"Mr. Fushan, a few days ago, I accidentally learned that there are seven surnames in Fujian and Zhejiang, they control the bureau in Quanzhou, have you heard of these seven surnames?"

Without waiting for He Xinyin to speak, Li Zhen smiled and said: "Alas, I know that these guys can't sit still, the so-called seven surnames of Fujian and Zhejiang have 'Li Panjianglei, Cai Xu Zheng', but they are not static, a few years ago, there were still the Ying family and the Fang family, as for a few years, the status of the Li family and the Xu family will also be shaky." Li Zhen smiled: "Lord Tang, how do you feel when you hear these families?" ”

Tang Yi smiled bitterly, "Either rich or expensive, there are only dozens of high-ranking officials in the imperial court, their homes are in the southeast, and they can hook up with the sea, so it is not difficult to guess." These seven families are either people in the DPRK or have been engaged in maritime trade for many years, and there are even families that have emigrated overseas, such as the Wa Kingdom, such as Ryukyu, such as Luzon, with internal and external collusion and huge power. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Zhen and He Xin really showed a look of horror, they all thought that Tang Yi was young and might not know these tricks, but now it seems that people know no less than them!

He Xinyin let out a breath of turbidity and said contemptuously: "The so-called seven surnames, the Yan Party has them, and the Xu Party also has them!" It's really heart-wrenching and unscrupulous! ”

"Brother Fushan, I said a long time ago that the people in the court are all one party, called the gold and silver party, and when they see the silver, they pounce up, the difference is that some people grab more, and some people grab less, and the result is that the dog eats the dog's hair, and they are all the same dogs, regardless of the situation." Li Zhen said presumptuously.

Tang Yi's face was full of black lines, he finally saw the demeanor of "He Crazy Li Mad", these two masters dared to say anything, I was afraid that even they would be piggybacked.

Tang Yi smiled awkwardly, "Two gentlemen, those who are clear are self-purifying." After all, there are still some differences, otherwise we simply retreat to the mountains and forests, cultivate and study, why bother to run around in the world? The way of heaven is ruthless and non-existent, and people's hearts are immortal. The road between the two is uneven. Comes. On behalf of the people of Quanzhou, Tang once again thanked the two for their kindness. ”

Tang Yi said, bowing and saluting. Li Zhen got up to return the salute, but He Xinyin just nodded.

"Lord Tang, I once visited Mr. Jing Chuan, he admired the adult, and said that the adult has the talent to help the people, and he admired it in his heart. It's just that I think that if you want to do things, you have to have great courage. Great determination, great courage, only by thunderbolt means can the bodhisattva's heart be revealed. ”

He Xinyin wanted to continue, but Li Zhen quietly kicked him. Don't look at the heart study portal, you are a generation higher than Tang Yi, you really regard yourself as an uncle, and you can teach others by the way!

You must know that Tang Yi has no matter his official position or his status in Shilin. They are far from being comparable to He Xinyin in the opposition. He Xinyin also knew that he had passed a little, and it was rare for him to blush. "Lord Tang, I don't mean to blame, I just feel that you have soldiers and generals in your hands, and you shouldn't be so passive."

Tang Yi smiled heartily and sighed: "What Mr. Fushan said is reasonable, I am new here. I don't want to waste this winter, but now it seems that people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden. If you don't show your sword, you won't be able to. Mr. Fushan, I will give you 200 soldiers to transport supplies into Quanzhou from all over the country, and as for Mr. Li, you take my warrant to visit the scholars in Quanzhou, and tell them that whoever dares to disobey the conscription should not think about passing the government examination! ”

Tang Yi, who had been soft for so long, finally showed his courage, He Xinyin and Li Zhen were ecstatic, nodded vigorously, and went down to do things in a hurry.

Seeing these two leaving, the anxious look on Tang Yi's face was gone, and as soon as he turned around, hummed a little tune, and ran to the back house, far away, he smelled a tempting aroma.

He couldn't wait to run to the hall, and when he walked in, he saw a huge cage drawer, full of small steamed dumplings, steaming hot and fragrant. Tang Yi didn't care about the hot hands, grabbed a dumpling, dipped it in some balsamic vinegar, and threw it into his mouth, the strong dough, the fragrant filling, and the delicious ones were about to cry.

Just as he was about to grab the second one, a pair of chopsticks hit his hand.

Wang Yueying was walking from the kitchen with a tray with a few cold side dishes on it. glared at Tang Yi fiercely, "It's all big masters, if a gentleman is not heavy, he is not powerful, let others see it, who will listen to you." ”

Tang Yi smiled, "That's not right, look at it, the Tang monk who learned the scriptures is stupid and cute, Song Jiang of Liangshanbo thinks about surrendering every day, even if the big-eared thieves of the Three Kingdoms are all hypocritical, these three can all turn around the regiments instructed by their younger brothers, none of them rely on the majesty of the world, but Xiang Yu's majesty, what is the result, self-slaughter in Wujiang, this is too much, rigid and easy to break." ”

While speaking, Tang Yi grabbed two more dumplings and threw them into his mouth, "It's delicious, it's delicious, when did you get so good at your craft, daughter-in-law?" ”

Wang Yueying really wanted to give Tang Yi a big ear scraper, "It is worthy of being the champion of the Yuangong, and there is a string of truths for everything, and the slave family admires it." But that's not what outsiders say. ”

Tang Yi took Wang Yueying's hand, the two sat side by side, Tang Yi ate dumplings, and asked vaguely, "What did you say?" ”

"What else can you say, the streets are full of scolding the prefect!" When Wang Yueying thought of this, her little face turned pale, and she was still angry.

Today, she took the maid Zhu'er to the street to buy some seafood and treat Tang Yi, who knew that the shops on the street were closed, and when she arrived at the market, there were seventy percent fewer vendors buying vegetables, and a boatload of fish just shipped was swept away by the people. Wang Yueying couldn't rush up and compete with the people, but she just bought a little bit of all kinds of vegetables, and barely bought some dried mushrooms.

When she returned to the prefect's yamen, she was dumbfounded, what can this thing do!

Fortunately, there is also Shen Meijun, after people saw it, they used their skills to make dumplings with assorted fillings, and seasoned with boiled thick soup to make such delicious dumplings.

Tang Yi ate happily, and Wang Yueying was happy in her heart, but when she thought of the people scolding Tang Yi, her heart hurt terribly, as if she had been cut by a knife.

In her heart, her husband is perfect, he is omnipotent, and he should be supported by all the people wherever he goes, and no matter what, he should not be scolded!

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I couldn't help but shed tears.

Tang Yi watched her crying, and couldn't help but stretch out his arms and hugged her shoulders emotionally.

"Silly girl, who doesn't talk about people behind their backs, who doesn't talk about people behind their backs. Yan Ge is still like this. Not to mention that I am a small prefect. ”

"No, it just doesn't work!" Wang Yueying said stubbornly: "You are the best, what you do is for the people, for the world, they just don't scold you!" ”

Tang Yi couldn't help laughing and said, "What a good daughter-in-law, you don't have to complain for me." It won't take a few days to tell the winner, you don't have to worry. ”

"Really?" Wang Yueying asked in surprise, she was smart and icing, she walked around the street, and she also saw a lot of problems, so many shops were closed, and she heard that there was no one in the yamen, how difficult it was for her husband, she knew in her heart.

"Sir. You don't have to comfort me. ”

Tang Yi couldn't help but glare, and shouted violently: "Xiao Nizi dares to doubt your husband's ability, he really deserves to be beaten!" Tang Yi raised his slap, frightened Wang Yueying, pouted and said, "Please be magnanimous and spare the slave family!" ”

Looking at her delicate little appearance, Tang Yi's love and pity rose and he pecked her lightly on the forehead.

"I didn't want to tell you. Since you're so worried, I can only say it. Tang Yi smiled: "Actually, I have been prepared......

"Don't!"

Wang Yueying suddenly stretched out her jade hand. blocked Tang Yi's mouth.

"Master, the slave family believes in you, and the secret of heaven must not be revealed, but don't spoil your big thing because of the slave family." Saying that, Wang Yueying pointed to the wall, and Tang Yi nodded with relief. couldn't help but sigh, "What a sensible girl." ”

The two of them had a sweet meal of dumplings, Tang Yi went to the back garden and walked around twice, and then went to the small study of the east courtyard of the mansion. As soon as he walked in, Yang Wenyu was already waiting here.

"Lord Fuzun."

Tang Yi nodded. "Sit down, how are things going?"

"Lord Qiqi Mansion, the little one has gone to Qingyun Nunnery, met the Tan Fang nun, and also met the representatives of the seven surnames, the little one told them that it is imperative to open the sea, this is the bottom limit of the adult, if they really want to tear their faces, then they might as well fight."

Tang Yi asked with a calm face, "How did they answer?" ”

"They said that it is not impossible to open the sea, unless it is ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless you hand them over to the city!"

Tang Yi slapped the table and said angrily: "Ridiculous, this official is promoted by the city boss, do you still want this official to listen to their orders?" ”

"No, no, no." Yang Wenyu hurriedly said: "What they mean is that the adults are still promoted, but the people below are arranged by them, and they will deal with how much tax should be collected." ”

"Hmph, it's not that the official is empty, it's really a big ambition!" Tang Yi's anger was even greater. Yang Wenyu hurriedly said: "My lord, the small ones also argued with them, and they also agreed to several conditions, such as the tax and silver of the city shipping department, they can pay in advance, and they will settle the trade routes at sea, and they also promise to honor the adults every year......"

Tang Yi smiled coldly: "How much silver?" ”

"Five, five hundred thousand taels!"

"Wow, that's a big deal! Is this official worth such a little silver? Tang Yi roared sharply, so frightened that Yang Wenyu hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"My lord, they are indeed deceiving people too much, or they will immediately order all the people and horses and copy Qingyun Nunnery."

Even a soft person like Yang Wenyu couldn't bear it, and Tang Yi's anger can be imagined.

He walked around silently, thinking in his heart, what is the difference between this and the Smelling Fragrance Sect in Tianjin, it is all lions that open their mouths and force themselves to bow their heads.

Everyone knows that the benefits of opening the sea are huge, and it is not just as simple as a little tax silver.

The City Ship Division is a portal, and whoever holds the City Ship Division in his hands has unparalleled power. Not to mention things like taxes, finance, and logistics, there is still more room for maneuvering.

Take tea as an example, Westerners have a diet because of their diet, tea is their necessities, but do Westerners understand tea?

I don't understand it at all, otherwise I wouldn't have added sugar and milk to it and made a mess.

For Westerners, there is no difference between Longjing and Tieguanyin, but it is not good in Daming, if the city mainly sells Tieguanyin, the planting of Longjing will be damaged, and vice versa. If the city is in the hands of the seven surnames, they can use their power to eat the Longjing tea merchants, and then go to the Tieguanyin tea merchants, and make a lot of money at both ends.

In fact, they are familiar with this kind of thing, and they have monopolized the maritime trade routes and controlled the smuggling channels over the years. It is also by this means that they have bitten the major families in the southeast, and because of this, the major families are very enthusiastic about opening the sea, in order to get rid of their exploitation of the bones.

However, if the city department is handed over to them, wouldn't it be tantamount to giving them a legal way to exploit themselves, and they can get it back ten times and a hundred times more from other places if they pay a little tax money.

No one can see more clearly than Tang Yi, but these people have grasped one of Tang Yi's Achilles' heels, that is, they are in a hurry, they can fight a business war, and they can take thunderbolt methods, and they will seal Qingyun Nunnery and arrest everyone, but what can they do?

If you get a lot of chicken feathers, don't think about doing business this year, and then these people will spend a year slowly splashing dirty water, slowly slandering Tang Yi, making money in everyone's mouth, accumulating and destroying bones, and that's how Zhu Kun fell back then. So in their opinion, even if Tang Yi knew that he handed over a cup of poisonous wine to them, he had to drink to quench his thirst.

At this time, Tang Yi's situation is very similar to Lu Bing at the beginning, the only difference is that Lu Bing can still count on Tang Yi, but what about Tang Yi, does he have a way to break the game? (To be continued.) )

PS: Everyone's book reviews are small, in fact, everyone ignores a problem, that is, time, the sailboat needs winter winds to go south, and the chaos must end before February, so many hard-hitting methods will not work, but don't worry, Don Jr. will win by surprise...... The foreshadowing is over, and the horn of the next chapter to start a counterattack, everyone gives some fire support!
