"Did Sister Tang pick it, or did the husband pick it himself?"

Gu Qingchen put the bracelet on his wrist, the size was just right, and the slightest coolness spread from his wrist to his whole body, which was very comfortable.

"Of course I picked it, how can this fake others!"

Yang Congyi didn't dare to raise his head, squatted down, and was about to hold the child in his hands, but the child dodged to the side.

"Forget it, let it be chosen by the husband. I guess I have something to say when I come back this time. ”

Gu Qingchen leaned over and picked up the child and walked to the house.

"It's not a big deal, I'm going north in two days, going to Mingzhou and Lin'an, I don't know how long I'm going to delay in Lin'an, I can't take care of it at home for the time being, if the court has other arrangements, I will send someone to you to send a letter back in time, if there is no special arrangement, I will come back myself."

"State affairs are important, husband is busy with you, don't worry about us, with me and Lian'er at home, everything will be fine." We will be optimistic about home, and we will also bring Siyuan big. ”

"Well, I've worked hard for you all these years."

"Nothing else but that?"

"What else?"

"Sister Tang, what did you arrange? Is it in Quanzhou? ”

"She wasn't in Quanzhou, she went to a far away place, you don't have to worry."

"What am I worried about, can she still come to me?"

"That's not what I mean, I'm afraid that you will meet and fight, like today, each side will be clean."

"Why should I fight her? I have something to argue with her. ”

"It's best not to fight, it's best to be fine, it's because I'm narrow-minded."

"Husband, do you want to have another child, only Siyuan, the family is still too lonely."

"You took care of it?"

"It's okay, it's a big deal to hire someone."

"Okay, the family affairs are up to you."

"Listen to my arrangement at this time, why don't you listen to Sister Tang's affairs?"

"If you turn the page, don't mention it again."

"Forget it. Today, you have to accompany Lian'er well, and you have to rely on her. ”

"Listen to Madame, I'll accompany you tomorrow."

"No, wait for Lian'er to get pregnant, and there will be time in the future."

Yang Congyi never managed to hug Siyuan at home, and after the last incident, the kid seemed to have regarded him as a wicked person and didn't dare to approach him at all.

The small loss in his heart was dispelled by Lian'er who twisted his waist hard, he didn't want to move very much today, so he let Lian'er get on his body, and he didn't dare to move at first, very restrained, who knew that after moving a few times with his help, he quickly entered the state, and moved involuntarily, between the twists of his waist and limbs, he was addicted to it, and he couldn't extricate himself.

The desire was aroused, Yang Congyi quickly turned over and became the master, and began to fight back violently, giving her color.

Not long after, the wind and rain stopped, and they each collected their troops, and Lian'er became bold and threw herself into the arms of the master.

"Madame wasn't really angry with the lord last time, nor was she jealous, she was just anxious for the lord. Mrs. said that if the lord really wants to marry, she can personally choose a few unmarried women from good families for the lord, and Sister Tang is a little old, which will affect the reputation of the lord. ”

"What do you do when you marry so much, you don't care about it. She is also a hard-working person, and she is my friend, and she has helped me a lot, and I can't help her. Let me tell you the truth, it is enough to have you in this house, you don't need his woman to come in again, you don't think about it all day long. ”

"Yes, master, Lian'er knows that she is wrong."

Lian'er's heart warmed, and as she spoke, she had the courage to put her body close to the master's lower body, slowly twisted it, and gently touched the most sensitive square inch.

In a few breaths, Yang Congyi's evil fire was picked up again, and he had to raise a gun to extinguish the fire and clean her up again.

It wasn't until the two of them were drenched in sweat and had no extra energy that they went to sleep contentedly.

After staying at home for two days, Yang Congyi left again, and his relationship with Gu Qingchen and Lian'er returned to normal, while his son was always reluctant to be close to him.

Shenzhou set sail, left Quanzhou Bay, and headed all the way to the north, aiming at Mingzhou, and the sea ships in Quanzhou Port that belonged to the Huiyi place went to sea with the escort army and headed southeast, and their destination was Liuqiu.

The imperial court wants money and goods, not people, and if you bring too many people back to Mingzhou, Shaoxing, and Lin'an, there will be people in the imperial court who have nothing to do and make up rumors, so it is better to put them all in Liuqiu, far away from the mainland, no matter how many people there are, no one in the court will care, because it is the same as Qiongzhou, it is a wild and smoky place, and even Qiongzhou is not comparable, otherwise such a big place, there will not be only one dying county order in management.

On the way to Mingzhou, Yang Congyi and Lu You checked all the transaction accounts of the fleet in Quanzhou, and the final general ledger was a huge number, which surprised them and made them unbelievable.

A total of 40 ships were shipped from Quanzhou, and the total amount of money obtained was 34,850,000,000 guan, and together with the goods sold in Guangzhou, there were now nearly 40 million guan.

If you count the gold, silver, jewelry, coral jade and other treasures stored on the Shenzhou, the current income has far exceeded 50 million yuan, and the seventy ships of goods that rushed to Mingzhou first are of even higher value.

In short, this time Huiyi should complete the task assigned by the imperial court, and if the transaction in Mingzhou goes well, it is not a problem to make tens of millions of extra money.

Lu You took the accounts, his heart was shocked, he said that the people had no money to pay taxes, the court had no money to allocate funds, and he had never understood where the money went, but now he understood that the money was in the hands of the wealthy businessmen and nobles, and the money was collected by them, so the people had no money, the treasury had no money, the people were poorly clothed and hungry, and the court had no money to build roads and no money for disaster relief.

The Western goods brought back by the fleet are not dared to be seen by ordinary people with high prices, but those rich businessmen and wealthy families can spend a lot of money, and even more, they buy the whole ship directly, and the goods do not need to be loaded and unloaded, and they are directly transported away. But as more and more trades were made, he gradually became numb.

Then a question often comes to mind, how much money is more and how much is less?

He also discussed this matter with Shen Jin, and finally they agreed that there is no question of more or less money, for them, it is enough, and if they really give them millions of taels of silver, they don't know how to spend it, the only way is to take it home, who wants to spend it.

At the same time, another question came to mind, before the Hui Yi fleet came back, where was all the money in the hands of the rich businessmen? Are they all in the cellar? If there is no return, they will hide all the money they have looted at home, and after ten or ten decades, will the people still have money in their hands? Does the imperial court have money in its hands?

That's a problem.

When I was studying in Lin'an and preparing for the scientific examination, I once debated with the students about whether it was reasonable to "hide 10,000 yuan of money from the people, and confiscate it if they did not trade within three years", and I had doubts in my heart at that time, where did the money in the hands of the people come from, where did the money come from, and where did the money flow in the end.

At that time, he couldn't figure it out, but later he went back to the army and went to sea with the ship, so he gradually figured it out.

Now those merchants have taken out a lot of money to buy countless goods, they are bound to raise the price of the strange goods in their hands and sell them, and then recover more money, where did the people who buy goods from them get the money?

There is no doubt that they can't make the money of big businessmen, and can only loot the people at the bottom.

Therefore, such a high price of Western goods will not be of the slightest benefit to ordinary people, but will make greedy people keep looting them in order to obtain enough money to satisfy their selfish desires, bringing them greater pain.

These days, Lu You is tormented in his heart because of this matter, and he doesn't know whether he is right or wrong to go back and forth, he didn't talk to anyone about this issue, after all, once he says it, I'm afraid it will be seen as not supporting Hui Yi. Immediately afterwards, someone will ask, since you don't support Huiyi, why did you go to sea in the first place?

To avoid trouble, he chose to shut up and keep the problem in his heart.

From Quanzhou to Mingzhou, the waterway is less than a thousand miles, and the wind goes north, so you don't need to be in a hurry, and you will arrive in seven or eight days.

There are very few people on Shenzhou who can say a few words to Yang Congyi except Lu You, and he doesn't like to watch dance and listen to music alone, so he often chats with Lu You.

There are many topics that can be discussed, but many times I can't help but talk about Huiyi and the major affairs of the imperial court.

After all, the young Lu You is a scholar, and he has not yet entered the official career, and he can't hide what he has in his heart, Yang Congyi soon realized that his views and attitudes towards Hui Yi were very unfavorable and dangerous to the entire Hui Yi, because he had already begun to doubt Hui Yi in his heart and doubt the significance of them doing these things.

In Yang Congyi's view, making money is small, and it is more important to cultivate an enterprising and adventurous spirit.

Now the Great Song Dynasty is easy, Lin'an sings and dances, high-ranking officials and small people enjoy comfort together, local garrisons no longer train, enjoy peace, and when the crisis comes, where do they still have the courage to resist?

If you can't fight, then go to the sea to adventure, train your troops, and inspire the courage of the accompanying soldiers in the face of strong winds and waves.

However, Yang Congyi couldn't tell him these words, he was afraid that he would get to the bottom of it, and his origin and secrets were really secrets, and he couldn't tell anyone.

In the end, their discussion returned to the original intention of the ocean return, to make money and enrich the treasury.

Yang Congyi gave him an explanation for the concern that the high-priced strange goods brought back by Lu You and the return of Yi could make ordinary people more miserable and poorer.

He told Lu You that the imperial court was short of money and the treasury was empty, so there was a return to the Yi office, and the return to the trade place was to make money for the imperial court, and the court made money the same as the merchants, most of the merchants made money only for future generations, and the court made money to spend it, take the money to do big things, and finally the money earned by the Yi fleet would be returned to the people again through various channels.

Money only makes sense if it is circulated.

On the same day, Yang Congyi talked a lot to Lu You, explaining the meaning of Hui Yi and trade that he understood, and this was the only sentence that Lu You remembered.
