Five days later, Yang Qiaoyue and his entourage arrived at Suzhou Port, due to Emperor Xuande's previous series of strict measures to prohibit seaport trade, the prosperous port a few years ago has now become a bit depressed, and there are many fewer people and ships.

Yang Qiaoyue was surprised by the situation in front of her, and she never heard Miao Qiqi and Ah Ju mention it.

Ah Ju had already received a letter from Amei, knowing that the eldest girl was going to Suzhou almost today, so she waited at the port early in the morning.

Seeing them disembarking from the boat, he stepped forward: "Big girl! ”

Yang Qiaoyue went ashore and saw Ah Ju, and Miao Qiqi beside her was also there: "Miao Dangjia also came to pick us up in person." ”

Miao Qiqi smiled bitterly, "Idle is idle, you come from afar, I can't miss the friendship of the landlord." ”

Yang Qiaoyue saw her bitter face, and followed her words and asked, "Is something happening?" I see that there are a lot fewer ships in the harbor. ”

Miaokiki sighed, "Say as you go." ”

Yang Qiaoyue nodded casually, introduced Tu Tao to her, the two politely said hello, and several people went to Miao's house.

Along the way, Yang Qiaoyue learned that although the imperial court suppressed it, the port business was okay a few months ago, and then the government and the city suddenly banned many things that went to the maritime trade, and after several twists and turns, the canned fruit was retained, which was only exempted from moving out of her name.

Yang Qiaoyue frowned slightly, it stands to reason that Emperor Xuande has been implementing strict shipping for several years, and it has already been targeted, how can it start in a few months, and there must be demons when things go wrong.

"Where's my fourth brother? Didn't he ask what was going on? Yang Qiaoyue asked, turning her eyebrows into a dangerous arc, "Fourth brother won't show up once after I left, right?" ”

Miao Qiqi's expression flashed with a hint of panic, "No, no...... No...... The fourth brother came, but I didn't talk to him about it, for fear of distracting him. Recently, they have been doing a lot of things for maritime defense, and the training of sailors is a heavy task. ”

Yang Qiaoyue looked suspicious, why did Miao Qiqi look weird, she just asked about the fourth brother, why was she so nervous.

A few people said that they had come to Miao's house, Miao Qiqi arranged tea, and sat for a while before asking about Yang Qiaoyue's coming over this time.

Yang Qiaoyue told her in detail about this time, and told her that the imperial court was ready to vigorously develop shipping, and she hoped that the Miao family and the Tu family would cooperate, one side would ship and the other side would ship, and the other side would ship, and the strong cooperation would bring Dachu goods overseas.

Miao Qiqi is a mature businessman, and when she heard it, she knew that it was a profitable business, and she had always wanted to expand her overseas business, but due to the tightening of the imperial court and the difficulty of traveling at sea, she had not made progress.

"Tu Dong's ceramic business is my cooperation with him, and you are also cooperating here, there is no problem with everyone's trust, it just so happens that the control of the imperial court is loose, what do you think of this matter?"

"If this matter is okay with the imperial court, it will naturally be a great thing." Miao Qiqi immediately responded, and then revealed her worries, "It's just that at the moment, the Miao family has no helmsmen who have traveled overseas, it is difficult to sail far, and there are no special shipwrights for large ships." ”

"A great cause will never be smooth sailing, as long as you know where the problem is, there will always be a solution." Yang Qiaoyue didn't think this was a problem, "First of all, I have to visit the lord of the lower mansion to see why he issued so many bans." ”

"Just go straight to the government office?" Tu Tao couldn't help but interject, businessmen have always been two levels lower than officials, which seemed unthinkable to him.

"How else to get there?"

"You don't need to prepare some ......gold bars and silver or anything like that." Tu Tao coughed lightly and proposed.

Yang Qiaoyue understood his psychology, but she was not an ordinary businessman, and said with a smile: "He prepared me for almost the same!" ”

Tu Tao was stunned, this Yang Da girl is really domineering, she is still a good envoy when she comes out of Beijing, Miao Qiqi has seen Yang Qiaoyue's power here, and she has been affected by the evil anger of the government and the city office recently, just to see what they say.

"The prefect of the Suzhou Mansion is still surnamed Duan?" Yang Qiaoyue asked curiously.

Miao Qiqi replied: "Yes, someone from the imperial court came to check and took off his official hat, but it didn't take long for him to be reinstated. ”

Yang Qiaoyue frowned, to be able to reinstate a prefect must be the hands and feet of the Jingshi, thoughtfully, remembering someone, and immediately asked her: "Do you know Duan Xuanyi?" ”

Miao Qiqi thought for a while and had an impression of this person: "Is it Duan Tianba's brother?" ”

"Well, he was still in the Jingshi Mansion a few months ago, and he was a guest in the Hui'an Palace, and was later expelled from the Jingshi, and the matter in Suzhou is estimated to be related to him. There are not many people who can do the reinstatement of Lord Duan, and King Hui'an is counted as one. Yang Qiaoyue said slowly.

Miao Qiqi heard that the royal family was involved, and her heart was at a loss, "Then will we ask for trouble in the past?" ”

Tu Tao took the initiative to explain on the side: "Don't worry, Miao Dongjia, you may not know much about the affairs of the Jingshi Mansion, King Hui'an is the fourth highness, he secretly attacked the emperor and killed the eldest prince, and he has run away...... ”

"Tu Dongjia is cautious!" Yang Qiaoyue reminded, "How can we just leave the royal affairs in our mouths, just talk about it in the house, and don't mention it again when we go out." ”

Ordinary people are much less sensitive to government affairs, and if these words are heard by those who care about it, they may be able to gloat, and even if they are serious, they may even be labeled as accomplices.

Tu Tao looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, it's Lao Tu who said a lot." ”

Yang Qiaoyue let him have a good idea, and said to Miao Qiqi: "As Tu Dongjia said, it should be Duan Xuanyi who used the Jingshi to block this news, deceived Duan Governor's Mansion, cheated on food and drink, and took revenge on the Miao family by the way." ”

Miao Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's going to be easy." ”

Yang Qiaoyue had lunch at Miao's house, and in the afternoon, a few people went to visit the government and directly asked to see the prefect of Duan.

The officials outside the government saw that several people had a strong attitude, one of them was no stranger to them, he was the head of the Miao family in Suzhou, and he was obviously here to find fault, so he hurriedly went in to report.

Governor Duan did not show up, and directly asked Liao Zhutou to come forward to send him away, and the latter knew Yang Qiaoyue, "Miss Yang? ”

"Liao catches the head." Yang Qiaoyue said with a smile, "It seems that I have to trouble you to go in and report it again." ”

Liao Zhutou knew that Yang Qiaoyue was the eldest daughter of the current Jingshi Mansion Yin, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately went in to report again.

Seeing this, the two officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, they were not arrogant just now, and even Liao Zhutou didn't dare to say anything, how could they afford to offend.

After a while, the pot-bellied Duan prefect came out of the mansion, his attitude was quite passable, but he was not too friendly, he was almost taken down last time because of Yang Qiaoyue.

"Miss Yang doesn't know why she has to see me, the prefect of Suzhou."

Yang Qiaoyue didn't care: "Come and send you a big gift, don't worry, I won't trouble adults this time, does Lord Duan want me to say it here?" ”

Governor Duan's face was gloomy, and he didn't know what she was going to say, and there were still officials and Liao Zhutou, so he could only ask them to go to the back office to talk.

Tu Tao couldn't help but praise it secretly in his heart, this time he directly pinched the other party back and forth, and couldn't help but admire.

"Miss Yang, please speak."

Yang Qiaoyue took out the documents and special instructions of the Jingshi Mansion and told him that the Jingshi would use Suzhou Port and Hejian as a pilot to reopen the maritime trade, and came to discuss with him the ban on Miaojia's shipping some time ago.

Governor Duan took these things and glanced at them, and threw them to Yang Qiaoyue: "The imperial court has not issued such an official document, if there is an official document, the government will naturally act in accordance with the imperial court decree." ”

"It seems that the adults are very grateful, and they should repay the favor to the people who helped you restore your official position, but don't worship the wrong dock and let people be monkeys." Yang Qiaoyue didn't pay attention to his words, and put away the documents and deeds.

"What do you mean!" Governor Duan's brows furrowed.

"For the sake of acquaintances, let's say a few more words, if I am an adult, I will have a good understanding of the situation in Jingshi, the dock is still not there, why did the people from Jingshi leave Jingshi, maybe there will be a surprise."

After Yang Qiaoyue finished speaking, several people left the mansion, and she thought that Chu Yechen should be able to issue the official document.

Duan Zhifu looked at Yang Qiaoyue's figure leaving, and was threatened by a stinky girl, so angry that he smashed the cup on the ground.

Anger to anger, immediately asked people to ask the people who came from the Jingshi Mansion during this time to find out what happened to the Jingshi Mansion.

After a few people left the mansion, Tu Tao said worriedly: "Miss Yang, is this all right?" I see that Governor Duan is very angry. ”

"Don't worry, if he is a smart person, he will check it himself, and then he will thank me." Yang Qiaoyue smiled confidently.

Miao Qiqi and Tu Tao looked at each other, half-convinced.

That night, Duan Zhifu learned something about the Four Princes, and immediately called Duan Xuanyi to question, and after several inquiries, he learned that he was expelled from the Beijing Division by the imperial court, and he did not know about the Four Princes, and he had already left the Beijing Division at that time.

Duan Zhifu remembered Yang Qiaoyue's words today, obviously got corroboration, and was so angry that he blasted Duan Xuanyi out of the house overnight, he thought that the fourth prince asked him to come to Suzhou to have some arrangements, eat and drink well, and help deal with the Miao family, which offended Yang Qiaoyue again.

"Liao Zhutou, you go to Miaojia for the mansion, and tell Miss Yang that the official is lazy today due to trivial matters, so that they must come to the mansion tomorrow to talk about the trade at the port, and the government and the state government will definitely give full support!" Governor Duan's forehead was sweating, and his voice was hurried.

Liao Zhutou responded, went to Miao's house, and conveyed the words of the prefect Duan.

Yang Qiaoyue responded, and waited for Liao Zhutou to leave before slowly saying: "The efficiency is faster than I thought." ”

Tu Tao can be regarded as having opened his eyes, he is simply strategizing, every step is accurate and calm.

Miao Qiqi also sighed, such a tricky matter, a few words, let the government admit it in less than half a day, it is really ashamed.

Yang Qiaoyue was a little uncomfortable by the two of them, and coughed lightly: "It's not that powerful, it's mainly because the fox is fake and the tiger is ......." ”

As soon as the words fell, before the two people on the other side could talk, an abrupt voice came from outside the door.

"Kiki! I heard that the prefect was embarrassed by you, so I hurried through the training as soon as I got it...... Come. ”

Miao Qiqi's cheeks turned red when she heard the sound, and she hurriedly got up and wanted to go out to block it, but unfortunately she was a step too late, and the man had already come in.

Yang Qiaoyue also saw the person clearly, her eyes widened, and she immediately laughed jokingly: "Fourth brother! It seems that you don't want the seventh sister at all? ”
