Chapter 747 The Right Price

Yang Zhumu looked at his nephew's sluggish appearance and laughed loudly, "Why are you as surprised as I was when I heard the news, this is not like the son of the household minister's family."

From the mouth, it feels very good. The Yang family also has a family in-laws in the capital, and he is also a servant of the household. The son can say that the brother-in-law is very good, and maybe he will be promoted to the second rank one day.

Changyi digested the news, and his mouth became bigger and bigger. This was a really big happy event, "Uncle, let's stop talking at the city gate."

"Yes, yes, your aunt is still waiting at home. Since I received the letter from you today, she urged me to wait at the gate of the city in the morning. I've drank two pots of tea."

Changyi smiled, "Uncle, ride the carriage with me!"

Yang Zhumu, "Okay."

In the capital, Zhou Shuren and Shangshu arrived at the Zhengdian. The emperor was seeing the Minister of War. After waiting for a while, the Minister of War came out of the room, and instead of going out directly, he ran towards Master Xiao.

Xiao Qing smiled, "Master Li, what a coincidence!"

The Secretary of the Ministry of War, Mr. Li, was puzzled. In recent days, he would block Xiao Qing whenever he had a chance. Every time Xiao Qing would give up and run away, even if he was blocked, Xiao Qing had a bitter face, and he looked like I really had no money. If you want money, you are killing me, but this one even greeted me with a smile!

Master Li frowned, "Do you have money?"

Xiao Qing twitched the corners of his mouth. Except for the engineering department at the bottom, he raised money when he saw him. There was no politeness at all. It was really straightforward, "No."

"Then why are you laughing? Don't think that you are smiling at me, I won't mention silver, Xiao Qing, the army is going back to Beijing, you can't chill the hearts of the soldiers."

Xiao Qing's face darkened, "Mr. Li, this is serious. You all want money every day. You really think I'm guarding the Golden Mountain! You hurry up, the old man will be annoying to see you now."

Xiao Qing is suffering from a heart attack. The Minister of Personnel has hidden needles and soft knives in the words of the Minister of Personnel. Master Li of the Ministry of War does not look at the tall and big, and he has a lot of heart. The Minister of Rites is polite when meeting him. After all, those who want money are not in line with the Ministry of Households!

Master Li snorted, just when he was willing to block this old fox, he also saw that the number of casualties was worried, the households were poor, the military was even poorer, and the military had no money at all!

Eunuch Liu came out, "Your Majesty invites Lord Xiao and Lord Zhou to come in."

Mr. Li's eyes fell on Zhou Shuren. This man did not keep a low profile in Beijing, and his eyes lit up a little, especially when he saw the book in Old Xiao's hand, he laughed, "Old Xiao, we have been friends for many years, If you have money, you must be the first to think of me!"

Xiao Qing didn't hear it, and stepped into the inner room.

Zhou Shuren followed, without moving, looking at his arm, "Sir?"

Relying on his height and strength, Master Li pulled Zhou Shuren to the corner and whispered, "Do you have any money?"

Eunuch Liu coughed, and Master Li let go of his hand and patted Zhou Shuren on the shoulder, "Haha, this old man has always wanted to meet Master Zhou. I'm excited to see him today. Master Zhou must have tea together when he has time."

Zhou Shuren has only one feeling of pain, his fragile body, this time his shoulders really hurt, "Definitely."

Eunuch Liu felt heartbroken when he saw the big palm of Master Li, and looked at Master Zhou with sympathy.

Zhou Shuren saw that Master Li had finally left, and exhaled and moved his shoulders, um, it still hurts, it should be blue.

Eunuch Liu moved his mouth, but in the end he didn't say a word. The Minister of War was not to be provoked, so he thought he didn't see it, um, didn't see it.

Inside, the emperor was reading the book, and Master Xiao was chatting with the prince.

The prince smiled, "Master Zhou, sit here."

Zhou Shuren, "Thank you, His Royal Highness."

Xiao Qing couldn't see anything on Zhou Shuren's face, and he couldn't ask Lord Li in the main hall to make things difficult for Zhou Shuren. Having said that, Zhou Shuren's smile seems to have never changed!

The emperor quickly finished reading the book, and his expectations were right. Zhou Shuren really thought about it, "It's a good way."

Xiao Qing smiled, "Jewelry is easy to handle, just package it up for merchants."

The emperor looked at Zhou Shuren, "What do you say?"

Zhou Shuren all looked at him and coughed, "The jewelry stored in the Ministry of Household is not worth much money, and it is indeed suitable to be packaged and sold to maritime merchants. Ke Chen feels that the news of the tax increase can be released first, and then the jewelry that is processed by the Ministry of Household is released. News, if anyone's price is reasonable, they can be exempted from the tax increase for half a year."

Half a year's tax increase is not small, big sea traders can save a lot of money in half a year, half a year is enough for two short trips, and a long trip, the tax has always been a lot of money.

The emperor looked at Zhou Shuren playfully, "Aiqing continues."

Zhou Shuren continued: "Several sea merchants will definitely compete. They know in their hearts what price is the most suitable, and because of this, the big sea merchants have participated, and tax increases are logical."

This suitable price is supported by several sea traders. There is no shortage of money, and they can take the opportunity to please the emperor. Someone must be willing to give more money. This does not need to be explained to the emperor, the emperor must know.

The emperor, "Aiqing really suits the household, Xiao Qing, I have given you a good helper."

Xiao Qing smiled, "I thank the emperor."

Thinking in my heart, Zhou Shuren's heart is full of twists and turns, and he serves multiple purposes, not bad, not bad.

The crown prince ignored Zhou Shuren. He felt that when he ascended the throne, if he wanted to not suffer as hard as his father, he must have a minister of the household who was especially good at making money.

Zhou Shuren is silent, Prince, please stop staring at the minister, the minister's back is a little cold, and he has to wonder if he has tricked himself?

Thinking about it carefully, it is no problem to do more than one thing!

In Lizhou City, Changyi arrived at Yang's house, and Changyi entered the courtyard, "Uncle, the family hasn't changed much!"

How many people came last time, how many are still the same this time.

Yang Zhumu, "Your uncle is a low-level general, we can't compare to your Zhou family, look at your pomp, you're still traveling light, and there are only seven or eight servants can't compare. ."

When my father was there, I saved some money, but after my father passed away, the family was divided, and half of the family was distributed to the second brother. This year's income was not as high as before, and the expenses for a year, grandchildren also need silver when they grow up. Just asking the gentleman is a lot of money for a year, plus the expenses of a large family, you can save some money in a year.

The money can't be moved yet, the granddaughter's dowry, the grandson's betrothal gift, everywhere needs money, yes, and human relations, the Yang family can maintain the status quo.

Changyi laughed dryly. The Yang family is indeed inferior to the Zhou family. They have a great father, yes, and a mother who has been adding to the family.

Yang Wuchun walked in with a smile, "Cousin Changyi is here."

Changyi, "Big cousin, aren't you in trouble?"

"Cousin is here, I'll rush back after the matter is settled. Is my cousin going all the way smoothly?"

I overestimated my handicap. I didn’t write much in Chapter 2. I have to wait for an hour, or maybe early.
