After listening to his father's narration, Tang Yi suddenly realized, no wonder Yang Bo is so soft, and daring to love has become a foregone conclusion. The old thing still came to blackmail himself, he was really a good hand at doing business, a white wolf with empty gloves, not a son of man, not a son of man!

Tang Shen saw that his son's eyebrows were hideous, which was terrifying, and when he was not satisfied with the treatment, he sighed: "Okay, for my father, I only arrested the Xu family and the Zheng family, firstly, they were directly involved, and secondly, they were relatively weak among the remaining five families. However, when my father searched their family, I also got a lot of evidence, but it was not triggered, if my son felt angry, he could have wiped out the seven surnames! ”

"Really?" Tang Yi asked with a smile.

"That's nature, when did the father lie to you?" Tang Shen smiled confidently, the eldest husband can't be without power for a day, holding life and death in his hands, Tang Shen enjoys this feeling very much, and even more enjoys his son's adoring gaze.

Tang Yi rubbed his hands, he really wanted to make a decision immediately, and directly ordered the raid, cut off his heads one by one, and released all the anger he had suffered in the past.

In the past, Tang Yi would probably not hesitate, but after this tempering, Tang Yi's mind became deeper and deeper, the officialdom of Huanhai is like a chess game, don't just stare at the eater, but also learn to focus on the overall situation, create the general trend, as long as the general trend is in me, I will look at it.

Tang Yi was silent for a while, and finally shook his head, "Cleaning up the seven surnames looks tempting, but in fact, it may not be beneficial to us. Born in sorrow and dying in peace, the gentry of the southeast can unite because the seven surnames are too noisy, beyond the bottom limit of everyone, and I, at the right time, is regarded as the spokesperson of the gentry in the southeast, this aura is still very good! Tang Yi said with a smile: "If the seven surnames are eradicated, the threat will be eliminated." On the contrary, the family in the southeast will fall apart again because of the absence of enemies, which will weaken our strength. ”

This truth is not profound, and this is the case with a certain big country in later generations, if there is an enemy, there will be an enemy, and if there is no enemy, it will also be on the enemy.

Four of the seven surnames were cut off. And they are discredited and spurned by everyone, at this time, it is true that they can fight a beautiful war of annihilation by pursuing them, but if they are retained, the clans in the southeast will feel threatened and will be under pressure. They could only continue to surround Tang Yi.

Yang Boneng became the soul and leader of the Jin merchants, standing firm in the officialdom, and Tang Yi also wanted to fight for the spokesman of the interests of the southeast, and the southeast economy prospered. There are many readers, and after opening the sea, the potential is huge, if you bring this force under your command, it will definitely be the greatest help to the upper position.

And the remaining three surnames are not fools, since they can't confront Tang Yi, they can only choose to compromise and submit to Tang Yi's men.

Of course, the three major surnames of the maritime merchants have too many sins. However, they are more enterprising and more ruthless than other families. More familiar with the sea, expanding overseas markets in the future, colonizing and plundering, these dirty jobs have to rely on them.

If you can open up to them, you can show magnanimity to the world. It can also clean up people's hearts, so that the remaining three surnames are grateful to Dade and work harder, why not.

There is another reason, and that is Yang Bo!

This old man wants to touch the southeast. It immediately aroused Tang Yi's vigilance, he already regarded the southeast as his own one-third of an acre, how could he easily let the Jin merchants get involved.

If the seven surnames are destroyed, there will be a huge vacuum, and the families in the southeast will not be filled in time, and they will be exploited by the Jin merchants.

In the final analysis, Tang Yi's jealousy of the Jin merchants is still above the maritime merchants, who doesn't know that the eight imperial merchants smuggled and betrayed the country, and funded wild boar skins to bring down the Ming Dynasty. At present, the Jin merchants are not far behind, I have been in the Kou for many years, and the Jin merchants have not smuggled anything such as food and ordnance to the Mongols, and Tang Yi is not convinced.

The smuggling of Yuegang is only a few decades, and the Jin merchants have been in this business for more than a hundred years.

The Jin merchants and their allies, the Hui merchants, were very successful in doing business, but their success was based on the collusion between officials and businessmen, and on privileges, and this success was not only beneficial to the whole society, but also deeply harmful.

Tang Yi didn't want the southeast to just start, like a baby croaking to the ground, it would be contaminated with the genes of Jin Shang, and it would only grow into crooked melons and cracked dates.

"My son has changed!"

Tang Shen sighed sincerely, Tang Yi was also very powerful in the past, but he always had a feeling of being sharp. Whether it is advocating the opening of the sea, or provoking Yan Shifan, or even killing Zhao Wenhua, or even competing with the surnames of Fujian and Zhejiang, although he has won the victory, there is always a little lacking.

To put it bluntly, it is craftsmanship, every time you have to work hard, painstakingly plan, and press all the chips, although it is very refreshing to win, but there are many costs and dangers.

People can't be lucky all the time, they can't chew too much, and they can't swallow the moment if they are too greedy.

Today's Tang Yi has not only learned to attack his opponents, but also learned when to stop, and learned to find the balance that is most beneficial to him in the complex entanglement of interests.

Jiajing regards the Yan Party and the Xu Party as the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and does not abandon it because of its turbidity likes and dislikes, Tang Yi also regards the family and maritime merchants as the Jing River and Weishui, and if the maritime merchants are excessive, they will knock it hard, and if they turn around, they can't let the family dominate, and they still need to be controlled by the maritime merchants. Only by harnessing these two horses well can he lead the southeast forward quickly, and Tang Yi can also be safe and comfortable in the carriage.

Setbacks make people grow, and after this battle, Tang Yi has unconsciously put himself in the perspective of the superior to balance the forces under him, although he is still very immature, but it is a good start.

Give it a thumbs up!

"What a pleasure!" Tang Shen grabbed the wine glass and touched Tang Yi heavily, "Come on, let's get drunk and rest!" ”

Here the Tang family father and son are drinking happily, but there is a father and son on the other side who are relatively speechless, who is Yang Bo and his eldest son Yang Junmin.

Yang Bo grabbed the crystal clear glass and drank the wine one by one, the wine was mellow, but the more the old man thought about it, the more angry he became. In the end, there was a snap and the glass was shattered.

"Dad, what are you doing here, you want some money!" Yang Junmin complained.

"Hmph, your father and I have never suffered a loss in my life, but I let a little rabbit cub with unlost hair be deceived, it's really shameless, shameless!"

Why is Yang Bo so angry, it turns out that after talking to Tang Yi that day, the old man rushed back to Xingyuan and called his son over, he dictated it, and Yang Junmin wrote it.

Yang Bo tried hard to recall, for fear of missing Tang Yi's whimsy. It took two or three hours to write that Yang Junmin's arm was about to break.

"Okay, that's good, according to this method, for decades, the grassland is what we want. Tang Yi said it well, we must learn to use economic weapons and use commodities to fight the Mongols, this is quite the essence of the pipe, it is well said, it is too good. Yang Bo sighed.

Yang Junmin scratched his head, "Dad, the child also thinks that this strategy is very clever, but is there a strategy?" ”

"What more do you want?" Yang Bo hesitated.

"Good, Dad, have you forgotten, aren't we going to enter the southeast and share the benefits of opening the sea?"

Yang Junmin's words woke up Yang Bo.

yes, how to forget about business.

No matter how good this strategy is, it can't be turned into silver immediately, and it also needs the cooperation of the imperial court and national policy, long-term strategy, to put it bluntly, it is a recipe for cooking, if you want to eat delicious, you also need to buy ingredients, you need to wash vegetables and cut them into pieces, you need to cook them in a pot, and season them carefully, and when you can eat them, it's hard to say whether you can live or not.

To put it mildly, it's a blank check.

This is not the case with the southeast open sea, which is now a dish on the table, and you can eat it with chopsticks.

Tang Yi, a typical painting cake, was hungry, and he fooled Yang Bo with a beautiful vision, and easily released him, but he didn't pay any decent price.

Can Yang Bo, who has come to his senses, not be angry!

Good guy, I have been fighting geese all my life, and I was pecked by geese, Tang Yi, you are really good!

Yang Junmin said with a smile: "Dad, I think Tang Yi is quite interesting, it's better for us to be a favor and make friends with him." ”

"No way!" Yang Bo said categorically: "Let me tell you a word, your father will eat everything in his life, but he will not suffer!" ”

Yang Junmin spread his hands, "Then what else can you do, the charges for attacking Nanjing are the Xu family and the Zheng family, plus the Li family and the Cai family who were confiscated before, more than half of the seven surnames have gone, and after such a long time, Your Majesty's anger has also disappeared a lot, but Tang Yi's can't help it." ”

Yang Bo kept his face calm and didn't speak, and after a while, he suddenly smiled.

"You kid look at it, your father has a way to make Tang Yi suffer a loss, and thank your father for his mercy!" Yang Bo stretched his waist and smiled arrogantly: "If you don't show your hand, you really be an old man." ”

……

The first half of the 36th year of Jiajing was turbulent and chaotic, and after the dispatch of six Qincha, the case in the southeast finally came to an end.

Yang Bo, the secretary of the military department, personally wrote a 10,000-word note and reported in detail the situation in the southeast. First of all, Yang Bo attributed the main crimes, such as looting the materials of the city's shippers, poisoning the governor Ruan Yi, attacking Nanjing City, and raising widows, to the four surnames who were raided.

Jiajing immediately ordered that among the four surnames, all those directly involved in the case would be decided, and the other men would be assigned to serve as slaves and maids.

For a time, more than 700 people were beheaded, including Li Dongsheng of the Li family, Cai Tonggui of the Cai family, and Zheng Hongyu and Xu Yunpu, who planned to attack Nanjing, were sentenced to Ling Chi.

In order to deter Xiaoxiao, the four were scattered in Hangzhou, Quanzhou, Suzhou, and Nanjing, and on the same day, they were guillotined.

The executioner tied them to the cross, and enjoyed the highest punishment of a thousand knives, every ten knives and one rest, and one shout the first day of the first three hundred and fifty-seven knives, such as large nail pieces, from the left and right sides of the chest, the first knife will be bloody, and the second knife will be bloodless...... After three days of cutting, the four of them were left with intact heads and skeletons.

The people who were deeply affected by the scourge of the Japanese invaders rushed to beg for the cut off pieces of meat, and took them back to pay tribute to their dead relatives and friends, cheers, screams, and curses were intertwined, and the surnames of Fujian and Zhejiang, who had controlled the southeast for many years, ended in this tragic way......
