Chen An was stunned again, and then nodded.

"Huh." Liu Yong smiled, "I guess, this is the suggestion of the right prime minister to the saint, and he will come forward to buy the garden with the amount of the loan, and then hand it over to the saint." That way they don't have to pay the interest. ”

Chen An was stunned again, and only then did he feel how reliable Liu Yong's guess was. In fact, that's what the right prime minister did.

"Boss, what you said is not bad at all, but these are all things that my subordinates only heard about later." Chen An said.

"It's just this little trick, hehe, I know the right prime minister too well." Liu Yong said lightly, then changed the conversation, and asked Yue Peng again: "Peng'er, do you know anything about the right prime minister?" ”

"When I go back to my father's words, the child doesn't know much." Yue Peng replied.

Liu Yong nodded again, smiled and said, "That's right, in officialdom, you have to understand all the people, and you don't know all the people." That way, you won't take everything lightly. ”

"Thank you for my father's teachings." Yue Peng said.

"Well, Peng'er, my father asks you, what has become of the imperial court in the past two years? I guess the current court is still the right prime minister. Liu Yong asked.

"My father guessed that he didn't do it at all, and the current court is the court of the right prime minister." Yue Peng said.

Liu Yong asked, "What about you?" ”

"Back to the father, the child is just a monk for a day and hits the clock for a day." Yue Peng's words were a little deflated, but after all, he was facing his father-in-law. To tell the truth is to tell the truth.

Liu Yong can understand the meaning of Yue Peng's words very well, in fact, he can't fight with the right prime minister in the imperial court. Back then, he tried his best to completely defeat the right prime minister. Not to mention such a young Yue Peng.

"Well, then you just keep hitting the bell, you don't have to worry about anything else." Liu Yong said.

"But in such a situation, the child thinks that he is eating a vegetarian meal in the corpse position!" Yue Peng said.

"Huh." Liu Yong smiled, and then said: "Peng'er, if you say something that you don't like for your father, in the current Great Song Dynasty, there are probably not a few people who have the same corpse as you!" ”

Yue Peng nodded, sighed and said, "Father is so right, the current court is the court of his right prime minister." The rest of the courtiers are just walking dead every time they go to court. No matter what kind of suggestion the right prime minister makes, they will all pass it in one go. The child didn't have a chance to argue it. ”

Liu Yong said: "Then you don't have to argue. ”

"But the child doesn't want to just watch the right prime minister mess up the government?" Yue Peng said helplessly.

"Peng'er, for my father to tell you, you will do your official business, and you don't care about anything else." Liu Yong said.

But Yue Peng nodded reluctantly.

At this time, Liu Yong asked again: "Peng'er, have you formed a party?" ”

"The child doesn't dare." Yue Peng said.

"Well, that's fine, don't let anyone else grab the handle. It's nice that you can see the paralysis of the imperial court. In such an environment, you must not try to fight against the right prime minister, you will die a miserable death, do you understand the meaning of being a father? Liu Yong said.

Yue Peng nodded and said, "The child understands his father's hard work, but the court will die if it is in such chaos." ”

Ay! Liu Yong let out a long sigh. After being silent for a long time, he said leisurely: "Peng'er, looking at this, being a father is just as heartbreaking as you!" However, this is something that my father and son can't change. Do you understand? ”

"The child understands." Yue Peng replied.

"Okay, if only you understood." Liu Yong said. "By the way, Chen An, I haven't asked you how the soy sauce business is?"

After hearing this, Chen An sighed and said, "Don't mention the owner, the current imperial court is now a poor livelihood." In this way, the assets of the people disappeared invisibly. Now yes, the rich have become poor. The poor, on the other hand, have become nothing. People have no money, and how many people can afford to eat soy sauce? I can't even afford to eat the miso anymore. Nowadays, it is good to have salt to eat. Ay! ”

Liu Yong had long guessed that there would be such an outcome.

Chen An continued: "Fortunately, in places like Lin'an Mansion, the people are still relatively wealthy, they have more gold and silver in their hands, and they can still afford to eat soy sauce. Smaller states and counties are not good. The sales of soy sauce are plummeting! This has been two years in a row, and sales are only half of what they used to be. I won't hide it from you, this year's income can be one-third of the previous year's high incense. ”

Liu Yong could think of the seriousness of the matter, but he thought that it would be so serious. He couldn't help frowning.

I heard Chen An say again: "Fortunately, the owner is back, and I also want to ask the owner how to maintain our soy sauce business in the future." ”

Liu Yong pondered for a moment and said, "Chen An, you are like this. Tear off all the shops below the county level, including the sauce shop. A settling-in allowance was given to the workers. Then, whether it is a store or a factory, if it is our own, we will sell it. If it is a lease, return it. The main thing is to settle the workers well. They are all people who have followed me Liu Yong for all these years, and I can't treat them badly. Then the state capital should be selectively abolished, for example, rich places like Lin'an Mansion will stay, and some poor places will be decisively abolished. ”

Chen An listened and nodded.

Liu Yong continued: "It's not weak, so be it, you just leave every road of mansions, and all the rest will be abolished." Don't monopolize it in the future. If there are any goods in the following states and counties, they will sell them to them. This will also ensure the sales of soy sauce. It's just that the profit is lower. ”

Chen An nodded and asked, "The owner, what about the Meizhou Monopoly Office?" ”

Liu Yong said decisively: "There is left, and Lin Hualang is in charge there, so I will personally repair a letter to Lin Hualang tomorrow." The whole west was left to him. I mean Chengdu Fu Road, Lizhou Two Road, and Tongchuan Fu Road will all be added to him Lin Hualang. ”

"Gift?" Chen An was a little stunned after listening to Liu Yong's words. But after thinking about it, Lin Hualang is the owner's own family, so it is not surprising that he gave it away.

Then he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand." ”

Liu Yong continued: "You don't have to worry about the sauce shops on those roads. You just dispose of the business elsewhere. If you want to be of a high standard, I mean that if the state capital is not qualified, it must be decisively abolished. ”

Chen An nodded, but his face was full of worry.

When Liu Yong saw it, he asked with a smile, "Chen An, what's wrong with you?" Uncomfortable? ”

Chen An hurriedly smiled and said to Liu Yong: "No, I just feel a little sad." ”
