Chapter 114: Moved

Liang Xiao thought for a while and said: "Today and tomorrow are inconvenient, as for the day after tomorrow, I want to start selling Canghai Yueming in Huanhua Building, and the Gongsun family should have received the news." ”

Gu Pingxiu didn't say a word, and immediately went to inform the people of the Gongsun family.

"The third lady of the Gongsun family? I heard that she is the first beauty in Bashu, hummed ......" Duan Yunsleeve felt jealousy inexplicably in his heart, and he had a slight sense of crisis.

Liang Xiao suddenly asked: "Just now in the imperial study, I saw that your eyes were a little worried, are those ministers of the family coming to obstruct the salt monopoly again?" ”

Duan Yunsleeve nodded and said, "Brother Xiao don't worry, my imperial sister must be reprimanding these people now, after all, this is a major event related to the fortunes of the country~"

Liang Xiao was relieved.

He heard Duan Yunsleeve say that when there are many disasters in various places, coupled with the fact that officials in various places, especially those from families, can still do a good job of soaking oil from it, so there will often be a gap of hundreds of thousands of taels or even millions of taels in the treasury.

It is impossible for the royal family to let the Dingguo Marquis Mansion pay money to fill this gap every year, and sometimes they can only ask these families to raise donations by means of concessions or compromises, which is quite faceless.

This is also the reason why those families are becoming more and more rampant.

A Great Zhou royal family that looks up to people and is worried is in their interests.

Now, stamp duty and salt administration revenue can effectively solve this problem.

Today, for example, the treasury has increased its revenue by 100,000 taels of silver.

This 100,000 taels of silver is a guarantee.

It is precisely because of this that Liang Xiao understands that Duan Yunsleeve specially spent thousands of taels to take care of his business, in fact, to make up for the Liang family.

Even if he didn't have those few ink treasures, the money would have been given to him.

He seems to have suffered a loss, but not completely......

In any case, Duan Yunyi, as the empress of the Great Zhou, can be regarded as raising her eyebrows once, no wonder she had such a happy and gentle side just now.

The more Duan Yunsleeve thought about it, the happier he became, and walked to Liang Xiao's side in small steps, touched his arm with his arm, and started a coquettish offensive.

"Brother Xiao is really indispensable, you say, how do you want our sisters to repay you~"

The delicate voice made Liang Xiao's bones almost crispy.

"You and Your Majesty, as long as you stop thinking about letting me enter the palace."

Liang Xiao's seemingly incomprehensible response made Duan Yunsleeve stunned, pouting his mouth "oh", and his heart was broken.

What a fool this guy is...... Where is she willing to give!

Mu Qinxue was still hiding in Liang Xiao's mansion to accompany Jiang Fuxue, and she was overjoyed when she heard that Duan Yunsleeve was also here.

The sisters sat on both sides of Jiang Fuxue, watched her write, and listened to her tell the story of Journey to the West.

Of course, they still want to read every issue of the newspaper.

But what they want to know most is how this little girl met Liang Xiao.

Her description was so outrageous that even Mu Qinxue, who was excellent in martial arts, couldn't believe that Liang Xiao could single-handedly kill hundreds of elite killers.

Even if the enemy can't beat Liang Xiao, there will always be someone out of a hundred or so who can escape?

It turns out that his fiancΓ© is still both civil and military......

Mu Qinxue suddenly had some anticipation, and her face was full of excitement.

The Chamber of Commerce of the Gongsun family was well-informed, and sent the news of official salt and Canghai Yueming to Gongsun Yue as soon as possible.

Gongsun Yue's charming face showed a little worry.

"Salt that can be sold for at least 50,000 taels of silver at a time......"

Gongsun Ling explained: "Because the quality of today's official salt is surprisingly good, and the price is ridiculously low, it only sells for fifty wen per catty!" ”

Gongsun Yue sighed: "But the problem is that the purchase is limited to ten catties per person, and the official still sells at least one million catties, this is the people of the capital dragging their families to rush to buy salt, right?" ”

Gongsun Ling nodded, his face full of horror.

The people of the capital were relatively wealthy than the people in other places, and they had more grain and silver deposits.

But selling out millions of catties of salt at one time still exceeded their estimates.

It can be seen that salt is important to the people!

Of course, the government also allows children to occupy a 10-pound purchase limit, and many adults even simply carry their babies over to buy an extra 10 catties.

Selling only 50 wen and good quality table salt is an irresistible temptation!

"If there is no purchase restriction, I'm afraid that these chambers of commerce in the capital will also desperately hoard salt, right? Who knows if the price of salt will continue to rise next time......"

Gongsun Yue's face was a little unsightly.

The salt administration in the Bashu area was firmly controlled by the Gongsun family, and the price of salt per catty started at 80 Wen.

If the Great Zhou court sold this kind of salt for a long time at 50 wen per catty, it would also have an impact on the finances of Bashu.

In order to avoid this kind of impact without turning against the Great Zhou court, the Gongsun family must negotiate with the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the form of concessions, purchase a large amount of salt from the Great Zhou government, and then transport it to Bashu to sell.

In any case, if the Great Zhou court could sell this salt for a long time, it would be very conducive to maintaining the rule.

"Third Miss, Mr. Zhuo mentioned before that the reform of the salt administration may also have something to do with Liang Xiao."

Gongsun Ling's reminder made Gongsun Yue's face even more ugly.

Her eyes fell on the new issue of the newspaper.

"I sing and wander, I dance and scatter ......"

After the release of this poem "Drinking Alone Under the Moon" with the newspaper, within half a day, the streets and alleys sang this poem!

She was now curious about what this man really looked like.

Gongsun Yue clenched her fists and asked, "Then Liang Xiao really refuses to see me?" ”

"He said he hadn't been free for the past two days......" Gongsun Ling replied with a cautious expression.

In Bashu, no one would ever refuse this third lady.

Some people don't dare, and some people can't bear it.

Who can bear to refuse such a beauty......

This Liang Xiao actually endured it?

"Good! I will go to Huanhualou to see what kind of goods he is in the sea and moonlight. Gongsun Yue smiled coldly and asked again, "By the way, what about my fourth cousin?" Isn't he in the capital? ”

"The Sword Sect said that he has a personal matter to deal with, and after he finishes it, he will definitely assist you in bringing back the fourth young lady." Gongsun Ling replied.

Gongsun Yuexiu frowned slightly, and didn't ask anymore.

At dusk, Grandma took advantage of the cooking time to find Jiang Fuxue and inform her privately.

"My third sister is really coming??" Jiang Fuxue was surprised and delighted.

Liang Xiao's Journey to the West, it seems that there are still dozens of chapters left for her to finish.

Grandma saw it in her eyes and said with relief: "Miss is very moved, right?" ”

"Uh-huh, touched and touched......"

"The third miss said that in order to protect the miss, she will pretend not to know the miss when the time comes, and the miss will be the first time she meets her......

"Okay, okay, tell her to come early! I can't wait. ”

Grandma agreed repeatedly, relieved.

Finally has relatives who make her miss......

After the meal, the three sisters pestered Liang Xiao to tell them the later chapters of "Journey to the West".

It wasn't until the evening that Duan Yunsleeve and Mu Qinxue were reluctant to leave the Liang Mansion.

In the dead of night, the Tuoba family mansion is in a secret room.

All the major families sent representatives of the younger generation.

Tuoba Jun of the Tuoba clan, Ram Jing of the Ram clan, Duguchen of the Dugu family, Duanmu Yuncheng of the Duanmu family......

Everyone looked solemn, their eyes gloomy, looking at the newspaper on the table, and a pile of information full of words.

Liang Xiao is about to enter the wine industry, and Da Zhou canceled the salt introduction, the two most profitable industries......

This is digging their life!
