Chapter 13 The merchants gathered, and the troops did not move
Ye Qingge was speechless, for some reason, in front of this younger brother, she always couldn't mention the prestige of being a sister.
"Ye Qingquan, Miss Ben told you that this is Miss Ben's business, you don't need to interfere! Does the lady like who still needs to report to you!! The Golden Leaf Firm is not all yours, so what's wrong with me at my disposal.... I ....." Her angry voice became weaker and weaker, so much so that she was finally extinguished by Ye Qingquan's eyes.
"Originally, I wanted to give my sister some of the treasures I brought back from Xiban as a dowry, but now it seems to be..." Excellent! Seeing that this guy looked fakely injured, Ye Qingge couldn't bear it anymore, so he grabbed his neck and said viciously: "The old lady doesn't threaten you, you treat me as a sister, don't you?!" ”
"You two, don't let the princess clean at any time!"
Suddenly, a majestic voice came from outside the door, stopping this open and secret fight, Ye Xi looked at these two children with a headache, he had been fighting since he beat his mother's womb, and his sister bullied his younger brother in the first three years after he came out, and after three years, his younger brother cultivated to become fine, and Ye Qingge never fought him again.....
It's just that in the past eighteen years, chickens and dogs have jumped every day in Yefu....
"Uncle, it's really rude to invite you here at night." Ling Hu Xian bowed her head and motioned for the little servant to move over the stool, and Ye Xi sat down with a little embarrassment: "Your Highness is really troubled by these two who don't make people worry." When I go back, I will discipline him severely. "Uncle has seen the outside, this hall and Qingge Qingquan are brothers and sisters, why bother to say it."
She poured the tea with her own hands and handed it to Ye Xi, and then turned over to look at the two sisters who had wilted.
"Brother Qingquan, you continue to talk about the grain and grass that entered the Chi'an negotiation this time." With Ye Xi in charge, the two of them can also get along peacefully, looking at the calm Ling Huxian with admiration. "Back to His Royal Highness, back to my father, this time, sixty percent of the grain merchants of Chi'an and the dynasty are willing to provide free grain, and twenty percent are willing to spontaneously provide grain and grass for transportation, and these grains and grasses are enough for a million army to eat for five years," Ye Jia said one by one The harvest was quite rich, Ye Xi looked at Ling Huxian who was not a little surprised in surprise, and asked Ye Xiao: "Qingge, what about you?" ”
"Back to Your Highness, father, in the firm, eighty percent of the wealthy are willing to donate silver grain, after the Ye family took the lead in donating 10 million taels of silver, the four families donated a total of 7.9 million taels of silver, the Yi family donated 5 million taels of silver, the Xiang family donated 3 million taels of silver, and the rest of the merchants of the firm donated a total of 9.18 million taels of silver, which is enough for the military salary and war readiness purchase of millions of troops!"
Ye Xi and Ye Jia were shocked again, they thought that they were already very surprised to have grain and grass, but they didn't expect these businessmen to donate silver so actively, this situation is simply unprecedented!
Only Ling Huxian looked expected.
"These cunning old fritters have lived up to the commercial law that I promulgated against public opinion." One sentence made the three of them understand instantly, when Ling Huxian drafted the commercial law, he also came to Ye Xi to ask for some implementation methods, and the first article of the commercial law was to elevate the status of businessmen, and change the emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business to the emphasis on agriculture and business. In order to encourage commerce and trade, she also promulgated countless good government reforms, while expanding the commercial economy, it also gave farmers a lot of benefits and support, and in the dynasty and even the whole continent merchants founded the first business house in the mainland - the Golden Leaf Commercial Bank, all merchants who enter the trade, can voluntarily join the commercial house, join the commercial house will have the convenience of free passage between the dynasty border and the city, without complicated official documents and documents, tariffs, etc., the commercial bank will also send a designated dart bureau to escort, but correspondingly, All parties need to pay a certain fee from the firm, and then the firm will pay the tax at the tax rate. Despite this, the merchants were still willing to join the Golden Leaf Trading House and obey the arrangement and management of the imperial court, and the dynasty's commercial economy became more and more developed, and it did not cause a bad atmosphere.
Now that the country is in crisis, these businessmen are willing to contribute money and efforts to protect the dynasty, but also to protect their own interests.
The glorious and magnificent Kowloon Pass Heavy Stone Gate was built in the narrow part of the Shuanglong Valley, which is an excellent military location.
The door is upright and carved with the three big characters of "Jiulong Pass", all of which show the ancient and powerful of the dynasty.
At the pass, a column of soldiers was strictly defended, carefully checking the customs clearance documents of the people entering the customs, and in the troubled times, these did not dare to be careless. A group of people stopped outside the pass, and the man in the black robe led by him tightened the reins and looked up at the three big characters under the autumn sun.
"Jiulong Pass..."This is the second time he has entered the dynasty, and the crotch is snorting excitedly, and the huge eyes reflect the few people coming and going at the pass.
"Is there any customs clearance document or paperwork?" When he entered the gateway, two soldiers stopped him and asked him to dismount and show his papers.
The man in the robe got off the horse, and a team of attendants behind him also got off the horse, "Little brother, I didn't have the customs clearance documents, I don't know if you can let us enter the customs with this?" He explained sincerely, untying a jade order from the belt of his robe, the thick ink color was obvious at a glance, and the intricate carving made the fox come to life vividly.
When the two soldiers saw this object, their faces turned pale, and they looked at each other: "Quick, go and report to the general!" One of them commanded, respectfully handing over the jade order to the man: "This son, please wait." ”
General Yu once ordered the whole army to report to him as soon as anyone encounters someone who enters the pass with an ink-colored fox jade pendant!
In less than half a pillar of incense, in the calm pass, four or five war horses rushed from afar, and the old general headed by him was shrewd and quite majestic, he stopped at the pass, kept staring at the movement under the doorway, and hurried over after getting off the horse.
"General," the man politely clasped his fists and saluted, Yu Qinglong looked up and down, and saluted back: "This son wants to enter the customs?" Can you let General Ben see the jade order? The man rubbed the ink jade in his hand, and cherished it very much: "General's surname?" "The old man's surname is Yu Mingqinglong, and he is the guard of the Kowloon Pass under the command of Princess Longxian." "General Yu, please." He chuckled and handed over the jade order, Yu Qinglong respectfully took it, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then handed the jade order back to him, and walked back two steps to greet the monarch: "Minister Yu Qinglong knocked to see His Royal Highness, Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”
All the soldiers followed Yu Qinglong and saluted in the face of the jade order, and the ink fox order exuded a warm luster in the sun.
After the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, Yu Qinglong stood up, speculating in his heart about the relationship between this man and His Royal Highness. "His Royal Highness once instructed the old man, if someone enters the customs with the Mohu Order, he will be treated as a distinguished guest, I don't know the surname of the son?" Hearing this, the man humbly bowed: "Don't give your surname Jiu, General Yu will call me Jiuyue." ”
The food and grass are worry-free, the military salary is sufficient, and the armament in Longxian County is abundant, everything seems to be ready, just waiting for the east wind.
However, Ling Huxian has been standing still.
"Heh, humiliating me like this, the heir of the Linghu family, Xia Quan can be regarded as fulfilling his little careful thinking." In the study, only the girl was talking to herself, and the secret guards were afraid that the low pressure and low temperature in the room were ten steps away from this small courtyard.
Ling Huxian pinched a small piece of paper and rubbed it over, and an eagle falcon with oily fur and black night stood on the four-sided screen where Penghai was fighting, tilting his head and combing his feathers with a sharp beak. "Ah Ye, are there many people in the capital? Black Hawk heard the call and turned his head to look at the girl sitting below, his sharp eyes fixed on the note in her hand.
"The Long Clan's regime is tyrannical, and even the newly formed Praetorian Guard is doing evil," she chuckled, and burned the note with a light gesture, her eyes fierce: "Poor hundreds of thousands of people left behind in the imperial capital, life is better than death." ”
In the study, except for her self-talk, there was no other sound, which was particularly weird.
"It's a pity, Lian doesn't know where he went, night, you say, will he come to Longxian County?"
"Gollum," the night screamed in a low voice, spreading its wings and swooping down on the girl's raised arm. Good boy, thank you.." Ling Huxian stroked its fried feathers and gently comforted, "Go and see the girl He, she likes you very much." As soon as the words fell, when she heard the name He, Ye was hoarse in a complaining voice like a wronged little daughter-in-law, and the sharp beak was on her palm.
It doesn't like that woman, and always desperately takes it into its arms, and that strength is more than enough to strangle it!
"Listen to Fengrui, you don't know where to kidnap a daughter-in-law?" In a leisurely tone, I didn't know that I thought she was talking to someone, and the black eagle made a coquettish move, "White Hai Dongqing, our family Ah Ye did a really good job~ Well, it's better to call it Ah Day." Bring it back another day and let me see. ”
?? Why, it's not enough to turn it off? Do you still want to kidnap its daughter-in-law?
"Oh, yes, White Shadow!" Just a low call, the little wolf who was dozing under the table outside immediately erected his ears, and immediately stood up and ran into the study with a "whoosh", staring directly at Ling Huxian behind the table. She smiled with satisfaction, and introduced each other seriously: "Ah Ye, this is Bai Ying, well, Xiao Ying, this is Ah ..."
"Meow~" The tragic picture of hostility was once broken by a cat's meow, all the way to snow white, a water-blue satin ribbon around the neck, and the yawning cat walked in with lazy steps, nesting on the cushion of the guest seat.
"Bai Lang?" Ling Huxian was pleasantly surprised: "Could it be that Xuandie has arrived?" ”
The white cat's eyes were lazy, looking at an eagle and a wolf who were in the midst of a white-hot fight, as if "I am the boss".
"Butterfly Star makes Xuandie see the seat master!" With permission, a crescent white robe ran in from outside the door, full of capable women, embroidered with rolling butterflies on the sides of the robe, and the waning moon was on the head.
"Well, you don't have to be so restrained at home, sit down." Bai Lang jumped out of the empty seat, and nested in Ling Huxian's arms, Xuandie walked over and was just about to sit down, and caught a glimpse of a white velvet living creature hiding behind the desk, knowing that Ling Huxian loved to raise some strange-shaped creatures, and asked casually: "Master, what did you take as a pet?" ”
White velvet, rabbit? Or cats and dogs?
"White Shadow, a snow wolf." The voice from that seat was extremely calm.
"Oh, Snow Wolf...."
......
"What?? Snow Wolf ??? ”
