A holy decree came, and Yang Cong's trip to the southwest came to an abrupt end.

Jiajing didn't say anything in the holy decree, didn't criticize him, didn't praise him, and said a few nonsense, which summed up in one meaning: You go back to Beijing!

Yang Cong could only sigh, there was no other way.

He originally wanted to go to Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places to take a turn, arrest corrupt officials, open up terraced fields, and do his part for the people in the southwest, but unfortunately, there was no chance.

These people are shameless, for their own selfish interests, they care about the lives and deaths of the people, they don't think about the people, they just want to do something practical for the people, like him, they have to do their best to pull down the horse.

People, once selfish, are so shameless that they are terrible!

At this time, Yang Cong was a little disheartened, Xia Yan controlled the cabinet, Yan Song controlled the ministry, the two most important yamen of the imperial court were in their hands, Jiajing, a foolish and confused favored Yan Song, is there any hope for this imperial court?

To be honest, he didn't see much hope, at least, not at this point.

Of course, he will not give up lightly, but everything that is great has a spirit of perseverance, and a momentary setback cannot knock him down, he is just a little confused for the time being.

How can this situation be reversed?

With a hint of confusion, he reluctantly embarked on the journey back to Beijing.

From Nanning to the capital, it stands to reason that he should go north, but he did the opposite, taking a group of personal guards and the elite guards under Yu Dayou, all the way to the south.

Of course, he didn't want to go around the South Pole and prove that the Earth is round.

He just wanted to go to Annam and see how business was going on in the southeast peninsula.

At this time, the southeast coast of Daming has been controlled by him, and it is naturally much faster to take a boat than to take a land route, he is going to go to Annan for a turn, and then go to Quanzhou to pick up his family, and then take a boat to the north.

In this way, although the distance is long, the time spent on the road can be shortened by more than half, and he has time to go around.

The group came to Yong'an Prefecture in a mighty way, and then stepped on the fleet that had been waiting there for a long time, and went straight to Annam.

In order to facilitate the Yang family's business, Mo Dengyong even built a super-large wharf for the Yang family along the Yuan River near Thang Long City, and set aside a large area near the wharf for the Yang family to build warehouses, shops and other ancillary facilities.

The Yang family was building a lot here, and traders from all over Annam and even from the southeast countries also flocked to the area, and every day this area was full of traffic, and all kinds of goods were basically snapped up by the traders who had been waiting there for a long time as soon as they got off the boat.

Many wealthy businessmen of Daming and Annam also saw business opportunities, and built a lot of restaurants, teahouses, inns and other leisure and entertainment facilities here, making it like a metropolis in general, and its prosperity has even surpassed the nearby capital city of Annam Shenglong.

Yang Cong stood in the private room at the highest point of Mo's Restaurant, looked at the prosperous scene below through the window, and couldn't help but admire: "Master Mo, I didn't expect you to be so good at business, not only did you build such a prosperous place, but also built such a big restaurant, if you were born in Daming, our Yang family may not be able to compare with you." ”

When Mo Dengyong on the side heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Lord Yang said that I laughed, I learned from your Yang family's shopkeepers and stewards, and the prosperity here is also the credit of your Yang family, as for this restaurant, I am not afraid of your jokes, when I was still fishing on the Yuanjiang River, I once dreamed that one day I would build a restaurant next to the Yuanjiang River, and I would let the cook do whatever I wanted to eat. ”

Yang Cong laughed and said, "My biggest dream was probably to be the king of Annan, right?" ”

Mo Dengyong shook his head and smiled: "Where, where, I was a fisherman at that time, how could I think about being the king of Annam, but the world was chaotic later, and I was forced to have no choice, so I had to work hard to survive, but I didn't expect to become a hero with mixed mixes, to that extent, if you don't become a king, the whole family and the brothers who work hard with you are likely to be finished, no way, no way, hahahaha." Now that I think about it, I still feel comfortable when this Annan capital is in charge, and I spend a lot of time eating, drinking, and enjoying life every day, so I don't have to worry about when the enemy will come to my door. ”

Yang Cong shook his head and beckoned him to return to the wine table, drinking heartily while arranging Annan's personnel.

Although Annan is nominally under the jurisdiction of Mo Dengyong, the commander of the capital, in fact, it is Yang Cong who is in charge behind the scenes, there is no way, at this time, Annan's garrison is all pro-army brought out by Yang Cong, and Annan's economy is basically in the hands of the Yang family, he can't listen to Yang Cong!

However, Mo Dengyong did not have the slightest dissatisfaction with this, because his life was so comfortable at this time, what to eat, drink, and enjoy life, it was not a joke, he was enjoying life at this time, comparable to the life of an emperor, and he didn't have to care about so many things about the emperor.

At this time, their Mo clan has become rich because of the monopoly of the business in the southeast peninsula, and the annual income is even higher than the tax of the entire Annan, and the common people of Annan are also becoming more and more prosperous because of the gradual development of business activities, what else can he pursue, why should he risk his death to offend Yang Cong?

At this time, he was determined to follow Yang Cong, even if Yang Cong had no official position in Daming, he would not betray, because he knew that the power in Yang Cong's hands was no longer comparable to ordinary Ming officials, and even, the Ming Emperor was not as good as others!

Yang Cong didn't want to deprive Mo Dengyong of his power, he just arranged for some of his own people to be in charge of the military and politics, as long as the military power was in hand, Mo Dengyong didn't dare to play any moths.

In the end, he decided that Lu Bo and Liu Xian would be appointed as the commanders of the Annan capital, and they would command the elite of the 20,000 Ming troops stationed in Thang Long and Thanh Hoa respectively.

After Annan's entourage ended, he took Yu Dayou and other cronies all the way north by boat and came to the Yongning Acropolis in Quanzhou Mansion.

At this time, almost all the descendants of the Yang family have moved into the Yongning Acropolis, his father and mother have also put down the business of Yanyin and returned to preside over the overall situation, and his grandfather Yang Rong has retired to enjoy his old age.

This Yongning Wei commander Li Xixian is also a bit in-law with him, and this guy's background is also quite deep, ordinary local officials don't dare to do anything to him at all, put his family in Yongning Acropolis, don't worry about security, it's this southeast business, I don't know if Zhao Wenhua will do anything.

He is such a busy man and finally came back, the family naturally wants to get together, at this time the Yang family, the Li family, and the Yu family have basically been blended together through in-law relations, and the whole family gathers to drink together, but it is very lively.

However, just as everyone was drinking happily, Yu Dayou said in his ear depressedly: "Qingfeng, I don't want to go back to Guangxi, do you see if you can transfer me back to Fujian to be the chief soldier?" ”

This guy, it is estimated that he is reluctant to be his little lady, Yang Cong's eyes rolled, and he pretended to shake his head and smiled bitterly: "What are you looking for me to do about this, I am not the governor of the five provinces at this time, and I can't adjust it if I want to." ”

Yes!

Yu Dayou couldn't help but wonder: "Then what should I do?" I really don't want to go back to Guangxi, you are not there anymore, and the matter of Annan has been resolved, why am I still there? ”

Yang Cong saw his humble appearance, and couldn't help laughing and said: "What are you anxious about, if you want to go back to Fujian, it's easy, just let your father-in-law repair a book, his old man's ability is great." ”
