The princess motorcade slowly entered Chang'an City and headed straight for the Imperial City.
In the car, Yuzhang was preoccupied. His mind was filled with Qin Huaidao's conditions, which were not too difficult but too simple. He felt it was unfair to Qin Huaidao. Jinyang was also thinking about something and remained silent.
When the two of them entered the imperial city, a servant came over to guide them, and they went straight to the Ganlu Palace.
As soon as I entered the palace, a hearty voice came: "Hahaha, my two precious daughters are back. Come on, let me see if they endure hardship in Qinjiazhuang?"
"My son, I pay my respects to my father." The two of them quickly saluted.
"Well, no gifts. I look good, but I'm a little thinner. Sizi, how do you feel?"
"Back to my father, my son has been fine for a long time. Chao Yilang said that there is a brick kiln in the Qin family village and the air is not good, which will cause gas diseases, so he asked me to come back."
"He has a conscience. Tell me, what does this kid want?" Li Er asked with satisfaction.
Yuzhang was about to say something, but when he saw Jinyang giving him a look, he swallowed his words and heard Jinyang say sweetly: "Father, what request is more important than Jinyang's illness?"
"That's not the case. As long as I can cure Si Zi's illness, I will grant you any big request."
When Yuzhang heard this, he suddenly realized that Jinyang was playing hard to get and was preparing to make demands. This was probably to make the lion open his mouth and ask for more benefits for Qin Huaidao, and he immediately felt relieved.
Jin Yang said with a sad face: "Father, but Chao Yilang said that as long as he is granted permission to do business, this requirement is too low. Is it possible that Jin Yang's life is not as good as a charter? Although the imperial court stipulates that officials cannot do business, but
Which of the civil and military officials in the entire dynasty does not engage in business? It’s just that they find someone else to hang on to and don’t show up publicly. In my opinion, Chao Yilang did it on purpose.”
"What do you mean?" Li Er was also a little confused, and his thoughts were invisibly led away by Princess Jinyang.
"There are no conditions." Jin Yang explained with a matter-of-fact expression: "Father, Chao Yilang can completely imitate others and just find anyone he trusts and put the business in his name. There is no need to ask for any special permission.
Management is simply a waste of opportunity. Obviously, Chao Yilang didn't want to put forward any conditions, but he didn't want to embarrass his father, so he made this request."
Li Er was a little confused. Although this request was troublesome, after all, it was not child's play for the imperial power to charter a government official to do business. It was against etiquette. Only by becoming a merchant could he engage in business. However, it was not without exception. However, Qin Huaidao found a trustworthy person to name his name.
Come on, there is absolutely no need to waste the opportunity by making this request. What's the fuss about?
At this moment, Li Er felt doubtful and looked at Yu Zhang: "Chao Yilang really said that?"
Yuzhang wanted to say that this was not the case. The royal charter was just incidental, and it might even have been deliberately proposed to veto the Holy Emperor. What he really wanted was to be tax-free for three years. If he had to choose one of the two, he would have to give one, right? He saw the look Jin Yang was throwing at him.
, thinking that there must be a reason for doing this, he nodded and said: "Father, this is indeed the case."
"Look, my father actually doesn't trust Jin Yang and ignores you." Jin Yang looked unhappy.
"Hahaha, it's your father's fault, Si Zi, don't be angry." Li Er smiled awkwardly.
Jinyang changed the subject: "Father, I heard that Lingnan Road is very dangerous. Chao Yilang risked his life to find medicine for me. I am very grateful. A business franchise is not enough to express my gratitude. If the news spreads, there will be
It's a disgrace to the royal family. What's more, Chao Yilang's business is to support the hundreds of people in the Qin family village. I also heard that bricks are burned to build houses for everyone to live in. Every household has one. How much money does this cost? The sons and ministers all count.
But don’t come.”
"Every household?" Li Er naturally knew that Qinjiazhuang was burning bricks, but brick houses were expensive. Thinking of some possibility, his heart sank and he asked: "Brick houses are not cheap. He must make a lot of money from them, right?"
"Father, I misunderstood. I heard that there is no money for the first three years. After three years, it will be deducted from the salary. It only costs ten cents per month, which is only more than one hundred cents a year. After twenty years, it is only two taels of silver.
, the house means everyone comes, Chao Yilang also said that if everyone can’t make money, the deduction will be postponed indefinitely.”
"You can buy a house with two taels of silver, and you will be deducted for twenty years. It's almost free of charge. Are you sure?"
"Of course, the news has spread in Qinjiazhuang, and Chao Yilang did not deny it. Moreover, I also heard that Master Zhuang worked with Chao Yilang, earning five or six hundred wen per month, and taking care of three meals.
If you have meat, isn't this a tip of the hat? Those ministers who only know how to talk are completely different in front of Chao Yilang, especially the boastful Tang Shanshi. Such a minister cannot be treated badly by the emperor. Since he is doing business, why not give it to him?
Let him be tax-free."
At this moment, Yuzhang somewhat understood the gap between himself and Princess Jinyang, so he inadvertently put eye drops on Tang Shanshi, and tried to catch Chao Yilang by describing how pitiful and great Chao Yilang was in order to win the favor of his father, and then treat Chao Yilang
The request was changed to proactive reward, and his temperament changed drastically.
The same meaning, put another way, is completely different in terms of acceptance.
Li Er was a little suspicious, but the woman had to give him face, and said cautiously: "The nobles of the court are the first person to build houses for tenants. Since he is serious, as long as he finds the Luo Han Guo, he will be given a franchise to do business."
The tax exemption cannot last too long, as the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will not agree to it, but I can still do it for five years."
"My son, I would like to express my gratitude to my father." Jin Yang's eyes lit up.
Yu Zhang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. Chao Yilang only proposed three years of tax exemption, but Jin Yang changed the term to five years. After fighting for two more years, he had an explanation. As for finding Luo Han Guo
Rewarding is also the meaning of the title. The imperial court has its own laws and regulations, and rewards must not be awarded without merit.
Thinking of the dangers along the way, Yuzhang reminded: "Father, Chao Yilang has offended some people. I'm afraid it's not safe to go this way. If something happens, won't it delay the imperial sister's medical treatment?"
"Don't worry. My father has made arrangements for this matter. He has ordered Cheng Chumo to lead a team of people to ensure that there is no danger. It is related to my son's condition. How can we be careless?"
"Thank you for your concern, Father." Jin Yang said happily.
Yuzhang also felt relieved and smiled.
…
Early the next morning.
Qin Huaidao rode a horse slowly out of Qinjiazhuang, holding a horse in his hand. There were two packages on the horse's back, one was a bit long, and inside were two forged long knives and some spare clothes.
In another bag were silver and gold cakes, just in case on the road. Next to the saddle were a tiger-headed spear and two maces, both of which were passed down from family.
The stainless steel horse was given to Xue Rengui, so there was no reason to take it out again, and a dog-leg knife was carried close to his body.
As soon as they arrived at the intersection, they saw an army in front of them. They had bright armor, strong momentum, and steady and powerful eyes. They were obviously veterans of hundreds of battles. The leader was Cheng Chumo. Qin Huaidao shouted in surprise: "Brother Cheng, it's so early in the morning.
Yes, are you planning to attack Qinjiazhuang?"
"The Holy One has an order, let the brothers protect you to find Luo Han Guo."
"Are you really not attacking Qinjiazhuang?" Qin Huaidao joked, feeling happy in his heart. Is there such a good thing?
On second thought, Li Er was probably not worried about his own safety, but worried that no one would look for Luo Han Guo if he died. But it was okay, it would save a lot of trouble.
I really don't have any skills, so I decided to go alone, so I wouldn't be afraid to run away if something happened.
For most people, it would only be a drag, but this army is different.
Cheng Chumo also knew that Qin Huaidao was joking, so he pulled the horse's head and said with a smile: "Let's go, the journey is long, winter is coming, and brothers hope to go back as soon as possible."
