Menliang hurriedly held his fists and saluted, "I will obey the order."

I'll go back and make arrangements now and leave tomorrow."

"Yeah, okay, great. Don't act rashly before I arrive."

As he spoke, Chen Buyi picked up a teacup on the table and threw it on the ground. With a bang, the teacup broke into seven or eight pieces.

I squatted down and picked up two pieces of fragments, which could be put together.

"Yeah, not bad."

Chen Buyi smiled and handed one of them to Men Liang.

"When I see this thing, I will come in person."

Men Liang took it with a lot of laughter and cry.

In ancient times, there was a saying that the tiger talisman was dispatched. This dog envoy, Lord Shen, had a very clear idea. A piece of teacup can also be used as a tiger talisman.

Admiration, admiration.

"Three days later, thirty miles west of Qingzhou Prefecture, waiting for me at the foot of Tuoshan."

After Chen Buyi finished speaking, he waved his hand and sent Men Liang back.

Just when Shen Buyi was planning to go, an uninvited guest came to the home of Lin Ran, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

It was the gentry in Qiu'an County who had millions of dollars.

Lin Ran couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at Qian Baiwan with tears.

"Brother Qian, what's so sad?"

"Lin, Brother Lin, I, I'm sorry for you, Lin Feng, Lin Feng was killed by the imperial envoy Chen Buyi."

"What!"

Lin Ran stood up suddenly.

"When did it happen?"

"That's right, it's when Shen Buyi goes to Qiu'an County to eliminate locusts."

"Why did I report it after so long?"

Lin Ran stared at Qian Baiwan fiercely, and his gaze made him feel a little chill on his back.

"When Chen Buyi went to Qiu'an County, I happened to go back to my hometown.

As soon as I got the news, I immediately rushed to report to you that they not only killed Lin Feng, but also had more than a dozen mouthfuls in Qingfeng Temple. "

Obviously, the reason for going back to my hometown is a bit far-fetched, but it is my own children's family, although my son has married more than a dozen wives.

"Okay, I understand, you go down and rest first."

After sending the money away, Lin Ran threw the teapot to the ground.

Qingfeng was a chess piece he planted in Qiu'an County, and an important chess piece he and Bai Xiu jointly developed Xishan Coal Mine.

According to Qian Baiwan, Qingfeng has been dead for a while. Qian Baiwan may not know, but Bai Xiu must have known it.

However, Bai Xiu did not reveal any news to him, and even the share money was sent on time.

This made Lin Ran feel extremely angry. Although the money was still given as usual, Qingfeng's dozen people were taken away and sent to him would probably arouse suspicion from the local government.

Now Bai Xiu’s every move is completely unaware of. Even if one day he no longer gives him money, he will have to suffer losses.

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and my whole body couldn't help but start to tremble.

Lin Ning, the butler next to him, brought a cup of tea again and carefully handed it to Lin Ran.

"Master, the old saying goes, "If you have grudges, you are not a gentleman."

Regardless of whether he is willing to target you or not, this tone must be expressed."

Lin Ran looked at Lin Ning with a squinted eyes.

Lin Ning is in his forties and has also been a parent since childhood. In other words, he is also a member of the Lin family, although he has no blood relationship with Lin Ran.

"Lin Ning, what do you mean?"

"Master, do you still remember that a while ago, you sent me to Deyuelou to find Chen Buyi and did business with him, but he refused."

"Yeah, I got the moon building."

Lin Ran suddenly became excited.

"Yes, why did I forget this!"

Lin Ning smiled and bowed, "Master, according to the law of our dynasty, officials are not allowed to do business. The business of Deyuelou is surprisingly good."

"Yeah, I remembered what you said."

Lin Ran was walking back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and soon a plan formed in his mind.

The next morning, Emperor Xuanzong gave up his morning court and returned to Nanxun Palace.

A young eunuch came to report that the Minister of Revenue Lin Ran asked for a visit.

After kowtowing to see the ceremony, Lin Ran took a memorial from his sleeve and handed it forward without waiting for Xuanzong to speak.

"Mr. Qi, Emperor Qi, this year, tax revenue has dropped sharply due to locust plagues. So far, the tax paid by various places has 200,000 stagnant of copper coins.

Silver is one hundred thousand taels.”

So few.

Xuanzong couldn't help but frown.

Lin Ran then bowed and said, "Emperor, now the Turks on the border are eyeing the Huns, and the military expenditure is huge, so the finances are very tight."

Xuanzong didn't say anything, slowly stood up from the dragon throne, put his hands on his back, and slowly walked to Lin Ran, "Lin Aiqing, tell me what good strategies are there?"

Lin Ran bowed and said, "The emperor, I think there are two methods: long-term and short-term."

"Oh, then tell me, what's the long-term effect, and what's the short-term?"

Emperor Xuanzong immediately became interested.

"A long-term method can be followed by the ancients. Salt and wine are reclaimed from the government's monopoly, so taxes will naturally increase."

"kindness."

Xuanzong nodded and said nothing. This is a way. From ancient times to the present, salt tax has been the fiscal revenue of all dynasties.

"So what about the short-term approach?"

"The emperor, the short-term method is to allow officials to start businesses, and they only need to pay a certain amount of tax to the court in proportion."

After Lin Ran said that, he lowered his head deeply.

Xuanzong couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"Bold Lin Ran, our dynasty has long had a ban since the founding emperor, and officials must not do business."

Lin Ran was so scared that he plopped and fell to the ground.

"Lin Ran deserves to die for thousands of sins, so please ask the emperor to atone for his sins."

Seeing that there was no look of anger on Xuanzong's face, Gao Lishi was naturally willing to ask for favors. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Emperor, although Lord Lin's method is wrong, his loyalty to you is a lesson for heaven and earth."

"Your Majesty, I am guilty of my crime. I thought that Deyuelou's business was booming, so I came up with this idea."

I heard Lin Ran mention Deyue Tower.

Emperor Xuanzong's anger disappeared instead.

"Forget it, get up."

Xuanzong raised his hand.

Gao Lishi, who was standing beside him, hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Mr. Lin, you don't know yet. The Deyue Tower is not easy now."

"oh?"

Lin Ran stood up and looked at Gao Lishi in a daze.

Gao Lishi made a secret wink and said loudly: "The Deyue Tower now has been belonged to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is the royal estate."

I.

Lin Ran almost breathed a sigh of relief.

Am I seeking death by myself?

Deyue Tower has actually become a royal property, and I even came to complain.

Am I seeking death by myself?

The more I think about it, the more I become scared, and I feel a chill on my back.

"Your Majesty, I am aware of the crime."

Plop, he kneeled down again.

"Okay, you go back."

Xuanzong waved his hand.

After sending Lin Ran away, Xuanzong did not feel relaxed.

The financial crisis is coming soon.
