The shadows of trees outside the window sway, and the summer breeze blows gently.

The candlelight in the room reflected the firm face of the old lady.

Shen stood up: "So you know that the people in this family are not bullied by outsiders; even if you accompany your aunt, we will seek justice for Ce Rong and her aunt."

After saying that, Shen left.

The old lady of aunt got up and saw her off, bowed slightly to watch her leave.

Shen happened to meet several aunts and girls at the door of the old lady.

When everyone saw her, they hurriedly said, "Why are you here?"

Shen smiled and said, "What happened to such a big thing at home is that I am worried that my aunt and grandma will feel bad, so I come over and take a look."

Second Aunt said: "So too."

Several girls echoed: "It is not convenient for my aunt to disturb me, so we came to visit my aunt. My sister-in-law is busy with everything, so we will accompany my aunt."

Shen nodded and looked at the sixth girl Bai Xiuying.

Seeing that she was tanned and wiped, she gently reminded: "Miss Six should pay attention to rest when practicing martial arts, and don't be too tired."

Bai Xiuying responded well: "Yes, sister-in-law."

Aunt San and the fourth aunt smiled and said, "Shen, go and do your business. We are here, don't worry."

Shen left without saying anything.

Everyone walked into the old lady's yard together.

Bai Xiuying looked back at Shen's back and gritted her teeth unwillingly.

If she hadn't been worried about causing trouble for her sister-in-law and elder sister, she would have been venting her anger with a knife.

But in anger, she quickly calmed down.

She knew that many things were not like being at the border, and one sword could solve them.

While she does not cause trouble, she also believes that the elder sister and the others are.

Thinking of this, she kept her mind and walked towards the old lady with everyone.

...

On the other side.

After Bai Mingwei came back from Feng Qingchen, he temporarily put down Xiao Cerong's affairs and pierced his head into the study.

First, Ce Rong's affairs cannot be solved in a short while, and second, Qin Fengye asked Zhao Xiang to come to her house to share her heart.

She can't make any omissions in court affairs at this moment.

Bai Yu would come to discuss matters with her every day, and it happened that the person was there.

Seeing Bai Ming frowning, he asked, "Mingwei, what's upsetting you?"

Bai Mingwei said: "Brother Qi, do you know why I am eyeing Dongling's wine industry?"

Bai Yu sat on the chair beside him and said slowly: "I heard that it is just an ordinary fourth-rank Beijing official family. The annual expenses for wine are as much as 500 taels."

"One tael of silver can be used to spend a family of four in a year, and five hundred taels of silver can be used to provide 500 ordinary farmers with food and clothing a year."

After a pause, Bai Yu continued:

"There is huge profits hidden in this wine industry. If this profit can be filled into the national treasury, if the soldiers will not be able to wear a cotton coat in the snow."

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "That's why I target the wine industry for money. Of course, it's not just for the soldiers guarding the border to have a better life."

"There have been wars for years and everything is in trouble. The Ministry of Revenue has no money. If there are any measures to benefit the people, the Ministry of Revenue cannot provide the money to the Ministry of Works, and then the Ministry of Works will allocate it."

As he said that, Bai Mingwei threw down the things in his hand and chuckled:

"A fourth-rank official family spends hundreds of taels on alcohol in a year, and a soldier devoted his life to the border. After retiring from the army, he only received only a few taels."

Bai Yu said: "Since ancient times, the road of wine and meat is stinky, there are frozen bones, and there is an insurmountable gap between the poor and the rich."

"And those who work hard, those who are at a disadvantage, those who are exploited and exploited are always poor people."

"It's just that few superiors know that these poor people use their hard work and hard life to build up the unattainable glory and wealth of superiors."

Bai Mingwei took over the conversation: "The degree of strength of a country does not depend on how many wealth a country has, but on how much wealth the people of this country have."

"The smaller the gap between the poor and the rich, the stronger the power of this country will be. Our Dongling today is still suffering from natural disasters and man-made disasters."

"It is like a fairy tale to realize the prosperous times in the short term. It takes decades of accumulation. I can't even think about it, but it can make the Ministry of Revenue more money, but it can be fought."

"After all, whether it is military affairs, road construction, bridge construction, embankment, or channel ditches, you need to pay money from the Ministry of Revenue. If this wine transaction can be negotiated, the national treasury will not be so tight."

Hearing this, Bai Yu suddenly laughed.

He said: "When I was chatting with an old official in the Ministry of War that day and talking about his past, he said that he had also had a passion and ambition to help the world."

"For this reason, he studied hard for more than ten years, and finally achieved fame and fortune by his own strength. When he was an official in the court and wearing an official robe, he felt that he would be able to continue his unique skills for the past saints and use his fists and kicks in the court and the country."

"But for decades, he is still a small fifth-rank official, and his passion and ambition at the time have long been wiped out by reality."

"Now you and my brother and sister have put on their official robes and embarked on the career of officialdom, and we also have the ideal of maintaining peace and stability."
