Chapter 574: Poor Family Takako (128)
A poor son 128
Kang Chang was not summoned in immediately, but waited quietly at the place where the Hou saw him.
Wu Chunlai, who had met with him, hired a little eunuch to serve the tea. He didn't have breakfast today, and his head hurts a little last night's hangover, so it would be the best if he could drink some hot water. But the hot tea reached his mouth and he put it down again.
Who knows when to wait in the palace and what if you want to go to the toilet?
It would be long enough to get rid of the matter if he failed once. If he did it again, he could only hit him to death.
He sat here, staring at the other side of the pearl curtain, the emperor was meeting someone, a person he also knew, Wang Pingyao.
This old guy is getting stronger and stronger, his voice is calm and his tone is powerful.
"... I am still not used to the climate of the north, and people are always reluctant to leave their homeland. I can only have a foothold in the south, but I dare not do it anymore. The Wang family is a noble family, and the people of the world are definitely not easy in the eyes of the Wang family. The Ming Dynasty has been exhausted, and the emperor adheres to the way of heaven, and I am impressed. The Wang family will help the emperor to pacify..."
Before Kang Chang finished listening, he couldn't help but snorted. What does it mean to be unaccustomed to the north and only hope to have a foothold. Isn't it bargaining here? It means that the Wang family can assist the emperor, but there are conditions, that is, the Wang family is in the foundation.
This old guy doesn't know where the confidence comes from? If the emperor agrees, he will be terrified. These aristocratic families are deeply involved with the Ming Dynasty court and King Zheng, and they treat the emperor as a soft persimmon.
He has such confidence as stepping on two boats, and he is also considered a character.
There was only Wang Pingyao's voice inside, but Guo Chang didn't hear a word from the emperor.
Wang Pingyao also meant that the emperor was just exhausted, and he heard a cold voice inside, saying: "The Wang family has been in the southern part for many years, but I want to hear your thoughts. What do you think about the governance of the southern part?"
Wang Pingyao was stunned at first, then he was delighted. Now, the southern land is in whose hands it depends on the attitude of the aristocratic family. Is the emperor's intention to seek the strategies for governing the southern land so affirmatively? This is the condition that he agreed to himself.
He felt relieved and smiled in his heart. There was nothing that the emperor didn't care about face. He wanted to use himself and wanted to ask others, but he still couldn't bear to face. He didn't care about these things, but instead talked to the emperor about the customs and customs of the south.
The Fourth Master was not impatient, but just listened patiently. He asked a few questions from time to time.
"I heard that each family has some sea boats, and they have been in close contact with overseas." The Fourth Master asked suddenly.
Guo Chang was stunned when he heard it outside. The emperor knew that there were quite a few wild boys from the countryside, probably never visited the south. But he even knew such a secret matter.
More than ten years ago, the Ming Dynasty banned maritime trade. However, the profits of maritime trade were amazing, but they were repeatedly banned. Many of these big families participated in it. The Wang family took the lead and took the most part. They also made more money by relying on this, otherwise other families would not be able to do anything else.
However, when I thought of the red cannon and Fang Changqing was always by the emperor, I felt relieved.
He listened quietly to the movement inside. He hadn't heard Wang Pingyao's voice for a long time, and knew that the old guy was scared.
Wang Pingyao was indeed stunned. The emperor allowed the Wang family to remain unmoved. If trade was banned, it would be considered as cutting off the family's financial resources. Not only did it cut off the family's financial resources, but it also cut off the bonds between these families.
For a moment, I really didn't know how to answer. Wang Pingyao's mind was only taken back when the Fourth Master fiddled with the teacup in the room. In fact, on the other hand, he felt a little relieved. He just felt that the emperor agreed a little too happy. If the emperor had known where his lifeline was and could still hold it, it would not be difficult to understand. As long as the southern land is pacified and the emperor increased the tax collection of these merchant ships, then he would really hold their lifeline.
When Wang Pingyao thought about it and started to sweat coldly, the Fourth Master said: "Actually, there is another purpose for summoning you this time, which is sea trade. You don't have to be afraid, I will not prohibit this matter. On the contrary, in the future, any sea ships will go to sea trade, and there will be escorts from the court's navy. You don't have to worry about pirates. In addition, the sea ships of the court are also traded to the outside world. As for what the sea ships of the court will look like, there will be someone to explain to you later. You will know when you see the model."
Wang Pingyao understood in an instant that he asked them to buy sea boats. By the way, the navy was dispatched and could not do it for nothing. This all requires money. This is equivalent to dividends of the benefits they have. Use this part of the benefits to support the navy and train the navy.
He said tentatively: "This ship only needs to pay a deposit first, right?"
"This is natural." The Fourth Master said as a matter of course.
really!
It turned out that the court had no money and planned to borrow chickens to lay eggs.
After thinking this out, he was not panicked. Speaking of which, this was a good thing that won multiple goals in one fell swoop. The relationship between the aristocratic family and the royal family has become one step further. The bond that connects interests is much more reliable than the nepotism relationship.
But Kang Chang smelled an unusual smell. Why did he feel the more dangerous?
The army went south, and the arrow was on the string. However, the emperor did not attract the guests, but instead invited the guests. Is this a big deal? No one was in his heart. But when he arrived in the capital, he really put them in Juxian Pavilion, and let them discuss political affairs without any intervention. The army heading south did not move at all. The uneasiness in these people was afraid that they would have been eliminated by this generous and graceful manner.
And now, another bait was thrown out to ask these people to put down all their guards. This is to ask these people to stay in the north with peace of mind.
He sensitively realized that 80% of what the emperor said just now were true, and anything except for cooperating with the aristocratic family was true.
Then, that is to say, the emperor knew that these high-ranking families were dissatisfied with the court's policies, so he had already thought of another way to appease these wealthy families. If maritime trade really became the norm, those with capital participation must be wealthy families. The profits here are not comparable to those interests on the land.
This bait is not only attractive to aristocratic families, but also to those who come from wealthy families.
The emperor knew that these big families were dissatisfied, so gathering all the unstable elements who might cause turmoil because of dissatisfaction in the capital and under his nose is another layer of truth behind the glamorous reason for asking about politics.
In other words, the emperor is equivalent to locking up these people in the capital. It means that I am busy pacifying the southern land. You are all honest now and don’t come out to get in the way.
But this pit was caused by everyone crying and shouting, and jumping in.
He wiped the sweat on his head, no wonder Fang Changqing said that he hated smart people. These smart people really hate them too much. Every time you think you see the truth, you realize that you are only the tip of the iceberg. There is something hidden between them, unless he wants to tell you the truth, you really may not be able to guess thoroughly.
He is now starting to hate smart people. It's simply annoying.
Wu Chunlai was a little helpless when he thought about it here. He had called him several times. He didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't hear a word. He dared to be a wanderer at the place where the emperor saw him. This is the first person.
"Sir Kang, Lord Kang." He called out twice.
Kang Chang suddenly woke up and stood up: "Oh! Here! Here! That old guy Wang Pingyao has left?"
Wu Chunlai: "..." You are so brave, afraid that the emperor doesn't know that you have been listening to the corners, right?
After Kang Chang finished speaking, he was stunned, and then patted himself: "I drank too much last night and haven't woken up yet. I'm drunk! I'm drunk! I can't take it seriously."
Wu Chunlai was silent for a moment, a little worried. Is the person he found this time really reliable? He even disliked this frivolous person as his apprentice.
He said helplessly: "Master Kang, the emperor wants to see you, please."
A voice echoed in Kang Chang's ears, that is, Wu Chunlai kept calling him "Master Kang". According to the rules, he was white, so where could he call him "Master Kang"?
Will Wu Chunlai be blindly called if he doesn't understand the rules? He must not.
This means that the summoning of the emperor is a good thing.
In an instant, his back straightened and his mind became clear. He followed Wu Chunlai and went inside.
The Fourth Master in front of him was different from the Fourth Master yesterday. He was wearing a homely robe and was casually tilted on the couch on the side with a leather mattress on his body. When he saw him coming in, he looked up and asked, "You have heard what he said just now?"
Kang Chang nodded: "Yes, did you hear it?"
"What do you think?" The Fourth Master asked casually.
Kang Chang smiled and said, "Long Live is definitely a master of fishing. He uses straight hooks, but the bait is real. No wonder they are like fools. This is the real wisher who takes the bait."
Wu Chunlaixun lowered his head and slowly retreated. This person's mouth is so unpleasant. He doesn't understand the truth that he sees through and doesn't tell. You guessed the emperor's thoughts. Does the emperor have any secrets in front of you? Where is the regency?
Is this really a wealthy family? Why is it a bit like a lazy person?
The Fourth Master raised his eyebrows and looked at Kang Chang up and down, and then said, "Fortunately, you met me. You want to try another person. Sooner or later, you will die in the same mouth." The Fourth Master said, and waved his hand, "Okay, let's walk forward in the future."
ah?
Walking in front of the emperor?
Isn’t this Fang Changqing’s seat?
"Work with Lord Fang?" Kang Chang couldn't help but ask.
The Fourth Master shook his head: "No, you can replace him."
ah?
"No wonder he put on a dead face when he saw me today." Kang Chang blurted out.
Fourth Master: "..."
Wu Chunlai: "..." You are the first to be the one who has taken eye drops so blatantly and straightforwardly to complain about the slander. If you know, Lord Fang will definitely want to bite you to death.
