?? When Yang Xiaotian and his entourage arrived in Yangzhou, Wu Zeyun, the governor of Nanzhili, ordered Du Lanting, the official of the county yahu in Jiangdu County, to be arrested, and the crime was to bend the law for bribes and enrich his own pockets.

Wu Zeyun received a report that the evidence was sufficient to prove that Du Lanting had committed serious ink corruption, and the anonymous person said in the report letter that if Wu Zeyun ignored the case, he would file a complaint with the Nanjing Criminal Department.

Jiangdu County, as the Yiguo County of Yangzhou Prefecture, is naturally the most abundant oil and water in the Yamen of Damingzhou County, not to mention the key departments such as households, even the workshop and the military room can think of ways to make money, who makes the rich businessmen in Yangzhou City more.

Wu Zeyun is a member of the Qi Party, although the Jingcha in the 45th year of Wanli was presided over by people from the camp of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, but the Qi Party was responsible, during which not only the Donglin Party was dealt a blow like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, but also implicated many people from the Zhejiang Party, which caused the dissatisfaction of the Zhejiang Party.

Later, the Zhejiang Party united with the Chu Party to carry out a counterattack against the Qi Party, and although the two sides later shook hands and made peace, the alliance between them had begun to show cracks.

In view of the fact that Yangzhou is an important territory of the Zhejiang Party, Wu Zeyun did not want to make any big moves during this tour of Nanzhili, so as not to stimulate the relationship between the Qi Party and the Zhejiang Party again.

But now that someone has handed him all the evidence, if Wu Zeyun is still indifferent, then he will not only lose his face, but also weaken the reputation of the Qi Party, and think that the Qi Party is afraid of the Zhejiang Party.

Therefore, Wu Zeyun ordered the arrest of Du Lanting, anyway, Du Lanting is just a small official, and it is a big deal to punish him severely after verifying his criminal evidence, and by the way, he can also sell a favor to Jiangdu County Ya and Yangzhou Fuya.

As for Du Lanting being the second son of Du Boqing, vice president of the Salt Merchants Association, Wu Zeyun didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that he would still be afraid of a businessman in his dignified patrol history? It's just a big deal to leave Wu Zeyun alive, if the people of the Du family want to blame, they can only blame someone for sending the handle of Du Lanting to him.

The wharf of Yangzhou Mansion was crowded, many gentry and merchants of Yangzhou City welcomed the arrival of Yang Xiaotian and his party, and the canal undertook the busy transportation, so if you did not have a good relationship with the Cao Gang, then the transportation would definitely be subject to a lot of constraints in the future.

On such an important occasion, the deputy gang of the Cao Gang advocated that Tie Shan naturally could not be absent, no matter how Yang Xiaotian was also the leader of the gang, if he didn't go, he would mess up the etiquette and give people a handle.

At the same time, there was also the **** boss Qin Wuye in Yangzhou, the Cao Gang also has a lot of industries in Yangzhou, and the **** power is even better than Qin Wuye, although Qin Wuye felt embarrassed, he still came, and it was extremely important to maintain a harmonious relationship with the Cao Gang.

Not to mention Qin Wuye and Zhang Tieshan, even the father of the third prince also came to the dock, the so-called big things are not informal, if you want to mix like a fish in water in the market, you must first have a thick skin, know how to follow the red top white and tend to be inflammatory, he doesn't want to pile up the salt in the warehouse and can't transport it.

Yang Xiaotian, as the leader of the Cao Gang, has been immersed in the rivers and lakes for decades, has rich social experience, and has long been accustomed to the kind of things that tend to be inflammatory, and are red and white, so he naturally will not fall out with Zhang Tieshan and others like young people who are not deeply involved in the world, but pretend to be enthusiastic and make peace with everyone, which makes the atmosphere at the scene very relaxed and pleasant.

Everyone has set up a banquet in the restaurant for Yang Xiaotian to pick up the wind and wash the dust, Yang Xiaotian happily went, during the banquet, everyone staggered, talked and laughed, a happy scene, as if everyone had forgotten the previous unhappiness.

When Yang Xiaotian was busy entertaining, Yang Li'er led the Lu family to the mansion where Li Hongyu lived, where he met Li Hongyu and Naren Tuoya.

Li Hongyu knew that Yang Li'er had arrived in Yangzhou today, so he deliberately waited for her at home, preparing to meet Yang Xiaotian and the Lu family.

Lu's visit this time was naturally to thank Li Hongyu for his help to Yang Li'er, so he brought a rich gift, Li Hongyu knew that this was Yang Xiaotian and Lu's heart, so he naturally smiled at this heart.

In fact, although Yang Li'er had known Li Hongyu's address for a long time, she had never visited her for safety, and this was her first time coming.

It wasn't until they met Naren Tuoya that Yang Li'er and the Lu family understood why Li Hongyu had such good archery skills, and it turned out that the concubine was a Mongolian woman.

After talking with Li Hongyu, the more Lu likes the gentle and elegant Li Hongyu is mother-in-law and son-in-law, the more he likes it, the personable son in front of him can be described as both civil and military, and the word on Xiao Qinhuai is enough to show his outstanding literary brilliance.

It's a pity that Yang Li'er and Li Hongyu met too late, the two are inseparable, Lu shook his head secretly in his heart, Li Hongyu has already married his wife, how can Yang Li'er become his concubine?

It's also strange to say, maybe Yang Li'er's experience won Naren Tuoya's sympathy, or Yang Li'er had a reckless aura that Naren Tuoya liked, so Naren Tuoya and Yang Li'er actually hit it off at first sight and talked very speculatively.

Lu Shi not only came to thank Li Hongyu this time, but also probed Li Hongyu's background on the side, Li Hongyu had already prepared and answered her in an orderly manner.

Li Hongyu is naturally not afraid of being interrogated by the Lu family, he only said that he is from Xiangyang Mansion, Huguang, and did not reveal the specific place, with Lu's experience, it can naturally be seen that Li Hongyu does not want to talk too much about his origin, so the Lu family will stop in moderation and will not break the casserole to ask the end.

After all, Li Hongyu is not familiar with Yang Xiaotian and the Lu family now, so it is naturally inconvenient to say some things.

Yang Li'er and Lu's are distinguished guests from afar, Li Hongyu must do his landlord's friendship, set up a family banquet to entertain the two, the banquet is dominated by Mongolian dishes, Yang Li'er and Lu's are used to eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also a different kind of enjoyment to taste Mongolian delicacies.

Early the next morning, Yang Xiaotian dressed neatly, took a letter of worship and generous gifts to the Yangzhou Mansion to meet Li Hongyu, and thanked Li Hongyu for letting him go.

After waiting in the wing room for about an hour, a guard came to tell Yang Xiaotian that Li Hongyu had urgent business to deal with, so he couldn't see him, and asked him to leave the gifts he brought and go back with peace of mind, and the matter of the casino had been written off.

Although Yang Xiaotian felt a little disappointed, since Li Hongyu had already accepted his gift, it showed that he had no problem with him, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and left easily.

Since arriving in Yangzhou City, the dignitaries and nobles of Yangzhou City have sent countless valuable gifts, and they all want to make friends with Li Hongyu, a rising star in the officialdom with unlimited careers.

Li Hongyu is the one who came did not refuse to let people accept all those gifts and gift lists, after returning to Beijing, he will also give gifts to many powerful people in the imperial court, which can be used at that time, no matter how to say some unspoken rules in this officialdom, he can't ignore them, he doesn't expect those powerful people to help him anything, at least don't delay at the critical moment.

After Yang Xiaotian left the government, he went straight to the residence of the personnel of the Customs Department in Yangzhou City, one was to pay 300,000 taels of silver, and the other was to take the relevant vouchers to officially register the identity of his supplier in the Customs Department.

After registering his identity information, the staff of the Customs Department told Yang Xiaotian that a meeting of 20 suppliers would be held at the residence of the Customs Department staff tomorrow morning, and that a chamber of commerce responsible for transactions with overseas countries would be set up at that time, so that Yang Xiaotian must participate on time.

If it weren't for Yang Xiaotian, this matter would have been done a long time ago, so Li Hongyu has been dragging it until Yang Xiaotian's arrival, and the most powerful chamber of commerce in the history of the Ming Dynasty is about to be born.

In the evening, Yang Xiaotian pushed away a lot of entertainment at hand, and held a banquet to invite Li Hongyu in the courtyard of Yangzhou City, and expressed his gratitude to Li Hongyu for helping Yang Li'er.

To Yang Xiaotian's surprise, he found that Li Hongyu looked younger than he thought before, but he was stable and did not have the impulse of a young man.

"Li Gongzi, I don't hide it, I am not proficient in commercial affairs, I don't know how Li Gongzi views doing business with overseas countries."

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Yang Xiaotian put down the wine glass in his hand and asked Li Hongyu with a smile, he usually pays attention to Cao Yun matters, so his actions in the business field are limited, and he knows little about overseas trade, so he wants to ask Li Hongyu for advice.

In Yang Xiaotian's view, since Li Hongyu encouraged Han Wenkui to participate in overseas trade, he must be very optimistic about the prospects of overseas trade, but he can't see any good future for overseas trade at this time.

"Gang Leader Yang, in my opinion, this time the emperor opened the trade between the Ming Dynasty and overseas countries, one is to promote the national prestige and let the overseas countries know that my Ming Dynasty is a country of heaven with outstanding people and rich materials, and the other is to enable the commercial goods of the Ming Dynasty and overseas countries to circulate, enrich the market, and both sides can profit from it."

Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, this question naturally couldn't be difficult for him, so he looked at Yang Xiaotian and said in an orderly manner, "The third is to give me a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a Ming businessman to open up overseas markets, so that my Ming businessman can make a career overseas." ”

"Finally, the opening of overseas trade enables me to carry out economic and cultural exchanges with overseas countries, as the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing the other side can not be defeated, in recent years, I heard that the national strength of overseas countries has grown rapidly, and Ming has to guard against it!"

Saying that, Li Hongyu's expression became solemn, and he said to Yang Xiaotian without worry, "Gang Leader Yang, in recent years, the Hongmaoyi of the West have invaded Nanyang and other places, and have harassed the coastal areas of my Daming, presumably Gang Leader Yang knows about this, if my Daming is indifferent, I will inevitably be bullied and attacked by it in the future." ”

"Those red-haired people have eaten the courage of ambitious leopards, and they dare to fight our Ming idea?"

Because this banquet belongs to the nature of a family banquet, so Yang Li'er, Lu and Yang Li'er's two brothers and sisters-in-law were all able to participate, hearing that Li Hongyu was angry and destroyed his own prestige, he immediately looked at Li Hongyu unconvinced and said, you must know that in the minds of the people, the Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, how dare those overseas Fanyi offend?
