The Chinese nation has never been a maritime power, so even if the Southern Song Dynasty is now developed in water transportation, in comparison, the use of water transportation at this time has not reached a more mature stage at all.

If Ye Qing wants to be a successful minister and a powerful minister, then water transportation must be a little bit to focus on.

However, obviously, if Ye Qing wanted to make good use of the waters under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty, it was obviously not enough to rely on the various gaps that the City Division had missed.

What's more, in the past few years, although Shi Miyuan has fallen behind in the officialdom with him, the city has always been like an iron plate, Ye Qing has so far, even with the help of Yan Qingzhi and the Qian family, the results achieved are not happy, and it is not a big advantage for Shi Miyuan.

So now Ye Qing's idea has hit the territory of the Jin people, and naturally, Haizhou is the most ideal camp in Ye Qing's mind.

Dongxilian Island and Cangwu Mountain, that is, Yuntai Mountain in later generations, face each other across the water, forming a natural wharf, and Dongxilian Island and Cangwu Mountain are extremely suitable for camping, so this place, in this era, for Ye Qing, can not only avoid the surveillance of the Song Dynasty, but also be a perfect and invulnerable existence, which can become a sharp blade in the hinterland of the Jinren.

He believed that Zhao Bingwen would never agree to his stationing troops in Haizhou, so he also had business interests to open up Haizhou's water transportation, so as the wharf became more and more prosperous, and even when the entire wharf was controlled by him, it would be too late for Zhao Bingwen to regret it, unless he wanted to lose his head and didn't want to live.

Zhao Bingwen happily used the soap to clean his hands, and from time to time he thought about the burning candle when he read last night, or the Napoli utensils he used when he deliberately drank tea last night, which filled his heart with a sense of satisfaction.

Just like the mentality of people in the previous life towards luxury, Zhao Bingwen, a literati official, is no exception, and he naturally hopes to use the high-priced and rare treasures for his daily life.

Signaled the maid to put away the soap, and just finished wiping her hands, the next person reported that Dong Chao had arrived.

"Hurry up, please." Zhao Bingwen looks in a good mood today, at least compared to the way Dong Chao frowned when Dong Chao came to visit him in the past, it can be said that there is a world of difference.

Wu Juan and Broad Bean'er stayed outside the study, and Ye Qing and Dong Chao followed the subordinates of the Zhao Mansion to the study in the backyard.

As Ye Qing and Dong Chao entered the study, Zhao Bingwen, who was still playing with the Poli utensils just now, carefully put down the Poli utensils, and glanced at Dong Chao with a look of surprise, even reproach, obviously complaining about Dong Chao, why did he bring people to see him.

"Who is this......?" Zhao Bingwen, who was still smiling on his face just now, after seeing that there were two people coming in, his expression returned to his former majesty again, sat down on the chair behind the desk, and asked lightly.

After watching the subordinate walk out of the study and close the door, Dong Chao smiled and saluted, and then introduced to Zhao Bingwen, who looked majestic and full of official authority: "Lord Zhao, this is what I often mention to you, Lord Ye, the pacification envoy and prefect of Huainan East Road. ”

"What?" Zhao Bingwen was still leaning on the back of the chair just now, and suddenly stood up, looked at Ye Qing with an easy-going smile, and said in disbelief: "You...... You are Ye Qing...... Lord Ye? ”

"Yes, in Xia Yeqing, the pacification envoy and prefect of Huainan East Road, I have seen Lord Ye." Ye Qing said with a smile.

"Hurry up, take a seat." Zhao Bingwen hurriedly walked out from behind the desk and stretched out his hand to invite Ye Qing to sit down on the chair in front of the window.

At this time, the shock in his heart was greater than the doubt in his heart, because he never thought that Ye Qing would suddenly come to Haizhou City, and dare to appear in his mansion alone.

Therefore, for the matter of doubting Ye Qingnian Ji in his heart, he was a little shocked at the moment, and in some flustered emotions, he couldn't find a chance to mention it at all.

"Because things were too hasty, I came to visit Lord Zhao rashly, and I hope that Lord Zhao will not be surprised." After Ye Qing and Zhao Bingwen sat down on the chair in front of the window, they said apologetically to Zhao Bingwen.

"Where, where...... Lord Ye laughed. Zhao Bingwen was worried at this time not about the purpose of Ye Qing's visit, but about the two big carts full of goods that he pulled into the mansion, if those were given to him by Dong Chao on his own initiative, he was really afraid that Ye Qing would find him to go back after he found out.

So at this time, how could he still be in the mood to blame Ye Qing for his rash visit, and only worried about the priceless goods that had just entered the mansion.

Zhao Bingwen invited Dong Chao several times in a row, hoping that he would sit down and talk, but in front of Ye Qing, at this moment, in this study, Dong Chao knew that there was no place for him to sit here, so he smiled and shook his head again and again After declining Zhao Bingwen's invitation, he said to Ye Qing and Zhao Bingwen: "My lord, the last general will go out and look around first, you have something to order." ”

Ye Qing nodded without speaking, and although Zhao Bingwen had no expression on his face, he was still surprised that Ye Qing was able to get a capable general like Dong Chao at such an age, and this Dong Chao had known him for some days, and he thought that in the Song Dynasty, he must be an amazing figure, and even if it wasn't, he should be an indispensable and extremely important member of Ye Qing's side.

But the scene in front of him made him a little stunned, he didn't expect that in front of Ye Qing, Dong Chao didn't even have the qualifications to sit down and speak.

Ye Qing in Zhao Bingwen's eyes has a city that does not match his age, even if he is in Haizhou now, but the young man in front of him does not have the slightest nervousness, he is calm and calm, as if everything is under his control.

"If Lord Zhao likes this utensil, it just so happens that Ye also has some high-quality products in his collection, and I will ask Dong Chao to send it to you in the future." Ye Qing glanced at the Poli utensils on the desk, and then said with a smile.

"Lord Ye is polite, Zhao really likes this crystal clear thing, but as the so-called plaything is demoralized, Lord Ye doesn't have to be like this." Zhao Bingwen said politely.

"That is, but presumably with Lord Zhao's knowledge and cultivation, since he is not those playthings who are discouraged and have no ambitions, Ye Mou has traveled all the way, everything in Haizhou is still admired by Ye, Haizhou is under the rule of adults, obviously this is the blessing of the people of Haizhou." Ye Qing complimented politely, ignoring Zhao Bingwen's eyes and staring at the Poli utensils on the table.

I want to be a bitch and set up an archway, obviously I am talking about people like Zhao Bingwen, the kind who says he doesn't want but his body is very honest.

But Ye Qing obviously didn't want to let him eat a reassuring pill so soon, and began to rain Zhao Bingwen pulled around, and the two of them didn't talk about it until noon, and Ye Qing still didn't mention the so-called top grade in the Napo Li utensils.

"Then I don't know if Lord Ye has rushed to Haizhou this time......." Zhao Bingwen began to take the initiative to get to the point, because he found that no matter what he said to Ye Qing, Ye Qing knew more than him.

And what shocked him was that the relationship between Ye Qing in front of him and the imperial grandson Wan Yan Jing was so close, and on the letter he took out, the handwriting at a glance knew that it was written by the imperial grandson himself, whether it was the tone of the book or between the lines, he could feel the imperial grandson's respect and respect for Ye Qing.

Ye Qing did not answer Zhao Bingwen's question directly, but played with the Poli utensils, and asked instead of answering: "By the way, now Liu Zhongxue is still the prince of your country?" ”

"Yes, over the years, I originally thought that Lord Liu had the best chance of being promoted to the position of Grand Master, but because Lord Ye ......." Zhao Bingwen said halfway with a smile, then suddenly stopped speaking, his expression became more solemn, and even looked at Ye Qing's eyes, showing a trace of respect.

"It's been more than three years, Jing'er personally went to Lin'an to convince me, I don't want to be more than three years later, the position of Taishi is still vacant, and the sincerity of the emperor and grandson makes me ashamed." Ye Qing played with the utensils, and said somewhat conspicuously in his tone.

"Yes, yes, the imperial grandson is thirsty for talent, not to mention that when Lord Ye sent me to the Jin Kingdom, he was the teacher of the imperial grandson, although the time is not long, but the imperial grandson is a person who values love and righteousness after all, and the position of the prince has been vacant for many years, so I can admire this sincerity." Zhao Bingwen listened to Ye Qing call Yan Jing Jing'er, his cheeks couldn't help but start to stiffen, and even the smile seemed to be engraved on his face, which looked extremely incongruous.

"So if Lord Zhao is my Ye, I don't know how Lord Zhao will choose?" Ye Qing lured Zhao Bingwen step by step, and asked Zhao Bingwen to follow the vague answer he gave and analyze it down.

After all, the position of Taishi is already a very popular minister, and the relationship between Ye Qing and Wan Yan Jing, not many people in Dajin Kingdom do not know, not to mention, many times, the imperial court will pass through Haizhou and other places to walk to the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Court Some rumors that Ye Qing has a close relationship with Wan Yan Jing.

Therefore, looking at Ye Qing's half-push and half-push, and his attitude seemed to be condescending, for intersecting with him Zhao Bingwen, as if it was Ye Qing's self-surrender identity to talk to him, Zhao Bingwen couldn't help but wonder, is this Ye Qing in front of him has secretly invested a lot of gold?

After all, in Zhao Bingwen's view, although the position of Taishi is no longer as high and powerful as it was back then, it still has a certain amount of power in the Dajin Kingdom.

Moreover, the truth above officialdom sometimes does not necessarily lie in whether your position is important, but in the relationship between the person sitting on the dragon chair and you!

Now that the prince is terminally ill, if he says something unpleasant, he is just short of this last breath. Today's saint Wan Yan Yong, at this time set up the king of Jinyuan County as the emperor's grandson, such a move can be seen clearly even by a blind person, as long as the current saint is a hundred years old, then the one who ascends the throne will never be the prince who is about to breathe, but will definitely be the disciple of Ye Qing in front of him, the grandson of their Dajin Kingdom, Wan Yan Jing.

Wan Yan Jing ascended to the throne, if Ye Qing was on his side, even if he only served as the position of Taishi, but with his relationship with Wan Yan Jing, let me ask, above the Dajin Dynasty, who dares, can, and has the strength to compete with it?

The position of Taishi, coupled with the relationship with Wan Yanjing, if this is changed to Zhao Bingwen, he will not even consider it, and he will not do it with a fake gesture of resignation, and he will immediately agree to become the Taishi of Dajin Kingdom.

After all, with the position of Taishi and the support of the emperor's grandson, what do you want when the time comes? Fame and wealth, ideals and pride, and ambition to serve the country, as long as you are willing, then you can rely on your own ability to do whatever you want to do in the world of Dajin.

Looking at Ye Qing's expression that almost confirmed that this was the meaning, this made Zhao Bingwen suddenly fall into a tangle.

It can only be understood that it is not spoken, and most of the tacit transactions above the officialdom come from such ambiguous answers.

And the battle above the officialdom is also the same for many officials, because they can only realize that such an unbelievable literati behavior cannot be communicated, will eventually be wrong, and even thousands of miles away, taking their own future and even their lives.

Zhao Bingwen is now facing such a situation, he can only understand that it is not spoken, or bet on a big one, or bet on Ye Qing's care and promotion of him in the future, or even the promotion of his disciples.

Either he will make it clear to Ye Qing, then in the future, if Ye Qing really goes to the Jin Kingdom to serve as the Taishi and becomes the real gentleman of the emperor's grandson, Wanyan Jing, then he Zhao Bingwen is useless no matter how much regret medicine he takes.

Even, the crystal clear, bright and attractive vessel in front of him will be taken back by Ye Taishi, as for himself, Haizhou is obviously impossible to stay, there is drudgery in the northwest direction, maybe it will become a place of peace for the rest of his life after his own thoughts.

"Xiaguan ......." Zhao Bingwen's face was somewhat embarrassed, such a change still seemed a little embarrassing to him, a literati.

"Lord Zhao, Ye might as well just say it directly, lest you and I guess and misunderstand." Ye Qing continued to play with the Poli products, and said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Haizhou Wharf, the wharf where the East and West Liandao and Yuntai Mountain are located, Lord Zhao doesn't have to worry about it in the future, as for what will happen there, Lord Zhao will open his eyes and close his eyes." Of course....... ”

Ye Qing interrupted Zhao Bingwen's words that had just come to his mouth, stretched out his hand to stop it, and continued: "Haizhou Wharf should have yours, and there will never be a penny less in the future, Shandong East Road has a total of eleven states, if you count the Zhisuoyi Prefecture and Jinan Mansion, Shandong East Road can be described as thirteen states, this is not small, as long as Lord Zhao moves a little, Jinan Mansion may not be a problem, after all, ...... Money can make ghosts grind. ”

Between the lines, Ye Qing never revealed his position and attitude, and what he said was just a lot of money promised to Zhao Bingwen, and when you Zhao Bingwen has the ability, you will run the relationship for yourself and take the money to give people gifts for promotion.

But such words, it is one thing for him to say them, in the heart of Zhao Bingwen, who has ulterior motives and has something to ask for, it is naturally not as simple as Ye Qing said.

As if giving Zhao Bingwen a reassurance, Zhao Bingwen felt as if Ye Qingxu had given him a position that was at least the prefect of Jinan Prefecture, and even ...... If Zhao Bingwen is sensible himself, it is very likely that he will sit in the prefect of Yidu Mansion.

However, Zhao Bingwen's officialdom over the years has not been in vain, ambiguous and unspeakable things, he still needs to calmly consider and analyze the stakes before he can give Ye Qing a clear answer.

Seeing that Ye Qing finally put down the Poli utensils that he had been playing with for a long time, Zhao Bingwen thought for a while and asked, "I wonder how long Lord Ye plans to stay in Haizhou?" ”

"Leave early the day after tomorrow, I can't leave Yangzhou for too long, this time it's the seventh time I've felt a chill after I was appointed as the prefect of Huainan East Road." Ye Qing replied with a smile.

Zhao Bingwen sighed with a clear look, and said, "If Lord Ye is not afraid of ......." Zhao Bingwen didn't know how to call himself for a while, if he called himself a lower official, it seemed a little inappropriate now, once he got used to it, it might make Ye Qing unhappy, so after a pause, Zhao Bingwen still claimed to be Zhao: "Tomorrow evening, Zhao will prepare a small banquet in the house, and invite Lord Ye to appreciate it, how about Zhao definitely give Lord Ye a clear answer at that time?" ”

"Even if it is to catch the wind for Ye, it can be regarded as practicing for Ye, Lord Zhao's move is ingenious, tomorrow evening, Ye will definitely go to the banquet." Ye Qing looked at the Poli utensils, and finally spoke: "In this case, there is just a pair of Poli wine utensils tomorrow, if Lord Zhao doesn't dislike it, I will send someone to send it to you in a while, just tomorrow you and I will drink it happily, wouldn't it be happy!" ”

"Hahaha, if Lord Lao Ye bothered, then Zhao would be respectful and obey his fate." Zhao Bingwen hurriedly followed Ye Qing to get up, and the moment the study door opened, Zhao Bingwen immediately restored his scholarly demeanor, but even so, he still ignored the side eyes of his subordinates, and finally personally sent Ye Qing to the carriage.

Wu Juan followed Ye Qing into the carriage, looking at Ye Qing's frowning appearance, thinking that the matter had not been completed, so he immediately said: "The last general has been arranged, and the umbrella has been prepared." Your words promise that after we leave, God will ...... unnoticed. ”

"Invite me to a banquet tomorrow evening, at his house, from now on, stare at him, see who he is in contact with, it's really not good, a lot of silver is smashed at his family's subordinates, from today to tomorrow evening, who he has seen, what he has said, I will know word for word." Ye Qing said decisively.

"Okay, I see, Dou'er, get out of the car with me." When Wu Juan stepped on the wheel behind Broad Beans and jumped out of the car, he didn't forget to pat Broad Bean's back on the back of his head and motioned for Broad Beans to follow him on an errand.

After Wu Juan left, Ye Qing bit his lip, things were easier than he imagined, but it was also more difficult than he imagined.

Zhao Bingwen is very skilled in the ability to make the rudder when he sees the wind, it can be seen that over the years, he has also been an old fritter in the officialdom of the Jin State, and this kind of person can be completely easy to come by in person.

originally thought that if the interests could not convince Zhao Bingwen, then he would take the Zhao Song clan to show him righteousness, but now it seems that it is obviously useless, and it is ...... If necessary, the Zhao Song clan could no longer stay in Haizhou, and had to change places.

After all, Ye Qing didn't dare to guarantee that if Zhao Bingwen knew that he was not a secret investor, then his villainous behavior would be unguardable, and he would never take the risk of placing the Zhao Song clan in Haizhou, which would be too risky for him, and he would easily fall into death and be unable to extricate himself.
