Father can be an enemy to the country

Chapter 238: Standing still and attracting rabbits

On the second floor of Jinlianyuan, there is a wine pavilion with the sign "Wulingchun".

While Zhu Di was pouring out flattery, he wrote crookedly on the paper:

‘Fuck, you three old turtle eggs. Setting up such a gold-selling cave is for my own lustful pleasure. ’

"That's right! How much will it cost..." The second brother also urged his brother to reconcile, and wrote unhappily:

‘I’m going to complain about it later. "

'good. ’ Lao Wu wrote.

The third child, who was still in the dark, proudly took the sixth child back to the ground.

"How is it?" Shen Liuniang had already made tea and served it to the two highnesses.

"Yes, it's better than expected." Zhu said happily, "You can hear what's in my heart."

‘Pfft…’ Lao Liu took a sip of tea and almost spit it in his face.

"What's wrong? Am I right?" The third child looked at him in confusion.

"Yes, yes." You can't offend the third brother by being double-dealing and using swords and swords.

"..." The third child didn't see anything interesting, so he coughed and said, "We have a mission. A large number of local officials have come to Beijing recently, and my father asked us to monitor them."

"..." Zhu Zhen and Shen Liuniang looked at Lao San together, waiting for his next words.

"The bottom is gone." Lao San said sarcastically.

"Gone?" Lao Liu said speechlessly: "The local officials who came to Beijing at the end of the year are gone. If I don't make it clear, who are we monitoring? What are we monitoring them for?"

"That's what my father said." Zhu said depressedly: "Maybe he doesn't trust us and is afraid that we will screw him up. He must have arranged for someone else."

King Jin knew that his father had set up many groups of spies at the same time and let them develop independently. After weighing their strengths, they would know who would be the backbone of the future royal spies.

He also knew that if nothing unexpected happened, he would be the future leader of the Royal Secret Agents.

This time it is clear that it is the father's assessment of each group of secret agents. If he cannot make the first contribution like the fourth army's performance, will the father feel that he is not as good as the fourth army? Will his future subordinates also look down on him?

Therefore, His Royal Highness King Jin was very anxious and said to his right-hand man: "We must make the first contribution so that our father can rest assured!"

Then he said to Lao Liu: "Our brother has spent so much money. If we can't spy on anything, wouldn't it be a shame?"

"Third brother, it's you who are embarrassed. I'm still a student." Lao Liu reminded him: "Studying is my job."

At this point in time, Lao Liu vaguely thought of something and didn't really want to wade into this muddy water...

"Then you can bear to see third brother embarrassed?" King Jin was quite soft and said pitifully: "In order to build this Golden Lotus Courtyard, third brother pawned half of your sister-in-law's dowry."

After a pause, he added: "When I become a feudal lord in the future, this will all be your fault."

"Okay." Lao Liu was not just out of friendship, but also because of his heart. In short, he changed his mind again.

"That's great. We brothers are of the same mind, and we are as powerful as gold." The third child happily slapped the sixth child in the face, and then lowered his voice and said:

"Although my father didn't say anything, my eldest brother and I found out that all those officials came to Beijing to file taxes."

"Don't tax filing officials from various places come to Beijing only after the Chinese New Year?" Shen Liu Niang asked strangely.

"They came to Beijing to talk to the South Korean minister." Zhu said in a deep voice.

"The Korean father came to Beijing?" Shen Liuniang couldn't help but exclaimed. Her fear of this name had penetrated into her bones.

"Well, it should be these two days." Zhu said: "Father wants him to officiate the wedding of the fourth child."

"..." Shen Liuniang's expression darkened. It seemed that Mr. Han passed the test again this time.

"Talking about numbers?" Zhu Zhen was naturally not afraid of Li Shan's growth.

"Although the Ming Dynasty has changed the tax system, in fact, it is still the tax-package system of the Yuan Dynasty." Shen Liuniang said very well: "How much tax they collect must be paid to the court and how much must be paid."

"You are so understanding..." Lao Liu looked at Lu Niang with admiration.

"My family in the previous dynasty paid for half of the tea tax on silk from Jiangnan." Shen Liu Niang said the most embarrassing words in a flat tone.

It's a pity that in front of these two people, I still can't hang myself up.

"Then why do we have to talk about numbers every year?" Lao San asked.

"Because the imperial court wants to collect more taxes, the ministers and ministers also want to eat more food and offerings, and the local government also wants to keep more for themselves." Shen Liuniang explained:

"The imperial court has its own expenses, the prime minister has his own expenses, and local governments have their own local difficulties, so they have to talk about the numbers every year. If they don't talk about it, they will be short of money..."

"That's it." The two brothers were taught.

"It seems that my father is determined to investigate these people." Zhu Mo said, "This time everyone will show their special abilities. We must catch a few big fish!"

"Then we have to lure them to Jinlianyuan first." Shen Liuniang said worriedly: "But a place like ours, even if it's half the price, is not something Zuo Er can afford to come to those places, right?"

Jinlianyuan is not the only one, all places in the song are high-consumption places for the rich and powerful.

"That's true. If they don't come, how can we monitor them?" Zhu Ye said worriedly.

"What's so difficult about this? Half price isn't enough, give them a 10% discount and free of charge!" Lao Liu said with a confident smile, "We're not really doing business."

"My Lord, you really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. You can't discount your bones until you break your bones." Shen Liu Niang said with a wry smile: "Now we are losing money and making money. If we give another discount and free of charge, Princess Jin's dowry will have to be emptied. "

"That doesn't matter." The third brother said calmly, "As long as we can do things, we can do it."

"I'm afraid it won't work." Shen Liuniang said helplessly: "If we dare to offer a discount, the threshold has been broken by the locals. How can those outsiders squeeze in?"

"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about bankruptcy, nor do you have to worry about the threshold being crossed. You can use the lottery method." Lao Liu smiled wisely:

"Hurry up and have someone print a batch of numbered lottery tickets, and then set them up at the city gate piers in various places entering Beijing. Pull up a big red banner with four big words 'Free Lottery' written on it!

"As long as you leave your personal information, you can win a free draw, and the prize is a voucher for our family."

"Then what if the cat and the dog are taken away?" Lao San asked.

"How could it be?" Zhu Zhen said with wide eyes: "Third brother is so naive. When did the lottery give a passerby a bargain?"

"We don't have to draw the lottery on the spot." Shen Liu Niang still has the brains in this regard. He immediately understood: "The date of the lottery can be delayed by a few days. Don't they all keep their personal information? Let's single out those officials who come to Beijing and let them win the prize."

"How to choose? They can only leave their name and place of origin, but not their official position." Zhu said.

"If you win the prize, you should notify them. Do you have to give them vouchers? So you have to leave your contact information." Shen Liuniang had already completely figured it out and said: "Officials either live in the court's post house or in the local guild hall. So you are right to choose these two addresses.”

"That's right, even if a businessman living in the guild hall wins the prize. How can you not invite an official to have a drink with you during the Chinese New Year?" Lao Liu also smiled and said: "On the contrary, you have to pay attention and let others win the prize. Otherwise it will be too impressive."
