Hongnong Yang's mansion.

As Fang Yuan, the head of the Hongnong Yang family had to greet him personally.

Now the highest status of the Hongnong Yang family on the surface is Yang Shufei, and then Yang Gongren, who is the pastor of Yongzhou.

But Concubine Yang Shufei is the emperor's woman, it is impossible for her to live in Hongnong Yang's mansion, and Yang Gongren does not live in the mansion.

So now the Hongnong Yang clan is in charge of Yang Shidao, the commander of the horses, the current servant of the ministry, and he first met Fang Yuan in Langzhou.

"Fang Shangshu, come here, you have lost your welcome!"

Yang Shidao took the family to greet Fang Yuan at the door.

"Yang Shilang is polite, polite."

Fang Yuan quickly stepped forward to return the salute.

Xue Bowu on the side handed the gift to Mrs. Yang.

After the two sides were polite for a while, they slowly entered the mansion.

"Fang Shangshu came this time, why did he come here?"

After entering the mansion, Yang Shidao was not polite.

It was impossible for a big man like Fang Yuan to come in person.

If it's okay, the identities between each other should not meet in private, this is the rule of officialdom.

And now that the eldest grandson Wuji has just taken the position, Fang Yuan has come to find him, which is somewhat inappropriate.

Thinking of this, Yang Shidao was a little uneasy.

I think that back then, when I first met Fang Yuan in Langzhou, Fang Yuan was still a small Langzhou assassin.

At that time, I didn't take him to heart.

But he never thought that a few years later, Fang Yuan was already in front of him.

"I came back from outside and found that prices were generally rising everywhere."

"Prior to this, the Governor of Jingzhou, Wu Shitong, had written to His Majesty to explain the rise in prices."

"And His Majesty said that it is very likely that his two daughters suggested the samurai tong's play, so I came to talk to them."

Fang Yuan explained his intention and said slowly.

When the words fell, Mrs. Yang and the others looked at each other.

"Wu Shun and Wu Ruyi?"

Yang Shidao looked at Mrs. Yang and them, but didn't see Wu Shun and Wu Ruyi.

According to the rules, Wu Shun and Wu Ruyi were outsiders and couldn't greet Fang Yuan with them, so they weren't here.

"Are they there?"

Fang Yuan also looked at Mrs. Yang.

There are more than a dozen of them, but there should be no Wu Shun and Wu Ruyi.

Among them, Fang Yuan also saw Yang Yuzhi and greeted him with a bow.

"In the backyard, I had people go and inform them."

Yang Shidao gestured to Mrs. Yang.

Mrs. Yang understood, and left after saying a word.

At the same time, the others present also left.

After they greeted Fang Yuan, they could leave, and they were not allowed to stay.

After all, Fang Yuan might have talked to Yang Shidao about something they couldn't listen to, and it was inconvenient to stay.

Not long after, a pair of similar-looking sisters appeared, they were slim, with fine skin and tender flesh, and their beauty was like snow.

"Wu Shun (Wu Ruyi), meet Fang Shangshu."

The Wushun sisters saluted Fang Yuan.

At this moment, Fang Yuan learned who the two were sisters.

In fact, from the beginning, Fang Yuan also had a guess, because his sister's body size was larger than his sister's.

But it's not that my sister's body size is very large, she is still slender, it's just that my sister is relatively young, so her body size is relatively small.

"Excuse me, please be seated."

Fang Yuan said.

The two sisters didn't respond immediately, but looked at Yang Shidao on the side.

"Just sit down."

"Fang Shangshu, I won't disturb you chatting, you can call me if you have something."

Yang Shidao said with a smile.

As he spoke, he got up and prepared to leave.

Because Fang Yuan came over with business this time, it was inconvenient for him to stay.

If it is a private matter, no matter who he sees, there is no problem for him to stay.

"Thank you, Yang Shilang."

Fang Yuan got up and sent him off.

The Wushun sisters sent Yang Shidao away.

Soon, the huge hall was left with Xia Yuan and the Wushun sisters.

"Fang Shangshu, what are you looking for our sister?"

Wu Shun looked at Fang Yuan and asked.

"Do you know about your father's rising prices?"

Fang Yuan asked.

"I don't know."

Wu Shun shook his head and said.

But before the words were finished, Wu Ruyi on the side interrupted, saying that she knew.

"I want to ask, is there a solution?"

Fang Yuan looked at Wu Ruyi and asked.

"Is the reason why prices are rising because Huaxia Qian Zhuang has printed too much money?"

Wu Ruyi didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

"Yes."

Fang Yuan said.

"My father told me that if there is too much money printed in Huaxia Bank, the first step is to stop printing banknotes."

Wu Ruyi is colorful.

"An order has been given to stop printing banknotes, what about the second step?"

Fang Yuan looked at Wu Ruyi seriously and asked again.

"The second step, my father is not very sure, he said that since the price of Huaxia Qian Zhuang has risen due to printing money, it is also possible to print money and send it to the people, and slowly adjust the price problem."

Wu Ruyi said in a deep voice.

"That is, printing money and giving it to the people for free?"

"Wouldn't the market have more banknotes and prices higher?"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly.

"My dad said there was a difference."

"Prices are rising because most of the money printed goes to the hands of powerful people and businessmen."

"But if the money is distributed to the people, then the burden on the people can be reduced, and the problems caused by rising prices can be solved."

Wu Ruyi said slowly.

The voice is slow and powerful, and it seems to speak with thought, not like a paraphrase.

In fact, Fang Yuan didn't believe that it was Wu Shitong who said it, after all, the other party was a military general, and Li Shimin also said that it might be his daughter's idea.

Although there was speculation, Fang Yuan did not debunk it.

"The world is too big, there are too many people, and the project is too big, is there any other way?"

Fang Yuan thought for a moment and shook his head.

Not only is the project too big, but it is also not known how much money will be printed.

The most important thing is that once this is done, the problem of rising prices will not be solved, and it will always be so.

And the day when the money in the hands of the people will run out, then the problem of rising prices will seem to have not been solved.

Therefore, this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and is not suitable for use.

"My dad said there was another way, but it was relatively extreme."

Wu Ruyi thought about it and said in a deep voice.

"You say."

Fang Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked.

"If prices rise, then start with prices, so that prices do not rise, that is, from the source."

"The current price increase is mainly from the major news-sensitive families, and ordering them not to rise may be able to solve the problem."

Wu Ruyi's voice was a little quieter, and he seemed to be looking left and right.

Because this advice will offend many people, whether it is a family or a powerful person.

"Here's a way."

Fang Yuan frowned and said.

It's a true method, but it's not easy to execute and it's unethical.

Obviously, the money of the imperial court has depreciated, but it will cause dissatisfaction among the families if they do not let the price of the things of the families rise.

If it is in the pattern of Li Shimin, then the stability of the family must be maintained, even if it is the people who suffer the world first.

But what they met was Fang Yuan, and Fang Yuan didn't care if their family would be dissatisfied or not.

"Fang Shangshu, it's easy to offend the world's families, and it's hard to move an inch."

"If you're going to do it, don't say it's my dad's opinion."

Wu Ruyi said sneeringly.

For the sake of offending the world's families, she would rather not have this credit.

"It's not that exaggerated."

"It is completely possible to divert contradictions."

"Promise them foreign markets, and they will accept it."

Fang Yuan shook his head and smiled.

It would offend people to prohibit the price increase of the world's families.

But there are also compensations, such as countries such as Dongying and Goguryeo.

Dongying could collapse at any time, and Goguryeo was already under the control of the Tang Dynasty.

There are also Silla and Baekje, and I believe that they will not dare not let Datang go to them to reward them.

As long as they promise the families tax exemptions or other privileges to do business in these countries, they will not be too dissatisfied.

"Fang Shangshu is wise!"

Wu Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.

That's right, transfer the contradictions, give them to the big families to do business abroad, and the contradictions will not exist.

The foreign market is full of big profits, and I believe that no family will give up such a good opportunity.

Fang Shangshu is really wise, he knew that he didn't mention his father just now, and he regretted it.

"The two methods you mentioned are quite useful, are you interested in helping Huaxia Qian Zhuang to regulate it?"

Fang Yuan asked with a smile.

"Huh?"

"These two solutions are what my father came up with."

Wu Ruyi was a little moved, but he was still a little hesitant.

"I heard that you are going to be selected to be a talented woman in the palace."

"If you are willing to help Huaxia Qianzhuang control the rise in prices, I can help you speak to the emperor, postpone or even not enter the palace."

"Of course, if you are willing to enter the palace to be a talented woman, then I haven't said this."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

Looking at Wu Ruyi's appearance, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Thirteen or fourteen-year-old flower season girls are full of wisdom, and such a person is most likely unwilling to become a talented woman.

After all, the family is well-off, and there is no need to enter the palace to be a talented woman.

The status of talented women is quite low, and they may be talented women for the rest of their lives.

"I, I'm willing to help Huaxia Qianzhuang."

Wu Ruyi gritted his teeth and made a decision.

Yes, she doesn't want to enter the palace to be a talented girl.

She thinks that she is the first talented woman in Jingzhou, how can she be willing to enter the palace to be a talented woman of the emperor.

Seeing that Fang Yuan gave her hope, she decided to seize it.

"Sister, Dad will be angry."

Wu Shun interjected.

Wu Ruyi's entry into the palace to be a talented woman is the meaning of Wu Shi Tong.

Now that Wu Ruyi suddenly wants to disobey Wu Shi Tong's will, Wu Shi Tong will definitely be dissatisfied.

As an older sister, Wu Shun wants to remind Wu Ruyi that he can't let Wu Ruyi mess around.

"Dad is not around, I can make my own decisions."

Wu Ruyi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"You!"

Wu Shun was immediately so angry that his face turned red.

But when he opened his mouth, he only snorted coldly in the end.

"Fang Shangshu, when can I help you?"

Wu Ruyi ignored Wu Shun and looked at Fang Yuan and said.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I will go to Huaxia Qianzhuang to find Luxia to report."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

The problem of rising prices must be resolved as soon as possible.

Every day of delay could affect people in more places.

"Okay, I'll go to Huaxia Qianzhuang early tomorrow morning to find Green Summer to report."

Wu Ruyi said solemnly.

"Looking forward to your performance."

"Well done, I'll speak for you."

Fang Yuan got up, dropped two sentences and left.

Although Wu Ruyi is the only orthodox empress in history, it is also in history.

Now Wu Ruyi still looks jerky, or relatively smart, but he is not particularly outstanding.

If you want to help her avoid entering the palace to be a talented woman, then she has to have the corresponding value.

"I'll send you."

Wu Ruyi has no opinion.

Hurriedly got up to send Fang Yuan away.

"No need, just talk to Yang Shilang."

Fang Yuan waved his hand and said.

Normally, he should have to talk to Yang Shidao when he left.

But Fang Yuan is a scholar of the household department, and he is also a prince of the country, and his status is respected, so it is nothing to say it or not.

"Yes."

Wu Ruyi didn't keep up.

She knew that her identity was far from Fang Yuan.

Therefore, in the face of Fang Yuan's meaning, she didn't dare to disobey without understanding Fang Yuan.

"Sister, do you know what it means to be a talented woman in the palace?"

Wu Shun came to Wu Ruyi and said.

"Of course I do."

"I also know what will happen if I don't enter the palace to be a talented girl."

Wu Ruyi said indifferently.

"Changing your mind rashly will make it very difficult for Daddy!"

Wu Shun said angrily.

"Sister, I have my considerations, you don't need to say much."

Wu Ruyi shook his head and left directly.

This time she was selected to enter the palace as a talented woman for two reasons.

One is that the emperor thinks he is beautiful and wants to enter the palace by himself.

The second is that the emperor was dissatisfied with his father and deliberately beat his father.

The reason is that his father does not agree with the emperor's orders very much, but he agrees with the emperor.

And now that he chooses not to enter the palace, the emperor may be angry with his father, and his official position may not be guaranteed.

It's okay to sacrifice your own happiness for your father, but now that you have the opportunity not to sacrifice your own happiness, and you don't have to be angry with your father, why not catch it?

With Fang Yuan's power, it is entirely possible to keep himself and his father.

This is the hope that Wu Ruyi sees.

After Fang Yuan left, he didn't enter the palace again.

Even though it was only noon, Fang Yuan still chose to go home.

The two babies in the family are very strange to Fang Yuan, and Fang Yuan wants to accompany them more.

However, to Fang Yuan's surprise, as soon as he returned to the gate, he saw Wang Shiyu also coming.

"Hey, Fang Yuan, you don't work?"

Wang Shiyu asked curiously.

"I'm lazy."

"Inside, please."

Fang Yuan smiled and invited Wang Shiyu to enter.

Slack off?

Wang Shiyu couldn't help but laugh, only thinking that Fang Yuan was so funny.

It was the first time she had heard such high-sounding words, which was so surprising and made people want to laugh.

"How's business with the Western Regions lately?"

Fang Yuan asked as he walked.

"It depends."

"The land is too difficult to walk, and the waterway is inconvenient, so let's rest for a while."

The smile on Wang Shiyu's face gradually disappeared, and he said with a sigh.

The shadow of almost dying at sea lingered in her mind, and she shivered at the thought of it.

If it weren't for Fang Yuan's coincidence that she happened to pass by, she might have no bones left by now, devoured by a school of fish.

Thinking of this, Wang Shiyu's heart suddenly raced, her face was slightly hot, and she secretly looked at Fang Yuan.

"Since you're resting for a while, why don't I give you something to do."

"I'm going to build a steel ship, and I don't have a person in charge, how about you be the person in charge?"

Fang Yuan stopped, looked at Wang Shiyu seriously, and said.

Wang Shiyu's heart was already beating faster, but when Fang Yuan saw it like this, his heartbeat was faster.
