home in the end

Chapter 171 Sea Forbidden
Standing in front of Liang Yimei, Ah Xing said in a charming manner: "Although the third master Liang still has the airs of an elder, he doesn't train the second young master like he used to."

The corners of Liang Yimei's mouth turned up slightly, which showed that although Zhongli Liang's family was afraid of them, they were still willing to associate with them!

Now the situation is getting better and better for them.

As soon as Liang Yimei came back to her senses, she heard A Xing say indignantly: "...The young master is really true, he still respects Mr. Liang San as before..."

Liang Yimei said with a straight face: "No nonsense!"

A Xing's heart trembled, and she took a careful look at the young lady, seeing that although she had a stern face, her eyes were still warm, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and responded with a smile.

In the evening, Liang Yilin came to find Liang Yimei, handed her a painting, and said, "I put it away, this is your dowry."

Liang Yimei opened it and took a look. Although she didn't know how to paint, but since the second brother gave it to her, it proved that the painting was not simple. You can also see the obvious mark on the lower right corner, so how can you not understand?She quickly asked, "Where did this come from?"

"Master Liang San sent it as a gift from Zhongli Liang's family. Didn't we also send some things to Zhongli last time?"

Liang Yimei felt relieved, put it away and said, "It seems that Zhongli's matter is settled."

"Not necessarily." Liang Yilin poured himself a cup of tea, motioned A Tao to go out, and said with a smile, "I see something wrong with his expression today. I heard from Brother Zheng that Zhongli Liang's house has been in chaos for more than ten years. , the current patriarch is the elder brother of Mr. Liang San. Although he is the eldest son of the big house, he is mediocre and has no achievements. The position of the patriarch is only due to the talent in business, that's how it is, because the position of the patriarch, the fourth master Liang Si, is not very stable."

"I'm afraid this gift can only represent their eldest family, not the entire Zhongliliang family."

Liang Yimei snorted coldly, "If they want to fight, just let them fight, let's just watch the fun from the sidelines."

Liang Yilin glanced at her, "Aren't you afraid of getting burned?"

"Although Liang Hongji is a bit pedantic, he wants to take advantage of us, but his character is passable and he can let go. He is a good partner. If the fire really comes to us, we will make it bigger. Anyway, we are on the outskirts, as long as they are not afraid of burning their lives, what do we have to be afraid of?"

Liang Yilin rolled his eyes, his younger sister was getting more and more courageous, she used to hide whenever she could, but now she felt like she was in a hurry to find trouble.

There's no conspiracy in this, is there?Liang Yilin looked at her suspiciously.

Liang Yimei just pursed her lips and smiled.

Liang Yilin had no choice but to change the subject, "In a few days it will be the birthday of Zuo Shilang of the household department, and he also posted a post for me. My sister should prepare a gift for me."

Liang Yimei nodded, she had learned all this, she knew when a person with any official position should give a big gift, and then just refer to the gifts sent by the left servant of the household department.

"Second brother, do you have any money?"

"Yes." I'm afraid there is no one richer than him in the whole six departments, even if he doesn't withdraw from the account, he can still take out thousands of taels of silver.

What Liang Yimei didn't expect was that Liang Yilin handed her a box when he came back from the house of Zuo Shilang of the household department, and sent out all the people who waited around him.

As soon as Liang Yimei opened it, she was dumbfounded. There were twelve round and jade-like Dadong beads neatly stacked inside!
Although the Liang family is rich, it is impossible to buy Dongzhu of such a uniform size and good quality even if they follow Xu Runxin's path.

Liang Yimei looked up at him with a "huh".

Liang Yilin was also a little nervous, but he was better than Liang Yimei. He nodded and said, "Someone asked me to do something, and I accepted it. This is my reward!"

Liang Yilin was just a junior seventh-rank official. In the capital, there was always an official who was older than him. What could be asked of him?And gave such a generous gift?
Liang Yimei can be regarded as a good citizen in her past and present lives, and she has never committed corruption or perverted the law!She knew that a tree is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, so she never asked the Liang family brothers to be officials with two sleeves. If they can't make a fortune by being an official, why do everyone still squeeze their heads into the officialdom?

But there is a limit to this permission. It is harmless for everyone to help each other and accept small gifts, but what if they do something outrageous?
Liang Yimei narrowed her eyes slightly. She asked Liang Yilin to be an official. She worked so hard to take the Jinshi exam, but she didn't come here to become a corrupt official!

She put down the box, and asked Liang Yilin solemnly, "Second brother, what do I beg you for?"

Liang Yilin patted his sister's head and said with a smile, "Where do you want to go? My brother will not do anything harmful to the world even if he messes around." He narrowed his eyes slightly, "I heard that His Royal Highness wants to lift the sea ban. The Jiang family in Fujian wants to go my way and have a conversation with the prince... If this is done, a trip to the sea will cost several 10 taels of profit. It's possible to have a million taels... For this matter, they have gone through many people's paths and sent out an unknown amount of money, but none of them succeeded, and all the money sent out was in vain. This time they found If it comes to me, I probably have to go to the doctor in a hurry."

The second brother will never aim at nothing, if it is impossible, he will not take things, "When will the second brother have a relationship with the Prince's Mansion?"

Liang Yilin asked curiously: "Didn't the Prince's Mansion send Wang Fu Cheng to give gifts on the elder brother's birthday last time? Later, when I got closer to him, I was able to say a few words..."

Liang Yimei's eyes lit up, "It means that it is true that the crown prince wants to lift the sea ban?"

Liang Yilin nodded, frowned and said: "I just heard about this matter, and Wang Fucheng mentioned it when he saw that our family has business, but I didn't expect that the Jiang family in Fujian would have known about it."

Liang Yimei murmured, "Why did the prince suddenly think of opening the sea ban?"

This Liang Yilin knew, "The national treasury is too short. Now there is no money in the national treasury. After the sea ban is lifted, there will be money." Documents, naturally know many confidential things.

However, Liang Yimei's expression changed, she got up and walked a few steps: "No, the treasury has long been empty, why did His Highness not open the sea ban sooner or later, why did you think of it at this time?"

Liang Yilin sat up straight, and said solemnly, "You mean the imperial court is in urgent need of money?"

Under what circumstances did the court urgently need money?Naturally, when there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, natural disasters?The weather has been good recently, so how can there be any major natural disasters?That is a man-made disaster!

Liang Yilin was startled, and jumped up from his seat, "The court wants to use troops against the Tatars?"

"No," Liang Yilin immediately vetoed, "Although we expected that the matter of being Mrs. Hou would not end so quickly, there would not be much war. As long as the court is more ruthless and more rewards are given, the Marquis of Changping will be the general. , the war will be quelled in about a year, and then it will be time to recuperate..."

"That only shows that their plans are not small." Liang Yimei interrupted Liang Yilin, her eyes shining like meteors in the sky, "Opening the sea ban is not something that can be done in a day or two, at least it will take three or four years." It is effective... For hundreds of years, the Tatars have been eyeing the northern part of the Central Plains, and the prince is an ambitious man... It seems that His Highness's condition has improved!"

Liang Yilin's brain was running fast, and his reaction was only a little slower than Liang Yimei's, "Although His Highness was in charge of political affairs before, he has never done anything so far..."

Liang Yimei frowned slightly, "If that's the case, it would be wrong to entrust Wangfu Cheng."

"That's right." Liang Yilin also frowned, "Since His Highness has such a long-term view, Wang Fucheng may not be able to talk to him."

The two looked at each other, and one person's name flashed in his heart at the same time. Liang Yilin was relieved when he saw that his sister thought of getting together with him, and said with a smile: "Leave this matter to me, and my sister can embroider the wedding dress at home with peace of mind." , there is still half a month until the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the gifts of each family have to be bought..."

Seeing that he was talking nonsense, Liang Yimei pushed him and said, "I know, I won't ask any more questions, but my brother will help me pay more attention to the sea ban, maybe Brother Xu and I will also have business. "

Seeing that Liang Yimei didn't talk about what happened just now, Liang Yilin naturally agreed, stuffed the box into Liang Yimei's arms and said, "Brother is looking for some rare things for you to make as a dowry, you keep this first."

Liang Yimei accepted it with a smile, all women like pearls, let alone such a beautiful Dongzhu!
Liang Yilin came out of Liang Yimei's yard and called for Uncle Qin. Steward Zhou was sent to the Zhuangzi in Baoding. Now Uncle Qin is in charge of the Fuya Pavilion, and Uncle Qin is training several stewards, so he has free time to deal with the future. hospital affairs.

"...Aren't you getting along well with the chief steward of the Marquis of Changping's mansion? Find a way to pass him the letter. I want to see Marquis Changping."

Uncle Qin was slightly surprised. As far as he knew, Miss had always had a way to get in touch with Marquis Changping, so why did she go the way of Marquis Changping this time?
But he didn't say anything, just complied.

Liang Yilin understood what was on his mind, and went to sleep contentedly,

The queen in the palace can't sleep no matter what, the crown prince just mentioned the sea ban with the emperor, she knew it through the people she stayed with the emperor, her vision is farther than the emperor, so naturally she knows the benefits of the sea ban, and she can After guessing the reason why the prince opened the sea ban, she couldn't sleep because of this!
The courtiers admired the prince mostly because of his talent and heart. Although he usually handles state affairs, the prince is no worse than him after passing by. How much energy to plan these.

But now that he has started to plan these things, it means that his body has improved, it can remind him of these things, and he can handle these things with passion.

The queen was not happy, one of her greatest reliance in the past was his poor health...but now, she knew that she might lose some vacillating courtiers...
