"Ye Hong, how is the family's business now?"

I haven't seen him for nearly a year, Ye Hong has lost a lot of weight, and he stands in front of Yang Yansi, like a hemp stalk.

He slumped his waist and said with a smile: "Back to the young master, the business of the greenhouse at home has been going on in Bianjing, and there are tens of thousands of taels of silver every year. The young lady used all the money earned from the greenhouse to subsidize the family.

At present, the only thing we can do in the East Courtyard of Yangfu is the business of the wine workshop.

Since the young lady brewed the hot and spicy soju, with the help of the Cao family, the sales of soju have been opened.

At present, in the northeast and northwest, there is a large demand for soju, and the supply exceeds the demand.

Last year, our liquor workshop expanded 20 times, with a profit of nearly one million taels.

When the villain came to the south this time, the young lady had already ordered someone to exchange one million taels of silver for gold leaves, and ordered the villain to bring it to the young master.

In addition, there are a total of 1,037 wine shop guys, shopkeepers, branch shopkeepers, and brewers who came to the south with the villain this time.

Now these men are all in Miza City, waiting for the young master to dispatch. ”

Yang Yansi listened attentively, and only after Ye Hong's report was finished, did he speak out and encourage: "Ye Hong, I haven't seen you for a year, you have lost a lot of weight, not to mention more than 20 pounds, which shows that you have been busy this year."

Your merits have been recorded by the young master, and when it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds, your share of benefits is indispensable.

Even if you want to be an official, Young Master Ben can let you get your wish......"

When Ye Hong heard this, he poofed, knelt directly on the ground, gave a big gift to Yang Yansi, and was moved: "The villain must be loyal to repay the young master's kindness." ”

Yang Yansi glanced at Ye Hong, and said angrily: "In this southern country, there is no worship ceremony. This person can't kneel, let alone get used to kneeling. After kneeling for a long time, my knees become weak, and I can no longer stand up. ”

Ye Hong stood up, not ashamed of his kneeling, but said with a smile: "The villain was reckless for a while, don't blame the young master." ”

Yang Yansi waved his hand, pointed to the table and chair beside him, and motioned for Ye Hong to sit down.

Ye Hong sat lightly on the chair, his butt was only on the edge of the chair, but he did not sit deeply.

casually picked up a seasonal fruit from the south of the country from the table and threw it to Ye Hong, Yang Yansi said: "I remember that you sold yourself to the Cao family, and later Cao Lin married into the Yang Mansion, and your deed of sale also went to the Yang Mansion with Cao Lin." Hurry up Ming'er, I'll send a letter to Cao Lin and ask him to burn your deed of sale, and you will be free in the future. ”

Ye Hong had just received the fruit rewarded by Yang Yansi, and he was still a little happy in his heart, and when he heard Yang Yansi's words, he immediately stood up and knelt down in front of Yang Yansi with a puff.

"Young Master...... Young master, is the villain ineffective, do you want to get rid of the villain? ”

"If there is anything wrong with the villain, young master, you will make it clear, and the villain will change ...... immediately"

Yang Yansi couldn't cry or laugh, "Lao Tzu just saw that you did your best for me, so I wanted to give you a chance to be free, and I didn't mean anything else." Don't you even want freedom anymore? ”

Ye Hong's answer was beyond Yang Yansi's expectations, and in the face of the question of freedom, Ye Hong almost didn't even think about it, and shook his head decisively.

"Young master, the villain doesn't want any freedom. The villain just wants to take refuge under the young master's door and do things for the young master. ”

Yang Yansi was dumbfounded, and said in amazement: "Ye Hong, are you stupid?" Don't want to be free, would you rather be a slave? ”

Cao Yunsheng, who had been standing aside without saying a word, suddenly spoke.

"Uncle, this little old man is not stupid at all......

Yang Yansi was puzzled, "How do you say this?" ”

Cao Yunsheng bowed slightly, stepped forward, and tried to get closer to Yang Yansi, and then said: "Uncle, I am from the Cao family, and since the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, I have been in charge of the Cao family's business.

Like Ye Hong, there are countless people who are willing to abandon their freedom and attach themselves to the families of the powerful.

At this moment, outside the store, many of the shopkeepers of the Cao family standing basically took the initiative to attach themselves to the Cao family. ”

"Active attachment?"

Yang Yansi frowned, Cao Yunsheng wanted to speak out and continue to solve Yang Yansi's doubts, but Yang Yansi refused.

Yang Yansi muttered: "I think I probably understand why these people abandon their freedom and take the initiative to attach themselves to the family of the powerful. ”

Yang Yansi sighed, "Shinong industry and commerce, businessmen and merchants in the Great Song Dynasty are almost no different from lowly people. has no status, but is good at accumulating wealth. When there is a lot of money, it is envied by others, and it is easy to be swallowed by others with money.

Therefore, if you want to do business in the Great Song Dynasty, you must have a solid backer.

Am I right? ”

Cao Yunsheng and Ye Hong bowed to Yang Yansi together, and exclaimed, "Young Master (Uncle) Shengming." ”

Yang Yansi rolled his eyes, "Don't deal with me like you did against the Great Song Emperor." This is the southern country, not the Great Song Dynasty, I don't eat that. ”

Yang Yansi walked to Ye Hong's side and said solemnly: "Ye Hong, you remember, in the future, Nanguo will be your base camp for business." In the southern country, regardless of high and low, regardless of industry, there are only two kinds of people in the whole country.

One was a southern national, and the other was a slave.

As long as you are a national of the Southland, and obey the law, you pay the commercial tax in full. Then, no one in this country can use any means to take away a penny of your property.

As long as someone dares to reach out, I will not hesitate to cut off his hand.

Not anyone, not even if he is the lord of the country. ”

Ye Hong looked at Yang Yansi with a stunned expression, and Cao Yunsheng was a little dazed.

Yang Yansi sighed and said in a deep voice: "Three days later, I will erect a law stone at the main gate of the palace, and there are some laws that I will engrave on the law stone." Among them is the question of merchants. ”

Ye Hong and Cao Yunsheng glanced at each other, didn't say a word, just bowed to Yang Yansi.

This bow has nothing to do with intimacy, just two merchants, in place of all the merchants in the southern realm, to pay tribute to an enlightened ruler.

After the salute, Ye Hong straightened his waist and said loudly: "If the young master really sets this kind of law and records it on the law stone, the villain is willing to get rid of his slavery and become a subject of the southern country." ”

Yang Yansi nodded with satisfaction, stepped forward, and patted Ye Hong's shoulder, "This is like a man." There should be no slaves in our southern country, and even if there is, it can only be an employment relationship, not a life and death agreement.

You must remember that in our southern country, except for the slaves of prisoners of war, the rest are subjects of the southern country. All the subjects of the southern kingdom have no distinction between high and low. ”

Ye Hong's heart shook, and he pondered for a long time before he asked a word.

"Is it the same with royalty?"
