Chapter Sixty-Nine: The State Officials Set Fires
After the Zhuang Mansion sent a lot of things for the apology, Ye Fu said that he was helpless. I had to take Yu Xianggu to visit the Cai family in Zhuangfu, and also brought the imperial doctor in the palace.
Looking for a good weather, Ye Fu took Yu Xianggu out and went to his own land on Jingyue Street.
Since the opening of this official commercial street, many officials have been hanging out here.
Ye Fu held his hands behind his back and walked side by side with Yu Xianggu.
"Yu Xianggu, people from Zhuangfu, have you been here?"
"Nope. It seems that he is not going to let go. ”
Also, the businessman is afraid of the imperial court.
"If we don't let go, then should we take some coercive measures."
"No, if people don't want to, they don't want to, so why bother."
Ye Fu pursed his mouth: "Do you really don't know or fake don't know?" ”
"What if you know, they haven't done it thoroughly, so we can't do it."
"Then I'll force them to have no way out." Ye Fu snorted, indicating that he did not listen to Yu Xianggu's verbosity.
Walk into a cloth village, called Jinluofang, which was opened by Qin Lu, a small official of the Ministry of Rites.
In front of every official businessman, there is a sign with black letters on a red background, marking his identity. It doesn't matter whether it's high or low, it's just about recognizing people.
Like Ye Fu, there can be a sign, shopping will not be embarrassed by face blindness.
"Yu Xiang, Yu Fu Yin, unwelcome and unwelcome." Immediately afterwards, Qin Shuang saw Yu Xianggu behind him, and hurriedly took care of him.
Qin Shuang should be Qin Lu's sister.
"Boss Qin is Qin Lu's?"
"Qin Lu is the brother of the people's daughter."
"Oh. I really didn't expect that the daughters of Yu Guo were so capable. There is Zhuang Xiaoyu in the front, and Miss Qin in the back. ”
"The prime minister praised the little woman and was flattered."
"Well, don't be restrained, Benxiang and Yu Fuyin just want to make two clothes."
"Okay." Qin Shuang looked at the tall and well-proportioned figures of the two, her face was slightly red, and she took out a soft ruler to measure the size of the two.
Then Ye Fu and Yu Xianggu chose the fabric and color respectively, left a deposit and walked towards the next family.
I also went to some others, such as: calligraphy and painting, antiques, jade, etc.
"Yu Xianggu, what do you think are the characteristics of these officials and businessmen?"
The two sat and chatted at a small restaurant on Changle Street.
"Upper-level communication."
"Well, unlike Changle Street, there is food and drink, and there is fun and fun."
"Mainly, as an official, he can't put down the shelf and serve others."
"Pretty much, there are reasons why I don't pay much attention to this in my own right. Sending the female dependents of the family to run the business, it is obvious that he is afraid that the man will not be able to become an official after doing business. ”
"Hmm." Yu Xianggu poured tea for the two of them, picked up a cup and pecked it, "Do you want to stop by to see your good deeds and see the displaced people placed outside the city?" ”
"Okay, let's go."
After a short rest, they left the city.
The remnants of the New Year's vigor exist in the corners of the territory, and the pedestrians are in twos and threes, and the greetings are lively.
About a mile away, there is a neat row of low-rise adobe houses. The cultivated land in front of the door seems to have just been cultivated, and the hard and new soil has been turned out.
Everyone didn't know Ye Fu and the two, so they didn't pay too much attention to it.
This made Ye Fu walk around the periphery.
"How many people live here?"
"There must be more than 1,000 people in a house with four households."
Looking at this piece of resettlement house, Ye Fu pouted: "The little money given by the imperial court is almost spent, what should they do next?" ”
"Work." Yu Xianggu smiled, "Don't worry, I've thought of a way, I still have to ask you to be a bad person." ”
"Huh."
After the first lunar month, the government was restored.
In the first few days, Ye Fu was very busy, and Ye Fu was also pulled to do it all night.
He returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with a groggy head, and when he was about to make up for sleep, he heard someone shouting outside the mansion.
"Xiangye, Miss Zhuang wants to see you."
"What do you see, Lao Tzu is not available!"
After roaring, Ye Fu fell asleep.
What else can Zhuang Xiaoyu do when she is looking for her, isn't it that there have been two commercial policies in the imperial court recently that have disturbed her to make money and profit?
What's the hurry? The real surprises are yet to come.
Ye Fu said that he couldn't see Zhuang Xiaoyu, that is, he really didn't see it.
Several times in a row, Zhuang Xiaoyu was turned away.
Back at Zhuang's house, Zhuang Xiaoyu angrily threw the teacup, sat on the chair and cursed again: "It's great to be an official!" ”
"Miss!" The dealer's subordinates came to tell him, and he was in a hurry.
"What's wrong!" Zhuang Xiaoyu got up from the chair with a thud.
It's no wonder that she reacted a lot, but it was also the successive changes in the past few days, which made her so busy that she couldn't solve it perfectly.
"I heard that the imperial court has canceled the 'three bans'!" The subordinate looked extremely excited, dancing with his hands, as if he was fantasizing about a more beautiful and glamorous future.
The abolition of the three prohibitions is a great blessing for businessmen.
"A lot?"
"It's all out there!"
Zhuang Xiaoyu cleaned up her appearance, stepped out of the door, and walked towards the main hall of the Chamber of Commerce.
The dealer is the richest man and the leader of the Yujing Chamber of Commerce.
What has happened recently, the Chamber of Commerce will definitely make a fuss, and it is good to stabilize the situation quickly.
What Zhuang Xiaoyu didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived at the mansion of the Chamber of Commerce, he saw a group of people surrounded by a fluttering Sven inside.
Talking and laughing, his demeanor is calm.
It's Ye Fu.
"I thought it was so warm, but the prime minister was here."
"Yes, yes, virtuous niece, but you have to entertain the prime minister."
"The people's daughter heard that the prime minister has canceled the 'three bans'?"
Ye Fu turned around at this time, looked at Zhuang Xiaoyu, and smiled: "Well, businessmen are also part of the Yu country, and they should be treated equally." ”
"The prime minister said it well!"
"Okay!"
Ye Fu looked at everyone's reaction and smiled lightly.
Zhuang Xiaoyu walked to the main hall, and said in his heart, were these people confused by the people of the court!
"Ladies and gentlemen, haven't you forgotten the imperial court's 'benefiting the people' policy?"
What else does the imperial court have to do with them except exploitation and oppression?
Many people thought about it, and gradually extinguished their high emotions.
"Prime Minister, the imperial court, it really doesn't leave us a way to live!"
"Alas!"
"Eh, what do you mean by that?" Ye Fu smiled, "If you don't take advantage of those loopholes, even if the court blocks the sky, you won't be able to suffocate you." ”
In the end, it's the greed of businessmen.
"I heard that in ancient times, there was a 'no sharp business' that had to be piled up with rice and grain, but you believe in 'no treachery and no business', and you are really harsh on the people. Remember, business is a craft, not a belief in money. ”
"Yu Xiang, only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps?"
"You're right, that's what I meant. However, I am the governor who set the fire, and the people can also light the lamp, but you don't have a lamp, you have to see the road under your feet. Ye Fu turned to Zhuang Xiaoyu and said with a smile, "In three days, the imperial court will take over the Yujing Chamber of Commerce." In addition, bulk trade will also be fully carried by the imperial court. ”
"Prime Minister, are you deceiving people too much!"
Ye Fu walked leisurely in front of Zhuang Xiaoyu and said in her ear: "So what? ”
After speaking, Ye Fu smiled and left.
The household was taken by Ye Fu to the city and went to the city, very busy.
And the officials and businessmen of Jingyue Street were also worried.
Ye Fu personally investigated and dealt with a few officials who violated the law and discipline and did not abide by the rules of the market.
"I said that I want you to settle down, do you really think that you are vegetarian?"
For two months in a row, taxes were collected to pay resettlement expenses outside the city, and businesses in the city were rectified.
The household department sent a capable person to take over the position of the president of the chamber of commerce, which made Zhuang Xiaoyu very angry.
However, Ye Fu did not do too much, in addition to Zhuangfu, other large merchants in the capital, are guaranteed subsidies.
It's easy to follow the government, Ye Fu naturally received a large number of supporters.
Yu Xianggu is responsible for making suggestions, and Ye Fu is responsible for showing off his might.
"Don't say it, fellow, you're really good at doing this! It's really wonderful to have this scale. ”
"It's good, it's been more than ten years of officialdom."
“6666!”
"Laugh, I heard the sting say that you have met several groups of assassins!"
"Isn't that fine?"
"Is this called okay?" Yu Xianggu gently brushed the red marks on someone's face with his hand, which had been slashed by the assassin's sword a few days ago. It's already scabbed.
"Shhh Ye Fu avoided the pain and snorted, "I said it, doing big things will definitely offend people, and the risk is inevitable." ”
"Then you stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion and don't go anywhere, Junzi Yun will be back soon."
"What happened when he came back?"
Yu Xianggu glanced at the idiot-like eyes.
The assassin of ten miles and eight villages, who doesn't know that the prime minister is the king of Jingyang?!
