"Hahaha... I've kept you waiting. After Zhang Yun changed his clothes, he came to the side hall with a smile.

At this time, Han Cheng and Xu Guangqi were sitting in the side hall.

When the three of them saw Zhang Yun coming, they hurriedly got up and saluted: "I've seen my lord,"

Zhang Yun waved his hand, and then sat directly on the main seat.

"Sit down, you're welcome."

After a few people sat down, Zhang Yun smiled at Xu Guangqi and said, "Master Xu, I didn't expect us to meet so soon." ”

"I didn't expect that you were the famous Chang Ningbo."

"It's just a name."

After that, Zhang Yun moved his gaze to the young man beside Xu Guangqi, who was wearing a cyan robe, with distinct facial features, firm eyes, and a handsome appearance.

"Du Ling has seen Chang Ningbo." Seeing Zhang Yun move his gaze to himself, Du Ling hurriedly got up again.

Zhang Yun smiled and nodded.

"When you come to the capital, can you find a place to stay?"

"Not yet, as soon as we entered the capital, we were pulled over by Lord Han." Xu Guangqi smiled bitterly.

Zhang Yun patted his head before he remembered the order he gave to Han Cheng, and his face was full of embarrassment.

In order to make amends, Zhang Yun smiled at Han Cheng and said, "Han Cheng, you will go and find a place for the two of them to live later." ”

Hearing this, the two hurriedly got up and arched their hands to Zhang Yun and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Subsequently, Zhang Yun asked about what the two of them saw on the road and their plans in the future.

Hearing that the two of them encountered a storm on the road and almost destroyed the ship, Zhang Yun couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for them.

"It's okay, it's okay, if I let them die, my sin will be great." Zhang Yun secretly rejoiced in his heart.

If he hadn't developed Qingdao in advance, they wouldn't have thought of taking the waterway, and naturally they wouldn't have encountered storms.

But fortunately, they were blessed with a great life and survived.

Xu Guangqi also talked about his future plans, probably the content of which is to enter the imperial examination.

Zhang Yun smiled and nodded, this is not difficult for Xu Guangqi.

Du Ling looked a little flustered on the side, and he stopped talking.

"You don't have to be nervous, just say what you have to say."

Du Ling heard Zhang Yun's words, got up and arched his hand to Zhang Yun and said, "My lord, I want to follow you to Qingdao and create more wealth for Daming." ”

"Oh? Will you try to participate? After hearing this, Zhang Yun asked with interest.

Du Ling nodded and said with a smile: "I won't participate." ”

"Brother Zimei, you!" Xu Guangqi looked at Du Ling in shock.

After hearing this, Du Ling smiled slightly: "Brother Zixian doesn't need to persuade me, I have made up my mind." ”

Then he said firmly to Zhang Yun again: "Please also ask the adults to fulfill it." ”

Zhang Yun was also interested in this kid, and asked softly, "Can I ask why?" ”

"In order to let the people of Daming have more ways to live."

"Bold!" Han Cheng heard this and shouted loudly.

Zhang Yun waved his hand to stop Han Cheng.

"You let him continue."

Du Ling cleared his throat and began to speak: "My people in Daming have been poor for a long time, and the squires and nobles everywhere are like parasites, lying on the seemingly powerful giant of Daming, absorbing nutrients. ”

"Take Songjiang Mansion and Huating County as an example, there are more than 200,000 mu of land in Xu Ge's hometown, and these only need to pay very little taxes."

"Most of the people are unable to make ends meet, and the final result is that the treasury is empty and the people are poor."

Zhang Yun smiled faintly after hearing this, and then slowly spoke: "Yes, you are right. ”

"But you're one of their squires."

Du Ling shouted excitedly: "I am ashamed to be in the company of them. ”

Then he continued: "If I want to change the current situation of poverty among the people, I must vigorously develop commerce so that the people can have money in their pockets. ”

"And foreign trade has naturally become the best way."

"It is a great achievement for the adults to continue the policy of the first emperor to open the sea."

"I'm not as great as you say, I just want to make some money for myself, let the people of Daming make some money, and let the country make some money." Zhang Yun said slowly.

He didn't expect this kid to have such insight.

Indeed, now taking advantage of the strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is the best way to plunder overseas resources.

Plunder is always the fastest way to accumulate primitive capital, and those robbers in the West in modern times have completed the primitive capital by robbery.

Therefore, Zhang Yun laid out Qingdao early, wanting it to become a bridgehead for opening the sea, and at the same time to be able to share the pressure of the capital.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Yun walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "I agreed to your request, but you have to give me the test if you want to try." ”

"Just do your best."

After hearing this, Du Ling said with a bitter face: "My lord, I am already thankful that I have to be lifted, and this will try me to go, just to make a head." ”

"Do your best."

"You just have to work hard, and the miracle will do the rest." Zhang Yun quipped.

Du Ling was stunned by him, and gritted his teeth and agreed to Zhang Yun's request.

"Then you follow Han Cheng to find a place to settle down first, and you can try it well, if you have any trouble, you can go to Han Cheng."

"Thank you, sir, I'll leave first." The two of them bowed their hands to Zhang Yun and were about to leave.

Han Cheng took the two of them around and came to a small courtyard, which was not far from the Tribute Courtyard.

There are three rooms in the small courtyard, and there is an ancient tree in the courtyard with lush branches.

The walls are spread by the vines of ancient trees, and there are still some orchids growing in the corners of the courtyard, adding a bit of vitality to the courtyard.

"Two, you can make do here for a while." Han Cheng said with a smile.

After hearing this, Xu Guangqi smiled and said, "Lord Han is polite, this is already very good." ”

"Then you stay first, I still have some things to do and leave first, if you have something, come to Nanzhen Fusi to find me."

With that, Han Cheng pulled away and left.

The two bowed to Han Cheng, and then walked towards the house with their luggage.

After pushing the door in, I found that there were all kinds of bedding and tea sets inside.

"Lord Han is also a meticulous person." Xu Guangqi looked at the neat futon and said softly.

"Well, it's no wonder that Chang Ningbo Bo trusts Lord Han so much."

After the two put down their luggage, they cleaned up some clutter a little, and the time came to evening.

"Brother Zixian, I'm a little hungry, let's go find some food."

"Hmm."

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

As soon as the two were about to go out, there was a knock on the door.

"Here we are."

Du Ling answered and hurriedly went to open the door.

After opening the door, Du Ling showed half of his body, and what caught his eye was a guy carrying a food box, and he was looking at Du Ling with a smile on his face.

"Who are you looking for?" Du Ling asked suspiciously.

"My lord said, let me send some food to the two sons."

"Who is your adult?"

"My family is Han Cheng."

Du Ling took the food box and smiled at the little two: "Then thank you brother." ”

After that, he took out a piece of broken silver from his bosom and handed it to the man.

"Childe is polite, I don't dare to accept this money, if I accept it, I will have to smash my job." The guy hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

Du Ling laughed softly: "This is a reward for you, you and I won't say it, who can know." ”

The man pondered for a long time, and then took the silver.

"Then thank you Childe, Childe, you use it slowly, and I'll come back tomorrow."

With that, the man walked away with brisk steps.

Du Ling looked at the back of the man, chuckled, closed the door, and walked towards the house.

"Brother Zixian, we don't have to go out, someone has brought food to the door."

Xu Guangqi was just about to ask Du Ling who was coming, when he saw Du Lingti walking in with a food box.

After Du Ling put down the food box, he quipped: "Lord Han is really thoughtful, this food and accommodation have been arranged for us." ”

Subsequently, the food in the food box was taken out, and the special roast whole sheep and roast duck were among them.

The two of them just sniffed it, and then they only felt that the gluttonous worm had been hooked out.

Du Ling took it out and started, picked up a slice of roast duck and ate it and put it in his mouth.

"Well, it's scorched on the outside and tender on the inside."

"It's just a little tired."

Then he looked at the dough on the side, not knowing what it was for, thinking it was just ordinary dough.

One bite after the other, the two quickly swept away the food on the table.

After a full meal, Du Ling lay on the chair, touched his stomach and smiled, "This meal is so delicious." ”

"Well, I feel a little stretched, let's go out and eat."

Xu Guangqi was originally an extremely self-disciplined person and rarely overeats, but he didn't expect to break his own rules without paying attention today.

Du Ling listened to Xu Guangqi's proposal and stood up.

The two of them cheered up and began to walk slowly towards the streets of the capital.

After a while, I came to a prosperous area.

At this time, the lights were on, the surrounding vendors kept shouting, and the green buildings on both sides also began to solicit guests, saying storytelling, singing and opera.

There are also many people from all over the world, who have become the hot characters on this street, and many Qinglou women are looking forward to being favored by them.

One day, the high school will be able to redeem them.

However, this is just a fantasy, not to mention whether they can be promoted to the Jinshi, even if they are lucky enough to get the Jinshi, it is estimated that the first thing they have to do is to cut off relations with them.

If you want to be a big official in the future, how can you lose money in private?

Du Ling and Xu Guangqi walked along the street to the end of the street, and then walked from the end of the street to the street, which made them feel much better.

Xu Guangqi saw that it was not early, and proposed: "Why don't we go back, we will have to take care of ourselves tomorrow, and there is not much time left before the exam." ”

"Hmm." Du Ling smiled and nodded.

This time, Du Ling did not refute for the first time.

He wanted Zhang Yun to see his perseverance, and he also wanted him to see his own value.

The reason why Han Cheng is trusted by Zhang Yun is that he can do everything without leakage, no matter how big or small?

I can't do what he does, so I have to start elsewhere, and doing business is my strength.

Du Ling was not interested in the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, but he was interested in doing business.

For this, he has not been beaten by his father since he was a child.
