When Song Yansheng saw him, his eyes lit up, but listening to the meaning of his words, he estimated that this trip was in vain. Yiyun jumped down lightly, "I also said why did the master leave me behind when he went out, it turned out to be waiting for the sixth girl." ”

Sure enough, it's not there.

She paused for a moment, looked at the closed garden gate, and then looked at Yiyun's attentive expression, and she already understood.

"Looks like someone is already ...... Keeping an eye on your Highness? She came in a hurry, just uneasy. Now that he was here, he was afraid of more trouble, so he looked up and said, "I'm late, please pass on a message." Last time I was in the Lin Mansion, thank you, Your Highness. ”

Yiyun smiled, nodded quite heroically, and then asked strangely, "The sixth girl came here just to say thank you, and there is nothing else?" ”

Song Yansheng lowered his head and held his hat and shook his head lightly at him.

Yiyun was quite disappointed, "That's it? Don't you care where your master goes? "If Duan Xun doesn't want to tell others, then Yiyun's mouth can't be true. She smiled, shook her head again, glanced at the closed garden again, and planned to leave with Yokoba.

When they got into the carriage, Yiyun was still standing there and staring at them. When she lifted the curtain, she thought for a moment, then turned around and said softly, "Yiyun, please pass on a message and let His Highness ...... Be careful, too. ”

On the way home, she noticed the homeless people on the street, and the situation was much better than before. Because the merchant girl vigorously "compared" the donated medicine and herb sheds, many victims were sick and could be treated. Another good thing is that because the merchants in Jiangnan gathered to hoard rice, the price of rice fell rapidly when it rose to 180 yuan, falling to the lowest level ever. The rice merchants in Yangzhou saw the end at a glance, and only wanted to return to their capital quickly, so the government collected rice grain at a low price to enrich the granary, and the displaced people had rice to eat.

Pan Zongjiang colluded with businessmen to put pressure on the Song family, and now he is also defeated. The price of rice in Jiangnan has fallen below the sky, and their three sons and party have not fished any oil and water, and they can't calculate it.

Song Yan sneered and lowered the curtain. The disaster in Lin'an is imminent, as a messenger and a prince, he is not bent on it, but he still thinks about the sideways, either to make a stumbling block for political enemies, or to loot the people's ointment and make a fortune for the country. If you want to make meritorious service and make a fortune, how can there be such a good thing.

After returning to Song's house, Song Yansheng accidentally bumped into Miss Yan at the corner gate. This Yan girl loves to show off her wealth with the eldest lady of the Qian family on weekdays, Qian Qianqian was grounded, she was proud of herself outside for several days, but today she was a little low-key, and she staggered to the door in a soft sedan chair, and it was estimated that she came to find Song Qisheng. The two met and nodded slightly, and Song Yansheng watched her maid drag out several large packages and a cage from the sedan chair. Looking at this formation, it seems that he wants to live in the Song Mansion.

"You're ......"

Miss Yan also looked aggrieved and inexplicable, she shook her handkerchief angrily, looked at Song Yan's good talk, and immediately pulled her to complain: "My father didn't know what evil fire had happened recently, and when he saw me scolding once, he said that I had ruined his important business!" I didn't understand what was going on on his side, and I didn't do anything bad except spending his money, and he looked at me these days like he wanted to eat me. I can't stand this anymore, so I'll hide here for a few days. ”

Song Yansheng and Hengbo glanced at each other, both of them knew it in their hearts, but they still had a smile on their faces. The reason why her father was annoyed was naturally not difficult to guess, and she thought that she had already known about her daughter's rescue of the medical hall like Qian Yishan. These big businessmen in Yangzhou were all people who made a fortune under Pan Zongjiang, and they obeyed the boss to deal with the Song family. did not give relief or help, drove away the homeless, but also raised prices, and started an incident on the spot, which made it difficult for Song Zhi, the prefect of Yangzhou, to collapse in one fell swoop.

But now the displaced people in Lin'an are well managed, the general trend is stable, and there is nothing behind them. At this time, he knew that when he knew that his own girl was dizzy and blind to help the victims and leave merits, he would probably be so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. How can big businessmen like them rarely get the merit books of those who cheat children, and they don't rarely get the gratitude of these poor people, they want to hug the thighs of the third son of the emperor to soar! I didn't calculate it, but this matter was in the hands of my own girl.

Yan Baobao's father was a profiteer with a desire for profit, and he was also one of the merchants who inflated the price of rice. At present, the price of food has plummeted, and she can't even get her old book back, and she is angry, how can Miss Yan not suffer.

Song Yansheng looked at her sympathetically, and remembered Song Shusheng's fall into the water. She always felt that it was very strange that the seventh girl fell into the water for no reason that day, and this Yan girl was also on the boat with Song Qisheng at that time, so she wanted to spy from her.

"Miss Yan is so easy to come here, why don't you go to my room and sit down first? If she wants to find the sound of chess, she should go to see my seventh sister now. ”

"Huh?" After hearing this, Miss Yan showed an expression of disbelief, she frowned and said strangely: "Qisheng will go to see her Song Shusheng?" Hasn't she always looked down on her sick sister the most? ”

"Miss Yan said cautiously, the relationship between my two sisters is excellent."

Song Yansheng stopped when he heard this, stared at her very seriously, and saw that Yan Baobao was a little uncomfortable, but he retorted stubbornly: "Sixth girl, you have only been here in Yangzhou not long ago. I've been with Song Qisheng for so many years, what is there about her that I can't know? She has a good relationship with the Seventh Girl? It's a joke, and the dare is made for you to see. Just take the Lin Mansion Song Shusheng fell into the water a while ago, and she secretly pushed it down......"

"She pushed it?!"

Miss Yan's expression was slightly evasive, her eyes were biased, and she was probably one of the participants. She quickly uncovered the bottom of Song Qisheng, and said continuously: "It's not." Song Qisheng hates the seven girls, and no one in the whole Yangzhou girls knows. Song Shusheng occupied the position of a concubine for nothing, but she was inferior to her everywhere, and she hated it very much in her heart. Last time in the Lin Mansion, the eldest princess was kind to the seventh girl and beckoned her to speak, but Song Qisheng couldn't stand it on the spot, so he took advantage of the boat to push her down. ”

"This isn't the first time. Before you came to Yangzhou, she secretly didn't know how many times she had tossed the seventh girl, and one time she was even more vicious because she also put poisonous insects in her bathwater. ”

Song Yansheng was shocked, and heard her pretend to be unbearable, "The seventh girl is pitiful, but who told her that her mother has no ability to give birth to a son." Their mother and daughter are not favored, and everyone will pick soft persimmons and pinch them. Besides, Aunt Zhao is not a fuel-efficient lamp...... Hey, hey, six girls, why are you gone? ”

How could Song Yansheng still endure to go with her when he heard this, this Song Qisheng was ruthless at a young age, these friends she made...... Oh, it's hard to say.

Now that she knows the temperament of Aunt Zhao's mother and daughter, she is not surprised. Song Shusheng is the most kind person, and the Feng family is not fighting or grabbing, how can he provoke them to do so evil. Grandmother was most taboo about the restlessness of the house, she gritted her teeth, and thought that she had to think about it.

Uncle Song Zhi has not been slack in the past few days, and the eldest brother Song Meichang is also too busy to see anyone. The disaster relief went a little quieter, but the last time I listened to them in the study, it seemed that I had other plans. Now that it is getting colder and colder day by day, Song Zhi is unexpectedly tired and falls. With his busy day and night, his body will not be able to stand it sooner or later. Song Yansheng followed his grandfather over to see him, Song Zhi lost a lot of weight for several days, and now it was dark, and when he saw them coming, he straightened up a little with little energy.

Aunt Zhao was waiting on the side, and when she saw this, she hurriedly helped him up.

"Lie down and rest for a few days. No matter how urgent and urgent things are, isn't there still a Chang brother? ”

The old man looked at the official documents and official seals he had brought back from the official office on the desk, and couldn't help but sigh and wave his hand.

Aunt Zhao retreated with great eyes and gently closed the door. Song Zhi took a breath, "Listening to the news from Brother Chang'er, I calculated the gap, it is a big rift, it is more terrible and tricky than I imagined, and it involves the interests of too many people...... Ahem, ahem! ”

Grandfather took her hand and tightened it slightly, "Don't panic, it's natural to accumulate several generations." ”

"Since I called Yangzhou, I have also checked a lot over the years. Although I know that the officialdom in this area of Jiangnan is dark and filthy, my son, I never thought that they would dare to be so bold! ”

Song Yansheng didn't understand it at first, but when he heard the "salt tax", he understood a little. Now these big salt merchants entrenched in Yangzhou all started with the salt industry, and the huge profits, coupled with the convenience of the Grand Canal, look at the golden land in the south of the Yangtze River today, naturally needless to say.

Speaking of salt tax, we have to mention today's "salt introduction" system. Regarding salt introduction, she once heard her father Song Yue mention it. Dacheng's salt industry is under the direct jurisdiction of the government, and the salt monopoly is implemented, and the salt merchants have to rely on the salt to attract salt in exchange for transportation to the local area. The people can't do without salt, this is a profitable business, and it has never been profitable. And if you want to get the salt introduction, you must have a good relationship with the government, that is, the imperial history of the salt patrol, which is all kinds of gloom needless to say, which governor of the salt patrol is not fat. It is said that the previous Imperial Historian's Mansion was renovated and rebuilt from the inside out at the expense of merchants.

For both parties, both parties can benefit and make a lot of money, so why not? When he arrived at Pan Zongjiang's term, he was even more interested in it, and came up with a proud trick, called "advance salt introduction". He said that the demand for salt for private use had increased, and he proposed that the salt quota for the second year be issued to salt merchants in advance. In the first year, you can earn the silver of the second year, that is, the additional fee for withholding salt is not small, and the salt merchants are also willing to come to the door one by one with the silver.

Grandfather said that Pan Zongjiang is a slippery person, and if the salt merchants want to advance the salt introduction, they can send a lot of white flowers and silver to beg him to do something, as long as the salt is in hand, the silver sent over can be earned again, who will earn it? Naturally, it is the poor people.

I've been waiting for a long time ~ thanks for your support ~
