After all, Old Yan Song is eighty years old, but he didn't think about it so much, and he didn't realize that Yan Hu was smoking the old man's mouth, but he just felt that Yan Hu was talking so badly. Obviously, the family is here to discuss national affairs, but this bastard boy is fanning the wind and lighting the ghost fire on the side, where is there the appearance of the grandson of the Yan Mansion, it is clearly the cheap shabby who begs for money. Seeing Yan Shifan blast Yan Hu away, Yan Song was also secretly a little angry in his heart, so he didn't answer the conversation, and said to himself: "Speaking of which, that Uncle Zhang is a first-class person in the court, and this time he has really worked hard to open the sea, and the truth and insight he said are far better than those of mediocre people, so it is not an exaggeration for him to get the first credit." Since Xu Ge is married to my Yan Mansion, and they are also allies with each other, we don't have to worry too much about him. Whoever gets the merit will be harmless. Speaking of which, with Uncle Zhang's letter, the matter of opening the sea must be decided. I think that within ten months, the Heavenly Family will arrange for Qin to send out of Beijing, tour the coast, and supervise commercial affairs. You say, who is the candidate this time? ”

Ouyang Bijin said: "Elder Ge, you are asking knowingly." Hong'er has been a Qincha for the past few times, which time did he not do things beautifully? He is deeply favored by the heavenly family, and every time he returns to Beijing, he will be given to see, which is the glory, how many people in the world can reach? Anyone in the court who understands, who can't see that the heavenly family is wholeheartedly Hong'er. This time, of course, it is to let Hong'er work hard to do Qincha, and it is also easy to master. ”

Yan Shifan often had trouble with his uncle, and this time he nodded: "Uncle is reasonable. One guest does not bother the two masters, this matter of opening the sea was originally presided over by Hong'er, and it is natural for him to go. That Hu Zongxian and Hong'er have been cooperating for a long time, and Hong'er in the trench realm is also familiar with the way, as well as Wang Zhi and Xu Hai in Yizhou. It was all saved by Hong'er. He went to deal with these things. It's a bento. If you choose to go somewhere else, how can you do it properly? When the time comes, the father will be wronged by the people he has been assigned. ”

Yan Maoqing also joked on the side: "Chunchen is young and is already a pillar of the country. This southward opening of the sea will surely make another great feat. Uncle Yu wants to ask you for an errand, and go to the south of the Yangtze River together, one is to contribute some silver for the heavenly family, and the other is to live up to the kindness of his father-in-law. ”

Yan Maoqing's words were watering. No surprise to everyone. This trip down to the south of the Yangtze River is to open up the sea for trade, send ships to lead, and set up ports. The waves on the sea are a treasure land for the circulation of wealth. Taixi's goods, Nanyang's native products, and the silver of the Wa Kingdom, anything is a lot to be gained. Since this matter is handled, the oil and water in it are not 120,000 taels. I'm afraid it's going to be 100,000 million. Who wouldn't want to take a pinch out of it? Even if you can't be a chief envoy, be a deputy envoy. It's enough to catch enough.

Luo Longwen smiled at Yan Maoqing and said: "Brother Yan, Deputy Dutang Yan, you have already paid official worship to the imperial envoy of the left deputy capital, and you are a member of the third rank of the imperial court, and the virtuous nephew of the pure minister is now just a Shaoqing from the fifth grade Shangbao Si. If you want the two of you to go out together, then you must be the main envoy and the pure minister as the deputy envoy. However, although you are old and only skipped others, in the eyes of the younger brother, in the matter of opening the sea, there are still great shortcomings than the pure ministers and virtuous nephews, if you sit on the throne, it may not be beneficial to the country, and I am afraid that the heavenly family may not be happy in front of it. ”

Yan Maoqing snorted coldly, noncommittal. Luo Longwen said again: "Father-in-law, brother-in-law, virtuous nephew, Luo was originally a businessman, a humble person, but now under the protection of his father-in-law, he has become an official of the scholars, but he is from the seventh grade, four levels lower than the pure minister's virtuous nephew, if the virtuous nephew can see me, he will go with the virtuous nephew and give you a hand, it is also convenient." ”

Yan Hong couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, these court officials of his uncles and uncles actually wanted to help him. However, speaking of which, this Uncle Luo Longwen can also be called a good candidate for opening the sea in some aspects. He was originally capable of doing things, and he had an affair in the early years, and he had a wide range of channels and contacts in Jiangnan. Even Wang Zhi and Xu Hai are also Luo Longwen's fellow villagers. Although Luo Long's civil official rank is very low, he can also be called a general in the Yan Party.

There is only one inappropriateness, that is, when Luo Longwen rescued Wang Cuiqiao, the two were quite unclear for a while. Moreover, in the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing, when Yan Hong went down to the south of the Yangtze River for the first time, Luo Longwen also sent poison to bribe Yan Hong to kill Xu Hai. After that, Yan Hong did not poison Xu Hai to death as Luo Longwen requested, but turned around and let Zhao Wenhua drink the poison. With this one thing between each other, and now that Wang Cuiqiao has done Yan Hong's outer room in Jiangnan, this trip will inevitably be embarrassing if it is really in the past. Of course, with Luo Longwen's cheekiness, it is estimated that he will not feel anything, but Yan Hong himself is still a little unbearable.

Yan Hong was hesitating, but he heard Yan Song say: "Hong'er, you said, if you are asked to do it with all your might, can you do it well?" ”

Yan Hong had already pondered this topic in his heart. Listening to his grandfather's question, he pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The matter of opening the sea is beneficial to the country and the people, and there is a lot to be done, but there are many dangerous obstacles. If today's family agrees, grandfather, father and uncles support, and grandchildren can only do their best, and it is difficult to ensure everything. ”

He wasn't modest. Although after going to the south of the Yangtze River several times and learning about the situation in Beijing, he concluded that the lifting of the sea ban was indeed greatly beneficial to the Celestial Empire. However, this involves inextricable relationships and interests, and it is by no means clear in a few words. As a warrior in brocade, he used hooligan methods to deal with ordinary wealthy merchants, but now it is not to defeat any enemy, nor just to suppress a group of people, but to establish a mechanism that can at least work to ensure that the sea ban can be opened and the money can be transported to the treasury at the same time. In addition to business acumen and management thinking, we must also have a way to drive tens of millions of officials. And to complete this matter, in Yan Hong, at least he is not good at it, and he does not dare to be confident.

Yan Song said: "The old man thinks the same way. In his recital, Uncle Zhang said that the opening of these ports and the follow-up methods sound very good. But if you let Hong'er do this, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to do it alone. ”

Yan Shifan blinked with one eye: "Then father, what do you mean?" ”

Yan Song said: "The old man wants to come, this time, why don't you just let Uncle Zhang be the main envoy, and Hong'er will be the deputy envoy for him." This is not in vain Xu Ge's hard preparation, and second, Hong'er, you can also have a good discussion with Uncle Zhang. In case something happens to it, with Uncle Zhang, Hong'er, the burden on your shoulders is lighter, and the two families of the DPRK and the Central Committee and Yan Xu share the advance and retreat, which is better than falling all on our heads. ”

When Yan Maoqing and Luo Longwen heard this, they all opened their mouths wide and were stunned. This is a big achievement, and there may be a lot of fat in the middle, but Yan Ge Lao actually gave it out and distributed half of it, maybe it's still more than half! What is this Nima called?

Yan Hong felt quite reasonable. The first time I went to Shandong to grab relatives, I also relied on Hai Rui to complete the disaster relief. The second time was nothing more than to use the emperor's holy decree to suppress the Buddha Lang Jiyi people, and the third time the original idea was just to go to Xuanda Mansion to find Yang Shun to share the spoils. It turned out to be much more difficult than expected. Now that we really want to open the sea, it is a real and constructive task, and it is not so fun. Besides, who is Zhang Juzheng? The reformer Da Niu, with him to do this matter of opening the sea, and to assist him from the side, it will be foolproof. He immediately said: "What Grandpa said is that if Mr. Zhang is the right envoy, the child is willing to help him." ”

Yan Song seemed to see that Yan Hong's move was very rare, and he nodded and said: "It is worthy of being the grandson of my Yan Mansion, young people are not arrogant, they can live under others, and they can know how to advance and retreat, which is very good!" Remember, you can go up only if you can go down, and you can go back to advance. So do it, when Ming'er went to Xiyuan, he told Xu Ge about it. ”

Yan Shifan's one-eyed eyes flashed: "Father, the matter of opening the sea, my Yan Mansion has been planning for several years, just saying that Hong'er went to the south of the Yangtze River twice, which time did not take a big risk?" Now that this errand is easily given to Xu Ge Lao's side, although it is a good alliance between the two families, there is no need to worry too much, but it should not be let go so easily. In the child's opinion, this matter still needs to be explained to Xu Ge. ”

Yan Song said: "Oh? East Building, how do you want to explain? ”

Yan Shifan smiled strangely and did not speak. Yan Hong didn't know why, he felt that the vest was a little numb. After hesitating for a moment, Yan Shifan said: "Since there are blessings to share, there are things that should be shared by everyone." (To be continued......)
