"Maritime trade, grain, business!" Qi Ning leaned on the chair and smiled: "In this way, the economic lifeline of the East China Sea is really controlled by the three major families."

Qin Yuege said: "However, there are quite a few taxes paid to the court every year in the East China Sea. The people of Northern Han have been consuming them all over the years. The court raised food and grass from various places. The money and grain provided to the court in the East China Sea are mainly collected from the three major families. It is said that nearly half of the taxes paid out by the three major families, which is not an exaggeration, and the three major families have never owed taxes."

Qi Ning's eyes turned around. Thinking that the court was indeed very surprised in terms of finance in recent years, especially in the Qinhuai War, the consumption of Chu and Han countries was extremely heavy. The three major families in the East China Sea have always provided taxes to the court, which is also an important source of finance in the East China Sea. From the financial perspective, the court will not easily move them. What's more, the court had promised to treat these three major families well. Now that the Northern Han Dynasty has not yet pacified, the Chu court will certainly not rely on its own words.

"Yes, after pacifying the East China Sea, what's the relationship between these three major families?" Qi Ning pondered for a moment and finally asked: "Is there still a relationship between in-laws?"

Qin Yuege shook his head and said, "As far as I know, except for the in-laws and in-laws between these families decades ago, since our Great Chu recaptured the East China Sea, the three major families have never had a marriage, and they have not moved much between each other."

Qi Ning nodded slightly, thinking that these three major families were not too stupid. If they continued to interact and had a close relationship, the court would naturally pay close attention to these three families.

Although the combined wealth of these three major families is indeed very huge, with the East China Sea Navy stationed on the edge, it is like a big sword hanging above the heads of the three major families, so the three major families will naturally not pose too much threat.

"Mr. Marquis, I still have some official duties in my humble position. Please leave first." Qin Yuege stood up and bowed.

Qi Ning smiled and said, "If Qin Facao has something to do, just go and do it."

Qin Yuege gave a deep bow, said he would leave, took a few steps, and paused. Seeing this, Qi Ning asked, "Is there anything else?"

Qin Yuege turned around and bowed again, without saying anything, and stepped back.

When Tian Xuerong saw Brother Qin Yue leave, she breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did outsiders be present, and she was an official, but she felt very uncomfortable. Seeing her relaxed, Qi Ning smiled and said, "Why, aren't you used to such occasions?"

"No." Tian Xuerong shook her head slightly and said with a little confusion: "Mr. Marquis, why do you want to see this Lord Qin? Why did you let me be here?"

"I just want you to stay by my side." Qi Ning smiled and then said, "What is the impression of the Donghai Jiang family?"

"Donghai Jiang Family?" Tian Xuerong smiled slightly and said, "Of course I know that there are not many people in the Donghai Jiang Family."

"Oh?" Qi Ning stood up, sat down on the chair next to his wife, and asked, "What do you think of Donghai Jiang family outside?"

Tian Xuerong shook her head and said, "I don't know how to evaluate it, but when I mention the Donghai Jiang family, I will think of the Donghai Jiang family's fleet. It is said that the Donghai Jiang family does maritime trade and there are many cargo ships. Once, they can make money every day. There are many shops in the capital that have goods purchased from the Jiang family, and the prices are not cheap."

“Purchase?”

"Honor Marquis has never been to the Antique Treasure Zhai?" Tian Xuerong blinked her eyes and was charming and charming: "In many big treasure hailings in the capital, there are treasures transported by the Jiang family from overseas, and many of them are obtained from the bottom of the sea. As far as I know, as long as the treasures of the Jiang family are put on the cabinet, they will take action almost instantly."

Qi Ning said "Oh", and Tian Xuerong continued: "There are many things to be used as medicine among the sea goods, and the Jiang family's sea goods are the most authentic, that is, our Tian family's pharmaceutical store, and we also have sea goods from the Jiang family. By the way, there are pearls!" At this point, he suddenly stopped and did not continue.

When Qi Ning heard what she said, he asked, "What's wrong with Pearl?"

"Nothing!" Tian Xuerong's cheeks were slightly red.

Qi Ning's body slightly tilted, lowered her voice and said, "What else can't be said between us?"

Tian Xuerong hesitated for a moment before whispering: "Pearl Pearl Powder is used to apply to the face, which can delay aging and make the skin whiter. The pearls shipped back from the Jiang family are all top-notch products and have the best effect. I have used them too."

Qi Ning laughed, Tian Xuerong felt a little hot on her face and glared at Qi Ning: "Why are you laughing at?"

"No wonder my wife's skin is as beautiful as jade, and she is even more delicate than a little girl. She turns out she is applying pearl powder to her face." Qi Ning teased: "It's just that my wife has always been frugal. I remember the first time I went to your Tian family, even the tea leaves were hehe. I didn't expect to spend money on her face."

Tian Xuerong was even more embarrassed and said softly: "I have no other preferences, I just spent some money on it."

Qi Ning knew in his heart that the Tian family's pharmaceutical store is a big medicine store after all, and the annual profit is quite large. It is not an ordinary wealthy family. It is completely affordable for Tian Xuerong to buy some pearls and crush them into powder to apply them to their faces.

He had no impression of the East China Sea before, and he had never paid much attention to the East China Sea. He knew a little about the East China Sea, because it was simply because of Jiang Suiyun.

Jiang Suiyun is the son of Jiang Mantian, the head of the Jiang family. Jiang Mantian and Zhuo Qingyang, the director of Qionglin Academy, were old friends. Zhuo Qingyang recommended Jiang Suiyun to the court, so Jiang Suiyun went to the capital as an official. Qi Ning was deeply impressed by Jiang Suiyun. When the Black Scale Camp was about to be rebuilt, the King of Huainan almost used Jiang Suiyun to seize control of the Black Scale Camp. Although his efforts were in vain, Jiang Suiyun still had an job in the Ministry of War.

Qi Ning was about to ask again, but Wu Dalin had already appeared outside the hall and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, someone is here to pay homage and beg you to receive him."

Qi Ning stood up and asked, "Who is it?"

"There are two people who come to worship." Wu Dalin replied: "One called himself Jiang Mantian, and the other called Lu Feihang!"

Qi Ning looked back at Tian Xuerong and smiled and said, "Madam, we should solve the problem of setting up a number in the Tian family's medicine shop." He went to the main seat and ordered, "Let them come in!"

After Wu Dalin stepped down, Tian Xuerong hurriedly stood up and said to Qi Ning: "Is I avoiding it?"

"No need to avoid it, the next thing is your business." Qi Ning said: "I don't know much about trade, so it's more suitable for you here."

Tian Xuerong hesitated for a moment and thought that it was not a trivial matter for the Tian family to set up an account in Donghai. Jiang Mantian is the president of the Donghai Chamber of Commerce. If Qi Ning comes forward, Jiang Mantian will naturally properly arrange the Tian family's medicine business. Although Jiang Mantian is the richest man in the East China Sea, a mere businessman is nothing in front of Qi Ning, and his status is even more different.

Not waiting for too long, Wu Dalin had already led several people in.

First, one person was wearing a long blue gown, a gray belt around his waist, a gray crown, a thin body, and a long beard under his jaw. He looked like he was only fifty years old, and his whole body exuded an elegant temperament. Next to this person was an old man in his sixties, tall and obese, wearing a long purple gown, and a big belly, as if he was pregnant for ten months.

Behind the two were five or six followers, all carrying gift boxes.

When Qi Ning saw them coming in, she didn't get up. Tian Xuerong was about to get up, but Qi Ning coughed. Tian Xuerong glanced at Qi Ning and saw Qi Ning winking at her. She understood it and did not get up.

The man in blue looked energetic and brisk. Although he appeared outside the hall door with the fat man, after entering the hall, he had already opened the distance from the fat man in a few steps. When he arrived in the hall, he had already saluted: "Caomin Jiang Mantian, pay homage to the Marquis!" He even knelt down seriously. The fat man quickly followed and knelt down next to Jiang Mantian. He said angrily: "Caomin Cao Min Lu Feihang, pay homage to the Marquis!"

However, Qi Ning did not immediately let the two get up, looked at them for a few seconds, and then slowly said: "Jiang Mantian is the head of the Jiang family who does maritime trade?"

"It's the grass people." Jiang Mantian's voice was clear: "Thanks to the court's favor, the grace is so great that the grass people are specially granted the grass people's right to trade at sea. The Jiang family is very grateful and is willing to serve the court to the death!"

Qi Ning laughed and then said, "Let's get up. The two are old. If they kneel down for a long time, this marquis will lose their etiquette."

The two of them thanked each other and stood in front of Qi Ning. Qi Ning then pointed to Tian Xuerong and said, "This is the Tian Dongjia of the Tian Family Pharmaceutical Store in Beijing. You must have heard of it."

Jiang Mantian and the others turned around and saluted Tian Xuerong, looking very respectful. Tian Xuerong thought that Jiang Mantian was also the president of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, and was nearly 20 years older than him. Qi Ning was a noble waiter for the brocade clothes, so he could naturally treat the two merchants without saying anything, but he could not lose his manners and stood up and give gifts to them.

"I wonder what you two are there to see me?" Qi Ning didn't let the two sit down and asked straight to the point.

Jiang Mantian and Lu Feihang looked at each other. Lu Feihang had already taken two steps forward and fell to the ground again: "Caomin came here to apologize to the Marquis. The rebellious son was blind and did not recognize the Marquis' true appearance. He actually offended the Marquis and deserved to be a death sentence. Caomin Caomin only hopes that the Marquis can be suspenseful!"

"Oh?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "You are for your sake, your son is Lu Ziheng, right?"

"Yes, yes!" Lu Feihang said hurriedly: "The rebellious son Lu Ziheng, willful Hu Wei, ignorant of the world, offended the Marquis, was extremely confused, and asked!"

"Lu Feihang, your son is confused. It seems that you are not much better." Qi Ning sighed and said, "You still think that Lu Ziheng is just offending this marquis? This marquis is not a petty person, and Lu Ziheng didn't know his identity at that time. Even if there was some friction, this marquis would not really blame him. You don't know where he was wrong now?"

Lu Feihang raised his head and said "ah". Seeing Qi Ning looking at Tian Xuerong, he immediately understood. He knelt on the ground and turned to Tian Xuerong, and said with a sad face: "Tiantian Dong family, the rebellious son offended you. I already know the matter. He is a very stupid person. You don't remember the villain's fault. Be tolerant."

Although Lu Ziheng is a bastard, it does not mean that his father is also a bastard. Moreover, Tian Xuerong also knows that Lu Feihang is also a well-known figure in the East China Sea. At such an old age, he actually kneeled in front of him. He felt a little reluctant and hurried forward to support him and said, "Master Lu, don't do this, you get up and talk!"
