Xu Yi picked up the treasure.

After Hu Yanzhao moved into the official post, in a few days of communication, Xu Yizhen felt that he had picked up a treasure.

The concept that once needed to be explained to Xu Qing and others repeatedly, in Hu Laosan, he could understand it with a few words.

Finally recruited an available talent.

Just waiting for Pei Yaoqing to reply······

"Brother Lian, why are you here?"

Cui Lian's arrival surprised Xu Yi quite a bit. Anyway, he served in Bozhou, which is thousands of miles away from Yangzhou, and suddenly came.

"Can you not come? You toss such a big stall, Uncle Weng asked me to come as soon as possible. If it weren't for Uncle Jue being far away in Qinzhou, and Uncle Weng was old, I'm afraid they would have come too. ”

"Brother Yi'er, why did you remember to do this?"

"Brother Lian, do you mean canal operation?"

"Well, anyone can see that the profits are pouring into the sky, and it is not a family that dares to monopolize it. Pei Gong's letters were sent out quite a lot······ You kid, that's the frying pan. ”

"Don't say it's Jiangnan, even Chang'an is probably also talking about it, and almost all the magnates of the Dasheng Dynasty are thinking about it."

Xu Yi really wanted to say that he was not in the way of his own business······ He was a little scared.

The four-thousand-mile canal is the lifeline of the entire Dasheng Dynasty. Mastering the canal can almost be said to have mastered the trade of the entire Dasheng Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has mastered the grain supply in Guanzhong and the commercial tax of the entire Dasheng Dynasty.

Although Xu Yi's idea is not to control the waterway, but to control the ferry.

But Xu Yi couldn't deceive himself. The current Sanhe Haikou is still just a wasteland, and in the original era of Xu Yi, it will be a municipality directly under the central government, because it is a port.

Now Huating County, there is really nothing to talk about, and it is not even eye-catching, for officials in Chang'an, serving in Huating is even equivalent to exile. When it came to Xu Yi's original era, it was the largest city in the East. Because it's a port.

No one knows better than Xu Yi the role of ports in shipping, and no one knows better than Xu Yi what kind of promotion shipping will bring to ports.

The launch of sailing ships is bound to promote the prosperity of Dasheng shipping, and even to maritime transportation. It also indicates that there will be a great development of shipping and inland shipping in the future.

This means that Xu Yi's vision will have immeasurable benefits.

The problem is that Xu Yi's original intention was to quietly enter the village, don't shoot guns, and make a fortune in silence. Who made Old Man Pei make such a big fanfare?

Isn't that harmful?

Xu Yi didn't believe that the entire Chang'an had spread, and he could leave the royal family. If the saint knows that this attention comes from him Xu Yi, it is to cover a hat of rebellion, and it is all said in the past.

Originally, Xu Yi was thinking of contacting a few powerful families with many court officials, first finding a few key ferries, and then colluding with local officials to make some money by deceiving the subordinates.

Now, the old man Pei Yaoqing has been picked in the open······ I knew that it was better to report to the court directly with an official letter.

What is this called?

Xu Yi was stunned, and Cui Jian continued: "The court is discussing the feasibility of this matter in the past few days. Basically, the imperial court is not ready to add another yamen. ”

"Brother Lian is saying that the imperial court agrees to have a private sector to lead the affairs of the ferry?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I run to Yangzhou from thousands of miles away?"

How is this possible? Xu Yi couldn't believe that the imperial court could let go of the shipping ferry, saying that it was small and this was wealth, money and grain; Speaking of which, this can be said to be a major matter related to the strategy of the dynasty.

"The court does not compete with the people!"

Cui Jian said this, which made Xu Yi feel sad for the saint for a while.

When the ministers of the entire court wanted to make a fortune themselves, they were in unison.

"Brother Yi'er, don't think too much, it's not a saint who can let the ministers be deceived. You need to understand that the sage is first and foremost the speaker of the Li family, and then the emperor. ”

"It won't take long for the prince's horse wash to come, the king's butler will also come, and even the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send envoys to participate in it."

Xu Yi was completely stunned, the imperial court ······ What is the Imperial Court?

Xu Yi was deceived by those braids in later generations, and always thought that the emperor had supreme authority, and the entire dynasty belonged to the emperor's family.

Actually, this is not the case with Dasheng. Dasheng's royal family is the leader of the family, and it can also be said that he is recognized by the family and leads everyone to exploit the people together.

Although the Shenlong Dynasty suppressed the family, from the root, the king still considered himself a part of the family. The royal family is also a family.

If you think about it this way, it is not difficult to understand that such an idea can be adopted in the imperial court.

However, Xu Yi's heavy heart has not changed at all.

Things are so big that they are completely out of their own ideas, and it is a little difficult to control, or they can't predict the subsequent development.

Indeed, in the past few days, people have been staying in Yangzhou's official posts, and even non-court officials who were originally in the official posts have been invited out by the post house.

There were a lot of people coming.

At the beginning, when someone moved in, Cui Jian also whispered to Xu Yi: Who is the son-in-law of who's family, holding a certain position······

Later, Cui Jian couldn't say it anymore, and Xu Yi didn't want to listen to it.

Cui Jian came back to Xu Yi every day, just like he wanted to see Xu Yi's jokes, looking at Xu Yi's sad face, his heart was much more relaxed.

This kid didn't feel it in the Gongming Palace at the beginning, but it has only been two years, and he has already been known to the court. Regarding grades and titles, Cui Lian has no envy or jealousy, after all, Dasheng's civil and military promotion is two lines.

is Xu Yi's name, and now it can almost be said that there is no one for a while.

"Do you know why so many people are coming?"

"I don't know, I don't want to know. I knew that I was sold by Old Man Pei. ”

Xu Yi really didn't want to be amused by Cui Lian, if it wasn't for the eldest brother, he would have scolded him a long time ago, so that he could be like this, and he would come to the wound every day to sprinkle salt on it.

"Didn't you hear from that Gou Yinhu in your family? The ferry port on the tidal flat side has completely replaced the old ferry, and almost sixty percent of the goods are transferred by the tidal flat ferry. ”

"It's a pity, Li Song's accident was a little early, and it would be a very comfortable thing to let Li Song's family see the changes in the tidal flats."

Xu Yi was too lazy to deal with Cui Lian's expression.

In the current situation, it seems that Cui Lian does not have any suggestions on how to deal with him. Xu Yi is really a little unbearable.

"Brother Yi'er, you didn't notice that there are a lot of heavyweights, and there are people in charge of each family. Has anyone ever visited you but me? ”

It's true, there are indeed a lot of people in the official post, is it possible that it has nothing to do with their own affairs? All for sailboats?

Xu Yi looked at Cui Jian suspiciously.

"You're thinking too much. This matter has reached this point, it is completely up to you to decide, what will happen to the development in the future, and what does it have to do with you? Do you really think Pei Xiang sold you? No, he took it all. ”

"Even the rumors in Chang'an are stirring up in the name of Pei Xiang, not you Xu Yi······ Hahaha. ”

Xu Yi has been too early in the past two years, and he can even create style. Cui Jian also wanted to see Xu Yi's embarrassment.

Not to mention that there has been cooperation for a long time, even if it is his future brother-in-law, it is impossible for the Cui family to let Pei Yaoqing put Xu Yi on the stove to roast.

Just to see how he copes.

It's really good, the official post should be quite noisy these days, Xu Yi has been able to sit down and watch, and he is not in a hurry at all.

This is very important, otherwise, once Xu Yi is urgent, it will be easy for the Cui family and Pei Yaoqing to share Xu Yi's actions in vain.

It wasn't until Li Xun arrived, with Cui Jue and Li Wei's letters, that Xu Yi completely understood.

From the very beginning, Pei Yaoqing reported to the imperial court in the form of an official letter, and expanded Xu Yi's analysis in the chapter, detailing the investment required in the construction, operation, and maintenance of the ferry, as well as the manpower and material resources required by the imperial court to operate the canal ferry, etc.

And taking Yangzhou as an example, it details the officials, clerks, coolies, warehouses and so on required to operate a ferry.

Finally, the model of private operation and enjoyment by the imperial court was put forward for the imperial court's reference.

From beginning to end, Xu Yi was never mentioned.

Of course, no one can covet Xu Yi's credit for the launch of the sailboat and the design and planning of the ferry. Pei Yaoqing just turned Xu Yi's proposal into his own.

This old man doesn't say hello when he takes advantage of others.

However, Xu Yi also knew that in the current situation, with his thin shoulders, he really couldn't bear it.

Finally rested, no need to worry.

"No complaints?"

"Nope."

"Pei Xiang can take your credit for himself."

"Brother Lian, Brother Xiang, the kid still knows how many catties and taels he has, and he also knows how many bowls of rice he eats. If Pei Gong really attributed the matter to the kid, the kid would either be beaten to death with a stick or drowned by spit. ”

At this time, Xu Yi was too late to thank Pei Yaoqing, how could he be resentful.

Besides, what they did was right, and they were quite particular, no, Pei Chong also came over, and he was embarrassed, as if he didn't want to go about his family's borrowing of Xu Yi's creativity.

"I said Brother Yi'er, aren't you worried that this matter will end up leaving you alone?"

Xiao Xing also came, and his mouth was still the kind that didn't open the door.

"Anyone can leave this thing aside, but they can't leave me. If the kid doesn't have this ability, he doesn't have this certainty, what kind of energy is he messing with! ”

Xu Yi was stunned again.

As Li Wei told him in the letter, there was no need for him to worry about anything at this time. Xu Yi's planning and design concept for the ferry is not something that anyone can understand in a short time.

Whether it is a sailboat or a gantry crane, as well as the design and planning of the ferry, no one can avoid this matter.

Xu Yi didn't need to go over to fight for any interests with those big families, he just had to wait. No matter how they discussed, it should be Xu Yi's, and no one would have any objections.

Even Cui Jue also told him in the letter that he was an introduction, just lead things out, and remember to go back at this time.

Alas, Cui Qi is not the Cui family, and Li Wei is not a royal family, these two people treat themselves like nephews, which does not mean that the Cui family is like relatives.
