Secret 440

Yang Ling threw out the bait, and Archbishop La Mario and Marquis Bamond began a fierce debate about which two items to choose as agents. Sander and others kept interrupting, and the fastest speaking intercourse was not too late to translate.

Yang Ling smiled and stopped the translation. He didn't need to listen to them arguing about which two types of goods were faster and more convenient to transport and profitable. No matter how they chose, Yang Ling achieved his goal.

The Ming Dynasty is now in need of rapid development, but years of war has caused extreme internal emptiness. There is still an uncertain factor on the northern grasslands, which may turn into a war at any time. The Ming Dynasty did not have enough financial resources to build a long-distance transportation and commercial fleet and sufficient military escort fleet.

Only by sharing profits can we maximize the development of various productions in the Ming Dynasty and drive the rapid economic growth.

At the same time, each Western country enjoys one or two product agency rights. As their market operations expand, they will occupy an important position in their country's internal economy. Then the degree of dependence on the Ming Dynasty will be expanded. If the Ming Dynasty sits in the east, it can control the far Western world remotely based on economic leverage like a commanding marionette.

Moreover, from the experience of later generations, it can be foreseen that when a large amount of Ming Dynasty products dumped, leading to the shrinking of the industry in that country and a large amount of silver flowing to the east, it will surely arouse the alertness of the country's economists, leading to state intervention, implementing anti-dumping measures to protect state-owned industries, and rejecting the entry of Ming Dynasty goods. Although products can still be imported through the smuggling of merchants in that country, sales will of course be greatly affected.

But if the ruling class of that country is the direct beneficiary of this transaction from now on, then how much influence can a few long-term and selfless patriotic people have? It is impossible for them to influence political situations and economic policies.

Yang Ling's economic theory and political views are not necessarily better than those of the current Eastern and Western local politicians and scholars, but he has more knowledge of five hundred years. These things that have been experienced in later generations and have only been briefly understood are indeed quite forward-looking for the people who have not yet formed an industrialized country.

This kind of warm plunder is more in line with the long-term interests. The purely forceful robbery can only create some nouveau riche who do not want to develop, and they will still have nothing after a hundred years. How can they create a fishing rod if they rob ten fish?

The Archbishop and the Marquis finally reached an agreement and decided to choose the two commodities of silk and tea.

Yang Ling waited for them to make a decision, and raised his glass with a smile and said, "Very good, then the agency rights of these two products belong to you. Next, you can decide where to build shopping malls, warehouses, and transportation terminals. All missionaries can also invest in building churches and schools nearby.

Oh! You can also establish Western hospitals, and even recruit students from the Ming Dynasty and treat patients from the Ming Dynasty under voluntary circumstances. You see, our Ming Dynasty is very generous."

It's really too generous! These Westerners who have been restricted and boycotted by various restrictions and boycotts in India, Luzon, Japan and other countries, really did not expect to receive such preferential treatment in the Ming Dynasty. Archbishop La Mario and Marquis Bamond were overjoyed. The two hurriedly thanked and raised their glasses to pay tribute.

Yang Ling said again: "As for the detailed negotiation terms, since these basic things have been resolved, it will be easy. You can propose to form a letter in the future, and then our two countries will officially sign it."

He smiled and said, "His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will set off for a trip back to Beijing in the near future. He will first visit Suhang and other places, known as the paradise on earth. If you are interested, you can take our official boat to go with you. If your land is prepared quickly enough, then before His Majesty the Emperor returns to Beijing, you can get a document signed by His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to reply to the king of your country."

The Archbishop, Marquis Bamond and others hurriedly thanked that the place they originally wanted to choose was a wealthy place such as Suzhou and Hangzhou, with convenient transportation, and could go with the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. It would naturally be more convenient.

The matter was settled, and both sides achieved their goals. After the banquet was over, Archbishop La Mario and his group rushed back to the Siwu Pavilion to discuss specific matters and draw their beautiful blueprint. Yang Ling also rushed into the palace to meet the emperor excitedly, hoping to report the results of today's negotiations.

The palaces in Nanjing have always been idle. Although maintenance costs are allocated every year, the huge palace funds are limited. In addition, the eunuch of the garrison knew that it was impossible for the emperor to leave the Forbidden City in Beijing to inspect here. Therefore, maintenance has never been too lazy and many places are dilapidated and cannot be lived in.

At this time, although the emperor, the imperial concubine, the princess and others were waiting to live in the palace, they could not live in the style of Beijing. They lived in a complex of buildings that had been hastily repaired after hearing that the emperor was busy with the southern tour. Although it was a little crowded, the management and service were also relatively chaotic. Fortunately, they were only temporarily living, and Zhengde was casual and casual, so they were calm.

Yang Ling entered the palace and asked the eunuch in the palace that the emperor was currently in the imperial study room, so he hurriedly walked away. When he walked under the palace wall corridor, Princess Xiang'er walked out of a moon gate opposite him through the surrounding fish pond.

Xiang'er saw Yang Ling moving forward in the opposite corridor, and quickly accelerated her pace. She hurriedly walked forward for two steps, suddenly woke up and followed her close maid behind her. She smiled and coughed, "I mainly walk around everywhere, there is no need to wait."

The maid responded quickly and quietly retreated. When Zhu Xianger saw her flashing into the moon gate, she immediately raised her skirt and pulled her feet to chase Yang Ling.

"Hey! Wait, look at your long legs." Zhu Xianger couldn't help but shout when she saw Yang Ling holding her head up and her chest raised her chest and still heading towards the Imperial Study Room.

Yang Ling turned his head and saw that it was her. He stopped quickly. When she ran to the front and stopped panting, he said, "Little Princess, if she still does this when she returns to Beijing, the Queen Mother will definitely scold you when she meets you. I am about to meet the emperor, what are you doing?"

Xiang'er was very happy to see Yang Ling, but unexpectedly, Yang Ling would now lower her face as soon as she saw her, as if she had owed him a few dollars, and she would teach her a lesson at every turn. Xiang'er couldn't help but pouted and stomped on his boots with hatred.

Yang Ling uttered a roar, and Xiang'er said angrily: "You can't look for you if you're fine? He hasn't married into your house yet, but he knows he bullied me all day long."

Yang Ling said with a bitter face: "Isn't this a villain complaining first? I just said you and took action. Have I touched your finger?"

Xiang'er glared at her eyes and said, "Who's going to do it, I'll kick you."

Yang Ling laughed and said, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, not moves. We just make a relationship with each other. Haha, okay, your husband really has something to do, I'll rush to see the emperor. You go back to the palace to play with Yongchun and the others first."

When Xiang'er heard the four words "your husband", she couldn't help but feel sweet, and a sweet smile appeared on her face, but she said unforgivable: "I also treat others as children. What does it mean to find Yongchun to play? Is it good to be a big girl?"

"Okay, okay, okay," Yang Ling said helplessly: "I wonder what instructions did Miss Xiang'er give?"

Xiang'er looked around and said mysteriously: "Didn't you say you want to play a show with Sister Yongfu? How about now?"

"Now?" Yang Ling was startled and said hurriedly: "I plan to go to Suhang to find another opportunity. Now it's in the palace. Is it convenient?"

Zhu Xianger said: "What if I don't have a chance when I arrive in Suhang? There are so many dreams. Today's day is really suitable. Yongchun sneaked out with the emperor's sister-in-law again. Sister Yongfu seems to be uncomfortable these two days, so she didn't follow her. She is in the palace now. She is alone, isn't it convenient for you to do it?"

Yang Ling hesitated and asked, "There are always people serving the land around her, right?"

Zhu Xianger curled her lips and said, "Where is she not there? I'll just drive them out. They are all servants around the princess, and some people who are full and run to the emperor to report the news?"

Yang Ling thought for a while and stomped his feet and said, "Okay, then let's prepare immediately. Oh, can you cry then?"

Zhu Xianger smiled and said, "You bad guy who is not worth your life, I want to laugh when I think of it. Where can I cry?"

Yang Ling cried out, "Can't cry? How can you be like? Yongfu is meticulous, won't he see the flaws?"

Zhu Xianger smiled and said, "No, no. Can't I get angry if I can't cry? As long as I'm full of anger, I'll be confused. As the saying goes, care will make me confused. I think Sister Yongfu has been unhappy these days, most of the time it's because she doesn't have the chance to talk to you. At that time, she will only be nervous about you, and will she still have the heart to observe my words and expressions?"

Yang Ling looked her up and down and exclaimed: "Good person, I've been deceived by your pure appearance. I didn't expect you to be even more cruel than me!"

"Ouch!" Zhu Xianger kicked her again on the surface of the boot. She raised her eyebrows and waved, "Let's go, come with me, let's start right away."

Princess Yongfu sat lazily on the Jindun with her cheeks in her hands. She was the only one in the empty hall. Ding Qing looked carefully and found the four maids standing quietly in the corners of the walls.

This time she went south with hope, and finally got the promise of her sweetheart as she wished. The little girl was so happy that she wanted to be with her beloved husband at all times.

But her temperament prevented her from being as bold and bold as Yongchun and Xiang'er, and she was so obsessed with her many feelings that she didn't dare to show. She couldn't even see Yang Ling for many days, which made her so depressed that she couldn't be interested in anything she did.

She thought about her thoughts silently and sighed quietly. Just as she wanted to get up to play chess and try to relieve her boredom, she heard someone outside calling: "Princess! Your Highness Yongfu!"

Yongfu stood up with a look of surprise. This was Yang Ling's voice. Why did he come?

Yongfu felt a little excited, and he didn't care about it and rushed to the door. As soon as he opened the door, Yang Ling came in and said anxiously: "Your Highness, your Highness, save me quickly."

Yongfu looked in surprise and saw Xiang'er gritting his silver teeth, holding a skirt in one hand and a sword in the other. He opened his teeth and claws to kill the general. Yongfu was shocked and quickly opened his arms like a hen protecting his chicks and blocked Yang Ling in front of him, saying in panic: "Sister Xianger, what's wrong? Why are you facing the Duke's sword?"

"You... ask him!" Xiang'er was panting, as if she was so angry that she could no longer speak. She stumbled on the ground with a sword and took the opportunity to take a breath. The sword was sore when she carried the tired wrist.

Princess Yongfu looked at Yang Ling with inquiring eyes, and Yang Ling said whispered: "This... I am wronged, but I really didn't expect that Your Highness was...so..."

Princess Yongfu saw that he was speechless and seemed to have a hidden secret, so she waved her hand quietly and said, "You all retreat, don't go out and talk nonsense!"

"Yes!" The four maids hurriedly retreated."

Yongfu hurriedly covered the door and said, "Xiang'er, you're crazy. Take a sword and chase the Duke of the current dynasty, give me the sword!"

"No! Sister force me again, I... I will commit suicide on the spot!" Zhu Xianger put the sword across her neck. Her wrist was insufficient and the sword was shaking. Yongfu was frightened. She quickly took a step back and shook her hand and said, "Okay, okay, I won't go. Put down the sword quickly, what happened, let you move the sword."

"I... I can't say it. You ask him yourself what he did to me. My daughter's family has such shameful things. If I don't kill him, I won't have the shame anymore!" Zhu Xianger said in a true way.

Yongfu's face changed a little. She turned around and looked at Yang Ling, and said in a trembling voice: "What did you...have you done to Sister Xiang'er?"

Yang Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, what do you dare to do? I am really wronged."

He changed the last time he accidentally entered the Xianger cabin and saw her taking a bath to today, and told Princess Yongfu.

In fact, if it were said that day, Yongfu would probably feel even more guilty, because judging from the situation described by Xiang'er, it was clearly Yongfu and Yongchun who designed him to set him up. But he accidentally entered Xiang'er's room by mistake.

But this incident has been a long time ago, and Xiang'er was talking and laughing at Yang Ling along the way. At this time, she was "sad and angry" again, even the little girl Yongchun would know that something was strange after hearing this.

Yongfu heard Yang Ling say that Xiang'er asked him to summon him and asked him to see the emperor and go there later to discuss with him about buying gifts for his father. Yang Ling rushed over first. It happened that Xiang'er was taking a shower. The maid who was serving in front of the room walked away temporarily, but he accidentally entered the room and said it about her naked body, and a strange look suddenly appeared on her face.

Yang Ling looked at her expression and knew that she remembered the strategy she had wanted to use. She wanted to laugh a little in her heart. He glanced at Xiang'er. Xiang'er's face turned red when she remembered that day's shameful situation. She didn't need to pretend, but she really looked angry.

Yongfu looked at Xiang'er who was angry with the sword. Her hair was still wet, her face was red and her face was light and clean. It seemed that she had just taken a shower. Yongfu couldn't believe it or not. She looked back at Yang Ling and said softly: "You retreat to the palace and avoid it for a while, I'll tell her."

"So, thank you princess," Yang Ling looked at her deeply, feeling a little ashamed.

"Oh!" Yongfu looked at Yang Ling with a frown and hid at the back of the hall, then walked over and grabbed Xiang'er's hand, pulled her to the table and sat down, and said softly: "Xiang'er, what happened today is a temporary misunderstanding. Yang Ling's rank is the Duke of the current dynasty. Although he is a foreign minister, his status is not inferior to that of the royal princesses. Besides, he is the most important minister around the emperor's brother. If you kill him, who can bear it?"

"My daughter's house is starving to death, but she is losing her integrity. This is a matter of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, and I know it myself. Do my sister want me to pretend to be deaf and dumb?"

"This..." Yongfu was speechless. If she had encountered such a thing, she would never give up. In her concept, she naturally believed that a woman's reputation was more important than everything. Regardless of whether Yang Ling was unintentional or not, the matter had already happened, how could she explain herself?

Xiang'er said quietly: "Sister, I know that my sister likes her, and the emperor also intends to make an exception to call him as his son-in-law. If he can tolerate it, his sister will endure it even if he is a little compromised. That day, in the palace, in order to send a message to his wife, I accidentally fell on him. This matter has been rumored by all the civil and military officials in the court. It has become a joke inside and outside the palace. My sister held it down with shame and tolerate dirt. This time, he saw the others' body completely over. What should you do if you want me, what should I do?"

She said "Wow" and threw herself into Yongfu's arms, burst into tears.

Yang Ling stood behind the Zhuzi and heard her crying miserably. She poked her head out for a while and looked at her, but saw Zhu Xianger lying on Yongfu's shoulder, her eyes rolling around, and her mouth was crying miserably, but she was just thunder and rain. When she saw Yang Ling, she glared fiercely. Yang Ling hurriedly made a gesture to tell her to be careful. She hid back to Zhu.

"What to do, what to do?" On one hand, he was the life of his beloved husband and the reputation of his poor sister. Zhu Xiuning, the eldest princess, hugged Xiang'er, who was crying, and was in a state of discomfort. He was confused for a moment and didn't know what to do.

"Oh! Waiting for the emperor to summon him, why are you running around again?" Zhang Tianshi hurriedly scolded him when he saw his sister coming back.

"When you see you, I want to meet Yongfu, Princess Yongchun." Zhang Fubao gave his brother a blank look.

Master Zhang Tian smiled helplessly and said, "Then you go, you have no place to go, I really don't dare to take you to see the emperor."

Zhang Fubao pulled the brother's sleeve and said, "I'm going, I'm back halfway. Brother, I saw Yang Ling and His Highness the Princess together, and their relationship... seems very special."

Master Zhang became nervous and looked at the two little eunuchs standing at the door of the imperial study room. He hurriedly grabbed his sister's wrist and pulled her to a clump of flowers, plants and trees. The plants were a little decayed, but they were still dark green. Since no one had sorted them out all year round, they were densely covered with vines.

"Sister, don't talk nonsense. The less you know, the better," Master Zhang said with a serious expression: "Don't cause trouble for our family, tell you the truth..."

At this time, a person was walking lazily behind the densely covered flowers and plants, and he was thinking about his worries. Master Zhang Tian looked around and saw a few lazy eunuchs and palace maids in the distance, and no one passed by nearby places. But he didn't know that there was someone standing behind the flowers and trees that were close to each other.

He said cautiously: "Silly girl. Can you just see it? Tell you, when I first met Duke Wei, my brother found Princess Yongfu's embroidered handkerchief in him, and the elder brother was so shocked that he didn't dare to speak out.

This time, Princess Yongfu arrived at Longhu Mountain. She took a closer look at her face for her brother and deduced it for her in a quiet room. She didn't expect that she and Duke Wei really had a husband and wife. However, in theory, how could the Princess of the Ming Dynasty marry a person who already had a lot of wives and concubines? This matter was unsolvable for me. I wanted to create all the best things. The wonders were beyond human power. We just watched the changes and we must not argue randomly."

Zhang Fubao was stunned and said, "What? Princess Yongfu and Yang Ling are married? I... I just saw Yang Ling and Princess Xiang'er entering the garden side by side, with a rather ambiguous expression. Why did he become Princess Yongfu again?"

"No way? You are young and know what ambiguous means. You must have read it wrong." Zhang Tianshi became nervous again: "This is impossible, absolutely impossible, this... how is this possible?"

Zhang Fubao rolled his eyes and said, "The emperor has only ascended the throne for three years, and he has done too many impossible things. I don't think it's surprising that it's ridiculous..."

Zhang Tianshi covered her mouth and said nervously: "Don't talk nonsense. The royal land affairs are not allowed. Duke Wei Yang Ling is also a life-long fate. Disaster comes from the mouth! Have you forgotten the fate of your uncle being sent to a foreign land and it is difficult for him to return to his hometown yet?"

He thought about it and said in his heart: "Don't talk nonsense. When I see Princess Xiang, I will give her a look."

"What are you looking at?" Zhang Fubao felt a little angry for some reason. She shook her brother's hand: "Look at your cowardly look, I'm just talking to you. Will I go out to show off? I'm going to be a Tianshi!"

When she raised her face, the bright sunshine was sprinkling on her face. Zhang Tianshi saw her eyebrows clearly. After Zhang Fubao said that, he left angrily.

Zhang Tianshi stood there in a daze, thinking strangely: "The girl has a spring breeze on her face, her cheeks are like peach blossoms, her seal hall is shiny, and her eyebrows are happy. It is clearly the movement of the Red Luan Star. Strange, is it that her true life is not far away? Did I... read it wrong? No, I have to chase after her and see it clearly!"
Chapter completed!
