After returning from Li's house, Ye An remained silent and his expression was so solemn that it made him cry. So the laughter of the past was gone at the dinner table. Even the most naughty Ye Ling sat there obediently.
Dare to move.
But soon Ye An adjusted his mentality and told everyone a joke with a smile, but the joke was a bit cold...
Chen Lin came over with a rice bowl: "Don't take the Li family's affairs to heart. No family can keep its status intact, even the royal family members are no exception. If you do something wrong, this is what it should be."
Ye An nodded and said, "What Mr. Chen said is right. If you do something wrong, you must be held responsible. But some people don't want to take responsibility and put the blame on others."
"I advise you to speak less and make less baseless speculations. Yushitai's admonishment to impeach him is not groundless!"
Ye An smiled: "I know, so I didn't worry too much about Li Zunxu's death. I was unhappy, and everyone in the house was frightened. I understand some truth."
Chen Lin finally smiled and nodded: "It's good to know. After all, you still have to live your own life, and there must be a limit to helping others, right? You are in charge of the Imperial City Division now, and you have too many things to worry about!"
On the contrary, Ye An didn't have too many things to worry about. The external business of the Imperial City Division was no longer so important. The news from the Speed Division that was sent to the palace was completely ignored without causing any splash. As for guarding the palace...
Soldiers armed to the teeth are enough to intimidate everyone.
Now Ye An is fishing every day. This is a good day that he has been looking forward to for many years.
At most, he handles documents from the northwest every day. After Chen Lin leaves, Ye An returns to his study. It seems that anyone can enter here, but only Chen Lin has difficulty entering. For this reason, this old guy often makes mistakes in the house.
Complain.
Qin Mumu is already in the room. She is fully responsible for the accounts from the northwest. There has never been any problems. Ye An has become accustomed to cooperating with her. As long as it is not a matter of principle, he can give in.
"Our family has the final say on the Puhui business. Do you think the Cao family will feel relieved? The account books have been sent to the Cao family, and you don't intend to hide it?"
Qin Mumu was a little curious. During this period, Ye An knew that someone was going to attack the company, but he did nothing.
Of course Ye An knew what she was thinking, he shook his head with a smile and said: "There's no need. If the Cao family really cares, it's useless to hide it. If the Cao family doesn't care, it doesn't matter even if you don't hide it. Besides, this account book... is just a decoration."
Qin Mumu curled her lips in dissatisfaction and said: "I have to prepare two sets of accounting books for my own business. It's really boring. I always feel weird, like..."
"Illegal concealment of assets, right?"
Ye An put away the account books on the bright side, and then took out an account book full of letters and handed it to Qin Mumu: "This is inevitable, someone wants to use force to seize our things, we are in front of him
Maybe it's nothing. No matter what kind of status he gave us, it was given by him after all. We don't think we earned it by relying on our own abilities. Even if this business has nothing to do with him, he can
It’s natural to start a business name.”
"So I hate power, and I also hate entering the palace! I originally thought that the daughter of the Cao family would be different, but I didn't expect that she would also plan for Zhao Zhen, testing my attitude in every possible way, even if she wanted to start a business.
There’s no need to be so blatant, right?”
Ye An laughed: "What you said, when has the imperial power ever been timid? The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers, life and death, as the emperor wants. You are right if you feel uncomfortable, so I
We just do nothing and keep stripping away the valuable things in Puhui Company. Those machines and stores are not important to us. Skilled workers and technical craftsmen are what I value and are actively transferring."
"Then how long are we going to endure it? The worst case scenario is resigning and running away. I don't believe that if you go to the northwest after resigning, the officials will still stop you?!"
Qin Mumu was a little anxious, but Ye An smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I can't resign from this official position. The presence of an official means that there is still a connection between our family and the Tian family. If not, we will completely break up with each other for a business name."
The family's fall out will make the world laugh at us, and it will also be our family's fault. Don't forget our original plan, our character cannot be ruined!"
"So you're waiting for an opportunity? But for what opportunity?"
Ye An let out a long sigh and hugged Qin Mumu into his arms. He looked at the roof gradually emptying and said to himself: "I am waiting for an opportunity for the Song Dynasty to begin to decline, a turning point in history..."
Qin Mumu looked at Ye An with some confusion: "What's the twist?"
"A beating hurt, but it didn't wake up the Zhao and Song dynasties..." The moonlight was sultry and the world was cold. No one knew what Ye An was planning. Even Qin Mumu seemed to understand, but she didn't
She wouldn't ask, because she trusted the man in front of her, and he had almost done his best, but he didn't choose to compromise.
I don't know why, but after Ye An said these words, Qin Mumu could even see a trace of sadness on his face, and couldn't help but said: "You have done a good job, and the current Master Song is already better than
It was much more powerful in history. I have read that since the emergence of potatoes and sweet potatoes, food production has been much higher. At least...at least...no one can starve to death."
Ye An smiled bitterly: "In the face of disasters, people are starving to death, but the annexation of land continues, and even becomes more serious. The more potatoes and sweet potatoes are available, the more people are unable to eat. Do you know why? Because?
The market economy is gradually being controlled by wealthy businessmen and wealthy families. They have discovered the secrets and laws of economic operation, and have even begun to explore production relations. When they monopolize commodity trade, what do you think will happen? Don’t forget, food
It’s also a commodity! The price of food will also affect the price of commodities!”
Qin Mumu's expression suddenly changed, and her pretty face was full of shock, while Ye An continued: "Even I didn't expect those people to be so good at studying, and to establish a firm foothold in a field they were unfamiliar with.
, they have figured out the laws of the commodity economy. I originally planned to use industry to impact agriculture to make land cheaper, thereby reducing the threat posed by land annexation..."
"Didn't you succeed? The foundation of industry has emerged. Many wealthy families have turned to industry and handicrafts, and various factories and workshops have continued to appear..."
Mu Mu was a little strange. She had already felt that the economy of the Song Dynasty was transforming. The continuous increase of industry gave her hope, but Ye An's next words made her fall into the bottom: "You are right, industry is constantly increasing."
Development, but have you noticed? When these wealthy families are developing industry, land annexation has not been curbed at all. After the initial stagnation, it has become even crazier. This may be my fault."
"Why?!" Qin Mumu suddenly raised her voice. She didn't understand why it happened like this. This was completely different from what they had originally imagined.
