Beginning to become the second ancestor

Chapter 386 Chapter 384 Enough is Enough
At dusk, the early spring wind was still bitter.

Song Yuanxuan was standing in the yard. He didn't intend to take Feng Yungu and Su Xuerou with him to the appointment this time. This kind of occasion was not suitable for them, so he just prepared to take Luo Yan and Uncle Zhong, and Zhuan Zhu stayed at home to take care of him.

Bai Zhi has already bought a house, and as the liaison office of the Tianji Sect, Song Yuanxuan is going to let people go to sit in it.

Zhan Xuanwu is actually a good candidate, and he will let Nanbei go to deal with some daily affairs, and he can be regarded as the manager of the house.

"Sovereign, are you leaving now?" Luo Yan said softly.

Song Yuanxuan nodded, got into the carriage on one side, Uncle Zhong drove, and when he drove out of the gate, a man came to meet him on horseback.

"Master Hou, Cao Min is the steward of the magistrate's mansion, so let's lead Lord Hou over here." The man got off his horse and saluted.

Song Yuanxuan raised the curtain and nodded.

This person must have been waiting for a while, with a bit of chill on his body, but Zhang Tonghe was also meticulous in his work.

The carriage drove forward, and there were not many people on the road. Once again, the prosperity of Jiangzhou could be seen.

Half an hour later, the carriage entered a house. The house was huge and located by a lake. This lake was the very famous Immortal Lake in Jiangzhou.

Legend has it that the Antarctic fairy lived here and planted fairy peaches, and later Xi Shi washed clothes here.

With such a name, Bulao Lake has also become a landscape, and a pavilion has been built by the lake, with many poems written by literati and poets on it, and many young ladies will often come to visit.

Their purpose is nothing more than meeting those handsome scholars, getting acquainted with them, and entrusting them for life.

So being able to live in the house by the old lake is extremely remarkable.

The carriage stopped in the yard, and Song Yuanxuan got off the carriage, only to realize that the yard was really big.

There are many lotuses planted in the yard. The tree on one side is very tall. I don’t know what kind of tree it is. It looks like a chestnut tree. This is a good material for making furniture.

Red lanterns were dotted everywhere, and the whole courtyard was very bright. At this time, a group of people came out from the hall, and the leader was a fat man.

The fat man was wearing a white robe and was sweating profusely. His broad figure pushed Zhang Tonghe to one side.

"The Chen family, Chen Bingnan, has met Marquis Wen Yi!" The fat man saluted cheerfully.

Zhang Tonghe also saluted: "Master Hou, please come inside!"

Song Yuanxuan nodded, and slowly walked into the front hall. There were more than a dozen tables here. Chen Bingnan led him to the main table. Except for Chen Bingnan, the rest of the table were officials.

Zhang Tonghe and Chen Bingnan sat next to Song Yuanxuan, one on the left and the other on the right. Next to Zhang Tonghe was a thin man with a cold expression.

Song Yuanxuan glanced at the man, smiled slightly and said, "This must be Qin Tongjuan, right?"

"Master Hou knows your servant?" Qin Guangming was startled.

Song Yuanxuan nodded: "I met Qin Fei once."

"Your son didn't worry the Lord Hou, did you?" Qin Guangming looked nervous.

Song Yuanxuan shook his head and said with a slight smile: "Qin Fei is quite talented, and he is responsible for justice. I think it is very good."

"Your Majesty thanked Lord Hou on behalf of my son!" Qin Guangming's expression brightened, and he saluted earnestly.

Song Yuanxuan waved his hand, and Chen Bingnan on one side said boldly: "Master Hou, shall we serve the food now?"

"Okay!" Song Yuanxuan replied.

Chen Bingnan clapped his hands, and a famous maid walked in wearing a gauze dress. These women were outstanding in appearance and exquisite in figure. They didn't wear much under the gauze dress.

The dishes are better, and they are all rare things, such as camel humps, bear paws, sweet-scented osmanthus fish, all delicacies from mountains and seas.

Chen Bingnan poured a glass of wine for Song Yuanxuan, then raised his glass and said, "Master Hou, I respect you!"

Song Yuanxuan raised his glass, the wine in the glass was also very mellow, he felt that it seemed a little floating.

But it was only for a moment, his mind was still calm, and there was no expression of interest on his face.

When halfway through the wine, Chen Bingnan was already a little tipsy, he said cheerfully: "Master Hou, what do you think of my house?"

"The courtyard is deep and the scenery is impressive, very nice!" Song Yuanxuan nodded.

Chen Bingnan clapped his hands, and a woman came out, holding a box, and slowly walked towards the main table.

The woman has a full moon waist, wearing a long black dress, and her waist is like a willow when she walks, attracting almost everyone's attention.

Zhang Tonghe's breathing became rapid, and Song Yuanxuan glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, but his heart became clearer.

The woman was extremely beautiful, and her beauty was not inferior to that of Xue Xia. When she put down the box, she stood beside Chen Bingnan, with a little curiosity in her eyes, looking up and down Song Yuanxuan.

Her expression is very innocent, that kind of appearance matches her beauty, almost no one can escape her charm.

Chen Bingnan opened the box and pushed it in front of Song Yuanxuan: "Master Hou, this is the title deed of the house, and there are also the deeds of prostitution for one hundred and three maids. Please take it away."

Song Yuanxuan was startled, then shook his head, closed the box and pushed it back, raised his eyebrows and said: "Everyone says that the giant merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are the richest in the world, and the rumors are true.

It's just that I'm an official and you are a merchant, how can I accept your things?As long as you do business well, businessmen only do what businessmen should do, and don't think about intervening in official affairs. "

After saying these words, many people's faces changed.

Chen Bingnan's eyes were sharp, like a knife.

There was panic in Zhang Tonghe's eyes, but Qin Guangming's eyes became bright with a hint of joy.

"Since Master Hou doesn't like it, then forget it, but I heard that Master Hou came to Jiangnan this time to investigate the private salt matter?" Chen Bingnan went straight to the point.

Song Yuanxuan smiled, and said calmly: "Private salt cannot be banned, this is huge profit, but there is a limit to everything, as long as it is within the allowable range of this limit, then you can do it.

Anyone who exceeds this limit must be dealt with, so there is a limit to my investigation of private salt, Mr. Chen will not exceed this limit, right? "

"So you dare to ask Lord Hou, what is this speed?" Chen Bingnan stared at Song Yuanxuan seriously.

Song Yuanxuan thought for a while, and then said softly: "The annual income of Jiangzhou official salt is 1000 million taels of silver, so if the private salt is only one million taels, the court can tolerate it.

If the [-]% of the [-]% is paid normally, I don’t care about it. can understand.

But if it exceeds this limit, it will break the rules, and the court cannot ignore it. In this world, there are always people who like to take risks, so I advise Mr. Chen that enough is enough. "

"Master Hou, it's better to stop it in moderation! In fact, it's not just the people, even the imperial court should do things in moderation, otherwise it will always lead to backlash."

Chen Bingnan laughed cheerfully, but Zhang Tonghe broke out in a cold sweat when he said this.

Song Yuanxuan squinted his eyes, then nodded and said: "The imperial court has its own limits in doing things, and the purpose of the imperial court is for the common people in the world, so as long as most people can survive.

As for the small number of people who want to get more benefits, the imperial court will definitely take care of it. Opposing the imperial court is actually opposing the common people in the world, and it cannot be won. "

The chill in Chen Bingnan's eyes became stronger and stronger, and Zhang Tonghe hurriedly said from the side: "Your Majesty is right, the imperial court is strong and strong, and it is definitely not good to go against the imperial court.

Mr. Chen, is there any food left?I remember there is also a beef head meat?Is there another batch of big abalone?Lord Hou is very holy, so he must be treated well. "

Chen Bingnan calmed down and clapped his hands again.

　thank you all!
