This night, Shen Liancheng and Shen Kuo didn't dare to sleep. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

Shen Liancheng sent Yuhe out to inquire about the Wang family's business, but the answer he got was, "The Wang family has never been contaminated with salt from beginning to end." The only strange thing is that many of the Wang family's shops have been resold recently, and many properties have also been mortgaged and exchanged for cash. People in the palace said that the Wang family's money for business could not be turned, and if there was a big problem, it would fail.

"It can't be." Others don't know, can Shen Liancheng still know? As long as Shen Ruxiu is there and the Wang family does business, there will be no bad ones. She is so "able to pinch and calculate", as long as she hopes that the Wang family will continue to be good, then it will always be good.

Unless, she also wants to reconcile with Wang Chongjing! How is this possible?

Since this is impossible, then, if something is unusual, there must be a demon.

The Wang family, what do you need so much cash for?

"Hoarding salt...... Shen Liancheng just had an idea, muttered, and the porter outside took a post.

"Son-in-law, this is a gift from the second lady."

Shen Ruxiu came to the door?

Shen Liancheng hurriedly took the post and found that it was Shen Ruxiu's invitation. She invited her to come home tomorrow for tea.

"Grandfather," Shen Liancheng put together the post and asked Shen Kuo, "If someone spends money to buy all the salt from salt merchants everywhere and then sells it at a high price, may he be punished?" ”

"It can't be cured." Buying and selling is a matter of talking about money, and no one is allowed to buy all the salt. However, Shen Kuo's eyes still widened, and he asked, "Aman, what do you mean by this?" Mo Dao is the Wang family sold all the shops, transferred all the properties, and mortgaged it for cash, just to hoard salt, and then the price of strange goods started? ”

Shen Liancheng nodded, "It's possible." ”

She suddenly felt that Da Zhou's legal system was lacking. For example, salt, which is indispensable to the people, should have a maximum price.

"There are people who seek such ill-gotten gains!" Shen Kuo was upright by nature, and when he heard that such a thing might happen, he couldn't help but feel angry.

Shen Liancheng was thinking, since Shen Ruxiu invited her to drink tea at this time, it means that this matter is related to her.

Presumably, she didn't want to make a lot of ill-gotten wealth for the Wang family, but had other purposes.

The next day, Shen Liancheng got up early in the morning, freshened up, and prepared to go to the palace for tea.

Before going to the palace, she deliberately went to the salt market to take a look around and found that the price of salt today had indeed doubled yesterday. If this continues, it will not be long before this salt will be sold not by the pound, but by two, or even by spoonful.

If it really comes to that point, and the poor people can't afford to eat salt, the imperial court should intervene, right?

Shen Liancheng really couldn't figure it out, if this was really Shen Ruxiu's doing, then what else did she do besides making money?

If you guess anything, it's better to meet and ask in person. Soon, she came to the palace.

Wang Chongjing was not at home, Shen Ruxiu made tea and waited, and when she saw Shen Liancheng, she pretended to be enthusiastic and smiled: "You are here." Subsequently, she instructed Qian'e to serve tea to Shen Liancheng.

I don't know why, seeing Shen Liancheng again, Qian'e still has some bad feelings in her heart. After all, Shen Liancheng was her first master in the Shen family. She had served her well, and she liked her, and she was just a little short of being a slave to her close servants.

However, Shen Liancheng looked at her, but he had no extra feelings. She took a sip of tea and asked Shen Ruxiu directly: "Are you hoarding salt, so that there is no salt to sell everywhere?" ”

When Shen Ruxiu heard this, she immediately laughed, "Do you think I have so much money and can buy so much salt from all over the world?" Hehe, you really think highly of me. Take a Kyoto city as an example, the merchants and magnates who hoard salt are not only our royal family. ”

Kyoto's magnates and merchants are stockpiling salt? Want to make a lot of money out of it? The same is true across the country?

"You're the devil you're making trouble with?" Shen Liancheng wanted to confirm this.

"I'm just letting everyone know a way to make money." Shen Ruxiu laughed, "Presumably, every year in the future, someone will do this." Not only salt, but also rice, but whatever the people had to use, they could do so. ”

"You, why are you pushing for this?" Shen Liancheng didn't believe that Shen Ruxiu was just trying to make money.

"Why don't I do it?" Shen Ruxiu asked funny.

"What other benefits do you get besides earning a lot of money?" Shen Liancheng looked at her directly, and his gaze did not wander for a moment.

Seeing the ease and smugness in Shen Ruxiu's eyes, she felt very embarrassed.

"In case the people get sick because they have no salt to eat, can you stay out of it?" Although Shen Ruxiu didn't smile, the smile in her eyes became more and more intense, and she couldn't hide it.

Her appearance is really no different from when Shen Li'er was named Mrs. Pian by the Son of Heaven and gave Li Ji as his wife. That kind of pride, that kind of ambition will be won...... In the end, in the past and this life, is it the same person?

Shen Liancheng sneered, "It's not me, it's the Son of Heaven, all the civil and military officials who love the people." ”

"Didn't I say it before I went head?" Shen Ruxiu didn't think so, and finally couldn't help laughing, "Not only my Wang family, but also many other families, everyone has a share in the many officials of the Marquis Wucheng Mansion, the Han family, and the Liuguan Mansion, even your ex-husband's family, and the third uncle's family, and there is no less hoarding." ”

The Founding County Mansion has a flat wife, Shen Lian'er, Shen Liancheng can understand, but the third uncle actually did this kind of thing! Aren't you afraid that your grandfather will be angry if he finds out?

"The more officials with clean sleeves, the more they will hoard some. Just pointing to a few bags of salt, improve the dilemma of life, right? Shen Ruxiu smiled even more proudly. Do you think that in the end, the Son of Heaven will harm the interests of such people, or will he offend his own civil and military virtuous ministers in order to protect those poor people who can't even afford to eat salt? ”

Who is the Son of Heaven Yu Wenlie? The one who will weigh the pros and cons the most. What directly supports him are civil and military officials, and what are the "small part" of the people who are so poor that they can't even afford to eat salt?

If this matter continues to ferment, what kind of scene it will be, Shen Liancheng completely expected.

"Then you play slowly." She pretended to be unconcerned, cold-blooded and ruthless, and never showed righteous indignation, which made Shen Ruxiu happy.

Sure enough, Shen Ruxiu was a little anxious when she saw her attitude. She was surprised and provocative: "What? If this is a game I set up against you, aren't you going to break it? ”

"What does it have to do with me?" Shen Liancheng hooked the corners of his lips, "Could it be that I am the one who can't afford to eat salt?" ”

With that, she got up and left tastelessly.

Shen Ruxiu's brows were deeply locked, and she muttered, "Impossible, it's impossible for her not to go to her heart." ”

After thinking about it, she still affirmed her judgment and smiled again. At least, grandfather won't stay out of it. Then, Shen Aman will not not interfere in it. (To be continued.) )
