Need for a Guard

Of course Xiao Yan has information, knowing that the chamber of commerce led by Shangcai, Zhao Kexin, and Huang Dong is related to Miao Liming, Zhao Guorong, and Xu Tianhong. , Zhao Guorong is one of his own, so he has not taken strict precautions against them.

However, he never expected that Shi Yue would form an alliance with these guys by using a tactic of monkey stealing peaches.

Xiao Yan was furious, and said to Cheng Ye: "Hurry up and send someone to call Zhao Guorong, how hard do I want his bones? Is he not afraid that I will kill him?"

Cheng Ye immediately sent someone to go, and half an hour later, the man came back, bowed to Xiao Yan nervously, and said: "I didn't even enter Zhao Shang's door, and I was beaten back by a group of servants."

"Wow, I'm so pissed off." Xiao Yan jumped into a rage, and suddenly stood up, "Wait for me to go and fix him myself."

Just waiting for this time, I heard Liu Dianzhong's old voice coming from outside the door, "Prime Minister Xiao, you have to decide for me, something is wrong, something is wrong."

Xiao Yan looked up and couldn't help being startled: Is this Liu Dianzhong?Why haven't you seen me ten years old for a few days?

Liu Dianzhong did not expect that he would be a hero in the end, but in the end he would not be safe at the end of the day. His eyes were piercing, his face was full of ditches, and his hair was gray. He staggered and ran to Xiao Yan, knelt down with a plop, and cried loudly: "Master Prime Minister, something is not right. Well, all the white-eyed wolves from the chamber of commerce have gone to Tianyi No. 10, and half of the money in Jiyun Bank has been withdrawn. Among them, only 3 taels of silver were sold, and the gross profit was less than [-] taels..."

"what?"[

Xiao Yan was so angry that he kicked Liu Dianzhong in the face, and cursed: "You useless bastard, a good Jiyun account, you made it like this, what use is there for you?" It was punching and kicking, Liu Dianzhong ran out of Xiao's mansion with his head in his arms.

Cheng Ye hurriedly pulled Xiao Yan back, and said, "Father-in-law calmed down, and Liu Dong's family did their best. If you want to blame, you can only blame Shi Yue for being too insidious and treacherous."

Xiao Yan was so angry that he sat on the chair, his face turned pale, and he snorted in despair, "Shi Yue, this is going to cut my food."

He has been running the business for so many years, relying on the Meng family and the Jiyun. The Meng family was offended by him and parted ways. Now that the Jiyun is taken over by Shi Yue, how can he be calm?

Cheng Ye said: "Master Yue Zhang, we must quickly find a way."

Xiao Yan said: "The matter has come to this, what else can be done? According to me, just be ruthless and drive Zhao Guorong, Miao Liming, and Xu Tianhong from the stage."

Cheng Ye said: "That's just treating the symptoms, not the root cause."

Xiao Yan said: "Do you have a cure for the root cause?"

Cheng Ye smiled strangely: "Why did Zhao Guorong and others form an alliance with Shi Yue?"

Xiao Yan said: "For the sake of profit, the future power of Tianyi is too large, they want to occupy the position first."

Cheng Ye asked again: "Why does Tianyi make so much money?"

Xiao Yan said: "They are all those bastards from Gewuyuan, never thought they would be so powerful."

Cheng Ye said: "That's the end of it. The root lies in the craftsmen of Gewuyuan. I might as well lure these craftsmen at a high price to serve our Jiyun account. We call it drastic."

Xiao Yan said: "Okay, then you can do it quickly."

While Cheng Ye was still trying to find ways to poach people, a big move was already brewing in the court. [

In the early days, Dong Jun from the Ministry of Industry came out and kowtowed to the emperor: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor."

Yan Jing frowned and said, "Is there any happy event for Dong Shang?"

Dong Jun said: "Since the establishment of Gewuyuan, a lot of technology has been innovated, and the three teachings and nine streams of miscellaneous studies have made leaps and bounds. Tianyihao is affiliated to Gewuyuan. The business is booming, and the business is booming. In just over half a month, we have already paid [-]% of the tax. Yu Wanliang, here are the details, please look over it, Your Majesty."

"What?" Yan Jing opened her mouth wide in surprise, "There are so many?"

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't believe it. From this tax money alone, it can be concluded how prosperous the business of Tianyihao should be?Moreover, the courtiers were also beating drums in their hearts. The business plate in the capital is still so big, why has there been more tax money?

In fact, Shi Yue, Bai Mochou, and Yan Jing all understand this tricky thing.

In the past when merchants in the capital did business, the four major chambers of commerce colluded with the tax inspection department controlled by Xiao Yan, and the government-business alliance filled most of the tax money into private pockets. Where would the treasury see the money?

It's different now, Shi Yue won't embezzle the tax money, and pay the full amount. After careful calculation, the businessman didn't lose anything, but the gang of moths headed by Xiao Yan really lost.

San Mao handed over the details to Yan Jing, Yan Jing studied carefully for a while, finally coughed lightly, and smiled at Xiao Yan: "Prime Minister Xiao, last month's commercial and trade tax payment from the Tax Inspection Department was just in line with the sky. The amount of tax and silver for half a month on the [-]st is roughly the same, can Prime Minister Xiao explain what is going on?"

All the ministers could tell that the little emperor was pointing at Xiao Yan's secret tax deduction.

Xiao Yan blushed so hard that his neck was thick, and he didn't answer for a long time, Bai Mochou said: "I'll answer for Prime Minister Xiao, in fact, all the tax money was eaten by dogs, Your Majesty, we can't compete with dogs for food."

Bai Mochou is an old hooligan who dares to say anything, and Manchu civil and military burst into laughter

Xiao Yan's face was livid with embarrassment, pointing at Bai Mochou, tremblingly said: "Old rascal Bai, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Bai Mochou said: "Where am I talking nonsense? Well, even if I am talking nonsense, you can tell you, where did the dogs eat the money, and where did it go?"

"This……"

Xiao Yan held back for a long time before he said bitterly: "It is clearly the reform and innovation of Gewuyuan that gave birth to the buying enthusiasm of the people and set off a commercial revolution."

Bai Mochou immediately said: "According to what Prime Minister Xiao said, Gewuyuan's move is of great benefit to the state?"

Xiao Yan faintly felt that something was wrong, but he had no choice but to say: "This statement is true."

"Okay, Prime Minister Xiao finally told the truth."

Bai Mochou laughed loudly, bowed her hands to Yanjing, and made a generous speech, "Your Majesty, just as Shi Yue was appointed as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry, he reformed the academic system, went through all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, and prepared to build the Gewu Academy. In just over a month, he created Huge economic benefits have made the national treasury abundant, this is a talent of great sages, hard to come by in a lifetime, and should be reused, minister Li Shi Yue was promoted to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry."

Dong Jun also hurriedly came out, saying: "Gewuyuan runs a school, and Vice Minister Shi works day and night. , It is also the former ancients, the later ones, the civil and military in the Manchu Dynasty, people do not respect Shi Fu Shi Lang, and the minister also Li Shi Shi Fu Shi Lang was promoted to the Minister of Industry."

Zhao Guorong, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, said neither sad nor overbearing: "Vice Minister Shi has an excellent official voice, is loved by the people, and has economic talents and ministerial strength."

Shang Miao Liming from the Ministry of Officials came out, "Chen Li."

Xu Tianhong also bowed happily, "Chenli..."

……

Many ministers all supported Shiyue, and there was almost no voice of opposition.

"Well, I also think that Vice Minister Shi is versatile in both civil and military affairs, and is worth relying on!" Yan Jing laughed loudly, looked at Xiao Yan, and said, "What's your opinion, Prime Minister Xiao?"

It was only then that Xiao Yan realized that he had been fooled, and it was all his fault that he had praised Gewuyuan just now, but now it is hard to recover.
