Princess Jin'an looked at that side fixedly, looking at Tan Guifei holding her father's arm, she didn't know what to say, her father had a smile on his face, and his expression was very intimate.

Xu Xiuning naturally saw it, she turned her head to look at her cousin, and gently tugged on her sleeve, "Cousin, let's go back." ”

Princess Jin'an came back to her senses, looked at Xu Xiuning's worried look, and hooked the corners of her mouth, "I'm fine, let's go, it's time to go back." ”

Princess Jin'an didn't mean to step forward, what did she do in the past?

It's not interesting at all.

***

After the Flower Dynasty Festival, the weather is getting warmer day by day.

Fu Yuanling received a letter from Fu Yi that the ship of Que Zhou Harbor was about to go to sea, and Mei Chengchuan would sail with the ship this time.

"That's great news." Fu Yuanling chuckled, folded the letter, picked up the pen and began to write a reply.

Mei Chengchuan is somewhat similar to King Rong, the difference is that King Rong's cold-blooded people are from King Rong's mansion, while Mei Chengchuan's cold-blooded people are aimed at all those who hinder his path.

And she is obviously the opponent that Mei Chengchuan wants to get rid of the most now, otherwise she would not collude with the local government and give the Fu family problems in the name of King Wu.

But these were all expected for Fu Yuanling a long time ago, and now that it has happened, it is just like that.

If you are tempted to go to sea, you must have great benefits, otherwise a person like Mei Chengchuan who spares his life will never be in danger.

For this reason, Fu Yuanling has been deployed for several years, and this year this big fish can be regarded as biting.

After writing the letter, it was sealed with wax and ordered to be sent to Que Zhou Xingang overnight.

Whether it can be done or not is all up to here.

A few days after Fu Yuanling sent the letter to Que Zhou Xingang, he did not expect that Que Zhou Xingang was impeached again and again in the court, and the fire was so fierce that he was prepared at a glance.

When Fu Yuanling got the news, he was drinking tea with Princess Jin'an and Princess Yongtai.

Princess Yongtai invited them to go to the princess's mansion to taste tea, Princess Changle politely refused because of something, Princess Wu was pregnant and couldn't go out, Xu Xiuning felt the cold and was recuperating at home and couldn't come these days, Princess Jin'an, Fu Yuanling, Chen Yan and several other princesses came, but it was also lively.

Princess Yongtai is very kind, there is no princess's shelf, especially the little round face is extraordinarily kind, and her speech is soft and glutinous, which makes people willing to get close to her.

When the news arrived, they had just finished lunch and were burning incense and making tea in the back garden.

Everyone looked at Fu Yuanling together, and they all knew that the Fu family had a big deal in Que Zhou Xingang, given that several princes were now on errands for the imperial court in the western suburbs, and now several princesses were gradually getting closer to Fu Yuanling, and they couldn't help but be a little worried when they heard the words.

"Ninth brother and sister, will it be unfavorable to the Fu family over there in Que Zhou Xingang?" Princess Yongtai asked with a slight frown.

She doesn't understand business matters, but she also knows that Que Zhou Xingang is rude, which is definitely not a good thing for the Fu family.

Fu Yuanling couldn't help but smile at the worried gaze around him, "Sister, sister-in-law, don't worry, the major affairs of the imperial court are governed by the laws of the imperial court, if there is indeed a problem with Que Zhou Xingang, then it is a good thing to find out now, if there is nothing to deliberately frame, if the local officials handle it properly, it will be meritorious, if it can't be incompetent, it can be regarded as the palm of the eyes for the imperial court." ”

Princess Jin'an laughed when she heard this, "You can think about it, but it is not a trivial matter that it suddenly broke out that Que Zhou Xingang is competing with Caoyun for profit, and passing through the state capital is not under the jurisdiction of its bills." ”

Fu Yuanling also smiled when he heard this, "This kind of thing is that the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and you can't say who is right and who is wrong." The boats traveled in the territory of Daqian, passing through several state capitals, and had to be inspected by the local government at every place they docked, and there were many contradictions caused by entanglements, which were not an overnight thing. ”

Princess Jin'an listened to Fu Yuanling's words, and asked with some curiosity: "Listen to the meaning of the ninth brother and sister, do you also know a little about these?" ”

"Although the Fu family has never done the business of Cao Yun before, the Fu family's grain bank has contributed to the collection and exchange of Cao grain in various provinces. So, I know a little bit about what is involved here. Fu Yuanling said with a smile.

Princess Jin'an looked at Fu Yuanling's somewhat meaningful smile, and had a bad premonition, "Ninth brother and sister, is there something going on here?" ”

Fu Yuanling chuckled, "Sister Huang, what do you want me to do with this?" I can't go back. ”

Princess Jin'an knew that there was a big deal here.

Princess Yongtai looked at the two of them with a confused expression, "Why don't I understand it, isn't the Cao boat just for transporting grain?" ”

Most of the grain in Shangjing was brought in from the south by boats, and every grain of rice they ate was produced from the paddy fields in the south.

Chen Yan frowned slightly and said, "I heard that Caoyun is very complicated, involving a wide range of officials, and it is said that every governor of Caoyun is fattened. ”

Princess Wenping's father is a general political history, and she really knows a little about Caoyun, which is not only complicated, but the water in it is deep.

But she didn't dare to say it, and she couldn't say it.

However, Princess Dongchuan said, "The rations of the princes and officials of Shangjing, the officials and soldiers of the garrison are all transported from Cao, and I have heard that the same is true for the fodder for horses and camels, and the annual grain is rated at four or five million stones. ”

Fu Yuanling glanced at Princess Dongchuan with some surprise, and said with a smile: "Seventh sister-in-law is right, that's pretty much it." Therefore, the imperial court set up a governor of Caoyun, and then set up a patrol of the imperial history, which was to patrol and check the grain. ”

Princess Jin'an faintly understood, looked at Fu Yuanling and asked, "So now that the Governor of Caoyun is impeaching Que Zhou Xingang and competing with him for profit, is this what he refers to?" ”

Fu Yuanling nodded, "Every year, a large amount of grain is transported to Tongzhou by water, and after unloading in Tongzhou, part of it is transported to the Shangjing granary, and part of it stays in the Tongzhou granary. For example, the Tongzhou granary will have a household warehouse yamen, a governor and a warehouse attendant, a grain hall under it, and an official of the household department, and officials will be added layer by layer, and the matter will become more and more complicated. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and chuckled, "So now once Que Zhou Xingang undertakes the matter of Cao Yun, it is undoubtedly equivalent to touching the interests of Cao Yun, how can they be willing, naturally they want to make a fuss, it is best to beat Que Zhou Xingang to death with a stick." ”

Princess Jin'an had never heard of these things, and looked at Fu Yuanling with a solemn expression, "Caoyun's income is so high?" ”

Fu Yuanling shook his head, "Under the law, it is reasonable. Outside the law, the heart is rotten. In the early years, the Fu family undertook matters such as the military-civilian exchange of grain, and there were more entanglements in these things. ”

Military-civilian exchange refers to the fact that the households that pay the grain will transport the grain to the wharf of Benzhou County and hand it over to the transportation army, and the transportation army will transport it to the north on behalf of the transportation army.

However, the grain payment must be posted to the transportation army for rice.

With this consumption of rice alone, the army can be extorted at will like a grain household, so the freight has increased greatly, and the people have no suffering.
