The road to get rich through salted fish

In autumn, the clouds are light, and the blue sky looks a little higher than usual. The ancient city is lying lazily in the soft sunshine, dozing off with half-closed eyelids.

Occasionally, a breeze passes by, cool, blowing the flowers and trees in the city, whispering the final farewell.

Four Seasons Pavilion, which was newly opened in Shuzhou City this year, has many cars and horses parked at the entrance today, and the flow of people keeps coming and going, which is very lively.

Liang Chu's full moon banquet was held here, and Liang Chu was naturally Yun Qing's newborn baby.

Originally, according to the genealogy, according to seniority, his name should be consistent with the elder brothers in the village, but who let the first four guys occupy all the spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Although Ji Dong has changed his name now, how could Liang Feng be willing to let him and Yun Qing's precious son continue to have this unlucky name.

Furthermore, based on his current status, if he wanted to give his youngest son a special name, no one could object. The elders of the Liang family in Xinghua Village would not do such a foolish thing.

"Chu" means Vientiane Begins to Renew. It is the word chosen by Yun Qing. The nickname is Yi Yi. It was suggested by Yun Chen. He thinks it matches the name very well.

Liang Feng, a person with little culture, of course felt that the taste of the two great gods was awesome, so he immediately accepted it.

The Four Seasons Pavilion is occupied by Liang Feng today. Colorful silk ribbons are tied on the railings, columns, and flowers and trees in the garden. They are very festively dressed. The maids and servants in the pavilion are serving tea and pouring water in an orderly manner, and the guests are cheering everywhere. , laughing endlessly.

"This child looks really good, how lucky."

"Not bad, not bad, look at these eyeballs, they are very energetic."

"Boss Liang and Fu Lang are good-looking, and the eldest son is also extremely handsome. This young master will definitely be a good-looking talent in the future." A woman covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and laughed.

"Hey, you're asking me to hug you, but I haven't hugged you yet?"

"I'll come first, I'll come first, round and round, so blessed..."

A month later, the child has grown a little bit, was raised white and tender, chubby, the so-called lucky appearance that the elders love most, the wives and sisters who came to the banquet couldn't bear it when they saw it. Live rushing to hug.

Yun Qing stood aside with her maid, smiling extremely helplessly, but fortunately, the wives and husbands who rushed to hug were all wives and husbands who had given birth. They have rich experience in raising children, so I am not afraid that they will accidentally hurt the youngest son.

Brothers and women were scrambling to hold their children in the small garden, while Liang Feng accompanied the big men who were the heads of the family, drinking in big bowls and eating meat in big bowls in the lobby of the restaurant.

There are many of these people, Liang Feng doesn't even know their names, they are just partners who have cooperated with Muyunzhuang occasionally in business, but when He Qi revealed Liang Feng's intention of swinging the full moon wine, everyone sent gifts to their door , Of course, these people have to be added when the invitation is issued at the end.

Several tables were poured down one by one. Although he was still not drunk, he was a little impatient, and it didn't feel comfortable to drink a stomach full of water.

In the end, he simply poked and rubbed his face red, and after drinking a toast from someone, he turned around and fell on the shoulder of He Qi who had been following him to pour the wine.

Damn, if you don't pretend to be drunk, today is really endless. Anyway, he drank so much tonight, no one can say that he has lost face.

Seeing this, He Qi immediately cupped his hands and apologized to the guests, "You've been negligent, you've been negligent, the master really drank a little too much tonight, I'll send him to the guest room for a rest, wait for him to wake up, and then come down to accompany everyone to continue having fun. "

Of course, everyone can't have any opinions. They just said to let Boss Liang take a good rest. They drank so much, and the hard-nosed people couldn't stand it.

After He Qi supported the huge weight, Liang Feng opened his eyes as soon as he walked into the upstairs room, stood up straight, walked to the table and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea slowly.

"You smell like alcohol, so it can be seen that you really drank a lot." The man who was sitting at the table and eating slowly with chopsticks couldn't help but chuckled softly when he saw his distressed appearance.

Liang Feng swallowed his tea, laughed too, shook his head and sighed, "This is really not easy to do."

"Father's troubles." The man continued to laugh.

"Sweet trouble." Liang Feng answered subconsciously.

Hearing this, the smile on Xie Heng's face widened even more, he is also a father, these words really just perfectly interpreted his mood at a certain moment.

With more in-depth cooperation in the past few years, the relationship between Liang Feng and Xie Heng has become better, and it has reached the point where they can sit at the same table and joke with each other.

"By the way, you acted fast enough. You only helped you complete the land deed approval documents for the other ten state capitals of the Salesian House two months ago, but a few days ago, when Danyi listened to the report on the situation of the branches in various places, He raised his mouth and said that the dozen or so courtyards were already full of people this month."

Liang Feng nodded, "It's going to be winter soon, so as soon as I got the title deed, I asked the people below to rush to start the construction. As long as this place is built, it won't take long for it to be full of people."

Xie Heng smiled and nodded approvingly, "You have a heart."

"It's just a lot of money." Liang Feng was very indifferent.

"It's too modest for you to talk like this. There are people who are richer than you. Those big salt merchants in Yangzhou all started with a million taels of wealth, but they never thought...they could sell less private salt and put The common people will be merciful if they have a way out."

Seeing his indignation, Liang Feng raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's not just about the salt merchants..."

"Yeah, the key is the people behind it. From the salt field, to the various transfer envoys, local officials, and salt inspectors, which one is not peeled off layer by layer?"

Liang Feng glanced at him, "Why do you talk about this properly? Is the court dissatisfied?"

Xie Heng sighed, "It's basically been found out. The former Lianghuai salt inspector Yushi accidentally fell into the water and died. When the new Wang Yushi checked the accounts of his predecessor, he found that the salt merchants in Yangzhou had bribed previous salt officials. During the 13 years of being in power, he escaped a total of nearly ten million taels of salt tax."

Hearing such an astonishing figure, Liang Feng couldn't help opening his mouth. You must know that the treasury of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in the year when the weather was the most favorable, tax revenue was only 7000 million taels. This is equivalent to stealing the country's income. ah……

"However, is it possible to tell this kind of thing to me who has no fame?" Liang Feng was a little wary.

"Your Majesty is determined to politically control the salt merchants in the Huaihe River and Huaihe River, and he has already issued a verdict. If you want to ransack the family and exterminate the family of this group of people, the evidence of the crime will be publicized to the world immediately. You just know it two days in advance."

"Ah That's good."

Xie Heng glanced at him, and asked tentatively, "I'm here today, and I mainly want to ask you one more thing. I heard that you built a huge shipyard in Tong'an County. Do you want to go to sea?"

Liang Feng smiled and raised his brows lightly. He had been debating for a while, but finally turned to this question.

"Yes, a ship was built last month, and we will go back and forth in the Yangtze River for a few times. After the ice melts in spring next year, we should formally arrange for the fleet to go out."

"Your boat must be very unusual, right?" Xie Hengjiong looked at him intently.

Liang Feng didn't deny it, "As long as you don't hit the fairy mountains in the sea, and don't be destroyed from the inside by humans, it's no problem to go to sea safely."

Xie Heng's eyes lit up, and he said pleasantly, "So sure, the imperial court may not dare to guarantee the best navy in Quanzhou."

"Would I still be able to beat you?"

Such a confident rhetorical question is enough to show his attitude and self-confidence.

"Great, then... You shouldn't hide this technology, right?"

Xie Heng quickly poured him a cup of tea himself, and smiled enthusiastically. Although the words in his mouth were interrogative sentences, he already had a bottom line in his heart.

Liang Feng was disrespectful, picked up the tea with both hands, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Of course, this is a major event that benefits the country and the people. The navy is stationed in the wind and sun along the coast. Since I can build a ship of such quality, I dare not take it all alone. I would like to dedicate all the blueprints and The manufacturing instructions will be forwarded to the Holy Majesty by your lord."

"Okay, okay, okay, Brother Liang..."

Three good ones in a row, Xie Heng said, and couldn't help standing up, it can be seen that he was extremely excited. Since his elder brother died in battle, the Xie family's power in the army has become weaker and weaker. Waiting for his uncle After another death, that's basically gone.

But now, by taking the opportunity of offering a ship, the Xie family will definitely gain a lot of favor in the army, especially their eldest grandson, Xie Moran's eldest brother, is also stationed in the navy. With this time, he In the future, the path of ascent will definitely be much, much smoother.

"This time, together with the previous spinning wheel and the good reputation of the dozens of sales homes, when the Xie family writes to His Majesty, he will definitely be able to ask for an imperial plaque for you."

As soon as these words came out, it wasn't just Xie Heng who was excited, Liang Feng also stared wide-eyed, you must know that although the dynasty does not exclude merchants, the sons of merchants have the same qualifications as the sons of farmers to take the scientific examination and become officials.

But no matter what, the reputation of businessmen for valuing profits has never been very pleasant. Some self-proclaimed orthodox Confucianists and scholars have a lot of dislike and disdain for businessmen. Now if the emperor can bestow this plaque, it will That's when I really turned around. After all, this is written by the imperial pen. Seeing the plaque is like seeing His Majesty. If you still look down on me, then you are looking down on the Holy Majesty.

No matter how glamorous and aloof and cold some people pretend to be on the surface, they are all secular people, how many dare to really despise the imperial power?

"Then I want to thank you sir this time." Liang Feng substituted tea for wine, stood up and respectfully offered Xie Heng a glass.

Liang Chu was born in the cool autumn, and it was already October to hold the full moon wine party, and the Chinese New Year would be two months away, and the family would return to Xinghua Village in just over a month. It's a matter of an instant.

Otherwise, with this good news in his arms, Liang Feng really wanted to go back to Tong'an County immediately to see his precious big boat.

Excited, when Liang Feng went back at night, he put all his energy on his precious little husband, and he was so excited that he almost soared in the daytime.He thought to himself, it's really been a long time since he's been close to her husband. Yun Qing just started to get pregnant. During the period of three to five months, the doctor encouraged him to be gentle in sex, which would be beneficial for future childbirth. .

But the further back, the belly bulged so big that even if he was allowed to come, he wouldn't dare to touch it. It was too dangerous. In addition, Yun Qing had been in confinement recently, it had been at least half a year.

So the old man, who was dissatisfied with his desires, had sex with the public food that he had accumulated for half a year on this day, so that the next day, Yun Qing was so angry that he wanted him to get out and sleep in a separate room.
