Step on a branch

Chapter 345 Prepared a lot

In the room, Lin Zhi explained to them carefully from beginning to end.

On that day, Zhuangzi said goodbye, Qin Luan and others went west in a carriage, while the others thought of other ways.

After discussing with Mrs. Yongning Hou, Princess Pingyang chose to fight alone.

Here is her identity, no matter what the imperial decree says, as long as she denies it, no one in Qi Yang can do anything to her.

Instead, she can restrain the Yan family and Tang Choi.

With the eldest princess tormenting Qi Yang, the government soldiers are short of manpower, not to mention going up the mountain to look for it, even the official roads are unable to turn around.

Mrs. Yongninghou and the others set off cautiously and went out of Qiyang's territory again.

Then, stop and go.

Lin Zhi was very familiar with the eldest princess's private property, which made it convenient for them to settle down everywhere.

The benefits of not rushing on the road will gradually appear as time goes by.

The officers and soldiers of those state capitals can't afford it.

And when the news of the success of the frontier pass came, more people wanted to return to their hometowns, and they took advantage of the trend to mix in, which can be regarded as "big hermit in the city".

"The most important thing is that Deng Guoshi is a good entry point. We know it, and the empress dowager knows it too." Lin Zhi laughed at this point, "To be on the safe side, we need a reason to hide in the dark."

As it turned out, they were prescient.

Deng Guoshi was killed.

"You mean the mine?" Lin Fan asked, "Qiyang will open a mine, and the regulations are complete."

"During the reign of the first emperor, it was established that the quota was set, three cents of the tax was collected, and seven cents were purchased," Lin Zhi asked, "you know this?"

Lin Fan nodded.

At that time, there was a lot of waste to be done, and the treasury didn't have much money, and the price of the imperial court's arrest was not high. Therefore, in the next twenty years, the price was raised twice.

Lin Zhidao: "It should be eight years ago, when the price was raised for the second time, it was also changed to no quota."

Lin Fan pursed his lower lip.

Vaguely, he could sense some of the problems.

"At that time, there was a drought in Qiyang, and the harvests were poor, so the court had to provide disaster relief," Lin Zhidao said, "The Qiyang mansion proposed that under such circumstances, even the land could not be kept, and it was really unable to complete the quota. In order to alleviate Qiyang's plight, the court decided to I went to set up the quota, and also raised the purchase price.”

Qin Luan also sensed something: "After the disaster has passed, the amount of the waived quota has not recovered?"

Lin Zhi glanced at her approvingly and nodded.

The earlier quota was also based on the ability of the Qiyang Mansion during the establishment of the first emperor's dynasty, and was set at a fully achievable amount.

With the development of internal affairs, Qi Yang's manpower and material resources are not the same as before. Compared with Qi Yang's ability, the establishment of the forehead is actually considered less.

As a result, the Yan family, who controlled the Qiyang Mine, not only completed it according to the plan, but also took advantage of the drought to wipe away the matter of setting up the forehead.

"In the past eight years, the amount of mining reported by the Qiyang Mansion has been high or low, which makes more or less sense." Lin Zhi paused, and then said, "But it's not true."

After all, once it is reported, the family only has three points left, and the seven points are bought by the court at a limited price.

But as long as the underreporting, the concealed part will not be divided into accounts, and the price will not be lowered, so you can buy and sell as you want.

"Does the Empress Dowager know about this?" Qin Luan asked.

After asking, Qin Luan shook his head first.

The Empress Dowager and even the Duke of Fuguo may have been kept in the dark by the clansmen.

Jiangshan is Zhao Li's Jiangshan.

The Yan family concealed the report, and it was the empress dowager's own son's treasury that was damaged. How could she agree?

As for the relatives, far away from the capital, feelings are naturally not as good as money.

The relatives of the emperor are majestic, but they are in Qiyang, isn't the local emperor of Qiyang not majestic enough?

Furthermore, if the empress dowager knew about it, she would never let the eldest princess stay in Qi Yang with her ruthless efforts to kill Deng Guoshi.

Lin Fan was also thinking about Qi Yang.

Throughout the dynasties, regardless of whether it is allowed or not, it is impossible to eradicate the matter of opening private mines.

In gold, silver, copper, lead, iron, and other mines, there are various systems, such as the system of drawing points, the system of right to buy, and the system of class quotas, and there are many parallel systems.

The imperial court has its rules, and the local government has its own methods.

In the end, it is actually a balance between each other.

Qiyang mansion, because Yan's natal family was in charge of the mine, both the first emperor and the emperor gave a lot of concessions.

It's just that no matter how much you give, you can't satisfy your desire.

The Yan family made their fortunes by mining, how much they dug and earned in troubled times, with so much gold and silver in their eyes, how could they be willingly drawn points and arrested and bought?

Underreporting and underreporting are naturally conceivable.

"The eldest princess wants to find out how much the Qiyang mansion has concealed in the past few years?" Lin Fan thought about it, "It's not easy to find out."

Although the Yan family has ledgers, it is absolutely impossible for the eldest princess to go through those private accounts.

However, the Yan family had to have Tang Tzu's assistance in concealing the matter.

"Having a rough number is enough to cause trouble." Lin Zhi laughed.

What they need is a point of entry.

The side on the side of Qingjun, without Deng Guoshi, can use Yan's family to top it.

As for the Empress Dowager not knowing, it doesn't matter, anyway, she can't write two Yan characters in one stroke, after all, her Yan clan is poaching Da Zhou's corner.

They can be caught off guard when Beijing is not aware of it.

"So," Qin Luan said after thinking, "we have to go to Qiyang first?"

The specific implementation requires more deliberation and deliberation.

Before the eldest princess left, she had a few discussions with Mrs. Yongning Hou. In recent days, Mrs. Hou and Lin Zhi also thought about it and came up with a preliminary idea. They asked Qin Luan and others to go back and tell Yongning Hou that the old Hou would take it. Final thoughts.

The night is drawing to a close.

The three of Qin Luan didn't stay any longer, they got up and went back.

In the camp, the main tent of the Marquis of Yongning was still lit, which showed that he had been waiting.

Qin Wei went in first.

Qin Luan lagged behind, turned her head and glanced at Lin Fan: "What are you thinking?"

Lin Fan came back to his senses, and looked at Qin Luan.

Not far away, a brazier was burning, and the light from the fire illuminated half of Qin Luan's face, and also clearly reflected his figure in her eyes.

Lin Fan stared into Qin Luan's eyes for a while, then said, "I just remembered what the eldest princess said before."

Qin Luan blinked.

"The time we went to see her together," Lin Fan said softly, "She said at the time that as long as I made up my mind, she would support me."

Having said that, Qin Luan naturally remembered, and naturally understood Lin Fan's feelings.

That day, the eldest princess only told Lin Fan what she knew about her brother and sister-in-law, and let Lin Fan choose by herself.

She will not give up or work hard, it all depends on Lin Fan's heart.

Before Lin Fan made his choice, from the beginning to the end, the eldest princess never mentioned her contribution, and did not regard those as Lin Fan's burden.

But in fact, looking back now, they will find that the eldest princess has been working hard in the dark for the past 20 years.

The concubine Shu who was sent to the palace and ranked as the fourth concubine; Zhuangzi, shops and the money brought by these properties that were not under her name but safe enough along the way; the handle of Qiyang Yan's family...

The eldest princess has prepared a lot.
