Reluctantly sending her mother away, Xing Xiuyan returned to the Laizhou government office again, and then began to think about another question:

That is, she is 15 years old this year, and she can talk about marriage.

That's right, the founding emperor of this dynasty once stipulated that the minimum age for marriage was 15 for men and 13 for women.It was only later that everyone discovered that a daughter who married too early could easily injure her body or even kill two people. Over time, discussing marriage at the age of 15 has become the norm for rich and noble families, and officials and eunuchs also want to avoid risks in order to reflect the dignity of a woman. There are many people who start seeing each other at the age of 15, get engaged at the age of 16, and get married at the age of 17. Of course, there are also people who wait until the age of 17 to get engaged and get married.

If there is no special reason, few people will keep their daughters until the age of 19.

This year is the year of Xing Xiuyan's birthday, and the Kong family will definitely not be the first family to propose marriage.

Xing Xiuyan?

Xing Xiuyan was a little irritable.

She now somewhat understands why so many people apply to become Lin Daiyu, because there is no need to think about this issue!Talk about a beautiful and pure love and then simply pass away in the best years, without thinking about these things.

However, being irritable is irritable, things still have to be done.

After receiving the emperor's secret order, Xing Xiuyan immediately sent someone to send a message to Chen Li, predicting that when she returned to Zhuangzi, the newly opened salt field had already been put into use, and the first batch of salt could be seen.

Before leaving Laizhou Fucheng, Xing Xiuyan naturally had to meet Gao Baobao, the transshipment envoy who had come all the way to Laizhou.

Gao Baobao was a young eunuch in his thirties, with a white and fat face, if he had to find an adjective, it would be like an autumn moon, of medium build, with a smile on his face, very gentle, the clothes and accessories on his body were all It is extremely delicate, and the incense is also very elegant, just like the children of a real family.It's just that there are some very feminine little movements with his hands, but they are very natural, as if he was born to be like this.

In fact, Gao Baobao had already met civil servants and generals in Shandong, including Xing Xiuyan's father Xing Zhong, when he was in Jinan.If it weren't for the consideration of Shandong's current situation, Gao Baobao would not have tactfully but firmly rejected Xing Zhong's company.

However, since he was appointed as the transshipment envoy of Laizhou Shipping Department, and he wanted to get salt from the village under Xing Xiuyan, it was natural that he would see Xing Xiuyan again.

Gao Baobao didn't deny it either. He refused Xing Zhong's company because he calculated that Xing Xiuyan was a 15-year-old girl who didn't understand anything and was easy to pass.

Gao Baobao thinks so.

Especially when he saw Xing Xiuyan, who was dressed in low-key and elegant, came in, he was even more satisfied.

He likes to deal with such a rich lady.

"It is said that Mr. Xing Jun was born well, and seeing him today is really extraordinary. In the future, the miscellaneous family will not be able to rely on the Jun Jun!"

"Ah~! What does Master Gao say? What will happen in the future? Even today, the little girl is relying on Master Gao!"

Gao Baobao's face immediately showed a slight look of color.

He said: "The Junjun's words are serious. The Junjun is now the daughter of the boudoir, and in the future when he is hired into the palace, he will be the empress. It is the miscellaneous family who rely on the empress!"

Xing Xiuyan said: "Look at what Mr. Gao said, I don't know anything about who enters the palace and who doesn't. My lord and I are now in Laizhou Mansion, and we are doing things for Long Live. We should do our best. The little girl is here Now, let me congratulate my lord first. Coincidentally, there is also a precious word in my lord's name taboo. No, maybe my lord can go one step further in the future and become the Gao Lishi of this dynasty!"

Gao Baobao laughed when he heard this.

Although Gao Lishi's ending was not very good, but he has always been Tang Minghuang's most trusted confidant, even praised in history books.And for eunuchs like them, what they are most afraid of is not losing power, nor being infamous through the ages, but losing the trust of the emperor.

Without the emperor's trust, they are nothing!

Gao Baobao may not be happy when Xing Xiuyan compares him to the eunuch of the Three Treasures, but he is happy if he is compared to Gao Lishi.

He deliberately said: "Gao Lishi is a virtuous official through the ages, but it's a pity that he encountered the Anshi Rebellion."

"Your Majesty is wise and martial, and strives hard to govern. As long as the civil servants do not let the civil servants influence the military, the generals do not allow the generals to support themselves, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe, and it may be possible to reproduce the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. I, a little girl, just caught up with the good times with my back against the big tree. "

Gao Baobao's eyes immediately changed.

He couldn't help but look at Xing Xiuyan again.

He thought there was something wrong with his ears.

In this sentence, Xing Xiuyan's ambition has been revealed.But it was because he heard it that Gao Baobao couldn't believe it.

A girl's family was made a county lord early on, and when she enters the palace in the future, the minimum is Baolin. As long as she survives for three years, she will be Jieyu, and she will have a child, nine concubines.If the family was more supportive, she would be indispensable among the six concubines.

It can be said that what is placed in front of this Miss Xing is a smooth road!

But what had he just heard?

Gao Baobao sighed: "Who doesn't want Huaxia to reappear in the Tang Dynasty? It's a pity, it's so difficult~!"

"It is not necessarily difficult to say that it is difficult, and it is not necessarily easy to say that it is easy. The Tang Dynasty is strong, and the strength lies in the Tang cavalry. It is a pity that the government military system is based on the land equalization order. Once the land equalization order collapses, the government military system will naturally decay. Think about it. To reappear the Tang cavalry in this dynasty, first of all, the court must have sufficient sources of money. Increasing taxes will definitely not work. But the sea can also give us money. After all, since the Northern Song Dynasty, the profits of maritime trade, It's a tenfold jump, isn't it?"

Gao Baobao's brain began to work rapidly.

What does this mean?

He came to Shibosi to get money for the emperor, which was his task.But listening to what Miss Xing meant, it seemed that it was more than that?

Gao Baobao said: "Naturally, miscellaneous families know about the grand occasion of the Northern Song Dynasty. I heard that at that time, smuggling was prohibited, from the civil and military officials of the imperial court to ordinary people~!"

"Lord Gao, in the eyes of the younger generation, this illegal smuggling is the same as illegal salt smuggling. It is nothing more than greed and wanting to evade taxes. If your lord sets up taxes, it will bring a steady stream of money to the court and fill the national treasury to the brim. , who else can say that the adults are wrong?"

Gao Baobao hesitated for a moment, and said: "But I heard that during the Northern Song Dynasty, a large amount of copper coins flowed out, so that domestic prices continued to rise, and the people's livelihood was very difficult~!"

Xing Xiuyan said: "If the people's livelihood is really affected by the reduction of copper coins, then more coins should be minted. I heard that the malachite in Luzon is all in the open air, letting the wind, rain and sun shine!" However, the little girl has the courage to ask your lord, is it really only because of the outflow of copper coins that the people's livelihood is so difficult?"

There is of course only one answer to this question.

Seeing Gao Baobao groaning silently, Xing Xiuyan said: "My little girl once heard people say that as early as the Northern Song Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom had minted Song coins and obtained money from the Central Plains. My lord, why can't we find a way to extract a lot of real money from the Wa Kingdom? Gold and silver, but let the Japanese, Jiaozhi, and even Western countries earn countless gold and silver from China?"

"This……"

Gao Baobao stopped talking.

He faintly felt that he had touched something, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't make any sense.

Seeing this, Xing Xiuyan added more energy, and said, "Take the peninsula in front of us as an example. Dare I ask you, if we buy the local grains of the peninsula at a price higher than the market price of the peninsula, and at a relatively low price?" sell our grains produced in the Central Plains at a higher price. What do you think will happen?"

Gao Baobao said angrily: "Of course I keep losing money!"

Xing Xiuyan said: "Wrong. From the perspective of people from the peninsula, the grain in the peninsula is expensive, while the grain in our Central Plains is cheap. With the same money, they can buy a lot of grain in the Central Plains. Then why don't they buy it across the sea? What about buying grain from the Central Plains and buying grain from the Peninsula? Farmers in the Peninsula have to face the fact that although the grain they grow can satisfy their hunger, they cannot be sold. As time goes by, there will be fewer people who naturally grow grain. Do you know what that means?"

Gao Baobao finally understood: "At that time, all the grain on the peninsula will be from the Central Plains! Even how much grain is in the treasury of the peninsula lord will depend on our face! What they dare to do behind the scenes, we only need to give an order , so that there is not a grain of grain in the peninsula market, and the peninsula people, the peninsula people will even starve to death!"

As an eunuch from Zichen Palace, he certainly knew what this meant.

Xing Xiuyan said: "Although we use this method, we seem to have lost a lot of money in the sale of grain. But we also used the grain to recover a large amount of copper coins on the peninsula, and then brought these copper coins to Japan. It can earn back a lot of real gold and silver. The deficit account will naturally be settled. And the same method can also be used in the Wa Kingdom. After all, the Wa Kingdom and the peninsula are both small in size, and there is not much arable land!"

"Good good good good good good! Great plan! Really good plan!" Gao Baobao laughed, "So, according to the girls, what should we do now?"

"Naturally, we want to purchase grain from the peninsula, the Wa Kingdom, and Ryukyu. Firstly, it will alleviate the shortage of grain in Shandong. Secondly, it will help the farmers in these places to increase their income."

Thirdly, it is natural to raise the food prices in these three countries and regions to prepare for the next step.

"I understand. But in this way, the salt in the hands of the Junjun is very important."

Salt and boats are the only capital in their hands.

"My lord, please don't worry. When I received the secret order, the little girl had already asked Zhuangzi to open a few acres of salt fields. This first batch of salt bags is almost all obtained, as long as the delivery is completed with the lord. It's just that Langya County There are a lot of troublemakers, and it takes a combination of kindness and force to stop their mouths."

But he asked Gao Baobao for a dividend.

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Gao Baobao smiled happily.

He is not afraid that Xing Xiuyan will not speak, but he is afraid that Xing Xiuyan does not want money.

Nothing in this world that can be solved with money is not a problem.
