Monument Yangmen

Chapter 329 No Natural Servant

"Ye Hong, how is the business at home?"

After not seeing him for nearly a year, Ye Hong lost a lot of weight, standing in front of Yang Yansi like a hemp stalk.

He bowed his waist and said with a smile: "Master, the greenhouse business at home has been lingering in Bianjing, and there are tens of thousands of taels of silver in profit every year. The young lady uses all the money earned from the greenhouse to subsidize the family. .

At present, the only thing our Yang Mansion East Courtyard can afford is the wine workshop business.

Since the young lady brewed hot shochu, with the help of the Cao family, the sales of shochu have been opened.

At present, in the Northeast and Northwest, there is a great demand for shochu, and the supply is in short supply.

In the past year, our liquor workshop has expanded twenty-fold, with a huge profit of nearly one million taels.

When the villain came to the southern country this time, the young lady had already ordered someone to exchange a million taels of silver into gold leaves, and ordered the villain to bring it to the young master.

In addition, there are a total of 37 wine shop assistants, shopkeepers, branch shopkeepers, and wine masters who followed the villain to the southern country this time.

Now these people are all in Miza City, waiting for the young master to dispatch. "

Yang Yansi was fascinated by what he heard, and when Ye Hong finished his report, he encouraged him: "Ye Hong, I haven't seen you for a year, but you have lost a lot of weight, at least you have lost more than [-] catties, which shows your strength this year. Busy.

The young master has recorded your merits, and when it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds, your share of benefits is indispensable.

Even if you want to be an official, this young master can make your wish come true..."

When Ye Hong heard this, he knelt down on the ground with a thud, saluted Yang Yansi, and was moved: "The villain must be loyal and loyal, in order to repay the young master for his kindness."

Yang Yansi glanced at Ye Hong, and said angrily: "In this southern country, kneeling is not popular. This person cannot kneel, let alone get used to kneeling. After kneeling for a long time, his knees will become soft, and he will never be able to stand up again." .”

Ye Hong stood up, not at all ashamed of kneeling down, but instead said with a smile: "The villain has been reckless for a while, don't blame the young master."

Yang Yansi waved his hand, pointed to the table and chairs beside him, and signaled Ye Hong to sit down.

Ye Hongqing sat on the chair, his buttocks resting on the edge of the chair, but he did not sit deeply.

He casually picked up a seasonal fruit of the Southern Kingdom from the table and threw it to Ye Hong. Yang Yansi said, "I remember you sold yourself to the Cao family. Later, Cao Lin married into the Yang family, and your contract of selling yourself was also accompanied by Cao Lin." Arrive at the Yang Mansion. Hurry up tomorrow, I will send a letter to Cao Lin, asking him to burn your contract of sale, and you will be free from now on."

Ye Hong just received the fruit from Yang Yansi, and he was still a little happy in his heart. Hearing Yang Yansi's words, he immediately stood up, and fell to his knees in front of Yang Yansi again with a plop.

"Master...Master, is it because the villain is not doing his job well, and you want to fire the villain?"

"What is wrong with the villain, young master, please make it clear, the villain will correct it immediately..."

Yang Yansi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I just saw that you did your best for me, so I wanted to give you a chance to be free. It has no other meaning. Don't you even want freedom?"

Ye Hong's answer was beyond Yang Yansi's expectation. Facing the question of freedom, Ye Hong almost didn't even think about it, and shook his head decisively.

"Master, the villain doesn't want any freedom. The villain just wants to take shelter under the young master's family and do things for the young master."

Yang Yansi was dumbfounded, and said in astonishment: "Ye Hong, are you stupid? You don't even want freedom, and you would rather be a slave?"

Cao Yunsheng, who had been standing by without saying a word, suddenly spoke.

"Uncle, this little old man is not stupid at all..."

Yang Yansi was puzzled, "How do you say that?"

Cao Yunsheng bowed his hands slightly to salute, stepped forward, tried to get closer to Yang Yansi, and then said: "Young master, I come from the Cao family, and have been in charge of the Cao family's business affairs since the beginning of the Song Dynasty.

People like Ye Hong who are willing to abandon their freedom and want to be attached to powerful families have seen countless people.

At the moment, many of the shopkeepers of the Cao family standing outside the store are basically voluntarily attached to the Cao family. "

"Active attachment?"

Yang Yansi frowned, Cao Yunsheng wanted to speak out and continue to explain Yang Yansi's doubts, but Yang Yansi refused.

Yang Yansi pondered and said: "I think, I probably understand why these people abandon their freedom and take the initiative to attach themselves to the powerful family."

Yang Yansi lamented, "Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen in the Song Dynasty are almost the same as lowly people. They have no status, but they are good at collecting money. When they have a lot of money, they are envied by others, and they are easy to be swallowed by others.

Therefore, if you want to do business in the Great Song Dynasty, you must have a solid backer.

Am I right? "

Cao Yunsheng and Ye Hong bowed to Yang Yansi together, and praised: "Master (uncle) is holy."

Yang Yansi rolled his eyes, "Don't treat me like you did with the Emperor of Song Dynasty. This is the Southern Kingdom, not Song Dynasty. I won't take that method."

Yang Yansi walked up to Ye Hong, and said solemnly: "Ye Hong, remember, from now on, the Southern Kingdom will be your base for business. In the Southern Kingdom, there are only two types of people regardless of their rank or industry.

One is a citizen of the southern country, and the other is a slave.

As long as you are a citizen of the Southern Kingdom and abide by the law, you must pay commercial taxes in full.Then, in this country, no one can use any means to take away a penny of your property.

As long as someone dares to reach out, I will cut off his hand without hesitation.

Not anyone, even if he is the king. "

Ye Hong looked at Yang Yansi in astonishment, Cao Yunsheng was a little dazed.

Yang Yansi sighed, and said in a deep voice: "In three days, I will erect a law stone at the main entrance of the palace. I will engrave some laws on the law stone. Among them are questions about merchants."

Ye Hong and Cao Yunsheng looked at each other, without saying a word, they just bowed to Yang Yansi.

This bow has nothing to do with closeness, it is just two businessmen, instead of all the businessmen in the southern country, paying tribute to an enlightened ruler.

After saluting, Ye Hong straightened his back, and said loudly: "If the young master really established this kind of law and recorded it on the law stone, the villain is willing to take off his slave status and become a subject of the Southern Kingdom."

Yang Yansi nodded in satisfaction, stepped forward, and patted Ye Hong on the shoulder, "This is like a man. In our Southern Kingdom, there should be no servants. Even if there are, it can only be an employment relationship, not a contract of life and death." protocol.

You must remember that in the territory of our southern country, except for the slaves who were prisoners of war, the rest are the subjects of the southern country.There is no distinction between high and low for all the subjects of the Southern Kingdom. "

Ye Hong's heart was shaken, and he pondered for a long time before he asked a word.

"Is it the same for the royal family?"
