After Wang Xuannian heard this, when he saw these accounts, he was disappointed in his heart, and he kept looking at Zhong Xuanlan without saying a word.

Zhong Xuanlan acted as if he didn't know, and looked at the account book in front of him: "You are not satisfied with the compensation I gave?" ”

Wang Xuannian was indeed dissatisfied in his heart, and said with a smile that he said incorrectly: "I am very satisfied with this compensation." ”

Zhong Xuanlan looked at Wang Xuannian's expression, knowing that he was not happy, but she thought that this compensation was good.

Wang Xuannian was waiting for Zhong Xuanlan's words, but he didn't wait, and changed the topic: "Lan'er, how much salary are you going to give me?" ”

Hearing this, Zhong Xuanlan showed a thoughtful look, came over for a while and said, "After reading an account book, I will give you ten cents." ”

Wang Xuannian looked at the account book and counted it silently in his heart, a total of fifty books, five hundred wen, not enough for his family Lan'er's meal money.

He muttered, "Looks like I need to find something else to do." ”

Zhong Xuanlan patted the box beside him: "No, na, you see that I still have a big box of account books, you look at the table, and then look at these, it should be enough for me to pay for lunch." ”

Wang Xuannian: ......

He estimated that it would take him a morning to finish reading this box, and he would earn a meal in the morning!

Zhong Xuanlan saw that Wang Xuannian did not respond: "Otherwise, you should be able to save a little bit by flying to the farmhouse in front of you with light power to borrow a boil to cook." ”

Wang Xuannian: ......

Now he knew that Zhong Xuanlan was tossing him in disguise.

Okay, he did it, as long as she was relieved!

Wang Xuannian did not respond to Zhong Xuanlan, picked up the account book on the table and began to review.

Zhong Xuanlan raised his eyebrows: "Husband, sit aside, I want to sleep." ”

Wang Xuannian obediently moved the account book aside to review the accounts.

Zhong Xuanlan felt bored when he saw this, and half lay on the soft couch, browsing with news about Youzhou.

Now that the drought in Youzhou has begun to appear, some people have begun to hoard grain and resell it.

Some people started digging wells, some people started moving...... However, Zhong Xuanlan didn't care about these things.

When she saw the news of her shop, she was slightly angry that someone was pretending to be a disaster victim to move her things.

She got up, took a brush and wrote a letter, and shouted in the air: "Winter solstice." ”

After seeing that the winter solstice came in, Zhong Xuanlan handed the letter to the winter solstice: "Send the letter to Youzhou urgently to the prince of Yongcheng." ”

"Yes." After receiving the letter, Dong Solstice exited the carriage and flew away.

When Wang Xuannian saw Zhong Xuanlan looking over, he immediately lowered his head and looked at the account book, although he wanted to know, but he didn't ask, thinking that if Zhong Xuanlan wanted to tell him, he would definitely say it.

As everyone knows, if he asks each other, Zhong Xuanlan will tell him, just like Zhong Jialing, he missed the opportunity to know the answer.

Zhong Xuanlan saw that Wang Xuannian didn't ask questions, so he picked up the news of Kyoto City and browsed.

At this time, Kyoto City fell into a brief period of chaos due to the disappearance of the Zhong family's trading house.

With the cooperation of the Imperial Court, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Imperial Merchants, it did not take long to maintain the stability of Kyoto Castle.

Some merchants have disappeared in this chaos, some have risen, and some have remained as they are...... For these, Zhong Xuanlan is very satisfied.

However, some people were quite dissatisfied, especially Empress Dowager Zhong and Emperor Jingxi's mother and son.

In Fengyi Palace, Empress Dowager Zhong sat on the phoenix chair, looked at Gonggong Fu and asked, "Did Zhong Tingzhi send the silver?" ”

Gonggong Fu shook his head and said cautiously: "Recently, there was an accident in the Zhong family's trading house, and the Zhong patriarch was busy running around, maybe... Maybe I didn't bother for a while. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong's phoenix eyes flashed with displeasure, she wanted to stop the disappearance of the Zhong family firm, but Zeng Youzhi split the Zhong family firm, and didn't give her time to react at all.

Now that one of her cash cows is gone, she will not let go of the Zhong family's side branches.

"Really?" Empress Dowager Zhong was very dissatisfied with Zhong Tingzhi, and said in a rather unhappy tone: "If you don't send it tomorrow, then don't blame the mourning family for being ruthless." ”

Father-in-law Fu cautiously glanced at Empress Dowager Zhong, and was startled by her ruthless look, and immediately lowered his head and stood there more respectfully.

The hall was quiet for a while, and only the fragrance of tea wafted in the air.

"The emperor has arrived." A shrill voice broke the silence.

Empress Dowager Zhong muttered, "Didn't the emperor come this morning?" What are you here for? ”

Gonggong Fu looked at the people who walked in, quickly knelt down and saluted, and then left the hall with the palace people in the hall.

The moment he closed the door of the palace, he glanced at the Empress Dowager Zhong, and thought about whether to stand in line, after all, the Empress Dowager Zhong is old, he has followed the Empress Dowager Zhong for many years, and has helped her deal with a lot of things.

At the moment when the door of the main hall was closed, Empress Dowager Zhong looked at Emperor Jingxi who was sitting on the side and asked, "The emperor came here to visit the mourning family, what is the matter?" ”

Emperor Jingxi glanced at Empress Dowager Zhong: "I just received news that the Zhong family's business is only Ganzhou and Anzhou, and now the Zhong family is cooperating with the Seven Princes of Southern Liang." ”

Empress Dowager Zhong was shocked, the Zhong family was shrinking, and it was far away from the imperial city, and last year the Zhong family was divided, and the tribute money had been halved.

So what about her luxurious life in the future, although she has some shops, these are simply not enough to maintain her daily expenses.

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Zhong hurriedly asked, "Is Zhong Xuanlan awake?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan is like a fox, if he wakes up and learns that he is standing by and watching, how will he make a move?

Emperor Jingxi shook his head slightly: "Now the Zhong family is still in charge of Wang Xuannian. ”

However, he got a piece of news, Zhong Xuanlan was carrying a strange treasure-Xiangmu Zhu, no wonder the Zhong family was willing to help the Mo family back then, and they were willing to pay so much?

When Empress Dowager Zhong heard this, she thought for a while, and she decided to take down the only Zhong family.

"Your Majesty, send someone to give an order and take over the Zhong family."

Although Emperor Jingxi was short of money, he disagreed with it in his heart, he always felt that the Zhong family's wealth was more than what he saw on the surface.

"Queen Mother, Erchen thinks that this matter is impossible, the Zhong family and Zhong Tinghao's father and son."

Empress Dowager Zhong said disdainfully: "They don't know how to do business, wouldn't it be gone for the Zhong family to hand them over." ”

"If we forcibly take over, the Liu family and the Lu family may have a sense of crisis, and at this time, the ministers still need the help of the five imperial merchants." Emperor Jingxi persuaded.

According to the news he got in Youzhou, the drought is beginning to appear, if there is a problem with the five imperial merchants at this time, and he can't come up with the money, Youzhou may be in chaos.

Youzhou is a border pass, and there must be no chaos, otherwise Dongyuan is in danger.

Empress Dowager Zhong didn't know Emperor Jingxi's thoughts, now she just wants to live well, take care of herself, enjoy life, and let herself live for a few more years.

"So how about we do it for the time being?

Didn't you say that Zhong Xuanli was missing?

The Zhong family can't always be in the hands of Wang Xuannian's lowly farmer! Recently, because of his control, the Zhong family has shrunk little by little, and after a while, the mourning family is afraid that he will be defeated. “

Transient?

Emperor Jingxi was a little moved, but he had to order someone to go to Shengcheng to inquire about the news again.
