Chapter 425: Departure

Seeing Wei Zhongxian put on a posture that was not far away, Yang Feng was not surprised, it would be bad if Wei Zhongxian showed him an expression like seeing his own brother.

Yang Feng smiled slightly: "Ben Hou has long heard that Dongchang is prosperous under the leadership of Wei Gonggong, Ben Hou must have heard about what Wei Gonggong has been doing in Fujian these days, although Fujian is far away from the capital and the real estate is barren, but the place is close to the coast, and the geographical location is very important." A few days ago, Ben Hou rebuilt the Fujian Navy Division in Fujian, but although Ben Hou had silver, he lacked qualified craftsmen, so that the speed of shipbuilding was never fast, and Ben Hou was sad about his gray hair. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Feng glanced at Wei Zhongxian with his spare eyes, and found that he still had a faint smile on his face, and he didn't speak, and he couldn't help but curse the old fox in his heart. He continued: "When Ben Hou checked, he found that most of the shipbuilders in Fujian were all in the hands of those maritime merchants, and when Ben Hou was ordered to open the sea ban in Fujian, it touched the interests of those maritime merchants, so they united to resist Ben Hou. It stands to reason that Ben Hou could forcibly recruit these shipbuilding craftsmen, but these maritime merchants moved those craftsmen to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which made Ben Hou at a loss, so Ben Hou hoped to get the help of Wei Gonggong. ”

When he said this, Yang Feng saw that Wei Zhongxian still had a faint expression, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart, this old fox's shelf was too full, and he took the initiative to visit him to express his sincerity, but he held the shelf again and again, did he really think that he couldn't do anything about him?

Although he was very unhappy in his heart, Yang Feng was not shallow enough to brush his sleeves away, he glanced at Wei Zhongxian deeply before he said slowly: "Father-in-law Wei, Ben Hou knows that Dongchang is quite powerful in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so he hopes that his father-in-law will use the power of Dongchang to find a group of craftsmen for Ben Hou, the more the better." Of course, Ben Hou is not to let Dongchang help in vain, Ben Hou can promise you, in the future, if Dongchang has a ship to and from Dongying or Nanyang, you can hang the banner of Fujian Sailor, what do you think? ”

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian's expression, which was originally just showing a faint smile, finally changed, and a gleam appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly asked, "Master Hou, is this true?" ”

Yang Feng smiled: "Of course, when did Grandpa Wei hear that my Yang someone's words don't count?" ”

"That's right." Wei Zhongxian nodded, although Yang Feng's reputation is very polarized, people who like him praise him as the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty, and those who hate him scold him as a bloody butcher who mutilates Zhongliang, but one thing is recognized, that is, this guy's reputation, as long as this guy promises something, he will not break his promise.

Wei Zhongxian took the teacup on the table and used the action of drinking tea, but his heart turned quickly.

It is a person who knows how big the benefits of going to sea are, an ordinary porcelain that is not worth much money in the Ming Dynasty to Nanyang or Dongying, its value will be four or five times the benefit, if you have the ability to get the goods to Obaro to sell the benefits will collapse and even reach more than ten times or even dozens of times, which is also the reason why although the sea is full of dangers, there are not many people who die on the sea every year, but there are still so many people who follow one after another.

Does Grandpa Wei love money? The answer is yes, most of the people who have been eunuchs have lost the following thing, it can be said that the desire for life has been reduced by more than half, and they have transferred all their hobbies to yellow and white things, and our father-in-law Wei is naturally no exception, as soon as he heard Yang Feng's promise to allow Dongchang to hang the flag of Fujian Sailor if there is a ship to go to sea, he was immediately moved.

Yes, Yang Feng didn't say how much silver he would give him directly, but this promise was more heartwarming than gold. Dongchang is famous in Daming, but its reputation is limited to the territory of Daming, and you will know who you are when you come out of the Ming ghost.

And the ships and sailors on the sea are not only facing bad natural weather, but also the ubiquitous pirates, and now Yang Feng promised that the ships of Dongchang can fly the flag of the Fujian Navy, which means that Yang Feng promised that the ships of the Dongchang can be protected by the Fujian Sailors at sea, this promise is very tempting.

Wei Zhongxian didn't have long to think, and soon he patted his thigh and smiled: "Okay...... Since the Hou Ye has said so, how can our family not agree. It's just that I don't know how many craftsmen Hou Ye hopes to get? ”

"The more the merrier!" Yang Feng said without hesitation: "Ben Hou is not afraid to tell you that this year alone, Ben Hou has invested two million taels of silver in the Fujian Navy, and in addition to feeding the 8,000 officers and soldiers of the Navy, the rest of the silver is all used to build ships, how many craftsmen do you say are needed?" ”

"Two million taels?"

Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but smash his mouth, it seems that this person really can't be compared with people. Look at other people, there are four million taels of silver handed over to His Majesty every year, and he did not hesitate to take out two million taels of silver to build a sailor. Look at yourself again, although Father-in-law Wei has been holding silver in his arms all these years, the silver he has earned in the past few years is not enough for others to leak out, and the difference is too big.

"Okay...... If we take our family later, we will send an official letter to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and ask them to help find craftsmen, and there will be news in a month at most! "For the sake of the little money, our father-in-law Wei agreed very happily.

After discussing the matter, Yang Feng got up to say goodbye, and Wei Zhongxian did not keep him, but just sent him to the door and said goodbye.

Before dawn on the sixth day of the seventh month of the seventh month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Yang Feng led hundreds of family members to leave the capital quietly, just like when he came......

For Yang Feng's departure, many people were very reluctant, but some people were overjoyed, this plague god finally left, and they no longer had to live in fear.

In the secret room, a middle-aged man's voice rang out.

"Did that man finally leave?"

"Yes, my lord, that person did leave, and the villain saw him leave with a thousand Jiang Ning troops who came to greet him. And the villains have already figured out that they are going in the direction of Tianjin. ”

"Alright, you go down."

"Whoa!"

After the messenger left, the middle-aged man opened the curtain behind him, and a ray of sunlight came through the window to illuminate the secret room, revealing the face of the middle-aged man, this person was none other than Qian Qianyi, who came to the capital to seek officials.

During this time, Zhu Youxiao has begun to gradually clean up the power of the Donglin Party in the capital, but in order to avoid overstimulating the Donglin Party and causing them to counterattack, Zhu Youxiao still made some appropriate concessions, for example, a few days ago he approved Qian Qianyi's reinstatement of the excerpt and appointed Qian Qianyi as the prefect of Ningbo.

After the person who reported the news left, Qian Qianyi smiled bitterly at Li Qiyuan, who was sitting next to him: "This plague god is finally gone, if this person doesn't leave, our life will be unbearable." ”

Li Qiyuan secretly rolled his eyes, you guy will be going to Ningbo in a few days, of course you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, don't you see that I'm still here?

It's also interesting to say, originally Li Qiyuan and Qian Qianyi were one of the head of the household department and the other was the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, both of them were unlucky ghosts who were dismissed, originally everyone was the eldest and second, no one should look down on anyone, but no one expected that one of them would be miraculously reappointed, and then the other person suddenly felt unbalanced, why am I still a flat-headed commoner, but you have become a court official again, this is too unfair.

However, Qian Qianyi has been up and down for so long, and his ability to observe words and emotions is first-class, after seeing that Li Qiyuan was a little silent, he quickly guessed the other party's thoughts, and he comforted: "Lord Li, don't think too much, since Your Majesty can let me Qian someone re-inaugurate, presumably your affairs will be soon, and it is just a matter of waiting a few more days." ”

Li Qiyuan sighed lightly: "Accept it, don't comfort me, I am a person who has registered in His Majesty's heart, and it is impossible for His Majesty to let me recover." Originally, I still wanted to ask Mr. Jingyi to help me run around, but now even Mr. Jingyi is gone, and now I don't have any hope, I plan to go back to my hometown in a few days to spend this life. ”

At the mention of Gao Panlong, Qian Qianyi's eyes flashed with cold light, "Yang Feng is the mortal enemy of all scholars, and he has repeatedly damaged the major events of my Donglin Party, and his teacher has died in Huangquan because of this, and this person will never come out if he does not get rid of my Donglin Party members!" ”

Speaking of Yang Feng, Li Qiyuan's eyes were also full of hatred, speaking of which, the reason why he was dismissed was also directly related to Yang Feng, if it weren't for Yang Feng, Zhu Youxiao would not have sat crooked in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ridicule of his ass, and he would not have been forced to resign for this.

Thinking of this, Li Qiyuan couldn't help but have a murderous intent in his heart, only to see him say hatefully: "Brother Shouzhi, since that plague god has already left the capital, can we do it again to that person?" ”

"Never!" Qian Qianyi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and his head shook like a rattle: "These days, Wei Zhongxian has been cleaning in the palace, and the eyeliner we have placed in the palace has almost been swept away, and the only few remaining people are all in a panic, and they don't have the strength to do anything to him anymore."

Besides, last time, I guess that person has already doubted us, if he does it again, I am afraid that he will be completely angry, and then he will inevitably purge the Donglin Party, if the Donglin Party dies in our hands, what face will I have to see the teacher under Jiuquan in a hundred years. ”

At the mention of this stubble, Li Qiyuan also showed a trace of fear. In the past month, Zhu Youxiao has been constantly moving in the court, after ordering Gao Panlong to be beheaded, he immediately attacked the Donglin Party, many Donglin Party members were either dismissed or transferred to other Qingshui Yamen, after some rectification, the power of the Donglin Party in the court suddenly decreased sharply, if it were not for Zhu Youxiao's fear of making too big a move to provoke the Donglin Party and the Jiangnan gentry to fight back, it was impossible for Qian Qianyi to be reinstated.

However, admitting defeat like this, Li Qiyuan was unwilling to say anything, "Even if this is the case, we can't make Yang Feng feel better." I heard that Yang Feng opened the sea ban in Fujian, rebuilt the Fujian Navy Division and built a large number of warships, which required a large number of shipbuilding craftsmen, but those maritime merchants in Fujian were unwilling to hand over the craftsmen in their hands, so they secretly moved a large number of craftsmen to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, this time the elder brother went to Ningbo to take up a post, the most important thing for you is to mobilize the gentry in Jiangnan to take care of those craftsmen, and must not let them fall into the hands of Yang Feng, otherwise it will not take long until the Fujian Navy Division is rebuilt, we will have difficulties! ”

Li Qiyuan looked worried when he said this, and Qian Qianyi also showed a dignified expression. In another historical time and space, the reason for the decline of the Ming Sailor is that in addition to the depletion of the Ming Dynasty's finances, the Jiangnan gentry are also an important reason behind the scenes.

The merchants are not stupid, they know very well how much of a threat a powerful Daming sailor is to them, only by destroying the Daming sailors can they freely go back and forth between the Daming, Nanyang and Dongying, bringing them huge profits, as for the impact on the people of the Ming Dynasty and the sea frontier after the Daming sailors are not available. I'm sorry, that's something that the court should only consider, it has nothing to do with me, whoever stops me from making money is my enemy, and I will do whatever it takes to hit him.

"yes, we all underestimated him." Qian Qianyi sighed lightly: "At the beginning, the teacher and we all thought that it would take at least a month for Yang Feng to rush from Fujian to the capital, but no one expected that he would directly take a boat from Xiamen to Tianjin and then arrive in the capital. ”

Speaking of this, Li Qiyuan also looked regretful, and shook his head helplessly: "Providence is like this, what can we do, but since we know that this thief attaches so much importance to the water master, we can't let him succeed." After you go to Ningbo this time, you must discuss it with the virtuous gentry in Jiangnan, and in any case, you can't let Yang Feng reach out to Jiangnan, otherwise we will have a big disaster sooner or later. ”

"I know it, you can rest assured!" Qian Qianyi sneered: "For some things, we would rather destroy them than let others get them!" ”

Not to mention Qian Qianyi and Li Qiyuan, who were plotting how to deal with Yang Feng, when Yang Feng set off to return to Fujian, the letter he wrote was also delivered to Huang Taiji.

"It's too much deception...... It's so deceitful! ”

In this letter, Yang Feng not only bluntly admitted that he had brought Zhezhe, Hai Lanzhu and Da Yu'er back to Daming, but also asked Huang Taiji to send Zhezhe's two daughters safely to Jinzhou City and hand them over to the Jinzhou defenders within a month, otherwise he would personally lead the army to welcome back his two "daughters".

As long as such a letter is not a natural Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, no one can bear it, and Huang Taiji is naturally no exception.
