The Royal Horse Superintendent’s Expression of Goodwill

The city tax money that Caochangyuan takes out every year, which can also be said to be the annual silver profit, is 500,000 taels of silver, which is equivalent to the silver tax of half the province.

Many yamen such as the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Wucheng Military and Horse Division distributed 300,000 taels of silver, but only gave Emperor Jiazhen 200,000 taels of silver, and even made Emperor Jiazhen mistakenly think that he had received ten taels of silver. The officials

Six pieces of silver were taken away.

Li Mian didn't want a penny of silver. He not only specified the annual silver profit of Caochangyuan, but also sent all the five hundred thousand taels of silver to the palace.

Compared with the big head taken by the officials, the emperor only took the small head.

Something that made Emperor Jiazhen even more angry.

Emperor Jiazhen thought that the court situation was always under his control. Who would have thought that there were already signs of being out of control.

For Emperor Jiazhen, this was even more unacceptable than the loss of 300,000 taels of silver.

Feng Bao took people to Lu Guangzu's house that night and captured Lu Guangzu. There would be no good end for Lu Guangzu, and he was not allowed to have a good end.

Emperor Jiazhen will risk his life to show the chicken to the monkeys and beat the Yan Party, Donglin Party and other officials. Anyone who bullies the superiors and conceals the truth from the subordinates will only end up being arrested and imprisoned.

.

As long as Sun Chuanting recalled Li Mian's methods carefully, he couldn't help but feel excited. He had never seen such a manipulative method, and he admired him in his heart.

However, Sun Chuanting wanted to see Li Mian's conclusion on this matter, especially how to support Li Dingguo, He Jin, Lao Huihui and others.

Whether it was the Yangjiyuan brothers around Li Dingguo, or the waterworkers recruited by He Jin, or the Zaohu households that Lao Huihui called over to help him, if he wanted to control the entire Caochangyuan, hundreds of people would be needed at least.

Ma Yun has served as the tax supervisor and eunuch of Caochangyuan. With someone on top, he will soon be able to control 10% of the prostitutes and gambling houses in Caochangyuan. By then, there will be hundreds of mouths waiting for food.

Li Mian handed over all the silver profits from Caochangyuan to the palace, and the livelihood of hundreds of people became a problem. It was not just as simple as food and clothing, but they also had to earn enough money.

Otherwise, no one will be willing to work hard and just rely on the word friendship, which will not last long.

Li Mian was about to go to do this, so he waved and arranged for a maid to call Pheasant Nu and Qin Liangyu to go to Caochangyuan together.

Li Mian and Sun Chuanting were chatting under the peony stand, close to the white wall between the vestibule and the atrium, and the embroidery room was near the white wall.

The conversation between the two people was carried word by word to the embroidery room.

Princess Changping rolled up the sleeves of Hongluo's husband, holding a Hu pen, and sat in front of the mahogany desk to deal with the account books.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Princess Changping put down the Hu pen in her hand, placed it on the official kiln pen holder, and pushed open the wicker window pane.

She listened quietly to the conversation between the two people below. When she heard the words about one tael of silver and sixteen cents, her face showed a surprised look at first, and soon she became thoughtful again, silently writing down what the prince-in-law said in her heart.

.

"Squeak——"

Hongqiao changed into a pair of silver and red armor today, and wore a pair of floral satin high-soled shoes on her feet, which made her look a little taller than usual.

She was holding a piece of woven gold satin in her arms and walked into the embroidery room. She first placed the piece of woven gold satin in her hand on the mahogany half-moon table. She glanced at Princess Changping complainingly and hurriedly lit it.

Two white-glazed tall lamps.

Wait until the dim yellow light illuminates the slightly dim second floor of the embroidery room.

Hongqiao picked up the gold satin woven by Zhuanghua, walked over, and brought good news: "Wang Zhen, the great eunuch of the Royal Horse Supervisor, suddenly sent a godson today and sent ten horses to the house.

Flower-woven gold satin. The slave didn’t want to accept it at first, but this dog slave

Since the Empress went to Jinling, she has not missed any old friendship and has never said that she has sent filial piety to the palace. My uncle just sent Lu Guangzu, who offended us, to prison, and the dog slave Wang Zhen sent his godson to send filial piety.

It’s really not a thing.”

Princess Changping watched Li Mian leave the vestibule. When she heard what Hongqiao said, she turned to look at the satin in her hand.

With her indifferent temper towards gold, silver and satin, she didn't take these external things to heart, so she couldn't help but be satisfied with Wang Zhen's generosity.

As one of the Eight Tigers in the palace, Wang Zhen had no need to pay filial piety to a concubine princess in the past. This was also the reason why he didn't pay much attention to the palace in the past.

This time, I don’t know what they were thinking about, so I sent my godson to deliver ten bolts of gold-woven satin. This was Jiangning Weaving’s annual tribute to the palace.

They were not available on the market. Even if Wang Zhen wanted to buy a few horses to give to the palace ladies, he had to go to Wang Zhi, the weaving eunuch of Jiangning who was also one of the Eight Tigers.

Today, I received ten pieces of embroidered gold satin, which is quite a generous gift.

Princess Changping didn't care about the silver price of these silks and satins, but she cared about Wang Zhen's attitude and treated her like a princess.

Princess Changping took the embroidered gold satin and gently touched it. Feeling the smoothness and brightness of the satin, she smiled and said, "It's really different to have a man in the family."

Hongqiao snorted, not only was it different, those dog officials who dared to use their power to oppress the princess were all punished by my uncle.

Especially Lu Guangzu, who danced the most happily, has not yet come out of the imperial prison, and he may not be able to come out.

Even if you can get out of the prison, you will become a human being and a ghost.

Hongqiao was so proud that she started to say good things to her uncle again: "I want to see who dares to treat the princess as a soft persimmon. I thought that when the empress went to Jinling, the princess would be bullied. With my uncle's support, whoever dares to treat the princess again will

Bullying the princess, what happened to that bitch Lu Guangzu is a lesson to others."

Princess Changping knew that Hongqiao said all these words deliberately, telling her to help the prince-in-law say some good things.

She had to admit that these kind words were indeed very pleasing to the ear.

Li Mian's weight in her heart became heavier again, and he was a man she could rely on.

Princess Changping put down the embroidered gold satin in her hand, closed the window lattice, and gave instructions: "The prince-in-law is now in charge of the money in the palace, so these satins will be handed over to him for storage, and he will also let the prince-in-law deal with them if he wants to reward them."

Anyone can do it, there is no need to report to me anymore."

A kind smile appeared on Hongqiao's pretty face, and she immediately left the embroidery room with her embroidered gold satin in her arms, and brought all the filial piety to the study room in the east corner with a few maids.

My uncle was abducted by Sun Chuanting again, and he would be handed over to him when he came back.

Before reaching Hongqiao and stepping out of the embroidery room, another voice came from behind.

Princess Changping called softly: "In a few days, it will be cost-effective for you to accompany my uncle to Hongluo Temple in the capital and find the Zhike monk in the temple..."

Princess Changping was mid-sentence, biting her red lips, and a twist that would never appear on her body appeared.

Princess Changping bit her teeth and said the second half of the sentence that was unspeakable.

"Calculate the horoscopes of me and my consort."
