Everyone said goodbye one after another with a full stomach of melancholy, but Zhang Siwei stayed at the end, and Yang Bo noticed that his face was full of sorrow and thoughtfulness. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Ziwei, the old man seems to have something to say when he sees you."

Zhang Siwei stood with his hands down, "Yu Pogong, I'm a little worried. ”

"What's worried?"

"I think from the beginning, this was a huge conspiracy, a conspiracy to count us all in!" Zhang Siwei said sadly: "From the beginning of raising sheep and developing wool spinning, until today's overseas orders suddenly disappeared, I don't know what will happen in the future, I think our situation is not good, very bad!" ”

Could it be a conspiracy?

Yang Bo can't help but be a little confused, from the beginning Tang Yi mentioned the open border trade, the development of wool spinning, and then the cooperation between the two sides became deeper and deeper, before and after, almost ten years of work.

At that time, Tang Yi was only in his early twenties, an out-and-out junior, and there was no conflict of interest between the two sides.

It's really unbelievable, but the recent events are puzzling, there is a problem with the city, Tang Yi, the founder, must have smelled the wind a long time ago, then he also lured the Jin merchants to sign a contract with the vassal king, and took over the cake of more than 50 million acres of land, which is worth scrutinizing.

If it was really a trap set by him step by step, how terrible this person would be!

Yang Bo thought about it and shuddered.

"Ziwei, the old man went to beg Tang Yi just to see his details, whether he did it. But in any case, our two-hundred-year foundation is not a problem. You are the hope of the big guy, you must calm down, don't conflict with Tang Yi, and besides, you have to write to your father and them quickly, find out how our family is, can we survive? ”

Zhang Siwei nodded, he said goodbye and left, and when he left the Tianguan Mansion, he suddenly shivered.

What kind of person is Yang Bo, the only one of the three heroes in the world!

No matter what happened in the past, not all of them dealt with it calmly, from Jiajing to Longqing, the political tide again and again, even if Yan Song and Xu Jie fell, the Jin Party was safe and sound, and they still ate meat and drank soup, and developed and expanded.

Yang Bo has always been unhurried and has a belly of ideas.

But what did he say this time? Go and test Tang Yi, that guy has already cultivated well, and Yang Bo may not be able to take it. As for taking stock of the family background and dealing with the crisis, does this still need Yang Bo to say?

He said it, which can only mean that the old man has no choice but to fool things.

Yang Bo, who has been in the world for decades, has no choice, just thinking about it makes people shudder and chill to the bone!

Zhang Siwei hurriedly returned home with a stomach full of doubts, and quickly told his father and uncle about his worries, the Zhang family's difficulties were coming.

……

The cabinet financial meeting was held for three days in a row, and there was still no clue how much the sudden decline in foreign trade would affect it.

Tang Yi could only send Fang Fengshi, plus Zhu Dashou and Tao Dalin, to immediately lead an investigation team to the southeast to investigate the situation, and asked to expedite 800 miles to report the news at any time.

Several other cabinet elders, including the six departments and nine qing, were helpless for a while, and could only wait for the results of the investigation.

Tang Yi dragged his tired body back from the cabinet, and as soon as the carriage arrived at the door, there was a carriage waiting for him on the other side.

"Motosuke, I've been waiting for a long time."

"It's Yu Pogong!"

Tang Yi hurriedly got down from the carriage and helped Yang Bo with his own hands, "You are old, why wait outside!" ”

"Hehe, it's okay, the old man knows that Yuanfu is busy with official business, wait a little longer, it's nothing. At my age, time doesn't mean much. ”

Tang Yi hurriedly said: "There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure." The court is eventful, and you have to rely on Yu Pogong to help you get through the difficulties, please hurry up. ”

Tang Yi was polite, let Yang Bo go to the living room, pushed away the subordinates, and served tea to Yang Bo with his own hands, so thoughtful that Yang Bo was amazed, did he come to ask him, or did he ask himself!

"Yuanfu, don't bother the old man, we have been friends for ten years, I don't hide it, now the wool has just been knitted, and there is such a thing, the big guy's heart is not very peaceful, no, let the old man come over, want to ask for advice, what is going on, and how to deal with it?"

Yang Bo's tone was sincere, as if he was sincerely seeking advice, but his eyes swept over Tang Yi from time to time, wanting to see if there were any flaws.

Tang Yi was ashamed, "Yu Pogong, it's all my fault for being careless, three years ago I helped Luzon to restore the country, and I offended Spain, I originally thought that Xiyi was a small country, and the word was the head, they couldn't fight the Ming Dynasty in the East, so they could only touch their noses and admit that they were unlucky, and they still had to do business, after all, it was also good for them, and they did not communicate with each other!" But I only recently got the news that there was also a situation in Xiyi, Spain was very prosperous, but there were still several Yi countries, one called Britain, the other called the Netherlands, the power of the sea increased rapidly, and Spain had to spend a lot of financial revenue on military spending in order to deal with them. Coupled with the enmity with us, it has become a logical thing to restrict Daming's goods. For more than a decade, our merchants expanded blindly, and only knew about production, but did not invest heavily in shipping, did not build more ships, opened up shipping routes, and mastered their own fleets, and lost the opportunity. ”

Tang Yi sighed, "I thought that I was a real confidant, so I concentrated an army of 100,000 and destroyed my answer. If we had been able to prepare for the South Seas two years ago, and use our manpower and financial resources to expand the territory and expand the market, we might not have the situation we have today. ”

Listening to Tang Yi's self-blame, Yang Bo didn't think so, who is not hindsight, Tang Yi used troops against me at the beginning, and that was what Yang Bo also agreed.

Even when the Japanese were in their heyday, the Ming monarchs and ministers were most worried about the strong enemy in the north, there was no way, this is the history of thousands of years, all engraved in the bone marrow. Two years ago, if anyone said that Xiyi would not do business with us, the harm would be more serious than that of my answer, so if we don't care about my answer and go south with all our might, we will only be scolded for being brainless and sick!

Therefore, Tang Yi is really no wonder about this.

"Alas, the Spring and Autumn Period blamed the sage, since the Yuan Fu reigned in the country, the merits are obvious to all, and the revenge of blood is agreed by everyone in the world, and the top priority is still at the moment, and complaining can't solve the problem."

Unconsciously, Yang Bo actually comforted Tang Yi.

"What Yu Pogong said is that the so-called merit of the New Deal, to put it bluntly, is to calm down my answer, the woolen industry, related to the safety of the grassland, the weight of the millennium, no matter what, the younger generation will not sit idly by. I will greet Tan Lun, squeeze out 300,000 taels to purchase new military uniforms, and then I will go to Your Majesty, Jinyiwei, and Jingying to purchase 20,000 sets of woolen military uniforms and coats. This may be a drop in the bucket, so I will ask Cao Bangfu, the governor of Tianjin, to think of a way to send a fleet to the Japanese and North Korea to open up trade routes, and then there are Annam, Siam, Burma and other places, maybe there can also be some sales, and I will do my best to find a way for foreign trade. Tang Yi said with a smile: "In addition to the external part, the Jin merchants also have to move, and the north of the Ming Dynasty also needs woolen clothing to keep warm!" There is also a Jin merchant ticket number, if you can provide a little more loan, extend the time, don't force it too hard, so that the workshop can survive. All in all, if we want to work together, we will survive the difficulties! ”

In the end, it was Tang Yi, who came up with a lot of ways in one go, Yang Bo nodded secretly, and talked for a while, there was no flaw, Yang Bo had to get up and say goodbye, Tang Yi kept sending the old man outside, and as soon as he returned to the study, he heard a hearty laugh inside.

Several strategists laughed so much that tears came out, "Yang Bo has been wise all his life, and when he is old, he has planted a big heel, so that we adults can have a good time!" Shen Mingchen leaned forward and closed, saw Tang Yi come in, and said loudly: "Zhuge Liang is angry with Zhou Yu, and he ran to Chai Sangkou to hang his filial piety, which is enough to lack virtue, and the adult is three points more powerful than Mr. Zhuge Lao!" I didn't look at Old Man Yang, I was fooled and lame by you. ”

Tang Yi waved his hand, "Don't pour ecstasy soup, Yang Bo should suspect me, but there is no evidence." Besides, at the moment, it is only 800 enemies killed and 1,000 self-losses, and the southeast is still the hardest hit area. ”

Mao Kun smiled faintly and said: "My lord, as the saying goes, if you don't break it, you can't stand, the old man has been thinking about it these days, there is indeed a problem with the prosperity of the southeast, the buyer is from Xiyi, the market is in Xiyi, and the transportation depends on Xiyi." The handles are in the hands of others, it seems that we have made a lot of profits, but in the final analysis, it is all hard-earned money, and we can't change it. ”

Tang Yi deeply believes that if he does not master the ocean and not grasp enough overseas markets, all prosperity is a castle in the desert, a mirage, and an illusion.

Tang Yi once asked himself, since the opening of Longqing to the sea, a large amount of overseas gold and silver poured in, why has China not developed an industrial civilization? Now he has some answers, the Age of Discovery was opened up by Westerners, the rules of international trade are in the hands of others, and there is no power to make rules, how can they climb to the top of the food chain!

For the current crisis, Tang Yi has a deeper thought, in fact, this is an excellent opportunity, a best time to force the officials, gentry, and businessmen of the Ming Dynasty to look outward.

It's just that the price is a bit heavy...... In the last month of the third year of Longqing, five silk workshops in Suzhou fell in succession, each of which was bigger than the other, and thousands of weavers lost their source of livelihood, affecting as many as 30,000 people.

And the crisis is still spreading rapidly, Hangzhou, Songjiang, Yingtian, there has been a wave of workshop closure, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and the news came that Quanzhou area, there are 200,000 acres of tea plantations tea unsalable, desperate tea farmers ran to the door of the city, the tea was burned, the smoke was billowing, and the flames were flying.

Even the most sluggish people can smell danger when they see this scene.

The workshops and tea farmers fell, and the direct impact was on the major commercial banks and chambers of commerce, and they had the problem of poor capital turnover. Represented by the Suzhou Silk and Satin General Bank, a total of eight commercial banks came together to the branch of Heshengyuan in Suzhou.

"This is a deposit certificate of 3 million yuan, please pay it immediately!" Everyone said with a poker face. (To be continued.) )
