Today's saint ascended the throne at the age of four, and now it has been 12 years, these years, the queen mother has controlled the government, is in charge of the world's major affairs, and has reused her mother's family as an official, resulting in the Yin family in the court saying one and no one dares to say two, which will inevitably cause many old ministers to be dissatisfied.

Especially in the area south of the Yangtze River, this is the origin of the Huang family, when Ning Taizu rebelled, if it weren't for the help of the local scholars, how could the Huang family be today!

Although Ning Taizu later used the hand of King Huan to show them a knife and washed many scholars with blood, but they also blamed these scholars for not being long-sighted and self-righteous, either asking for the title of king, or asking for fiefdom, and really regarded the world of the Huang family as a big man.

Besides, even if it is a big man, there is such a thing as Han Xin, you don't have Han Xin's ability but dare to invite Han Xin's great achievements, what is it not looking for death?

Of course, many of the more low-key scholars still received unimaginable benefits, which is why there is no land for farmers in this part of Jiangnan, because it is all given to these scholars.

Therefore, everyone is still grateful to Dade, but now, the Queen Mother is really chilling to do this!

Especially the first emperor, that is, the eldest son of Taizu, ascended the throne for less than a year, suddenly died violently, and even left no descendants, and after that, the third brother who was valued by the first emperor was originally the most promising to inherit the unification, but somehow, when he rushed to the capital from the fiefdom, he actually fell into the river, and now even the corpse capital has not been found!

And among the remaining princes, either they have bad character, or they are lazy and lazy, they only want the glory, but they don't want the state affairs, and finally choose to choose, and the old ministers feel that they are not from those princes who are not good in character and are lazy to eat. It's better for them to cultivate one, so they took a fancy to Huang Jin, the eleventh son who had just turned four. And the previous Yin Guifei was also naturally promoted to the queen mother.

Because the Yin family was just an ordinary scholar clan at that time, no one treated them as dishes. In this way, in terms of state affairs and the education of the little emperor, it is not up to them, the old ministers, to say it.

However, I don't know when, as these old ministers walked and died, the Yin family suddenly became powerful!

And the Jiangnan people, who regard themselves as being in the same vein as Taizu, even if they can't suppress the Yin family in the court, they must not let the Yin family get involved in the affairs of Jiangnan, otherwise Daning is the final say of the Huang family. Or is it what your Yin family says?

Now that Taiping Dao has suddenly preached in Jiangnan, the local scholars naturally think that it is the queen mother's instigation, if even Jiangnan is thoroughly understood by her, who can be sure that she will not replace her? Let the descendants of the Yin family become emperors?

There have been usurpations in a certain dynasty since ancient times, and the Yin family does not dare now, because there are too many forces opposing them in the south.

Therefore, although some scholars hate Dong Ce, some scholars agree with it because they have made money. As for whether the result will allow Taiping Dao to infiltrate Jiangnan and cause the people of Jiangnan to move closer to the Queen Mother, it doesn't matter to them, after all, it's now. Who can stop it?

Therefore, what should be anxious now is not to suppress the merchants, but to deal with the Taiping Dao, and not to be in a hurry. Basically, they all send people to participate in the and Fengyun meeting!

The material is still rising, the difference is. The people don't care so much anymore because they focus on rice and salt. Although the price of rice and salt has not soared in a straight line, it has also risen by two percent, because it is the New Year's Festival, and the people do not know whether it is because of the New Year, or because of the high price of materials.

"Already, timber has risen sixfold, stone has risen fourfold, cloth has tripled, and ironstone and copper ore has risen by seven or eight percent...... If this continues, I am afraid that the average price of goods in the entire Jiangnan will have to double. Meng Feng was talking on the stage in the art hall theater, and below, nearly 100 partners were listening.

"Now the price of grain is ready to double, this is only the beginning of spring, and there is still more than half a year to wait for the autumn harvest, I am worried that there will be chaos!" Zhang Tan said aloud with a worried voice.

Zhang Tan used to be a grain merchant, because his grain was from the hands of the scholars, everything depends on the eyes of others, so after coming to the art garden, he gradually moved his main business to pastries, but whether it is grain or pastries, it is really not a good thing for the current situation, the grain has risen and he may be able to earn more, but the pastries are no longer cared for, so now it is a loss or a gain, and there is no accurate amount.

"That's true, after the material rises, the business of my Lan Fan Workshop has almost lost seventy percent, if it weren't for the money invested in the material and made a lot of money, the concubine would not dare to participate anymore!" Mei Niangzi sighed lightly.

Dong Ce sat on the VIP seat, playing with a small teacup in his hand, but his ears were listening to the discussion of the partners, and after a long time, he suddenly said: "Now we are speculating, the price is bound to soar, but it is still under control, and now, I plan to put all the funds that can be used in the art garden to the field, I don't know if you have any ideas?" ”

"Out of town?" Everyone looked sideways, and after making sure that it was Dong Ce who was speaking, some people immediately lowered their eyebrows and thought, and some people gathered face to face, and they couldn't figure out what trick Dong Ce was going to play for a while?

"Dong Yilang Mo doesn't want to transport goods from other places to Jiangnan?" Lu Kexuan frowned.

"That's right!" Dong Ce nodded, got up and walked onto the stage, and explained loudly to nearly 100 partners in the audience: "Although only the prices in Nanjing, Jiangsu, and Shanghai have risen in Jiangnan now, the rise will soon spread to Hangzhou, Yang, Hui, and even beyond, so we have to take advantage of the fact that they have not raised the price before they scrape all the scrapes back, and for those who are slow to produce, they can negotiate a contract and set a dead price, as for whether the goods shipped back can be sold, you don't have to worry about this, as long as you are willing to give some blood, our return will be immeasurable!" ”

Everyone was both shocked and delighted, now that they have tasted the sweetness, they naturally want to continue to grow bigger, but what is the blood of Dong Ce's words? Besides, do you say that the goods shipped back are sold when they are sold? That will make the people as if they were!

Wang Fuyan stared at Dong Ce on the stage for a while, and suddenly said: "Dong Yilang, I heard that the salary of your art garden has increased twice as much, no matter how long or short you work, but is there such a thing?" ”

"If I don't give them a wage increase, they won't even be able to eat, so where will they have the strength to help me do things."

Dong Ce's words made everyone understand what the so-called blood meant.

"Dong Yilang, I don't know if the salary you gave your guy is temporary or will it be the same in the future?" A middle-aged wealthy businessman frowned.

They all know that the wages of the art garden are already very high, and they heard that there is also a bonus system, which leads to the fact that even a person who works in the theater has a monthly salary comparable to that of some skilled craftsmen!

This makes many people red-eyed, and more people want to drill into the art garden, but the standard of recruitment in the art garden is not a little high, but very high, almost to the point of nitpicking.

Now, Dong Ce actually said that it has risen again, and it has doubled, so what will the craftsmen under them think? (To be continued.) )
