A moment later, Yang Ling, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, came out of the ranks.

"Your Majesty means that after Liang Xiao became a first-class imperial merchant, it included land trading, salt and iron, wine, and books...... Any industry he can be involved in? ”

The empress nodded and said, "Not bad!" In the future, Liang Xiao's business behavior represents my royal industry, what does Yang Qingjia think? ”

Yang Ling bowed his head and praised: "My emperor is Shengming! Now that the treasury is empty, there should be a few decent imperial merchants to serve the country. ”

"Lord Yang, what do you mean by this?" Duanmu Festival was furious.

Yang Ling said with a smile: "Lord Duanmu, Your Majesty has said everything about this, and if you oppose Liang Xiao's business, aren't you opposing Your Majesty, this ......?"

Duanmujie said in fear: "That's not what the old man meant! ”

"I emphasize again, Liang Xiao's business behavior represents the royal industry, why not for the sake of the country?" The empress said coldly.

Because Zhuge Hui also strongly supported it, the ministers realized that the empress had already had a precursor to anger, and they trembled, and no one objected anymore.

The empress saw it in her eyes and sighed in her heart.

She knew that Liang Xiao was right, and the reason why she was able to subdue the ministers now was because she firmly controlled the military power, which was inseparable from the management of her grandfather and father.

If he can't change the situation, within a few years, Da Zhou will inevitably fall apart, and the fate of himself and his sister can be imagined......

After all, Zhuge Hui should have been the only prime minister who was rightful to his name, but in order to appease these families, he only became the "right prime minister" and forcibly separated a "left prime minister".

The former Prime Minister Zuo was Dugu Ping, the head of the Dugu family in Jiangbei, and was later dismissed by her with an excuse, and the position of Prime Minister Zuo was left vacant.

Looking at the hundreds of civil and military officials who called Shengming down the stage, in a trance, she seemed to see the young man in white succeeding him as Prime Minister Zuo, ranking first among the hundred officials on the left, and leading the civil and military officials to salute her.

That guy, although he is a little brazen, is indeed the future pillar of the country!

At this moment, the empress felt that there was finally hope for the future.

At the same time, Liang Xiao personally took his subordinates to the bazaar and announced his plans in public.

"In the future, one percent of the profits from the sale of sugar in various places by my shops will be used to relieve the local displaced people on behalf of His Majesty, and fifty percent will be used to dedicate to the current emperor, and I will only take forty percent of the profits!"

After the news spread, the audience was in an uproar!

"Who knows how much profit you make from your sugar?" A Duanmu businessman scoffed.

Liang Xiao smiled and said: "This is not bothering, Your Majesty will send someone to regularly monitor my sugar mill to understand the cost." ”

The crowd was no longer opposed.

"Liang Gongzi is for the country and the people, but he can sing and cry!"

A shopkeeper of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion took the lead in raising his hand in praise.

As the largest buyer of a private transaction with Liang Xiao, they are destined to make a lot of money.

Even if the Dingguo Marquis Mansion is only from a commercial point of view, Liang Xiao's profits are greatly discounted, and sixty percent of them are dedicated to the empress, which means that Liang Xiao's industrial expansion will be greatly slowed down, and the Dingguo Marquis Mansion will not have to worry about being abandoned by Liang Xiao too quickly, or being threatened by Liang Xiao to other industries in the future.

Other merchants quickly thought that Liang Xiao's reduced profits seemed to be beneficial and harmless to him, and they were also relieved.

"Profit cut in half means that if there is some accident in the future, this kid is more likely to lose money, and he will not even have a chance to make a comeback!"

Liang Xiao had heard well, and of course he heard their pointing and pointing, and ignored them.

He believed in the authority of the empress, and since he had promised him a first-class imperial businessman, it was naturally no problem.

Sure enough, as soon as Liang Xiao returned home, he received the holy decree.

"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: Liang Xiao, the son of the Marquis of Lanling, inherited his father's will, served the country loyally, wrote poems in the town of Beijing, and did business to help the people, I am very relieved! I am also grateful for his father's heroic martyrdom, and now I specially named Liang Xiao as a 'first-class imperial businessman', and temporarily granted him all business privileges. Chin this! ”

The person in charge of reading is none other than the celebrant and supervisor Lin Duan.

After Liang Xiao received the order, he specially entertained Lin Duan once.

Lin Duan looked at Liang Xiao excitedly, and said earnestly: "Our family has long admired Liang Gongzi for his thin gold body and full of economy, and I hope that Liang Gongzi will not forget the cultivation of my emperor, and take business as the starting point, he will be able to help the world and save the people one day!" ”

Liang Xiao solemnly agreed and received the official seal.

The Dingguo Marquis Mansion received the news as soon as possible, and Mrs. Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "Fortunately, the puppet mother apologized to him in advance, it seems that this son is indeed promising." When your dad comes back, he'll look at him differently. ”

Mu Qinxue was happy in her heart.

With the promise of the empress and Duan Yunsleeve, she can also rest assured that she will abduct Liang Xiao with Duan Yunsleeve!

"What do you say? A product of the royal business? He joined the court so quickly? ”

When Gongsun Wuji received the news, he jumped up on the spot, looking horrified.

"Unexpectedly, a new official position was set up for Liang Xiao, a first-class imperial businessman......" Zhuo Mingfeng on the side looked like a torch.

"Mingfeng, the matter has come to this, is it still necessary for my third sister to come?" Gongsun Wuji asked anxiously.

Zhuo Mingfeng sighed: "It's impossible to recruit Liang Xiao, now, this is your private matter, and it's inconvenient for me to interfere." ”

Gongsun Wuji understood, and said with a depressed face: "At least bring the little sister back, right?" Since he has taken refuge in the empress, my third sister will definitely not look down on him. ”

Zhuo Mingfeng smiled but did not speak.

No one knew what Zhuo Mingfeng was thinking at the moment.

Nangong Lei had a gloomy face, returned to the Zhenyuan Marquis' Mansion, and conveyed the news to Nangong Ning.

"A product of the imperial merchant?? This faint monarch actually let a loser become an imperial businessman? The world is destined to change hands! Nangong Ning was furious and smashed the vase on the table on the spot.

The more beautiful Liang Xiao is, the more she hates it!

Only when Liang Xiao is down, ugly, or even ruined, can she prove to the world that her choice is right, and that Liang Xiao has no eyes!

"We must unite the major families to suppress this business!" Nangong Lei gritted his teeth, suddenly remembered something, and changed his words, "This son actually has the right to meddle in the sale of salt and iron, if you cooperate with him regardless of your previous suspicions, it will not be a way to make money?" ”

"Daddy?" Nangong Ning was anxious.

Nangong Lei comforted: "Don't worry, we're just using him!" When the time comes, wouldn't it be nice to lure him into bribery and send him to prison? ”

Nangong Ning suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Then you have to ask my father-in-law for help?" ”

Xing Feng, who was resting in Honglu Temple, also received the news and was taken aback.

"Doing business? It's really condescending. Xing Feng sighed.

"If he is in our Dachu, what can he do?" Xing Hai, who was guarding the side, said curiously.

Xing Feng replied: "My emperor is eloquent, if he gets this person, he must be the second best candidate for the horse in Dachu, it's a pity!" Now I'm afraid that he is already the Great Zhou concubine in the heart of the Empress of the Great Zhou...... is even a candidate for the emperor of the Great Zhou. I'm even more curious, he used to go bankrupt in business, and now he only relies on sugar, can he really afford the heavy responsibility of a first-class imperial businessman? ”
