All Hail Cousin Brother

Faced with Xie Jingliu's almost murderous gaze, Yin Huaixi's scalp tingled. He was not afraid of Xie Jingliu, but he was hypocritical. Brother uncle was born to be annoying.

"Old Madam Yu gave a token before she died." He immediately took out the token from his pocket 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 a gentleman's belly. If Xie Jingliu deliberately refused to accept it and the good token was broken, who would be to blame.

Xie Jingliu's face turned dark, no wonder Yin Huaixi dared to "little" his cousin blatantly in front of him, it turned out that he had the "Gold Medal Arrow" in his hand!

He reached out to get the token, the two tugged back and forth a few times, Yin Huaixi held the token on the other side without withdrawing 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 okay, what if you accidentally lose your grip and drop the token?"

Xie Jingliu held his breath in his chest, panicked: "Am I this kind of person?"

Yin Huaixi squinted at him: "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, be careful before using the boat for ten thousand years. It doesn't matter whether you are this kind of person or not."

Xie Jingliu took a deep breath and calmed down.

Be calm.

He, he is so calm, the cousin who got it has almost become someone else's property before she warms it up.

I can't calm down.

Xie Jingliu was furious: "If you don't let go, how can I see clearly? You say it's a token, but it's just a token? You can just take any object and lie to me, saying it's a token, and I must believe it. You'll treat me like a fool." ?”

The keepsake is of great inheritance significance to the family. As long as you see the appearance of the keepsake clearly and inquire about it in the Yu Mansion, you will know whether it is true or not.

Yin Huaixi hesitated for a moment.

How dare he hesitate! ! Xie Jingliu said angrily: "If you don't let go, I will force myself."

It's a jade thing that shatters when you apply force.

Yin Huaixi hurriedly said: "You spread your hands, and I will put them in your hands."

Xie Jingliu gritted his teeth angrily, and spread his palms.

Only then did Yin Huaixi carefully place the token in Xie Jingliu's palm, and he did not forget to explain: "Be careful, Yaoyao also has the same token.

This is a pair, don't drop it. "

Xie Jingliu doubted, these words are really not adding fuel to the fire, deliberately provoking people? !

At that moment, he really wanted to have one, "accidentally" his hands trembled, and he smashed the token, then it was not a couple.

Therefore, Yin Huaixi's worry is not unreasonable.

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

"Jade Theory" records the color of jade: "Nowadays, there are often blue and white ones, sometimes black ones, and absolutely no yellow or red ones."

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

As soon as Yin Huaixi heard it, he knew that Mrs. Yu was reliable, and the "token" was given without any ambiguity. Since Pisces Yuanpei has such a background, his marriage with Yu Youyao is more than half settled.

Don't worry, someone in the Xie Mansion didn't like the token, and accidentally shook his hand, or didn't connect it firmly, didn't hold it properly, and accidentally dropped the token.

Xie Jingliu handed the token back to Yin Huaixi with a complex expression: "Before great-grandfather came to Beijing, why didn't you mention this?"

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

Xie Jingliu sneered: "So, you sent my cousin to Quanzhou this time because you intend to confess to my great-grandfather and be lenient?"

Yin Huaixi lowered his eyes and stroked the Jinyu 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, returned with thousands of horses Mount Mang. The cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks, and then the birds fly again, and the good bow is hidden deep in the mountain."

Xie Jingliu pursed his lips and did not speak.

Yin Huaixi pointed to the ragged and naked coolies on the pier: "The drought is far more severe than the flood. Before October, the north has already entered winter. The people will face the desperate situation of hunger and cold. Is it a moment of relief, and survived the cold winter by luck, what about next year?"

Xie Jingliu suddenly closed his eyes.

What about next year?

If the drought continues next year, where will the imperial court get money to relieve the disaster?

Next year, how will the common people survive the situation that the green plums will not be harvested and the farmers will starve to death?

The root of everything is an empty treasury.

Yin Huaixi sighed softly: "During the previous dynasty, due to a national policy of changing rice into mulberry in Zhejiang, the treacherous party in the court blew up embankments and flooded the fields, which caused disastrous consequences. In addition, court officials cooperated with local giants to implement a method called selling fields. The exchanging of food was actually a government move to buy and annex people's land at a low price, which angered Tianyan, and in order to appease the holy anger and make up for the consequences, the court officials made disaster relief and filled the deficit of the national treasury, which became the top priority."

Xie Jingliu slowly opened his eyes: "Regardless of loyal traitors inside and outside the court, businessman Shen is the only one who has huge wealth to fill the shortfall of the national treasury."

The Xie Mansion is also a sensible person, after all, it is still a big tree: "The Xie Mansion helped the imperial court to break the sea ban. This is a merit, but in the eyes of the emperor, the merchant ships of the imperial court rely on the Xie Mansion to get rich, but the wealth of the Xie Mansion does not belong to the imperial court. "

Business is richer than the country, which has already planted the seeds of disaster.

"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 southeast coast. Ye Hanyuan temporarily stabilized the situation, but after this incident, maritime trade is not so easy. Restoring its former prosperity."

Yin Huaixi didn't say what happened next, but Xie Jingliu already understood.

The imperial court's merchant ships rely on the Xie Mansion to make a fortune, the imperial court has gained huge profits, and the Xie Mansion has to pay a large amount of commercial taxes to the imperial court. This is a win-win situation.

But the chicken that lays golden eggs cannot lay eggs.

The imperial court had no choice but to kill the chicken and take the eggs.

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

What about next year?

Yin Huaixi continued: "The dirty money confiscated in Zhejiang will be used for disaster relief within a few days after entering the national treasury. It will not be able to make ends meet. Next year, the national treasury will run out of money, so we can only copy Xie's mansion 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 can be earned by the imperial family alone, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Xie Jingliu sarcastically said: "I thank the family's ancestors for saying that you should not be an official in the world. The wealth in the world should be taken from the people and used for the people. As early as a few years ago, my great-grandfather was already gathering up the family business, and took the initiative every year. Paying 15% more business taxes to the imperial court, the Xie Mansion has not been idle and has used the available silver to stockpile food for disaster relief due to natural disasters and man-made disasters in the past few years."
