After the villains heard my voice, they all lost their composure.

"Have you heard that a great person has come to Yongcheng, and now everyone is watching."

Someone in the restaurant started talking about the latest news in the city after having a few drinks, "You just came back from outside. The prince and princess have been here for several days. The weather in our Yongcheng is about to change."

Everyone drank and shook their heads, "I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."

Their Yongcheng city looks good, but it's smoky. The wealthy families are exploiting each other more than the others. But which official who comes here doesn't leave rich and wealthy?

Who was the last one?

There were only three mule carts when they arrived, and twenty horse carts when they left. I don’t know how much they picked up and left.

"Shh, don't risk your life. You dare to say anything."

The people who were talking quickly changed the topic. Yan Muan soon heard these remarks from Luo Hui's mouth. He just smiled and said nothing more. Seeing that the time was almost up, he took Yongcheng to watch the theater again. Yongchang Risking one's life to accompany a gentleman, I guess tonight will be another night of overwhelm and lack of energy.

"A gift to the prince and princess."

The three masters of the Yong family appeared at just the right time. Just when Yan Muan and Yong Chang were leaving the restaurant, they stepped forward to say hello without giving Zhang Yuanwai a chance.

Yong Chang's face was expressionless, and Yan Mu'an nodded, "You three are eating here too?"

Mr. Yong Sanye smiled and said, "I'll discuss it with Foreign Minister Zhang if I have something to do."

"Ah."

Since we need to employ people, we naturally need to give them some face. Yan Mu'an sent an invitation to the three of them to go to the theater together. The three of them were naturally overjoyed and immediately left Zhang Yuanwai and followed Yan Mu'an.

Yueyin Pavilion is the largest theater in Yongcheng. New plays are launched every three months. The decoration is exquisite and the stage is large. A well bath is specially built. Even if you sit far away, you can still hear clearly what is happening on the stage. What a song.

When a few people arrived, the night's play was about to start. The waiter didn't know Yan Mu'an and Yong Chang, but he knew the three Yong brothers. When they saw the people coming, they quickly arranged the best seats. After sitting down, Yan Mu'an took on the responsibility of playing with the few people. The burden of speaking, "Today I have benefited from three people."

"Don't dare."

Mr. Yong handed over his hand and said, "It is a blessing for us three brothers to be able to watch the theater with the prince and princess."

At this time, the warm-up people on the stage quickly left, and the show was about to begin.

As drum music sounded, Yan Muan's eyes fell on the stage, and he said, "How was the discussion between the three of you and that boss Zhang?"

Mr. Yong Sanye was a little embarrassed, "The Zhang family is very concerned about the food supply and they haven't let go yet."

The tea cup that Yan Mu'an picked up was put down before it was brought to her mouth. The curtain on the stage slowly opened, and a beautiful woman slowly came on the stage, saying, "I heard that the Zhang family has a lot of land, up to tens of thousands of acres, and most of it." It’s still fertile land, but the grain tax they pay every year is only the amount of an ordinary wealthy household, what’s the point in this?”

The three of them were at a loss for words. They knew about the Zhang family's food delivery, and even benefited from it.

Yan Mu'an didn't beat around the bush with them, his eyes still fell on the prince, "Although the three of them don't have titles or official positions, they are one and the same family as the emperor. In Yongcheng, not to mention covering the sky with one hand, they are also top-notch existences. The Zhang family's Don’t you say you don’t know something?”

He glanced sideways at the heads of the three of them, then turned back to look at the stage. What was on the stage was that Qingmei had received the news about Zhuma High School, and her family had begun to make arrangements for her wedding, and she was happily married.

Third Master Yong gritted his teeth and sold the Zhang family without hesitation, "Everyone knows that the Zhang family has a lot of land, but only a few thousand acres fall on the Zhang family. Every year, the land is paid according to these thousands of acres." Taxes." "Part of these thousands of acres are in the name of farmers, and the taxes and grains are passed on to farmers. Some of them are given to people who don't have to pay taxes, and only certain benefits are given."

"Other properties are all in the name of the temple, and the temple does not need to pay taxes. The people behind the largest Puji Temple within ten miles are the Zhang family."

"The Zhang family's opening of the temple is equivalent to controlling the monks. If the monks talk nonsense, they will suffer from poverty in the future. It is precisely because of this that the Zhang family can stand firm and become stronger and stronger."

Yan Mu'an raised his eyebrows and glanced sideways at Yong Chang. Such a thing could happen, which shows how weak the imperial court's control over the local area was and how thoroughly these officials had been corrupted.

Southern Qi is difficult.

"Do you confirm this?"

Third Master Yong nodded heavily, and then thinking that no one was looking at him, he spoke again, "It's absolutely true, the Zhang family gives us gifts every year, and we also get married to each other. Although the Zhang family didn't say it explicitly, it's not wrong. "

Yan Mu'an thought about it for a while and then asked: "How many fields are there under the temple?"

Mr. Yong Sanye said he didn’t know the details, but it was no less than 10,000 acres. “The Zhang family also has land in other places. Maybe they also used this method to avoid taxes and grain.”

"Do you know where the Zhang family's food is stored?"

Master Yong San shook his head and said he didn't know, but Master Yong Jiu said, "It's in Puji Temple. The back hill of Puji Temple is almost hollowed out. It is where the Zhang family stores grain. As long as the Zhang family can afford it, You can buy it with money, and foreigners often come to buy grain."

Since he has the Zizhu Gang, it is naturally easier for him to know such things.

On the stage, the bride, wearing a wedding dress, received a farewell letter, and the bamboo horse went to cling to the powerful. The bride cried so hard that her voice would have been particularly clear if it weren't for the pillars of the Yueyin Tower.

"Master Jiu's information is quite good."

Yan Mu'an turned around and said with a faint smile: "I wonder if Lord Jiu can swallow up the Zhang family without any blood and change the Zhang family's surname to Yong?"

She said word by word: "It's just to change the Zhang family's name, but the Zhang family's fields and food must not be damaged, including the Zhang family's secret transactions must be preserved."

The three brothers' eyes met and they didn't answer for a while. It would be easy to kill Zhang Yuanwai, but it would be difficult to replace the Zhang family. Yan Mu'an said again, "Take over the Zhang family, replace it, and let the land and grain be owned by the Zhang family." The sales and sales are all used by the prince, and the prince can reward you with a title, and from now on you can also walk in the court."

"Money is an external thing. I don't think the three of you will be able to spend all the money you have accumulated in your lifetime. If you have a title and are respected by others, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Turning to look at Yong Chang, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After listening to the whole process, Yongchang responded with a "huh" sound.

You must know that what Yan Mu'an said was reflected in the hearts of the three Yong family members. Even though they seemed to be quite impressive in Yongcheng, they felt guilty. They usually show off their power, but when they meet a serious person like Yongchang, The royal son and the powerful prince could only nod and bow.

They are already extremely rich, so they are even more eager to be respected by others. They urgently need a title, even a virtual title!
