Beginning to become the second ancestor

Chapter 407 Chapter 405
"I wonder how much money this shop needs?" Song Yuanxuan said softly.

Cheng Shifei looked at Song Yuanxuan, and responded slightly: "Master Hou, the eldest lady said, 10 taels of silver is enough."

Song Yuanxuan was silent for a moment, and then nodded: "It's not too deep, it's just right! Butler Cheng, in a few days, I want to visit Miss Zhou, express my thanks in person, and send the money by the way."

"Miss said that as long as Master Hou is willing to come, you are welcome at any time."

Cheng responded, then got up and bowed: "Master Hou, the matter has been handed over, and the villain will leave first."

Song Yuanxuan got up to see him off, and he became more and more curious about Miss Zhou in his heart. No wonder he was able to become the richest businessman in the south of the Yangtze River with such a method.

He now has a bit of anticipation in his heart, and he wants to see Miss Zhou's family even more.

In the capital city, the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Yuan Hao was high above, looking down.

In the early dynasty, hundreds of officials were separated on both sides of the main hall.

"Your Majesty, I have a book to play." Li Tianning came out and raised his voice.

Yuan Hao nodded, and Li Tianning's voice sounded: "Your Majesty, Song Yuanxuan, the transfer envoy of Jiangzhou, killed Zhizhou Zhang Tonghe as soon as he went to Jiangzhou. He violated the sacred order. Not killing him is not enough to establish his prestige."

With a cadenced voice, Yuan Hao said in a deep voice: "Master, I have received a memorial from Song Yuanxuan here, this time he verified the private salt, and brought back more than 1000 million taels of silver from Jiangzhou, which is half of the world's annual tax. .

Zhang Tonghe's home was confiscated with more than 600 million taels of silver. Where did such a small Zhizhou get so much silver?This is really unscrupulous!
If such a person is killed, he will be killed. This time, Song Yuanxuan sent back more than 700 million taels of silver from Jiangnan, which is almost the tax of the world for a year.

Now that the national treasury is empty, it will be much easier with this money. Grand Master, you have been targeting Song Yuanxuan, do you have any other intentions? "

"Your Majesty, I have no selfish intentions, and my heart is only for the court." Li Tianning saluted with a sonorous and forceful voice.

Yuan Hao was silent for a moment, tapped the armrest with his index finger, and said in a deep voice, "Chen Bingnan, a merchant from Jiangzhou, gives you millions of taels of silver every year. Is this also for the court?"

"Your Majesty, I did receive gifts from Chen Bingnan, but most of them were local specialties, and there was no exchange of money. Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly!

I didn't expect that Chen Bingnan's family would have so much money, and Zhang Tonghe would be greedy for a million taels, and I was kept in the dark by them. "

Li Tianning's voice echoed, with a bit of thud, and even tears.

Yuan Hao shook his head: "Grand Master, I believe in you!"

Having said that, he yelled again: "Come here, take Zhao Qifang! Cabinet scholar Zhao Qifang corrupted the law by taking money from Jiangzhou businessman Chen Bingnan and Jiangzhou magistrate Zhang Tonghe, amounting to millions of taels.

The evidence of this matter is solid, and it will be handed over to Dali Temple for strict trial. In addition, Song Yuanxuan, the transfer envoy of Jiangzhou, was promoted to the transfer envoy of Jiangzhou and Haizhou, and his official rank is the third rank.

Chen Bingnan, a businessman from Jiangzhou, was given a house with 5 taels of silver to control the two states in the south of the Yangtze River and supervise the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River. "

"The emperor is wise!" Su Changyuan raised his voice.

Everyone said in unison: "The emperor is wise!"

"Retreat!" Yuan Hao raised his voice, got up and left without looking at Li Tianning.

Li Tianning straightened up slowly, a look of loneliness floated on his face, and there was a bit of deepness in his eyes.

This time, after being scolded by Yuan Hao, Li Tianning lost some face in front of the officials, maybe no one will be afraid of his majesty in the future.

"Congratulations, Mrs. Su, this girl Xuerou has also become a lady of the imperial court."

Yang Yuanfa, Minister of the Ministry of War, arched his hands to Su Changyuan, with a sigh on his face.

Su Changyuan smiled slightly: "Choosing a son-in-law should be like Song Yuanxuan, this child is already a third grade, really amazing."

Wang Zhan laughed: "Master Su, there is only one beautiful girl between me and you!"

Several Shangshu gathered together and laughed, Xie Yuanyao glanced at it, stepped forward to say hi, and then slowly turned and left.

Gu Bing also expressed his joy, and the hall was full of excitement.

Li Tianning snorted, flicked his sleeves, and strode away.

Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, under the big tree, Yuan Yuhan sat on a piece of bluestone, holding a leaf in his hand, with a melancholy expression on his face.

"Princess, Master Hou has been promoted again, and is now the third-rank transfer envoy!" Ziyu said loudly.

Yuan Yuhan turned his head and glanced at her, then said in a daze, "Which Lord?"

"Princess, you've been thinking about it all day long! Master Canghai Song Yuanxuan." Ziyu said with a smile.

Yuan Yuhan reached out and patted her arm: "What nonsense? When did I miss him all day long?"

Ziyu hurriedly turned around the tree, Yuan Yuhan chased her and played around for a while, and then sat back to the original place, looking forward to asking: "Ziyu, do you think he is in danger there?"

"Hou Ye was able to handle such a big case and was promoted to an official position. He must have taken great risks and must have been very tired."

Ziyu said seriously, and then joked: "Princess, don't you worry about him?"

"I'm friends with him, so I should care about it." Yuan Yuhan snorted, then stared at Ziyu and said, "If you dare to tease me again, I'll marry you off.

Anyway, that fat man of the Fan family, Fan Zhuangzhuang, lacks a concubine, so it's just right for you to marry him. He and Song Houye are brothers, and they will always be a family in the future. "

"No! Miss, I dare not." Ziyu held her earlobe with both hands, squatted on the ground, carefully glanced at Yuan Yuhan, and dared not say anything else.

Only then did Yuan Yuhan straighten his waist and said, "Then give you to Lord Hou to be a housemaid, okay?"

Ziyu nodded, seeing that Yuan Yuhan's expression was not right, she quickly shook her head again: "I have been serving the princess all my life, and I am with the princess, and no one will serve me."

Yuan Yuhan sighed and murmured: "Ziyu, I have no choice who to marry in the future. If the emperor arranges my marriage, I will send you to the south of the Yangtze River."

"Princess, don't, I will always be with you." Ziyu held Yuan Yuhan's hand tightly.

In the harem, Yuan Hao sat in the imperial study, looking at another memorial in front of him, which was sent by Song Yuanxuan later, and wrote about the process of Yang Qing's proclaiming the imperial edict, and also sent back the imperial edict.

"It's really daring! You dare to spread false imperial edicts."

Yuan Hao murmured, then raised his voice: "Little Li, come in!"

Eunuch Li came in and bowed to Yuan Hao: "What is the emperor's order?"

"You go to the south of the Yangtze River to announce the decree. In addition to Song Yuanxuan's promotion, Yang Qing will be executed on the spot." Yuan Hao raised his voice.

Yuan Yuhan came in from the outside, saluted and said: "Father, my son also wants to go to Jiangnan to have a look, please allow me."

"Are you going to Jiangnan? As a princess, if you go to Jiangnan, you will have to mobilize people along the way."

Yuan Hao shook his head, and Yuan Yuhan hurriedly said: "Father, my son subdued and left. Anyway, Eunuch Li will follow. It won't disturb anyone. My son just wants to see the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Xiao Lizi, protect the princess! You go across the Cao Canal, stay in the south of the Yangtze River for a few days and come back."

Yuan Hao waved his hand, Yuan Yuhan hurriedly said: "Thank you, father!"

Eunuch Li smiled and bowed: "Observe the order!"
