You Ji thought about it, but he still felt that he would either go by himself, anyway, You Sanchun would have invited him. It just so happened that the emperor was asking him to find out what You Sanchun wanted.

In fact, he couldn't figure it out for a few days.

What more could a widow ask for in bringing her husband's family business to what it is today?

is not satisfied with the identity of a businessman, or does he feel that he has to work for his youngest daughter.

Coincidentally, they still have the same surname, even if they put away the silver ticket, it feels much smoother.

Sometimes it is even more strange between people, that is, the person who gave the money feels that the other party has received it, and the relationship seems to be closer.

"Speaking of which, our family has something to understand, that day in front of the emperor, our family reminded you, if you need anything, mention it to the saint, why do you always refuse to speak?"

"Gonggong Xie takes care of it, and the slave family is grateful." The woman lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, although she was already old, she still had the charm of a half-old, and said softly: "It's just that the worries of the saints are the major affairs of the country." The slave family is so upset, how dare they disturb the saint? ”

"You can't be wrong about that. It doesn't matter, these slaves and maids in our family want to share the emperor's worries, so that the emperor will not be entangled in some trivial matters. You Dongjia, you gave a gift to the emperor this time, and the emperor also regarded you as his own person, if there is anything inconvenient to say in front of the emperor, you can also tell our family. ”

You Ji also brought some goods, "Although our family is not a high-ranking person, we can always do something." ”

"My father-in-law tormented the slave family. I heard that the emperor is still angry, and he can't even see the face of the minister. Some of the enemies of the slave family's business are afraid that they are secretly having fun. Many people said that the house offered by the slave family was not to His Majesty's wishes, so the Son of Heaven was furious. ”

"It's no small feat."

If people think that Hui Yan has such a problem, I don't know how much trouble it will take.

"Father-in-law has heard of the Shanyang Fang Clan?"

"There isn't even a single important minister surnamed Fang in the court, I'm afraid it's a small clan here, right? We've never heard of it. ”

"Of course, it's small for my father-in-law, but it's a local snake."

You Di listened slowly, and gradually understood her thoughts, "Don't use the word ground snake. In our eyes, there is no land snake in this world. What did you just say this Fang clan did? ”

"Father-in-law forgives sins. The Fang family started as an official eunuch, and now the Fang family is the talker, and his father is the original governor of Zhejiang. ”

You Ji raised his eyebrows, "Supervising the grain road? Surname Fang? ”

"Fang Mingyong."

The old eunuch shook his head, in his understanding, the four-grade officials of the Grain Dao were all over the street, unless he did something special, he really didn't know.

The so-called grain overseer is the official who supervises the transportation of grain and grass.

Its responsibilities are somewhat similar to those of the later director of the Department of Agriculture and the director of the Food Bureau, and the Ming Dynasty set up one of the thirteen political envoys, and generally served by the political envoys in the yamen.

Therefore, it is not a chief official, it is not a high-ranking official, but its responsibilities are not small, and its power is not small. As an official who supervises the transportation of grain and grass, he is generally short of fertilizer.

And the responsibility is heavy, because the Ming Dynasty was a tax system.

That is, in this prefecture and this county, how much money and grain should be paid this year, then the responsible officials should make up this amount.

But how to put it together can actually be operated.

Moreover, since the birth of taxation, there have been various means of tax avoidance, which taxes are collected and how much they collect, which is a reason.

Therefore, some people often bribe these officials in order to evade taxes.

Of course, the task in the hands of the officials must be completed, as long as the money and food are sufficient, the higher authorities will not track it down, but in the end it is the other group of people who are unlucky.

……

……

"Speaking of which, this You Dong family has an enmity with this Fang family." Zhu Houzhao probably understood.

"The slave maid is a rootless person, I can't understand it, but outsiders are saying that in the early years, the You Dong family also had a bit of beauty, and even now it has no taste. The people of the Fang family originally wanted to get both people and money, but in the end, the reality was that both people and money were empty, so that the two sides had formed a bond.

After all, the You Dong family is a merchant, and the Fang family has the background of the government, that is, the emperor's prestige is protected, otherwise ordinary people will not be able to hold on no matter what. ”

This kind of bridge that often appears in history and is used to save people for the protagonist Zhu Houzhao is not unfamiliar at all.

However, he is the emperor, and he stands too high, and the things he thinks about are not simply punishing evil and promoting good.

He didn't have that much blood, but he was rubbing the slippery porcelain cup while staring at the flying tea leaves and thinking.

"So...... This woman still knows the general thing, at least she didn't borrow a knife to kill someone, but borrowed it from my head. The Son of Heaven was being used to take revenge, and this thing is not so nice to hear, nor is it so fun. But this is just her side of the story, it's hard to say whether it's like this or not, anyway, you can take a look, secretly check this Fang family, don't come forward, the identity is too sensitive, contact a secret son of Dongchang. Also, keep your mouth shut about this matter, even if it's the two scholars. ”

"Yes, the slave knows."

This is not because Zhu Houzhao is ruthless and indifferent, but because as an emperor, there are too many means to achieve the goal, even if the fact is that the Fang clan has not dared to do anything, then there is no need to rush at all.

Directly ending up, arresting an official eunuch clan for a widow in charge of a salt merchant is not a smart thing. And there is a risk of being deceived and used.

In fact, if there was really something wrong with the Fang family, then the governor's yamen had also shown its grievances, so this family should not be able to escape.

If he hadn't run away, then as an emperor, wouldn't he have done it invisibly?

Moisturizing things silently, the level is high to a certain extent, that's it.

If he ran away, and the information given to him by You Sanchun and You Di was that the Fang clan was doing evil, then the emperor would probably know what the gang of governors and yamen were doing.

If he ran away, and finally verified it, the Fang clan actually didn't do anything.

That's You Sanchun talking nonsense.

In short, there is a lot of information, and it is necessary to match each other.

Zhu Houzhao squinted his eyes, his expression was ordinary, he seemed to be drinking tea and enjoying the scenery, and he didn't say anything, but in fact, he already had a kind of calmness that he was in control.

"Later, they went to the governor's yamen, right?"

You Ji has been by the emperor's side all the year round, and he can understand these headless words even if he guesses half of them, so he immediately nodded and said, "It's all gone." ”

"Look, my ministers are smart."

"If you're smart, you can't turn it into the palm of the emperor's hand."

Zhu Houzhao laughed, things were organized in his mind, and he was a little idle, and asked teasingly: "You just said that you, a rootless person, can't even recognize whether a woman is beautiful or not, is this true or false?" ”

You Ji was slightly embarrassed, and said without tears: "Your Majesty, just spare the slave and maid, the slave and maid's hair is gray, even if you are a good person, it will not work." ”

Zhu Hou looked at his old face and cried and wanted to clean him up, "Go and go, don't dangle in front of my eyes, and do what I have to do." ”

"Eh, the slave and maid will disappear and let Your Majesty purify your eyes."

This time I am going to the Fengyang Mausoleum in the central capital, and there is an old friend of theirs there, and I don't know if You Ji will have more thoughts in his heart.
