Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Huanghou are the love of their lives. Ma Huanghou gave birth to five sons and two daughters for Zhu. One of the two princesses is Princess Ningguo, who married Mei Yin, the son of the founding hero Mei Sizu; The other is Princess Anqing, who married Lun Ouyang, a civil servant from Jinshi. Mainly? Nature is respectful and resourceful, and you bow to the horse? Among many promises, Zhu Yuanzhang dotes on him the most. Later, he performed well in the battle of Jingnan and was worthy of being Zhu's son-in-law. He didn't let Bai Zhu hurt him.
And LUN Ouyang is a long story. Lun Ouyang, a scholar, is knowledgeable and looks outstanding. He deserves a bright future. 138 1 year, Lun Ouyang stood out from many competitors and successfully married Princess Anqing, becoming the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Ma Xu, Ma Huanghou. At that time, the whole world was attracted, and everyone thought that Lun Ouyang, who was handsome, should have a bright future. After becoming an attached horse, Lun Ouyang also lived a cautious life, and the couple were still loving each other. In a calm mood, people are happy for Princess Anqing, and think that with this gentleman's company, the princess will have a happy ending.
But you never know, Lun Ouyang has been spoiled for too long, and his desire has expanded to a heart with a bright future. Began to pursue the extravagant lifestyle, he built his Xu-Ma mansion magnificently, and shipped treasures from all over the country to decorate it. He wants to build the Fu-ma House into a royal residence, but these all require high fees.
Then the question is, according to the rules formulated by Lao Zhu, No entry? In other words, Lun Ou can't be a civil servant in Daming Central Committee. He can only make a living on a promised salary. Where did he get the money to live a rich life? Lun Ouyang is quick-thinking and quick-thinking. Start a tea business. Tea was an extremely precious economic material in the early Ming Dynasty, with strategic attributes. Because the nomadic people in the western regions feed on the meat of cattle, sheep and other livestock, tea is urgently needed to assist digestion. For the nomadic people in the western regions, tea is a necessity of their life. The problem is that the western regions need tea but can't produce it because of climate problems, so they can only import it from the Ming Dynasty, which is rich in tea. Lao Zhu took this opportunity to export tea in exchange for horses from the western regions and enrich his national defense strength.
The Central Committee of the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to the whereabouts of tea, and set up a tea-horse trading market at the border of the western regions to facilitate officials to exchange tea for horses. Tea-horse deal? .
It is precisely because of the role of tea in strengthening national defense construction that Lao Zhu promulgated the tea horse law, stipulating that the government monopolizes the exclusive right to sell tea and does not allow people to sell it freely. Moreover, among officials at all levels, those who sell tea out of the country without permission have to pay a certain hell price, and officials stationed at the pass will also be executed that year because of oversight. It is conceivable that Zhu attaches importance to tea. . Nevertheless, under the temptation of high profits, some people are willing to do their best and take risks. Lun Ouyang is one of them. Driven by interests, he has long forgotten his father-in-law's ban. Began to smuggle tea quietly. Because of his position, officials at all levels know how to turn a blind eye. In the long run, a climate has formed. ? Several private tea merchants were deported, and what they found was ridiculous, although officials were afraid to ask. ? .
With experience, he became braver. When selling tea again, he began to make a high-profile move. He sent people to load dozens of cars with tea bought at low prices from all over the country, and the road was vast and unimpeded. I hope I can make a lot of money this time.
But something unexpected happens in the sky, and I regret hitting a ghost after walking at night for a long time. When I arrived in Lantian County, I encountered a hard stubble. He Qiao Company in Lantian County selflessly inspected the tax collectors and found illegal acts, so I want to detain them all. Xu's confidant quit, backed by someone, decisively beat up the tax inspector, and then casually walked away.
