After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 975 Autumn 8

In the teahouses and restaurants on the streets of Kyoto, whether ordinary people or businessmen and students, the topic of conversation would fall on the regent.

Most of the words are filled with joy, but some people are still a little worried.

Although the national policy of revitalizing industry and commerce proposed by the Prince Regent when he left Kyoto two years ago has now seen some results, the results are at least very good for now.

He broke down the barriers that had existed for thousands of years, freeing the merchants of the entire country from their shackles, and truly had the freedom to let birds fly in the sky and fish to jump in the sea.

But at the same time, it is also accompanied by some problems——

"This is a situation where the big fish eats the small fish!"

Literary world.

Moxiang Pavilion.

Cui Yu from the Cui family in Qinghe looked at the thick fog gradually dissipating outside the pavilion, and said worriedly:

"For our family, this is a great thing..."

"I, Mr. Cui, left Qinghe County last year and extended my family's business to Jiangnan Road in just one year."

"When I set off to Kyoto to take the exam, I heard my father say that with this momentum, Cui's profits will at least double this year!"

After a pause, Cui Yu looked at the three brothers of the Taiyuan Wang family who were sitting around, "I guess the same is true for you Wang family!"

The boss Wang Yichun nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Isn't this a good thing? Why is Brother Cui looking so sad?"

Cui Yu sighed:

"Brother Wang, don't forget the lessons learned from past mistakes!"

"Think about how many capable people your Taiyuan Wang family and Qinghe Cui family have produced in the past three hundred years?"

"Just talking about Kyoto, how many senior officials in the palace are disciples of our family?"

"I heard my grandpa once say that when our three great families in Ningguo were at their most glorious, officials from the DPRK and the Central Government accounted for a full 60% of the family!"

"Even the position of prime minister is basically occupied by three major aristocratic families."

"But what happened next?"

"After Emperor Jinghua came to the throne, in just half a year, the officials of our three great families in the court had their homes confiscated, their heads beheaded, and they were exiled..."

"If it hadn't been for the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions defeating Ning... our three great families would have been uprooted by Emperor Jinghua and would have ceased to exist!"

"Therefore, from then on, my ancestors of the Cui family established new rules."

"Disciples in the clan must study, but they are never allowed to take scientific examinations. They can only do business."

"Since then, you, me and the Chen family of Yingzhou have never had any children enter the court as officials."

"Now the regent has abolished the recommendation and is promoting fair scientific examination... Grandpa may have seen something different about the regent, so he ordered me to come to Kyoto."

"There are thousands of disciples in Cui's Academy, but I was the only one who sent me here... I'm afraid it's to explore the way, and secondly, I don't want more disciples to become officials."

"Maybe you do too."

"But now I have another level of worry."

Wang Yiqiu, the second oldest member of the Wang family who was sitting opposite Cui Yu, suddenly frowned:

"Brother Cui means...this business is so easy to do, and making so much money is a bit scary?"

Cui Yu nodded:

"After all, the extra money we earned originally belonged to other businessmen!"

"We used a lot of money to acquire other merchants' workshops, and used lower prices to occupy other people's markets..."

"There will definitely be many small businessmen and workshops that will close down or even lose their families because of this!"

"Although this is the so-called fair competition issued by the court, in fact we all know that this is not fair at all!"

"That creates a problem."

"When we really accumulate huge wealth..."

Wang Yidong, the third oldest member of the Wang family, who was sitting on Cui Yu's left hand, was suddenly startled. He leaned over and whispered:

"Could it be that the regent is... raising fish?"

Cui Yu muttered for a few breaths, his tone extremely low:

"Emperor Jinghua used to be able to kill half of the ministers in the palace, but now the regent is short of money. He wants to take 80% of your family... or not?"

Boss Wang Yichun suddenly frowned, "It seems like this is the same situation where a big tree attracts the wind!"

"I have to send a letter home."

"Don't take too big steps...otherwise, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles!"

Cui Yu raised his head and looked outside the pavilion.

It's past noon.

This thick fog has thinned. There is sunlight coming through the fog, and it is not dazzling. The light becomes brighter, and the world seems wider.

"I heard that Mr. Chen Dingmao and Mr. Chen of the Chen family in Yingzhou are on their way to Kyoto. Mr. Chen had contact with the regent in Linshui City. It seems that he is here for water transportation."

"Coming with Mr. Chen is Mr. Su from the Su family in Jiangnan..."

"When they arrive in Kyoto, I will wait for the juniors to visit again and listen to their opinions before making a decision."

"……it is good!"

Cui Yu took a deep breath and put the matter aside for the time being, with a smile on his face:

"By the way, Young Master Zhuang Dingchunzhuang invited me to listen to music at Yihong Mansion tonight... My opinion is to go!"

"Don't underestimate Mr. Zhuang!"

"There are two reasons!"

"It is now a fact that our country of Ning is doing business with the country of Wu, so in the future, our family's business will most likely enter the country of Wu."

"Although the Zhuang family of Wu State is not one of the five most famous families, the Zhuang family has some background."

"I may need this young master to be a guide in the future. After all, we are not very familiar with the Kingdom of Wu."

"That's the second thing..."

"This Mr. Zhuang is as good a business genius as I have ever seen!"

"Don't look at him as a playboy. Just because he can enter the cabinet and be interviewed by Chief Minister Wen, and just because he can get into a heated relationship with Mr. Xiang Qingyun so quickly... You must not underestimate this kid! "

The three Wang brothers thought about it carefully and nodded sincerely.

Wang Yichun suddenly asked:

"After the regent returns to Kyoto, we are afraid that he will have to fill the vacancy and take office. Brother Cui, what are you going to do about my fourth sister..."

Cui Yu's face suddenly tightened, and he suddenly stood up, "Ah, I suddenly remembered that I had an appointment with Mr. Mei Fangxi of Taiyuan College,"

He bowed his hands and said, "Brothers, I'll take my leave now. See you in the evening!"

Cui Yu ran away.

Wang Yiqiu curled his lips, "This boy... he has never seen the fourth sister before and he is as scared as a tiger!"

Wang Yidong sighed: "Second brother, fourth sister is more fierce than a tiger!"

"But back then, it was a finger-tip wedding, and the marriage certificate was personally signed by the heads of the two families. Can he still resist?"

"...Poor, Fourth Sister is almost in Kyoto, where else can he run?"

……

The sunset is like blood.

So the whole mountain became red.

On the official road leading to Jade Capital in Kyoto, a girl came leisurely on horseback.

She was wearing a bright red dress.

Wearing a huge hat on his head!

A broad sword was slung at his waist.

Riding a maroon horse.

Dressed in a brilliant sunset.

She looked up and looked forward, with a smile on her slightly dark face:

"Hehe, Kyoto...I'm coming!"

Then, the smile on her face suddenly faded: "Cui Yu!"
