Chapter 139 Chamber of Commerce Seized, Economic Crisis, Three Women Meet (Please vote for me!)

Yong'an sixty-eight years.

At the end of October, frost comes.

The weather is getting colder and another year is coming to an end.

Lu Mingyuan stood by the window of Qingzhu Palace's bedroom, looking at the sunset, the setting sun, the falling autumn leaves, and counting the number of months since he traveled through time.

"One year and two months, before you know it, it has been more than a year."

With a soft murmur, he sat on the chair, poured himself a pot of hot tea, and read the Dayan Di newspaper on the table.

Recently, the court has been surprisingly lively. Princess Jinwu came to the court and met with the Seventh Prince. It is said that she was attacked by thieves on the way and almost died. Fortunately, she got help from the nobles. The weapons and armor she transported were also lost, and Yunwan was left nearby. The banner of the Chamber of Commerce, as well as the unique wide car marks on the official road in the capital, were definitely deliberately framed by someone.

The cabinet attached great importance to this and summoned Langya King Lu Yunwan to the court for a confrontation on the spot.

Lu Yunwan looked confused, saying that he had no knowledge at all and could not possibly have any idea of ​​​​making imperial weapons.

The eldest princess pointed out that the thief was a monk with thick eyebrows and big eyes who took the lead, and was related to many monks under Lu Yunwan.

Lu Yunwan argued, how could such childish words be used as testimony? There is no necessary relationship between the two.

The eldest princess calmly brought out a righteous man named "Yang Jian" and explained the conversation between the two.

The imperial court announced that this "Yang Jian" had entered the court, but the Ming Deng Division never found this master named Yang Jian, and the case fell into anxiety for a time.

Seeing this, Lu Mingyuan clicked his tongue and said secretly: "It seems that the clone can't appear recently, so it's better to avoid the limelight."

The imperial court finally discovered a lot of smuggled ironware in the cellar of Prince Langya's Mansion, as well as many other prohibited items, including wine yeast, soldiers' armor from the Golden Crow Kingdom, etc.

According to the laws of Dayan, without the certification of special offerings from the imperial court, it is a serious crime of beheading for merchants to secretly brew wine and sell it.

In addition, this year's heavy floods have flooded most of the farmland, and food is scarce. Fortunately, there are abundant granaries in various places. However, next year will definitely be a famine year, so the court has basically stopped making wine. It needs to store food to cope with next year's food crisis. .

In special times, merchants who make wine privately will definitely be punished.

Lu Yunwan not only secretly brewed wine and sold it to various states and counties in Dayan for profit, but he also had the idea of ​​​​Golden Crow Iron Weapons, which undoubtedly touched the red line of the imperial court.

All of this was within Lu Mingyuan's expectation.

All this had been arranged long ago to lead the troubles of the Jinwu Kingdom to Lu Yunwan. He asked the shadow warrior to send the intercepted iron tools back to Prince Jin's Mansion, and Prince Jin's Mansion sent these iron tools to Prince Langya's Mansion.

But I didn't expect that there was an unexpected surprise. Lu Yunwan himself had many dirty things.

Not only smuggling, but also tax evasion, running up and down the government, and using relationships to suppress other businessmen. Corruption is very serious, forming a huge network of monopolistic relationships.

The discovery of so many things and the people and things involved at once was no less than an earthquake.

The Jiantai Division and the Ministry of Household Affairs jointly impeached Langya King Lu Yunwan on more than ten charges including tax evasion of hundreds of millions of silver, smuggling of iron and wine, and human trafficking.

The headquarters of the Yunwan Chamber of Commerce in the Imperial Capital was seized by the Mingdeng Division, and branches in various places and many of its properties could not escape the involvement, and they were all subject to strict investigation.

When the court was very short of money, when it came to such a case of giving away money, it was natural to deal with it in a big way without any tolerance, and launched a massive and thorough investigation of corruption.

Officials from all over Great Yan were horrified.

Lu Mingyuan felt that Lu Yunwan was very unlucky, mainly because he was not clean himself and could not blame others.

But there was one thing he cared about.

The fuse was lit by Jin Wang Lu Guangjing.

If this round was successful and the seventh prince was forced to death, wouldn't it mean that Lu Guangjing was advantaged?

This question was on his mind before the task of framing the Seventh Prince was carried out, and after he learned that failure would bring Lu Guangjing down.

So after returning from Luo Ying, I was thinking about how to change the outcome of this matter.

Yang Jian's mission has been completed. There is no need to worry about King Jin's eyes now. Next, he must consider how to deal with the ending.

It's not that he wants to save Lu Yunwan, but he wants to find a way to prevent Lu Guangjing from climbing to the next level so smoothly.

The key point lies in Lu Yunwan.

Although the opponent's vitality was severely damaged in this battle, he was a prince after all. If he had not betrayed the country and sided with the Qing Dynasty, he would not have been punished to death. However, it is conceivable that Lu Yunwan would be very crushed next. After all, his hard work was confiscated by the court, and he was heartbroken. Blood is weird.

Lu Mingyuan didn't think that sealing up the Seventh Prince's properties and the chamber of commerce was a correct decision.

This will cause a large number of tenant workers to lose their jobs, and a large number of industrial chains will be directly interrupted.

The industries managed by the Yunwan Chamber of Commerce have long been closely related to the people and monks of Dayan. If they are closed rashly, it will only collapse the economy of Dayan.

Many markets went out of business, shops closed, people lost their jobs, temples and houses under construction went on strike, and then they fell into an economic crisis.

Just like the collapse of a certain giant real estate company in the previous life, it will cause panic among the people.

At the moment, the Great Yan court is only thinking about how to get Lu Yunwan to cough up a little more money to fill the huge silver vacancy caused by the border war. The unemployed people did not pay any attention to the closed shops. Even if they were taken over, they would choose some industries that mainly attracted money, such as textiles, silk, tea and fur, and considered many other industries as dispensable.

In fact, this is a potential risk.

A little carelessness will seriously damage Dayan's vitality.

No matter from which perspective, Lu Mingyuan felt that letting Lu Guangjing suffer was a good thing that benefited himself and the people.

"That's good. Now Yang Jian and Fahai can disappear for a while, and the third clone can be born."

Lu Mingyuan chuckled and moved his fingertips slightly.

A new shadow warrior was fabricated before his eyes.

It would definitely be a good thing if this new avatar was allowed to provoke a dispute between Lu Guangjing and Lu Yunwan.

Just when Lu Mingyuan was thinking this.

A beautiful figure came to the courtyard of Qingzhu Palace and knocked on the door of the dormitory.

"Is uncle busy?"

It was the voice of Princess Zhao Yang Yingchan.

"Sister-in-law, please come in."

Lu Mingyuan shouted loudly, and the shadow warrior in his hand immediately disappeared.

The woman who entered the door had her hair high and her hair was covered with gorgeous vermillion hairpins. She was dressed in a light and elegant vermilion gown, with an emerald green embroidered handkerchief twisted in her hand. The hem of her skirt was floating in his heart.

Yang Yingchan's eyes under her willow eyebrows were like a pool of clear springs. She looked at Lu Mingyuan timidly and whispered softly: "My uncle hasn't asked me to study recently. It must be because His Highness is too busy, so do you still want to study at night in the future?" ?”

"Read it, why don't you read it."

With a smile on his face, Lu Mingyuan pointed at the chair and offered him a seat.

But before Yang Yingchan could get her butt warm, there was another knock on the door.

"Lu Lang, I've brought Sister Huo here to say hello."

As soon as Lu Mingyuan heard the voice, he knew it was Qi Muxue coming.

He glanced at Yang Yingchan in front of him, took a breath, and looked troubled.

Yang Yingchan's eyes were also looking at him. Seeing Lu Mingyuan's reaction, her eyes darkened slightly.

Lu Mingyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Come in."

He didn't do anything, so there was nothing to be nervous about.

It's just reading and cultivating one's sentiments.

After a while, Qi Muxue, who was wearing a furry white coat, took the hand of Huo Hongling, who was wearing a long red dress, and walked into the hall. Originally, Qi Muxue looked relatively happy and kept smiling.

But when he saw Yang Yingchan, who had delicate features and mature temperament, sitting there, her expression was obviously stunned.

The same is true for Huo Hongling.

The three women looked at each other, and Qi Muxue was the first to speak: "This lady is His Highness's sister-in-law, right? My surname is Qi Muxue, yes"

Lu Mingyuan said: "My wife."

Qi Muxue shyly acquiesced.

"I've heard about Princess Qi's name for a long time." Yang Yingchan did not panic about this, but looked calm and smiled softly.

He looked at Huo Hongling who looked unnatural, nodded and said hello:

"And Princess Huo too."

Qi Muxue walked to the case and looked at Yang Yingchan's notes on martial arts. They were crooked and the handwriting was not pretty.

"This is what you are."

"My brother-in-law said that my sentences were halted and I was very suitable for studying, so he often invited me here to discuss martial arts."

Yang Yingchan racked her brains and came up with a more reasonable explanation.

"I see."

Qi Muxue smiled lightly, let go of Huo Hongling's hand, rolled up her sleeves, picked up the brush, and said to Lu Mingyuan:

"Why should Lu Lang be so independent, copying martial arts, reciting books and writing ink? I can do the same as a concubine, and I have to trouble my sister-in-law to do anything."

She held her sleeves in her arms and took up her pen to copy the words on them one by one. Her words were upright and dignified, and she was truly one of the best. Only through comparison can you show your superiority. She is indeed the most talented woman in the imperial capital. Comparing other people's handwriting with Qi Muxue's will judge her superiority.

Lu Mingyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said: "This is too hard, so I won't bother Madam."

Yang Yingchan on the side looked slightly embarrassed and said: "The handwriting makes Madam Qi laugh."

She learned calligraphy very late. After all, she mainly practiced martial arts. Her handwriting was barely legible, and it was definitely not good-looking. She couldn't compare to Qi Muxue.

Qi Muxue smiled generously and said: "It doesn't matter. There are skills in writing. It's not difficult. As long as you master the method, Mrs. Yang will definitely be able to write well."

Huo Hongling, who had not spoken yet, was flipping through a large pile of martial arts stacks on the table, with a glint in his eyes from time to time.

"I didn't expect that my husband, there are so many martial arts here. They are all from the major sects of Great Yan. They are definitely treasures among the people."

"It seems that Sister Huo is also deeply involved in martial arts. It just so happens that there is nothing to do right now. Why don't the three of us work together to sort out the martial arts for His Highness? It's also disturbing to see how messy the study here is."

"Can."

"Yeah, no problem."

Both of them agreed.

Qi Muxue took matters into her own hands and quickly assigned work.

Yang Yingchan was responsible for reading, Huo Hongling was responsible for categorizing, and she was responsible for writing and taking notes.

After she finished writing, she occasionally gave Yang Yingchan pointers on the strength and tips of calligraphy. The teacher took great pleasure in it. Yang Yingchan also knew that the opportunity was rare, so she studied very seriously, asked questions when she didn't understand, and was not reserved, reading and writing at the same time.

Lu Mingyuan sat aside and looked at the three women. He felt that he was the redundant one and felt quite neglected.
