Chapter 746: I Should Ask for Money for the Tang Dynasty

"I'll figure it out."

Su Ho also got the news, listless at home, worried for his aunt. Even the little padded jacket was eaten and hung up, and he took Ah Fu out for a wandering with his mouth full.

"Those two women are really shameless!"

Suho snorted coldly.

The mother and daughter of Wu Shun and He Lanmin can be regarded as two wonderful flowers in the palace. If you say that one of them is hooking up with the emperor, that's all. Old Li's blood was impure, and he still had the uninhibited attitude of outsiders in his bones, and he was quite casual about matters between men and women.

I can sleep with whoever I want, how comfortable I am, why are there these rules and regulations to stop me? break out go!

Elder Sister guessed that she was also very melancholy, she wanted to stand up for Jiang Han, but what should I say? Could it be that the emperor was wrong? If this is the case, the husband and wife will definitely have another cold war.

The emperor is very busy, he is busy during the day and has no time, and it is the same at night, but at night he is busy on the bed.

Jia Pingan slapped her buttocks. It was interesting to watch the waves, so he slapped her again.

Su Ho turned over and said angrily, "Does your husband think this is not meat?"

Jia Pingan laughed, "I'm going to settle this matter now, tonight..."

Meat is eaten at night.

Soho blushed.

Jia Pingan and Di Renjie had talked about this matter, but Di Renjie had a different opinion. He felt that the emperor's handling of this matter was correct...

"Old Di, this is a life!"

Jia Pingan didn't expect that this thick-browed and big-eyed man turned out to be a traitor.

"How can we tolerate bed crawling, what if we have children?"

Di Renjie raised the height of this matter extremely high, and Jia Pingan shook his head, "Forget it, I still have to use my method."

"Hey! Peace, don't offend the emperor!"

Di Renjie chased them out and saw the convoy.

It's the end of the year, send some money to Sister.

When entering the palace,

Shaopeng came to pick him up and said casually, "How much money do you have? You actually want us to pick you up... this... this..."

Jia Pingan uncovered the cloth on a large cart, which was full of money.

Shaopeng looked at the others, "All of them?"

"certainly!"

I go!

Shaopeng's legs were a little weak.

All the way into the palace, everyone was quite surprised to see a convoy of this size. When they arrived at the queen's place, Wu Mei heard the commotion outside, and said dissatisfiedly, "What's the commotion?"

"Queen."

Zhou Shanxiang went out to take a look, "Mr. Wuyang is here."

"Come here, what the hell are you doing?"

Wu Mei raised her head and saw the smiling brother.

"I did something, which caused the people outside to make a fuss."

Wu Mei put down her pen while talking, and shelved the half-read memorial. Zhou Shanxiang remembered that last time... when Li Yifu came, the queen was reviewing the memorials and talking to him at the same time. Stop...impossible.

Sure enough, Duke Wuyang is different.

"Sister, come out and have a look."

"What are you looking at?"

Wu Mei said angrily, but got up easily, thumped her lower back with her backhand, and went out with him. And the day before yesterday, Shao Peng said that there was something urgent, but the queen still refused to move, but let him speak out.

As soon as they left the hall, they saw the convoy, and a group of servants were waiting for orders.

"What are they?"

Wu Mei wanted to stretch her waist, but she could only move her neck. It is difficult to be a man, and it is even more difficult to be a queen. You have to maintain your demeanor at all times, otherwise you will be ashamed.

Jia Pingan smiled and nodded, "Uncover."

"Pretending to be a ghost!"

Wu Mei smiled, making this winter day more beautiful.

The cloth of a large cart was uncovered, and it was full of money and silk.

Another car unveils...

Uncover it all.

Copper coins are heavy, and silk and other things are piled up like a mountain.

The servants were stunned. If you want to say that there are some people who give bribes to the queen, but this scale... I'm afraid it's not a bribe, but buying and selling officials.

After all, Wu Mei is the queen, she took a deep breath and asked, "Don't you say that this is the dividend of ginseng wine."

She asked, but she was looking forward to it in her heart. If ginseng wine makes money like this, then...

There is no surplus food in the Queen's treasury!

"Exactly."

Ouch!

Zhou Shanxiang almost fell, but fortunately he pulled Jia Pingan to stand firm. She tremblingly said: "Just such a one-month dividend?"

Jia Pingan nodded.

Sister is probably going to be stunned. After the ginseng wine worth 100,000 yuan per catty was rumored to be miraculous, its reputation was completely blown up. Rich people all over Chang'an buy ginseng wine at home as a common commodity. The men in the family drink a cup every meal, and it will be hot at night!

The key is to drink this wine to restore energy, but the shopkeeper said that this ginseng wine should not be drunk too much, otherwise the medicinal effect will be too strong, and it will be harmful to health. And if the reaction is not good after drinking, stop, indicating that this drink is not suitable for you.

Look, what a righteous businessman.

Standing on the steps, Wu Mei suddenly looked sideways at Jia Pingan, with tenderness in her eyes. She stretched out her hand, and Jia Ping'an lowered her head cooperatively, letting her rub it.

"Ping An, you really are promising."

I've been doing well all along!

Looking at this scene, the servants couldn't help feeling more tender in their hearts, only feeling that there is still warmth in the world.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Wu Mei turned around and entered the hall, and there was a sense of walking like a dragon and a tiger when she walked around. But this is a woman! Does it make the emperor like a majestic woman? Jia Pingan felt wrong.

"Sister, be feminine!"

Jia Pingan risked his life to speak out, but Wu Mei rolled his eyes, and he couldn't help being stunned. When did sister roll her eyes?

The extraordinarily charming rolling eyes made Jia Pingan feel relieved. It turns out that it's not that Sister is unfeminine, it's just that she has two faces on weekdays.

Women are good actors!

After Jia Pingan waited for her to sit down, he said with a smile: "Sister, I heard that there are two women who are at odds with you in the palace?"

"Why are you asking this?"

Wu Mei was in a great mood, holding a teacup and sipping slowly.

"Sister, in fact, many times, people are blinded by profit."

Jia Pingan didn't need to say too much, just a few words made Wu Mei's eyes look more struggling, and then calmed down.

The emperor and empress had quarreled many times over the mother and daughter, and every time the emperor bowed his head. But as time goes on, how long can the emperor's patience last? Sister is so strong, can the emperor tolerate it?

If it wasn't so, how could there have been a drama about abolishing the empress later, and in the end Shangguanyi became cannon fodder, and the couple shook hands and made peace again. But this is not safe after all. What if he, a butterfly, flaps his wings and kills sister?

This time the emperor took action to punish Jiang Han, seemingly for the sake of Jiang Han not giving face, but Jia Pingan knew that this was a trick with Sister Gekong.

Jiang Han is Gongzheng. He was originally considered impartial and belonged to the emperor, but he couldn't stand the emperor's desire for an obedient Gongzheng. If there is no such thing, the grudge is still there, but it will not break out.

Jia Pingan went to test the emperor before, and came to a conclusion: the contradiction between the emperor and empress is deep-rooted, but he refuses to turn his face. What is this like?

sadomasochism?

Tut tut!

The Empress of the Tang Dynasty actually played sadomasochism, who would believe it? Go back and write a storybook to ensure that Chang'an paper is expensive.

Wu Mei's eyes were complex and gradually calmed down. She held the already cold teacup and said calmly: "Jiang Han is just a scapegoat."

She put down her teacup and took a deep breath, "I refused to bow my head, and the emperor used Jiang Han as a weapon. It's ridiculous!"

Boss...don't be so fierce!

Jia Pingan burst into tears, "Sister, this money..."

With such a sum of money, let's talk about pushing the emperor down. As for the future, there will be such a sum every month, sister...

"Sister, you are rich."

Twenty-five percent, and the export has not yet started. If it is exported... There is a statistic from later generations that the proportion of men suffering from unspeakable secrets is unusually high. Domestic ginseng wine has a weaker medicinal material ratio, but the exported ginseng wine has no such scruples. Not to mention it is a medicine for tigers and wolves, but it also has some troubles. However, compared with future troubles, Jia Ping'an is sure that these people will prefer the effect of medicine.

"I see."

After Wu Mei waited for Jia Ping'an to leave, she sent people to call Wang Zhongliang.

"Take all the money."

What's the meaning?

Wang Zhongliang was puzzled.

"Um!"

Wu Mei raised her head, her brows were slightly frowned, and she suddenly became majestic.

"yes."

The money was sent to the emperor, and Wang Zhongliang found out about it on the way.

"Your Majesty, it is Duke Wuyang's business that distributes the dividends to the queen."

Li Zhi was startled, "There are so many?"

Twenty-five percent is that much, how much does Jia Pingan have?

This is the rhythm of becoming rich and invincible!

"Let Jia Pingan enter the palace."

Li Zhi couldn't sit still.

It is not a problem for a courtier to be rich, but it is a disaster if he is too rich.

Jia Ping'an had been waiting all this time, and now he entered the palace looking quite dazed.

"Your business..."

Li Zhi nodded implicitly.

"Your Majesty, what business?"

Jia Ping installed stupidly.

"Ginseng wine!"

This is the limit of the emperor, and if he continued, he would become angry from embarrassment, and then chop Master Jia with a knife.

"Your Majesty, the business of ginseng wine is good. But this is just the beginning."

Jia Pingan smiled and said impassionedly: "There is too much money, and the minister has distributed dividends several times, which still shocks the family. I am thinking, if it is inappropriate, I should sell less."

Sell ​​less?

Li Zhi felt that this courtier was pretending to be stupid, but when he thought about the source of ginseng, he was relieved, "But ginseng is not easy to pick? Yes, such precious things can't be found everywhere. If so, why can they be sold for 100,000 yuan?"

Jia Pingan looked strange, "Your Majesty, although ginseng can't be said to be everywhere in Liaodong, it is not lacking. There are quite a lot of dots on those mountains. There are also a lot on the Koryo... But if you can combine Silla and Ginseng Baekje has been cleaned up, and there are a lot of them over there. It's all money!"

It's okay for Jiang Han not to be a palace official, but Silla...must die!

This is Jia Pingan's purpose.

Li Zhi raised his eyes, quite shocked in his heart. The royal family's money comes from various sources, but there is a fixed number every year. Jia Ping's business makes these fixed numbers a joke. How can he not be moved?

Looking at the courtiers, they have done a lot at a young age. Fortunately, he was not swept away as a broom star before, otherwise, where did these achievements come from? It can be seen that this is the lucky star given to me by heaven, so we should treat each other well.

but……

This sum of money is too big, if it stays in Jia Ping'an's hands, the situation of suspicion between the monarch and his ministers will not be resolved in the future.

But he opened his mouth to ask his courtiers for money, but he still couldn't do it. But no money... How can Jia Pingan take the initiative to hand over the money?

wrong!

Li Zhi woke up suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "The discussion on business and taxation originated from you, and I will think about it carefully."

Jia Ping'an said before that collecting business tax and encouraging merchants to use it for national use can reduce the burden on farmers. In this case, I should discuss it with the ministers.

Jia Ping turned around and left with a smile on his lips.

Behind him, Li Zhi said in a deep voice: "Tell Jiang Han, don't make an exception."

In Gong Zheng's duty room, Jiang Han came back before the new Gong Zheng's butt was hot.

"Your Majesty has said it, and I will not be an example."

It's just a cover-up. The emperor did this just to beat him up. Later, it became an unspoken rule in the palace, and those big bosses in the inner palace would be beaten every once in a while, making them miserable.

"Jiang Gongzheng."

Wang Zhongliang said with a smile: "This matter is settled like this, but...you have to remember the lesson next time!"

The lady officer's pale face resigned, and she lost face. When she came to take over, although she suppressed the pride in her heart, she secretly celebrated with some good friends. How long has it been? Before the smell of drinking last night was gone, Jiang Han unexpectedly made a comeback.

"who is it?"

Standing outside, her face flushed red.

"Say it's Jia Ping'an."

"Jia Ping'an? Why did you help Jiang Han?"

The female officer suddenly froze.

"Yes, Jiang Han is the aunt of one of his women. But foreign officials can meddle in the affairs of the palace? When there is a chance, go to His Majesty to test it out, and at least make him pay the price."

The servant who turned around to test was severely beaten, his buttocks were swollen and he couldn't walk. After seeing the female officer, she screamed: "Your Majesty didn't say anything, and just made us beat us up. Why?"

Everyone was confused, wondering if it was the queen who protected Jia Pingan? But this is a taboo thing, no matter how carefree the queen is, she can't do it.

Don't guess the emperor's mind, you won't understand even after guessing.

Jiang Han played Return of the King very calmly, but when only her confidant Bao Li was left in the room, she couldn't help laughing. Laughing beautifully...

Bao Li stared blankly at her, and as a woman she was quite amazed by this laugh. But when did Gongzheng laugh like this? Isn't it always cold?

Jiang Han was panting, Bao Li hurriedly brought a cup of hot tea, and complained: "Gong Zheng, several groups of people came outside earlier, and they were all dumbfounded when they heard the laughter. "

Jiang Han smiled again. This kind of beauty is as cold as an iceberg, but once the iceberg melts, the beauty is breathtaking.

"I'm happy for Su Ho." Jiang Han withdrew his smile, took a sip of water, and said lightly: "Xiao Jia chose to send the money to the palace at this time. You have to be accommodating. There are a lot of ways in it, but what puzzles me the most is why His Majesty is accommodating. Could it be because... you gave me money?"

Thinking of all that Jia Ping'an has done for himself, Jiang Han couldn't help being moved. This son-in-law wants it!

Jiang Han suddenly sneered, "Those people jumped up and down this time, go and tell them that I'm back."

For Jiang Han's return, the palace has mixed reactions, those who spread rumors before want to die... Isn't get out of class over? Why are you back again.

Jiang Han immediately retaliated. Someone shouted, "Didn't you say you want to be fair and just?" Jiang Han's answer is simple: revenge is fairness and justice!

More than a dozen people in the palace were taken down, chattering that Jiang Han had wronged him. Jiang Han threw out a bunch of evidence, no matter whether it was corruption or something, no one was innocent. Only then did everyone realize that they had misjudged this glamorous Jiang Gongzheng in the past.

Although Jiang Han has a high position and authority in the palace, he has always kept quiet. Occasionally, severe punishment came from the palace, and everyone just smiled. But until today, everyone knows that Gong Zheng, who is ranked among the top three in the palace for beauty, turns out to have a deep city. It is impossible to get the criminal evidence of more than ten people overnight. The only possibility is that Jiang Han has been holding it in his hand all the time.

Wrong!

Those people suddenly changed their faces, and they all begged or tried to make friends. But Jiang Han let them know what it means to be as cold as ice.

Jiang Han's attack can be said to be like hearing thunder in a silent place, and the palace was shocked by it. Even Wu Mei praised her for fighting for the woman's face, and wrote a picture with her own hand: "The bright mirror hangs high, so Shao Peng solemnly gave it to her." This is the meaning of supporting her, and I am afraid that even the emperor will not be able to touch her in the future.

Xiao Jia!

Jiang Han stood in the yard, looking at the bleak winter sky, but his heart was full of vitality.

Jia Pingan not only helped her with a ginseng wine business, but also helped the queen, and indirectly made the emperor bow his head. The ingenious means made her amazed.

Jiang Han was sighing, and Li Zhi was fighting with his officials.

"There are commercial taxes, so why do they have to increase? It's not easy for merchants to do business. If they are exhausted, who will communicate with them?" Li Yifu became a friend of merchants.

"Your Majesty, there are many merchants gathered in the city of Chang'an, and there are even many foreign merchants. If the merchant tax is collected, I am worried that they will leave. It is fine to leave. I am even more worried that they will spread bad things about Tang Dynasty after they leave..." Yu Zhining talked eloquently, as if the businessman was his relative.

Li Zhi has been sprayed for more than an hour. He looked at these conscientious courtiers in the past, and thought to himself why they refused to retreat on the issue of business and taxation?

He spoke dryly, but everyone refused to give in. Even Xu Jingzong, his confidant, asked excitedly if His Majesty was ill... It seems that this is impossible.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wuyang is asking to see you."

Jia Pingan!

Li Zhi squinted his eyes and nodded, looking at the young man striding in, but he was thinking of something else. Why do the courtiers oppose commercial taxation? It's nothing more than that there is a business at home, and it's not small. If a commercial tax is levied, they will also be cut off. Everyone in the world is running for profit, and the prime ministers are no exception.

After figuring this out, he suddenly became enlightened. But this game can't be opened. It doesn't matter if the emperor's words are rejected by the courtiers, but this matter is not a good sign. The courtiers will be more vigilant about his words and deeds, and they will attack him if there is any trouble.

One Wei Zheng gave the late Emperor a headache, what about a group of Wei Zheng?

"Your Majesty."

Jia Ping saluted, glanced at the prime ministers, and said: "I heard that today's discussion is about commercial taxation, and I have some experience in this."

"Oh! Tell me now." Li Zhi thought to himself that I wanted to cut your flesh, but he fell into a stalemate. I didn't expect you to take the initiative to send the knife. What's the meaning of this?

He looked at Jia Pingan with a calm expression, and the past was vivid in his memory. Jia Ping'an has never been considered rich, at least not in Chang'an's circle. But he was content with that. But then they made fried tea and even ginseng wine. Since he didn't pay much attention to money, why did he bother to get it?

Li Zhi suddenly thought of a sentence.

Back then when Jia Pingan argued with Wu Mei and talked about her ability to make money, she once said: "If I want to make money, I am the richest person in the world."

At that time, Li Zhi didn't care about it, thinking it was just a young man boasting, so he also ignored his subsequent words.

"I will beg for money for Datang!"
