A room of more than 100 square meters is richly decorated. A dazzling twelve-leaf mica screen divides the room into two sides, with the living room on one side and the master's resting place on the inside.

Cao Dazhong, who was the eunuch of Nanjing, was talking to an official wearing a scarlet official robe, a gold flower belt around his waist, and a peacock embroidered with a patch on his chest.

At this time, Cui Chengxiu was slowly tasting the fragrant tea in his hand, and only after a long time did he put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Gonggong Cao, this official was nine thousand years old before he left, but he was very satisfied with your errand in the past six months, and the silver handed over was as much as more than 300,000 taels of silver, which was twice as much as last year, and Gonggong Wei praised you several times, it seems that at the end of this year, after you return to the capital, there is a chance that you will be transferred to the celebrant supervisor." ”

Cao Dazhong's face was full of smiles, and his fair old face was full of excitement that he couldn't hide, he rubbed his hands and said: "Lord Cui, you have won the award, this is all the cultivation of Grandpa Wei, and with the help of Lord Cui, our family has some achievements today, otherwise it will be difficult for our family to do a good job of the nine thousand years old messenger even if it has three heads and six arms!" ”

"Huh...... Father-in-law Cao is too modest! Cui Chengxiu waved his hand, "Nine thousand years old said, merit is merit, passing is passing, no one can grab it, nine thousand years old will not make meritorious people chill." ”

Speaking of this, Cui Chengxiu's expression slowly became serious, "It's just that the nine thousand years old also asked, has Gonggong Cao been here for so long, has he found out where Yang Feng's goods entered the Ming Dynasty, where did the sailors of their fleet enter the port, have they come into contact with those people, and can they get the route to Obaro." ”

"Well...... this" Cao Dazhong smiled bitterly, he said helplessly: "Master Cui, our family has not thought of a way, but this Yang Feng looks very arrogant, but he has always been secretive about this, he has never talked about this matter with anyone, even his housekeeper is the same, our family has sent a lot of people to inquire secretly, but I have never heard even the slightest news." ”

"How is this possible?" Cui Chengxiu said in disbelief: "Did his things fall from the sky?" ”

"You're right, it's like he's falling from the sky." Cao Dazhong could only smile bitterly, but secretly slandered himself in his heart, it was not that he hadn't inquired about Yang Feng's details these days, but no matter how the people he sent inquired, in the end they all found nothing, and they lost a lot of manpower because of this matter.

Seeing Cao Dazhong's expression, Cui Chengxiu didn't need to ask and knew that the matter must have no result, he still wanted to continue urging, but with a rush of footsteps, Cao Dazhong's godson Xiao Anzi walked in quickly, and saluted Cao Dazhong and Cui Chengxiu respectively, and then said with a happy face: "Godfather, Yang Feng really brought people into the city!" The people sent out by the child just now brought the news that Yang Feng surrounded the Yingtianfu Yamen with hundreds of families, not only snatched back all the seized silver, but also killed a team leader, Wang Xiongyan is now so frightened that he is unconscious."

"Good!"

Cao Dazhong burst out laughing, and his face showed a sense of joy that the conspiracy had succeeded.

"Wang Xiongyan, Wang Xiongyan, didn't you rely on Xu Hongji's power and didn't take our family seriously? How about now, Xiucai met a soldier and was slapped in the face, you also have today! ”

After laughing, Cao Dazhong turned his head and asked, "Xiao Anzi, has our Donglai Shunyin Building been unsealed?" ”

"Unblocked!" Xiao Anzi nodded again and again: "After Yang Feng came out of Yingtianfu, he sent someone to tear off all the seals, and all the shops also reopened. Not only that, but the child also heard that Yang Feng not only took away all the silver that was seized, but he also robbed Wang Xiongyan of all the things he had hidden over the years, and he also paid interest in the name of it. ”

"Interest?"

Cao Dazhong and Cui Chengxiu glanced at each other, and then laughed, "This is really a wicked person has his own evil grinding, Wang Xiongyan probably never dreamed that there would be this day." In the past few years, the scavenged people's fat and ointment have been snatched away by Yang Feng, and it is estimated that he will die of distress! ”

"This Yang Feng, he's really bold!"

After Cui Chengxiu laughed a few times, a trace of worry slowly appeared on his face, "Before I came, the nine thousand years old had instructed the official to see if he could accept this Yang Feng for his own use, but now it seems that this Yang Feng is so unruly and bold, even if he is willing to serve the nine thousand years old, I am afraid it will be a blessing or a curse." ”

"Accept Yang Feng?" Cao Dazhong's face was stunned, and then he said with some tears and laughter: "Our family told Jiu Qiansui about this matter a few months ago, isn't Jiu Qian's heart still dead?" ”

Cui Chengxiu glanced at Cao Dazhong lightly, "Gonggong Cao, you should know that if a person like Yang Feng who holds a wealth road with a daily income and such an unruly temperament can't hold it in his hands, can he rest assured that he is nine thousand years old?" If one day he doesn't cooperate with Donglai Shunyinlou, won't we lose a fortune in vain? ”

Cao Dazhong said angrily: "Then what do you say to do?" Now that Yang Feng is full-fledged, even Wei Guogong and they dare to lead his troops to fight back, what else can we do? ”

"This is the most headache for this official." Cui Chengxiu rubbed his temples helplessly, "Nine thousand years old, Yang Feng must have a route in his hand that can safely reach Obaro, as long as he can get that route, it will be a mountain of gold and silver." ”

Cao Dazhong has nothing to say, going out to sea this year is like breaking through a ghost gate, and half of the ten people can come back is already blessed by God, like the situation that the entire fleet is swallowed by the storm is simply not too much. The reason is that in this era when there is no satellite positioning, no detailed nautical charts, and no sextant, ordinary people can't even tell the difference between southeast and northwest when they get to the sea, and they don't know where they are.

And the things that Yang Feng has been taking out for most of the past half a year have far exceeded the imagination of many people, which is also the reason why they are sure that Yang Feng must have a sailing route in his hand that can safely reach Obaro, and such a sailing route that can be said to be able to make money every day But who doesn't want any family with a bit of power, the reason why Wei Zhongxian wants to subdue Yang Feng is also for this reason.

"If it is a forcible act, the consequence can only be a chicken and an egg, if it arouses Yang Feng's anger, it is not good that even the current one will be lost." Cao Dazhong said with a solemn expression, although he and Yang Feng also calculated each other, but he never tried to move the route in Yang Feng's hand, because he knew very well that once he touched this red line, then the opportunity for friendship between him and Yang Feng before would be gone in an instant, and now the advantage that Donglai Shunyin Building had would also be lost in an instant, so he once again solemnly persuaded.

"Master Cui, we advise you not to try to snatch the line in Yang Feng's hands, otherwise the consequences are not something you and I can bear."

"Okay, let's not talk about him for now." Cui Chengxiu waved his hand with some annoyance, "Next, let's talk about the potato, to be honest, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the pile of freshly dug potatoes yesterday, there is such a magical thing in this world, if I have this divine thing, there will be no famine in the world." The Japanese officials of the Ming Dynasty immediately wrote a secret report to the nine thousand years old, and ordered the Ming Dynasty to plant this thing, so that the Ming Dynasty would no longer have displaced people, and the prestige of the nine thousand years old would also reach its peak in the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Indeed!" Cao Dazhong also nodded approvingly, Wei Zhongxian is his behind-the-scenes boss, the higher Wei Zhongxian's prestige, the more stable his position will be, but he quickly frowned again and said with some hesitation, "It's just that if this thing is promoted to the world, it is inseparable from Yang Feng's support, if so, I'm afraid that this Yang Feng's power will become bigger and bigger, I'm afraid that we have to find a way to transfer it out before we ......." ”

"Huh...... You wait......"

Before Cao Dazhong's words were finished, Cui Chengxiu suddenly shouted, he was originally a little annoyed, and he suddenly showed a flush of excitement, only to see him slap on the table and shout excitedly: "Yes, we can't deal with him here, but we can transfer him away!" ”

"Master Cui, what did you say?" Cao Dazhong was still a little confused.

"Haha, Lord Cao, you are really the lucky star of the official!" Cui Chengxiu excitedly clenched his right fist and slammed it on his left palm, making a crisp snap, "Yang Feng is now fledgling in Jiangningwei, we can't move him easily, but if we transfer him to the border pass, as long as he is transferred away from Jiang Ningwei under the pretext that there is a war at the border pass, without Yang Feng's sitting, who else in Jiang Ningwei can stop us." ”

"Huh......" Cao Dazhong woke up suddenly, and laughed loudly, his voice like a duck echoed in the living room, "Wonderful...... Let's not say that we will remove him, just transfer him to the border for a period of three or five months, recently our family heard that the border war is tight and continue to reinforce, we just need to transfer him to the border pass, and when he is not there, we want to dig out this secret It must be much simpler, our family does not believe that Yang Feng is not there, and his feet here will not be revealed. ”

"Hahaha......"

"Quack Quack ......"

The laughter of the two rang out at the same time, and it sounded particularly infiltrating.

The two said to do it, and soon Cui Chengxiu wrote a memo and a secret report, and sent people to Wei Zhongxian and the cabinet at the same time, and three days later, the official letter and the secret report appeared in the hands of the cabinet and Wei Zhongxian almost at the same time.

When Zhu Youxiao received the recital from the cabinet, he specially asked the eunuch Wang Tiqian to read it out in public on the morning of the second day.

"The minister heard that the Ming Dynasty ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety. Today, Jiang Ningwei commanded Yang Feng to offer a divine potato with a yield of more than 4,000 catties per mu, which is really the blessing of my Ming Dynasty. This thing is not only high yield, and also extremely drought tolerant, and now I am starving all over the place, if this thing is vigorously promoted in the Ming Dynasty, it can solve hundreds of people and famine, it is really a meritorious move. The minister implored His Majesty to issue an edict to implement this thing in Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places, and if it is successful, it can be fully implemented in the Ming Dynasty......"

After Wang Tiqian finished reading, the entire Jinluan Hall was silent, and none of the hundred officials said a word. The officials who danced the most happily and scolded Yang Feng the most, including the Imperial Historian, all practiced the closed-mouth meditation, and one by one put on the most standard standing posture with their eyes and noses.

Zhu Youxiao, who was full of red faces, looked forward to everyone's faces for a while, and then said to Gu Bingqian, who was standing at the front of the hundred officials: "Gu Aiqing, this letter must have been seen by your cabinet." The two successive Qincha have proved that the recital sent by Yang Feng and Cao Dazhong last time is true, what else do you have to say this time? ”

Gu Bingqian, who was named by name, stood up helplessly and bowed to Zhu Youxiao and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed the old minister's lack of thought, and the old minister is willing to apologize to Your Majesty." ”

"Apologize?" Zhu Youxiao's face turned cold, and he pointed at the officials below and scolded: "At the beginning, everyone pointed at the sky and scolded the earth, and they couldn't wait to cut Yang Feng and Cao Dazhong with a thousand knives. Originally, the first Qincha had confirmed that what Yang Feng said was indeed true, but you still didn't want to believe it. Okay, I have sent a second Qincha, and now Cui Chengxiu has also made an excerpt to confirm that this is true, do you still want me to send a third Qincha? ”

The hundred officials were still collectively silent, and in the end, it was Li Zongyan, the imperial historian of the Zuodu, who stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you have indeed done something wrong in this matter. But they can't be blamed for this matter, after all, the matter of thousands of catties per mu is really too appalling, there has never been such a thing for thousands of years, and it is normal for you to have doubts, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive you. ”

"Forgiveness...... Hum! Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, but he also knew that he could not remove all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, after all, the country still relied on them to govern. Seeing the faces of these ministers, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but miss the guy who forced him to run and talked to him every day.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, this Yang Feng and the officials he is used to seeing are simply two kinds of people. On his face, he couldn't see the groveling and submissive look of the eunuch and the servant, nor could he see the shameless face of these ministers in front of him who scolded people when they had nothing to do and avoided them when they had something. During the period when he lived with Yang Feng, Yang Feng just talked to him like a friend, telling him about the outside world, the disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty, and also stating the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty, and clearly pointed out that if the state of the Ming Dynasty is not changed, the Ming Dynasty, a dynasty that has lasted for more than 200 years, will inevitably collapse.

To tell the truth, when Zhu Youxiao heard Yang Feng say these things, it was almost like listening to the book of heaven, but then he pondered slowly and found that what Yang Feng said was indeed reasonable, and gradually Yang Feng's weight in his heart became heavier and heavier, but it was a pity that this person was not from the imperial examination, otherwise he would have transferred him to the court and let him give him advice.

Just as Zhu Youxiao was pondering, a voice broke the silence in the court.
