The county lord of Anyang and Tang Shui were in the pavilion, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

Tang Ning used to think that Tang Fairy was a woman who got into the eyes of money, but he didn't expect that the county lord of Anyang was even more than her.

Tang Yaoyao loves money, she likes the process of making money, she herself has no concept of silver, and she never spends money indiscriminately.

What the county lord of Anyang likes is obviously the process of spending money.

She invites guests to dinner and parties all day long, friends are all over the world, the silver is spent from her hands, and she can't afford to splash anything.

Of course, the loser is not the home of the defeated Downing.

In the end, it's a friend, and when they leave Jingshi, it's not impossible to give her some shop property.

He and King Huai's proposal has been passed and will be implemented soon.

Tang Ning made an understanding of the powerful people who did this kind of gray business in Beijing, and found that things were not as complicated as he imagined.

The Zhou family's business is the biggest, and it is also the most difficult to mess with, mainly because he has the queen mother behind him, and the identity of the queen mother is there, whether it is an official in the court or a king Huai, he is not willing to get along with the Zhou family.

After all, no one wanted to offend the most noble old man in the Chen Kingdom.

The rest of the families have nothing to fear.

These families are all hovering at the bottom of the elite, and the origins of some families can even be traced back to the time when a large number of knights were founded in the country, and now, their influence in the upper circles is almost none.

In addition, there are some relatives who can only fight with the royal family, and the imperial doctor who was knighted more than 20 years ago for his meritorious service in treating the concubine......

These are some small families that are about to decline, but all the larger families do not bother to do such things that are poked in the backbone, and these small families have no hope of revival, and simply begin to accumulate money endlessly, because the business is close to buying and selling without capital, so that they will not invest their money and energy in other business at all.

In this way, when the imperial court forbade them to accumulate wealth through this inhumane way, if they did not transform as soon as possible, they could only sit back and eat.

It's just that when they get used to this way of making money without much investment and can reap huge profits, it is not necessary whether they can calm down and do something else.

In the past two days, the Zhou family and these powerful people have danced very happily, the Tang family is very quiet, although the Tang family is gone, but Tang Ning still did not relax his surveillance of them.

If you don't explode in silence, you perish in silence.

After having King Kang's example, Tang Ning didn't think that silence was a good thing, at this time, the quieter it was, the more abnormal it was.

Of course, it is a bit unfounded to worry that the Tang family and King Duan will rebel like King Kang.

With the experience of King Kang, if Emperor Chen can still let King Duan launch another rebellion, then for so many years, his throne will definitely not be able to sit so securely.

What Tang Ning has to deal with next is the matter of this ban.

After today, the Jingshi will not allow the people of the Western Regions to be bought and sold as goods, and the slaves who have not yet had time to sell will also be handed over in exchange for Chen Guo's captives and hostages in the Western Regions.

Regarding the proposal not to use the means of the grassland against Chen to treat the innocent people of the Western Regions and prohibit the trade of slaves in the Western Regions, the imperial court officially wrote it into the law.

This is naturally not good news for those families who make a career out of it.

But they cannot disobey the law, no matter what they do in secret, at least openly, and behave as obedient.

Among them, the most tragic is Yongping Hou.

Other families still have some savings and can spend a long time, but Yongping Hou is poor and white, and he still owes a lot of debts.

As an extremely marginalized magnate, none of his creditors can afford to offend.

Zhao Guogong's Mansion, Zhou Wu sent Yongping Hou out, shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't help you, it's really too huge, you know, the Zhou family is not having a good time now, this thousand taels is already the limit that the Zhou family can take." ”

Yongping Hou's face showed a look of mockery, a thousand taels is just a drop in the bucket for the Zhou family, it's just that Zhou Wu doesn't want to help him.

He arched his hand and said, "In that case, I will take my leave first." ”

Zhou Wu watched him walk away, a trace of disdain appeared on his old face, and he turned around and walked back.

The door of the Zhou Mansion closed, and the Marquis of Yongping turned around, grinned, and said, "The left and right are dead, it is better for everyone to die together......"

……

Because during the New Year's Festival, the ministries will temporarily close their offices, so the ministries will be busier than usual before the New Year's Festival.

Shangshu Province was busier than the six departments and other yamen, the excerpts of each ministry were concentrated here, Tang Ning could no longer go home at three o'clock in the afternoon, he and King Huai finished reading all the excerpts, and when they walked out of the palace gate, the sky was completely dark.

In normal times, it should be the most lively time in Jingshi, but only a few days have passed since King Kang's rebellion, and the entire Jingshi is still under martial law, and at night, the people are reluctant to come out again.

Tang Ning carried a lantern in his hand, looked at the darkness ahead, and decided to let Lao Zheng pick him up at this time tomorrow, although he and King Huai would stop by for a while, but King Huai's Mansion was closer, and there was still a long way to go, and he needed to walk by himself.

It's not that he's worried about his safety, since Su Mei has that Ten Thousand Gu Poison Sutra, with his current poisonous Gu methods, Lao Zheng may not be able to please him.

If even these methods can't work, even if Lao Zheng comes, it's useless.

King Huai walked side by side with him, and the two chatted without a word, most of them about recent court events.

At a certain moment, King Huai turned his head to look at him and asked casually, "Lord Tang seems to have a high opinion of Xiao Wan?" ”

"If I have the chance, I want to meet the Lord of the Little Wan Kingdom." Tang Ning said: "His vision and pattern are extremely advanced, at least six hundred years ahead of Chen Guo. ”

"What will happen in the future, no one knows." King Huai looked at him and wondered, "Why is Lord Tang so sure, the world in six hundred years will be like this." ”

Of course, Tang Ning can't say that he deduced it based on time, and the ideology of the people of Xiaowan is obviously not on the same level as the Chen State and the Chu State.

Some of their concepts, ideas, and values will not appear until 600 years later.

Provided, of course, that the trajectory of historical development largely follows another world.

He glanced at King Huai and said, "It's not a secret, this official is from the future ...... six hundred years later."

King Huai looked at him, shook his head, and stopped talking.

Tang Ning didn't explain anymore, when the truth is so false that others won't believe it at all, you can just tell the truth.

King Huai didn't speak, and Tang Ning didn't speak anymore, so the atmosphere was a little awkward.

This embarrassment lasted only a short time before it disappeared again and became invisible.

Tang Ning and King Huai stopped at the same time and looked at the alleys on both sides that were engulfed in darkness.

Figures came out of the deep alleys on both sides, wearing night clothes, their faces covered with black cloths, and the weapons in their hands flashed cold in the darkness.

Tang Ning glanced at King Huai and asked, "Why don't you bring an escort?" ”

King Huai asked rhetorically, "Didn't you bring it too?" ”

This is the disadvantage of not liking to bring guards when traveling, Tang Ning looked at the man in black who was approaching them, and said, "You are on your left, and I am on my right?" ”

King Huai nodded: "Good ......"
