Xie Zheng didn't stay too long yesterday and left, what did he talk about with Xie Chang, Yang Chengzu didn't ask much, just looked at Xie Chang's dejected appearance, and knew that the result of the meeting was not ideal for him.

When Xie Zheng got into the carriage, he only said that the Xie family was committed to the court and supported all the measures of the court. Speaking of this, coupled with the marriage and the gift of land, Xie Qian's attitude is relatively clear, and the Xie family is in step with the imperial court in this matter.

The Xie family has a big business, and it may not be necessary not to interfere in the sea trade, such as the public opinion trend of this strike and the ban on sea trade, it is difficult to say how much the Xie family has done. But as a veteran of the Four Dynasties and a veteran of politics, Xie Qian's sense of smell is far more sensitive than that of ordinary people.

He had apparently discovered that the imperial court's intentions towards the Japanese were very tough, and there was even the possibility of large-scale naval trade in the future. Even though the Xie family has many adults and a profound heritage, it is definitely not the way to protect the family business with the Son of Heaven.

Mingzhe protects himself and maintains neutrality, Xie Qian's attitude is actually not surprising. After all, when he was in power, he was also not known for being tough, and if it weren't for that, Jiajing wouldn't want him to be added to the cabinet.

Yang Chengzu took the Xue family to see Lin Shuiqing, not simply to declare sovereignty, to show the relationship between the two, but also to discuss the matter, that is, the auction of dirty things.

In the seizures on Black Shark Island, in addition to silver, grain, medicine and other items, there are also many simple goods, as well as some pearl agate, calligraphy, painting and antiques and other precious items. Although these things are valuable, they cannot be directly distributed to the soldiers, and if they want to be turned into military funds, they must eventually be sold.

The Black Shark Gang, who originally hoarded these goods, wanted to sell these things overseas, and now, the Franc Robot is nominally not allowed to go ashore. If you want to trade, you have to find another buyer, Ningbo, as a port city, still has a strong sales capacity. According to Yang Chengzu's idea, it was to organize a large-scale auction to sell these dirty goods to foreign businessmen who came to Ningbo to buy, so as to revitalize the entire business community in Ningbo.

When foreign merchants buy goods, they have to go through the tooth shop, and they are not allowed to buy and sell without permission. The significance of this auction is that it gives a signal to foreign businessmen that as long as they cooperate with Yang Ji, it is possible to bypass Yaxing and be less exploited.

Of course, there must be resistance in this way, and there are also many problems in policy, and it will obviously not work without the support of Zhejiang. Yang Chengzu can clap his hands and leave, but the Xue family still has to operate in Ningbo, and Lin Shuiqing's preparation of books can't be bypassed.

Although the words are not clear, looking at the intimacy between the two of them, which is completely different from that in front of the banquet, Lin Shuiqing, as a veteran of Fengyue, naturally understands what the relationship between the two is. Not only sighed that Yang Chengzu was bold and dared to do something to the three-grade woman, but also a little envious of this person's blessing, such a good woman finally fell into his hands.

"Yang Qincha, this auction is ...... There seems to be no precedent to be found. Besides, each of these filthy things has its own owner, if the owner comes to the door, but we don't return it, isn't it? ”

"Uncle Lin, if you think this matter is inappropriate, then forget it. Let's find another way to raise food, but it's a pity that someone from Mu Zhaigong's house came last night and talked about it. The eighteenth house brother of Baoshutang, someone must come out to do business to supplement the family, and they are also very interested in this auction. Now I have to talk to them and find another business to do. ”

"Yang Qin is poor and slow, if this matter is related to Mu Zhaigong, then it is another matter. Let's discuss it again, discuss it again. ”

Three days later, the ships carrying the captives sailed north to Beijing, and on the other hand, the auction of the dirt seized from Black Shark Island also kicked off in Ningbo, and the city was revitalized after the tribute incident. At the same time, the activities of King Xie Zun to rescue his eldest son have also entered a new peak.

Xie Zun has been operating in the southeast for many years and has a wide range of connections, even if the situation is serious, he can still find a few people to talk about. Several chief managers of the Xie family rushed over from Nanjing with heavy gifts, and with them, there was also an uncle from the Xia family's house, who came to Yang Chengzu to ask for favors.

Zhengde's genuine queen Xia Niangniang is a native of Shangyuan, Nanjing, although she entered the palace, but there are still a considerable number of people in the mother family who live in Nanjing. This lady is not favored, Zhengde has not even been fortunate to her, but she is nominally the queen after all, and there is always the treatment she deserves, and she is also quite an influential figure in Nanzhili.

Xie Chang's youngest daughter was allowed to give a young master in the Xia family's house as his wife, and the person has not yet passed the door, but the two families are also in-laws after all. The Xia family was not unaware of the Black Shark Gang and even the Japanese Kou, but on the surface, they still pretended to be deaf and dumb, as if it had never happened.

This time Black Shark Island was breached, Xie Chang said that it was a meat ticket that was tied, but the government did not release people for a long time, and everyone can understand the doorway here. The entire Wuyi Xie family is implicated in the great crime of Tongwei, and the Xia family can't sit back and watch all this happen, as an in-law, it is reasonable to come out and suppress the matter.

With the face of Empress Xia, it was not difficult for them to see Yang Chengzu, and the gifts sent by the housekeeper were also very heavy, including more than a dozen calligraphy and paintings collected by the Xie family, hundreds of antiques, and the title deed of 3,000 acres of Shangtian. These things are given to Yang Chengzu himself, and at the same time, the Xie family is also willing to hand over two sea ships and more than forty percent of the grain share to Yang Ji. Xie Zun's posture so far is almost an attitude of surrender, just to protect the family, and he doesn't want to compete.

The uncle of the Xia family also took out the royal family's style, and persuaded on the side, "When the water is clear, there is no fish, many things, you can pass with one eye open and one eye closed, why do you have to distinguish clearly?" The Xie family has been in the maritime business for many years, and there are some things that you can not get involved if you don't want to. Just like Yang Ji doing business, when he encounters those bandits, is it different to pay money to buy a road? If you pay more money, there will be a relationship between the two sides, which can't be called a bandit, right? And so they are. It is normal to pay money to the Japanese people to buy peace, it is not always good to call it a common widow, you have to make meritorious contributions and become famous, this is normal. We are in Beijing, we will speak for you, to ensure that your credit is good-looking, there is no need to stare at the people of Xie's hometown, what do you think? ”

Yang Chengzu's attitude is gentle, and when the gift is accepted, people can also see it, but when it is released, there is no attitude. No matter how the uncle of the Xia family slapped the table and glared at him, he still had this attitude, and the two housekeepers from the Xie family had been running the yamen for a long time, and they could see that they had no intention of letting people go at all, so they had to turn around and leave helplessly.

At the Nanjing wharf, more than a dozen guards escorted two young women onto a small boat. One of the two women was veiled, and the other was dressed as a maid. The maid said, "Miss, do you really want to go by yourself?" That Yang Chengzu, I heard that she is a drunken person, you go to see her, this is ...... It's really not good. If the Xia family found out, they would be unhappy. ”

The young lady shook her head, "If it weren't for the fact that I had sent guards to rob the prison behind my grandfather's back, things wouldn't have been so bad, I caused this disaster, and I should take care of the aftermath." I know he's a drunkard, but that's why I'm going to be more useful than the butlers. Since he accepted the money and refused to let him go, he had no choice but to give it away. As long as I can stop my father from suffering, I don't care about anything. The Xia family, don't mention it, I and Xia Gongzi are destined to have no chance in this life, as long as I rescue my father, I can escape into the empty door, or die with peace of mind, in short, I will not live to disgrace the Xie family. ”
