Chapter 9 Mrs. Su who knocked on the door

Yang Sheng and Meng Fei became more and more confused as they listened. They didn't understand what this had to do with Cai Jing's favor, but Su's expression was extremely solemn. Seeing the two of them like this, Cai Huang smiled bitterly.

"Official collection, official fortune, official sales, one pound or half a pound of "dine salt", and the people have no money, whether it is used to replace the tiny silk of money with self-produced silk, it is just the same as the twelve pounds of salt or six pounds of salt per year. If it is excess, it is impossible, unless the official increases the price of salt several times."

"A pound of salt is worth a pound of silver. Some people have heavy mouths and a lot of salt, while others have a weak taste. They may want to save some money while eating less salt. The forced salt or silk is actually blocking the people's desire to save. To put it bluntly, it is the behavior of the official bully and rogue."

"However, salt banknotes are not [Tianlai Novel www.23txt.info]. They are with Ding Yan and Ding Juan, holding salt banknotes, and want to exchange them for them. They can exchange them for them by themselves, or exchange them for them from the shops, saving some of them themselves. The rest can also be sold directly to larger salt merchants in exchange for some money. If there is no accident, the people will be more willing to use salt banknotes."

"I just said that whether it is Ding Yan or Ding Silk, the amount of people is the amount of income per year, which is based on the amount of salt. But the problem arises. Without mentioning the amount of pressure the official transport will increase. This "determinal" alone is not enough to satisfy the use of more than 7 million pieces of brocade and silk for 1.2 million soldiers!"

"Salt banknotes are not copper coins. How much copper is made of copper coins. The salt banknotes are just a piece of paper. The official wants to print them, as long as the official nods, that is to say... how many brocades the official needs are, only how many salt banknotes are printed, and use these salt banknotes to exchange them for brocade from the people. Even if there is no corresponding salt for the salt banknotes printed in the salt pond, perhaps the two generals are generally dissatisfied with the people in private, because the people paid the brocade but could not get the salt. They just got a short paper banknote. But don't forget that because of this, one and two million soldiers were used for it."

"And this... it is precisely because the old Grand Master Cai is favored. Who can get money, who can support one million soldiers and one million officials will inevitably become the top powerful people in the field of power!"

"And this is why the officials erected the Yuanyou Party Monument and the Grand Master Cai personally held the pen. Of course, the people also scolded Lao Cai for being a terrible person. Who told him to mess up the empty checks without any trouble?"

Cai Yan scratched his head, and at some point the four female accountants, Su family, Yang Sheng and Meng Fei were speechless. He looked at the little kid in front of him, as if he was looking at a monster. Everyone knew that Lao Cai was bad enough and had a bad reputation on the street. The salt banknotes started from the time of Fan Xiang. Later, in order to make up for the increasingly inadequate use of the treasury, the salt banknotes issued by the government were more than a year or a year. By Cai Jing, the old banknotes had long exceeded the salt produced in the salt pond. The Yuanyou Party members opposed the reform and returned to the beginning of the "official collection, official fortune, official sales". The previous salt banknotes, whether in the hands of salt merchants or in the hands of the people, became a piece of white paper, and the people were extremely dissatisfied in private. Cai Jing came to power and changed all this. Although the small households still had no salt, this was not a piece of white paper, at least there was still a glimmer of hope.

The people's hearts are the people's interests. Let everyone make profits, prestige, and reputation. If everyone doesn't have profits, then there is no prestige! What's more, in order to make money, Lao Cai also made a "big money for ten yuan". He is not scolded, but who is scolded? If he was cheated like this, he would have scolded him!

Finally, Yang Sheng and Meng Fei did not clearly express whether they were willing to follow. Seeing his son leaving with the confused Lu Tao, until his son who was scratching his head turned over the moon gate and disappeared, Su suddenly spoke.

"Qiuyue, tell Boss Su that no matter what, twenty brave death warriors must be sent to accompany him in close proximity!"

Qiuyue nodded, and said nothing, and turned around to find someone to arrange it. Su hesitated for a while and said to Dongmei: "Dongmei, go to Bianjing in person, and tell the master everything that Yaner said, "Jiang's body is a little weak, so I won't go to Bianjing for the time being."

As he said that, he looked at Yang Sheng, Meng Fei and the others and said, "Three years ago, although the two generals committed different things, they were also because our Cai family was removed from the cage. They originally hoped that the two generals would protect my son..."

Thinking of Cai Yan's words, Su sighed in his heart, his face was not distorted, and he said in a deep voice: "My son is generous and does not want to aggrieved the two generals. The Cai family also gives the two generals a different choice. If the two generals are unwilling, they can send the two generals to the sect of Taiwei Gao. If possible, I can give my son some help in the future."

Yang Sheng and Meng Fei looked at each other for a while and were silent. Yang Sheng nodded silently and was about to speak, but Meng Fei clasped his fists and strode towards the empty Moon Gate. He pressed the knife with one hand and waved back twice with the other hand, and the words came into everyone's ears.

"The little boy's answer to the doubts today is enough to make the villain willing to be a slave for ten years. Brother Yang, let's talk about you and I will talk about you next day."

Yang Sheng was silent for a moment, sighed in his heart, but straightened his body, clasped his fists to Su and said, "Although the fifth young master is young, the last general is not as good as one or two. If the young master is sent to another day, the last general will be absolutely absolutely fine!"

Su sighed in his heart, but smiled slightly on his face, and nodded and said, "General, you are welcome. Dongmei is heading to Bianjing. Please take care of the general on the way. I think the master also hopes that the general can return to support the Japanese army."

Yang Sheng's expression did not change and said with his fist: "Madam, the kindness of the young master will be repaid in the future!"

Su sighed again in his heart. He wanted to find two powerful personal followers for his son, but he didn't expect that he would become like this. He went back to the boudoir and sat alone at the table. He wanted to write a letter with his own hands. He lifted the brush several times, but finally put it back on the pen holder. There was only a huge ink stain on the paper in front of him.

“Great…”

"well……"

Never thought that her son would say these words. She was as smart as she had never thought about these things. She also believed that perhaps the Song Dynasty could figure it out, and perhaps there was no number of hands. The more this happened, the more worried and afraid she felt...

Cai Yan didn't know that Su was standing alone in the attic and looking at his courtyard for a long time, but she was a little surprised that Meng Fei stood outside the door with a knife. He didn't understand what happened to the Western Army man who had always been arrogant. He didn't even think about it, so he simply stopped thinking about it. He knew that he had become a natural slut, until the evening was approaching Old Master Su came to visit himself...

Su Zhen brought his great-grandson Su Rui to visit. Although Su was puzzled, he gave him enough respect. The middle gate opened wide to welcome the mansion, and even asked Chunhua to come to accompany him. He hoped that Su Zhen could value his son and give more support in Hangzhou.

When the spring flowers came, he was reading classics in the study, which was no different from before. He drew circles where he didn't understand, and he was even more eager to have a writing tool such as a pen, a pencil, or a writing tool.

Cai Yan didn't think much about it. He knew something about the Su family from Lu Tao's mouth. He didn't have much conflict with the Su family's rejection of his own path to study. It had nothing to do with passers-by. I was lucky to get it, but I lost my life. What's the point of being dissatisfied with it?

The front door of the Su Mansion was not very high, and his knees were as high as his. Every time he entered, he needed to hold the door with one hand and enter sideways. This was very inconvenient for him to enter the living room of the front hall and was also very conflicted.

When I saw Su Zhen for the first time, I felt pretty good. Looking at the charitable old man, I clasped my fists and bowed my fists seriously.

"Lawer has met the old man. The old man lives for a hundred years and becomes more energetic as he lives!"

Su Shi glared at him, looked at Su Zhen with a smile, and said with a smile: "There is too naughty, don't be as knowledgeable as him."

Su Zhen laughed with beard stroke.

"Ha ha……"

"When the ancestor was lying on the bed and couldn't move, he always remembered the love affairs of the boy!"

He looked at Cai Yan deeply again, smiled and sighed.

"Ah... After a serious illness, Jae's body became worse. A boy was not romantic and a boy was useless, but Jae needs to be more cautious."

Cai Yan was a little confused about Su Zhen's words. Just as he was about to joke at this age, Su frowned inexplicably and looked a little solemn. While adding tea to the old man, he said, "The ancestor is here, won't he listen to some evil words, right?"

Su Zhen did not speak, and Su Rui, who was standing behind him, said dissatisfied: "My fifth cousin has just recovered from a serious illness. He should have stayed in the mansion to rest. When his body becomes stronger, he can go to Bianjing to meet his uncle and son, and be filial to his knees every day. How can he tease a girl in the street after he recovers from illness? How can he smash other people's tables and chairs, and be a villain's reputation?"

"You...you swear by a swearing—"

"you……"

Lu Tao was furious, her little face turned cute and crimson, but a loud bang suddenly came from inside the house.

"Bang!"

Su suddenly slapped the table.

"Shut up! The ancestor is not rude!"

Lu Tao cried and lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "Madam, the young master did not bully Sister Gu, it's..."

"Shut up!"

Su said coldly again, and the little girl burst into tears, and there was a strange silence in the hall.

Su Zhen was silent for a moment, sighed, and said, "The son is young, and the ancestor doesn't believe in rumors in the market, but... that girl from Gu..."

"hehe……"

Su chuckled.

"What the ancestor said is, don't say that the scholars in Hangzhou admire him. Even if Mei Niang is a daughter, she still respects Gu Qinniang's nobleness and integrity in coming out of the mud without being stained."

"Oh~"

"The master made a lot of money because of the lack of copper in our dynasty. Although he had the intention of relieving his worries in the Song Dynasty, the situation was not satisfactory, and the people were unhappy and complained. The Mid-Autumn Festival moon was coming, and the choice of the courtesan is approaching. Although my son took action with righteousness, he was inevitably spread by people with hearts..."

"Well!"

Su looked at Su Zhen and said with a smile: "This year, Mid-Autumn Festival, Baihua Pavilion only talks about poetry, songs, and not about the affairs of the courtesans. Just respond to the scene. What does the ancestor think?"

Su Zhen's expression suddenly changed, and the next moment he became a kind old man again. Cai Yan thought he was dazzled.

"My lady may have misunderstood. The ancestor came here, one was to look at the body of the son, and the other was to make the son enter the Su Academy..."

"hehe……"

Su smiled and drank tea.

"The ancestors don't have to worry too much about his studies. Two days ago, the master sent a letter saying that the officials agreed to the Imperial College, the state school, and the county school gradually progressed. Excellent students in each school can be sent to the county school. Those with excellent county school will enter the state school, those with excellent state school will enter the Imperial College, and those with excellent state school will choose the excellent ones from the Imperial College to serve..."

"What?!"

Su Zhen stood up in shock and looked at the woman who lowered her head to drink tea with disbelief. Cai Yan also looked at her overly young mother. She never expected that she would say these words, and she would not even expect that the old Grand Master Cai would abandon the imperial examination system!
