Language is an art, and Chinese is even more profound and profound, the same sentence, said on different occasions, will represent different meanings, especially for those who have ghosts in their hearts, they will understand many meanings.

Ye Xun took the initiative to visit Wei Guogong, according to the normal understanding, Ye Xun should have come with a humble attitude, but this guy didn't seem to understand what humility meant, and what he said was like trying to find fault and fight, and the expression on his face was also extremely unbeatable.

The old man was still coughing, but the little grandfather's face was a little unbearable, and he frowned and said, "What does Grandpa Ye mean by this?" Is it because you suspect that my family is not in collusion with the rioters? ”

"Huh! The little grandfather misunderstood, the Duke of Wei has been loyal and good for generations, how could he collude with the troubled people? Ben Gong is just relaying the words of Commander Tong, hey! What's wrong with the old man? Do you want to see a doctor? ”

Xu Hongji was choked and coughed violently by Ye Xun's words, and now although he doesn't cough anymore, his old face is flushed, as if he has just recovered from a serious illness.

After breathing a deep sigh of relief, Xu Hongji waved his hand to signal his son not to continue arguing with Ye Xun, and said: "Since Grandpa Ye said so, there must be a villain stirring up trouble, don't say that Grandpa Ye doesn't believe it, even Your Majesty won't believe it, Grandpa Ye, what the old man said is right?" ”

Ye Xun gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's still the old man who is wise."

Speaking of this, Ye Xun's face turned pale and continued: "Let's get down to business!" The old Guogong should know that Ye Mou came to Jiangnan not to trouble the Guogong family, but Ye also hoped that Guogong could cooperate with Ye more"

Xu Wenjue answered coldly: "How to cooperate?" Everyone is you..."

Before he finished speaking, he was glared back by Xu Hongji with his eyes, then looked at Ye Xun, and said lightly: "Since Father-in-law Ye is so honest, then the old man will also say it directly."

"Open the sea ban, benefit the country and the people, the old man absolutely agrees, the issuance of new currency, the reform of the military system, these are all good things, the old man is not a pedantic person, and he will not hold back his father-in-law, but how can my father-in-law ensure that the interests of my Xu family are not violated?"

Since Ye Xun went straight to the point, Xu Hongji didn't beat around the bush anymore, after all, everyone knew that they could do it together, and it wasn't for the sake of drinking at all.

"I don't know if the old man has found it, the officials and rich people of our dynasty have a habit, that is, they are good at collecting land, but in all fairness, the old man thinks that it is the business that makes money quickly, or the land makes money quickly?"

"Many people want to leave the land to future generations, but to put it mildly, can those unscrupulous descendants really keep these lands?"

"Land is the source of the troubles of all dynasties, and those who own the most land are often the first targets of the rebels"

"The purpose of my coming today is to hope that the Guogong can set an example for the gentry and officials in Jiangnan, and dedicate more land than the imperial court requires, in return, fifty percent of the profits brought by the future sea trade will go to the imperial court, the Guogong Mansion will account for one percent, the Jiangnan officials will be one percent, I will take one percent, one percent will be given to the navy, and the last one will be used in the name of Wei Guogong to develop education in Jiangnan."

These words, Ye Xun has been pondering since he left Yangzhou, and the interests are equally divided, only in this way will there be no contradictions.

Listening to Ye Xun's words, Xu Hongji couldn't help but be silent, to be honest, he was moved.

The accumulation of wealth of more than ten generations of the Xu family can be said to be inexhaustible for several lifetimes, and now the imperial court has implemented a new land policy, the north has begun to act, and even Liaodong has been rectified, it is not difficult to see from Ye Xun's Jiangnan that the next target of the imperial court is Jiangnan, and the Xu family is the first to bear the brunt.

If the Xu family chooses to confront at this time, with Ye Xun's means, it is likely to be regarded as a typical cleanup.

Today, Ye Xun is not so much a visit, but an ultimatum to the Xu family.

What Tong Kui confessed was just a reminder to the Xu family, if the Xu family still refused to say something, then Tong Kui might still talk nonsense.

And Ye Xun's shipping interests are for Xu Hongji, don't look at Ye Xun's promise of one percent, but for the Xu family, who secretly operates shipping, they know too much how big the benefits of one percent are.

In the past, the Xu family was only a partner of other maritime merchants, and they had to be secret, even so, it made the Xu family make a lot of money.

Now Ye Xun has given 10% of the proceeds of shipping to the Xu family, which is equivalent to letting the Xu family sit at home and collect money, which is not counting, Ye Xun will also support Jiangnan education in the name of the Xu family, it can be said that this move is a move to make the Xu family gain fame and fortune, if Xu Hongji has other ideas, it is a matter of IQ.

Xu Wenjue on the side thought about it, and seeing that his father had not said anything for a long time, he couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Father..."

Xu Hongji waved his hand and didn't let his son continue, then picked up the wine glass, sighed before saying: "Ye Gonggong's name is really worthy of his reputation, in the past, the old man blamed his father-in-law, this glass of wine should be regarded as the old man to make amends to his father-in-law, father-in-law, please!" ”

Ye Xun finally smiled, and Jiangnan, the most difficult bone to gnaw, was finally won.

Some people may suspect that there are also many vassal kings of the old Zhu family in various parts of the Yangtze River, Ye Xun did not take them first, but found the Xu family first, is it a bit of putting the cart before the horse?

In fact, it is not surprising at all, now in the Ming Dynasty, except for the King of Shu, the other vassal kings are all lords with no real power, and the Xu family is different, not to mention the favor of the emperors of previous dynasties, and they also have a certain strength in the army.

And the Xu family, as a veteran prince in the south of the Yangtze River, is not afraid of Ye Xun's remorse, because this is his territory after all.

Since then, the atmosphere of the banquet has also become warmer, and Xu Wenjue is even more happy, planning to send Ye Xun more than a dozen five or six-year-old little girls.

Looking at Xu Wenjue's lewd expression, Ye Xun really had the urge to pinch him to death, and secretly swore in his heart that he would definitely check out who was ruining his reputation when he turned back, and if he was caught, he must be sent to prison to let him know what the consequences of spreading rumors were.

When he left the Xu family, it was already very late, and this bit of wine was nothing to Ye Xun at all, and when the evening breeze blew, he couldn't help but feel more energetic.

As I walked, I suddenly remembered that when I arrived in Jinling, I had to go to the Qinhuai River to go around!

Ye Xun's identity is a eunuch, even if the Jinling officials have the heart, they don't dare to invite him to the land of fireworks, isn't that scolding?

Now that it's dark, there are few people in Jinling who know him, so he might as well go around.

Ye Xun usually doesn't bring too many guards with him, but when he came to visit the Xu family today, he didn't wear court clothes, and he really thought he was the noble son of that family.

At this time, Jinling can be said to be the largest city in the world, full of flowers, lights all night long, is a veritable oriental city that never sleeps.

Walking in it, Ye Xun seemed to have returned to the afterlife, a familiar and unfamiliar feeling, unconsciously surging into his heart...

Ye Xun didn't know that the Qinhuai River tonight was not only a place he wanted to play, but many people he wanted to see or didn't want to see also gathered on the Qinhuai River...
