Chapter 1057 It’s better to make money faster by confiscating homes!

"What's the matter with Uncle Yongding?"

Zhao Zongquan's words choked back what Qi Heng wanted to say. The young master looked slightly embarrassed and could only go back.

"Your Majesty, there has been an overflow of illegal salt in Beijing recently, and the people can be said to be suffering. After careful investigation by the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities, they finally joined forces with Yangzhou Government Office, Xiangjun Water Transport and other departments!"

"In the end, the illegal salt dealers headed by the Bai family in Yangzhou were eliminated, and countless illegal salt dealers were seized in Yangzhou and Bianjing. The quantity was simply shocking!"

"Although the specific amount has not been calculated yet, according to rough calculations, it can at least feed a million people in Beijing for half a month!"

Yuan Wenshao's purpose is very simple, that is, to publicly legalize retaliation, so that he will not be able to gossip, and will not be afraid to encourage others.

The big shots in the court, even the emperor and the queen mother, were quite disapproving of this matter. After all, a mere merchant was still selling private salt, so naturally they would not take it seriously.

But Zhao Zongquan still encouraged him, after all, this can be regarded as an achievement.

"Well, we did a good job at this time. We can later sell the confiscated salt to the common people at a reduced price, which can be regarded as benefiting the public!"

"I sincerely follow His Majesty's will, but this is not the result of this achievement alone. I would like to thank the new deputy commander of the palace, Gu Tingye, the Marquis of Ningyuan County!"

"It's so easy for you, kid. You just happened to go to my place to have a bar. You can also take some things back with you~"

Of course, Yuan Wenshao's work was not in vain, and it was time to divide the spoils. As the saying goes, there are still a few nails in the broken ship, let alone a salt merchant like the Bai family.

Then he turned his head and ordered to the steward next to him: "Uncle Zhong, the monthly salary of our servants has been doubled this month!"

"Well, it's rare that at such a young age, Marquis Gu can understand right and wrong so well, pass on my will, and reward Marquis with a pair of Ruyi jade and ten pieces of Sichuan brocade..."

The Yangzhou government office, the Yangzhou Xiang army, the Wucheng Army and Horse Division, the Cao Yun government office, and the two families of Yuan Wenshao and Gu Tingye all had a lot to eat.

This was a stab in their lungs. They originally planned to consult Gu Tingye about this matter, but now that everything has come to light, he was right and he has merit.

When he got off the court, Gu Tingye smiled brightly. After a few words with Prince Huan and others, he saw Yuan Wenshao coming out and hurried over.

"Zhongxuan, thank you~"

That night, looking at the more than 40,000 copper coins newly put into the warehouse, Yuan Wenshao smiled and nodded with satisfaction. This was nearly a quarter of his extra wealth.

"Gudong!" Xiao Qin, who was sitting on the couch, swallowed.

At the same time, in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, when Xiao Qin learned that the Bai family was gone, she was so shocked that she immediately opened her mouth.

As soon as Yuan Wenshao said these words, several censors who were attached to the Queen Mother, including Qi Heng, felt itchy with hatred.

"Thank you, Lord, for the reward~" Shen Zhong responded with a smile...

He said with emotion: "This is the fastest way to make money by confiscating a house!"

"Xiang Jia, say it again!"

"Madam, the Bai family was ransacked. Except for the five families who did not feel sorry for Erlang, all the other families were exiled, and some even had their heads beheaded!"

"This must be the handiwork of the Marquis, otherwise Yuan Wenshao would work so hard. Do you think he would find out what we planned?"

After saying this to Mammy Xiang, she shuddered, because she had been plotting against Gu Tingye. What if he was discovered and cut with a knife?

"The Bai family is said to be related to him, but after Gu Hou heard about this matter, he was selfless. The minister must handle it strictly and strictly, and must not violate the court's laws because of personal affairs!"

Even though she had thousands of plans in her mind, when faced with playing cards that didn't follow common sense and ransacking her home and being exiled at every turn, she ran out of ideas for a while.

I reached out for the tea cup intentionally, but the trembling cup fell to the ground. I was so frightened that I developed a high fever that night.

After lying in bed for more than a month, seeing that he was dying, Gu Tingye pretended to be a filial son and came over every day to take a look. However, his appearance did not seem to show concern, but rather to take pleasure in others' misfortune. Sometimes you want something, but God doesn't let you get it. Xiao Qin managed to survive in the end, which made Gu Tingye angry. He kept complaining to God in private with Yuan Wenshao.

"Zhongxuan, this is really a good man who doesn't pay for his life, and the harm will last for thousands of years!"

However, although Xiao Qin's illness was cured, it also lasted for a long time.

……

A year passed in the blink of an eye, and Yuan Wenshao had another son and a daughter, both born to the mother-in-law in the backyard. His son Yuan Jing'an was born to Qi Yunniang, and his daughter Yuan Jingxuan's mother was his former personal maid Chun He.

"Officer, hurry up!"

"What's the rush, madam~"

The couple got on the carriage with their children, and now they were going to the Sheng family. Brother Quan, the son of brother-in-law Changbai, had just turned one full moon a few days ago. There was a lot of talk at the full moon banquet that day, so the sisters made an agreement to go there together today. Congratulations.

In the Shou'an Hall, Yuan Wenshao greeted Mrs. Sheng and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang, and hugged Changbai's son Quan Geer. After that, he went to the front yard to chat with his father-in-law Sheng Hong.

"Brother-in-law!"

"Hmm~"

Facing Liang Han's greeting, Yuan Wenshao just nodded lightly.

The four sons-in-law of the Sheng family, except for himself who missed work, Gu Tingye and Wen Yanjing both had official positions and were so busy that they would have to wait a while before they could come over.

Liang Han had nothing to do. He was the heiress of the Earl's Mansion and spent all day hanging out in brothels.

There was nothing to talk about with Sheng Hong. Although it had been more than a year since the last incident, the two of them still had a grudge in their hearts.

So it was Liang Han who was complimenting Sheng Hong, and the father-in-law and son-in-law were chatting in a lively manner, while Yuan Wenshao was sipping tea by himself, and the two of them would just reply to each other.

After I was bored here for an unknown amount of time, Dong Rong, the steward of Sheng Mansion, walked in.

"My lord, my two uncles, Miss Six sent someone to send a message, saying that the banquet has been arranged, and you can go over and have a meal!"

Sheng Hong, who was talking endlessly with his son-in-law, felt a little unfinished after hearing what he said.

"Liu Lang, Zhong Xuan, let's talk when we have time. Let's go over to eat first. We won't wait for Chang Bai and Ting Ye. They are busy with endless things. There's no telling when they can come back~"

"Okay, father-in-law, please!"

In the Wei Ruixuan dining room in the backyard, because it was a family banquet, there were no separate seats. Everyone sat down at the long table, and Yuan Wenshao was naturally next to Hua Lan.

While eating, I realized something was wrong. Mo Lan, who was opposite him, gave Liang Han a look. The two of them seemed to have some plan.

"Father-in-law, I heard that the official family went to pay homage to King Shu a few days ago!"

"Well, this is also human nature. Even if the official family is now on the Ninth Five-Year Plan, they are still children after all, and they should be filial."

Sheng Hong's words were the beginning. Afterwards, Liang Han and Mo Lan sang together and actually wanted to perform a ritual for Lin Sushuang and enshrine the ranking to Yuqing Temple.

Although Mo Lan's tea-smelling look was annoying, it had nothing to do with her. She would serve whatever she wanted, so Yuan Wenshao didn't interrupt and continued to sit there and eat the food.

But as Wang Ruofu was contradicted by Liang Han, Hua Lan said a few words about her mother's injustice, and Mo Lan made irresponsible remarks again, Yuan Wenshao silently put down his chopsticks, his expression becoming colder.

To be continued...
