Jiajing smiled, more amiable than usual, and spoke more like a neighbor's uncle, reluctant to speak loudly, for fear of scaring the child.

But he didn't know that the more this was the case, the more scared Tang Yi became, and his little heart was pounding.

Just kidding, Yan Song has been the third grandson for so many years, and he can't get this treatment, why should he give it to you?

Besides, if Jiajing wants to give it, he can just seal the official directly, and ask himself what he is doing, it is clear that he doesn't want to give it! What kind of generosity, hypocritical Jiajing! Despise it!

There is definitely a pit in front of you, but how to avoid it in order not to arouse Jiajing's suspicion, this requires skill!

Tang Yi smiled and patted his chest, "Your Majesty, the minister has been in Tianjin for a few months, and he has some experience in governing the place, although he is not very old, but it is no problem to just ask to be a prefect, as for the city shipping department, the tax card and trading hall designed by the minister in the port are all working well, and the city shipping department can learn from the past, and the official position you have rewarded, the minister has taken it!" ”

has always given officials, regardless of whether it is true or not, they have to say a few words, how can Tang Yi agree so directly, and he bragged about himself, Jiajing also smiled.

"You kid don't have to be sloppy, when I can't hear it? You only said that you received the prefect and the city ship's promotion, but you didn't say that it was the prefect of Ningbo, do you not plan to open the sea in Ningbo? ”

Tang Yi smiled, "You can't hide anything from Your Majesty's eyes, and the minister sometimes thinks, how come you know everything?" ”

The high place is unbearable, Jiajing has been cultivating for a long time, and the courtiers are cautious about him, the mountains are uplifted, and Tang Yi is such a bold thing, Jiajing really looks at it differently, not only did he not get angry with his presumptuousness, but smiled: "Jiuzhou Wanfang." Billions of trillions of Li Shu, how I am on the edge of the abyss, dreaming of sleeping at night! Jiajing looked at my pain, you don't know how to pretend to be virtuous, Tang Yi didn't secretly slander himself, "If you don't want to be, let it out." Why moan without illness! ”

Tang Yi was silent, Jiajing sighed: "There are three original places in the city, Ningbo, Quanzhou and Guangzhou, according to the geographical location, Ningbo has the most advantages, and the silk muslin of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is the closest, they all suggest that I open the sea in Ningbo, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that Ningbo is an excellent choice. In fact, if you want to consider economic efficiency alone, Hangzhou and Songjiang are better than Ningbo! It's just that the current situation in the southeast is not suitable for opening the sea in these places. ”

Jiajing frowned, "Do you mean the Wako?" ”

"There's an element of robbership." Tang Yi said with a slight sigh: "Your Majesty, although some ministers who oppose the opening of the sea do not agree, but one thing they say is right, after the opening of the sea, the huge demand of the West will inevitably cause a large number of cotton and mulberry trees to be planted in the southeast. It will definitely occupy farmland and affect food production. ”

Tang Yihan smiled: "The minister is not beating his mouth. The annual trade volume was controlled first, giving the merchants and the people a process of adaptation, and also giving the imperial court a time to prepare. After all, planting cotton and mulberry trees makes more money than growing grain, and if there is a shortage of grain, you can transfer it from other provinces or buy it overseas. However, it is necessary to control the proportions, and there is a gap of 3.5 million stones a year, and there is still a way to think that if there is a gap of several million stones a year. There's going to be a mess. In order to control the volume of trade, and also to prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, the minister thought that it was better to put the city in Quanzhou first. Observing the results, the market can be opened at any time, so that the imperial court can also be free to collect and release, which is much more secure and reliable! ”

The highest level of telling a lie is to believe it yourself.

In fact, Tang Yi's rhetoric is simply deceitful, worried about crowding out grain land, it is enough to directly stipulate the trade volume, and if he is worried about the Japanese bandits, he will prepare more people, all in all, there are definitely more methods than problems. There is no need to go near and far, and get the city to Quanzhou.

Who made Jiajing suspicious, Tang Yi had to dance with it.

Not to mention, Tang Yi's words stirred up ripples in Jiajing's heart again.

When Tang Shen was appointed governor of Zhejiang, Jiajing didn't feel anything, but when the list of six or seven people was sent up, only Tang Shen passed, and Jiajing muttered.

In the list, several of them are cadres who have been working for more than ten years and twenty years, and the only thing Tang Shen can compare with them is the credit, and the others are not worth mentioning.

But Tang Shen can easily crush these people, so he has to let Jiajing think more, it doesn't matter if he thinks about it like this, he found that Tang Yi already has quite a strong network in the southeast, Tang Shunzhi, the secretary of the military department, Lu Bo, the general of the military, Qi Jiguang, and the gentry have the Taicang Wang family and the Huating Xu family......

If Tang Yi is allowed to go to Zhejiang to open the sea again, with his ability to toss, and if Hu Zongxian is not set aside, Zhejiang will become the world of their Tang family's father and son, as if he is an overseas emperor, how can Jiajing tolerate it!

But then again, Jiajing is still a little different from Tang Shen and Tang Yiye, the father and son have been born and died for themselves, coming and going in the wind and rain, and have done so many things, how can they give people a chance to mend their ways.

That's where this ensemble.

If Tang Yi readily accepts, Jiajing may not be able to backtrack, but his means will come, he will definitely put chains on Lao Tang and Xiao Tang, put shackles, and even take them down directly if necessary, just like he did with Zhang Jing.

But contrary to Jiajing's expectations, Tang Yi neither refused nor agreed, but proposed to open the sea in Quanzhou.

From his words, Jiajing didn't read any selfish thoughts, some were just old and seeking the country, and some were just pure hearts.

In other words, Tang Yi, this kid doesn't know how to form a party for personal gain, he is dedicated to doing things for himself, that is, he is loyal to the Ming Emperor! There are no selfish distractions.

When Jiajing thought of this, he even felt a little guilty, what a good baby, what a doubtful thing he was doing?

Jiajing's guilt came and went quickly, in his opinion, the exceptional promotion of Tang Yi and his father is already a great grace, no matter what they do, they should be, even if they die, it is an honor! There is no doubt that Jiajing is so narcissistic!

"Tang Yi, I'll listen to your opinion, go back and write a good plan for the city, and let you go south if I pass it, and stay in the Hanlin Academy!"

It's the same set of grace and power again, Tang Yi was honestly afraid, and after kowtowing to Jiajing, he went out of Xiyuan, and when he returned home, it was already time to hold the lamp, the rain outside stopped, and a cold wind blew, and Tang Yi sneezed.

"Damn, it looks like I'm going to add clothes!"

Hurriedly returning to the mansion, Tang Yi asked people to prepare a big bowl of ginger soup, different from the palace practice, the Tang family's ginger soup also added honey, wolfberry, fritillary, and coptis, which can not only prevent but also cure diseases. Bitter and sweet, mixed with the aroma of potpourri nectar.

"When it comes to eating, Zhu Houxi, you still can't compare to me!"

Tang Yi seemed to be possessed by Ah Q, smirked a few times, and found his balance.

He didn't dare to slack off, now it's September, and the sailing ship must take advantage of the monsoon, and it must start from Daming in winter, rush to India and other places, and then come back with the help of the summer wind.

In fact, Tang Yi chose to open the sea in Quanzhou, and there is another advantage, that is, the current prefect of Quanzhou is Yang Jisheng, there is nothing else to say, the relationship between them is iron enough, and Yang Jisheng is a cadre, when Tang Yi planned to choose Quanzhou, he wrote a long letter to Yang Jisheng, and sent Wu Tiancheng to take the letter south, and immediately went to Quanzhou to prepare, and prepared the work ahead. Otherwise, even if Tang Yi is an immortal, when he reaches a place where his eyes are black, don't think about figuring out the clue in a month or two.

Even if there is such a helper as Yang Jisheng, Tang Yi does not dare to slack off, he hurriedly writes a plan, the front is a summary of Tianjin's experience, and the back is the planning and design of Quanzhou's opening of the sea.

For this article, Tang Yi can be said to have forgotten to sleep and eat, for five days in a row, except for going to the toilet, he didn't even come out of the study, and he finally wrote almost enough.

At noon, after writing the last word, Tang Yi said to the little maid: "I'm going to eat in the flower hall, I don't need to send it over." ”

After getting some water and washing his face, Tang Yi rushed to the flower hall, Xu Wei, Wang Shizhen, and Wang Shimao were all present.

"Why didn't you see Zhu Dazhu and Tao Dalin, where did they go?"

Xu Wei said with a smile: "Where else can you run, write green words in the Hanlin Academy." ”

"You don't have to write?" Tang Yi was puzzled.

Xu Wei's little face was bitter, and then he smiled: "I have to write too, but why don't you look at who my brother is, it's easy to just write a pen!" ”

Xu Wei's virtue made Tang Yi crazy, "I said Brother Wen, can you have a better brain?" Qingzi is filial piety to His Majesty, you can't be sloppy, you are a good writer, but Yuan Wei, Yan Ne, Li Chunfang, Chen Jin, Cao Dazhang, how much worse can these people be than you! They all regard writing green words as a shortcut to climb up, and you are careless, how can people say hello! ”

Don't really say it, one thing descends one thing, Xu Wei was afraid of Tang Yi, he smiled and said: "It's done, my brother can't change it, but mine is still a small thing, something big happened to you over there!" ”

"What do you mean?" Tang Yi asked in surprise.

Wang Shizhen put down her chopsticks and sighed: "Okay, I originally wanted to wait for you to finish eating." ”

Tang Yi smiled bitterly and pushed the dishes and chopsticks, "Can I still eat it, let's talk about it first!" ”

"Okay." Wang Shizhen paused and said, "Just now, the officials made a decree to let Tang Ruji serve as the prefect of Tianjin. ”

Tianjin is Tang Yi's country, no matter what, who to choose as the successor, you should also ask Tang Yi, originally Tang Yi preferred two candidates, one is his cousin Wang Shizhen, the other is Cao Dazhang, these two can unconditionally implement Tang Yi's orders, and his norms in Tianjin can also be implemented very well, but he has changed to a strict party Tang Ruji, isn't this a clear peach picking, take advantage!

No one will feel good in their hearts, everyone saw Tang Yi's strange face, but when he was angry, Wang Shimao said pitifully: "Okay, don't be angry, there are even worse!" ”

Tang Yi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

It was Xu Wei's turn to say: "I heard news from the palace, saying that Zhao Wenhua was slack and frivolous, and it was difficult to assume the responsibility of a heavenly official, and His Majesty wanted to dismiss him." ”

Tang Yi was not surprised, and said casually: "Isn't this a good thing?" ”

"Alas, it's not all old Yan Song, he suggested to His Majesty that Zhao Wenhua is indeed not suitable to serve as the secretary of the ministry, so he recommends him to go south again to supervise the teacher." Xu Wei spread his hands, "Okay, Zhao Wenhua's dog skin plaster can keep up with you!" (To be continued.) )
