Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1548 The Ownership of Mingfeng Bank VII

Cai House.

Cai's mansion is also located on Riyue Street, adjacent to Hu's mansion, and directly opposite is the mansion of Huang Zhong, the Privy Council envoy. This area is all the mansions of ministers participating in politics.

Even in Yudu, Mujing has never underestimated the issue of safety, and every minister who can join the cabinet and participate in politics is his darling.

How could he cause them a little accident because of his negligence.

This piece of mansion is next to the Daming Palace, and it is also close to the location of the left school field in the palace. The left school field has a battalion of guards stationed all year round.

The flank is still the official office with six doors.

Six Doors is currently the only force in Yudu City other than the Divine Guard. Most of the Six Doors arresters are retired from the army. They may not be the elite of the army, but they are really fighting hard. , and the combat effectiveness will not be bad.

In this atmosphere, if there are still people who dare to assassinate, then they really think their life is too long.

In the Cai Mansion, there is a courtyard with hundreds of flowers blooming, and there is a small artificial lake in the courtyard, and an octagonal pavilion stands on the lake.

Among the pavilions, it is a good place to enjoy the scenery, rockery buildings, lake carp, all under the eyes.

This is where Cai Yong usually stays the most.

In the pavilion, bamboo mats are laid on the floor, bead curtains are drawn down, a book case, some books are placed on the book case, and there is also a set of newly fired ceramic tea sets, the fragrance of tea is already wafting out.

Cai Yong sat on the ground, holding a volume of books, drinking tea and reading at the same time, which was a great pleasure for him when he was resting and bathing.

But today he is doomed to not have such a leisurely mood.

"Patriarch, the Empress is back!" The housekeeper trotted over, interrupting Cai Yong's interest in studying, and he asked softly: "The empress has a noble status, and it's the first time to visit her relatives after she ascended the throne. Are we going to show off in Cai Yong's family?" Welcome him?"

"Come back when you come back. Above the imperial court, she is the queen of the world, but in this Cai Mansion, she is just my daughter, Cai Bojie. What can I do to welcome my daughter back home!"

Cai Yong sighed, and said helplessly, today's good mood is gone, if I knew it earlier, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to take a rest.

"Yes!"

Seeing Cai Yong's firm attitude, the housekeeper lost his mind, went to the door himself, and welcomed the eldest lady of the Cai family back.

"Father!"

Cai Yan didn't have a phoenix robe and a golden crown today, but was dressed a bit simply, wearing a light blue palace skirt, and didn't bring any guards, only a Xia Jian guard beside him.

"I'm back!" Cai Yong didn't raise his head, but just said lightly: "Since you're back, go and offer your mother a stick of incense, and let her see, now you are the honorable mother of the world, Let her be honored by you even under the Nine Springs!"

"I have already worshiped my mother!" Cai Yan said softly: "My mother will be proud of me!"

"I have taught you to read for so many years, and how many years have you been married to His Majesty. You have completely forgotten the etiquette system. Now you are the queen of the dynasty. Give me back, is it a bit dignified?"

Cai Yong said dissatisfied.

The honor of the empress, what a noble status, even the people in my own family claim to be my palace.

Rituals cannot be discarded.

"Husband often says that when you are outside, you can make a difference in status, but in front of your relatives, you should not be arrogant!" Cai Yan smiled sweetly and said softly.

"You!" Cai Yong shook his head helplessly. Those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. It's the same, what a headache!

"Xia Jian, you go outside for a while, and I will chat with my father about the family!" Cai Yan said softly to the woman wearing a sword and wearing a strong suit beside her.

"promise!"

Xia Jian bowed his hands to accept the order, and looked around for a while, but found nothing unusual, so he turned and left.

Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter were given to Cai Yan by Zhang Ning at the beginning. All four of them have martial arts skills, and Xia Jian is the most skilled in martial arts.

Although Xia Jian's skill is not as good as Zhang Ning's, but in a real fight, her light and weird swordsmanship is not much worse than Zhang Ning's. Female martial arts, she can be ranked among the top five in Daming.

She has always been Cai Yan's most trusted bodyguard.

After Xia Jian left, Cai Yan took off his shoes and walked in. Kneeling in front of the case, he made tea for his father himself. Drinking tea has become more and more standard for literati.

This also made Daming's tea more and more valuable.

"Stop brewing!"

Cai Yong can't let Cai Yan ruin his pot of good tea. Although Cai Yan has a lot of skills, he is the boss when it comes to making tea. He only drinks his own tea: "Waste my tea." Tea, your husband is getting more and more stingy. He occupies more than half of the good tea in Nanzhong, and there are very few of them that fall into our hands. He also steals my tea all day long. I still keep some of these teas drink!"

"Father!"

Cai Yan snorted, her little face turned rosy.

The Weng and the son-in-law are nothing in court, but they fight fiercely in private, anyway, it's not quite right, when Mu Jing and Cai Yong played mahjong, they never won, the more they fought, the more they lost, and once they lost hard , the lost pockets were all gone, and he took the good tea that Cai Yong's South Middle School students gave him directly from the Cai Mansion, making Cai Yong so angry that he could not wait for a fight.

"Come on!"

Cai Yong curled his lips, and said: "You came back today, probably not because of me, a bad old man, but because of the messy things of Mingfeng Bank. I used to think that you were just keeping money for the Mu family, but now Mingfeng Bank It has been approved at the court meeting, and it belongs to the imperial court. If you still make a move, it means that you will not let go. My daughter is really amazing, and now she is involved in politics!"

Harem meddling in politics has been a taboo in all dynasties since ancient times.

However, Cai Yong's sarcasm did not cause Cai Yan to have any mood swings, because she had already expected it. Reading the books of sages, learning Confucian principles, and looking down on women is a normal outlook on life.

This point was told by Mujing to Cai Yan.

What Cai Yan has to do is to ignore these senses, be himself, do what he wants to do, and make himself more valuable.

This is also encouraged by Mujing.

Today's Cai Yan is no longer the delicate woman she used to be. When she was in Nanxiang, she dared to go to the top of the city, and dared to bear the pressure of defending the city by herself, and she had already begun to change.

Over the years, under the influence of Mujing's latent, bright face, she has become more and more resolute and strong woman.

"We are a couple!"

Cai Yan smiled gracefully, and said softly: "Whether it's good for the harem to be in charge of politics, or the rooster for the morning, as long as my husband still believes in me, I will never let him down!"

"I asked you to marry Mu Jing back then, but I still don't know if it was right or wrong!"

Seeing the earth-shaking changes in his daughter, Cai Yong couldn't help sighing a little, with a bitter smile on his lips.

"Whether it's right or wrong, a girl has been crowned with the surname Mu in this life, and she has no choice!" Cai Yan calmly responded to Cai Yong.

"Can't let go?"

Cai Yong is still a little unwilling to let Cai Yan really stand up, not only because of stubborn thoughts, but also because of distress. Cai Yan will stand up, the pressure will be extremely huge, if she can't bear it, she will be ruined.

This is his daughter, and he feels distressed.

"Father!"

Cai Yan raised her head, her crystal-clear pupils were full of firm light, her voice was not loud but powerful: "This road is for my daughter to leave, maybe it is influenced by her husband, but my daughter knows very well that she wants to go. What path has been taken, what difficulties will be faced, maybe one day, even a strong husband may not be able to protect the daughter, the daughter will be ruined, notorious, and will be left in the history, and the daughter will willingly bear the result of all these !"

In history, when a woman is in her early years, a few of them will end well. Mi Bazi and Empress Lu are in their early days, but none of them have a good reputation.

Don't say it will be bad for thousands of years, but it is also a name that brings disaster to the country and the people.

Cai Yan is very clear that he is leaving now, because they have gone through the road before, and they have participated in the government affairs, which is even more extraordinary than their departure.

Facing your own future, no matter whether you succeed or fail, it may not be a good future.

But she was very determined.

No matter what era, even today's era when women's slavishness is deeply rooted in their bones, every woman always has a dream of self-improvement in her heart, it's just whether she has the courage to implement it.

"Since this is the case, my father will not persuade you anymore. You choose the path yourself, and you will finish it by yourself. You will bear it yourself. I can't tolerate you either!" Cai Yong said calmly.

My own daughter, don't I understand? She seems to be influenced by Mujing, but she has such a personality. If fate takes care of her, she will not be inactive.

In the past, he still had extravagant hopes that she could concentrate on learning and piano skills, so that her talents and learning could be passed down in history in the future, but now it is a wishful dream.

Since she has no intention of concentrating on academic research, she has no choice but to make a breakthrough in this political arena.

"Father, don't worry, even though my daughter is a woman, she doesn't dare to insult the Cai family!" Cai Yan took a deep breath and said firmly: "Father will really come to clean up the family in the future, all he needs is one word, and the daughter will end herself. !"

Cai Yong involuntarily clenched his fists, his harsh words had no effect at all, instead Cai Yan expressed her determined thoughts.

I can't help it.

At this moment, Cai Yong felt somewhat helpless.

He didn't say any more.

Talking is useless.

"Your husband has won the matter of Mingfeng Bank, is there anything you are not satisfied with?" Since Cai Yong regards Cai Yan as a member of the officialdom, he is no longer soft-hearted. What should he do? Just how to do it, he doesn't intend to get involved in this matter, but he can't avoid it if he kills him.

Mu Jing put Hu Zhao together on the Zhaoming Pavilion, which greatly killed Hu Zhao's prestige, which was something he never expected.

In the long run, Mujing's move is fundamentally for the New Deal.

In the past two years, if there is no accident, there will be no wars in the court, and then the New Deal will become the top priority.

As for Mingfeng Bank, Cai Yong didn't care much about it. In his opinion, although Mingfeng had some money, could he still be comparable to the Ministry of Household Affairs?

"Father may not know how much Mingfeng is worth!" Cai Yan explained softly: "If I am willing, Mingfeng can bear the tax income of Ming Dynasty for five years!"

"how is this possible?"

Cai Yong was really shocked at this moment.

Wealth is incomparable to a country, what is the comparison, that is, the annual income of a businessman is comparable to the annual income of a country, and this is how to have an incomparable wealth.

But Mingfeng Bank...

"Nothing is impossible!" Cai Yan said calmly: "The biggest role of Mingfeng is to control prices. We are willing to lower or increase prices for salt, iron, cloth, and rice. In addition, we Cooperating with the Academy of Science and Technology, we all have shares in the civil equipment of the Academy of Science and Technology. You may not be able to imagine the influence of Mingfeng Bank on Minsheng Fund. There's a civil war!"

"Are you scaring me?"

Cai Yong stared at Cai Yan, he knew Cai Yan, and was even familiar with every movement of her, but he would let himself see any lies.

But now he is disappointed.

Cai Yan is too calm. The source of her calmness is her confidence. Her confidence is because her words can withstand any inquiry.

Although Cai Yong is not willing to contact the business world on weekdays, Confucianism, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen, it is a fact that he looks down on merchants, but it does not mean that he cannot investigate.

As long as he is willing, as the Right Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, he has enough power to check all the information of Mingfeng Bank, including the account books. It doesn't take much effort to prove that Cai Yan's words are true or false. .

"Father knows very well that this kind of thing cannot be cheated!" Cai Yan responded calmly.

"No wonder Liu Jin tried his best, but Hu Zhaoming knew that His Majesty would be disgusted, so he still proposed without hesitation to take back Mingfeng Bank and put it under the management of Zhengshitang!"

Cai Yong had a hard time accepting this fact. He already had a high opinion of Mingfeng Bank, but he still underestimated it, and it was very underestimated.

The error in judgment made him make a wrong decision when Ting Tui.

He should just be Hu Zhao.

At that time, he chose to be neutral, because Cai Yan was involved after all, and he didn't want to make his daughter too ugly.

If he had known earlier, he should have supported Hu Zhao.

At this stage, the object of their pursuit is no longer Mujing, but the Ming court ruled by Mujing. In this court, they can show their talents throughout their lives and realize their ambition to bring peace to the world.

So in their hearts, Daming is more important than everything, including the emperor.

"That's how naive they are!"

Cai Yan said: "If I hand over Mingfeng, Mingfeng will collapse in less than a year, father can believe it!"

"Zhaoji, you weren't so arrogant before. There are so many talents in the political affairs hall. You don't think that you are the only one who understands business, do you?" Cai Yong's face was serious. At this time, he no longer regarded Cai Yan as his daughter.

Since negotiations, there is a negotiation attitude.

He is still considering whether to make a shot or not.

If he had chosen before, he would definitely help Hu Zhao, and the court discussed the battle to decide the world, but now it is different, Mu Jing calculated a lot, Hu Zhao and the Zhengshitang lost their dignity, and the Zhengshitang still wanted to be involved in this matter There is little hope of turning the world around.

If he strongly supports it, it will only make the situation more chaotic.

But support Cai Yan?

This is not a good idea, maybe it will take all the reputation that he has worked so hard to manage all his life into it.
