Fang Qingzhi's main task when he came to Yulin was to announce the decree, mainly the rewards of the imperial court and the opening of the border market in May. After the reading was completed, Fang Qincha set off from Hongshi Gorge and headed for Mandu Lubu.

Lord Yang, the governor of Yansui Town, also adopted Fang Yingwu's proposal, and under the banner of safety first, asked the imperial court to ask the border city officials to strictly control it, and the border town was responsible for attracting investment.

So out of thin air, a power was added to the border town, and the government only needed to set up checkpoints to collect taxes, but after the government did it, even the admission qualifications and shares of each family were directly in the hands of the government. It can be said that it is a model for creating approved projects without approval projects.

The news of the opening of the border city in Yulin was officially spread, which caused powerful merchants in the northwest to become more enthusiastic and come to Yulin City to look for opportunities.

Although the total profit of the border market is limited, and in the long run, the profit may not be as high as that of salt used to by Western merchants. However, if a normalized border market can be gradually formed in the future, this will add a stable profit growth point, which cannot be ignored from a business point of view.

In fact, the profit-seeking behavior of merchants is low-level, and the higher-level competition is not known to outsiders at all.

On this day, the three most influential and influential people in Yulin City who have the right to speak on local affairs met. Governor Yang and Eunuch Wang sat side by side, and Yu Linwei commanded Peng Qing to be the first to do so.

By the way, opposite Peng Qing is the student Fang Yingwu, and he was also called by Governor Yang to sit with him, which shows Governor Yang's reliance on the other party's great talent.

After the greetings, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, the commander of the Xichang factory, and the eunuch Wang Zhi and the eunuch of Yansui Town, who inspected the three sides and Yansui Town, coughed clearly--now the former eunuch Zhang Yao got his wish and left the border town and transferred to the hinterland area. Wang Zhi deigned to serve as the eunuch of the town. She was the first to speak: "When it comes to attracting investment, I don't think you can just bother Lord Yang to work hard. ”

Governor Yang asked knowingly: "That's what Eunuch Wang means." What should I do? ”

Wang Zhi wrote lightly: "This matter should be divided into three, and the governor's court, the eunuch guarding the town, and the Yulin guard will each get one." ”

She was clear. In this border market, the governor, the eunuch, and the Yulin guard were each responsible for one-third of the share. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to force Governor Yang and Fang Yingwu too quickly, Wang Zhi wouldn't even give this one-third.

Although Governor Yang cares about money, he thinks that as the highest official in Yansui Town, only one-third of them are too faceless and do not match his identity. However, it is not his style to fight for profits, and Governor Yang feels that he can't open his mouth.

At this time, Fang Yingwu pretended to be surprised at Wang Zhi, slapped a high hat and said, "I heard that Eunuch Wang is a person who is light on wealth and righteousness. Why do you want to take care of such money and mundane things? ”

Wang Zhi was young and vain, and he really boasted that he didn't love money, but at this moment he could only feel helpless and said: "My generation of eunuchs has the emperor's grace, and he should share his worries for the king." ”

When today's son is cool to eat, drink and have fun with rare treasures, and worship monks and monks, and the expenses in all aspects are very great, the capable eunuch will naturally assume the responsibility of looting money and treasures to offer to the Son of Heaven. Liang Fang and Qian Neng's generation are favored because of this.

Even with Wang Zhi's strength, it is inevitable that he will be vulgar, and he can't be careless about money. Of course, move out of the Son of Heaven. It is also to occupy the commanding heights.

Fang Yingwu patted the handrail lightly and said, "Since the factory boss wants to make a profit for you, how can you only get one-third?" ”

This can be described as amazing, not only Governor Yang was surprised. Even Wang Zhi and Commander Peng were very surprised. Isn't Fang Yingwu Governor Yang's staff advisor, why did he speak for Wang Zhi? For a while, the three of them were suspicious. didn't speak, just listened to what Fang Yingwu had to say.

Fang Yingwu looked at the three of them first. Only then did he continue: "I thought that the factory should be responsible for half of the share of this border market investment!" ”

"You mean really?" Wang Zhixin was straightforward and asked rhetorically. His own proposal only accounted for one-third, but Fang Yingwu suddenly increased it to half for him, what kind of spirit is this?

Fang Yingwu gave Governor Yang a look, and then said, "Of course it's true." As for the other half, it should be the governor of Yansui Town, the Governor of the Imperial Court, who is responsible! ”

Hearing this, Governor Yang almost laughed, this party really has something to say! Although it's not the first time I've seen it, Governor Yang still wants to admire, it's really smart!

Yes, first follow Wang Zhi's meaning and go one step further, increase his share to half, and by the way, increase his own share to half, but pity Commander Peng, there is no share left that has been divided. Let's look at Eunuch Wang, what should I do?

Wang Zhi is really difficult, this proposal is too testing of human nature. Fools also know that half of the share is of course better than a third, and of course the more money, the better, and Bixia likes this thing.

Now that Governor Yang has become a climate and is in full swing, it is impossible to completely exclude him, and he is afraid that half of it will be the most heroic result. However, Commander Peng is the object of her long-term contact, and it doesn't seem good to directly divide Commander Peng's share

In the end, Wang Zhi gritted her teeth and agreed to Governor Yang: "Just do it, you and I are each responsible for half!" As for Commander Peng, she could only appease and compensate afterwards.

When he said that, even Wang Zhi didn't expect that she would agree so quickly. Could it be that she subconsciously felt that Commander Peng, a small person, accounted for too much of a third, but it was difficult to say it clearly for the purpose of enveloping, and then she took advantage of Fang Yingwu's proposal to be the reason?

Governor Yang also gave Fang Yingwu a look and expressed his appreciation slightly. Unexpectedly, the share problem raised by Wang Zhi was solved by Fang Yingwu in a gesture, and his own benefits have increased, which is really happy.

What else in the world can be difficult to stop him? At this moment, Governor Yang couldn't help but have this thought.

Sensing that Governor Yang and Fang Yingwu were beaming proudly, Wang Zhi was very unhappy, "Don't be happy too early, maybe the imperial court will change its order overnight, and the bamboo basket will be empty of water in the border market." ”

Fang Yingwu is suspicious, is Wang Zhi's words implicit, or is it alarmist with no resentment? Governor Yang couldn't help but ask, "I want to hear about it." ”

"Did you know? Datong Town asked the imperial court to set up the border market in Datong this time! Wang Zhi broke the news.

Governor Yang and Fang Yingwu both frowned, Yansui Town is a new border town that has only existed in these years, and Datong Town is an absolute old qualification border town, often referred to as Xuanda together with Xuanfu Town, which is the outer defense line of the Beijing Division, and it is also the most important border town in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the political status and military status of this Datong Town are higher than that of Yansui Town, although the war in Yansui Town in recent years is better than that of Datong Town, and there have been two ministers in a row, but the weight of Yansui Town's speech is still inferior to that of Datong Town. What's more, the geographical location of Datong Town is better than that of Yansui Town, and it is more suitable for the establishment of a border city.

Before Governor Yang and Fang Yingwu could speak, Commander Peng preemptively said to Wang Zhi: "Datong wants to rob the border market, but we in Yansui Town must not agree, it all depends on the factory to come forward!" ”

Wang Zhi comfortably lifted Erlang's legs, glanced at Fang Yingwu, and then at Governor Yang, with a calm demeanor.

Both Fang Yingwu and Governor Yang believed that with the prestige of Eunuch Wang, if they came forward to negotiate with the imperial court and Datong Town, there would naturally be no problems, and the border city was still Yulin. But is it so easy to ask for Wang Zhi? I'm afraid I have to give up some shares again.

Fang Yingwu pondered for a moment, then turned to Governor Yang and said, "To solve this matter, you have to go out to play to the court." ”

Seeing this, Governor Yang knew what kind of urgency Fang Yingwu had, and said curiously: "If you were to write, how would you write?" ”

Fang Yingwu said solemnly: "Actually, there is nothing to write about, Yulin is located in a remote area, and it has little to do with the safety of Jingshi." And the Datong town is close to the Beijing Division, which must be guarded against a hundred times strictly, and the border city of Ruokai allows Hu Qi, who is unknown to the enemy, to come and go freely, is this not worth worrying about?

Could it be that for the sake of small profits in the border city, he disregarded the safety of the Beijing Division? Have you forgotten about the Civil Fort? I think the person who proposed to open a border city in Datong should be beheaded! ”

Governor Yang praised: "It makes sense! ”

Wang Zhi was disappointed, but she also had to admit that what Fang Yingwu said was extremely reasonable. If this is really done to the imperial court, the imperial court will definitely reject Datong's opinion.

However, thinking that she could solve the problem without relying on her at all, Wang Zhi felt greatly frustrated. came up with almost the same thought as Governor Yang, what else could be difficult to deal with?

This person is very disgusting and unhappy Wang Zhi stared at Fang Yingwu for a long time with a straight face, her eyes were cloudy, and she didn't know what to think again.

Governor Yang felt that the atmosphere was not right, and was about to say something to end today's meeting. But he heard Eunuch Wang say: "Fang Xiucai has done a very good job in Yulin City, I see it in my eyes, what does Governor Yang think?" ”

Of course, Governor Yang wanted to protect Fang Yingwu, so he said: "That's true. Fang Yingwu didn't understand what Wang Zhi meant, so he could only reply cautiously: "I have won the prize." ”

Wang Zhi sighed and said, "I heard that Fang Xiu was assigned by Bixia, and everyone else is not easy to beak. In this case, I should ask Bixia to ask the Holy Oracle to forgive your sins, so that a great talent like you will not waste time in the border town of Yulin, and let you go back to your hometown to study! ”

What the? Fang Yingwu was stunned, and Governor Yang was also stunned, with Wang Zhi's trust in the emperor, he would definitely be sure to ask for a pardon for Fang Yingwu.

It's not angry now, it's been almost a year, and the emperor's pardon is naturally not psychologically obstructive. Besides, Fang Yingwu made meritorious contributions and gave the emperor the vanity of canonizing the Khan of Beiyu once, so Wang Zhi said a few good words, and it was certainly not difficult for the emperor to let Fang Yingwu return to his hometown.

Wang Zhi couldn't help but be slightly proud of his idea, and without Fang Yingwu as a strategist, Governor Yang went to his right hand, which was equivalent to drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, and he lost at least one-third of his strength.

She saw Fang Yingwu smiling bitterly and speechless, and her heart was even more refreshed, what else could she do now? She didn't believe it, there was nothing else in this world that could stump Fang Yingwu! (To be continued......)

PS: Consider leaving Yulin, after all, these things in the border town are not what I am good at, and it is not good to write about it
