Jian Ning jumped out of the carriage, and the coachman also stood in the distance with him.

He wanted to open his throat and shout so that the guys who were hiding in the shadows would come out and open the way. But he closed his mouth in amusement, what did he think? If they don't come out, they will burn high incense.

Xiangguo Mansion, in the luxuriously decorated hall, Xiangguo sat upright, and below him was Liu Changqing, Liu Changshi, who was reporting work. He is also a son of a businessman, and he was promoted by Lord Xiangguo by an exception.

Since ancient times, the emphasis on agriculture over commerce has made it almost difficult for the children of merchants to gain a foothold in the officialdom of the Han Dynasty, but they have some connections with businessmen. Even the provincial hospital examination is difficult to pass.

The law of the Han Dynasty clearly records that the children of merchants are not allowed to follow the ranks.

This also caused the entire officialdom of Yunzhou Mansion to be otherworldly. Lord Xiangguo is really not stingy when he faces the entire clan class alone.

As the county government of the same level of administrative system, it has long been suppressed and even used as a foil is a little redundant.

The Han Dynasty, the same level of the county.

This has to be said that the central management system of the Han Dynasty gradually declined. and scattered centralized decentralization. Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a person in his twilight years, and some things are just beyond his power.

This small court in a quiet corner seems to be not afraid of criticism, and all kinds of etiquette regulations are like the Han Dynasty. If the only difference is that Lord Xiangguo only wears plain clothes and does not wear official uniforms.

Captain Liu Changqing held the court, trying his best to suppress the excitement, no one thought before, it turned out that the academy could also become a major tax collector, if it wasn't for the autumn test because of the Chuzhou rebellion and shelved, then the tax silver of Yunzhou Mansion would only be more.

Lord Xiangguo bowed his head and said, "How is the tax situation this year?" Is there a detailed list? ”

Liu Changqing nodded and said, "It's basically all in storage." If you exclude the 1,720,000 taels of silver that were immediately sent to Jingshi as a tribute, and the 170,000 taels of silver for winter cold materials. At the end of the year, our treasury will hold at least 36,520,000 taels of silver. That's not counting the eighteen million that the Chuzhou government borrowed from us. This year, our Yunzhou Mansion is really a bumper harvest."

"How are the winter grain reserves prepared?"

"Basically, all of them have been put into storage, a total of 800,000 stones. This year, the rainfall in Yunzhou is scarce, and the yield per mu has been halved in many places. So we've reduced our taxes. It's something that can't be helped. So we are ready to buy another million stones from Da Chu. Not only can it exacerbate their food crisis. It also has some benefits for the civil strife in Chuzhou. It can better balance their motivation to raise troops"

Lord Xiangguo frowned and asked, "Da Chu is close to Yunzhou Mansion, so much grain from them?" ”

Liu Changqing smiled disdainfully and said: "The Great Chu magnates care about the life and death of their people, according to the information sent back by our people. This year they added two more layers. And less than 20% of the money is returned to the national treasury. The rest was all sold by them to Chuzhou and us. You can't live if you do your own evil! ”

Lord Xiangguo pondered and said, "Send the merchant's children into Dachu and prepare for the end." We want to take all the assets of the powerful people of Da Chu into our own hands. If there is a great Chu, Chuzhou and Yunzhou will be horizontally connected..."

After thinking about it, Xiangguo said: "It's too early to say this, what about the little seven numbers?" Does the national teacher have any people with us? ”

Liu Changqing said helplessly: "I disappeared in Lixia Pavilion, and we only found the bodies of a few Jinlingwei. There was no trace to be found. However, some people have seen the gentleman of Chang'an appear in the lower pavilion. It should be related to the national teacher. If it is confirmed, it can also explain why the national teacher has not asked us for someone for so long."

Lord Xiangguo nodded and said, "Is it the Killing City Division?" By the way, the two boys of the Mo family, you keep an eye on it, don't let them spoil the big thing, especially the robbery, he has the Shura armor, if he really tears his face, no one can stop him, let him check it, it's a big deal to let the national teacher clean up the mess. ”

Liu Changqing remembered the instructions of Lord Xiangguo in his hand, and said again: "Now that Jian Ning has come to Yunzhou Academy, I am afraid that I want to enter Confucianism, let's push it?" Maybe a good dark chess. ”

Lord Xiangguo nodded, "You decide for yourself, I won't care about these things, I just want the result." And my goal is to rule the river, and I have never hidden this from you. You go back to find Wang Jing, and say that the robber who left the lower pavilion is asking him to arrange for me to go to Yunzhou Mansion, no matter what position it is. It's not a way to hide like this, some things are better on the table."

"The robbery has already gone to Dachu, so the existence of Monk Yunyin will not be a secret. Secret order the merchant's children to find a few loyal people to go to the underground palace and get some things back. We have to study and understand how the Shura Armor works. Otherwise, you can only hide and hide, when will it be done?"

"Hey... That's right! Today is the day of enrollment of Yunzhou Academy, right? Don't have news from that guy yet? ”

Liu Changqing nodded: "I was about to report that Dean Sun was back, but he didn't really hide anything." I should come to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the next two days. This is his epistle to our secret guards. By the way, he's with Zaining now."

Lord Xiangguo took the letter in surprise, and he said, "After disappearing for so many years, you suddenly came back?" Didn't you hear something! ”

He looked at the letter, his face becoming solemn. Then he handed the letter to Liu Changqing and said, "Yunzhou Wei's matter! Ay... I can't hold the fire in the paper! ”

Liu Changqing took the letter and said with a solemn face: "Sun Qianwen is a straight person, I hope everyone is okay..."

Lord Xiangguo thought about it, and suddenly laughed, and he said, "Didn't you want to arrange for Zai Ning to be our person?" The ready-made pillows have been sent to you, so let's tell everyone openly that the robbery is ours, and I would like to see the faces of Confucianism and the Mo family. Hahaha" for some reason he actually laughed.

Liu Changqing understood what Lord Xiangguo meant after a little thought, and he couldn't help but wonder if it was too obvious.

However, there seemed to be no other way to break the situation, he nodded and said: "Then I will arrange it and tell those people in the dark that the robbery is ours." See how they reacted."

Lord Xiangguo said solemnly: "The bigger the trouble for me, the better, and it is best to involve the national teacher." Muddy waters are good for fishing! I... Sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman—" he waved his hand lazily. Liu Changqing saw the rules and regulations and retreated.

If the Han Dynasty is already dying, then the young eagle of Yunzhou Mansion seems to be about to soar into the sky as soon as it has the opportunity.

The child is still dancing with a sword, the reckless man embroiders the needle, the landscape is colorful, just waiting for the will! Don't talk about destiny, just come at your fingertips! Don't talk about the imperial power, turn it over!
