Since Di Xin ascended the throne, the most obvious change in the court situation is that there are many more "new" faces at the daily court meeting.

A new face is not a new one that is new when we meet for the first time, but a young and fresh one.

A large number of old ministers either actively or passively returned to their hometowns in the "Snow Night Case" that year, and a group of people were killed for participating in the rebellion.

In addition, Di Xin was already very young, so the court situation as a whole took on a new look.

The eldest of these people, Yin Rui, is only forty years old, and there are hussar generals Yao Gao, musician Shi Yan and other romantic figures.

Among these young people, there are three extremely famous representatives, the first is Gu Ji, the head of the three thousand eunuchs in the palace who specializes in serving His Majesty, who has excellent talent, and now has the cultivation of the Void Realm, and can get the guidance of His Majesty in the Immortal Realm, often listens to the holy sound, and the future of cultivation is limitless.

The second is the son of Lord Xingzheng Feilian, who served as a military commander under Wen Taishi, and reached the strength of the Mahayana realm before the age of thirty, making him the most shining star of the great merchants under Di Xin.

Finally, there is the close minister of the Son of Heaven, the Tibetan official Yongtan.

Yongtan was born in a big family, the Yongjia was the founding of the country to follow the emperor Tang after the famous minister Yongyi, is the only scholarly family in the song city, generation after generation in the dynasty as an official, very much relied on by the Shang kings of the past dynasties.

The family background is already prominent, and it is extremely rare that this young man was born with a jade tree and is talented in literature, almost unparalleled in the world. At the age of fourteen, he made a "Changmen Fu" in a banquet where famous ministers gathered, the rhetoric was gorgeous and magnificent, the structure was grand and far-reaching, and the Taishi drank the wine after hearing the Zhong, and bluntly said that the great merchant literati were as young as the Yongjia children.

One sentence lifted Yongtan to the highest peak of the great merchant literati.

After the banquet was dispersed, the Changmen Fang, which was praised in "Changmen Fu", has become a must-go place for countless women who admire the Yongjia Youlin.

With such a jade, Zishou, who prides himself on being good at recognizing talents, will naturally not let him rise and fall in the court, but directly arranges him by his side and becomes an incomparably noble Tibetan official.

The so-called guarding the collection refers to guarding the side of the King of Shang and collecting His Majesty's usual words and deeds into the history books, which is a very noble official position.

Those who are appointed as Tibetan officials can be the prime minister in the future, and then they can be the prime minister.

The people of the DPRK and China have already regarded Yongtan as the successor of Yabikan.

This is indeed what Zi Shou thinks, after all, Uncle Wang has been working in government affairs for many years, and he is very tired from consuming his mind every day when he can't practice, and as a nephew, he also wants to cultivate a person who has the ability to let him unload his burden as soon as possible.

Yongtan is a good choice.

This young man's literary talent and beautiful appearance are too dazzling, but they often obscure the rest of his bright spots.

For example, almost no one in the court knows whether Yongtan can practice or not.

Most people think that he is unable to practice, perhaps because of some hidden thoughts, people think that there is no such perfect person in this world: the family background is excellent, the appearance is outstanding, the talent is high, if we can still practice, then how can we live?

He was born as if he was a god, so he must have some shortcomings to be true, for so many years, there has been no news that he will practice, it should be that this Yongjia Youlin is dissatisfied with his talent, so he is ashamed to say this fact.

So when many people mention Yongtan, they will always praise his talent and literature first, and then sigh with a little regret, it's a pity.

Of course, these gossips can't be hidden from Yongtan, but he always smiles faintly after hearing them, and he doesn't know if this is the case, or if he is too lazy to argue.

The Son of Heaven patrolled the Quartet, and as a Tibetan official, he should travel with him.

However, it is very strange that Di Xin has gone to sea to crusade against Dongyi, but no one has seen Yongtan's figure on the "Yu Huang" giant ship.

Even Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu didn't know where he had gone.

——————

Le'an County in Qingzhou was originally just a small county town that was not famous, the land was dry and desolate, even if it was a year of blessing from heaven, it could not grow any crops, and once it encountered a famine, countless people were displaced. Fortunately, Le'an County near the sea is quite rich in seafood, and most of the people fish for a living, so it did not turn Le'an County into a deserted city.

But this awkward situation was broken six years ago.

Six years ago, the dynasty sent Kanyu warlocks to discover two mineral deposits and their rich salt mines in Le'an County, and after personally bringing people to evaluate the salt industry on the coast of the East China Sea, Chenghou, the elder brother of Emperor Yi, he concluded that the salt mines here were enough for a hundred years of commerce.

Such a major event shook the court situation, and Di Yi arranged for sergeants to be stationed as soon as he learned the news to prevent the Dongyi people from harassing him, and sent a "brine minister" who specializes in salt control to supervise the construction of the salt brine site.

As a result, Le'an County prospered.

In just six years, Le'an County, which was originally desolate, has become one of the most famous cities in Qingzhou, and many businessmen have come and gone, which has greatly promoted the local development.

The reason why the merchant is called "business" shows its emphasis on business and promotion, many people come to Le'an County because of its development potential, open a tavern Qinglou, and some people just come and sell daily goods such as grain, cotton, tea, etc.

Others are smugglers.

Salt is a necessity of daily life, especially when it is difficult for ordinary people to buy refined salt even if they have money, so that the profits obtained by smuggling salt brine have increased exponentially.

Although the state is very strict and the punishment for illegal salt dealers is very severe, it also reflects the horror of the profits obtained from smuggling salt brine.

In their eyes, the desolate saline-alkali land in Le'an County is covered with layers of gold and silver quilts.

As long as you lift this layer of quilt, you can get endless wealth.

As long as the light veil on the beauty is lifted, what is in front of you is a feast.

Therefore, after repeated prohibitions, there are still people who take risks and want to make a profit by smuggling salt brine.

Originally, Le'an County relied on the sea to eat the sea, and the people who had difficulty eating rice and pasta always felt miserable, never thinking that the more people came and went here, the seafood that could rarely be eaten in the inland became a delicacy.

On the second floor of a tavern called "Wanghailou", there are more than a dozen men who look like merchants.

"Stir-fried razor clams, shrimp seeds, steamed mussels, fresh oysters, stewed sea cucumber...... Another ten catties of 'green shellfish roast'!"

The guy happily put on a towel and shouted loudly.

Even in the increasingly prosperous Le'an County, it is rare to see such a bold guest, so we have to entertain these masters well.

In a short time, a plate of delicious seafood was served, and five sake that could not be covered by mud was served.

"Let's get started. A middle-aged man of medium stature, with an ordinary face, but with huge earlobes, said.

"I'm starving to death, eat, eat, eat!" A reckless man got permission from the middle-aged man led by him, regardless of the disgusting eyes of his companions, picked up the big man who stewed sea cucumber and drank it.

A short, lean man began to pour wine into the cups of the three tables, and finally a thin young man poured it.

The young man was dressed in linen and green clothes, dressed as an ordinary businessman, and his face could only barely be regarded as delicate, and when he reached out to hold the wine glass, his pale skin and elegant movements showed that he was not just a merchant.

The short man named Hou San'er deliberately sprinkled some wine when he poured wine for the young man, but the young man didn't hear it, picked up his chopsticks to eat the vegetables, and when he tasted the seafood he hadn't eaten before, he would savor it, and then take a sip of wine, which was very comfortable.

Hou San'er returned to the first table after pouring the wine, and while the young man was not paying attention, he whispered in the ear of the middle-aged man led by him.

"Big brother, it's just a matter of worrying about this business, why did you send such a chick to get in the way. ”

The middle-aged man shook his head slightly, with an unfathomable look:

"It is said that it is a neighbor in the house, and the adults arranged to familiarize themselves with the business, so that they can help the second son take over in the future. Eat the vegetables, don't get cold for a while. ”

Hou San'er sat down angrily, looked at the young man who didn't look like a merchant at all, and snorted softly.

"Big brother, there are more than ten of us, this is only ten pounds and nine, you are also a little stingy, brothers have worked hard for a long time, why do you have to drink more wine!"

Without waiting for the middle-aged man to speak, Hou San'er slapped him on the back of the head:

"You've fucking eaten and don't do business anymore?

The reckless man who was busy peeling shrimp didn't care, and blindly sent food to his mouth, and after a while, the plate and wine jar in front of him were empty.

He touched his belly, still unfinished, and called out:

"Big brother, my Wu Laosi is half full, and I can only give fifty percent of my strength, if you come to another table of dishes and five catties of wine, then we will keep ten percent of the hard work!"

The middle-aged man didn't think it was wrong, as if he was very upright by Wu Laosi's honesty, knocked on the table with a smile, and the guy who had been waiting on the side came over with a smile.

"According to what this person said, another table of dishes, five catties of wine. ”

"Hello, please!"

Looking at the figure of the guy trotting to the back kitchen, Wu Laosi grinned and said:

"Hou San'er, learn a little from the eldest brother, what is the atmosphere, be cautious like you, how can we do business?"

Hou San'er, who was thin and short and really looked like a monkey, snorted coldly, ignored this fool, drank all the wine in the cup as soon as he raised his neck, and was about to throw away the empty jar casually, but before he could make a move, he was snatched away by the reckless man with a lightning shot, and he didn't know where Wu Laosi was such a fat man with such vigorous skills.

"There's still some wine, don't waste it. ”

Wu Laosi picked up the wine jar and sniffed it intoxicatedly, then carefully drank all the wine in the jar, and began to wait for the guy to remove the plate and serve the vegetables again.

Hou San'er squatted on the chair indignantly and didn't make a sound, the middle-aged man with huge earlobes looked at Wu Laosi with a smile, only the young man's eyes flickered, through the steaming and fragrant seafood, and inadvertently glanced at Wu Laosi who had just shown his hand.

Almost instantly, the young man looked away and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a sea cucumber and savored it.
