"Yao Niangzi, the concubine is, she guessed it. This, the only one who can be the master in this backyard is the three of us ladies, Yao Niangzi, you are generous, kind, open-minded, and personally recommended our two sisters to Du Hu, you will definitely not do such a despicable and obscene thing, then, that concubine thinks about it, and only Nian Nian's sister can do this. ”

"Oh, it turns out that Miss Sisi thinks so highly of me. But Miss Sisi is afraid that she has misunderstood, the poison of this wisteria powder happens to be given to you by me personally. ”

Yao Yun looked at her with a smile and a smile on the ground, and the gentlest tone actually said the most vicious words.

Sisi's eyes were suddenly filled with fear, she shook off her hand suddenly, raised her hand to press the stinging and spicy cheek, and trembled her lips and couldn't speak: "Yao Niangzi, you, you, why do you want to ......"

"That's how you're going to show your feet, aren't you? Also, you've been so favored recently, and Du Hu is also a person who misses old love, why don't you ask Du Hu to make decisions for you? ”

"You, you, me, me...... You already knew it, didn't you......" She tightly grabbed the brocade quilt in front of her, crying silently, it turned out that she was just an extremely ignorant clown in this scene!

Yao Yun looked at her with a smile on her face, and gently straightened her dress, and easily lifted her eight-torn skirt to her knees.

Her knees were black and blue on both ends, and the scars on the top of the broken skin had scabbed, deep and shallow, with new and old wounds. When she stayed in Qingsongyuan, she should have knelt on the cold and hard floor for a long time, and she dragged her knees back and forth to wear back and forth, so she was scarred here.

"In this era, a woman's life is thinner than paper, so a woman's face is the most important. If I have a way to restore your face to its original state, would you tell me what I want to know? ”

She looked up at her sharply, her eyebrows furrowed, not knowing if the deal was worth it, not knowing if she would survive.

Half an hour later, Yao Yun finally returned to the dungeon.

Nian Nian looked at the lady in front of her calmly and confidently, looking at her indifferently as if she was pinching an ant to death at random. She had only seen such a clear and calm appearance in one person, and that was her true Allah.

"Niannian, have you figured it out? This is the only chance. ”

"Think, think clearly, I, I said. Please also ask Mrs. Yao to take care of my family. ”

Nian Nian pursed her jade lips tightly, and reluctantly confessed to the person behind her.

After getting a clear answer, Yao Yun felt that it was both unexpected and reasonable. She ordered Xiao Shisan to take care of people first, and then deal with Xiao Chengyu.

At the beginning of August, the autumn is high and cool, the sky is slightly cool, and the geese pass by the voice.

Taking advantage of her free days, Yao Yun went out of the mansion at this time, but this time she only brought Xue Huai and the fourteenth and two people.

Although far north of the Tianshan Mountains, Mr. Pillow Stone's prestige and fame will continue to be built, and his paintings will continue to be bought and sold.

She depicted what she saw and felt along the way on rice paper, outlining the vast scenery of the Tianshan Desert North, and successfully completed a "Summer Desert Travel Map" this time. The mountains and mountains stand majestically, the vast desert jumps in front of you, the brushwork is thick and solid, and the strange and steep brushstrokes faintly reveal the heroic spirit of the iron bones.

Yao Yun was looking around looking for help, when she suddenly heard someone calling her behind her, and the voice was quite familiar.

"Yao, Yao Niangzi!"

She turned around and saw a clear Langjun with a spring breeze on his face walking towards her quickly, it turned out to be him.

"Yao Niangzi, it's really you."

"Cui Langjun is fine."

Yao Yun saw that he seemed to be talking to a post man in his ear, his face was relaxed and happy, his expression was calm and calm, and he confirmed the guess in her heart. This person is not ordinary.

"Why is Mrs. Yao here? Is there something I need to send out urgently? There is a familiar post man below, if the lady does not dislike it, I can help you ask for it. ”

Yao Yun thought for a moment, of course she had to make good use of the tools she had at hand, so she agreed with a smile: "The little girl is still worried about this matter, but fortunately, Cui Langjun helped, and the little girl is welcome." ”

She carefully explained to the little brother who knew the post man well, if he successfully sent the cloth bag back to the Boundless Bookstore in Chang'an City, there would be a heavy reward at that time.

"Cui Langjun, thanks to you this time. The little girl was grateful. ”

Cui Langjun looked at her with a smile and bowed his hand respectfully to her: "Yao Niangzi is serious, thanks to a few words from Yao Niangzi last time, I suddenly became enlightened and gained a lot." ”

"That's good. Later, I inquired about the price of salt in the city, but in a few days it had dropped slightly to two hundred and forty dollars. I wonder if this good news has anything to do with Cui Langjun? ”

Yao Yun's voice was sweet and gentle, but her bright eyes were staring at his square face, trying to find something carefully from his face.

But Cui Langjun's face was pale, and he scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, but his eyes were still looking at her frankly.

"Yao Niangzi is high-minded, but she is just an ordinary scholar below, and she has no great ability. I mentioned it to the elders in the family, and it should be that the elders in the family made suggestions to the officials. ”

She smiled, looked away from him, and said coldly, "But the price of two hundred and forty yuan is still a little inflated." The little girl was thinking that if the price was set only by the prison, it would be more difficult for the price problem to be further changed. Has Cui Langjun ever thought about introducing a way for merchants to bid? ”

Cui Langjun's eyes were scorching, and he looked at her with more concern: "Is it possible to combine government and business to increase competition in order to lower the price of salt goods?" ”

"Yes, in fact, this law is still by the government to purchase salt goods uniformly, but the government directly resells the salt goods to several merchants with formal qualifications. If merchants want to do a good job, they will try their best to improve the quality of their salt goods and at the same time strive for better prices to attract customers. The government will not lose tax revenue, and it can earn more tax money from the wealthy merchants, so why not? ”

Cui Langjun's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized, this method is similar to the salt tax reform method of Tongzhou Thorn Shi Liuyan in Jiangnan Province that she mentioned, and it can indeed be thought about and practiced.

"Thank you, thank you Mrs. Yao, I know."

Yao Yun smiled, put on his hat again and was about to leave.

Cui Langjun didn't dare to forget it this time, and hurriedly walked to the side and raised his hand to stop her, and the roots of her ears were like dyed with beautiful Dan-colored paint, a large piece of red.

——————————

In the first year of Yongchun, the salt and iron envoys were divided into two, and the Tang government divided the country into two major financial regions, called the "Eastern District" and the "Western District", with the Fifth Qi in charge of the Western Region (Northern and Sichuan) and Liu Yan in charge of the Eastern Region (South).

During the period when Liu Yan presided over the finance of the Eastern District, he began the reform of the salt monopoly, established the inspection agency, and created the salt monopoly system of civil system, official revenue, commercial transportation and commercial sales, which is known as the "on-site monopoly" system of salt in history.
