Difficult for a son-in-law

When Mrs. Ruan received the gift from Princess Wei, the smile on her face couldn't be stopped.Thanks again and again to the concubine for the reward, and to each of the daughters-in-law who came to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion to deliver things, a first-class silver reward, both parties are happy.

Mrs. Ruan said to her daughter, "The big thing has been decided."

Ruan Chensi lowered his head, just smiled and said nothing, his face slowly blushed.

"It's still my son's success." Madam Ruan was extremely pleased. The eldest daughter is a noble concubine, the youngest daughter is a princess, her biological son is Tan Hua'er, and her husband is a first-class minister from Lord Hou. A woman who is Madam Ruan has already achieved quite a lot. feeling.

At the same time, craftsmen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to renovate Lanxiangyuan.

Concubine Wei is in a good mood these few days, she is more friendly to the two concubines, she doesn't need their sisters to set rules on weekdays, she just studies in the house, becomes a female celebrity, or goes to the garden to enjoy flowers and jokes, she is not restrained.

Ming Ya brought tea to Ming Fei herself, and said with a leisurely smile, "Third Sister, let's drink tea."

Ming Fei took the tea, thanked her softly, and asked, "What is Fourth Sister doing in the house all day? I don't see you coming out."

Ming Ya smiled, "It's nothing, the weather in the imperial capital is very different from that in Yunnan, I always look at the sun outside and go out lazily."

"Me too." Ming Fei smiled, "Yesterday I went to the garden to digest food, and I heard the ding ding dong ding from the Lanxiang courtyard. The outside is all surrounded by tents, so I don't know what's going on inside."

Ming Ya thought about it, it was not a secret, so she said to Ming Fei, "It is said that they are cleaning and decorating, and building a new house for the fourth brother to get married."

Ming Fei's eyes flashed, she lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and said in a warm voice, "I haven't heard that there is an imperial decree to bestow marriage."

"It's almost inseparable. It's the third girl of the Ruan family, sister Chensi. The third sister is best friends with her." Mingya tilted her head and smiled, "I heard that mother wants to return to Yunnan after the fourth brother gets married. .”

Ming Fei's heart was so cold, she held the teacup tightly with both hands, and forced a smile, "It's such a happy event."

Ming Fei went back to the room absent-mindedly, boiled sour plum soup with remote water, chilled it, put it in a small bowl, and presented it.

There was a blush in the thin porcelain bowl, Ming Fei didn't drink it when he caught it, but held it lightly in his palm, and asked softly, "The fourth brother is going to marry the third girl of the Ruan family."

Yao Shui smiled slightly, "Isn't it? I heard that the princess gave Miss Ruan San a lot of things. In the past, when Miss Ruan San came to our house, the princess always treated her differently. The girl and Miss Ruan San made good friends. In the future, Miss Ruan San will become the imperial concubine, and she will be able to play the piano and discuss Fu together every day."

Ming Fei didn't ask any more questions, but just picked up the red bayberry soup and drank it carefully.

Ruan Hongyan, she remembered that person.

The first time was when they first arrived in the imperial capital, and they met the boasting officials in Tianjie. Ruan Hongyan was dressed in a red robe, with crows and hairpins on her temples, and she was riding on a horse like a jade tree.She was in the car and hurriedly lifted the curtain for a glimpse.

The second time was when Ruan Hongyan came to the mansion to pay her respects. She and Ming Ya hid behind the screen and looked at them quietly.

The third time was before the competition field, Ruan Hongyan retreated calmly.

It was a husband contest prepared for Ming Qi, Ming Fei slightly frowned for that ambitious man-in-law, revealing a trace of deep disgust.Apart from having a better background than her, what else is Ming Qi better than her?

Isn't this an age of etiquette?Why did Mingqi let Mingqi choose the county horse himself?Aren't men superior to women?How come Mingqi is allowed to hold the military power?

The one-year confinement in Luomeiyuan planted a deep resentment in Ming Fei's heart. It wasn't that she didn't follow the rules, but that she wasn't strong enough, so she let her be mermaid!Just like today, who would have thought about her!

Because her elder brother failed to register as a son, as the younger sister of the defeated, she had no choice but to bow her head and prostrate herself on the ground, begging for a little mercy from the enemy.

A sarcastic smile escaped from the corner of Ming Fei's lips, pity?

Ming Zhan held a volume of geographical records in his hand, and leaned on the couch, but his eyes did not stay on the volume, and he didn't know where to look.

"My son, although the princess is your sister from the same country, but regardless of private affairs, if the prince opens a mansion for the princess, it will only be in Kunming. Why should it be built in Lincang?" The princess is not married, and the prince feels distressed My dear daughter, it is barely acceptable to open a mansion for the princess, but you still build the house in the garrison, what is your idea?

Now that the news of Feng Jingnan's selection of a site for Ming Qi to build a mansion has been revealed, Fan Wei has followed Ming Zhan for a long time, so he naturally wholeheartedly planned for Ming Zhan, and said bluntly, "The son should still be the prince of Chen Shu, you are just such a relative." Sister, it’s convenient to take care of her when she’s close, isn’t she?”

Feng Zhi said, "The princess has already trained in the army. It seems that the prince intends to let the princess take charge of the army. The son should have made plans earlier."

These two people are not stupid, what is Ming Qi's background, but it's not easy to separate siblings.It's just that since they were sent to assist Ming Zhan, and Ming Zhan was born in a noble family, wise and intelligent, and possessed the qualifications of a master, in the future when Ming Zhan succeeds to the throne, they will be the ministers.Now that someone steals Ming Zhan's interests, it is like their enemy, not to mention the matter of military power is no small matter, so the two are quite angry at Ming Qi's move.

"You have thought of it, and everyone around the father can think of it." Ming Zhan put his hands on the couch and sat up.Feng Jingnan's movements are really fast, it's almost a certainty.

Ming Zhan looked at the two of them and smiled, "Don't worry, I have my own rules and the sky won't fall."

Fan Wei frowned, "According to my subordinates, although the son now occupies a righteous position, he is not as real as the military power behind the princess. Besides, most of the sons are in the imperial capital, and they rarely get along with the prince." The relationship is not as deep as that between Ming Qi and Feng Jingnan. Speaking of which, it is here that Ming Zhan suffers.

Feng Zhi's skin is slightly darker, not as white and tender as Fan Wei's, and he speaks directly, "My son has never been involved in the military. Now that the princess has taken the lead, it will be even more difficult to intervene." Feng Zhi was born with a traditional nature. Hen Sichen is very disgusted.

"Father won't let me meddle in the military, at least not now." Ming Zhan said, "There is no separation between the military and the government. Since you can't get involved in the military, let's start with the political affairs."

The first thing the two of them thought of was the fathers of each family, the son...wouldn't it be to let them do the work.

Ming Zhan laughed, "I'm overthinking it? There is no room for turning around Ming Qi's going to the army. If I let it go, there will be one thing and another. After a long time, who will take me seriously?"

"Is there a way for the prince to stop the princess?" The two asked in unison.

Ming Zhan shook his head, "Father won't listen to me. Besides, as long as Father is in his hands, Yunnan will be in his hands for a day. There is no need to worry about the army. It's just that a great opportunity is in front of us now. It's a pity to waste it." .”

"You also know about Yunnan. Is there any cadres in the salt mines and salt wells in Yunnan?" Ming Zhan half-closed his eyes and looked at Fan Wei and Feng Zhi.

Fan Wei laughed dryly, "Don't dare to hide it from your son, there are no cadres, but there are some annual respects from several big salt merchants."

Feng Zhi followed suit and nodded, "Basically, they have paid filial piety to the number one companies in Yunnan."

Ming Zhan was taken aback, and asked, "Why don't you see them respecting me?" He looked at the two suspiciously, "Could it be that they think I'm not worthy enough?"

Both of them were in cold sweat, Fan Wei said in a low voice, "That's not true. It is said that your time in Yunnan was short, my son, but someone came to me. At that time, my son was just awarded the title, and my subordinates did not Mention this matter to the crown prince." At that time, the relationship between Ming Zhan and Feng Jingnan was tense, and they couldn't show their braids anymore.

"Your Majesty is going to use the salt class?" Fan Wei said slowly, not to pour cold water on Ming Zhan, "As far as my subordinates know, the prince has always been careful about the salt class, and the officials on the salt class are changed every three years, all of which belong to the prince. A confidant. Even if the son is settled in, it is easy to be ostracized."

"How can I have so many people?" Ming Zhan waved his hand, "Should I let you go or let Feng Zhi go? You don't have to go. I want to reshuffle the salt class."

Fan Wei couldn't help but inquire, "Your Majesty, I have an order, and my subordinates will not hesitate to die."

Ming Zhan glanced at the two of them with a smile, "You put the letter out first, the salt class, I want to make a move. The filial money collected by each family has to be suspended for a few years."

Feng Zhi was a little worried. He was a straightforward person, so he said, "Your Majesty, your tone is three points higher than that of the prince. Let the prince know, how can I be good to you?" Not to mention that the prince was angry when he heard it, the key is Haikou boasting Go on, if you can't do it, you will be ashamed.

"Although I was granted a title, I have neither soldiers nor power in my hands. I spend most of my time in the imperial capital," Ming Zhan sneered. It’s better to fart, not to mention that Mingqi in Yunnan is now in charge of the military, and Mingli takes care of the common things. The father is in his prime, and there are still 30 years of spring and autumn. What will it be like after 30 years? Then I will take you to pick up other people's leftovers."

"Although I am in the imperial capital, they must understand that Yunnan belongs to me."

Ming Zhan's words have been let out, Feng Jingnan thought, you are really arrogant, there are more than a dozen salt factories and salt wells in Yunnan, and the leaders there are all people that Feng Jingnan relies heavily on.

If Ming Zhan wanted to move them now, he had to weigh it carefully.

Ming Zhan didn't do anything, so many people asked Xin'er, isn't it, what action is the prince going to do?Does the prince know?What does the prince mean?

Little did he know that the prince was also waiting for his son to make a move, Feng Jingnan had already made up his mind, no matter what hype farts Ming Zhan made, he would scold him back.I'm still alive, so you're thinking about my family business?

Feng Jingnan only pretended not to know Ming Zhan's actions, and waited for ten and a half months, even his mother's birthday, Ming Zhan still looked like an old god.So much so that Fan Wenzhou and others thought that Ming Zhan had lost his mind and put aside the matter of the salt class, making a false alarm.

On the other hand, the four of Fan Feng and Qizhan became popular. Many people inquired about gossip with them, and they all agreed, "The wisdom of the world is as deep as the sea, and ordinary people like me can figure it out. But..."

But the gift is not small, and I can laugh out loud at night counting money.

Ming Zhan has already confessed, others will give it to you, don't be polite, this is just the beginning, don't embarrass me by surprise.

Even the newcomers Feng Zhi, Qi Jing, and Zhan Jun made a small fortune along with them.

The three of them surrounded Fan Wei to inquire, "What is the son's plan? There has been no movement for such a long time, is it..."

"Your Majesty has always followed his word." Fan Wei thought he knew something about Ming Zhan, and said decisively, "Besides, the salt class is no small matter. You have to find the right time to take action."

Zhan Jun asked with a smile, "Xiao Fan, what do you think the prince is planning? I don't think the prince will be able to respond? I heard that those salt dealers have heard the news and are going to come to the capital to give gifts to the prince."

"Things that don't open their eyes, don't they think that the prince has taken a fancy to their little money?" Fan Wei sneered.

Qi Jingdao, "Everyone is well aware of the salt class. Our family, because they have some face in front of the prince, they have filial piety every year. Not to mention the other sons, the annual number of the eldest son, everyone There are quite a few. The second son and the third son also take it. The only son was incomplete before, and he was young, so he rarely showed his face. , it is inevitable that you will feel guilty."

Salt merchants want to do business smoothly, so they naturally have to find different backers.Fan Wei can be singled out to accompany Ming Zhan, his father and grandparents are all the ministers around Feng Jingnan, as far as they are concerned, they have also been investigated by Feng Jingnan in various ways, and they are tacit about some things of.

However, Ming Zhan had already greeted them first, and these people naturally wrote letters to inform their families.By Ming Zhan's side, they all have great ambitions, so naturally they don't take these petty gains seriously.

It's just that after suffering from the salt class and those salt merchants, I was in a state of confusion and couldn't find out what to believe. I couldn't eat for two months, and I lost a lot of weight.

Ming Zhan still didn't move. When everyone thought it was a false alarm, a thunderbolt fell from the sky: the son returned to Yunnan to preside over the Yunnan salt class.

Almost everyone trembled on the spot: He, he was just kidding!

The words have to go forward.

Ming Zhan knew that Ming Fei coveted Ruan Tanhua'er, and thought that Ming Fei would use some tricks to entertain the crowd, but he just stood still.

Ming Zhan received the imperial decree of marriage with 12 points of energy, happily entered the palace to greet the emperor, and happened to meet Wei Ning.

Wei Ning smiled, "People are refreshed on happy occasions, and the son is refreshed. It seems that great joy is coming."

"We are happy together." Ming Zhan wore a crimson robe with lotus flowers embroidered with gold and silver thread, which was extremely festive.

Wei Ning wondered what kind of bird Ming Zhan would dress up for when he got married.

Feng Jing hid the emotion in his eyes, and joked directly with a smile, "Hey, this is the wedding dress."

"No. The wedding dress is bright red, and this one is crimson red. They are different." Ming Zhan explained with a smile that he has a title, and the wedding dress was arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.In fact, even the dowry was prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so it didn't cost the family money at all.

Ming Zhan smiled affectionately, "My nephew firstly wants to thank you, and secondly, he thinks that uncle Huang will give my nephew a big red envelope when he gets married."

"Is it a good day so soon?" It's really fast.

"Not yet." Ming Zhan said with a smile, "Now that I live outside, I can often greet the emperor's grandmother better than I can in the palace. Now that I am here today, there is absolutely no reason not to go."

Feng Jing was taken aback, who doesn't know about the matter between you and the Queen Mother?What kind of wolf with a big tail are you pretending to be?After thinking about it again, Fang smiled, yes, according to the rules, yesterday the decree granted the marriage, today Mrs. Ruan will definitely bring her daughter into the palace to thank her.

Even though Feng Jingqian was a little upset today, he still amused Ming Zhan's narrow-mindedness, and said with a smile, "If your legs are sharper, you can still catch up with me. Go."

Ming Zhan saluted with a dry smile, turned around and left.

Speaking of which, he hadn't met the girl from the Ruan family yet.

Ming Zhan didn't catch up, and the Ruan family had already thanked and left when they arrived at the Palace of Compassion.The point is that the Empress Dowager Wei didn't wear Ming Zhan, and Miss Ruan San, who was about to marry Ming Zhan, didn't like her very much.After saying a few words in a neutral manner, he sent people away.

Although it was just a play, Ming Zhan was still a little disappointed when he didn't see the beautiful woman.He greeted Ann mildly and left.

Feng Jingqian was delighted when he saw Ming Zhan's listless appearance, "Why, didn't you see?"

Ming Zhan muttered, "There are no toads with three legs, but women with two legs are everywhere. Why am I so blind?"

"You are so honest," Feng Jingqian knocked on Ming Zhan's forehead with a shudder, and said with a smile, "I heard that your mother hosted the Ruan family several times, so you didn't sneak a peek?" She doesn't care about women's sex.

Ming Zhan smiled and said honestly, "I asked my sisters and found out that women are all in the inner courtyard. I know there is a banquet, so it would seem abrupt to go there hastily."

Feng Jingqian nodded and said, "Now that it's marriage, it's not too much for you to find a way to meet again." I really can't see that you are still an upright person.

"I thought of going with Uncle Huang."

Feng Jinggan ignored Ming Zhan's words, and pointed to the other side of the kang table, Ming Zhan went to sit down, saw Feng Jinggan's handbook spread out, and cast a glance.

Feng Jing laughed dryly, "The Department of Salt Transportation cried poorly to my superior Zhezi, and there is a severe drought in the south of the Yangtze River. There has not been a drop of rain since the beginning of the year. Everyone thinks how comfortable it is to be an emperor. This seat is really like a person drinking water. He knows whether he is warm or not. "

Ming Zhan asked wittily, "Uncle, are you worried about Curry? Do you want me to talk to my father and see if he has any ideas?"

Feng Jing glanced at Ming Zhan with a dry smile, "If you give me ten million silver now, all worries will be gone."

Ming Zhan puffed his mouth, but he didn't make a big deal. He just said, "Even if you cut me up and sold me, my father and king can't afford so much money."

Feng Jing laughed dryly, and tried to persuade Ming Zhan, "Then you are talking to me here. By the way, I heard that you are going to start the Yunnan salt class, and I am still waiting to see your first fire. The letter is very early. Let it out, and now it's slumped. It's nothing to embarrass me."

Ming Zhan smiled, "I'm already making preparations, but it's just that I don't have the wind."

Feng Jing smiled brightly, "It seems that Dongfeng is here."

"Uncle is wise." Ming Zhan said seriously, "My father does not have tens of millions of silver, but I have an idea, it is worth tens of millions of silver, and donated it to Uncle for your emergency."

Feng Jingqian was a little interested when he heard Ming Zhan's tone of exaggerating, so he stopped writing and listened to Ming Zhan's detailed talk.

"This has to be said from the salt class," Ming Zhan thought for a while, "For example, Yunnan is a small place, and the salt class does not have a large scale. You can get the salt introduction with only five or six procedures. But there are still greedy ones, I heard It is said that the father will kill a few every year, and those who are afraid of death will not dare to stretch out their hands."

Feng Jing asked dryly, "Do you think the reason for the proliferation of private salt is that the salt class is greedy and despicable?"

"I'm a layman, don't laugh." Ming Zhan put one hand on the kang table, leaned forward slightly, and said seriously, "Actually, I think salt is a commodity in the final analysis. It is monopolized by the state and then sold. Salt production From the salt wells of the salt factory, the cost is only the salaries of the workers in the salt factory and the salaries of the officials in the salt class. The billions of people in the world all need to eat salt. For example, each person eats 3 catties of salt every year, and every catty Salt costs 30 copper coins, so each person eats salt for 90 copper coins. If there are 900 million people in the country, then the salt cost is 50 million. In fact, when official salt is cheap, it costs [-] copper coins, and when it is expensive, there are also sixty or seventy copper coins. Moreover, there are more than [-] million people in the country, so Uncle knows how many salt classes should be in the end. How much will be recovered in reality?"

"The money will not go missing. Some of the missing silver taels went into the pockets of salt merchants, some were exploited by the salt masters, and some were stolen by private salt dealers." Ming Zhan talked eloquently, "The first two items are the Let’s not talk about Chen Huo. Judging from the memorial, Lianghuai said that smuggling of salt is now a common practice. Then we need to find out why smuggling of salt is so prevalent. The law stipulates that smuggling of more than [-] catties of salt will be executed. Such a harsh law still cannot Forbidden salt, there is only one explanation, profit."

"Everything is inseparable from the word profit. The profit of private salt is enough to make people take risks, which shows the importance of the profit. If you buy it, you will sell it. If no one supports you, this private salt will not be sold. The people are the simplest. , As long as they can live on, they will not take risks to buy such sneaky private goods. It can be seen that the price of official salt has become unbearable for the common people." Ming Zhan said calmly, "That's why private salt is so popular."

Feng Jing sighed dryly, "How come I don't know about these things? It's just that the salt merchants also have difficulties, so we have to leave something for them to eat."

Ming Zhan said, "At the beginning, the country collected salt and iron for personal gain, to increase the country's fiscal revenue, not to feed the salt merchants. Now the cart before the horse, fattening the salt merchants, makes the country difficult. Could it be that the salt class has become Their salt lesson?"

"I heard that in Lianghuai, those salt merchants are all very rich. They built bridges and paved roads in their hometowns, funded colleges, built temples, and did good deeds." Ming Zhan said methodically, "Where did the money come from? The benefit of the country is to enrich themselves, and the wealth of the country is stolen to steal their reputation. They are not like people who have nothing to eat."

"What do you mean?"

Ming Zhan said, "As long as the price of official salt is lowered, so that there is no profit for private salt, the common people can afford salt and eat salt, and if the ban on salt is strictly enforced, private salt will naturally stop."

Feng Jingqian shook his head and said, "There are many reasons for the soaring salt price, and it's not for no reason that they have risen to this level. They directly ordered them to reduce the price. The salt merchants can't stand the loss-making business."

"If you can't bear it, don't invite them to eat this bowl of rice." Ming Zhan said, "If you want me to say, there is no need for more than a dozen departments in the Yanyun Yamen, just one department is used to sell Yanyin. As for Yanyin, change all of them. For small amounts of salt, from two hundred catties, three hundred catties, four hundred catties, five hundred catties, up to a large amount of no more than a thousand catties, and a small amount of no more than two hundred catties, the price is set by the imperial court, and anyone can buy it. Anyone can sell salt. I think the imperial court’s salt will be sold faster, with a few salt factories, the salt tax is settled every quarter, and the income will not be less than it is now.”

It was the first time Feng Jinggan had heard such a novel statement, and he couldn't help asking, "Will the price of salt be lowered in this way?"

"The price of Yanyin is set by the imperial court. Because there are too many people selling salt, the price of salt must be within a moderate range in order to sell. It is best for the market to adjust the price itself. If it fails, the imperial court can also intervene." .”

"What if there is a big businessman who cuts down on salt?"

"Such a person with ulterior motives, just kill him." Ming Zhan said in a relaxed tone, serve me a plate of tamarind cake.

But Feng Jingqian knew that this was not a joke, if Ming Zhan were to do this matter, this would be the result.

Feng Jingqian was quite moved, and asked, "How did you come up with it? Did you tell your father?"

"No, it's just an idea. The salt government is related to the country. It's best to find a salt factory to test it first." Ming Zhan said, "The country is rich and the people are strong. I wanted to talk to my father more carefully. Tell uncle first, if there is anything to improve, uncle, please give me some pointers."

Ming Zhan is frank and sincere, his eyes are soft and bright, giving his face a calm and firm brilliance, Feng Jingqian knows that Ming Zhan really put his heart into it.

Ming Zhan didn't lie to him in the slightest. Feng Jingqian thought about it, and couldn't wait to call Feng Cheng in, and ordered, "Go to Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and pass on my oral order to summon Zhennan King to enter the palace quickly, and discuss something. Yes, let’s go to the Imperial Dining Room and let’s make a few dishes that Ming Zhan likes.”

Feng Cheng respectfully agreed, and said in his heart, this son is really capable, and his holy family is not bad.

Feng Jingnan entered the palace without eating lunch, and was in time for lunch, and the three of them had it together.

After dinner, Feng Jingqian didn't go to the lunch break, and asked Ming Zhan to repeat the salt lesson with Feng Jingnan.

Feng Jingnan put Ming Zhan in the frying pan in his heart, what a bastard, I said why nothing happened, the cat is playing tricks on me.However, in front of Feng Jingqian, he was not suitable for teaching children, so he thought about it carefully, "Whatever you say is empty, you have to try it to see the effect. There is only one thing, those salt dealers are used to being rich and rich, and they snatch it away for a while." The things they eat, not to mention the imperial court, Jiangnan will shake three times." He stared at Ming Zhan, looking for Ming Zhan's trouble, "How to solve this?"

Ming Zhan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Naturally there is a backup."

"The salt class is low this year, so we have to get it back from them." Ming Zhan raised the corners of his lips, "This requires the court to be prepared. On the one hand, the news of the reform of the salt class will be released, and on the other hand, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will start. Uncle Emperor, apart from the salt class, tea, silk, and porcelain are all in the hands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Nowadays, the people of the country are good at drinking, and the supply of good tea is in short supply. Moreover, silk and porcelain are sold by the barbarians in the north and the West in the south. There are big profits to be made. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has always been a aunt and six wives, so they ruined good things and used them as human favors. What good is it for the court? Now bring them back and auction the tea ceremony, silk road, and porcelain road. The highest price will win. Those salt merchants They lost their jobs and were just looking for ways to make a living, so how can they not covet the business of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They have plenty of money, and as long as they have some means, they are afraid that they will not obediently spit out the money."

Feng Jing laughed dryly, pressed Ming Zhan's shoulder, and said freely, "My expectation of you is not in vain," and said to Feng Jingnan, "With Ming Zhan by my side, you can increase your life by 20 years."

Feng Jingnan said in his heart, for such a foodie, I will lose 30 years of my life.

Feng Jingqian, who was still worried about money, suddenly felt light on his shoulders, and said with a smile, "Ming Zhan is my lucky star."

"Although what he said is all hype, I don't know how it works. I still need to find a place to try it first before moving the two Huaihe Rivers." Feng Jingnan had to pull Ming Zhan out of the fire pit, and said solemnly, "Since it was proposed by Ming Zhan Let him do the Yunnan salt class first to see the results. If the benefits are good, the emperor will send an order to Lianghuai. With Yunnan in front, it will just stop the mouths of those salt dealers." Also blocked the courtiers. Mouth.

Feng Jingqian couldn't ask for anything, and he wouldn't refuse.

Feng Jingnan carried Ming Zhan out of the palace. The father and son lived together in the same car, but they were relatively cold-faced, and each was silent.Especially Feng Jingnan tried his best to convince himself that it was outside, which caused Ming Zhan to be injured, and the emperor's face was not very good-looking.

Ming Zhan looked at Feng Jingnan's cold face with a nonchalant look on his face, trembling in his heart, for fear that Feng Jingnan would not be able to hold back his temper and would directly give him a slap in the face.

Unexpectedly, Feng Jingnan just didn't have an attack.

All the way back to the palace, Ming Zhan got off the car and was about to slip away, "I'll go to pay my mother a first."

Feng Jingnan didn't even look at him, leaving a sentence, "Come with me to the study first." Turning around and leaving.

Ming Zhan thought for a while, then raised his foot and chased after him.

After being patient all the way, the anger in Feng Jingnan's stomach subsided slightly, and he dismissed the waiter in the study, and asked, "You just came up with this bad idea!"

"Is it rotten?"

"It's not rotten, it's all stinky!" Feng Jingnan became angry and looked for a fan. Ming Zhan hurriedly brought a feather fan from a table and fanned Feng Jingnan to relieve the fire. Feng Jingnan snatched it and turned around. Sitting on the couch, he said in a cold voice, "This year's salt class is short of money, there is a severe drought in the south of the Yangtze River, and the emperor is short of money. Your bad idea, as long as you can get money, he will definitely do it! You idiot, two Huai salt Shang, you really think they are a group of coolies who sell salt! They are so rich that they have an inseparable relationship with the royal family and nobles of the imperial capital! There is also a salt class, which is full of the emperor's confidantes! You directly smashed their meal How can they not hold grudges against you! Besides, the House of Internal Affairs is the territory of the clan, you are really amazing, today, no matter whether it is an official or the clan, you have knocked them all down with one blow! Don’t you have a smooth life? Impatient!"

Ming Zhan was unmoved, "Do you want to make a bet?"

"What are you gambling?"

"Betting on whether the girl from the Ruan family can live until I get married." Ming Zhan looked calmly at Feng Jingnan's examining eyes, and said calmly, "Uncle Huang didn't find out what happened to Xiaojun Jun back then. Then The matter involved the relationship between Yunnan and the imperial capital, as well as the battle for the reserve position. The people behind the scenes really didn’t make any noise, and they became a blockbuster. If no one is in control of the muddled account in the salt class, who would believe it? Now that the uncle of the emperor has given me a marriage, Father, you don’t think I can marry the daughter of the Ruan family safely, do you?”

Feng Jingnan didn't deny it either, "Lead the snake out of the hole. In the Ruan family, I have made arrangements, and there are people from the emperor. It just depends on whether the daughter of the Ruan family is destined to be a princess!"

"The current situation is extremely complicated. I don't care about a woman! However, the country cannot be without money for a day. How to check the matter in the salt class? How long will it take? The layout of more than ten years, people are secretly I am in Ming Dynasty, and it is normal to check for three to five years."

"Father, now that the emperor's uncle is in the prime of his life, you are a serious emperor's younger brother. When the new emperor succeeds, he will be an emperor's uncle one step further away, and I will be one step further away. Therefore, I sincerely pray that the emperor's uncle will be safe and healthy. "Ming Zhan leaned closer to Feng Jingnan's ear and whispered, "I've thought about these things over and over again, it can't be that Uncle Huang did it." His eyes turned to Feng Jingnan.

Feng Jingnan raised his hand, lightly slapped Ming Zhan across the face, and said in a low voice, "Shut up." It was enough to think about it in his heart, and let his mother speak out.The old birthday star hanged himself, you.

Ming Zhan rubbed his face, "The emperor is in a tight spot right now. Uncle Huang intends to borrow some rice from Yunnan. I'll give him an idea. Although he offends others, first, if he can earn some money, you can also save some money." Silver; second, the water in the salt class is so muddy that you can’t see the bottom, why don’t you just drain the water now, because you’re afraid that the fish won’t jump out; third, I’ve let the words out before, and you haven’t given me any Answer, don’t blame me for thinking of my own way.”

"Did you mention it to me?"

"Even Uncle Huang knew about it in the palace, how dare you say you don't?"

"Do I have to take every fart seriously?" Have you talked openly with Lao Tzu?

Ming Zhan said angrily, "Now you know it's true, right? Why didn't I tell you? I just thought of this move because I knew you were born partial and would definitely not respond. Whatever you want, if you don't let me return In Yunnan, I helped Uncle Huang with the Lianghuai Salt Class and the bidding for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, offending all the people in the Manchu Dynasty, and I have to remember you anyway." A dead pig is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water.

Feng Jingnan really had nothing to do with Ming Zhan, and said helplessly, "Tell me, why are you thinking about taking the salt class?" You can find a smaller department, such as the Department of Rites, even if Zhu Zizheng is replaced, I have no problem , you have to take Lao Tzu's confidant to the knife.

Ming Zhan waved his sleeves bitterly, and said indignantly, "The group of beasts have never seen anyone in their eyes. I am the second in charge of the Zhennan Palace, and they ignore me. They don't even pay homage to the hills. I still plan to eat in peace, so I won't choke them to death!"

Yes, regarding the fact that the salt merchants in Yunnan did not pay him tribute, in fact, Ming Zhan has always been cautious.And, just in time, he exploded.

Ming Zhan grew up in a rich and noble town. To be honest, the most important thing he lacked since childhood was silver. He didn't care about the money from the salt merchants, but what he cared about was an attitude.These people in Yunnan don't seem to realize that there is one more person they should bow down to!

For Ming Zhan's shameless death, Feng Jingnan doesn't mind Ming Zhan jumping into a fire pit and being burned to ashes. The key is that Ming Zhan's identity is too terrible, Feng Jingnan can't help regretting it, why should I be in a hurry to seal him?

However, Ming Zhan's shameless and shameless act of seizing power still caused Feng Jingnan to mercilessly cast aside and criticize him, "I haven't closed my eyes yet, you are going to divide the family business? Pay tribute? What tribute? Whose tribute? You bastard, greedy for petty profit and forgetting righteousness! Ignorant and obscene seed, go and be jealous of a few pennies, you will not be ashamed to throw it away!"

This level of scolding has no effect on Ming Zhan. After Feng Jingnan vented, Ming Zhan said leisurely, "Father, I am a real person. Don't fool me. We cook dumplings in a teapot, and we know what to do." My son, these people under my command were selected by you, my father. Besides, don’t bully me if I am for public or private. This matter is of no benefit to me. There is a lot of money in the salt class. Yes, it’s still convenient and fun for my father to use. How much can I spend in the emperor? If you want to talk about selfishness, there are. Didn’t the father say that? I don’t even fart. No one will continue to fart, what am I planning?"

"As for the tribute paid by the salt merchants, don't you know anything? The eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother, who doesn't have a share? Only I don't. No matter how shallow I am, I can't see the salt merchant's money," Ming Zhan's slender Danfeng eyes showed a bit of contempt, "I don't have to, but they have to."

In other words, they offend my dignity.

Ming Zhan choked Feng Jingnan out of words.

Ming Zhan is a very strange person, as long as he is given a peaceful life, he doesn't mind living a leisurely life.He doesn't really care if he has the power to overwhelm the world or not.

But you can't force him, if you force him to a corner, he will fight back crazily.When he realizes that only rights can bring him safety, he has an unstoppable pursuit of rights.For example, in the past, what Ming Zhan wanted was the position of the son; if he got the position of the son, he would take power.

You don't give it?Very well, he has countless bad ideas, and an open stinking mouth, even Feng Jingnan had no choice but to make appropriate concessions before he had the determination to kill Ming Zhan.

As for Ming Zhan, is he afraid of offending others?

joke.What did those people have to do with him?If the seat is not vacant, how will Ming Zhan arrange his own people?
