Xu Honggen and Tian Jianzhang were very aware of the emperor and the imperial court, this time it was very successful, and it was also very clever to bring all the middle-class merchants into their hands, and economically stabilized the control of the entire Ming economy by the Northern Zhili! Even if the world is in turmoil, unless the Northern Zhili is no longer there, and the imperial power is completely overthrown, the economy of the entire Ming Dynasty will not be chaotic!

But Xu Honggen and Tian Jianzhang are also very clear that no matter how good the economic control is! It will not work without political and military maintenance! Take Yangzhou as an example! As long as Yangzhou can't hold it, the emperor's economic restructuring is basically a flower in the water!

Xu Honggen is waiting for Yangzhou to lift the ban in two days! Even, if Yangzhou does not lift the ban, Nanjing should also start to act! He is not anxious, this is not a loss, at most it is not a loss or a win, even if it is not as much as he earned before, but the life and status of their Jiangnan gentry will not be affected too much. But if Nanjing pushes the imperial power out of Yangzhou, or even to the north of the Yangtze River! This slap is unbearable even for the emperor!

Now the focus of the court and businessmen has risen from the commercial category to the political category, any commercial competition, always inseparable from this category, the most business, to do the last, is equivalent to being an official, business people may be more understanding of officialdom than people in officialdom!

Tian Jianzhang fell into deep worry, although he did not take the slightest advantage in this bidding and in this economic restructuring, but after all, he was a relative of the emperor, and the Shanxi merchant gang he represented was also very weak in the contest with the Huizhou merchant gang! He wanted the imperial power to be strong, and he hoped to rely on the strong imperial power to take advantage, at this point. His position is different from that of the big landlord class in Jiangnan, which is strong in all respects!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen didn't like Tian Jianzhang's identity. Relatives are tumors. In that era, it will not change, but when they are isolated, the emperors often think of these people first, and their relatives are even better than their own relatives! Because they are attached to the imperial power, but they are not fully integrated into it! The prince can't be killed! Relatives can still be killed at any time!

Everyone left one after another, only Tian Jianzhang once again sent an invitation to Jian Xunlou and Shi Kefa, "Lord Zhan." Master Shi, it's not too early, you should be busy and haven't had dinner yet, right? I just went to the cold house to use some casually, I also want to celebrate the two adults, this time the two adults have done a great thing for the court for the country and the people, and the emperor will be happy. ”

Shi Kefa and Jian Xunlou glanced at each other, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's impression of this Tian Jianzhang was average, not good or bad, if Tian Jianzhang was a relative of the emperor, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen would not like it. But Tian Jianzhang is a businessman, and Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen still admires this person a little. Not only does it have a city government, but it also has a heart, and there is a little bit of patriotism! Otherwise, he wouldn't have won a large number of targets in the first round of the seven provinces that were more likely to cause rebellion.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen himself has experience in running township enterprises, and he can be regarded as half a businessman, so he has a good impression of Tian Jianzhang in business! "Go, I just want to hear Tian Gongzi's opinion on the reform of the salt, tobacco, tea and horse in the imperial court this time."

Shi Kefa heard what Xun Lou said, and nodded with a smile, "Then I have to go, this is the first time I have to go back to the home of the emperor's relatives, isn't the imperial court not allowing the emperor's relatives to make friends with foreign ministers?" Even if I go with the inspector, I won't be an example. ”

Tian Jianzhang was overjoyed, "That's good, making friends with me is not a private relationship with the emperor's relatives, I am the identity of a small businessman, I generally don't move out of my identity, all the people at the bottom like to show off, our family is actually very low-key, my sister has never been to the people since she entered the palace, and she has never returned to Jiangnan." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, this is also one of the reasons why he loves Tian Guifei very much, Zhou Keer is very low-key, except for Zhou Keer, she will be regarded as Tian Guifei, compared to Yuan Guifei, Tian Concubine can be regarded as a marginal figure in the palace, except for the emperor looking for her, she almost does not contact anyone.

Tian Jianzhang's mansion is very luxurious! When the middle door was opened, a family member had already gone back to report and prepare, and Tian Hongyu came out to greet him in person!

Tian Jianzhang personally held the sedan curtain for the inspector, "Dad, this is the nephew of the prince, the inspector of the Xun Building, the inspector, this is my father." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly at Tian Hongyu, who was in his fifties, in fact, it was the first time he saw this old man, Concubine Tian's background was not high, and she didn't like to compete for favor, she rarely mentioned her family to the emperor, and Tian Hongyu was not summoned by the emperor.

"Hello Tian-sama." Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's tone is very flat, this can't be acted, no matter how big an official he sees, it's not as big as him? It is impossible to put on a deferential expression.

Tian Hongyu didn't care, he was gentle and serious, but he was like a well-educated Confucian, "I have admired the name for a long time, I have admired the name for a long time, the inspector and the Shi master can come to the cold house, and my Tian family is honored." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen didn't like to be polite, but Shi Kefa had a few words with the old man, although Shi Kefa had never made friends with people in private, but his kung fu was not bad. "When Xia Guan first arrived in Yangzhou, he was not very familiar with the situation here, and he hoped that Lord Tian and Tian Gongzi would take more care of him in the future."

Tian Hongyu smiled slightly, "Naturally, this is not a matter of Lord Shi's orders, the relationship between our Tian family and the royal family is no worse than that of the Ming family, the royal affairs, the affairs of the imperial court, even if our Tian family loses its old life, we must fully support it." Two foreign adults, please play music inside. ”

A group of people from the Tian family are blowing and blowing, this Tian Hongyu is not only a rich party, but also loves opera, and a troupe raised by the family is even stronger than the royal opera troupe.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was a little displeased, the reason why he agreed to come to Tian Hongyu's house this time was to listen to Tian Jianzhang's help analyze what challenges the Jiangnan economy would encounter, not to have fun, and Yangzhou City was still under ban, so high-profile, it didn't seem to be very good.

Lord Jian didn't speak, Shi Kefa spoke, "Lord Tian, Master Tian, I guess the reason why Lord Zhen came to the mansion to pay a visit is to hear you tell me what crises the imperial court will encounter directly under the government of Yangzhou, we are not here to ......, you ...... like this"

Shi Kefa's face is not very thick, and some words cannot be spoken. (To be continued......)
