The source of money and food in Shence Mansion comes from three directions.

One is commercial taxation. Because a large number of workshops and merchants gather, commercial tax has always been the most important source of wealth for Shence Mansion.

The second is the money house. Relying on the credit of Shence Mansion, the money house in Shence Mansion has made more than 30 million guan each year. This number is still increasing like a snowball, especially the money house has begun to be more widely accepted. Therefore, the money house not only makes profits, but can only temporarily move almost unlimited money and grain in case of emergency needs.

As for this third profit, it is a Shence Mansion Trading Company, which is profitable. This business mainly trades with the desert. Because it monopolizes tea, it basically makes a profit. It uses goods worthless to transport to the desert, and then uses cattle, sheep and fur from the desert to enter Henan Mansion, and finally makes huge profits, with annual profits of up to 70 million yuan.

The current annual income of Shence Mansion is approximately 200 million yuan, and this huge caravan has contributed nearly 30% of its income.

This is the lifeblood of His Highness Princess Taiping and the lifeblood of Qin Shaoyou.

Now Wei Hongmin is obviously thinking about this, and the capital he relies on naturally comes from his level. That is to say, as long as Henan Prefecture wants to trade with the desert, it must pass through Hebei, and then he has the foundation for asking for benefits.

But……

Wang Ju smiled bitterly and shook his head. Hebei was the foundation of Wei Hongmin, but the caravan was the foundation of Qin Shaoyou and even the entire Henan Prefecture. Once the caravan made a mistake, the current Shence Prefecture's annual expenditure was around 150 million guan. If this transaction was broken, it would mean that Shence Prefecture would not make ends meet.

Wei Hongmin must have wanted to use this as a threat, so Wang Ju couldn't help asking: "Governor Zhaoyi wants how to pull the hair when he passes by."

Yang Jiong smiled and said, "All goods, one to ten."

Wang Ju took a breath. Ten draws are not simply asking for one tenth of benefits. Shence Mansion needs to pay a lot of costs for this trade, such as recruiting people to make tea, purchasing tea, etc., organizing a caravan, such as the continuous waterway, land loss, and generally, making a profit of ten thousand jin. At least five jin of money is required, and directly drawing one tenth of the goods means that Wei Hongmin has to withdraw 30% of the caravan at one time to make a profit.

If he wants to take at least 20 million trump cards in a year, if trade expands in the future, the more profit he will make.

This does not include that once Wei Hongmin is satisfied, other military towns may also follow suit. Wherever the entire Shence Mansion caravan goes, they will be drawn, and they will be pitifully less profitable to Shence Mansion. Not only that, if the Shence Mansion caravan wants to draw one ten times, then what about the goods of other merchants? If everyone follows the example, what does this mean? It means that the industry and commerce of Henan Prefecture are just making wedding dresses for others, and all the benefits will be eaten by these wolves and tigers.

Wang Ju couldn't help laughing: "Wei Hongmin has a big appetite, it's so funny."

Yang Jiong said solemnly: "Although it is ridiculous, it is an unavoidable problem. Because of this, Your Highness is furious, and even the Emperor. Now the Emperor, Your Highness and the Minister of Yang are discussing countermeasures in the palace, but I am afraid it won't take long. Your Highness will be back. At that time, it is the time when the Shence Mansion is dealing with it. Wei Hongmin had just arrived in Hebei, and the court allocated a lot of money and grain. Now he has obtained the money and grain from the Hebei treasury treasury and recruited soldiers everywhere. It is very powerful. He has trained 50,000 Zhaoyi Army and should not be underestimated. This is why the Emperor attaches great importance to this. The Emperor and Your Highness, now..." Yang Jiong looked around, lowered his voice, and said, "Now he is sharing weal and woe, and the Emperor is also worried about this."

Wang Ju said: "What if Your Highness refuses to give Wei Hongmin benefits?"

Yang Jiong shook his head: "It's not clear. When Wei Hongmin first took office, he did not dare to make things difficult for the merchants in Henan Province. This is because he had no capital at that time. Now, he recruited soldiers everywhere, had capital, and had the support of the court and the towns. He had the confidence, so he took this opportunity to attack. I think Wei Hongmin is definitely not a rash person. Since he chose this time to make things difficult, he would never give up easily. If the Shence Mansion refused, then he would have to make things difficult for the caravan of the Shence Mansion."

Wang Jue nodded, and planned in his heart. If so, how should Shen Ce Mansion deal with it?

Waiting around, he didn't see Qin Shaoyou coming. The people who came to wait couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

There was a different scene in Luoyang Palace.

Wu Zetian was furious.

Of course she knew why Wei Hongmin was so extorted, it was nothing more than if the Shence Mansion gave in, he could sit down and collect money, and he could still make more money in the future. But if he refused to give in, he could take the opportunity to attack.

Wu Zetian knew even more that he was closely related to Shence Mansion. Wei Hongmin's move was aimed at Henan Mansion, Qin Shaoyou, and he was also targeted at himself.

In this huge Xuanzheng Hall, there are only Qin Shaoyou and Yang Zaisi sitting.

Wu Zetian walked anxiously for a few steps, her phoenix eyes flashed. After a long time, she raised her eyes: "What if Shen Ce Mansion does not respond?"

Yang Zaisi coughed and said, "Since Wei Hongmin sent someone, how could he give up easily? If he did not respond, he would be afraid that all the caravans passing through Hebei would be intercepted by him."

Wu Zetian sneered: "Then let him try it."

Although he said this, Wu Zetian knew very well that Wei Hongmin would definitely dare to do this. Anyway, Zhao Yijun just wanted to find a reason, just to transport contraband or other reasons. Why not be so worried about the crime?

Yang Zaisi said: "Your Highness, you must have a complete solution now, otherwise..."

Yang Zaisi kept looking at Qin Shaoyou. Qin Shaoyou was the real master, but why did Qin Shaoyou not say anything? It seemed like this was my trouble.

Wu Zetian shook her head: "All-all-round strategy? That Wei's surname is probably doing it intentionally. How can he deal with it with the "All-all-round strategy"?"
