Bai Wei was both surprised and happy to see Bai Meng in the capital.

"Brother, why are you here in the capital?" Bai Wei rushed into the pavilion, with her eyes curled, looking at Bai Meng up and down, wearing a blue jade hairpin, tied up her long hair, majestic, elegant and elegant, with light in her eyes, which made people look very energetic, and changed drastically when she first met. "Aren't you studying in the palace? Why are you following the prince?"

"I recommend Mr. Gao to the prince. After getting settled in Beijing, I sent a letter to my home. You didn't see the letter when you came to Beijing." Bai Meng raised his hand and rubbed Bai Wei's head, as if he found that she had grown a little taller, "Will they treat you well?"

"They are very nice to me and have no family opinion." Bai Wei asked Bai Meng to sit down and talk, "Is the prince easy to get along with? Being with the king is like a tiger, you have to be careful."

Bai Meng sat opposite her and confirmed that she was doing well in Ling Mansion. He just mentioned one thing, "The two jade mines in Baoyuan Mansion City were the veins discovered by the court that year, and were managed by Baoyuan Mansion City. With the decline of the jade wares in Baoyuan Mansion City, with the rise of the Wen and Jiang families, the late emperor divided the jade mine in half, and controlled by Wen and Jiang families. They had to pay 60% to the court every year. No one knew how much they gave. They had made a flat book, and most of them were placed in the loss of cultivating jade craftsmen."

Bai Wei immediately understood, and the Wen and Jiang families would definitely not be honestly paying 60%.

Every year, a large number of jade craftsmen are cultivated, and the loss is incomplete, which can just take advantage of them and make them feel full of their own pockets!

"How do you know these secrets?" Bai Wei guessed: "What the prince told you?"

Bai Meng shook his head, "This is exactly what I want to tell you. The treasury is empty, and the prince is worried about this matter. The people below advise and increase taxes, which is not good for the prince to rule. I proposed that the prince take the right to manage minerals in his own hands and hand it over to the prince's confidant for supervision, which can solve the problem of the treasury emptiness."

Bai Wei's face suddenly changed, "Brother, you are offending the interests of the public and becoming the target of the public!"

Bai Meng laughed and said, "The minerals in all places are in the hands of local officials. If you are pro-priest party, you will not take back the management rights. You will only make people check the accounts on the surface and will not punish them heavily. You only need to hand over a certain proportion of your income to the court. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. The prince has a standard, which will only make them more loyal to the prince. Those who oppose the prince can take the opportunity to clear their political enemies and install their own connections. Not only can they consolidate the position of the prince, the national treasury can also be filled with a little and will not exploit the people. Apart from the prince's political enemies, they have not violated the interests of others."

"If the prince adopts this plan, I will fight for the Jiang family's veins for you." Bai Meng had a good idea in his mind. He also set a guarantee for Bai Wei. "If the veins found by privately, report them to register and pay 20% of the court every year. Little sister, we have no power and power. You are too outstanding and are eye-catching. If you find the veins yourself, you will be worried about plundering others. This is the safest way."

These 20% are equivalent to protection fees.

If you want to register with real name, others need to go to the government to check it out and the person who belongs to the mine veins is clear.

The prince agrees with this proposal very much, and these 20% are equivalent to more.

However, this proposal requires the support of all ministers. The prince came to Ling's mansion and discussed the proposal with Mr. Ling, whether it could be successfully passed and implemented.

Bai Wei's heart moved, "Brother, did you make this proposal to the prince after hearing some rumors?"

The Jiang family plagiarized her works and was very arrogant.

Bai Meng's ability cannot defeat the Jiang family, so he can only use roundabout methods.

If the jade ore on which the Jiang family relies for survival is deprived, it will hurt the root cause, which is the most direct blow.

Bai Meng's move will not shake everyone's foundation, but will protect the weak.

If a jade ore can produce high-quality jade materials, just one percent of the profit can make people have enough food and clothing.

Bai Wei is not greedy. She thinks it is very cost-effective to give up 20% and reduce a lot of trouble!

Not only can she protect her interests and hit the Jiang family hard, if the matter goes smoothly, Bai Meng will also be valued by the prince!

"Do you still need a scientific test?"

"The Jiang family will revenge. If you make a grudge with them, you will not give up easily." Bai Meng has the advantage of time and place, and he will win multiple goals in one go. Why don't he do it? "The imperial examination will not be abandoned. The prince will introduce me to the Imperial College."

Seeing that Bai Meng had a plan in his heart, Bai Wei felt relieved, "Brother, no matter how much you are valued by the prince, you need to have a source so that you can truly respect people."

To put it bluntly, most of the Imperial College are second-generation officials. Bai Meng can study in it, make friends and expand connections.

"Brother has a clear idea." Bai Meng looked out of the pavilion.

Bai Wei turned her head and saw Shen Xinyue approaching sneakily, then suddenly turned around and ran out.

She frowned and saw a man in brocade clothes and jade belt, looking around, as if looking for someone.

"Do you know me?" Bai Meng asked.

"That girl is Ayu's step-sister."

Bai Wei doesn't know this man.

"Brother, I'll go to the front yard first." Bai Wei stood up and saw two people standing in the waterfront not far away. They were Shen Yu and He Qinglan.

She couldn't help looking at the man, guessing that she was here to find He Qinglan.

Bai Wei tapped the stone table with her fingers and asked Bai Meng to leave first.

——

He Qinglan called Shen Yu, and the two stood in the water pavilion.

She wanted to invite Shen Yu to the wing room, but suddenly she saw Bai Wei enter the pavilion and changed her mind immediately.

"A Yu, I haven't seen you for six years. How are you doing well?" He Qinglan's thin white fingers pulled Shen Yu's sleeve and was sideways away. He Qinglan was slightly stunned, and felt a little hurt in his heart. "I am in such a family, and I can't help myself. Marriage cannot be independent. I feel guilty when I let you down back then. I want to find an opportunity to talk to you. This time, the marriage between the two families is very happy, and it can give me a chance to compensate you. I know that you get married, but I can't blame anyone, after all, I'm the one who lets you down first. At your age, many people are already dads, and it's reasonable for you to get married."

"Wiyuanhou knew Miss Bai's identity, and Wei Yuanhou did not agree with her. I felt a little lucky in my heart. Maybe we still had a glimmer of hope. I got what I wanted and became your wife. After meeting Miss Bai yesterday, my previous thoughts were too superficial and ridiculous. She was a very good girl."

He Qinglan's eyes were filled with tears and red eyes. She held back her tears and said softly: "I owe you an apology, and I hope we can still be friends in the future."

Shen Yu is upright. If she wants to break up his marriage, she is afraid she won’t give her a chance to get entangled. Therefore, He Qinglan plans to find another way and start looking for opportunities from her friends!

Chen Yu said bluntly: "We don't have misunderstandings, you don't need to apologize, it's not appropriate to be friends. These are things from the past, and there is no need to repeat them. I don't want my wife to have misunderstandings because of this."

He Qinglan held the handkerchief tightly, "Will I be troubled by Miss Bai?"

"Won't."

He Qinglan was stunned.

"She won't waste her mind for people who don't matter."

Chen Yu threw down this sentence, turned around and left.

He Qinglan wants to chase him.

"Miss He."

Bai Wei's crisp voice came.

Chenhui's footsteps paused.

He Qinglan turned his head and looked at Bai Wei's bright smile came into his eyes, "Miss Bai."

"Mrs. Chen." Bai Wei corrected her.

He Qinglan's face froze.

"The banquet is about to begin, Miss He will go back as soon as possible." Bai Wei walked over to her, walked straight towards Chen Yu, holding his arm, "You are here, and my uncle can't come alone, you go and help!"

"Okay." Chen Yu's eyes were filled with smiles, and he walked around the water pavilion to the front yard with her.

He Qinglan looked at the figures of the two people leaving, and his face turned pale.

After a long time, her face returned to normal, and she went to find Chen Xinyue.

With his waist tightened, his hands hugged her waist from behind, "Lan'er, what's the point of Chen Hui? He was devoted to this village girl and would not marry anyone else. Can you still reduce your status and be a concubine for him? Now is different from the past. He is now completely innocent and has no serious official position. He is just an idle man. He has no man in his eyes and heart. Why do you have to be slander? What's worse than him? If you marry me, I will love you well and not let you suffer grievances."

He Qinglan was shocked. She didn't know that someone was so bold, and the sky was blue and white, and she dared to hug her like this!

"Let me go!" He Qinglan was so angry that she struggled hard, "If you don't let go, be careful that I will call someone!"

"You shout, this is the backyard. Everyone is attending a banquet in the front yard. Who will come to save you?" He Qinglan's body was soft and soft. Chang Mingxuan couldn't bear to let go. The elegant fragrance of flowers on her body made him intoxicated. He couldn't help licking her ears, "Lan'er, I don't dislike you for marrying someone. I haven't married a wife yet! I will treat you well."

He Qinglan screamed in fear, and his scalp was about to explode when he licked it.

She stepped on Chang Mingxuan hard.

Chang Mingxuan felt pain, and his hands relaxed, and He Qinglan ran out in tears.

Chang Mingxuan reacted with quick eyes and hands. He grabbed He Qinglan's wrist and threw her on the pillar, "Lan'er, I just kissed you. I'll ask my mother to come to your house to propose marriage tomorrow."

He Qinglan was frightened and full of disgust for Chang Mingxuan. She was bound by him and was about to collapse, but she did not dare to anger Chang Mingxuan, because she was afraid that this lunatic would do other things.

She suppressed the panic in her heart and tried her best to remain calm on the face. "Mr. Chang, I said before that I can't make the decision on the major marriage matters, so you can ask a matchmaker to come."

What is the Chang family? The He family would not agree at all, so He Qinglan said that.

Chang Mingxuan couldn't understand what He Qinglan meant and was ecstatic, "Lan'er, are you agreeing to marry me?"

He Qinglan looked at Chang Mingxuan in front of him. He looked like a clever person. Perhaps because of his impure mind, his eyes were very vulgar and he was staring at him and was uncomfortable all over.

He Qinglan is the proud daughter of heaven. Before she left home, she was surrounded by stars.

Even after leaving her home, many powerful people married her as a reunion.

Each one is better than Chang Mingxuan.

She really couldn't just talk to him, "Young Master Chang..."

"Lan'er, just call me my name, don't be so unfamiliar." Chang Mingxuan was in her arms and there was no one in the backyard. He Qinglan also agreed to marry him, but she couldn't help but fall in love and leaned over to kiss her lips.

"Bang!"

He Qinglan raised his hand and slapped him, his eyes full of anger, "Chang Mingxuan, what are you? You dare to be flirting with me!"

When has she been so offended and humiliated?

He Qinglan has the heart to kill Chang Mingxuan!

Chang Mingxuan was stunned by He Qinglan's slap, and then was angry by her words, "What are you? Just a torn shoe, I'm shameless! I'm not a big yellow girl, why pretend to be a chaste woman? You've just seduced Chenhui, don't think I didn't see it!" He was cruel, held He Qinglan and kissed her directly.

"Here! It's here!"

Chen Xinyue was excited when she saw a man and a woman entangled in Shuixie. She pointed at He Qinglan and Chang Mingxuan.

Everyone rushed over quickly and heard the man groaning, covering his crotch and squatting on the ground.

Chang and Mrs. He took the lead. They saw the people inside clearly and their faces suddenly changed.
