Wang Qi ignored Ye Xianggao's depressed appearance.

Sometimes, after sitting in a high position for a long time, I am naturally afraid of being pulled down.

What's more, it is a position worthy of the emperor's authority?

Just now, Ye Xianggao has already laid the groundwork enough.

First of all, he was guided by his grandson's willingness to develop in his hometown in Fujian, expressing his hidden worries about his lack of prestige, and then he wanted to retreat as an advance, and wanted to get Wang Qi's guarantee by stepping down from the position of the big councilor!

At the same time, because he was afraid that his weight would not be enough, Ye Xianggao also accepted a petition for his name - through his own proposal, let the Queen Mother marry Wang Qi with the beauty of an adult!

In exchange for Wang Qi's compromise.

Who knows, Wang Qi never thought about marrying the Queen Mother at all.

This time, the horse stumbled.

Moreover, does Ye Xianggao have any other way than to go down according to Wang Qi's arrangement?

Since standing with Wang Qi, Ye Xianggao has been branded with the brand of Wang Dang in his bones, and he can no longer erase it.

Even if it's a return to the old man. Ye Xianggao also has no way out.

"My lord, Qiu Tong and Zheng Yiguan have arrived! Just wait in the hall." As soon as Wang Qi returned to the palace, an attendant stepped forward.

"Oh? It's just the right time! Wang Qi nodded and walked to the living room.

Since the last time Qiu Tong and Zheng Yiguan went to Japan together, in the following half a year, he has visited three times in a row, basically the terms of trade between the two countries have been signed, and Japan's Nagasaki Prefecture has also begun to officially lease to the Chinese Parliament for an indefinite period of time according to the agreement, as an intermediate port for trade between the two countries, and also a bridgehead for cultural exchanges between China and Japan.

After Japan's trade gradually stabilized, Wang Qi wanted to gradually expand the territory of China in all directions.

Today, the arrival of Qiu Tong and Zheng Yiguan is in Wang Qi's arms.

"The lower officials meet the ruling lord!"

Qiu Tong and Zheng Yiguan both got up and bowed to Wang Qi.

"Sit down, sit down," Wang Qi has never asked for those false courtesies, especially for close acquaintances, it is good to greet each other, and there is no need to give a big salute every time.

Both sides are tired.

"My lord, this time Japan's trade port and trade plan have begun to be implemented, judging from the trade volume in the first three months, it is conservatively estimated that in the next year, the trade volume between the Huaxia Parliament and Japan will be more than seven times that of this year. In addition, there was a large number of people in Japan, and they planned to work in China, and before returning from Japan, the Tokugawa shogunate had already set up a labor department to manage the personnel who were going to work in China. ”

"Well, well done!" Looking down at the notebook handed over by Qiu Tong, and at the same time expressing satisfaction with the results of his work, after a while, Wang Qi raised his head slightly: "But it should be noted that the struggle between the Tokugawa and Matsuura clans, we don't need to intervene, and we don't need to express our position, our needs are only trade colonization, not land colonization." ”

Regarding Wang Qi's request, Qiu Tong was puzzled: "My lord, if you support one side, it will also be of great help to my trade dumping." ”

"It's not time yet, when the Japanese handicraft owners really wake up, it's time for us to make a move, if we support one side now, it will make the tension in Japan aggravate, which is not conducive to our purpose, remember, if you control their economy, it is to pinch their throat, and the rest are floating clouds!"

"My subordinates understand!" Qiu Tong and Zheng Yiguan both nodded yes when they heard this.

The communication with Wang Qi has always been the most simple and efficient.

Different from the soil that grows in the traditional Chinese Confucian and Taoist systems, there is quite a bit of blank space in it.

Wang Qi's words are generally direct and efficient, and they will not let you guess blindly.

After a short while, after a few small talks, Wang Qi provoked another topic: Taiwan.

"Yesterday, the parliament received a report on the Dutch occupying our island of Taiwan, and after deliberation, the parliament decided to form a navy in order to regain our territory in Taiwan and at the same time annihilate all the Dutch!" Wang Qi looked at Zheng Yiguan: "Yiguan, you are from Fujian, not far from Taiwan, do you have any suggestions on this matter?" ”

"The Dutch have been occupying Taiwan for a long time, and there were actions during the Wanli Dynasty, which lasted until the time of the apocalypse," Zheng Yiguan thought for a while, and then said slowly: "And my former Ming Dynasty has been withered since the opening of the sea ban, the water army has withered, although in recent years under the leadership of the parliament, there has been great progress, but in fact, compared with the Netherlands and other countries, it is far from it, I have a close friend, once together between Japan and China to trade, worship as brothers!" If we can recruit them under our command and train them to maintain the navy, then my plan to recover Taiwan is feasible! ”

"Who?" Wang Qi has great expectations for Zheng Yiguan in his heart, after all, he was the first big pirate on the southeast coast in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and he must have his outstanding features if he can break into a great name.

Originally, Wang Qi wanted Zheng Yiguan to personally lead the team and set up a navy, but since he intended to develop in Japan, he would listen to the people he recommended.

"Yan Siqi, the word Zhenquan, is from Haicheng County. When he was in Japan, the Han people were led by him, and he broke out of the world, but later because he offended the shogunate, now the Zhenquan brothers are temporarily dormant on the Ryukyu Islands, if the adults are interested, a government can convey the meaning of the council."

"I have written to the Great Council to give you a clear official status of the parliament - the deputy director of the shipping department of the parliament, and the dispatch still belongs to the Japanese trade, you go to talk to him in the capacity of the parliament, and my condition is one, within three years, take back Taiwan, and garrison troops on it, as for his conditions, you go to talk first!"

"My subordinates understand, and I will personally go to Fujian tomorrow to facilitate this matter!" Zheng Yiguan was overjoyed when he heard this!

Although he has always followed Wang Qi, he can be regarded as the consul's confidant in the eyes of outsiders.

But in fact, there is no official position, and there is no clear identity.

This is always an awkward situation.

Now that Wang Qi has landed Zheng Yiguan's official position and dispatch with a piece of paper, how can he not be overjoyed?

Wang Qi's daily time is extremely precious, and countless people are waiting in line to meet the ruling lord.

Therefore, after Qiu Tong and Zheng Yiguan finished talking, they quickly got up and said goodbye.

Wang Qi took advantage of this break to pick up the pen and reply to the urgent performance and local secret letters.

"Huh?" Wang Qi's gaze fell on the letter, the end of the pen paused, even his brows furrowed slightly, and the expression on his face was a hint of doubt.

After a while, Wang Qi looked at the place where the payment was made: "Liu Mao, a member of the Land Section under the Reform and Development Department of the Parliament. ”

Wang Qi's eyes moved up again, and he saw the key sentence: When today, about seven or eight out of ten of the counties in the state and county are trapped in the post station, and only two-tenths of the post station is used for official business, and eight tenths of the post is used for private affairs.

"Hey," only three words popped up in Wang Qi's mind: Li Zicheng. (End of chapter)
