Yang Tinghe's personal ethics are still good.
Although he is now the chief minister's disciple and former officials are all over the court, he has not used these resources to benefit himself.
He has farmland at home, but it is in Sichuan, and he does not occupy farmland enclosures near the capital.
I didn’t even open a shop to make money.
Yang Ji's business development has nothing to do with the chief minister's family.
After the last impeachment, the two sides were vaguely opposed to each other.
This visit was a bit weird.
After the meeting, Yang Chengzu discovered that Yang Shen was just an introduction, and the person who actually wanted to meet him was the chief assistant Yang Tinghe himself.
This old man was wearing casual clothes and sitting in this small teahouse, looking like an ordinary rich man.
But if you look at him a few more times, you will feel that this old man has a mountain-like momentum that makes people dare not underestimate him.
There was a pot of fragrant tea in front of him, and a middle-aged scribe was serving it carefully.
From his appearance to his clothes, this scribe is very ordinary.
If he enters a crowd, he will probably never be found again.
Compared with the energetic Yang Shen, many people would subconsciously ignore his existence.
Yang Chengzu was in charge of the factory guard, but he knew the situation of this middle-aged scribe.
He knew that he was actually Yang Tinghe's close aide, talking about Fanghe.
He was Yang Tinghe's disciple and an important adviser.
Some of the chief minister's letters were written by him, and he could also make decisions for the chief minister in handling general affairs.
In terms of status in Yang Tinghe's family, he was actually not much different from Yang Shen.
Seeing him come in, Yang Tinghe nodded casually, just like an elder greeting his younger generation, and called Yang Chengzu over.
Tan Fanghe poured a cup of tea for Yang Chengzu, and then retreated behind Yang Tinghe, like Yang Tinghe's shadow, no longer noticeable.
Yang Chengzu bowed respectfully, "I just thought it was Brother Sheng'an who wanted to ask me for something.
I didn't expect it was Old Man Yang who was summoned.
There are many things on the construction site, so I came a little slow.
Don't blame me."
In the Ming Dynasty, old man was regarded as the most honorific title in communication.
In another time and space, Yan Song was called old man, and the person who called him was accused of flattery, which shows the effectiveness of this title.
Yang Chengzu's respect for Yang Tinghe was not fake.
In any case, this was the old man's contribution to the empire and his status.
Even if we are not from the same place, due etiquette should not be lacking.
Yang Tinghe gave an easy-going smile, "I don't dare to take it seriously.
The Governor is busy with official duties, and I am also busy with worldly affairs.
I have wanted to see you for a long time, but we didn't even take the time.
Today, I would like to spare the Governor some time and sit down and chat for a while.
Homely things, the governor is willing Fanghe is my disciple, Shen'er worked with you in the southeast, and no one is outside.
I also know the owner of this teahouse.
We are only here to entertain a table of guests today, so we don't have to worry about outsiders disturbing us.
Let’s see if the Governor is available.”
"Yuan Fu has shouldered the entire world on his own.
The burden on his shoulders is much heavier than that of the younger generation.
In front of you, I don't have the guts to say that I have no time."
Yang Tinghe made a gesture, and both Yang Shen and Tan Fanghe sat down.
The atmosphere was very harmonious, as if they were just a few close friends taking a break from their busy schedule to have a drink in the teahouse.
However, regardless of their identities or status, it is impossible for these people to spare time for a tea gathering.
Yang Tinghe naturally has his own intentions for coming here.

Yang Chengzu didn't know what aspect of himself had attracted the attention of the chief minister, so he could only look at him with a calm face, waiting for the important minister of the empire to speak.
"Some time ago, there was a flood in the Yellow River.
I heard that Yang Ji made a lot of efforts.
He donated money and food, and organized a large number of workers to help with the river work.
The Yellow River was raging every year, and every year, it caused a large number of refugees.
This year, it was a rare good situation.
Several important places were blocked.
There were refugees in some places, but they were calmed down by Yang Ji and no trouble was caused.
It can be said that A good word.
In the past, Lao Cai said that when faced with natural disasters, merchants were often more effective than the government in providing disaster relief, and at least fewer people died.
Unfortunately, because of this idea, Lao Cao was always criticized.
People criticized me for speaking for businessmen and ignoring the lives of the people.
Yang Ji’s incident showed everyone who did the better job in disaster relief. " "Thank you, Yuan Weng.
You are a practical person, and I admire you.
The business is more active than the government, because it wants to make money, so it dares to work hard.
It is true that you can save more people with them, but the actual situation is often I saved more rich people, but those without money will still die anyway. .
Yang Ji is not interested in the rich, and prefers to save the poor.
After all, there is a difference.
Yang Ji is a businessman, and his power is limited.
He can only help out with the government.
If a person has no head, he will not leave, and a bird will not fly without a head. , The real meritorious service in this disaster relief work is the local government.”
"If I want to say that the official has a small contribution, it is that he always remembers the court and long live, and does not think about making money from natural disasters.
All materials are sold at a fair price and do not make profits from them.
Businessmen do not think about making profits from them during natural disasters.
The lives of the people are just like this.
It would be much easier, but I also know that this is impossible.
The diligent businessmen are just taking advantage of natural disasters to harvest their fields. , to recruit workers, or else they are trying every possible means to make a fortune for themselves.
Although it seems to save people, in fact, it sometimes causes bigger problems.
Too many people have no food to eat, no farmland, and those who are lucky enough to become tenants. , those who are unlucky will take risks.
If they are allowed to survive and become rebels, I would rather starve them to death to avoid shaking the country. " Yang Shen took a sip of tea and straightened his face, "Brother, what you said seems not benevolent enough.
Many people in the capital praised Yang Ji for lowering the price of food and that he was the great savior and great Bodhisattva.
If they heard it, I don't know what they would think. ” "Haha, Brother Sheng'an is joking.
I am not a great savior or a great Bodhisattva, but I am just a cruel official.
I do these things for the sake of the stability of the country and the peace of the world.
I am a minister who lives a happy life.
I have done my duty.
As for what the people think of me, to be honest, I have never cared.”
Yang Chengzu raised his hand to Yang Tinghe again, "Yuan Weng is a sensible person, and he also cares about the people.
Please tell me, let those refugees become bandits, plunder everywhere, kill officials and seize the government, what good thing will it do to the people?
Sometimes, although some words ugly , but when I do it, it is true compassion.
Of course, if I can, I still hope to save more people, without starving to death or decapitating people.
If people shout long live the saint, I will be a good citizen with peace of mind, and I will count it as a meritorious deed.
Complete.”
Yang Tinghe did not comment, only nodded: "The young hero of the governor is loyal to Long Live.
It is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty to have an official like you.

There are businessmen like you who do not seek profit in the shopping mall, and it is indeed a good thing for those poor people."
It's a good thing.
After living for such a long time, I have experienced a lot of things and seen a lot.
Today, I would like to say that I rely on my elders to show off my elders.
Governor, the Ming Dynasty is a big country.
A hundred flowers should bloom, and one should not stand out alone.
Leave one for other businessmen.
Let's go. ian:
