Different people have different views on different things from different perspectives, and for themselves, it may be a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning, or it may be a major event related to lifelong happiness in their hearts.

The slightest contempt of one's own attitude may have a huge impact on their psychology and emotions.

Feng Ziying thinks that he is not a virgin, but he still feels that he should give a better return to the people around him, especially those who are friendly, close and caring to him, which is the basic creed and criterion of being a man and a man.

Xiangling is a sincere person and doesn't realize this.

She just simply felt that if Miss Bao could marry, then she would naturally follow Baochai, and Baochai's gentle and generous temperament also made her feel at ease, but the master seemed to be interested in Miss Bao, but there was never a statement, which made her anxious, but she couldn't help.

"Master, what do you think?" Xiangling raised her gaze, her slightly red cheeks seemed to be a little green, and the red rouge mole in the heart of her moon-like forehead eyebrows was even more enchanting and moving.

"Silly girl, what my mother and aunt mean are you and Jin Chu'er willing to accept the house now, or wait a year or two, well, wait for the grandfather to get married and then come to the house?" Feng Ziying sighed and shook her head, this girl must not have any opinions, it is estimated that Jin Chu'er has to come up with ideas, but Jin Chu'er and Xiangling may not be of the same mind.

Sure enough, Xiangling's face was filled with panic and hesitation, "Master, the slave doesn't know, the wife and the aunt just said that, and the slave didn't make a sound when she saw Jin Chu'er,......"

Shaking her head, Feng Ziying also expected this, but I am afraid that Jin Chu'er is also entangled now, there are pros and cons, such things, even if they are not easy to predict, let alone them?

"What if you want to marry Baochai?" Feng Ziying looked at Xiangling and said.

"Ah, you want to marry Miss Bao?" Xiangling's voice trembled with joy, and her eyes were full of hope, "The slave is still willing to wait until Miss Bao marries, and follow Miss Bao,......, just the master, you are not deceiving the slave maid, right?" ”

"Is the master a deception?" Feng Ziying smiled, and couldn't help pinching a handful of Xiangling's handsome powder, and hugged Xiangling's waist, "After all, I will let your master and servant fulfill their wishes, I didn't expect Sister Bao to be able to win your heart so much, even the master is a little jealous." ”

"Master, slave maid ......" Xiangling suddenly panicked, and hurriedly wanted to explain, Feng Ziying chuckled: "No need to explain, if you want to explain tonight, you can explain it well when you accompany you in bed tonight,......"

*******

Shanxi Hall is undoubtedly a very prominent building complex in Jingshi City, and everyone knows if you ask a question in Jingshi City.

It is located at the intersection of Chongwenmenli Street and Xiaoshun Hutong, covers an area of 80 acres, can be described as pavilions and pavilions, the water corridor of the water curve, the water drawn from the Paozi River actually made a lotus pond of ten acres in the courtyard, which can be described as full of elegance.

It is the Dongting Hall in Suzhou Hutong, the Chunshu Hutong in Qingfang, the Huguang Hall next to the Shangjiaotou and the ceremonial room, and the Huizhou Hall next to the Four Translation Hall outside Dong'an Gate, and is called the Four Great Halls of Beijing.

In the conference hall in the middle of the hall, there were more than a dozen people sitting sparsely, all of them frowning.

"Shaoquan, the post has been sent in a few times, but people don't reply to the post at all, what's the matter?" The old man with dry eyebrows finally raised his gaze, "Didn't you say that you have some friendship with this Feng Xiu?" ”

"Fan Bo, friendship also depends on the depth, but also depends on the time, more than four years ago in Linqing, who would have thought that he would have this creation?" Wang Shaoquan smiled bitterly, "You must know that he has such a ability, so I sacrificed my life to accompany him to Dongchang Mansion that day." ”

"But he always has a request for us, isn't his father the chief soldier of Yulin? Well, even if his father is promoted to the governor of the three sides,......" The old man with a dry face said this, his mouth was knotted, as if he felt that his tone was a little too big, sighed, and then said: "The Duan family is always from Shanxi, and there are still some origins, not to mention that we can also contribute to him in the future, why favor one over the other?" ”

"Yes, what Fan Gong said is true, we and other Shanshan merchants are all merchants from the Northland, and they have something to do with their Feng family, why do they take care of the Jiangnan merchants in every way, but treat us as enemies?"

"Don't you think that the sea trade is beneficial to them, and if they are familiar with the sea trade, they can benefit it, but it is not beneficial to us who are all land merchants?"

"Not really, doesn't it mean that this person goes out early and returns late, except for Wenyuan Pavilion and the Sixth Division, he doesn't go to other places at all, and other people can't do their best?"

"So what does this mean? Don't you want to be a lonely minister, but ask the emperor to favor him, but ignore others? ”

"Is it possible? The strategy of opening the sea was proposed by him, but he dared to call himself a lonely minister? Who doesn't know that this strategy of opening up the sea has touched a lot of interests, and it needs the support of all parties in the north and south before it can be made. ”

A group of merchants in the hall were already arguing.

Wang Shaoquan shook his head, ignored the others, and just said to the ugly Fan Gong: "Fan Gong, in my opinion, this Lord Feng Xiu may not really have any prejudices against our Shanshan merchants, but it may be that in the early stage, he felt that our Shanshan businessmen couldn't intervene and couldn't help much, so he treated us coldly,......

Fan Gong groaned.

The hall also slowly fell silent.

Most of them have already posted to Fengfu, but none of them have received a response.

This makes it difficult for Shanxi businessmen, who are known as the only two in the world to be the only ones in the world, to put down their face.

"What about the Imperial Merchants?" Fan Gong said slowly.

"Gong Fan, the imperial merchants have not moved for the time being." Wang Shaoquan smiled bitterly, "But the imperial merchants may be different, they have the emperor." ”

"Hmph, who doesn't know the relationship between the Emperor and the current saint?" Fan Gong disagreed, "This Feng Xiu is only afraid and may not be unclear, his teachers Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia, how can they not know the reason?" ”

Wang Shaoquan was speechless, but finally shook his head: "Duke Fan, the imperial merchant, we don't care, we still have to consider it from ourselves." ”

"Oh?" Fan Gong moved slightly, "What do you think?" ”

"The strategy of opening the sea, the first priority is sea trade, but sea trade is indeed the advantage of Jiangnan merchants, especially the merchants of Fujian and Zhejiang, the advantages in these aspects are not comparable to us, but even so, this Feng Xiu does not seem to be much polite to Jiangnan businessmen, it is rumored that his shot is to Fujian maritime merchants to serve in Denglai, otherwise it is self-isolation from the ,......imperial court."

Although this matter is secret, but for the Shanshan merchant gang, it is not a secret, Feng Ziying and his party went south to the south of the Yangtze River, wandering around such a big circle, naturally it is impossible to hide it from people with intentions, and its actions in Ningbo have long been coveted.

"Shaoquan, do you mean that this son is cold-faced and ruthless, only looking at interests, and whoever wants to enter his eyes must have a name?" Fan Gong hesitated.

Wang Shaoquan shook his head, "Fan Gong misunderstood, I mean, this son is very good at taking advantage of the situation and driving people to fall into the net, don't you think that he is also targeting us now?" Wang Shaoquan sighed slightly: "Even though our Shanxi merchants are not as important as these merchants in the south of the Yangtze River in the strategy of opening the sea, but the ultimate goal of the strategy of opening the sea is the nine sides, which is the unanimous goal of our northern scholars, Feng Keng is also a representative of the northern scholars, and it is impossible not to understand this goal, but he deliberately snubbs our Shanxi merchants, don't you think this is deliberately forcing us to take the initiative to enter the country?" ”

Fan Gong's color changed slightly, "This son is fishing?" ”

Fishing is more than patience.

Wang Shaoquan smiled bitterly and nodded, "It's just that we know what about fishing?" He is a fisherman, and I wait for a fish, and I don't bite the hook, but I am afraid that next time he will use a fishing net to catch fish. ”

Fan Gong sneered, "He's not afraid that the fish will die and the net will be broken?" ”

"There are Jiangnan businessmen who have invested in the effect, and maybe there are imperial businessmen at both ends of the first rat, he simply won't cast the net, so what about us? Just in the water and watching the water slowly dry up? Wang Shaoquan also sneered, this Fan seems to be a little floating.

Fan Gong was silent.

Of course, he knew that his words were just momentary words, but the Shanshan businessman was not at the mercy of others, and he also had his own backstage and spokesperson.

"Fan Gong, I know what you're thinking." Wang Shaoquan further said: "But if the strategy of opening the sea completely abandons our Shanxi merchants, in my opinion, it means that the focus of the imperial court in the next few years will be put on the outside, and we will not be able to participate, so naturally we will not be able to intervene, which is probably not a good thing." ”

Fan Gong didn't understand this truth.

It's not a question of making money or not, it's that this marginalization is very dangerous.

When a group is marginalized in the court, it means that you are dispensable and not of much use to the court.

People or dogs who are not of much use have a word to describe it, rabbits and dead dogs are cooked, and birds are hidden.

Then maybe the next step is not that you can't participate in the new distribution of benefits, but that your original interests may be redistributed by others, because you have no right to speak.

So Wang Shaoquan's words made him suddenly sober up a lot.

"Shaoquan, you're right, this is what our gang is most worried about now." Fan Gong's face finally became solemn and serious, "Before, I thought it seemed that the imperial court had snubbed us, but now it seems that it is not that the imperial court has snubbed us, but that we have not participated more actively, and our attitude is not positive enough,......"

Wang Shaoquan finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this guy finally understood that the situation in front of him was different from before.

I had previously reminded him that once the southern Liaoning-Denglai route was opened, it would not only be that the logistics support of eastern Liaoning would no longer need the help of Shanxi merchants, but the importance of the strategic support line from the north through western Liaoning to eastern Liaoning would be greatly weakened.

The loss of interests of the Shanshan merchant gang, which originally monopolized this trade route, is a trivial matter, and the key is that this means that the goods in the south of the Yangtze River may be shipped directly from Nanzhi and Fujian and Zhejiang to Beizhi, Shandong and Liaodong.

This will be a devastating blow to the Shanshan merchant gang entrenched in Beizhi and Shandong, if the Shanshan merchant gang cannot participate in this trade system.
