Yang Lan's voice was light and pleasant, "Really, am I as good as you say?" ”

"Yes, you are the best in my heart." Rong Yi muttered, rolled over and fell asleep.

Yang Lan laughed silently, obviously making her happy with this sentence.

Next, Yang Lan and Rong Yi are very busy, every once in a while, someone asks Yang Lan to go out to participate in various banquets, if you don't want to go, you have to go, in order to make Rong Yi's work can be carried out smoothly, Yang Lan needs to make some wives, know their movements in time, so as not to fall into passivity.

Rong Yi began to frequently use the military contact channel and the matter of his father and father-in-law to run a school, and at the same time he was also investigating the problem of corruption, which was a task assigned to him by the emperor, and it was very necessary to complete the beautiful points, at least he had to catch a typical example, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the emperor.

In addition, it is to apply to the emperor to increase the opening of ports, as well as to increase the taxes of ports and increase the taxes of the treasury, which is also very important, and he also serves as the task of the front sentinel.

The main thing is to find out what can make money overseas, which route is safer, whether there are pirates and other troublemakers, how many troops need to be sent, and how to establish diplomatic relations with Portugal and other countries, how to strive for more benefits for themselves, and what training sailors need to go to sea for a long time.

Not only did the merchants notice the huge profits of maritime trade, but the emperor also noticed it very early, and I have to say that the emperor was still a very far-sighted emperor, but his heart was a little small.

He has always wanted to open up maritime trade, and only with money can he attack others and occupy more territory.

Therefore, this task was given to Rong Yi. He needs to further do a good job in these preliminary preparations. In order to be able to smoothly develop maritime trade.

Rong Yi is willing to do this task. You can develop your own industry openly, why not do it, his family's business still needs to do a lot of work, it is rare to have this opportunity to turn from dark to light It is a fool not to do it.

This time, the emperor decided to take two routes, one was a civilian trade route, and the other was an official route, and the official family sent warships to various overseas countries to send envoys to transport their own tea, silk, porcelain and other items. In exchange for gold and silver and their specialties.

The opening of civil trade is for private merchants, and naturally it is also necessary to hand over a certain profit share to the imperial court, even so, maritime trade is still a good business, and I believe that once it is opened, many people are willing to do it.

This time the degree of openness is relatively large, if there are children of the family willing to sign up for business is also possible, it is a way to promotion, if someone is willing to pay money to do civil business to make money, it is also possible, but you need a pass, you have to register every year to pay some silver money up. The money is returned to the state treasury.

Of course, there is more to the preparation than this, and it is also necessary to train a group of elite sea masters. Therefore, Fujian and Guangdong took the brunt of this task, these two places have been dealing with pirates for a long time, and they have relatively a lot of experience, and it will be relatively smooth to train them.

Therefore, Yang Xu bought the production method of guns and artillery from Westerners in an open and honest manner, and studied and used them, mainly for the deployment of his army.

This decision requires a lot of things, as well as the manufacture of warships, which one is the most suitable to build warships, these need to be understood by heart, and understanding these is also very helpful for Rong Yi to make his family's business better.

On the evening of this day, Yang Lan waited for Rong Yi to come back, and when she saw him, she asked, "Are you tired?" I made soup and fish balls and noodles for you. ”

Rong Yi changed into his homely clothes, went to the ear room to wash up before coming out, looked at the dishes with all the colors and aromas, and nodded happily, "Okay, I'm really hungry." "Sit down and eat with a bowl, gobbling it up, obviously busy outside.

"I've been tired these days, what are you all doing?" Yang Lan asked casually.

"There is a river embankment that is about to die, and I have gathered some people to prepare to reinforce the embankment, so that it is just the extra money at the port, and this time everyone has no opinion." Rong Yi grabbed a steamed bun and said while eating.

"How can you have no opinion?" Yang Lan was a little curious, people are profit-seeking animals, and if the money in his pocket is less, can he still be willing?

"Do they dare or not? The emperor came to the imperial court and scolded him bitterly, and demanded that the corrupt officials be strictly investigated and dealt with severely and never tolerated, which frightened him. Rong Yi said with a look of disdain.

"Hehehe! I said, it turned out that the emperor was frightened. Yang Lan sneered.

"Isn't it? Recently, the work has been carried out very smoothly, especially cooperative, not to mention how smooth it is, I will do more while this encouragement. Rong Yi smiled.

"By the way, I've heard that the opening of the port is almost over, and I thought I would like to tell you something." Yang Lan remembered something and said.

"Well, you name it." Rong Yi nodded.

"I'm thinking about allowing the children of the family to sign up for business this time, you see if you let the two children of the eldest also sign up, no one knows them outside, and if possible, I plan to let the relatives or concubines of the Rong and Yang families also sign up." Yang Lan's face was extremely serious.

Rong Yi stopped eating and thought for a moment, "Are you afraid that the emperor will settle accounts after the autumn and want to keep a hand in advance?" ”

What they have been thinking about each other as husband and wife for many years, they can basically touch each other.

Yang Lan nodded, her face was a little heavy, "To be honest, I want Xiao Wu to also participate in this escort team, although the danger also exists, but it is far better than being settled by the emperor, he is not a generous person, I always have to keep a hand for the children." ”

"Cheng, I'll talk to my father-in-law and dad and see what they think." Rong Yi agreed without much hesitation.

Yang Lan breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't know how effective this would be, but she felt that men should still open their eyes more, go out and see more, there are many things overseas that are worth learning from, not necessarily everything is bad.

"If we can, we'd better find a land that isn't open and hopefully build a paradise there in the future." Yang Lan sighed faintly.

Rong Yi was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that she was so disappointed in the emperor, and she didn't even want to live in her hometown, how much she hated the emperor.

Rong Yi didn't speak for a long time, quickly finished eating, and sat on the bookcase looking at her.

"If you have any ideas, tell me, as long as it is a reasonable request, I can always ask you to carry some of it, don't do it recklessly alone." He said with a sigh.

Yang Lan was immediately happy when she heard this, took out a map made of cowhide from the bedside table, unfolded it, and beckoned to him: "Come and see, you come." ”

Rong Yi leaned over and looked at it, and the map was obviously a country and land outside the sea area, and some places were drawn with red circles and special imprints.

"You look at the land that no one has cultivated when these places are located, I have drawn conclusions from many books and classics of Westerners, and I still need to send people to further understand the truth, if it is really as I imagined, I think we can send some people over first, build our own city, manage it by ourselves, and not be oppressed by anyone, we can live a free and happy life, at least there are contradictions that can be discussed with each other, instead of being wronged and not even allowed to cry if we are wronged." Yang Lan excitedly sketched his own blueprint for him.

Rong Yi stared at her and muttered, "No oppression, no domination?" "He kind of didn't believe that there was such a good thing.

"Yes, that's what it means, you can work together and vote." Yang Lan only said the simplest method, and did not say anything else.

"Is it really possible?" Rong Yi's eyes were a little wandering, and he couldn't believe it.

"Why not, these places are all savages, we can completely occupy there, and we don't have to worry about the emperor being jealous of us." Yang Lan stared at him with her eyes open.

"Are you really sure there's no one ruling there?"

"It's almost certain, but we need to know more." Yang Lan said affirmatively.

"Well, don't talk to anyone about this, I need to discuss it with my father and them, if it is true, it will require a lot of money and materials to support, and we still have a lot to do." Rong Yi instantly thought of countless possibilities.

"Okay, no matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you." A glint of hope appeared in Yang Lan's eyes.

"Let's go to bed first." Rong Yi was messed up by her, so let's calm down first.

Yang Lan knew that the news was a bit too shocking for him, and he needed to digest it further, but she could afford to wait.

After that, she never mentioned this matter again, but if she didn't say it, it didn't mean that Rong Yi had forgotten it, on the contrary, she kept wandering around in her head, there was no oppression, no rule, and no one was afraid of them anymore, how good it was.

He wrote a letter to his father and father-in-law to discuss, relayed Yang Lan's words originally, and also said some of his thoughts and suggestions.

Yang Xu replied quickly, and his acceptance ability was much faster than Rong Yi's, saying that he could send Xiao Wu to take a look first, if it was really to leave some secret guards to do it first, if it was fake, you could look for it again, I believe that there will always be such a place in this world, but this matter should be carried out quietly, it is best for officials and businessmen to do it together, we will use our own civilian merchant ships when we send people over, and we will use official ships when we send troops over.

The matter was decided in this way, Rong Yi quietly began to arrange, secretly began to raise gold and silver, and slowly began to sell some things that were not very important, in order to exchange for more gold and silver to buy some necessary materials and other things.

Yang Lan saw Rong Yi take action, she breathed a sigh of relief, she really couldn't believe the emperor's mercy, she couldn't find a broader sky for her child's future, there may not be wealth and glory, but there is peace and joy. (To be continued......)
