Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 744: ：Kill the chicken to get the egg

Facing Xie Jingliu's almost murderous gaze, Yin Huaixi's scalp went numb. He was not afraid of Xie Jingliu, but he was weak. This uncle-in-law was born to cause trouble.

"Mrs. Yu gave me a token before she died." He immediately took out the token from his arms and handed it to Xie Jingliu.

I won’t throw it away this time.

It's not that he used his villain's heart to judge the gentleman's heart. If Xie Jingliu deliberately refused to accept it and the good token was broken, who would be responsible.

Xie Jingliu's face turned dark. No wonder Yin Huaixi dared to blatantly "frivolously" treat his cousin in front of him. It turned out that he had the "Gold Medal Order Arrow" in his hand!

He reached out to get the token, and the two of them pulled and pulled it back and forth a few times. Yin Huaixi held on to the token on the other side without moving away.

Xie Jingliu took a deep breath: "Let go!"

Not only did Yin Huaixi not let go, he even said plausibly: "That's not possible. What if you accidentally lose your grip and drop the token?"

Xie Jingliu felt a breath in his chest and was so frightened: "Am I this kind of person?"

Yin Huaixi glanced at him sideways: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected. Only by being careful can you use the ten thousand year ship. Whether you are this kind of person or not, it doesn't matter."

Xie Jingliu took a deep breath and calmed down.

Be sure to stay calm.

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

Can't calm down.

Xie Jingliu was furious: "If you don't let go, how can I see it clearly? If you say this is a token, it is a token? Just take any object and trick me, saying it is a token, and I must believe it. You treat me as me Are you a fool?"

The token has important inheritance significance for the family. As long as you can see clearly what the token looks like and inquire about it at the Yu Mansion, you will know whether it is genuine.

Yin Huaixi hesitated for a moment.

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

A jade thing broke into pieces with force.

Yin Huaixi said quickly: "Open your hand and I will put it on your hand."

Xie Jingliu gritted his teeth in anger and spread his palms.

Yin Huaixi then carefully placed the token on Xie Jingliu's palm, not forgetting to say: "Be careful, Yaoyao also has the same token. This is a pair, don't drop it."

Xie Jingliu suspected that these words were really just adding fuel to the fire and deliberately irritating people? !

At that moment, he really wanted to do it, but "accidentally" his hands trembled and he broke the token. Then they were no longer a couple.

So, Yin Huaixi's worries are not unreasonable.

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

"Jade Theory" records the color of jade: "Today, blue and white are often found, black is sometimes found, and yellow and red are never seen."

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

As soon as Yin Huaixi heard this, he knew that Mrs. Yu was reliable, and the "token" she gave her was unambiguous. Since the Pisces Round Pendant was so well-established, his marriage to Yu Youyao was more than half settled.

Don't worry, there is someone in the Xie family who doesn't like this token, and accidentally shakes his hand, or fails to connect it firmly or hold it properly, and accidentally drops the token.

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

Yin Huaixi said calmly: "It was difficult to reveal my identity before."

Xie Jingliu sneered: "So, when you send my cousin to Quanzhou this time, are you planning to confess to my great-grandfather and be lenient?"

Yin Huaixi lowered his eyes and rubbed the gold fish 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, Qian Cheng Thousands of horses return to Mang Mountain. The cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook it, and when it flies again, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden deep in the mountains."

Xie Jingliu pursed his lips and said nothing.

Yin Huaixi pointed to the ragged coolies on the pier: "The drought is far more severe than the flood. It is not even October, and winter has already entered in the north. The people will face the desperate situation of hunger and cold. The imperial court Disaster relief is just a temporary relief. We luckily survived the cold winter. What about next year?"

Xie Jingliu suddenly closed his eyes.

What about next year?

If the drought continues next year, where will the court get the money to provide disaster relief?

How will the people survive next year when the green plums are not picked up and the farmers starve to death?

The root cause of everything is the empty treasury.

Yin Huaixi sighed softly: "During the previous dynasty, due to a national policy in Zhejiang to change rice to mulberry, the traitorous party in the DPRK blew up embankments and flooded the fields, causing disastrous consequences. In addition, court officials joined forces with local giants to implement a plan It was called selling land for grain, but it was actually a political move to buy and annex people's land at a low price, which angered Tianyan. In order to appease the anger of the emperor and to make up for the consequences, disaster relief and filling the national treasury deficit became top priorities."

Xie Jingliu slowly opened his eyes: "Regardless of whether there is loyalty or traitor inside and outside the government, I analyze that the only person with huge wealth who can make up for the shortfall in the national treasury is Merchant Shen."

The Xie Mansion is also a sensible person. After all, it is still a big success: "The Xie Mansion helped the imperial court to open the sea ban. This is a merit. However, in the emperor's view, the imperial merchant ships relied on the Xie Mansion to make a fortune, but the Xie Mansion's wealth was not. From the imperial court."

Businesses are richer than the country, which has laid the foundation for disaster.

"In recent years, Japanese pirates have often robbed merchant ships at sea, and the court has suffered a lot of losses. Earlier, Japanese pirates colluded with pirates at sea and invaded the southeastern coast. Ye Hanyuan temporarily stabilized the situation, but after this incident, maritime trade also It’s not that easy to restore the former prosperity.”

Yin Huaixi didn’t say the next words~IndoMTL.com~ but Xie Jingliu already understood.

The imperial court's merchant ships relied on the Xie Mansion to make a fortune. The court made huge profits, and the Xie Mansion also had to pay a large amount of commercial taxes to the court. This was a win-win situation.

But the chicken that lays golden eggs cannot lay eggs.

The court had no choice but to kill the goose and obtain the eggs.

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

What about next year?

Yin Huaixi continued: "The dirty silver confiscated in Zhejiang will be used for disaster relief within a few days after it enters the national treasury, and it will not be able to make ends meet. By next year, the national treasury will have no money, so it will have to confiscate the Xie Mansion. To make up for the shortfall, it is logical that so many merchant ships of the Xie Mansion will be returned to the imperial court. Wouldn’t it be wonderful for the maritime trade business to be solely owned by the imperial court?”

Xie Jingliu said sarcastically: "I thank my ancestors for not being an official in this 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 consolidating the family business. Every year, he took the initiative to pay 15% more commercial taxes to the court. In the past few years, the Xie Mansion has not been idle due to natural and man-made disasters, and has used the available silver to hoard food for disaster relief."
