There is only one dragon chair for the emperor, and since the crown prince is established, the other princes have no chance, and the rich idlers are their best end.

Ye Hua can accept the second prince, and train him well, let him become a talent, and the Chai family will have descendants, which can not only make up for the debt in Chai Rong's heart, but also comfort Chai Shouli's lonely heart, which is really a double win.

Some people may want to ask, Fu San also has a child in his belly, and if he has an apprentice, what should he do if he neglects a small thing! In fact, there is no need to worry about the little guy at all, Ye Hua still has a title, and there are a lot of things that can be inherited by him, it depends on the interest of the little guy.

And this is also Ye Hua's initial idea, how to develop depends on the child himself.

For example, Brother Guo Xing, Ye Hua hopes that he will learn to do business, but Brother Guo Xingge's interest is all in mathematics, physics and chemistry, he made a waterwheel for irrigation, and made a water air conditioner, and recently the little guy's interest has shifted to gunpowder, I heard that he runs to the champion square every day, and the dumb man is frightened, for fear that His Royal Highness will be injured at all, and he can't afford it.

The dumb man specially sent two people to take care of Guo Xingge, only to watch, not to touch.

Even if he was restricted, Guo Xingge was happy to do it, and vowed to build the most powerful firearm in the world.

Ye Hua respects children's ideas very much, as long as he likes them, he will do whatever he wants.

At present, we still have to deal with the affairs of Jiangnan, after all, we have just conquered such a large piece of land, and there is nothing to be done, and it is urgent. The wonderful thing is that the quickest way to restore Jiangnan is to put the silk industry that Li Hongji messed up back into operation.

Don't look at Li Hongji making a mess, but what he did, after all, stirred up a pool of spring water and chiseled a breakthrough...... The greatest credit of this Southern Tang Dynasty queen is actually to reduce the difficulty of changing the law in the Great Zhou, and the prince of Hongji has a spirit in the sky, and he doesn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"The workshop of the official camp belongs to the palace, and Mrs. Chai is temporarily in charge. The workshops controlled by the great families were valued and resold to other merchants, who operated legally. ”

Ye Hua found that the ancient scholars were really cows!

With fame, you can carry a certain amount of goods, travel long distances, and do not need to pay taxes along the way. This provision was originally made in view of the fact that officials had to change their official positions regularly, travel from place to place, and carry some belongings with them, and in order to facilitate the relocation of officials, they were exempted from taxes.

But when it was actually implemented, it quickly went out of shape.

Under the pretext of tax exemption, officials carry goods in a big way, or simply count the goods of other merchants in their own names, and evade taxes openly.

Others are even more rampant, allowing their subordinates to use their own banners to traffic goods over long distances and evade taxes.

All in all, taxation is like a big net, and there can be no exceptions, otherwise nothing will be gained.

The big families, bureaucrats and wealthy businessmen, they are directly involved in the operation, not only do they evade taxes seriously, but they also bully others and oppress the mulberry households.

There are a lot of things that the imperial merchants do, but the scale is much smaller, but there are more ants, and they can also bite and kill elephants, and dozens of families can get together, and the harm is even greater than that of the imperial merchants!

Chai Rong is the most sensitive to taxes, and His Majesty the Emperor pursues a principle, that is, no one should try to take advantage of him!

Tax evasion?

Not a penny!

Chai Rong decisively decreed that the silk workshop confiscated from the hands of the big family was resold to ordinary merchants, there is no doubt that this is a windfall from heaven, and the merchants in Jiangnan are crazy.

The sensitive Su merchants were the first to rush to Jinling, followed by Zhejiang merchants and Fujian merchants, and even Lingnan merchants came to join in the fun.

Who doesn't know that silk is profitable, and it is also profitable, and a shipload of silk can be exchanged for half a shipload of silver.

In the past, there was a monopoly of imperial merchants, and there were major families below, they controlled the mulberry field with their left hand, and controlled the workshop with their right hand, from planting mulberry and raising silkworms, to weaving silk and spinning, and then to overseas sales, all the links, they grasped all the links, plus all the tax exemptions in the process, ordinary small businessmen, there was no way to compete.

Now the Great Zhou Tianzi has completely broken the situation, the big bureaucrats of the great family have lost the advantage of land, the price of raw silk raw materials is basically the same, and all workshops pay taxes as one. It is equivalent to putting all businessmen on the same starting line.

This is unprecedented!

People in this place in the south of the Yangtze River seem to be born to do business, Su businessmen, Fujian businessmen, Zhejiang businessmen, one is more shrewd and stronger than the other, has momentum, dare to think and dare to do.

They have already calculated, and after taking over the workshop, they will immediately expand the scale, throw off their arms, and do a big job...... Everyone else is busy, and as a goddess of wealth, Fu San's plan is even earlier.

She also bought three workshops, adding up to 500 looms.

To put it mildly, this number is too small to be completely inconsistent with the handwriting of the goddess of wealth.

In fact, Fu San didn't plan to make silk money.

"If you weave more silk, you have to export more goods, and the next hottest thing is not the workshop, but the ship!" Fu San chuckled and said: "I judge that the price of ships will skyrocket in the future, you think, to transport people abroad, sell silk, and bring back overseas grain and local products, all need ships." The profit of shipbuilding will be several times more than that of silk. In addition, the risks at sea are very high, and the ability to protect oneself must be achieved, and the demand for weapons will become very staggering. ”

Fu San said with a smile: "I have invested in the Jiaozhou Shipyard, and I am also preparing to build a Yangtze River Shipyard in Liujiagang, and I will also build an ordnance workshop to undertake foreign arms exports." And then there's the need to build a machine shop to produce better textile machines......"

Fu San smiled and told Miss Han what to do next.

Miss Han was stunned when she heard this, she once thought that a woman who knew poetry and songs, knew how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, played and sang, knitted female red, and knew all these was already amazing, enough to be a talented girl.

But compared with Fu San in front of him, it is simply a difference between cloud and mud, and his vision and open-mindedness are too different. Miss Han secretly calculated that any woman in the world would be ashamed of herself in the face of her, no wonder Ye Hua would die to the ground, and even promised to be the only one in this life, it turned out that she earned it herself!

"Madam, you are really a heroine, give us women a face!" Miss Han had gold stars in her eyes, and she almost became a fan of Fu San.

Fu San chuckled, "Speaking of which, it's all big talk, whether it can be done or not depends on Annan's side, as long as General Ren can win the battle and knock on Annan's door, my plan can be implemented smoothly, otherwise it's all just a fantasy." ”

At the mention of her husband, Miss Han immediately cheered up, perhaps the only thing she was proud of now was the seemingly rude husband.

Her eyes were firm, "I believe that Lang Jun will do it!" ”

……

Half a month after Ren Tianxing got married, he led his fleet south, and he set off with two uncles, as well as Liu Chuang, a water thief in Taihu Lake!

It's a shame to say that there are thousands of elite soldiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but those who are familiar with water warfare are a pirate and a water thief!

Moreover, although the area of Taihu Lake is vast, it is not as good as the sea.

The waves are rough and magnificent.

Liu Chuang's first few days were very uncomfortable. There is no fresh water at sea, and the clean water carried will deteriorate even if you don't drink it after a few days, so the sailors at sea quench their thirst with rice wine, and almost every sailor is a big wine bag, drunk every day.

In addition, there are no vegetables on the sea, and you can only eat bean sprouts every day, mung bean sprouts today, soybean sprouts tomorrow, Liu Chuang, who eats them, wants to vomit when he sees bean sprouts.

Fortunately, before leaving, Ye Hua prepared a few wooden boxes for them, loaded them with soil, and then transplanted some vegetables that had already blossomed and fruited.

Although the fresh water is spoiled, it is still okay to water the vegetables.

Liu Chuang was cautious, as if he was serving a baby, watering the cucumber beans, and finally, the gherkins grew to five inches long, and he couldn't wait to pull them off and stuffed them into his mouth.

Eating fragrant and delicious cucumbers, this is the taste of happiness, Liu Chuang even thinks that even if he dies now, it is worth it!

Finally, after a difficult voyage, they were getting closer and closer to Annan, and the compass provided by Ye Hua helped the fleet a lot, and Ren Tianxing calculated that he saved at least half of the sailing time.

Annam is close at hand!

Since Qin Shi Huang, Annam has belonged to the Central Plains Dynasty for more than 1,000 years, during which although it has undergone a change of dynasty, and Annam has often rebelled, but in general, Annam is the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty.

However, with the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Lingnan region was under the control of the Southern Han, and the weak Southern Han was unable to control Jiaozhou, and the local people rebelled frequently.

Twenty years ago, a man named Wu Quan defeated the army of the Southern Han Dynasty, occupied Jiaozhou, and established himself as king.

Since he did not have a founding name, he was simply called the Wu Dynasty.

This also became the beginning of Annam's secession from the Central Plains Dynasty.

Now that Wu Quan is dead, his son Wu Changwen ascended to the throne after disposing of the third brother of the powerful minister Yang.

"I said Master Ren, uh no, it's General Ren, how are you going to fight?"

Ren Tianxing heard Liu Chuang's question and his eyes widened.

"What's how to fight, just one word: do!"

Ren Tianxing said so and did so, he led the fleet to take the mouth of the Baiteng River, where the Annan people had fought with the Southern Han sailors twenty years ago, and won a big victory.

They planted wooden stakes at the mouth of the river to prevent large ships from intruding.

Ren Tianxing didn't care, his big ships were equipped with copper ramming horns, and he directly rushed through the wooden stakes, holding back the soldiers all the way, screaming, and rushed onto the land of Annan.

There was nothing fancy, Ren Tianxing asked people to carry the bed crossbow ashore and accompany the army forward. All the way to Daluo City, during which Wu Changwen continuously sent troops to block it, but was defeated by Ren Tianxing.

In the end, he personally led 20,000 people to a decisive battle with the Zhou soldiers.

Compared to the huge battle in the Central Plains, this battle is simply lackluster.

The Annan soldiers lurked and followed, rushing towards Da Zhou, hundreds of bed crossbows kept shooting, and one by one the Annan soldiers fell to death - like a leek!

Wu Changwen disagreed with Da Zhou's crossbow arrows, and personally stepped forward to supervise the battle, and when he was screaming, an arrow pierced the neck of his war horse, and then slashed through the root of his thigh, and one leg fell neatly to the ground.

The king of Annam screamed in pain and fell straight to the ground, and the corpse of his horse fell with it, crushing him in the muddy water......
