Chapter 563 Little Cutie(1/2)
Cheng Chumo interrupted at this time: "Brother Yi Shan, this time I went to Jiangnan, in addition to establishing a shipping yamen, I think our fleet should go to sea as well."
"I heard that Fang Yiai and Du He trained almost the same guards. It depends on Xue Rengui's sea boat. If there is no income, people will eat horses and chew it, but it will be a lot of expenses."
Since Xue Rengui went to take charge of shipbuilding, Fang Yiai, Du He and others trained their own guards, it has been almost two years now, and anyone is a little anxious.
Hearing Cheng Chumo say this, Yang Fan explained: "Don't be anxious. Nowadays, the trade routes in the Jiangnan area are all in the hands of the Jiangnan geniuses. Although our focus is overseas trade, if the domestic trade routes are not handled, where can we get these goods to go overseas and trade? We can't transport them from Chang'an, right?"
"So, after the New Year, the first thing I have to do is to break the monopoly of the Jiangnan gentry. Once the overseas market is opened up, it will naturally come naturally and everyone's investment will be recovered soon."
Only by first paving the various commercial roads in Jiangnan, and then passing through the fiefs of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, directly opening up the commercial roads in Jiangnan and Southeast Asia.
At that time, Southeast Asia will be used as the transit point, whether in Europe or America, it will naturally happen.
Cheng Chumo glanced at Yang Fan, thought for a while, and asked softly: "Brother Yi Shan means that Your Majesty will let you serve as the supervisor of the Jiangnan Maritime Transportation Office after you get married, and let you preside over overseas trade for the generation along the coast of Jiangnan?"
Yang Fan was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.
This guy looks stupid, but his mind is still very delicate and he already has a few skills from Cheng Yaojin.
You can guess from just a few words. This guy’s mind is not as rough as he looks, and it is very promising!
However, no matter how smart Cheng Chumo is, he could not imagine the official position that Yang Fan will take over.
That is not just the head of the shipping department, but the real governor of Jiangnan who is integrated with military and political affairs.
Who can believe that at the age of nineteen?
There was a Tang Dynasty, which could be said to be unique!
Cheng Chumo was happy and said, "No wonder my father told me to come back quickly. He will find a position as Zhechong Duwei for me in Jiangnan, so that he can go to Jiangnan with his brothers Yishan to help me."
When he heard this, Yang Fan said happily: "Brothers in war, that's great. Let's go and meet the Jiangnan gentry for a while."
If you have someone you trust to help you, you will naturally feel much more at ease when doing things.
Otherwise, if you fight to Jiangnan alone, you will be too weak.
Although Xue Rengui is also a talent, Yang Fan and the others are really unable to meet the crisscrossing Jiangnan gentry.
You should know that Jiangnan has been the richest place in all dynasties.
It is precisely because of the huge wealth here that the Jiangnan region has been developed and flourished.
The people here are rich and abundant, so of course there will be less respect for the emperor.
In the eyes of the people, their good life was not brought by the emperor, but by the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.
Therefore, the emperor's control over Jiangnan was actually very weak.
The Jiangnan gentry has been developing and operating Jiangnan for hundreds or thousands of years, and its forces are mixed. If they go alone, it will be difficult without anyone to help them.
After hearing this, Chai Lingwu was ready to go and said excitedly: "After going back, I would like to ask Your Majesty to find a position in Jiangnan. Then our master and apprentice will join hands and make a big fuss about him!"
Li Jinghuan was filled with excitement when he heard this.
Although he wanted to go, he knew he couldn't.
After all, Li Daozong was far away in Tubo, and now only Li Jinghuan is supported by the county prince’s mansion.
If he leaves, there will be only some orphans and widows in the entire county prince's mansion, and of course he cannot go to Jiangnan willfully.
Thinking of this, Li Jinghuan sighed softly: "When discussing the difficulties of brothers, I couldn't leave Chang'an. Jinghuan was ashamed!"
Of course, Yang Fan understood Li Jinghuan's difficulties and waved his hand and said, "Brother Jinghuan doesn't have to do this. Our roots are all in Chang'an. If we all went to Jiangnan, wouldn't there be no one to take care of it?"
"Once I go to Jiangnan, those who stay in Chang'an City are all women, children, young and old. I hope Brother Jinghuan can help take care of one or two!"
Li Jinghuan's face turned solemn and said loudly: "Don't worry, Brother Yi Shan, as long as I, Li Jinghuan, will definitely not have someone to attack the county government."
"I'm working!" Yang Fan smiled.
Cheng Chumo also said rudely: "Brother Shan, don't worry, my father said, let's go there at that time. With him in Chang'an, no one dares to escape."
Hearing Cheng Chumo's words, Yang Fan nodded with conscientiously.
The most fearful thing is that the most fearful thing is that the most fearful thing is that the most fearful thing is that the most fearful thing is that the most fearful thing is that the most fearful thing is that the most fearful thing is that the most fearful thing is that the most fearful thing is that.
When it comes to the most difficult person in civil and military affairs in the court, Cheng Yaojin can definitely be named.
After all, if you are such a stupid and stupid person, who dares to provoke him?
When you come and go, the few people talked enthusiastically, full of longing for the future.
Before I knew it, I didn't know how many times I changed the wine pot, and everyone was a little drunk.
After having another drink, Chai Lingwu asked Yang Fan with a blushing face: "Master, there are not many days since your marriage, what can your disciple help?"
"Yes, brothers, we are all rough. If you have any hard work or tiring work, just arrange it." Cheng Chumo and Li Jinghuan opened their drunken eyes and hurriedly ordered He, their eyes full of wonder.
When the brothers get married, of course they want to help, even if it is a trivial matter.
Of course, Yang Fan could understand their thoughts. He did not refuse, but said with a smile: "The godmother Empress Xiao is responsible for all the etiquette of getting married. I don't understand at all, but there is indeed something that needs your help to prepare."
Hearing Yang Fan's words, several people patted their chests and said quickly: "As long as we don't mind our troubles, you just need to do our best, we will do our best."
Seeing that the few people looked serious and even a little nervous, Yang Fan smiled: "Brother, you must like this. I have prepared some salutes and you can help you to set them off."
Hearing that he was just setting off firecrackers, Chai Lingwu and his men immediately patted their chests and said in a muffled voice: "Master, isn't it just firecrackers? We are the best at this time. We will definitely let the entire Chang'an City hear it."
Yang Fan smiled and said, "That's all my brothers!"
Although the salute he prepared was not firecrackers, Yang Fan did not want to say it now. This was the surprise Yang Fan prepared.
The few people didn't get together for a long time, until they drank so misty that they dispersed.
When Yang Fan returned to Junyangfang, the stars were already shining.
Although it was time to rest, Yang Fan, who had drunk alcohol, was a little excited.
The more excited he is, the easier it is to not be able to sleep. In desperation, Yang Fan had to walk on the path on the mansion with his hands behind his back.
Fortunately, the moonlight is still bright today, but it is quite interesting.
As we walked, we unknowingly arrived outside the villa where Empress Dowager Xiao lived.
Looking at the villa with a shiny light, Yang Fan was confused. Why did he come here?
Seeing that the gate of the other courtyard was not closed tightly, Yang Fan felt that since he had come, it was better to go in and sit down and visit Yang Fei.
After all, Empress Dowager Xiao and Concubine Yang are nominal mother and daughter.
When Concubine Yang came to Junyangfang, she naturally lived in the same yard with Empress Dowager Xiao.
Since coming to Junyangfang, Yang Fan has been busy treating Xiao Yizi and has never been to greet him.
Having reason to convince himself, Yang Fan knocked on the gate of the other courtyard.
Concubine Yang had already slept with her, but when she heard Empress Dowager Xiao’s maid report that Yang Fan was visiting, she couldn’t help but be stunned.
He came to the door in the middle of the night. What Yang Fan wanted to do was so blatant!
It took me a long time to come back to my senses and asked, "How many people are there?"
The maid quickly replied, "There is only the master, and..."
"And what? Don't hesitate to speak!"
Concubine Yang was a little impatient. Recently, the yin and yang were inconsistent, and her temper became a little irritable.
The maid asked carefully: "Report to the Empress, the Duke of Wannian County seems to be drunk, and the Empress Dowager entered Chang'an City today and is not in a separate courtyard. Why don't I ask him to go back now?"
The eunuchs and palace maids sent from the palace did not live in Yang Fan's mansion.
These maids are all slaves in Junyangfang, so some of them do not understand Yang Fei's temperament.
When Yang Fei was slightly stunned when she heard the maid's words, she didn't expect that the bad guy would get drunk?
Then he chuckled with his little lips.
While putting on his light clothes, he said to the maid: "It's midnight that the county magistrate must have something to do when he comes here. Why don't you invite him in?"
"No!" the maid responded, got up and walked out.
After a while, Yang Fan, who was already drunk, was helped in by the maid.
Seeing this, Concubine Yang hurriedly greeted Concubine Yang and said to the maid: "You go and rest first, there is no need for anyone to serve here tonight."
"No!" The maid understood and immediately bowed and closed the door very thoughtfully.
Smelling the smell of wine from Yang Fan, Concubine Yang couldn't help but frowned, helped him to the edge of the bed, and complained: "Why did you drink so much wine today?"
Although he was blown by the wind for a while and the alcohol was a little drunk, Yang Fan was still a little awake at this moment. He smashed his mouth a few times and said drunkenly: "I have seen the concubine, isn't my godmother here today?"
Concubine Yang smiled and joked, "You little villain, you are drunk and you are so angry. The queen mother had something to do today, so she went to Chang'an City! Why don't you do it if you don't know the county magistrate come to visit late at night? Could it be that she missed me?"
While saying that, he went to wipe Yang Fan's face with a wet handkerchief.
Looking at the beautiful face that was close at hand, and the faint fragrance kept drilling into the nostrils, Yang Fan nodded in a terrible way: "I really miss the Empress. I have no place to rest tonight. I wonder if I can take it in?"
Unexpectedly, Yang Fan suddenly became so bold. After a while, Concubine Yang reacted and said coquettishly: "If the county magistrate really missed me, it wouldn't have been here for so long."
"It's been several months, and you haven't thought about this once, it's really sad!"
Yang Fan smiled and said with a stern face: "Hehe, isn't this here? Besides, the empress was in the palace before, and the empress dared not!"
