Xing'an Bo Mansion.

"Oh... this year is really a turbulent time!"

Xu Mengchong sat next to the small stove, rubbing his hands with each other. Now he didn't really understand the situation in the court, thinking that he had to act cautiously at this time. Suddenly, he thought of his precious grandson, who was an uneasy boy. The key was that he was very close to Guo Dan. Many things were because of Guo Dan recently, so he asked Xu Mao beside him: "What are Rong'er doing recently?"

Xu Mao hurriedly said, "Young Master has been doing charity recently."

“Charity…charity?”

Xu Mengchong's eyes almost fell out. We were talking about the same person. He really said, "I'm asking about that evil son, not Feng'er."

"The little man knows, the little man is talking about it." Xu Mao nodded and said, "Didn't the little man mention it to the master last time that the little man became the charity ambassador of Marseille."

"What kind of charity ambassadors are they making trouble." Xu Mengqiu said unconsciously.

Xu Mao wanted to speak but stopped.

Xu Mengmeng looked at Xu Mao and said, "Did you hide something for that evil son?"

Xu Mao rolled his Adam's apple and said, "Master, the young master seems to have taken it seriously. A few days ago... he spent 8,000 taels to buy a piece of land outside the South City, saying that he would build some houses for those refugees to live in."

"Eight thousand taels?"

Xu Mengchong stood up and said, "So much money, why didn't you tell me a long time ago?"

Xu Mao hurriedly said, "Master, please calm down. The young master just sent 4,000 taels away from his home, and the remaining 4,000 taels were taken from Wuzhang."

"Is it very rare for four thousand taels?"

Xu Mengchong was so angry that he paced back and forth, saying, "The court doesn't care about how many people he can help with this little money. Why should he care? This prodigal son has been alive for a few days and is now sick again. One day, he will lose all my business in Xu's family. And you, such a big thing, you don't even tell me."

Xu Mao said embarrassedly: "The little man advised the young master at that time, but the young master said he would take the money to make up after a few days. If he didn't make up for it, he would tell you again. The little man thought to himself, if you ask, the little man will naturally not dare to deceive the master. But if you don't ask, wait and see, after all, the young master can make money now."

"You! You! That evil son is spoiled by you."

Xu Mengchong pointed at Xu Mao, but in fact, this was also the result of his intentional indulgence. He used to turn a blind eye to Xu Mao's cover for Xu Jirong, hoping that Xu Mao would get Xu Jirong's trust. If he closed his eyes one day, Xu Mao was helping Xu Jirong, and sighed: "Four thousand taels are four thousand taels. It's better to do charity than to mess with Guo Dan. But this money is really a lot!"

Xu Mao hurriedly said, "Master, the young master has repeatedly promised that he will make up for the money."

.....

The price increase in silk has caused quite a lot of discussion among the people, but most of them are talking about it by the lower class. However, the playboys and nobles are still staring at the Marseille, when will the race start again?

However, Marseille did not wait, but instead waited for news about charity ambassador Xu Jirong.

As charity ambassador Xu Jirong said that Marseille was postponed and charity could not be postponed. He took out 8,000 taels himself and bought a useless land in the southern suburbs, saying that he would build a private camp there for those private residents to live in.

But what was embarrassing was that after buying this place, he suddenly realized that he could not afford the wood, so he could only use some tents and straw sheds to make do with it.

The problem is that many refugees had tents and straw sheds, but because of him, they came here and found nothing.

This is such a big joke.

This made all the playboys laugh at him.

It turns out that this prodigal son has not changed at all.

Always doing thankless things.

If you want to build it, you shouldn't build it now. If the wood is so rising, are you blind?

However, Xu Jirong was very strong and didn't even go back to his home. He was blindly commanding the refugees, which made the refugees want to die. Many refugees saw Xu Jirong's true face clearly. This guy was just a fool, so he quietly left there.

Fortunately, everyone's eyes were all on silk and wood, and only the princes such as Li Shouqi were paying attention to Xu Jirong's embarrassment.

Nowadays, the price of silk has increased by more than five cents, and there is no price in the market.

The second is that the price increase is that everyone is holding silk and not selling, because everyone knows that as long as the restrictions on carriages, horses and clothes are lifted, the price of silk will definitely increase in a short period of time, because this demand will increase significantly.

Everyone was holding cloth and waiting for the court's decision.

Horse prices are also rising.

Dong Pavilion.

"Why does this little thing take so long to delay? It's so outrageous."

Wanli was the unhappy person of Xiang Shen Shixing and others.

Shen Shixing said: "Your Majesty, the court has a lot of opposition to this matter. Everyone believes that the ancestral system cannot be changed easily, and the chariot, horse, clothing and clothes involve the issue of etiquette."

"Etiquette system, etiquette system, you will know how to talk about etiquette system to me." Wanli said angrily: "If the treasury cannot provide money to provide disaster relief and ask you to get the money, you will not be willing."

Wang Jiaping said: "Your Majesty, even if the restrictions on chariots, horses and clothes are lifted, the national treasury will not increase much income."

Wanli asked, "Have you ever calculated it?"

“……”

Wang Jiaping was stunned. I am a great Grand Secretary. Why do you think of these things? Of course, I just started talking.

Wanli said: "You haven't calculated it, but I have already made someone calculate it. The money doesn't seem to be a lot, but everyone is related to it. This gathering is a lot! No matter how much I care about it, you have to help me solve this matter as soon as possible. If this matter cannot be resolved, then don't hold a cabinet meeting."

After saying that, he left angrily.

Leave Shen Shixing and others to stare at him.

Wang Xijue said: "It seems that His Majesty is determined to abolish the restrictions on clothing, chariots and horses this time."

Wang Jiaping said unhappy: "Even if it is, Your Majesty cannot use the cabinet meeting to threaten us."

Shen Shixing hurriedly made a smooth move and said, "It's no wonder that Your Majesty has failed to implement many policies since Your Majesty took power. I think Your Majesty is also anxious!"

Xu Guodao: "What should I do? Everyone opposes this."

Shin Shixing sighed and said, "Let's talk to them again, alas... this is actually not a big deal."

The emperor must be serious, and Shen Shixing dared not to interfere with the cabinet members and let the public gossip and said that the priest's will has been decided. This matter is a foregone conclusion and cannot be discussed again.

When the censors and censors saw it, OK, your cabinet is learning from Zhang Juzheng and threatening us with the emperor. They immediately asked the court to discuss, and the holy intention has been decided, it is that your cabinet is making trouble, and we want to talk to His Holy Lord.

But the princes and nobles in the court certainly knew that this was just an excuse for the censors and censors. This matter was the emperor's intention. They understood this point thoroughly, not to flatter, but because they were the real landlords, and they had the most silk in their hands.

If the emperor had to abolish the system of chariots and horses, it would probably be passed in the end. After all, this is not a national foundation, but it was decided by Taizu, which is quite special.

So they covered the silk tighter and didn't sell it for a foot.

When the people below saw that these people were covering the silk tightly, they knew what was going on. The price of satin rose by three cents and was about to break through one point.

But it is very difficult for you to buy silk at this price now, because everyone chooses not to sell it.

Moreover, they have sent people to Jiangnan, and there are people in the capital.

......

Kou Jiaya walks.

"The nephew is really aware of things. Before our cloth entered Tongzhou, they intercepted it, and they only paid a deposit of 5,000 taels."

Chen Fangyuan laughed happily with his big belly.

Guo Dan said: "Didn't you show your strength?"

Chen Fangyuan said: "Don't worry, everyone who talked to them was from Suhang. There was one person they knew, and we even negotiated with them for two days, but in the end they agreed to it because they were forced to do nothing."

Guo Tan said: "Then how much did we make?"

"After deducting costs, we made more than two thousand taels of money."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "It's a lot, at least you can pay the commission from Xinxing."

Chen Fangyuan said, "Are you all given this money to us?"

"certainly."

Guo Dan nodded and said, "This is an overseas business, so you have to charge a little more."

.....

Qianqing Palace.

"It's only more than two thousand taels?"

Wanli looked at Guo Dan with a little depressed look.

Guo Dan laughed and said, "Your Majesty, it's not all about buying and selling, just betting on horses."

"That's true." Wanli nodded, agreeing very much, and asked again: "When will Marseille reopen? Making this little money is not enough for Marseille to lose money."

Guo Dan said: "Don't worry, your majesty, this is not a loss. You can hold a few more games next time. Moreover, the silk and satin have just started, and the more than 2,000 taels are all hard work for the servants."

Wanli smiled and said, "That is to say, I should meet Shen Shixing and the others now."

"Hehe...yes."

"hehe......."

Wanli actually felt very happy, and it would be quite fun to tease these ministers.

.....

After leaving the imperial city, Guo Dan got on the carriage and ordered: "Go to the private camp."

This private camp is just outside the Nancheng City. It takes less than half an hour to get there from the South Gate.
