For Han Yi, the matter of Li Yi's mansion was just a spring breeze, which was worth ten cents of money. Because Li Yi's mansion's resignation was not controlled by him. In his plan, there was no such link, and the impact on his plan was not very big. Reforming the canal transportation was a very important part of his plan. Therefore, he soon focused on the canal transportation.

This project is very large, and there are too many things to do. For half a month, Han Yi stayed in the Ministry of Revenue almost every day, and discussed with Zhang Daxiang, mainly about the issue of money. One important issue involved is how to share the central finance and local finances, because the court had to build warehouses in many places. Is this the local government paying the money or the imperial court paying the money or half of each.

The final decision was to pay the entire expenditure by the central government, because Han Yi considered that there was really no money in the local area, and that some states such as Luoyang and Yangzhou were relatively wealthy, and most prefectures and counties lived in poverty. The small peasant economy was to achieve the ultimate goal, which means that they would not have to worry about food and clothing. The local government would just pay the taxes, so don’t add any burden to the local government.

However, the imperial court only paid money, that is, the central government allocated funds to find people to build warehouses from local governments, and stimulated the local economy by the way, and prevented some people from taking bribes. If the central government allocated funds and the local government did it, then the warehouse would probably be covered with paper, and the government would generally work hard for the people, which was contrary to the original intention of reforming the canal transportation.

In addition, Han Yi also called wealthy businessmen in Chang'an, hoping that they would contribute money and help the court.

The wealthy businessmen in Chang'an agreed very readily. At that time, these wealthy businessmen had already agreed to pay to help the court manage the rivers. They were not stupid. This river was their lifeline, and the restructuring of the canal transportation no longer had priority in the rivers. Now that the merchant ship encountered the canal ship, the son saw his father, so they were willing to agree and contribute money and efforts to the court for free.

In fact, they should pay the money because they have made a lot of money now, but the tax they pay is similar to that of ordinary people. Now that the court needs help, they will certainly have some efforts.

But this was rarely seen before. In the eyes of the world, merchants were profit-oriented. In the past, the court used to force them to pay with a knife, but now, they are willing to pay for money, which caused a lot of sensation.

This also shifted the people's eyes from Li Yi Mansion to the canal transportation.

However, this model leads to a very complex capital structure, which was not before. In the past, the imperial court did more money and less money, which was not a matter of doing business, because the capital structure was very simple, and the profits and losses were all from the imperial court, but now it is different. Since the merchants participated and the transaction between the imperial court and the merchants also included the transaction between the imperial court, every penny had to be used on the edge. Therefore, Han Yi planned to place the settlements on both sides in the Jinchang, and the Jinchang was an intermediate institution to combine the imperial court and the merchants to avoid direct interest relations between the imperial court and the merchants.

At the third update, all the stores in Beixiang had already closed, but Jinxing was still brightly lit. In recent days, this has become the norm.

"Huh--it's finally solved."

Han Yi came to the VIP room and felt soft. He collapsed on the sofa and felt tired even when he raised his finger.

Jinjian is actually the prototype of a bank, but it is just a prototype. It used to have only loan and saving functions, but now Han Yi has placed settlement in Jinjian, which undoubtedly upgraded Jinjian again, which involves many businesses that have never been involved before. This requires the arrangement of new jobs, personnel changes, and settlement processes.

The most iconic thing is that the Ministry of Revenue opened a special account in the Jin Bank, so the Jin Bank had to provide a complete set of unique deposit and withdrawal procedures for the court.

This requires Han Yi's financial knowledge that is beyond the times, and Sang Mu can't help much. Therefore, Han Yi has been in the Jinxing market these days, busy implementing this matter, working until the third day of the day.

Fortunately, Han Yi used to work like this, either he would just wander outside every day. If he received a task, he would often stay all night long. No matter how boring he was, he could watch all day long, such as papers or contracts, which was also his success.

"My benefactor, you go back and rest first. I'll do the remaining trivial things."

After Sang Mu put the information down, he saw Han Yi lying on the sofa and almost fell asleep, so he said.

Han Yi opened his eyes, sat up, and smiled and said, "It's already this time, so it's no different from getting early or late. Everyone has been very tired these days. I'm here, at least to balance them. I'm working so hard. What reason do they have to not work hard? In addition, I have to accompany our Sangmu Chief Executive to have the midnight snack."

Sang Mu laughed and said, "My benefactor, I dare not take this."

After a while, the midnight snack was delivered. This is also the favorite moment for Jinxing employees in the past few days, because this midnight snack is very rich, and it is no different from eating at a restaurant. There are big fish and meat every day, and soup is made every day.

Han Yi and Sang Mu sat in the VIP room and ate.

Han Yi and Sang Mu had a cup, smashed it a few times, suddenly blinked at Sang Mu, and said, "I said Sang Mu, what's going on with you and Sister Liu?"

Sang Mu made a "ah" sound, and it seemed a little unexpected.

"What, even Xiaopang knows about you and Sister Liu, and you two don't have a family, so it's very normal to be together. I really don't know what the meaning of your sneakyness is. Is it because of the excitement?" Afterwards, Han Yi looked gossipy again...

"What a stimulation, I don't understand what you are saying, benefactor." Sang Mu smiled awkwardly and said, "It's not my fault. Sister Liu doesn't want to say it, but it doesn't matter. I think it's good to live like this. Haha!"

Han Yi said: "You are not young in marriage, so it doesn't matter whether you do it or not. I don't care much about these red tape, but what about this problem with descendants?"

Sang Mu was stunned for a moment and sighed: "This is also the reason why Sister Liu refused to make it public. She is not young anymore and may not be able to give birth, but I-I--!"

Han Yi smiled and said, "You just like Sister Liu, right?"

Sang Mu nodded awkwardly.

He is a man who values ​​love and righteousness and believes in the truth. If he recognizes it, he will not change easily. In fact, with his current status and value, finding a concubine and continuing the family line is not a problem at all, but he is just stubborn in this regard and can't make a mistake.

Sang Mu suddenly said again: "My benefactor, actually - actually, I want to ask you for advice on this matter."

Han Yishou raised his hand and said, "Don't ask me for advice on this matter. I am not very enlightened in this regard, but we can learn from each other and make progress together."

Sang Mu nodded with a smile and said, "Since Sister Liu can't give birth, I plan to adopt someone outside. Isn't the Women's Federation taking in orphans recently? Can you see if you can--!"

Han Yi was stunned, "Wow! Sang Mu, I didn't expect that you were so avant-garde."

Sang Mu was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "This - this is not what everyone does. Many people have no descendants and adopt them from their brothers. But I don't have brothers, so I can only go outside to adopt one."

"That's true." Han Yi nodded and said, "I think it's OK. Adopting more is OK. Anyway, we are not short of money. Some people only know how to give birth and don't care about whether to raise or not. Many babies are thrown away on the roadside. Oh. Don't worry, I'll let Yuncheng pay attention to this matter, but you have to discuss it with Sister Liu first."

Sang Mu nodded and said, "That's my best man."

"We both said this and saw it. Come on, have a drink, I wish you a father as soon as possible."

These words made Sang Mu feel embarrassed and couldn't have a drink with Han Yi. As soon as the wine fell into her stomach, he seemed to remember something again and said, "By the way, benefactor, your manor has been all ready. When will you go and see it?"

Han Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go after these things. Anyway, it's summer now, and the advantages of hot springs cannot be highlighted." But he thought to himself that he had to plan this matter well so as not to make a monk change.

The manor is built, which means that he plans to marry Yang Feixue to the door, and it also means that Yuan Mudan is going to meet Xiao Wuyi, as well as Han Xuanpin and Han Rui, a half-sibling. Han Yi is both expecting and nervous about this. As he himself said, he has a low awareness in this regard, and he cannot predict what will happen then, but his dream is to live together with a family, so no matter how difficult it is, he must do it.

On that morning, Wu Meiniang sat in the pavilion in the garden, savoring fragrant tea while waving the cool morning breeze, but her expression was not at all leisurely, as if she was waiting for something.

After a while, a palace maid came over quickly, "I have seen the queen."

Wu Meiniang looked at the palace maid and then asked the palace maid who had retreated to serve him.

The palace maid came to the pavilion and said tremblingly: "Report to the Queen, I have already checked it out some of my eyes."

A murderous aura flashed in Wu Meiniang's eyes and she said lightly: "Who is it?"

“Yes—Yes—!”

The palace maid sweats and stutters.

Wu Meiniang looked at the palace maid in surprise and said, "You said that!"

"yes!"

The palace maid swallowed and said, "According to the queen's orders, I ordered people to monitor outside the palace gates. At the fourth update today, a carriage really came out from the east gate. Our people followed them all the way, and the result was - the result - discovered."

"What exactly are you today? You are talking hesitantly." Wu Meiniang couldn't help feeling very unhappy when she heard her want to speak a few times.

The palace maid lowered her head and said with a beak, "It turned out that the carriage had entered the Korean Lady's Mansion."

After the palace maid finished speaking, she immediately closed her eyes, but after a while, she found that there was no movement. She couldn't help but open her eyes secretly. She saw Wu Meiniang sitting motionless, as if someone had cast a solid curse. She felt a little worried in her heart and shouted in a low voice: "Emperor—Queen."

Wu Meiniang was stunned and suddenly stood up, grabbed the palace maid's wrist with one hand, staring at her fiercely, as if she was about to kill someone, and said word by word: "You are serious about this?"

The palace maid was frightened and said tremblingly: "I dared to inform the queen after repeated confirmation. However, our people only saw the carriage driving into the Korean Lady's Mansion, but they did not see clearly who was inside the carriage."

"elder sister!"
