Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, this whole summer, Fu Yuanling's time has been tossed and lost on the way back and forth in Yunzhou.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the election of the princess is lively, and the whole Shangjing is jubilant.

At this time, the south sent a report that torrential rains fell in more than ten prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, the river embankments collapsed, the flood spread, and a large number of fields and crops were washed away.

Seeing that the harvest was about to be harvested, a disaster struck from heaven.

All the joy was washed away by this mansion, and it was at this time that the four princes returned to Beijing in a low-key manner.

As soon as he returned to Beijing, he entered Beijing to face the saint, followed by the four princes back to the house, and the emperor summoned the imperial doctor to the palace of the four princes.

Slowly, news came out that the four princes rushed overnight in order to deliver the Jiangnan disaster to the emperor, and the old illness recurred.

The fact that the four princes are in poor health is well known, and now they are sick because of state affairs, and the praise of the court and the central government is endless.

Concubine Li Defei was worried about her son, so she specially begged the emperor to go to the prince's mansion to visit her son, and the emperor allowed and allowed Concubine Li Defei to stay in the palace of the fourth prince for one day.

This is a great dignity, and it is the first time since the enthronement of the saint that there has been such a grace.

Fu Yuanling looked at what Xiao Jiuqi wrote in the letter, and his brows furrowed tightly.

Now Xiao Jiuqi can't see anyone who can't see her, and she sends letters almost twice in three days.

The bedside box will fill up quickly.

Xiao Jiuqi's knees are already healed, he now enters the palace every day, and he goes around the emperor and the queen, now that this kind of thing has happened, he can't make trouble for Lao Tzu, so he can only stop first.

Although he is confused, he still knows that things are urgent.

Xiao Jiuqi's letter wrote that the treasury was empty, and millions of taels of silver had to be allocated for flood relief in the south.

However, the imperial court has just sent troops in Yunzhou, and this large expenditure is not counted, and last year due to the drought in the northwest, the state treasury is currently unable to make ends meet.

Fu Yuanling stared at the words of a million taels of silver, the court has no money, she has money!

Xiao Jiuqi was coldly regarded by the emperor in the palace all day long for the marriage of the two, and it would be good if she could help.

The emperor looks down on her merchant background, but now that the national court is facing natural and man-made disasters, but there is no silver to save the emergency, will he think of the taxes that the merchants pay to the court every year.

Fu Yuanling was not convinced, the merchant contributed more taxes to the country and the imperial court every year, which had already exceeded the tax on agriculture and mulberry.

But the status of a businessman is still despised, why?

Didn't they contribute to the country and to the imperial court?

I did, but what did I get in return?

Yes, but very little.

Fu Yuanling's eyes were half-squinted, this was a good opportunity, it was time to let the imperial court know the power of the merchants.

Fu Yuanling immediately wrote to Lu Jialan's sister-in-law, Mrs. Qiao, and several big merchants who had recently met in Beijing to discuss this matter.

If you want to be famous, you naturally have to do a big job!

After reading Fu Yuanling's letter, the Lan family immediately asked the little servant to find her husband back and handed him the letter, "Master, what should you do about this?" ”

Lu Chengyi took advantage of Fu Yuanling to get on the line with the Qiao family, this time the imported goods from Yunzhou, so many merchants wanted to cooperate with Fu Yuanling, and Fu Yuanling chose the Lu family first.

Now that the Lu family's business is booming, he is already thinking about calling his second brother to Beijing to help.

Therefore, he attached great importance to Fu Yuanling's letter, and after sitting down, he studied it carefully, and then said: "Miss Fu is really ......."

Lan also sighed, "Yes, I really can't imagine that she, a girl's family, would want to do such a big thing." ”
