Chapter nine hundred and sixty fifth difference
Xu Ying and Xu Fan are different. Although the latter was beaten several times and had a bruised face, they have become "sensible" in the past two years. They know not to provoke Suiyuan, and they also know that they are not like Yan Donglou, and they also know that Xu Jie is not in good condition in the court now.
As for Xu Ying, when Xu Jie and Yan Song fought fiercely for more than ten years, he was just a child. When he was a little older, he could leave the mansion. Xu Jie had already become the chief minister of the cabinet, and was more than ten thousand people... In the past two years, he suffered losses in Suiyuan's hands, and he had long been so angry that he had broken up with Xu Fan more than once or twice.
Ouyang Yijing smoothed out the situation and said, "The second young master misunderstood. The so-called news is the censor of the Censorate, who is in charge of the six departments..."
"Did you hear it?" Xu Fan sneered, "Pretend to understand if you don't understand, read more books if you don't understand, and go to the brothel with a good manner. Do you understand what lyrics your sister sing?"
Xu Ying was about to pounce on her and take a bite. Some time ago, Xu Ying was playing in a brothel and had a conflict with someone. She was slapped several big slaps on the face... Although there was no evidence, both brothers guessed that it was Suiyuan's instructions.
"You know, why are you bullied by your son-in-law crying loudly on the street!"
Xu Fan was also angry and cursed: "I still have come and go. No one like you... needs to do anything. With a light word, my father will whip you with a whip!"
Well, before Qian Yuan traveled through time, he did suffer a loss at Xu Fan, and Xu Ying...
Lin Run, Wei Shiliang, Zou Yinglong and others were either covering their faces with their hands or turning their heads to look at each other. It was really new. Other brothers were united, and it was for nothing that Yuan Fu's family had a disaster, and it was openly touching each other's hearts.
At this time, a loud shout rang at the door.
"Stop it all!"
The short Xu Jie had a blue face. Seeing this scene, even though he could tolerate it, he couldn't help but feel angry. He really didn't give himself a face!
Lin Run and his group stood up to salute and left the side hall silently. It would be better not to get involved in such housework.
"It's so embarrassing!"
Behind Xu Jie, the Minister of Justice Feng Tianyu, and the Minister of Rites Li Chunfang, coughed twice and retreated, only Xu She stayed in the hall.
Xu Jie suppressed his anger and asked Xu Fan to say all the previous debates. After pondering for a moment, he waved his sleeves and said, "I haven't entered school yet, and I'm still going to the brothel to play. I have no moral integrity. I have lost all the face of Xu in Huating and go back to Huating. I will not be allowed to return to Beijing if I don't want to be a child!"
Xu Ying, who was kneeling on the ground, collapsed on the ground. He was born in the capital and grew up in the capital. He has never left the capital until now and was driven back to his hometown to study... This is because he was exiled.
Xu Fan laughed in his heart with gloating pleasure, but Xu Jie turned around and continued, "As the elder brother, his words are sarcastic. Brothers read the wall, come and take someone out and whip twenty whips!"
Although Xu Ying on the ground was sad, she couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth.
Seeing all this, Xu She couldn't help but think of a saying circulating in the crowd two years ago that the Xu family had no talent or any evil... they were not as good as Yan Donglou.
After the housework was handled, many people outside entered one after another. Today, Xu Jie's disciples gathered mainly for Zhejiang affairs.
After all, no one will blame the sharp reduction in tax and silver, but whether the tax and silver can be restored in the future... Xu Jie must have blamed it.
Hou Ruliang, Wang Bengu, and Hu Yingjia were all those who were put into Zhejiang in the past two years. It’s okay to say that the governor of Zhejiang is, and it’s okay to say that the governor of Zhejiang is, but the prefect of Ningbo is the leader who is directly in charge of business affairs.
"No need to worry, Xiao Guicao will follow." Xu Jie didn't say much, but only mentioned that Hu Yingjia, who was still on the canal, had already sent a letter.
Feng Tianyu smiled and said, "It may not be that bad. I heard that the huge waves on the sea overturned hundreds of sea ships last year, and a large number of sea merchants hesitated and dared not go out to sea, which led to a sharp reduction in taxes and silver."
"Su Song has heard a lot about this." Xu She nodded and glanced at Xu Jie and added: "But there are also large households smuggling in the southeast."
"You can't have ships that used to pay the tax and silver honestly. Now they are mostly smuggling, right?" Zou Yinglong said in confusion: "If that happens, Ke Rou really has no good idea."
"Impossible." Xu She shook her head, "It's just a slight impact. If you go south, you don't need to have a surge in taxes and silver. You just need to have a little more than now to explain it."
Officials of this era have natural contempt for business, and have no systematic understanding of the supply and demand relationship between goods and prices, so it is difficult to understand the impact of the amount of goods on taxes and silver.
In fact, Qian Yuan also came to the conclusion last year by collecting a large amount of information and carefully analyzing and thinking hard.
After several censors of the Kedao left, Xu Jie rubbed his eyebrows and said tiredly: "It makes you laugh."
"What is Yuan Fu saying?" Li Chunfang suddenly spoke, "But the second young master's words... may not be groundless."
"Qian Zhancai embezzled taxes and silver?" Feng Tianyu frowned and asked, "Do he have the courage?"
Xu Jie turned to look at Xu She, "How do you think third brother?"
"Southeast smuggling has been a long time. Four years ago, the city was set up to trade and the sea trade was booming..." Xu She hesitated: "It would be unconvincing to say that Suiyuan did not make profits in it."
Feng Tianyu couldn't help but whisper: "Qian Zhan had just returned to Beijing back then and had promised in front of the late emperor that Suiyuan had not made any profit from business operations. If he had corruption, the Jinyiwei would not be unaware of it..."
"But the sharp reduction in taxes and silver began in September last year, and the late emperor passed away in mid-April." Li Chunfang smiled and said, "A thousand miles away is just for wealth. Suiyuan has always had strong financial resources. Where did so much money come from?"
Xu She added: "And it is reported that the Chen family in Yuyao, the Zhou family in Qiantang, the Tao family in Kuaiji, and the Shanyin families all formed fleets to sell goods in the sea..."
Li Chunfang added another sentence, "If there is a hindrance in Southeast trading, why is the tax and silver sharply reduced, but the transport warehouse in the interior has increased instead of reducing it?"
"Yuan Fu, should I ask Kerou to pay attention and check it out?"
Xu Jie pondered for a long time, and he also tended to benefit Suiyuan in business, and whispered: "Go and send a letter and ask Kerou to check it, but there is no need to force it."
This is the difference between Qian Yuan and them. His ultimate goal is not to trade, but to open a maritime ban. For this purpose, he would rather pay privately to temporarily maintain the integrity than to charge a bribe.
Suiyuan is indeed rich in financial resources, but as a time traveler, he went to do business in his previous life. In this life, he was in a high position and it was not difficult to make money.
Every penny is clean, but outsiders don't believe it...
In the minds of these bureaucrats, Qian Yuan controlled the Southeast Business, and in addition to establishing himself in the court, the biggest reason may be to make money from it.
Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng would not think so. Although they had a gap with Qian Yuan, although they had countless dissatisfaction with Sui Yuan, and were even more resentful of Qian Yuan's control of business affairs, they believed that Qian Yuan did not take over power for money.
