Prepare for a rainy day

Hearing this, Yan San didn't say anything further.

In fact, he knew very well that Miss Lu was not entirely to blame for what happened this time.

After all, the Lu family was involved in such a devastating disaster. As a powerless girl, she wanted to protect the Lu family, so it was understandable.

He was just worried about his brothers below, and it seemed that he finally had a few days of peace and quiet.

It was so broken.

in the future

"Your Majesty taught you a lesson."

"My subordinates just had a misunderstanding. The source of this matter is the Prime Minister. Since he won't let us have fun, shall we also find something to do for him?"

Hearing this, King Jin smiled softly and said, "Of course, he has made life difficult for my brothers. How can we just let him go?"

In the past, he basically avoided the sharp edges of high ministers, but there was nothing he could do about it.

After all, Emperor Hongwen wanted to touch him so much, but he couldn't do anything about it, so what could he do?

But things are different now. Emperor Hongwen has been sharpening his sword, and the prime minister is fast declining.

Whether it's beating up a drowned dog, venting anger for brothers, or even...

He has to show off his minions.

"You go and do two things for me."

Not long after, Yan San quickly exited the study.

The next day.

Lu Yaoyao woke up early, lay on the bed, and immediately called up the universal search engine interface.

Looking at the pitiful points in the lower right corner, she immediately began to think about how to earn points quickly.

Remembering that she could also gain points by helping others make perfume, she immediately started making perfume.

Setting up a factory, she must set up a factory, so when the time comes to recruit some people to make perfumes, soaps, etc., won’t her points come back all at once?

Having an idea, she immediately got out of bed. After washing herself, Qiu Yu had already brought her breakfast.

"Qiu Shuang, go and invite your second uncle."

Not long after, the second uncle of the Lu family came.

"Have you had breakfast, uncle?"

The big things that were pressing on his mind had been taken care of, and Uncle Lu's face no longer looked sad, and he was back to his usual smiling look.

"Nope."

"Second uncle, hurry up and sit down."

Qiu Yu next to me was very sensible and went to bring another breakfast.

"Second uncle, how are the preparations for the perfume making workshop going?"

"The manpower and materials have been prepared, but because of the Lu family's affairs, we haven't been able to do anything yet."

"I plan to go and get people moving soon, and I have to find some shops later."

"But there's nothing we can do about the soap at the moment."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao nodded and said, "I already have an idea about the soap. Just leave it to me, and my uncle will be busy with the perfume."

"become."

Second Uncle Lu responded readily.

After breakfast, he went out to do his own business.

"Qiu Shuang, let Lao Kang come over. I have something I want him to do."

Qiu Shuang stepped back in response. The farm was on the outskirts of Beijing, so this trip didn't take much time.

In about an hour, Lao Kang followed Qiu Shuang to the house.

"This old slave has met the young lady."

"No need to be polite, just sit down."

Lao Kang gave another salute before walking to the edge and sitting down.

Just as he sat down, Qiu Yu brought a wooden box and placed it on the small table next to him.

"Here are two hundred thousand taels of silver. You can use it to buy all the wasteland around the farm, as well as the barren hill behind the farm."

Lao Kang was stunned when he heard this. To buy barren mountains and land, it would cost 200,000 taels of silver?

"Miss, this is you."

"Gu Jian and the others will be back in a few days. The village is small and I need to build a house."

"Also, I have done some business recently, and I need workshops and other things, all of which require land. You go buy the land first, and I will let Qiu Shuang inform you about the rest."

Lao Kang responded.

"Miss, do you have any other instructions?"

He knew very well that when Lu Yaoyao called him over, it was definitely not just about giving him money to buy land.

If that's all it takes, just tell Qiu Shuang to take the lead.

"You know about the Lu family, right?"

"I've heard this, Miss. Are you planning to take action against the Gao family?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's not the time yet."

She will definitely have a fight with the Gao family, but now the Lu family is still in a whirlpool.

Although Emperor Hongwen had made his position clear, she still didn't know how things would go next.

Attacking the Gao family at this time will only intensify the conflict. If Gao Yanming uses some means at that time.

Then even if the Lu family doesn't die, I'm afraid they will still be stigmatized.

To move the Gao family, the Lu family must first get out of the whirlpool.

However, although you can't do it blatantly, you can still collect some interest, right?

"I heard that standing behind the Gao family is the Hedong Han family."

The Han family in Hedong is the head of the five major noble families in Dongzhou.

It can be said that the power is spread throughout the entire Eastern Continent.

In fact, at the beginning of the founding of Dongzhou, the Han family was not so powerful.

It was just that Dongzhou had just been founded at that time, and the living standards of the people were really poor. Taizu himself was born into a poor man.

I can understand the hardships of the poor the most, so after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the focus was on people's livelihood.

For example, temporary exemption of land tax, tax reduction and exemption for various industries, etc.

The policies for the salt industry are also relatively loose.

There was little crackdown on illegal salt production, and the salt industry was even exempted from taxes for a time.

This approach has a good effect, and it has quickly made many people rich and their living standards have improved a lot.

It's a pity that someone took advantage of the loophole. By the time they reacted, the Han family had already established a firm foothold.

It was not that Emperor Hongwen had not touched the salt industry in the past few years, but after the Han family's operations, Emperor Hongwen was very passive and even once plunged Dongzhou into civil strife.

In the end, it is said that the two parties reached an agreement privately, and Emperor Hongwen was not allowed to illicit salt and could collect taxes.

However, compared to the Han family's annual income, that little tax is really nothing.

Unfortunately, Emperor Hongwen had no choice.

"You don't want to take action against the Han family, do you?"

Lao Kang finally understood, and his expression immediately changed.

With their current strength, even if they want to attack the Gao family, they are very reluctant. The Han family is such an existence that even Emperor Hongwen has to bow his head.

Lu Yaoyao was silent for a moment, then shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not like we're going to take action, we're just preparing for a rainy day."

"Lao Kang, with these two hundred thousand taels of silver, I still need your help to buy some things."

Half an hour later, Lao Kang left with the money.

"Miss, you can just buy the wasteland and mountains next to Zhuangzi. Why are you buying the rock salt mine?"

"Do you want to sell coarse salt?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao just smiled and didn't reply.

Kosher salt?

As a person from Earth, let alone coarse salt, even the highest quality green salt in Eastern Continent is nothing in her eyes.

What she wants to do is refined salt, but she is doing it, and she has no plans to expose it yet.

And she can't expose this thing now, otherwise not only the Han family will cause trouble for her, but also other forces, and even Emperor Hongwen will cause trouble for her.

As she said, this is just a precautionary measure.
