Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Tian Qing: "Your Highness, how dare you be a villain?"

Taikang: "If you really have the means, you can stand up naturally. Sit down!"

After Erbing put down the tea and stepped back, there was no one else in the room.

Taikang took a sip from his teacup: "After all, it's uncle's property, so it's not appropriate for our hall to intervene rashly, right?"

Even though she said that, her agitated expression still fell into Tian Qing's eyes exactly.

Tian Qing only sat down half of his buttocks, straightened his body when he heard the words, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, Lord Hou's temper is very clear, but he looks impulsive and irritable on the surface, but he is very good to people. In the past He often mentions in front of the villain how His Highness and Wansui played in his house when they were young, isn't His Highness going to get married soon, and Lord Hou also said that he didn't know what gifts to give."

Taikang nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, just ask uncle to give me the shares of Yang Jianzhong. However, there is a problem here, after all, salt merchants are all in The Salt Department and the Ministry of Households have their names. After the palace returns to Beijing, it is impossible to personally manage the business. If the court ministers know that the palace has become a salt merchant, they don’t know what will happen. People from our Tian family, But you can’t do business.”

Tian Qing was even more careful: "When Yang Jianzhong came to talk to me at the inn last night, he sued His Highness and asked the villain to back him up and clean up Mr. Su Ziqiao and His Highness. Only then did the villain know that Cangzhou Development Bank It was done by His Highness and Mr. Su."

"Damn this Yang Jianzhong." Princess Taikang put the teacup on the table angrily, her face darkened.

Tian Qing echoed: "Yes, as the saying goes, if you don't do it, you won't die. It should be that the surname Yang has no winks, and dares to offend Mr. Su and His Highness."

He sneered in his heart: "Yang Jianzhong, do you fucking know who Su Mu and Taikang are? One is the number one think tank of the emperor Long Qianshi, the other is the emperor's imperial sister; one is the emperor's most trusted thigh, and the other is the emperor. The queen mother's favorite daughter. If you offend Su Mu and Taikang, you have offended the emperor and the queen mother, the two most powerful people in the world, and you don't know when your death is imminent."

Tian Qing continued: "Similarly, in fact, His Highness can find someone he trusts to come out with the name of Yang Jianzhong!"

Taikang said thoughtfully: "This statement is reasonable. This hall wants this salt house as a dowry. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing for Shou Ning Hou to give it to his uncle? Besides, this hall does not move uncle's shares, and the share he deserves is still a penny. Quite a lot. Instead of taking advantage of an outsider like Yang Jianzhong, it’s better to give it to this hall. When I return to Beijing, I will tell my uncle to tell that Yang Jianzhong to get out!"

Seeing that Princess Taikang agreed, Tian Qing decided to add fire to kill Yang Jianzhong completely.

Otherwise, if you don't die by beating a snake, maybe this Yang will turn around again in the future, and maybe he will bite himself back.

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy to tell Yang Jianzhong to leave."

Taikang was displeased: "What?"

Tian Qing: "Your Highness, isn't Yang Jianzhong's sister the concubine of Lord Hou? There is nothing to be favored by, but..."

"There's nothing wrong with it." Taikang snorted coldly: "A concubine who is barren and unfavorable is no different than a plaything. Butler Tian, ​​are you worried that she will be unfavorable to you at that time?"

Seeing Princess Taikang see through his thoughts, Tian Qing choked up: "This..."

Taikang said lightly: "Tian Qing, don't worry, since you serve the hall, you will definitely not leave any trouble for you. After the hall returns to Beijing, I will go to Shou Ninghou and tell him that there is a man named Yang in his place." The little concubine is diligent. There is a lack of a rough envoy in the concubine's mansion, so if I ask him for it, my uncle will definitely agree."

In ancient times, concubines, especially concubines who were not born, had no status at all.For wealthy and powerful families, it is just an object, which can even be used as a gift or reward to subordinates when they are happy.

This was also Su Mu's trouble a while ago. For him, Miss Hu and Miss Wu both had deep affection for him.But there can only be one regular wife, otherwise it would be a serious crime of bigamy.To make anyone a concubine is an insult to him.In addition, it was the national mourning period, so Su Mu's marriage was delayed.Moreover, depending on the situation, there is no possibility of a solution in the short term.

However, the harsh law of concubine system gave Princess Taikang a chance to clean up Yang Jianzhong.

Hearing Princess Taikang's arrangement, Tian Qing heaved a sigh of relief. This way, the possibility of Yang Jianzhong's comeback was also eliminated.Otherwise, maybe Yang Jianzhong's sister gave birth to a young Lord Hou one day, and Zhang Hou was so happy that he used him again!

However, Tian Qing still felt a little dissatisfied with just depriving Yang Jianzhong of his salt merchant qualifications.

Sighed: "This Yang Jianzhong dog is blind, and he even provoked His Highness and Mr. Su. This time he was rectified, and of course people are very happy. It's a pity that the surname Yang has been a salt merchant for so many years, and he has accumulated a lot of money. Even if you don't do anything, you can live like a rich prince for eight lifetimes, isn't God blind?"

Taikang's heart moved, and he asked, "How much property does Yang Jianzhong have?"

Tian Qing asked in a low voice: "Your Highness means..."

Taikang: "You answer the question of the hall first, I need information." Unknowingly, she has learned Su Mu's mantra.

Tian Qing: "Yang Jianzhong has been in this industry for 11 years since he got the license of a salt merchant. Calculated with an annual income of 50 taels. After deducting the 20% that Lord Hou took, he still has 200 taels left." From this point of view, there are at least [-] million Yang family business names."

This calculation scared even Tian Qing himself: the salt merchant is really rich, Yang Jianzhong has accumulated such a large family business after working for 11 years, and those whose ancestors have made this business for generations, do not know how rich they are ?

Taikang: "My hall will ask you again, who else will come to Cangzhou with your uncle Tian Shilang this time?"

Tian Qing: "If you go back to Your Highness, besides Tian Shilang, there is also a middle official and two hundreds of military officers from Jinyiwei Beiya."

"Who is the middle officer...?"

Tian Qing: "Inner Palace Supervisor Liu Ying, Eunuch Liu."

Taikang murmured: "This man is well known in the palace. He is an old man. He was always in front of the empress dowager when the late emperor was around. No wonder he was sent here this time to give the marriage. Tian Qing, go and announce him, just say that the palace asked him to go." Make a case."

The so-called inner palace inspectors are in charge of wood, stone, tile, soil, building materials, eastward, westward, paint, wedding, gunpowder ten works, as well as rice and salt warehouses, construction warehouses, and imperial altar warehouses. Every country builds palaces, mausoleums, and Copper and tin make-up dowry, utensil use and ice storage. "From this point of view, the internal official prison is equivalent to the Ministry of Industry in the outer court.

The reason why Liu Ying came to Cangzhou this time was not only to gain the trust of the queen mother, but also to buy the utensils needed for the wedding of the emperor and Princess Taikang.

Tian Qing's heart moved: "What does Your Highness mean?"

Taikang snorted: "Tian Qing, why do you ask so many people, you go and announce the person to the main hall, and you will know when the time comes. Don't worry, you must be a part of Yang Jianzhong's family property."

Tian Qing: "How dare a villain, just go and announce that Eunuch Liu will come and see you."

Taikang: "Remember, don't let other people know that the main hall is in Cangzhou."

"Yes."

After a long time, Tian Qing and Liu Ying came over.

After confirming that it was Princess Taikang in front of him, Eunuch Liu knelt on the ground in tears and kowtowed: "Your Highness, Your Highness, you are actually in Cangzhou. Since you went out for a tour of the palace, the Queen Mother has been crying all day long. We slaves also cried a lot. Now, after knowing your news, I don’t know how happy the Queen Mother will be.”

Taikang: "Eunuch Liu, get up, get more people, don't cry, let me tell you the truth, our palace has already written to the queen mother and the emperor, saying that this time I will go back to the capital with you."

Only then did Liu Ying stop her mournful voice, and asked, "I just heard from Tian Qing that His Highness is going to handle a case?"

Taikang: "Yes, I want to ask if there is anyone who can use it?"

Liu Ying: "My servant came to Cangzhou this time, and I brought two sons from the East Factory with me. There are a few people from Jinyiwei who can handle the case and enforce the law. I would like to ask, who does Your Highness want to deal with?"

"Okay!" Taikang was very excited. She stayed in Cangzhou for more than half a year and had a great time. But because she didn't have a royal status, she couldn't indulge in some things. Can't control so much: "So that Eunuch Liu knows that this palace has been bullied, and this scene must be brought back."

Liu Ying was shocked, and the voice of the male duck was so angry: "Who is so bold to bully His Highness, isn't he afraid of ransacking his family and destroying his family?"

"A salt merchant named Yang Jianzhong." Princess Taikang said: "Eunuch Liu, His Majesty's wedding must cost a lot of money to prepare for the ceremony. Yes, it can solve the urgent need of Long Live."

Liu Ying was very pleasantly surprised: ransacking the house, this is a great thing!Especially this kind of rich and powerful family, after copying the inspection, they can stretch out their hands at will, and they will have a lot of income.If this matter were placed in the capital, it would be no wonder that the internal officials would fight to the death for this errand.What's more, it is an open secret in the Forbidden City that Long Live Lord is in such a dire situation that he can't even get the money for his wedding.From this point of view, even if this salt merchant surnamed Yang is not guilty, our family has to give him a rule.

Liu Ying: "Your Highness, don't worry, as long as you give orders, this servant will ask someone to take Na Yang Jianzhong."

Taikang nodded: "In this way, after the Yang family is copied, the main hall and Long live each get 100 million, and the rest. You, Tian Qing, and the people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei should share it equally!"

Tian Qing and Liu Ying glanced at each other, and both saw surprises in each other's eyes.

Liu Ying: "However, Your Highness, this crime has to be carefully considered."

Tian Qing also interjected: "Yes, you have to be famous as a teacher, otherwise you won't be able to convince the public and hurt the dignity of the royal family."
