Chapter 108 I did this business
Chapter 108: I've done this business
"You all know my identity, and you have to be fair to achieve it." Zheng Lingyi's voice was as warm as the sun in the afternoon of early autumn, "You are really weird. You have to study the Mingjing subject in such poetry. That's fine. Why did you go to the yamen to be a sword and pen official again? Now you are urging the tung oil business. You have made all the tricks in the three industries of politics, education and business."
It would be fine if she knew her origin, but she actually knew so much. Tang Cheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, "What did Wu Yujun tell you?"
"What, can't you say?" Zheng Lingyi smiled crisply and said solemnly: "Tang Cheng, it's a pity to stay in that small county with your talent. What if you change to the Jinshi subject and learn from Taoism? In this way, you can go to Chang'an Ministry of Rites to take the Jinshi exam in late autumn next year."
From county school to Taoism, he was able to take the imperial examinations one step, which was a completely overturning change for Tang Cheng. If he was not moved, it would be true. Unfortunately, this was something that he could not agree to. He knew how his "poetry talent" came from. It was okay to chant it normally, but when he really entered Taoism and even went to the Ministry of Rites to take the exam, the kind of poetry exams were limited to the questions and rhymes. Tang Cheng knew that he could recite other people's famous works and could recite them, but he wanted to write good poems by himself under the conditions of limited questions and rhymes...
The jumping that is not based on a solid foundation will eventually fall heavily. Upgrading three levels in a row is just a story after all. The most important experience that Tang Cheng learned in more than a year of time travel is: how much sweat shed and how much food she ate.
Even if this is the case, this Taoist learning cannot be done. Because this kind of thing is too rare, if he really agrees, even if he is tied up with Shangguan Wan'er completely through Zheng Lingyi, at least others will see him like this. And Shangguan Wan'er's ending...will not only be himself who will get involved. Even his family will have to follow him to a point where he will never be able to recover.
"I went to Taoism before I finished my county school? What talent do I have? My family teacher once repeatedly warned that being ambitious is the most taboo in my studies, and I have a good intention." After saying this, without waiting for Zheng Lingyi to say anything, Tang Cheng had already changed the topic: "Shangguan Zhaorong is really your aunt's cousin?"
"It's Zhou Lirong who told you, can this be fake?" Zheng Lingyi touched Tang Cheng's face with his head, "Don't belittle yourself. I just suggested that you think about it more happily."
Zheng Lingyi's words made Tang Cheng's heart sank. Originally, the struggle in the palace had nothing to do with him. He was neither in charge nor wanted to worry. But now that the matter was related to Zheng Lingyi, he could not watch her eventually turn in because of Shangguan Wan'er. But although he didn't want to see this scene, what could he do now?
After thinking about it, he really had no clue. For a small county yamen, the Chang'an Palace City was too far away. With just his stunned kung fu, Zheng Lingyi urged again: "You are talking!"
"I went to school late, and my foundation was too weak. It may not be a good thing to be lucky. I will walk step by step and be safe and kind-hearted!" His words made Zheng Lingyi depressed for a long time. He was used to seeing young people who were sharpened and crawling up in Chang'an City. I didn't even hear it, but for some reason, after feeling that the depressed person was disappointed by someone, she felt a little sweet joy in her heart. After all, Tang Cheng was different from those ordinary people, and he didn't think about using her identity to get benefits. Instead, he avoided it. He did not see him wrong, and he didn't think about him wrong!
"Why are you stunned?" This time it was Tang Cheng's turn to urge him. Zheng Lingyi was slightly stunned, "Hmm? What did you say?"
"I said since you know that Zhou Lirong and I met me, I gave me this famous thorn and thought that I would definitely come today. So, it's time to talk about it. What is the idea of the Tung Oil Business Maritime Bureau?"
"No idea", Yangzhou City was so anxious to reach Zheng Lingyi, but it was so light-hearted. "It took Zhou Lirong and Lin Ming to make trouble. As for those maritime merchants, this was a good time to hit them."
Tang Cheng never thought that Zheng Lingyi had such an attitude. However, as Zheng Lingyi talked more and more lazily, he finally understood the details.
Zhou Lirongdi was indeed Zhou Yi's cousin. This time he came to Yangzhou, he was instructed by Wu Sansi. The target he targeted was the Prince Li Chongjun, who was standing behind the observation of Shandong East Road.
Li Chongjun was not born by Empress Wei, so he was not favored in the palace where Empress Wei covered the sky. As for the income in the inner treasury, there was no limit to the amount. As for the unstable reserve, Li Chongjun needed to spend too much money. Fortunately, his last position before being appointed as the crown prince was the Grand Governor of Yangzhou. After careful management back then, these wealthy maritime merchants in Yangzhou have actually played the role of the prince's money bag.
Crown Prince Li Chongjun has a very deadly enemy - Wu Sansi, the in-laws and lover of Empress Wei, and the nephew of the first queen Wu Zhao, had the intention to seek a throne back then. Unfortunately, this thought was just a mirror and water and moon, but now when his power reached its peak, the thoughts of that time were resurrected on her daughter-in-law.
Wu Sansi's second son Wu Chongxun married Princess Anle, who was the most favored by Empress Wei's biological son. No matter what Princess Anle's wisdom is, she is really thinking, and she is determined to encourage her parents to depose Li Chongjun and make herself the crown prince.
As a result, Wu Sansi couldn't stop exerting force. In the past two years, the struggle between the Wu family and Li Chongjun has become increasingly fierce. In the end, Wu Sansi made a ruthless move and wanted to completely cut off Li Chongjun's wealth. Zhou Lirong took action so anxiously. His main purpose was not to point out how much money the shop made in business, but to use the tung oil in his hands to force maritime merchants to change their homes and take advantage of the plan to remove firewood from the pot.
Lin Baiyu, the observer of the East Road of Shannan, was the old minister of the Crown Prince Li Chongjun. He was able to jump from the position of chief of the Yangzhou Grand Governor's Office, and rely entirely on the power of the crown prince. Therefore, his future was actually closely related to Li Chongjun. Therefore, Lin Ming, who should have sold oil, would encourage the tung oil merchants to write a letter to the Maritime Office to intervene in this matter. Lin Ming's proposal was exactly the same as the idea of Yangzhou maritime merchants.
"I am the current governor of Yangzhou or the prince?" I listened to Zheng Lingyi's words quietly. Many things that I couldn't understand before were suddenly cheerful. "In this way, the local language Lingnan Road Observer and the marching ambassador should be Wu Sansi's people."
"Your mind is moving fast, that's exactly what it is."
"This is obvious." Tang Cheng moved his body to make himself more comfortable. "Without the instructor of the military and political chief of Lingnan Road, why did the pirate Feng family become abnormal this year? It is because he is braver at sea. After all, his foundation is still on the land of Chunzhou, Lingnan. He is really not afraid of the government? As for the Yangzhou Grand Governor's Office, the memorial to impeach the military and political chief of Lingnan has long expressed his attitude."
At this point, Tang Cheng suddenly thought of something again, "Since it is the inner palace responsibilities, the Maritime Bureau should be in charge of Empress Wei. The Empress favors Master Wu very much, and then Ling Yi your attitude..."
Although Tang Cheng had already spoken tactfully enough, Ling Yi was still silent for a long time, and I don’t know what she thought of. For a moment, the sound of the wind could only be heard in the garden where laughter just now. After a long time, she heard her faint voice: "Wu Sansi's hand stretched too long, and the Empress also had the ambition of the Empress as the Empress."
Zheng Lingyi's words made Tang Cheng feel moved. If she could say such words, it was implicit enough trust. Although she was very gentle, Tang Cheng had already understood the meaning.
After all, Tang Cheng traveled through time. Even though his historical knowledge was not good, he always knew that Empress Wei was trying to imitate his mother-in-law Wu Zetian and triggered Li Longji to join forces with Princess Taiping to quell the rebellion. It was said that Li Longji, who was originally a concubine and ranked third in the mansion, also began to emerge because of this deposed Empress Wei.
When it comes to the dispute over the throne, Wu Zetian can even kill his own son, so it is not surprising that Empress Wei has been thinking about her old lover. After all, it is better to control the ministers indirectly through Wu Sansi before. In this way, Empress Wei should be happy to see Wu and Li Zhi. No matter who loses these two people, it will only benefit her.
This is also the fundamental reason why Yangzhou Maritime and Zheng Lingyi maintain such an attitude. As long as the Maritime and Maritime and the Maritime and Maritime and the two sides have to continue fighting until the new oil comes out this year.
"It's not all for this." After hearing Tang Cheng say his thoughts, Zheng Lingyi added: "Your Majesty also has the intention to suppress Yangzhou maritime merchants. They are too close to the Yangzhou Grand Governor's Office, and they all forget their identities."
Hearing this, Tang Cheng sighed in his heart, the status of merchants is really not high. Even if they are as open as the Tang Dynasty, they still look down on merchants in their hearts. When these wealthy merchants are too close to the military and political connections, suppression will follow. I think if it weren't for the fact that the maritime merchants were really a source of wealth in the inner palace, I was afraid that they would be more ruthless, and not beating like this now.
By this point, Tang Cheng had actually understood the attitude of Zheng Lingyi, or Yangzhou Maritime Service. What they had to do now was to delay and watch the Li and Wu battles, and use this method to hit those anxious maritime merchants. Until the moment when the new oil was about to come out, Maritime Service would never show its trump card.
"It seems that the Maritime Warehouse Company will still take over the tung oil transaction after all." Since the Maritime Warehouse Company has decided to intervene, it means that the profit will be greatly squeezed. In this case, Sun Jun and his wife may not continue. Seeing that the business of this shop was shattered with hope of getting rich and spending so much effort, Tang Cheng's regret was imagined.
It seems that there is really no free lunch to eat in this world. After sitting quietly for a while, Tang Cheng's mind cheered up from his depression, "I understand, it's time to leave. Just say goodbye today! If you have a destiny in the future, you should continue your long night trip."
Zheng Lingyi's body shook suddenly, "Don't you want to make money, why are you in a hurry to leave?"
"I want to make money. After all, only by having money can we make our family and myself live better. This is also the reason why I came to Yangzhou." Tang Cheng did not hide it at all, but what puzzled him was Zheng Lingyi's meaning.
"Among so many people I know, everyone wants money, but Tang Cheng, you are the first to say it frankly." After saying this, Zheng Lingyi smiled, "Although the Yangzhou Maritime Warehouse will intervene in the end, the price is still unknown. In addition, Yangzhou Maritime Warehouse has another authority, which is to designate a tung oil supplier."
Just like the autumn wind blowing under the warm sun, Zheng Lingyi pondered for a moment and said in an inadvertent tone: "No one is the pointing point, but we have no one to trust recently. Let's point it to you. As for the price, Tang Cheng, you first draw up one, and then discuss it. Since you are interested in doing this business, you should still understand the market."
Zheng Lingyi's words were extremely indifferent, but the weight of these words could kill people. What she just promised was a sea of gold and silver, a franchise supplier with some pricing power! Under the current situation, whoever grasps this would be the same as controlling the lifeblood of marine merchants and tung oil merchants at the same time. How much profit is there? Even if Tang Cheng had worked in a company in later generations and had seen the world, he couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.
The benefits are enough and great enough that Tang Cheng needs to take several deep breaths in succession and recite "Lie" four or five times before he can calm down and return to normal thinking.
This time I thought for an extremely long time. During this period, Zheng Lingyi didn't say anything, and just silently pillowed on Tang Cheng's shoulder and listened to the sound of the wind and sunshine.
"If what I see is not bad, no matter what I see, the most powerful person in the imperial palace in Chang'an City is the four families. Since Lord Wu and the prince have sent people here," after a long time, Zheng Lingyi finally spoke to Tang Cheng, but what he asked was a very strange question, "I wonder if anyone has ever come from Princess Taiping's Mansion and Prince Anguo's Mansion?"
"You know a lot. Yangzhou is richest in the world, while marine merchants are richest in Yangzhou. Even if they don't do this, they will only be for the fight between Wu and Li, and the Princess' Mansion and the Princess' Mansion will come."
