King Duan himself was scared, he would make money from his own time.

When the first emperor was here, he was like a giant rat, and the other brothers fought like black-eyed chickens, although he didn't know how to intervene, but how could he not think about it in his heart?

Everyone thinks he is a wreck, but he knows that he is making a fortune in silence.

Go back more than ten years, at that time the first emperor was still there, he had not left Beijing to go to the fiefdom, and there was no division between the princes, at most there was only the eldest and youngest, and everyone showed their magical powers.

He firmly held the position of Lianghuai Salt Administration.

The twenty-seventh Yan Zheng is his person, and those who passed through his hands and were dedicated to King Duan, to say the least, had two or three million taels of silver.

It is precisely because of this that he can live a prosperous life.

Later, the first emperor died, Emperor Longqing succeeded to the throne, and the salt administration was also changed, but his means of making money from the salt administration yamen were very familiar, and all the connections were readily available in front of him.

His henchmen are about to step down, so he asks his henchmen to nominate a new person to make up for it, and if he can't make up for his own people, he will let his henchmen take care of some good salt merchants before leaving.

The term of office is done, and the people have not yet taken office, so let the salt merchants give the money of filial piety first.

Throughout the year, there are always various names to give money to the salt administration----- sons give birth to sons, marry concubines, even a dog in the family gives birth to a puppy, and those salt merchants are eager to make a cage made of gold and send it in.

The wealth is moving, not to mention that he has already been pinched by the wrong place----- and he has a number, so that those salt merchants have additional records, and when the time comes, he will be able to pinch these salt politicians in turn and let them put more salt.

One ring after another, Yan Zheng is greedy, but he takes more here.

In fact------, since Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, he has gradually reined in, and he dare not be so greedy anymore, at least he doesn't dare to reach out anymore about the selection of salt politicians, but he just uses the convenience of his connections to support a salt merchant, and by holding the handle of those salt politics in his own hands, he deducts more salt to lead it out.

But even this is a lot of income.

He hasn't been discovered for so many years, but when he saw that Emperor Longqing had given birth to a son, he thought about it and suddenly made a fuss.

He glared, clenched his fists, took a step back and sat down on the chair, and said in a daze: "It's been collected for so many years, and you know what our palace is like in the fiefdom." ”

Princess Duan's throat was stalked, thinking of their feudal mansions, the regulations were almost less than the palace, and her face was pale, and then she couldn't shake like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, and fell heavily to the ground.

"What can I do about this......" As soon as she opened her mouth, her tears couldn't help but fall down like beads with broken threads, and she was as frightened as a bird: "This time the investigation is strict......

King Duan himself has been holding his heart for so many days, since he knew about this, he hasn't slept well for more than a month, and now he shook his head with a white face: "It may not have reached that point, hasn't it been found out yet?" ”

There have been so many salt administrations, maybe you will find out the first emperor, right?

At that time, the old ministers more or less had to look at the face of the first emperor......

He comforted himself, but in fact, he was so impatient that he didn't know what to do, after thinking about it again, there was no other way, urging his wife: "Go to the queen's palace and walk around more...... " He gritted his teeth, and only then said: "If there is really no way, go to the Fang family and find the old lady of the Fang family......

Princess Duan entered the palace more and more attentively, and every time she saw the little prince, she would say a basket of auspicious words.

Queen Fang didn't show any abnormality, she was still as gentle as ever, and when she talked about her children, she said backwardly: "You have been idle recently." After that, he quipped: "Don't worry, there is the Ministry of Rites and the Holy Lord watching, this person will not make a mistake in the selection." ”

She was talking about choosing a concubine for the princes.

In other words, the princess from the front end would naturally knock on the side and couldn't stop inquiring, but until now, she didn't have the heart to ask a word, and she talked with a smile on her face for a while, and then she mustered up the courage to mention the matter of the salt case: "This matter is troublesome..... Originally, I wanted to make a big deal for the little prince, but I delayed the full moon of the little prince. ”

Otherwise, according to Emperor Longqing's temperament, the full moon of the little prince in the first two months will be a big deal anyway.

Empress Fang shook her head with a smile: "He is a small person, so he shouldn't be too pampered." ”

But he didn't mention half of the salt case.

Princess Duan was so anxious that her lips were chapped, and even her tongue hurt when she spoke, and she left the palace in fright.

Queen Fang saw that the water and rice did not enter, but she couldn't sit still, and after thinking about it, she still went to Fang's house.

Old Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Fang saw her once, and their attitude was very respectful and they did enough courtesy.

Princess Duan's heart was light, but when she asked again, she still couldn't find anything.

She was busy for a while, but she found nothing, she became more and more like a fly without a head, she was in a hurry to bump around, grabbed King Duan and bit her lip and asked him: "So far, you have a good word with me, did you offend the Fang family and caused this disaster?" Otherwise, this matter hasn't implicated you yet, why don't you ....... first?"

Let's talk about the Fang family first?

Duanwang's fist clenched and put it away, put it and clenched it, and finally hummed, and Tie Qing said the reason with a blushing face.

Embarrassing Zeng Yao is a rule that has existed since then.

The salt politicians are in control of the fate of the salt merchants, but the salt merchants also give silver to the salt politicians, and their posture is naturally sufficient.

However, Huang Bingqing, who was in the previous term, originally wanted to stay in office for three years, and promised the salt merchants a lot of advance salt leads, but he was squeezed out of the errand by the Fang family.....

Only then did the salt merchants think about giving Zeng Yao a dismissal.

Who knew that Zeng Yao was so unenlightened, in fact, as long as he promised the salt merchants to send more salt to lure it out, he pinched the salt lead, could it be that he couldn't make the salt merchants bow their heads?

But he was just a stunned young man, and relying on the power of the Fang family, he didn't know how to break this matter.

After stabbing the sky, it was not Zeng Yao who could collect the tail, and took out the radish and brought out the mud......

Princess Duan didn't understand yet, but she knew that Zeng Yao was the in-law of the Fang family.

She looked up at King Duan blankly: "Then you let me go to the Fang family....."

King Duan smiled miserably: "If it really comes to that point, I have to sacrifice all my family wealth and furniture to save my life." ”

Only then did Princess Duan understand that if this matter was implicated, King Duan would never be good, he wanted the Fang family to take the money to eliminate the disaster for him, and save the life of the family through Queen Fang's mouth.
