Chapter 535: Supply

In the front hall, Wang Zhi's subordinates have all dispersed, after all, they are all rough people...... Although he is a thief and the other party is an official, the respect for scholars and literati in this era is engraved in the hearts of almost everyone.

Feeling the curious eyes of Zheng Ruozeng, Mao Kun and others around him, and the occasional questions thrown by Tang Shunzhi and He Xinyin with various temptations, Qian Rui could only take thirty-six plans to go up.

As a result, only Hu Zongxian and his staff were left in the front hall, as well as the only local official, Tang Shunzhi, a fellow acquaintance of Taizhou.

"It's getting late." Tang Shunzhi frowned and said in a low voice: "It seems that I am going to spend the night on the island." ”

"A message has been sent." Zheng Ruozeng replied: "Ge Hao, Dong Bangzheng, and Qi Jiguang all led the sailors to stop nearby, if there is a Kou attack on the main island, there will be news here." ”

Tang Shunzhi looked back at the inner courtyard in the distance, and guessed in his heart what Qian Yuan and Wang Zhizhi were talking about.

And Tang Shunzhi himself has also become the focus of other people's attention, and Qian Yuan wants to recommend him as the prefect of Taizhou...... You must know that if Wang Zhi is appeased and the sea is closed to trade, the prefect of Taizhou must be a key position.

Zheng Ruozeng knew in his heart, but he was afraid that Tang Jingchuan had already negotiated with Qian Yuan...... The young man who has known each other for many years has always been foreshadowing in these aspects, and he has shown his sharpness later.

The young man back then...... Thinking of Qian Yuan, a smile appeared at the corner of Zheng Ruozeng's mouth, at that time, he was the one who said in front of his brother-in-law Zhenchuan Gong, this son can be compared to Shuangjiang Gong.

After so many years, Shuangjiang Gong has passed away, and Qian Yuan jumped up and bloomed with an unbelievable light.

Everyone was thinking about their hearts, and suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps came.

Yang Wen strode over, saluted everyone, and whispered a few words to the guards in the corner, and a young guard came out of the crowd and followed Yang Wen towards the inner courtyard.

Wang Zhi was still chattering inside, "Really, Lord Qian, with Xu Hai's guy on the road, there has been almost no income over the years......"

"Didn't there still be a fleet to Luzon last year?"

"The Wa Kingdom also produces tea, but where can it be compared with my Ming Dynasty?" Wang Zhi smiled bitterly: "As for cotton, porcelain, and silk, it goes without saying, the Wa Kingdom can forge knives, but it is a mess by itself, and it is not enough for itself." ”

"There were a lot of big families along the coast back then...... But now, the trade route has been cut off for several years, and Xu Hai has entered the ...... several times."

"Hey......"

Wang Zhi sighed for a long time, he didn't do nothing in Zhoushan these days...... But it's a pity that only a few old customers such as Cixi Zhao's family were contacted.

In this era, the sea trade for the Ming Dynasty is mainly exported, and the tea, cotton, porcelain, and silk that Wang Zhi said before are the most important and important goods, which are immediately worth a hundred times when they are shipped to Europe, even if they are only in East Asia and Southeast Asia, they are also worth a lot of money.

Therefore, now for Wang Zhi, the biggest problem is that there is no supply.

The greatest significance of the existence of Ligang back then was that it provided Wang Zhi with a steady stream of goods.

"Squeak."

The door opened, Yang Wen, who pushed the door, did not come in, turned sideways to make way out, and the young guard took off the saber at his waist and slowly walked into the house hesitantly.

"Here we are." Qian Yuan leaned lazily on the chair and mouthed at the plate on the table, "Take a look." ”

"Zizi...... Zizi Zizi......" The young guard's eyes lit up, and he skillfully picked up the plate and shook it slightly, blurting out: "Go to the plate!" ”

"Who doesn't know it's a bead!" Qian Yuan reprimanded: "Let you see, it's a price!" ”

"This ...... It's hard to say, even if it's my family...... It's just one piece, and it's still hidden in my father's small storeroom. The young guard sighed twice, "Don't send it to the West Garden......"

Qian Yuan rolled his eyes, "Qian is sincere, of course good things must be offered to Your Majesty!" ”

"Then next year, Your Majesty will be on the side, Zhancai, you can untie your belt and find a tree with a crooked neck to hang."

"You little king and eight calves, what do you call me?" Qian Yuan picked up the Miao knife on the side: "I call you a brother and a brother!" ”

The young guard took a step back and said with a dry smile, "To each his own, to each his own." ”

Wang Zhi, who was left aside, was confused, and looked at Qian Yuan forcing the guy to call him uncle, but the young guard who was dressed in ordinary clothes stiffened his neck and refused, and said that he was killed by Qian Yuan this time......

"Think that if Mrs. Feng is gone, you will be able to ascend to the throne?" Qian Yuan said disdainfully: "Don't dream, unless you want your Lao Tzu to kick on both feet in the past few years!" ”

The young guard didn't understand, but when he heard the last sentence, he glared angrily and reached out to pull Qian Yuan's collar...... As a result, he was captured by Qian Yuan's backhand.

Wang Zhi couldn't help but persuade a few words, "Lord Qian, this is ......"

"My nephew." Qian Yuan threw away the house, sat down and said with a smile: "Nanjing garrison, the crown prince Taibao, the youngest son of the Duke of Wei, who commands the Chinese military governor's mansion, is the most favored youngest son Xu Bangning." ”

Wang Zhi was taken aback, mother, in terms of preciousness, Nan Zhili can be compared with Wei Guogong...... Not a single one!

"Well, this is the owner of the Five Peaks." Qian Yuan said lazily: "I discussed with your Lao Tzu last year, your family's tea mountain and mulberry field output will be sent directly to Zhenhai County by water, and people can eat as much as they want." ”

"Yes, as many as you want!" Wang Zhi, who was overjoyed, patted his chest and promised, "The price is easy to say, as long as there is goods." ”

Of course, Wang Zhi knows what kind of industry the Wei State Mansion, which has been inherited for more than a hundred years, can have an industry, not to mention that its power and influence can affect a large number of people.

Wang Zhi glanced at Qian Yuan out of the corner of his eye...... Just now, Qian Yuan said that he had discussed it with Wei Guogong last year, which means that Qian Yuan had already begun to consider the preparations for opening the sea and banning trade last year.

That's a lot of prediction...... Although he was knocked off his head today, Wang Zhi had to admire this young man.

However, with the participation of the Duke of Wei, it's worth it!

Xu Bangning exchanged a few words with Wang Zhi slightly, then turned his head and scolded Qian Yuan again, "What you said just now, make it clear!" ”

This time, Xu Bangning was sent to Ningbo, and he was quite dissatisfied, and now in the Wei Mansion, the dispute between the princes is heating up...... was sent out to be in charge of general affairs, which means that Xu Bangning is getting farther and farther away from the position of the prince.

And Xu Bangning's dissatisfaction mainly lies in the fact that the wife of Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei, died early, and there were no heirs, and the son Xu Bangrui was the eldest son.

Just last year, Xu Pengju bribed Yan Shifan to open up the joints through Yan Song and straighten Xu Bangning's biological mother Zheng...... It was not casual for Xungui to straighten a side room, and it was not until the Zheng family was crowned the Duchess of Weiguo that the matter was settled.

So now although Xu Bangning is the second son, he is the son-in-law, although the elder brother is already the son, but he still has the confidence to fight.

Qian Yuan had a condescending and contemptuous smile on his face, pointing at Xu Bangning and then at Wang Zhi.

"The two of you talk, but there is one point, leave some for Qian, the cost has been a bit big recently......"

"By the way, who to consult with about the fleet?"

Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment before replying, "Mr. Fang...... Just look for him. ”

Qian Yuan nodded and went out, he would not participate in the next negotiations, the types of goods, prices, transaction methods, etc., were all directly discussed by Xu Bangning and Wang Zhi.

As early as a month ago, after Xu Hai's main force fled to sea, Qian Yuan sent someone to Nanjing to contact Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei.

After contacting his father by secret letter, Qian Yuan sent another letter to Nanjing.

Six days ago, Zheng Ruo got up from Zhenhai and went south, and on the day he invited Qian Yuan to go north, Xu Peng sent his favorite young son Xu Bangning to Zhenhai.

In fact, Xu Pengju tried to let his young son inherit the title, which is somewhat famous in history, he first bribed Yan Shifan and Yan Song to support the Zheng family in the side room, and then tried to make Xu Bangning the prince several times...... As a result, several officials of the Ministry of Rites were dismissed, Xu Peng was fined for a month, Zheng was stripped of the title of Duchess of Wei, and his eldest son, Xu Bangrui, inherited the title.

For others, it may not be clear to see, but for the traverser, it is clear at a glance...... From the last years of Jiajing to the early years of Longqing, none of those who had anything to do with Yan Song and Yan Shifan had a good end.

Qian Yuan strolled out, left some of the guards, and took Yang Wen and the others to the front hall, Hu Zongxian was already worried.
