As a king, Shang Junlin certainly knew the difference between the two.

"I originally thought that you arranged this play just to make the people more accepting of donations, but I didn't expect it to have a deeper meaning. You said earlier that I should refuse the time for a while, so you are waiting for this opportunity."

Shen Yu nodded: "I always feel that those people still have backing hands. They stole a batch of materials, and they will definitely not watch us raise enough materials to send them to Subei again."

Shang Junlin: "What I'm most worried about is that the people from Beimo have infiltrated the officials of Subei. According to the news from Yinlongwei, they haven't found any traces of people from Beimo yet."

Shen Yu: "If you want to say that Subei suffers the most from the disaster, it is undoubtedly Beimo. Without the threat of the Subei army, Subei is undoubtedly a treasure for Beimo. Your Majesty thinks that there are people from Beimo in it. It's not surprising, but I'm more inclined that this was done by some people in Dahuan, Your Majesty, don't forget that the King of Yue is still in the dark prison."

Shang Junlin: "Ayu suspects that he is the person behind King Yue?"

Shen Yu: "If the King of Yue wants that position, food, gold and silver cannot be lacked. Has Your Majesty sent someone to the King of Yue to secure the land?"

King Yue was detained in the capital for so long, and he didn't move at all on his fief. It was an abnormal thing.

"Your Majesty can just use the pretext of donation to explore the bottom of the king's fief."

After a cup of tea, the second half of the show continued, the chatter below slowly disappeared, and everyone's attention returned to listening to the play.

In the private room on the other side.

Noticing that Imperial Physician Gu was obviously absent, Imperial Physician Qian poured him a cup of tea: "What are you thinking?"

"I seem to have seen an acquaintance just now," Imperial Physician Gu took the teacup for a while, "I don't know if it's because I'm watching the errand."

"Is it your friend? Why don't you invite me over to talk."

Imperial Physician Gu shook his head: "No need, they don't want to be disturbed if they want to come."

Seeing this, Imperial Doctor Qian didn't say any more.

After the end, there was thunderous applause from the audience.

"This ending is really heartwarming. Corrupt officials should be beheaded like this!"

"Niang Niang has worked so hard to finally reunite with her lover, and a lover is finally married. I'm satisfied."

"The Oriole's efforts are finally not in vain, the wicked are punished, the good people are rewarded, the disaster is solved in time, and the enemy who wants to take the opportunity to attack is also defeated, which is very pleasing!"

There were men and women who came to the show, and the two sides had different concerns, but no matter which side, they were very satisfied with the ending.

Shen Yu walked out of the theater with Shang Junlin, and he could hear the discussions of the people around him along the way.

In addition to the story itself, the most talked about is the behavior of the oriole girl in the play.

Li Niang is the incarnation of all the beautiful women in the world. She has both the tenderness and delicacy of women, and the courage and courage that are not inferior to men.

"Since the oriole girl in the play succeeded, does it mean that this method is feasible?"

"I'm also thinking about this. You and I are both businessmen. I know that Dahuan's treatment of businessmen is much better than that of other imperial courts. In the play, the Orioles are in such a difficult situation, but they still succeeded in the end, and because of their actions, they changed The situation of the merchants at that time, if we can do our part for Subei, can we also change the world's view of the merchants?"

The concept of scholars, peasants, industry and commerce, passed down from generation to generation, cannot be easily changed. Even if Da Huan is not harsh to merchants, the status of merchants is not high due to various inherent concepts.

No matter how much money they have in their hands, what can they do? If they don’t spend a lot of gold and silver on the management, they can easily lose a lot of property if they do something. Even if they spend money to buy peace of mind, they are willing to buy it.

However, in most cases, the money is spent and the relationship is managed, and the other party can still temporarily go back on it.

The sponsorship and donation proposed by Shen Yu can prevent this from happening.

Shen Yu's troupe has been performing in the capital for several days, and local troupes have started arranging this play one after another.

There are also storytellers who saw business opportunities in the restaurant and teahouse to tell the story of the oriole girl.

After a few days of fermentation, the government received a petition from the people.

Not only one government office, but several places such as Dali Temple and the Ministry of Household have received petitions.

Early in the morning, the Minister of the Household directly took out the petition: "Report to Your Majesty, I have received some letters from the people."

Several other ministers also stood up: "Report to Your Majesty, and the minister has also received it."

"Bring it to me for a look."

Outside the palace, Yingxing Building.

Yan Zheng and more than a dozen businessmen, big and small, were sitting in the private room, headed by an elegant man in his thirties. They had just written a joint book and handed it to the government.

Sitting on the other side were a few ordinary people, all famous people in the neighborhood. They gathered here for the purpose of jointly writing a letter.

"Everyone, don't worry, I have some friendship with an adult in Hubu. He said that the Minister of Hubu will inform His Majesty of our request today." The elegant man said.

"We naturally believe what Young Master Jin said."

Others also spoke up.

Young Master Jin was very talkative among the merchants in the capital. He acted prudently, and everyone believed him. This time, everyone elected him to be responsible.

To appease the good man, Young Master Jin walked over to Yan Zheng and said in a low voice, "If you hadn't told me this, I wouldn't have dared to accept this. This cup is to you."

"Brother Jin is serious. When I first came to the capital, I got your help and couldn't thank you enough. This time I just told a bit of news that I know, it's nothing." Yan Zheng replied.

When Shen Yu deliberately rejected the plan, he asked Shang Junlin to hide the news again. Unlike officials, businessmen and ordinary people would not be able to know these court news if they had no access. Yan Zheng would know, except that the Ministry of Industry was unintentional. In addition to leaking something to him, there is another reason.

Yan Zheng had been waiting for the court's order, and then donated a sum of money. He didn't expect that in the end, this matter would be brought up by them, but it was fine, it would benefit the court and them even more.

The first time he watched "Return to Spring", Yan Zheng had some conjectures in his heart. Later, everyone was talking about it in the streets and alleys, and his thoughts were clearer. Later, he and Mr. Xu talked about cooperation. At that time, the other party seemed to mention it unintentionally, and he knew that this was an excellent opportunity for him to break into the businessmen of the capital.

Small groups of merchants in every place are xenophobic, especially in places like the capital. He has been here for a while, but he still hasn't been able to really integrate into it until now.

He knew who Mr. Xu was, and the information that could be revealed from Mr. Xu's mouth must have been told to him by the person behind Mr. Xu through Mr. Xu's mouth. With an accurate answer, Yan Zheng went to Mr. Jin in private. .

After the two talked in detail, he met the most important people in the capital's business circle for the first time. If this matter goes well, he can take advantage of this matter to slowly gain a firm footing.

The waiting time always seemed to be extraordinarily long, and the sun gradually rose. Finally, a young servant ran in with a happy face: "The lord replied, and His Majesty agreed!"

Everyone's faces showed joy.

"Great, after this time, our business should reduce a lot of constraints."

After sitting down to discuss the specific donation matters, the group went back to make arrangements, and Young Master Jin walked at the end with a relaxed smile on his face.

He is a natural businessman and has always been sensitive to the direction of the court, but this time, if Yan Zheng had not given him a reassurance, he would not have dared to take such a big risk.

Relieving Yan Zheng that day was just a matter of convenience, and he never expected to leave such a big favor to himself.

Shen Yu is taking care of the flowers in the Yuzhang Palace.

Except for one pot sent by Imperial Physician Gu, the rest were sent by Shang Junlin, some cherished varieties, and some simply because of their good growth.

Shen Yu is not like Shang Junlin, he spends a lot of free time every day, and he will take care of these flowers and plants in person every few days.

Watering, loosening the soil, pruning, etc.

Mu Xi stood aside with a clean veil: "Young Master, Manager Xu has spread the news that he has initially negotiated cooperation with Young Master Yan, and he also disclosed the news to Young Master Yan according to your instructions. For two days, the merchants and the common people in the capital have written to the government together."

"Today should be able to reach a conclusion, this play has been sung for so long, and it is time to end."

Only today did Mr. Li from the Ministry of Household know what the imperial court was planning to do. Except for a few ministers such as the Minister of the Household and the Prime Minister, he did not disclose the news to the outside world. Even what Shen Yu told Yan Zheng was only one of them. part.

In the next day, Mr. Li walked around the study anxiously. Finally, he made up his mind, picked up the pen and wrote something in a hurry, before waiting for the ink marks to dry, he put it in his arms and walked out.

The study door was opened, and Master Li suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"you……"

"Where does Mr. Li want to go?" The person who came here raised the corners of his mouth, "Or, who does Mr. Li want to tip off?"

"I-I don't know what you're talking about."

"You don't need to know, come and take it away."

Mr. Li was quietly taken away.

After the early morning, Shang Junlin left the Prime Minister and the Minister of the Household to discuss the specific matters about the donation for a while. Eunuch Meng walked in from the outside and whispered:

"Your Majesty, the hidden thread buried in the Ministry of Housing has been caught."

"Leave it to the people from Dali Temple to investigate, but I want to see who is playing Da Huan's idea."

When Shang Junlin returned to Yuzhang Palace, Shen Yu was still serving flowers and plants.

"Yinlongwei caught a spy buried in the Ministry of Household, and I handed him over to Dali Temple. I hope they can ask something." Shang Junlin came over.

"I don't think it's normal to be so calm now. Every time something happens in the court, someone will secretly spread rumors that are unfavorable to His Majesty. Has His Majesty checked who did it?" Shen Yu put down the small shovel in his hand.

"researched."

"Nothing," Shen Yu smiled, "whatever they want to do this time, it will only be worth the loss."

What those people will say without thinking about Shen Yu knows that it is nothing more than putting all the natural disasters on Shang Junlin. They may be waiting for the best time to take action, but they don't know that Shen Yu is also waiting for them to take action.

He will not only make these people unable to get what they want, but also return the dirty water they had previously poured on Shang Junlin.

"Ayu raised these flowers really well." Shang Junlin picked up the small shovel on the stone table and loosened the soil for the flowers that had not loosened.

"I will naturally take good care of the flowers sent by Your Majesty."
