Chapter 206: It is said that the old and young masters of the Yan family are going to die (Please subscribe)
After finally getting Yan Hu away, Yan Hu took his men to send him to Changping.

Yan Shaoting was already sweating all over.

Wait until he returns to the study.

Except for the mess on the ground.

It was the old man Yan Shifan who was sitting on the chair and still breathing heavily.

Yan Shaoting glanced at Yan Shifan, then looked at old Yan who had never spoken.

"I guess Xiao Que'er is really not good at studying and can't understand what he reads."

"Anyway, our family..."

Yan Shaoting wanted to ease the situation.

When it comes to teaching children, you can force them.

But judging from Yan Hu's current condition, it's probably impossible to force him back.

But Yan Shifan slammed the coffee table and said, "What's wrong with our family? You have to study even if you can't understand the book!"

He glared at Yan Shaoting.

"The Yan family doesn't support idlers!"

"If he can't study and pass the imperial examination, he'll never be able to leave Changping in his lifetime!"

"This matter falls on you. If he doesn't study well, he will never be able to leave Changping. You..."

Yan Shifan glanced at his boss and then shut his mouth again.

I can’t control the second child anymore.

Not to mention that he is now the most popular boss of the dynasty.

It’s even more impossible to control.

Yan Shifan, who hadn't finished his sentence, suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness for no reason.

Yan Song waved his hands at this time and said, "Alright, alright, my children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Even if I can't pass the imperial examination, when I retire in a few years, I can use my old face to ask for favors from Your Majesty for the second son, and he can finally have a decent job in the court."

But Yan Shifan remained silent.

He was now completely immersed in the frustration of being unable to educate his son.

Yan Shaoting just echoed and said, "Xiao Que'er has been in his hometown in Jiangxi for a long time, and his family has paid less attention to him. Now it is like this, perhaps there are many reasons. The saints said that we should teach students in accordance with their aptitude. If the imperial examination is really not what Xiao Que'er wants, I will talk to him when I have time.

Although the Yan family doesn't need him to eat a few mouthfuls of food, but what my father said is true, the sons of the Yan family can't be idle, they must have something to do. "

In fact, tonight when the second brother shouted that he wanted to be the enemy of ten thousand people.

Yan Shaoting prepared to temporarily hand over the 600 militiamen under the Changping Security Bureau to the second brother.

However, this still depends on what real abilities the second brother has.

As for the imperial examination, how to obtain honors?

Look at the second brother’s thighs and arms which are thicker than his head.

Yan Shaoting was very skeptical as to whether the wisdom of the old Yan family's classics had been passed down to the second son.

Yan Song thought about it, then nodded and said, "In that case, let's wait and see. We have just arrived in Beijing after a thousand miles of travel, so don't bother the child any more."

These words were actually directed to Yan Shifan, who was still keeping his head down and remaining silent.

Yan Song felt that he had reached this age now.

My son can now work in the Ministry of Industry with peace of mind.

Not to mention the eldest grandson.

If you do a good job and everything goes smoothly, you will become the emperor's teacher in the future.

The Yan family has two prime ministers.

It is not impossible.

But he never said this to anyone else.

No one spoke.

Yan Song said, "I heard that Yan Maoqing returned to Beijing today. There are even rumors that he returned with tens of millions of taels of silver."

As soon as these words came out.

Yan Shifan, who had originally lowered his head, immediately raised his head.

His eyes kept rolling.

I don't know whether he was thinking about the tens of millions of taels of silver or something else.

Yan Shaoting nodded and said, "I am back, but I saw it at the Tonghui River wharf today. I don't see 10 million taels of silver, but the total is probably 4 or 5 million taels, and the rest are all treasures and valuables."

In fact, he felt that the number of four or five million taels of silver he had said was a bit too much.

Yan Maoqing always had to make some money himself.

Then they were brought back to Beijing.

Because since Yan Maoqing went south, the Yan family never gave him any news. Even the letters sent by Yan Maoqing, the Yan family never replied.

Therefore, the silver that was supposed to be sent directly to Jiangxi did not appear.

Now that he has been brought back to the capital, Yan Maoqing will definitely consider taking care of a large group of people starting from the Yan family.

In the end, the amount of silver that could reach Jiajing and the national treasury was probably only about three million taels at most.

As for those treasures and valuables.

This was not within the scope of the original request of the imperial court for Yan Maoqing to go south to Lianghuai to inspect the salt industry and recover the salt tax.

The imperial court at that time only wanted silver, but did not ask for treasures or valuables.

This batch of things will probably be circulated out of Beijing.

If we look at the development of things according to their original direction.

Yan Maoqing and the Yan family were too clever for their own good.

Think of this.

Yan Shaoting hurriedly said, "By the way, when Yan Maoqing came back today, he brought back quite a few women, and it seems that he also brought back a troupe of actors to the capital."

Without waiting for Yan Song to speak.

Yan Shifan hummed and said, "Your grandfather loves to listen to operas, so this troupe must be sent to our Yan family. As for those women, they are probably all collected by Yan Maoqing from Yangzhou. Apart from our Yan family, they are used by other families in Beijing to bribe people."

For this line.

Yan Shifan is very well-informed.

He guessed Yan Maoqing's plan in an instant.

Yan Shaoting's face tightened: "I guess it will be like this."

"You can't accept these things."

Yan Song suddenly frowned and turned to look at Yan Shifan: "Don't even let Yan Maoqing send in one tael of silver!"

Yan Shifan immediately glanced over.

He frowned slightly.

But it soon expanded.

"Indeed."

"I am now returning to Beijing with Yan Maoqing."

"He and the silver and valuables he brought back must be watched by the whole court."

After saying this, Yan Shifan turned and looked at Yan Shaoting.

"Not even a cent!"

Yan Shaoting looked at Yan Shifan with surprise.

This is different from the young minister’s previous personality.

Is your brain flooded?
Facing his son's suspicious eyes.

Yan Shifan snorted, "Am I out of my mind? Why would I be so stupid as to accept benefits from Yan Maoqing at this time? Just today in Wanshou Palace, you and Yuan Wei had offended Xu Jie badly.

"At this time, old man Xu Jie must be secretly watching you and our Yan family.

If there is any mistake, Xu Jie will immediately turn into a mad dog and bite our Yan family without letting go!" Yan Shaoting immediately revealed a meaningful look.

It turns out that this person didn't really want the money in Yan Maoqing's hand.

But it was because he knew that Xu Jie was watching him.

If Xu Jie hadn't been keeping an eye on it, the money in Yan Maoqing's hands would probably have still ended up in the Yan family's pockets.

Ok.

well.

This is a very small elder.

Yan Shaoting nodded and said, "Since we can't let Yan Maoqing bring the things in, we have to think of a way. It would be best if we close the door and don't see any outsiders from today on."

Yan Song hummed.

I agree with this opinion.

Yan Shifan muttered, "But..."

After Yan Song and Yan Shaoting both looked over.

Yan Shifan waved his hand quickly: "I don't want the money in Yan Maoqing's hand, but I think our family must have an income to support the family's food and drink."

As he spoke, Yan Shifan's eyes kept rolling around.

After a while.

He clapped his hands and said, "We have already set up foreign trading companies. Since the court is in serious deficit right now, everyone in the court is watching.

Then our family should look outside, can we go overseas and make some money to supplement the family income?"

When Yan Shifan mentioned this matter.

Yan Song did not express his opinion but fell into deep thought.

Instead, Yan Shaoting looked at Yan Shifan with some surprise.

The old guy actually thought of this.

Yan Shaoting nodded immediately: "Father is wise!"

Yan Shifan raised his head suddenly.

He looked at Yan Shaoting with surprise in his eyes.

If it weren’t for so many years of cultivation.

He almost burst into tears.

This rebellious son has finally never disobeyed me once!

Yan Shifan immediately said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, you are now in charge of foreign trade. Now there is only one business with the Spanish merchant Bo Fugui, which is Southeast Silk. Do you think you can let him do some other business with our family?"

talking.

Yan Shifan turned his head and looked at the old man who had not spoken yet.

"We in Jiangxi also have many specialties. Our Lushan Cloud Tea is a good business."

"There is also Wuyuan in Huizhou next to us in Jiangxi, which produces countless porcelains. If there is an opportunity, we can also take over this business."

Yan Song pondered, then opened his eyes and looked at Yan Shaoting.

Yan Shaoting nodded and said with a smile: "In our business with overseas countries, our goods have always been exported and overseas money has been imported. Tea, porcelain, silk, and cotton cloth are the major commodities. If we do these businesses, it is feasible."

Yan Shifan clapped his hands and said, "What are you waiting for? Find a day to call that Bai Fugui over so that I can have a good talk with him."

Yan Shaoting shook his head and said, "For now, let's wait until Yan Maoqing's incident is over before discussing it. If my guess is correct, after this incident is over, the matter of suppressing the Japanese in Zhejiang will also have to be concluded.

By then it will be the end of the year, and the next year will be the Spring Examination. There will be so many things to discuss, and we have to wait until then to discuss this matter."

Even though the Yan family suffered a major financial loss at the beginning of the year, they still had some financial resources.

However, the rest are already within the range recognized by the old Taoist priest.

It is impossible to say that the Yan family cannot afford food.

There is no rush to get money for the Yan family now.

When Yan Shifan heard Yan Shaoting say this, he could only move his mouth.

He changed the subject and said, "Last time, you asked me to help Prince Yu's Mansion in the Ministry of Works. I have done a lot of this recently, and the Prince's Mansion didn't say anything."

Yan Song hummed and closed his eyes.

"Just keep doing what you are doing, and you won't go wrong."

"Wait for others to make mistakes."

Yan Shifan nodded.

Yan Shaoting looked surprised.

Is there anything about these two that I don’t know?
Can't think clearly.

I see that everything has been discussed almost completely.

Yan Shaoting then took his leave.

The next day.

The three members of the Yan family, grandfather, grandson, and daughter, each submitted a memorial, saying that they were ill and requesting to rest at home.

The memorial arrived at the West Garden.

The emperor soon issued an oral decree to approve the plan, and also asked Lu Fang to personally bring the imperial physician to Yan's mansion.

In the family of the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, three generations of a family, a grandfather and his grandchildren, all fell ill.

This news quickly spread throughout the capital.

When people arrived outside Yan's house, they saw the servants who brought Lu Fang and the imperial physician out. Their faces were covered with tears and they looked miserable.

Lu Fang was seen sighing again.

The imperial physician just shook his head.

moment.

Everyone in the capital was surprised.

As a result, more and more people came to inquire about the news in the Yan Mansion.

Soon the news came out.

The old and young masters of the Yan family indeed fell seriously ill suddenly.

moment.

The news spread throughout the city of Beijing.

It becomes...

The old and young masters of the Yan family are about to die!

Monthly ticket recommendation ticket

　Report the matter to the masters.

I owed a chapter last month, and this month I have received over 500 monthly votes. According to the established rules, I will add another chapter, which means I owe two chapters.

Since it was released on the 15th of last month, Rousi has updated words three times a day. Some readers may feel that the content is a bit watery, or not as exciting as before, and there will be various problems.

I am trying my best to make up for this. Long serial novels will have such problems to some extent, but I still hope to do better and maintain stable updates so that the quality does not decline.

However, my body really couldn’t take it. I posted 10,000 posts a day for a month without missing a single post. Even when I was not feeling well last time, I still did not miss an update.

I go to bed at three or four o'clock in the morning recently. When I lie in bed, I feel a tightness in my chest and my heart beats uncomfortably.

I am also adjusting my work and rest schedule, hoping to maintain a good body. Today, I went out for a seven-kilometer ride and my legs became sore, but I will still persist, exercise and stay energetic.

Having said so much, it doesn’t mean that I will reduce the number of updates, or that I won’t pay back the two chapters I owe. I will give you a preview that it will be on the homepage for best-selling recommendations after midnight tonight, and it will be updated normally at the same time tomorrow, and then one more chapter will be added, making it four chapters tomorrow. So by then I will only owe you one chapter update, and I will continue to pay it back later.

good night.
