Poor family mother and son

Chapter 649

There were a lot of people staring at the Chu family's caravan. As soon as the caravan appeared, news about how many four-horse horses there were, how deep the ruts were, how many people were in the caravan, etc. quickly spread everywhere.

Most of the bigwigs in the business circle who inquired about these news, but among these bigwigs, there was no Meng family.

The Meng family collapsed.

After not hearing from Meng Chun in the twelfth lunar month of last year, after finding the cargo ship leased by Meng Chun, a large group of boatmen at the bow proved that the Meng family suspected that they were unwilling to overload the ship and did not rent their ship. After contacting the housekeeper responsible for receiving the goods under the fourth prince, he collapsed after getting a negative answer and a series of cursing.

Meng's family gathered in groups, demanding dividends for the year, withdrawal of shares, and family division. Meng Xiansheng could not support himself and asked several friends and families for help.

Today, Xiaobao returns to Songjiang Mansion after transporting the goods, and finds that public opinion has changed greatly and minimally from the past.

It is said to be very small, because Songjiang Mansion has the title of "Four Elegant Prefectures", and there are many of them;
It is said to be extremely large because "the head of the four elegance" has become Chu Cong.

Xiao Sining had just received Xiaobao at the ferry, and told him the news, Xiaobao was a little confused: "Who is the master of the jade, who is the 'first'?"

Xiao Sining shook his head: "I think it should be that the Meng family has collapsed, no one wants to be this early bird, and no one wants to give up the way to get benefits from Voss, so let's just create some public opinion to set you up;
Think about it, the Meng family used to exchange iron ingots for jade to control more than half of Daxuan’s jade transactions. Now that you can get jade from the people of Voss, it means that your relationship with the Voss people should be more solid. ?
If you want to get a share of the pie, hold your stinky feet first, isn't it logical? "

Xiao Bao took off his shoes and slapped Xiao Sining in the face: "Oh, I have a bad temper! Does it stink? Does it stink?!"

The meaning is clear, Xiao Sining wanted to say that this kind of rumor might be released by that "Sanya", and he intended to make friends.

After all, they ate and drank together at the Lotus Watching Festival before, and the friendship on the surface was not bad.

Xiaobao stopped making trouble after a while, put on his shoes, and continued to ask, "Any more news?"

Xiao Sining said: "Those three companies are all gathering people. They want to go to the Voss Jade Mine. They probably have to come to you after they know you show up here."

Xiaobao: "Don't even think about it! I'm going to use the caravan to bring it in by myself! My mother's mine doesn't need them!"

Xiao Sining also said: "I don't want them to take advantage of it either. If they go, you can see how many jades they pick up, and they have to put them in their pockets;

And again, let me tell you something. At the beginning of the year, the emperor issued a decree to let the government organize miners to go to Voss. Guess what? "

Xiao Bao: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Sining: "Opposition from top to bottom!"

Xiaobao: "What do you mean from top to bottom?"

Xiao Sining: "The government talks like this: Although the homeland is difficult to leave, the court has a purpose, and it should be concerned about the country first and then worry about itself, and hope that the people know the importance and priorities...

Did you know that as soon as this kind of mobilization notice was posted, not to mention other places, there was almost a civil uprising in Youzhou Prefecture!
Ordinary people keep saying that they can't afford to live, so why don't they let them die in their own fields?Why worry about the country first, who will worry about it when everyone is dead?If you want them to go, it's okay, give them food, and they can only walk when they are full!
As a result, the government immediately came out to appease, saying that Mr. Chu won a three-year jade mining right for the court, which is very rare, and the common people are needed to help pick jade;

As a result, the common people were even more agitated. What does it have to do with the common people whether she surnamed Chu fights for the jade mine?Can the jade be quarried and distributed to the common people?

Her surname Chu just wanted to extract oil from these ordinary people who couldn't afford to live, so that they could work for her and earn money before they starved to death! "

Blue veins popped up on Xiaobao's forehead. The child suffered a lot these days and became very thin. The veins looked extremely glaring: "Mother was sent to Youzhou Mansion because of this? The emperor wanted to use my mother to block them." mouth?"

Xiao Sining shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case. The locust plague in Youzhou Prefecture was the worst last year, and there was almost no harvest. The imperial court sent your mother there, maybe to show her how to plan the farming?
Anyway, what the Youzhou Mansion said was that the people did not want to leave their homes, and the government couldn't bear the hunger and suffering of the people. They were trying to comfort them, so they just didn't want to go. "

Xiao Bao patted the table: "Fart plan! Is that something that mother should take care of? That's the government office's business!"

Xiao Sining said: "The emperor wouldn't use the boss to block their mouths. Youzhou Prefecture is next to the capital. It is estimated that the emperor wants her to go and see if she can find some reason to raise the local tax;
Look, didn't you and the boss bring all the Shanhui Mansion in Jizhou?

Let’s not talk about this, let’s talk about going to Worth to pick jade. Lu Chuan and the others will bring back those stones in the next year. They don’t need to be polished too finely. The first wave of shops that have just arrived at Mrs. Hong’s shops are sold out, and the capital is fried. up;
You know Mrs. Hong's shop, she has brought up the women from the families of generals in Kyoto in recent years;

Those women in the back house have money in their hands, and they set aside one or two places for their dowry shops, not only in the capital, but also at their natal home, as well as the shops for the dowry of their daughters;
Now the number of "Fuqing Jewelry" has reached twelve, and there are several state capitals!
And in New Lunzhou, the shop that Mrs. Song and you jointly opened is also sold out, and she is urging for goods. Just wait and see, now that you know whether you have come back to her place, she will torture you to death! "

The stones fished out of the river really don’t need to be polished too much. What abrasive tools can be more moist than nature?

Many stones look good when they are directly embedded with gold and silver, and there are many colors and the price is not high, so they are very popular with ladies in the boudoir.

Xiao Sining continued: "It's getting far away again, now Youzhou Prefecture and Jishun Prefecture know that you can mine jade so easily, and they are starting to clamor for the common people to go to Voss!"

Xiaobao asked: "Are they willing to let the people suffer again this time?"

Xiao Sining sneered, and said: "Hmph, people said, under the government's persistent persuasion and teaching, the common people can still turn their hearts to the imperial court, expressing that the summer harvest will rush to work, and then go to support the needs of the Voss jade mine."

Xiaobao was about to laugh angrily: "They want the common people to plow in the spring, so they won't let them go, and then they want to go after seeing that they can make money, and the spring plowing is over? It's too late! Let them wait for the autumn harvest in peace!
The two sides of the beautiful words say that the fault is all the fault of the mother and the common people. They are all good officials who speak well?

Go as soon as the summer harvest is over, just in time for autumn, which is the best time to pick jade?After more than a month of harvesting, it was frozen and just came back, and then it will come out again during spring plowing next year?
A total of three years, every year they want to occupy the best month?

Wherever people are born, the imperial court will definitely give preferential treatment to that place. If the officials take the benefits, the common people will pay a month's work and spend half a year on the road. Out, the money my mother hand out, the abacus is very good! "
