Wei Liangqing stood at the door of the firm, looking at the messy street, and felt very comfortable. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In this huge capital, only his family has not been fired, and in the future, he will not be able to say that he will have the most expensive signboard, and he will not worry about no business!

Wei Liangqing laughed for a long time, ate December ice in a good mood, turned around, and said loudly, "Xiao Li, from now on, the door will be half closed, and all visitors will block except for business!" ”

"Half off?"

Xiao Li was stunned, since he wanted to block the car, why did he want to pass the half-pass? However, Wei Liangqing is the shopkeeper, and he will close the door as soon as he agrees.

For such a big matter, it is naturally impossible for the big wealthy businessmen in the capital to lick their wounds alone, and they have contacted each other, constantly passing on news, and they all want to unite to ask for an explanation.

"What do you say? Huitong Commercial Bank? Is that the one Wei Liangqing did? ”

"It's the shopkeeper."

"Are they okay? How could it be, he was so happy before, it was impossible for the court to let them go! ”

"Yes, but it is said that there are many people who protect the firm, and I heard from some people that the background is very large."

"Wait, I remember, when they opened, there were a lot of dignitaries?"

"Yes, there are dozens of them."

"It seems...... Wei Liangqing is a nobleman. ”

Such discussions resounded all over the capital, and each had different thoughts.

"Pick out a few good things that are hidden at home and send them to Huitong Commercial Bank to store."

"Take 50,000 taels of silver and deposit it in Huitong Commercial Bank."

"Take my invitation and go to invite Wei Liangqing."

In the afternoon, when it was getting late, Zhu Xu left the palace and sat in the carriage, groaning in his heart.

The imperial court has raised so much 'tax' this time, and the situation in Liaodong should be eased somewhat. It's just that how long Sun Chengzong can last, Zhu Xu can't be sure. Without Wei Zhongxian's suppression, the Donglin Party and Qingliu were more **** and more unscrupulous.

Cao Wenzhao drove the carriage, he was clear about Zhu Xu's thoughts, turned his head and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, don't you really want to see Inspector Sun?" ”

"I can't see it." Zhu Xu sighed slightly, his identity was embarrassing, if he went to see him, he would not be able to backfire and burn himself.

Cao Wenzhao was also very helpless, he thought in his heart more than once that if His Royal Highness became the emperor, maybe many things would not have happened, and the court would not be chaotic to such a point.

The carriage turned around in the alley a few times, and Cao Wenzhao said to Zhu Xu, "Your Highness, no one is following." ”

"Yes, go to my uncle's." Zhu Xu said.

As soon as Zhu Xu entered the Fu Mansion, Fu Changzong's face changed sharply and he pulled him into the secret room, and at the same time reproached, "Xu'er, why are you here at this time?"

Zhu Xu smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "I wanted to come a long time ago, but it was delayed by this sudden incident." ”

The two sat down in the study, and Fu Changzong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What's so anxious?" ”

Zhu Xu sat on the chair, half-lying and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm in a hurry, I'm just going to take a look." ”

Fu Changzong was helpless about Zhu Xu's lazy appearance, and said, "You want to know how much property the household department copied this time, right?" ”

This is indeed one of Zhu Xulai's purposes, and he said, "There should be a rough idea." ”

Fu Changzong nodded and said, "The current silver is about two million taels, the silver ticket is about two million taels, the property is about one million taels, and the total amount is about five million taels." ”

Zhu Xu's face changed, he sat up, and said, "How much?" ”

Fu Changzong knew Zhu Xu's surprise, smiled slightly bitterly, and said, "You have been in the palace all the time, and you don't know much about the various yamen. The silver allocated by the imperial court will be stripped layer by layer, and the silver handed over will also be stripped layer by layer. Therefore, the amount of silver allocated by the imperial court will be more, and the taxes below will also be heavier. ”

The corners of Zhu Xu's mouth twitched, not that he didn't know, but that he didn't know that he would be so ruthless. Originally, it was more than 50 million taels, but in the end, less than one-tenth of it reached the imperial court!

"I see."

Zhu Xu sighed with emotion, the salt tax of Daming is more than one million taels a year, and the population is about sixty million, it stands to reason that it is no problem to collect ten million taels a year, but now according to Fu Changzong's words, it makes perfect sense.

It has lost the court, worked hard for the people, and enriched the bureaucracy.

"This is already good," Fu Changzong also sighed slightly, and said: "Add two million taels of Liaodong silver, one million taels of SX bandits, and one million taels of SC, which can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need." ”

Zhu Xu shook his head slightly, and said, "The hard days are still to come, by the way, uncle, what happened today?" Early in the morning, the imperial sister-in-law pulled me over and asked me if I had been affected. ”

"The Queen?" Fu Changzong was stunned for a moment, and then said thoughtfully: "According to the queen's care for you, it is due." ”

"What's wrong?" Zhu Xu looked at Fu Changzong, obviously he knew something.

Fu Changzong said, "On the side of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, through this incident, several princes were imprisoned, and more than a dozen imperial historians were impeaching them for improper titles and asking for their titles. ”

The corners of Zhu Xu's mouth moved, this was the trick they used to deal with Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka clan in the first place. said that they are eunuchs and the like, the family of nannies, and when they go to the Qingliu, it is the word 'imright'.

Zhu Xu was not interested in these, and suddenly leaned closer and said, "Uncle, the things I asked you to plant outside the city should be harvested, right?" ”

Fu Changzong showed a sudden look and said, "It turns out that you are here for this." Well, there were tenants to repay before, and they did grow out, but the corn was ripe in July, and it would take a while. That sweet potato, I'm afraid it will be two months later. ”

Zhu Xu nodded, this corn and sweet potato has long been passed on to Daming, but it does not match Daming's eating habits, so it is not widespread, and few people know about it.

"Okay," Zhu Xu looked quite excited, and said: "There should be more than ten days, you let them accept it, polish it, and send it to the city, and I will give you the address." ”

Fu Changzong knew that Zhu Xu must have been premeditated in doing this, thought about it, and said: "Nowadays, there is a lot of wasteland in various places, the price is cheap, and there are many displaced refugees, so if you want to plant more, there is no difficulty." ”

Zhu Xu was very concerned about this matter, and said with a deep face: "Okay, the silver is not a problem, after this incident, it will be easy to make up 10 million taels, and you will be able to get a lot of money every day at that time, okay, let's go down like this." ”

Fu Changzong was a little puzzled by his last words, but he still said: "Well, as long as the silver is enough, these things will be much simpler to do in the name of the household yamen, and there will be no obstacles." ”

Zhu Xu was excited, with these two high-yield and drought-resistant crops, they will be popularized, and they will be powerful weapons for disaster relief and resistance to displaced people in the future.

"Father."

Suddenly, Fu Tao's voice sounded outside the door.

Fu Changzong frowned slightly, stood up, walked to the door of the secret room, opened it and looked at Fu Tao and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Fu Tao glanced at Zhu Xu inside, and said in a low voice: "Father, Zhang Guogong has been arrested." ”

"Zhang Guogong? Which one ......" Fu Changzong's brows furrowed more, and he was about to scold, but his face changed slightly: "You are talking about the father of the queen mother?" ”

"Which yamen is it!"

Zhu Xu stood beside Fu Changzong and said in a cold voice.
