Shen Shikui was uneasy in his heart, and waited for a while before finally waiting for Yang Chengying back.

But as soon as he came back, he first went to take a shower and change his clothes.

Next, have breakfast.

Yang Chengying asked him if he wanted to eat together.

His answer had already been used at home.

Yang Chengying didn't ask again.

After breakfast, I met Shen Shikui again.

"You've seen the ledger and should have a basic understanding of the trade routes."

Yang Chengying smiled: "Is there something I can't understand?" ”

"Well...... Hey...... It's a little. ”

Through the account book, Shen Shikui found that the eighteen-year-old young man in front of him was definitely a master who was even more bold and black-hearted than him.

There were a few accounts that even he couldn't figure out.

"If you have any questions, just ask." Yang Chengying encouraged.

Shen Shikui took a deep breath before asking, "My subordinates don't understand, the Wa Kingdom actually has trade contacts with the general, and he gave so much silver for free, why?" ”

Since the Wanli period broke out two major wars with the Wa Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty has broken off contact with the Wa State.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chengying was bold enough to trade with the Japanese state in private.

And it doesn't look low.

"Of course, this is the handle that I hold the Tsushima clan of the Wakoku Kingdom."

Yang Chengying's answer was straightforward.

"Oh." Shen Shikui had no intention of continuing to ask.

It involves confidentiality and is inconvenient to inquire about.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chengying continued: "The Wa Kingdom wants to resume trade with Chaoxian, and the Zong family has been a competent daughter-in-law in the middle, and she has hidden it from both ends. ”

Subsequently, he told Shen Shikui what happened in detail here.

Shen Shikui was taken aback after hearing this.

The Zong clan is also bold and black-hearted, and plays the shogunate and the court around. If it weren't for the general saying this, he wouldn't have figured it out.

Who would have thought that they would dare to forge national credentials. Even if the envoys of the two sides met, they used the identity of the interpreter to change the words of the two sides without permission.

With these merits in front of the shogunate, he monopolized trade with Korea.

"The Zong clan was afraid that I would tell the mystery of this, and I felt that I couldn't beat me, so I had to choose to spend money to eliminate the disaster." Yang Chengying said with a smile.

"The general observed the subtleties and found the mystery, which is really powerful!"

Shen Shikui hurriedly took a rainbow fart.

Yang Chengying raised his hand to stop him: "It's not important. The important thing is that you don't talk about it when you trade with the clan of Tsushima in the future. ”

"My subordinates won't say it."

Shen Shikui hurriedly assured.

Yang Chengying nodded, "Of course I can trust you, otherwise I wouldn't have said this to you." ”

Next, there is trade with North Korea.

"King Xian always gives me a feeling that I can't do it for a long time."

Yang Chengying instructed: "You go to Chaoxian, if Li Erzhan asks you for help, you must not say anything to death, just say that you will tell me, and wait for me to decide." ”

"Will the general help him?"

Shen Shikui felt that it was unlikely, there was no use value, what did he do for him.

But he still has to ask, and he has a good bottom in his heart.

"Absolutely."

Yang Chengying's answer is yes, "There are many factions within Chaoxian, and if I keep him, it is equivalent to keeping a nail, and I have been wedged inside Chaoxian." ”

"So his subordinates still have to be kind to him and give him faith?"

The answer he got was unexpected, which made Shen Shikui a little confused.

"No, you have to keep your distance from him."

Yang Chengying said: "In case we don't keep him, we can't let him deteriorate the relationship with other powerful ministers of the court."

If we succeed in keeping him, will he still be more distant? ”

Shen Shikui suddenly realized.

He pondered the taste, and had to admire Yang Chengying's foresight, and thought of everything.

"You go to Chaoxian this time, trade is secondary, I need you to go to the north of Chaoxian to contact the rebels." Yang Chengying commanded again.

"The first-tier trade is the same as before, or is there a change?"

Shen Shikui hurriedly asked.

"No," Yang Chengying shook his head and said, "This is not the focus of your trip, but there is another important matter that you need to do." ”

"Command, General."

As soon as he heard that he was going to be assigned an important errand, Shen Shikui immediately cheered up his spirit.

Yang Chengying said: "Many people have fled to the border, you have to contact them, and by the way, ask them if they are willing to come to Jinzhou."

That's the real purpose of this trip. ”

Shen Shikui was surprised: "Trade is just a front? ”

"That's right! I have only one target, the displaced people. ”

With the conquest of the border led by Huang Taiji and Liu Xingzuo and Li Yongfang, many Ming people fled to the border of Chaoxian and lived a very miserable life.

Yang Cheng should have known this, although he couldn't bear it, he couldn't help.

I couldn't get out of my body before, and I couldn't run a trip to Chaoxian in person.

More importantly, there is the issue of resettlement that has been transported.

At that time, except for the generals who led the troops to fight, there were few decent civilian officials under him, and he could not do a good job of appeasement.

Now it's different, Yang Chengying has Fan Wencheng, Bao Chengxian and other all-round talents in civil and military affairs.

and let Shen Shikui contact these people in the name of business.

"If they want to, you tell them."

Yang Chengying said: "I will settle them on the island in the south of Jinzhou, and at the same time send an official to manage them and transport grain to them." ”

Managing these people is a great job, and we must send a capable man.

Shen Shikui's mind was lively, if he did a good job this time, could he ask the general to send me this errand as well?

He prefers to manage places rather than trade.

"Shen Shikui!"

This sound pulled Shen Shikui back from his dream.

"General, my subordinates remember."

Yang Chengying looked at him: "What are you thinking?" ”

"No, my subordinates didn't think about anything." Shen Shikui said weakly.

"Remember, it's a little bit more secretive. If the slaves were to find out, they were likely to cross the border to kill people, which would harm them. ”

"Yes, keep in mind the subordinates."

"Go back and rest, and leave the day after tomorrow."

Yang Cheng ordered Gongsun Sheng to bring over a burden, "This is a token for joints, how to use it, I will let Gongsun Sheng teach you." ”

Gongsun Sheng handed the burden to Shen Shikui.

Shen Shikui took the burden: "Does the general have any other orders?" ”

"No, you have to be careful along the way." Yang Chengying shook his head.

"My subordinates understood."

Shen Shikui followed Gongsun Sheng and left the tent.

Yingniang walked out from behind: "Husband, if you tell him all these secrets, you are not afraid that he will poke you out." ”

"I'm calling pulling people into the water."

Yang Chengying smiled: "You still want to run away after knowing my secret?" If he was smart enough, he wouldn't dare say half a word. ”

Yingniang smiled slightly: "Actually, there is another way......"

"Wait a minute." Yang Chengying didn't want to listen to it, so he interrupted directly: "Don't mention the thing you think about, I'm not interested." ”

With that, he got up and left.

Ying Niang Moth frowned slightly and sighed.
