Chang Feng stopped in the Fangchun Courtyard. He guessed that the person who looked less than thirty years old and was wearing a six-grade official uniform was Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe, a well-known young talent in the DPRK.

He is a native of Sichuan, and he is a prodigy when he is young. At the age of four, he knew the sound of the law, and at the age of seven, he read through the four books and the five classics.

At the age of twelve, he was admitted to the examination in another country.

Some twelve-year-old boys are still pouring boiling water into ant nests and blowing up large dung pits with firecrackers. He is already qualified to be a deputy county magistrate.

Typical of someone else's child.

At the age of thirteen, he came to the capital to take the entrance examination, but failed. But Guozijian likes to recruit prodigies like him. He will be admitted to the prison as a prisoner.

At the age of nineteen, he finally won the gold list in the general examination and the palace examination. But his ranking is not high, only the 125th place in the top three.

It stands to reason that such a ranking is not enough for him to enter the Hanlin Academy. Generally, it will be placed outside the place to be the county.

However, Yang Tinghe is good-looking and good-looking!

The Ming Dynasty selects officials and attaches great importance to appearance.

Yang Tinghe has a good demeanor and looks more solemn. When he passed on, he left a deep impression on Emperor Chenghua.

Emperor Chenghua gave him an exception to enter the Hanlin Academy as a Jishi.

In Daming, the Hanlin Academy is equivalent to the "Cabinet University Scholar Preparatory Cadets".

Not all of them may be able to enter the cabinet, but if you want to enter the cabinet, you must have been a courtier.

Three years later, Yang Tinghe was promoted to Hanlin Reviewer.

After a few more years, Yang Tinghe told the master of the academy that he wanted to do a job in the sixth department and exercise his ability to do practical things.

So, he became a director of the Ministry of Rites.

Chang Feng was in the Fangchun Courtyard, watching Yang Ting and the skilled bargaining with the Japanese envoys.

Yang Tinghe said: "Three boats of Japanese knives, a total of 5,000. Our price is 7,000 taels. I will give you five thousand horses of medium silk."

The envoy looked bitter and said in broken Chinese, "Nani? Seven thousand taels, we drop, and we can't get the money back."

Yang Tinghe's face changed drastically: "What? How can you talk about money when you pay tribute to the Ming Emperor? It's about sincerity!"

"If you are sincere. Not to mention five thousand horses of medium silk. Just give you a few hundred pieces of cloth, and you should all be grateful to the emperor!"

The envoy hurriedly said, "Ah, it's still five thousand horses of medium silk! We are Ashikaga Yoshimasa General, and we are very loyal to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

The real power of the Wakuni was Ashikaga Yoshimasa of the Muromachi shogunate.

The two sides negotiated. Yang Tinghe was about to put pen to paper to fill out the rebate paperwork.

The envoy was so full that he said, "Ah, we have returned twenty barrels with the ship to maintain the katana and drip walnut oil."

Yang Tinghe pretended to be stunned: "What? Do you still need to take care of your knives? It's really an inferior product in a small state! The return of silk is reduced to 4,000 horses, and not one more!"

The heads of the Japanese envoys are all big, and they dare not disagree. I had to suffer a dumb loss. Not to mention giving twenty barrels of walnut oil for nothing, I also lost a thousand horses of silk.

Chang Feng laughed dumbly.

After the Japanese envoy left. Chang Feng arched his hand towards Yang Tinghe: "Yang is in charge. In the lower Jinyi Weibei Town, Fusi thousands of households are often windy. I have admired your name for a long time."

When Yang Tinghe heard Chang Feng report the name of Jinyiwei, his first reaction was: I haven't done anything illegal.

He remembered after a moment. It should be that the emperor sent Jinyi Wei to go to Fujian with him to worship Mazu.

Yang Tinghe returned the salute: "In charge of the lower rite department, Yang Tinghe."

Chang Feng said, "Brother Yang, the emperor ordered me to go to Fujian with you. I am your lieutenant. Please take care of me along the way."

Yang Tinghe greeted: "Share the joys and sorrows, share the joys and sorrows. Oh, please take a seat. Come on, tea."

Chang Feng and Yang Tinghe sat down and chatted.

Chang Feng asked, "Brother Yang, I don't know something. Why don't you let the Wa Kingdom directly pay tribute to the silver into Beijing?"

Yang Tinghe patiently explained: "In fact, the cabinets of all dynasties have had disputes over this matter."

"If the Wa Kingdom pays direct tribute to silver

There's a big drawback."

"Japanese silver. As far as I know, there are several large silver mines in the country, such as Iwami and Ikuno. Huge quantities of silver are produced every year."

"With them, silver cannot be said to be as good as stupid iron, but it is indeed not worth much."

"If the Japanese kingdom uses a large amount of silver to buy our silk, tea, and other things. A large amount of silver poured into the Ming Dynasty, and the silver in the Ming Dynasty was worthless."

"After paying a very low price, the Japanese will buy back the goods produced by our silk workers and tea farmers to the island, and they can enjoy it cheaply."

Actually, the ancients were not stupid.

Modern people are constantly thinking, "Why should we close ourselves off from the country?" Isn't he fragrant to do business with foreigners? The person who makes the policy is a big fool."

In fact, modern people have forgotten to consider one thing, and that is the historical environment in which the people who made the policy lived.

The same policy is right in a certain historical context. It would be a big mistake to change the historical environment.

A smart person like Yang Tinghe who was promoted at the age of twelve (equivalent to a doctor in later generations). Is the IQ lower than that of keyboard warriors who graduated from junior college and undergraduate?

Chang Feng had a hearty conversation with Yang Tinghe and benefited a lot. Yang Tinghe's knowledge, talent, and demeanor deeply impressed Chang Feng.

Chang Feng secretly said in his heart: Brother Yang's future is absolutely unlimited. It may be that he will enter the cabinet one day.

Chang Feng's vision of people is still quite accurate.

Bidding farewell to Yang Tinghe, Chang Feng came to Xiangxi Lane.

The ninth girl smiled, "Oh, Brother Chang is here. Quick, talk in the hall."

There is a bed in the hall of the Nine Girls. It was the pulling bed that was copied out in Cai's mansion.

Chang Feng didn't want to enter the hall, and the nine girls lay coquettishly on the stepping bed. He couldn't hold back and did something ridiculous.

He's not Megumi Yanagishita, but he doesn't want to sleep with a complicated woman either.

If you sleep with nine girls. I'm afraid that the ninth girl will use the friendship of the bed to blackmail him for the rest of his life.

Chang Feng said, "Forget it. Let's talk in the courtyard."

The ninth girl said, "Brother Chang thinks my hall is dirty?"

Chang Feng was a little overwhelmed: "Let's talk about business!"

The Nine Girls said, "Okay. I have negotiated the shopkeepers of 68 antique shops, jewelry shops, and jade shops in Beijing. They're in a hurry to ask for your best goods."

"However, when trading, you'd better send someone to be there. Save me from accusing Ah Mei of deducting money from the palace."

"Such a big crime, Ah Mei can't afford it."

Chang Feng nodded with satisfaction: "Okay." When will I start trading?"

The Nine Girls said, "Tonight will start."

Chang Feng said, "I'll send Fat Xu over tonight."

After finishing business, the nine girls wanted to speak and stopped.

Chang Feng asked, "What else is going on?"

After a moment's hesitation, the Nine Maidens said, "I am now an errand boy for the palace. Tell you what is wrong."

"Wang Youde, the shopkeeper of the Bicui, ask me to sell a foreign pearl! It's bigger than the original Dragon Ball."

Chang Feng asked, "The designation is overdue. Where did he get it?"

The Nine Maidens said, "I got it from the hands of the Japanese people."
