The happy life of a prodigal

These people cannot be allowed to travel to and from Kyoto Prefecture. Although they have played a great role in the prosperity of Kyoto Prefecture, they may cause trouble after all.

Everyone is pensive.

For a while, I couldn't think of a good solution.

Speaking of which, the mansions in this Kyoto prefecture are actually not too few, but the prices are really expensive.

It is said that buying an ordinary mansion in Yazi now costs several thousand taels of silver, or even tens of thousands of taels.

Compared with two years ago, it can be said to have doubled.

There is a big reason for this, and it is because Kyoto Prefecture has been really prosperous recently. Whether it is Zhuxuanzhai, Chunfenglou, Jingshi Grand Theater, or others, these are all unique to Kyoto Prefecture.

By the way, there are also exchanges.

It was this exchange that attracted many wealthy merchants, further raising the prices of mansions in Kyoto Prefecture.

In addition, there is another reason, that is, many of the mansions in Kyoto Prefecture are in the hands of one person.

And the price of the mansion also became so high from the hands of this person.

When everyone thought of this, they subconsciously raised their eyes and looked at someone present.

At this moment, this person was holding a teacup and blowing gently, as if what they said had nothing to do with him.

In the end, it was Yan Zhuangge who spoke first: "Mr. An, what do you think?"

Fang Xiu was startled for a moment, looked up at Elder Yan Ge with a pensive look on his face, nodded after a while, and praised: "Yes, this tea is really good..."

"..." Everyone present was helpless, they knew that this extremely smart Duke An was about to start his usual trick - pretending to be confused.

If it is said that he is pretending to be confused, all the people in the world may not be able to compare with this An Guogong.

Who would have thought that he would pretend to be insane from the very beginning, and pretend to be insane for more than ten years?

Hey......

Everyone sighed silently in their hearts, and they all felt that there was no way to solve this matter.

the reason is simple.

After all, these people are trouble because they have no place to live.

Why is there no place to live?

In the final analysis, it was because the price of the mansion was too high.

Why is the price of the mansion so high?

In the final analysis, it was all because of one person—An Guogong Fangxiu!

Now that An Guogong is going to stop pretending to be deaf and dumb in the face of this matter, what can they do?

These mansions were purchased reasonably and reasonably, with deeds and land deeds. They are still the Duke of the state. What can you do with them?

As for expecting An Guogong to give up these mansions.

That's a no-brainer.

One must know that these mansions add up to an astronomical sum, probably more than the income of the Ministry of Households in a year!

Without any reason, let you give up this money?

How can this be?

Not to mention An Guogong who has always been mercenary, even if the same thing is placed on them, they are not willing.

The princes of Dagon are all sensible people.

They know that if they don't have some things, they can talk about them.

But if you have it yourself, then it is not something to talk about.

If the people from the Inspectorate were here, they would definitely say: As the Duke of the state, he should solve the court's worries and problems.

It is for this reason that they are not here now.

A censor of Zuodu was tortured by King Ning's people for several days and nights, and now he is recuperating in the mansion.

A censor of the right capital, because of the Fengtian Temple, is still in the mansion, and has returned to his hometown several times.

Although it was not approved, but next time, I am afraid that it will be approved.

Hey... In that case, what should I do?

Yan Zhuang looked at Fang Xiu, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "This tea is not really good tea, it's the rock tea from Mount Wuyi. I just want to pick it. It's a bit more difficult, so it's relatively rare."

"To be honest with you, Your Highness, the old man is actually a tea lover. Apart from tea, there is nothing else available in the house. If An Guogong likes this tea, I will send someone to give it to An Guogong after returning home. Go up some."

There is something in the words.

Everyone was indifferent and didn't reply.

At this time, Zhao Hao hesitated, and said: "Dong Yan, I used to rarely ask people in the court, and I didn't know that Duke Yan was still a tea lover. I still have the tribute from Wuyi Mountain last year in my palace, which is rock tea. , was rewarded by the father.

Ben Gong doesn't like tea, so I'll give this tea to Duke Yan. "

When Yan Zhuang heard this, his expression froze.

He originally said this to An Guogong, and he also wanted An Guogong to return.

But His Highness interrupted himself... Obviously, His Highness is no longer a child, and there must be a deep meaning in saying these words.

It's nothing more than not letting yourself overwhelm others.

But in fact, although he is the chief assistant of the cabinet and the head of all officials, how dare he use his power to suppress An Guogong?

What kind of person is An Guogong?

"The old minister thanked Your Highness." Yan Zhuang didn't say any more, just got up and saluted, and then sat down.

Fang Xiu looked at this scene, but showed a smile on his face, took a sip of tea, and said: "Since His Highness gave you his tea, give me your tea...not some, but all.

In addition to the tea from Wuyi Mountain, there are other teas, I want them all! "

After the words fell, everyone raised their eyes and subconsciously looked at Fang Xiu, with strange expressions on their faces.

Elder Yan Ge was also a little astonished, and then he showed joy, and said: "Okay, that is what An Guogong wants, and I will send someone to send it."

Fang Xiu nodded, looked around again, and said: "I know that you are a group of people who came here early, but what does it mean to call me? This is a grand banquet."

After the words fell, everyone hurriedly said: "The Duke's words are serious, and I have just arrived not long ago."

"Don't say that, it's actually not a big deal. I've said so much from just now, and it's nothing more than one meaning. I want the mansion in my hands, right?" Fang Xiu looked around and asked.

If other people say so, Gong Gun Zhugong must change his tricks to say a lot of reasons to refute this 'baseless' guess, and turn his back on the customer, forcing Fang Xiu to be annoyed.

But facing An Guogong, they did not dare to do so.

Because they know what kind of person An Guogong is.

Now that the matter is opened, it is said that the matter is opened. Anyway, there are no officials here, and there is no need to worry about being chewed on.

If so, let's confess.

Zhang Maoshi, the servant of the household department, said: "The lower official didn't mean that, but other than that, there is indeed no solution.

Moreover, the appearance of these people is because of the exchange, the prosperous one is also the exchange, and there is also the south of the city, and the shops in the south of the city are all the business of the Duke, so..."

"So I should pay the money?" Fang Xiu raised his brows and asked back.

The first thousand and 170 chapters and three new cities

"I don't mean to be an official..." Zhang Maoshi opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

It's just that before he could speak, he heard Fang Xiu take the lead and said: "That's not what it means, what else could it mean?

Putting this matter aside for the time being, I would like to ask you, where did the military pay for the Shenji Battalion go for two years?Why didn't the soldiers of Shenji Battalion receive even a little bit? "

"..." Zhang Maoshi was startled when he heard this, and then fell silent.

He didn't say anything, but his heart almost collapsed.

How could you forget about this!

Finished!

This time, I am afraid that if I can't get the mansion, I will have to pay money.

Seeing that Zhang Maoshi did not speak, Fang Xiu put his eyes on Mr. Liu Ge again, and said: "Mr. Liu Ge, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. This Shenjiying has made great contributions to the imperial court. If nothing else As for the grassland tribes, if there is no Shenjiying, can they have the stability they have today?

How much money does the imperial court send to the four northern states every day, and how much money is saved now?Even because of the surrender of some tribes, how much money was created for the court?

Even a tenth of this money is enough to cover the expenses of the Shenji Camp.

But it's been more than a year, nearly two years, why haven't you seen the money from the Shenji Camp? "

"..."

When Mr. Liu Ge heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say.

The entire imperial court, from top to bottom, no matter whether it's the elders or the little principals, who doesn't know that the Shenji Camp belongs to you, Duke An!

Even His Majesty knows it well.

That being the case, you still ask the court for money?

It is already very good that the imperial court does not trouble you!

Although the current imperial court has no way to trouble the Shenjiying.

But this matter, no matter how you say it, is the court's fault.

For a moment, Mr. Liu Ge really didn't know what to say.

"Okay, okay, it's nothing more than some military pay. Now that the world is stable, the Shenji Battalion has indeed made great contributions, but it's not just that the military pay of the Shenji Battalion has not arrived, the military salaries of the major towns have also not arrived. "

At this time, Ma Wenhua, Minister of the Ministry of War, suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, Mr. Liu Ge glanced at Ma Wenhua, his expression became a little strange.

When is this, why did you jump out out of nowhere and make trouble?

He thought for a while, and said: "The matter of the military salary is indeed a problem."

After speaking, it's gone.

It's just a problem, what kind of problem, how to solve it, and whether the money will be returned or not.

He didn't say a word, obviously he was doing the same thing as Fang Xiu, pretending to be confused.

Fang Xiu glanced at him, and said calmly: "I tell you, the most essential thing you have said today is to solve the problem of where these people live.

That being the case, I have an idea. "

After the voice fell, everyone looked up at Fang Xiu.

Although they sometimes don't like people who are opportunistic like Fang Xiu, they also have to admit that Fang Xiu is indeed extremely smart, at least compared to them.

The idea that you can't think of may be a flash of inspiration in someone else's place.

In fact, they have already begun to look forward to what kind of method Fang Xiu will give to solve this problem.

Then, they heard Fang Xiu say: "You can rebuild a city not far from Kyoto Prefecture, then build an asphalt road between the two cities, and then use a horse-drawn carriage."

"..."

Everyone was startled when they heard this, and then their expressions became a little strange.

Obviously, they didn't think it was a good idea.

Rebuild a city?

How much silver would that cost?

That being the case, it is better not to have money at the beginning and let them all go back to their respective state capitals, or else just use money to buy all the mansions in your hands!

These words are almost the same as if they were not said.

However, since An Guogong said it out, it still needs to be discussed.

"Most of the strong men now have their own jobs, even if they pull rickshaws, or build roads, these are paid and paid, and the pay is not low..."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry said: "If you initiate corvée rashly, you will inevitably have a lot of trouble."

As for corvée, the state capitals can also handle it, and it is not too difficult to gather some people.
