Chapter 269: Tian Hongyu of the Foreign Relatives (II)

"When you go back to Your Majesty, I am willing to share your worries, and I will ask Your Majesty for advice." Tian Hong nodded when he met his daughter. He knew it was okay, so he took the courage to ask the emperor for a job.

"There are errands, but I'd better talk about my rules first." Yang Jing was not afraid of being a relative of the foreigner. He had never had any disaster with relatives in the Ming Dynasty. Yang Jing was going to give his father-in-law a shot of vaccinations. He said that he was the first to break his own affairs and his rules in the future. He would do whatever he should do.

"I listen to Your Majesty's lesson." Tian Hongyu said seriously.

"If you do things for me, you must comply with my rules. If you have corruption, waste money, or ruin my affairs, or break the national laws, or use the reputation of doing errands for me to ruin my reputation, I will never give up on this. My father-in-law must remember this..." Yang Jieying first criticized his father-in-law.

"I understand, I understand, I will definitely not break Your Majesty's rules." Tian Hongyu quickly agreed. These requests were not excessive. They were also the court's request to the relatives of the outside world. If the emperor didn't say it, those court officials would also stare at him.

"Yunmeng, please avoid it for now. I have to talk to my father-in-law alone for some things." Yang Jing did not want too many people to know about some things.

Tian Yunmeng looked at the emperor, then looked at his father, and left without saying anything.

The palace maids and eunuchs also left, and Yang Jingying said: "Father-in-law, let me first explain that I will pay my capital, and you will make most of the profits. You also know that my treasury needs to support our dynasty's expenses, which are often tight, so if you do business, you don't have much share. I hope you can understand." Yang Jingying explained it first.

"When you go back to Your Majesty, I understand, I don't dare to ask for it too much. As long as you can be similar to Liulizhai, I will do it. I am determined to make money for Your Majesty and share your worries. As for the amount of money, I don't see it. As long as I don't starve to death, I will do it." Tian Hongyu, the father of Concubine Tian, ​​was much cunning than Empress Zhou, and he was much smarter in his words.

"Haha, it won't be that my father-in-law is starving to death. If I do business, my business will be linked to the national fortune. If I do well, I am still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. You are also my father-in-law. Haha, if doing business leads to bad luck in the country, haha, then I will be the king of the country, your family..." Yang Jing took out the trick of scaring Zhou Kui and scaring Tian Hongyu.

However, Tian Hongyu was much smarter than Zhou Kui. His face changed slightly, and he said, "...Your Majesty was joking, Your Majesty was joking. My Ming Dynasty was at its peak under the rule of Your Majesty. How could I say such an unlucky thing as a destruction of the country? Haha..." Tian Hongyu obviously did not believe the emperor's words. The Ming Dynasty would perish? It didn't look like it no matter how you look at it! The court that could still give out 10 million taels of silver to provide disaster relief will perish? That's really unreasonable.

Yang Jing was speechless and forgot that when he scared Zhou Kui, he was different from now on. When he had just ascended the throne, the situation was very unfavorable. There were wars and losses everywhere. Unlike now, he had done many things, which made the country look vibrant.

Yang Jing thought about it and said, "Okay, I don't say much nonsense. I only gave it to Liulizhai for 10%, and I also gave it to my father-in-law for 10%..."

Before Yang Jing finished speaking, Tian Hongyu said impatiently: "I am willing, I am willing..." The emperor really put himself and Liulizhai on the same level. When he thought of Liulizhai's business of making money every day, Yizheng was better than he had been in his own business for several years, Tian Hongyu couldn't help but agree to the emperor. It seems that the business the emperor gave him was at the same level as Liulizhai, otherwise how could he compare Liulizhai? Tian Hongyu was very happy. His errands were much better than the ones of the Empress's father Zhou Kui, so the Empress's father could only buy land.

Yang Jing was a little surprised. Why did these relatives become so generous and selfless? They are all living Lei Fengs? They are specializing in doing good deeds in good people?

"Father-in-law, do you know what I want you to do?" Yang Jing asked curiously.

"Your Majesty just tells you, you are willing to be any minister..." Tian Hong met the emperor to be so kind to him, and he was really willing to do anything. He started a daily business of making money. Who wouldn't be jealous of him when he saw it?

Yang Jingai said with a smile: "Father-in-law, this business will be traveling around all year round, which is not as comfortable as in the capital. You can think clearly."

Tian Hongyu was hesitant at first, but when he thought, the queen's father dared to go to Leizhou, he wouldn't be even farther than him, right? This is not for one person. To put it bluntly, for his daughter, his daughter is the imperial concubine, second only to the queen. In order to compete for favor and have a status in the palace, he had to fight for it. The emperor valued exactly whether he could help him make money. Tian Hongyu was willing to go, saying, "Your Majesty, even if it is the end of the world, I am willing to go."

Yang Jing was surprised. Are these foreign relatives all nervous? They are all good cadres like Jiao Yulu! They just said that I am a brick, where do I need to move there?

"Okay..., since my father-in-law is so sure, then I will continue to talk about the following..." Yang Jingai thought for a while and said, "My father-in-law used to do business in Shaanxi?"

"Your Majesty, indeed, I am in Shaanxi. I did business in my early years, and I had quite experienced and gained a lot of money..." When it comes to business, Tian Hongyu was not embarrassed. When his daughter entered the palace, these information were clearly recorded and found. It is not embarrassing. If he was not a poor family, his daughter could not enter the palace, the concubines of the Ming Dynasty always only had poor families, such as pig-killing father-in-laws, farming, and fortune-telling father-in-laws who caught a lot of fortune-telling father-in-laws. Speaking of his business achievements, he was even more confident. If he had no money, he could go to Yangzhou to redeem a flower like jade, who was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to serve his daughter as a stepmother? What talents did he teach his daughter?

"Oh, do business in Shaanxi? Haha, do you know a lot about Shaanxi?" Yang Jing planned to ask about the situation first. Shanxi merchants controlled the transaction with Mongolia. If they did not pass Shanxi merchants, it would be difficult to make a deal with Mongolia. This was also a headache for Yang Jing. Although he had a plan to cut Shanxi merchants in the future, time could not be delayed. He had to hurry up and wait for Shanxi merchants to clean up before filling the gap left by Shanxi merchants. Besides, when Shanxi merchants cut, someone would immediately fill the business gap left by them. To fill the business gap left by Shanxi merchants, he had to have a business network he operated in advance. This network must be arranged in advance and must have a certain scale. Now, Liulizhai is really out of reach for such intermittent things, and he can only try it out if he changes someone.

"When you go back to your Majesty, if you talk about the business in Shaanxi, although I have not been in business for many years, my relationships are still there and my own ways. If Your Majesty asked me to go to Shaanxi to do business, there would be no problem at all. I have known all kinds of relationships and joints for a long time..." Tian Hongyu was not bragging. He was originally very successful in business, so he had money to go to Yangzhou to cultivate his daughter. The route he took was to become a relative of the foreigners. At that time, Lu Buwei invested in a prince, and Tian Hongyu invested in his daughter. Since his daughter became a princess, his old relationships have been contacted by him again. Now, his daughter has become a concubine. Those who used to do business with him are proud of knowing him. If you want to talk about relationships, ways, and connections, there is no shortage of relationships, ways, and connections, let alone the title of an imperial merchant, which will only make him feel like a fish in water.

"...Would you be sure if you were asked to do business with the Mongolians?" Yang Jingwei asked again.

"Mongols?..." Tian Hongyu thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the Mongols of that tribe. I am in Shaanxi and have dealt with the Mongols outside Shaanxi Pass. I am still familiar with it. However, there are many Mongolian tribes and a very wide area. Shaanxi mainly deals with the tribes of Wordus [that is, Ordos], and Shanxi mainly deals with the tribes of Tumote. If it is the Mongolian tribe outside Shuntian Prefecture and Yongping Prefecture, it is the tribes of Halashen. I don't know which tribe your Majesty refers to?" Tian Hongyu was a successful businessman and knew very well about this information.

Yang Jie was a little surprised that Tian Hongyu knew better than him. He was a little clearer in his understanding of the outside world than he did. He only understood the division of the power of the Outer World Mongolians after listening to his intelligence chief’s explanation a few days ago. He did not expect that his father-in-law would be so clear that he looked at Tian Hongyu a few more times. He was confident in this Tian Hongyu.

"I want to ask you, do you know any of your trade with the Mongolians?" Yang Jie continued.

"Go back to your Majesty, what's the business with the Mongols? The main thing is horses. The imperial court allowed the Mongolians to do business with our court for horses. Therefore, the market here is also called the horse market. In addition to horses, there are also furs, camels, etc. If it were the Liaodong horse market, it could also be exchanged for ginseng, pearls, marten, etc. However, now our court has a mortal enemies with the Jurchens, so it is probably difficult to open the horse market..." Tian Yuhong said.

"Then what will I sell those things to the Mongolians again?" Yang Jingwei asked.

"When I go back to your Majesty, the main things sold to the Mongolians in our court include tea, silk, cloth, grain, and iron pots. They are all urgently needed by the Mongolians. Without the iron pots from our court, they will not be able to drink clean water and eat..." When they talked about this, Tian Hongyu became excited again, because the money from the Mongolians was really easy to make, and the things transported to the Ma Market were immediately sold out.

"Do you have no wool? Do you know where wool is more famous?" Yang Jing asked the core question.

"...Wool?..." Tian Hongyu thought for a long time, but he didn't remember that there was still a wool deal in the Ma market. He shook his head and said, "When you talk about the business of a large scale, I have never heard of buying and selling wool. The wool outside the pass is basically useless. Apart from making felt tents or blankets, I have basically never heard of wool useful... No, no,... No, I remembered that there is a place where wool is so good. The things that weave is really rare in the world, but the income is not easy, the cost is high, and the production is not much... "
