Old Man Shen smiled and said: "Of course, everyone thinks that this proposal is very good, if you can concentrate your efforts on dredging the canal, and then determine the cost in a unified manner, the annual income will at least double." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Qin Lei listened with a smile, knowing that this was the desire to suppress the first Yang, and the focus was on the back. Sure enough, Old Man Shen changed his words and said: "The so-called four big families of the canal, but what really gets on the table, that is, our family and the Xu family, the Gongsun family and the Qu family in the middle, are tied together, and their strength is not as good as half of our family." The council has some opinions about being on an equal footing with these two. ”

Afraid that Qin Lei would have an idea, the old man hurriedly cleared his eyes and said: "The old man supports His Highness, but the affairs of our Shen family are not up to me alone, and I still have to make the final decision in the council." ”

Qin Lei nodded understandingly, and said with a smile: "Grandpa is too careful, and the child still knows what to do." In fact, he knew that it wasn't that the old man couldn't figure it out, but he just used the council hall to prevaricate.

Old Man Shen patted his chest and smiled: "As long as Your Highness can help the old man come up with an explanation, the council hall will be handed over to me." ”

Qin Lei took a sip of the teacup and said with a smile: "That yamen is called Qinghe Yamen, and Gu initially plans to be led by the royal government, and the four of you will join the shipping, and the silver from the dredging will be taken out of the income of Caoyun, and the surplus income will be divided according to the proportion of shares." It sounds like you're splitting it evenly, but it's not......"

Old Man Shen smiled and said, "I want to hear about it." ”

Qin Lei said: "Let my grandfather ask me a question first, our family occupies the convenience of shipping, why is it only for other companies to transport and circulate, but not to purchase and ship goods ourselves?" ”

Old Man Shen groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "Well, on the one hand, because of the trading of goods, it is inevitable that there will be losses and gains, and with this risk in it, it is better to do shipping to Ansheng." He said with a smile: "Especially the canal shipping, there is no wind, no waves, no reefs, as long as the two official and bandit families are sent away, there will be no mistakes over the years, and it is better to be safe." ”

Qin Lei smiled and said, "It's that simple? ”

Old Man Shen shook his head and said, "Of course not, in fact, as long as some things are transported from the south to the north, or from the north to the south, they will not lose money." For example, the cabbage in the north costs a penny a tree in the central capital, and it costs 200 wen to transport it to the south, even if the quantity is too much, it will not wipe off a hundred wen. ”

Qin Lei opened his mouth and said, "At least a hundred times?" Then I can transport Chinese cabbage directly, what kind of Silk Road are I working on? ”

Shen Wei sneered and said, "As soon as I heard His Highness say this, I knew that you were not good at money. ”

Qin Lei laughed and said: "Don't hide it from my uncle, I only figured out what the concept of one million taels is last year, and I thought that if it was a rich man's family, it would be at least this number." ”

The Shen father and son couldn't help laughing, and laughed: "For the prince, it is indeed not a big number. ”

After laughing for a while, Shen Weicai explained to Qin Lei: "This cabbage can occupy space, and we can't pull tens of thousands of catties with our largest boat, even if we have 100,000 catties, a tree of ten catties is 10,000 trees." Hit two hundred wen each, a total of two million wen, that is, two thousand taels of silver. ”

Qin Lei pondered: "It's a lot, just transport a few more ships." ”

Shen Wei said with a smile: "Not to mention that things are rare and expensive, and if there are more, they will not be valuable, let's just say that the freight of this largest ship, four thousand miles round trip, the charter is two hundred taels, and the charter is five hundred taels......" said and explained: "The light lease is only the charter of the ship; The charter is rented together with the sailor ship boss. ”

Qin Lei smiled and said, "Understood, uncle continue." ”

Shen Wei cleared his throat and counted his fingers: "The offshore tax, landing tax, donations along the way, docking tax, and transit tax at the wharves in the two places add up to at least eight hundred taels, as well as two hundred taels of the 'eleventh tax' when selling goods, and all the taxes add up to one thousand taels." ”

Qin Lei opened his mouth wide and said with a dry smile: "There's still a surplus of five hundred taels, isn't it?" ”

Shen Wei shook his head and smiled: "That's it?" No. The water bandits along the way don't make offerings? There is not a single two hundred taels that cannot be passed, and of course, if we charter our ship, we only need to add another one hundred and fifty taels to dispense with this offering. ”

Qin Lei wiped his sweat and said bitterly: "It seems that the bandits are more benevolent and righteous, not only do they charge less fees, but they also know that group purchases are seventy-fifty percent off." ”

Old Man Shen stroked his pure white beard, and said with a smile on his chin: "The harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, how can you talk about it casually." ”

Shen Wei said with a smile: "The remaining more than three hundred taels of silver are just literal, in fact, four thousand miles of shipping, the goods will be lost by one percent, that is, two hundred taels, so there is still the last hundred taels left." ”

Qin Lei smiled bitterly: "One hundred taels is a little less." ”

How did Shen Wei not give up, and continued to fold his fingers and said: "Besides, you can't move these 100,000 catties of cabbage up and down by yourself, right?" You've got to find someone to press the boat with you, and you've got to eat by yourself, right? In the end, there are dozens of taels of silver left, but as long as the price is wiped a little, your month's work will be all smashed in it. ”

Qin Lei smiled and said, "It seems that you can't transport these cheap goods......"

Old man Shen smiled and said: "Everything is the same, anyway, as long as the current situation is now, there is no profit from selling anything......" Before he finished speaking, he himself was stunned first, looked at his son with four eyes, and only came back to his senses after a while, and suddenly said: "I understand the meaning of His Royal Highness, we shouldn't look at the old imperial calendar anymore." ”

Shen Wei also said with a smile on his forehead: "The prince has long held the wisdom pearl, but we are still selling cabbage." ”

Qin Lei flicked his robe, spread out his slender and powerful right hand, and said with a bright smile: "Grandpa and uncle are fans of the authorities, the future canal will be jointly controlled by the Canal Department and the Qinghe Yamen, symbiosis and common prosperity, the Canal Department is responsible for the exchange of taxes, inspection of bandits, and protection of the Qinghe Yamen, of course, the Qinghe Yamen has to pay taxes to support the Canal Division." ”

As he spoke, his right hand was clenched into a fist, and he said firmly: "As for the other forces, they must all get out of the way, otherwise they will wait to be cleared!" ”

Old Man Shen frowned slightly and said, "Will it cause a backlash?" ”

Qin Lei's eyes narrowed, and he sneered: "My righteous brother Marshal Bo Xian is in charge of the defense of the canal, or can I be willing to give the Zhennan Army a dry share?" The large forces were cleared by the Zhennan Army, and the small forces were directly settled by the Canal Division. Rubbing his chin as he spoke, he said: "It is clearly written in the Great Qin Law that the Canal Department is the only department that has the right to collect taxes in the canal, and other officials, whether they are officials or bandits, do not have this right, and if they encounter it, they will be killed." I'm in charge of the court! ”

The Shen father and son exchanged glances, and Shen Wei asked softly: "But Prime Minister Wen's 'canal tax return to the local government' more than ten years ago is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, I'm afraid it can't be reversed, right?" ”

Qin Lei said with a smile: "When the time comes, Wen Yanbo will definitely be too busy to take care of himself, how can he still care about the canal, as for those magistrates, in the eyes of the lonely, they are tantamount to local chickens and dogs, and those who are not honest will wait for death." This is said in a very arrogant manner, of course, it can also be understood as domineering, at least this is how the Shen father and son understand.

Shen Wei smiled and said, "So my uncle is relieved." ”

Old man Shen also bowed his head and said: "If the two divisions really control the river affairs, the shipping cost will be reduced by at least seventy percent, so that even if we really transport cabbage, it can be developed." ”

Qin Lei smiled and said: "The reason is here, our Shen family sits on Kyoto, the largest market in the country, which is an incomparable advantage in itself. And they are other families, if they want to squeeze into the capital, it depends on your old face, you want them to pose in eighteen postures, is it possible that they dare to pose in seventeen ways? ”

Old Man Shen's mind was spinning rapidly, and he had already begun to calculate which more companies he needed to unite in order to control the market in Kyoto. His Royal Highness said this, so he naturally handed over this errand to the Shen family, but he couldn't mess it up.

Shen Wei was not responsible for this matter, and he didn't worry about it, but asked with interest: "Guan Wang Ye is acting in the south, although it seems to be stormy and resolute, but in fact, he rarely smashes other people's jobs, and he can always make a happy scene." Why did you want to destroy all the jobs of the provincial governments along the river this time? ”

Qin Lei said calmly: "There is a principle that is: 'How much resources you have, how much benefit you can distribute.'" 'In the south, the southern gentry occupied the popularity of the people, ninety percent of the land, and almost all the mines, and this was their resource, so they had the right to share everything in the south with the lonely king. As he spoke, he looked at Shen Wei and said in a deep voice: "In the same way, the four families occupy the right to ship through the canal, and the canal department has the right to collect taxes, and the lone king can also share everything in the canal with them." ”

Smiling and clenching his fists, Qin Lei smiled confidently: "And the reason why Lone can enjoy these with peace of mind is because Lone has power and violence, which can provide them with protection." After speaking, he looked at Shen Wei fixedly, and said lightly: "Uncle, what is the matter with the government on both sides of the strait?" ”

Shen Wei heard this theory for the first time, but he had a feeling of enlightenment, and nodded vigorously: "It's really nothing wrong with them?" "Qin Lei is the umbrella, and the two divisions can maintain the canal, so that it can run smoothly, and there is really no need for a third party to intervene.

"Are they as strong as me? Can it replace me? The corners of Qin Lei's mouth turned up slightly, and he asked softly. Today, he is already a prince with a heavy army, and he has married Jinlan with Marshal Zhennan, and he can finally say arrogantly: 'Whoever disobeys will be killed'.

Shen Wei shook his head and said with a look of relief: "The prince can already call the wind and rain along the canal, and no one can replace him." ”

Qin Lei laughed and said, "Then why do I have to share it with those corrupt officials?" As he spoke, his face was slightly gloomy, and he said solemnly: "The rice bowl of a group of silverfish who only know how to suck the people's fat and people's ointment, if they don't smash it, will they continue to bring disaster to the country and the people?" ”

Old Man Shen was slightly worried: "In this way, they will make trouble." ”

"Kill!" Qin Lei didn't blink his eyes, and a cold word popped out from between his teeth.

"What if you kill them all?" Old Man Shen frowned and asked.

"Daqin's officialdom has long been rotten under Wen Yanbo's corrosion, and it is just time to replace it with some fresh ones when it is killed." Qin Lei waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "I am not acting recklessly, but the earthquake in the officialdom of Great Qin is imminent, so I will take advantage of the situation to do this thunderbolt method, and I will do it twice and again, but the people of the country will suffer less once." ”

Old Man Shen clapped his hands and praised: "A country's giant should have this pride!" Needless to say, Your Highness, Grandpa fully supports you! "The Shen family is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and naturally knows more about the contradictions between His Majesty and the Wen family, so it is not surprising that the 'officialdom earthquake'.

Qin Lei smiled happily: "Grandpa is really heroic." At this time, Mrs. Shen came over to invite her to eat in person, and the three of them stopped talking and followed Mrs. Shen to the dining room for dinner.

The luxury of this meal was far beyond Qin Lei's imagination, and it was even more exquisite and expensive than the Xiangfu banquet he had eaten in Shangjing, which was known as the capital of food. One after another unnamed precious dishes were held by the maids in the house, and the price of water came up, only stopping in front of Qin Lei's eyes for a while, if she saw his eyelids drooping slightly, the maid put the dishes on the table. If Qin Lei didn't blink his eyelids, the dish would be served down and placed on another table, and the Shen family would enjoy it by the Shen family who was sitting with him.

Of course, according to the rules, this is the case, but God is pitiful, His Royal Highness the King of Longwei County rarely eats more than six dishes at ordinary times, and has eaten several imperial meals, and has never encountered such a situation where there are so many dishes that he can't put them on the table, so he doesn't understand the ways of these huge rich people......

The first dish came up, this dish was the first cannon, and the chefs naturally wanted to show the highest level, only to see a layer of pure white snow in the exquisite cyan porcelain plate, with mountains on the snow, pine trees on the mountains, and smoke all around. A circle of lifelike, variously shaped little white cranes danced around the snow-capped mountain, and with the flow of smoke, the cranes looked as if they were really flying.

I only heard the maid say softly: "The white crane is home, please choose it." "These maids are learning Wu Nong's soft language, the difference between 'selection' and 'enjoyment' is not clear, Qin Lei only invited him to enjoy, and said in his heart, this is simply a beautiful work of art, where will you start to say it later?

My eyes couldn't help but open wide, for fear of missing out. His breathtaking appearance was so peculiar that the maid who delivered the meal was quite misunderstood, and said in her heart: "The prince doesn't blink an eye, it seems that he doesn't like this." Then he took the 'white crane homecoming' and served another dish.

Qin Lei squinted at the 'White Crane Homecoming' to the other table, and said with infinite regret in his heart: "It turned out that it was just for me to see, what kind of rules are broken?" Isn't this deliberately gluttonous? But when the room was full of people looking at him, he was embarrassed to say, "Hey, buddy, how about we switch?" I can only endure the regret in my heart, and then look at the next one, it is another dish that sells very well, it is so beautiful, where should I start? Qin Lei made another difficulty.

"'Feihuang Tengda', please choose the prince." The palace maid said softly.

After the palace maid finished asking, she saw that the prince's eyes were round, for fear of blinking, so she naturally thought that the prince didn't like this dish, and also brought it to another table.

Qin Lei secretly swallowed and foamed, and said in his heart: "What kind of rule is this? Isn't that human? Then he didn't look at it, but prayed in his heart that his share should come up quickly. Sure enough, those dishes were also brought to other tables, and if it weren't for the indecent stuffing of his ears, he wouldn't even want to hear the names of the dishes.

Although he was aroused by the fragrant dishes, his stomach was like a drum. But in the eyes of the elders of the Shen family who sat with him, he became a prince with a personable demeanor, respecting the elderly, and letting the elders arrange meals at the table first, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of Qin Lei in his heart, but it was also an unexpected gain.

As everyone knows, His Royal Highness the King of Longwei County is a man who lacks patience and is short-tempered, if it were in the past, he would have slapped the table and scolded his mother, shouting: "Leave the dishes and beauties behind". But today is the first meal at his grandfather's house, how can he not give face to the Shen family, who has a great kindness to him? What's more, the kind and kind Mrs. Shen has been staring at Qin Lei with an infinite gaze, making him unable to do it.

Thinking of the Shen family's kindness to him and his uncle's love for him, Qin Lei was heartbroken, and said secretly: "If you don't eat a meal, you won't starve to death, it's a big deal to go back and soak in the past." But I couldn't help but say in my heart: 'Is there such a treat?' Isn't this a trick? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but hang my left eyelid depressedly......

Finally, a miracle happened—the maid, who was already mad, finally blinked when she saw that the polite and perverted prince finally blinked, and put a plate of dishes on his table with relief.

His Royal Highness, who was already hopeless, couldn't even believe his eyes when he saw this scene, and couldn't help blinking vigorously - the next dish fell on his table again.

Only then did the king of Longwei County know that he had to open his eyes and close his eyes before he could eat.
