home in the end

Chapter 200
"Don't worry, even if I don't mention this matter, the Patriarch won't just let it go!"

When a child of the Jiang family grows up to a certain age, the family will give him a sum of money to go out and make money. Whether he earns or loses depends entirely on his own ability, and the head of the family is selected from among the best people, and the current head of the family is also It is through fighting to get this position, and the decisiveness of killing is beyond human ability. Mr. Jiang does not have the Jiang family in his heart, even if he is cultivated, it will be harmful and not beneficial to the Jiang family. It is better to give up as soon as possible!
"It's just that that kid offended a lot of people today. If others don't say anything, Mr. Xiao Liang is in it. Although we have talked with the Hou and Li families now, there are still many opportunities for him to talk in the future!" Jiang Liu The master said in distress.

"Prepare a gift, and you personally send it to make an apology. Although I have only met him twice, that person is not narrow-minded. I think he won't blame us too much."

Master Jiang Liu nodded, "Last time we sent mostly antiques, but this time it's inconvenient. I heard that he loves his sister very much. The East has just sent a batch of oriental pearls. Why don't you choose some big ones and send them?"

The second master Jiang naturally had no objection, and the sixth master Jiang went to Liang's house with his things in person the next day. Although Liang Yilin was also angry, he also knew that he couldn't knock down a boatload of people with one blow, so he accepted the things from Jiang's house.

Liang Yilin found two smaller boxes and divided the twelve East Pearls into two. Just as the corners of his mouth were raised, Liang Yimei rushed in, and A Tao followed behind like a calf.

Liang Yilin's face was slightly red, and he quickly put a box into his sleeve with his hand, and slipped his hand over the box under the sleeve, his face changed slightly, and only then did he realize what he had done.

Liang Yimei looked at the second brother curiously, then touched his forehead, "Second brother, are you sick?"

Liang Yilin laughed awkwardly, "It's nothing, maybe I drank too much wine yesterday and didn't have a good rest last night, why did my sister come here so early, I was thinking of picking you up in person later."

"It's not very far away. Lord Hou happened to be going out too, so he sent me here."

Liang Yilin looked outside the door, "Where's that person?"

The corners of Liang Yimei's mouth twitched, "I was dragged away by Li Xuanran as soon as I arrived at the door. I heard that Prince Zhao's son caused trouble, and they are rushing to Prince Zhao's mansion to plead for mercy."

"I've heard it too. It seems that the son of King Zhao had a fight with someone yesterday, and it was quite a big fight." Liang Yilin didn't say much, picked up another box on the table and said, "You came just in time, this box You take it."

Liang Yimei opened it and frowned slightly, "Is the Jiang family here again?" Liang Yimei looked at the second brother with some concern, "The second brother has gotten very close to the Jiang family recently."

Liang Yilin said indifferently: "It's just that I have met and eaten a few times, but if the head of the Jiang family is like the second master Jiang and the sixth master Jiang, then they can be friends." Liang Yilin leaned forward slightly , thought about it: "Didn't my sister tell me to pay attention to the ban on opening the sea last time? I talked to Brother Xu, and he said that it would be fine to go to sea once or twice with his ability alone, but it would be bankrupt if he did so. The risk is too great, and the Xu family is far away from the sea, so there is no available boat, but the Jiang family is deeply rooted in Fujian, and it is nothing for them to go to sea once. Instead of thinking about doing it by yourself, it is better to take a boat with the Jiang family. What a guy!"

Liang Yimei's eyes lit up, "So, the sea ban is settled?"

Liang Yilin nodded with a smile, "In February, the commander of the Fujian capital went to Beijing to meet him. In March, the officials sent out from the capital are still staying in Fujian. I heard that His Royal Highness has personally met with representatives of several merchants. , The sea ban is only a matter of these few months. It’s just that the war in the north is still stalemate, and the treasury may not be able to pay for it.”

Liang Yilin recalled what Mr. Jiang said yesterday. Although he was suspected of being a sensationalist, it was undeniable that what he said was true. The money needed to open the sea ban would probably fall on the common people again.

"For the sake of the war in the north, the taxes in the south of the capital have been increased by [-] percent," Liang Yilin said with a feeling of depression, "how many of them actually fall into the hands of the soldiers in the north? Now, the sea ban will be increased again. Taxes have been paid." He worked in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he felt more deeply about these things, not to mention that he had suffered a lot back then.

Liang Yimei frowned slightly, "Why do you want to take money from the common people? Whoever wants to open the sea ban the most can just take it from him."

Can you still ask the emperor and prince for money?Liang Yilin glanced at his sister in disapproval, his eyes fell on the box on the table, and he couldn't help thinking, he glanced at his sister in surprise.

Liang Yimei raised her eyebrows, "Everyone who goes to sea wants to get rich, let's count who has the idea of ​​going to sea first, and let them pay for it."

"It's not good to rely on them for so much money..." Liang Yilin hesitated.

A cunning flashed in Liang Yimei's eyes, "Then borrow it first, let the emperor stamp the IOU, and then give them a fairer interest rate. In the future, all goods that go out to sea and goods that come in will have to pay taxes, and one day they will be paid back. It’s clear... the current tax is already heavy enough, if the tax is increased, I’m afraid there will be chaos in the world, but fortunately, the weather has been good for the past two years... and you can sell officials... In short, there are many ways to get money."

"No way," Liang Yilin said with a slightly cold face, "This sets a precedent, won't all the people in the court buy officials with money in the future?"

"It's just a vain job," Liang Yimei explained: "And you can write an official document to list the official positions you want to sell, how many years you have been in office, and every time you sell an official, it will be announced by the imperial court, and the sale will be unified. Without the imperial decree, it will not work. , if you are afraid that the people below will be greedy, you can sell it in an auction in the capital, and the one with the highest price will win!"

Liang Yilin stared dumbfounded at his younger sister who became more and more excited as she talked.

Liang Yimei's eyes sparkled, "Anyway, they are very rich, and they have always wanted to be officials. They each have what they need, so why not do it? You can also ask them to donate money. Well, it's best to bring in the officials in the court. Ten officials and nine corrupt, they must have a lot of money." Liang Yimei squinted at the second brother, the second brother is the best example, not to mention other gifts, how much did the Shan Jiang family take?This is the gift that the second brother only does what he can do without harming the interests of the common people. Some officials don't have the good character of the second brother!
Looking at her younger sister's eyes, Liang Yilin knew what she was thinking. He knocked her on the head and said, "What are you thinking about? If it weren't for my brother-in-law's identity, how much money do you think I would have?"

This sentence is true, Feng Jianjie and Chen Liyan's family background is good, and their positions are also good, but if they only rely on their own salary and the small things they do for others to earn extra money, it is true that there is not much money. It took only two or three trips to eat, which was one of the reasons why Mrs. Shen would come out to help the Liang family whenever they had anything to do.

Mrs. Chen had been with the Liang family brothers and sisters when she was in Quanzhou, and her husband always spoke highly of them. At that time, the Liang family brothers and sisters were still young, so Mrs. Chen always regarded them as younger brothers and sisters, unconsciously. Played the role of sister-in-law, and the Dong family has been in contact with Liang Yimei for a long time. After Zheng Jue and Shang Zhiqing left, Xu Runxin often mingled with the two brothers and sisters. Shen's ability to put the Liang family in front after an accident is largely due to Because her husband valued the Liang family, the rest was due to the huge profits brought by the Liang family.

After the joint venture between several companies, not only the food and clothing expenses of the family are more generous, but also Shang Zhiqing will no longer rely on the big house as before in the officialdom.

While the two were talking, a little maid reported outside: "...Miss Mu came to see Miss."

Liang Yimei was a little surprised, they just met yesterday, although there is a custom for married daughters to return to their parents' home during the Dragon Boat Festival, but if she doesn't say anything, no one is sure when she will come back?How did Sister Mu know that she was coming back today?
She turned to look at Liang Yilin, only to find that Liang Yilin lowered his head, his face was reddish, and there was a strange feeling in his heart.

Liang Yilin got up in a "huh" and seeing his sister staring at him strangely, he clenched his fists and coughed, and said, "Fifth Grandpa and Fifth Grandma are in the vegetable garden, they may not know you're back, I'll go and tell them, We had a good dinner tonight…”

Seeing his younger sister staring at him even more strangely, her voice slowly lowered, and finally she said, "Go and entertain the guests" and fled in despair.

Just tell Fifth Grandpa and Fifth Grandma to send a girl to go, there is no need to go in person, right?And...Liang Yimei took a look at the sky outside, she hasn't had lunch yet, why is she already having dinner?
Mu Yingrong soon came in behind the little maid, Liang Yimei got up to meet her, Mu Yingrong hurried forward and said: "Sit down quickly, you still have a big belly."

Liang Yimei smiled, and still sat down at the table, Mu Yingrong took a box from the maid who was close to her, "It was originally intended to be sent to the Hou's Mansion for you, but I just heard that you have returned to your mother's house today, so I turned around sent it over."

Liang Yimei took it curiously, her hand sank, and her heart was even more curious. When she opened it, she found it was a whole set of jewelry, "This... this is too expensive!" Why did you give such a heavy gift for no reason?

Mu Yingrong smiled, "No matter how heavy it is, it can't compare to the six orbs that my sister gave me last time! When I opened it, I was shocked, but my sister gave me such a heavy pearl just to recognize a godmother." Since then, my mother has been thinking about what to give you in return, last time when we went to make jewelry, my mother saw this set of jewelry and thought it matched you very well, so she bought it."

Liang Yimei's face suddenly turned weird, she looked up at Mu Yingrong, and was relieved to see that she still didn't find anything as usual.

As soon as Mu Yingrong left, Liang Yimei called A Ping and asked straightforwardly, "When did the family give gifts to General Dingyuan's mansion?"

Ah Ping felt strange, but still replied: "It was in March, when Miss Mu recognized General Fengguo's wife as a god-in-law, and the young master said that the young lady chose a gift for the servants to deliver."

Liang Yimei looked at the box on the table and suddenly understood that she was still detained in the Hou's mansion in March and was not allowed to go out. She didn't even know any news from outside, so how could she know about Mu Yingrong's confession?
Thinking of Liang Yilin and Mu Yingrong, Liang Yimei's face became weird. A Tao, who happened to be bringing almond tea in, saw her and stopped. Madam has nothing to do, every time she looks at Madam helplessly and dotingly, she shudders, quickly put aside her thoughts, and serve Liang Yimei tea carefully.
