The Chinese nation has never been a maritime power, so even though the Southern Song Dynasty has developed water transportation now, in comparison, the utilization of water transportation has not reached a more mature stage at this time.

If Ye Qing wants to be a successful slander or powerful minister, then the water transportation must focus on making some use.

However, it is obvious that if Ye Qing wants to make good use of the waters under the jurisdiction of Song Dynasty, it is obviously not enough to rely on the various gaps left out by the Maritime Bureau.

What's more, although Shi Miyuan and him have suffered a disadvantage in the past few years, the Maritime Service has always been like a staple. Even with the help of Yan Qingzhi and the Qian family, Ye Qing has achieved results that are not a pleasure, and it is not considered as a big advantage for Shi Miyuan.

So now Ye Qing's idea has reached the territory of the Jin people. Naturally, Haizhou is the most ideal camp for troops in Ye Qing's mind.

The East-West Island and Cangwu Mountain, which is the Yuntai Mountain in later generations, formed a natural dock. The East-West Island and Cangwu Mountain were also very suitable for camping. Therefore, in this era, for Ye Qing, this place could not only avoid the surveillance of the Song court, but also be perfect and impeccable, and could become a sharp blade in the hinterland of the Jin people.

He believed that Zhao Bingwen would never agree to his garrison in Haizhou, so he also traded to open up the water transportation in Haizhou. As the wharf grew and even when the entire wharf was controlled by him, the road was already completed. Even if Zhao Bingwen wanted to repent, it would be too late, unless he wanted to lose his head and did not want to live, he would report to Jin Ting.

Zhao Bingwen happily used the soap to clean his hands, thinking from time to time that the burning candles when he was reading last night, or the Poli utensils he used deliberately when he was drinking tea last night, all made him feel satisfied.

Just like people's mentality about luxury goods in the previous life, Zhao Bingwen, a literati official, is no exception. Naturally, he also hopes to use the expensive and rare treasures for daily necessities.

He signaled the maid to put away the soap. Just after wiping his hands, the servant reported that Dong Chao had arrived.

"Come on your behalf." Zhao Bingwen looked in a good mood today. At least, compared to the way Dong Chao frowned when he visited him in the past.

Wu Jue, Bandouer stayed outside the study room, and Ye Qing and Dong Chao followed the servants of the Zhao Mansion to the study room in the backyard.

As Ye Qing and Dong Chao entered the study, Zhao Bingwen, who was still playing with Poli vessels just now, carefully put down the Poli vessels, with a look of surprise and even a reproachful look at Dong Chao, obviously complaining about why he wanted to bring strangers to see him.

"Is this..." Zhao Bingwen, who had a smile on his face just now, saw that there were two people coming in, his expression regained his former majesty again. He sat on the chair behind the desk and asked faintly.

After watching the servant walk out of the study and bring the door, Dong Chao bowed with a smile, and then introduced to the majestic and powerful Zhao Bingwen, who looked like a majestic and powerful person, and said: "Mr. Zhao, this is what I often mention to you, Lord Ye, the appeasement envoy and prefect of Huainan East Road."

"What?" Zhao Bingwen just leaned leisurely on the back of the chair, suddenly stood up, looking at Ye Qing with an easy-going smile, and couldn't believe it, "You... are Ye Qing... Lord Ye?"

"Yes, Ye Qing, the pacifier and prefect of Huainan East Road, has met Lord Ye." Ye Qing said with a smile.

"Hurry, please sit down." Zhao Bingwen hurriedly walked out from behind the desk and reached out to invite Ye Qing to sit down on the chair in front of the window.

At this time, his inner shock was greater than his doubts, because he never expected that Ye Qing would suddenly descend into Haizhou City, and he would dare to appear alone in his mansion.

Therefore, the doubts about Ye Qing's age in his heart shocked him at this moment, and in a little panic, he had no chance to mention it.

"Because things were too hasty, I came to visit Lord Zhao rashly, and I hope Lord Zhao will not be accustomed to it." Ye Qing and Zhao Bingwen sat down on the chair in front of the window and said apologetically to Zhao Bingwen.

"Where is there... Lord Ye was joking." At this time, Zhao Bingwen was worried about not the purpose of Ye Qing's visit, but the two large trucks of goods he pulled into the mansion. If those were given to him by Dong Chao's own initiative, he was really afraid that Ye Qing would ask him to go back when he knew about it.

So at this time, he was not in a mood to blame Ye Qing for coming to visit rashly, only concerned about the priceless goods that had just entered the mansion.

Zhao Bingwen invited Dong Chao several times in a row, hoping that he would sit down and talk, but in front of Ye Qing, in the study room, Dong Chao knew that there was no place for him to sit at all, so he smiled and shook his head to refuse Zhao Bingwen's invitation, and said to Ye Qing and Zhao Bingwen: "Sir, I will go out to see the surroundings first. If you have any questions, please give me instructions."

Ye Qing nodded without saying a word. Although Zhao Bingwen had no expression on his face, he was still surprised that Ye Qing was so old that he could actually get a capable general like Dong Chao. Moreover, Dong Chao had known him for some time. He thought that he would definitely be an extraordinary person in the Song court, and even if not, he thought he should be an indispensable and extremely important member around Ye Qing.

But the scene in front of him was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect that in front of Ye Qing, Dong Chao was not even qualified to sit down and speak.

In Zhao Bingwen's eyes, Ye Qing had a cunning connotation with his age. Even though he was in Haizhou now, the young man in front of him was not nervous at all, calm and calm, as if everything was in his control.

"If Lord Zhao likes this utensil, Ye happened to have some top-quality items. I'll ask Dong Chao to deliver it to you in a while." Ye Qing glanced at the Poli utensil on the desk, and then said with a smile.

"Mr. Ye, you are polite. Zhao does like this crystal clear thing, but as the saying goes, you lose your ambition. Master Ye doesn't have to do this." Zhao Bingwen said politely.

"That's right, but I believe that with Lord Zhao's knowledge and cultivation, I am not those who are distracted from ambition and have no ambition. Ye has admired everything about Haizhou along the way. Under Lord Zhao's rule, Haizhou is obviously a blessing for the people of Haizhou." Ye Qing politely compliments, ignoring Zhao Bingwen's eyes, staring at the Poli utensils on the table.

I want to be a bitch and set up a archway. Obviously, I am talking about people like Zhao Bingwen, who say he doesn't want it but his body is very honest.

But Ye Qing obviously didn't want to give him a reassurance so soon, and started to talk nonsense. Until the two talked about noon, Ye Qing still did not mention the so-called top-quality ones in the Poli utensils.

"So I don't know that Lord Ye suddenly came to Haizhou this time..." Zhao Bingwen began to take the initiative to point out the topic because he found that no matter what he said to Ye Qing, Ye Qing knew more than him.

What shocked him was that the relationship between Ye Qing and the Emperor's Crown Wanyan Jing in front of him was so close. The letter he took out showed that it was written by the Emperor's Crown himself at a glance. Whether it was the tone of running script or between the lines, you could feel the respect and praise of the Emperor's Crown for Ye Qing.

Ye Qing did not directly answer Zhao Bingwen's question, but instead played with the Poli utensils and asked back without answering: "By the way, is Liu Zhonghui still the prince of your country now? "

"Yes, over the years, I originally thought that Lord Liu would have the best chance to be promoted to the position of Taishi, but because Lord Ye..." Zhao Bingwen said halfway through a smile, and suddenly stopped talking, his expression became more solemn. Even when he looked at Ye Qing, there was a hint of respect.

"It's been more than three years. Jing'er went to Lin'an in person to convince me, but she didn't expect that more than three years have passed in a flash. The position of Grand Tutor is still vacant. The emperor's grandson is so sincere that I feel ashamed." Ye Qing played with the vessel and said in a somewhat slight tone.

"Yes, yes, the crown prince is eager to seek talent. What's more, when Lord Ye went to the Jin Kingdom, he was the crown prince's army. Although it was not long, the crown prince was a person who valued love and righteousness. He was a position of the crown prince for many years and waited for Lord Ye for many years. This sincerity made me admire him." Zhao Bingwen's cheeks began to become stiff when he heard Ye Qing calling Wanyan Jing as Jing'er, and even the smile seemed to be engraved on his face, which seemed extremely inconsistent.

"So if Lord Zhao is me, Ye, I wonder how Lord Zhao would make a decision?" Ye Qing seduced Zhao Bingwen step by step, and asked Zhao Bingwen to follow the vague answer he gave to analyze it down.

After all, the position of Taishi is already considered an extremely powerful minister, and not many people in the Jin Dynasty did not know about the relationship between Ye Qing and Wanyan Jing. Moreover, for many times, the court would pass through Haizhou and other places to take some rumors about Ye Qing and Wanyan Jing's close relationship with the Southern Song Dynasty.

So, looking at Ye Qing's attitude seemed to be half-suppressed and half-hearted, Zhao Bingwen's attitude seemed to be high-ranking. The act of getting along with him, Zhao Bingwen couldn't help but wonder if Ye Qing had secretly invested in big gold?

After all, in Zhao Bingwen's view, although the position of Taishi is not as high as that in the Song Dynasty, he still has a certain amount of power in the Great Jin Kingdom.

Moreover, the truth above the officialdom sometimes does not necessarily depend on whether your position is important, but on what the person sitting on the dragon throne has to do with you!

Now the prince is terminally ill. To put it bluntly, it is just a last breath. The current emperor Wanyan Yong appointed Prince Jinyuan as the crown prince at this time. Even the blind man can see such a move clearly. As long as the current emperor has been in a hundred years, the prince who ascended the throne will never be the crown prince who is about to die, but will definitely be the disciple of Ye Qing, the emperor's grandson of the Great Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Jing.

Wanyan Jing ascended the throne. If Ye Qing assisted him, even if he only served as the Grand Tutor, with his relationship with Wanyan Jing, who would dare, in the Great Jin Dynasty, and have the strength to compete with him?

The position of Taishi and the relationship with Wanyan Jing, if it were him, Zhao Bingwen, he would not even consider it. He would not even do anything with a false refusal, and would immediately agree to become the Taishi of the Great Jin Kingdom.

After all, if you have the position of Taishi and the support of the emperor and grandson, then what do you want at that time? Fame, wealth, ideals and pride, and ambition to serve the country. As long as you are willing, you can rely on your own abilities to do whatever you want in the world of Dajin. Leaving a name in history is not a rash statement.

Looking at Ye Qing's expression that almost confirmed that it was this, Zhao Bingwen suddenly fell into trouble.

It can only be understood but not expressed in words. Most of the tacit transactions in the officialdom come from such ambiguous answers.

The struggles in the officialdom also made many officials, because they could only understand and not express such incredible literati behavior, and would eventually misunderstand it, and even make a thousand miles apart, and they would take advantage of their own future and even their lives.

Zhao Bingwen is now facing such a situation, and he can only understand and not express it. He either bet on a big one or a bet on Ye Qing's care, promotion, or even promotion of his disciples in the future.

Or you can make the words clear with Ye Qing, then if Ye Qing really goes to the Jin Kingdom to serve as the Grand Tutor and becomes the real gentleman of the crown prince Wanyan Jing, then Zhao Bingwen will be useless even if he takes much regret medicine.

Even the crystal clear, bright and seductive vessel in front of me will be taken back by Master Ye. As for me, it is obvious that Haizhou cannot stay. There are some hard work in the northwest direction. Maybe it will become a place of peace for the rest of my life after a moment of thought.

"Secretary..." Zhao Bingwen's face was somewhat embarrassed. Such a change still seemed somewhat embarrassed for him, a literati.

"Mr. Zhao, Ye might as well just say it straight, so as not to misunderstand you and me." Ye Qing continued to play with the Poli products, with a hint of sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Haizhou Pier, East-West Island, and Yuntai Mountain's wharf, Lord Zhao doesn't have to worry about it in the future. As for what will happen there, Lord Zhao will turn a blind eye. Of course..."

Ye Qing interrupted Zhao Bingwen's words just now, reached out to stop him, and continued, "Haizhou Pier should have you, and you will never lose a penny in the future. Shandong East Road has eleven states. If you include the governor Yidu Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture, Shandong East Road can be said to be thirteen states. This is not small. At that time, as long as Lord Zhao moves a little, Jinan Prefecture will probably be no problem. After all,... money can make the devil push the mill."

Ye Qing's words did not show his attitude at all, and what he said was just to give Zhao Bingwen a lot of money. When Zhao Bingwen is capable, you can just run for yourself and give gifts to others for promotion.

But it was the same thing that he said such words. In Zhao Bingwen, who had ulterior motives and had some desires, it sounded naturally not as simple as Ye Qing said.

As if he gave Zhao Bingwen a reassurance, Zhao Bingwen felt like Ye Qingxun gave him a position of at least the prefect of Jinan Prefecture, and even... If Zhao Bingwen himself was sensible, it would be very likely that he would be the prefect of Yidu Prefecture.

However, Zhao Bingwen's officialdom in recent years has not been in vain. He is ambiguous and can only understand things that cannot be expressed in words. He still needs to calmly consider and analyze the interests before he can give Ye Qing a clear answer.

Seeing Ye Qing finally put down the Poli utensils that he had been playing with for a long time, Zhao Bingwen thought for a while and asked, "I wonder how long Lord Ye plans to stay in Haizhou?"

"I left early the morning after tomorrow. It was impossible for me to leave Yangzhou for too long. This time it was the seventh time since I was the prefect of Huainan East Road. I felt a cold occasionally." Ye Qing replied with a smile.

Zhao Bingwen looked clear and said, "If Lord Ye is not afraid..." Zhao Bingwen didn't know how to claim himself. If he claimed to be a subordinate, it seems a bit inappropriate now. Once he gets used to it, it may make Ye Qing unhappy. So after pausing, Zhao Bingwen still claimed to be Zhao, "Tomorrow evening, Zhao will prepare a small banquet in the mansion and invite Lord Ye to enjoy the glory. At that time, Zhao will definitely give Lord Ye a clear answer?"

"Even if we welcome Ye, it can be regarded as practicing for Ye. Lord Zhao's move is clever. Ye will definitely attend the banquet tomorrow evening." Ye Qing looked at the Poli utensils and finally said, "Since that's the case, there will be a pair of Poli wine utensils tomorrow. If Lord Zhao doesn't dislike it, I will send someone to you later. It's just right that you and I will drink it happily tomorrow. Wouldn't it be a pleasure!"

"Hahaha, if Lord Ye has to worry, then Zhao is more respectful than obedient." Zhao Bingwen hurriedly stood up with Ye Qing. When the study door opened, Zhao Bingwen immediately restored his noble character as a scholar, but even so, he still ignored the servant's side-eye and finally sent Ye Qing onto the carriage himself.

Wu Punishment followed Ye Qing into the carriage, looked at Ye Qing's frowning, thinking that things had not been done, so he immediately said, "The last one has been arranged and the umbrella has been prepared. In one word, I promise that after we leave, we will be unaware..."

"I will invite me to the banquet tomorrow evening, and I will be at his house. From now on, I will stare at him to see who he is in contact with. It is really not possible. I will throw a lot of money at his servants. From today to tomorrow evening, I will know what he has seen and what he has said without saying anything." Ye Qing said decisively.

"Okay, I understand, Dou'er, get out of the car with me." When Wu Pin stepped on the shaft behind Broadbean, he did not forget to pat the back of Broadbean's head and signaled Broadbean to follow him to do the job.

After Wu Jue left, Ye Qing bit his lip. Things were easier than he thought, but also more difficult than he thought.

Zhao Bingwen is very skilled in changing his mind when he sees the wind. It can be seen that over the years, he has been a veteran in the officialdom of the Jin Dynasty. Such people can be easily picked up by one on the other in person.

I originally thought that if the interests could not convince Zhao Bingwen, I would take the Zhao Song royal family to explain the righteousness to him, but now it seems that it is impossible to use it. Moreover... if necessary, the Zhao Song royal family can no longer stay in Haizhou and must change places.
