The Longxi Chen family and the Zhangpu Lin family were planted, and the strength shown by Yang Cong really impressed the local tyrants, squires and merchants from all walks of life in Fujian, and the fame of the Yang family in Hui'an also rose.

At this time, the steward and shopkeeper of the Yang family went out again and said that the merchants who were still hesitant chose to give up the maritime giants and instead threw themselves into the arms of the Yang family.

Sometimes people are so realistic, as long as they can make money, they will follow whom, what favors, what relationships, what faces, it doesn't matter.

After Yang Cong won this big victory, he seemed to be a little relaxed, and he actually took his two wives and followed Yu Dayou to visit Li Xixian in Yongning Acropolis.

If you look at the relationship on Lu Linger's side, Li Xixian can be regarded as his uncle, and it is normal for him to return to Quanzhou and visit.

But is this really the case?

Of course not!

After a lively time, Lu Linger and Zhang Zhen accompanied Li Xiuer to the inner house to whisper, but Yang Cong pulled Li Xixian and Yu Dayou into the study, closed the door, and seemed to have something important to say.

At this time, Li Xixian admired this nephew and son-in-law, this kid is simply amazing.

When we first met, this kid was just a little child, and he didn't even have a reputation, and at that time he thought that this kid was very likely to be unable to climb his niece.

Who would have thought that in the past few years, people have not only been the top in high school, but also have risen all the way, and in a blink of an eye, they have become the right deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, the squire of the military department, and the governor of Zhejiang.

At this time, it was not him who climbed the Lu family, but the Lu family who climbed him, you must know that in these years, civil officials are much more powerful than martial arts, although Lu Song and Lu Bing are both commanders of the three grades, but they are nothing in front of Yang Cong, the feudal official of the three grades, if the Lu family does not have the relationship of the emperor, in front of Yang Cong, they are simply not fart.

As for him, the commander of the guard post of the third grade, it is even more nothing, the governor of the people's four provinces and one capital, and there are hundreds of commanders of the guard post under his hands, and even the commander of the second grade has to listen to others, what is he, the commander of the Yongning Guard.

He didn't think that he could be superior to others by virtue of his sister's relationship with the emperor, as soon as Yang Cong closed the door, he pulled Yang Cong to push the main seat, looking respectful, and almost nodded his head.

Yang Cong pretended to be humble, and finally sat on the throne "reluctantly", no way, this year's dignity and humility are divided according to the "heaven and earth monarch and teacher", his governor represents the imperial power, and is faintly ranked in front of the kinship, if this Li Xixian is his father-in-law, he may have to be humble, the problem is that Li Xixian is just his wife's uncle, there is no need to be humble, after all, from the officialdom, this Li Xixian is his subordinate, and the majesty of Shangguan cannot be lost.

After he sat down, he motioned to Li Xixian and Yu Dayou to move two chairs and sit in front of the desk, and then smiled: "Uncle, I'm sorry, due to the rush of time, I transferred Zhifu to be the chief soldier without permission before I had time to discuss with you, causing their young couple to get together less and leave more, please forgive me." ”

Saying this, the general soldier is much stronger than his small guard commander, and it is too late for him to be happy, Li Xixian hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Thank you for your cultivation, Shisuke can meet an adult, that is his blessing." ”

Yang Cong nodded slightly, and then looked at the furnishings in the study pretendedly, and then smiled again: "Uncle, the layout of your study is a little too shabby, isn't it a lack of money?" ”

What does this mean?

When it comes to money, who in this Quanzhou Mansion can compare with your Hui'an Yang family.

Li Xixian was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The lower official is a rough person, and the study is actually just a decoration, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." ”

Unexpectedly, Yang Cong shook his head again and again and said: "You can't say that, these years have been supporting the bold, starving the timid, the uncle is a dignified and third-grade master, but he has lived such a poor life, I am really a little sorry for myself." ”

What does this mean?

Li Xixian was stunned by Yang Cong, although he was not greedy, he would not be polite to the filial piety of his subordinates, at this time he didn't say that he made too much, there were still tens of thousands of taels of silver, is this still called poverty?

He was stunned for a long time, and then said with a little embarrassment: "My lord, the lower official is stupid, I don't know what the adult understands?" ”

Yang Cong couldn't help but snort and laughed: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's just a chance to make money, I don't know if my uncle is interested in participating in it." ”

When Li Xixian heard this, he was even more dizzy, this Yang Cong is not a corrupt official, he has never heard of anyone impeaching Yang Cong for corruption, just with the financial resources of the Yang family, there is no need for people to be corrupt, but what people said clearly implied that he was greedy!

He doesn't care very much about whether he is greedy or not, corruption is rampant these years, if you are not greedy, then it is strange, what is Yang Cong talking about, he doesn't understand.

He couldn't help but be curious: "My lord, I don't know what the opportunity is?" ”

Yang Cong said lightly: "It's very simple, it's to do maritime business." ”

Yes!

At this time, not only Li Xixian was surprised, but Yu Dayou, who was honestly sitting on the side, was startled.

What are you kidding, isn't doing maritime business just fornicating with the Japanese bandits, but you "old man" is here to suppress the Japanese and run to do the maritime business, isn't this a prison guard and self-theft!

Li Xixian is not the kind of person who is upright, but he still has a bottom line for some things, he hesitated for a while, and then said carefully: "My lord, it's a little wrong, okay?" ”

Yang Cong still said lightly: "Tongwai, that is to assist the Japanese to loot everywhere, we are doing business with the Dongying countries, how can we be compared?" ”

Does this make a difference?

Li Xixian thought for a while, but still didn't think of much difference between the two, he could only continue to persuade: "My lord, it's not that we don't have money, why do we have to do that kind of dangerous thing?" ”

When Yang Cong heard this, he shook his head and sighed: "Uncle, you don't know, I came to clean up the pirates and the Japanese court this time and did not provide food, and the emperor's intention was to deduct from the Yang family's salt profits." This salt introduction is indeed very profitable, and in a year, our Yang family can also earn hundreds of thousands of taels, but at this time, the four southeastern provinces and one capital alone have gathered as many as 60,000 tunwei troops, and this year, without two million taels, it will not be able to maintain it at all. ”

It turned out that this was the case, Li Xixian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "This, this court does not pay military expenses, let your Yang family bear it!" How much profit can be made in the maritime business, can you afford to raise this army of 60,000? ”

Yang Cong pretended to estimate: "The four giants of the maritime business are all real wealthy families, and a family can't sustain it without hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in a year, I estimate that the profit of this maritime business should be about two million taels, otherwise, uncle, you can do a favor and solve the problem of the port, I will give you a share of the profit every year, what do you think?" In addition, I also asked Wenming on the side, and he agreed to help us top it in the capital, and I also gave him a share of the profits. ”

This!

Is this maritime business so profitable?

It is more than 2 million taels a year, and one percent is more than 200,000 taels!

Do you want to do this or not?

Li Xixian pondered for a while, but still decided, do it!
