Return to Ming Dynasty as Prince: Two hundred and fifty, the war of commerce has not been attacked.

The ship is about to arrive in Suzhou. Yang Ling leaned on the railing and looked back. The waves from the bottom of the ship turned into white bubbles, like a white net dragged by the boat.

"Adults don’t have to worry about it. Chu Ling and Chu Yan are clever and well-behaved girls. They understand other people’s minds best. In addition, they are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. With them in Qixia Mountain, Lian'er girls will definitely not Lonely."

Yang Ling turned her head and saw Cheng Qiyun leaning gracefully on the pinewood rose pierced chair, holding a precious Song porcelain tea bowl and gently savoring the good Yuqian Longjing, just in time and authentic .

Yang Ling nodded, walked back to the chair and sat down, Cheng Qiyun immediately put down the cup, poured a cup for him, held the cup with two fingers, the rest of the finger was like an orchid, and gently handed it in front of him.

Yang Ling took the teacup and groaned: "You turned out to be the person on the ground. When Mo Qinghe was there, many officials must have recognized you. The military and political officials of Suzhou and Hangzhou will come to meet the imperial envoys. If..."

He just said that when he heard a "pop", the precious Song porcelain tea bowl fell to the ground and shattered. Yang Ling raised her head in surprise, only to see Cheng Qiyun's face was bloodless, she looked like a pale piece of paper, and her body was shaking uncontrollably.

Yang Ling was startled, and hurriedly stood up and said: "What's the matter with you?"

"Don't come here!" Cheng Qiyun hissed, she stepped back to the side of the cabin, her eyes became foggy, and she looked at Yang Ling sadly: "Do you dislike me? Are you afraid of me? The humble past embarrassed you this imperial servant?"

The girls from Goulan Yard are the most inferior, but they are beautiful and versatile. No matter their looks are better than their daughters, they can’t be counted. However, their origin has become a world of difference, a huge contrast. Let them have extreme self-esteem. Cheng Qiyun was exhausted and followed Yang Ling wholeheartedly. Hearing what he said, she couldn't bear it, and her self-esteem exploded uncontrollably.

Yang Ling suddenly realized that she had misunderstood what she meant, and quickly stepped forward and explained: "Yiyun, you misunderstood me, I..."

Cheng Qiyun burst into tears and shook her head frantically: "Don't say it, don't say it, I knew I shouldn't be wishful thinking, I might as well drop it clean..."

Yang Ling saw that she was going to pretend to be Du Shiniang, she was really anxious now, and couldn't help but yelled: "Asshole! Shut me up!"

Liu Dabangmai heard the noise inside, and just took a look inside, he was pulled out of the front cabin by the collar of Wu Hanchao, and whispered: "You dare to eavesdrop on the housework of the factory supervisor. Impatient to live?"

Liu Dabangmao stuck out his tongue and said with a silly smile: "Isn't it? Your lord will kill me?"

Wu Hanchao kicked him in the **** and said with a smile: "Fuck you, go to the front, no one will take you as dumb."

Liu Dabangmao was born with supernatural power, but he was easily knocked down by several times against Wu Hanchao, so he was most obedient to Wu Hanchao, and ran out obediently and went to watch the scenery next to the boat gang.

Wu Hanchao looked around at no one, hurriedly rushed back, standing outside the cabin, stunned to sound. Curiosity killed the cat. Wudang heroes are also humans. How can they not like to listen to gossip?

Cheng Qiyun only felt that her heart seemed to be pinched tightly in her palm, the pain deepened to her bones, and she couldn't breathe. Originally, no matter how softly Yang Ling asked, she didn't want to impress her dying heart, but Yang Ling yelled at her uncharacteristically, which suppressed her arrogance.

Cheng Qiyun looked at Yang Ling stupidly, and saw Yang Ling flushed with anger, pointed to her nose and shouted: "I praise you as a female middle school Zhuge, what a fool! You...you...I If you dislike you, how can you make your appearance and act as the in-house director in Jiangnan, holding the power of life and death? How can you be with me and show your face in the presence of the princes of Nanjing? Idiot!"

Cheng Qiyun shivered when she was scolded, and she explained timidly: "But...but you...you just...?"

"What's wrong with me? I haven't explained it to you yet. If you figure it out, tell me. If you can't figure it out, I don't want to see you again!" Yang Ling was confident, and was about to leave with a shake of his hand.

What kind of woman has to use what kind of means, Cheng Qiyun has always been strong, playing with others on her palms. If she wants to hold her down, she must be restrained first in terms of momentum.

Sure enough, Cheng Qiyun's sorrow and anger was cursed by Yang Ling and turned into a river of spring water, flowing eastward, even if Yang Ling didn't explain a word, Cheng Qiyun felt that she was very wrong.

Seeing that Yang Ling was eager to leave, she quickly grabbed him and grabbed his arm, and said with a smile: "My lord, it's a humble job, I'm worried, I'm worried... I'm worried that Qiyun is ashamed to see Jiangdong's old friend, and she wants to help me Are you planning to?"

Yang Ling gave her a sideways look and hummed heavily without answering.

This is more effective than answering. Cheng Qiyun felt sweet in her heart. She shook his arm eagerly. She nicknamed, "My lord, it's wrong for the humble job." She lowered her head and said quietly: It’s a member of the Huanchang, a well-known prostitute, and a wife of an official. It is fashionable in the eunuch, and there is no shame in showing up in front of others."

She took a peek at Yang Ling, like a child who had done something wrong, drooping her head and said: "As for Mo Qinghe once used his humble position to make good officials, but...Looking at Jiangnan, there are not many officials worthy of him. My lord let the humble post preside over the overall situation of Jiangnan. After the humble post returned to Jiangnan, Zeng... once let out the wind, saying that I am..."

She raised her eyes to look at Yang Ling, her face flushed like a pomegranate, and she murmured: "The humble post let out the wind, saying that I was the concubine of an adult, and... I was very much loved by the adults. As soon as the news came out, the corrupt officials were very scared, some returned to their hometowns, and some voluntarily transferred to the deserted government, for fear that staying in Jiangnan would cause the adults to kill, so...so it doesn’t get in the way. Of..."

Yang Ling froze for a while, Cheng Qiyun's expression became tense again, and she said softly: "My lord blames Qiyun, which has damaged my reputation?"

Yang Ling smiled bitterly: "What's so bad about this reputation? It's just... Do you remember what I said to you the first time we went along this canal to Jinling? I said... You Even if you cling to the powerful and able to hold the power, it is not the destination of women after all. Sooner or later, you still have to take the road of husband and child. This matter is spread out, but it is just to add a romantic affair to the official, and you will be back in the future. How to marry someone?"

Cheng Qiyun remembered that the two of them were like enemies and friends, and he went to Jinling together on guard. Now Yang Ling is waiting for her to put her heart in her stomach. Who said she was a stubborn heartbeat?

Cheng Qiyun suppressed the excitement in her heart, and said softly and softly: "If you can marry, you will marry a concubine. If you can't marry a concubine, you will serve the adult for life. You can saddle your horse to repay the grace of the encounter. , Concubine... I will die without complaint!"

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Wu Jiyuan, Xu Jing and others did not go to Suzhou with Yang Ling because they were discussing the purchase of ocean-going merchant ships with the Longjiang ship manufacturer. Three large ships from the imperial mission arrived at the Suzhou wharf, and brigade officials such as Gu Dayong, Li Daxiang and Jiangnan, including the chief envoy, command envoy, and police envoy, came to greet them.

While Lord Yue, the chief ambassador of Jiangnan has just arrived in office, the name of Dai Lou'er, the first prostitute of Jiangnan, and her entanglement with Yang Ling have also been heard. In the eyes of scholars and officials at that time, the romantic prostitutes were like a precious commodity. Whoever had the ability would take it away. The more famous they were, the more they were worth. Anyway, it's not about getting married as a regular wife, but nobody cares about their past. So I met Cheng Qiyun, who was generously accompanied by Yang Ling. This top-ranked chief executive was just amazed by Dai Lou'er's beauty, envious of Yang Ling's quick start, but there was not a single bit of discrimination in his heart.

Yang Ling was originally worried that some officials who have not changed from the past will be disrespectful to Dai Lou'er. Dai Lou'er is arrogant and is bound to suffer such humiliation. He didn't know that scholar-officials in this era had serious views on chastity. On the one hand, they were extremely mean to women. On the other hand, they regarded lingering in brothels as a romantic affair, and it was fashionable to accept famous prostitutes as concubines, not as serious as he thought. .

Gu Dayong is overjoyed with the arrival of Yang Ling. These days he is busy with the establishment of the Customs Office, the Department of Shipping, the Navy, and the Tax Supervisory Office. Gu Dayong has limited learning. However, he has learned a lot, and he keeps in mind the instructions of Yang Ling, never blindly command, just grasping personnel affairs. Don't let go.

The people who are willing to work hard and can produce results are those who are available. He boldly lets his subordinates do it. Anyway, behind him is Yang Ling, the emperor, the relatives of the emperor in Beijing, and the support of local gentry and tycoons. The main function of the upper-level person in control of the overall situation is to mobilize the enthusiasm of the subordinates. He does not need to handle things in detail. Besides, there are two factories and one guard secretly communicating various business intelligence and the preparation process of each yamen. Things can really be hidden from him.

Yang Ling and Cheng Qiyun agreed to accept the banquet, and Xie sent them to local officials. Only then did they return to the imperial court with Gu Dayong, Li Daxiang and other close figures to have tea for a chat.

This house is a newly built seaside corridor by Gu Dayong next to Shibo Siyamen. Gu Dayong is a northerner who is not used to the small bridges and flowing water and curved loop corridors of Jiangnan. The architecture of this house is just like a northern mansion. The ground is an open style.

The tall door lintel, the straight corridor, a row of wind-milled copper dead wind lanterns hung from the gate every five steps, extending to the middle hall, illuminating the courtyard as if day.

"Our family has ordered Suzhou Weaving to expand production, and the individual weaving workshops have also asked them to take charge of one piece according to the instructions of the adults. They are dedicated to producing silk and weaving and weaving. The finished products are unified by the Weaving Bureau. Acquisition.

In such a division of labor, each family has saved a lot of manpower and material resources, and the production speed has also been much faster. Moreover, each family is in a mutual supply relationship, and no one can be separated from each other. The weaving workshops did not dismantle each other. I stumbled under the yin leg", Li Daxiang was scared by Yang Ling's'knife hiding in a smile', he pleased the tunnel as soon as he sat down.

Yang Ling smiled and said: "For hard work, things like porcelain, silk, cloth, Buddhist scriptures, poems, etc., high, middle and low grades must be prepared, and they can be sold to Japan at high prices after trading."

He drank a few glasses of water and wine, he was very interested, and he was full of subordinates without any scruples. He smiled on a whim: "This is not cheap weaving, hehe, it's good for three cents and seven cents. Stuff."

Li Daxiang stared at him and said: "My lord said...no one...what do you think?"

Yang Ling laughed loudly and said: "Uh...I mean Great Ming manufacturing, haha, just a sentence, don't mind Grandpa Li."

Gu Dayong rushed to explain in a clever way: "Master Yang has several red-haired and blue-eyed people from the far west. This is the language of the country, my lord."

Li Daxiang several people suddenly realized that they quickly expressed their admiration and praise.

Yang Ling said: "But you sirs, please remember that it is the free trade of the private sector, but no court is so idiotic. It is entirely up to the people. You need to guide, understand? You should not enter more, you should not leave more. When the tax rate is set, it is necessary to increase the tax rate. The people naturally touch those things less. We should buy more sulfur, swords, hematoxylin and copper mines in Japan, and less entertaining things.

Also, Min Wenjian Master Min will come to see me tomorrow, but I have heard that the Southeast Asian crops grown in Junzhong’s farm are growing very well. After a large amount of crops are planted next year, there will be surplus grains, and they should be sold to other countries as appropriate. Only seeing the immediate benefits, we must make it inseparable from us. "

Li Daxiang said anxiously: "My lord, the Weaving Bureau has already stocked a large amount of cloth and silk purchased by Songjiang and other places. I heard that the princes of Japan are now fighting and they are extremely poor. Do they have the money to buy our things?"

Gu Dayong got Yang Ling instructed him to pay close attention to the development of Japan. The factory guard has sent back some information and knows it well, so he heard the words: "Lao Li, you can rest assured that although Japan is small, there are many gold mines. In recent years, there have been wars everywhere, and the countryside and cities have been barren. Fortunately, big names from all over the world are starting to mine. They have nothing else. There is a steady stream of gold and silver."

Li Daxiang felt relieved when he heard this, and his face suddenly changed to a relaxed smile.

Yang Ling didn’t really have any good intentions. He used to negotiate open sea trade, and the envoys sent to Japan were mixed with a large number of experts who collected various intelligence. According to the information they sent back, the daimyos from all over Japan played hard. Under the rule, no one was content with farming and working, so that they became poorer and poorer.

In order to increase their strength and gain advantages in fighting against other daimyos, daimyo is organizing full-scale manpower mining by taking advantage of Japan’s mountainous terrain and gold and silver mines. The far-sighted daimyo has even begun to build water conservancy projects and encourage farming.

Yang Ling calculates that gold and silver are the universal currency in the world. Where and when they are put, they are valuable things. If you provide them with various items and even food to solve their worries, then the attention of big names everywhere will be From preparing for a temporary truce due to economic difficulties, and re-shifting from the vigorous development of agro-industry to the struggle for hegemony, then when Great Ming vigorously develops the navy and integrates with the world, they can use their civil strife to lead them by at least 50 years, and they want to pursue it again. But it is difficult.

Yang Ling never expected his purpose to be so simple, but because of how much impact this move has on the future: Japan has therefore embarked on the same development path as Spain, while Great Ming has accumulated a hundred and five Sufficient capital for an industrial explosion ten years later.

In history, the Warring States daimyo mined a large amount of gold and silver in the 16th century, and developed the economy, so that after only 50 years, they did not have to rely on * trade with Ming Dynasty to survive, thus embarking on the road of independence and self-reliance. However, now Great Ming has lifted the sea ban more than 60 years in advance, dumping a large number of products and even grains urgently needed by Japan, so that they no longer have to worry about the future.

The inexhaustible Jinshan silver mines, so that they don’t have to worry about the consequences of not producing. Gold and silver extracted from the mountains can be exchanged for fine silk, expensive porcelain and food from Great Ming. Who is willing to face Going to farm with loess back to the sky?

This situation is just like the situation where Spain destroyed the Inca kingdom and plundered countless gold to become upstarts. With such a strong capital, in the West where gold is used as a currency, if used to develop production, they will undoubtedly become Europe. The richest country.

However, they mistakenly thought that they could continue to plunder countless gold and silver from the New World, and they only knew how to spend and spend. As a result, they only built a bridge to transfer gold and silver from the New World to Europe. The country was almost destroyed by this financial crisis.

The generous trade of Great Ming and the steady stream of gold and silver mined gave the Japanese the same illusion that they also embarked on this path. What about Great Ming instead? The people of Great Ming prefer to store gold for them. The big Ming Dynasty has become a huge ‘gold-absorbing sponge’, and gold flows in and can’t squeeze it out again.

After more than one hundred years of accumulation, this universal gold currency has provided sufficient funds when Great Ming’s culture, law, technology, and ideology have grown from business to industry, and matured and finally produced the Industrial Revolution. ready.

Come on,

Yang Ling talked with a few confidants about the opening of seas and trade, and after listening to the preparations for the establishment of various government offices under Gu Dayong, it took about an hour before they served tea to the guests.

When he returned to the line, Cheng Qiyun secretly informed the Shark King that Peng Fugui had sent someone to send the latest military information secret report, and she had gone to meet in the back room. Peng Fugui has joined the Great Ming Navy since being recruited by Cheng Qiyun, but he has two identities: he is an officer of the Great Ming Navy and also the head of the internal factory, similar to the military spy of later generations.

The Peng family has been operating at sea for many years, and has secret information channels with Japanese pirates and Japan. After investing in the internal factory, he has secretly surrendered Wang Meiren, his subordinate who has followed him for many years. Wang Meiren is one of the four largest pirates on the sea in Zhejiang and Fujian. She inherited almost the old team of Mr. Peng, and her base was anchored on Mount Putuo. His secret return is like planting a sharp knife among the Japanese pirates, and it will surely play an inestimable role in the future.

Yang Ling is also anxious to know what news Peng Fugui sent, and hurried to the back hall, but saw someone go to the building, and asked the maidservant that the messenger had left, so Yang Ling walked towards Cheng Qiyun Go to the residence.

Cheng Qiyun's residence is separated from the Yang Ling by a corridor, in the middle is a potted garden with strings of Jiangnan-style red lights hanging on the pillars.

Cheng Qiyun's two personal servants were all left to wait for Ma Lian'er. At this time, only the little maid sent by the liner was around to serve. Seeing that Yang Ling had arrived, Cheng Qiyun hurriedly greeted her.

She approached Yang Ling and sat down in the small hall. The maidservant offered two cups of tea and walked back. Yang Ling saw that her makeup was half removed and her clothes had not been changed, but the blue silk had been unwrapped, her appearance was soft and charming. The cheeks are dyed red, making it even more delicate, and he can't help but smile: "You dress up elegant and not vulgar today, and you can see amazing eyes everywhere when you go to the banquet. With such care, it is really a woman who pleases herself."

Cheng Qiyun glanced at him affectionately, meaningfully said: "Qiyun only wants to...just want to be happy for herself. I don't care what others think about it."

Yang Ling saw her long black hair hanging down like a waterfall to her slender waist, and Cheng Qiyun’s tone of voice was charming and charming. It was more seductive in the light of the night, so she didn’t I dared to look again, looked away hurriedly, took advantage of the opportunity of serving tea to stabilize my mind, and then coughed, "What news did Mr. Peng send?"

Seeing that he always avoids the frivolous smile at him, Cheng Qiyun bit her lip with some annoyance, and then said: "Are you worried about anything, nothing happened? What do you want to see? Everything is done exactly right; but, in this way, there is something bad."

Yang Ling glared at her, and said, "Selling less, what is the news?"

Sheng Qiyun smiled "pouch", and then laughed out of breath: "Ouchi clan and Hosokawa clan, the two most powerful daimyo, in order to seize the best interests of the Great Ming trade, spare no effort to eliminate Japanese pirates, the Japanese royal family I intend to use this to expand the influence of the royal family, so I am very cooperative.

At present, the Ouchi clan and the Hosokawa clan have assembled navy divisions to start a full-scale attack on the Japanese pirates stationed in Satsuma, Nagato, Hakata, and Kahachishima. Anyone who refuses to submit and continue to be thief will be killed. . According to the information returned, at least the main Japanese island is preparing to take advantage of the westward wind. The Japanese pirates who came to the daimyo to plunder have been swept away by the heavy forces assembled by the two daimyo and Hosokawa. The remaining Japanese pirates fled in panic. "

Latest

Yang Ling doubted: "They have always condoned the Japanese pirates~IndoMTL.com~ will really change their sex? I'm also afraid that they will be perfunctory about cooperating with the plagiarism. I can't think of...Is the information accurate?"

Cheng Qiyun smiled and nodded: “It’s true that they are not sincere and kind, but now they have the opportunity to trade with Great Ming, and they want to monopolize the huge profits of the Great Ming trade, so naturally they don’t want the pirates The odds and ends broke the major event. Since the pirates have become a stumbling block for their profit, they naturally kicked it away without mercy.

Yang Ling was secretly worried after hearing this. What he worried was that under the coordination of the Emperor's House, out of common interests, the Ouchi clan and the Hosokawa clan would have another political cooperation based on the military cooperation of the suppression bandits. If the two daimyo govern jointly, then the chaos of Japan's separate governance will soon be subdued. This is obviously something he doesn't want to see. Does Cheng Qiyun mean something bad? "

Thinking of this, Yang Ling hurriedly asked: "What do you mean by something bad?"

Cheng Qiyun smiled bitterly: "I don't know how powerful our navy is now, alas! Ouchi and Hosokawa have worked so hard to suppress bandits. They are convenient to use troops on the island, and pirates are hard to resist, so Simply withdraw from the island, pull up the sails, and join forces with several Japanese pirates, and we have already rushed to Great Ming."
