Chapter 610 Self-recommended Pillow Seat!

With his hands behind his back, Master Shen quietly looked at the crying woman in front of him.

Not a word.

After Ye Chan wiped her tears with her sleeve, her eyes turned red: "My lord, Japanese pirates have been raging along the coast for more than 20 years, more than 20 years..."

Although she didn't say it clearly, the subtext was already very obvious.

That is the incompetence of the court!
During the reign of Emperor Xianzong, Nan Chen was almost in a state of rejuvenation. At that time, not only did he win several victories against the Northern Qi Dynasty, but under Emperor Xianzong's hard work, the country's strength has developed by leaps and bounds. Although there were occasional bandits along the southeast coast, they were not Now such a serious Japanese pirate problem.

Until the first emperor dynasty.

It may be a bit harsh to say that the first emperor had great ambitions and talents, but the fact is true. After the first emperor ascended the throne, he had no other thoughts in his heart. He only wanted to conquer the north, restore the old capital, and rebuild mountains and rivers.

The result was two defeats in a row, completely exhausting the national strength accumulated by the Xianzong Dynasty for decades.

This kind of prodigal behavior directly led to the subsequent court's inability to take care of the southeast coast. Until the eighth year of Hongde, the problem of Japanese pirates along the coast had been very serious.

As this Miss Ye said, Japanese pirates have been raging for more than 20 years.

Master Shen took a quiet look at the woman, and then slowly said: "Miss Ye means that the court is sorry for your Fuzhou gentry, so it is reasonable for the Fuzhou gentry to communicate with the Japanese?"

"grown ups…"

Ye Chan lowered her head again, with a trembling voice: "Our Ye family doesn't know the Japanese..."

"It's just that the family had to eat in those years, and my father wanted to transport the tea leaves that the family ran out, so he had no choice but to find a way in Fuzhou City, and wrote a letter to the Japanese pirates, asking them to be lenient and not to rob my family. merchant ships..."

"Mr. Shen..."

Ye Chan lowered her head and said with tears: "If our Ye family really associates with the Japanese pirates, or feeds the Japanese pirates, then the court will kill them, and the little girl will not have a word, but the Ye family has no connections with the Japanese..."

"Besides, even if I greeted the Japanese pirates, it was three years ago. Since my father fell ill, the Ye family has never had any contact with the Japanese pirates..."

She gritted her teeth, knelt down in front of Shen Yi, and said with tears: "There are 2000 people in the Ye family who want to eat, please have mercy on Mr. Shen, and spare the Ye family this time..."

She choked with sobs and kowtowed: "If Mr. Shen can hold his hand high, the Ye family and the Fuzhou gentry will be rewarded generously..."

Shen Yi squinted his eyes, and asked lightly: "What reward?"

The reason why Master Shen asked this question was because he really wanted to know what kind of price he was worth among the Fuzhou gentry.

Ye Chan knelt in front of Shen Yi, lowered her head, but her eyes lit up.

Because in her eyes, Shen Yi has "let go".

She looked up at the expressionless Shen Yi, then bowed her head respectfully: "Mr. Shen, I have already discussed with the other three families and other noble families in the past few days. Each of our families can sell [-]% of the dry shares. Dedicated to you, Mr. Shen."

"Starting from this year, every winter in the future, there will be dividends sent to Jiankang..."

"As for other Fuzhou gentry, there will also be gifts for Mr. Shen, just ask Mr. Shen to take pity on our Fuzhou gentry..."

Speaking of this, she raised her head again, looked at Shen Yi's face, her face turned red: "Besides... I haven't left the cabinet yet, if Mr. Shen doesn't dislike me, I am willing to serve you..."

Master Shen's expression froze, then he shook his head slightly: "I'm already married."

"I don't want to go to Jiankang..."

Ye Chan lowered her head, her expression extremely respectful: "My father is seriously ill, and my youngest brother is not yet ten years old this year. As a concubine, I want to stay in Fuzhou to take care of the family business and maintain the family fortune. If Mr. Shen, you don't mind..."

She raised her head slightly and looked directly at Shen Yi: "I am willing to be a foreign house for you. From today on, the Ye family in Fuzhou will be at your disposal, Mr. Shen..."

Shen Yi touched his chin, and looked at the woman in front of him with great interest.

To be honest, this eldest girl of the Ye family is indeed very beautiful.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have the confidence to use herself as a condition.

Of course, Miss Ye didn't want to give herself to Shen Yi for free. If she became Shen Yi's concubine, then most of the dry shares of the Ye family would not be given to Shen Yi anymore.

Of course, if this is the case, even if the Ye family bet their treasure on Shen Yi, as long as Shen Yi asks them for money, they will probably give it to them.

Master Shen stroked his chin, smiled and said: "According to Miss Ye's words just now, as long as the Ye family gives me [-]% of the shares, why bother to put yourself on?"

Shen Yi's face was calm: "I can't fall in love with Shen at first sight?"

To be honest, Shen Yi's appearance is not bad.

Otherwise, when he was studying in Jiangdu, he would not be able to hook up with Master Lu's precious daughter.

But when he was in Jiangdu, he was fair-skinned, a fair-faced scholar, very handsome, but now he has been an official outside for two years, running around, his skin has darkened a lot, and he is no longer as handsome as before.

But no matter what his appearance is, Shen Yi will not be confident enough to let this Miss Ye recommend herself to him.

Ye Chan still knelt on the ground, lowered her head and said, "Because I think Mr. Shen is very pleasing to the eye, and..."

"It took Shen Xianggong just over a month to clean up the Japanese pirates along the coast of Fujian."

"For the people of Fujian, he is a great hero."

She lowered her head slightly and said, "There is also..."

"Shen Xianggong, you are a 20-year-old fifth-rank imperial official..."

What I said earlier is all bullshit.

The last sentence is the real reason.

Because Master Shen is the ultimate potential stock!

It has been more than 100 years since Da Chen founded the country. Even if the period of the Northern Dynasty is counted, the imperial court did not have a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy who was as young as Shen Yi!

At Shen Yi's current age, current status, and current holy family!
As long as there are no accidents, he will almost pay homage to the prime minister in the future!

And a Xiangye, a real Xianggong, no matter where he is, he is a great figure in heaven!
This kind of person is a local gentry like the Ye family, and they will never be able to curry favor with them.

However, you can't flatter your husband, but you can try to curry favor with a "prime minister".

Ye Chan plucked up her courage, lowered her head and said, "Mr. Shen, when the younger brother in the family becomes an adult, I will be nearly thirty years old, and I will be old..."

"I am not going to marry again in my life..."

She bowed her head deeply and said, "I would like to serve my husband as a concubine for the rest of my life..."

"Besides, I'm in Fuzhou, so I can do a lot of things for my husband..."

To be honest, Miss Ye's proposal is still very tempting.

Leaving aside the factor of female sex, leaving the pawn of the Ye family in the south may have a chance to use it when Master Shen wants to do things in the future.

However, Shen Yi's mind immediately flashed the tragic situation of Taozhu Town, Taizhou Prefecture, after being looted by Japanese pirates.

A feeling of disgust welled up in my heart involuntarily.

So, Shen Yi turned his back.

After taking a deep breath, he said slowly, "I have to say, Miss Ye's words are very tempting."

"But to make a mistake is to make a mistake."

Master Shen was expressionless: "Last year, Prince Jin had already visited Fuzhou and killed someone once."

"Those people, can't they die in vain?"

Hearing Shen Yi mention Jin Shizi, Ye Chan's whole body was shocked, and her whole body limp on the ground.

Last year, Jin Shizi came to Fuzhou to investigate the Japanese case...

In Fuzhou Prefecture, a total of seven families were confiscated.

Every family is ruined!

It is precisely because of the cruel scene of Jin Shizi Li Mu's family raid last year that these Fuzhou gentry were so frightened when they knew that Shen Yi was going to Fuzhou to investigate the Japanese case again.

He even did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to give gifts to Shen Yi, and wanted to use money to kill imperial envoy Shen.

Even Ye Chan, the eldest girl of the Ye family, did not hesitate to commit herself to be Shen Yi's junior!

It's all because of the fear left by Li Mu...to the nobles in Fuzhou last year.

Ye Chan sat paralyzed on the ground, her eyes were red: "Mr. Shen..."

Her tone was full of pleading.

Shen Yi ignored her, but turned around silently and walked into his house.

After entering the house, he called Ling Su with a low voice.

"The manpower on duty is doubled tonight, so be careful."

Ling Su was startled, and asked, "Mr. Shen, what are you careful about?"

Master Shen was expressionless.

"Be careful if someone jumps over the wall in a hurry."

　Calvin... even slower, sorry sorry!
