Liu Hong frowned and thought about it. He really wanted to say that the more the better, but it was not realistic to think about it, so he said, "The amount of two altars a day must be guaranteed."
Li Linfei nodded and pretended to calculate. Liu Hong didn't rush when he saw Li Linfei was thinking, and waited patiently. After all, it was about his fine wine.
After a while, Li Linfei said with a look of embarrassment: "If you want to guarantee the supply of [-] jugs of fine wine every year, I'm afraid it will cost half of Yangzhou's tax. The tax here refers to the tax paid to the imperial court."
Rao Liu Hong was shocked when he heard Li Linfei's words, half of Yangzhou's tax, how much is that!
But thinking of the price of the fine wine in the market now, he felt relieved, and said with a big wave of his hand: "If you offer two thousand altars every year, I will exempt the entire Yangzhou from taxes."
From Liu Hong's point of view, if Li Linfei suffers, then he still earns money. After all, Kuaiji County is also in Yangzhou. His business mind is complacent.
Li Linfei looked at Liu Hong in amazement. He was still thinking about paying taxes in the future. He didn't expect Liu Hong to give him such a good opportunity to evade taxes. How could he let it go? He agreed immediately.
"Xiao Fei, are you married yet?" Liu Hong suddenly asked.
Li Linfei was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "At present, no."
"Oh, that's good." Liu Hong said.
Chapter 472 Princess Wannian
"I have a daughter, Xiao Fei, you know about it." Liu Hong said.
Li Linfei nodded.
"Wannian is ten years old, and I'm going to start looking for a husband for her. As her cousin, have you taken a fancy to her?" Liu Hong suddenly changed the subject.
Princess Wannian, his cousin in this world is Liu Hong's first queen, Empress Song, who gave birth to Princess Wannian for Liu Hong. In name, Wannian is still his niece. He also met a few times when he lived in Luoyang. , a very cute little girl.
He suddenly thought of Dong Zhuo's crimes in history. Wannian was the princess who suffered the crime. He couldn't bear it, so he decided to save her as much as possible: "I don't know if your Majesty can choose someone?"
"Actually, my candidate is you!" Liu Hong said with burning eyes.
Li Linfei was dumbfounded!Liu Hong actually wants to let himself be his son-in-law, although Princess Wannian has nothing to do with Li Linfei, she is a niece in name after all.
"Your Majesty, after all, Wannian is the minister's niece, so I'm afraid I don't have such a blessing." Li Linfei said.
Liu Hong nodded. Although Li Linfei rejected his proposal, it was well-founded. Although he could use the power of the emperor to force Li Linfei to marry Wannian, he did not do so. Liu Hong thought he was a reasonable and principled person.
"This time when you return to Yangzhou to take up the post, bring Wannian with you." Li Linfei was puzzled, did he want to cultivate a relationship with Wannian?
But looking at Liu Hong's expression, it seems that there is something hard to say. Seeing Li Linfei's doubts, Liu Hong was silent for a long time and said the reason: "You should have heard about Wang Meiren. In order to distinguish her, I endured it."
"Although Wannian is a daughter, she didn't live happily in the palace. That bitch still instigated the maids to bully her, she thought I didn't know.
"The butcher He Jin has now united with the noble families in the court, and his power is getting stronger and stronger. If something happens in ten thousand years, I can't do anything with that bitch, but you are ten thousand years' uncle. If she comes to you Go, you are now in the limelight in the aristocratic family, I believe He Jin would not dare to do anything to you."
Liu Hong's explanation is reasonable, Li Linfei is moved, Liu Hong will not just talk about Wang Meiren's affairs, Wannian is not easy for this little girl, not to mention that he and He Jin have already formed a relationship.
When Liu Hong was about to give him the title of Yangzhou Shepherd, he came out and jumped up and down, saying that he recruited refugees with the intention of rebelling against Shenma, if he hadn't behaved well in front of Liu Hong before.
After doing enough homework with Zhang Rang and the family, the position of Yangzhou Mu may not be destined for him. Now that the enmity has been formed, Li Linfei is not afraid to be a little bit more, he hesitated and agreed.
As for what will happen to Princess Wannian in the future, it is not something I need to consider.Seeing that Li Linfei agreed, Liu Hong asked someone to bring Wannian over, treated Li Linfei to a meal, and let him lead Wannian away.
Although Wan Nian is young, he has grown up in the palace since he was a child, and he doesn't cry or make trouble when he leaves with Li Linfei, he looks very well-behaved.
Li Linfei did not visit other ministers in the DPRK afterwards. After all, his army was stationed outside the city and needed to leave as soon as possible.
The next day, he bid farewell to Liu Hong and left Luoyang. Surprisingly, Taiwei Qiao Xuan also resigned and followed Li Linfei.
Qiao Xuan's hometown was in Yangzhou, under the rule of Li Linfei, and the famous Xiao Qiao was his daughter.
"Yun, I heard that your Kuaiji Academy is very impressive, how about Qiao wanting to teach there?" Qiao Xuan asked, stroking his gray beard.
Li Linfei was startled when he heard that, Taiwei Qiao Xuan was going to teach in his own academy, then his reputation in Kuaiji Academy would be completely opened up, if he was famous in the entire Jiangnan region before, he might become famous in the entire Han Dynasty in the future.
Qiao Xuan's reputation among scholars may be greater than that of Cai Yong, but his disciples and old officials are definitely more than Cai Yong's. No one can ignore the influence of a Taiwei, even if he has resigned.
At that moment, Qiao Xuan was invited to be the vice president of Kuaiji Academy, on par with Cai Yong, and Li Linfei himself was the principal president.
It was also the first time for Xiao Wannian to go out of the palace. She was sitting in the carriage and insisted on coming out, but she couldn't ride a horse. In the end, Li Linfei had no choice but to ride with her. Fortunately, Wannian's body hadn't grown out yet. Otherwise, he would definitely turn into a strange man and trick her into seeing whales.
Finally, after a month of traveling, they returned to Kuaiji. Unlike the first time he came to Kuaiji a year ago, the population of Kuaiji has more than doubled, and the city has expanded a lot. This still makes Li Linfei very happy. sense of accomplishment.
We must know that the Jiangnan area was not developed before the Sui Dynasty. It was not until the opening of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal that the economy slowly improved.
Li Linfei was well aware of the potential of the Jiangnan region, so he spent countless efforts developing Kuaiji. With the help of a few more sages, the economy of Kuaiji and even the entire Yangzhou would no longer be worse than that of the Central Plains and northern regions in a short time.
Chapter 473 Wei Zhongdao died
It has been less than a year since I returned to Yangzhou, and only an hour in the real world. After Li Linfei's one-year development, Yangzhou has a brand new look.
In order to develop intelligence, he secretly set up an intelligence organization, the Black Clothes Guards. The development of this year has spread almost all over the southeastern region of the Han Dynasty, and Luoyang, the imperial capital in the Central Plains, has more.
Although there is a plug-in of the system, there is still something that should be there, otherwise it is impossible to understand where Li Linfei's information came from.
One day, Guo Jia, who was in charge of intelligence, reported.
"My lord, not long ago, there was news from Luoyang that He Jin impeached you again in front of the emperor, saying that you supported the army and respected yourself. Fortunately, we have been bribing the ten permanent attendants and the elders in the court. Under their guarantee, Liu Hong rejected He Jin's suggestion." Guo Jia said to Li Linfei. "
"Is that the butcher again?" Li Linfei said disdainfully.
Ever since he came to this world and accepted the identity assigned to him by the system, that butcher He Jin has been targeting him. This is not the first time. Originally, he didn't care about such ants, but he could speak in front of Liu Hong , to a certain extent, it will affect Liu Hong's judgment. He doesn't want to start a rebellion early, and he is not ready yet. If he was not afraid of affecting the mission, he would have gone to Luoyang a long time ago.
After all, without He Jin, Dong Zhuo would not have entered the capital, and if Dong Zhuo had not entered the capital, the great man would not have existed in name only, and he would not have been able to rebel.
At this moment, the status of the Han Dynasty in the hearts of the common people and the gentry is still very high.As for why He Jin targeted him everywhere, in Li Linfei's view, it was due to his inferiority complex.
I am Liu Hong's former brother-in-law, but he is better than his current brother-in-law in every way, and his life is getting better and better: well, his life is getting more and more inferior. There is a reason to like beautiful women.
"That's right! We lost a lot of money because of He Jin." Guo Jia said that he is currently in charge of the black guards, and if we need someone to help, we must give gifts.
"Let him calm down for a while first," Li Linfei said.
"Yes, my lord." Guo Jia said.
But he didn't leave yet.
"Is there anything else to do with Fengxiao?" Li Linfei asked.
"My lord, according to your order, the black guard has entered the Wei family for almost a year," Guo Jia said.
Hearing this, Li Linfei asked, "Tell me what you found."
Wei Zhongdao's body was so bad, why did he suddenly die of illness, there must be something wrong, he wanted to save the talented Cai Wenji.
"After Miss Cai and Wei Zhongdao got married a year ago, Wei Zhongdao became seriously ill for some reason, to the point where medicine and stones were difficult to treat, and passed away three months ago. Everyone in the Wei family said that she was the cause of death. Wei Zhongdao, Miss Cai couldn't bear the cynicism of the Wei family in the first few minutes, so she ran back." Guo Jia said.
