In the streets and alleys of Kyoto, whether it is ordinary people or business students, the topic of conversation will fall on the regent.

There is a lot of joy in the words, but some people are still a little worried.

Although the national policy of revitalizing industry and commerce proposed by the Prince Regent when he left Kyoto two years ago has seen some results, it has been very good, at least for now.

He broke down the barriers that had existed for thousands of years, and let the merchants of the whole country completely free themselves from the shackles, and truly had the freedom to fly in the sky and the sea to leap freely.

But at the same time, it is also accompanied by some problems -

"It's a game where big fish eat small fish!"

Literary.

Moxiang Pavilion.

Cui Yu of Qinghe Cui's family looked at the dense fog that gradually dispersed outside the pavilion, and said worriedly:

"This would have been a great thing for our family......"

"My Cui family walked out of Qinghe County last year, and in just one year, the family business was extended to Jiangnan Province."

"When I left for Kyoto to take the exam, I heard my father say that according to this momentum, Cui's profit this year will at least double!"

After a pause, Cui Yu looked at the three Taiyuan Wang brothers who were sitting around, "I think your Wang family is the same!" ”

The eldest Wang Yichun bowed his head slightly and said with a smile: "Isn't this a very good thing? Why is Brother Cui full of sadness? ”

Cui Yu sighed:

"Brother Wang, don't forget the lessons of the past!"

"Think about it in the past three hundred years, how many capable people have you produced in the Taiyuan Wang clan and my Qinghe Cui clan?"

"Let's just say that in Kyoto, how many high-ranking officials in that palace are disciples of our family?"

"I heard my grandfather once say that when the three major families of our Ning Kingdom were at their most glorious, the officials of the DPRK and China accounted for a full sixty percent!"

"Even the position of prime minister is basically the three major families taking turns to sit."

"But what happened?"

"After Emperor Jinghua ascended the throne, in just half a year, the officials of our three major families in the court were confiscated, beheaded, and ......exiled."

"If it weren't for the fact that the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions happened to be in the war...... I'm afraid that our three major families will be uprooted by Emperor Jinghua and never exist again! ”

"Therefore, since then, my Cui ancestor has set new rules."

"The disciples of the clan must study, but they are never allowed to participate in scientific examinations, and can only do business."

"Since then, you, I and the Yingzhou Chen family have no children to enter the court as officials."

Now the regent has abolished the recommendation and implemented a fair scientific examination...... Grandpa may have seen something different about the regent, so he ordered me to come to Kyoto. ”

"There are thousands of disciples in the Cui Academy, but I was the only one who sent me...... First, I'm afraid it's to explore the way, and second, I don't want more children to become officials. ”

"You may be the same."

"But now I have another layer of concern."

Wang Yiqiu, the second elder of the Wang family, who was sitting opposite Cui Yu, frowned:

"What does Brother Cui mean...... This business is too easy to do, and it's scary to make too much money? ”

Cui Yu nodded:

"After all, the extra silver we earned originally belonged to other merchants!"

"We used a large amount of silver to buy other merchants' workshops, and occupied other people's markets at a lower price......"

"There will definitely be many small businessmen and small workshops that will go bankrupt or even ruin their families because of this!"

"Although this is the so-called fair competition issued by the imperial court, in fact, we all know that it is not fair at all!"

"That's going to cause a problem."

"When we really accumulate great wealth......"

Wang Yidong, the third elder of the Wang family, who was sitting on Cui Yu's left hand, was suddenly startled, he leaned over and said in a low voice:

"Could it be the regent, this is ...... Fish farming? ”

Cui Yu groaned for a few breaths, and his tone was extremely low:

"In the past, Emperor Jinghua was able to punish half of the ministers in the palace, but now the regent is short of silver, and he will take eighty percent of your family...... To give or not to give? ”

The boss Wang Yichun suddenly frowned, "In this way, this is also the same situation of a big tree!" ”

"Gotta send a letter home."

"You can't take too many steps...... Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles! ”

Cui Yu raised his head and looked outside the pavilion again.

It's past noon.

The fog has thinned.

The sunlight came through the fog, it was not dazzling, the light became a little brighter, and the world seemed to be a little wider.

"I heard that Mr. Chen Dingmao Chen of the Chen family in Yingzhou is on his way to Kyoto, and Mr. Chen has had contact with the regent in Linshui City, and it seems that he came here for the sake of luck."

"Along with Old Chen, there is also Old Lady Su of the Su clan in Jiangnan......"

"When they arrive in Kyoto, I'll wait for the juniors to visit again, and it's not too late to listen to their opinions before making a decision."

“…… Good! ”

Cui Yu took a deep breath and put this matter aside for the time being, with a smile on his face:

"By the way, Zhuang Dingchun Zhuang Gongzi invited me to listen to music in Yihong Mansion tonight...... My advice is to go! ”

"Don't underestimate this Zhuang Gongzi!"

"There are two reasons!"

"It is now a fact that our Ning Kingdom and Wu Kingdom are in trade, so in the future, our family's business is very likely to enter Wu Kingdom."

"Although the Zhuang family of Wu is not one of the five most famous families, the Zhuang family also has some heritage."

"Maybe this son will need to be a guide in the future, after all, we are not too familiar with Wu Guo."

"That's the second one......"

"This Zhuang Gongzi is a business genius I have ever seen!"

"Don't look at him as a gentleman, just because he can enter the cabinet and be received by Wen Shoufu, just because he can fight with Xiang Qingyun and Lord Xiang so quickly...... This boy, you must not be underestimated! ”

The three Wang brothers thought about it carefully, and they all nodded sincerely.

Wang Yichun suddenly asked:

"When the regent returns to Kyoto, I'm afraid we'll have to fill the vacancy. Brother Cui, what are you doing about my fourth sister......

Cui Yu's face suddenly tightened, and he suddenly stood up, "Ah, I suddenly remembered that I had an appointment with the old man Mei Fangxi of Taixue,"

He bowed, "Three brothers, I'll retire first, and we'll see you in the evening!" ”

Cui Yu pulled out his legs and ran away.

Wang Yiqiu pursed his lips, "This kid ...... He had never seen the fourth sister, and he was as afraid as a tiger! ”

Wang Yidong sighed: "Second brother, the fourth sister is more fierce than a tiger!" ”

"But when he was married, the marriage letter personally dropped by the heads of the two families, can he still resist it?"

“…… Poor thing, the fourth sister is almost in Kyoto, where else can he run? ”

……

The sunset is like blood.

So the mid-mountain was popular.

On the official road leading to Tamaki Castle in Kyoto, a girl came on horseback.

She wears a bright red dress.

He wears a huge hat on his head!

He carried a broadsword at his waist.

Riding a red horse.

Dressed in a brilliant sunset.

She looked up ahead, and a smile appeared on her slightly swarthy face:

"Hee-hee, Kyoto...... I'm coming! ”

Then, the smile on her face suddenly flickered: "Cui Yu! ”

"You wait for this girl!"

Her name is Wang Yixia!

Born in the summer.

As hot as the summer sun.

Not far in front of her, a carriage was parked on the side of the road, and beside the carriage stood a man and a woman.

Wang Yixia rode a horse and staggered past them, but unexpectedly a woman's voice came:

"Heroine ......"

Wang Yixia stopped his horse, turned his head, and his eyes suddenly lit up-

What a beautiful girl!
