Chapter 418 There are always people who want to cause trouble
There are no secrets in the Zhou palace. The discussion between the ministers and the emperor spread throughout Kyoto on the second day.
In response, the price of lard in Kyoto rose by three cents.
There are many complaints in the market.
This scene seems to confirm the guesses of the adults.
For a time, General Gu Nanxi's operations in Yunzhou became the focus of attention again.
Whether it is a teahouse or a wine shop, the guests are drinking fruit wine and talking about the matter. It seems that they are out of date if they don't express a word or two.
The students in the academy felt that the spring scenery was so bright that they could not live up to it, so they went to the outskirts of Beijing in small groups for a spring outing.
Spring water and spring ponds are full, and spring grass grows.
Spring people drink spring wine, and spring birds make spring sounds.
Students from Baichuan Academy were invited by Geng Silang to go on an outing in Gengjia Village.
The spring weather is just right, so naturally the students cannot sit in a carriage that is wrapped on all sides.
Bulk carts carrying a group of students wearing scholar's robes walked through the streets.
Occasionally, when students from two colleges meet, they will nod to each other and even recite poems to each other, causing passers-by to stop and applaud.
"Little sister, take a break first. Don't look at your account books all day long. Give yourself a day to relax once in a while!"
Su Xuanming looked at Su Yunyan helplessly.
Other students were enjoying the beautiful spring scenery, but Su Yunyan was holding a ledger in her left hand and an abacus in her right hand, sitting cross-legged on a cart, concentrating and not being affected by external objects.
Su Yunyan started working with both hands at the same time, the account books were turned over and the abacus was moved noisily like a torrential rain.
She said without raising her head: "No, my mother-in-law entrusts me with such an important matter, so I can't let it slip! Brother, you don't have to worry about me, just concentrate on reading your book!"
"Alas." Su Xuanming sat down next to Su Yunyan and helped Su Yunyan, "Originally, I wanted you to come here to relax, but I didn't expect that it would actually cause trouble for you."
Su Yunyan: "Brother, I study hard day and night and work hard, so I should combine work and rest. For me, when I can see the money coming in, this is rest!"
Su Xuanming did not say anything, but helped As Su Yunyan settled the accounts, she became more and more frightened.
The profits of this fruit wine are terrifying!
No wonder the Holy Lord and the Chaotang covet the fruit wine!
Su Xuanming frowned tightly: "Little sister, do you still plan to expand the production of fruit wine?"
"Hmm!"
Su Xuanming's heart dropped: "I see that the profit from this drink is already big enough, why should I continue?"
Su Yunyan often travels to Yunzhou, Naturally, he knows more about the situation in Yunzhou.
Su Yunyan sighed: "Because the expenses in Yunzhou are greater!"
Su Xuanming pursed his lips. It seemed that Yunzhou's financial situation was worse than he imagined. Seriously, I couldn't help but feel ashamed when I thought about writing to my grandma asking for money.
Su Xuanming glanced at the students who were high-spirited and talking loudly, and made a decision in his heart. When everyone was walking through the south gate, preparing to leave the city, they happened to encounter students from Songshan Academy.
"Hey, isn't this our famous Su Dalang? If you don't go and help your mother collect money, why are you thinking about playing around?" Li Shaoyan fanned his fan and looked sideways at Su Xuanming, his whole face The word "provocative" was written on it.
The students of Baichuan Academy suppressed the smiles on their faces, and stared straight at Li Shaoyan with straight faces!
He is the first person I met today to find trouble!
Su Xuanming put the account books in order and looked at Su Yunyan worriedly.
Seeing that she was completely immersed in settling accounts and didn't take Li Shaoyan to heart at all, the corners of Su Xuanming's lips curled up.
“Brother Shaoyan, you are wearing a purple gold crown with hair tied with jewels on your head, two dragons grabbing gold beads on your forehead, and two-color gold butterfly-pierced red arrow sleeves. , they must have been given by others, not General Longwu. "General Longwu's salary is enough to support a large family, but he cannot afford such a luxurious life."
Su Xuanming looked sincere, as if he meant what he said. The truth, nothing else.
Li Shaoyan's sarcasm froze on his face. He knew very well whether his father had collected money that he shouldn't have collected, but how could he show his timidity in front of everyone?
“You don’t need to care about my family. At least my father did not compete with the people for profit, unlike your mother, who made the people unable to afford lard and made the people suffer.”
The onlookers who were attracted by this movement began to talk in low voices when they heard this.
“What they are talking about is that General Gu Nanxi bought lard on a large scale in order to sell fruit wine?”
“Exactly this! Although I don’t know what the relationship between fruit wine and lard is, But the price of lard in Kyoto has indeed increased as a result.”
“I’ll be the first to buy it. It’s only 60 cents per catty. If you buy three jins or more, it’s still two cents cheaper. If I ask today, it’s already 65 cents. No bargaining.”
“Oh. , everything happening in Yunzhou can affect us in Kyoto, I can’t imagine how high the price of lard in Yunzhou will rise!”
"Hey, we are the poor people who will be affected in the end anyway."
Su Yunyan closed the ledger, put down the abacus, stood up, and scanned the crowd first. Seeing that the discussion had subsided, Then he said loudly.
“Yunzhou’s purchase of lard in large quantities is not a bad thing!”
“For you, of course it’s not a bad thing!” Li Shaoyan snorted coldly, “You are the ones who benefit. The Hou Mansion, but it is the common people who pay more money and pay for the high oil prices.”
Su Yunyan shook her head regretfully: "I believe that as Li Langjun, the first student of Songshan Academy, he should be able to govern the world. I never expected that your knowledge is nothing more than this. If you can't understand this I’ll go back and ask your father for the reason.”
Li Shaoyan was unconvinced: "Are you trying to make things up? In fact, you don't know the benefits yourself!"
Su Yunyan clicked her tongue twice: "I'm not your aunt, what should I teach you? ? The apprentice has to work respectfully for the master for three years. If the student wants to enter the academy, why should I tell you? "
The next words were spoken to the other onlookers: "As for my grandma, how am I doing? The sky is watching, the earth is watching, and the people in Yunzhou are also watching. Anyway, as far as I know, Yunzhou is good Very good. Think about it, everyone, have I ever done anything to disgrace the people of the world?"
After saying this, Su Yunyan sat down and continued to take stock without even looking at Li Shaoyan.
"Let's go! Summer insects can't be talked about. Don't let some people with pinkeye disturb our fun!" Su Xuanming shouted.
The students of Baichuan Academy were all smiling, as if nothing happened just now. When they passed by Li Shaoyan and others, not a single one of them even glanced at them.
This kind of ignorance is the most uncomfortable.
Li Shaoyan clenched his fists tightly, with unconcealable malice in his eyes! Oh, wait and see how arrogant these two brothers and sisters will be when Gu Nanxi is backlashed by the people!
