Uncle Guo, your heart thief has been promoted again

Chapter 142
Jiang Yuanwai, Xie En, retreated from the Penglai Hall, until he left the Yongle Gate, he was out of his mind.

For a long time, in order to stabilize the business of the clan, sending the women of the clan into the palace as female officials and in charge of the purchasing power of the internal treasury is what all the major imperial merchants are doing.

Now when this Mu Gui came, he first took away the purchasing power of the heads of various departments, and then offered the imperial business strategy, and uprooted the decades-old relationship between the major imperial merchants and the court officials. .

In this way, it would no longer be of any benefit to the imperial merchants to continue sending female officials to the palace.

Moreover, the right to bid for imperial procurement changes every year, and the imperial merchants who were elected this year will no longer be eligible to be selected next year.

The imperial merchants can get less benefits, so they will not spend a lot of money to bribe the inner officials of the palace. The corrupt officials with impure minds who want to profit from the empress will not get any benefits, so they will no longer stare at this errands.

Those who stay will be those good slaves who have no one to depend on, have to sell their labor to support their families, and will work hard for this salary.

In this way, it is very good for the empress and other merchants who have strength but cannot get in, but it is not good for their families who have become imperial merchants, and it is not good for those internal officials they have supported for so many years. it is good.

And the culprit in this whole incident was Mu Gui.

So why did Jiang Rongxi recommend Mu Gui as her successor?

Jiang Yuanwai was really puzzled.

He left Yongle Gate in a daze like this, and even the other imperial merchants came to discuss countermeasures with him, but he was perfunctory.

"father!"

Jiang Yuanwai had just left the Yongle Gate when he was dragged aside by Jiang Baoyu.

It took him a while to see Jiang Baoyu's face clearly, but he immediately took Jiang Baoyu's hand and said, "Good boy, it's boring to stay in this palace. You wait for daddy for two days, and daddy will give it to you." Make some plans and arrange for you to go out of the palace."

After speaking, he looked back at the direction of the harem, and said angrily: "They don't need our Jiang family anymore, and we don't want to serve them anymore."

Jiang Yuanwai said that he wanted to take Jiang Baoyu away at this moment, but Jiang Baoyu dragged him aside and asked, "Father, don't talk like this all of a sudden, what happened?" What's wrong? Tell me quickly."

Member Jiang stomped his feet and said with a long sigh: "Isn't it all because of your new fashion clothes?"

After speaking, he told Jiang Baoyu all the contents of Huang Shang's policy.

"So that's what Master said yesterday?"

Sure enough, she didn't want to deal with the Jiang family specifically. She wanted to overthrow the existing imperial business system and form a good trade relationship. She wanted to do such a big thing.

Jiang Baoyu suddenly realized, but Jiang Yuanwai looked on in surprise, pulled Jiang Baoyu over and said, "Why is Dad still a little excited looking at you?

Their old Li family has eaten and used our food for so many years, and now they are tired of eating and using it, so they want to kick us away?
Now even the plaque of the Imperial Merchant is about to be withdrawn, how can you still laugh?

How did I give birth to you so incompetent? "

"father--"

Jiang Baoyu also sighed, shook his head and said, "Why are you so confused? For so many years we have delivered goods to the palace according to the purchase price. In order not to let people find mistakes, everything is the best. Beyond palace standards.

Not only did I not earn a penny, but I also paid a lot of freight for nothing.

Now they don't need us, isn't that a good thing? "

When Jiang Yuanwai thought of all the real money he had spent in the palace for nothing all these years, and now that he hadn't lost any of the benefits, he felt that he was sincerely feeding the dog.

"That's what I said, but I still can't swallow this tone. Besides, now that we don't have the title of Imperial Merchant, our business in the Six Kingdoms will be affected to some extent."

"What are you afraid of?"

Jiang Baoyu raised his head with his hands behind his back and said without any worries, "Could it be that the word-of-mouth that our Jiang family has worked so hard to build over the years will be shattered and vulnerable to a single blow?"

"That's not the case. Let's not talk about it. Just in Shendu, I, Jiang, dare to guarantee that if others have it, my Jiang family will definitely have it, but if my Jiang family has it, other families may not have it." .”

"Wouldn't that work?"

Jiang Baoyu was full of confidence, and continued to encourage Mr. Jiang, saying: "Justice is in the hearts of the people. As long as we do well and the customers are not blind or deaf and have no sense of their own, even if the emperor and queen don't buy it, someone will buy it."

Jiang Yuanwai nodded repeatedly at Jiang Baoyu's words, but after a while, he suddenly figured something out, looked at Jiang Baoyu and said, "You girl, don't you want to leave the palace with dad? Are you addicted to staying in the palace? "

Jiang Baoyu didn't answer directly, but instead asked Jiang Yuanwai: "Father, you said that when the great aunt and aunt entered the palace as female officials, it was also for the family's business?"

"of course not."

Jiang Yuanwai couldn't help wiping his tears when he thought of his aunt and aunt.

"When I was young, I often heard from your grandfather that at that time your great-grandfather's family was just a small workshop business, and the rich people on the street were rampant, which made it impossible for a small workshop like ours to survive. There are ups and downs.

Your great aunt had no choice, so she sold herself to a rich family to be a maid. Abandoned your great-grandfather and a group of brothers, and put our Jiang family on the right track again. "

Jiang Yuanwai cried while talking, thinking that it is really not easy for the Jiang family to have today's climate, but it must not be defeated in his hands.

"As for your aunt, she is a truly amazing talent. She has shown her talent for making clothes since she was very young. As the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, she has great glory and wealth. She is clamoring to come to the palace to pick you up." Great-aunt's class.

Facts have also proved that she has this ability and is worthy of this position. "

Jiang Yuanwai said, and looked at Jiang Baoyu with contempt and said: "But you ask this, do you want to compare yourself with the elders? Forget about it, if your sister said something like this, it would still be convincing. You? Hmph!"

It would have been fine if Jiang Yuanwai hadn't mentioned Jiang Baozhu, but this mention of Jiang Baozhu set Jiang Baoyu on fire.

"What's wrong with me? At least I won't be a deserter like her! Just wait and see, when I'm 14 years old and can take the female officer exam, I'll definitely become famous in one fell swoop and impress you all!"

After Jiang Baoyu finished speaking, he left angrily.

Member Jiang could only shake his head, sighed and said to himself, "After all, I'm still a child. Baozhu also has difficulties. I don't know when she will understand."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Baoyu came back after leaving halfway, and said without much confidence: "I don't have much money to use recently, so I need to prepare more. I want a whole tael of gold and silver, and don't want to break silver jewelry."

As she spoke, she probably felt that she was short-handed, so she glanced at Mr. Jiang with some embarrassment, and said in a very gentle and congenial voice, "Thank you, dad."

After speaking, even he was trembling with nausea, and ran away in a hurry.

Member Jiang looked astonished, and he shook his head and smiled after a long time: "In my lifetime, I can still hear this girl say thank you to me. If she can always be so sensible, let alone a few boxes of gold, it is a golden mountain. what?"

As he said that, he went straight out of the palace gate, ready to go back and make some plans to deal with the new strategy, but as soon as he got into the carriage, he was frightened by an arrow that pierced the carriage window. I saw the note hanging on it, otherwise I would have to scream to alert the guards.

Carefully pulled out the arrow and opened the note, and saw that it said: "My master invites you to meet at Mingyue Tower."
