After Liu Mingzhi arranged for Yan Feixiong to stay, he introduced his existence to his family.

However, his identity was not revealed, but he said that his name was Wan Feixiong, and he was the younger brother of a friend of his and needed to take care of him for a while.

Liu Zhi'an and the three of them did not disappoint the three ladies, and when twilight came, they finally went back to their respective homes.

Liu Zhian didn't ask Yan Feixiong's identity carefully, but his sensitive intuition told him that the child in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person.

Although the demeanor is courteous and polite, the momentum that is unintentionally revealed is too overwhelming.

Knowing that the eldest son had grown up and had his own secrets, Liu Zhian just told Liu Mingzhi to take control of the balance and went back to the room to rest alone.

This time, he didn't even ask Liu Si about the identities of the few Wanyan Feixiong, and only he knew what he thought in his heart.

After sending it back, Yan Fei Xiong Liu sat alone in the study and pondered.

The lights were dim, Liu Mingzhi looked at the ten acacia seeds on the rice paper with concentration, and suddenly felt a palpitation when he played with the engraved seal carving knife.

It was as if there was a feeling that I was going to lose something very important.

Dangdang.....

Liu Mingzhi shook for a moment, then took a breath and looked at the thumb that was cut by the carving knife, and his tone was a little impatient: "Who?" ”

"Young master, the mountain chief is looking for you!"

Liu Song's voice sounded outside the study door.

Liu Mingzhi's mood calmed down a little: "I know, I'm going to pay homage to the old man, you can step back first!" ”

"Yes, the little one."

"Boy Liu, the old man came by himself, didn't bother you, right?"

Hearing the voice of the old man sounding outside the door, Liu Mingzhi did not hesitate, hurriedly put away the acacia on the table, got up and opened the door of the study.

"Old man, please come in, what advice do you have for me at this hour! Do you have to marry my granddaughter to me? ”

"Get out, dare to fight Yun Shu's idea, be careful that the old decay castrates you, remember the words of the old decay, the sexual prosperity will cause disaster, and it will be cut to eternal rule!"

Liu Mingzhi felt a little chill in a certain position, and laughed embarrassedly twice and added a cup of tea to Wen Renzheng: "It's just a joke, are you still worried about Your Majesty's business?" ”

Wen Renzheng pecked at the tea lightly, and looked at Liu Mingzhi with majestic eyes: "Your father told you?" ”

"Yes, just a few words, the main thing is that the old man is worried that once the business road is opened, the people will think about wealth and have no intention of farming, and there will be a food shortage at that time.

Wen Renzheng sighed and squinted his eyes at Liu Mingzhi: "Boy, don't feel old and long-winded, you are still young, and you don't know what the consequences will be once there is a food shortage. ”

Wen Renzheng seemed to recall something, and there was a deep palpitation in his eyes with a hint of fear: "Once there is a shortage of food, the people can do anything for food, at that time, what benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and morality are empty talk, the people are forced to become homeless, and the officers and soldiers are forced to become bandits, for such a small handful of food, I am really afraid that you will be lost in earning money all of a sudden, which will lead to neglect the most important things." ”

Although Liu Mingzhi has never experienced it, later generations also learned from the older generation that the famine was terrible, and he ate everything he could eat, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a locust transit.

Once a person is hungry to the extreme, it is forgivable to do something terrifying.

Just like Wen Renzheng said, it's just for a small handful of food.

"Old man, your worried boy knows, this matter has been discussed with His Majesty, the household department strictly controls the number of merchants out of the customs, and at the same time, the officials and businessmen will buy the surplus grain goods in the hands of the people and sell them out of the customs, in exchange for cattle and sheep leather to sell to the people at a low price, take it from the people for the people, and strive to make every Dalong people a beneficiary of business, so as to truly hide the wealth of the people!"

Wen Renzheng sighed, and his brows soothed: "If this is the best, but it costs a lot of manpower and material resources, and it has to be sold to the people at a low price, and the treasury will be empty in the long run, and there is a countermeasure for this?" ”

Liu Mingzhi chuckled twice: "Old man, don't worry, the treasury will not be empty, but will be full of money, although the officials and businessmen may lose some financial resources, but the taxes paid by the caravan formed by private businessmen and wealthy squires are enough to enrich the treasury and ensure that they will make a steady profit and not lose money!" ”

"The imperial court doesn't plan to charge high taxes, if so, with the merchant's desire to pursue profits, the tax is too high, and he will definitely not be willing to trade through the customs!"

"Old man, look at it, not only will it not be like this, but there will be an endless stream of merchants who go out of the customs, whether there is any money to make them know better than us, my old man has requisitioned all the Liu family caravans in Jiangnan, Northwest, Shudi, and the East China Sea are already waiting for the day of switching, and they have rods and scales in their hearts."

Wen Renzheng was stunned and chuckled: "You dare to arrange your father like this in private, I'm not afraid that he will hang you up and smoke!" ”

"Definitely not, the Liujia firm has fallen into a bottleneck, the old man is trying to plan a new way, and now as soon as the business road opens, the door will come, he thanked me too late, smoke me? Can my mother spare him? ”

"I said that you kid swore so much, you won't do anything to use power for personal gain, right?"

Wen Renzheng suddenly squinted and looked at Liu Mingzhi sharply.

Liu Mingzhi's face stiffened, picked up the teacup and pecked lightly: "How is it possible, the kid eats the king's Lu and shares the worries of the king, and the family and state affairs have always been clear." ”

Seeing Liu Dashao's weak look, Wen Renzheng still didn't know what was going on, and there must have been some unsightly deeds in the middle.

However, he didn't say a lesson, everyone has selfish intentions, he believes that Liu Mingzhi has his own measure, and he will never be able to act too recklessly.

And he firmly believes that Li Zheng is also clear about the doorway, but there is no instruction to show that Li Zheng acquiesced to Liu Dashao's personal interests for the Liu family.

The whole world belongs to the emperor, and the emperor doesn't even ask, why should he go to the root of an old man who has long stopped asking about the affairs of the court.

"With your words, I can rest assured, the two little things in Beijing have been almost done, and it is time for the old man to go back to Jiangnan, the academy is very busy!"

"Back to Jiangnan? So soon, His Majesty acquiesced to the identity of the junior daughter? ”

"Eight or nine is not far from ten! Let's say something disrespectful between our master and apprentice, the emperor is too suspicious, too much attention to the way of trade-offs, destined to be only a Ming Jun rather than a holy monarch, the same one day, success is also weighed, defeat is also weighed, if you want to gain a firm foothold in the court, boy, you have to prepare in advance! ”

Liu Dashao was shocked to hear that Renzheng said from the bottom of his heart, but he was still a little surprised.

"Old man, isn't it too arbitrary? Boy, I feel that Your Majesty is still good! ”

"No, don't look at the emperor with emotional eyes, the heavenly family is ruthless, the son of heaven is even more ruthless, the title of a lonely person is not groundless, he is half a disciple of the old man, the old man understands his personality, never look at the emperor with the eyes of ordinary people!"

"The kid knows, he will make plans early!"

"Boy, do you know why you won the honor of civil and military officials at the same time?"

"Didn't my uncle say that His Majesty intended to let me develop in the military? The kid also thinks so, Guan Neihou said that whether General Xuanwei is a loose official is just a matter of His Majesty's words! ”

Wen Renzheng shook his head gently: "Yes and no, no, no!" ”
