What is Pei Yan, who is worried about by Yu Tang, doing?

He was twisting a string of purple purlin eighteen Buddha beads in his hand, leaning on the big pillow of the Luohan bed, listening to the people of the Wu and Peng families fighting each other there.

Tao Qing sat at the bottom of Pei Yan, lowered his eyelids when he saw this scene, and whispered to Pei Yan: "What do you mean?" You give me the answer, and I'll know what to say later. ”

The corners of Pei Yan's mouth curled when he heard this, and he replied to Tao Qing in the same low voice: "What can I do?" This is not our Pei family's business! Of course, if someone thinks that this is our family's business, it's okay, everyone will go back, if there is anything, our Pei family will take care of it, and our Pei family will never say anything. ”

"What do you mean by that?!" Tao Qing was not happy to hear it, and said, "Under the nest, there are eggs." How can you say such a thing now that we are coming together to get through this together? If I had known you had this attitude, I wouldn't have come. Anyway, whether to abolish the city of Ningbo and Quanzhou has nothing to do with our Tao family? If you want to be in a hurry, it's not that I'm in a hurry. ”

Pei Yan pursed his lips and found that the hall that was originally like a vegetable market suddenly quieted down, and his breathing could be faintly heard. Pei Yan couldn't help but look around, only to find that he didn't know when, everyone was sitting there quietly looking at him, waiting for him to speak and make up his mind.

When did he become so important?

Or did these Jiangnan families suddenly find that he still has some effect?

Pei Yan sneered twice in his heart, but his face was not revealed, and he still said with a cold expression: "If you have any other ideas, let's say them together!" lest you talk behind your back, complain, or do tricks. ”

Tao Qing agreed with his point of view, and then said: "Out of this house, everyone must be unanimous and work together, if there is any objection or dissatisfaction, let me endure and hide, and wait until this crisis is over." ”

Master Peng listened and his heartstrings relaxed.

There is nothing to worry about when the three princes accumulate wealth in Jiangnan. Those who do this have only two purposes. The first is to use this to attack the three princes, and the second is to use this reason to loot again. Whether it's the former or the latter, it's just a matter of extra money for them. But if someone uses this as an excuse and thinks that the business of the Jiangnan family is too big and suggests closing the trade wharf, then it will be troublesome. It is good to say that Guangzhou has always been the most important trade port, but Ningbo and Quanzhou are not necessarily. Fujian and Zhejiang are rampant, now more and more rampant, sometimes will go ashore to burn and plunder, many people think that these Japanese bandits have been repeatedly suppressed, it is because there are those commercial ships to give them cover, it is difficult to distinguish which are the Japanese robbers, which are the boatmen, the best way is to clear the wilderness, close the Ningbo and Quanzhou city divisions, and ban the sea. Moreover, such a decree was also tried in the previous dynasty and at the beginning of the founding of the current dynasty, and there were indeed a lot fewer Japanese coordinates.

The Peng family and the Song family either relied on the wharf in Quanzhou or the wharf in Ningbo to do maritime business, if the two city companies were withdrawn, it would be a fatal blow to their business, but for the Tao family, occupying the geographical location of Guangzhou, the business could go to a higher level.

He wanted Tao Qing to mistakenly think that this time the imperial court was actually targeting not only the big families in Jiangnan, but the wealth in their hands, and dealing with the Pei family was just an excuse for the imperial court to take advantage of them. In this way, he could take this opportunity to let the Tao family open the dock in Guangzhou to them, the Jiangnan family.

And Tao Qing really fell for his plan and agreed to advance and retreat with them.

He took a sip of tea with satisfaction, feeling that Tao Qing was still a little tender, too emotional, and the Tao family was at most like this.

It's a pity for this dock in Guangzhou!

Master Peng was thinking in his heart whether he could marry the Tao family or something, and then slowly brought the Peng family's business to Guangzhou through this relationship.

Over there, Master Song Si couldn't hide the joy in his heart.

He knew that the Pei family was powerful, but it was in the hands of Mrs. Pei, and now Pei Yan, everything is in accordance with the rules left by Mrs. Pei in the past, and he does not show any extraordinary ability. Now that the Tao family and the Pei family are standing together, with Tao Qing's ability, he will definitely be able to take them through this difficulty.

Fourth Master Song was suddenly full of confidence, and was the first to stand up and say: "Brother Tao, don't worry, we can't control others, but our Song family must advance and retreat together with everyone, if you have anything to say, say it now, go out of this hall, and never complain." If I'm going to speak too straight later, I'll ask for your patience here! After speaking, he thought he was humorous and waved at everyone.

Master Wu endured it so that he didn't snort.

This idiot, I don't know how to become the suzerain of the Song family, the Song family is also a big business, and he has not lost his life by tossing so much, which is really eye-catching.

He thought and glanced at Pei Yan.

In the somewhat dimly lit hall, the white ground is glowing, handsome and suffocating, and he also holds the wealth and connections that the Pei family has built up after several generations of struggle, how can it not make people jealous?

If there is such an uncle, their martial arts family doesn't know how much benefit they can get?

Especially since he watched the Song family and the Peng family start to build a ship, what a domineering family the Peng family is, and they were forced to lose their temper by the Pei family who supported the Song family, it can be seen that the Pei family is fully capable of building ships and doing maritime business, why don't they do it? Is it because you are afraid that there will be so much money that people will be red-eyed and take their home under the knife?

How much business does the Pei family have?

Master Wu touched his chin, feeling that the Wu family wanted to marry the Pei family, and he had to go out in person. As long as the Wu family and the Pei family also become in-laws, at least he will be sure to let the Song family watch the water surface from Taihu Lake to Suzhou.

Master Wu pondered in his heart, and decided to speak last and listen to what other people had to say.

Master Peng didn't take the martial arts family in his eyes at all, the upstart for a while still relied on Jiang Hua to shake up in the past two years, and the people of the martial arts family listened to them, it should have been like this, so he didn't pay attention to the martial family, but said directly to Pei Yan: "What does Gu Chaoyang mean?" Could it be that the Gu family is not a Jiangnan family, he was actually ordered to come to Jiangnan Province to investigate the case of the three princes, what did he want to do? What does Gu family mean? Didn't he come to visit you first as soon as he came to Jiangnan? ”

He asked Pei Yan.

Although the Gu family is a big surname in Hangzhou, a generation of official eunuchs, and a family of cultivators, they have been defeated badly in recent years. There are few officials in the family who have passed the fourth grade, let alone general affairs. In the eyes of the Peng family, it is barely able to make a living, and there is no need for such occasions.

The Pei family just married the Gu family, and the girl of the Gu family married the eldest grandson of the Pei family.

Pei Yan once again felt the trouble of marrying the Gu family.

He said lightly: "Gu Chaoyang is better to be the imperial history, Master Peng, you also said that their Gu family is also a Jiangnan family, it is impossible for him to do that kind of thing to forget his ancestors, unless he doesn't want the Gu family to stay in Jiangnan." Speaking of which, we got together this time, although it was sponsored by our Pei family, but it was the meaning of the Peng family, I just want to ask, are we going to solve the case of the three princes first? Or do you want to settle the matter of abolishing the city first? It just so happens that Gu Chaoyang is also here, if necessary, let him come over and talk. Brainstorm ideas! ”

Master Song Si felt good: "People are afraid of meeting." It's better to meet and talk about something! ”

He didn't believe that Gu Chaoyang dared to make a decision that was unfavorable to the Jiangnan family in front of everyone.

Master Peng despised Fourth Master Song in his heart.

Even Gu Chaoyang, who has just entered his career, is afraid, what can he do?

When he knew that he was such a coward, he built a ship with the samurai.

It's too late to regret it now!

"Then please ask Gu Chaoyang to come over and talk." Tao Qing immediately decided, "If you have anything to say in person, it's better than guessing behind your back." ”

Pei Yan doesn't care.

Gu Chaoyang came to him to talk to him about Miss Gu and Pei Tong's marriage. He may not be very optimistic about this family business, and wants to support Miss Gu, so he took the initiative to explain his intentions and asked him if he wanted to help.

Then give him a field and let him play well.

He called out to Pei Qi, who was guarding the door, and asked him to invite someone.

Pei Qi left in response.

Master Wu talked to Pei Yan about Mrs. Pei: "You're going to take off in September, right?" Taihu Lake is a little far from here, you can send me a letter in advance, and come to pay homage to his old man when the time comes. ”

Because of the high seniority of Pei Laoan, Master Wu and Master Song Si are called brothers, and from the side of the Song family, Pei Laoan can barely be called the elders of Master Wu. But there are many marriages in Jiangnan families, and there are also aunts and nephews who become concubines, and climbing relatives has always been counted from the man.

Pei Yan had a close relationship with Jiang Hua for a while, and he knew very well about the methods of flattering people in the martial family, so he treated the people of the martial family politely with a little alienation, and said with a smile: "I will definitely tell you in advance when the time comes." ”

Master Wu then talked about the business at sea: "The ship has been launched and tried, and it feels pretty good." Originally, I was thinking of going to sea from Ningbo, but if the city of Ningbo was closed, wouldn't our ship have to be towed to Guangzhou? That's a big loss. As he spoke, he smiled bitterly.

Pei Yan disagreed.

The samurai family still has luck!

You can't walk from the sea, you can't walk the Grand Canal, you can take a detour to the river.

Master Peng, who had been listening to them with his ears, immediately said, "How is the Caoyun business this year?" I heard that the two lakes are not harvested, where did the salt lead to go? ”

Master Wu didn't want to talk more about his housekeeping industry, and he didn't say a word or two for a long time with Master Peng.

Fortunately, Gu Chaoyang came, so that the two had no time to meet each other.

Gu Chaoyang told everyone that Wang Qibao, the eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, also came over: "It was with Wei Sanfu who came, Wei Sanfu was in the light, and he was in the dark." I don't know where Wang Qibao has gone now. ”

Everyone looked at each other for a while.

Wei Sanfu is a eunuch with a head and a face, and he has won the trust of the emperor, otherwise he would not have been sent to Jiangnan. But this Wang Qibao is the emperor's companion when he was in the palace, a real confidant, and the boss of the twenty-four yamen, who can easily leave the capital.

He also came with him this time, I'm afraid it's not just the case of the Three Princes!

You must know that the third prince grew up on Wang Qibao's back when he was a child, and Wei Sanfu is said to have been very close to the second prince in private.

Old Man Peng's head hurts.

He is not afraid that these princes will ask him for money, he is afraid that these princes will force them to take sides.
