Kezhong and others had long been accustomed to his elusive style, and Ah Guta, who was far away in Huining, did not care after seeing Yang Yingqi's recital, and it turned out that Yang Yingqi's recital said that he was going to the "maritime affiliated islands" to inspect it. Ah Guda and the others didn't know that the sea archipelago he was talking about was actually thousands of miles away, and they thought it was those small islands near the Liaodong Peninsula.

And when Ouyang Shi, who was begging, saw Yang Yingqi walking down from Lin Ling's boat, his first action was to rub his eyes, and after a while, he jumped over and hugged him and shouted, "Old man! You're really here! I thought you were joking in that pigeon book! ”

Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "I initiated and developed this Daliuqiu, but for several years, it has been carried by you alone, the fourth brother, and I didn't have much strength to hide in Jinmen." As long as I can walk away, I'll have to come and see it, or I'll feel uneasy. ”

"I don't believe you're so kind!" Ouyang Shi smiled: "I see that you are here to check the accounts!" Just like when I took over Jinmen, I was afraid that I would be corrupt! ”

Yang Yingqi didn't refute this time, and sure enough, hundreds of people came down from the three ships, from mountain and river explorers, draftsmen, accountants, secretaries to good doctors, generals, old farmers, and old herdsmen, all kinds of talents, Ouyang Shi frowned and said: "Old man! Do you really want to take power from me? Hum! Although I made it with one hand and one foot, you don't have to go to such trouble if you want to take my power! Let the boss say a word, and I'll leave obediently! ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Fourth brother, you are so careful!" ”

Ouyang Shi pointed at those people: "If it weren't for that, what would you bring these people for!" ”

"Even if I want to take over the big demand," Yang Yingqi asked rhetorically, "Fourth brother, do you think I can get separated?" ”

"Then you are ......"

"I'm learning from you, Fourth Brother. In other words: I came to collect political science materials for Guan Ning Academy. Yang Yingqi said: "Jinmen's support for Liuqiu is only limited to materials and manpower at sea, and there are very few talents on land, but Daiyu has developed so well, so I want to come and see how you govern, this group of people I will let them disperse to various places and fields, and never let them take over the existing powers in those places, just look around and ask more." ”

Ouyang Shi blinked in disbelief: "That's it?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Of course! This group of people has been selected and trained by me in the past few years, and I don't know how much effort it took me! Many of them have quite important positions in Liaoning and Guanning Academy. This time it was temporarily transferred, and when we got the information we needed, we left, and then the fourth brother asked which of them to stay, and I still didn't want to! ”

Ouyang Shi's expression softened at this time, he smiled in his mouth, but his right hand pinched Yang Yingqi's neck and whispered, "You kid must have a ghost!" But the fourth brother believes that you will not be so blind, so I believe you for the time being! ”

Yang Yingqi also smiled: "We have spent so many tongues, and the people on the shore on the ship are impatient!" The person who has been waiting politely next to him is Mr. Chen Zhenghui, the local official of our Han Department in Daiyu? ”

The two brothers looked intimate, and others secretly praised the two generals for their deep affection for Taoyuan.
