As far as the merchant is concerned, being able to be used by the head of the court to deal with the word is enough to be called glorious, after all, the merchant is just something that can be erased with a snap of his fingers in front of the head of the court. Taking a mere shop to the point where Shousuke has to think about how to deal with it shows that this business is very successful.

Yang Shen also knew that the few dignitaries who came to visit also had people in business or occupied a large area of land, and the existence and development of Yang Ji was a huge hindrance to the interests of these people. He is a talented man, he will not be poor after all, he is not very enthusiastic about these financial things, and he also thinks that his father spends his energy on this, which is very ignorant.

In his opinion, a tiger wolf like Zhang's and an eagle dog like Yang Chengzu can't be regarded as a good thing. Empress Dowager Zhang is the queen of Hongzhi, and in their hearts, she still has a bit of status, but she takes care of her family too much, and it is precisely because of her existence that the Zhang brothers can do evil for many years without anyone being able to control it.

If the Zhang family and Yang Chengzu lose both sides this time, it will be rare good news for the imperial court. Father should be happy, but he shouldn't be bothered about the problem of a business.

"Yang Ji is just a business name at best, why should my father care so much? Besides, the child has heard people talk about this shop, but it is not necessarily a bad thing. For example, the nine-sided military reserve, in recent years, the border army has spent a lot of money, but the border army is a child, and life is becoming more and more difficult. The imperial court spent a lot of money, and the life of the soldiers became poorer and poorer, which greatly hindered the situation on the nine sides. Yang Ji is responsible for transporting money and grain, and it is said that the price of rice on the nine sides has dropped sharply, which saves a lot of effort from the imperial court, and it is also a good thing. ”

Yang Tinghe shook his head and said: "That's not what I said, Yang Ji is a good thing to stabilize prices, but the means used are the sword to go sideways, not the right way." To put it bluntly, there is not much difference between it and robbers who rob houses. This kind of means can be proud of a while, but not for a lifetime, and I am afraid that there will be a big mess in the future. As a father, just thinking about how to plug the hole that Yang Ji poked out in the future, he already felt embarrassed. ”

As the first assistant, he also has his own intelligence network, but compared to Jinyiwei, he is obviously inferior. It was not easy to develop a Yang Chengzu's township party in the high-level of Jinyiwei, but now there is no news, and Yu Changwei's movements are limited, so he can only deduce Yang Ji's development route according to the information at hand.

"If it is not bad as expected by his father, Yang Ji's trade focus is sea trade externally, and salt profit internally. Including the tea horses on the nine sides, they also have to intervene. If this development continues, sooner or later, Yang Ji will participate in all the money-making industries in the Ming Dynasty and then control them. If a firm can control all the money-making industries in the country, even if it is the first assistant, I am afraid that it will depend on its face. ”

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not easy. After all, the industry he wants to touch is full of dangers and variables, and even if he is a veteran, it is easy to have problems when it comes to business. Yang Ji relied on Yang Chengzu's official authority, and the strategic means of Princess Yongshou and others, as well as those benefits to buy people's hearts. If their hands are stretched too long and everyone resists, the higher they stand, the harder they fall. ”

"If Yang Ji's backer was simply Yang Chengzu, it wouldn't even have today's scale, and it would have been squeezed out early in the morning. Even Princess Yongshou can't afford such a big scene, let's say some intimate words at home, even if you do such a business, your father will fully support you, and at most you will be a rice merchant like Xie Zun, this is the limit. But after they swallowed the Xie family, they expanded in all directions, from south to north, grain, tea, cloth, and military resources. Such a big plate, not a princess, or a few nobles, can really hold up. If what his father thinks is not bad, behind this Yang Ji, the real master is ...... Heavenly home. ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and in the swaying lights, Yang Shen's face also changed, "Heavenly family? No way. Although Wu Zong used to run the imperial shop during his reign, it was just a small fight, and in Jingshi, it was more like a joke. My father later abolished the imperial store and cleared the imperial village, and Long Live also supported it, so it should be unlikely that he would come out to do business by himself. ”

"At that time, the father was the same as you thought, and I felt that long live was in support of the father's claim. Now that I think about it, I think about things badly for my father, and what I support is not to clear the Huangzhuang and close the Huangdian. Instead, he erased all traces of the Martial Sect and created something of his own. Since his accession to the throne, the brocade clothes have been abolished and reinstated, and the southeast has supervised the new army, in the final analysis, they are all building their own team and cultivating wings. You also know about the previous observation of the military field of the school, those new troops who are like wolves and tigers are better than the four outer armies of the day, these people are the sharp blades of Long Live that can help him cut off anyone's head. However, the expenditure to feed such a new army is not a small amount, and the heavenly family himself is not a person who advocates frugality. ”

Yang Tinghe said, while taking out the income and expenditure of the household department, "You are in the southeast of Pingyu, the battle is very good, and there are many seizures, and the court has not contributed any money." But after careful calculation, all the war profits went into the inner treasury, and the imperial court did not benefit from it. When the Buddhists came to the court, the annual land rent money was also paid into the moat. From these things, we can conclude that Banzai was a man who loved money and used it. The amount of money and food spent to feed tens of thousands of new troops is a huge amount, and only a business like Yang Ji can supply it. Those bosses, I hope that I will knock Yang Ji, at least control the momentum of its development, and let it not start too quickly. They are also too high in their esteem, how can Yang Ting and He De, what do they want to do, who can stop them? Although Empress Dowager Zhang is a little short-sighted, but on the whole, she is a virtuous queen, and now, Banzai can't even tolerate such a virtuous queen, and the old man, the first assistant, must also be a thorn in the eye of Banzai. ”

In the past four years, the friction between the monarchs and ministers, and all kinds of unpleasantness in daily life, Yang Shen already knows. In the past two years, he has been killing Japanese soldiers in the southeast, although he has not been in the battle formation, but he has praised and painted military aircraft behind his back, supported the scene, and made a balance, and his life is chic and his reputation is also excellent. His father was in the court, and he suffered a lot of anger in order to protect the whole country, and he was very unhappy in his heart.

Talented people, there is culture, temper and self-cultivation, but it may not be much better. In addition, he himself is a chic and uninhibited character, and he is very indifferent to fame and fortune, or the trade-off of interests, since his father has done it hard, then don't do it.

In fact, Mao Cheng, Liang Chu, and Jiang Mian, the three cabinet ministers who have been working with Yang Tinghe, have now had the heart to retreat, and to put it more seriously, it can be regarded as discouragement.

The Son of Heaven is becoming more and more assertive, and hopes that several cabinet ministers will be echo worms, and these are all capable ministers who want to make a difference and work hard to govern the country, and the contradiction between the two is extremely deep. Fei Hong and Yang Tinghe also have a bad relationship in the cabinet, but on the issue of the emperor, the two stand together, in short, the current cabinet, except for that Gu Dingchen, no one is happy.

"Several ministers have the heart of retreat, and my father has long said that he is tired of the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, so why not take this opportunity to retreat bravely? It's a quagmire, so there's no need to sink yourself in. With my father's current status, if you want to quit, if you want to come, you won't be embarrassed by long live, and you won't be lacking in honors. ”

Yang Tinghe smiled slightly, "Yes, if my father quits the cabinet now, long live will definitely appreciate my father's knowledge of current affairs, and he will not only not embarrass me, but will also be rewarded." But my generation is an official, is it just to reward you? The husband has something to do and not to do, Yang always has to act right, the ancestors of heaven and earth, and the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty. Originally, I really wanted to resign, but long live now, even the queen of His Majesty Hongzhi can't tolerate it, if I hang up the official and go, who else in this world can persuade the Son of Heaven? I told you that in life, there are always some things that cannot be retreated, and there are always some things that cannot be compromised. The father has decided to go around to the end. ”
