Soldiers Card System

The wind is bitter, and the snowflakes are fluttering.

When Su Lu came out of Xiao Mansion, it was already late, and the lanterns hanging on the gate tower were dangling in the cold wind and snowflakes, illuminating the square in front of the gate.

The Marines commanded the guards to pull the carriage over, and wanted to invite Su Lu to horse.

Su Lu waved his hand and refused:

"I'm walking on the long street. Let's go back to the palace by the carriage first. It's been a long time since I walked on the long street. This capital has changed so much that I can hardly recognize it anymore."

On both sides of the long street, restaurants and restaurants are scattered, and the high hanging lanterns illuminate the nearby streets, reflecting half of the sky.

Even though it is snowy and winter, there are still an endless stream of people on the street and at the entrance of the restaurant.

A thick layer of snow has accumulated, and when walking on the road, the sound of creaking is endless.

Lu Zhan gave a few words, then turned around and chased after him with a few guards. The prince wants to patrol the capital at night, so he naturally has to take precautions and not let the prince’s safety go wrong.

The enthusiasm was intertwined, the sound of banqueting came from the restaurant beside the road, and the bold toasting sounded one after another, making this cold winter night also stained with a layer of warmth.

Su Lu asked Lu Zhan next to him and said:

"I remember that although the capital was lively in the past, there were not so many restaurants, and there were not so many people in the restaurants."

Lu Zhan nodded and responded:

"Yes, over the past ten years of effort, the capital has become prosperous. This is all thanks to you, the lord."

The guards next to him also said in a pile of voices:

"Yes, it's all the prince's credit. The opening of the stone track line has made many people a lot of money."

"The sea is open. I heard that the ships from Lai Fuxiang and Heng Taichang have all gone to Intermalaga. They shipped out a full ship of porcelain and silk, and brought back a full ship of gold and silver."

The guards said, their tone was full of envy.

Su Lu only felt comfortable in his heart. He opened the stone trajectory and opened the sea route, not to promote commercial development, to make the country prosperous and the people strong, and to make the people live well. Now this scene fits his own intentions.

"Why, did you see the full ship of gold and silver with your own eyes?"

Su Lu asked, and slapped the snowflakes on his body.

Merchants are indispensable, but they must not be too much, otherwise it will restrain the agricultural workers and have an adverse impact on the country. Just like the saying that the ship is full of gold and silver, it is naturally banned.

There is no problem in making money secretly, but if the ship is full of gold and silver, the money will naturally be collected.

The guard who spoke just now blushed and said excitedly:

"Really, prince, there is a kid in our village who works as a guy in Fuxiang, he has seen it with his own eyes, the boat full of gold and silver."

Gao Dabao also yelled beside him:

"My boss left the army and went to Lai Fuxiang. As a sea-going team, he ran to Malaga several times. When he came back, he told me that shopkeeper Su was not doing business. He used a boat to pull money. ."

Su Lu frowned when he heard the news. The Ministry of Rites didn't pay much attention to such news. Doesn't he know what kind of rumors such rumors will cause among the people?

When the time comes, people all over the country will go to sea trade, no one wants to farm land, the household department cannot collect grain, and the military department cannot recruit sergeants, so Qian Qianyi, the Shangshu, should be dismissed.

"Lord"

In the snow ahead, a sound of astonishment suddenly sounded.

Su Lu looked up and saw Qian Qianyi and Dong Chengzheng who were wrapped like cotton **** walking towards each other. Behind them, they followed a few guards scatteredly. When they saw Su Lu, they walked a few steps quickly and arrived at Su Lu. before.

Su Lu waved his hand, stopped the two of them from saluting, and asked:

"Gong Qian, Dong Gong, why are you interested in going shopping in the middle of the night?"

Qian Qianyi was prevented from saluting, and he was smiling. He began to look sad when he heard Su Lu's questioning.

"Look at the prince, the merchants in the capital are quite Sheng, which has brought a lot of influence on the court officials and the students of the school. Some officials have resigned and started business, and the students have gone on a long journey. This trend really worries me."

Dong Cheng also said next to him:

"The army is also quite unstable. Many school lieutenants have left the army and turned to become martial artists in the business, just to make more money. If this trend continues, the source of our Han army will be dangerous. what."

"Qian Shangshu and I have been visiting various places in Beijing these days, but with limited knowledge and short-sightedness, we finally couldn't find a solution to the problem."

Qian Qianyi pinched his beard, and the lantern from the restaurant hit his face, looking gloomy.

"The official stupidity is really unable to find a remedy. I don't understand why even the sages can be thrown away, just for those dumb things."

Su Lu pointed to the restaurant and said with a smile:

"In that case, let's go in for a meal and see why this restaurant has such a good business."

Lu Zhan walked a few steps quickly, went up the steps, pulled the bartender, and ordered a few words in a low voice.

The bartender was also a clever ghost. Looking at the costumes of the three of them, he knew that it was not easy. With twelve minutes of caution, they led the three to the second floor lounge and ordered hot soup and tea.

"We have Chudi's fine wine Yulouchun, Qidi's seafood double-headed abalone, I don't know what the three masters want to use, you order, and I will order the back chef to arrange it."

Su Lu asked with a smile:

"Nowadays sea trade is very popular, Xiao Er, your restaurant is so big, what can you eat from overseas?"

Hearing this, Xiao Er shook his head like a rattle, and said with a smile:

"It's good that this master knows that overseas are barbarians, and there are some gold and silver, but this food is not as rich as my Han country, fruits and the like, but you can try it, but you can't eat it."

Qian Qianyi smiled and said with a smile:

"Just be good, kid, go, and bring some of your specialties. By the way, arrange a table for my companions to eat, just come up."

Xiao Er agreed and went happily.

Su Lu took a look at the second floor. The hall on the second floor was not big. There were only six round tables. Three of them were surrounded by customers, but the lobby on the first floor was filled with guests drinking and boxing. It was a lively scene.

Withdrawing his gaze, Su Lu smiled and said to Qian Qianyi:

"The business of this restaurant is really good, and the surplus is definitely quite good. I don't know that your monthly salary of Qian Shangshu is comparable to the surplus of this restaurant in a day."

Qian Qianyi raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, his voice was full of determination:

"The prince is joking. If the surplus of this restaurant with only a few dozen tables can match my salary, then my salary is too low."

"Money come, go, call the shopkeeper of this restaurant and ask him how much his monthly surplus is. Is it higher than my salary, Qian Qianyi."

The guards followed their table and stood up with Qian Qianyi's escort. Qian looked at Qian Qianyi with embarrassment on his face:

"Let's not ask, sir, how much surplus people have, what does it have to do with us."

"It's better not to ask."

The money came to aggravate the need to ask a lot.

Qian Qianyi instantly had a bad feeling in his heart...
