"This confession was interrogated by my Jinyi official school, and it can ensure that there is no problem, the two girls sent by Master Ma are assassins of the White Lotus Sect's Heavenly Punishment Department. You said that they were raised in the mansion by you since you were a child and taught skills, do you mean that you are the Great Elder of the White Lotus Sect? ”

Seeing the confession handed over by Yang Chengzu, Ma Hongtu's face also became very ugly in an instant, he was called over by his subordinates when he was talking with the other three. Yang Chengzu was going to blackmail something, but he didn't expect it, but he showed himself these things.

Those two women are just a meeting gift, if Yang Chengzu likes it, such a woman can be sent out by the Jin merchant family at any time. They were indeed raised at home by themselves, and they invited the name of Datong to teach them all kinds of skills in serving men, and they were specially given away as living jade.

The White Lotus Sect has a strong foundation in Shanxi, and there are people who believe in religion among the people and even in the government, such as Ma Hongtu himself, who also has Maitreya Bodhisattva at home. But he was an outsider after all, and he believed in religion and sought the safety of his family and his wealth forever, and these were all things, and it was impossible to say that he participated in the assassination of the governor of Qincha.

Although he is a big businessman, but the White Lotus Sect rebelled, this is still a red line, and the wealth of the Ma family, if it is involved in this kind of thing, it is not surprising that the court will destroy the clan. The Xie family is not far away, as long as this Jinyi Governor says a word now, someone will take him down, and the other three Jin merchants will not say half a word.

Furthermore, how did the White Lotus Sect extend its hand into his inner house? What level has it reached? If they really want to take their own property, aren't they always in danger?

Thinking of this, there were beads of sweat the size of beans flowing out of Ma Hongtu's head and face, but Yang Chengzu comforted him, "Master Ma, don't be in a hurry like this, I didn't say that you must be a member of the White Lotus Sect, we have to investigate this matter slowly." If I wanted to make a big deal out of it, I just threw things out when we met. I still want to believe that Master Ma is innocent, it's just that there are demon demons around you, which made you make a wrong judgment. People should not be afraid to make mistakes, as long as they can be corrected, it is good. But the people around you haven't been able to find out, isn't it too hasty to send a woman to the palace? Around the heavenly family, you must ensure safety, if the person you send also has a problem, it is really the king of heaven, and he can't protect you. ”

"The Metropolitan Governor sees that the little old man is wronged, I really ...... I really don't know. The matter of sending a girl to the palace should be regarded as a dream talk from the little old man, don't take it to heart. ”

Ma Hongtu already understood why Yang Chengzu had such a clear attitude against his daughter entering the palace, and if it was himself, he was afraid that it would be even more excessive than him, and his little resentment had now been replaced by gratitude. He took the initiative to take off the bracelet he was wearing

"This string of Buddha beads was opened by the master of Wutai Mountain Zhikong, and the Qincha wore it on his hand, which can protect against disasters and misfortunes. Shanxi Maji 48 ticket number money village, seeing this bracelet, is like seeing old decay. If the Metropolitan wants to adjust his position, he just has to open his position. Yang Ji will go to Shanxi to do business in the future, and the old man is willing to fully cooperate, and the matter of smelling the incense is ......"

"Old Man Ma, you don't have to be like this, this official just doesn't want innocent people to be wronged, and he doesn't want to use these things as bargaining chips to trade anything with you. I never thought that I was the enemy of Jin Shang, we Yang Ji are also businessmen, and we have always been kind to our peers, but many of my peers can't understand my painstaking efforts, and there are many misunderstandings about Yang Ji, and I am also very heartbroken. ”

Yang Chengzu stated very sincerely, and Ma Hongtu echoed it, everyone is a person in the business field, and the principle of equivalent exchange is understood. Originally, the four families came over to discuss business with Yang Chengzu, but now don't think about sending the girl to the palace at all, and their own handle is in the hands of others. Even if Yang Chengzu really wanted the Ma family to bleed, he could only nod, but now he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"You all think that Yang Ji doesn't let everyone make money, which is really wrong. Yang Ji is actually a money-making business, but a money-making business does not mean that all goods must be profitable. Grain is a thing that involves the stability of the imperial court, and I didn't want it to make money, and when necessary, I want it to lose money. As for salt, this can be earned, but the price also has to be pushed down. I recognize all these things, but Yang Ji also has profitable businesses, such as maritime trade and the Silk Road, which are all profitable. In fact, I have always wanted to develop the Silk Road with a few staff members and open up this golden route, so that everyone will have money. ”

The Silk Road, which has flourished since the Han and Tang dynasties, was equally important in the Ming Dynasty, and during the Yongle period, Chen Cheng traveled out of the Western Regions to visit the Timurid Kingdom. At the time of Zhengde, although the envoys of the imperial court were cut off, there were always merchants on the northwest trade route.

There is a deep economic potential on this trade route. But if you want to run the Silk Road, it is not an easy task. As the power of the king of Turpan grew, the encroachment of Hamiwei, and the power of the Mongols, this trade route became dangerous. No matter how many guards the caravan has, it will be a dead end when it encounters a chaotic army.

Caravans are losing more and more money, and it is becoming more and more dangerous to take this road, and the Silk Road has begun to fall into disuse in recent years. Yang Chengzu proposed this road, Ma Hongtu was stunned, and then shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not easy." We are businessmen, but on the other side are robbers, and insatiable robbers. Even if we give money, they still have to kill people and sell goods, this way, it's too dangerous. ”

"Of course I know it's dangerous, but I can also see the business opportunities it holds. The so-called danger is because we always want to feed them, and for wolves, feeding them is not good, they must be beaten. Only by letting them know that they are powerful, can they do business with us with peace of mind. This recovering is a proof of strength, we have the strength to recover the Hetao, and we have the strength to hit Hami and Turpan. As long as the imperial army shows enough strength and determination, the king of Turpan will also know what he should do. Besides, they themselves also have a need for trade, and we need to make money, and their businessmen also need to make money, and some talk about this. As for the Mongolian side, after the imperial court recovers the Hetao, I think the problem of the Mongols will be solved. ”

Yang Chengzu's expression at this time was much friendlier than when he was negotiating, and he looked at Ma Hongtu with a smile, "I know that the Jin merchant family has a friendship with the Great Khan of Mongolia. It's not a secret, it's not a big deal, businessmen, they want money, not gas. You are doing business with Beiyu because there are profits, but now I want to remind the outsiders that sometimes, you have to be flexible and can't hold on to the old trade routes. ”

He waved his sleeve, and the confession was swept to the ground, and he took a map from his sleeve and slowly unfolded it in front of Mahontu. For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
