Yang Zhumu looked at his nephew's sluggish appearance and laughed, "Why are you as surprised as I was when I heard the news, this is not like the son of the household servant." ”

The household squire, it feels very good when it comes out of his mouth, the Yang family also has a Beijing official in-law, or the household squire, the son can say, the brother-in-law is amazing, maybe one day he will be promoted to the second grade.

Changyi digested the news, and his mouth became bigger and bigger, this is really a great joy, "Uncle, let's not talk at the city gate." ”

"Yes, yes, your aunt is still waiting at home, since I received the letter from you today, she urged me to wait at the gate of the city in the morning, and I drank two pots of tea."

Changyi smiled, "Uncle, you can ride the carriage with me!" ”

Yang Zhumu, "Okay." ”

In the capital, Zhou Shuren and Shangshu arrived in the political hall, and the emperor was seeing the military department Shangshu, and after waiting for a while, the military department Shangshu walked out of the inner room, and did not go out directly, but ran to Lord Xiao.

Xiao Qing smiled, "Master Li, what a coincidence! ”

Master Li, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was puzzled, in recent days, he blocked Xiao Qing as long as he had the opportunity, and every time Xiao Qing ran away, even if he was blocked, Xiao Qing also had a bitter face, looking like I really don't have any silver, if you want silver, you will force me to death, and this time he greeted him with a smile!

Master Li frowned, "Do you have any silver?" ”

Xiao Qing twitched the corners of his mouth, the other departments, except for the Ministry of Engineering at the bottom, mentioned the silver when they saw him, there was no politeness at all, it was really direct, "No." ”

"So what are you laughing at? Don't think that if you smile at me, I won't mention the silver, Xiao Qing, the army is going back to Beijing, you can't chill the hearts of the soldiers. ”

Xiao Qing's face darkened, "Master Li, this is serious, you all want to ask for silver every day, really I am guarding the gold mountain!" You hurry up, the old man is annoyed when he sees you now. ”

Xiao Qing had a heart attack, the official department Shangshu hid needles in his words, soft knives, Master Li of the Ministry of War, don't look at the tall and big people, and there are a lot of hearts, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu is polite to meet, and he does not hesitate when he asks for silver, he counts carefully, and the people who want silver are not right with the household!

Master Li snorted, just as he was willing to block this old fox, he was also worried about the number of casualties, the household was poor, the military department was even poorer, and the military department had no silver at all!

Gonggong Liu came out, "The emperor invites Lord Xiao and Lord Zhou to come in." ”

Lord Li's eyes fell on Zhou Shuren, this person who entered Beijing was not low-key, his eyes lit up a little, especially when he saw the fold in Xiao Lao's hand, he laughed, "Old Xiao, we have been friends for many years, and if you have silver, you must be the first to think of me!" ”

Xiao Qingdang didn't hear it, and walked into the room.

Zhou Shuren followed, didn't move, and looked at his arm, "My lord? ”

Relying on his height and strength, Master Li pulled Zhou Shuren to the corner and whispered, "Is there any silver?" ”

Gonggong Liu coughed, Lord Li let go of his hand and patted Zhou Shuren's shoulder, "Haha, the old man has always wanted to know Lord Zhou, and I am excited to see him today, Lord Zhou must have tea together when he has time." ”

Zhou Shuren only felt pain, his fragile body, his shoulder really hurt at this moment, "Definitely." ”

Gonggong Liu looked at Lord Li's big palms and looked at Lord Zhou sympathetically, Lord Zhou was thin and thin, he couldn't bear to look at it.

Zhou Shuren saw that Master Li was finally gone, and exhaled and moved his shoulder, well, it still hurts, it should be green.

Gonggong Liu moved his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, and the military department was not easy to mess with, so he didn't see it, well, he didn't see it.

In the middle, the emperor was reading the excerpts, and Lord Xiao was chatting with the prince.

The prince smiled, "Lord Zhou, sit here." ”

Zhou Shuren, "Thank you, His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Xiao Qing couldn't see anything from Zhou Shuren's face, and he didn't want to ask Lord Li in the main hall to embarrass Zhou Shuren, but then again, Zhou Shuren's smile didn't seem to have changed!

The emperor quickly finished browsing the excerpts, his expectations were right, Zhou Shuren really had a good brain, "The method is good." ”

Xiao Qing smiled, "The jewelry is easy to handle, just pack it for the merchants." ”

The emperor looked at Zhou Shuren, "What do you say?" ”

Zhou Shuren saw that he looked at him and coughed, "The jewelry stored in the household department is not worth much silver, it is indeed suitable for packaging and selling to maritime merchants, but the minister thinks that the news of the tax increase can be released first, and then the news of the household department's handling of jewelry, if the price is reasonable, the tax increase for half a year can be exempted." ”

Half a year's tax increase is not small, large maritime traders can save a lot of money in half a year, half a year is enough for two short trips, a long-distance trip, tax has always been a lot of silver.

The emperor looked at Zhou Shuren playfully, "Aiqing continued. ”

Zhou Shuren continued: "Several sea merchants will definitely compete, they know in their hearts what price is the most suitable, and because of this matter, the big maritime merchants participated, and it was logical to increase the tax." ”

This suitable price, there are people behind several sea traders, there is no shortage of silver, and they can also take the opportunity to please the emperor, there must be someone who is willing to give more silver, this does not need to be explained to the emperor, the emperor must know.

The emperor, "Aiqing is really suitable for the household department, Xiao Qing, I have given you a good helper." ”

Xiao Qing smiled, "Thank you to the emperor." ”

Thinking in his heart, Zhou Shuren's twists and turns in his heart are deep enough, and he can get a lot in one fell swoop, not bad, not bad.

The prince's eyes ignored Zhou Shuren, and he felt that when he ascended the throne, if he didn't want to be as bitter as his father, he must have a special Hubu Shangshu who was good at making money.

Zhou Shuren was silent, Prince, don't stare at the minister anymore, the minister's back is a little cold, he has to wonder if he has pitted himself?

If you think about it, it's no problem to kill more than one stone!

In Lizhou City, Changyi arrived at Yang's house, and Changyi entered the courtyard, "Uncle, there hasn't been much change in the family!" ”

How many people came last time, how many people still came this time.

Yang Zhumu, "Your eldest brother is a military general of a low grade, we can't compare to your Zhou family, look at your pomp, this is still traveling lightly, there are only seven or eight small guys, can't compare." ”

When my father was there, I saved some money, but after my father died, he divided the family, and the family gave half of the family to the second brother, and the income of this year was not as high as before.

This silver can't be touched yet, the granddaughter's dowry, the grandson's dowry, silver is needed everywhere, yes, there are still human contacts, and the Yang family can maintain the status quo is good.

Changyi laughed dryly, the Yang family is indeed not as good as the Zhou family, there is a terrible father who has a cow, yes, and a mother who has been adding to the family.

Yang Wuchun walked in with a smile, "Cousin Changyi has arrived." ”

Changyi, "Big cousin, aren't you in trouble?" ”

"My cousin is here, I'll rush back when things are handled, and my cousin has a smooth journey?"

Overestimating his hand hand, he didn't write much in the second chapter, and he had to wait an hour later, or maybe he was ahead of schedule
