Chapter 135 of the main text of my life in Dakang: I am not afraid of you being greedy, but I am afraid that you will not do anything and sit in your study. Tang Youbao looked at the boy sitting in the position he should have sat in.

Liu Mingqi had only arrived at Xiushan Mansion for a day, but it had already turned the entire Xiushan Mansion upside down and completely changed.

Liu Mingqi came to Xiushan Mansion to suppress the price of tung oil, and he has done this.

Under his coercion and temptation, a group of merchants from Xiushan Tung Oil Chamber of Commerce rushed to express their loyalty and apology, and directly lowered the price to 18 sen.

The previous price of fifty cents per pound was like a joke.

The price of tung oil in Xiushan Mansion does not represent the price of tung oil in all venues.

But because of a mansion like Xiushan Prefecture, it accounts for 20% of the country's tung oil production.

The remaining 80% of the output is scattered in dozens of prefectures and counties, and of course it cannot gather strength.

So they usually refer to the price of Xiushan Mansion.

No one dares to raise prices on a large scale, otherwise, once the price of tung oil in Xiushan Mansion is dropped, beware that your tung oil will fall into your hands.

Rich people can hold on for a few more days, but if they don’t have enough money and need to turn over, it will be difficult to deal with.

It is rare that Tang Youbao incited the Xiushan Tung Oil Chamber of Commerce to increase the price suddenly, but he didn't know that Liu Mingqi had a backhand and scared the merchants of the Xiushan Tung Oil Chamber of Commerce to the point of urination, and directly shouted that he wanted to lower the price.

In addition to the price of tung oil, Liu Mingqi also cleaned up Dong Jian, the chief banner of the embroidered yarn guard in Xiushan Prefecture in advance.

Dong Jian was originally a scheming and capable person, and even Tang Youbao was a little afraid of him.

How is the result?

As soon as Liu Mingqi came up, she almost cut Dong Jian with a thunderous force, and caught him in the inn and tied him to a tree to whip him.

What an insult this is for an official?

But not only did Dong Jian not explode, but was completely timid and turned into a dog beside Liu Mingqi.

The criminal information and evidence of Chai Hai and Ge Shansi, as well as their property names, etc., were all given by Dong Jian.

yes.

In fact, what Dong Jian really feared was not Liu Mingqi, but the power of the empire represented behind him.

But this guy was so easily impressed, which was something that Tang Youbao could not imagine.

Of course, except for Liu Mingqi, no one dared to destroy the flag of the embroidered garment guard so randomly. He was a serious fifth-rank imperial guard officer who was responsible for the task of monitoring the world!

Come back to your eyes.

Do you want to say that Tang Youbao hates Liu Mingqi?

Definitely hate!

In fact, Tang Youbao never thought that fifty cents per pound of tung oil would be a sky-high price.

If it weren't for Liu Mingqi, but for another person, Tang Youbao at most pretended to protest, and asked the people from the Tung Oil Chamber of Commerce to reduce the price of Tung Oil from fifty to thirty cents.

But this has increased by more than 60% compared to the previous eighteen articles.

He also achieved his true goal.

Unfortunately, Liu Mingqi didn't even have the patience to discuss it with him, so she directly suppressed it, causing Xiushan Tung Oil Chamber of Commerce to immediately reduce the price.

From now on, Tang Youbao's words were not very effective. Are they afraid of King De and the court, or are you, the prefect? ​​Maybe if you complain, you will be finished. What a ruling person?

However, Liu Mingqi unexpectedly handed over all the proceeds from the auction of Chai Hai and Ge Shansi's property to Xiushan Mansion.

After doing such a big trick, Liu Mingqi did not get any benefits, which made Tang Youbao very puzzled.

When Liu Mingqi asked him to enter the study, he still wondered if Liu Mingqi was going to let him secretly give the money.

But Liu Mingqi did not do this.

A total of five million taels were all entered into the household department of the government office. After entering, Liu Mingqi did not say this.

The first sentence Tang Youbao heard was "Prince Tang, come and take a look at these information."

A big man behind Liu Mingqi handed a stack of documents to Tang Youbao.

When Tang Youbao saw it, sweat appeared on his face.

I only knew that the Xiushan Tung Oil Chamber of Commerce had been caught, but now it is his turn.

From four years ago to now, basically 70% of the facts about his corruption and dereliction of duty are written on it.

In many cases, there are also some signatures of some parties involved.

But Tang Youbao was panicked for only a moment, and the next moment he temporarily let go of his heart.

If Liu Mingqi wanted to touch him, she would not show him these things.

I just wanted to lock him up and take him to the capital for trial.

Now Liu Mingqi asked him to see the evidence of the crime just to gain an initiative, and Liu Mingqi wanted to use him.

Since he still has some usefulness, Tang Youbao was not panicked.

However, Tang Youbao was also very bachelor. He said directly: "Your Highness, what do you need me to do?"

clever!

At this moment, no matter how Tang Youbao defended him, it would be useless. It would be better to surrender directly.

At least after listening to Liu Mingqi's conditions, he could know how much room he had for advance and retreat.

Liu Mingqi nodded, "I looked at the information of Xiushan Mansion. Since you, the prefect of Tang, your production and sales have increased by 50% in a few years. This is also an important reason why Xiushan Mansion is becoming more and more prosperous now. I want to ask you, do you really know how to make them increase their production? Or is this achievement just because you followed the trend?"

When Tang Youbao heard Liu Mingqi talk about his political achievements, he was excited: "Of course it was the credit of the officials. They had many disadvantages in planting, harvesting, making, selling, etc. It took me two years to sort out these things, and since then they have made rapid progress. Otherwise, why would they have to raise prices? This is the following official leader!"

Liu Mingqi has a slight jaw.

In fact, Zhang Wancai and the others had already told Liu Mingqi yesterday, including Dong Jian, about the role of Tang Youbao.

This is not surprising.

Being able to become the third largest taxpayer in Sichuan under Ge Songdao's nose, how could Tang Youbao stay in this position without some ability?

Tang Youbao didn't know that it was because of this function that Liu Mingqi let him go.

Otherwise, how could a corrupt official take responsibility in such a location in the heavy-producing area?

"I want Xiushanfu tung oil production to double within three years. Can you do it?" Liu Mingqi asked instead.

"Doubled in three years?" Tang Youbao shook his head immediately, "Impossible! Your Highness, this tung tree is at least a triennial plant. After planting, it will start picking tung seeds and oil to squeeze out oil within three years, but its output will not be very large at the beginning! It will take at least five years of maturity."

"I know there are difficulties, but if you retreat when you encounter difficulties, how can you show your ability?" Liu Mingqi shook her hand: "If you can double the tung oil in three years, I recommend you to be the governor of Sichuan, how about it?"

"Governor of Sichuan? I am fifty-three years old! It's fifty-six in three years!"

"What's the point of fifty years old? You're still a middle-aged man! You're only in your sixties after being a governor of Sichuan. If you're lucky, you can still get a title of Minister of State to retire. Isn't this glorious family?

Those who are officials do not want to step down.

Even in my seventies or eighties, I still want to work hard for the world for another twenty or thirty years.

Tang Youbao likes money and power. He was also a member of the Hanlin Academy back then.

Although he is just a prefect, he still has remaining dreams in his heart.

Hearing Liu Mingqi's promise and encouragement, he was still a little unbelievable: "Your Highness, if you want to say that you killed me, I believe you have the ability. But the major affairs of the court, especially the appointment of the governor of a province, are not something you, a prince, can interfere with?"

"Do you know Miao Yan?" Liu Mingqi asked.

"Of course I know."

"Miao Yan was the governor of the canal transportation when he was the one I recommended." Liu Mingqi pointed at himself and said, "As long as you have the ability, they all believe the people I recommend... By the way, there is Liao Shicong. Without me, can he be the Minister of War?"

When Tang Youbao heard this, he was obviously moved.

Miao Yan was promoted from the prefect of the Imperial Capital Prefecture to the second-rank governor of the Cao Transportation Army. The promotion speed was really amazing.

Thinking about the close relationship between Liu Mingqi and Miao Yan, as well as the various support from Liu Mingqi after Miao Yan took office, it really doesn’t seem like lying.

Besides, can a great man like King De lie about this?

If it is spread in the future, will he still be a human being?

Tang Youbao didn't know that he was actually fooled.

Miao Yan's appointment as the governor of the canal transportation was Jinghe Emperor who asked Liu Mingqi to suggest among the several candidates.

Liao Shicong's Minister of War had nothing to do with Liu Mingqi.

Now Liu Mingqi is fooling Tang Youbao into doing things before talking about it.

It is not impossible to really meet his requirements in the future and it is not impossible to allow him to be a "Tung Oil Governor"!

As tung oil will become more and more effective in shipping in the future, it is not an exaggeration to set up a third-rank governor.

Isn’t this third-rank governor almost the same as the governor of Sichuan!

After thinking about it for a while, Tang Youbao finally got on the pirate ship: "Your Highness, then I will give it a try! Try to meet your requirements!"

"good!"

Liu Mingqi clapped her hands: "Now you should know why I left the five million taels of silver for Xiushan Mansion? I need all kinds of supporting support from the government, various road construction, land reclamation, guidance, etc., you can do it with confidence and boldness!"
