All Hail Cousin Brother

With Xie Jingliu's almost murderous gaze, Yin Huaixi's scalp was numb. He wasn't afraid of Xie Jingliu, but he was vain. Uncle, this thing, was born to block.

"Old Madam Yu gave the token before her death." He immediately took the token from his arms and handed it to Xie Jingliu.

Don't throw it away this time.

It wasn't that he used the heart of a villain to save the belly of a gentleman. If Xie Jingliu deliberately refused to accept it, and the good token was broken, who was it?

Xie Jingliu's face turned dark, no wonder Yin Huaixi dared to "lightly" his cousin in front of him, because it turned out that he had a "gold medal arrow" in hand!

He stretched out his hand to get the token, and the two pulled back and forth a few times. Yin Huaixi held the token on the other side and did not withdraw his hand.

Xie Jingliu took a deep breath: "Let go!"

Yin Huaixi not only did not let go, but also plausibly said: "That's not good, what if you accidentally don't hold it firmly and drop the token?"

Xie Jingliu squeezed his chest in one breath, panicking: "Am I this kind of person?"

Yin Huaixi squinted at him: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, be careful to make the ship for ten thousand years. It doesn't matter whether you are such a person or not."

Xie Jingliu took a deep breath and calmed down.

Must be calm.

He, he calm down the fart, the cousin who got it has not yet been covered up, and it has almost become someone else's home.

Can't calm down.

Xie Jingliu was furious: "If you don't let go, how can I see it clearly? You say it's a token, it's a token? If you take any thing, you can trick me and say it's a token, I must believe it, you can't think I'm a fool ?"

The token is an important inheritance for the family. As long as you can see the token's appearance, you will know whether it is true or not when you go to Yufu to inquire.

Yin Huaixi hesitated for a moment.

He even dared to hesitate! ! Xie Jingliu said angrily, "If you don't let go, I will use my strength."

A jade item that shatters with force.

Yin Huaixi hurriedly said: "You spread out your hand, and I put it on yours."

Xie Jingliu gritted his teeth in anger and spread his palms.

Only then did Yin Huaixi carefully place the token on Xie Jingliu's palm, not forgetting to explain: "Be careful, there is also a token of the same token, this is a pair, don't drop it."

Xie Jingliu doubted that these words were really not burning oil on the fire and deliberately irritating people? !

At that moment, he really wanted to come, "accidentally" trembled in his hand and shattered the token, then it was not a pair.

Therefore, Yin Huaixi's worries are not unreasonable.

With Yin Huaixi's bright eyes, Xie Jingliu took a deep breath, and then gradually calmed down, and looked at this jade pendant carefully: "This is a family heirloom of my Xie residence, my aunt has carried it with her since she was a child, it is made of a piece of red and yellow. Carved from Hetian jade, it is as red as blood, as bright as cinnabar, yellow and arrogant, as soft as fat, which is rare in the world."

"Jade Lun" records the color of jade: "Today, there are often blue and white, sometimes black, and no yellow and red."

The red and yellow colors are all contained in the body of one jade, and there is absolutely nothing.

As soon as Yin Huaixi heard it, she knew that Mrs. Yu was reliable, and the "token" was given without any ambiguity. Since Pisces Yuanpei had such a background, most of his marriage with Yu Youyao was settled.

Don't worry, someone in Xie's house didn't like this token, and accidentally shook his hand, or he didn't get it firmly, didn't hold it well, and accidentally dropped the token.

Xie Jingliu returned the token to Yin Huaixi with a complicated expression: "Why didn't you mention this when the great grandfather came to Beijing before?"

Yin Huaixi said lightly, "It was not easy to reveal your identity before."

Xie Jingliu sneered: "So, when you sent my cousin to Quanzhou this time, are you planning to confess to my great grandfather and be lenient?"

Yin Huaixi lowered his eyes and rubbed the golden fish token in his hand: "There was a silk giant named Shen in the previous dynasty, how is the current situation in the Xie Mansion similar to him? Hou Feihou, Wang Feiwang, thousands of horses return Mangshan. The cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks it, and the birds fly again, and the good bow is hidden in the mountains."

Xie Jingliu pursed his lips and said nothing.

Yin Huaixi pointed at the ragged, bare-faced coolies on the pier: "The drought is far more severe than the flood. Before October, it will be winter in the north, and the people will be faced with the desperate situation of starvation and cold, and the imperial court will not be able to provide disaster relief. It was a moment of relief, and luckily survived the cold winter, what about next year?"

Xie Jingliu closed his eyes suddenly.

What about next year?

If the drought continues next year, where will the court get the money for disaster relief?

Next year, how will the common people survive the situation of not picking up their green plums and the farmers starving to death?

The root of everything is the emptiness of the treasury.

Yin Huaixi sighed softly: "During the previous dynasty, Zhejiang had a national policy of changing rice to mulberry, which caused the traitorous party in the DPRK to blow up dikes and flood the fields, resulting in unbearable consequences. In addition, officials of the imperial court joined forces with local giants to implement a policy called "Selling the Fields". The exchange of grain is actually a government move to buy and annex the land of the common people at a low price, which angered Tianyan, and in order to appease the holy anger and make up for the consequences, it became a top priority for the officials of the court to relieve disasters and fill the deficit of the national treasury.”

Xie Jingliu slowly opened his eyes: "Regardless of the loyalists and traitors inside and outside the court, the only person who has huge wealth to fill the deficit in the treasury is the businessman Shen."

Xie Mansion also understands people, and after all, it is still a big move: "Xie Mansion helped the court to open the sea ban, this is a merit, but in the emperor's view, the court's merchant ships rely on Xie Mansion to make a fortune, but Xie Mansion's wealth is not the court's. "

The business is richer than the country, and the root of it has been laid.

"In recent years, Japanese pirates have often plundered merchant ships at sea, and the court has suffered a lot of losses. Earlier, Japanese pirates colluded with pirates at sea and aggressively invaded the southeastern coastal areas. Ye Hanyuan temporarily stabilized the situation, but after this incident, maritime trade is not so easy. restore the former prosperity.”

Yin Huaixi didn't say anything later, but Xie Jingliu already understood.

The court's merchant ships rely on Xie's house to make a fortune, the court has made huge profits, and Xie's house has to pay a large amount of business tax to the court. This is a win-win situation.

But the chicken that lays the golden egg cannot lay the egg.

The court had no choice but to kill the chickens and get the eggs.

Before, it was because Yu Youyao donated one million taels to the court, which led to fundraising, and made Emperor Gou temporarily look at the corrupt officials in Zhejiang.

What about next year?

Yin Huaixi continued: "The dirty silver confiscated in Zhejiang will be used for disaster relief within a few days of entering the treasury, and it will not be able to make ends meet. By next year, when the treasury runs out of money, it will have to copy Xie's residence to make up for the shortfall. With so many merchant ships in the Xie Mansion, it is logical that they belong to the imperial court, and the maritime trade business should be earned by the imperial family alone, isn’t it beautiful?”

Xie Jingliu sarcastically said: "I thank the grandfather of the mansion, the world is not an official, the wealth under the world should be taken from the people and used for the people. As early as a few years ago, the great grandfather had been collecting business in the family, and every year he took the initiative. Over the past few years, due to natural and man-made disasters, the Xie House has not been idle, and has used the available silver taels to hoard food for disaster relief."
