It didn't take much effort, Ye Yongjia took over the power of the Financing Division, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty knew about it. Without the surveillance of outsiders, he can finally concentrate on planning negotiations.

Of course, the most important thing to solve in front of him was the matter between Ge and Zeng, so he hurriedly wrote a document and ordered the two to stop arguing. As he expected, these two people did not obey the order at all, they did not give up, and they wrote one after another to ask for the revocation of authority, but Ye Yongjia was quite surprised, he had not experienced such a smooth taste for a long time.

But for the sake of prudence, he still kept the book for a few days, pretending to be Lu Zhixian's usual hesitation, and replied in the tone of Chen Dang: "The order of the court cannot be changed lightly, and you and the two of you are so stubborn, I have no choice but to do this on my behalf." Reading the documents entered by the Zeng Gong, knowing that the people want to make friends, it is very persuasive, and this policy should be carried out: 1. Send officials to invite the merchants to the county government for an interview, and see that their status is low, and the people with young qualifications will be of great use if they bribe gold and silver heavily, and win their hearts; ’

At this point, Ye Yongjia suddenly stopped writing, and after two lines, he wrote: 'Second, the merchant is greedy for profit, and he should secretly promise privileges before making a contract to make him satisfied. The negotiation was originally initiated by the Ye thief, which could make the military department concede a little benefit, and hand over the establishment of regulations, the purchase of materials and other matters to the Fanren to host, so that the Ye thief had nowhere to interfere and could not make meritorious contributions; If those people are greedy for money and food, they can also be used as a lever to ask Ye Dang's sin, which is a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone. However, this plan cannot be passed on, and it will be cut off after reading and burned. ’

Cai Xianqing watched him finish writing the last word, and couldn't help but laugh happily: "You are out of the way, in order to learn the tone of the Chen Party, you don't hesitate to call yourself a thief and give them advice!" But it's a risky strategy, and if they do, we're afraid we won't be able to handle it. ”

Ye Yongjia patted his knees and said with a faint smile: "Don't worry about Old Cai, how can I be kind enough to plan for them!" If they do so, they will fall into my trap. ”

"That's it...... Why? ”

"In the government and the opposition, only I trust the bearded man the most, and even if he has these rights, he will not part ways with me because of this. As for money and silver, he will definitely be greedy, but as long as I don't have anything to do with those dirty money, Chen Dang has no reason to ask me about Xingshi, not to mention how many years he has been a businessman, he is meticulous, and secrecy is definitely not a problem. ”

Cai Xianqing did not change his previous caution, frowned, and said in a very serious tone: "You seem to think about the problem too simply, some things are not what we can expect, don't forget how many accidents we have had along the way." ”

Ye Yongjia still smiled helplessly: "Then this is also the day to kill me." In this case, if I had negotiated in person, I would have ceded such power. For the sake of you and my new deal, sometimes we have to make trade-offs. ”

"Okay," Cai Xianqing shrugged his eyebrows, "I am willing to listen to your opinion." But the New Deal is by no means 'you and me', but the people of the world, don't make it into wishful thinking on the part of the two of us, just self-absorbed. ”

Who knew that Ye Yongjia shook his head dejectedly: "Maybe...... It's almost there. ”

Cai Xianqing didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't want to ask him to explain, so he just looked at each other silently for a while.

Zeng Liang took the document sent by the Financing Department and looked at it, and he felt that there was something strange in it, and concluded that it was not written by Lu Zhixian. But he didn't expect that Ye Dang would intervene in the middle, but thought it was the idea of Comrade Chen, so he didn't dare to disobey it, and acted according to the instructions in the letter one by one.

Ye Yongjia's method really worked, and within two days, several merchants were already convinced, no longer hostile to the imperial court, and persuaded the beard to make a contract as soon as possible, so as to be friendly. But Luo Huhu was not idle, he had already set up a line with Zeng Liang in secret, discussing the exchange of interests.

Limited to the instructions of his boss, Zeng Shangshu had to retract his previous thoughts, which made him extremely melancholy, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was still room for manipulation, so he calmly said to him: "Our court has given you such benefits, and you should also help." After all, the state is not sufficient, and adding this amount of money will make it even worse. ”

How did Fanshang not understand his intentions, and put on a smile on his face: "You say that the grass people are going to the soup and the fire, and they will not give up!" ”

"Alas, it's not a big deal, so why bother talking so seriously," Zeng Liang hurriedly persuaded, "just if you hand over all the documents, especially the accounts of money and silver, to the Accounts Department when you are an assistant to run the factory, on the grounds that you need to write off the expenses." In return, I'll keep some things strictly confidential. ”

When the bearded man heard this, he was so overjoyed that he forgot the etiquette of the Central Plains and stretched out his hand: "In the lower ...... Will do so. ”

Zeng Liang also smiled rarely, and shook hands with him very cooperatively.

Within a few days, Ye Yongjia, who had been waiting for a long time, finally ushered in good news - Zeng and Ge returned to Beijing with the signed contract, so that the negotiation ended smoothly. He finally had no worries, and his whole body revealed lightness, so that he was swept away by exhaustion, and immediately devoted himself to the affairs of building a military factory with Cai Xianqing and others, busy selecting personnel, inspecting the terrain, etc., and ordered all places to increase tension. In the past few months, from the border to the interior, the rapid momentum of the new policy can no longer be suppressed, and there is a scene of prosperity everywhere.

Dong Sheng also settled the sergeants, step by step to open the road, build the castle, the captives did not care at first, but with the passage of time, gradually found that the southern fortress was almost connected to each other, end to end, the defense line became as solid as iron - but the end of such a huge project was already three years later.

"Brother Cui, why didn't you go?"

Cui Yi was sitting in the back room of the guest hall, facing a smooth mirror, untying the mourning clothes on the house, when he suddenly heard a 'squeak' at the door, and several rays of light came in from behind, hitting the mirror, reflecting his pure white face. Compared with three years ago, there are not many changes, but there are a few more traces of vicissitudes, and he seems more sophisticated, more like a bureaucrat who has made sufficient preparations to take up his post in the yamen.

"Brother Xian, where did you tell me to go?" He withdrew his hands and half draped his mourning clothes over his shoulders.

"It's weird. Don't know anything about your own family? Your sister is not getting married today, Lord Ye has already invited the blowing, and it is almost there. ”

"Oh, that's it," Cui Yi raised a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said seriously, "Sister really found a good family." I finished worshipping my father and went immediately. ”

"You have to take me with me, let me see the grandeur of the military department!"

"It's nature." Cui Yi held the mourning clothes in his hands and threw them on the wooden hanger.
