"Why don't you get two bowls of sugar water? These two are the ones I specially invited to read and write a happy couplet for our Haiqing! Liu Laohan instructed his wife to prepare sugar water for Yang Ming and Liu Yi, and at the same time greeted the two: "Two please!" ”

With four main houses, he was considered a well-off family in this generation, and it could be seen that the old man was very satisfied with his home, and he went out after the two of them sat on the stools in the main house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

borrowed pen and ink, went back to the house and took two pieces of red paper that had been prepared a long time ago, and Liu Lao Khan waited for the two scholars to help write the couplet.

"Let's come to Liu Gong!" Yang Ming smiled and said: "It is said that Liu Gong is also famous in Shilin for writing books and flying dragons and phoenixes, and with your Mobao, I believe that these two newcomers will inevitably grow old and have many sons and blessings!" ”

"Alright! The old man will make an exception to write once today! Liu Yi stroked her beard and showed a smile on her face.

His rare compliments to Yang Ming are very useful, and it is a very rare thing to be praised by Yang Ming.

Yang Ming saw that Liu Yi was stunned, and he didn't break it, so he picked up the ink stick and started to study the ink on the inkstone sprinkled with water.

"Hahaha! It would be in vain to let Yang Ming and Yang Zile give me Liu Yi Yanmo! Looking at the whole Ming Dynasty, it is still the first time that the old man has experienced it! Liu Yi lifted the pen and dipped the ink, and said with a smile when the brush was full of thick ink: "Sure enough, it is worthy of being a talent for exploring flowers today, and this ink grinding is also extraordinarily fragrant, which has a unique charm!" ”

He didn't know that his words were completely despised by Liu Laohan.

Talent for exploring flowers? It's a joke! It's really a big man who is an official, how can it be two businessmen who do business in Huidong City? Don't look at the book for two days and think you can't afford it, the article is actually worth it when it's used, and you can compare to Lord Yang in Huizhou Mansion if you have talent?

In Liu Laohan's heart, only the prefect who strategized and let the people of Huizhou Mansion eat meat with just a piece of salt pan can be regarded as a real talent, as for other officials or so-called scholars, they are at best just half a jar, such a person has no ability, and he is a clever means to harm the people.

However, although he was disdainful, Liu Laohan was still happy to put away the few couplets written by Liu Yi.

I don't know if I write it so fast or not, it's better than nothing! However, with these couplets, he will definitely not be able to save a lot of money.

drank a cup of coarse tea from Liu Laohan's house, said goodbye to Liu Laohan, and the two smiled and looked around for fun.

Today is actually a way for the two of them to come out and find trouble.

"Yang Ming, are you still used to the coarse tea just now?" Walking on the official road, Liu Yi asked Yang Ming with a smile, Liu Laohan's coarse tea just now didn't know how long it had been stored, and said that sugar water, if there is no sugar water, take some tea foam to fill it, although he didn't drink any tea flavor, but when he saw Yang Ming's eyebrows wrinkled and deflated, he felt comfortable for no reason.

"Tastes good! I'm not as expensive as you think, this kind of tea didn't even dare to think about it when I was young, the reason why I frowned just now is because I was thinking about another thing, it seems that the time is really a little short, and it must be arranged properly before I go back to Shuzhong! Yang Ming stopped and asked Liu Yi, "What do you think I would do if I took those old tea leaves from those tea trees and sold them?" During this time, I also learned about it, and it seems that our Daming tea seems to be very popular abroad! Though... Tea is a little old, but it always tastes like tea, doesn't it? ”

"If it smells of tea, it's even tea?" Liu Yi was a little surprised, Yang Ming's statement made him feel a little ruined.

"Of course! Isn't the leaf of the tea tree tea leaf tea leaves? Yang Ming looked at Liu Yi curiously and said, "Tea is a noble drink for us, but not for other foreigners!" The perennial greasy has been cold in the winter, and they can't get the supplement of chlorophyllin, so even the worthless old tea leaves in your eyes are a rare good thing for them. Besides, don't you think that the older the tea, the stronger the brewing taste? It's a little less fragrant, but I don't think those who are foul-mouthed will care about these things. ”

"This is another way you came up with after drinking that old man's coarse tea just now?" Liu Yi was a little speechless, doing business to this extent also opened his eyes, even some tea sticks dare to be regarded as real tea sellers, who would think that he is not a ruthless character.

However, he seemed to have thought of something, so he asked Yang Ming: "Speaking of business, the old man remembers that you seem to have asked Yang Wanli to help you bring a lot of things to sea, and there are more than 20 sea ships, where did you send the things?" And which of you Zhang Wencai Brother Zhang seems to be on the ship, if it is transported to Jingshi, the old man does not believe that you will let him make a move. And the most important thing is that Zhang Wencai seems to have not appeared in our sight for a long time, since he transported the grain in Shuzhong to Sinan at that time, he seems to have disappeared, which makes me very uneasy! I always feel that you are doing a big thing, but this big event makes the old man have a sense of crisis! ”

"Naturally, it can't be a Jingshi, but the way of business is not something you and I participate in, for us to be the right way for the emperor and herdsmen, so during the period when I left Guangdong, you should help me take good care of the sea salt produced in the salt fields, you know that many nomads have our business, since the emperor did not hesitate to give me a title of Shu Guanghou, as a nobleman, I think it is necessary for me to dedicate my talents to the Ming Dynasty, and by the way, help the treasury get more silver, In this way, I will not disappoint the expectations of the imperial court! ”

The more Yang Ming tried to divert the topic, the more Liu Yi felt that something was wrong. ，

It is true that Yang Ming's words are absolutely impeccable, the court not only gave him the title of a marquis, but also gave him a princess of the dynasty, such a favor is definitely not a so-called repayment, and judging from his observation of Yang Ming, Yang Ming does not seem to be as rumored, the two have a private relationship.

But the fact is the opposite, only Princess Yongchun is interested in Yang Ming, and in the chat between the old wife and Li Yanran, the eldest lady of the Yang family, it seems that Li Yanran also agrees with this family affair.

Judging from Yang Ming's performance in the past two days, it seems that he hates troubles, and now Yang Ming should not have any troubles, Jinke Tanhua is big and small, his career is smooth, and the emperor and the court rely on him, such a day is simply a spring breeze, why is he more and more anxious in the past two days?

The most important thing is that after receiving the holy decree, he didn't take Princess Yongchun back to Shuzhong to get married, and actually found some unsounding excuses to stay in Guangdong, as if waiting for someone.

Who is he waiting for? What is the purpose?

This made Liu Yi very puzzled!

"Yang Ming, what are you doing? Just like I asked you just now, what agreement did you reach with Yang Wanli, and where did Zhang Wencai go with those twenty sea ships? The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was wrong, and Liu Yi's voice already had a faint taste of questioning.

"You still can't trust me?" Yang Ming smiled slightly and asked Liu Yilai rhetorically.

"It's not that I can't trust you, otherwise I wouldn't have been ignoring your affairs for so long!" Liu Yi turned his head to look at the magnificent sea, and said: "It's you, what you did during this time seems to have some secrets, even I conceal it strictly, as the general judgment of Huizhou Mansion, I have the responsibility of supervision, I can't ignore this matter, and I can't ignore it!" ”

Liu Yi's eyes had a kind of determination, it was not that he couldn't trust Yang Ming, but that Yang Ming was too mysterious during this time, and even the officials of the entire Guangdong Province had become mysterious, and the recent frequent movements of the army and sailors, and the constant coming and going of sea ships, made him feel very abnormal, and the most uneasy thing for him was that the goods they were carrying should not be Haiyan.

But 0.... If not sea salt, then what? Huizhou has no other local products other than sea salt and some dried fish, even cement is impossible, although cement has already been set as a project that will generate income in the future, but now those cements are not enough for Huidong to build salt pans, so he concluded that those goods must not be these things.

But if it is not a specialty of Huizhou Mansion, then what is it worth Yang Ming to ask the Guangdong sailor to spend such a big price to transport?

That's the crux of the matter!

Liu Yi felt that if this problem was solved, then Yang Ming's motives would be clear and clear.

"You really want to know?" Yang Ming looked at Liu Yi, his eyes were unblinking, and he seemed to be deciding whether to tell Liu Yi or not.

"Yes!" Liu Yi only replied one word, but it was sonorous and powerful, and she looked at Yang Ming without squinting with an undoubted taste.

If so, look at each other.

"Alright! Let me tell you, it's actually not a big deal, it's just asking Mr. Yang to help me transport some tiles to the Japanese country! Yang Ming said that the clouds are light and the wind is light.

However, his indifferent words scared Liu Yi half to death.

"You.... You...."I said two words in succession, but Liu Yi didn't say it.

"What am I?" Yang Ming still had a smile on his face, and smiled at Liu Yi: "Do you want to tell me about Taizu's ban on the sea when the armor did not go to the sea?" Or do you want to tell me it's a great crime to kill your head? ”

"Do you still know the ban on Taizu not going to the sea? Do you know that this is a crime of murder? Liu Yi was roaring, such a big crime would not be too much even if the Yang family was beheaded, he couldn't imagine why Yang Ming acted like this, could it be that a person would even risk killing his head for money?

And in his opinion, the coal group also seems to have problems.

The coal group has always played a role in threading the needle, and now Guangdong has basically been built into a huge net by Yang Ming with silver, whether it is a civilian official or a military general, they all play their respective roles in this big net.

Thinking of this, Liu Yi was afraid!

For the first time, his body was a little trembling!

"I believe that when I go back to Jingshi to think about Your Majesty's thanksgiving, they will thank me with a big ship of five million taels of silver!" Yang Ming smiled and said to Liu Yi: "Do you know that the current capital has already begun to discuss the issue of the opening of the sea ban, and more importantly, His Majesty has no objection, as long as I bring the silver back, do you think those voices of the sea ban in the court will still exist?"

With this silver, the Ming Dynasty has enough money and food to do what the rolling princes want to do, and I only do these things out of loyalty to the dynasty and gratitude to the emperor, I can tell you very frankly that I didn't take a big money in it, not a single one! Believe it or not, that's just the way it is! ”

"But ....." Hearing Yang Ming say this, Liu Yi's confidence was a little shaken, and Yang Ming said that if he didn't take the money, he definitely didn't take the money.

What's more, with Yang Ming's means, it is too simple to think of a way to get rich, and with Yang Ming's character, it seems that he will not care about that bit of silver.

"No, but! Wait! When Counselor Tong and they come back with a load full of silver, you'll think I'm doing the right thing! Their people burn and plunder on our land, and I am only helping them to atone for their sins! You don't have any psychological burden, we are not wrong to do this, you think that with this silver we can buy food in the surrounding countries, and we can also use this silver to build the country, whether it is to repair the city wall or reward the three armies, or for people's livelihood, I think it is a good choice, do you say? ”

"But how much money can you earn by shipping those tiles to the sea so far away from the Wa Kingdom?" Liu Yi still has some trust in Yang Ming in the end, although she still has some opposition, but her tone has been much looser.

"I believe that when I go back to Jingshi to think about Your Majesty's thanksgiving, they will thank me with a big ship of five million taels of silver!" Yang Ming smiled and said to Liu Yi: "Do you know that the current capital has already begun to discuss the issue of the opening of the sea ban, and more importantly, His Majesty has no objection, as long as I bring the silver back, do you think those voices of the sea ban in the court will still exist?"

"But how much money can you earn by shipping those tiles to the sea so far away from the Wa Kingdom?" Liu Yi still has some trust in Yang Ming in the end, although she still has some opposition, but her tone has been much looser.
