After introducing the situation in Quanzhou one by one, Ye Yuan was very grateful.
The information I got from Ding Yunyi saved me a lot of unnecessary trouble.
However, Ding Yunyi's real purpose is not all here. He suddenly changed the subject and said: "Brother-in-law, there were successive fierce battles in Penghu. First, Hitachi Gongbaota, then Oniohmaru, and finally Liu Xiang. The troops suffered heavy losses and are in urgent need of replenishment.
"
Ye Yuan was a civil servant and did not know this. He only regarded it as three fierce battles, and naturally suffered great losses: "Of course, Xiang Wen helped the court solve problems and fought countless bloody battles. The court must not forget it. When the number of troops is reduced, it can be recruited again. Penghu
If it’s not enough, you can go to Quanzhou and other places to convene.”
Having said this, seeing a smile on Ding Yunyi's face, he suddenly realized.
Quanzhou is Zheng Zhilong's territory, where can outsiders easily get their hands on it?
The frowning man thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "There is a way. Xiang Wen, you can wait here with peace of mind. After I officially take office, it will be three to five months at most, one or two months at least, and I will definitely give you a gift."
A group of people come here, you just have to choose among them."
What Ding Yunyi wanted was his words. Although he didn't know what method Ye Yuan was going to use in the first place, seeing how sure he said it, he was already confident.
According to Ye Yuan's character, these things cannot be done in vain, and there are still many things that will depend on him in the future. Ding Yunyi's mind suddenly changed and he said: "There is one more thing. I am planning to start a shipbuilding company in Penghu.
I don’t need a tael of silver from Fujian, I will raise all the expenses myself. Firstly, our Penghu fleet can have a repair place, and secondly, foreign ships can also be repaired and replenished here, and I can earn some money to supplement my expenses. Brother-in-law
If you are willing, Yun Yi can be counted as a brother-in-law."
Ye Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this. This was really a piece of pie in the sky.
If a shipyard like this wants to build its own ships, it will have to spend a lot of money and effort, but if it just repairs and supplies, it will be much easier.
How many ships pass through Penghu in a year? If you set up a transit place here, there will be great profits. What Ding Yunyi means is that he does not need to pay a tael of silver himself, but there will definitely be no less when it comes to dividends every year.
Own.
Before he officially took office, he had such an opportunity to make money. The more he looked at his brother-in-law, the more he fell in love with him. He felt that making friends with him was the most satisfying thing. At that moment, he kept saying politely: "How can this happen?
How? Although Xiang Wen has good intentions, I still have to pay for the money. I am short of money at the moment, but I will definitely make up for it in the future."
"Brother-in-law, we are all family members, why should we be so polite?" Ding Yunyi said with a smile.
Ye Yuan thought for a moment: "Since Xiang Wen said this, I am shameless. If Xiang Wen needs any help in the future, he only needs to send someone a letter."
The two were polite to each other for a while, and when it was time to eat, Ding Yunyi asked Duan Saner to prepare the meal.
Yunyi was tired of eating the diced fish on the dinner table. Ye Yuan had been in the capital for a long time, and it was rare for him to eat such fresh fish, so he was full of praise for what he ate.
Ding Yunyi was amused when he heard this. There will come a time when you will frown when you see a fish.
Putting down his chopsticks, Ye Yuan suddenly said mysteriously: "Xiang Wen, you and I are our own people, and there are some things I can tell you. It doesn't hurt. When I left the capital this time, I heard some things. I am afraid that Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet,
Something is going to happen."
Ding Yunyi was startled. Isn't that right? Judging by the time, Wen Tiren can still be the chief minister of the cabinet for a few more years. What can happen now?
Ye Yuan sneered a few times: "Zhou Yanru was kind to Wen Tiren back then. Wen Tiren relied on Zhou Yanru to enter the cabinet. He relied on Zhou Yanru's authority to constantly exclude dissidents and gradually consolidated his position in the cabinet. Later, the two finally fell out.
In the spring of the fifth year, Li Jiucheng, the governor of Shandong, rebelled, captured Dengzhou, and imprisoned the governor Sun Yuanhua. The imperial court sent Liu Yulie, the Minister of War, to lead his troops to conquer, but they returned without success. Many people inside and outside the court believed that the prime minister was not worthy of him, and they criticized Zhou Yanru for his dirty deeds.
A group gathered to impeach Zhou Yanru. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Wen Tiren. He fanned the flames everywhere and instigated his party members to impeach Zhou Yanru. Wen Tiren impeached Zhou Yanru for improper hiring, causing Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Shandong he recommended, to lose the city of Dengzhou. This
The guilt is not light."
Ding Yunyi nodded slightly, and Ye Yuanxuan continued: "But Zhou Yanru has won the trust of the emperor, and even with such accusations, Zhou Yanru's position is still unshakable. Later, Wang Kun, the eunuch of the Xuanfu, followed Wen Tiren's will and slandered the 'Emperor Xi' fabricated by Zhou Yanru
The arrogance of "people" was said by the emperor. In fact, the inventor of this sentence was Wang Kun himself, not Zhou Yanru. The emperor saw that the problem involved him, so he raised this sentence for questioning. Zhou Yanru had something to say
It was difficult to argue, and Wen Tiren also revealed that he had accepted bribes from the leader of the giant thief god, and some of his party members lost power one after another. Zhou Yanru, who was in a desperate situation, had to retreat. In the name of illness, he resigned. In this way,
Wen Tiren naturally became the chief minister of the cabinet."
"Where is Wen Tiren now?" Ding Yunyi asked.
Ye Yuan looked outside at first, and then lowered his voice: "He is not a good person either. After he became the chief minister of the cabinet, he was obsessed with excluding dissidents and attacking political opponents. He felt that he had made too many enemies, and he was afraid that he would cause trouble.
Others retaliated. In order not to leave any clues for others, all the documents he submitted to the emperor and the relevant documents drawn up by the cabinet were not stored in the files in an attempt to destroy the evidence of crime. During his reign, countless people impeached him.
Instead of overthrowing Wen Tiren, these people set themselves on fire. Some were dismissed from office, some were exiled, and some were even beaten to death with sticks on the spot."
At this point, he sneered again and again: "Wen Tiren is vicious and vicious, and he will never let go of anyone who has offended him. Wang Cheng'en once said in front of the emperor several times that Wen Tiren is not useful and has too many enemies, so he cannot be the head of the cabinet.
In the position of assistant, how could he not be jealous when these words reached Wen Tiren's ears? But Wang Chengen has the emperor's trust more than him, so he cannot be touched. But according to his character, how can he let it go? "
"What can he do to Wang Chengen?" Ding Yunyi said nonchalantly.
Who would have thought that Ye Yuan's words would surprise Ding Yunyi: "I heard that the incident of 'Tingyu Tower' in Hangzhou is related to Wen Tiren."
"What? I'm afraid this is impossible, right?" Ding Yunyi was shocked and said in disbelief.
No matter how much Wen Tiren hated Wang Chengen, he would not send an assassin to kill Wang Chengen. Once this matter was exposed, it would be a crime for everyone to be executed.
Based on Wen Tiren's character, how could he do such a risky and foolish thing?
