"Official, you are really too kind to the nobles, and it is really a blessing for the nobles to have an emperor like the official family." After Xu Huizu and the others left, Lu Yi stepped forward to pour tea for Yun Xi first, and then couldn't help but say while beating his back.

"Haha." Yun Xi smiled a few words and did not speak. Not only because there is no need to talk to Lu Yi, but also because he can't understand what he says, and he wastes his tongue. If Wenyuan was fifteen or sixteen years old at this time, he would definitely take Wenyuan with him and let him observe the whole process, and then explain the truth to him in detail; But Wenyuan is only eight years old now, and he is still a virtual age, and he can't understand it, so he can only stop.

But in fact, the truth is very simple, and it is what the Chinese political textbooks talk about: the superstructure is compatible with the economic base.

From ancient times to the present day, from the middle to the outside, the ruling class has always held the vast majority of the total wealth of the country, and no country is an exception. If the status quo and the system do not allow them to do so, they will find ways to circumvent the system and end up making the rules useless.

Yun Xi had already chosen the aristocracy as his allies to rule the country, that is, the aristocracy was included in the scope of the ruling class. Repeating, the superstructure is adapted to the economic base, and since the aristocracy is already the ruling class, they must seek sufficient wealth as an economic base to adapt to the superstructure.

If he still adheres to the original system, the state, in fact, the imperial family represented by the emperor, owns the profiteering industries such as salt and iron, there will be two situations: first, they enter the downstream industry and use the power in their hands to squeeze private merchants, so as to obtain huge profits; The second is to collude with the managers of state-owned industries inside and outside, to the detriment of the public and private interests, and even to become the managers of state-owned industries themselves, and to seek more direct profits.

The former case is the Song Dynasty. The emperor of the Song Dynasty ruled the world with scholars, but the salt, iron, wine and other industries were controlled by the imperial court, so they occupied the land on the one hand, and grabbed the market by unscrupulous means in the downstream industry on the other hand. In the Song Dynasty, there was a general named Liu Guangshi, who once used 8,000 soldiers to transport goods for his own business, and he was very proud of himself as the 'contemporary Tao Zhu Gong'.

I won't talk much about the latter situation, and everyone must understand which era it is.

Neither of these situations can be allowed to happen. In the short term, due to the inconsistency between the actual economic situation of the country and the system, the economic system is useless, which is tantamount to encouraging the magnates and officials to undermine the national system and damage the interests of the state; In the long run, if the crony economy oppresses private capital, making it impossible for a free market to emerge, the country will always be trapped in a vicious circle and unable to develop further. It is said that the Song Dynasty or the end of the Ming Dynasty in history can develop capitalism, but it is impossible for the crony economy to develop capitalism. Before the Opium War, China had only one weak chance to develop capitalism, and that was to complete the unification of the country at the end of the Ming Dynasty with the Zheng family as the representative of the maritime merchant class.

Therefore, Yun Xi can only take the initiative to give the nobles a channel to obtain huge wealth, so that they can temporarily be satisfied with their current wealth, and take the opportunity to set the country's economic system, leaving a relatively free market for private merchants and a channel for investment and wealth. It's not that he's nice to the nobles, it's that he has to.

And now among the several profiteering businesses controlled by the state, Yun Xi decided to hand over the steel industry to the nobles after thinking. The steel industry has high investment and high returns, and the larger the scale, the greater the income, which is suitable for the richest aristocratic children in the Ming Dynasty; The other two important profiteering businesses were winemaking and salt, which he intended to be completely open to the people, while salt remained under the control of the state, one was still an important source of income, and the other was an auxiliary means of counting the country's population.

The above content flashed in Yun Xi's head, and he immediately came back to his senses and scolded with a smile: "What do you know!" Mouthy here! He also said: "You go down and ask the guards to go to the Princess Ningguo Mansion and the Zhou Palace, and call my second aunt and Youstew, I have something to tell them." ”

"Official, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Ningguo should be in the women's academy in the imperial city now." Lu Yi first agreed, and then said carefully.

"I forgot." Yun Xi patted his head: "I forgot that the girls' school is closed in the middle of the month, not every Friday, so they still go to school today." The second aunt should also be in school. Then you can go by yourself and go to the girls' school to invite the second aunt to come. ”

Lu Yi promised again, and he was about to retreat. But Yunxi suddenly stopped him again, thought for a while and said: "You are going, and I will say to all the gentlemen and students of the women's school, I have a message, from this month, the women's school will be changed to two days off in January, three days off on the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth of each month, and two or three days off on the twenty-eighth, twenty-ninth and thirtieth days (some months do not have 30 days). In July, you can take a full month off for a whole month to escape the heat. ”

"In addition, let the second aunt and Youyou stew enter the palace when it is time to eat at noon, and go to Kunning Palace, I want to chat with them while eating."

"Yes, official."

……

……

"Daddy!" Seeing his father coming home from duty, Tang Sai'er jumped over and shouted.

"Good daughter." Tang Jingyu said with a smile first, then noticed the new clothes on her body, her face suddenly became surprised, and asked his wife He Miao, "What's going on?" How did you buy such a good fabric to make clothes for her? ”

"This is not what our family bought, this is the second young master in the mansion." He Miao said.

"How can the second young master reward our family with such a good fabric? Won't it be? He suddenly became worried, looked at his wife carefully, felt that it was not like it, and looked at his daughter again.

"Where do you want to go!" He Miao knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw his eyes, and hurriedly said: "If the second young master really has that kind of thought, even if I die on the pillar, I can't let them succeed; Sai'er is so small, how can it be as you think! ”

"What's going on?"

"It was Sai'er who chose the eldest lady's side to read, so the second young master rewarded something."

"Sai'er chose the eldest lady's side?" Surprised, Tang Jingyu's voice became much louder: "What the hell is going on?" ”

He Miao knew that he had been sent out to escort the housekeeper in the house to the countryside on a business trip the day before yesterday, and now he came back and didn't know what was going on, and explained: "Not long after you escorted the housekeeper out of the house, Gonggong Deng came to the courtyard where our people lived, saying that the second young master's daughter is also seven years old this year, and she wants to start studying, and she will choose two little girls of similar age to study with her. ”

"I didn't want Sai'er to run, but our Sai'er is so lively and good-looking, so I was remembered by Gonggong Deng, and I had to run for Sai'er. I couldn't say no, I had to say yes. ”

"I thought that there were so many people in the house, and it was easy to pick out two little girls who were more in line with their hearts, but I didn't want Sai'er to be selected in the end."

She was also taken to meet the two young masters in the mansion, and even met His Majesty today, and His Majesty also rewarded her with something. After that, let Sai'er come back first, and when the gentleman who was invited came in a few days, he went to accompany the eldest lady to study. ”

"She has met His Majesty today!" Tang Jingyu, who didn't know that he had also seen it, was even more surprised and shouted.

"Yes."

"This!" Tang Jingyu didn't know what to say. They lurked into Beijing in order to find ways to pass on the news and work hard to overthrow the Ming Dynasty. But his daughter met the emperor and was rewarded by the emperor. "It's so, I never thought there would be anything like this."

"Who's to say it isn't." He Miao also said. Even after knowing it for a day and a night, she was still surprised.

"By the way, not only that, but Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the eldest daughter of His Majesty, also said that she had an eye for Sai'er and gave Sai'er a jade pendant. That jade pendant can be sold for at least hundreds of dollars, and everyone is envious of Sai'er. She added.

This time, Tang Jingyu didn't know what to say. The situation of their family after entering Beijing is really good, if they really just want a stable life, there is no more happy than this. But the purpose of their entry into Beijing ......

"Well, one step at a time. We are just pawns, and the pawns in the hands of the people above us are useless if we think too much. After a while, Tang Jingyu said: "Miao'er, you write a letter, write down all these things, and send him the letter when the person sent to contact him arrives in the capital." We must be honest with Brother Xu. The four families they came to the capital knew about this, and if he didn't say it, others would say it, so it was better to be honest with himself.

"I knew I would do it, and the letter has been written, waiting to be shown to you." He Miao took out a letter and handed it to him.

Tang Jingyu looked at it and felt that there was no problem, so he handed it back to her: "Keep it and don't lose it." ”

"The jade pendant that Princess Celestia gave to Sai'er, don't place it randomly, find a place to hide it. In the future, it may be useful. ”

"Got it." He Miao put away the letter, saw that there was nothing to say, glanced at her daughter, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, don't talk about this." Look at Sai'er, you don't dare to speak. ”

"It's Daddy, it's not right." Tang Jingyu took off his coat and picked up Tang Sai'er and said to her: "I just care about talking to your mother and forget about you." ”

Tang Sai'er Shicai has been staying aside honestly, not disturbing the conversation between her parents that she can't understand, and seeing that they are no longer talking, she smiled again: "Dad, my daughter forgives you." ”

"Sai'er is really Daddy's own daughter!" Tang Jingyu praised her, and said: "Today and tomorrow, Daddy has a two-day holiday, do you want to take a walk in the capital?" ”

"Yes!" Tang Sai'er said immediately.

"Okay, I'll ask Mo Li if they will rest tomorrow and take a walk around the capital tomorrow. In the future, whenever your father is resting, as long as you are free, your father will take you around the city. ”

"Daddy is so nice." Tang Sai'er said happily.

'Daddy is just trying to make it up to you. Tang Jingyu said in his heart.
