Zhu Song said and glanced back at Yang Xiao, looking at Yang Xiao's frightened virtue, it is estimated that after this prefect takes office, I am afraid that he will not take it in his pocket.

"The past is not to blame, now it is a new world, a new dynasty, Jianwen is incapable, which makes such a serious situation in the world, but this king does not blame you, after all, everyone is human, you are officials, and businessmen are also people, you just want to make more money."

"But ah, the higher you stand, the farther you can see, the higher you stand, the more clearly you can see, the officials in the world are all this virtue, how can the people above not know? If you take it, you will take it, but the official also has to do things, and you must not just eat and not do it? ”

Yang Xiao knew that Zhu Song had deliberately said it to him, and he was so frightened that his head was covered with cold sweat, all of which were fine beads of sweat, and he had never been so permeable as if he was sweating today.

"His Royal Highness is reasonable, the lower official is really enlightened!"

Zhu Song smiled and turned around and patted Yang Xiao on the shoulder.

"Whether it is Zhang Mao or other salt merchants, Lord Yang should not embarrass them in the future, Yangzhou is very important, and the salt tax of the two Huai must be supported by Huainan and Huaibei every year, and there must be no mistakes."

"The tax deferred tax of the two Zhejiang Huai adds up, there are more than 10 million taels every year, but don't suddenly drop this amount in the future, then I'm afraid that the king will come again, Lord Yang, can you know what the king has done in Hangzhou?"

Yang Xiao wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "The lower officials know that His Royal Highness has investigated many major cases in Hangzhou, please rest assured, how the two Zhejiang officials dare not guarantee it, but the salt tax of the two Huai, as long as the lower official is in office for one day, the salt tax of the two Huai will definitely not be less!" ”

"This is what the king wants from you!"

Zhu Song said, hugging Yang Xiao's shoulders and pointing to the boat below.

"This kind of scene will be watched many times in the future, but this king hopes that this will not be the case until the salt tax is due to be paid every year."

"The lower officials understand, understand ......"

……

Two days later, Zhu Song left Yangzhou Mansion by boat and returned to Jingshi, Yang Xiao watched His Royal Highness King Han's big ship get farther and farther away until it disappeared on the river, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Xiao said to the prefect beside him: "From today onwards, the officials of Yangzhou Mansion must restrain themselves and be diligent and thrifty!" Don't let the imperial court and Jinyi catch any of the handles of Yangzhou Mansion again, our level is over, and no one can protect if something happens in the future. ”

The prefect hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, don't worry, your Excellency, I will pass on your lord's order and let officials at all levels pay attention." ”

Yang Xiao doesn't think about tea and food these days, and thinks about this highness every day, what is he always doing to scare himself? He knows that scaring people is the tradition of the old Zhu family, and Zhu Song is okay, if he meets the current Yongle Emperor, the eldest son of the family will be scared, and he still cares about you as a prefect?

Yang Xiao went home, on the other side of Yangzhou Port, in a carriage, Ye Biqing saw His Royal Highness's ship getting farther and farther away, and she also lowered the sedan curtain.

"Since His Royal Highness has left, then we should also move, in the past few days, this official has been looking at the green buildings all over Yangzhou, and selected a good garden with a good land area, since you want to do the green building, then you must choose the one with the greatest potential."

"By the way, His Royal Highness actually said that Qinglou and the casino are both good places to find out the news, so we will also study and build a casino."

Yu'er giggled beside her: "Miss is really talking more and more like an official of Jinyi now." ”

Ye Biqing glanced at Yu'er delicately: "What do you know?" This official is now the official of Jinyiwei, what does it mean? Also, Yu'er, you have to pretend to be a man outside, this Jin'er is a child who hasn't grown up, how to dress up, there is a cute childishness on her face, she holds her pipa all day long and doesn't let go, and she sleeps with her arms, these fifty Jinyi guards handed over to me by His Royal Highness, I have to leave ten people to protect her, but these forty people are enough, and the next thing depends on the two of us. ”

Yu'er also said in the same way: "Obey orders!" When will Lord Ye also be a lowly petty official, I don't have to be a commander, I just be a general banner! ”

Ye Biqing smiled and nodded Yu'er's nose: "Don't call me an adult outside, you can't call me Miss, you have to call me a son, remember, the two of us are now sons who came to Yangzhou from Beijing to play, we have to make the owner of the Yangzhou Xiaoxiang Pavilion think that the two of us are wearing good brocade clothes and temperament, maybe we think they are the children of high-ranking officials in Beijing." ”

"I understand, Childe, just wrap it up on me."

After half the incense had passed, the carriage stopped.

Ye Biqing's guards opened the sedan curtain and set the steps, Ye Biqing got out of the carriage with the support of the child, the moment the sedan curtain was opened, Ye Biqing changed the shrewd face again, and at this moment the eyes were as simple as chicks.

The rumors that came out between the eyebrows are that I am very rich, and I have a lot of power in my family.

The turtle in this green building, as well as the old bustard who is soliciting customers outside, are all more shrewd than the other, where did the guest officer come from? How much silver is there? You can estimate how much money is in your house.

There is also a little more powerful, looking at the gait of the guest officer walking, and the temperament of the conversation, you can roughly estimate whether the guest officer is an official in Beijing or a local official, whether he is a civil official or a military attaché, which is very powerful.

Ye Biqing can be regarded as the natural enemy of their industry, what Ye Biqing is best at is hiding her true gait habits, so every movement and every look that Ye Biqing has made since getting off the carriage has been carefully designed.

Isn't this just a turtle who was the first to see Ye Biqing's valuable clothes and felt that this little brother was really beautiful, this temperament of gestures has the bookish spirit of a scholar, and the arrogance of a rich boy who is used to spending money!

This, this, this is simply the best guest of our Xiaoxiang Pavilion!

The turtle man hurriedly gave the old bustard a look, and the old bustard actually noticed this Ye Biqing and hurriedly took it.

"Ouch, where did this boy come from? Look at the noodles! When the son comes to our Yangzhou, then he must come to our Xiaoxiang Pavilion and enjoy it, the girl in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion is beautiful! The dishes in Xiaoxiang Pavilion are good, and the little wine in Xiaoxiang Pavilion will definitely not disappoint you! ”

Ye Biqing looked at this old bustard, with an expression of meeting an old friend in a foreign country, pointing at this old bustard, and immediately shouted with a northern accent.

"Mother Feng, don't you recognize me?"
