After more than three months of captivity, the person is still the same person, but his mentality is completely different, Tang Yi is becoming more and more calm and deep, and he will not do anything beyond his ability, no matter how great the temptation is.

At the same time, he doesn't hope for luck and luck, just like a super boss like Yang Bo, people will never come to see him because of curiosity, and he will not come to ridicule jokes.

Yang Bo's appearance means that his case has taken a turn for the better, and most of his head is saved, but in response to that sentence, it is not profitable to be early, Yang Bo came, and promised to have some attempts, or to get some benefits from himself. Tang Yi directly made his words clear, which made Yang Bo stunned.

He also thought that Tang Yi would ask about the case, he put a lot of gold on his face, and then said his request lightly, Tang Yi had to bow his head, he really didn't expect that this kid would jump away directly, it was really powerful.

"Hehe, Tang Zhuangyuan really lives up to his reputation, and the old man has two conditions." Yang Bo's tone was firm and unquestionable.

Tang Yi was neither humble nor arrogant, and said with a smile: "You keep talking about it, you may not be able to do it in your later life." ”

"Hahaha, Tang Zhuangyuan, you are in prison now, don't you want to go out?"

"Since birth, people in the world have been bound by all kinds of relationships, layer after layer of noose, the visible, the invisible, layered, and impenetrable. Now that I have been in this three months, I see this circle of walls, guarded by countless soldiers, but those invisible shackles are also cut off, and there is no difference between inside and outside. It's best to be able to get out, I can't get out of my heart calmly, why should I be blackmailed! ”

Well, the old man has become a blackmailer!

Yang Bo rolled his eyes for a while, this old man has read countless people in his life, and he has seen many demons. It's not that there are no people who can face life and death calmly, but which of those guys is not forty or fifty years old, has experienced prosperity and loneliness, and has smoothed out a heart.

How can he be like Tang Yi, he is old-fashioned at a young age, and he doesn't eat oil and salt. It's really an outlier among the other! Yang Bo kept looking at Tang Yi, and now he found flaws in this kid, but after looking at it for a long time, Yang Bo sighed, he really didn't look like he was pretending.

Off, off, shut out a demon!

Yan Maoqing is stupid, and the Yan family's father and son are even more ignorant!

Such a character will either be killed with a knife. Or stay away, you have to provoke him again and again, and sooner or later you will die at his hands.

Yang Bo was even a little secretly glad that he was sober and didn't make a casual move, otherwise he would have been disgraced.

Yang Bo is not afraid of Tang Yi, but he believes in an iron law. That is to bully the old, don't bully the young. He is not yet sixty years old, and Yan Song is already eighty. Even if I offend you. It's a big deal to lose your official position and resign, and after five years and ten years, the master will get up again, and you will be in the box at that time!

But Tang Yi is different, this kid is not yet twenty years old, even if he boils himself to death. People still have a lot of time to squander, and they can't make trouble for future generations.

Thinking of this, Yang Bo's tone softened.

"The two requirements that the old man wants to make are related to the opening of the sea, one is to let the four major money banks of the Jin Merchants join the official silver number. If you want to support us to open a workshop in the southeast and recruit weavers, what do you think? Unconsciously, Yang Bo changed his tone of discussion.

When Tang Yi heard this, he nodded secretly, and sure enough, he was worthy of being the leader of the Jin merchants, and his vision was really accurate, the two biggest pieces of fat brought by the opening of the sea were finance and textiles, and the Jin merchants wanted to take a bite.

After pondering for a while, Tang Yi raised his head and smiled: "Yu Pogong, I have the courage to discuss business with you, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

Yang Bo smiled heartily and exclaimed: "The old man has long listened to Xuefu and Ziwei say that Tang Xing's little stone turns into gold, and his ability is strong, but the old man is willing to listen to your high opinions." ”

"Yu Pogong, I got an axe once that night, if there is anything wrong, you will teach me a lot." Tang Yi said two kind words, and then said seriously: "What is the core of doing business, in short, it is to optimize the allocation. For example, when there is a lot of grain in the countryside and there are many craftsmen in the city, the peasants send their grain to the city in exchange for pots and pans and other furniture. For example, there is more silk in the southeast and more gold and silver in the west, so they use the gold and silver to buy silk. From the place where the price is low, to the place where the price is high, the difference in the middle is the profit, does Yu Po think so? ”

Yang Bo nodded, "It's easy to understand, it's very good, but it seems that this has nothing to do with the old man's request?" ”

"Promote strengths and avoid weaknesses, the advantage of Jin Shang is not in textiles, even if I try my best to help, if I don't know how to plant mulberry and silkworms, reel silk spinning, printing and dyeing and coloring this set of processes, not only can not make money, but will also be crushed by peers, heavy losses."

Yang Bo frowned, "Tang Yi, what you said may have some truth, but don't forget, with our power, as long as we operate for a few years, we will figure it out sooner or later." ”

"I know the ability of Jin Shang." Tang Yi said with a smile: "It's just that I don't think I need to work so hard, there is better money waiting for me." ”

Yang Bo didn't believe it at all, and laughed: "Let's ask today's Daming, is there a more profitable business than sea trade?" ”

"Of course there is, Yu Pogong, have you ever thought about it, after the sea is opened, what will you do?"

Yang Bo groaned slightly, and his eyes suddenly widened, "Do you still want to open the side?" ”

"That's right!"

Tang Yi said categorically: "Yu Pogong, to put it arrogantly, most of the scholars have the problem of covering their ears and stealing the bell, such as Xia Yan, who can be regarded as a generation of famous ministers, but when he saw that there was a tribute dispute in the Japanese country, he hastily closed the city, thinking that if the country was closed, the world would be peaceful, and in exchange for endless Japanese robbers. The same is true for dealing with the Mongols, at the beginning of the country, our Ming Dynasty was strong, with military and trade in one hand, which could certainly limit the steppe tribes. But since the battle of Tumubao, the Ming Dynasty has switched from offense to defense, even if trade is restricted, people can still get what they want through robbery. To this day, I answer that more than 100,000 cavalry under his command come and go, and enter the army every year, and the losses of the Ming Dynasty are more than 10 million. In that case, why can't we let go of the frontiers and put an end to the war through formal trade? In the past, it was because of the pressure of the ancestral mountain, and now the southeast sea has broken through the restrictions, and the income brought by the city is obvious to all. ”

Tang Yi's righteousness was stern, and Yang Bo was also surprised, he had only regarded the opening of the sea as an expedient measure to make up for the emptiness of the household.

But after listening to Tang Yi's words, Yang Bo suddenly realized that it seemed that this was an important decision related to the national policy of the Ming Dynasty. Even when Grandpa Tai and Grandpa Cheng were in power, the national strength was strong, and at that time, it was just to preach the power of heaven and make Siyi surrender, and that's it. But now, allowing the people to go to sea to do business has changed from introverted to open.

As Tang Yi said, the opening of the sea has brought huge benefits, and in the face of real benefits, the resistance to opening the border will become smaller.

Who is the best to open the side, so do you need to ask?

How many years have the Jin merchants operated the nine sides, there was no opening of the border, their smuggling business has done a good job, if after the opening of the border, the trade has increased exponentially, and the income is continuous, it is indeed much better than running to the southeast, and Zhejiang merchants, Fujian merchants, and Suzhou merchants to rob the textile business.

However, Lao Yang Bo is not such a naïve person, and he was taken to the ditch by Tang Yi with a few words.

"It's good to open the side, but have you thought about it, after opening the side, I promise to take the opportunity to become bigger, so how to deal with it?"

"Hahaha, Yu Pogong, if these words are said by those sour and rotten literati, it is not surprising that they are late, but you keep saying it, this late-born ......" The corners of Tang Yi's mouth twitched, and he didn't say anything further, which means that I really despise you!

Yang Bo was stunned for a moment, and scolded with a smile: "Little rabbit cub, don't you look down on the old man?" I'm asking for those people, can't I? ”

"Yu Pogong, since this is the case, that night will dare to say it. Take the New Year's coins of the Song Dynasty as an example, giving Liao 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk every year. It was regarded as a great shame by the scholars of the Song Dynasty, and every time he mentioned it, he gritted his teeth, resented, scolded the court for being incompetent and weak, and longed to lift the three-foot sword, conquer and kill the territory, and be ashamed. However, these people ignore that there is another rule in the alliance between the two sides, that is, the two sides open trade on the border and allow exchanges between them. Although the Northern Song Dynasty court paid 100,000 taels of coins, it got millions of taels of profits from the border trade every year. ”

Tang Yi got up, stood with his hands in his hands, and said with a calm smile: "Judging from the New Year's coins alone, in fact, the Song Dynasty took advantage of it, if it didn't give the New Year's coins, the border trade would not be able to be maintained, it can be said that the Song Dynasty made money and lost face." As for the biggest mistake of the Northern Song court, it was that it did not use the money it earned on the blade, let me ask, if the Northern Song Dynasty concentrated the profits from border trade, trained a strong army worthy of a war, and waited until the time was ripe to counterattack Daliao and recapture the sixteen states of Youyun, then the Great Song Dynasty would be comparable to the strong Han and Tang Dynasty. ”

"If we want to open up border trade, I will definitely get benefits, but as long as we get more benefits and convert the money we earn into combat effectiveness, in ten or twenty years, one day we will be able to level the grassland and establish immortal achievements!" When the Mongolian nobles like to wear silk, they don't like to wear sheepskins, they like to raise cattle and sheep, they don't like to raise war horses, they like to dig medicinal herbs, and they don't like to rob horses...... At that time, the so-called descendants of Genghis Khan will also be as tame as sheep. ”

……

For a whole afternoon, Tang Yi kept talking, no one knew what they said, but in the following ten years, the Ming Dynasty's treatment of the grassland became more and more flexible and diverse. By the time everyone woke up, the frog had been cooked.

The fierce cavalry disappeared and were replaced by shepherds, groups of mine workers, centuries-old rivals, who ended in such a dramatic scene that countless people in later generations were amazed.

After talking to Yang Bo, Tang Yi waved his sleeves and did not take away a single cloud. Coming out of the prison where he was imprisoned, the first thing he saw was a group of people waiting at the door, Tang Yi separated everyone and rushed straight to the front of a carriage, the curtain of the carriage opened, revealing a delicate and lovely little face, big teardrops in the eyes, Tang Yi's nose was sour, and he grabbed the other party's hand, cold and cold.

"You've been wronged!" (To be continued.) )
