The administrative operation of the Han Ministry is back on a normal track, but Yang Yingqi has become busier in the past few days -- he is not busy with government affairs, but busy directing scholars to read books. Since the Jin soldiers moved eastward, Yang Yingqi has made the rescue of the Central Plains literature and classics a top priority. Although Jinmen's finances are tight, Yang Yingqi still does not hesitate to spend this area. The books and documents transported from Bianliang to Dengzhou every day are endless, and later a "book road" has been formed unconsciously. At this time, the roads of the Great Song Dynasty were not clean, and there were many teams transporting books, so the defense was inevitably loose from time to time, and it was inevitable to encounter thieves on the way to transport books. Most of these thieves were peasant scoundrels who rebelled without enough to eat, and they didn't have much knowledge, and after robbing them a few times, they found that they were all "useless things" that could not be eaten or spent.

After a large number of books were shipped to Dengzhou, Yang Yingqi originally wanted to divide them into three parts: part of the Tibetan Dengzhou Penglai School, part of the Tibetan Jinmen Guanning School, and part of the Tibetan Liuqiu Taoyuan School. But then there were more and more books, and it turned out that many families in Bianliang sold their family books at a low price in order to raise money for escape, and the rare books received by Kongbi Books in one or two months exceeded the sum of the previous six or seven years! Because there are too many books, not to mention the detailed processing, it is suspected that there are not enough people to carry out a rough placement - besides, at this time, in troubled times, people are needed everywhere, and Yang Yingqi cannot arrange more forces in this matter. In the end, some businessmen in eastern Zhejiang came up with the idea: they spent a lot of money to invite learned people from Shandong, Jiangnan, and Fujian to Penglai School School to arrange the school book. Yang Yingqi was overjoyed, not only did he get it right away, but he also encouraged him. At that time, Qingyang Port was extremely busy in order to cope with the war, and the merchants of eastern Zhejiang requested that the entry and exit of books and personnel be changed to Huaizikou, a new wharf near Jiaozhou Bay (note: the geographical location was near Qingdao in later generations), and as for the reconstruction and upgrading of the wharf, these merchants and local gentry were responsible for it. This suggestion was exactly what Yang Yingqi wanted, and he approved it without thinking about it, and was ready to issue an additional batch of banknotes to support their construction in Huaizikou -- recently, because Hanbu banknotes were in short supply in Bianliang, Yang Yingqi had already been interested in issuing more banknotes.

After the proposal to issue additional banknotes was approved by the Yuan Ministry, Yang Yingqi touched the pocket that was even more bulging than before the Jinhan War, and his heart was happy, but he smiled for a while and suddenly froze.

Chen Zhenghui saw it next to him and asked, "Seventh General, what's wrong?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "In the past two or three years, the momentum of businessmen in eastern Zhejiang has risen rapidly, and what they do is also very much in line with our hearts. ”

Chen Zhenghui nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

Yang Yingqi said: "But don't you think it's too much to our liking?" First Liaokou, then Huaizikou, plus their hometown Jiangnan...... It's a great layout! Hey, if Lianliuqiu, Mayi, and Tanggu are also included, then the Han Department will become their world. ”

Chen Zhenghui smiled: "They are not very powerful in Liuqiu, Mayi and Tanggu, and besides, they are just businessmen after all, and they have not interfered in government and military affairs, so there is no need to worry too much." ”

Yang Yingqi thought for a while and said, "I still feel a little problem, you go check it out and see who they have dealings with in private." ”

Chen Zhenghui was stunned and said, "How can I check this?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "It is to check the records of their entry and exit from the port." Well, it's going to be quiet, and not too many people will know about it, lest they get upset when they know about it—maybe it's just me thinking about it. ”

That night, Chen Zhenghui ordered someone to go to the customs to retrieve the files and check the entry and exit records of all the Yuan people, but he did not find any unusual signs from the merchants in eastern Zhejiang.

Yang Yingqi was even more depressed in his heart, Chen Zhenghui also felt inappropriate, Yang Yingqi asked him what was wrong, Chen Zhenghui said: "I don't know, but I always feel inappropriate." "People at their level often have intuitions that go beyond the evidence, and that intuition is usually accurate.

Yang Yingqi thought for a while and said, "I'll leave early tonight and go to the Lin Mansion for dinner, and you will take care of the affairs of government affairs." ”

Over there, Lin Ling saw Yang Yingqi coming, and said strangely: "Haven't you been busy lately?" How come you still have time? ”

Yang Yingqi smiled: "Don't welcome me again?" ”

Lin Ling smiled: "Where will it be!" "Ordered someone to clean up a few elegant side dishes, and ate porridge with Yang Yingqi.

While eating, Yang Yingqi chatted about some overseas experiences, slowly chatted about business, and said: "Those businessmen in Wenzhou and Mingzhou are very fierce! I want to invest some money in their business, buy some shares, and make a big fortune in a few years! ”

Lin Ling smiled and asked, "Are you talking about the money of the Han Department, or your own private house?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Of course, it's my own private room. ”

Lin Ling sneered: "You just handed over half of Huaizikou's business to them, and now you want to buy their shares, be careful that people will know that you are fake public and private!" ”

Yang Yingqi stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "Forget it, anyway, my current money is enough to squander ten lifetimes." He also asked: "After the rise of their Zhedong Gang, has your Fujian Gang been hit?" ”

Lin Ling said: "Of course there is, especially the business on Donghai North Road, which is very robbed." The Chen family had reached an agreement with them, giving them all the original trade routes of their family on Donghai North Road, while those Wenzhou and Mingzhou people promised not to go to Daliu and Mayi. ”

Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "The Chen family's business is worth it!" His family is on Donghai North Road, and he doesn't have much business. ”

"Then you'd be wrong." Lin Ling said: "The Chen family came late, and there was not much business in the north. However, the Ouyang family still has some share in Donghai North Road, although the foundation is not as good as Liu Jie and Zhao Lumin, but it has developed very well in recent years. In particular, you supported them to open a port in Sapin Province (near Vladivostok in later times), and they took the opportunity to peddle business in Japan and Goryeo, and now they are very open! ”

Yang Yingqi suddenly said: "No wonder they don't complain about my partiality recently, but the Ouyang family's business is doing well, what does it have to do with the Chen family?" ”

Lin Ling said: "The Chen family and the Ouyang family have been very close in the past two years, don't you know? Ouyang Ji has married his daughter to Chen Fengshan's son, you didn't pay attention to such a big thing? Yes! Yes, at that time, it happened that the general had an accident, so the Ouyang family and the Chen family didn't dare to make a big fuss, and I guess you weren't in the mood to pay attention to it. ”

Yang Yingqi's heart sank, but he smiled in his mouth: "Then they can choose the wrong time for this wedding." At another time, I have to give them a great gift. After all, the Chen family's development of Mayi, and the Ouyang family's development of Binfu and Ezo, have made a great contribution to our Han Department! Especially the Ouyang family, if it weren't for the development of the Binfu Mansion, where would the thirty-six departments of the East China Sea lean towards us so quickly. After a pause, he said: "Now that the Ouyang family, the Chen family, and the merchants of eastern Zhejiang are so strong, will the Lin family's business be difficult to do?" ”

Lin Ling smiled: "I didn't dare to fight with them on this for a long time." But they finally didn't dare to force me too much, even if there was any business, they would leave me a little, I would provide money, they would operate, I would take the small head, they would take the big head, it would be the best of both worlds. ”

Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "Although you occupy a small head, all the businesses in the East China Sea have a little 'small head' of yours, and it adds up to a lot of money!" ”

Lin Ling smiled: "It's nothing bad, just pick up a little oil leak from them." Now I don't even care about Daiyu sugar or anything, I only occupy a little partnership share. ”

Yang Yingqi heaved and said: "You are so rich, do you want to focus on banknotes and money?" ”

Lin Ling said lightly: "Isn't it good?" ”

Yang Yingqi smiled: "There is nothing bad. But this business is not easy to do, so be careful. ”

Lin Ling said: "As long as you don't come to rob me, I'm not afraid of anyone." ”

The two ate and chatted, this meal was eaten for more than two hours, and when parting, Lin Ling broke his subordinates apart and asked Yang Yingqi: "You suddenly came here today, is there something wrong in the Donghai business district?" ”

Yang Yingqi pondered for a long time and said: "I see that the merchants in eastern Zhejiang have such a strong momentum, and I am a little worried. ”

"I see." Lin Ling nodded and said: "I have also seen a little clue, but this matter is not yet clear, and the people involved are too sensitive, so if you didn't ask before, I wouldn't be able to tell you." ”

Yang Yingqi was surprised when he heard that "the people involved are too sensitive" and asked, "What clues?" ”

Lin Ling said: "The nine families in eastern Zhejiang do not have a big business in Tanggu, but the second or third shopkeeper of their family will go to Tanggu regularly in the past two years, and they will come and go quietly every time. At first, I thought they were just trying to steal business over there, but recently I saw that they were slow to move, and I was a little confused. But maybe it's just my heart. ”

"Tanggu!" A burst of doubt flashed in Yang Yingqi's mind, and then it turned into a thunderbolt, and he said hey: "It turns out that there is still such a thing!" My men can't keep an eye on it. ”

Lin Ling said: "I'm in business, so all businessmen should keep an eye on it." You're going to have a lot more to think about than I do, and it's inevitable to overlook some things once in a while. ”

――――――

I'll go home later. I don't know how long it will be delayed on the road, so don't wait at night. But I'm not going to lose this chapter.
