The word "again" is used to describe Yu Wenheng's greed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Huo Xiao sneered: "He has always regarded the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion as his own, how can he be polite." ”

The greater the ambition, the more money needs to be spent, and Emperor Yongtai did not give too much property to the princes of the Kaifu.

First, he didn't want to pay for his son to cultivate forces to oppose him.

The second is to exercise the abilities of his sons. If you really want to earn money with your own skills, it is understandable to develop your power.

is like the eldest prince, his grandfather's family is an imperial businessman, and he will never lose money in terms of money.

Just like Yu Wenheng in the past, it has become a habit to take 108,000 yuan from Cheng Enhou every year.

In the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, whether it is a deception or coaxing, it can be regarded as a skill to get money from a foreign family.

Of course, the premise is that the money must come from the right source, and not obtained by corruption, otherwise it will not be a matter of tearing down the east wall of the royal family and making up the western wall of the royal family?

Doudou sneered: "My grandfather gave me Yunni Villa, which can be regarded as cutting off one of his financial routes, this time His Majesty the Emperor sent him to Jiangxi on an errand, but let him find an opportunity again!"

He is not afraid of silver burning his hands...... The Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion is really a treasure land of feng shui, and it has raised such a promising daughter and grandson as Pei Tingyu's mother and son, sooner or later the whole family will be killed by them one day!"

This is really not alarmist, Pei Tingyu dyed the hat of His Majesty the Emperor green, Yu Wenheng has the idea of starting to inject salt, this mother and son really can't wait for the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion to die quickly!

Huo Xiao put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, the Great Zhou Dynasty is not the previous dynasty, and it is not so easy for the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion to help him in this matter." ”

He and Doudou talked about the draft system of the previous dynasty before, and both of them thought that the reason why the previous dynasty embarked on the road of destruction was inseparable from the absurdity and lust of the kings of previous dynasties.

That's just one of the reasons.

Another important reason is the collapse of the economy.

In the early years of the previous dynasty, in order to encourage merchants to transport grain to Biansai in exchange for salt, some measures were introduced.

For example, depending on the distance of the grain transported, a small salt lead can be exchanged for one to five stone of grain.

Later, with the change of the situation, the price of food, this system has undergone many changes.

Because the cost of long-distance transportation of grain is too high and the consumption is too great, some salt merchants simply hire laborers in the border areas to reclaim the fields to produce grain, and exchange them for salt in the vicinity.

With the passage of time, this system became a system in which merchants used silver in exchange for grain, and the state's fiscal revenue increased dramatically, while the grain in the border areas decreased sharply, and the border army was hungry for almost half of the year, and the military strength of the previous dynasty was also declining.

In the last years of the previous dynasty, the position of salt introduction became more important, and it became one of the means of the government to make money on a large scale.

There were countless salt merchants in various state capitals, and the former government household department printed a large number of salt quotations in order to replenish the national treasury, which eventually led to the flood of salt quotations, and the entire country's economy was on the verge of collapse.

After the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, successive emperors have profoundly learned the lessons of the previous dynasties.

The salt introduction is still issued by the household department, but there are a series of strict rules and regulations on how much to print and how to distribute it.

Even if the Pei family has been in control of the household department for decades, it is not so easy to use their hands and feet on the salt lead.

Don't look at the wealth and glory of the Marquis of Weiyuan, the wealth in his hands is countless, and the old Weiyuan Hou's grandfather, grandson, father and son never dare to come and go with the big salt merchants.

Moreover, the big salt merchants in various places also have the same hereditary status as the title, and there are so many positions in total, unless a certain family gives up the identity of the big salt merchant, or loses the heir, there will be a new salt merchant to replace it.

Giving up such a lucrative livelihood, unless the head of the family has a sick brain, the big salt merchants are rich and rival the country, and it is basically impossible to have an heir, so such cases are rare.

It is precisely because of this that the owner of Chen Zhuang said that he didn't know where the Yan family got the way to become a big salt merchant.

Doudou said: "I know it's not easy...... It's just that this Yan family also has the ability, and they can actually be a big salt merchant, and Nian Yige's business is so big, and he has never thought of getting involved in the salt business. ”

Huo Xiao said: "The Yan family's ability is naturally not small, so if Yu Wenheng wants to get the support of the Yan family in money, he will either get a larger share of the Yan family's salt introduction next year, or he will marry the Yan family."

We can't control the marriage, it's nothing more than one more concubine in the Second Prince's Mansion, but it's really hard to say about the share of salt introduction, after all, it's just to change the share instead of increasing the number of salt introductions, and it's not too much to do a little bit of tricks. ”

Doudou pouted: "Yu Wenheng is dreaming! Don't look at my great-grandfather so old, his brain is still very clear, without his consent, even Pei Tingyan, who now holds the real power of the household department, does not dare to make his own opinion." ”

Huo Xiao groaned: "Little lentil, your great-grandfather's mind is indeed clear, but don't forget that Yu Wenheng is his great-grandson after all, this bloodline can never be changed, others will only stand in line after waiting, for him, there is never only one choice." ”

Doudou pursed his lips, Huo Xiao's words did make sense.

Huo Xiao patted her on the shoulder again: "Don't think about it so much, let's follow Master Chen Zhuang to Yan's house tomorrow to see how Yu Wenheng calculates, if you can stir up, you can stir up, and if you can't stir up, you won't let Yu Wenheng feel better." ”

Doudou said: "Then in what capacity do you plan to follow Master Chen to the Yan family?"

Huo Xiao said with a smile: "It depends on the meaning of the little princess, if you want to sit and listen to the play and eat wine, let's pretend to be the son and nephew of the owner of Chen Zhuang and swagger to be a guest, if you want to make a mistake secretly, you can only pretend to be a coachman or a servant to sneak in." ”

Doudou screwed him: "Are you bullying this little princess and don't know it, what a great show and good wine are worth it When I missed the real excitement, I naturally mixed in, but it was just ......"

Huo Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Do you think that the second old man is not there, and no one will change your appearance for you?"

Without waiting for Doudou to nod, he took out a small box from his arms.

This box of beans is too familiar, exactly the same as the one in the hands of Fat Mai Sui'er and King Fu.

"Hey, so you're going to do this!" she snorted softly, and added, "Since you can, why did you let your grandfather do it before." ”

Huo Xiao said with a smile: "The second old man is willing to teach me everything, but this hand is always hidden." ”

Doudou said: "But I saw that Fat Mai Sui'er also had the same box in his hand." ”

Huo Xiao pouted and said, "That's what I said, the second old man is even willing to give instructions to the secret guards, but he just refuses to teach me." ”

Doudou thought so: "He is just stingy, and he promised to teach me before, but then he didn't dare to mention it again." ”

Huo Xiao said with a smile: "This little prince is a talent, and he can be self-taught without his teaching." ”

Doudou snorted and said, "It's starting to stink again, you shouldn't have stolen this box from his old man, right?"

Huo Xiao smiled: "That is, the technique can be self-taught, and I can't get these raw materials." ”

Doudou took the small box and stuffed it under the pillow, and leaned his little head on Huo Xiao's shoulder: "Let's hurry up and sleep, Ming'er will watch a good show!"
