When Qian Yi heard this, the smile on his face gradually dissipated, he got up and walked to the opposite desk and sat down, stretched out his hand to tidy up his messy clothes, and said slowly: "Xiangye is a minister, and the meaning of the saint is the meaning of Xiangye." ”

"Okay, good!" The middle-aged man realized that the situation had changed since the moment Qian Yi restrained his smile, but after he really heard the other party's words, he was still angry!

The middle-aged man stared at Qian Yi with round eyes and scolded in a low voice: "Qian Yi, don't forget who you are!"

When Qian Yi heard this, he squinted at the other party, and replied in a cold tone: "I don't need you to remind me who I am!"

When the middle-aged man saw this, he was speechless for a while, his face turned red, and he was about to have a seizure, but when he remembered the instructions of his family, he had to suppress his anger, and said helplessly: "Kaiyang, how tricky this thing is, you also know it, we don't mind whether to levy business taxes or not, and the big family is not bad for those children!"

Middle-aged people are not stupid people, even if people all over the world will oppose such a thing, but those who will benefit from it will never object!

Among these people, the emperor is counted as one, and those competent prime ministers are naturally counted as one!

Although I don't know why Li Linfu, who has always been treacherous, wants to be a good official this time, but now that they have a request for others, they can't care about this. And they also took the initiative to give up some demands, just to prevent the establishment of the city, anyway, their current business of these maritime families has been transformed into maritime trade and related industries that are inseparable from maritime trade.

Those tax cards on land have little to do with them, and besides, they really don't care about that money!

But the city is different!

If this Zou Run said that the city shipping division is really established, then all maritime trade will be included in the jurisdiction of this yamen, and collecting some taxes and fees is a trivial matter, the key is that once the yamen is established, this yamen will become a sharp blade hanging over the heads of their maritime merchant families, and I am afraid that this feeling of being subject to people will not be willing to accept as long as a normal person is afraid.

"But that Rausch City Boss must not let it be set up! Otherwise, we will become meat on the chopping board and be slaughtered!" said the middle-aged man indignantly.

"Alas!" Qian Yi saw that the other party took a step back, and it was not good to make a tough expression, and after sighing, he said quietly: "Big brother, where would I not know what you said!"

"I, Qian Yi, am a member of the Qian clan, and the family's affairs are my business!" Anyway, there is no need to pay taxes to brag, for this master who sent himself out to be a spy, his Qian Yi's previous pride in the family has long since dissipated, and all that remains is Mo Ran, a group of strangers!

"However, this matter is not something that Xiangye can control alone!" Sure enough, after a while, Qian Yi changed his words and said.

"Zou Run's excerpt on the morning of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, just a few hours after the Great Dynasty Meeting, the Political Affairs Hall made it clear to the world, don't you understand what this means, big brother?" Qian Yi asked slowly.

"Alas, how could I not know that this is a holy judgment, but it is just ......," the middle-aged man said helplessly.

Since the maritime merchant families in the south received a copy of Zou Run's fold issued by the imperial court, they have sent people to gather in Yangzhou to find out the tone of these big maritime merchant families in Yangzhou.

It's just that the families in Yangzhou have long noticed the abnormality from the unusual efficiency of the political affairs hall.

Without the nod of Emperor Xuanzong, it would have been impossible for this recital to be made known to the world so quickly!

This was the unanimous conclusion reached by the families of Yangzhou, and it was precisely this conclusion that made them panic for a while! If Emperor Xuanzong was bent on setting up this city, they would have no way to oppose it!

The establishment of a new yamen means that there will be many more official positions, which is undoubtedly a great news for those scholars who have been in the examination for many years and are still stranded in the capital, as well as those officials who have only received a fictitious position but have not been awarded!

In addition, the reason for these maritime families to stop this matter is too pale! There is no justification at all!

It is only natural that you have to collect taxes to do business!

Of course, the most important thing is that the establishment of the City Ship Division is dispensable for the northern giants, and has little impact, once Emperor Xuanzong decides to set up the City Ship Division, these northern giants will definitely not risk angering the emperor to oppose it, and if these people can't be mixed together to resist together, their strength alone is absolutely unable to fight against the supreme imperial power!

The time and place are favorable, and none of them are on their side, how can you let these maritime families not be in a hurry!

"That's why my family asked me to come to the capital to see Xiang Ye and see if Xiang Ye can give us an idea!" the middle-aged man said, and then looked at Qian Yi with expectant eyes again.

"Alas, I also know that it is difficult in the family this time, but Xiang Ye also has Xiang Ye's difficulties! If the Holy Lord has an idea, Xiang Ye can't resist and disobey the order!" Qian Yi said to the middle-aged man with a serious look.

"That'...... How good is that!" When the middle-aged man heard this, his shoulders immediately collapsed, and he drooped his head and said dejectedly.

It's just that the corner of the middle-aged man's eyes has been staring at Qian Yi on the other side, he is not a three-year-old child, Qian Yi's words today have obvious shirk, although Li Linfu is the right minister, but the relationship between them and these people, broken bones and tendons, he doesn't believe that the other party really dares to ignore it.

"The hearts of Yangzhou people are all here in Xiangye! If this is mixed with sand by others, this ...... How good is this!" The middle-aged man lowered his head and muttered to himself.

Sure enough, after the middle-aged man said this, the corners of Qian Yi's mouth on the opposite side twitched slightly.

Then I heard Qian Yi say, "Big brother, why don't you do this!"

"Kaiyang, you say!" The middle-aged man raised his head suddenly when he heard this, his eyes were shining, and he looked at Qian Yi with anticipation, and couldn't wait to say.

Qian Yi was silent for a moment, and then spoke again: "Big brother, since we don't care about the money that increases the commercial tax, it is better to give it up, and vigorously support this article during the court discussion, so that the saint can see that we are sincere, and then skip the city department, and make it clear that the power to collect taxes and manage sea trade will still be handed over to the household department, and the officials who want to come to the household department will never object." ”

"Kaiyang, you mean, let's give up some benefits in exchange for the support of the household department?" the middle-aged man asked.

Qian Yi nodded, and replied slowly: "Actually, the Holy Lord just wants to collect more taxes and make some money to spend it! As for who will collect it, presumably his old man will not care about this little thing! In addition, this so-called city division is only a yamen imagined by Zou Run alone after all, and if he really wants to add such a yamen, there are too many people involved!" You also know that those big officials in the imperial court would rather seek no fault than merit, as long as we make them aware of the risks that may be encountered in setting up this yamen, these big officials will not agree lightly!"

The middle-aged man listened carefully, and said as he listened: "That's right!"

"Haha, it's worthy of the unparalleled Mr. Kaiyang!" the middle-aged man laughed and exclaimed.

"Okay! Time is pressing, Kaiyang, I will stay soon, so I will contact them!" After speaking, the middle-aged man stood up and bowed goodbye to Qian Yi.

Seeing this, Qian Yi also stood up and sent him off.

After Qian Yi sent the middle-aged man out of Li Linfu's mansion, he immediately turned around and walked towards Li Linfu's study.

In the study, Li Linfu was lying on the couch, his forehead covered with a wet towel stained with a strange fragrance, his eyes were closed leisurely, and his expression was rare and relaxed.

"Gone?" After Qian Yi quietly entered the study and stood still for a while, he heard Li Linfu on the couch ask.

Although Li Linfu still closed his eyes, Qian Yi still nodded, and replied respectfully: "Let's go!"

"Kaiyang, this time I did this, will you think that I Li Linfu is ungrateful?" Li Linfu then said faintly.

Qian Yi didn't panic in the slightest after hearing this, and even smiled slightly at the same time as the cousin who was in the study just now, and replied: "As a former ruler, it is Xiangye's duty to worry about the world and obey the holy will!"

"Duty, good duty!" Li Linfu still didn't open his eyes, but muttered: "It's such a simple duty, how many people in the world can do it?"

Qian Yi didn't answer, and after a while, there was silence in the study.

However, he said that the middle-aged man who had just come out of Li Linfu's mansion, after boarding the carriage at the door, just said to the coachman: "Go to Yang Zhao's mansion!"

After that, he said nothing.

It's just that the faint sneer on the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth can still see that his inner feelings are not as calm as they seem.

"Hmph! Qian Kaiyang, Qian Kaiyang, do you treat Lao Tzu as a three-year-old doll? It seems that after staying in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time, you really regard yourself as a dog of Li Linfu!"

"Since you have forgotten the glory of the Jiangdong Qian clan, then don't blame me for being unjust!"

The middle-aged man sneered in his heart.

The carriage drove slowly on the wide road of Chang'an City.

Since Yang Yuhuan was officially canonized as a concubine in August, the Yang family in Chang'an has moved into the mansion given by the Holy Lord.

Among them, Yang Yuhuan's third brother Yang Zhao Yang Guozhong's house is in a large mansion near Qujiangchi.

From Li Linfu's mansion to Yang Guozhong's mansion, he had to pass through most of Chang'an City, and the middle-aged man did not urge the coachman, so he also wanted to take this time to think about how to talk about Yang Guozhong, a rogue uncle.

It's just that the middle-aged man never expected that when he was leisurely strolling around Chang'an City, a person had already rushed to the Yang Mansion in Qujiangchi one step ahead of him......
