Chapter 219: Bargaining
Now, Hu Mang has spoken, and he is still speaking with Leng Feng's qualifications and identity, how dare others not, under the action of Qi Qi at the moment, he sat back on the original stool.
Everyone fell silent, and Tiger Mang's eyes showed a look of satisfaction. "I know that you are very dissatisfied with Emperor Ming's actions towards the Sixth Young Master. But please remember, why did the Sixth Young Master do this? Isn't it to create more time for you to develop? ”
"Everyone was originally a Ming person, and for you, there are many relatives and friends living in this land. If the sixth young master does not seek justice and chooses to start a war with the Ming army, then I don't know how many unjust souls will be affected and die, and there may be your relatives and friends among them, if so, is this result what you are willing to see? Hu Mang asked everyone loudly.
"Of course not. I don't think anyone wants to see their own people beating their own people. And in order to give us more time for development, and in order to allow more people of the Ming Dynasty, our Han family children will suffer less from the war, and the sixth young master has been dealing with the Ming Emperor in Beijing. I hope you can understand that today's events are a kind of warning for you, so that you can have a sense of urgency. If you can increase your strength earlier, then the sixth young master will be less responsible, do you know? ”
"Clear!" Another uniform sound sounded, causing the entire compound to seem to shake.
"Very well, now continue to eat." Seeing that he did not live up to the expectations of the sixth young master, Hu Mang said the good intentions of the sixth young master, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and then threw a look at Leng Song.
Leng Song immediately said that he understood, and with the cooperation of him and the three battalion commanders, the atmosphere at the scene became warm again. It's just that although everyone no longer said anything, they all held back a lot of energy in their hearts, that is, to behave better, so that the sixth young master could have the qualifications to have an equal dialogue with Emperor Ming one day earlier.
In the side hall of Yangjiazhuang's outer house, Jin Ying just sat down, and there was a loud roar outside the door, which immediately startled him. He was nervous and immediately stood up, looking like he was going to run away at any moment.
However, Yang Er, who was in charge of accompanying and guiding the way, did not look panicked at all when he heard the shouts outside. When he saw Jin Ying acting so nervous, he said in a very indifferent tone: "It's okay, this is just a ritual when the mercenaries eat, and it won't be strange if you hear it too much." ”
Yang Er's explanation made Jin Ying's body slowly relax, "I see, this is really a strange rule." ”
"Hahaha, what a strange performance." In the main entrance, Yang Chendong, who was dressed in a new green coat, strode in. At this moment, where is he still a little drunk, he seems to be very energetic, ten people are sober.
It's just that at this moment, Jin Ying doesn't care so much, even if the will is read, is it still necessary to pinch the past? Seeing Yang Chendong coming over, he also got up with laughter, "Congratulations to the loyal and courageous father." ”
"Haha, I can be a natural father in the future, right?" Yang Chendong laughed loudly, and came to the first seat in the side hall. It wasn't until he sat down that he pointed to the first position on the left side and said to Jin Ying: "Gonggong Jin doesn't have to be polite, sit down." ”
This move immediately caused Jin Ying's unhappiness again.
Although he is just a eunuch, his identity is not fake. But he is the head of the eunuchs, the red man around the emperor, and he has great power in his hands. Usually when he is with other important ministers, which time is not he who sits first, others can sit down, and the worst is to sit at the same time.
Don't underestimate the order of this seat, it often represents the level of status, which is very particular.
But at this moment, Yang Chendong actually sat down first, which allowed Jin Ying to sit down, and he didn't even say a word of invitation. The dominance of the landlords is already clear.
I was extremely displeased in my heart, and looked left and right. When he noticed that there were only Yang Chendong and Yang Er in the room besides himself, thinking that it would not be a loss of face if no outsiders saw him, he suppressed the anger in his heart and slowly sat down.
Yang Chendong deliberately snubbed Jin Ying, what he did was to suppress the other party's momentum, and now it seems that everything is going very smoothly, and Yang Chendong, who has a certain degree of dominance, will negotiate with him. When it is said to be a negotiation, it is actually a struggle for interests.
According to the original plan in his heart, Yang Chendong put forward three conditions.
First, Yangjia Bank officially started business, and after Jingshi, it will be promoted one by one in other nearby big cities. The imperial court must not stop it, let alone play any tricks in private. In short, Yang Chendong will be a businessman in the future, and he will still be a big businessman. No one provokes him, and he will not use his power to oppress others.
Second, for their own personal safety. Four hundred mercenaries will leave two hundred. One hundred of them are in Yangjiazhuang and one hundred are in Jingshi, respectively ensuring the safety of the Immortal Residence, Tianwaitian and Yangjia Bank. In the future, depending on the situation, whether to continue to hire mercenaries. At this point, Yang Chendong showed that he was wealthy.
Third, Yang Chendong will not go to the court, nor will he participate in any court politics, let alone the affairs between Daizong and Yingzong, he will become the existence of a third-party force in a transcendent position.
For these three requirements. The first point is that Dai Zong has already agreed, and even said that he will deposit 500,000 taels of silver into the Yang family's bank, so there is no need to discuss anything. Jin Ying agreed in one bite. As for the second point, he could not doubt it either. If people have money, they can hire mercenaries, which can only make people greedy. is the third point, Jin Yingduo is dissatisfied, which means that Daizong has put forward a request, that is, even if you are a loyal and courageous prince of Emperor Daizong, you should stand on this side.
"I saved Yingzong's life. It's impossible for me to completely dissociate myself from it. Daizong is also good to his father, and it is not easy to do it without helping each other, so there is no need to say anything else. Yang Chendong shook his head and said with a very firm attitude.
Jin Ying could see that Yang Chendong did not have the slightest intention of backing down on these three requirements. After hesitating for a while, thinking that Warat had already withdrawn the army, and there was no need for Yang Chendong to make a move for the time being, even if this was the case, it would be a good choice if the two did not help each other, and it would not hurt to agree. But agreeing that it is okay, Jin Ying also put forward three requirements.
First, everyone doesn't help each other, Yang Chendong is just loyal and courageous, and he has no other powers, even the previous position of Jinyiwei's command must be revoked, even if he wants to retreat, he will retreat cleanly.
Second, Yang Chendong was not allowed to prevent Daizong's close relationship with the mercenaries.
On this issue, Kim Ying said very clearly. He even said that he already knew that the Loyal Duke had a good relationship with the leader of the mercenaries.
Jin Ying thought that he had said this, and Yang Chendong would be embarrassed to some extent, and even have an explanation. Unexpectedly, Yang Dashao didn't mean to speak, but continued to say aloud, "Let's talk about the third point." ”
The reason why Yang Chendong doesn't care so much is naturally because what Jin Ying knows is what he deliberately leaked. The mere fact that he had a good relationship with the leader of the mercenary showed his ignorance. In fact, it's not just a good relationship, but it's just a person.
"Well, the third point, even if you are a businessman, you have to pay business tax, which is also a matter of course. Of course, the Ming army and the Jinyi Guard who received the money will also protect the Yang family's property. Jin Ying smiled, it seemed to be saying again, if you pay the tax, you will naturally have someone to protect you, if you don't pay the tax, then I'm sorry, don't come to us when someone makes trouble.
Yang Chendong had already considered paying taxes, and he had even thought of countermeasures. It's just that even though Jin Ying put it forward, the rights and interests that should be fought for are still necessary. "Oh, then I don't know how Grandpa Jin collects taxes?"
"The law of the Ming Dynasty requires agriculture to be thirty to one." Kim Young asked tentatively. This was originally the result of previous discussions with Jin Lian, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Yiming, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Shi Pu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.
The three Shangshu agreed that if they want to curb Yang Chendong's development, they must draw business taxes. As a result, not only can a large amount of silver be obtained from it to fill the treasury, but Yang Chendong's development can also be hindered.
Among the dignified people, there are people who make money faster than the state, and if they are not restrained by means, they will be able to pay it back.
"It can't be." Yang Chendong shook his head very dryly. "A ratio of thirty to one will not be accepted by my father."
Yang Chendong replied so neatly that he immediately defeated Jin Ying's army. His face was first implied with anger, angry that Yang Chendong's attitude was so resolute, but as soon as he thought of the benefits that could be obtained from the matter, he immediately said: "Well, I don't know how much business tax is appropriate to collect according to the meaning of loyalty and courage?" ”
"Hmm." Yang Chendong said with a contemplative look: "Although there is no provision in the Da Ming Law, in fact, the powerful do not have to pay taxes when doing business, just like scholars do not need to pay taxes for farming, but now you have to collect the commercial tax of your own government, so no matter how much you pay, it is inappropriate, right?" ”
How Jin Ying didn't understand the truth in this. But who let other people do business and farm just to support their families, but Yang Chendong is using it to develop a powerful force? It's like the mercenary he hired, that's a full two hundred, according to the standard of normal fees, it also needs two million hiring fees, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that there is no one else except Yang Chendong who can take it out so effortlessly. Even if the royal family takes out these, it will be distressed.
