Chapter 911: Invincible
Chen Kaizhi didn't say a word at this moment, and looked at Fang Wu.
The two obviously had a tacit understanding, because at this time, Jiang Hai needed to give him a calm time to weigh the pros and cons, so that he could calmly analyze his own interests and gains and losses.
Jiang Hai's face was dim and his lips were trembling. After a long time, he raised his eyes: "But how can we ensure the safety of Caomin's family?"
Chen Kaizhi stared at Jiang Hai: "As long as Mr. Fang has gained the trust of overseas people, and what you say today, I can guarantee that it will never be revealed. Overseas people cannot find out the truth. Although they are hesitant, they will never kill you and have your wife and children. I cannot guarantee that you can live with your wife and children, but I can guarantee that I will do my best."
Although Chen Kaizhi did not say enough, he still relieved Jiang Hai a little. He hesitated for a moment and raised his eyes seriously: "What does Your Majesty want to ask."
"There are many." Chen Kaizhi smiled, as if he was relieved: "Give Jiang Hai a seat, serve tea, and say slowly."
Then, when no one started to withdraw, someone added a chair to Jiang Hai and the refreshments came up. Jiang Hai seemed very nervous and his body was still shaking. He walked down with difficulty, took a sip of tea, and his face returned to a little rosy.
Fang Wucai was sitting there. In fact, he wanted to say a few words, but after thinking about it carefully, he would dig out the fine details of the river and sea first. After all, if he knew nothing about overseas people, what Fang Wucai had to face next would be an enemy who knew nothing.
The only person standing here was the Jinyiwei Qianhu. Although Chen Kaizhi ordered people to set up a chair for him, he did not dare to sit down.
Chen Kaizhi took the lead and asked: "Who is Yang Taigong?"
Jiang Hai's face was pale: "Yang Taigong is Yang Taigong. His name is Yang Zheng. He is the 37th direct descendant of the Yang family in Guanzhong. The Yang family has been operating overseas for two hundred years. Over the past two hundred years, the Yang family has a tradition that the head of the family has to pretend to die when he reaches a certain age, and then goes overseas to be responsible for operating overseas. Yang Zheng is also the previous head of the family who died in a foreign land, so he pretends to die and goes overseas to operate. The purpose of this is to continue the overseas industry. At the same time, it can also take into account Guanzhong. The head of the Guanzhong family has to go overseas when he reaches a certain age. Therefore, on the surface, the Yang family in Guanzhong and the Yang family in overseas have to go overseas, blocking traffic and cutting off contacts, but because of this, they have contact with each other and relying on each other."
Chen Kaizhi did not expect that the Yang family would have such a system. In this way, it was not just Yang Taigong Yang Zheng who pretended to die, but each generation of Yang family heads adopted this way of succession. When they were young, they were tempered in Guanzhong. When they were old, they appeared overseas by creating death. However, their direct descendants still became the new head of the family in Guanzhong. Until one day, Yang Zheng died overseas, and the heads of Guanzhong appointed their descendants to inherit the Guanzhong family business and then go overseas to take over.
This system... Chen Kaizhi frowned slightly. He had to admit that this was almost the only way that the Yang family could take into account. After all, Guanzhong is too far away from overseas. Once two heads of the family appear, or if they are managed separately with brothers, they are afraid that it will not take two generations and they will completely cut off their relationship and do their own things.
However, in a sense, this alternating inheritance of the old and new inheritance ensures the control of Guanzhong and overseas. The old master is the father of the new head of Guanzhong. Sooner or later, the new head of the family will go out to sea and become the head of the family overseas. His own son will still be in Guanzhong. This most direct blood relationship is the foundation for maintaining interests.
Chen Kaizhi had thought about this issue before. He was both concerned about why Yang Zheng wanted to fake death and what was the purpose of fake death? At the same time, what he was confused about was how the Yang family overseas controlled the Yang family in Guanzhong. After all, it had been operating overseas for two hundred years. If it were really a family two hundred years ago, it would have been almost impossible to get involved.
And now, all doubts have been completely resolved.
Chen Kaizhi smiled: "Two hundred years ago, the ancestor of the Yang family who formulated these family rules was indeed a wonderful person."
He sighed sincerely.
Chen Kaizhi then said, "So, since that's the case, the Empress Dowager and others have always been Yang Zheng's secret chess arrangements, but I want to know why he is so good at laying out these things. What are the benefits for him? Could it be that he really just wants to mess with the world?"
Jiang Hai was silent for a long time, and then said, "Because Yang is overseas, his strength is so great that he can't be greater."
"It's so big that it can't be bigger?" Chen Kaizhi frowned.
Jiang Hai sighed: "The so-called "every man is guilty of being guilty of being a treasure". Yang has been operating for more than a hundred years ago. But as the wealth accumulates, the fleet is getting bigger and bigger, and its strength naturally becomes stronger and stronger. Does Your Majesty know how much gold and silver are hidden in the overseas? Let's just say that last year, the Yang family was in mainland China and bought nearly two million taels of silver. These goods, excluding costs, shipping and manpower expenses, once sent overseas, the price can be doubled. Two million taels of silver can earn more than six or seven million taels of silver. Your Majesty, he
They... But after two hundred years of operation, they have developed like snowballs to the present day. The wealth they have accumulated is enough to hundreds of millions. They have ships of all sizes and thousands. They not only trade in Dachen, but also not only trade with the countries within the Guan Dynasty. Whether it is Japan, the West, the Folangji, the Indian, the Kunlun Prefecture, they have to trade, touch the world, and even to the islands overseas, and the sailors and samurai who have more than 100,000. This is not counting the ronin of Japan, the Kunlun slaves, and the Folangji people who negotiated with them."
Jiang Hai knew everything about his family, and once he started talking, he seemed to have no scruples: "So, the Yang family had a major national policy overseas. What they wanted to seize was not the Great Chen, nor did they want any world. Therefore, from the beginning, the Empress Dowager could actually sacrifice. Even the Yang family in Guanzhong, in the Yang family overseas, may not be a target that can be abandoned, because compared to the small Guanzhong, or compared to the throne of the Great Chen, they simply disdained. Their real goal was to continue to maintain their trade, keep their wealth, and make them invincible forever!"
invincible position……
Chen Kaizhi frowned slightly.
At this moment, Chen Kaizhi thought of a possibility in his mind like lightning.
The Yang family has already possessed countless wealth overseas, and their annual income is even less than the taxes of a country. They already have hundreds of thousands of direct personnel and hire countless warriors and ronin from various countries. They cooperate with many countries overseas. People like them care about the land, or even the so-called family, country and world?
You should know that a huge family that has experienced two hundred years of shipping has arrived in many places many years ago. It is hard to say that Australia has been discovered by them, and there are so many fertile and unlimited lands overseas. As long as they are willing, what is it? In Africa, Australia, and even in Southeast Asia, with their strength, it is easy to directly deal with the local indigenous people, occupy the magpie's nest, and become king.
Obviously, the Yang family was not interested in the so-called throne, or the shattering of the earth and becoming king.
The Yang family is like a certain capital group that grew up. This new ruling group no longer requires population and land, but only needs to control the business path and can continue to grow and eventually become a more powerful entity than an emperor.
Jiang Hai continued: "For the Yang family, the only way to be invincible is to make the world continue to be divided. Your Majesty still remembers, did the Northern Yan invade south? After several generations of emperors' hard work, the national strength finally reached its peak, and then went south to invade Chen. The road was unstoppable, and the Great Chen was shaking, but the people in the world only remembered how Great Chen counterattacked the Northern Yan army, but seemed to have forgotten that at the same time, the Japanese
The pirates began to repeatedly attack the coast of Northern Yan. If it were not for the harassment of Japanese pirates, the burden on the people of Northern Yan was increased, I am afraid that the Yan army, which had almost reached the capital of the Great Chen Kingdom, might not have been greatly defeated. Even though the Beiyan army retreated, the strength of Northern Yan was still there. In the past few decades, they have not faced the continued harassment of Japanese pirates for a day. Even the current Beiyan has lost all its national strength, and it is difficult to do anything among the six countries."
After saying that, Jiang Hai raised his eyes and stared at Chen Kaizhi: "What is the so-called Japanese people? It's just a small country. Why can they have the strength to invade Beiyan? Behind all this is the contribution of the Yang family. The Yang family only needs to use some money to recruit a large number of poor ronin and poor people in Japan, give them weapons and ships, and then they can send countless Japanese people to various islands outside Beiyan. If they want to survive, they have to invade Beiyan, burn, kill, and rob, and do everything."
Jiang Hai then said: "In fact, this is just a small task for the Yang family, and it doesn't even take too much effort. In this world, there are countless islands, and there are not many ragged poor people. They have no tiles on top and no place to stand. For them, living is extremely difficult. As long as they are given weapons and let them fight for a meal, they can devour everything. Then, Your Majesty knows why the Yang family continues to weaken the Northern Yan so much?"
