    Xuanhehou Mansion, Yangyi Courtyard

    Lying on the rocking chair, enjoying the gentle breeze, Qiao Mu immediately laughed and sat up after listening to Butler Min¡¯s narration. The worries he had been carrying for the past two days finally fell to the ground, and he was no longer so worried:

    "Hahaha, this is very good, very good!

    ?? Butler Min, if necessary, you can send people to spread the news further. You must let everyone discuss the affairs of the Marquis Min Mansion and completely cover up the rumors about our Marquis Mansion some time ago.

    Also, I will continue to stock up on the soybeans, caustic soda and other things I asked you to stock up on last time. After the oil pressing workshop and soap workshop in the farm over Xiaomi Mountain are built, work can officially start.  At that time, soybeans and caustic soda were indispensable in the workshop.  "

    Things in the world have always been overshadowed by one thing. Originally, Qiao Mu was thinking that the summer harvest was coming soon and it would be difficult for anything to happen to cover up the rumors about their family, so she was very angry and even prepared for a big hemorrhage.  's ready.  But they never thought that Cheng Yaojin would come out halfway and suppress the news that their family had millions in cash some time ago. In this way, although the impact could not be completely eliminated, it was somewhat better than before.  When the national treasury is short of silver, a little extra effort should be enough.

    Of course, crying about poverty is also a necessary path.

    "Old madam, after the soybean oil and pancreatic juice are produced, will they be sold elsewhere? But if you want those shopkeepers to hide their identities and help sell the goods, I'm worried that after a while, when the business expands, others may  Annexation, no one doing big business in this capital has anyone behind it, except for small businessmen and hawkers."

    Butler Min is not worried about the rumors. After all, no matter how short of money the emperor is, he will not really attack the ministers because of the rumors in the market. At most, he will hint privately and make blood. What he is more worried about is that Qiao Mu will completely hide his identity as a seller.  thing.

    In the capital, or in the entire country, most officials and their families are involved in business. However, although everyone knows each other well, they do not show it openly. Those who do business are only their servants, or hired employees.  Shopkeeper.

    They are still clean.

    It is really a fantasy to completely hide your identity and sell goods, because it is difficult for a store without a background to do business. It is just a bad business. Once the business is good, there will be a wolf in the front and a wolf in the back.  There are tigers, there are gangsters extorting money in front of them, there are policemen extorting money in the back, and maybe they will encounter malicious competition or mergers with fellow shopkeepers.

    These are all things that shops without identity background may encounter. Only by disclosing the identity background privately and letting everyone know it can we prevent this situation from happening.

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, I¡¯m not planning to sell it in the capital either.

    Later, I will stock up on a batch of goods and send them directly to Jiangnan to sell them for a large sum. I will also sell the production methods together to collect a large amount of funds. Besides, there is really no secret to doing business near Kyoto.  , when I save enough funds, I will send people to carry out sea trade.

    Privately occupy an island for transit, and earn at least hundreds of thousands taels for a round trip. As long as it is hidden deep enough and secretly enough, no one will know which company it belongs to.

    I will arrange for others to do this. You continue to send people to inquire about the news of the Minhou Mansion, and report the situation to me after dinner.  "

    If Qiao Mu wants to fulfill his original wish, it is naturally impossible for him to make money by selling soap in the capital. Not to mention how much money he can't make by selling soap, even if he can make a lot of money, there are no secrets in the capital. Their mansion  Although there is a title, there is no real powerful person in the court, so it doesn't hurt to make a little money. Once you make too much, you will be targeted.

    Therefore, we can only make money through sea trade.

    Sea trade is indeed profitable. As long as the ship doesn't capsize, you can't lose anything. Not to mention things like silk and porcelain, you can make a lot of money just by shipping pineapples to Europe, because at this time, pineapples are in Europe.  It is a treasure. Any nobleman who gets a pineapple can hold a banquet.

    Secondly, sea trade is indeed secretive. As long as you recruit a team of people privately and ensure the loyalty of this team, it is easy to disguise the sea trade fleet as foreigners, or disguised as Nanyang people, pirates, etc., as a whole  All transactions are controlled remotely, and it is difficult to trace the specific person behind them. The money earned only needs to be transported to the capital every now and then.

    "The old lady is wise! I'll go right now!"

    Butler Min didn¡¯t ask why he couldn¡¯t participate in the sea trade, because he knew very well that no butler could take care of everything in the master¡¯s family, so after flattering him, he hurriedly resigned and left.

    Qiao Mu looked at his leaving figure and knocked on the back of the chair with his left hand, thinking about himselfIs there anyone here who can be trusted 100%? Maritime trade is no small matter. You must find someone you can trust to participate in and preside over it. Now Qiao Mu only has an idea. The specific manpower and ships are still unknown.  I haven't started looking for it yet.

    Therefore, there is no need to be too hasty.

    Just take your time.

    ¡­¡­

    Because the emperor personally supervised the case at Dali Temple, the case that might have dragged on for ten days and a half without necessarily yielding a result was decided in less than an hour after the emperor sat down in the afternoon of that day. Of course, Ning  The evidence provided by Jinzhong is very comprehensive and is one of the driving forces.

    The final verdict was that all officials involved in the champerty lawsuit were dismissed on the spot and never hired. Some serious cases, such as the two who caused human lives, even had to be exiled, and their descendants were not allowed to take the imperial examination for three generations.

    Naturally, the mastermind Wang will not have a good end. He was directly sentenced to beheaded by the Queen of Qiu. Several servants who helped Wang to do things, and even forced others to death were the same, and they were all arranged together.  After the fall of Qiu, Wang's husband, the stepbrother of the Marquis of Min, was also implicated and dismissed from his post, and her two sons who had already become scholars were also implicated and dismissed.

    Of course, the Marquis of Min was also humiliated and ordered to meditate behind closed doors for half a year, and his salary was suspended for three years. However, the crime he suffered was nothing compared to the crimes of the previous people.  , if the emperor was not still there, Marquis Min would even want to laugh loudly.

    Because after this time, there would be no obstacles for him and his wife to completely control the Hou Mansion. This is what the couple had been looking forward to for more than ten years and finally got it. So what if they suffered a little for it?

    Emperor Ming Ling was very satisfied with the verdict, but when he heard the news that more than 100,000 taels of silver were copied from the Wang family's courtyard and some other jewelry and antiques were taken away, he was moved and immediately went to the Dali Temple government office again.  Continued:

    "Although this matter is over, it has also allowed me to see another side. I have seen that although some officials themselves are not corrupt, they may be corrupt and accept bribes through the hands of their wives, or in other words, their wives are using the official's power to take bribes and take over the lawsuit.  .

    ??According to my decree, in accordance with Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment and the Yushitai jointly handle the case, and strictly investigate the files on loan sharking and related similar situations in recent years. The blame must be traced to specific people, and those maids and servants must not be blamed.

    Be quick, be accurate, and allow people to report privately. Those who report accurately will be rewarded. I hope you will not disappoint me. I allow you to act cheaply.  "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
