Chapter 224 A large wave of friends came to meet

Actually, what I want to do is very simple, as long as you agree to accept my daughter," Tong Wei said with a smile.

When Ma Mingfeng heard this, he quickly said with a serious expression: "Don't joke, just talk about the serious matter."

"Okay, then let's talk about serious business. Since we don't have a daughter's business, we can only be friends, not relatives in the future. Since that's the case, I still need you to pay some price. The condition I put forward is that my caravan can go to trade under the banner of your caravan, and we can hand over the taxes to you. As long as we can avoid extortion and exploitation at various levels, we will be satisfied."

This time Tong Wei spoke very seriously, which shows his deep hatred of setting up checkpoints along the way to exploit merchants.

Ma Mingfeng agreed very seriously and said to Tong Wei seriously: "I can promise you this point. Not only that, I can also promise you that once I can make the decision, I will definitely find ways to reduce or even cancel the checkpoints to create conditions for merchants all over the world to smooth trade."

Tong Wei said with gratitude when he heard this: "If you can do this, you will undoubtedly do a great thing for the merchants in the world that will last forever. Please rest assured. Even for your words, I will definitely mobilize some of my friends and friends to do my best to help you. My fleet is on the Xiaguan River, and the caravans are outside the mansion. They are all skilled people I have carefully selected. These people are still for the adults' tribes of their own. I will never charge a twelve silver hiring fee here."

Ma Mingfeng said flatly: "That won't work. What should I do? What should I do? I'm not just for you. I'm for the future of the entire Ming Dynasty. Now there are more and more merchant ships in Western countries and their power is getting stronger and stronger. In another two hundred years, if I don't say that all countries come to pay tribute, I'm afraid I may become a defeated general under these foreign merchants, lose power and humiliate the country, and make a laughing forever!"

"Old man is very considerate, even villains didn't expect this." Tong Wei is becoming more and more impressed and respectful to Ma Mingfeng. He used to think that this was a powerful and enthusiastic official, but now he knows that this is a person with a long-term vision and vision.

Thinking about what Ma Mingfeng agreed to, he felt his blood boiling. He felt that the spring of merchants was coming soon.

"Alas, scholars, farmers, businessmen, scholars, farmers, industrymen, commerce, ancient people have always regarded agriculture as their main business, and industry and commerce as their final business. However, this matter is not desirable at all. On the contrary, Wang Shouren said that the four people have different businesses and the similar people have some truths. In fact, many officials claim to be disciples of saints, but they have not learned the theories of saints well. In fact, saints have never said that valuing agriculture and suppressing commerce? This was proposed by Shang Yang, a representative of the Legalist, but they forgot the most important thoughts of the Legalist. If the world is different, things will be different, and things will be different, and things will be different. In today's era, focusing on the foundation and suppressing the end is simply contrary to the times. If I say, not only can we not focus on the foundation and suppress the end, we should pay attention to industry and commerce, at least we should be the foundation and the industry and commerce should be the foundation."

"English and commerce are all based, and a good business is all based. If officials in the world have the awareness of adults, why worry about the decline in business? "Tong Wei was very excited and exclaimed to Ma Mingfeng: "Your Excellency is so noble, it is really deafening and shining for the ages. I believe that with the support of yours, my Chinese industry and commerce will definitely catch up with and surpass Westerners!"

Tong Wei was in a very happy mood. After so many years, someone finally could say something for them, businessmen. Even for these four words, he felt that his efforts for Ma Mingfeng were worth it.

Then Tong Wei was full of enthusiasm and immediately handed over the caravan in his hand to Ma Mingfeng, and told them that Ma Mingfeng would be their new owner in the future, and gave these people ten years of salary in one go, allowing them to serve Ma Mingfeng within ten years. If they breach the contract, they would have to pay ten times the liquidated damages.

After that, Tong Wei asked Ma Mingfeng to go to Xiaguan to see the boat.

Of course, Ma Mingfeng was also very excited. The problems of the fleet and caravan were solved at once. He could set off to Guangzhou at any time. As for the supplies transported this time, he had actually thought about it. The main thing was to transport silk. After all, Nanjing's silk weaving industry has long been famous all over the world. Ma Mingfeng even knew that in later generations, the famous weaving in Jiangning was not a good place.

So Ma Mingfeng immediately found Wu Jing and handed over the tens of thousands of taels of silver he had obtained to Wu Jing, asking him to purchase high-end silk in Nanjing. After the purchase was completed, he loaded the goods on board and drove to Guangzhou.

As soon as the matter was explained, the servant ran over and said, "Young master, someone is visiting you outside and said that it is your old friend."

Ma Mingfeng did not hesitate and immediately ordered to invite him.

As a result, after the people came, they found that there were several of them, and they were all good friends he met when he took the exam, one was Wang Xi and the other was Ji Tengjiao. It turned out that Wang Xi and Ma Mingfeng passed the imperial examination together, but they were not selected as Hanlin at that time, but were admitted to the Censorate of the Censorate. Later, they were released as the inspector of Jiangxi. However, Wang Xi felt it was boring to continue working, so he resigned and stopped working. At this time, he met Ji Tengjiao, an old friend who failed to take the exam in the previous exam but passed the imperial examination. At that time, Ma Mingfeng's achievements were rumored in the north, and it was natural that the two of them were inseparable from chatting with each other. Later, the two discussed that it would be better to go to join Ma Mingfeng together so that they could serve the country.

So in this situation, the two came to Nanjing together and met Ma Mingfeng.

Ma Mingfeng was still very happy about the arrival of these two old friends, so he quickly asked someone to welcome them.

However, when the tea came up and before he started drinking, the servant panted again and said, "Young Master, there is someone outside who claims to be your friend. I wonder if the young master will not see him?"

Ma Mingfeng immediately gave instructions to the servant and invited the man.

Soon, the curtain swayed and a cheerful voice came: "The second-level master, I haven't seen him for a long time, but do you still remember me?"

Ma Mingfeng was overjoyed when he saw the visitor and laughed and said, "Yu Chenglong, I really didn't expect it to be you! He went from the capital to Nanjing for thousands of miles. How did you come here?"
Chapter completed!
