(Today is still three watches, there are no special circumstances in the future, generally updated at 8 o'clock, 14 o'clock, and 20 o'clock.) Finally, ask for recommendations, ask for favorites! ）

After arguing for several days, the knighthood was finally decided. Jin Yiwei and Zu Runze, who came back from Liaodi, proved that there were indeed only 40,000 stones. As a result, Yang Fan's knighthood was finally finalized in the court. Another thing that shocked the government and the opposition was the corruption case of the Ministry of Industry, and the investigation was even rarer. Up to the Ministry of Works, down to the Wupinlang, was clean. The amount of silver embezzled reached an astonishing one million taels, but this was only on the books, and no one could say how much silver was lost each year due to firearms and gunpowder.

Even Zhou Yanru, who originally spoke for Du Ruhai, was silent. In fact, everyone understands that there are a few people who are really clean and clean in this court. The Ministry of Industry's thorough investigation of the case is not so simple at all, and if such a shoddy munition dares to be delivered like this, the Ministry of Natural War will not escape the blame. This morning, Sun Chengzong pleaded guilty to himself.

It's just that after Du Ruhai's head was found, the corruption case was over. Zhu Youzhen's heart is bright, and he has cleaned up, who will preside over the government affairs of the court. Taking advantage of the fact that the group of officials representing the interests of small landlords in the south of the Yangtze River was in the cold, the reform of the tax law was once again proposed.

The voice of opposition is as small as mosquitoes, the trolls of the six branches are not up, and the six departments are difficult to protect themselves, and no one dares to anger Long Yan at this time. The main ones are the reform of the mining tax, the salt tax and the commercial tax, and the reduction of the agricultural tax and the forced labor. It's just a passing sentence, and Zhu Youzhen also understands that it is definitely not so simple, and it won't be long before the opposition will gradually come out.

Yang Fan came out of the inn, and several tall horses whipped in. The holy decree of the knighthood was officially announced to the world, and Ling Hebo, in the opposition of hundreds of officials, was still awarded to Yang Fan. This title was a little reluctant. There is no kind of congratulatory city, there is no kind of carriage and horses, on the contrary, there is some desertion.

Even the owner of the inn knelt down tremblingly and asked Yang Fan to take care of his family and go out of the house. Suddenly, Yang Fan became the target of the capital's noble circle. Yang Fan, who had no choice but to carry the black box on his back and take Wang Su'er with him, looked for a place to live. There is no way, the lord's mansion doesn't know which mother's belly it is, and Yang Fan is embarrassed to find Zhu Youzhen to ask for a mansion, and in the end, he spent three hundred taels to settle down in an old street.

In all dynasties, the status of merchants was low. The same was true in the Ming Dynasty, however, Yang Fan bought a small store in a street and alley, prepared to start from scratch, picked and chosen, and chose the store here.

The rain was no longer falling, and the sky was still gloomy. Yang Fan boiled the noodles he bought at the street entrance on the humble stove behind the house and divided them into two bowls. I was pleasantly surprised to find green onions on a broken altar, and after sprinkling some green onions, a bowl of hot noodles suddenly became fragrant.

The two sat in front of the threshold, eating noodles. Wang Xu'er obediently held the noodle bowl on her lap, reached into the noodle bowl with chopsticks, and picked up a noodle and sucked it into her mouth. "Brother Yang, are you knighted?"

Yang Fan took a sip of noodle soup, raised his head and looked at the sky, and said, "Sort of." He understands that today's court is not Zhu Youzhen's decision. Reform, how can it be so easy to do. Yang Fan found that the chips in his hand were indeed used too quickly. But the situation hasn't changed much. Plans don't always keep up with change.

"What do you mean?"

Yang Fan glared at Wang Su'er with some annoyance, and said, "Little brat, eat your noodles." Glancing at the dress still in the room, he snorted coldly, smiled and shook his head. I changed my clothes, and I lost my business.

It's about to be the beginning of winter, and this broken shop first sold casseroles. There was no business, and the previous owner had long wanted to sell the shop. The notice had been posted for months, but no one had come to inquire. Three hundred taels is indeed a bit expensive, and it is better to bring a yard and a few rooms in the back. Wang Su'er ate half of it, and then couldn't eat it anymore. looked at Yang Fan and drank the soup silently.

"Eat so much, the cat eats more than you." He took Wang Su'er's bowl and continued to eat. The big yellow croaker, which was dished by this shop, was almost used. Yang Fan just squatted quietly, looked at the stacks of casseroles in the store, and sighed.

After Wang Xu'er recovered from her illness, she had nothing to do, so she sat down and held her chin in a daze.

"Ling Hebo, Yang Zi, majestic!" After inquiring and inquiring, Zu Runze, who finally found Yang Fan's place to stay, took the dress, looked left and right, and was very envious. Wang Su'er hated Zu Runze, and when she saw him coming, she hurried back to the inner room. The shop, which had been silent for a long time, was shaken by Zu Runze, and it suddenly became dusty.

In the end, the two had to go outside to talk.

"Yang Zi, it's really a god. Where did the 10,000 stone forage go? Was it burned? ”

Yang Fan glanced at Zu Runze and said, "Am I so stupid?" Just put it in the Golden Bull Cave. Even if there are 100,000 stones in it, the people sent by the Holy Lord will think that it is 40,000 stones, understand? He suddenly noticed movement next to him, looked at the two storefronts on the left and right that were moving out, and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Zu Runze said with a smile: "The one on the left is from Lao Tzu." There was nothing to do in the army, and after handing over the military order, I took some money and set up a storefront. Boss Yang, I hope to take care of it! Zu Runze hugged his fists in a pretended tone.

"Fuck off, uncle."

Zu Runze smiled and said, "I forgot to tell you." This store also has half of my uncle's silver. He said to the shopkeeper who moved away next to him: "The movements are all sharp, and Lao Tzu still has to sleep at night." ”

"That's ...... over here"

Two familiar voices rang out, but at the moment they changed into ordinary clothes. Liu Hui and Zhang Yao arched their hands and said with a smile: "In the future, the business will have to be carried by Boss Yang." Liu Hui handed a letter to Yang Fan. This shop pù is all holy money......"

After reading the letter, Yang Fan stood silent.

"Yangzi, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you."

"Tell me, what else are you two hiding from me?" Yang Fan knew that he was calculated this time.

"Half of the grain and grass was allocated by the Holy Lord." When he said this, he looked at Yang Fan's face, and he was okay, so he continued: "Also, my father said that he wanted five thousand stones, and my uncle asked me to ask you. Said that you will look at it, and the 2,000 stone millet and barley you want to transport to the capital are already on the way. You have to understand that such a blatant transportation of grain depends on relationships in the middle......"

Yang Fan's face became more and more heavy, these old foxes felt that they were bullying now, and they wanted to squeeze themselves dry, right? "Good, good!" Yang Fan smiled, "You good brother." Lao Tzu is settled. Since my uncle wants grain and grass, five thousand stones, take it. The 10,000 stones of grass sent by Huang Taiji were all pulled to your father. ”

"Huh?" Zu Runze exclaimed, "What about the grain? ”

Yang Fan pulled Zu Runze's face and said, "Grain? Zu Runze, if you still have the cheeks, it's best not to touch the grain of 8,000 stones. This is for the Thirteen Peaks brothers to live, not for me Yang Fan to do it alone. If your good father accepts this 10,000 stones, we will still be good brothers. If you still want to pay attention to the 8,000 stone grain, don't blame your brother for being ruthless! Yang Fan put down his cruel words, loosened Zu Runze's collar, and walked into the store angrily, he was really good at being bullied.

Liu Hui and Zhang Yao raised their eyebrows, indicating that they had nothing to do, and hurriedly entered the house. Prepare for the task assigned by the Holy Majesty. Zu Runze called this a heart stopper, and said to himself: "Why is it Lao Tzu's turn to do the broken things that are not people outside here." ”
