What is Pei Yan doing that Yu Tang is thinking about?

He was twisting a string of eighteen purple purlin beads in his hand, leaning on the big head pillow of the Luohan bed, listening to the Wu and Peng family members facing each other there.

Tao Qing sat at the bottom of Pei Yan, lowered his eyelids when he saw this, and whispered to Pei Yan: "What do you mean by this? You can give me an answer. I'll know how to say it later."

When Pei Yan heard the words, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she replied to Tao Qing in the same low voice: "What can I do? This is not our Pei family's business! Of course, if anyone thinks it's our family's business, that's fine. Everyone will go back. If anything happens, our Pei family will take care of it. Our Pei family has nothing to say."

"What do you mean?!" Tao Qing listened unhappily, and said, "Under the cover of the nest, there are no eggs. We are now united to overcome the difficulties, how can you say such a thing? If I were If I knew that you had this attitude, I won't come over. Anyway, whether the cancellation of the Shibo Division in Ningbo and Quanzhou has nothing to do with our Taoist family? Urgent, not mine."

Pei Yan curled his lips and found that the hall that was originally like a vegetable market suddenly became quiet, and his breathing was faintly audible. Pei Yan couldn't help but looked around, only to realize that, at some point, everyone was sitting there quietly looking at him, waiting for him to speak and make up his mind.

When did he become so important?

Or, these Jiangnan families suddenly discovered that he was still useful?

Pei Yan sneered twice in her heart, but she didn't show her face, she still looked sternly and said: "If you have any thoughts, let's say it together! I won't be talking, complaining, or tampering behind my back."

Tao Qing agreed with this point of view, and immediately said: "When you get out of this room, everyone must work together and endure and hide any objections or dissatisfaction, and wait for the crisis to pass. Let's talk about it."

Master Peng listened to his heartstrings loosened.

There is nothing to worry about about the three princes making money in Jiangnan. Those who do this are nothing more than two purposes. One is to use this to attack the three princes, and the other is to search again for this reason. Regardless of the former or the latter, it is nothing more than a little extra money for them. But if someone uses this as an excuse and thinks that the Jiangnan family is doing too much business, it is recommended to close the trade terminal, then it will be troublesome. Fortunately, Guangzhou has always been the most important trade terminal, not necessarily Ningbo and Quanzhou. The Japanese pirates are rampant in Fujian and Zhejiang, and they are becoming more and more rampant. Sometimes they even go ashore to burn, kill, and plunder. Many people think that these Japanese pirates continue to kill them because they are covered by merchant ships, which makes it hard to tell which ones It is the Japanese pirates, and who are the boatmen, the best way is to build a strong wall and clear the land, shut down the city ships in Ningbo and Quanzhou, and ban the sea. Moreover, this kind of decree was tried both in the previous dynasty and at the beginning of the founding of this dynasty, and the number of Japanese pirates is indeed much less.

The Peng family and Song family were either leaning on the dock in Quanzhou or leaning on the dock in Ningbo to do maritime business. If the two municipal bureaus withdrew, their business would be a fatal blow, but for the Tao family , Occupies the geographical location of Guangzhou, but the business can take a step forward.

He wanted Tao Qing to mistakenly believe that this time the court was actually targeting not only the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River, but the wealth in their hands, and dealing with the Pei family was just an excuse for the court to use them. In this way, he can use this opportunity to let the Tao family open their docks in Guangzhou to their Jiangnan family.

Tao Qing really caught his plan and agreed to advance and retreat with them.

He took a sip of tea with satisfaction, and felt that Tao Qing was still a bit tender, too emotional, and that was the case for Tao family at best.

What a pity this terminal in Guangzhou!

Master Peng was thinking in his heart whether he could marry the Tao family or something, and then through this relationship, he would slowly make the business of the Peng family go to Guangzhou.

Master Song Si over there couldn't hide the joy in his heart.

He knew that the Pei family was great, but that was in the hands of Old Pei, and the current Pei Yan, everything followed the rules left by the old Pei, and did not show any extraordinary ability. Now the Tao family and Pei family are standing together, with Tao Qing's ability, they will definitely be able to take them through this difficult time.

Master Song Si immediately became full of confidence, and was the first to stand up and say: "Brother Tao can rest assured that we can't control others, but our Song family must be advancing and retreating together with everyone. If you have anything to say now, leave this hall and make a decision. Don't complain. If I speak too straight in a while, I will ask everyone to bear with me!" After finishing speaking, I thought I was humorously humorous to everyone.

Master Wu Da did not groan when he forcibly endured it.

This idiot didn't know how he became the Sovereign of the Song family. The Song family was also a big family. He didn't lose out after such a tossing. It was really jealous.

He thought, and took a look at Pei Yan.

In the somewhat dimly lit hall, the white ground shines, handsomely suffocating, and holding the wealth and connections established by the Pei family after generations of struggles, how can it not be jealous?

If there is such an uncle, their martial arts family don't know how much benefit they can get?

Especially since he watched the Song family and the Peng family start to build a ship in partnership, how domineering the Peng family was. The Pei family who supported the Song family forcibly lost their temper. It can be seen that the Pei family is fully capable of building ships. , Why don’t they do business on the sea? Are you afraid that the money will make you jealous, and you will use their family to do it?

How much business does the Pei family have?

Master Wu touched his chin and felt that the Wu family wanted to marry the Pei family and he had to go out in person. As long as the Wu family and the Pei family are also related by marriage, at least he will be able to let the Song family look at the water from Taihu Lake to Suzhou.

Master Wu Da thought in his heart, and decided to speak one last time, first listen to what other people say.

Grandpa Peng didn’t pay attention to the Wu family at all. The upstarts of the moment only shook up with Jiang Hua in the past two years. The people of the Wu family listened to them as they should be, so they ignored the Wu family, but directly. To Pei Yan said: "What does Gu Chaoyang mean? Isn't the Gu family from Jiangnan? He was ordered to come to Jiangnan Road to investigate the case of the three princes. What does he want to do? What does the Gu family mean? Didn't he come to visit you first when he came to Jiangnan? ?"

He asked Pei Yan.

Although Gu's family is a Hangzhou surname, an official from generation to generation, and a family of farming and studying, they have failed terribly in the past few years. There are not many officials in the family whose children have passed Grade 4, let alone general affairs. In the view of the Peng family, that is just barely able to make ends meet, and there is no need for such an occasion.

Pei Jiagang and Gu's family were married, and the girl of Gu's family was still the eldest grandson of Pei's family.

Pei Yan once again felt the trouble of marrying Gu's family.

He faintly said: "Gu Chaoyang is better to be a Yushi, Master Peng, you said, their Gu family is also from the Jiangnan clan, he can't do the kind of thing that forgets his ancestors, unless he doesn't want the Gu family to stay in Jiangnan. Get up, we got together this time. Although it was hosted by the Pei family, it was meant by the Peng family. I wanted to ask, shall we resolve the Three Princes case first? Or resolve the cancellation of the Shibosi first? Gu Chaoyang is also here, if necessary, I can let him come over and chat too. Brainstorming!"

Master Song Si feels good: "People are afraid to meet. If you have anything, it is better to meet and say!"

He didn't believe that Gu Chaoyang dared to make a decision that was not conducive to the Jiangnan family in front of everyone.

Master Peng despised Master Song Si in his heart.

Even Gu Chaoyang, who has just entered his official career, is afraid, what can he do?

To know that he was such a counselor at first, he and the Wu family built ships together.

It's too late to regret now!

"Then please Gu Chaoyang over to have a chat." Tao Qing made a decisive decision. "If you have anything to say in person, it is better than guessing behind the scenes."

Pei Yan doesn't matter.

Gu Chaoyang came to him to talk to him about the marriage of Miss Gu and Pei Tong. He may not be very optimistic about this marriage, he wanted to support Miss Gu, took the initiative to explain his intentions, and asked him if he would like to help.

Then give a venue to let him play well.

He called to Pei Qi who was guarding the door and asked him to invite someone.

Pei Qi went away.

Master Wu said to Pei Yan about Grandpa Pei: "I'm going to get rid of the clothes in September? Taihu Lake is a bit far away from here. Please send me a letter in advance and come and worship his old man at that time."

Because of Pei Lao'an's seniority, Master Wu and Master Song Si are called brothers. From the Song family, Lao An Pei can barely be called the elder of Master Wu. However, many families in the south of the Yangtze River are married, and there are also aunts and nephews who become wives. The marriage is always counted by the man.

Pei Yan had been in close contact with Jianghua for a while, and was very familiar with the methods of the martial arts flattery. People who treated the martial arts were also a little bit estranged. He smiled and said, "I will tell you in advance when that time comes."

Master Wu then talked about the business at sea: "The ship has been launched and tried, and it feels pretty good. I originally wanted to go to sea from Ningbo. If the city ship department in Ningbo is closed, wouldn't our ship need it? Drag to Guangzhou? This is a big loss." He said with a bitter smile.

Pei Yan disagrees.

The Wu family still has water transport!

You can't walk from the sea, you can't walk the Grand Canal, you can take a detour through the river.

Grandpa Peng, who had been listening to them with his ears on his ears, immediately said, "How is the water transportation business this year? I heard that the two lakes are not harvested. Where did the Yan Yin go?"

Master Wu didn't want to talk more about his housekeeping property, so he fiddled with Master Peng for a long time and didn't say anything about it.

Fortunately, Gu Chaoyang came, so that the two had no time to meet each other.

Gu Chaoyang told everyone that the Bingbi **** Wang Qibao of the Superintendent of Li and Li had also come: "It was with Wei Sanfu who came here. Wei Sanfu is in the Ming and he is in the dark. I don't know where Wang Qibao has gone now."

Everyone looked at each other for a while.

Wei Sanfu was the **** with a good face, and he won the trust of the emperor. Otherwise, he would not be sent to Jiangnan. But this Wang Qibao was the emperor's big companion when he was in the mansion. He was a real confidant, a big man of the twenty-four yamen, and he couldn't easily leave the capital.

He also followed this time. I'm afraid it's not just the case of the Three Princes!

You know, the third prince grew up on Wang Qibao's back when he was young, and Wei Sanfu is said to have been close to the second prince in private.

Master Peng had a pain in his head.

He is not afraid of these princes asking him for money, he is afraid that these princes will force them to stand in line.
