"Brother——, right now!"

"That'...... Yes! Wu Zheng had no choice but to ask people to call Mo Obsession.

Mo Zhinian hurriedly came in, and when he saw the three girls there, he was stunned and hurriedly saluted.

Wu Zheng said: "I bothered Mo Lao to go on this trip, I want to ask, how much silver is paid in a year in the Weaving Mansion under the Financial Secretary?" ”

Mo Zhinian hesitated for a moment, and replied: "It should be more than 1.2 million taels, the exact amount, and I have to go back to find the vouchers and account books to answer the prince." ”

Wu Zheng shook his hand and said, "No need. I'd like to ask about the approximate number. Mo Lao, if you want to double the tax in a year, to 2.4 million taels, is it feasible? ”

Mo Zhinian didn't understand Wu Zheng's intentions, and thought about it: "It is feasible but feasible, the government will order to expand the sericulture planting area and recruit more weavers and embroidery girls, which should reach the number that the prince said." However, if it is only because it has to double the tax, I am afraid that the gain will not outweigh the loss. ”

"Why?"

"If a lot of farmland is converted into mulberry fields, the grain harvest will fail. The weaver is good to say, but the embroidery girl is not easy to train, the prince must know that an embroidery girl from the age of thirteen into the industry, to twenty eyesight to turn to teach and train embroidery women, its weaving and embroidery career is only eight years, the longest is not more than twelve or three years. So...... Please also think twice. ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Mo Lao misunderstood, I don't mean to let the people change their farming." I'm just thinking that so many silks in the south of the Yangtze River are only sold to the north and merchants as materials, which is a big loss, and it just so happens that the little sisters are interested in picking up the weaving house, and they want to use the manpower of the weaving house to promote the mass output of clothing, and the price of the same silk and cloth can be doubled several times, or even more than a dozen times. This can not only drive the development of an industry, but also increase the added value of Jiangnan silk...... I want to hear what Mo Lao means. ”

Mo obsessively glanced at the third daughter in surprise, "What does the prince mean...... Lady and county gentleman to manage the weaving house? ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Yes." Just now they told me that as long as they take over, they can double the taxes paid by the weaving house in a year. ”

Mo Zhi smiled and said: "That dare is good!" It's just that...... At present, there are more than a dozen officials and hundreds of officials in the weaving mansion, and the prince means ......? ”

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said: "Those who are willing to continue to stay in the weaving mansion will be retained at the original level, and those who are unwilling to stay will be moved to various prefectures and counties according to their grades." ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng suddenly smiled and said: "Don't worry, there is nowhere to settle, there will be new prefectures and counties in the coming year, which will be under the rule of the Great General's Mansion." ”

Mo Zhinian smiled knowingly and said, "There are still many vacancies in various prefectures and counties, and it should be possible to resettle these people." Now that the prince has decided, let's do this. ”

Wu Zheng turned to Wu Xiaomei and said, "Little sister, brother gives you this chance, but a year later, if something goes wrong, you have to return the Weaving Mansion." When the time comes, don't blame your brother for not supporting you. ”

Wu Xiaomei happily responded: "Thank you, brother." ”

Wu Zheng chased, "Also, you don't have to rely on your two sisters-in-law for everything, you have to be assertive, and you must remember that upgrading, selecting a group of skilled craftsmen, and letting them continuously improve the clothing, this is the long-term way." ”

"Brother is really verbose, I remember." Wu Xiaomei pulled the second daughter and turned away.

Wu Zheng was stunned, daring to be affectionate, as soon as the matter was over, there would be no one waiting for this chicken soup.

Mo Zhi stepped forward empathetically and scooped the bowl for Wu Zheng and handed it over.

Wu Zheng took it and said with a wry smile: "It's almost eighteen, it's time to find her an in-law." ”

Mo Zhinian smiled and said: "The young talents in Jiangnan are like carp crossing the river, and it should not be difficult to choose a wishful man for the county." But...... This depends on the county monarch's own meaning, to say something that the prince doesn't like to hear, I'm afraid that once the matter of the weaving mansion is settled, the county monarch may not have the idea of marrying in the short term. ”

Wu Zheng said thoughtfully: "That's what I said." But then again, it's not good for a girl to marry too early. ”

Mo Zhi glanced at Wu Zheng strangely, and said, "The prince will be crowned after the New Year, and it's time to think about getting married." ”

Wu Zheng was stunned, frowned and pretended, "What? It's enough for my father to urge me, and Mo Lao also wants to get involved in my marriage? ”

Mo Zhinian sighed slightly, and quickly denied it: "I don't dare, it's just that the princess-to-be is already of marriageable age, and the prince must be cautious, after all, people are terrible." ”

Wu Zheng was stunned, and said with a smile: "It's okay, after a while, this king will give an order, but all the women in the provinces under his rule must be at least eighteen years old before they can get married." ”

Don't be stunned, this is too domineering, right? The law is that a girl who marries at the age of 14 and has not married at the age of 18 must be an official match.

Although it is true that Jiangnan girls marry two or three years later, they are generally married before the age of seventeen.

But Wu Zheng decided in one word, and even extended the marriageable age directly from the lower limit to the upper limit, which is obviously a chaotic fate.

However, Mo Zhinian did not object, because he thought of Qing'er, according to the current situation, it is obvious that Wu Zheng cannot change his mind in the short term, which means that Qing'er's marriage has to continue to be delayed.

If the government really delays the marriageable age of women, this will make the Mo family face acceptable.

Thinking of this, Mo Zhi smiled and said, "The prince is wise." ”

Yes, it has become wise.

At this time, suddenly there was a roar outside, "Wu Zheng...... Wu Zheng, where are you? I'm going to get you to have a good theory. ”

Listening carefully, Wu Zheng and Mo Zhi looked at each other and smiled bitterly, yes, Zhang Cangshui is here, I am afraid that only Zhang Cangshui is the only one who dares to shout so loudly in this house.

It's not that Zhang Guowei and others don't dare to call Wu Zheng by name, but these other people really can't do something as "splashy" as Zhang Huangyan.

After a while, Zhang Huangyan rushed in.

The palace guards who were chasing Zhang Huangyan reluctantly pleaded guilty to Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng waved his hand and signaled to retreat, everyone understood that no one could stop Zhang Cangshui.

As soon as Zhang Huangyan came in, he pointed at Wu Zheng and shouted, "Wu Zheng, you are too bullying." ”

Mo Zhizhi stepped forward to persuade him, but was pushed away by Zhang Huangyan.

Wu Zheng said helplessly: "Brother Xuan, if you have something to say, where did I bully you?" ”

Zhang Huangyan said angrily: "You went to Jiangnan Academy before, and you said those words, and Shengsheng arranged me as the opposite of you, okay, I, Zhang Huangyan, am a pedantic person, but you Wu Zheng is a wise lord." Now it's okay, people with good deeds, record what you said at the time, and spread it everywhere, now the land of the six mansions, no, the land of the eleven mansions, I am afraid that everyone knows that I Zhang Huang said that I want to kill the yellow camel, and even your prince wants to pardon the yellow camel, but I vetoed it...... Wu Zheng, I want to ask, do I reject you? Do I have that power to you? Do I really want to get rid of the yellow camel and then fast? ”
