I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 340 Reporting Up
After Yang Zongtai finished speaking, the scene suddenly fell into a dead silence, and the complexions of those Fanbang businessmen turned pale, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Yang Zongtai again.

Time passed slowly like this. After a long time, Louis's lips moved, but no sound came out.

Seeing this, the rest of the foreign merchants, afraid of offending the Ming official in front of them, hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Louis back into the team, and immediately apologized to Yang Zongtai in half-baked Ming official dialect.

"My lord, this matter is our mistake!"

"After three days, we will distribute all the original rewards as agreed!"

When Yang Zongtai heard this, he immediately withdrew his gaze and said slowly.

"After three days, if you haven't paid the reward according to the original agreement, then I will act according to the law of Ming Dynasty!"

When Yang Zongtai said this, he paused, and then added.

"Don't think about using any crooked brains, unless you don't want to trade with Da Ming from now on!"

Seeing this situation, the foreign businessmen, after communicating with each other for a while, immediately bowed slightly and said slowly.

"As you wish, my lord!"

Seeing that the matter was irreversible, those foreign merchants left the court one after another.

"Thank you, my lord, for making the decision for me. Otherwise, when the boss finds out, we will lose our lives. Please accept my respect!"

Seeing this, Qiao Er's face was full of gratitude, and he immediately led the crowd, knelt down on the ground, and saluted Yang Zongtai.

Seeing this situation, Yang Zongtai just waved his hand quite casually and said.

"This official is only acting in accordance with the laws of Ming Dynasty!"

"Since the matter has been resolved, then you all should leave first. I have other things to do next!"

I saw Yang Zongtai retract his gaze and said slowly.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir!"

After Qiao Er heard this, he didn't dare to disturb him anymore, and immediately took his subordinates and left with gratitude.

Seeing this, Yang Zongtai shook his head helplessly, and immediately returned to the room, continuing to deal with the unfinished business.

Not long after, I saw Yang Zongtai's wife pushing the door in with cakes and tea.

She was keenly aware of the tiredness on her husband's face, so she took a step forward, put the pastries and tea aside, and gently pinched Yang Zongtai's shoulders.

"What's the matter, why is my husband so tired?"

Yang Zongtai couldn't help sighing when he heard the words, and complained.

"Hey, although the port is reopened now, the burden on my husband is a lot heavier!"

"Not only do I need to deal with the usual affairs in Quanzhou City, but I am also responsible for the disputes arising from the maritime trade. Being a husband is really exhausting!"

When Yang Zongtai's wife heard the words, a look of worry appeared on her face, and she said slowly.

"How about you report this matter exactly?"

"Let the imperial court send special officials to manage maritime trade disputes. I remember that Mr. Gao Ge, who accompanied you earlier, is in charge of the maritime trade department?"

"In addition, he also sent someone to explain to you, saying that you can report to him if you encounter anything!"

When Yang Zongtai heard the words, he immediately shook his head and refused.

"No, Mr. Gao Ge supports me because he thinks highly of me. How can I bother him with such a trivial matter?"

When Yang Zongtai's wife saw this, her face was full of hesitation, and the strength in her hand also increased a lot. Yang Zongtai grinned in pain, but he didn't dare to attack.

"Then what do you want to do, if you continue like this, your body will not be able to hold on sooner or later!"

"When the time comes, are you going to watch our orphans and widows depend on each other?"

When Yang Zongtai's wife said this, she immediately took out her handkerchief, covered her face and wept.

Seeing this, Yang Zongtai panicked immediately, quickly put his wife in his arms, and comforted him softly.

"Why is my husband willing to let your two mothers depend on each other?"

Lin'er is still young, besides, I haven't seen the day when he passed the examination, besides..."

Before Yang Zongtai finished speaking, his wife exclaimed, and then quickly covered Yang Zongtai's mouth, saying repeatedly.

"Stop talking, I'm afraid you'll..."

Hearing this, Yang Zongtai couldn't help feeling a warm feeling in his heart. He held his wife's hand tightly and said in a deep voice.

"My husband promises you!"

"Ah."

Seeing this, Yang Zongtai's wife burst into laughter immediately, but when she found out about her current situation, her face was full of shyness, she quickly got up from Yang Zongtai's arms, and looked away.

This scene, Yang Zongtai couldn't help recalling the appearance of childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts on both sides. Unknowingly, Yang Zongtai was fascinated by watching it. After a long time, he looked back and said slowly.

"Help me grind ink!"

"Ah."

When Yang Zongtai's wife heard the words, the shyness on her face disappeared, and her gestures exuded a unique demure temperament, which made people feel more relaxed.

After Yang Zongtai's wife finished studying the ink, she quietly stepped aside.

Later, I saw Yang Zongtai pick up a pen and began to write on the letter.

"Old Gao Ge, the next official, Quanzhou Governor Yang Zongtai, has taken the liberty of disturbing you this time, please don't blame Elder Ge!"

"Since the official opening of Quanzhou Port, there have been more and more ships passing through the port every day, and the local people have also found work. The local situation in Quanzhou has also improved day by day!"

"However, with the growing prosperity of trade, the existing problems are gradually exposed, that is, the disputes between the two sides of the trade are becoming more and more serious!"

When Yang Zongtai wrote this, he paused for a moment, and after organizing the language in his mind, he continued.

"The previous notice issued by the imperial court was to let the lower officials be temporarily responsible for the affairs of the sea trade, but the lower officials are too busy to take care of it at the same time. Therefore, the lower officials implore Gao Ge to send special officials to deal with the sea trade. dispute."

"In this way, it will not only benefit the development of maritime trade, but also effectively protect the interests of our Ming merchants!"

After the last word fell, Yang Zongtai heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately put the brush in his hand aside.

After that, Yang Zongtai checked the content of the letter several times from beginning to end, and only after confirming that it was correct, did he call in his cronies, so he ordered.

"Submit this letter to Elder Gao Ge's residence!"

Hearing the words, the confidant immediately responded in a deep voice.

"Yes, my lord!"

Seeing this, Yang Zongtai withdrew his gaze, and immediately added another sentence.

"Pay attention to safety, don't make any mistakes in the middle, understand?"

"Adults, little ones understand!"

……

Capital, Yan Mansion.

After a period of recuperation, Yan Song's complexion improved visibly with the naked eye.

At this moment, he was lying on the bed without any image, listening to Yan Shifan's report.

"Father, things did not go beyond your expectations, so Xu Jie was secretly investigating the treasure ship transformation!"

"Now, he, Xu Jie, has made a fool of himself!"

When Yan Shifan said this, a look of gloating could not help appearing on his face.

After listening to Yan Shifan's words, Yan Song couldn't help frowning, and immediately spoke.

"Idiot, what you know, can Xu Jie not know?"

"He is clearly using this matter to show his attitude to everyone. He, Xu Jie, wants to break my wrist!"

Yan Shifan was reprimanded, his face became more respectful, he turned his eyes to Yan Song, and said slowly.

"Thank you for your father's teaching, the child understands."

When Yan Shifan said this, he immediately changed the subject and continued.

"Father, in recent days, Yan Maoqing often wants to come to visit you, do you want to..."

I saw Yan Song shook his head unobtrusively, and said so.

"Tell Yan Maoqing, let him calm down, don't run to my side if there is nothing to do, His Majesty is still watching!"

Seeing this, Yan Shifan had no choice but to respond.

"Yes, father, the child knows."
