During the banquet, the three of them briefly discussed the matter of supervision, and in the face of problems and difficulties, the three of them each put forward suggestions for solutions.

Regarding the problem of insufficient capital and inability to purchase materials, Tang Xun suggested that he borrow money from the merchant at the trade office, and after the fleet came back to sell the goods, he would return the principal and pay the interest, or absorb the merchant to invest money and shares, and distribute a certain profit to them.

Yang Congyi put forward a request and a suggestion, asking for the conscription of elite troops to go to sea with the fleet, escort the Hui Yi fleet all the way, and suggested that several major official kilns should hurry up and fire porcelain with cyan patterns, and burn as many as they could, and all of them should be returned to the Yi place.

Huang Qi also made a rigid demand: the fleet must go to sea next winter, and there must be no delay.

Yang Congyi and Tang Xun agreed, they supervised the creation of a return to Yi, and there are already some successful experiences to learn from, not too many accidents, and they are ready to go to sea in one year.

At the same time, they also asked Huang Qi to coordinate their demands and proposals with the imperial court as much as possible.

Although Huang Qi knew what kind of people Yang Congyi and Tang Xun were, he suffered heavy losses because he asked Jiang Kai to preside over the return to the Yi last time, so he had to be cautious, so he repeatedly told the two that this return to the Yi must be foolproof, otherwise the court will definitely pursue it, and then they will not be as simple as losing their official positions and resigning, because this time they attach great importance to the return to the official family.

After the banquet was over, Huang Qi left immediately, and before leaving, let them wait quietly, and there would be appointments and replies within three days.

Huang Qi left, Yang Congyi and Tang Xun did not stay too long, chatted briefly about the matter of returning to Yi Duzao, left each other's addresses, and then separated from each other downstairs in Hongbin and left separately.

Three days later, the three of them gathered in a three-entry house in Baomin Fang, and there was a plaque hanging in front of the house, with the words "Hui Yi Office" written on it, which was the place where they met and went public.

In the hall, Huang Qi announced the appointment of Yang Congyi and Tang Xun on behalf of the imperial court.

Yang Congyi was promoted from Wu Xianlang to five levels in a row, promoted to Gong Weilang, and served as the chief envoy of Huiyi Supervision, and was fully responsible for the affairs of Huiyi Supervision.

Tang Xun was promoted from Xun Wulang to five levels in a row, promoted to Wu Jielang, and served as the deputy envoy of Hui Yi Supervision, responsible for Hui Yi Supervision.

Judging from the appointment, the imperial court asked Yang Congyi to lead the Hui Yi supervision, with Tang Xun assisting, and this time unlike in the past, Lord Huang no longer personally participated in this matter.

Sure enough, Huang Qi then told the two of them that he would not participate in this return to the exchange, and he would no longer interfere in everything from the past to the future, and he would only supervise the return to the exchange on behalf of the official family, and provide some help and assistance that was compatible with the ability of reasonableness.

Regarding the requests and suggestions put forward by Yang Congyi and Tang Xun a few days ago, the imperial court did not veto.

The Jingwu army was stationed in Yiwu, and after the coordination between the Privy Council and the front division of the palace, the requisition could be completed and placed under the jurisdiction of the Hui Yi Division.

As for the matter of borrowing money and the merchant's shareholding, the imperial court did not refuse or explicitly agree, but only put forward one and only one demand, that the return office must earn back 50 million yuan in profits.

After Tang Xun asked carefully, Huang Qi told her that the meaning of the imperial court was actually acquiescence, and the imperial court didn't care what to do when it returned to Yi, as long as it earned back 50 million yuan in profits.

Hearing Huang Qi's reply, Tang Xun had a bottom in his heart.

Huang Qi also thought of a way to solve the problem of insufficient capital, he wanted to persuade the court to come up with more money, but the opposition was too loud, and some people were worried that they would lose their money again, so they had to give up. If you want to raise some money in the hands of Xungui, you are also shirking, and the Hui Yi Office already owes 8 million yuan, even if you have money, no one dares to borrow it.

In the end, he could only tell the truth, and the capital of the return was only 5 million yuan, of which 3 million yuan came from the official treasury, and the other 2 million yuan came from the state treasury. However, he had already communicated with several major official kilns and various brocade institutes, and asked them to immediately start recruiting craftsmen to fire porcelain, weave brocade and weave cloth, and supply as much as possible to the Hui Yi place.

There are not many places where Huang Qi can help, and that's all he can do at present, leaving 500,000 bills, he left Huiyi.

There are forbidden guards inside and outside the small return office, they guard the force, and they are also signal soldiers and liaisons.

There is only an empty shell of the return to the place, in addition to the internal and external forbidden army guards, there are only two people, Yang Congyi and Tang Xun, who are extremely deserted for a while in the cold winter.

"Brother Tang, let's divide the work, you have experience in the procurement of goods, you have done a good job before, you are fully responsible, I am responsible for the formation of the fleet, the training of the escort force, the recruitment of manpower, and the logistics supply, etc., what do you think?"

"It's up to Lord Yang's arrangement."

When Yang Congyi heard this, his heart suddenly chuckled, Tang Xun was still estranged.

"You and I have known each other for eight years, either studying together or working together, and have been friends for many years, even if we haven't seen you in recent years, my feelings for you are still sincere. To tell you the truth, your 'adult' makes me feel very unfamiliar, if there is anything to say, let's spread it out and say, is it okay? ”

"Spread it out? Can it be spread out? Do you know what kind of life I have spent in Qiongzhou in the past four years? ”

As he spoke, Tang Xun's eyes were slightly red, staring at Yang Congyi, unable to take his eyes off it.

As soon as he made a slight contact with Tang Xun's gaze, Yang Congyi avoided his gaze, because he really didn't dare to look at the other party's eyes, some things were done wrong, even if they were forced to do something, deception was deception, negative heart was negative heart, and if he was unreasonable, he had no defense.

"It's all my fault, I've made you suffer all these years." Yang Congyi didn't know what to say, all he could do was bow his head and admit his mistakes, this friend was very important to him, and she was one of his few friends for many years.

"What's wrong with you, how can this be your fault? Did you send me to Qiongzhou? ”

The door was closed, Tang Xun's tears rolled down, and the grievances of many years could no longer be suppressed at this moment.

When Yang Congyi saw Tang Xun's tears raining down, he suddenly felt a little flustered in his heart, hesitated again and again, but still got up resolutely, leaned over a few steps, raised his arm, and held her shoulder.

"These let you be wronged alone in Qiongzhou."

Tang Xun didn't answer, just kept crying softly and tears, pouring out her grievances to the fullest.

It took about a quarter of an hour for Tang Xun to completely hold back his tears, and he raised his sleeves to wipe the tears on his face.

"Do your business first, and then settle private accounts with you when I have time."

"Okay, you can do whatever you want."

Yang Congyi replied softly, secretly relieved.

"What can I do? I don't know what my sister-in-law will think when she hears this. ”

Tang Xun raised his red and swollen eyes and looked at the person who was close at hand, as if he wanted to find the answer from the other party's panicked and dodging gaze.

"I'll tell her myself when I have time." Yang Congyi replied softly, unable to tell whether it was from the heart, or at this moment, this situation.

"You still don't tell her, she is a kind-hearted woman, if you really want to, you better wait for the opportunity, I will tell her personally." A glimmer of hope appeared in Tang Xun's eyes, a hint of freshness.

"Okay." Yang Congyi nodded solemnly, the person in front of him must not be disappointed again, otherwise he really can't face himself again.

"Okay, Brother Yang, let's talk about business. The return capital is only 5 million, what are you going to do? Where to raise the money? After the Lin'an reunion, Tang Xun's face showed a smile for the first time, and he looked extremely relaxed.

Yang Congyi shook his head and said: "I don't have a good way, these are either in the army, or in the field, there are not many businessmen who have dealt with them, although I know some huge rich, but I don't have a deep friendship, it is difficult to borrow money from them, and this time it may take a lot of money, not one or two million." What are your thoughts? ”

Tang Xun said: "It's the same as before, invite businessmen, sign a contract, pay on credit, and pay double the payment after two years." On the other hand, you can also borrow money from these merchants, or pull them into the house, and after two years, pay them double the principal interest or profits. But according to my guess, there are not many people who will lend us money, the real rich people are not short of money at all, it doesn't matter if they make money or not, anyway, the family's money can't be eaten for generations, instead of borrowing money to go out to earn some dispensable money, it is better to hide real money in secret things to be safe. ”

"What if you can't borrow money, and the big businessmen can't get back the payment because of the failure of the previous fleet, and they are unwilling to give the goods on credit to the barter? Relying solely on the enlargement of official kilns and brocade courtyards in various places, not much cargo could be raised. ”

The first time I went to sea, there were 15 million pieces of goods, but this time I only had 5 million pieces of money back, and I couldn't purchase enough goods, and it was impossible to make money back when I went to sea empty, and Yang Congyi had a headache for this.

The ocean return is extremely risky, and the imperial court is unwilling to pay more, who can expect to come up with 10 million?

"Regarding the issue of returning the principal, Brother Yang doesn't have to worry too much, if the merchants are unwilling to owe the goods on credit, and they can't raise money from the merchants, I will find another way." When it comes to money, Tang Xun doesn't seem to be very worried.

Although Yang Congyi knew that the Tang family was very rich now, it was impossible for them to come up with millions of yuan in cash, so he was worried, so he asked, "What else can I do?" Ask your uncle for help? ”

Who knew that Tang Xun shook his head and smiled: "Brother Yang, have you forgotten that you still have a huge amount of money?" Do you want me to give you a heads-up? ”

Yang Congyi was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't do business, where would there be a huge amount of money.

"Ten thousand taels of gold." Tang Xun spit out four words softly, and the expression on his face was very mysterious.

As soon as he was reminded, Yang Congyi instantly remembered that Wan Yanliang asked the messenger to bring them 10,000 taels of gold many years ago, when the batch of gold was handed over to Tang Xun for disposal, she deposited it in the bank, and most of the silver notes in exchange were handed over to her for safekeeping, and he then forgot about this time.

"I remember I told you that I used that money to purchase ten ships of goods, and shipped them to the West with the fleet, and I made a lot of money from one after another.
