MTL - Fight the Giants-Chapter 866 unfilial

  Mu Yan stayed with Yang Fu for two days and talked a lot before sending him away.

  Yang Fu left with several boats full of jade materials, various goods, and Huo Xi's generous gifts for his relatives. Standing on the bow of the boat, I feel a little sad, and I don't know when I will see you again.

  When I was young, my uncle and nephew were tired of being together every day. When I was sleeping, I could hear Xier's gentle breathing in the cabin next door.

  When they grow up, they all live in the capital. Even though they don’t live in the same place, they can see each other often and don’t feel the pain of being separated. Now that they each have a small family, it’s hard to see each other again.

   I don't know if the child in Xi'er's womb is a boy or a girl, and how long it will take to see her. With a long sigh, the boat drifted away.

  Huo Xi hadn't seen his relatives at home before, and although he missed her, he didn't have too many emotional ups and downs. This joy at first sight, but farewell at the first sight, I feel extremely sad.

   cried all night. Mu Yan also coaxed her all night, touched her belly, and whispered in her ear: "This must be a girl, so sentimental."

  Huo Xi wiped away tears, "How do you know it's a girl? Why can't my son cry because he thinks about his relatives?"

  Mu Yan argued: "When you were pregnant with Qi'er, it wasn't like it is now."

   "When I was pregnant with Yu'er, I didn't leave my hometown or my relatives."

   "That's true. But I feel different. This child hasn't moved yet, and she's very well-behaved. She must be a considerate girl."

  玘At that time, Xi'er's fetus moved frequently, kicking and punching in Xi'er's stomach, and the little fists visible to the naked eye really came out of the kid.

  The two talked about the girl and boy all night, and they fought over the name, which comforted Huo Xi.

  The next day, Mu Yan stepped onto the meeting hall.

  All the bureaucrats and staff have already sat down, even Duke Qian and the third master Mu Ang have already sat upright. But reprimand him for being late? No, he was on time.

  Mu Yan looked at him, pretending not to see him, and sat down on the other side of the first Duke Qian. His gaze swept around the hall indifferently, it was clear and cold, with a bit of majesty, making people afraid to look directly at it.

  Mu Zhan stared at Mu Yan's seat and looked away.

  One of these couples can win the hearts of soldiers, and the other can hold money. They are better than each other. His mother is right, don't underestimate it.

  As Mu Yan took his seat, the discussion began. Before that, he had been in the army on the border, and he hadn't participated in the discussion of politics for a long time, so he didn't listen much today.

  After discussing the political affairs, the officials and aides who got hints began to ask Mu Yan, what is the solution to the sluggish business in the city? Would it be unfilial and unrighteous to cause a group of businessmen to leave Yunnan due to business losses and cause the population to flow out?

   "What is unfilial and unrighteous?" Mu Yan looked at the subordinate official who spoke indifferently.

"The First Marquis was ordered to guard Yunnan and set up the management of Yunnan. In the next ten years, all the tasks were carried out, and Yunnan was freed from the border barbarism. , How can I be good to the old Hou Ye and the first Hou Ye? Isn't it unfilial?"

   "Unfilial?" Mu Yan pulled the corner of his mouth, and a big hat hit him on the head.

   "There are many things discussed today." The corner of his mouth sneered. This brought up the business of the women's family for discussion.

"Mrs. Shizi and Shizi share weal and woe. Her every move outside naturally affects the face of Shizi and also represents Shizi. Now, because Mrs. Shizi opened the North-South Merchant Store, all the merchants have lost their business due to the suppression, and the management staff have also lost their business." It can be used to supplement the family. At the beginning, the old Hou Ye spent a lot of effort to move the merchants from the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains. Now if the wife of the eldest son wants to earn a few coins, the merchants will lose their business and lead to exodus. righteous?"

   Unfilial and unrighteous, the words are a bit too heavy. Duke Qian frowned.

When Mu Ang saw it, he said: "It's too much to be unfilial and unrighteous. Mrs. Shizi's shop has just opened for business, and everything has not been done yet. I need to wait and see. It is too hasty to set the tone so as not to be impatient. Some. And you can’t complain about cracking down on good business just because merchants lose business.”

  Nephew's daughter-in-law's north-south goods store, he also likes it tightly.

  Usually he doesn't like to go shopping, he just likes to go to restaurants and teahouses to drink and watch plays with friends.

   And it's my own family's business. If the business is doing well, isn't it happier than watching other people make money?

   "Back to the third master, the wife of the eldest son is of high status, she shouldn't be doing business, and I have never seen a wife of a duke's mansion doing business in public..."

  Before he finished speaking, he saw Shi Zi coldly shoot him a cold light.

  The subordinate officer who spoke shuddered all over.

  But still bite the bullet and continued: "It is the businessman's duty to use all means to make a profit, but there is no reason to rely on his status to do all the business, and the run-on has no way for others to survive."

  Which one of the bureaucrats has no property? Those whose business has been impacted naturally feel that Mrs. Shizi's business is domineering and has cut off their own financial resources.

   So they all agreed.

   Talking all over the place, turning a good meeting hall into a market.

  The corners of Mu Zhan's mouth twitched quietly. The couple can't take all the benefits. Everyone is the same, but you quietly became rich and skyrocketed, who feels comfortable?

Seeing that the quarrel was unseemly, Duke Qian frowned and wanted to speak, but Mu Yan suddenly said: "The other family has no business, so I can only say that the means are not good. Why, seeing the business is booming, I can't stand it, and want to force my wife to close the shop? "

   "Your Majesty, you need to know that the rain and the dew are equal. If a group of merchants are forced to die, what will happen then is unpredictable."

   "Are you threatening me?"

   "Subordinates don't mean that..."

   "Then what is the meaning of this lord? He said that the merchants will unite and move their families back to the Central Plains? Will they resist, disturb the hearts of the people, and cause a rebellion?"

  Subordinate officer:...

  Seiko, are you being too serious? He didn't mean that.

   But Mu Yan didn't give him a chance to argue. He added: "If someone calls my wife and asks her if there is a way to deal with it, how much do you think she can say?"

  The corners of the mouth raised a small arc, "If my wife makes a move, but all the merchants can't think of it, do you think my wife is smart or they are too stupid?"

  The subordinate officer was forced to be speechless.

  If you call Mrs. Shizi here, you can really tell me how to deal with it one, two, three. So how do you calculate it? He is as stupid as all the merchants? Doesn't his unfilial piety and injustice become a joke?

  The subordinate officer pursed his lips.

  Mu Zhan frowned. He didn't expect that the subordinate officer was usually very smart, but Mu Yan would be like a gourd with a jagged mouth when Mu Yan **** him off. Just as he opened his mouth, Mu Yan suddenly looked at him, "Brother, what do you want to say?"

  Uh... What Mu Zhan wanted to say was suddenly blocked back in his throat.

Seeing that Mu Zhan was blocked and speechless, Mu Xi chimed in and said, "Second brother, what do outsiders think of your husband and wife doing this! They thought that our Mu family was short of money and wanted to monopolize the business, and drove all the merchants to extinction. When the time comes The merchants have moved out, leaving so many shops and houses behind, you want to buy them?"

   "I'll buy it."

  Mu Xi choked, "The outflow of people, when the emperor reprimands me, I'm afraid my second brother won't be able to bear it."

   "Why did the emperor reprimand?" Mu Yan squinted at him.

"North-North Merchant Company pays little tax? Is there something illegal? Is it embarrassing the people? The North-South Merchant Company conducts business in a regular manner, and promises to spend 10% of its profits on the people of Yunnan every year. Do you think the emperor will reprimand or will?" Great reward?"

   Donate 10% of the profits? Everyone in the hall looked at Mu Yan in disbelief.
