Wang Yuan was really right. As a solitary minister, Ye An really couldn't be completely isolated in the court. From the beginning, Wang Yuan said that an isolated minister couldn't get anything done. Even Wei Zheng was not the same.
A lonely minister.
Xia Song is Ye An's first chess piece, and it is also the most unsafe and unstable chess piece. If you want to fully master this chess piece, you must transform him from the origin of his thoughts.
Fortunately, Ye An still has time and a sufficient understanding of history. He knows very well what kind of person Xia Song is. This man with great ambitions and great political ambitions will not fall easily. This is precisely
It's a place he can take advantage of.
From the beginning to the end, Ye An never doubted that Xia Song was impressed by the study of objects. On the contrary, Xia Song was very envious after seeing the benefits brought by studying objects. This is the most critical point.
The scene in the Xuande Tower was of positive significance to both Ye An and Xia Song. They had many similarities in the court, but they also had many differences.
Xia Song saw the benefits of Ye An as a lone minister, and he actually wanted to be like Ye An, but he also knew that he couldn't do without Zuoying. After all, not everyone has such a good family education and the opportunity to obtain an official position.
With the favor of saints.
Looking at Ye An's relaxed look, Xia Song felt that this boy must have been favored by God. Not to mention the Tian family, the prime ministers and officials in the court alone spoke highly of Ye An. The most important thing was that he was almost
None of them are hostile.
You must know that Ye An was not born in Confucianism. No matter how closely he tied the study of studies of things to Confucianism, in fact there was still a huge difference between Ye An's study of studies of studies and Confucianism.
What's more, he still has a lord, and he has connections whether with relatives or generals, but his husband-in-laws, as civil servants, do not reject this.
As for the generals and relatives, they had an indescribable closeness to Ye An... These things made Xia Song puzzled.
While Xia Song was thinking about it, an official wearing a military commander's robe came over. He was tall and muscular. Xia Song knew from his figure that it was Cao Yi. Recently, this famous general in Huanzhou was almost...
Was eaten into a pig by the banquet.
"Brother Ye, you are not doing things properly! We talked about the good things in Huanzhou, why didn't you come to visit your home when we arrived in Tokyo?!"
Cao Yi's loud voice immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding courtiers, but knowing his identity, they could only secretly curse him as "unbecoming." After all, the Cao family is a noble family among the generals and has achieved military exploits. It is not easy to offend such a person.
Xia Song curled his lips and walked away. He didn't want to have anything to do with Jiang Men, but Cao Yi didn't care. She patted Ye An on the shoulder and said, "Changsheng! We agreed in Huanzhou.
The business of Xinlingfang...is that right? How can you break your promise and get fat!"
Looking at the big hands on his shoulders, Ye An smiled helplessly: "Changsheng's mansion is in Xinlingfang, and he won't run away. What does Brother Cao have to worry about?"
"I'm worried you've forgotten me..."
Seeing Cao Yi, an eight-foot-tall strong man speaking to him in such a resentful tone, Ye An subconsciously shuddered and frowned: "Speak carefully, Nanmen Street is the head office of Puhui Company, do you think
If you want to get a piece of the pie, you should go to Gaotou Street first. After all, the Li family is also the owner of Puhui Trading Company, don’t you think?"
"If you don't nod, it's impossible for Li Zunxu to nod. His family only provides money for this business. Although he has taken care of it, after all, it is your Yunzhong County Marquis Mansion that makes the decision, isn't it?"
Ye An looked at Cao Yi, and he didn't expect that he had a thorough understanding of Puhui Company, but unfortunately he didn't understand how Puhui Company operated.
"Brother, I think it's wrong. Qin Mumu and the shopkeepers of each shop are responsible for the daily management, and they are supervised by the eldest princess. Among these shopkeepers, there are also shopkeepers of the Li family shop. You know it! As for the Cao family's desire to invest in shares,
, What my family said doesn’t count, what Qin Mumu said doesn’t count, and of course what the Li family said doesn’t count. It requires the consent of the Yunzhong County Marquis Mansion, the Li family, and the Wang family before your Cao family can join in.”
"Wait...wait...what does this have to do with the Wang family?! Which Wang family?!"
Cao Yi looked surprised. When had the Wang family been involved in the Puhui business? Why didn't he know about it?
Ye An smiled: "Which other Wang family can there be? Of course it is Wang Shangshu's family!"
"Wang Hao?! When did he invest in your Puhui Company?! Besides, he is not the head of the Wang family!"
Ye An shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't care about that. What I took was Wang Hao's thousand guan, which was also part of the shares of Puhui Company. Now this thousand guan has become 80,000 guan, and every year
They are all increasing, do you think the Wang family is one of the owners of Puhui Company? If the Cao family wants to come in, then the three families must agree, and this requires the Cao family to show their strength."
Cao Yi was a little confused by Ye An's words. She shook her carrot-like finger and said: "Chang Sheng, please wait a moment. In other words, whoever wants to invest in... your Puhui firm needs the consent of the three companies.
And if my family wants to invest in shares, we must convince the three of you?"
Ye An nodded: "Yes, that's the truth, otherwise it doesn't matter who says it, it's the rule!"
"Isn't this a difficult rule?! My Cao family is a general, and the Wang family is a civil servant. How can we do business together?!"
Cao Yi almost yelled, but she still held it back and lowered her voice: "Who doesn't know that the business of Puhui Company has become a well-known name in Tokyo. You rent and sell shops all over Tokyo. This must be a big deal."
Action, since you want to do big things, you must spend money. I, the Cao family, have some savings. Don’t you think this is a trend that complements each other? Changsheng, you and I are friends, and Li Zunxu and I have been together since childhood.
Partner, as long as you speak, he will naturally agree. As for the Wang family, I really can’t say anything. The military general came to the Prime Minister’s house. It’s not good if this spreads..."
"You want me to help you lobby these two families? But I can tell you that the eldest princess is very dissatisfied with your eldest wife. This dissatisfaction is not due to family status, but the disdain and disdain between relatives.
, am I clear enough?!"
Cao Yi's face suddenly turned livid, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Your sister-in-law is a stupid woman! I already know this. Offending the eldest princess is simply stupid. I hope that I can live a good life and help you. My brother is willing to take your troublesome sister-in-law in person.
Come and apologize to the eldest princess!"
Ye An nodded slightly. It seemed that Cao Yi himself knew the seriousness of the matter.
As a member of the royal family and the daughter-in-law of the Cao family, Zhao Yingji held back her husband when he went to war. This can no longer be described as stupid.
The unclear cooperative relationship between her and Zhao Zongli and Zhao Zongshuo made it impossible for her to accept the Cao family into the company. Zhao Qingyi also knew this very well, so he made things difficult like this.
Ye An sighed slightly, the eldest princess really treats Puhui Company as a common industry! For such a partner, Ye An must be based on full respect...
