Chapter 185: Profit-making Methods
Not only that, even the gambling house that Qiguo has always forbidden, Su Yu even dared to open it secretly, and if this random one was taken out, it was a capital crime of the Zhulian Nine Clans, these people really didn't even want their lives for money, and they were so bold to do these things.
Although Hua Shenyue and Luo Chen did not know the seriousness of the consequences of selling salt and iron without permission, they also knew that in Qiguo, this was an absolutely forbidden behavior.
Unexpectedly, Su Yu really did everything to collect money, but they knew that this gambling house was a harmful thing. , and Su Yu, as the national abbot, actually opened a gambling house, which is a big crime of killing the head.
Only Yuan Yinyue was out of the situation with a confused face, she had been practicing martial arts with Old Man Huang from morning to night since she was a child, and she rarely cared about other things.
Moreover, the place where she usually practiced martial arts with Old Man Huang was very remote, so she didn't know this kind of common-sense knowledge, and naturally she didn't understand why everyone else looked shocked except for her.
Yuan Yinyue just wanted to open her mouth to ask them if there was anything wrong with these things, but Hua Shenyue saw her intentions sideways, so she covered her mouth with her hand, signaling her to keep silent first, in case it was heard by the people next to her, the location of all of them might be exposed.
Yuan Yinyue nodded, and it took Shen Yue to take away the hand that was covering Yuan Yinyue's mouth. Only then did he continue to eavesdrop on the movements next door.
"Why is Lord Luo so anxious, when the limelight of the matter passes, the prince will naturally start work, and when the time comes, you will inevitably get a lot of light, besides, didn't you get a lot of benefits before? Isn't the silver taels earned from so many fields in the western suburbs village enough to spend by Lord Luo? ”
Luo Ji laughed when he heard this: "Lord Lu, don't you also have a share of the silver taels I earned?" ”
People like them, no matter how much money they make, they will not be satisfied at all, they will only want to ask for more.
When Lu Yu heard this, he also laughed a few times: "This is thanks to Lord Luo's recommendation, I won't talk about troubles tonight, Lord Luo, go in and have a drink?" ”
Luo Ji laughed a few times, very satisfied with the respect of the person in front of him, and said, "Let's go, go in and drink." ”
"Lord Luo, please." Lu Yuxian said diligently.
The footsteps of the two immediately sounded, and the footsteps slowly disappeared into the private room with laughter, and Fu Qinglian and the others relaxed and began to talk, laugh and eat, drink wine, and eat vegetables.
Hua Shenyue still had some doubts in her heart, thinking of the conversation between Luo Ji and Lu Shan just now, she felt that something was wrong with some of them, so she looked at Fu Qinglian and asked curiously: "Ah Qing, what's going on with the fields in the western suburbs village?"
How did the money come from the fields? Is there such a big profit in this? According to Luo Ji and Lu Yu, among them, they can obtain a huge amount of money, so as to be greedy and arbitrary. ”
After Fu Qinglian heard Hua Shenyue's question, he poured a glass of wine with his hand, raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and then put down the glass and replied: "Presumably, Su Yu took the land developed by the imperial court as his own, and then leased the land to the people in the village to make a profit."
After all, it is a business, and the profits must be very huge, and they lease the fields to the villagers, and the rent is much higher than the usual rent. ”
"What? How great is this amnesty power, is this too much? Actually occupied the land of the imperial court and leased it to the people at such a high rent, wouldn't the imperial court of Qiguo be all such officials? ”
Yuan Yinyue finally understood something, but she was immediately so angry that she shouted loudly.
Luo Chen glanced at her, gave her a look, and quietly stretched out his hand to point at Fu Qinglian. Yuan Yinyue understood and immediately covered her mouth, she regretted that she had just opened her mouth.
Now there seems to be only one of them who is a grumpy person, and every one of them is mild-mannered. Indeed, this matter should not be so publicized.
Fu Qinglian is also an official of Qiguo, Fu Qinglian is in front of her, isn't her saying that Fu Qinglian is an official who is not right?
"It doesn't matter, this king knows that you don't mean this, but just say this kind of thing in front of us, and in other places, you have to be cautious in your words and deeds, otherwise you will offend other officials, and you will be finished." Fu Qinglian said indifferently.
Although this little girl is very arrogant, if she goes on in such a big way, she is likely to offend the powerful, and it is easy to get into trouble when the time comes, and she is cautious in her words and deeds, which is not a bad thing sometimes.
Yuan Yinyue breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, Fu Qinglian didn't think he was scolding him. She was just angry at what Su Yu did, so she was in a hurry, so she opened her mouth and almost offended the person next to her.
Fortunately, Fu Qinglian is not a narrow-minded person, otherwise, if Fu Qinglian is annoyed, she will have nowhere to go in this capital.
"Don't worry, Ah Qing is not so narrow-minded, besides, he will not do such a thing, Qi Guo is now peaceful and prosperous, Ah Qing accounts for a large part of the credit." Hua Shenyue sincerely praised Fu for being honest.
Hua Shenyue has been by Fu Qinglian's side for so long, so she naturally knows what Fu Qinglian does every day.
"yes, I know." Yuan Yinyue nodded. She naturally knows what kind of person Fu Qinglian is, if she were someone else, she wouldn't have to think about it to know that she wouldn't bring the person she just met back to the house to arrange to stay.
Yuan Yinyue didn't know what Fu Qinglian looked like in the court, but through Fu Qinglian's attitude towards the people around him, it could also be inferred that Fu Qinglian would never disdain to do something filthy.
"Lord Wang, shouldn't you go investigate?" Chen Shi asked, since they now know that there are people behind them who are privately doing earthwork business, then they should investigate now and pinch their handle in their hands.
"Don't be in a hurry, since Su Yu took into account Meng Zhendong's matter and closed the iron shop and salt shop, then wait for a while, and when he feels that the limelight of the matter has passed, it will not be too late to start work again." Fu Qinglian replied.
"What he said makes sense, I'm afraid I won't find anything if I go to check it now, why not wait for him to relax, thinking that the limelight has passed before he starts, at that time, it must be easy to find out what is going on." Luo Chen nodded in agreement.
"Let's eat, and don't talk about anything else tonight." After Fu Qinglian finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and touched Luo Chen's glass.
When Chen Shi heard this, he also felt that what Fu Qinglian and Luo Chen said made sense, so he simply left the matter behind and drank with Fu Qinglian and Luo Chen.
"Come, come, add me one, and I'll drink it too." Yuan Yinyue raised her wine glass and shouted.
Soon, Yuan Yinyue and Fu Qinglian blended together, and Hua Shenyue could only watch them drink, and then eat food silently.
"Eat more." Fu Qinglian noticed that Hua Shenyue was a little lonely, so he took a chopstick dish and put it in her bowl. Hua Shenyue looked up and saw Fu Qinglian smiling brightly at her.
"Thank you, Qing." Hua Shenyue also smiled in return. I am very satisfied, Fu Qinglian will still care about himself.
She thought that Fu Qinglian was busy drinking and couldn't notice her, but she didn't expect that Fu Qinglian was paying attention to her movements all the time.
"Brother Lian, you're finally here." As soon as Fu Beixing saw Fu Qinglian, he immediately walked down to greet Fu Qinglian in person.
"Why did the imperial brother call his brother here in such a hurry?" Fu Qinglian asked straight to the point, the relationship between the two of them is already so familiar, there is no need to make those useless etiquette numbers.
"Don't worry, sit down first, Xiao Yinzi, and ask someone to serve tea to King Jing." Fu Beixing politely took Fu Qinglian to the table and sat down, shouting at the small seal at the door.
"Yes." Xiao Yinzi answered, and then walked to the tea room.
Seeing that Fu Beixing was so attentive, Fu Qinglian had a bad premonition in his heart, presumably Fu Beixing had something to help him again.
Since the Southern Turkic incident, Fu Beixing has grown a lot more than before, he will not rely on Fu Qinglian as much as before, and he has his own views on many things, and he also makes his own decisions.
Fu Qinglian was a little relieved that Fu Beixing was finally able to handle state affairs by himself. It's just that today, I don't know what Fu Beixing called him for.
Fu Qinglian was not in a hurry, he sat down at the table according to Fu Beixing's wishes. Fu Qingqing's eyes looked at Fu Beixing with a little inquiry, but Fu Beixing's eyes were a little evasive, as if he was a little weak-hearted.
The palace maid walked in and served tea to Fu Qinglian, Fu Qinglian took a sip of it, and put down the cup, but saw Fu Beixing looking at him expectantly.
"Brother Lian, how is it? Is this tea good? Fu Beixing asked expectantly.
When Fu Qinglian heard this, he tasted it carefully, and then said: "Well, yes, the tea is fragrant, and the lips and teeth are fragrant, it must be a good tea that the imperial brother just got." ”
"Brother Lian has a good taste, this is the tea that Jiangnan has just offered, but this year's harvest is not good, only two catties, if Brother Lian likes it, I will let someone take a catty over and let you take it back to the house." Fu Qinglian smiled with satisfaction and sat down beside Fu Qinglian.
"Then the brother thanks the royal brother for his kindness, it's just that the imperial brother has something to say, there is no need to go around in circles, the imperial brother is not tired, and the younger brother is tired." Fu Qinglian put down the teacup, glanced at Fu Beixing, and said leisurely.
Fu Beixing coughed dryly twice, and then pretended to be serious and said: "Brother Lian, who knows me, since this is the case, I won't go around in circles, Brother Lian, this is too much, and I will definitely delay time when I review it alone, so I called you to help me review it together." ”
Fu Qinglian sighed helplessly: "Brother Huang, you are the emperor, this batch of reading and folding to deal with government affairs should be handled by you personally, you can't always rely on your younger brother." ”
"I know, it's just that I've been a little busy these days, so I can't deal with it, Brother Lian, you can help me this time, I promise, there will be no next time." Fu Beixing raised his hand and swore solemnly.
Fu Qinglian glanced at him, stood up and walked to the desk, picked up a book and looked at it, but his brows were furrowed, he put down the fold and shouted, "Little Yinzi, come here." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yinzi walked in suspiciously: "King Jing, but what do you have to explain?" ”
