    "Compared to stabbing Eunuch Liu to death, the unmerciful invitation to invest in Tianjin was undoubtedly as peaceful as a blessing from a heavenly official. Qin Kan could clearly see several shopkeepers in the room heaving a sigh of relief.

    After giving some mental stimulation to the business owners, Qin Kan finally revealed the purpose of summoning the shopkeepers.

    Investing in Tianjin is not only because of the commitment to Tang Zihe, Tianjin¡¯s prosperity is also very important to Qin Kan himself.

    To change this era, we must take some practical actions. Changing Tianjin is the first step for Qin and Kan. A city on the coast and converging the Cao River has such an important geographical location. Now it is just a small earth city. This is Qin and Kan's first step.  unacceptable.

    To enrich the people, strengthen the country, and strengthen the army, the sea ban must first be opened. Before the sea ban is opened, Tianjin must be prosperous. This is Qin Kan's plan. He knows how taboo the sea ban is for those with vested interests in the court, and he also knows how big he will face.  The storm is blowing hard, but this step must be taken out eventually.

    ¡°What he can do now is to remain calm and slowly change Tianjin¡¯s appearance in a subtle and silent way.

    " To prosper Tianjin, we must first attract investment. Every dynasty and every generation cannot ignore the power of merchants. The purpose of summoning these dozen shopkeepers of famous large merchants in the capital today is also the same.

    As soon as Qin Kan's words came out, more than a dozen big businessmen were stunned for a moment. They can achieve a career in a mixed environment like the capital, so they are not stupid. As soon as they heard it, they understood the purpose of Lord Qin's summoning them today.

    There was silence in the room, and more than a dozen people were silent, with somewhat embarrassed expressions on their faces.

    Like Zhou Yuanwai, if Qin Kan only asked for money from them, even if it was tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, they would give it without saying a word, and they would even be willing to take more, because Qin Kan's status was worth the price.

    But investing in Tianjin

    In business circles, in their eyes, the small town in Tianjin, which is made up of nooks and crannies, can be said to be a remote place. How can it be worth their money?  Everyone has rich experience in doing business. If you make an investment in a small place like Tianjin, not to mention the risks involved, even if you get results, you won't be able to see it for a year or two. The rate of return is too low.

    Except for one situation, if the imperial court suddenly decides to impose a sea ban, then Tianjin's location will be very important. At that time, needless to say, businessmen from all over the Ming Dynasty will swarm in, seize the time to seize the hilltop site, open shops and logistics  The Internet established trade routes between the Ming Dynasty and small countries such as Korea, Japan, Ryukyu and even Southeast Asia at the fastest speed.

    However, the imperial court has banned the sea for more than a hundred years. The sea ban was an ancestral system established by Taizu. How could it be broken?

    Without this premise, Tianjin, a small city, really has no investment value for businessmen.

    The silence in the room remained, everyone looked at each other and said nothing, but no one came out to express his position.

    Qin Kan probably understood what everyone was thinking. He smiled slightly and said, "Looking at everyone's expressions, it seems that they would rather stab Eunuch Liu to death than invest in Tianjin?"

    Everyone¡¯s cheeks twitched violently at the same time.

    ? Even a blind person can see that everyone¡¯s expressions clearly indicate that they are unwilling to do two things.

    Zhou Yuanwai coughed twice, cupped his hands and said: "Master Hou, Zhou Ji Company is willing to give you 150,000 taels of silver as a gift. Please accept it."

    Not only everyone, but also Qin Kan were slightly surprised.

    This Zhou Yuanwai is so generous and courageous. Just now he only gave 50,000 taels, but now he has changed his mind and added a full 100,000 taels. However, the implication of his words is also very clear. He just wants Qin Kan to accept these 150,000 taels.  After ten thousand taels, he no longer mentioned investing in Tianjin. He could afford to give away the money, but he really had no interest in investing in Tianjin. Investing in a city with the combined efforts of more than a dozen big businessmen here was obviously not something that could be solved by 150,000 taels.  However, it is more likely to be a bottomless pit that cannot be filled.

    As soon as Zhou Yuanwai expressed his position, everyone rushed to increase the price. They all gave generously, but the meaning was the same. They had no interest in asking Mr. Hou to find someone else to invest in Tianjin.

    Qin Kan frowned and said nothing with a cold face. The room gradually became quiet. Businessmen are good at observing faces. It can be seen from the expression of the Marquis Qin that the Marquis was unhappy.

    Zhou Yuanwai secretly sighed, cupped his hands and said: "Master Hou, I have the guts to say a few inappropriate words. It is known to the whole world that Master Hou and Eunuch Liu are not on good terms. Now Eunuch Liu is investigating the fields, official warehouses and Weituns all over the world. The New Deal is in full swing, and Master Hou is also  Everyone can understand that you want to implement the New Deal and gain prestige in the court, but Lord Marquiswhy did you choose Tianjin?"

    Qin Kan was stunned, then burst into laughter.

    It can be regarded as being judged by others with a villain's heart. It turns out that these people thought they were building Tianjin for the sake ofHaving learned the lesson from Qin Kan's rescue of Wang Shouren last time, he no longer came forward in person, but ordered Xichang to be convicted, and then sentenced to beheading and abandoning the market, and to be executed three days later.

    The powers of the Ming Dynasty during this period were very chaotic. The emperor was negligent and the eunuchs were in power. The power of Jinyiwei and Dongxichang were infinitely magnified. It seemed that everything could be controlled and judged. Therefore, many cases did not go through the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and factory guards at all.  They directly took the criminals to prison, and after a sloppy interrogation, they were convicted. Even the executions were handled by the factory guards. It can be said that arresting, interrogating, killing, producing and selling one-stop services. With the factory guards as a troublemaker,  How could the imperial court not be in chaos?  Needless to say, Qin Kan is also one of the troublemakers.

    After the news of Yang Yiqing's conviction came out, the whole court was in an uproar. The ministers were shocked and angry. Liu Jin became more and more arrogant. Even a loyal minister like Mr. Yang, the trilateral commander-in-chief, killed him at will. Where is the justice?  Has the world of Lang Lang really become a world dominated by eunuchs?

    When the whole court was shocked and angry, there was an anxious figure running up and down for Yang Yiqing.

    This anxious figure is not Qin Kan, but Li Dongyang, the cabinet scholar.

    The next day after confirming the news, Li Dongyang visited Liu Jin's door again, only to return angrily again.

    Obviously Liu Jin was determined to put Yang Yiqing to death this time. Yang Yiqing refused Eunuch Liu's solicitation without giving face, but that's all. She actually mocked him severely. Eunuch Liu was not big-minded, and his gender was also very important.  He was vague, and he didn't know if he had a feeling of "don't have sorrow and hatred" for Yang Yiqing. Anyway, Yang Yiqing must be killed this time, and the cabinet bachelor did not buy it when he interceded.

    Li Dongyang was anxious. Regardless of justice or personal relations, he could not sit back and watch Yang Yiqing be beheaded. However, the matter seemed to be a foregone conclusion. Liu Jin's decision had never been changed. If Liu Jin was dragging his feet in implementing the so-called New Deal, but when it came to murder,  Liu Jin, on the other hand, has always been decisive and extremely efficient.

    No one can save the person Liu Jin decided to kill, but

    Anxious Li Dongyang was agitated, and a familiar figure appeared in his mind.

    Others may not be able to save him, so why can¡¯t he?

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    As night falls, thousands of lights are on.

    An official sedan stopped quietly at the gate of the Shanyin Hou Mansion. An old servant beside the sedan took a name card and handed it to the porter of the Hou Mansion.

    Qin Kan in the backyard frowned deeply when he received the invitation.

    "Why did Li Dongyang come to see me?" Qin Kan murmured to himself.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    This old fox seems to be his nemesis. No matter what plots and tricks he has, they are all obvious to Li Dongyang. The old fox seems to have a magic mirror in his hand, which makes Qin Kan unable to hide, so now Qin Kan tries his best to treat him.  I would hide if I could, I was actually a bit afraid of him.

    However, since people have already come to the door, it is not appropriate to hide anymore. Qin Kan had no choice but to welcome Li Dongyang out the door and personally invite Li Dongyang into the front hall.

    Li Dongyang is very kind, and the way he twirls his long beard and smiles has a sense of elegance like a Taoist immortal. In fact, Qin Kan also hopes that the old guy will join the immortal class as soon as possible, and don't stay in the world to hinder him from deceiving others. He has a look of insight.  Ran's expression is very annoying.

    The maid served tea, Li Dongyang took it and took a sip, then smiled and said: "I heard that the Marquis of Shanyin rarely returned to Beizhen Fusi to handle official duties after returning to Beijing from Tianjin?"

    Qin Kangong cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I am on maternity leave and I really have no time to take care of him."

    Li Dongyang was stunned: "Maternity leave?"

    "My wife is about to give birth. I want to spend more time with her, and also want to see the child born with my own eyes." Speaking of this, Qin Kan rarely showed a touch of warmth on his face.

    Li Dongyang was silent for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "Being a husband is a thousand times better than being an official. If it could be reversed, it would be a blessing for the world"

    Qin Kan¡¯s face turned a little green. Is the old guy coming to pick a fight tonight?

    ¡°I don¡¯t know why Mr. Li personally came to Humble House tonight for¡± Qin Kan decided to go straight to the topic and didn¡¯t want to go around in circles with him.

    Li Dongyang smiled and said: "Of course I will come to you if I have anything to do."

    Qin Kan frowned, and his tone was a little dissatisfied: "Mr. Li, please don't blame me for the misfortune of any of my colleagues in the court. Recently, in addition to killing hundreds of people in the West Factory and setting fire to several houses,  Other than that, I have been very law-abiding"
