Xing Xiuyan and Gao Baobao had a very happy conversation, and both parties were very satisfied with this meeting.But if they want to achieve what they want, they still lack a necessary condition.

When Xing Xiuyan returned to her small courtyard of the inn, she heard that Fang Liu, Fang Zhiping, and her brother Fang Zhiyuan were visiting. Her first reaction was joy:

Snooze meets pillow, what a coincidence.She needs such a talent here!

Xing Xiuyan hurriedly let her in, and the nuns here directed the maids to hang up the curtains.

Gao Baobao is an eunuch, so there is no need to be taboo about these things.But Fang Zhiping and Fang Zhiyuan brothers are outsiders, so they have to be particular about it.

After Fang Zhiping, Fang Zhiping and Zhiyuan brothers entered the room, they knelt down by the door, saluted, and said: "Nephew Fang Zhiping (Fang Zhiyuan) pays his respects to Second Aunt."

In terms of seniority, the Cheng family is Fang Zhiping's cousin and grandmother, and as the adopted daughter of Lin Ruhai and Cheng's family, Xing Xiuyan is also the second aunt of the Lin family.

But in terms of status, Xing Xiuyan is a county lord of the sixth rank, they are the people, and when the people see the officials, they have to kneel and worship.Otherwise, there would be no saying that a scholar would not kneel before an official.

Through the curtain, Xing Xiuyan smiled and said: "Please get up quickly! Sit down. Oh, this is really rare. Brother Ping has a lot of things to do now, but he is rushing here, but why?"

Fang Zhiyuan said: "Auntie is laughing. Logically, my nephew should have served in front of Auntie. I didn't want Mr. Xing to have too many things, so it was delayed. I came today to plead guilty to Auntie."

Then he got up and saluted again.

Xing Xiuyan said: "You're right, I'm going to be annoyed! The Master Xing you're talking about is my father."

Even though he said this, there was still a smile on his face, but Xing Xiuyan felt that if this Fang Zhiyuan was not born like this, not very active and not very good at talking, then he was belittling her on purpose.

Fang Zhiping hurriedly got up to plead guilty, and said, "Second aunt, my brother is the worst at talking, so please don't get angry with him. My nephew will apologize to my aunt for him."

"Hey~ Don't talk about it now. If your brother is really nothing, you wouldn't bring him to see me. So, tell me, what is he capable of."

If this guy is really stupid, Xing Xiuyan believes that Fang Zhiping will never bring Fang Zhiyuan to her.

Fang Zhiping hesitated.

Fang Zhiyuan said: "Second aunt, the land of Japan and the peninsula is small, and you can get married once a year. If Long live is willing, not only can you earn a lot of gold and silver from it, but you can also hold the two countries firmly in your hands. Even, even It can also eliminate the harm of Japanese pirates."

Xing Xiuyan had a meal in his hand at that time.

She narrowed her eyes, looked at Fang Zhiyuan for a long time, and said, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"know."

"Then tell me, how do you hold these two countries firmly in your hands?"

Fang Zhiyuan immediately talked eloquently, which was exactly the same as what Xing Xiuyan said in front of Gao Baobao just now.

Xing Xiuyan nodded and said, "It's exactly the same as what Eunuch Gao and I just said."

Fang Zhi, Fang Zhiyuan and both brothers were taken aback.

Xing Xiuyan said: "It's not just that. Eunuch Gao and I just said that rice is harvested twice a year in some areas of Liuqiu. There are open-pit malachite mines in Luzon, with huge reserves. Waguo has gold and silver mines, and Waguo is the same as Peninsula and Jiaozhi. They all rely on the copper coins from the Central Plains. This was not only the case in the Song Dynasty, but also in the previous dynasties, and in this dynasty as well. Even the Japanese kingdom secretly minted the copper coins from the Central Plains to extract the wealth from the Central Plains.”

If you have no other content, then it is impossible for me to recommend you to Transshipment.

The words were not spoken, but Xing Xiuyan's meaning was clear.

Fang Zhiping responded the fastest: "I would like to listen to my aunt's teachings."

"Right now, Laizhou needs both people and boats. It needs to get food from the Wa Kingdom, the Peninsula and even the Liuqiu Islands. A large amount of food can help relieve the famine. This is the first mission of Mr. Gao who came from afar. First solve the famine, and then Only then can I spare the energy to think about other things. Do you understand?"

She can brag about the big picture in front of Gao Baobao, but if it is the Fang brothers, if they are recommended to Gao Baobao, they will do practical things, bragging is not enough.Especially, when she has already blown a wave with Gao Baobao.

"Yes, aunt, our Fang family will do our best. Before June this year, my nephew will definitely be able to dispatch six ships from Hanyang."

Hanyang?Can ships in the Yangtze River go to sea?Next is the stormy weather in the East China Sea!What is the use of a boat in a river? !

Xing Xiuyan asked, "Do you have any contacts with the Zhen family in Jinling?"

The brothers of the Fang family were all taken aback: "Auntie wants to find the Zhen family?"

"I'm looking for... Long live to clean up the Zhen family."

Fang Zhiyuan said in shock: "Auntie, are you serious?"

"Why not take it seriously. The Zhen family is known as the Emperor of Earth in the south of the Yangtze River. Isn't that enough? If you don't want to be implicated, it's better to retreat as soon as possible."

Fang Zhiping still couldn't believe it: "Excuse me, aunt, did Eunuch Gao reveal it to you?"

Xing Xiuyan glanced at him, did not answer, but said: "You guys should go back and make preparations earlier."

Where does Xing Xiuyan not know the rules of the game in the world of Red Mansions?Just like when Jia Yuanchun was made a concubine, the Jia family received countless filial piety under the name of empress. The Zhen family was known as the Emperor of Earth in the south of the Yangtze River. Would they confiscate the filial piety?Not to mention the Fang family, even the Eight Great Giants of Shanxi and Shanxi will pay tribute to the Zhen family when they reach the border of the south of the Yangtze River.

Xing Xiuyan doesn't care how filial the Fang family is to the Zhen family in Jiangnan, she just hopes that the Fang family will gather their resources and complete her mission first.

Bring back the food, relieve the people, and prevent the refugees from attacking the capital.

That's the first priority.

Seeing that the Fang family brothers were out of their minds, Xing Xiuyan didn't stop them, but waved directly to let them go back first.She also wanted to pack her bags and go back to Zhuangzi.In her opinion, it will take next month for Fang's family to react, and here, they have to prepare migratory locusts.

After the cleanup by the Min Zhifu and others, the family of officials who had been in Langya County for hundreds of years has been uprooted, and the general environment of Langya County can be said to be cleared up.But Xing Xiuyan knew that as an outsider, her foundation in this place was not very stable.Now is the year of famine, seeing locusts approaching, if she doesn't do anything, then when the famine is in chaos, there will be people who hate the rich colluding with refugees to attack Zhuangzi, then her strategy this time can be directly declared a failure up.

The first thing Xing Xiuyan did when he returned to Zhuangzi was to clean up the books, and the second thing was to count the inventory.

Then, she asked the hired workers to set up a big stage, and sent a message to the new magistrate of Langya County, and asked Zhuangzi to stop working for a day, and called all the stewards, guards, farmers, and hired workers, Wuyang Wu There is a sun-drying field full of stands in the center.

She said: "The folks are invited to come today mainly for two things, one is the secret edict about long live."

Secret order?

The people below immediately whispered.

Xing Xiuyan handed the edict to Zhang Xiaoda, county magistrate Zhang, who was also dumbfounded.He first called Long Live three times, and after saluting, he opened the official document of the imperial edict written on the white mulberry hemp paper, and when he saw it, he immediately exclaimed: "It turned out to be true!"

Zhang Xiaoda never thought before that the emperor would issue an edict to a woman.

Xing Xiuyan said: "Then ask Mr. Zhang to read it for you."

When Zhang Xiaoda wanted to read out the edict, Xing Xiuyan had to kneel to receive the edict, and the people below, as Xing Xiuyan's subordinates, also knelt down one after another.

The decree is very straightforward and the meaning is very clear. Let Xing Xiu smoke and dry salt, and hand it over to the transshipment envoy Gao Baobao for cross-sea trade in exchange for money and food.

After Zhang Xiaoda finished reading, Xing Xiuyan stood up, holding the edict on the white mulberry paper, turned around and said to the people below:

"Everyone, many people must know about the salt fields on Zhuangzi. I am a foreigner, and I came to Langya County with my father to work in Shandong. I may not stay in Shandong for a long time. This Langya County is still everyone's Langya County. This Zhuangzi belongs to my family. Zhuangzi is also the Zhuangzi of the big guy. Long live gave us such an edict. If I mishandle it and something happens, I'm afraid it's not just me, even the big guy. After all, Guochao It is forbidden to the sea."

Everyone knows how much salt comes in. It can be said that when Zhang Xiaoda read out the edict, there were not one or two people who were attracted by it.

How can smelly and salty shark meat compare to salt?

But when Xing Xiuyan said this, everyone's hearts were chilled.

That's right, Yanba comes with money, but that's the emperor's business, competing with the emperor for the business?Isn't this killing people?

Xing Xiuyan saw all of this.

She said: "Currently, the money and food coming in and out of Zhuangzi are divided into two parts. One part is the food brought in by the fleet from outside, including sweet potatoes, rice noodles, and the other part is the salted fish produced on our Zhuangzi. In the future, our Zhuangzi will produce more. , that is salt. But the problem is that the food shipped from outside is for the whole territory of Shandong, and it is arranged by my father as a whole. Only the salted fish meat, according to my father's instructions, excluding the expenses, [-]% of the salted fish meat produced by Zhuangzi every month must be shipped to the inland, and only [-]% will be distributed by Zhuangzi. Therefore, I decided to share this [-]%. Give it to everyone."

As soon as Xing Xiuyan finished speaking, there was a bang below, and it exploded.

Zhang Xiaoda said in surprise: "Mr. Xingjun, please think twice~!"

Xing Xiuyan said: "My lord, please don't worry, I know what you are worried about. Please don't worry, I can still make decisions on this matter." Then he said to the people below: "In addition, I also contacted several businessmen when I went to Laizhou this time. Presumably they will come to Langya County in the near future. In the future, Zhuangzi will pay the bill every month, and the meat will be divided once a month. The more sharks killed, the more meat will be divided. Now, let the chief manager report the account to you, and take a look. Let's see how much fish you can share."

Xing Xiuyan returned to her position, and Chen Li replaced him with the account book to pay the bill.

The people below were all dumbfounded.

According to the number plate, go to the corresponding warehouse to pick up the fish?In addition to the amount of wages and food stipulated in the contract every month in the future, they can get an extra one at the end of the month?

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Zhang Xiaoda was very puzzled.

What the hell is this princess going to do?

Sitting high on the grand teacher's chair on the stage, Zhang Xiaoda held the magistrate's demeanor without saying a word, and he also knew that it was not suitable to argue with Xing Xiuyan at that time.But when he got off the stage, he couldn't hold back:

"Your Majesty, you... I'm afraid this move is inappropriate~!"

Xing Xiuyan glanced at him and said, "My lord, there is another plague of locusts in the west this year, and it's the third year. You... don't you have any ideas?"

What I am most afraid of now is not migratory locusts or drought, but man-made disasters!

People who are driven into a hurry will eat people!

If you are not careful, it will be hell on earth.

Zhang Xiaoda immediately understood: "Junjun means..."

In a famine year, the starving people can do anything.If Xing Xiuyan didn't do this, and the hungry people from outside were moaned behind their backs, and then attacked Zhuangzi, if there were only a dozen or dozens of people, it would be fine, but what if there were hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people? ?

It is a group of hungry people who are so hungry that only skin and bones are left. Just by the number, they can squeeze Xing Xiuyan and the people on Zhuangzi into the sea.

What else is there in the sea around Qingshan Island?

The sea is all red.

If you really fall, you can only feed the sharks!

When the atmosphere was so gloomy, a young man came in and told: "Qi Jun Jun, someone from Zhuangzi came outside, saying that their family names are Wu and Wei, please see the Jun Jun."

Wu?

Wei?

"Shanshan giants, the Wu family and the Wei family?"

Hearing that these two people came, Xing Xiuyan immediately asked Zhang Xiaoda: "Master Zhang, may I ask if you need to avoid it?"

Many officials and gentry look down on commoners, let alone businessmen.Xing Xiuyan was not sure what kind of person Zhang Xiaoda was, so he asked this question.

Zhang Xiaoda said: "Your Majesty is being polite. I just heard that the Majesty has contacted several businessmen in Laizhou Prefecture, but the Wu and Wei families? If it is related to Langya County, I wonder if the Majesty can attend?"

"I'm still worried that adults will be taboo." Then he ordered the servant, "Please."
