Yan Hong was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in his heart: If this matter is successful, I will be the first to take credit for this merit. At that moment, he said: "Since this is the case, then I will pay tribute to the good news of the old shipowner." If you have any difficulties, just say them, and I will do my best to solve them for you. ”

Hu Zongxian also said: "Yes, although I can't allocate the generals, if there are any difficulties in equipment, money and food, you just have to say it, and I will find a way to raise some for you." ”

Wang Zhi just couldn't help but thank him, and then several people talked about opening the sea trade. Wang Zhi has been entrenched at sea for many years, and he is most familiar with trade matters. Therefore, it is the first thing to say, what goods are popular in Daming, and what things should be exchanged for back, and explain in detail one by one. and all the connections he has accumulated over the years have been revealed.

If this information is measured by money, I am afraid that ten thousand taels of silver will not be able to buy it, Wang Zhi even promised that after he returned, he would order someone to send the charts he had drawn over the years. With a clear route, supplies along the way can also be marked, which can save countless energy and reduce many lives.

As for the question of how to collect taxes, Yan Hong made a package ticket and told Wang Zhi to collect it according to the agreement of the imperial court. Those who dare not pay taxes will be taught a hard lesson. In addition to handing over the tax revenue to the state treasury, a part of the tax collected can also be used as the maintenance capital of Wang Zhi's own team. As long as the numbers are right, there's nothing wrong with that.

A few people talked about entering the port, taking advantage of the wine, Yan Hong said: "Old ship owner, if this sea is opened, it can make my Ming country rich and strong, I will guarantee you a three-product comfort, it will not be a problem." ”

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves and disembarked to their respective homes. Xu Wenchang waited until he got into the carriage with Hu Zongxian. Only then did he say to Hu Zongxian: "Dong Weng." Wang Zhi is known as the King of Hui and is a hero of the world. This time he suffered so much in Hangzhou, but he showed no guilt, and the students were only afraid that he had other plans, and he had to be more vigilant. ”

Hu Zongxian said with a smile: "Mr. Qingteng is really the Zhuge of the world, Kong Ming is cautious in using soldiers, but he has learned completely." Don't worry, Wang Wufeng is just a sea of cowards. What can you do? Chen Dong, Ye Ma, and Xin Wulang have tens of thousands of allied troops left, can he not be afraid? It's what he had in mind, and now that he sees that my court is strong and strong, he has no thoughts. Besides, it is difficult to feed the army in Yizhou, and his military food is inseparable from Zhejiang and direct supply, what is the repetition, I directly cut off his grain to see what he can do? Don't worry, Wang Wufeng has great ability. This time I can only be a pawn and let me dispatch him. I'm a little worried about his taxes. I don't know how many powerful people I will offend, but I hope that Mr. Qingteng will try to resist me when the time comes. ”

Although Xu Wenchang is not as optimistic as Hu Zongxian, he can't think of any words to admonish. After all, it is just a speculation and analysis, and there is no evidence to support it, so I have to give up.

Yan Hong returned home by carriage, Geng Jinling and Hua Yuexian were very jealous when they saw another beautiful woman in Xingyuan, but they were happy again when they saw that the old man still came to him. Yan Hong said to Hua Yuexian: "Yuexian, you go back and take five hundred taels of silver, and give it to the Sai Zhaojun who just came, along with the deed, and tell her that my lord I won't keep her here, let her find a livelihood by herself." If you want to find Wang Bengu, I'll open the way for her. ”

Hua Yuexian was overjoyed when she heard this, "The master is really a good person, he spent five hundred taels of silver, and he still refused to kiss Fang Ze." This Sai Zhaojun has also accumulated blessings for several lifetimes before he met such a gentleman as the master. ”

Unexpectedly, the next day, this Sai Zhaojun refused to leave, only knelt in front of the door and said: "The concubine knows that she is from a low background and is not worthy of the eldest master, but she became an inferior servant, so she also admitted it." I only ask the master to leave the concubine and serve the left and right, and the concubine will never dare to have the slightest thought. ”

She was born in the market, and although her knowledge is mediocre, she is very aware of the dangers of the rivers and lakes. Since Wang Zhi is determined to take revenge on himself, only this Qin Errand is safe. Otherwise, if you go out with your front feet, and your back feet are put on the sea with a sack, it is still a situation where the heavens should not be and the earth is not spiritual. Looking for Wang Bengu in Jiangxi? Slowly saying that he abandoned himself as if he abandoned his contempt, it was his own appearance, and he was afraid that he would be sold to a brothel or taken captive to be a village.

Therefore, she gritted her teeth and would rather die than leave, but she had no choice but to let Yan Hong stay. As for what kind of work to do, Qin Cha Xingyuan has so many subordinates, how can she really use her to work? It's just a matter of raising more idlers. When Sai Zhaojun was safe, he thought that his appearance might not be lost to the two people in the house, so he didn't believe that this cat was not stealing, and sooner or later he would be able to catch him.

At this time, in a mansion in the northwest of Hangzhou, the six famous families of Pan, Xu, Zhang, Shen, Lian, and Song in Hangzhou, each eldest brother, and the people who have the final say in each house in the clan all gather here. Among the six families, now headed by Pan Qide, the patriarch of the Pan family, he served as the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials in the court, and everyone called him an old heavenly official in order to respect him.

On weekdays, this old heavenly official is also a powerful person, but today, he is sad, his face is gloomy, and his expression is not a little lighter than that of other people. Yan Hong showed his strength in the south of the Yangtze River, and the wealthy businessmen were in danger, and they were afraid that this unscrupulous man would use that scoundrel means to hurt money and people.

Shen Tianpeng, the eldest of the Shen family, said: "Old Pan, now everyone in each family is here, I just ask you to get a charter, you are our old-timer, there are many methods, and we have a wide range of ideas, we can all rely on you." ”|

Pan Qide said: "Rely on me? This is so lightweight, the old man also wants to find someone to lean on, where to find it? We don't have outsiders here, let's be honest, who in each family doesn't have a deadly handle in Wang Zhi's hands, he has suffered such a big loss, how can he not retaliate? Now that he is recruiting on his side, if he wants to curry favor with the court, Hu Zongxian, and Yan Hong, he will bring out these crimes...... That Yan Hong is known as the little king of Yama, in order to kill Wang Zhi before, we gave him a lot of medicine, if he wants to retaliate, do we still have a way to live? ”

Shen Tianpeng gritted his teeth and said: "Since this is the case, just don't do it, and don't stop it." A few of us who haven't believed in the dead soldiers, so they just started to make Wang Zhi ......"

Before he finished speaking, his father Shen Qingshan got up and raised his hand to give him two big slaps: "Presumptuous!" Monkey business! When you are at sea, you can cut whoever you want? This is in Hangzhou, there are standard battalions in the city, Zhejiang soldiers, and Min Yong! These troops, our hands have not reached in, as long as Yan Hong says a word, in less than half an hour, we will all die and there will be no one left, the strength at hand, is it comparable to the Zhejiang soldiers, or can it be beaten to win the standard battalion? ”

Song Jue, the head of the Song family, said: "Why don't we start it and the mechanics stop weaving?" Or connect those Hui salt merchants and let them strike. If you can arrest Wang Zhi again......"

Pan Qide snorted: "Song Jue, shut your mouth!" If these tricks had worked, they would have been used by Wang Zhi when he was in prison! Pardoning Wang Zhi is the will of Long Live Will, do you still want the officials in Hangzhou to resist the will? This is a holy decree, not a middle decree, who dares to resist? Strike? Let me tell you, I inquired a long time ago, Yan Hongna has prepared a hundred pairs of iron armor, as well as a number of military flags and trumpet flags, just waiting for us. Whoever dares to take the lead in organizing a strike and a boycott of the market, he will take the brocade guards to throw twenty pairs of iron armor at whom's house, plus dozens of military flags, and when the time comes, he will directly raid the house according to the crime of rebellion! You have lived enough, the old man has not lived enough, I can't do this kind of thing, and no one has done it for my Pan family. ”

Shen Qingshan said: "Pan Weng, this can't be done, that's not possible, but you have to find a way to live." Could it be that everyone can only wait for death behind closed doors? Or do you want to learn from Li Wenzao, abandon your family property, and run away? ”

Pan Qide said: "Escape? Where can he flee? In my opinion, now he is a turtle in an urn, and there is nowhere to escape, only to see when to take him. As for the way, it's not nothing, think about it, or come down. Go and stuff some good in front of the Chin Cha, and avoid these previous deadly sins. Wang Zhi is such a sin that the heavens, long live the lord has issued a decree to forgive it. ”

As soon as the words of surrender were spoken, all those present were speechless. They don't mind surrendering, and the bones of the famous family are not very hard. But the question is, what is the price to pay if you surrender? And most crucially, who will pay the price? Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, all silent.

Seeing the faces of these people, Pan Qide also knew their thoughts, and said to himself: "The old man has prepared four gifts for Qincha, a pair of genuine works of Song Huizong, a land deed of 2,000 acres of high-quality fertile land, a contract for eighteen shops, and Shu'er's Geng sticker. ”

When Shen Tianpeng heard this, he immediately said: "Pan Weng must not!" Shumei is your granddaughter, how can she fall into the hands of that dog thief. That thief is lustful and excessive, and he is dedicated to tarnishing the name of a good woman, how can you send Shumei into the tiger's mouth! Besides, if she is a concubine with Yan Hong, the faces of our families will be lost. Now that things have not reached the point of no return, we can still go to the Beijing Division to walk around the joints, and maybe there will be a turnaround. ”

Pan Qide also knew that Shen Tianpeng and his granddaughter were in love, and he was not surprised to see him jump out. He just snorted: "Brother Shen, please restrain your son, is it the granddaughter of the old man, the old man still can't be the master?" Joint? Now that the two Yan and Xu families have heard that they are going to get married, this time the opening of the sea and trade is the joint promotion of the two families, you can talk about it, what other joints can be walked? As for being a concubine, the old man doesn't dare to have this extravagant hope, he just looks forward to the joy of the Qincha that Shu'er's girl can please, and he will talk to the Qincha for a few days to ask for some poetry and articles. ”

Shen Tianpeng listened to Pan Qide's meaning, and turned out to let his sister Shu'er not even have a name, but just went to secretly fornicate, only to feel stuffy in his chest, almost spurting blood. But he couldn't let his lover fall into the fire pit no matter what, he gritted his teeth, shook off his father's hand and said: "My Shen family will pay 3,000 salt to replace Shu'er's sister's Geng sticker, please Pan Weng must take back his life."
