The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son

Fang Jifan was anxious to meet many gentry, and after talking with them reasonably, he found that there were individuals who betrayed the class everywhere in the world.

Daming's gentry, they really understand the meaning.

It seems that it is imperative to choose officials as officials.

He ordered people to send these 'public opinions' to Ouyang Zhi.

……

Department.

Ouyang Zhi looked at this densely packed "people's sentiment".

Then took a breath.

Remained silent for a long time, his eyes were slightly red.

Aside, the secretary who compiled the official documents for Ouyang Zhi glanced at him: "Ouyang Butang, this ... what's wrong with this?"

Ouyang Zhi took a breath and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves.

Then sat down seriously.

This official was brought by him from Baoding. He was the most trusted, and he was the confidant of Ouyang Zhi.

Ouyang Zhi seemed to think for a while, and said: "These sent by my teacher ... please take a look."

Secretary nodded, picked up these 'people's sentiments' and watched them one by one.

Then, Si Li's expression became strange, and he gave Ouyang Zhi a careful look.

Ouyang Zhidao: "What do you want to say?"

"This ... forgive the students for nothing, these things sent by Qi Guogong ... hey ..." Si Li sighed again: "Student tells the truth, Qi Guogong's reputation is a bit overbearing. He invited those gentry to come, those gentry are all hands There is no power to restrain the chickens. Do n’t look at the gentlemen who are stomping their feet in the village on weekdays, and the ground is trembling, but in front of Qi Guogong, what do they count? Qi Guogong said to choose officials as officials Okay, how dare they say a bad word, even if Qi Guogong says they like men, they have to nod their heads obediently, do they say something cheerfully? "

Secretary Li again looked up carefully at Ouyang Zhi, Ou Yangzhi still had no expression on his face.

But ... the secretary is used to it.

Ouyang Ministry is like this.

Paused, he continued: "So the students thought that these 'people's sentiments' would not be of any help to Ouyang's ministry, although Qi Guogong was so troubled, it's a pity ..."

It's just a long time ...

Ouyang Zhi suddenly said: "You don't understand."

Secretary was surprised, looking at Ouyang Zhi with puzzled eyes, could not help saying: "Please also ask Ouyang Ministry to enlighten me."

Ouyang Zhi slowly closed his eyes, and then opened his eyes, looking at this stream of people's feelings, with deep eyes in his eyes, said: "This is your opinion, but for me, the teacher does this. These people's feelings are not The teacher wants to give it to me. "

"Isn't it for you?" Si Li looked suspicious and even more puzzled.

"This is for others to see." Ouyang Zhi said after a brief silence: "Foreign, this is the teacher told the world, you see, his student Ouyang Zhi made the official Shangshu, in the tossing election officials for Officer, it is to dig the roots of many gentry and scholars, this is all the teacher ’s instruction, and my Ouyang Zhi, my Ouyang Zhi is just to respect the teacher ’s order, but for a moment, confused, excusable, but the teacher, but There is no pardon for sin. "

Si Li's expression suddenly changed, he was shocked, and at the same time he understood what.

"Students understand, Ouyang Butang means ... Qi Guogong's move is to share the pressure of Ouyang Butang. Previously, Ouyang Butang was the target of all, but now, the hatred of countless people has turned to Qi Guogong's head. Shang. He does this, it seems that he is fooling around, but he is actually protecting the Ouyang Ministry? "

Finally, Si Li couldn't help but took a breath.

Look at other people's Ouyang Ministry, why can they fly into the sky, in addition to their true skills, or because of such a teacher.

Er, the teacher of someone else's home ...

Ouyang Zhi slowly nodded and said, "My teacher ... hey ... he treats me like a son. I am a disciple. Although I am a civil servant, he still needs his protection, saying Come ... really ashamed. "

His eyes were red again.

Then he gritted his teeth and said: "The teacher is so fanatical, his mind, as a disciple, I already understand it. Now ... my only disciple, the only thing I can do is to take care of things in the office of Shangshu. Not to embarrass the teacher, Lu Sili, take the undrafted charter, I will look at it again, think about it, think about it. "

Secretary Lu said seriously, "Yes."

Ouyang Zhi has turned his grief into strength at this moment.

Teacher's good intentions made him ashamed.

………………

Keppel Harbour in Malacca.

This Malacca country was built a hundred years ago and occupies a small area. It belongs to a peninsula, and the north is almost surrounded by the Johor state.

The Keppel harbour happens to be at the southernmost tip of the Malacca peninsula. This small harbour was borrowed by Daming earlier. The harbour was built here. A large number of Daming ships have to cross the Strait of Malacca. They often stop here.

Not only that, with the rise of the Siyang business, Daming's merchant ships also often come here to bring some treasures of Daming.

Daming's many products are the best in the world.

Tea, silk, porcelain, and even the most fashionable cotton textiles, even now glasses have appeared.

Commercial ships of various countries will also arrive here to trade with the Siyang commercial firm, and then ship these goods back to the country.

Under the operation of Daming, this Keppel port is flourishing. Previously, it was just a fishing village. Nowadays, it is overcrowded. One by one, Ming-style buildings are rising, and countless merchants are flowing here.

Western countries, Tianzhu countries, and merchants of the big food, during the shuttle, every day, a large number of ships enter and exit, the unprecedented grand occasion.

This is a thoroughfare, the geographical position is excellent, and because it is related to the supply of Daming ’s Western ships, and there are even hundreds of special soldiers to protect. In addition, Daming ’s fleet will come here to cruise every three days. Keep it safe.

Portuguese will occasionally come, although the relationship is tense.

Is related to the business, and they will never dare to make a business here. The two sides are now struggling with each other, but despite the friction between them, Daming's fleet has not attacked the Portuguese settlements in Luzon and Java. The two sides seem to be very tacit and carefully maintain the unspoken relationship.

As early as a few days ago, a huge fleet of Siyang commercial firms arrived here.

Father Liu Wenshan and Liu Jin got off the boat, and was immediately warmly welcomed by the embassy and ambassador of Keppel Harbour in Malacca.

Liu Wenshan and others disembarked, and then traveled a hundred miles north to meet the Malacca King.

Although the Malacca King was enthusiastic, he also complained a lot.

But Liu Wenshan didn't care, and returned to Keppel Harbor, where he lived in Xuanwei Mansion.

Here, a temporary line was formed, inside was protected by the spies of the Siyang Commercial Company, and outside were hundreds of Ming and Ming officers and soldiers stationed at Keppel Harbor.

Under these heavy guards, a large map was hung on the wall.

At this time, Liu Wenshan was carrying his hands, raised his head, and stared at the map on the wall seriously.

Said lightly, "The Malacca King has repeatedly complained about the constant disputes between the Han people at Keppel Harbor and the natives in Malacca. Liu Jin, what do you think?"

Liu Jinben sat next to him and took the teacup. When Liu Wenshan asked him, he put down the teacup and thought about it carefully before saying: "Thinking that, at the beginning, Frang was coming in a powerful manner. , I heard that Daming was going to the west, I really wished to take my Daming fleet to their home. But now, the expansion of Flemish robots has been suppressed, and they start to suspect that we are taking root here. Salivating our port, and fearing that a large number of Han merchants are pouring in here. Dad, in the eyes of his son, these are all ungrateful white-eyed wolves, and what are they polite. "

Liu Wenshan looked at Liu Jin, but smiled and said: "This is human nature, even brothers, there are still indistinguishable accounts, not to mention here? Because of this, it is important for us The mission, only to promote the treasure money, since then, the Western countries have had to be vassals. Military conquest, after all, is hard to convince and cannot last for long. Only economic control is the key. important."

Liu Wenshan did not go on.

He was silent for a moment, and then looked up and continued to look at the map: "You are the big shopkeeper of the Siyang firm, and instead of you, what are you going to do here?"

Liu Jin: "..."

Seeing Liu Jin not answering, Liu Wenshan smiled and said, "You need to learn this well. This is a true art of the world. Learned, and the Siyoung firm will grow in the future."

Liu Jin said abruptly: "Yes, my son has been reading your book recently ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ has been a bit proficient, but ..."

"Then don't worry, learn slowly." Liu Wenshan sat down and took a sip of tea, his expression relaxed, said: "Next, we are going to sell a lot of the goods we brought, silk, tea, cotton, Porcelain, you can sell, all are sold, not only that, we also have to set a rule, since we want to do business with us, of course, we must agree on the currency, the currency of each country is different, I think Siyang Business needs to contact each Second, what is the currency used by them, they have the final say. "

"They have the final say?" Liu Jin looked surprised: "This ... this ... father ... is it not cheap for them?"

In the past, we used real gold and silver to trade. Now, if we give the initiative to various countries, is this not ...

Unreasonable, Liu Jin is puzzled ...

Liu Wenshan said with a smile: "If you want to take it first, you have to give it first. In fact, economics is very simple. Do you know why the tulip bubble will succeed?"

Liu Jin: "..."

Okay, he admits, he is not good at learning.

Liu Wenshan said: "Can't answer?"

Liu Jin said: "Also invite my father to give me a notice."

Liu Wenshan's eyes suddenly flicked: "Greedy! All economic problems stem from this, and the hearts of the people are the most greedy, and if they can take advantage of this, they will not be disadvantaged."

Liu Jin this time, remember.

Liu Wenshan just said lightly: "This time, it is the same!"
