On the other side, Xu Fengming, the head of the Xu family, frowned, "Brother Xie, what you said is serious, even if it was Jiang Bin at the beginning, his appearance was not so ugly." Be a man and leave a line, and it will be good to meet in the future, he will never take all the business, isn't that to eat alone? People who are officials know how to advance and retreat, and they know how to measure themselves, so it shouldn't be enough, right? ”

"Should? I thought he should, but do you know what's Yang Ji doing now? They recruited all the workers of the Longjiang Shipyard to Yang Ji, and made a batch of big materials and began to build sea ships. Think about it, what did Yang Ji do when he built the sea boat? If Yang Ji is just doing business, the sea is so big, it doesn't matter if there are one or two more boats. But what if he built a sea ship for the imperial court? Everyone hasn't forgotten that the Three Treasures went to the West, right? When the imperial court does the maritime trade business, do we people still have a place to stand? ”

Xu Fengming thought about it, and also felt that this prospect was very terrifying, "Brother Xie, in the new army, our Xu family has also installed some people. It's just that the new military personnel are all decided by Yang Chengzu, and it is difficult for our people to reach a very high position. ”

"Don't think about the new army, Brother Xu, I once sent some people over and donated a sum of money. But how? My people are highly skilled in martial arts, both civil and military, and as a result, the new army is cronyistic, and they can only be soldiers or petty officers, and they cannot grasp power at all. I don't know what demon magic was used, but after those people entered the barracks, they were also quite alienated from me. The road of the new army will not work. ”

Everyone present was speechless, the methods they were used to had lost their effect, and they couldn't think of what to use to solve it, and they all fell silent. Only Feng Tai'an's cough sounded from time to time. After a long time, Feng Tai'an tried to suppress his cough

"Actually, what Brother Xie said, the old man also understands. Just like this Longjing, everyone knows that new tea is delicious, but how can the emperor drink new tea? He can only drink old tea for more than three years, and new tea can only be drunk by our locals. The same is true of sea trade, how can the imperial court compete with the small people for profit? The old man believes that if I burn incense every year and repair the temple every year, the concubine will definitely bless my family business and let the sea ship of the imperial court sink. As long as a few ships are sunk, the people of the imperial court will know that it is powerful, and they will no longer think about shipbuilding or maritime trade. ”

"Shibo, maybe you don't have to be so troublesome, sometimes, you can report it in front of you." Xie Zun clapped his hands, and someone sent a newspaper from the palace: "Huang Gonggong, the new eunuch of Zhejiang Town, will come to Nanjing in a few days to welcome the Wang Ming Banner to the southeast." Yang Qincha also has to accompany him, and the anger of the concubine should be lowered now, and there is no need to wait so long. ”

There is only one side of the royal flag in the entire southeast, and its effect is similar to the sword of Shang Fang in the play, which has the special power of moderation and can be self-determined in case of trouble. Civilian officials below the fifth rank and military generals below the fourth rank can be cut first and then played. Only feudal officials such as the Governor of the Heavenly Patrol, as well as civil officials who were ordered to go out on expeditions and control the generals, were granted.

In the entire southeast, only Nanjing has a royal flag, which is stored in the Nanjing Military Department, and it will not be released easily. For example, Huang Jin was awarded this kind of thing by a eunuch, which is completely unprecedented, and this time it was Yang Tinghe who vigorously promoted it, otherwise the flag would not have been promulgated.

Moored on the wharf are three warships named Haicang Boat, which are almost all the warships that can be taken out by the Zhejiang Navy Division today. The guns that should be on the ship are now almost all filled with firecrackers, and no one wants to try how many of these firearms can be fired.

The work of receiving the flag went very smoothly, but the time was already in the afternoon, and Xu Pengju and the others pulled Yang Chengzu and Huang Jin to hold on, saying that they wanted to catch the wind and wash the dust, and they also had to explain the accounts of Yang Ji's side. Although Huang Jin is from Beijing, he nominally has a flag similar to the nature of a fake festival, but there is no way to take these nobles. His nominal identity this time is a eunuch in Zhejiang, because there is no governor in Zhejiang now, his authority is the heaviest, but in fact he is only adding the blame for Yang Chengzu's seal.

His previous unhappiness with Yang Chengzu also made the emperor quite dissatisfied with him, and this mission had a bit of a punishment in it. These Xungui knew his roots, and they didn't pay much attention to him, they only pulled Yang Chengzu and didn't let go, and in the end Huang Jin had to accompany the other party to drink.

The sons and daughters of the lords also knew about his festival with Yang Chengzu, and under the banner of visiting, they took turns to come over to toast, and they wanted to give this eunuch an ugly look. The last thing these lords were afraid of was probably the eunuchs, and it didn't take long for Huang Jin to get drunk.

Guo Xun patted Yang Chengzu on the shoulder, "Virtuous son-in-law, this eunuch dares to embarrass you, this is not happy to find yourself." He's a long-lived servant of the Hidden Mansion, and it's not hard for us to do it, but it's inevitable that he'll suffer some living sin. You have to do your business, don't drink too much, and someone will bring you the ledger and look at it. ”

Although he was nominally the chief soldier of Zhejiang, he had never been to Zhejiang to serve, and as soon as he arrived in the south, he declared that he could not serve because of the recurrence of his injuries. During this time, he has been living in the courtyard of Xu Pengju in Nanjing, tasting the scenery of Qinhuai, and fighting with several top Oiran, which made Yang Chengzu admire his father-in-law for being old and strong.

After they poured Huang Jin, the banquet was put aside, and someone took the account book and sorted out Yang Ji's accounts. In the initial operation stage of Yang Ji, the income and profit could not be seen, and the new army of the 10th battalion was a lucrative business, which could bring huge profits to the recruiting officers. However, Yang Chengzu did not drink the blood of the soldiers this time, did not eat empty salaries, and the current five battalions were fully staffed, which made the nobles in Nanjing a little incomprehensible.

Guo Xun came by order from the emperor, and he saw this matter more clearly than others, but he was the first to support Yang Chengzu, "Chengzu is right to do this, this time long live is determined to fight, and he must win." If you lose, you will lose your face, and if you are a minister, you will lose your face, and if you lose your face, you will die. Therefore, the five battalions have no shortage of soldiers, no shortage of food and equipment, and these are very good. But in terms of expenses, it's ......"

"Old Taishan rest assured, small wealth does not come out, big wealth does not enter. What is this little money, it won't be long before we'll have a big fortune in our accounts, and believe me, it won't take long. ”

Xu Pengju and others didn't think that he could really make a lot of money in a short period of time, and military training was a bottomless pit. But the other party is carrying the imperial order, even if it is a noble, he can't say a long story about the emperor's order, so he has to laugh

"Brother-in-law, it doesn't matter. Isn't it just a loss of money, our family is rich and noble, and if we don't lose this little money, we really can't stand it. We pay for it. ”

Yang Chengzu shook his head, he didn't explain much, it was useless to say too much, not to mention that there was no need to say some words. Just look outside, your own wealth, or the wealth given to these nobles, should be there. Xie family, don't let me down, you'd better jump off this pit yourself, otherwise I'll have to take it myself.
