"Bingde, that matter should be dealt with, right? The emperor doesn't want to delay until the New Year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Qiao Jianyu suddenly said to Shen Bingde.

"Alright. Shen Bingde nodded, indicating that it had been dealt with before the year.

"Well, that's good. After Qiao Jianyu finished speaking, he got up, bowed to Shen Shenyin, and said, "Prime Minister, it's inconvenient to bother today, there are other mansions to go." The Prime Minister also has other guests, so I'm afraid I've already made an appointment and are waiting. ”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Shen Shenyin also got up, and then everyone got up, ready to send Qiao Jianyu, Shen Shenyin said, "Little Hou Ye can ask me for advice if you have something in the future, you are not familiar with life in the capital, what do you need, I naturally have to help as a senior." ”

Shen Anyan's eyes flashed, sure enough, Qiao Jianyu has his own set of communicating with others, and his own set is really easy to use, just a chance to get along with Shen Shenyin, so he climbed to the prime minister of the dynasty, it is estimated that it took a lot of effort to make Shen Shenyin like him now.

"Thank you, Lord Shen!" Qiao Jianyu said with a smile, the smile on his face was bright, his complexion was jade-white, and his elegant temperament was so elegant and graceful that Shen Qianrong on the side was simply staring at him.

Qiao Jianyu smiled at Shen Bingde, and then turned his head to glance at Shen Anyan, before Shen Anyan could catch it, Qiao Jianyu had already turned his head back, and left as soon as he retreated.

Shen Shenyin said to Shen Bingde: "Bingde, you go and send the Hou Ye." ”

"Yes. Shen Bingde leaned over slightly, led the way for Qiao Jianyu, and sent him out of the Shen Mansion.

The backs of the two disappeared at the gate of the main hall, and Shen Anyan's eyes kept following the two, and the two walked farther and farther away, not knowing what they were talking about, and they talked happily.

It seems that even Shen Shenyin knows that the two are friends, but Shen Shenyin didn't tell Shen Anyan.

What kind of calculation is this?

What Shen Anyan didn't know was that Shen Shenyin knew that there was something wrong between Shen Anyan and Qiao Jianyu, how could Shen Shenyin, who had gotten along a few times before, not see it, since Qiao Jianyu and Shen Anyan didn't like each other, then Shen Anyan definitely didn't want her own brother to associate with this kind of person, as the saying goes, if you don't like a person, he will have shortcomings everywhere. Shen Bingde is young now, if Shen Anyan's influence on Shen Bingde is too huge, and he continues to command Shen Bingde's life path, then one day, Shen Bingde will be more and more honored by Shen Anyan, and be controlled by Shen Anyan, Shen Anyan said that one is one, and said that two is two, he doesn't want Shen Anyan to use Shen Bingde's identity to control behind Shen Bingde's back, and fight for power and property in Shen Mansion, and then Shen Mansion will be controlled by a daughter's family, which is a situation that he Shen Shenyin will never allow to appear. Shen Bingde is young now, he cares about family affection, and Shen Anyan is too smart and mature, Shen Anyan is a boudoir woman, so she can't do anything, but Shen Bingde has an identity, Shen Anyan knows how to play with power at a young age, if she and Shen Bingde join forces to fight for a goal together, Shen Anyan as the mastermind, sooner or later, the two will disturb the seemingly calm layer of water in the political arena, and finally take power.

It's not impossible, at the beginning, Shen Shenyin was also thinking, why did Shen Anyan do that, and what was the benefit to Shen Anyan, but now Shen Shenyin knew that Shen Anyan was trying to cultivate forces to help Yin Chenlang and assist Yin Chenlang.

Shen Bingde's current choice made Shen Shenyin very satisfied, and he didn't go stupidly to help Yin Chenlang because of Shen Anyan, but over time, it was difficult to ensure that Shen Bingde would not be used by Shen Anyan.

Therefore, Shen Shenyin hopes that Shen Anyan can participate less in Shen Bingde's affairs in the political arena, which will harm the future of Shen Bingde, a good boy, and give Yin Chenlang a funeral. Of course, Shen Bingde is also related to the honor and future of the Shen Mansion, and he is also thinking about the Shen Mansion.

It's not that Yin Chenlang doesn't have the possibility of winning the heir, in short, the two of them are equal, who is right, this is the same as walking on a single-plank bridge on a mountain cliff, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not fall and die miserably.

"Master, madam, the carriage of the Lin Mansion has stopped at the door. Steward Qi came in and said.

"Come on in. Yeqiu Ni said.

Shen Qinghan's body was stunned, his expression was surprised, and his eyes looked at the door of the main hall warmly, as if he desperately hoped to see Lin Xiuye.

The people from the Lin Mansion came in and served a new cup of tea and some snacks.

As soon as the people of the Lin Mansion came in, they were enviable.

Like the Shangshu of the Household Department of the Lin Mansion and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department of the Jiang Mansion, they are all good friends with Shen Shenyin and their fathers, so the wives of these mansions also have a good relationship, and Jiang Xuefan and Shen Lingyang are even better friends.

Lin Huaineng followed behind, came in and saw Shen Anyan first, and gave Shen Anyan a face, Shen Anyan nodded, it was considered a reply.

"Hello Lord Lin. Shen Shenyin opened his mouth and laughed twice, and smiled at Lin Zhifeng.

came with Lin Zhifeng, as well as his cousin Lin Zhihong.

"Hello Lord Shen. Lin Zhifeng smiled, pulled Lin Zhihong over, and introduced, "This is my cousin, I don't know if Lord Shen still remembers." ”

At this time of year, Lin Zhifeng and Lin Zhihong greet the New Year together, how could Shen Shenyin not remember.

"Remember, of course I know, the forester is good. Shen Shenyin smiled, then pointed to the seat, "Come, let's sit down and talk." ”

Because Lin Zhihong is in business, he can't get an official position, and as an imperial businessman, it doesn't matter to Lin Zhihong whether he can get an official position.

The children of the Shen Mansion and the Lin Mansion all bowed and greeted each other before sitting down quietly.

"Lord Shen, I came to pay New Year's greetings today, and I prepared a thin gift. Lin Zhihong said.

Shen Shenyin's eyes flashed, and then he smiled: "The forester is really polite. ”

Lin Zhihong clapped his hands, the family of the Lin Mansion brought up a few boxes, the boxes were neatly placed in the center of the main hall, Lin Zhifeng ordered them to open them, and the boxes were opened, and they were full of rare treasures, dazzling.

This made everyone stunned, Lin Zhihong really broke the bill this time.

Shen Anyan couldn't help but sigh, there were so many people who gave gifts to Shen Shenyin, it was really unimaginable how rich the Prime Minister's Mansion was.

"What are the foresters doing, it's really a waste of money. As soon as Shen Shenyin saw these things, he knew that this was not a simple gift, but it must also have a purpose and something to ask for.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhihong was not in a hurry, and continued to say slowly: "There are also some red envelopes, which are prepared for the daughters of the Shen Mansion." ”

Lin Zhihong said, walked up to the maidservant, followed by the four little servants with red envelopes, and handed out red envelopes one by one, red envelopes embroidered with gold and silver threads, which were fine fabrics, holding gems and pearls, and holding them in their hands heavily.

From Shen Lingyang and Shen Changbi, to Shen Weijie and Shen Anyan, then Shen Qinghan and Shen Yingqing, Shen Tianrong and Shen Yalan, the two maidservants stood aside.

Shen Anyan took the red envelope with a smile and weighed the weight with her hand, when she first got it, she almost couldn't hold it with one hand, I am afraid that it was about twenty or thirty taels.

Everyone is twenty or thirty taels of silver, and the eight young ladies of the Shen Mansion are about two hundred taels, which is really generous.

"Lord Shen, this matter is like this, now you need to buy medicinal materials, the previous pharmacist was a good family, but the heirs of the older generation got sick, and the heirs of this generation began to take care of things, and they didn't know anything, and the family also fiddled with Wenmo, I think this is probably going to be a problem. Lin Zhihong spoke very directly, and immediately said what he meant.

Shen Shen agreed, nodded, and asked, "So, Lin Yuanwai wants to change the medicine dealer?" But as far as I know, Lin Yuanwai doesn't seem to sell medicinal herbs. ”

The heir of the new generation is not saying anything, but he is obsessed with book knowledge, whether it is temperament or heart, thought or appearance, all like a scholar, the family just has money, for him to read, cultivate sentiment, I didn't expect this child to like it, the old heir is not angry, with him, I didn't expect the old heir to be sick when he said that he was sick, and he couldn't afford to be sick, and the family used the best medicine in the world to hang a life, but he was absolutely powerless to help take care of the family history.

The new heir shouldered the burden, but he had no intention of doing so.

If you want him to be an official, this is not good, because the son of a businessman cannot be an official, so the official career has been strictly closed to him, but he still likes to read, likes to discuss state affairs and the current situation, and has nothing to write a poem, and can amaze the world.

But there are no exceptions, with the first exception, there will be more exceptions, he wants to be a servant, serve the country, and worry about the king, which is almost impossible in his life.

"Here's the thing, I've opened a pharmacy in the capital now, and it's quite prosperous. Lin Zhihong explained, paused, and said, "So I do have this capital, and this pharmacy is definitely one of the largest pharmacy stores in the capital." ”

Shen Shenyin nodded, "As long as these conditions are passed, it will be much better." But there is another point, their family has been a medicine merchant for generations, and the foundation has been for a hundred years. In addition, they sell drugs to the royal family, and they have been royal pharmacists for decades, I am afraid that they have a deep affection for the royal family, and the royal family also trusts them very much, and they also have a very tacit understanding with the Tai Hospital, and they cooperate well, I am afraid that it is really not easy to replace them. ”

"What the Prime Minister said is exactly what I said, and I know that this is a difficult thing. Lin Zhihong said, "However, I sell grain and cloth to the inner court, these are huge consumables, and they are also the most daily, so I can be said to be one of the largest imperial merchants, and replacing him as the new medicine emperor merchant is definitely more than enough in terms of qualifications." ”

Shen Shen was stunned and asked: "However, the procurement of materials required by the palace and the government is all handled by the household department, so it's useless to tell me." ”

After Shen Shenyin finished speaking, Lin Zhifeng smiled and said: "There is an unusual mutual trust relationship between merchants and the feudal government; the government uses imperial merchants as a tool for the government to implement fiscal policies and provide military salaries, but if it is too big, it is difficult to ensure that it will not be suppressed. ”

Lin Zhifeng's meaning, all the people present who listened carefully understood, Lin Zhihong was in charge of the food and clothing of the palace, which was already the two largest parts, if he could still win the qualification for the supply of medicinal materials now, he would undoubtedly be the largest family and become the largest imperial businessman.

The imperial merchant is managed by the household department, and Lin Zhifeng, the secretary of the household department, lives in the same house with Lin Zhihong, supports each other, and has a blood relationship with relatives, so the two basically monopolize the market, and the Lin family will become the richest individual.

"So...... Do you want me to suggest?" asked Shen Shenyin.

If this matter is operated by the prime minister, it is very simple, first arrange a person to fold, the prime minister is an official who assists the emperor's prime minister and a hundred politics, this matter is naturally Zhu Zhu criticized the sentence "can", so that the emperor was given the first impression, and then brought it to the emperor for trial, but it was not raised by himself, and the emperor's vigilance will not be so heavy, after all, it is only a relationship of business and sale, and it can't make any big waves.

Shen Shenyin is also one of them, so he naturally knows how to operate.

Shen Anyan smiled, at the beginning, the businessman who was affiliated with the household department to purchase various materials for the royal court was called "imperial businessman". These people often rely on the power to bully people in various places, dominate the market, and the incidents of "borrowing money to burden the people" are endless, and incidentally they are also dissatisfied with the royal family. Therefore, after the emperors of the past dynasties had certain restrictions on the power of the imperial merchants, not to let if an imperial merchant is too powerful, managing the medicinal materials and food of the imperial court, and even when there is cloth, it will be a monopoly, the royal family wants to find a new person to replace, and it is impossible to find three qualified imperial merchants at one time, after all, the requirements for the financial resources and strength of the imperial merchants are very high, and the important thing is that it will take a long time to verify the innocence, whether the family background is innocent, whether it is trustworthy, in case of letting people who cannot be trusted or some people who are willing to harm others for a small favor become an imperial businessman, it will be very troublesome, I don't know when poisonous food was sent to the court.

After that, the Great Zhou Dynasty changed, the number of imperial merchants became larger, and there were many imperial merchants to choose from, if this did not work, there would be the next imperial merchant who was found in advance, and these merchants were often financially powerful, influential in the market, and had a clean family background. The royal family will prepare many such royal merchants in advance to meet their status, in case of emergency, they can be replaced at any time. What is their use when they are not in charge of the grain, cloth, or medicinal herbs of the inner court? Sometimes, when the supply of food and salaries in the imperial court is insufficient, they will rely on the power of the merchants, get their support, and give them a certain degree of benefit.

In this way, these potential "imperial merchants" can be retained.

In this way, the main merchant factions developed.

Although the emperor has already had a way to deal with the dominance of the imperial merchant family, no one wants to make trouble for himself, if it is a trouble that can be avoided from the beginning, why should he ask for hardship? Lin Zhihong, the imperial businessman, does not mean that he can change it, who is behind Lin Zhihong, Lin Zhifeng, Lin Zhifeng, Lin Zhifeng, Lin Zhifeng, who is responsible for selecting the imperial merchants and managing the imperial merchants and the imperial merchants' procurement.

This kind of power is intertwined, and it is even more troublesome.

Regardless of whether the Lin family has this calculation or not, whether they will join forces to control Da Zhou's finances in the future, the emperor will definitely hope to prevent it from happening. (To be continued.) )
