Chapter 246

The actions of the young master of the Li family in Jinan Prefecture were soon deliberately spread to the ears of other wealthy families.

Countless people are actually waiting for the first person to eat crabs.

The Li family cut through the mess quickly. Although they did not have the foundation that the Langya Wang family had for many years, they had the determination and courage of a new upstart.

They took the initiative to find Yue Lin, who was naturally happy to accept it, and even offered the first 100 places to receive a limited-time discount of 300 taels to apply for a certificate.

On the contrary, the further behind the people are in applying for the pass, the higher the price will be.

Yue Lin used a small pass to force the Wang family's men to fall apart.

After all, who would be willing to risk being regarded as a Japanese pirate for smuggling when they can spend some money on honest sea trade?

After all, Weihaiwei's preparations for the Japanese army were not just for show. They also had accumulated military exploits and served the imperial court.

If someone happens to not have a pass, Qiu Ba will not talk nonsense and will just cut off the head to receive the merit.

Regarding Yue Lin's methods, the Li family had decided to surrender resolutely. Li Yongjiang even shipped a large amount of grain from Jinan Prefecture and gave it all to Yue Lin without taking any money.

"This is the sincerity of my Li family! Mr. Yue has worked so hard for the country and the people. These grains are what our merchants want!"

Li Yongjiang bowed his hands and said, "I hope you will accept it, don't dislike it!"

Mu Ying looked at this person and felt that he was quite deep in the city and good at seizing opportunities.

Before the local wealthy families expressed their opinions, they dared to make a desperate move and invest all in Yue Lin.

This courage can also further gain Yue Lin's favor.

"Now that my adoptive father has delegated power, Yue Lin has taken such drastic measures. I wonder how the government will talk about it!"

Mu Ying sighed: "This brother-in-law is good at everything, but he is too trouble-making! I am afraid that the affairs of the court will be left to Wenzhong and the others!"

——

Fengtian Temple.

Before the emperor entered the court, the ministers were already whispering among themselves and discussing in groups.

"Have you heard? Yue Lin actually opened a sea trade in Weihaiwei!"

"The emperor has issued an order that civilians are not allowed to engage in maritime trade! How can Yue Lin be a peacemaker? He is clearly competing with the country for profit!"

"Look at what Hu Xiang means. You and I must not be the first to speak out!"

Go to court!

As Commander Mao Xiang of the Jinyiwei said "Come to court", all the officials suddenly became quiet.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was ashen. As an emperor, Lao Zhu himself regrets it now, very much!

This time he delegated power, Yue Lin really didn't regard himself as an outsider!

The emperor said that sea trade among the people was not allowed. Yue Lin said, let sea trade be liberalized!

This special girl is clearly working against the imperial court!

Lao Zhu, who had been holding back his stomach for a long time, naturally had no kind words for the officials.

"If you have something to do, start to act, if nothing happens, leave the court!"

All the officials looked at each other, and they could all tell that the emperor was in a bad mood today.

"Your Majesty, the humble minister Hu Weiyong has something to report!"

"explain!"

Hu Weiyong took one step forward, bowed and saluted and said: "The imperial envoy Yue Lin implemented three strategies to pacify the Japanese at Weihaiwei. From what I can see, these are all actions that are eager for success!"

"It is detrimental to the country and ignores the actions of the people. I hope the emperor will stop it! This will be a blessing to our Ming Dynasty!"

As soon as Hu Weiyong expressed his stance, the officials of the Huaixi Group were ready to take action and were ready to support the Prime Minister and express his stance.

Seeing the impatience of the officials, Zhu Yuanzhang had an imperceptible sneer on his lips.

"Your Majesty, I think that what Prime Minister Hu said is wrong."

The only courtier who could compete with Hu Weiyong was sincere Liu Bowen.

"In the past, the merchant king's strategy of enriching the country and strengthening the army was also criticized and not understood by others."

"How can Prime Minister Hu know whether Yue Lin's move is beneficial to the country?"

"Besides, Yue Lin was ordered by the emperor to pacify the Japanese. If he is tied up, he might as well stay in Jinling and continue to be a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy!"

Liu Bowen and Hu Weiyong are facing each other tit for tat, and the forces behind them are also fighting overtly and covertly.

As long as the country is governed by men of letters, party strife is inevitable.

For the monarch, how to control party disputes has become an indicator of political level.

It is obvious that Lao Zhu has great skills. No matter how big the commotion between the two parties is, the emperor will ultimately decide the matter.

"Liu Yushi can forget that Yue Lin has a lot of money on his face. How can he compare with Shang Jun?"

"Hu Xiang was also a minor official back then. Who knew he would become the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty today?"

The two sides were at loggerheads, and they were at loggerheads because of Yue Lin's "three strategies to pacify Japan."

Xu Daze is a leisurely old man. As the leader of the generals, he knows his position well and should not get involved in political affairs too much.

Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, Chang Mao, Lan Yu and others were also warned.

Unless the emperor asked a question, Xu Da would take the initiative to speak.

After all, as a brother since childhood, Xu Da knew the temperament of the current emperor very well.

"Your Majesty, I think Yue Lin has made great achievements in governing Fengyang before and is a very talented official."

Li Wenzhong didn't want to speak at first, but recalling the letter sent by Mu Ying, he had no choice but to step forward and intercede for his future "brother-in-law".

What's more, Yue Lin's three treasures on campus also helped him overcome difficulties.

Xu Da kept signaling with his eyes that Li Wenzhong should not get involved in political affairs. This was a taboo for military officers!

You, Li Wenzhong, have become Cao Guogong. Why do you want to take care of this matter of peace between Japan and Japan?

Li Wenzhong gave a wry smile, expressing his helplessness, and said again: "From my perspective, it is better to give Yue Hanlin two months to see how effective his three strategies to pacify Japan are!"

You will see immediate results in two months!

Officials from all sides of the DPRK and China observed three seconds of silence for Yue Lin. After all, when they saw Yue Lin two months later, they would probably have lost their heads.

"Since Wenzhong has spoken, we will give Yue Lin two months!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Retreat from the court!"

——

Weihaiwei.

In the past, big local households in Sanfengjiao ignored the situation.

Today's Sanfengjiao, big investors say it's too high to reach!

There is an endless stream of people queuing up to apply for sea trade passes!

The tariff is only 10% of the value of the goods, but you can earn three times if you resell it from Japan, and three times more if you resell it back to Ming Dynasty. The profit of 10% is just drizzle!

Big investors are not stupid and will naturally choose the most favorable conditions.

The big family members who had previously expressed their unswerving attitude and followed the Wang family went to Sanfengjiao in the blink of an eye to apply for a sea trade pass first!

What surprised them even more was that the Li family had already made their first business and earned several times the money from the sale!

I heard that the young master of the Li family, Li Yongjiang, killed several real Japanese and was exempted from the tariff!

Who in a wealthy family doesn't raise a few fierce and brave servants?

Killing Japanese pirates can be exempted from tariffs, everyone is instantly red-eyed!

After all, you still have to save money if you can!

The Li family made a lot of money and even formed a friendship with Yue Lin.

Other big business owners are not at a loss either. As wallflowers, they just want to earn some money.

Only the Langya Wang family suffered losses, and their Wang family firmly opposed the "three strategies to quell the Japanese".

Now he was gradually reduced to a mere commander, and in the end he had no choice but to send Wang Mian to Sanfengjiao.

"When someone from the Wang family arrives, tell me! If you don't kill him, I'll write my name upside down."
