Yang Sichang is a Jinshi in the 38th year of Wanli, and returned to his hometown after being excluded by the eunuch party in the third year of the Apocalypse.

Like his father Yang He, both of them went to office because they offended the eunuch party, and they were both reused after Chongzhen came to power.

Compared with Li Chong, Yang Sichang's career is much smoother, the two are of the same age, but Yang Sichang has been serving as an official in Hangzhou, Nanjing and other places, and he has to be reused just together.

Li Chong and Yang Sichang are the same year in the same year, but Dengke is a year later than him, but he is a Jinshi in the forty-first year of Wanli, his qualifications are shallow, and his official position is much lower than Yang Sichang, not to mention Wu Wei, the two heard that Yang Sichang came to visit in person, they were taken aback, and hurriedly got up and went to the door to greet them.

I saw a two-person sedan chair parked by the door, and a middle-aged man in regular clothes with an excellent appearance stood in front of him. ”。 Li Chong hurriedly stepped forward and said with a long bow: "Li Jichang in Fujian, I have seen the political officer!" Wu Wei followed behind Li Chong and also saluted.

Yang Sichang's hands waved again and again, and said: "Hugh has to mention what adults are not big, you and I are just equals, speaking of which, you are still the benefactor of my Yang family, please accept Sichang's worship!" "After that, he shook it to the ground.

The dignified four-grade participation in politics was so humble, but Wu Wei, who was accustomed to seeing the strict hierarchy of officialdom in both generations, was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted that the benefactor Yunyun in Yang Sichang's mouth was referring to the great victory in northern Shaanxi.

Yang He served as the governor of the three sides. It was originally dug a pit by others, and if the thieves were allowed to continue to rage, and then a few states and counties were lost, it was impossible to say that he would be robbed of his official position and even go to prison.

The victory in northern Shaanxi actually made its peak turn around, and it was a blessing in disguise, not only was it not pitted, but it also entered the worship of the prime minister in one fell swoop! The inside story, as well as Wu Wei's huge contribution. No one else knows. Yang Sichang, as the son of Yang He, how could he not know?

Let's not say that Yang He is Yang Sichang's backer, if the backer falls, Yang Sichang's career will become extremely difficult. Take the filial piety of father and son as an example. With Wu as Li Chong, he blocked such a catastrophe for Yang He. It is not too much to be worshiped by Yang Sichang!

Yang He's letter briefly mentioned that Wu Wei and Li Chong had a son-in-law, so Yang Sichang directly greeted Li Chong as soon as he came up and exchanged years. Let's talk about the identity of the elders first, and deliberately ignore Wu Wei aside.

The two saw each other very happily, and after a pleasant greeting, Li Chong stretched out his hand sideways to invite Yang Sichang to enter, Yang Sichang caught a glimpse of Wu Wei, and pretended to be surprised: "This is Brother Wu, who has admired his name for a long time!" ”

Wu Wei smiled and arched his hand: "The next official is Wu Wei, and he has seen the political masters." ”

"Oh, I said don't call me an adult, today I only talk about friendship, and I don't mention the clichés of officialdom. I and Zun Yue are in the same year as the township test, if Brother Wu doesn't give up, he will call me uncle. Yang Sichang said with a smile.

"Uncle Shi's words are from him." Wu Wei said with a smile, he was also happy to get closer to Yang Sichang.

The three of them walked into the post station with a smile all the way, and Wu Weiwei's personal guard stepped forward to lead Yang Sichang's entourage, Mrs. Sedan chair, and others to the side to rest and settle down.

If only Wu and Li were kind to Yang He, Yang Sichang would not be so enthusiastic, what moved him was that Yang He mentioned in his letter that Wu Wei implemented various measures in Ansai, enriching the people, strengthening the army, and developing business travel, all of which were extraordinary, all of them scratched his itch, and they were all things he wanted to do but didn't know how to start.

Yang Sichang has high ambitions and extraordinary knowledge, and has served in various places. Over the years, the great tomorrow disasters and man-made disasters have been frequent, and the country's situation has deteriorated, all of which have fallen into his eyes, and he has also made a lot of attempts in addition to being anxious.

He also tried to raise food and salaries, and organized a regiment of more than 2,000 people to train troops, and he continued to practice every day, and the bandits in Kaifeng and the left and near the left were extinct, and his efforts were also inseparable.

In addition, the king of Zhou in Kaifeng was also an enlightened clan, and he exploited tenants lightly, which also made the vicinity of the provincial capital Kaifeng a pure land in Henan.

But after all, Yang Sichang is the right person in Henan to participate in politics, not Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and he also knows very well that the people in other parts of Henan are not living well, but he has no money and no food, and there are some things he can't do, so he has to do nothing in vain.

The reason why Yang Sichang was powerless was naturally that there was someone with a higher status than him, and it was much higher, and that was the vassal kings of all parts of Henan.

The Ming Dynasty divided seven vassal kings in Henan Province, except for the more enlightened King of Zhou, the other vassal kings were all insatiable.

Among them, the most famous Fu Wang is the son of Shenzong, deeply favored by his father, one person divided 20,000 hectares of feudal fields, and are all anointed land, the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years, where there is still excess land to him, so the local government forcibly seized the small people's fields and occupied them as feudal fields, resulting in a large number of homesteaders bankrupt, displaced, turned into thieves.

In this way, it was still insufficient, and even asked the province and the surrounding provinces of Huguang and Sichuan to levy additional taxes and grain to make up for the loss of the insufficient part of the feudal fields, which also caused a heavy burden on such a relatively wealthy place.

When the problem was at its worst, an official from the household department reported to the emperor that the taxes in Henan Province were not enough to pay the clan!

Even if he knows this kind of drawbacks, but the system of the national dynasty is like this, what can Yang Sichang, who is a member of the scholar and deeply influenced by the Confucian idea of loyalty to the monarch?

He can only get up in the middle of the night and walk around the room, worrying like a burner!

But now the situation is different, Yang He's letter to him made the situation very clear, the disaster situation in Ansai is stricter, the land is more barren, and the rebellion of the Liukou is ten times stricter than that in Henan, and the young man in front of him has cut off these problems one by one in more than half a year, so that Ansai will never suffer from freezing, if it weren't for his father's words, he would almost think it was a joke!

If Ansai can be governed, then Henan is not a problem, if so, this person is really a countryman!

Li Chong saw that Yang Sichang's attitude was so friendly, and gradually put his mind at ease. Although he joined Yang He's door, after all, the time is still short, and the relationship is not deep, and he can't accept it with his son, and the two sides hit it off.

And Wu Wei is indispensable, Yang Sichang's details he knows better than anyone else, just kidding, is it written in the book, in real history, this person served as the secretary of the military department in Chongzhen for ten years after eight years, and Zhang Luo exterminated the thieves.

At that time, it was already the era of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. Belch. There is also a Luo Rucai, who is now staying in Ansai, eating and drinking, and marrying several mothers-in-law. Busy giving birth to a son all day long. He won't be able to rebel.

Li and Xian didn't hear anything about it. Hey, the times create heroes, and now the shape of northern Shaanxi has changed. I can't tell where the two of them are working in a factory now, food and clothing are completely worry-free, and they don't have the heart to rebel if they want to.

Even if Zhang Xianzhong has a more tyrannical temperament, at most he will become an underworld gangster, and if he wants to rebel, there is no door, not to mention that no one follows, and the Ansai camp is not a vegetarian!

The three of them had their own thoughts, walked into the inner hall to talk, and chatted until it was nearly noon, and left the political counselors to have lunch, and they still talked happily during the banquet.

Among them, there is no need to go into detail, but I know that the right political officer finally went out to say goodbye with a happy face, so that the entourage lady and so on are very surprised.

It turned out that Wu Wei introduced the details of Ansai's water conservancy, sanitation, and commercial measures to Yang Sichang one by one, which was a hundred times more detailed than what Yang He's letter said.

After Yang Sichang's careful consideration, many of them can be implemented in Henan without hindrance. He was particularly interested in lamp oil, steel, and coal stoves. Ruzhou and Xuzhou in Henan are today's Pingdingshan, there are large coal mines in both places, and there are quite a lot of oil and iron mines.

He immediately made a decision and invited Wu Wei to let Ansai merchants set up factories in Henan, Wu Wei agreed after a little thought, in addition to the scale of steelmaking is the core secret of various industries, before his own power is strong enough, he can only nest in Ansai, other technologies are not complicated, it is difficult to prevent the spread, but compared with ordinary imitators, they still have scale and financial advantages.

What's more, his plan is to open "Rishengchang" to all parts of the country, implement capital expansion, control the industrial chain, even if the technology is diffusion, it is not for his own work, and the bulk of the profits is still firmly in his own hands!

Of course, this plan is not enough for outsiders now, and when others understand, they can only receive and ship goods in the hands of "Rishengchang" and accept the price set by "Rishengchang".

Sheep are sheep, how to shear wool and when to shear it, that's the shepherd's business!

Of course, Yang Sichang will not understand these truths, but he has already got what he wants, and Wu Wei promised that as long as he is in any day, all industries will have half of his dry shares.

It doesn't seem to be much, but the actual amount is extremely scary, rough calculation, if the industry is prosperous in the future, it is impossible to say that there are hundreds of thousands of millions of taels of silver a year, and half of the dry shares mean tens of thousands of taels of silver!

The previous unlucky Yan'an Wei commander only had a year's income of only 1,000 taels of silver, Yang Sichang is a civil official, although the right political position is a lot of oil and water, but it is not more than 5,000 taels in a year, and he is unwilling to knock the bones and marrow of the people like corrupt officials, and the income is even less.

Suddenly got ten times the previous income, and it didn't hurt the cheapness, even if Yang Sichang boasted of being a Qingsuke, he couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart!

What's more, there are general benefits, and I can't say that in the future, the oil and water will be ten points more than that half-dried stock!

It turns out that Wu Wei is also preparing to open up the participation of local gentry and powerful people to participate in the shares, so as to facilitate the more rapid expansion of various industries.

Rather than being sabotaged, it is better to let these people join in and form a community of interests, and they will naturally become the natural defenders of Wuwei's business system.

But who to choose and who not to choose, there is still a lot of knowledge in this, and Wu and Li are not familiar with this local situation, so naturally they can only hand it over to Lord Yang to make it difficult, and they must help with this.

Lord Yang is a smart person, he knows the elegance when he hears the string song, he is overjoyed, this power is a great resource, and he is afraid that those gentry and tyrants who want to get rich will not step through their own threshold?

Wu Wei has done a lot of business now, and Li Chong is also roughly clear, but his eyes are straight when he listens to it, and his breathing has become much thicker.

Seeing Yang Sichang's sedan chair go away, Wu Wei turned to Li Chong and grinned, "My lord, it's too early at this moment, do you want to go to Kaifeng City to have a look?" (To be continued......)
