"I remember that this Shiliang prince is the brother of the great proprietor of the king? This is his first trip to the sea? ”

She didn't look at Wang Shiqiang, she just talked to herself.

Wang Shiqiang's eyes were a little scattered, and he fell behind Ji Hong indifferently.

The new Song businessmen who arrived in Tangfang, as a rule, had to be guaranteed by the head of the gang, and asked the owner to ask for a meeting, and after checking the survey documents issued by the Great Song City Bo Division, and proving his qualified identity in business, they could get acquainted with each other.

Ji Hong heard her ask about Wang Shiliang, but when there was no Wang Shiqiang in front of him, he raised his head carefully, grinned, and replied calmly:

"Yes, eldest lady, Wang Shiliang is the youngest son of the third room of the Wang family, the villain has inquired clearly, he is nineteen years old this year, he went to the sea to do business after failing the imperial examination twice, his half-brother was born in Lin'an City, and married the fifth daughter of Liu Gang's first family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, his mother's family is the second lady of Hu Gangshou's family, and his mother's wife Hu set for him is also Miss Chang of Taizhou Xie family, a few days ago, Wang Lao Gangshou, Xie Gongzi, Liu Gangshou, Hu Gangdu have handed over the news, please take care of one or two."

"Ordered Miss Xie's sister-in-law?"

The four Gangshou seals attached to the post were bright red, and she was really surprised to see the seal of the Xie family as a guarantor for Wang Shiliang.

"In addition to Wang Lao Gang, Xie Thirteen Gongzi also handed it over for us to take care of?"

Although the Liu family and the Hu family are also one of the leaders of the six maritime merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they have only made their fortunes in recent decades, not to mention the nouveau riche Huang Qilang, who is far inferior to the long-standing Siming Wang family, and has always looked at the Wang family, while the Taizhou Xie family must not be underestimated.

The Xie family is the only maritime merchant family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang that can be compared with the Wang family.

The mother of the seventeenth prince Wang Shiliang was originally from the Hu family, and then ordered this Xie family affair for him, even if he went to sea for the first time, he would be invincible in the East China Sea in the future.

No wonder this kid dares to let out a rumor and want to compete with Wang Shiqiang, the brother.

Although he is far from being Wang Shiqiang's opponent, and sooner or later he will have to suffer at his hands, but his coming to the East China Sea is exactly what she wants.

"Since you are a member of the Wang family, you also invite the senior officials to go to the Ji family's warehouse with me to meet you?"

She suddenly changed her temperament, and she was not in a hurry to go outside the water gate to greet the fleet of the Great Song envoys who stopped fifty miles away, and asked Wang Shiqiang with a smile.

And Wang Shiqiang's eyes turned to her eyebrows, lips, and apricot eyes, deep face, and her expression was peaceful.

He already knew that with her temperament, it might still be a small matter if she couldn't get married, but since he Wang Shiqiang was not her husband, of course she would have to take back the Tangfang property in his hands.

It was written by Huang Qilang seven years ago, and he agreed with her that he had obtained a total of fifty or sixty key wharves, warehouses and warehouses on twelve rivers in Tangfang on behalf of the Siming royal family, as a reward for helping her build a workshop.

These properties can be regarded as compensation when he asked for control of the twelve rivers but she refused.

"I know that Wang Shiliang is not your opponent, in order not to make the family ugly, I will inevitably give him a few docks, but you only need to start with the docks in his hands, and spend a year or two to get back all the properties that were originally allocated to my family - in this way, Tang Fang and I will have no relationship at all."

He laughed casually, but his voice was cold, and he said:

"I don't care about these properties, but I advise Qingniang not to go to see him-"

He turned his hand sideways, and his eyes fell on her smiling face, with a hint of coldness, "Today, in addition to letting Fujian maritime merchants enter the workshop and join forces with Wang Shiliang, does Qingniang also plan to put aside the original verbal agreement with me?" Take back these inheritances just so that after you break the contract, I will be helpless against you? ”

"I don't understand what Wang Gangshou said?"

She smiled in surprise, as if she really didn't know why, "Aside from the marriage contract three years ago, what other verbal agreement do we have?" ”

“……”

mentioned that she broke her marriage three years ago and married again, Wang Shiqiang was angry at her now crossing the river and demolishing the bridge and regaining the industry, but he had no face to question for a while, so he could only stare at her.

She looked back calmly.

Although Ji Hong carefully lowered her head, her ears were erect, and she also felt that the two looked at each other for a while, and she didn't know what kind of gesture Wang Shiqiang made, she seemed to hesitate for a moment, but she still laughed, and said:

"It turns out that Wang Gangshou still remembers this matter, I thought I would have been put behind by you a long time ago-"

The detached tone didn't notice any change.

"As for the breach of contract, Wang Gangshou did not abide by the oral marriage contract with me, did I ever complain to you?"

She smiled lightly, understated it, and neither admitted nor denied the "verbal agreement" he mentioned,

"Therefore, I see that Wang Shiliang is just a routine, even if I have signed a contract with him, I will help him obtain all the Tangfang properties under your name, so that you can't gain a foothold in Tangfang, and he will secretly transfer these properties back to Tangfang in three years, this is just a wishful business, and it has nothing to do with other things."

Since she can't get married, of course she can't let Tangfang's important property fall into the hands of outsiders, and it is also necessary to get it back.

As for Wang Shiqiang's help in opening the workshop, the dividends under his name in the past seven years and the position of the head of the program he has now obtained in the Great Song Dynasty are also enough returns.

What's more, Wang Shiliang is also surnamed Wang.

Wang Shiqiang refused to let go.

"Qingniang, I lost you to the marriage three years ago, but you have never hesitated in the major matter we agreed on orally before, and now please look at the friendship we have had for seven years, for the sake of Huang Qige's face, abandon others, and listen to me say a few words in private."

He really couldn't retreat, he couldn't take care of his son, he put down his body and persuaded slowly, Ji Hong, an outsider three steps away, lowered his head and nailed himself to the spot, with her words, of course he would never leave.

She frowned slightly, looking at him, of course she knew that the gesture he made just now was referring to the verbal agreement he had made with her.

She has not forgotten that over the years, he has held her hand, walked on the beach under the moonlight, across the vast sea, pointed to the rivers and mountains of the north on the side of the Great Song Dynasty, and said to her.

"I know you're ambitious—"

She put Wang Shiliang's post in her sleeve, and finally let Ji Hong withdraw five steps away, so that he could not hear their conversation clearly against the sea breeze, and then said to him slowly,

"You want to make a statement in front of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, further open up overseas trade, collect business taxes to enrich the military strength of the Jianghuai Naval Division, and then cut off the contacts between Goryeo and Jin from the sea, in order to plan the Northern Expedition—"

Her words were smiling, but they were faint and desolate, as if she was still in that year, she was in the moonlight, listening to him say that because of his mother-in-law's compulsion, although he did not have the opportunity to take the imperial examination, he has always stayed in his heart without losing his ambition.

"You, Huang Qilang, and the six heads of the maritime merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are willing to donate military funds, and want to get the support of the imperial court, so that the maritime merchants of Jiangsu and Zhejiang can monopolize the maritime business of transporting grain and weapons between the garrisons of Goryeo, Fusang, and the Huaihe River in the Great Song Dynasty, so as to support the rebel armies in Huaibei and Shandong against Jin—"

She once followed his footsteps, quietly listening to his heart night after night in the sea breeze, and thus obtained the most authentic court secrets of the Great Song Kingdom a thousand years ago, the history of the market, and the customs and customs of the north and south.

At that time, she also smiled at him like that and nodded slightly......

After all, she had a sincere heart, and wanted to stay with him for a lifetime, advancing and retreating together.

Even if his ambition is to assist Ming Jun as a businessman, he will go north and reorganize the mountains and rivers.

In the past three years ago, listening to her slowly at this time, Wang Shiqiang half opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain something, but he was silent after all.

"Miss Lou's father and brother are widely distributed in the imperial court, classmates, teachers and friends, Miss Lou can help you with these things you plan, I didn't expect you to get such a good family affair, otherwise why did I start ...... with you in the first place"

The words in her heart were not spoken, and the old street fell silent for a while, only the sea breeze blew and stroked her clothes.

So she wouldn't say anything, she also inquired that the daughter of the Knowles longhouse was dignified and virtuous, with both good looks and appearance, and it was even more rare that this woman still had a deep love for him.

As for why he got married in a hurry in the Great Song Dynasty, less than three days after the marriage, he immediately accepted Mrs. Lou's two dowry girls as concubines and gave birth to a son and a daughter, all kinds of weirdness, after all, it has nothing to do with her.

After all, Lou Luanpei and her maiden Mingzhou Knowles have no objections.

Therefore, she also knows that Wang Shiqiang can marry the daughter of an official family as a businessman's concubine, and it is impossible for there to be no twists and turns.

“……”

He suppressed the complicated thoughts that were about to come out of his heart, and sighed secretly.

When he got married, he also knew that once she got the news, she would not listen to anything in the future, but after all, he knew that this was the case, and he still married Lou Luanpei.

He could only stand still, looking back at her.

"Qing Niang, you promised-"

She once promised that if he could enter and leave the prime minister's mansion and offer a great plan, and the imperial court's expedition to the north would indeed come true, she would persuade her two younger brothers to let Tang Fang send money, ships, and people to disturb the southern coast of Goryeo in order to contain its sailors.

If it was possible, the Tangfang fleet would land on the Tokyo Road in the northeast of the Jin Kingdom, attack Shangjing and Tokyo in the Jin Kingdom, and cooperate with the Great Song Dynasty's attack on Zhongjing on the Hebei and Henan roads.

At the same time, Tang Fang will also cooperate with the Mingzhou Naval Division to prevent Goryeo from sending troops for the suzerain, Jin Guo......

"Qingniang, it's okay for other people, but the Chen family can't-"

He took a step, not wanting outsiders to hear their secret conversations,

"I think you have also heard the rumors, this time the fleet went to sea, it was a major event in front of the official family and the Goryeo secret merchants to jointly cut gold, I originally figured out the Mingzhou Tongju Qin recommended by the elders of the Guò family, he is the main battle of the court, and he is a very handsome man, but this matter was stopped by the cowardly people of the main peace of the court, Lou Yun took the opportunity to return to the capital to take up his post, and tried to block this matter in front of the official family, but thought that several adults in the main war of the DPRK and China were eager to seek power, and started the war in a hurry, and the name of Dayi was really a national thief——"

She listened calmly, and she didn't know in her heart that the Prime Minister Han, who was the most powerful in the main battle between the DPRK and China, was the nephew of the Queen Mother and a relative.

What Lou Yun said may not be the truth.

"Qingniang, there are quite a few officials in the DPRK and China who do not support the expedition to the north, especially the officials on the southwest coast, far away from the border of Song and Jin, and there are not a few Fujianese-"

Wang Shiqiang thought that Lou Yun, with the support of the lord and officials of the central government, not only grabbed the position of the state envoy for this visit in front of the officials, but also did not leak a drop when he went to Goryeo, and he didn't know what he had secretly discussed with the king of Goryeo in the Kaijing Palace, so he was angry.

However, these are not the same, he experienced a lot of setbacks after the death of his biological mother when he was young, and he did not expect such a major event to be completed in one battle, not to mention that Goryeo was only a small country that claimed to be a vassal to the Jin State after all.

With Tangfang, it is enough to contain Goryeo from the sea.

However, the Mingzhou general judge Qin Congyun he wanted to recommend had a deep relationship with him, if he could be the national envoy, at least Ji Qingchen would definitely invite the national envoy to enter the workshop, and continue to sign a five-year contract between them, continue the cooperative relationship between Jiangsu, Zhejiang and maritime merchants and Tangfang, and would not turn him away when he posted a visit today.

Lou Yun came out halfway this time, completely breaking his plan to make peace with Ji Qingchen.

"Qingniang, I shouldn't mention it again three years ago, and the five-year contract between Tang Fang and me doesn't have to be renewed, but I have always known your thoughts, you supported the Northern Expedition, but the Chen family in Quanzhou had a close relationship with that Lord Lou-"

He took another step closer and persuaded in a deep voice, "Qingniang, you should postpone the marriage of the Chen family and discuss it later-"
