Jiang Ling nodded, what Nangong Yumo said made sense.
There are always corrupt officials in every world.
It is impossible to arrest, kill, imprison or exile all the people in power.
In this case, I'm afraid no one would dare to become an official.
Because sometimes, when you sit in that position, temptation comes naturally.
Some people can resist temptation, while others make a mistake and regret it forever, and it is too late to withdraw later.
What can the person at the top do? The most he can do is to find the biggest cancer and make an example of it to scare the monkeys.
It temporarily intimidated officials who had not yet crossed the line.
It is better to stop before it is too late.
"That's fine, as long as there aren't any particularly greedy, evil officials who take the people's hard-earned money and then do nothing about it."
"Well, don't worry, I'm keeping a close eye on it and everything is under control." Nangong Yumo said confidently.
Although he likes to play and fool around, he always does it with a purpose.
The topic ended there.
The auction is drawing to a close.
The news that Nangong Xuan brought was that this auction actually raised over one million taels of silver for charity.
As expected, it was the wealthy capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. There was not a single poor person attending the charity auction.
"Tsk, big brother, your country has so many rich people, that's amazing. I'll open a few shops and do business in your Nanyu City in the future, okay?"
"No problem, just come over. If you need a few shops, just ask your third brother."
"Yes, Fourth Sister-in-law, I am in charge of the business affairs.
"If you need a few shops, I'll find them for you in advance." Nangong Jing responded immediately.
Wow, none of these royal brothers are idle, no wonder... Tsk, look at them.
Jiang Ling thought about it and realized that he really had this plan. Making money is a kind of enjoyment, and anyone who doesn't make money is a fool.
He plans to launch hot pot restaurants and roast duck nationwide, and then he can set up a hot pot base factory in the north.
So, he said, "Third brother, please help me find two shops, both of which are related to catering.
The shop needs to be larger, preferably with two floors, a lobby and private rooms downstairs, and private rooms upstairs.
Don't worry, I'll have time to prepare for this after the Northern City opens to the public."
Several people nodded to show that they understood.
Naturally, the construction and opening of the Northern City are more important.
"Okay, no problem."
So, they waited until everyone else left the auction before slowly leaving and having another seafood dinner.
Then, everyone went home...
Compared to Jiang Ling and the others' happiness, Lord Wang from the Ministry of Revenue is not that great.
The past two days have been quite difficult because of my daughter's embarrassing behavior and my own unrealistic thoughts.
Being ridiculed and isolated by others.
Being put in solitary confinement is equivalent to not being able to attend the morning court, and his rights will gradually be undermined.
Therefore, he had to do something to let His Majesty know that he really knew he was wrong.
Thinking about it, it was nothing more than his daughter's marriage.
So, I walked towards the backyard.
I thought that even if my daughter couldn't marry into a wealthy family, at least she should marry into a clean family.
No matter what, she is his beloved daughter.
After thinking it through, he decided to discuss it with his wife and resolve the matter quickly, otherwise his family would be implicated.
Who knew that as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he heard the crying of his wife and daughter, as well as his daughter's unwilling words.
"Mother, please help me think of a solution. I don't want to marry an ordinary man. I don't want to.
My daughter doesn't have to marry. She is willing to stay with you forever. Please don't marry me to those poor people.
I’m going to die!”
Mrs. Wang also looked worried at this time, and her tears could not stop flowing.
This was her daughter whom she had carried for ten months and loved for more than ten years. How could she not feel sad to see her end up like this?
What could she do? As a woman, she was powerless.
She can only be more careful when choosing a person, choose someone with a clean background and kind personality, and treat her daughter well.
Then she patted her hand gently and said, "Don't worry, Mom will help you find a good family. We don't want him to be rich and famous, as long as he treats you well."
After hearing what her mother said, Miss Wang felt so angry that her teeth were itching.
She has already said that she doesn't want to get married, so how can there be a good family?
Apart from the emperor, the princes are the sons of the ministers. Now she has been bullied to the point that she can't even marry them. What other good family can she marry into?
Why didn't her mother understand?
No wonder she was weak and bullied her whole life.
So, she angrily shook off Mrs. Wang's hand. If she continued like this, she would only marry a poor man and would never be able to turn her life around.
No, she had to do something. Even if she couldn't achieve the result she wanted, she couldn't just let herself be manipulated.
He shouted loudly, "Mother, why don't you understand? I said, I won't marry, I won't marry! What's the point of having a clean background and being a kind person?
I don't want to marry her and still suffer poverty.
If the mother insists on doing this, the daughter has no choice but to die.
That way, you won’t have to suffer because of me.”
The weak Mrs. Wang was frightened by such a loud roar.
Then she stood up hurriedly and tried to comfort her daughter, but the girl from the Wang family took a few steps back and refused to let her touch her.
She continued, "Mother, what I said is true. If you insist on marrying me to an ordinary person, I would rather die."
Seeing her daughter like this, Mrs. Wang suddenly didn't know how to deal with it. She had never encountered such a thing.
After pondering for a moment, he looked in the direction of the Wang family girl and said, "What can I do? Mother doesn't know either."
The Wang family girl glanced at Madam Wang and said, "Mother, I have a plan, but it requires money.
Give me one thousand taels, and I'll figure it out myself."
In fact, she was already a little excited. Haha, you won't let me have an easy life. Even if I die, you must take one or two people with me.
"What, one thousand taels? Why do you need so much silver?"
Then, Miss Wang sat down and told her mother her thoughts seriously.
"Mother, this matter is ultimately about Yue Qianli and Jiang Ling. I just like Yue Qianli, don't I?
I haven't broken any law, so it's impossible for me to receive such a severe punishment.
If they were not in Nanyu City, His Majesty would no longer pay attention to my affairs, and this matter might slowly be forgotten.
Besides, I think there is no crime in liking someone. I don’t accept such punishment. This is my lifelong event and I don’t accept it!
So, mother, please believe me and help me. Only mother can help me."
Any normal person would find this ridiculous, but Mrs. Wang is a weak mother. Does she have any bad intentions?
I just want my daughter to be happy.
With her daughter's personality, how could she be happy if she married an ordinary man?
