Chapter 085
Most of the imperial supplies of the Great Zhou Dynasty were responsible for the internal affairs office, but there were many things involved in the palace, and it was impossible for the internal affairs office to cover everything, which led to the existence of imperial merchants. At first, the Imperial Merchants www.biquge.info only managed rare objects from various places and exotic lands, and at best, they were a hand for the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
However, with the corruption of the internal affairs office, the emperor gradually handed over the various expenses in the palace to the imperial merchants. It's just that looking at the current situation, the second room of the Wu family is really insatiable, and the emperor is afraid that he wants to serve them even in the pot.
Thinking about those things that should have belonged to Wu Shaohuai, it would be a pity if they were all returned to the emperor's private treasury. It always takes time to collect evidence when the household department investigates the case, and Shu Yao feels that it is still necessary to inform Wu Shaohuai.
Shu Jiao guessed that the reason why the emperor wanted to attack the Wu family was probably because the treasury was empty, and the war with Northern Liao had not yet been fought with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and last year's natural disaster exempted many taxes, and the emperor had no money in his hands.
In Shu Yao's view, the current emperor is very uneconomical. In a huge country, although the expenses are quite large, there are a lot of inputs, and it is not easy for a diligent emperor to make the situation like this.
However, this is the disadvantage of the small-scale peasant economy, which has not been avoided by successive emperors. Once there is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, many people will be displaced, but the Great Zhou Dynasty has encountered both natural and man-made disasters.
Although there are many ways to make money in Shu Yao's mind, it can't change the current situation of low grain production in this era, after all, no matter how good the silver is, it can't be eaten directly. With her identity, she really can't manage so much, if Li Weijin ascends the throne, Shu Yao can still give some advice, if she rushes into advice now, I'm afraid I don't know how she died.
So what Shu Yao can do is to help the second prince get more silver, anyway, this silver will not be more useful in the hands of the emperor than in her hands.
"Banxia, how much of the Wu family's property do you say there is in this capital?" Shu Yao only knew about Wu Shaohuai's share, and as for the size of the entire Wu family, she really didn't know.
"That's a lot, my uncle is afraid that he hasn't even got one percent, and the only valuable Drunken Immortal Pavilion is still his own. Although Banxia doesn't know how much the Wu family has, she is a native of Beijing, and she still knows which time-honored shops belong to the Wu family.
"Less than one percent, is the Wu family so rich?" Shu Jiao felt that she was a little blind before, and she wanted to eat the Wu family's cake, but she probably didn't have this appetite.
"Miss, don't believe it, I'm not bragging, this number is still a conservative estimate, and the hundred-year-old big family is not just that little business on the surface? But their population is also large, if the children and grandchildren of the family are divided into another point, the ones that fall into everyone's hands will not be so eye-catching. Banxia looks very arrogant, but she knows better than anyone else in her heart.
After hearing this, Shu Yao fell into deep thought, even if the emperor wants to raid the house, he should only want cash, and most of those real estate will be exchanged for silver. If her father took over the case, he would still be able to get a lot of shops and Zhuangzi at a low price, but what she asked for was more than that.
Banxia saw that Shu Yao stopped talking, and thought that she was feeling sorry for Wu Shaohuai. "Miss, although our uncle is no longer the young master of the Wu family, the two of you can definitely save a bigger family business together!"
"What are you thinking about in your head, this is to recognize your uncle?" Shu Yao realized that Banxia had changed his name to Wu Shaohuai as his uncle, and he didn't know where this girl thought of it.
"Your marriage with Wu Gongzi is a sure thing, is there any difference between me calling it earlier or later?" Banxia was still very satisfied with her young lady's marriage, but it was not because of her family background, but because she could eat and drink for free in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.
Shu Yao was very helpless about Banxia, so he simply didn't care about her anymore, and only lowered his head and wrote his plan. Since the Wu family's property can't be taken all, it is better to let the people of the second prince check it carefully, and get the more valuable part in their hands.
As for the replacement of the imperial merchant, Shu Yao does have his own ideas, but it is only a prototype, it is okay to write it on paper and show it to Li Weijin, if he thinks it is feasible, he will improve it himself, she doesn't want to worry about everything to the end.
It's just a rough plan, Shu Yao wrote it very quickly, and when she was about to finish it, Zi Su came to call her for dinner. Because of what Zisu was angry about yesterday, Shu Yao tried hard to adjust her work and rest habits, even if she was only almost finished, she didn't let Zisu wait longer, and obediently went to eat with Zisu. As for the few pieces of paper, she casually pressed them with a book, and continued when she returned.
Zi Su saw that Shu Yao cooperated like this for the first time, and his face was much better. "If Miss could follow Dr. Han's medical advice, this disease would have been cured for the most part, and she would not have to wear a spring shirt in summer. ”
"But Dr. Han's ban is too much, I," Shu Yao blinked his big eyes and looked at Zisu, wanting to say if he could be lenient, but seeing Zisu's serious expression, he swallowed back before he could say anything.
"It's about Miss's body, and Shiso doesn't dare to discount it. Shu Yao saw that Zi Su had a straight face, and she didn't dare to continue to bargain, Zi Su had been indulgent enough to her before, but when Dr. Han re-examined, she could see at a glance that it was her maids who were embarrassed.
After eating, Shu Yao quickly finished the work in his hand, and then took out the exercise book and pondered it carefully, the mantra that had been silently recited more than a hundred times was about to be chewed by her, and Shu Yao didn't feel the slightest internal breath in the dantian.
This made Shu Yao very frustrated, is she really not suitable for practicing martial arts? It's okay if she doesn't have the book in front of her, but now she can't learn the top-grade internal skills, which makes her very unwilling.
In the evening, when Ye Yi came to pick up the plan written by Shu Yao, of course Shu Yao had to ask himself what was wrong, "How long does it take for ordinary people to meditate before they can feel the inner breath?"
"If it's the right way, it's an hour at most. Yeyi's answer made Shu Yao very frustrated, and she sat quietly for at least five or six hours.
"I've been practicing for two days, why don't I have any internal breath?" Unless she is sure that she really can't practice martial arts, Shu Yao won't be reconciled, even if her physique can't practice internal strength, she can always learn foreign moves.
"Did Miss Ye not strictly follow what she said?" Ye Yi has never seen this situation, except for people who are unable to pass through the meridians, there are very few people who can't practice such a high-quality exercise.
So Shu Jiao talked about the process of his practice again, and after listening to it at night, he didn't find anything wrong, "Miss Ye, I don't mean to offend, I don't know if you mind if I take your pulse?" )
