In the house, Lin Zhi explained carefully to them from beginning to end.

On the day of Zhuangzi's farewell, Qin Luan and others took a carriage to the west, and the rest of them had to think of other ways.

After discussing with Mrs. Yongninghou, the eldest princess of Pingyang chose to fight alone.

Her identity is here, no matter what the holy decree says, as long as she doesn't recognize it, no one in Qiyang can do anything about her.

On the contrary, she can contain the Yan family and Tang Chip.

With the eldest princess tossing Qiyang, the government soldiers are short of manpower, not to mention going up the mountain to find it, and even the official road can't be turned.

Mrs. Yongning Hou and the others were cautious and set off again, detouring out of the Qiyang realm.

After that, it's stop-and-go.

Lin Zhi is very familiar with the eldest princess's private estate, which is convenient for them to settle everywhere.

The benefits of not rushing to the road have gradually become apparent over time.

The officers and soldiers of those state capitals could not afford to spend it.

And when the good news came from the border pass, there were more people who wanted to return to their hometowns, and they were mixed in with the situation, which could be regarded as "hidden in the city".

"The most important thing is that Deng Guoshi is a good entry point, we know, and the Queen Mother also knows," Lin Zhi laughed when she said this, "For the sake of safety, we also need a reason to hide in the shadows." ”

They proved to be prescient.

Deng Guoshi was killed.

"You mean the mines?" Lin Fan asked, "When Qiyang opens a mine, the regulations are complete. ”

"The amount set by the first emperor during his reign is set by three points of tax and seven points of purchase," Lin Zhi asked, "You know this, right?" ”

Lin Fan's head.

At that time, everything was in ruins, the treasury did not have a penny of silver, and the price of the imperial court was not high, so in the next 20 years, the price was raised twice.

Lin Zhi said: "It should have been eight years ago, when the price was raised for the second time, it was changed to no quota by the way. ”

Lin Fan pursed his lower lip.

Vaguely, he could feel some of the problems.

"At that time, there was a drought in Qiyang, the harvest was poor, and the imperial court had to provide disaster relief," Lin Zhi said, "Qiyang Mansion proposed that in such a situation, even the land and property could not be saved, and it was really unable to complete the quota. ”

Qin Luan also heard some taste: "After the disaster has passed, the number of exempted quotas has not been restored?" ”

Lin Zhi glanced at her approvingly and nodded.

The earlier quota was also based on the ability of the Qiyang Mansion during the founding of the first emperor, and it was set at an amount that could be fully completed.

With the development of internal affairs, Qi Yang's manpower and material resources are not the same as before, and the amount is actually less than Qi Yang's ability.

As a result, the Yan family, who controlled the Qiyang Mine, not to mention completing it, also took advantage of the drought to brush away the matter of establishing a quota.

"In the past eight years, the amount of mining reported by Qiyang Mansion every year has been high and low, which can be explained to some extent," Lin Zhi paused and said, "But it is not true." ”

After all, once it is reported, only three points of the family remain, and seven points are bought by the imperial court at a limited price.

But as long as it is underreported, the part that is hidden will not be divided, and the price will not be lowered, and you can buy and sell as you want.

"Does the Queen Mother know about this?" Qin Luan asked.

After asking, Qin Luan himself shook his head first.

The Empress Dowager, and even the Auxiliary Prince's Mansion, may also be kept in the dark by the clansmen.

Jiangshan is Zhao Li's Jiangshan.

The Yan family concealed the report, and it was the treasury of the queen mother's own son, how could she agree?

And the clan relatives, far away from the capital, are naturally not as good as money.

The emperor's relatives are majestic, but they are in Qiyang, isn't the emperor of Qiyang majestic enough?

Moreover, if the Empress Dowager knew about it, she would never let the eldest princess stay in Qiyang with her ruthlessness in killing Deng Guoshi with her bottom of the kettle.

Lin Fan was also pondering Qiyang.

In all dynasties, regardless of whether it is allowed or not, it is impossible to eradicate the matter of private mining.

In gold, silver, copper, lead, iron and other mines, there are various systems such as the point system, the right purchase system, and the quota system, and there are many parallel systems.

The imperial court has the rules of the imperial court, and the local government has local means.

In the end, it's all about balancing each other.

Qiyang Mansion, because it is the Yan family's maiden family in charge of the mine, whether it is the first emperor or the emperor, they have given a lot of concessions.

It's just that no matter how much you let go, you can't satisfy your desires.

The Yan family relied on the mine to make a fortune, and in troubled times, how much did they dig and earn, and so many gold and silver mountains were in their eyes, how could they be willingly drawn and detained?

Underreporting and concealment can naturally be imagined.

"The eldest princess wants to find out how much Qiyang Mansion has concealed in the past few years?" Lin Fan pondered and said, "This is not easy to check. ”

Of course, the Yan family has account books, but it is impossible for the eldest princess to turn over such private accounts.

However, to conceal this matter, the Yan family also had to have Tang Chip's assistance.

"A rough number is enough to make a fuss." Lin Zhi said with a smile.

What they need is the point of entry.

On the side of Qingjun's side, without Deng Guoshi, you can take the Yan family on top.

As for the queen mother not knowing, it doesn't matter, anyway, she can't write two Yan characters in one stroke, it is her Yan clan relatives who are digging the corner of the Great Zhou.

They can catch Beijing by surprise when they are unaware.

"So," Qin Luan thought and said, "We have to go to Qiyang first?" ”

The specific implementation needs to be carefully considered.

Before the eldest princess left, she had a few words of discussion with Mrs. Yongning Hou, and in recent days, Mrs. Hou and Lin Zhi also pondered and got a preliminary idea, so that Qin Luan and others would go back and tell Yongning Hou that the old marquis would take the final idea.

The night is coming to an end.

Qin Luan and the others didn't stay long, got up and went back.

In the camp, there was still light in the main tent of the Marquis of Yongning, which showed that he had been waiting.

Qin Wei went in first.

Qin Luan lagged behind, turned his head and glanced at Lin Fan: "What are you thinking?" ”

Lin Fan returned to his senses, his gaze opposite Qin Luan.

Not far away, the brazier was burning, and the light of the fire shone over, reflecting half of Qin Luan's face, and also clearly reflected his figure in her eyes.

Lin Fan stared at Qin Luan's eyes for a moment before saying, "I just remembered what the eldest princess said before. ”

Qin Luan blinked.

"The time we went to see her together," Lin Fan said softly, "she said at the time that as long as I thought about it, she would support it." ”

Saying this, Qin Luan remembered it and naturally understood Lin Fan's feelings.

That day, the eldest princess only told Lin Fan that the things she had about her brother and sister-in-law would not be mentioned much and let Lin Fan choose for herself.

Give up, or work hard, she won't screw it hard, everything depends on Lin Fan's heart.

Before Lin Fan made his choice, from beginning to end, the eldest princess did not mention her own efforts, and did not regard those as Lin Fan's burden.

But in fact, looking back now, they will find that the eldest princess has been working hard in the shadows for the past twenty years.

sent to the palace and ranked among the four concubines; Along the way, the Zhuangzi and shops that are not in their names, but are safe enough, and the money brought by these industries; The handle of the Qiyang Yan family......

The eldest princess prepared a lot, a lot.
