Zhao Ji looked unhappy and scolded: "Gao Qing's family, I have repeatedly issued decrees to cooperate with the Long Live Camp in building Shoushan. Why do you want to stop it?"
Gao Qiu's face turned pale with fright. All his wealth and splendor came from the emperor's favor. If he lost the emperor's favor, he would be lost among the others. One can imagine where the Qingliu in the court would place him.
"I accidentally lost sight of it and didn't expect this place to be so important. So I went back to guard the garrison and make way for Gen Yue Shoushan."
Liang Shicheng said nothing. Gao Qiu glanced at him secretly and found that his face was expressionless. He secretly hated his backer for not knowing how to speak for him at the critical moment.
Zhao Ji nodded and said with a smile: "That's good. Yang Aiqing is loyal to me, and I feel very relieved. If you have any needs for the construction of Gen Yue in the future, or if there are any obstacles, you can come directly to the palace to inform me."
Yang Lin immediately spoke and said: "Your Majesty, transporting flowers and stones requires ships, carriages and horses. If you want to avoid delaying the construction period and spending money from the treasury, I request your Majesty to transfer some of the powers of the Municipal Shipping Department to the Long Live Camp."
"No!" Liang Shicheng rarely interrupted in front of the emperor.
Zhao Ji asked doubtfully: "Why not?"
Liang Shicheng calmed down. Just now Yang Lin opened his mouth to ask for the Shipping Department, causing him to be in chaos. He swallowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Shipping Department is an important part of the national treasury. It can provide your Majesty with nearly 400,000 yuan every year. The money will be used for various expenses. If the Shifu Division is handed over to the Long Live Battalion to provide money specifically for Gen Yue Shoushan, I am afraid that the Khitan's annual coins, the military pay for the front line, and the salaries of the officials will not be able to make ends meet."
Yang Lin sneered, patted his chest and said, "Eunuch Liang, there is no need to worry. If the official takes charge of the shipping company, Guan's income of 400,000 yuan will only increase."
Zhao Ji looked hesitant. Although he didn't like the state affairs, he also knew how powerful Shibosi was. He also understood in his heart that this was between two ministers, or two forces competing for this piece of fat.
Liang Shicheng is his confidant, and Yang Lin's actions are also in line with his thoughts, especially the construction of Gen Yue. It can be said that it was built with his heart in mind.
There is only one Shibo Division, and no matter who you give it to, it will make the other person feel cold. When Zhao Ji hesitated, Liang Shicheng and Gao Qiu looked nervous, while Yang Lin looked calm.
Liang Shicheng felt a faint fear in his heart. Could it be that this evil bastard had any back-up plans?
Sure enough, before Zhao Ji could make a decision, Yang Lin clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, since Eunuch Liang is unwilling to hand over the existing Shishi Shipping Company to Wei Chen, I have an idea."
When Zhao Ji heard this, he was delighted and said, "Yang Qing has a lot of ideas, please tell me quickly."
"At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Taizu established shipping companies in Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Mingzhou (today's Ningbo, Zhejiang), Quanzhou, and Mizhou (today's Jiaozhou, Qingdao). Nowadays, all places have been closed, and only Guangzhou still exists. Weichen does not want Guangzhou. , As long as His Majesty decrees that the other four places will be reopened and handed over to the Long Live Camp for control, within a year, not only will Gen Yue be free of money, but I will also add a large amount of income to His Majesty's treasury."
Liang Shicheng's expression could no longer be tense. Just when he was about to object, he heard the emperor's golden mouth: "Okay! Let's do it this way. Yang Aiqing is worthy of being my number one scholar. He has the talent of the number one scholar and the talent of a prime minister."
This sentence was a hot one. Yang Lin was not arrogant enough to dare to follow it, so he said humbly: "I am still young and need to sharpen myself, especially compared with Cai, I am still far behind."
After leaving the palace, Gao Qiu was still chattering behind him, but Liang Shicheng didn't listen to a word.
The Shibo Division is the source of income for their faction. Guarding the vast sea, their daily income is more than enough to make a fortune.
In this era, there were more than fifty countries doing business with the Song Dynasty in Guangzhou. In addition, they secretly sold some luxury goods to foreign countries, which ensured that Liang Shicheng had enough money to support the group of people below him.
During Huizong's reign, whoever had the means to obtain money for the emperor's entertainment would have supreme power.
Later, Cai Jing was able to dominate the phase for seventeen years by using the shipping department to make money. Now Yang Lin reopened the four shipping departments with just one word, which made Liang Shicheng hate him to the core.
Liang Shicheng's face turned cold and he said coldly: "You can't keep this kid!"
Gao Qiu, who was muttering, was overjoyed when he heard this and whispered: "Enxiang, how do you plan to deal with him?"——
"Reopen? Reopen the shipping companies in the four prefectures and put them all under the control of Long Live Operation?"
Cai Jing looked in disbelief, and Yang Lin was secretly proud. I had already identified Zhao Ji's character, and his lower limit was no lower limit.
"Okay, Wenyuan, now you are going to be rich."
Yang Lin smiled and said: "What are you talking about, Enxiang? The students are just doing things for the officials, but Jiangnan is a good place, and we can't give it up to those eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Cai Jing stared at him, smiling and saying nothing.
Yang Lin was so frightened by this old guy that he begged him: "Enxiang, if the student does anything wrong, Enxiang can just reprimand him directly. What do you mean by staring at the student like this?"
"You are transporting Hua Shi Gang. Most of the power you hold is in Jiangnan. How can you let this opportunity pass? I think many officials in Jiangnan will be in trouble."
Yang Lin rolled his eyes and stepped forward and said: "En Xiang has someone in his hands, but in order to be promoted in the south of the Yangtze River, he must be of the same mind as us so that he can serve the officials."
Cai Jing groaned and did not comment. Yang Lin knew that this was his acquiescence, and immediately took out a resume from his sleeve: "This is a small official named Chao Li who will serve as prisoner. He has served our emperor diligently for many years, but his talent has not been recognized."
, I have never been promoted.”
Cai Jing didn't even look at it and said, "Put it on the table."
"The student thanked him for his kindness."
Yang Lin put the paper on the table and happened to see on the table a picture of rivers, mountains, fishermen and music copied by Cai Jing a few days ago. This painting was from the Tang Dynasty, but what Cai Jing copied was a simulation of the founding period of the Song Dynasty.
"Rivers, Mountains, Fishing and Joy" is a painting by Li Sixun of the Tang Dynasty. When Yang Lin saw that Cai Jing had copied one, he sent someone to buy it with a lot of money. At this time, he said: "Oh! Enxiang's painting "Rivers, Mountains, Fishing and Joy" has a meaningful and magnificent artistic conception.
, The brushwork is vigorous and the character is strong. According to the students, it is not much better than the original."
Cai Jing laughed and scolded: "It's nonsense. How dare you compete with the ancients? It's just a free time to sharpen your pen."
Yang Lin looked serious: "This is not nonsense. In the eyes of students, this painting by Enxiang is indeed far superior to the original. Well, the student happens to have this original painting at home. If I am kind enough to be kind to you, I am willing to trade it with you.
I only asked for a signature on this painting."
Even Cai Jing couldn't help but be moved. This guy is really willing to spend money. If he doesn't agree, there must be something wrong with his brain.
Cai Jing clapped his hands gently, and several maids came in and rolled up the paintings at Cai Jing's instructions.
Yang Lin held it in his arms like a treasure, and said with a smile: "In a few days, I will have my servants deliver "Jiangshan Yule" to my house, and the student will leave first."
