Chapter 128 News
"These account books give me a headache. Didn't we come to Xuzhou to do something big? What's the use of reading these account books in the room all day long?"

Cheng Mingliang read the account book for a long time, and sighed for a long time, seeing that no one paid attention, he couldn't help complaining.

Guo Yixing, who was sitting across from him, heard that he was not slow in flipping through the ledger, and even comfortably held a teacup with the other hand to moisten his throat.

Seeing this, Cheng Mingliang was not annoyed at all.Getting along day and night for many days has already made him feel a little bit of Guo Yixing's temper.Although Guo Yixing looks heroic and unrestrained, he is full of thoughts. He is so calm at the moment, so he must be able to live with income.At the moment Cheng Mingliang reached Guo Yixing's side, and politely lifted the teapot.

"Brother Guo, is the tea cold? Come on, I'll refill it for you. Hey, even though it's hot today, you can't drink too much cold tea."

The appearance of Cheng Mingliang's hind legs made Guo Yixing really unsteady, and he shook his head and laughed.

Seeing this, Cheng Mingliang quickly squeezed the other party's shoulders more attentively, "Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng—tell me, the fourth prince and Su Zijin, why are you here in Xuzhou? They leave early and return late all day long, but They don’t care about the fact that there are eyeliners around us watching the mountains and rivers. If this continues, what else can we achieve in Xuzhou?”

Cheng Mingliang was really confused.

They started from Surabaya all the way, and they have been under the eyes of caring people, saying that they experienced different human customs. Many shops opened along the way, so they had to check the account books every few days to check and clear accounts. But other things, He didn't see it at all.

Could it be that the fourth prince and Su Zijin came here to open a shop to earn money?Thinking about the account books of the past few days, it is not a small profit, but compared to Su Zijin's gold hand, it can only be sprinkled.

Therefore, Cheng Mingliang was really puzzled, so he took advantage of the time when the fourth prince and Su Zijin were going out, and wanted to find out with Guo Yixing first, to see if he understood, the two people sold the gourd what medicine.

Guo Yixing was very clear about Cheng Mingliang's careful thinking, so he put on airs with peace of mind.

"Hey, don't tell me, it's a day's work, and my shoulders are really sore. Brother Cheng's hands are really strong, much better than my little boy's kneading skills!"

"Do you believe I can make you more comfortable?!"

Cheng Mingliang squeezed the bone socket under Guo Yixing's thick muscles with his hands, and said deliberately.

Guo Yixing stopped pushing his feet in an instant, and began to laugh, "Okay, don't pinch it, you should save your skills and return to Beijing to show your hospitality. Don't you want to know the intentions of the Fourth Prince and the others?"

Cheng Mingliang let go of the bones under his hands, pulled over a solid wooden armchair, and sat down beside Guo Yixing, "That's right, brother Guo, I'm still confused. It's said that the fourth prince's visit to Xuzhou is related to the state treasury." What's the use of opening a shop like this every day and looking at the books? It's important!"

Guo Yixing tapped the ledger on the table with his chin, "Isn't this the business?"

Cheng Mingliang didn't like to read books since he was a child, and he has been reading the ledger patiently for many days, now he didn't want to look at it any more, he just raised his hand and pulled the ledger on the table twice, "That's it?"

Guo Yixing nodded, "That's not all."

After saying that, Guo Yixing stopped whetting his appetite, and directly took out two ledgers, "Look, this is the shop in Surabaya, and this is the shop in Hailing, the county town of Xuzhou where we are located. What do you see from these two books?" different?"

Cheng Mingliang glanced at him. Although he was impatient these days, he still put his heart into his job, so he opened his mouth and said, "Both Surabaya and Hailing had a net profit balance of more than 400 taels last month. , can be regarded as a prosperous shop, but the more than 400 taels is nothing in the eyes of Su Zijin, right? I heard that her business with His Majesty is worth a million taels a year!"

As he spoke, Cheng Mingliang couldn't help feeling jealous.

Originally, when he first opened the shop to settle accounts, he had great expectations.Because of Su Zijin's reputation, he thought that this time he would be able to drink spicy food like the popular ones.As a result, a few hundred taels a month?Although he had never seen any money, he didn't bother with it.

Guo Yixing said at this time, "You also know that Surabaya and Hailing are small towns on the edge of the city and prefectures in one county, not to mention the big differences. The same shop has the same income. You don't think there is anything wrong with it. ?"

Cheng Mingliang frowned, and tried to recall the account book he had just calculated, "No, I have checked this account book, and it will never be wrong. The people who run the shop are also their own people, and they would not dare to be greedy even if they had the guts. Around the government? It’s also possible that they follow us all the way and take more care of our shop, which is also reasonable.”

Guo Yixing shook his head, "Don't think it's so complicated. One shop can be controlled, but all shops are the same. Can they still communicate in time?"

Cheng Mingliang thought about the income from the dozens of shops he opened, and finally realized something was wrong, and said suddenly. "That's right, it's like this in one family, but it can't be the same in every family. Brother Guo, what do you think is the reason?"

Guo Yixing had a secretive expression on his face, "I don't know either."

Cheng Mingliang was stunned, almost furious.Don't you know that you pretended to be with me for a long time?
Guo Yixing, on the other hand, looked like he was holding the pearls of wisdom, "We don't understand economics, Su Zijin must understand. There must be a deep meaning in it!"

Cheng Mingliang scratched his head, "Really?"

He looked suspiciously at Guo Yixing's mysterious expression, with some doubts.

After thinking about it for a day, Cheng Mingliang couldn't hold back in the end. After the fourth prince and Su Zijin returned to the mansion, they immediately came to see him.

He was embarrassed to ask the fourth prince, afraid that the fourth prince would think he was too stupid, Guo Yixing had already said that he still didn't understand, so he went to Su Zijin secretly.

"Miss Su, please explain to me."

Su Zijin was shaking the sandalwood fan in his hand. It was the beginning of summer. Although the courtyard was well designed and there was a cool breeze, Su Zijin was still used to shaking the fan with his hand.After hearing Cheng Mingliang's doubts, Su Zijin couldn't laugh or cry.

"We came here this time to improve the revenue of the treasury. In the revenue of the treasury, the salt tax is a major component and the most operable part. We have opened a shop along the way. In addition to experiencing customs and customs, there is also testing The harvest of the salt tax. What Guo Yixing said is right, but it is not right. There is so much meaning, as long as it is done in an open and aboveboard way. Don’t we know how much tax is paid for a shop, ten families, and thousands of families? However, Guo What Yixing is talking about can be regarded as marginal, and every one of them is quite similar. What does this mean? It shows that Xuzhou salt merchants have a thorough understanding of Xuzhou. After all, this is their territory. In all aspects, they have penetrated deeper than the government .It is deeper than the imperial court. In this regard, we should pay more attention to it...”

Cheng Mingliang heard what Su Zijin said. To be honest, he still didn't understand, but at least he understood one thing, that is, Su Zijin and the Fourth Prince could indeed see from these books what he didn't know. But there is one more thing, that is Cheng Mingliang, like himself, he also doesn't understand anything, and he thinks he understands everything.

That's it.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just be afraid that you don't understand alone.Now that he has a big understanding that he doesn't understand and doesn't understand to set off for himself, Cheng Mingliang is not in a hurry in an instant.

...

Qin Jing's place was differently busy from Su Zijin, Cheng Mingliang and the others.

When he went out, there were always people from all walks of life who couldn't escape inviting him to a banquet.Today when he came back slightly drunk, Su Zijin poured green tea and handed it to Qin Jing.

Qin Jing took the tea, pulled Su Zijin to sit beside her, and leaned his head on Su Zijin's shoulder naturally. After a while, there was a tremor.

Su Zijin looked down at Qin Jing, only to see that he was holding a teacup, took a sip with his head down, and couldn't help laughing again, the tremors radiated from his chest.

"what happened?"

Su Zijin asked.

"It's nothing. From today on, Xuzhou should pass on the dominance of you, the only daughter of Marquis Wu."

Su Zijin pursed his lips and said in disdain, "Just pass it on."

Originally from Qinjing to Hailing, the elders who have become official, and the old people who have a relationship with His Majesty and Marquis Wu, have come to entertain countless people.As the only daughter of Marquis Wu, Su Zijin could do whatever she wanted without giving others face, but Qin Jing couldn't.He still needs to come forward to deal with some things that really can't be shirked.

Today, Su Zijin really couldn't stand it anymore, so he led someone to kick open the door of Wanghai Tower, and brought Qin Jing back forcefully.

I believe that from now on, if anyone wants to entertain Qin Jing, they will have to weigh Su Zijin's wishes.

But she is a woman and the only daughter of Marquis Wu, there is really nothing that others can do about her.

It can be expected that Xuzhou, who have nothing to do elsewhere, will be discouraged by spreading the reputation of Su Zijin as the Lion of the East River after today.

Su Zijin didn't care about this.Not to mention that she doesn't live in Xuzhou, even in Kyoto, some people rely on the old to sell the old, and she dares to lift the table when she gets impatient.

"Zi Jin is domineering and protects her husband. The kid really has nothing to repay. Why don't we get engaged as soon as possible? I promise you with my body?"

Su Zijin shook his shoulders exaggeratedly, and Qin Jing also sat up straight, but Su Zijin exaggeratedly said, "Are you repaying your favor?"

Although he knew that Su Zijin was joking with him, Qin Jing still sighed unconsciously, stretched out his hand and pulled Su Zijin to sit beside him, "Of course I know that after I get married, I can't help myself. happy."

Seeing that Qin Jing seemed to be affected by alcohol, Su Zijin was a little sentimental, and quickly waved his hands, "That's not what I meant."

Qin Jing nodded, "I know. But don't worry, in the future, even if we get married, you're still you, you can do whatever you want, even if you lift the table, I'll take care of it for you."

Su Zijin didn't know whether Qin Jing was drunk or something, how did he come here, so he turned the topic to the real thing, only to see her speak bluntly, "What did Mr. Chen Ge say about the salt tax?"

Qin Jing was used to Su Zijin's incomprehensible look for a long time, but he still couldn't help it. He pinched the back of Su Zijin's neck, and seeing her shrinking her neck, he said, "Old Chen Ge guessed the purpose of our trip. The purpose is to take the initiative to speak up, saying that the salt merchants have approached him to express their opinions, and in the past few years, they will try to hand over [-]% as much as possible to fill the national treasury."

Su Zijin curled his lips, "Mr. Chen Ge is obviously targeting the salt merchants, otherwise he should talk to you first, and then talk about the salt merchants. [-]%? Listen to a lot, just look at their fine control over Xuzhou. , for them, [-]% is just raising their hands."

Qin Jing didn't know where he was thinking, so he nodded, "It's not a good time to go to war right now, it's [-]% for [-]%, wait..."

Further down, Qin Jing didn't say much, but Su Zijin vaguely knew.

She was Su Wu's only daughter, and Su Wu felt at ease with Su Zijin, so she didn't hide some things from her.And along the way, Qin Jing also said something intentionally or unintentionally, making Su Zijin guess why His Majesty was surprised by the fatness of the private treasury?Are you really blind to money?And why clear the account of the farmland and lightly check the salt tax?In fact, it's all about money.On the other hand, money is military resources and food.

There are many, Qin Jing didn't say any more, but looked at Su Zijin who was on the side, "I want to follow my father, the emperor's imperial driver, so, after I go back this time, I'm afraid my mother will bring up our marriage."

There are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is having no descendants.Although Qin Jing was crowned, he didn't get married. He, like him, was not allowed to enter the forward battalion in the army. Therefore, after returning to Beijing this time, it was foreseeable that as Qin Jing's biological mother, the queen would naturally plan carefully for her son.

When he came out this time, he not only paralyzed the other party, but also filled the treasury by the way, and brought Su Zijin out to relax, because after this time, Su Zijin wanted to go out, and as a married woman, I'm afraid it would not be too easy.

After Su Zijin came out, he saw Qin Jing's abnormal performance of listening more and watching more but seldom acting, and combined with the few words he heard in his father's study, he guessed it.Therefore, Cheng Mingliang and Guo Yixing were confused and guessed blindly, and Su Zijin felt happy.

When Qin Jing heard the words, Su Zijin was not surprised. She knew that with her intelligence, she might have already guessed.

Su Zijin thought for a while, then looked at Qin Jing, "That's fine."

Qin Jing's eyes widened in an instant, "What do you mean by "Alright"? Yes, yes! I will write to the queen mother and ask her to arrange it as soon as possible. Maybe, the father and the mother will come to Xuzhou in person and we will get married here !"

The target of His Majesty's military deployment this time is Jiaozhi. He, Qin Jing, went to Jiangnan like this, in Xuzhou Hailing, and arrived at Jiaozhi. It only took a day and a night. If anyone knows, then he knows that Qin Jing's trip is a real striker.

If they use their marriage as a numbness and let His Majesty bring all the civil and military officials over, it is impossible to say, it is really possible.

Su Zijin didn't know why, but she suddenly looked forward to it, "Go and write a letter, and see how Your Majesty and Queen will reply."

When Qin Jing heard this, he took a deep look at Su Zijin, "Do you know that the words of a gentleman take root?"

Su Zijin nodded, "Naturally."

Although it looked like it didn't matter, Su Zijin's hands and feet were already numb.This is a major event in life, and now, it is not an era where you can get away at will, a promise is a lifetime, Su Zijin is naturally nervous.But she strengthened her mind with just one sentence, who else but Qin Jing?
