The sky was quietly getting cold, and the promenade was facing Luoshui, which was a little more chilly than elsewhere. Because of this coldness, the corridor is quiet and silent, and it seems more and more cold.

Cui Mingde stood quietly on the corridor, staring into the distance, and did not speak for a long time.

Although most of Cui's family has moved to Xijing in his grandfather's generation, and there are ancestral halls and cemeteries in the suburbs, his grandfather's last words must be buried back in Qinghe, Cui Mingde knows that this is not only because of nostalgia for his homeland, but also because of the meaning of keeping his father away from the court and returning to his hometown. However, the father did not understand the deep meaning, and saw that the children had a very good future in the court, so he intended to change the plan left by his grandfather in front of him, and took advantage of his grandfather's funeral to have more contact with the people in the clan, and raised the patriarch's shelf, or openly or implicitly signaled to the clansmen who had ascended to the high position, so that they promoted their relatives more, and they also took the example as an example, and just inherited the title, they went to the door of Li Zhaode and walked around, wanting to make a few nephews prepare for Jingxian. Cui Mingde tactfully advised several times, but his father not only did not listen, but used big truths such as "boudoir fan" and "female rule" to restrain her, and the clan uncle Cui Xiu woke up straightforwardly, but his father blamed him for refusing to promote his children. Fortunately, although his father was confused, he never owed anything in filial piety, and when his grandfather's spiritual day was full, he should have personally set off to escort the coffin back to his hometown, so as not to drown the capital and disturb right and wrong.

It has been a while since his grandfather passed away, and Cui Mingde cried for a while, and now he finally no longer feels sad when he thinks of the deceased, but every time he thinks of his father, who has mediocre qualifications, he can't help frowning and sighing.

Even my father didn't know that my grandfather had the idea of changing the patriarch, but my grandfather's uncle Cui Xiu was far away and young, and his ancestors had never had a high-ranking official, so it was really difficult to convince the public.

Her grandfather, who had always doted on her and never regretted her daughter, only said the only thing on that occasion: "How good it would be if you were a man." ”

That was also the only time Cui Mingde grew up that he hated himself as a daughter.

Until now, these resentments have long been worn out by the years, but Cui Mingde still remembers the tired and lost look of his grandfather at that time, he worked for Cui's heart all his life, the millennium lintel passed to his hands, and finally came out of the decline of the tired leaves, the children gradually studied the imperial examination, entered the office, enjoyed a good reputation in the clear stream, and there was no lack of fame among the powerful, men and women married, all of them were high-ranking families, poor people, and also had the opportunity to get ahead, from Taizong to the present, the palace has become chaotic and complicated, and the prime minister has fought fiercely, Wang's, Li's Wei's, Xue's, The Zheng family and the Boling Cui family are quite tired and defeated, and they are in a state of collapse, but the Qinghe Cui family has only brought in a few young children, and they have not broken their muscles and bones - it is a pity that when they are old, they have no successors.

Cui Mingde closed his eyes, and he didn't open his eyes when he heard the deliberately aggravated footsteps behind him. The closer the footsteps became, the fragrance of the owner of the voice was elegant, but the words he said could not be called "indifferent": "You did it for the Taiping selling clothes?"

Cui Mingde opened his eyes and continued to look into the distance: "What sells clothes?"

Wei Huan took a deep breath: "You don't know?"

Cui Mingde shook his head: "I haven't seen her for more than a month." After a moment's hesitation, she asked, "What's the matter?" The princess, though often acting unexpectedly, knew that she would probably not surrender herself to such businessmen and disgrace herself unless she had some strange idea.

Wei Huan heard that it was not her, but deliberately showed some indignation: "She made a proposal to Your Majesty, saying that she would raise the military salary of 16,000 people in the frontier for the household department, and after Your Majesty agreed, she asked for the establishment of a 'state-owned commercial bank', saying that it would be managed by the imperial court, and all the money obtained would go to the local officials." His Majesty even agreed to her nonsense, and now he is tossing and turning in front of her, and he will be able to open his first shop this month. ”

Cui Mingde glanced at her: "The princess knows very well about the princess. "Although His Majesty is the heroine ascending the throne, he also acquiesces to the female officials in front of the palace and other government affairs, but he still divides the former dynasty and the harem very clearly, except for the emperor's assignment, everyone only knows their own affairs, such as setting up a business house and other small things, Princess Changle does not mention it, and the harem will never know in advance, not to mention that Wei Huan is deeper than himself, and has almost no contact with the previous dynasty.

Wei Huan chuckled and said, "Don't you know everything about Dugu Shao very well?"

Cui Mingde said lightly: "Everything I know is either from the official documents in the Taiwan Cabinet, or from Ashao himself. ”

Wei Huan pursed her lips unconsciously: "I asked the people around her for news, and she also knew." ”

Cui Mingde no longer mentioned it: "Set up a state-owned commercial bank? So in the future, will it be returned to the local official or... The Inner Court?"

Wei Huan said: "I didn't see the music... I haven't heard Taiping say it, and I don't know it yet. However, these people say that they are above board, but in fact, they are the most profit-seeing, if this business house has nothing to make money, it is fine, if there is really something to see, I am afraid that there will be a lot of disputes over the final ownership. ”

Cui Mingde nodded lightly: "If you can really do it well, it's a small bargain." ”

Wei Huan pouted and said: "Wu Chenghei wants to be the crown prince and wants to go crazy, in the past one or two years, when he saw the surname Li, he hated to kill him on the spot, Taiping earned so much fame for San Lang, he still doesn't know how to hate her, but in this matter, I haven't heard him mention a word, do you think this is a good thing?"

Cui Mingde said: "His grandfather started as a businessman, but when he came to himself, he looked down on his family's deeds - but I don't know that businessmen and crops are the same, it seems to be a cheap industry, but in fact they are the cornerstone of the country, if there is no people's crops, merchants and merchants, then where will the food and clothing of the Manchu Dynasty come from?

Wei Huan thoughtfully: "The court is controlled by the martial arts, and there are so many rules and regulations, if the Taiping intervenes in the pavilion from the beginning, it is really not easy, it is better to start from the place where their hands can't reach, such as in the army, such as... Shang Jia - you really didn't teach her?"

Cui Mingde said: "It's not me, but I know about who it is - you should know it too." ”

Wei Huan turned his head and thought for a while, looked in the direction of the Immortal Palace, and then looked at Cui Mingde: "So according to your intentions, her move may not be a faint move?"

Cui Mingde said: "I haven't seen all her plans, and I can't know for sure what the result is, but this matter is really not a big deal, one is that she is in the name of raising money for the country, although it is a businessman's business, there is always a righteous name, and then... She is a princess rather than a prince, although there are many constraints in participating in politics, but in other things, it is somewhat convenient. What's more, if this matter is really done well, it may not involve the Taiwan Cabinet. ”

Wei Huan looked at her: "Magistrate?"

Cui Mingde said: "Not only the local officials, but also the spring officials." ”

Wei Huan thought about it for a while and understood: "Chunguan is in charge of etiquette and righteousness, and the color of clothes and clothes is also in the etiquette system, in this regard, if this state-owned commercial house is handed over to Chunguan, it is not completely groundless." If this is done well, there will be twenty every year... No, the income of 100,000 guan is worth being a langzhong, if there can be more, even the waiter will have hot eyes - even if it is only 100,000 guan, this is not a tax, each has a clear account to check, it is really easy to deduct it, and then it will be handled layer by layer, from top to bottom, you will have to receive the benefit of this money, although there is not much, but the spring official is a cold yamen..." ”

Cui Mingde said: "If you only get 100,200,000, it is naturally this method, if it is more, it will naturally be different." Tens of thousands of guan can only raise one to twenty thousand soldiers, but hundreds of thousands of guan can support the soldiers of one state or even several states. She stopped, and subtly remembered that person, and at this moment, Wei Huan had already realized: "Since it is food, why can't it be returned to Xia Guan?"

Cui Mingde nodded: "The local officials, spring officials, and summer officials all have reasons, depending on Your Majesty's intentions, and since this matter starts with the princess, where she wants to return it, Your Majesty most still has to think about it." ”

Wei Huan chuckled: "I don't know if this thing can be done, if there is no such thing, it is great that she has given this matter by herself tens of thousands of yuan, that is, to sell some acres of manor and save money for a few years, with this matter, in the end, there is no income, and it makes people laugh!" If the clothes are good, it doesn't hurt to buy a few more, and he Wusheng Ren also said a word, and asked him and his colleagues to mention it a few more times - that's it, it's always weird for him to mention it, so let's bring a letter with my sister-in-law. Turning his head to look at Cui Mingde, he seemed to want to say something, looked at it, but held back, and only said: "When my aunt died, I was almost the same as you, so thin that I could faint when I walked, but in the end, it was my brother who was worried about being affected." I don't know if your brother is worried about you, but you occasionally think about Dugu Shao. ”

Cui Mingde was stunned: "Thank you." ”

Wei Huan said: "You don't have to thank me, if you want to thank you, thank Taiping-if it weren't for her, I wouldn't say a word to you." ”

Cui Mingde smiled lightly, glanced at her, and said for a while: "Although Princess Changle has a good temper, she is not a person who is at the mercy of others, you... Shape up or ship out. ”

After a long time, Wei Huan said: "Dugu Shao is not a person who is at the mercy of others, but you... will still force her to marry and have children. ”

Cui Mingde was silent. 166 Reading Network
