These words made Li Zhigang feel very appropriate.

As long as you are a human being, you are not willing to admit that you are narrow-minded or have a low vision!

"Thank you for your frank reminder!" Li Zhigang clasped his fists and said gratefully.

"Hi!" Liu Guan waved his hand with a smile, "You are just too busy. I didn't expect this for a moment!"

Li Zhigang felt even more comfortable in his heart and smiled, "I didn't expect that Shaoying, you are better now than before, and you are not a little bit better!"

Liu Guan smiled heartily, "You are close to Zhu! You are a close friend of mine. How can you not be in a high state of mind?"

"Haha, yes! Haha!" Li Zhigang laughed.

Then he thought about it and frowned, "Well, you're right! As for me, as long as the political achievements of the new policy are in hand, there will be no worries about the future. There is no need to compete with them for a while!"

"Yes, can Master Long live to treat you badly?" Liu Guan said with a smile.

"The more you are, the more you will be more peaceful, which is called retreating as advancement!" Li Zhigang thoughtfully, "In this way, today I am a little... I have said so heavily!"

Liu Guan thought, "Let me go back and give you a memorial to Master Long live, and tell me about today's affairs in detail. Remember, don't say Tie Xuan and the others are bad. Just say you let those taxis who are the only ones outside the car

The officials and gentry were upset and they were just talking too hard for a while!"

"I know!" Li Zhigang nodded and sighed, "I have such a confidant in life, so what else can my husband ask for!"

"I'm so serious, who made you my friend?" Liu Guan also sighed.

"Yeah..." Li Zhigang pondered for a moment, "Tomorrow I will send someone to inform Tie Xuan and go to Suzhou!"

Going to Suzhou is the best way to do it now.

Hangzhou is where the governor is located, under the noses of Tie Xuan and others.

Now that the students in the three provinces have stopped the exam, the scholars, officials and gentry surrounded the imperial envoys. The best way is to leave him, Li Zhigang.

This definitely gave Tie Hyun enough face! Otherwise, Tie Hyun and the others were not human inside and outside!

It was also his rare concession and compromise that Li Zhigang had.

"Have you eaten yet?"

After figuring out these joints, Li Zhigang was in a good mood and smiled and told the outside world, "Tell the kitchen to open the fire, Shaoying and I want to have a few drinks!"

"No, no!" Liu Guan stood up, "Home is ready, I have to go back!"

"Tsk..." Li Zhigang said unhappy, "It's rare that we'll get together once!"

"It's not okay if you don't go back! The whole family is waiting for me!" Liu Guan smiled, "If I don't go back, the old and the young will not eat!"

Li Zhigang pulled Liu Guan, "What's the matter? I'll send someone to say to my aunt and sister-in-law!" As he said that, someone shouted to the outside world, "Tell the kitchen... No, let's go outside and call a table of Eight-Treasure Swallow Winged Mats

, delivered to Lord Liu's mansion! Then I told the old lady of the Liu family that she would stay here for me! She said that I would go there later and kowtow to her!"

“No, no…”

"Why are we polite? Let's have a walk, the scenery of Accord over there is a nice place!"

Li Zhigang pushed Liu Guan and turned around and gave him a look when he left.

~

The book boy who has been Li Zhigang since childhood has been master and servant for a lifetime, and he can tell what it means with just one look.

He hurriedly gave orders, and then turned to the account.

I put twenty pieces of faucets of one hundred silver dollars, folded them and placed them in a kraft paper envelope, and placed them at the bottom of the food box.

After thinking about it, I took it out and put it in close proximity.

Then he said to other servants of the Li family, "Hurry up and make the table for the master, I will go and deliver the table for the Lord Liu family in person!"

~~

In the elegant building where the imperial envoy Li Zhigang travels, you can see the beautiful scenery of West Lake from afar.

The two of them sat opposite each other in the building, and there were servants who had laid tablecloths and placed tableware.

"The beautiful scenery of West Lake is unparalleled!" Li Zhigang wiped his hands with a veil and smiled, "To be honest, but in terms of the scenery, this place is a bit better than the capital!"

"It's even more extravagant!" Liu Guan put his hands behind his back and looked out at West Lake. "The extravagantness of the capital is nothing more than the moon. And the extravagantness here..." As he said, he shook his head and said, "It can be seen everywhere, and it's even unheard of!"

"Oh?" Li Zhigang smiled, "Is there something in Shaoying's words?"

"You are about to go to Suzhou, and there are wealthy families in Suzhou!" Liu Guan whispered, "Their old man is 60 years old in September! In order to celebrate, the filial son and grandson in the family built a garden for the old man. How much did it cost?"

Li Zhigang thought about it, "How many?"

"Four hundred thousand quick silver dollars!" Liu Guan sighed, "That's 400,000, not four hundred or four thousand, but four hundred thousand!" As he said, he sneered, "I heard that just a few longevity pine trees in the garden, I used 30,000 yuan.

There were a few rockery rockery, and 70,000 to 80,000 yuan... I also specially burned a whole set of porcelain with longevity patterns in Foshan... It was priceless!"

"hiss....."

Li Zhigang was also from a wealthy family, and he took a breath when he heard this.

"His money blew from the wind?" Li Zhigang asked.

"Big salt merchant..." Liu Guan snorted, "Big silk merchant, big porcelain merchant..."

Li Zhigang pondered, "Foshan is all related? I'm afraid it's also a big sea merchant?"

Guangdong is rich, but the places where it is rich are those in the Guangzhou area.

And among those places, Foshan is outstanding.

Because in addition to trade, Foshan also has industries such as iron making and porcelain making. Especially iron making, it is well-known both at home and abroad!

The so-called four gatherings in the world are the richest city in the Ming Dynasty.

In the middle, the capital is the capital, in the south, in the south, in Suzhou is the east, and in Hankou is the west...

"They have a backer behind their family?" Li Zhigang asked again.

"Qi Zhu's uncle's family, the Guangdong Provincial Governor's envoy!" Liu Guan turned around, sat down and smiled.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhigang's eyebrows stood up.

Qi Zhuo was nominated as the Right Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Hongwu 30th year, but because the crown prince at that time was the current emperor, he wanted to promote the person in his bag, this minister did not become the one.

But now he is also a rank of officials, and he is also a rank of officials in Guangdong Province!

Besides, this person has a strong root. Xu Ben, the former Guangdong Provincial Governor, was also his father-in-law.

"This Suzhou noble family not only had a nephew of the governor's minister, but since the Chinese dynasty, there were seven Jinshi and twenty-four Juren. There were six fourth-rank officials, nine fifth-rank officials, and more sixth-rank officials, and sixth-rank officials, and more sixth-rank officials, and sixth-rank officials, and sixth-rank officials.

It's here!" Liu Guan continued to smile.

At this time, the servant tiptoed over with the steamed bass that had just been out of the pot, put it on the table and then retreated.

Li Zhigang looked at the carefully cooked sea bass and said, "Shaoying, you probably don't mean anything you say?"

"When you just talked about the new policy, you just said something. Do you still remember?" Liu Guan smiled.

Li Zhigang thought about it, "Forgot!"

"You, you!" Liu Guan laughed, then said seriously, "Open the sea!"

~

Although the Ming Dynasty is booming in maritime trade, it still continues the old policies of the Hongwu period on the surface and does not fully lift the maritime ban.

As someone who understands the emperor the most, Li Zhigang knew that the greatest intention of the emperor to use foreign troops for years was to expand the sea transportation infinitely so as to achieve a comprehensive opening of the sea with the flow.

"In my opinion! After the new policy, the matter of opening the sea will fall on your shoulders!" Liu Guan picked up the ivory chopsticks and ate a bite of sea bass, as if savoring the deliciousness of it, and said, "The new policy is difficult, it is open.

The sea is even harder!”

As he said that, he glanced at Li Zhigang, "You think, the new policy is for land! For officials and gentry, land is fate, but for the rich, sea trade is their fate! If they cannot form a monopoly once they are released, then

Can they still be called tyrants?"

Li Zhigang narrowed his eyes and thoughtful.

Liu Guan said this very well, Haimao is a gold medal that can’t be finished.

Today, in the Ming Dynasty, the maritime trade in the Ming Dynasty, there are these maritime business families.

The emperor wanted to trade in sea, but no one allowed to monopolize trade in sea, and several companies dominated.

"Come on, have a drink!" Liu Guan raised his glass with a smile, "I wish you a prosperous future!"

"Haha!" Li Zhigang smiled, "What do you think of Shaoying?"

"I have a lot of ideas, but I'm timid!" Liu Guan smiled bitterly, "I talk about military action on paper. But if I really do it, I'll be at a loss. Compared to you, I'll be in the sky and the earth. You are in the sky and I'm in the sky.

land!"

Li Zhigang pondered for a moment, "The reason why you are at a loss is because no one supports you!" As he said that, he put down his wine glass and pondered for a long time.

"Suzhou magistrate, I want to get rid of it!" Li Zhigang said slowly, "You have no intention of being a provincial governor... With your fourth-rank participation in politics, it is not a grievance to temporarily take charge of Suzhou Prefecture!"

Suddenly, Liu Huan beat up his chopsticks.

"Don't joke!"

"No kidding!" Li Zhigang said seriously, "You have to help me!"

Liu Guan wanted to say something else, suddenly there were noise and scolding outside the plane.

Someone came over and whispered, "Master, are the people in the Censorate driving away the officials, gentry and scholars who are causing trouble?"
