After taking the power in his hand, there were crowds of traffic at the gate of the Long family's mansion, and visitors were endless.
Although the great merchants of this era have low status, they can definitely be regarded as flexible elites.
Yuzhu didn't see the guests, Longkodo was too dark, but it didn't matter.
In the capital, the wealthy merchants in front of the house asked their wife to come to see Li Sier with generous gifts.
With generous gifts as the stepping stone, Li Sier naturally enjoys the face.
When Wu Yashi arrived, Li Sier's house was filled with prominent wealthy merchants and wives inside and outside the capital.
Li Sier, the best thing is to be face-saving and vanity-worthy...
She was afraid that Wu Yashi would be embarrassed, so she introduced that Wu Yashi was the concubine of the eldest prince’s mansion.
Businessmen and officials are the two most snobbish groups.
After Wu Yashi sat down, she soon noticed the businessmen and wives who were perfunctory about her.
There is no way, the eldest prince likes to lead troops, but has no military power. He is in vain and has no serious responsibilities.
The fifth brother, although only Dorobel, is the serious prince of the vassal department and the Supreme Emperor who has the final say.
No matter what, the officials of the Lifanyuan Department must give Lao Wu a face.
Wu Yashi kept smiling and drinking tea, not afraid of being embarrassed by neglect.
After these wealthy ladies said goodbye, Wu Yashi and Li Sier got together and spoke in a low voice.
It turned out that the eldest prince’s mansion caused a great loss because of the incompetence of several major business managers.
It was originally a deficit, but as a result, Yuzhu's new official took office and became the living ancestor of the rich merchants inside and outside the Sijiu city.
The eldest prince asked Wu Yashi to come over and clear it privately to see if the city gate tax could be exempted?
In fact, the eldest prince wants to sell private salt. The profit is extremely high and it is easy to sell. Nowadays, as long as private salt can enter the city, there is no need to worry about sales at all.
The only difficulty is that the city gate is tightly checked, so Yuzhu must nod and be compatible.
Yuzhu has too great advantages. Longkodo is in charge of the security of the city gate, and he is in charge of the taxes of the city gate. As long as he nods, Longkodo will not deliberately make things difficult for him.
The reason why the eldest prince didn't look for Longkodo was mainly because Longkodo deliberately alienated him.
Because Kangxi beat Longkodo and suggested that the boss kept making small moves in secret.
If this person wants to become an important official and still stand firm, he must be good at obedient and have a deep foundation in distinguishing subtexts.
Longkodo avoided the eldest prince, and the eldest prince set his mind on Wu Yashi.
Wu Yashi was secretly framed by the great concubine several times and could no longer get pregnant.
However, the eldest prince kept pretending to be deaf and dumb and refused to give an explanation. How could Wu Yashi be willing to make money for the eldest prince?
Li Sier and Wu Yashi have been in love for many years, and even Yuzhu wants to call Wu Yashi as his aunt.
After Yuzhu was found by Li Sier, Wu Yashi said things lightly, and he understood that she was just perfunctory.
If Wu Yashi really wants to help the eldest prince, no matter what, she will make a few solid promises.
Nowadays, I have been asking for help from others. How can I not promise to share the benefits?
The problem is that the eldest prince is a stubborn and he wants to sell huge profits from private salt, but he doesn't want to give benefits.
Hehe, in this world, how can there be such a cheap thing?
Whether to collect or not is Yuzhu's business. Whether to deliver or not is the intention that the eldest prince must give.
These two must not be confused!
If Li Sier often hangs her around her mouth, don’t spend so much next time, just come empty-handed.
If he really came empty-handed, he would offend Li Sier severely.
Yuzhu went to help Kangxi make money, not to cause trouble for himself, nor to fight corruption and promote integrity.
Therefore, even though Wu Yashi did not mention the dividends, Yuzhu took the initiative to give a private salt quota to enter the city.
There are no more or less, and you can only get one gift every month at most, five hundred liters at a time. Moreover, the path to the city will be temporarily notified by Yuzhu.
"Auntie, this is also because your old man opened his mouth. No matter how embarrassed your nephew is, he has to give you this face, right? But it can only be five hundred liters, no matter how much it is, there will be nothing." Yu Zhu said this,
How could Wu Yashi not be moved?
Yuzhu's words were already very plain. This was because of Wu Yashi's face and he was relieved.
According to the market price of salt, a liter of 800 liters is a great benefit of giving it to the eldest prince for free every year at least 3,000 taels of silver.
You know, the eldest prince’s annual salary is only 5,000 taels.
Wu Yashi's biological father, Baqinna, the founder of the Ministry of Interior, is the richest man in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. She is the only daughter and has been influenced by various means of making money since she was a child, so she is naturally a sensible person.
When Yuzhu was married, Wu Yashi privately added a betrothal gift of 30,000 taels of silver. Just for this. Since Wu Yashi opened her mouth, Yu Zhu wanted to give face.
As the saying goes, courtesy is less important than friendship and friendship. This situation is pitifully rare and is a special case.
The logic that is truly popular in society is that people value etiquette and friendship are important.
A gentleman’s friendship is as light as water, and it is a bowl of poisonous chicken soup!
If you have no profit, only poor friends will pay attention to you. How much money can they spend and how much effort can they support you to get ahead?
Only by understanding this logic can you make progress.
When Yu Zhu came back from Li Sier, he saw Hongmei next to Xiuyun.
When Yuzhu saw Hongmei, his evaluation of Xiuyun was naturally a little higher.
Well, his wife is a very wise woman.
When Hongmei was forced to come by Li Sier, Yuzhu deliberately gave her to Xingjiao to take charge, which was to respect the dignity of Xiuyun's wife's young grandmother.
Now, Xiuyun did not scramble to Hongmei without restraint, but let her appear in the main room openly.
It must be admitted that Xiuyun’s righteous temperament cannot be covered.
Who would have lowered his figure and take the initiative to fight a girl with a clever wife?
To put it bluntly, Hongmei is indeed very charming and has a seductive look. However, as long as Xiuyun is willing to spend a lot of money, she is still worried that she can't buy a Chinese woman?
What's more, even Xingjiao's appearance is at least two points higher than Hongmei.
"Master, Hongmei is a capable person around her wife, and her rules are very neat. Why not choose a good day and take care of her concubine?" Xiuyun said this seriously, and Yuzhu was amused.
Yuzhu has always been a soft-hearted person, but he is so virtuous that he naturally wants to give face.
Besides, Yuzhu is not an urgent ghost who lacks a beauty to accompany him. Why are you panic?
"Or why don't you let Hongmei follow Han Shuang and serve the pen and in the study first?" Yuzhu discussed with Xiuyun with a smile.
"Yi Ye." Xiuyun couldn't help but feel sweet. If Yuzhu directly took Hongmei into the room, no matter how virtuous she was, she would feel uncomfortable.
Now, Yuzhu has set up a ladder for face. After a transition, Xiuyun feels much better.
Society is cruel to women. Who can stand it if you take the initiative to distribute your husband to other women?
But the problem is that etiquette and laws are greater than that of heaven.
No matter how wise Xiuyun is, she is unable to resist, and the entire environment suppresses women in a comprehensive manner.
As soon as Yuzhu sat down, he picked up the teacup and heard the doorman report that a thirteenth young man came outside.
Hi, Lao Thirteenth actually came uninvited. Yuzhu couldn't help but smile. It must be the same as the eldest prince to open the back door.
Yuzhu received Lao Shisan in the inner study room. Before the tea was served, Lao Shisan said directly: "The fourth brother and I have some business in secret, and you need to take care of Yi Er."
In this cannibalistic society, there has never been a real saying to do things impartially. Some people just bully others by relying on their power and eating small ones with big ones.
Even the enterprising fourth brother, the difference between him and the black-hearted old man is that the old man eats black-hearted money eight times a month, and the fourth brother takes away land once every six months.
The degree of doing bad things is slightly different, but the reputation of invading the people's property is the same smell.
Where can I get real good people in Hongdong County?
Yuzhu smiled and said, "Do you still need to talk about your business with the Fourth Master? How to take care of it? Just tell me the rules."
Objectively speaking, except for the prince and the eighth son, Yuzhu has long left some tax avoidance share for the princes and princes, but it is impossible to completely eat enough.
The princes who were originally neutral or pretended to be neutral all said bad things about Yuzhu.
No matter how favored the Jade Pillar is, after a long time, water will wear away the stone, gold will be shining on all the mouths, and bones will be destroyed!
"Okay, it's so satisfying. I just like your straightforward personality. Not much, it's just three thousand liters of private salt." Old Thirteen smiled and raised three fingers and shook them in front of Yuzhu's eyes.
Yuzhu nodded without any hesitation on the spot and added: "The tree is so big that it attracts wind. I must decide the time and place of goods entering the city, okay?"
"I said, brother, you are so considering his uncle, but that's it."
Lao Thirteen's understanding of the 1st little bit made Yuzhu look at him with admiration.
In fact, Lao Thirteen is much smarter than Lao Thirteen. He is the same as Lao Twelve, because his mother tribe is not good and he has no strength to compete for the throne.
Those who live under others must properly hide their weaknesses and should not be too smart and exposed.
This is the way to protect yourself for a long time!
The most distinctive example is Yang Xiu, who supports Cao Zhi.
In the past, Yang Xiu was smart and funny, but Cao Aman also forgot his son's face.
The problem is that Cao Pi has been made the prince of the King of Wei. If a very smart person like Yang Xiu continues to stay by Cao Zhi and asks him if he is afraid, and what if the bad guys are trying to slap each other?
So, the word "self-righteous" lost Yang Xiu's head on his neck!
In Yuzhu's eyes, Lao Shisan is a truly smart person.
With the stingy nature of the fourth brother, the Thirteenth brother was able to remain calm, always be low-key and do things in a high-profile manner.
When Lao Thirteen was alive, he was the executive vice emperor who held great power, and he miraculously achieved a good ending.
Among his sons were hereditary princes and surrendered princes.
What's even more outrageous is that all the sons who died in the Thirteenth House were named Beller.
This is the adventure of the king and the ministers, and the true brothers and sisters of the heavenly family!
