Ye Rongbai continued: "Shanghai has been completed and the railway to Nanjing has been opened. The court has been in a stable manner. If it continues, Shanghai will be more prosperous. Therefore, I have achieved success and fame. If I am attached to this position again, it is not a good thing. After thinking about it, it is better to resign. This is also a little thought for my brother."

Wang Kun didn't say anything, listened quietly, but he felt a little acknowledged Ye Rongbo's thoughts.

Although the Ye family has strong financial resources and Ye Rongbai has an official position, after all, the Ye family is different from their Wang family. The Wang family can be regarded as a slave of the royal family and serves for the emperor, while the Ye family is a family of officials and businessmen, which is essentially different from the Wang family.

Even the Wang family, why did Wang Fan beg Zhu Yicheng to retire and return home after leaving the Military Affairs Office? In fact, this is also Wang Fan's cleverness. He knew that his mission had been completed. If he continued to stay in the court, not only would he not be able to help the Wang family, but would make the Wang family the target of public criticism.

It is better to retreat as an advance and use his complete retirement to pave the way for his younger generation, that is, Wang Kun. The facts also show the benefits of Wang Fan doing this. Zhu Yicheng not only still cares about Wang Fan's goodness and gives more care to the Wang family, but the court officials in the court who were originally hostile to Wang Fan also changed their attitude towards the Wang family as Wang Fan completely retreated, making the Wang family as stable as Mount Tai.

But the Ye family is different. I don’t know how many people are watching a family like the Ye family. Although Ye Rongbai put a lot of effort into the Shanghai incident, the funds invested in building Shanghai were recovered by the Ye family in the past decades with dozens of times the return.

The more prosperous Shanghai is, the more people are staring at Ye Rongbai and the Ye family. In fact, it is not only the Ye family, but also the Bao family in Hong Kong. It’s just that the Bao family is far away from Jiangnan, but it is not as conspicuous as the Ye family.

When the court decided to build a railway, some people in the court proposed to Zhu Yicheng to take back the privileges of the Ye family in Shanghai, but this suggestion was directly rejected by Zhu Yicheng. At that time, Zhu Yicheng did not want to setback the momentum of business development due to some small profits, and at the same time, he did not want people to feel that the Ming Dynasty was suspected of destroying bridges across the river.

So Zhu Yicheng not only did not do this, but instead clearly supported the Ye family, including the Bao family in Hong Kong, which completely broke the conspiracy against the Ye family.

But Ye Rongbo is a very clear-headed person. He is not just a businessman, but also an official. He considers the problems very comprehensively. Ye Rongbo knew that the situation where the Ye family had privileges in Shanghai would never last long. Once it reached a certain level, it would probably not bring any benefits but serious consequences.

The incident against the Ye family has happened before. The Ye family can escape once with the emperor's trust, but who can guarantee that they can escape the next time? Perhaps by then, even the emperor will plan to attack the Ye family. If this is the case, then the Ye family, which looks like a giant, will probably be doomed overnight.

This is also the reason why Ye Rongbai finally decided to resign voluntarily.

When he resigned from his post in Shanghai, the Ye family's privileges in Shanghai no longer exist, and then he could not only give an explanation to the emperor, but also completely calm the forces in the court attacking the Ye family.

Besides, after resigning from his position, the Ye family will still be the Ye family, which will not affect the wealth and ability of the Ye family. Moreover, Zhu Yi contempts Ye Rongbai so tactful, and may even give the Ye family generously. By then, the Ye family will not only get rid of worries, but also change the predicament in front of them.

"Brother Ye is doing this, you can take it and put it in. I admire you!" After Ye Rongbai finished speaking, Wang Kun sighed, raised his teacup and toasted the other party with a cup of tea instead of wine.

"Haha, I'm not to be hiding it from Brother Wang. After I finished writing the memorial and sent it out, the stones pressing on my heart seemed to be no one at once. I felt a little relaxed and even had a lot of sleep at night." Ye Rongbai quipped with a smile.

"Yes, I can only gain if I give up. Brother Ye is so wise, I am here to congratulate Brother Ye for letting go."

"Okay! Then thank Brother Wang." Ye Rongbai said with a smile, and then the two of them drank a cup of tea together, put it down and looked at each other and laughed.

"By the way, Brother Ye, what are you going to do after resigning? Should you stay in the court as an official or..." Wang Kun couldn't help asking.

Ye Rongbai's official title is the title of "Tiju and the Right Minister of the Ministry of Revenue", and he was appointed as the Jiayi Doctor. In addition, he also has a title, and he can be regarded as a nobleman.

Moreover, his official position was actually a rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the person who resigned was the rank of the Shanghai rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank

Of course, if the emperor dislikes you, it is possible to give you his official position and the additional title to you, but the possibility of doing so is extremely small. Moreover, Ye Rongbai's resignation is a chance to directly take over Shanghai. How could the court do such a thing?

Therefore, after Ye Rongbai was not an official in Shanghai, the court could grant additional officials and even transfer the title to his original official, and it would not be an exaggeration to give him the actual position of the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. In this way, Ye Rongbai could directly transform from a semi-official and semi-bureaucratic official into a real court official, and a third-rank official.

"I know the ways in the officialdom, but I don't like them." Ye Rongbai said, "Besides, it's not my intention to let me go to the capital to become an official."

"Then Brother Ye's plan is to continue doing business..." Wang Kun asked in confusion, don't you want to be a good official and be a complete businessman. Wouldn't Ye Rongbo cut off his retreat in the court?

Ye Rongbai shook his head and said, "This is not the case. I have seen many merchants from all over the years in Shanghai. The Ye family cannot be said to be rich enough to rival a country with this treasure land in Shanghai, and it is considered a family of people. As the saying goes, quietness means moving. I want to go overseas. On the one hand, loosen these rust bones, and on the other hand, I plan to see the overseas scenery and do something for the Ming Dynasty if I have the opportunity."

"Overseas?" Wang Kun frowned and asked, "Is it Luzon, Johor, or Xinming?"

"None are not." Ye Rongbai smiled and said, "I want to go to Nanlu. I heard that Nanlu is a good place. It is much better to go to Xinming from the South China Sea than to Xinming. Moreover, Nanlu has just discovered it for a while, and it is the best opportunity for development. Although I am not talented, I still have some experience in building cities and developing cities in Shanghai for so many years. If the court can agree, I will go there to take a look."

Wang Kun never expected Ye Rongbai to go to the Nanlu, which was a barren land! The Nanlu is not like Xinming and Luzon. Although the places like the Nanlu are all overseas territories, there is no one in the South, and there is no development at all. Go to this place where birds do not shit. Could it be that Ye Rongbai wants to exile himself?
