Travel through space and help the prince’s husband in construction

Both Yan Sheng and Xiao Yunji advocated taking the initiative to attack, so that the enemy would be very busy and unable to defend themselves, so they would have no time to cause trouble.

They reported this matter to the emperor, who gave them special rights. As long as they didn't kill the second child, they could do whatever they wanted. Since he has done so many bad things, don't show any mercy to him.

It is not yet certain whether the eldest prince is involved in this matter. If he is involved, the eldest prince will not be exempted from accountability.

Yan Sheng doesn't have many interactions with people in the market. He could only count on Xiao Yunji. He was very envious of Xiao Yunji, who was good at reading and had a smooth career as an official. He is very knowledgeable about these things in the market. He himself is a calm and wise gentleman.

Yan Sheng often laments that everyone in the Xiao family is really talented. He is usually quiet and unremarkable, but anyone who pulls him out will be the best among people.

Originally, Yan Sheng and Xiao Yunji were just acquaintances, without any in-depth understanding. Now that we are working on this case together, Yan Sheng admires Xiao Yunji so much that he is in admiration. They seem to have become a pair of irreconcilable friends who met each other late.

The emperor was very happy to see this effect. He is now training Li Mohan to be his capable subordinate in the future.

Yan Sheng and Xiao Yunji will not do anything to the second prince. They will only attack the business of the second prince and the rebel organization.

They found that the rebel organization had set up a large number of silk reeling factories in areas with developed water networks in the central region. Local silkworm farmers cooperate with them.

But because this group of people used monopoly and coercion methods. As a result, a large number of silkworm farmers worked hard to raise silkworms, which were barely enough for food and clothing. This also greatly dampened the enthusiasm of local silkworm farmers.

Every year, due to lowering the purchase price of silkworm cocoons and squeezing the interests of silkworm farmers, there are many disputes and many cases of killing and injury. Local governments are also unable to resolve the conflicts caused by this economic dispute.

This question was raised by Xiao Yunji, who had seen details of cases in this area while working as a minister in Shangshu Province. It stands to reason that after receiving the approval from the minister of Dali Temple, such reports submitted many times should be sent directly to the emperor's official desk or presented in the court.

However, he did not hear such a report in the court, but saw the case in a pile of notes presented to Shangshu Ling.

At that time, he felt that something strange must be happening. His memory is very good. After browsing through this excerpt, I remembered it in my heart. Then go back to your desk and record the cause and effect of the incident again.

This story about the silk reeling factory deducting profits from silkworm farmers and triggering various cases had been reported to him several times, so he took it to heart. But he didn't know whose property it was, and he didn't take the initiative to bring this matter to the emperor.

Because his behavior has gone out of line. He had no right to read the booklet given to Shangshu Ling. He can only view it after the written order is distributed to him.

During the investigation this time with Yan Sheng, we discovered that the bosses behind the scenes in that area were actually members of the family of the second prince, his mother, and his concubine.

On the surface, she is the mother-in-law of the second prince of the Qingliu family, but behind the scenes she also supports her relatives to participate in the silk reeling and brocade weaving industry.

If it was a normal operation, there would be nothing wrong with it. However, several local incidents involving injuries and deaths were caused by conflicts between sericulture farmers and silk reeling factories.

What is incomprehensible is that every time it is the vulnerable silkworm farmers who lose their lives and have their families destroyed. But those reeling factories have no responsibility. These cases were written up and sent to the court as excerpts, but there had never been such excerpts before the emperor's official records.

Xiao Yunji works as an errand in Shangshu Province and usually doesn't talk much. For example, he had discovered this case many times in the archives, but each time it was never sent to the emperor's official desk, and no one mentioned it in court.

It shows that there is a spy in Shangshu Province. As a fourth-rank minister, he had the right to directly report the situation to the emperor in writing. But he didn't write any notes. After all, the issue of the prince is involved here.

He didn't want to take sides prematurely. In Shangshu Province, many people wooed him. But he and his father had already agreed that they couldn't take sides.

Now that his sister was married to the fourth prince, he didn't want to take sides, and he was also on the fourth prince's side. Therefore, when he was investigating the case between the second prince and the rebel organization, he uncovered this very crucial case.

This is a very critical entry point. But the Yan family did not do much in reeling. Of course, the largest and most professional silk reeling factory in the entire mainland is the Yun family. That is Xiao Yunyan's maternal family.

This matter needs to be discussed in the long term. If Xiao Yunyan's maternal family intervenes in this matter, another large silk reeling factory will be opened in the local area. Win over those silkworm farmers under your banner and sign long-term cooperation contracts with them.

Naturally, the second prince and his silk reeling factories, which exploited the interests of silkworm farmers, had no cocoons to use, so they had no choice but to withdraw from the market.

Even if they want to fight against the Yun family, they don't have the strength. What's more, there is still the imperial court behind to protect the Yun family.

Xiao Yunji and Yan Sheng reported their ideas directly to the emperor. The emperor summoned Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan, as well as the head of the Yun family, Xiao Yunyan's uncle Yun Luochuan, to gather in the emperor's study room to discuss matters.

The emperor heard that his second son had done so many things. Moreover, someone from Shangshu Province and Dali Temple actually protected him. The status of Shangshu Sheng should be above the third rank. It is very likely that it is a second-grade Shangshu Ling.

If that's the case, I really need to clean up the court. The high-ranking officials of the second and third grades have actually joined forces now.

The minister of Dali Temple gave such information to Shangshu Ling first, instead of reporting it directly to himself. The Shangshu Province is the most important authority in the country and is responsible for the formulation and issuance of national decrees. If Shangshu Ling cannot be absolutely loyal to the emperor and has ulterior motives, then the interests of the people of the world are at stake.

Dali Temple is the judicial organ of the country. The minister of Dali Temple must also be loyal to the emperor.

Nowadays, it is possible that Shangshu Ling and Dali Temple Minister are colluding. If power and justice collude, the harm to the world will be even greater. If the emperor closes his eyes and listens, there is no justice in the world.

Although the emperor did not hold Xiao Yunji accountable. Xiao Yunji took the initiative to tell how he discovered the secret and the reason for keeping silent.

The reason why he chose to read Shangshu Ling's excerpts frequently was because he found that several cases that he was obviously very concerned about were not reported to the emperor. Therefore, when no one is around, he will read the papers on the minister's table.

The emperor did not blame him. And asked him to continue to check the case records on Shangshu Ling's desk in the future.

The current task is for him and Yan Sheng to complete this job together and find out the business network of the organization behind the scenes. Targeted crackdowns on businesses that violate the law, harm civilians, and compete for profits.

With the emperor's oral instructions. Xiao Yunji had no worries in his heart.

Yun Luochuan, the head of the Yun family, listened quietly to the conversation between the emperor, Xiao Yunji and Yan Sheng. I also had a preliminary understanding of this matter in my mind. It turned out that the emperor asked the Yun family to come forward to crack down on the business of the second prince and even the rebel organization.

He knew about that area. It was originally there. In areas where the sex industry is most developed, there are many small local factories. They didn't want to compete with the people for profit, so they didn't open a silk burning factory there. Just get the best silk from there. Ship it to your own brocade factory. Although the price is higher. But it also saves a lot of steps.

The Yun family's industry is so big that he doesn't need to keep every piece of profit in his own hands. An industry can only last long if both upstream and downstream companies make money at the same time. At least the basic interests of silkworm farmers must be guaranteed. Without the help of silkworm farmers to raise silkworm cocoons, the entire silk weaving industry would be in vain.

Since both the emperor and the Yan family hoped that he could open a silk reeling factory in that area, sign a long-term cooperation agreement with local silkworm farmers, and ensure the interests of local silkworm farmers at fair prices.

For the Yun family, it is just a small source factory added. One more profit growth point. If it was beneficial to the country, the silkworm farmers in that area, and his niece, then of course he would be happy to do it.

However, Yun Luochuan was a steady person, and he would not take the initiative to say what was on his mind until the emperor told him about it. And expressed his thoughts again. Yun Luochuan nodded with a smile.

He said: "Since the Emperor intends to support the Yun family, of course the Yun family is willing to open a silk reeling field in that area.

As for the competition between merchants, the Yun family is not a rookie at the mercy of others. Then the emperor doesn't have to worry about it.

If one day Yun really cannot compete with the organization behind it. Come again and ask for the emperor’s protection. "

The emperor laughed. He just likes Yun Luochuan. Such a generous person. The financial strength of the Yun family. More powerful than the entire Beichuan Kingdom. The entire business involves the Central Continent. But the Yun family has never been ostentatious. Just doing other people's business safely. He also has great respect for the emperor. Every year, many precious silk fabrics are sent to the emperor. There are also some rare items and local delicacies procured from other far away countries.

Although he and Yun Luochuan didn't meet many times, every time they met, they were like old friends and had a great time chatting with each other.

The emperor knew that although he was the emperor of a country, economically, the Yun family was a larger empire. Therefore, he never used his status as emperor to suppress the Yun family. This is the key to two people becoming gentlemen.

Now, this cooperation can be regarded as the emperor asking the Yun family for help, but the Yun family is the beneficiary. Such cooperation is beneficial to both parties. So there is no contradiction. The more we talked, the more relaxed we became.

Instead, Xiao Yunyan raised a question: "What my father meant was to suppress the business of the second prince and the organization behind him to death, or to give them a chance to breathe.

If only the area where they violate the law is targeted. Other industries are still retained, so the Yun family must consider them when formulating local business policies.

My second brother and brother Yan have to think twice when formulating attack strategies in various fields. If people have normal business. Should we keep them and let them operate normally? "

The emperor had indeed emphasized in his previous narrative that he would crack down on businesses in that organization and the second prince's industry that violated the law and competed with the people, but he did not mention normal business.

What Xiao Yunyan considered was, if we left them with a normal and profitable business, would it leave them with the strength to compete with the imperial court?

After all, the second prince is involved here, and the eldest prince may even be among them. The emperor always leaves a little room for his son.

She had to ask in person. Otherwise, it will cause trouble in the future. What if one day the emperor turns around and blames his uncle, second brother and eldest brother Yan for not leaving any room for action? Suppressing the business of his two sons to death.

By that time, these few people who were immersed in doing things were left with complaints that they couldn't explain clearly.

Everyone present, including Li Mohan, also looked up at the emperor to see what he was thinking.
