Qian Weiyan looked at the secret message from the clan with a gloomy expression, which was really disturbing!
The facts were found out.
Qian was indeed involved in maritime trade smuggling, and the amount was not small.
The person who instigated this matter was not Qian Wei, who played their team, but Qian Wei, who played Qian Hua, the younger brother of his great-grandfather Qian Liu.
Qian Liu was not only the great-grandfather of Qian Weiyan, but also the founding king of Wuyue.
Qian Hua was raised by Qian Liu since he was a child. Among the five brothers, Qian Liu liked Qian Hua the most. Later, after the founding of Wuyue, Qian Hua was granted the title of Duke of Chu.
After that, although Qian Liu and Qian Hua separated, the descendants of the two families have always had a good relationship.
It is precisely because of this that Qian Weiyan's face looks so ugly.
Pig brain!
If his distant cousin were in front of him right now, Qian Weiyan would be eager to slap him in the face.
They are really pig teammates.
Although Qian Hua's branch is a branch of the Qian family, there is quite a lot of land under his name, and the remaining shadow left by his ancestors is enough to survive.
There is no need to participate in smuggling activities like this.
To take a step back, even if you are greedy for the profits, you shouldn't go out personally. Isn't it good to just send a subordinate or someone else to enter?
"well."
After a long while, Qian Weiyan sighed quietly.
At this point, there is no other way but to apologize.
During the internal investigation, in addition to the self-examination, Qian Weiyan also asked the Queen Mother and Ding Wei to inquire about the situation.
The results are not optimistic.
Officials attach great importance to maritime trade.
Ding Wei even told him one thing. The Shipping Department was related to whether the other party could return to the court. In the next few years, the government would vigorously promote maritime trade.
The situation that maritime trade was not taken seriously by the imperial court changed.
From now on, anyone who wants to get a share of the maritime trade will either cooperate obediently or become the target of severe crackdowns by the imperial court.
Apart from this, there is no other option.
After considering the opinions of all parties, Qian Weiyan thought that his distant cousin should take the initiative to plead guilty and donate all his income over the years.
Then, he would perform meritorious deeds separately, and everything related to maritime trade, such as charts, sailors, ships, etc., would all be presented to the court.
The only thing left is to do everything in human affairs and obey fate, and place our hope in the Queen Mother.
…
…
…
Hangzhou.
"Sir, the Qian family is here again."
"not see!"
Ding Wei waved his hand and was too lazy to talk to Qian's people.
If it were Qian Weyan in person, he would still give him some face.
Who are those outside?
Just a collateral line of the Qian family.
What's the other party's level?
What's his level?
How can you say that you will see it when you see it?
"Yes, I will send them away now."
After saying this, the boy slowly backed away.
"etc."
Ding Wei frowned slightly: "If they come again in the future, there is no need to repay them, and they will all be sent away."
"yes."
The boy was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly.
"Oh."
After the boy retreated, Ding Wei chuckled. The other boy was so confused that he tried to drag him into the water.
Although the things the other party gave were very tempting, Ding Wei still knew the pros and cons.
Besides, Qian Weiyan also said hello to him, so there is no need to pay attention to the people in Hangzhou.
On the other side, the waiter walked up to a fat middle-aged man with high spirits.
"Xiao Langjun, are you free, Mr. Prime Minister?"
Looking at the flattering middle-aged man, the young man said expressionlessly.
"I am busy with official duties and have no time to see you."
"Right."
"My master told me not to come to Shibosi Yamen anymore."
After saying this, the boy turned and left without looking back.
'Pooh!'
Looking at the boy's leaving figure, the middle-aged fat man sighed secretly in his heart.
What the hell.
He had one face when he collected the money, but now he has another face. If there was no trouble at home, he would not even look at such a small person.
The fat middle-aged man is none other than Qian Bingyan, the head of the Yuhang Qian family (Qian Hua).
Although Qian Weiyan sent someone to tell him what to do.
But how can we just give up all our wealth?
Two generations of hard work, hundreds of thousands of family assets, and thousands of fertile farmland, no one can bear to pay tribute directly.
Therefore, Qian Bingyan planned to follow Ding Wei's path.
In order to impress Ding Wei, he even gave up half of his family property, just asking Ding Wei to let him go.
Unexpectedly, Ding Wei refused without hesitation.
"well."
a long time.
Qian Bingyan couldn't help but sigh. In fact, it was not that he had no way out. After two generations of management, it was not impossible for him to escape overseas.
But now, they have been targeted by Ding Wei, and it is impossible to transfer everyone.
…
…
…
Same day.
Zhongjing.
At this moment, Yelu Longxu's mood was even worse than Qian Bingyan's.
During the three campaigns against Goryeo, the Liao Kingdom spent countless manpower, material and financial resources, and finally defeated Goryeo and made the other party a vassal and pay tribute.
However, it has only been a few years?
My little brother is restless.
No, he plans to change his family and join the Song Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty sent people as envoys to the Liao Kingdom. Although it was nominally for the Tiansheng Covenant, it was actually for the affairs of Goryeo.
According to the wishes of Feng Yuan, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, in the future, Goryeo will return to the banner of the Song Dynasty and become a vassal state of the Song Dynasty.
The treaty signed between Liao and Goryeo was thus voided.
In fact, since the defeat of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Longxu has been ready to change the surrounding small countries.
But when this moment came, Yelu Longxu still couldn't restrain the anger in his heart.
Especially Korea.
In the three campaigns against Goryeo, the Liao Kingdom did not achieve a complete victory, but a tragic victory.
To use a term from economics, the sunk costs were so high that the Liao Kingdom was particularly heartbroken when Goryeo changed its gates.
In addition, not only Goryeo, but also the Li family in Xiazhou was restless.
Not long ago, a secret spy came back with news that Li Deming wanted to donate land to the Song Dynasty and only wanted to surrender to the Song court.
Yelu Longxu sometimes thought that if Li Jiqian knew about this, he would jump out of the coffin and slap the prodigal son to death.
Li Jiqian conquered the east and west, and finally secured the territory he has today, but now he was surrendered to the Song Dynasty by Li Deming.
Li Deming's switch to Song Ting was not what made Yelu Longxu angry the most.
What made him most angry was that Li Deming surrendered to the Song Dynasty at the cost of offering his land!
Isn’t this different treatment?
certainly.
Qi returned to Qi, and Yelu Longxu did not lose his mind.
The Song Dynasty was invincible.
Until a method is found to deal with the thunder and fire bombs, the Liao Kingdom will not easily provoke a war.
Bear with him for the time being and let him.
The day the thunder and fire bombs are cracked is the day when the Liao army's cavalry goes south!
"Your Majesty, Mr. Ma and Mr. Zhang have arrived and are waiting for your Majesty's summons outside the palace."
"Xuan!"
Yelu Longxu only summoned two prime ministers of Han origin today. As for the reason, he felt it was necessary to improve the status of the Han people.
After all, to resist the Song Dynasty in the future, the Han people were indispensable.
