Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎforeadx;? Hearing about the method used by Gan Ping, the ministers present were all stunned, looking at Gan Ping's eyes full of surprise, people thought that Gan Ping could become the Minister of Finance, all by the old Gan Lin sacrifice his life to take righteousness, now it seems that Gan Ping and his people are still very talented and learned,

Tang Ling was stunned, then stroked his palms and laughed, and exclaimed: "Gan Aiqing is clever and flexible, and she is much better than the old Gan Qing,"

Gan Ping hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty has praised it, this strategy was originally thought by my father, in case of emergency, and Weichen just borrowed it for tricks,"

As he spoke, Gan Ping knelt down again, bowed his head forward, and said: "The strategy used by Weichen has not yet been approved by His Majesty, and it belongs to Weichen's unauthorized advocacy, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me,"

Tang Ling said with a smile: "Gan Aiqing's words are serious, this is a move for the benefit of the country and the people, it is too late for me to reward Gan Aiqing, how can I punish Gan Aiqing, Aiqing please hurry up,"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Longen," Gan Ping kowtowed forward again, and Fang stood up,

Qiu Yi said disapprerovingly: "With this strategy alone, Lord Gan has raised 70 million taels of silver from the people," and he is confident that he can raise 10,000 taels.

Gan Ping Zhengse said: "The policy used by the lower officials, of course, is not limited to this, the lower officials also stipulate that those who donate the most, the plaque can be engraved with gold characters, followed by red characters, again purple characters, followed by blue characters, blue characters, white characters, and the most black characters,"

Qiu Yi raised his eyebrows, muttering in his heart, Gan Ping's hands on the money are quite a lot, and he asked curiously: "Lord Gan, I don't know which merchant is the biggest donor at present,"

"The Gu family of Anjun," Gan Ping said, "Miss Gu has donated a total of eight million taels of silver to the imperial court, which is the merchant who has donated the most so far,"

Eight million taels of silver, all the ministers present gasped, even Shangguan Xiu was quite surprised, he didn't know how much the Gu family's financial resources were, but eight million taels was not a small amount, and donating so much silver at once, no matter which businessman it was, it would hurt his muscles and bones.

Tang Ling said with a deep gaze: "Miss Gu's patriotic behavior is really a model for the whole country," she said this, but what she thought in her heart was that it was rumored that the Gu family's financial resources were rich enough to rival the country, and it was true that it was true to see it today.

Gan Ping nodded his head and said: "Weichen also thinks so, however, there are not a few businessmen who want to win the golden logo, and the businessmen who currently rank second to fifth in donations, the silver donated has exceeded five million taels, and there are still ten days before the end of the donation, if they continue to chase donations in the next ten days, it is very likely that they will surpass the Gu family," Speaking of this, Gan Ping bowed to Tang Ling and said: " Wechen dared to ask His Majesty for the title of Emperor Shang for the top ten merchants in the list of donations, so that Wechen believes that the people's donations will be more enthusiastic and raise more silver for the imperial court."

Tang Ling looked up and smiled, nodding secretly, Gan Ping's ability to collect money is only above Ganlin, not under Ganlin, there is such a calculating and good at collecting money to be the Minister of Finance, which is the blessing of the wind country, but also his own blessing, Tang Ling turned his head to look at Shangguanxiu and asked, "What does the Guogong think?"

Shangguan Xiu smiled: "Lord Gan is very kind,"

Seeing that Shangguan Xiu also agreed with Gan Ping's opinion, Tang Ling was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Okay, just do it according to Gan Aiqing's wishes, the top ten businessmen who donate the most, I not only want to give them the title of imperial businessmen and give them the supreme honor of merchants, but I also want to give them real benefits, those who can only do business by the imperial court in the past, and I can also divide a part of it to the imperial businessmen in the future,"

Gan Ping bowed to the ground and said loudly: "My Emperor Shengming,"

The top ten merchants who donate can not only get the title of imperial businessman, but also have the opportunity to do the business monopolized by the imperial court in the future, this temptation is too great, even Cai Xiao, Qiu Yi and other ministers who have seen the wind and waves and the family business has already done well, are all moved after hearing it.

Shangguan Xiu didn't take it too seriously, Shuratang has its own business, but that is not the main business after all, Shuratang's source of income is mainly in Zhenjun, and Zhenjun's forging was originally a court institution, if you add the title of an imperial businessman, wouldn't it be ridiculous,

Tang Ling said: "Since the treasury has become more and more abundant, then the matter of replacing the military uniform, you can do it immediately, as for the new military uniform should be handed over to which cloth village to do, I have asked the Guogong, the opinion of the Guogong is that for the sake of fairness, let anyone who is willing to take over the production of the new military uniform, first design the style of the new military uniform, and select the most suitable one from it, and the selected cloth village can take over this business, what do you think of Aiqing?"

The ministers exchanged their heads and ears, and felt that Shangguanxiu's method was fair and reasonable.

Cai Xiao's eyes rolled, and he sneered in his heart, Shangguan Xiu obviously wanted to give this business to the Gu family's Baifeng Cloth Village to do, what is the most reasonable design, whether it is reasonable or not, isn't it just a matter of his words, he arched his hand and asked: "Your Majesty, I don't know who will select the style of the new military uniform," Without waiting for Tang Ling to speak, Cai Xiao immediately said: "If the style of the new military uniform is selected by the general, then, Weichen can express his position now, and the Cai family's Baofeng Cloth Village will not participate in this competition,"

"Why is that," Tang Ling asked seemingly puzzled,

Cai Xiao glanced at Shangguan Xiu and said: "The general has a deep personal relationship with Miss Gu of Baifeng Cloth Village, this time, he personally escorted Miss Gu to Xijing, if the style of the new military uniform is selected by the general, then there is no need to choose, and the final winner must be Baifeng Cloth Village, another cloth village, and there is no need to work thanklessly to dig out the hollow mind and design what style of the new military uniform,"

When the ministers heard this, they all looked at Shangguan Xiu, and the expressions on their faces were all suddenly realized, it turned out that Shangguan Xiu used such a way just to take care of the Gu family's business, and it was also reasonable to take care of it.

Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes, smiled indifferently, and said: "Since Lord Cai doesn't believe me, then, the matter of selecting the new military uniform will be left to Your Majesty, Lord Cai will never think that Your Majesty is not credible, and he will also show favoritism,"

"Weichen doesn't dare, if it is selected by His Majesty, even if the Cai family's Baofeng Buzhuang loses in the end, Weichen will also lose and will have no complaints,"

"For the sake of fairness, it is most appropriate for His Majesty to choose," the ministers said in unison.

Tang Ling didn't express her position immediately, she turned her head to look at Shangguan Xiu, and asked with a smile: "Guogong really thinks that it is the best for me to select it,"

Shangguan Xiu nodded and said, "The minister has no objection,"

"In this case, the final selection will be decided by me," Tang Ling pondered for a moment as he spoke, and said: "After the dispersal of the dynasty today, this matter can be announced to the world, the time is fifteen, and after the fifteenth, the cloth village participating in the election can go to the palace together, and I and all Aiqing will be selected together,"

"Your Majesty," the ministers said in unison,

"Wei Chen has one more word," Cai Xiao said: "In the next fifteen days, it is not appropriate for the general to meet with the Gu family again......"

Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Xiu interrupted: "It just so happens that I also have something to announce to you, in the next few days, Your Majesty and I will go to Shah to inspect, and it will be around the fifteenth, so Lord Cai's worries are really unnecessary,"

Hearing Shangguan Xiu's words, Cai Xiao couldn't go up or down in one breath, his old face turned red, Qiu Yi arched his hand and asked, "Your Majesty and Your Highness want to go to Shah to inspect, what ......is this?" Now, I'm afraid it may not be the right time,"

Shangguan Xiu asked, "Lord Qiu is worried that the rebels will take the opportunity to attack,"

"Exactly," if it's just that Tang Ling isn't there, it's a little better, if even Shangguanxiu isn't there, and the Zhenjun group of dragons is leaderless, the situation is too dangerous, once the rebels attack, what will they do to defend against the rebels,

Shangguan Xiu said with a smile: "Lord Qiu is too worried, I'm not worried about the rebels attacking, I'm afraid that the rebels won't attack, this time I left Beijing with Your Majesty, part of the reason is to lure the snake out of the hole,"

Cai Xiao lost no time in standing up and said: "Your Highness's move, but you can't get angry with the old minister, if the general really wants to give up the business of the new military uniform to Baifeng Buzhuang to do, the old minister can retract what he just said, and he will not ask about this matter in the future,"

Shangguan Xiu secretly sighed, Cai Xiao's ability to splash dirty water, if he is called the second in the world, no one dares to call it the first in the world.

Without waiting for Shangguan Xiu to answer, Tang Ling's face sank, and he said: "The matter of going to Shah to inspect was discussed between Guogong and me a long time ago, Cai Aiqing accused Guogong of using this matter to deliberately get angry with you, it is really untargeted, full of nonsense,"

Cai Xiao's body was shocked, and he hurriedly knelt on his knees, kowtowed forward, and said in a trembling voice: "Weichen lost his words, please forgive your majesty,"

Tang Ling waved his hand and said, "During the period when I and Guogong were not in Xijing, the affairs of the court and the central government were handed over to Cai Aiqing, Qiu Aiqing, and Han Aiqing."

"Wechen obeys,"

"Also," Shangguan Xiu continued: "Here, all decisions implemented by the DPRK and China need to be signed by the three adults, and if something goes wrong, the three adults must also be fully responsible,"

"Yes, Your Highness,"

After explaining everything that should be explained, Tang Ling motioned to the female official beside him to sing, and the ministers had nothing to do again, Tang Ling announced his retirement from the dynasty,

Cai Xiao returned to Cai's mansion and immediately summoned his second son Cai Huang,

Cai Huang is in his early thirties, looking at his appearance, he has a good skin, his eyebrows are colorful, his eyes are like stars, his face is like a crown of jade, his lips are red and his teeth are white, his demeanor is graceful, and he can be called a rare beautiful man.

Cai Xiao's eldest son, Cai Hui, was trained in the way of Cai Xiao's successor, Cai Hui was already a deputy envoy of the interior before he was thirty years old.

The eldest son Cai Hui is in politics, and the second son Cai Huang is in business, and Cai Huang's industry is all in charge of Cai Huang.

"Father," Cai Huang walked up to Cai Xiao and bowed respectfully,

Looking at the second son of Yushu Linfeng, Cai Xiao's face was full of gentleness, he first nodded, and then waved his hand to the side, signaling him to sit down, and then, he told Cai Huang about the things that happened this morning, and finally he asked: "Huang'er thinks that our Cai family should fight or not fight for the title of imperial merchant,"

"With my father's status in the court, even if I don't have the title of an imperial merchant, my Cai family is also the number one merchant in the Wind Country," Cai Huang pondered for a moment and said: " It's just that people are not good for a thousand days, flowers are not red for a hundred days, what will happen in the future, who dares to assert it, not to mention, Shangguan Xiu's position is becoming more and more stable, this rebel rebellion will only further improve Shangguan Xiu's status, if you want to bring down Shangguan Xiu, I am afraid it will be more and more difficult in the future, and my father should also make more plans, if the Cai family can get the title of an imperial businessman, it is an extra layer of insurance, the child thinks, the name of the imperial businessman, our Cai family still needs to fight,"

Cai Xiao nodded again and again, and looked at Cai Huang with a look of appreciation, his second son, who is thoughtful and does things safely, is the son who makes him the most assured.

He said: "Huang'er is reasonable, but the title of this imperial merchant is not so good, and I am afraid that he will have to donate a lot of silver,"

"As long as it is worth it, even if you donate more silver, it will be beneficial to our Cai family," Cai Huang said quietly: "Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, piled up on the shore, the flow will be turbulent; the line is higher than the people, the public must not, the Cai family's family business is too big, it is inevitable to be jealous of others, others are jealous, but not afraid, the most afraid is to be jealous of His Majesty, donate more silver, so that His Majesty is less jealous of our Cai family, for my father, for our Cai family, there is also a hundred benefits and no harm,"
