It's just that after all, today's Yan Hong is the soul from the 21st century, and he doesn't take this set of things seriously. In his previous life, his wife's family was in trouble, and it was normal for her husband's family to pay for help. It is said that Yan Hong's body is possessed, and he will never blow away the late mother for this.

At that moment, Yan Hong smiled and said, "What should I do?" What's the matter, let's take the money to make up for the deficit when we go back. Say, How much have you lost? ”

Wan Niang gritted her silver teeth and said with courage: "Two thousand taels." After speaking, he looked up at Yan Hong, feeling uneasy in his heart. This is not a small amount, if Yan Hong has a seizure, it is not surprising that he will beat himself severely. I just hope that the other party will read the love of husband and wife, and don't make noise and embarrass yourself. Thinking about the silver taels he spent for the negative person, he felt that what he had done in the past was simply ridiculous

Yan Hong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and when he saw the pitiful expression of the late mother, he sighed and said, "Forget it." I'll go back and talk to Bao Chan and make up the money. If she asks, you will say that I lost the gambling money, and I misappropriated it, anyway, I lost 4,000 last time, and it is not worse than 2,000. It's just that your brother is abusing money like this is not a solution, and I will persuade him when I find an opportunity. If I have the opportunity, I will take him to Jinyiwei and give him an official position, it is better to have something to do than to be unrestrained. ”

In fact, in Yan Hong's opinion, these two thousand taels of silver are not a matter at all. Xiao Hades is not a rich man, and a large amount of money belongs to the Yan Mansion, but his own private accounts belong to those who enter and exit quickly, and he has never spared his money. This trip down to the south of the Yangtze River, along the way, the number of Yan Party offerings received was no less than 10,000 taels. At the beginning, he donated money to the Yellow River Shuangxia in Cangzhou to run a school, and one investment was 5,000 taels. So two thousand taels of silver. Even if you pay for it yourself, it's very easy.

It's just that he also has an idea. I'm going to wave my hand and say it's okay, you little lady really thinks that your husband is opening a bank. But I'm going to be more serious, so that you can know my goodness. That's why I said that.

Wan Niang thought that if she was told about the loss of money, she would be scolded by Yan Hong at the lightest, and maybe she would use this excuse to tie herself up and torture her again as she did in the past. Unexpectedly, not only did he forget it, but the other party was willing to give his younger brother a brocade guard. Although his family is a scholar, he doesn't think much of the background of the brocade eagle dog. But the other party's intention is not fake.

At the same time, the late mother was greatly moved, and at the same time, she thought of the person in her original heart, and now that the negative man thinks about it, it is nothing more than greedy for his own money, has he ever been sincere to himself? Thanks to her self-observance of women's ways, she didn't really let the other party take advantage of her, and she didn't lose her innocence. Otherwise, what face do you have to face this husband who loves you again?

Yan Hong saw that the other party was staring at him carefully, and couldn't help laughing: "It's all old husbands and wives." What else to watch? ”

Wan Niang said: "What old husband and wife, it is only two or three years in total." In the past, the concubine was blinded by lard, and she couldn't see the benefits of her husband in her eyes. In the future, I will change my mind and serve my husband for the rest of my life. It's just that the prime minister accepted a concubine later. I'm afraid that I won't come to me again, so the concubine has to take advantage of the current situation to take a few more looks and remember the appearance of the princess. ”

Yan Hong listened to her poignant words. I also felt that it was not a taste in my heart for a while. This night mother, I'm afraid that she is a staunch supporter of the concubine-free system in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, I always do not want to take a concubine myself. It's just that I can't listen to her about this matter.

When I think of this, those things of silver. Yan Hong didn't take it to heart even more, and said softly: "Don't talk nonsense, even if you accept a concubine, I won't snub you, go to sleep." ”

Yan Hong didn't sleep well this night. He dreamed that the rouge tiger Sun Yuerong was tied to the bed, and a man was tearing her clothes, and she was struggling desperately while desperately shouting Yan Hong to save me. Suddenly, I dreamed that Sun Yuerong was snuggled in a man's arms, looking loving, and said to herself: "I am already someone else's wife, you have ignored me for more than a year, what are you doing today?" ”

Yan Hong couldn't tell which of these two scenarios was more terrifying, but for him, it was a nightmare, and he was so scared that he was sweating like pulp.

The next day, Yan Hongfang had breakfast, and Yan Luo came to report that Zhang Siye, the eunuch of the country, had come to visit and was already waiting in the living room in the front yard.

Yan Hong was taken aback. Since there are only students who worship their teachers, how can there be a reason for teachers to worship students? Speaking of which, when he returned to Beijing this time, he also had the idea of asking his mentor for help and asking for advice on opening the sea. It's just that I don't know if Zhang Juzheng also took the money from the maritime merchants, and what his position is, so he didn't dare to go rashly. In addition, there were a lot of things at hand in the past two days, so I didn't make the trip. Unexpectedly, Zhang Juzheng actually came by himself.

After taking him to the living room in the front yard and kowtowing according to the etiquette of the master and apprentice, Zhang Juzheng waved his hand and said: "This is in your house, you don't have to be so formal, sit down and talk." ”

Yan Hong was quite embarrassed and said, "The disciple should have visited the teacher as soon as he came back, but he was really ...... yesterday."

Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "Forget it." It's good that you don't come to visit me. If you come to worship me, it will be a trouble. Do you know how big the basket you have provoked this time? ”

Yan Hong said blankly: "Teacher, why do you even know the Tao?" ”

"Is there anyone in the Jingshi who doesn't know the way?" Zhang Juzheng said in a deep voice, "That Lin Yangqian is Wu Zongbo's protégé, and he was actually forced to hang himself by you, does Wu Zongbo have face on his face?" More than half of the chapters impeaching you are from the lineage of the great uncle, and my country's eunuch is also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites. ”

Yan Hong suddenly realized. I really didn't take Lin Yangqian seriously, ignoring the other party's mentor background. Of course, Lin Yangqian is a student of Wu Shan, and he also knows that Wu Shan couldn't get along with himself in the big case of prostitution in the teaching department, and he can be regarded as a Liangzi. It's just that he forgot that Wu Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is the superior leader of the Guozijian, and it would be strange for him to tolerate himself continuing to study in prison.

However, he didn't take the identity of the prisoner seriously, it didn't matter if it was or not, and he smiled at the moment: "Could it be that Uncle Wu has removed the identity of the apprentice prisoner under the order?" ”

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said, "Although Uncle Wu thinks so, it's a pity that he can't do it. Although your share of the bastards is incomparable, the heavenly family is obviously useful. Wu Zongbo's consul general is true, but he can't do whatever he wants. If you really want to reform your fame, he can't get through the heavenly level, so he just sends you out of prison and out of sight. As a teacher, I came today to send you a ministry photo and documents. ”

The identity of the prisoner must be proved by the Ministry of Rites, otherwise there is no evidence whether the person is studying or out of prison. But for this kind of thing, it is enough to send one or two small officials, why is it a golden body to work in a dignified business?

Yan Hong hurriedly got up again, thanked his teacher, and then asked tentatively, "Teacher, you came today, I'm afraid there are other things, right?" ”

Zhang Juzheng didn't hide it, nodded and said: "Yes, I came here today to ask you, what do you think about the twists and turns of opening the sea?" The benefits of opening the sea are really so rich? ”

Yan Hong didn't know the extent of the other party's involvement, but listening to this, it seemed that he was not involved in the maritime interest group. He replied: "Returning to the teacher, opening the sea and trade, a million profits." If this is not the case, how can the coastal area fatten countless private businessmen, but now they are rich with these moths and poor with this court. Since he started talking, he simply talked eloquently, and expounded the truths he had thought about for many days.

Zhang Juzheng listened quite attentively, and after listening, he also nodded: "It seems that what I think is really right." Someone in the prison also approached me and asked me to write a letter against the opening of the sea trade. I think that there are pros and cons to this matter of opening the sea, and how to deal with it should be at your own discretion. But who is so zealous to take out the silver to buy the tongue of my Ming officials? To tell you the truth, it's my mentor Xu Ge, and they've all got it. ”

Yan Hong didn't expect that the other party would even say that Xu Jie's collection of money was that this teacher Zhang really regarded himself as his own, and he couldn't help but be grateful. But after thinking about it, this matter was originally tacit common sense by everyone, so what can you do? Can you report this? It's not that the Yan family doesn't accept it, and Sanfu Lu Tai must also have a share, this kind of thing is an open secret, how can you be afraid of people saying it?

He smiled bitterly and said: "Teacher, isn't the apprentice a little self-conscious, with these people, how can this sea be opened?" ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "Xianqi doesn't have to be so arrogant. The matter of opening the sea should be considered in the long run, not overnight. Now that Wang Zhi has not descended on the sea, Chen Dong and Ye Ma have gathered more than 10,000 people, and our Ming naval army is in ruins, the warships are dilapidated, and it is even rumored that fish boats are used to fill the numbers during the war. And there are many small ships and few large ships, and it is impossible to open the sea for trade today. Your notebook is nothing more than drawing bread to satisfy hunger. But with this picture cake, it is better than no cake, as long as the heavenly family can save the idea of opening the sea, and the old Yan Ge can come out to support it, there is quite a hope that this thing will be done. Yan Ge Lao's side, you have to take care of it yourself. The key point is the attitude of heaven. As long as the heavenly family nods, all kinds of affairs will be planned one by one. Even if you get the benefits of the promotion first, and gradually spread out, if this matter can really be done, there is no reason why it can't be done. ”

Yan Hong nodded again and again when he heard this. Zhang Juzheng said again: "Hehe, it seems that Zhang has accepted a good apprentice this time." If the benefits of opening the sea are really as great as you say, and in ten years, this can be done, it will be of great benefit to my Ming Dynasty and thousands of people. You've done a great job. ”

Yan Hong was said by Zhang Juzheng so unhurriedly, but he listened to it with enthusiasm, and felt full of hope. This is also the so-called celebrity effect, and the effect of the same words coming out of different people's mouths is naturally different. He said at the moment: "According to the teacher, the key to opening the sea lies in the attitude of the heavenly family, and the disciples are taught. But I don't know, if one day, the Heavenly Family asks about the opening of the maritime industry, how should I answer? (To be continued......)
