47 Chapter 46 Salt Introduction


But after thinking about it, Shen Lian can enter the Taimiao to give a ceremony, just receive a greeting gift, as long as he finds a good reason to go to the palace to persuade him, Emperor Chunde will definitely turn a blind eye and pass.

Things really happened as Lou Jing expected, the fee for entering Beijing was in full swing, and the nobles in Beijing lent money very easily, Emperor Chunde did not say a word from beginning to end, and they were all happy for a while, but not everyone was happy with those officials who borrowed money.

However, no matter how much trouble he makes, these have nothing to do with Lou Jing, and he didn't participate in the money lending at all, but just asked Yun Ba to find out what officials had borrowed debts, especially those who borrowed from the Anguo Mansion, all of which were recorded.

In a blink of an eye, on the thirteenth day of the lunar month, Shen Lian's "meeting gift" was almost received, and the officials who returned to Beijing to report on their work rushed back when they were close, and those who were far away could only spend the New Year in Beijing.

"Why don't you do that business" Xiao Chengjun asked Lou Jing, with his temperament, this kind of money-making business naturally has to be involved.

"No money."

Lou Jing muttered and buried his face in the chest of His Royal Highness King Min.

No money, Xiao Chengjun said curiously: "Didn't you just make a lot of money from Shen Lian, why don't you have any money?"

It was snowing heavily outside, it was too cold to sit, the two of them got into the quilt after dinner, Xiao Chengjun leaned on the bedside to read, and Lou Jing automatically and consciously snuggled into someone's arms.

"Most of them have been used to exchange banknotes."

Lou Jing stretched out his hand and slowly traced the dark lines on King Min's underwear.

The warehouse banknote is exchanged for rich jana grain, the folk call it "white strip", it is used to exchange things for salt, in the official price, one or two warehouse banknotes are exchanged for one salt, and one salt is worth half a tael of silver.

Xiao Chengjun frowned, "You have to do a salt business" "In winter, there is no salt to pay, and most people are in a hurry for the New Year, and the warehouse money is so cheap that one penny and one silver can be exchanged for one tael."

Lou Jing rubbed on the dragon-shaped dark pattern, thinking that if he changed into a bright yellow underwear in the future, embroidered with a five-color dragon pattern, it would definitely be more interesting to draw.

In other words, Lou Jing exchanged one penny of silver for a warehouse note that was originally worth five coins of silver "How can it be so cheap" Xiao Chengjun was surprised, because selling salt is very profitable, and the rich have always been very willing to pay grain for warehouse money, if the price of warehouse money falls to this point, who is willing to pay grain in the future, it is estimated that they will directly sell the tax payment silver, and then the government will use silver to buy grain, and it will waste a lot of money and grain.

"There are many white strips and little salt, it is not easy to exchange salt in the past two years," Lou Jing chuckled, "What's more, there are many people in Jiangnan who exchange grain for warehouse money, but there is no salt in the salt field in winter, and the salt warehouse is in an emergency, so the salt introduction will naturally not be able to be exchanged." ” There are many salt warehouses in the north, but there are not many people who exchange grain for salt, and Jiangnan is the opposite, because the exchange of white strips for salt requires the collusion of officials and businessmen.

The merchants in the south had no way to hook up with the government in the north.

This caused the price of Jiangnan white strips to fall so far in winter.

"Yan Zheng, it's already messed up to this point" Xiao Chengjun put down the book in his hand and sighed deeply.

"It's not going to be a big mess," Lou Jing raised his hand and rubbed his twisted eyebrows, "Just because this time is good, if you wait until the beginning of spring, the white strip is estimated to be worth two or three dollars again." ” The reason why he was in such a hurry to do this business was not only because the price of the banknotes fell in the winter warehouse, but more importantly, the Jinzhou shopkeeper who came to reconcile the accounts a few days ago told him that he had bought off the new salt officials in Jinzhou, and Jinzhou now has a large amount of salt, and he can redeem it at the official price as long as he takes the white strips.

When Xiao Chengjun heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and held the hand shaking in front of him, "Then when did you mix the white strip with salt?"

"Tomorrow" Lou Jing was silent for a moment, "I have to go to Jinyang tomorrow."

"Such a matter cannot be negotiated by a great treasurer, and he must go to the salt official himself.

Tomorrow to Jinzhou Jinzhou is not far from the capital, riding a fast horse for three days to Jinyang City, the capital of Jinzhou, but, seeing that the New Year is coming, Lou Jing is going to leave the capital.

"Come back in a few days" asked without thinking, Xiao Chengjun himself was stunned.

Lou Jing looked up at him, and saw a little reluctance in the deep eyes of His Royal Highness King Min, so he couldn't help but bend his eyes, leaned up and kissed him gently, "It will be returned within ten days." ” "Hmm."

Xiao Chengjun responded, they have been together basically every day since they were newly married, and now they are suddenly separated, and they suddenly feel a little at a loss, and His Royal Highness the King of Min, who doesn't know how to react, can only pick up the book on the quilt again.

Lou Jing blinked, raised his hand and took away the book in Xiao Chengjun's hand, "What's so good about the Book of Poetry, let's read this one."

As he spoke, leaning on the chest of His Royal Highness King Min, he opened another book and pointed to one of the pages.

Xiao Chengjun put his chin on the top of the head of the person in his arms, glanced at the book in his hand, and suddenly couldn't stop reading it.

The page that was turned was a white drawing of a man lying on a couch and another intruding behind him "Yuanlang, a farewell is ten days, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay up, so I ran back halfway" Lou Jing took the book to Xiao Chengjun, and the whole person lay on him in front of him, and slowly rubbed the leg of His Royal Highness King Min with his knees.

"Hmm" Xiao Chengjun's breath stagnated, and his body couldn't help but get hot.

Lou Jing smiled, threw the book in his hand casually, leaned into his husband's ear, and said softly: "Fang Cai's posture can be seen clearly."

Xiao Chengjun was a little embarrassed by him, and stretched out his hand to push him, "No." ” "Don't worry," Lou Jing put a hand into the undershirt embroidered with dark lines, "I can see it clearly." ” "Hmm" Xiao Chengjun was about to say anything, but Lou Jing kissed his lips, and when he came back to his senses, the clothes on his body had long gone.

The weather is cold, the copper furnace in the house is booming, the red tent is warm, and if you don't do something interesting, you won't live up to Shaoguang "Slow, slow down" Xiao Chengjun lay on the pillow, being ruthlessly hit by the person behind him, his body kept rubbing between the soft futons, and he couldn't bear it for a while.

Lou Jing leaned over, bit the white neck, really slowed down, slowly pulled out, and then suddenly the whole root was submerged, embedded in a deeper place.

"Ah" Xiao Chengjun couldn't help but bow up.

Lou Jing ignored it, wrapped his hands around Xiao Chengjun's body, rubbed it wantonly on the sweaty chest, and invaded the body of His Royal Highness King Min one by one.

"It's too deep, hmm" Xiao Chengjun clenched the edge of the pillow, and there was an irrepressible tremor in his voice.

After "torturing" the person under him like this for a while, Lou Jing stopped, kissed his sweaty forehead, and moved quickly again.

The separation was imminent, Lou Jing couldn't help but ask for a few more times, and when he finally stopped, Xiao Chengjun was already so tired that he was paralyzed on the bed.

Lou Jing took the trembling man into his arms and slowly stroked his body.

"Take it out."

Xiao Chengjun moved uncomfortably.

"Wait a while," Lou Jing slowly rubbed the back of his neck, "If you're sleepy, go to sleep, and I'll wash you later." ” Although Xiao Chengjun was very tired, he didn't want to sleep at all, "Actually, you don't have to be in such a hurry to make money, I" "It's a fool not to make money," Lou Jing turned the person in his arms around, and provoked a small moan, "I have measure, you just have to do what you do." ” The snow is blowing one after another, and it doesn't stop for a few days, Jinju is even colder than the capital, and if you run back and forth on ten days, you must ride a horse.

Xiao Chengjun asked Chang En to take out the fox fur he made last year and put it on Lou Jing.

Lou Jing took the thick cloak, leaned over on the bed and kissed the face, "Be careful in Beijing, I will come back as soon as possible." ” On the fourteenth day of the lunar month, the court suddenly mentioned the establishment of the new prince.

"The New Year is approaching, and the new prince will be established at the beginning of spring next year, and it should be decided before the year."

So says the performer.

Emperor Chunde frowned, "You think, among the princes, who can be in this great position" said this, his eyes swept over Xiao Chengjun, who was standing with his head down, and when he saw that he looked immovable, he looked away and turned to look at the courtiers.

There was silence in the court for a while, the matter of the crown prince is not a child's play, and if he says it wrong, it will be a catastrophe, even if he has a plan, he does not dare to export it easily.

Emperor Chunde lowered his face, these people were talking enthusiastically just now, how can they be dumb now Everyone couldn't help but look at Zhao Duan, the left minister, since the last conquest of the right minister lost his head, the power of the left minister in the center of the court has become much stronger than before.

Zhao Duan lowered his eyes, and he didn't care about himself at all.

"Zhao Qing, what do you think" Emperor Chunde naturally saw the reaction of the ministers, so he asked Zhao Duan to say it by name.

Zuo Xiang had no choice but to come out of the ranks, and said after a moment of silence: "According to the ancestral system, the prince next to the queen should be established, King Jing is weak and cannot take on the position of the prince, and the minister thinks that he can set up four princes." ” "The four princes are too upright, I'm afraid" As soon as he finished speaking, some officials questioned it.

"The crown prince was deposed for being stupid, and now the four princes have no merits, and they are suddenly established as the princes, how can they serve the world" Shangshu of the Criminal Department said loudly.

If you want to say that the establishment of the four princes is justified, it is only because of the edict of the abolished prince, saying that it is because Xiao Chengjun is dull and unbearable to take on the great responsibility of the world, and now if you want to establish a new prince, you have to be smarter than Xiao Chengjun, and you must have at least one merit to convince the world.

However, who can you set up if you don't set up the four princes, the eldest prince has just been abolished, and it is naturally impossible to reinstate, the second prince has never been exposed to people, and the legend has it that since he was a child, he was weak and sickly, and the third prince was not raised by the queen's side, and he was not qualified to be the prince according to the ancestral system.

"The minister thinks that the three princes have good qualifications, but it's a pity that they have never been raised under the queen's knees."

It is the princes' attendants who speak.

"Since ancient times, the crown prince has chosen the meritocracy."

"The rules of the ancestors, how can they be violated, and the ministers think that they should set up the four princes."

"The Emperor" "I think so" The court began to argue again, Xiao Chengjun glanced at the silent Emperor Chunde, there is nothing to fight about this matter, his father's actions are nothing more than because he wants to establish three princes and has no legitimate reason, and he needs the courtiers to find a reason for him.

Xiao Chengjun lowered his eyes, he didn't plan to get involved, the situation in the court and the central government can still be controlled now, he won't let Chen Guifei's wishful thinking succeed, the third prince wants to enter the East Palace, but it is not so easy.

Regarding the matter of the establishment of the prince, the court quarreled for many days and there was no conclusion, and the twists and turns flew into the imperial study in stacks like snowflakes outside, and Emperor Chunde saw that one head and two big.

Now that the end of the year is approaching, there are already a lot of things going on in the DPRK and China, and he is annoyed enough.

Especially the official Shangshu Yang Youting, who is a very rigid person, this time someone mentioned that he wanted to set up three princes, but it can be regarded as touching this old-fashioned mold, two copies a day, each copy can be sprinkled with thousands of words, and the early dynasty will definitely come out to talk about the ancestral system of the previous hour.

It's just that this person is the teacher of Emperor Chunde when he was the prince, and Emperor Chunde was half dead but couldn't have a seizure.

After a few days of delay, Emperor Chunde couldn't bear it, "The matter of establishing the prince is not for a while, and the matter will be discussed after the year" This stopped the argument of the ministers and stopped for a few days.

However, after this battle, the three princes, who had never been valued by the ministers, suddenly became a hot candidate for the prince, and now Chen Guifei is being favored, and the right minister is powerful, but there are really many people to win over Xiao Chengduo.

Xiao Chengjun ignored these, went to court on time every day, did not say a word, went back to the house in the next court, and quietly read and wrote in the study.

The snow stopped, stopped and fell, the north wind howled, and on the winter night, no matter how much charcoal was burned, it was still cold.

Xiao Chengjun was lying on the empty big bed, looking sideways at the pairs of pillows, on which were embroidered with gold threads of mandarin ducks playing in the water, stretched out his hand, and slowly rubbed the cold vacancy, that person had been gone for eight days.

From the capital to Jinyang, it was thousands of miles away, and it was snowing heavily, so I didn't know if he would be safe all the way The arm that was only wearing an undershirt was quickly frozen, Xiao Chengjun retracted his hand back into the quilt, looked at the place in a daze, let out a long sigh, listened to the sad wind outside the window, and closed his eyes.

Thousands of miles of frost and snow roads, it takes six days to go back and forth, but if you ride a sweaty BMW, you can save half a day.

I have seen the salt officials, and I have done everything, no matter if it is already in the afternoon, I can save half a day by beating the horse and leaving.

Lou Jing returned to the capital covered in wind and frost, and went straight to the Min Palace.

After replacing the ice ballast, he warmed his cold body by the copper stove in the outer room, drank the hot soup served by Le Xian, and then entered the inner room lightly.

Seeing the quiet sleeping face on the bed, Lou Jing's tense heart suddenly relaxed, he never expected that after only a few days of separation, he would be like a demon, and he couldn't sleep well, just want to see him soon.

Lou Jing leaned over and kissed on the warm sleeping face, thinking that it must be very interesting for His Royal Highness King Min to see him sleeping next to him tomorrow morning, and he didn't know what expression he would show.

Thinking like this, he slowly lifted the corners of the quilt and was about to get in, but he was suddenly stunned.

Under the quilt, where he used to sleep, there was a slender hand, unconsciously slowly rubbing the satin sheets in his sleep.

A feeling that was both sore and sweet suddenly came to his heart, Lou Jing held the hand, turned over on the bed, and hugged the person into his arms.

The hard work along the way is really worth it The author has something to say: Wow, I don't know if this counts as a thick long Jun qaq I think it's thick and long, ahahaha The price of salt and warehouse banknotes, referring to the history of the Ming Dynasty, of course, there are also a lot of ingredients I made up in the salt business, don't be serious, huh siiiyo threw a mine throwing time: 2013092613:44:43 Juiazz threw a mine throwing time: 2013092611:25:17 Ah Xi threw a mine throwing time: 2013092522:19:58 Nesha threw a mine throwing time: 2013092521:48:27 Thunder threw a mine late in the night Throwing Time: 2013092521:08:18 Thank you grown-ups for the mines/��╮gd1806102:
