"Brother——, now!"

"Then... it works!" Wu Zheng had no choice but to ask someone to call Mo Zhinian.

Mo Zhinian hurried in. When he saw the three girls, he was stunned and quickly saluted.

Wu Zheng said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Mo went this trip, to ask, how much is the tax paid in a year under the Weaving Department under the Financial Department?"

Mo Zhinian hesitated for a moment and replied: "It should be more than one.2 million taels, the exact amount, and you have to go back to find the certificate before the account book can answer the prince."

Wu Zheng shook his hand and said, "No need. I just want to ask about the approximate number. Mr. Mo, is it feasible if he wants to double the tax a year to 2.4 million taels?"

Mo Zheng didn't understand Wu Zheng's intention, so he thought for a while and said, "It's feasible, but it's feasible. The government ordered the expansion of the area of ​​sericulture planting and recruiting more weaver and embroidery girls, which should be able to reach the number that the prince said. However, if it's just because the tax is doubled, it's probably not worth the loss."

“Why?”

"A large amount of farmland is converted into mulberry fields, and the grain will be inadequate. It is okay for the weaving household to say, but the embroidery girl is not easy to train. The prince must know that an embroidery girl has been transformed from the age of thirteen to the age of twenty to the point where she can't be able to teach and train embroidery girl. Her embroidery career is only eight years, with the longest being no more than twelve or three years. So... I would like to think twice."

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Mr. Mo misunderstood. I don't mean to let the people change the mulberry. I just thought that it would be a loss to sell so many silks in Jiangnan to northern and foreign merchants with materials. It just so happened that the younger sisters and the others were interested in picking up the Weaving Mansion, and wanted to use the manpower of the Weaving Mansion to promote the large-scale production of clothing. The same piece of silk can double the price of fabrics, or even more than a dozen times. This can not only drive the development of an industry, but also increase the added value of Jiangnan silk... I want to hear what Mr. Mo said."

Mo Zhinian glanced at the three girls in surprise, "What the prince means is... the wife and the county lord will manage the weaving house?"

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Yes. They just told me that as long as they take over, they can double the tax paid by the Weaver Mansion in one year."

Mo Zhinian smiled and said, "That's good! But... there are currently more than a dozen officials and hundreds of clerks in the Weaver Mansion. What does the prince mean? "

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Those who are willing to continue to stay in the Weaving Mansion will be retained at the original level, and those who are unwilling to stay will be moved to various prefectures and counties according to their grade."

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng suddenly laughed and said, "Don't worry about having nowhere to settle. Next year, there will be new prefectures and counties under the rule of the General's Mansion."

Mo Zhinian smiled knowingly and said, "There are still many vacancies in various prefectures and counties, so it should be possible to place these people. Since the prince has decided, let's do it like this."

Wu Zheng turned to Wu Xiaomei and said, "Little sister, I will give you this opportunity, but a year later, if something goes wrong, you have to return the Weaving Mansion. At that time, don't blame me for not supporting you."

Wu Xiaomei replied happily: "Thank you brother."

Wu Zheng chased after him, "Also, you don't have to rely on your two sisters-in-law for everything. You have to have your own opinions. You must also remember to update and select a group of skilled craftsmen to make continuous improvements in their clothing. This is the long-term way."

"Brother is so nagging, I remember it." Wu Xiaomei pulled the second girl and turned away.

Wu Zheng was stunned. It turned out that as soon as the matter was finished, no one would serve him when the chicken soup was drunk.

Don’t stand it with understanding and scooped up a bowl for Wu Zheng and handed it over.

Wu Zheng took it and said with a wry smile: "It's almost eighteen, it's time to find her a family in-laws."

Mo Zunian smiled and said, "Young talented people in Jiangnan are like crucian carpies crossing the river. It should not be difficult to choose a good husband for the county lord. However... it depends on the county lord's own meaning. To put it, the prince doesn't like to listen to it. I'm afraid that once the weaving and building the palace is settled, the county lord may not have the idea of ​​marrying in a short period of time."

Wu Zheng said thoughtfully: "That's right. But then again, it's not good for girls to get married too early."

Mo Obsessively glanced at Wu Zheng and said, "The prince will be crowned after the New Year. It's time to consider getting married."

Wu Zheng was stunned and frowned and said, "What? It's enough for my father to urge me. Mr. Mo also wants to get involved in my marriage?"

Mo Zhinian sighed slightly and quickly denied: "I must not dare. But the expectant princess is already at the age of marriage. The prince must be cautious, after all, people are afraid."

Wu Zheng was stunned and laughed and said, "It's okay. After a while, I will give orders that any woman in the various prefectures must be over 18 years old before she can get married."

Mo Yunian was shocked. Is this too domineering? Minglu is a girl who got married at the age of fourteen, and who had not got married at the age of eighteen, must be a official partner.

Although girls in Jiangnan got married relatively two or three years later, they usually get married before the age of seventeen.

But Wu Zheng made a decision and extended the age of marriage from the lower limit to the upper limit, which was obviously a life-threatening disaster.

However, Mo Zhinian did not object because he thought of Qing'er. According to the current situation, it was obvious that Wu Zheng could not change his mind in the short term, which means that Qing'er's marriage had to be dragged on.

If the government really postpone the age of a woman's marriage, it would make the Mo family feel decent.

Thinking of this, Mo Zhinian laughed and said, "The prince is wise."

So, it became wise.

At this moment, a roar suddenly came from outside, "Wu Zheng...Wu Zheng, where are you? I want to find you to make a good argument."

After listening carefully, Wu Zheng and Mo Zhinian looked at each other and smiled bitterly. As expected, Zhang Cangshui is here. I am afraid that the only one in this mansion who dares to scream like this is Zhang Cangshui.

It’s not that Zhang Guowei and others dare not call Wu Zheng’s name directly, but that these other people really can’t do anything like Zhang Huangyan.

After a while, Zhang Huangyan rushed in.

The guards who were chasing Zhang Huangyan had no choice but to apologize to Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng waved his hand and signaled to retreat. Everyone understood that no one could stop Zhang Cangshui.

As soon as Zhang Huangyan came in, he pointed at Wu Zheng and shouted: "Wu Zheng, you are too bullying."

Mo Zhinian stepped forward to persuade him, but Zhang Huangyan pushed him away with one hand.

Wu Zheng said helplessly: "Brother Xuanzhu, please say something, where did I bully you?"

Zhang Huangyan said angrily: "You went to Jiangnan College before, and the words you said were arranged in an opposite direction to you. Okay, I, Zhang Huangyan, is a pedantic person, but you, Wu Zheng, are a wise lord. Now, there are good people, record what you said at that time and spread it everywhere. Now, the six palaces, no, the eleven palaces, I am afraid everyone knows that I, Zhang Huangyan, want to kill Huang Tuozi, and even your prince wants to pardon Huang Tuozi, was rejected by me... Wu Zheng, I want to ask, do I deny you? Do I have the power to deny you? Do I really want to get rid of Huang Tuozi and get faster?"
