After Yang Zongtai said this, the scene suddenly fell into a dead silence, and the businessmen of Fanbang turned even pale, and they lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at Yang Zongtai again.

Time passed slowly, and for a long time, I saw Louis's lips move, but he didn't make any sound.

Seeing this, the rest of the Fanbang businessmen were afraid of angering the Ming official in front of them, so they hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Louis back into the team, and immediately apologized to Yang Zongtai in the half-baked Ming official language.

"My lord, this matter is our fault!"

"After three days, we will pay all the original remuneration according to the agreement!"

When Yang Zongtai heard this, he immediately withdrew his gaze and said slowly.

"After three days, if you have not paid the remuneration according to the original agreement, then the official will act in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty!"

Yang Zongtai paused when he said this, and then added.

"Don't think about doing anything, unless you don't want to trade with me from now on!"

Seeing this situation, the few Fanbang merchants, after communicating with each other for a while, immediately bowed slightly and said slowly.

"Do your bidding, my lord!"

Seeing that the matter was irreparable, the Fanbang businessmen left the court one after another.

"Thank you, my lord, for making the decision for me, otherwise, when the time comes, the owner will track it down, and our lives will be in jeopardy, please accept my wait!"

Seeing this, Qiao Er's face was full of gratitude, and he immediately led everyone, knelt on the ground, and saluted Yang Zongtai.

Seeing this, Yang Zongtai just waved his hand rather casually and spoke.

"This official is just acting in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Now that the matter has been settled, then you should retire first, this official has other things to do next!"

I saw Yang Zongtai retract his gaze and said slowly.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

When Qiao Er heard this, he didn't dare to disturb him anymore, and immediately took his subordinates and left with a thousand thanks.

Seeing this, Yang Zongtai shook his head helplessly, and immediately returned to the room and continued to deal with the unfinished business before.

After a while, I saw Yang Zongtai's wife pushing the door in with pastries and tea.

She was keenly aware of the tiredness on her husband's face, and saw him take a step forward, put aside the pastries and tea in his hand, and gently pinched Yang Zongtai's shoulder.

"What's the matter, why is my husband so tired?"

When Yang Zongtai heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and complained.

"Alas, although the port is reopened now, the burden on my husband is a lot heavier!"

"Not only do I need to deal with the affairs in Quanzhou City, but I am also responsible for the disputes arising from the sea trade.

When Yang Zongtai's wife heard this, a look of worry appeared on her face, and she said slowly.

"Why don't you report this to the truth?"

"Let the imperial court send a special official to be responsible for managing the disputes of maritime trade, I remember that the senior pavilion elder who brought you before was not in charge of the maritime trade department?"

"In addition, he also sent someone to explain to you, saying that if something happens, you can report it to him!"

When Yang Zongtai heard this, he immediately shook his head and refused.

"No, Gao Ge Lao brought me because he looked up to me, how could I bother him with such a trivial matter?"

Seeing this, Yang Zongtai's wife was full of uncertainty, and the strength in her hands also increased a lot, so painful that Yang Zongtai grinned, but he didn't dare to attack.

"Then what do you want to do, if you continue like this, your body will not be able to hold it sooner or later!"

"When the time comes, do you want to watch us orphans and widows depend on each other like this?"

When Yang Zongtai's wife said this, she immediately took out her handkerchief, hid her face and wept.

Seeing this, Yang Zongtai immediately panicked, and hurriedly took his wife into his arms and comforted him softly.

"How can a husband be willing to let you two depend on each other?"

Lin'er is still young, besides, I haven't seen the day he won the exam, and ......"

Before Yang Zongtai finished speaking, he saw his wife exclaim, and then quickly covered Yang Zongtai's mouth and said continuously.

"Don't say any more, I'm afraid you'll ......"

When Yang Zongtai heard this, he couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart, and he saw him hold his wife's hand tightly and say in a deep voice.

"I promise you for my husband!"

"Hmm."

Seeing this, Yang Zongtai's wife immediately burst into tears and laughed, but when she found out about her current situation, her face was full of shyness, and she quickly got up from Yang Zongtai's arms and looked elsewhere.

This scene can't help but make Yang Zongtai recall the beginning, the two childhood sweethearts, the two little guesses, unconsciously Yang Zongtai was stupid, for a long time, I saw him retract his gaze, and said slowly.

"Help me grind the ink!"

"Hmm."

When Yang Zongtai's wife heard this, the shyness on her face disappeared, and between her gestures, she exuded a unique demure temperament, which made people feel relaxed.

After Yang Zongtai's wife finished studying the ink, he quietly stepped aside.

Subsequently, I saw Yang Zongtai pick up the pen and began to write on the raft.

"Gao Ge Lao, Yang Zongtai, the prefect of Quanzhou, has taken the liberty of bothering this time, and I hope that the old man will not blame!"

"Since the official opening of Quanzhou Port, the number of ships coming and going in the port every day has increased, the local people have also had a job, and the local situation in Quanzhou has also improved day by day!"

"However, with the increasing prosperity of trade, the problems in it have gradually been exposed, that is, the disputes between the two sides of the trade are becoming more and more serious!"

Yang Zongtai paused for a moment when he wrote this, and after organizing the language in his mind, he continued.

"The notice issued by the imperial court was to let the lower officials temporarily take charge of all the affairs of the maritime trade, but the lower officials are really lacking in skills and cannot take care of them at the same time, so the lower officials implore the senior cabinet to send special officials to deal with the disputes arising from the maritime trade."

"In this way, it is not only conducive to the development of maritime trade, but also can effectively protect the interests of our Ming merchants!"

When the last word fell, Yang Zongtai breathed a sigh of relief, and put the brush in his hand aside.

After that, Yang Zongtai checked the contents of the letter several times from beginning to end, and only after confirming that it was correct did he call his cronies and instruct him like this.

"Submit this letter to the Mansion of the High Court Elder!"

When the cronie heard this, he immediately replied in a deep voice.

"Yes, sir!"

Seeing this, Yang Zongtai withdrew his gaze and added a sentence closely.

"Pay attention to safety, don't make any mistakes in between, understand?"

"Adult, little one understands!"

……

Beijing, Yanfu.

After a period of recuperation, Yan Song's whole complexion visibly improved.

At this moment, he was lying on the bed without any image, listening to Yan Shifan's report.

"Father, things really didn't go beyond your expectations, then Xu Jie is really secretly investigating the transformation of the treasure ship!"

"Now, he Xu Jie's can be regarded as a pounce!"

When Yan Shifan said this, he couldn't help but have a little schadenfreude on his face.

After listening to Yan Shifan's words, Yan Song couldn't help frowning, and immediately spoke.

"Idiot, what you know, can Xu Jie not know?"

"He is obviously using this incident to show everyone his attitude, he Xu Jie's wrist is going to break with me!"

Yan Shifan was reprimanded by this, the look on his face became more and more respectful, and he turned his gaze to Yan Song and said slowly.

"Thanks to my father's teachings, the child knows."

When Yan Shifan said this, he immediately changed his words and continued.

"Father, in recent days, that Yan Maoqing often wants to come to visit you, do you want to ......?"

I saw Yan Song shook his head imperceptibly, and commanded.

"Tell Yan Maoqing, let him settle down, don't run to my side if you have nothing to do, Your Majesty is still watching!"

Seeing this, Yan Shifan had no choice but to respond.

"Yes, father, the child knows."
