"Come, Gui Rong, I've seen your Uncle Ziying,......" Jia Lian's face was full of satisfaction and pride, the Xuanhu leg coat on his body should be newly purchased, and this purple silk silk jacket, this body set off the talents of this guy very well.

"Gui Rong has seen his uncle." Wu Nong spoke softly, but there was some accent from Suzhou and Hangzhou, with a good face, thin eyebrows and red lips, eyes like paint, and indeed a bit of posture, coupled with that delicate and weak appearance, it was estimated that Jia Lian would enter the Yan when he touched it.

Feng Ziying just arched her hand and nodded.

Jia Lian didn't care, this kind of concubine room secretly accepted outside was actually equivalent to the outer room, if it wanted to become an official concubine, it had to be carried back to the house.

It's not that he didn't think that Wang Xifeng had a hard time, but when facing the deep love of beauties, he did lack some resistance ability, and under Wang Xifeng's long-term strength, the tactfulness and coquettishness of this woman really made him unable to extricate himself.

After a glass of wine, the woman went back to the room, and Feng Ziying muttered, "Second Brother Lian, are you serious?" ”

"What's the matter, Brother Keng, just allow you to keep the two of you outside, and your second brother Lian can't accept this one?" Jia Lian complained half-truthfully, "You don't know your second sister-in-law's temperament, the second brother has been aggrieved in the house for a long time, and it's hard to relax when you come out, don't block the second brother, okay?" ”

The last sentence had a bit of a pleading flavor in it, Feng Ziying couldn't help but sigh, it's hard to say more.

"But Brother Cong, although this Gui Rong is the second brother, it is also a little weird." Jia Lian and Feng Ziying sat on the kang through the lacquer and gold table, with two pillows stuffed behind them.

"Oh?" Feng Ziying asked nonchalantly, "What's the weird method?" ”

"This is also what the second brother only learned about later, and it also made the second brother a little nervous, but the second brother thought that you were doing something big, as long as you knew the reason inside, there would naturally be a way to deal with it, so I was down-to-earth." Jia Lian's speech slowed down, "Second brother, I was idle, I went to the Wutong Garden to eat and listen to the drama by chance, and then I went a lot, so I slowly became familiar with it, and someone led me to the tassel garden next door,......"

Feng Ziying's expression remained unchanged, in fact, he had already sensed some problems before, but he didn't have Jia Lian's interest.

With the level of the girl just now, even in Yangzhou Skinny Mali, it is definitely a good product, if there is no one or two thousand taels of silver, I am afraid that I will not be able to take it.

Jia Lian came out of Beijing, just in case, and brought out only eight hundred taels of silver, although there was not much consumption along the way, it was similar here in Lin Ruhai, but there was always an expense.

Whether it is such an abrupt concubine or an outer room, the cost is at least a few thousand taels, and even the expenses during this period of time must be calculated, can Lin Ruhai pay the bills for him?

Apparently impossible.

This Yangzhou is not as good as Jinling, and Jia Lian can still borrow silver, there must be some problems.

However, it seems that Jia Lian is not stupid, and he is aware of the problems inside, which makes Feng Ziying feel a little better.

"......, I didn't know before, but Gui Rong's girl is from a white family, but her family has been sold since she was a child, since I like her, I naturally have to think about how long she is, she is such a talent, I have also inquired that there are no two or three thousand taels of can't be beaten, but I can't get so much silver,......"

Jia Lian babbled a little, and Feng Ziying understood that someone was half-buying and half-giving land to win over Jia Lian, or to curry favor with Jia Lian.

But what does Jia Lian have to be courted by outsiders? Its goals are not known.

"Ziying, your second brother doesn't have much ability in his life, and he is also a nest in the house, even Ping'er's girl is nominally my room, but this Sister Feng has been married for a few years, and she has never let me get involved, you said that I, the eldest son of Rongguo Mansion, should be a lord in the future, is it a little aggrieved?"

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Jia Lian's face began to turn blue, and his words began to increase, "......, after this incident, when my mother talked about ransom Guirong, she swore that she would not want it, which made your second brother also flustered, and then later, she said that she wanted three thousand five hundred taels of silver, but where could your second brother get it, until one day,......"

“……”

There is no doubt that someone has been eyeing his relationship with the Jia family, and has even figured out the relationship between himself and Lin Ruhai, Feng Ziying is not surprised.

If you come to Yangzhou to transfer salt in these two Huaidu, you will stay in the Yamen for too long and go in and out too many times, which will definitely attract the attention of people with a heart.

This yamen is not a place where needles can't be inserted into the water and splashed in, and if you think of a little way to spend some silver, you can get the news you want.

It's just that I didn't expect the other party to take the curve to save the country, and started with Jia Lian first.

can look at this posture, people have no obscure meaning, and they are not afraid to let people know about their existence.

Jia Lian can honestly tell himself that Feng Ziying is still very satisfied, don't come to "confess" after revealing her stuff at the end, it will hurt her feelings.

It is estimated that Jia Lian actually understands a little, knowing that people are coming for Feng Ziying, he is a bridge board, and if he can help introduce or say a few good words, it will be considered a goal.

Looking at it this way, this person who made a move is really not simple, which makes Feng Ziying a little interested.

I came to Yangzhou this time, and I came to Yangzhou for people from all walks of life, and there was only one purpose, silver.

Chai Ke returned to Beijing and specially summoned Feng Ziying to talk twice, talking about the current predicament in Western Xinjiang.

It is very difficult to supply grain and grass, and the transportation consumption is too great.

The money collected by the imperial court during the suppression of the rebellion is now very small, which also includes the expenses of the entire Gansu and Ningxia towns, and now there is more consumption in Shazhou, and the next step is to prepare for the recovery of Hami's food and materials, so he, the right attendant of the military department and the governor of the three sides, can't sit still.

But now the household department really has no money, and it is difficult to count on the emperor's inner treasury.

Chai Ke still knows some about the situation, this emperor is not a miser, but the emperor did not leave him any foundation, and he also has to grasp the income of the two Huai salt affairs in his hands, so it will lead to such difficulties at the moment.

Before leaving, Emperor Yonglong, Ye Xianggao, Qi Yongtai, and even Zheng Jizhi, Guan Yingzhen and others summoned him in turn.

The purpose of Emperor Yonglong, Ye Xianggao and Zheng Jizhi was not on Yinzhuang, and the urgency of reality forced them to focus on the issue of the royalty that could be collected immediately, hoping that Zhongshu could immediately come up with a corresponding strategy.

Even after Feng Ziying went south this time, he could take action, and contact these maritime merchants who were interested in participating in advance, so that they could have a number in their hearts, and it was best to go to Beijing immediately to discuss the payment of the concession fee, and the imperial court was waiting for this silver emergency.

As for the issue of borrowing, everyone knows that it cannot be solved all at once, and it is necessary to first assess the future revenue of the Great Zhou Sea Tax before we can talk about the problem of borrowing.

Qi Yongtai's summoning dialogue attaches great importance to this silver village, which may be related to Feng Ziying's detailed introduction to the future operation model of the silver village and the support for the industry, Feng Ziying focused on the need to support some industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood in the north, such as in the iron smelting industry, the north has certain conditions and advantages, but this requires major investment in technical improvement.

Steelmaking may be the only industry that can promote the northern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty to occupy an advantage, Feng Ziying knows a little about the evolution of steelmaking technology, but for him, he only knows a vague process improvement, how to do it, he is at a loss, and this must ultimately be implemented to the craftsmen engaged in this industry.

No matter what era the demand for steel is huge, just the military demand, can make this industry flourish, continue to move forward, from armor to cold weapons to hot weapons, which is inseparable from the massive amount of steel, and with the development of the shipbuilding industry, the demand for steel will also grow.

The steel industry has always been an industry that requires a lot of investment, especially when facing the need to constantly try to break through the old process and innovate the new process, this investment may be even greater.

Feng Ziying also reminded Qi Yongtai of this point, but it is obvious that Qi Yongtai doesn't care much about this, an industry that can boost the economy of the north is enough to surpass any existing difficulties, and it is brought out from the mouth of his proud disciple Feng Ziying, Qi Yongtai believes that it is absolutely valuable.

Feng Ziying didn't expect that his teacher was so confident in him now, but he could also understand Qi Yongtai's pressure.

As the current leader of the Beidi people, seeing the economic development momentum of Jiangnan getting better and better, his pressure can be imagined.

The strategy of opening the sea also seems to support the north, but in fact, everyone understands that once the strategy of opening the sea is really fully opened, the two Guangzhou, Fujian and Zhejiang and Nanzhili will get the biggest dividend, and the development of sea trade and its possible ancillary industries alone can make the gap between Jiangnan and the north widen and widen, and this sense of urgency does not make Qi Yongtai feel pressure.

But the development of every industry depends on the support of capital, especially an industry like steel, which is a money-burning industry, from ancient times to the present.

Chai Ke and Feng Ziying's conversation is also very simple, raise funds as much as possible, Xijiang can't bear it, Liaodong and Xuanda are probably the same, in a word, raise more money in a short period of time as much as possible, no matter which way it is taken.

Therefore, Feng Ziying's original idea of wanting to take a good time to run Yinzhuang first according to her established path was not good, and she could only concentrate on a few things.

Since high hopes were given, the imperial court would naturally give enough power, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate and even Long Banwei were instructed to fully cooperate with Feng Ziying's work.

This is almost the same as holding Shang Fang's sword, but Feng Ziying also knows that this kind of Shang Fang's sword is best suspended in the air.
