Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 43 Yu Qian’s suspicion

Mrs. Ye was not happy when she saw Lin Cunyi sitting there with a serious face. Although she wanted to help her eldest brother, it was also for the sake of the reputation of the Lin family. During this time, people in her hometown learned that their second uncle was gone, and they were worried about their family. attitude has completely changed.

Lin Cunyi didn't want to argue with her, but took out a piece of paper and spread it on the table. Ye looked at Lin Cunyi in confusion.

Lin Cunyi said calmly: "In three days, I can go to the sales point to pick up 1000 yuan of soap and soap for sale every day. The fifth brother said that this note is worth at least 400 taels of silver. This is what the fifth brother gave to us!"

"Ah?" Ye stood up in surprise, picked up the note and looked at it. She also knew a few words, but not many. Then she looked at Lin Cunyi in surprise and asked, "Is this serious?"

"Of course it's serious, I personally read and wrote it!" Lin Cunyi glared at Ye.

"Here, so much money? That's more than 30 acres of land. After all, when we come to the capital, we will get almost [-] acres of land!" Ye sat down in surprise, stared at Lin Cunyi and said with a smile.

"Aren't you willing to come? I need to make it clear to you. The fifth brother said we will keep the money, so I will take it! However, if the soap and soap are still in such short supply next year, the fifth brother will get it for me. The money needs to be divided into three parts. Let's take one part and our hometown take two parts. Do you have any objections?" Lin Cunyi looked at Ye and said, he did not tell Ye that it should be divided into two parts, but three parts.

Lin Cunyi thought to himself that he could not take so much by himself. He was the second son. If he took too much, the brothers in his hometown would have objections. When the time comes for his grandfather to replace him, he would suffer even more. Besides, although Lin Cunyi did not know what Lin Cunde would be able to do in the future. This is true, but he knows that as long as he follows his fifth brother, he will definitely not suffer any loss in this life.

Therefore, he planned to keep one share for himself and use the other two shares to buy land in his hometown. The third uncle in the family also has three sons, and the fourth uncle also has three sons. Although the family now has more than 200 acres of land, but once the family is divided, those younger brothers, It is estimated that there will be less than a few acres of land.

After hearing this, Mr. Ye quickly shook his head and said, "No objection, but don't dare to take more. If you take more, my grandfather may replace my eldest brother and the others! If our family takes a share, it is a big advantage!"

Ye is also a calculating person and knows not to take too much.

"It's good to know. In addition, I'm warning you now that this kind of thing will never happen in the future. Fifth brother said that we should keep a low profile. We don't need to worry about money. Although fifth brother has some connections outside, they are all Rely on others! You need to owe favors!" Lin Cunyi continued to urge Ye.

"I know! However, the Wang family is still good to the fifth brother, and they will help with such a favor!" Ye nodded immediately, and then said with a smile.

Lin Cunyi glanced at Ye, thought for a moment, and decided not to tell her yet, so as not to cause complications.

The next day, after Lin Cunde woke up, he went to worship as usual and then exercised. After this period of exercise, Lin Cunde obviously felt that his body was much better, and he was no longer out of breath when lifting heavy objects.

The next few days were like this. Wang Ying also came once, Wang Zhi came many times, and Lin Cunde gave Wang Zhi advice. Now, they have also set up a distribution point, specializing in the sale of soap.
Lin Cunyi also went to the soap selling point every day. At the beginning, he didn't have so much money, so he could only take some with the cash on hand and sell it to some small traders outside. Selling to small traders would have a higher profit. One piece could make a profit At the end of the day, 30 taels of silver will be credited to the account.

Lin Cunyi goes there early every day. In less than half a quarter of an hour, the 1000 yuan soap and soap in his hand are sold out. On the way back, he buys some good food, or goes to the book market to buy some paper, and other He doesn't know how to buy anything, but he only knows how to buy paper, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, so buying paper is the easiest thing to do.

In the court, the ministers finally agreed to rebuild the Third Battalion, and the money and food would come out of the inner treasury in the first year. Moreover, Zhu Qiyu proposed that the five military governors each select a hundred low-level generals to come to the Third Battalion of the capital. This proposal, The Ministry of War and officials were very surprised.

The ministers also raised objections, but Zhu Qiyu silenced them with one sentence: "You said before that there were no generals available. Now, besides drawing generals from various places, is there any other way?"

Naturally, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army had no objections and was very happy. Zhu Qiyu ordered the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies to select candidates who must have military merit and be familiar with military training. If they are selected, five of them will be sent back, and each of the left and right Commander-in-Chief will be demoted one level. , the fine is one year, and if ten are beaten back, the left and right governors will be demoted to the second level, and the salary is two years. If the number exceeds ten, the left and right governors will be replaced. '

As soon as this order came out, the left and right governors of the Fifth Army Commandery Mansion did not dare to mess around.

The Ministry of War had very strong opinions on bypassing the Ministry of War in selecting personnel. Yu Qian personally went to Zhu Qiyu to clarify his interests. The selection of personnel must go through the Ministry of War. Otherwise, the Fifth Army Governor's Office will inevitably have too much power, which will bring about a series of problems.

After Zhu Qiyu heard this, he also followed the advice of Yu Qian and changed the order. The Governor-General of the Five Armies selected him and the Ministry of War controlled it.

This was originally Lin Cunde's idea for Zhu Qiyu. It was done deliberately to disturb the attention of the Ministry of War and civil servants and get them to agree to transfer people from below.

After the matter of rebuilding the third battalion of the capital was settled, Zhu Qiyu issued another imperial edict, ordering the Fifth Army Governor's Office to report the names of those who died in the Battle of Tumu Fort and the defense of the capital, and before the Lunar New Year, send ten tributes to the families of all the soldiers who died. A catty of pork, five catties of sesame oil, five catties of salt, ten feet of cloth, the required expenses are all paid out of the internal treasury, and if anyone dares to embezzle this money, the three clans will be punished!
As soon as this order came out, the people in the capital praised the emperor for his sage and did not forget the sacrificed soldiers.Some scholars and officials also praised Zhu Qiyu.

Yu Qian even praised Zhu Qiyu, but Yu Qian kept wondering in his heart, who was standing behind Zhu Qiyu, and why what Zhu Qiyu did during this period made Yu Qian unable to figure it out.

Especially to Nangong, tablets with lists of fallen soldiers have been sent from various places, and those civil servants and generals are all spiritual tablets. Yesterday, Zhu Qiyu took the ministers to worship, although there are still many list tablets that have not been engraved. But such an action made the generals cry with excitement.

Especially those Wu Xun, when they saw Zhu Qiyu, they were all respectful. It can be seen that Zhu Qiyu has completely won the support of Wu Xun.

Some middle-level and low-level officials among the civil servants were also subdued by Zhu Qiyu, and they all praised Zhu Qiyu as a holy king.

But Yu Qian felt uneasy in his heart. He didn't know Zhu Qiyu's purpose of doing this, and how much money was in the internal treasury. Yu Qian also knew that if Zhu Qiyu spent money like this, it is estimated that the internal treasury would be out of money by the beginning of next year.

Nowadays, most of the money in the inner treasury is obtained by the eunuchs who ransacked the houses, but after all, there were limits to the confiscation of the houses.

Yu Qian was sitting in the study, thinking about what happened in the court. He always felt that something was wrong, but it was difficult to show it out one by one.

"Duoduo~" There was a knock on the door from the study, which also interrupted Yu Qian's thinking. Yu Qian said: "Come in!"

Then I saw a young man pushing open the door and entering, cupping his hands at Yu Qian and saying, "Dad, brother-in-law is here!"

"Oh, let him in!" Yu Qian said with a smile. The young man who came was called Yu Kang, and he was Yu Qian's adopted son. Yu Qian found the boy on the way to his appointment. He was abandoned on the roadside. Yu Qian asked his wife Dong to take him with him. He was adopted as an adopted son by Yu Kang, who is also sensible and a scholar. He is now studying at home and is 17 years old this year.

After a while, Zhu Ji came in. After seeing Yu Qian, he saluted respectfully and said, "I have met my father-in-law!"

"Well, sit down and talk!" Yu Qian is already making tea at the moment. Although Yu Qian is the Prince's Shaobao and the Minister of the Ministry of War, there are only two servants in the family, a man and a woman. The man does the heavy work at home, and the woman helps Dong wash up. Shabu Shabu.

"My father-in-law, I went out for inspection in the morning and happened to meet someone who killed a big insect. My son-in-law bought all the bones and brought them to my father-in-law's house to make a paste. Eating it is good for your health!" Zhu Ji sat down and faced Yu Qian. said.

"Why spend this money? I and your mother-in-law are in good health!" Yu Qian said casually after hearing this.

"It's not worth a lot of money. Recently, my son-in-law also made a lot of money. Of course, father-in-law, don't worry, the money came from the right place. My son-in-law and a few people started a small business together, and my father-in-law also knows it. , With this salary now, it is difficult to support a family!" Zhu Ji sat there and spoke to Yu Qian truthfully.

When Yu Qian heard this, he frowned, which was what Zhu Ji expected.

"My father-in-law, my son-in-law is in the soap and soap business. I do it with Wang Zhi of the Wang family. We get the goods from the soap workshop and sell them in Tianjin and other places. The soap and soap are very easy to sell. My son-in-law has no If you use your authority to make money, your father-in-law can rest assured!" Zhu Ji quickly explained to Yu Qian that he came over today to explain the matter, mainly because he was afraid that Yu Qian would scold him when he found out.

Yu Qian came up with a plan one day and asked: "The soap really belongs to Wang Ying, and is the queen behind it? Do you know how much profit it will make?"

Zhu Ji nodded quickly and said: "Yes! My son-in-law doesn't know how much their profit is. He sends it to Tianjin and other places, and the profit is about [-] yuan per piece. He thinks that their profit must be It won’t get any lower than this!”

"Oh, are you sure it has something to do with the Queen? Did Wang Ying come up with this matter? Old man Wang Ying knows that a martial artist can do this?" Yu Qian came over with a teacup and placed it in front of Zhu Ji, who was also opposite him He sat down and looked at Zhu Ji and asked.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law came here and wanted to talk to you about this!" Zhu Ji said, standing up, reaching the door of the study, opening the door and finding no one outside, so he returned to his seat and sat down.

Yu Qian was also confused by Zhu Ji's scene, so he allowed Zhu Ji to do this, and he just sat there quietly, waiting for Zhu Ji to speak.
