lied to Kangxi

Chapter 188
After taking power in his hands, the gate of the Long family's mansion was full of traffic and visitors.

The big businessmen of this era, despite their low status, can definitely be regarded as elites with flexible minds.

Yuzhu didn't see any guests, Longko was too dark-hearted, but it didn't matter.

In the capital city, the wealthy merchants in front of the row asked their wives to come to see Li Si'er with generous gifts.

With a generous gift as a stepping stone, Li Si'er is naturally happy to appreciate face.

When Wu Yashi arrived, Li Si'er's room was filled with wealthy businessmen's wives from inside and outside the capital.

Li Si'er, the most face-saving, the most vain.

She was afraid that Wu Yashi would be embarrassed, so she introduced that Wu Yashi was the concubine of the elder brother's house.

Businessmen and officials are the two most snobby groups.

After Wu Yashi sat down, she soon noticed that the businessmen's wives were perfunctory to her.

There is no way, the elder brother likes to lead troops, but he has no military power.He carried the title of county king in vain, but he had no serious errands.

The fifth child, although he is only Dorobelle, is a serious brother in charge of the Lifan Academy, and he is the emperor who has the final say.

In any case, the officials of the Lifan Academy must give the old five face.

Wu Yashi kept drinking tea with a light smile, not afraid of the embarrassment of being left out.

After these wealthy businessmen's wives left, Wu Yashi and Li Si'er got together and whispered their own words.

It turned out that in the elder brother's mansion, because of the incompetence of several big business managers, there was a big deficit.

It was already at a loss, but as a result, Yuzhu's new official took office and became the living ancestor of wealthy merchants inside and outside Sijiu City.

Eldest elder brother asked Wu Yashi to come over and discuss it in private to see if the city gate tax can be exempted?

In fact, Big Brother wants to sell private salt, which is extremely profitable and easy to sell.These days, as long as private salt can enter the city, there is no need to worry about selling it.

The only difficulty was that the investigation at the city gate was tight, so Yu Zhu had to nod and be accommodating.

Yuzhu's advantage is too great, Longkodo is in charge of the security of the city gate, and he is in charge of the tax revenue of the city gate.As long as he nodded, Longkodo would not make things difficult on purpose.

The reason why Big Brother didn't find Longkodo was mainly because Longkodo deliberately alienated him.

Because, Kangxi beat Longkodo, implying that the boss kept making small moves secretly.

This person, if he wants to become an important minister and still stand upright, he must be good at listening and listening, and have a solid foundation in distinguishing subtext.

Long Kedo avoided seeing the big brother, and the big brother put his mind on Wu Yashi.

Wu Yashi was secretly framed by Da Fujin and conceived several times, and could no longer conceive.

The elder brother has been pretending to be deaf and dumb and not giving an explanation. How could Wu Yashi be willing to make money for the elder brother?

Li Si'er and Wu Yashi have been friends for many years, and even Yuzhu wants to call Wu Yashi his aunt.

After Yuzhu was found by Li Si'er, Wu Yashi said the matter lightly, and he understood that she was just putting it off.

If Wu Yashi really wanted to help Big Brother, no matter what, he would make a few solid promises.

These days, asking for a lot of help, is there any reason not to promise to share the benefits?
The problem is that the elder brother is a single-minded reckless man. He wants to sell private salt for huge profits, but he doesn't want to give benefits.

Hey, how can there be such a cheap thing in this world?

Whether to accept it or not is Yuzhu's business.Whether to send it or not is what the elder brother must give.

The two should never be confused!
Li Si'er often said on the edge of his mouth, don't spend so much money next time, just come empty-handed.

If he came empty-handed, to be honest, he would offend Li Si'er severely.

Yuzhu was there to help Kangxi make money, not to cause trouble for himself, let alone to fight corruption and promote integrity.

Therefore, even if Wu Yashi didn't mention the dividend, Yu Zhu took the initiative to give a quota for private salt to enter the city.

No more, no less, at most once a month, [-] liters each time.Moreover, Wu Yashi was temporarily notified by Yu Zhu about the route to the city.

"Auntie, it's your old man who opened his mouth. No matter how difficult my nephew is, I have to give you this face, right? But, it can only be five hundred liters, and if there is more, there will be nothing more." Yu Zhu said, How could Wu Yashi not be moved?

Yuzhu's words were already very blunt, and he let go only for the sake of Wu Ya's face.

According to the market price of table salt, it is eight hundred cash per liter.The opening of five hundred liters, that is, it is a great benefit of at least 3000 taels of silver to give to the elder brother for nothing every year.

You know, the elder brother's annual salary is only 5000 taels.

Wu Yashi's biological father, Mr. Bacchina, the construction secretary, is well-known as the richest man in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.She is an only daughter, and she has been exposed to various means of making money since she was a child, so she is naturally a sensible person.

When Yuzhu got married, Wu Yashi privately added a dowry gift of 3 taels of silver.Just for this, since Wu Yashi opened his mouth, Yuzhu will give face.

As the saying goes, courtesy is light and friendship is heavy.This situation is pitifully rare and is a special case.

The logic that really prevails in society is actually that when etiquette is important, friendship is important.

The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, just like a bowl of poisonous chicken soup!

No profit, only poor friends will care about you.How much money and how much power can they contribute to support you in your position?
Only by understanding this logic can progress be possible.

When Yuzhu came back from Li Si'er, he saw Hongmei beside Xiuyun.

As soon as Yuzhu saw Hongmei, his evaluation of Xiuyun in his heart naturally increased a little bit.

Well, his wife is a woman of great wisdom.

When Hongmei was pushed over by Li Si'er, Yu Zhu intentionally handed her over to Xingjiao, out of respect for the dignity of Xiuyun's wife.

Now, Xiuyun did not torment Hongmei unscrupulously, but let her appear in the principal room.

It must be admitted that Xiuyun's courtly demeanor cannot be concealed.

A really smart wife, who would lower her figure and take the initiative to fight with a girl in the house?
To put it bluntly, Hongmei is indeed very charming, with very attractive eyes.However, as long as Xiuyun is willing to spend a lot of money, will she still worry about not being able to buy a beautiful woman?
What's more, even Xingjiao's beauty is at least two chips higher than Hongmei's.

"Master, after all, Hongmei is a capable person around my wife, and the rules are all in order. Why don't we just choose a good day and get a concubine?" Xiuyun said this seriously, and Yuzhu was amused.

Yuzhu has always had a temperament of being soft rather than hard, since Xiuyun is so virtuous, he naturally wants to save face.

Besides, Yuzhu is not a pervert who lacks a beautiful woman by his side, so why panic?

"Why don't you let Hongmei follow Hanshuang to serve the pen and ink in the study?" Yuzhu discussed with Xiuyun with a smile.

"It's Yiye's." Xiuyun couldn't help but feel sweet, if Yuzhu directly took Hongmei into the room, no matter how virtuous she was, she would not feel very comfortable.

Now, Yuzhu has built a ladder to save face, and after a transition, Xiuyun's heart feels much better.

The society is cruel to women. Who can bear to give their husbands to other women?
But the problem is that etiquette and rules are greater than the sky.

No matter how wise Xiuyun is, she is powerless to resist the overall oppression of women by the whole environment.

As soon as Yu Zhu sat down and picked up the teacup, he heard the report from the porter that a thirteenth son came outside.

Hey, the old thirteen came unexpectedly, Yuzhu couldn't help smiling, it must be something similar to the elder brother who wants to open the back door.

Yuzhu received the old thirteen in the inner study, and the old thirteen didn't wait for the tea, so he said directly: "Fourth brother and I have some business secretly, and I need you to take care of it."

In this man-eating society, there has never been a real term for doing things impartially.Some just take advantage of their power to bully others, taking advantage of the big to take advantage of the small.

Even if it is the enterprising fourth child, the difference between him and the unscrupulous ninth one is that the old ninth eats black-hearted money eight times a month, while the fourth takes away property once every half a year.

The degree of doing bad things is slightly different, but the reputation of embezzling private property is the same.

In Hongdong County, where are the real good people?

Yu Zhu smiled and said: "Do you need to talk about the business between you and Fourth Master, how to take care of it, you can just talk about the regulations."

Objectively speaking, apart from the crown prince and the eighth son, Yu Zhu had already left a bit of sweetness for the princes and elder brothers, but it was impossible to completely satisfy their tax avoidance quota.

The prince brothers who were originally neutral or pretended to be neutral all spoke ill of Yuzhu.

Once the jade pillar is favored again, after a long time, dripping water will wear away the stone, and everyone will talk about gold, and the accumulation will be destroyed!

"Okay, it's a pleasure, I like your straightforward personality. It's not much, just three thousand liters of private salt." The old thirteen smiled and raised three fingers, shaking in front of Yu Zhu's eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yuzhu nodded on the spot, and added: "The tree is too attractive, the time and place for the goods to enter the city must be decided by me, okay?"

"I said brother, you are so thoughtful of his uncle, of course."

Old Shisan's insight made Yuzhu couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

In fact, the thirteenth child is much smarter than the fourth child.He is the same as the old twelve, because his mother clan is not good enough, he has no strength to compete for the big position.

Those who live below others must properly hide their clumsiness and not be too shrewd and exposed.

This is the way to protect yourself for a long time!
The most striking example is Yang Xiu who supported Cao Zhi.

In the past, Yang Xiu played smart and had fun, but Cao A concealed it for his son's face, so forget it.

The problem is that Cao Pi has already been established as the son of Prince Wei.If an extremely smart person like Yang Xiu continued to stay by Cao Zhi's side to give advice, he would ask Cao A if he was afraid, and what about bad guys who provoked brothers and sisters to fight each other?
So, the foolish words of pretending to be clever, lost Yang Xiu's head!
In Yuzhu's eyes, the old thirteen is the real smart person.

With the nasty temperament of the fourth child, the thirteenth child has always been able to keep calm, behave in a low-key manner, and do things in a high-key manner.

When the old thirteen was alive, he was the executive deputy emperor who held the power, and miraculously got a good death.

Among his sons, there are both hereditary princes and descendant princes.

What's even more outrageous is that all the sons of Lao Shisan who died in infancy were named Baylor.

The adventure of the monarch and his ministers, the true brothers and sisters of the heavenly family, is nothing like this!
