Yang Cong actually wanted to replace the maritime tycoons and monopolize the maritime trade for a long time, but he didn't have much opportunity before, so he could only think about it.

Now, the time is ripe, and he will not hesitate.

After the Nantai Shipyard was on the right track, he took a group of civil servants and military generals to Quanzhou Mansion.

Although this Fuzhou Mansion is adjacent to Quanzhou Mansion, the straight-line distance is more than 300 miles, and if you take the land route, it will take two or three days to ride a horse or a car.

Fortunately, at this time, the warships of the Fujian Navy Division and the Zhejiang Navy Division almost gathered in the waters near Fuzhou Prefecture, and the pirates and pirates were afraid to avoid them, so the sea route was relatively safe, Yang Cong simply ordered more than ten Cangshan ships and centipede ships, and went directly to the sea.

The Cangshan ship and the centipede ship were worthy of being speedboats, and the distance of more than 300 miles was even less than five hours away.

The group set off from Fuzhou Fucheng in the morning, and arrived at Hui'an County, Quanzhou Prefecture at Shen Shixu in the afternoon.

Since Yang Cong was admitted to the top prize, this is the first time he has returned to Hui'an's hometown, the so-called "wealth does not return to the hometown, such as clothes and brocade at night." If he doesn't come back, he really doesn't know how famous he is in Hui'an.

The old lady Yang Rong may be in order to show off, and the news of his return to his hometown was released early, this guy, the entire Hui'an County and even Quanzhou Mansion are boiling, since the morning, local officials and local tyrants and squires have rushed to Hui'an County to gather, and the people near Hui'an County are even more family-oriented, with Hui'an Yang Mansion as the center, and the streets of the entire Hui'an County are almost full.

As soon as Yang Cong entered the city gate, he was almost blocked by the people who rushed to hear the news.

Champion Lang, the entire Ming Dynasty has only produced more than 30 people so far, Quanzhou Mansion and even the entire Fujian are almost the only one Yang Cong, who doesn't want to have a champion Lang's demeanor.

In these years, for ordinary people, seeing the real person of Zhuangyuanlang is enough to brag for a lifetime.

Fortunately, these ordinary people still knew that Zhuang Yuanlang was going home, so they did not block the road, but the avenue that could accommodate more than ten people in parallel was also squeezed less than five people wide at this time.

Yang Cong was really frightened by this battle, if it weren't for the guards of Yu Dayou and Shen Lian and other masters, he really wouldn't dare to walk through this narrow "sidewalk".

The group finally slowly moved to the gate of the Yang Mansion, and a group of local officials and local tyrants and squires embraced up under the leadership of Yang Rong.

Yang Cong was embarrassed to greet a group of officials and squires for a while, and then pulled his grandfather and whispered: "Grandpa, why did you spread the news of my homecoming, making such a big battle, it really scared my grandson." “

When Yang Rong heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Our Yang family finally came out with such a champion as you, so naturally we want to show our faces." ”

Well, it can't be helped, the old man loves to show off.

Next is the grand banquet, this time Yang Rong hired the chefs of several restaurants in the city, and directly set up hundreds of tables in the Yang Mansion, all the officials, squires, and relatives and friends of the Yang family and the Zhang family were counted, and even the neighbors were fortunate to enter the Zhuangyuan Mansion for a meal.

This excitement is the same as when Yang Cong got married in the capital.

The banquet lasted for more than an hour, and it was not until it was dark that the guests gradually dispersed, and at this time, Yang Cong was a little dizzy from being respected.

Yang Rong didn't know whether he was happy to see his grandson, or he was a little sleepless because he was excited, after the banquet was over, he even pulled Yang Cong to talk vigorously, as if it was endless.

Yang Cong actually had something to tell his grandfather, otherwise he wouldn't have run back at this time.

As soon as he saw that the guests had dispersed, there were only two grandfathers and grandchildren left in the lobby, so he simply drank a cup of strong tea, calmed down, and then asked, "Grandpa, are you okay?" ”

Yang Rong just asked for warmth, he nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, okay, with a grandson like you, grandpa can wake up with a smile in his dreams." ”

Dizzy, what is this?

Yang Cong shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm asking if you're drunk, I have something serious to tell you." ”

When Yang Rong heard this, he shook his head, and tried to pretend to be serious: "Grandpa's alcohol consumption is not blown, how can you get drunk when you drink this, what's the matter, you say." ”

Well, it's okay to talk about some messy things anyway, so it's better to talk about something serious.

Seeing this, Yang Cong said solemnly: "Grandpa, the imperial court is vigorously purging pirates and pirates, do you know this?" ”

When Yang Rong heard this, he couldn't help sighing and said: "Alas, this Lord Zhu Zhu, what do people say, he is indeed a good official, but unfortunately he is not a place, what is the truth between him and other maritime merchants, he didn't say a word, he was arrested and killed, now it's good, most of the things made by the merchants can't be sold, and everyone has no money to make." ”

Zhu Kun is indeed a bit too conservative, he doesn't understand the economy at all, and he doesn't know how to develop.

However, at this time, Zhu Kun is already dead, and what Yang Cong wants to say is not Zhu Kun's business, he said helplessly: "Don't talk about Lord Zhu's business, grandpa, now it is Sun Er who is in charge of clearing out pirates and pirates." ”

When Yang Rong heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, he found that he seemed to be really off topic.

He hurriedly picked up the strong tea on the table and took a big sip, calmed down, and then said solemnly: "Cong'er, this matter needs to be cautious, don't talk about it for the time being, this purge of pirates is equivalent to cutting off the wealth of the southeast merchants, alas, do you plan to really suppress this pirate or fake it?" ”

Yang Cong said without hesitation: "Of course it's really suppressed, the Nantai Shipyard has begun to manufacture warships, and in less than three years, Sun Er will be able to exterminate the pirates and pirates in one fell swoop, and restore the peace of the people in the southeast." ”

When Yang Rong heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Anning, how can it be peaceful, can this pirate really be wiped out?" People always have to make money, they always have to find a way to survive, if you wipe out all the pirates, many people will not be able to survive because of this, they are not going to take risks and sneak away to do business. ”

He is right about this, now the Ming Dynasty has reached the bottleneck of development, the domestic market can not consume the increasing number of commodities, buy is basically enough, can not afford to buy no more economic sources when can not be counted on, if you want to continue to develop, you must go out, the market bigger.

Of course Yang Cong understood this truth, and he said unhurriedly: "Of course I know this, I mean to clean up the pirates and pirates, and we will do our own business!" ”

When Yang Rong heard this, he was so frightened that he almost swept the teacup to the ground.

He was stunned for a long time, and then he was surprised: "What do you mean, let's learn from that maritime giant?" ”

Yang Cong nodded without hesitation and said: "Yes, someone has to do this business, right, instead of letting others do it, it is better for us to do it ourselves!" ”
