Chapter 502 Smiling Brilliantly
Due to the continuous implementation of the tax reform, foreigners have left this city of Luoyang, which left them countless blood and sweat but failed to change their destiny. Instead, a group of rich people poured into the imperial capital with their families.

The gentry who lost their land are still richer than ordinary people. Their arrival has made Luoyang's housing prices higher and higher, to the point where ordinary people can't afford it in their lifetime.

The housing prices of suburban houses are also increasing exponentially. Now there is no so-called suburban house in Luoyang City, and the whole city is full of land and every inch of money.Ouyang Jing was so happy that he danced on the crown prince's couch, crossed arms with the two court ladies, and spun around on the couch, like a bonfire dance after the harvest.

And Su Yu's alley is now estimated at more than [-] million yuan, even so Su Yu is still under reconstruction.Put most of the princess's private money into it.Su Yu spent money lavishly, and Tang Ling'er looked at the accounts with horror.

Su Yu said, usually when you deal with billions or tens of billions, you are never so nervous.

The princess complained that it was the money in the account, and it belonged to me. Can it be the same?Are you sure you can make money?Don't lose money.

Su Yu said it would definitely work.

The princess fell into longing.

Seeing the worried and yearning look of the princess, Su Yu felt it was funny.

……

The tax reform policy has brought huge benefits to the people.In the past, poor people dared not even dream of having a piece of land of their own in this life, but the Empress Dowager Cao, who is the mother of the world, made the poor people realize their dreams.For this matter alone, Cao Yuzan's prestige among the people is like a ray of light piercing into the sky. Compared with her, any emperor in the history of the Liang Dynasty seems to be bleak.

Now the most popular in the book and newspaper industry is not the God of Wealth, the Door God, or the Kitchen God, but the portrait of Cao Yuzan, the Empress Dowager of Daxing.

Originally, this was a good thing, but there are always people with malicious intentions who add a few strokes to Cao Yuhan's portrait.

At the beginning, Zhang Yunlong and Zhao Ting, the assistant ministers, were added.

In the portrait, the Empress Dowager is sitting on a phoenix couch with a huge figure, while Zhang Yunlong holding a golden gun and Zhao Ting holding a golden mace are only as high as the Empress Dowager's knees.One on each side, it's like a boy and a girl holding a big carp and a gold ingot by Zhao Gongming's side.

There were two generals beside the queen mother, and everyone didn't think there was anything wrong.After all, the queen mother is a woman, and it is the common people's wish to have the protection of the god of war by her side.

But not long after, someone painted Ximen Zhensen, the imperial historian.This is not very appropriate, at least the "Tang Xianshe" in Qinghuafang and the "Chengfushe" in Chengfufang feel very inappropriate.So they successively painted Da Sima Tang Zhen and Prime Minister Meng Danqing.And one is bigger than the other.

You don't need to guess to know who did it, it must be the result of several book and newspaper companies praising their bosses.

Su Yu didn't take it seriously at first.Until one day, he saw a group portrait posted on a long-distance carriage.In the picture, there is another beautiful man beside the queen mother. The man is wearing a red gown, standing respectfully beside the queen mother, holding the jade wat in his hand solemnly.This red-robed minister is the second tallest person in the group portraits after the queen mother, and the queen mother's left hand is slightly pointing at the red-robed minister.It seems to have the meaning of reaching out.

Su Yu was very curious, and went up to ask the coachman, who is this red-robed man?
The coachman was surprised and said: You look like a nobleman, why don't you even know this?This red-robed man is naturally Su Yu, the favorite minister of the empress dowager, who proposed tax reform to the empress dowager to benefit the people, so of course he should be pictured.

Su Yu believed that Xu Luochen must have done this.

……

"Xu Luochen, come out for me!"

Su Yu tore off the portrait, ran back to Qinghuafang, and stood at the gate of Tang Xianshe.

Xu Luochen saw that the situation was not good, rushed out the door, and ran away.

Su Yu chased after him for half a street, grabbed Xu Luochen's neck, and pressed the portrait on his forehead: "Boy, are you just looking for trouble? It's enough for you to paint Tang Zhen, why did you paint me too?" ?”

"No, I didn't do this!"

"You didn't do it, why did you run?"

"I'm happy! Can you control it?"

Su Yu didn't believe it, and continued to pinch him.

Xu Luochen shouted: "What do you want to do? Do you want to strangle me? Well, strangle me! Stretch me quickly! This way you won't have to pay back the money owed to you!"

Su Yu pushed Xu Luochen aside and tore the portrait into pieces: "I know you are famous for me. But why don't you consider whether I want to be famous? This tax reform has indeed won the support of the people, but it has also offended a large number of gentry .Aren't you worried that they will retaliate against me?"

Xu Luochen straightened his collar: "Even if I don't tell you, the gentry will know it's you, but the common people may not know. The common people all say that this is the queen mother's idea, and "Didu Wenshe", "Wenhaoshe" and "Chengfushe" all People who brand them up, say how they helped the Queen Mother, as if it was their idea. I can't get mad!"

Xu Luochen rubbed his neck: "You are so skilled in martial arts, and you have guards by your side, what are you afraid of? Besides, this order was given by the Queen Mother, and the Xuanjia Army carried it out. They want to go to the Queen Mother for revenge, why are they looking for you?"

"The empress dowager stays in the palace all day, will she come out? But I run around all day, and I'm not superficial. Take a step back, even if they don't come to find me, they can still go to my business." "Su Yu threw the torn pictorial on Xu Luochen's face: "Hurry up and destroy the portraits in stock! And tell those chain stores to take down my portrait quickly! Hurry up!"

Su Yu turned to leave, but Xu Luochen yelled, "Oh, Su Jinfeng."

"Why?" Su Yu stood still and half turned around.

Xu Luochen shook his sleeves: "I made you famous, shouldn't you thank me and give me a kowtow or something?"

Su Yu was expressionless, turned around, and hooked his fingers: "Come on, come here."

Xu Luochen said vigilantly: "Why do you want me to go there? Just stand there and knock."

Su Yu dashed forward and grabbed Xu Luochen, throwing him into the grass by the side of the road.

……

In order to prevent retaliation, Su Yu decided to hand over Tongjifang Commercial Street to someone else.

But with whom?
This person can't come out of thin air, he should have some roots in Luoyang.

After much deliberation, I still think Kong Ting is the most suitable.Everyone on the road knows Kong Ting's background, the eldest daughter of Kong Shuo, the leader of the Shanxi bandit.Although Kong Shuo is dead, the Kong family is still very powerful in Luoyang City, and everyone knows the big snake head of the North City, Young Master Kong.

Thinking of Kong Ting, it's been a long time since I saw her.Nowadays, if you want to ask someone to do something, you always have to please them.So Su Yu went to the side street to have a look, and saw a three-story small building that was very unique.After some renovations, a plaque was specially given to Kong Ting, named Peacock Tower.

Take Kong Ting to see this day.

The eldest girl has a beautiful face, excellent temperament, tall figure, wearing a gorgeous skirt, revealing snow-white fragrant shoulders, and ribbons fluttering around her arms, she is really beautiful.

Miss Kong clung close to Su Yu's side, pointing to the building: "Is this small building specially prepared by foster father for Ting'er?"

"Of course."

"The adoptive father must have spent a lot of money, it's better to give up this building to Ting'er."

Su Yu said with a smile: "You don't have to let it go, as long as the adoptive father is still alive, this building is yours. You see, everything here is prepared for you. Even if you marry in the future, this is your natal place."

"No, Ting'er is not married." The girl blushed, but she still spoke with her head up.

"Why?"

The girl's face turned redder: "There is no man Ting'er can fancy, except..."

"Except who?"

The girl blushed and ignored people.

"Hey, it's still not fate." Su Yu smiled and changed the topic: "House prices are skyrocketing, Kong Xiang can be regarded as making a lot of money, and he has added billions of assets invisibly. You are also very good, probably seven or eight now There is always a billion."

Kong Ting smiled in a low mood: "What's the use of having more money, it's better for foster father to come and accompany Ting'er more."

"Oh, yes, yes." Su Yu said perfunctorily, walked quickly into the small building, went straight to the third floor, opened the window, and looked out.

The whole street is under construction, and Su Yu pointed it out to Kong Ting everywhere: "In the future, when the West Market is completed, this place will surely become prosperous. Although the West Market looks like a big warehouse as a whole, our street is next to the street. Jifang Fangmen, the logistics are much better than the location in the corner of the West Market. So we will definitely get a share. The passenger flow is large, and there are many supporting industries. But..."

"What's the problem with foster father? But Ting'er will never refuse to obey."

"Oh, it's like this. The Tang family and the royal family signed the "Peace Alliance", so the Tang family can't send someone to manage it. And I am also the uncle of the Tang family. Although Su Ji's name is hung here now, I I also feel bad. Besides, I don't hide it from Ting'er, and I'm worried that someone will avenge Su's family. So I want to sell this land to others in name."

"Needless to say foster father, this person is Ting'er."

The boldness of the girl is comparable to that of her father.Su Yu was very satisfied.

But the girl suddenly thought of something, and she became a little unhappy: "Ting'er understands, the adoptive father wants to give this small building to please Ting'er on purpose, right?"

"Uh…"

"The adoptive father looked down on Ting'er too much. Ting'er doesn't care about things outside her body."

"No, no, that's not what I mean. I mean, only if you live here, people will be more likely to believe that this street is yours. And in the future, I also hope to put money on you, many construction teams, come to you The settlement is right."

"Hmph!" The girl was very upset and ignored her.

Su Yu twirled her fingers: "Then Ting'er said, how can I be satisfied?"

The girl didn't answer directly, but said: "Ting'er wants to help foster father, but Ting'er has no business experience. Although Kong Jiao and the others are around, they are not people who do big business. In the future, foster father should come to guide more Not to mention too much, I will come once every two or three days, and sit in the Peacock Tower. At that time, Tinger will warm up the wine for her adoptive father, and it would be good to have a drink."

"Oh... of course I will come here often."

The girl smiled: "Okay, let's make a deal."

While speaking, she stretched out her hand like a girl, showing her little finger.

Su Yu blinked: "What are you doing?"

"Pull the hook." The girl smiled brightly, but her face turned red again.

Hooking the little finger and holding the thumb, the girl muttered "spell".

The girl's hands are long and soft, they feel excellent and leave a lingering fragrance.

The girl was very happy when she pulled the hook, but when she let go, she was slightly depressed: "Ting'er has lived in Qinxiang Xiaozhu for more than half a year, and her adoptive father has never been there a few times. Ting'er knows that her adoptive father is afraid of the princess. Suspicious. In fact, foster father doesn't have to think that way, Ting'er is a well-behaved girl, she has no status, and we won't do that despicable thing."

"Ting'er, what nonsense are you talking about. The princess knows your character and character, so she doesn't worry about you." Su Yuhan laughed: "She is more worried about Xiao Qiao, but now Xiao Qiao has married the Duke. Hey, why haven't you played with Xiao Qiao recently?"

Kong Ting pursed her lips: "Ting'er thinks that Xiao Qiao has too many eyes. Ever since she designed Tang Lian, Ting'er and her are just superficial friends."

Su Yu waved his hand: "There are always differences between people. The deeper we get along, the more we can see the shortcomings of the other party, so we are bored. People who value emotions look at people and not money. People who value interests look at money and not people. .I actually think that the best way to make friends is to 'see things'. Although Xiao Qiao's trick seems to be cheating Tang Lian, she is helping you after all."
