Chapter 588 Communicating with Goryeo

Huang Shang shook his head and said: "As long as he thinks clearly, it doesn't matter what he does. He wants to be a clean figure in the officialdom and fight against corruption and cronyism on his own. I can naturally protect him from death. If he ends up colluding with others, the world will be ruined. He is not even a corrupt official."

Li Canghai was really choked up and speechless by Huang Shang's strange remarks, and he had no idea what Huang Shang was thinking.

Li Canghai said: "With Feng'er's character, it is absolutely impossible for him to be complicit. Moreover, Feng'er has a stubborn character and will become more courageous the more he is frustrated. If he really becomes an official, he might be able to reverse the situation of corruption and cronyism you mentioned. Woolen cloth?"

Huang Shang smiled and said: "You are quite confident in him."

Li Canghai said: "Of course, I watched him grow up, and he definitely has this ability."

Huang Shang asked: "What ability? The ability to reverse 'corruption and cronyism'?"

Li Canghai nodded.

Huang Shang was silent for a moment and said: "The general trend is irreversible and cannot be reversed without human effort."

Li Canghai was stunned. Huang Shang was so pessimistic about the imperial court. Maybe this was the reason why he refused to serve as an official. He did not have the courage to correct the chaos and disdain to be complicit.

With Huang Shang's ability being like this, Li Canghai no longer has confidence in Qiao Feng. He may know Qiao Feng, but he may not really understand politics.

If Qiao Feng really chooses to be an official, he will be choosing a very difficult path. Unless he changes, it is fortunate that Qiao Feng has no ambition for fame and wealth.

Li Canghai asked: "If Feng'er is like this now, living in the world but worrying about the temple, what will be the consequences?"

Huang Shang said: "I feel at ease and proud of the world."

In fact, regardless of the Huang family's affairs in Quanzhou, Qiao Feng couldn't stay in the Huang family for a long time.Neither studying nor doing business was what Qiao Feng wanted. After meeting two gangsters from the Beggar Gang, Qiao Feng found the direction of his life. He insisted on making a career in the world and had the lofty ideal of protecting his family and country.Even if the Liao army had not moved south this time, Qiao Feng would not have been able to stay for long.

Li Canghai somewhat understood Huang Shang's thoughts, but he didn't understand why he allowed Qiao Feng to associate with the Beggar Clan.

Li Canghai knew that Huang Shang had always doted on Qiao Feng and had never rejected Qiao Feng since he was a child.

But Li Canghai also knew that Huang Shang didn't like Jianghu, whether it was Shaolin or the Beggar Clan.Moreover, these two sects can be said to have enmity with Huang Shang. How can he safely let Qiao Feng make friends with people from the Beggar Clan?His distrust of the beggar gang was clearly revealed in his words.

Huang Shang said: "In a sense of justice, the Beggar Gang lives up to its reputation as a chivalrous person. It can protect the family and the country at the top, and it can hoe the strong and help the weak at the bottom. If Feng'er is with them, he will not become a bad example."

Li Canghai couldn't believe her ears. She could actually hear the words "protect the family and the country" and "hoe the strong and help the weak" from Huang Shang's mouth. It was really inconsistent with the Huang Shang she knew.

The entire Huangjia Village has a strong atmosphere of "excellence in learning leads to officialdom". Most people have said such things as "cultivate oneself, manage one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world." However, Huang Shang is not included. He treats the scientific examination with a coping attitude and just follows the procedures. In private, he doesn't even bother to pretend, he is a typical person who only cares about his own happiness.

Li Canghai asked: "Aren't you afraid that the Beggar Clan is not well-intentioned and is approaching Feng'er to seek revenge on you?"

Huang Shang said: "They don't dare. The Beggar Clan must know that Ling Sect died in my hands. It's Shaolin's turn to seek revenge, and it's not the Beggar Clan's turn."

Li Canghai still couldn't figure out what the beggar gang wanted.

Li Canghai would never have thought that the center of the real storm would be Qiao Feng. Although she thought it was no coincidence that the Beggar Gang appeared next to Qiao Feng, she felt that the Beggar Gang was targeting Huang Shang.Huang Shang is not worried about Qiao Feng. With Qiao Feng's ability, personality, and the aura of the protagonist, he can turn any danger into safety.

Qiao Feng didn't need a nanny, so Huang Shang stayed at home without moving even if he missed her.

Huang Jinyuan suddenly came to Huang Shang and said, "I know what the two big ships ordered by Patriarch Huang are for!"

Huang Shang was stunned and thought for a while before she figured out what Huang Jinyuan was talking about.

After Qiao Feng beat Huang Yuanxin, clan leader Huang Shen not only did not blame him, but instead came to apologize and even sent business to his door, ordering two large ships.

At that time, Huang Jinyuan also lamented that the ship was a bit too luxurious and unnecessary.

Huang Shang said nothing, waiting for Huang Jinyuan's next words.

Huang Jinyuan was used to Huang Shang's habit of only listening but not speaking, so he continued: "These two ships are not used for trade."

Huang Shang remained silent.

Huang Jinyuan just kept his words as usual and waited for others to ask questions. After speaking, he realized that the person opposite was Huang Shang, who never handed people the steps, and continued: "These two ships are prepared for the imperial court to appease Goryeo. "

Huang Shang was thoughtful. After listening to Huang Jinyuan's words, Huang Shang had a vague outline in his mind. It seemed that this was indeed the case, but he had never cared about it.

Seeing that Huang Shang was still silent, Huang Jinyuan added: "Korea has cut off tribute to the Song Dynasty for decades. The Huang family in Quanzhou has always had trade relations with Goryeo. The imperial court wants to use the Huang family's trade to reopen the relationship with Goryeo. relation."

Huang Shang nodded slightly, that should be the case, but so what?What does it have to do with yourself?
Huang Shang turned her head and looked at Huang Jinyuan, with a questioning look in her eyes. It couldn't be because she wanted to talk to him, right?
Huang Jinyuan saw Huang Shang's intention and sighed: "We built the ship, and Quanzhou Huang's maritime trade has to rely on us. We have no share in this kind of thing."

Only then did Huang Shang understand that Huang Jinyuan was jealous.

Huang Jinyuan was willing to sell Huang Shen's most advanced ship because he knew that maritime trade could not be monopolized by one family, and he paid more attention to the more profitable ocean trade. He did not value Huang Shen's monopoly and the trade between Korea. I feel that Huang Shen has no courage and has wasted his big ship.

Now I know that what Huang Shen really values ​​is not economic interests, but political interests. As a businessman, he intervenes in national affairs, which Huang Jinyuan cannot compare to.

It's not that Huang Jinyuan doesn't know the importance of political interests. For example, Huang Shang's father's lifelong ambition is to establish a foothold in officialdom. Huang Jinyuan grew up in this environment, how could he not pay attention to politics?

However, as a rising family, the Yanping Huang family was not qualified to participate in politics in Quanzhou. Even if Huang Jinyuan wanted to, it would be difficult to find an opportunity for a while.

Shipbuilding is Huang Jinyuan's foundation. Huang Shen used the ships he built to gain access to the court, which made him depressed for a while.

Now Huang Jinyuan wanted to intervene, but Huang Shen blocked the door, which made Huang Jinyuan a little unwilling.

Huang Jinyuan said: "Ninth brother, Goryeo has cut off state relations with our Song Dynasty for decades. Once the tributary relationship is restored, it will definitely be a big event. We obviously have the opportunity to intervene in such a big event. It would be a pity to miss it."
