Smuggling Daming

Xie Da's arrival not only issued an ultimatum to Zhou Zhong, allowing him to cancel the Wang family's marriage within a month, but also discussed with Zhou Zhong about the cooperation between the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and the Xie Family Chamber of Commerce, although he is still in the mourning period. Marriage, but the marriage of the two families is already imperative, so the cooperation at the chamber of commerce naturally needs to be prepared early.

However, Xie Da has already handed over most of the affairs of the Xie Family Chamber of Commerce to Xie Lingyun, so he only asked about the general intention of cooperation between the two chambers of commerce. As for the specific cooperation matters, it needs Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun, the lovers to talk.

Although Xie Da always wanted to show that he valued and appreciated Zhou Zhong, Zhou Zhong always felt that Xie Da was too deep in the city, making it hard for people to guess his true thoughts.At the same time, he finally understood where Xie Lingyun's city mansion came from. Speaking of which, the characters of the father and daughter were very similar, but Xie Lingyun seemed much more immature than her father.

Zhou Zhong and Xie Da had been discussing until midnight, and then went back to their rooms to rest. Early the next morning, when he was fast asleep, he suddenly felt his nose being pinched. For this familiar movement, he didn't need to. Asking also knew that it was Xie Lingyun, when she was on the island before, she liked to use this method to wake herself up.

Seeing that Zhou Zhong didn't open his eyes, he stretched out his hand to hug Xie Lingyun's slender waist based on his feeling, and then suddenly hugged her on the bed, which made Xie Lingyun scream in fright, and beat Zhou Zhong's chest while laughing.The two played around on the bed for a while. Although Zhou Zhong really wanted to do some bed exercises that were beneficial to the body and mind, but considering that the time and place were not right, he still held back.

Finally Zhou Zhong got up and got dressed.Then he washed up again and was about to have breakfast with Xie Lingyun, but at this moment Xie Lingyun suddenly pulled him and asked in a low voice: "Master, what did my father say to you yesterday, I wanted to come to you last night , but because it was too late, Aunt Shui refused to let me come, but I saw my father this morning, it seems that you two are talking well?"

Zhou Zhong has made an agreement with Xie Lingyun, as long as there are no outsiders.She has to call herself husband, he likes to hear it very much.In addition, Zhou Zhong also guessed that Xie Lingyun would definitely ask about yesterday when he came to him, so he smiled and said: "What else can Uncle Xie talk to me about? Of course it is about our marriage. thing."

Zhou Zhong told Xie Lingyun the exact content of the conversation with Xie Da last night. After all, there is no need to hide these things from her.However, when Xie Lingyun heard that her father asked Zhou Zhong to withdraw from the Wang family's marriage within a month, she said softly: "My husband, my father is too urgent. Anyway, we won't be able to get married in a while, so the matter on the Wang family's side Don't be too anxious, just think of a way when you have a chance in the future. As for your father, I will help you persuade him. "

Hearing that Xie Lingyun thought of herself so much.Zhou Zhong couldn't help being very moved, he grabbed her little hand and looked at Xie Lingyun affectionately for a long while, finally he reluctantly let go.

However, while having breakfast, Xie Lingyun suddenly remembered something, and she winked mischievously at Zhou Zhong and said, "Master, do you remember that I told you when we were kidnapped. Our Xie Family Chamber of Commerce and In fact, the Hong Family Chamber of Commerce has already been married, and the same person is behind it?"

Zhou Zhong heard Xie Lingyun take the initiative to mention this matter.Immediately, they were refreshed. When they were stranded on the island, Zhou Zhong did not forget about it. He also asked Xie Lingyun at the beginning, but unfortunately she kept silent. Later, the two broke through to the last level of relationship. Tianqingqing me, Zhou Zhong also left this matter behind.

"Who is it? I asked you before, but you just didn't tell me!" Zhou Zhong asked curiously.

Xie Lingyun smiled, although she knew that there were only the two of them in the whole restaurant, she still turned her head to look, and then said: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but the identity of this person is too amazing. Under the storm, I thought we were going to die, and I was very scared, so I told you about this, mainly because I want you to talk to me more."

When Xie Lingyun said this, there was a sweet expression on her face, because she knew that at the moment of life and death, she could really see a person clearly, and Zhou Zhong's performance not only made her very satisfied, but even directly conquered him. In her heart, it was from then on that she really fell in love with the man in front of her.

Compared with the sweetness in Xie Lingyun's heart, Zhou Zhong thought of the beautiful scene of the two in the cabin. Although they were already husband and wife, it was the first time he frivolously treated each other that time. It was really an unforgettable moment. memories.

Xie Lingyun didn't indulge in sweetness for too long, and she quickly said solemnly: "Master, I am the only daughter of my father and the only heir of the Chamber of Commerce, but the situation of our Xie family is not what it seems on the surface. So simple, the main reason is because of my clan uncle, he is very famous in our Daming, together with the other two ministers, he is called the Three Worthy Prime Ministers of Hongzhi, now you should know who he is, right?"

"Three virtuous prime ministers of Hongzhi?" Zhou Zhong was taken aback when he heard this address, then stood up in shock, stared at Xie Lingyun and said, "You... the person behind your chamber of commerce is actually Xie Qian! "

"Yes, the famous Xie Qian is my uncle. Although our family's chamber of commerce is owned by our father and daughter in name, we only control the operation of the chamber of commerce and a small part of the shares. Most of the shares belong to the Yuyao Xie family. In the hands of the Yuyao faction headed by the officials, the Hong family is in almost the same situation, of course we have the support of our clan uncles behind us, so it is very convenient for us to do anything in the whole of Daming, and no one dares to interfere with our business." Xie Lingyun nodded.

Zhou Zhong still hadn't recovered from the shock at this time. He really didn't expect that the person behind the Xie Family Chamber of Commerce and the Hong Family Chamber of Commerce turned out to be Xie Qian, and it wasn't just Xie Qian alone, but a group of people from different regions. The divided official interest groups, no wonder the smuggling business of these two companies is so big, it turns out that there is such a powerful force behind it.

Speaking of Xie Qian, some people may not know it well, but during the Hongzhi and Zhengde dynasties, this man was an extremely remarkable figure. At that time, there was a sentence in the Ming Dynasty Hall: "Li Gongmou, Liu Gongduan, Xie Gongyou Kankan".Li Gong in this sentence refers to Li Dongyang, Liu Gong refers to Liu Jian, and Xie Gong refers to Xie Qian.

Li Dongyang is resourceful, Liu Jian is good at making decisions, and Xie Qian is very eloquent. All three of them were cabinet scholars in the Honghan Dynasty. In fact, they are equivalent to the prime ministers of Ming Dynasty. All three are extremely capable people , and jointly assisted Zhengde's father, His Majesty Xiaozong, in governing the country, which made the Ming Dynasty rejuvenate.

What's even more remarkable is that when Xiaozong passed away, the three of Xie Qian were appointed ministers of Gu Ming, and ordered the three of them to assist Emperor Zhengde wholeheartedly. He even handed over the government affairs to the eunuchs headed by Liu Jin, which aroused the dissatisfaction of ministers like Xie Qian, and repeatedly clashed with Liu Jin and others.

In October of the first year of Zhengde, the conflict between the minister group headed by Xie Qian and Liu Jian and the eunuch group headed by Liu Jin reached its peak. Xie Qian and others directly wrote to Zhengde to kill Liu Jin and others, but the result was not They succeeded, so they wanted to threaten to resign, but they didn't expect Zhengde to agree directly, so Xie Qian, Liu Jian, and a group of Hongzhi veterans were forced to resign and return to their hometowns. Only Li Dongyang was left alone in the court. .

Although Xie Qian has resigned and returned to his hometown, he has a very high reputation among scholars. He and Liu Jian are one south and one north. It can be said that they are the two leaders of the Ming Shilin in the north and south, and their influence in the officialdom is even more intertwined , No matter who it is, it is necessary to give some face. With such a person as the backing, it is difficult for the Xie Family Chamber of Commerce to develop.

"So that's the case, no wonder you and the Hong Family Chamber of Commerce can become the second of the four major chambers of commerce in Shuangyu Port." Zhou Zhong thought of Xie Qian's identity, and Jin also thought to himself, but then he thought of another Regarding this matter, he immediately asked, "Lingyun, our Nanyang Chamber of Commerce was not weaker than you before, and our business was also very large. Do you know if there are any supporters behind our Nanyang Chamber of Commerce?"

Hearing Zhou Zhong ask this question, Xie Lingyun suddenly showed a wry smile and said: "Master, in fact, there are some things I didn't tell you before, and these things are related to your father. At first, I guessed that you should know something about your father." , but I didn’t expect you to know very little about your father, and I even told you about the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.”

"About my father?" Zhou Zhong was also very solemn at this time. After he took over the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, he felt more and more that his cheap father who had never met was very mysterious. There is such a powerful smuggling chamber of commerce outside, and I don't know where all the money he earned has gone?To make matters worse, many of Zhou Hai's confidantes in the chamber of commerce died with him. Although Sanniang had a close relationship with Zhou Hai, she didn't know much about him. She took care of it, but a lot of money was transferred directly by Zhou Hai, and she didn't know where Zhou Hai used it?

"Lingyun, what do you know about my father?" Zhou Zhong frowned and asked, although he has no relationship with Zhou Hai, but now that he has taken over the Chamber of Commerce, he needs to know more about him We need to know more about things, especially about the chamber of commerce, which is related to the future development of the chamber of commerce.
