Chapter 130 This is a serious crime set by our ancestors!
"Well, go check what Lin Yi has been doing recently."
"It's best to be before the New Year..."
Xiao Changyun felt a little uneasy. He couldn't even eat in peace because he didn't know what his biggest "enemy" in business was.
This is a smart guy who has fooled himself twice in a row by deceiving the world!
"Prime Minister Xiao, I...the Chamber of Commerce is still counting the money it earned this month."
"It has already been calculated, two hundred and thirty thousand taels."
Chen Chong has followed Xiao Changyun for so long, so he naturally knows what Xiao Changyun cares about more.
When Xiao Changyun heard the number of 430,000 taels, he was immediately overjoyed.
Can Lin Yi make so much money from those things?
On weekdays, the four major markets in the capital city collected more than 100,000 taels of silver every month.
I didn’t expect that with Lin Yi’s “help”, I could generate income miraculously!
"Well, go ahead. I'll send someone myself, and maybe... I'll go check it out after the New Year."
Xiao Changyun smiled and waved his hand to let Chen Chong leave.
As soon as Chen Chong left Xiao Changyun's house, he rode his bicycle out of the west gate and arrived at Nanhe in the north.
We took a boat all the way to Lianjingdu.
Some clues can now be seen on the south bank of Lianjingdu.
Although the houses have not been fully built, they have already reached a certain scale.
Two days before the New Year, Lin Yi was still here, either directing things or inspecting.
"Boss Lin, it's me!"
After Chen Chong got off the boat, he asked the boatman to wait there.
"Your presence here should mean that Xiao Changyun will make some moves, right?"
Lin Yi frowned slightly and looked at Chen Chong.
Now Lian Jingdu’s house has not been fully built yet. If Xiao Changyun finds it, it will not be a good thing.
"Almost. It's almost the New Year, so he has some free time."
Chen Chong nodded slightly, "You want to ask me what you are doing."
"Then how did you answer?"
Although Lin Yi knew that Chen Chong was helping him out of personal gain, he would never sell himself out for personal gain.
"I reported his income to him, and he was overjoyed."
Chen Chong replied, "He will probably send someone to look for you after the Chinese New Year, so be careful."
"How are your accounts going?"
Lin Yi continued to ask.
The purpose of setting up the Chamber of Commerce and calculating the numbers clearly is not just to make Xiao Changyun happy.
Ever since he came into contact with Chen Chong, Lin Yi knew that the biggest corrupt official in Dayong was Xiao Changyun.
If Xiao Changyun was in control of the Chamber of Commerce, then he could indeed enjoy it.
But if the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Chen Chong, wants to trick him, then these accounts will become ironclad evidence of Xiao Changyun's corruption!
"The accounts are still being calculated, but it will be done soon."
"I have sent someone to tally up all the previous accounts that can be tallied up."
Chen Chong nodded slightly and said, "If we can report his corruption to His Majesty..."
"Don't think about these things in advance. You are still Xiao Changyun's subordinate."
Lin Yi waved his hand and said, "Try to buy me some more time."
After saying that, Chen Chong nodded slightly, got on the boat and went all the way back, then rode his bicycle back from the west gate of the capital.
It looked like he just went to the post station in the western suburbs of the capital to have some fun.
It’s Chinese New Year time.
It was New Year's Eve, and Huangfu Qingling had been thinking about Lin Yi for some reason during this period.
It seemed that he was not in the capital, and he felt a little more lonely.
So that day he asked Bao Bu Tong to bring Lin Yi to the palace.
It was a rare snowstorm in the capital, and she was waiting for Lin Yi to arrive in the palace.
At this time, Lin Yi and Bao Bu Tong were riding bicycles towards the capital.
Anyway, it was Chinese New Year and all the villagers had to go home to celebrate the New Year. After Lin Yi gave them some food and drinks, he also planned to rest.
He was supposed to celebrate the New Year at the post station, but Bao Bu Tong came and called him away, so he had to celebrate the New Year at the palace.
"Your Majesty, Lin Yi is here."
Bao Bu Tong saw Huangfu Qingling waiting outside the study.
"Lin Yi, you've lost weight."
Huangfu Qingling stared at Lin Yi's face and only said this one sentence after a long time.
"The Imperial Kitchen will arrange it for you. I want to eat hot pot today."
As she spoke, it seemed that she was making arrangements for Lin Yi, but in fact she wanted to spend the New Year's holiday with Lin Yi.
With Huangfu Qingling's order, Lin Yi and Bao Bu Tong found a lot of good ingredients in the imperial kitchen, and asked Xu Chuan to help deliver some soup base.
Then they started preparing hot pot in the pavilion outside the study.
On snowy days, the whole yard is covered in silver, which is particularly enchanting.
"Lin Yi, how's your ferry going?"
While eating hot pot, Huangfu Qingling asked about Lin Yi's project progress.
"The foundation is almost there. All we need to do next is to transfer some people from the post station."
Lin Yi stuffed a mouthful of vegetables and slowly replied, "I'm thinking of expanding the northern part of Beijing. In the future, the scope of Beijing should be a super city that includes Nanhe."
Huangfu Qingling, who was drawing the cake, was very excited.
"But now you've handed over all of Beijing's commerce to Xiao Changyun. Isn't that a problem?"
Huangfu Qingling slowly spoke, "No matter what it is, if you had just told me, it wouldn't have come to this. Xiao Changyun is acting like a rogue, can't you just rely on me?"
"I wonder if Your Majesty knows Chen Chong?"
Lin Yi asked slowly, "He was originally Xiao Changyun's boss, in charge of the four major markets in Beijing, but now he is in my hands."
"Of course I heard about it, otherwise how could I let you leave the capital?"
Huangfu Qingling nodded slightly. If it weren't for this, she would have killed Xiao Changyun immediately!
"In two months, let Xiao Changyun relax for a while, and let Chen Chong prepare all the evidence."
Lin Yi replied, "He's corrupt, that's the biggest handle."
Huangfu Qingling was shocked when she heard this. It turned out that Lin Yi was helping her prepare such a big plan?
Now the court is indeed restricted by Xiao Changyun. Many things can only be arranged through Xiao Changyun, which is really difficult.
Moreover, the elites under her command were constantly suppressed, and she didn't know what to do!
After the meal, Lin Yi left the palace and celebrated the New Year with Xu Chuan and others at the post station.
A few days after the New Year, things were quiet for a while. Life returned to normal, and Lin Yi returned to Lianjingdu to resume work.
However, they never expected that before work had even started for a few days, someone they didn't want to see came to the construction site.
"Lin Yi, I've been looking for you for so long, and now you're here."
Xiao Changyun walked over slowly with Chen Chong and the others.
Although many houses around Lianjingdu are still under construction, the market has already taken shape, and some people are shopping around.
"Prime Minister Xiao, I've given you the entire capital, aren't you satisfied?"
Lin Yi frowned slightly and asked.
"I'm not here to arrest anyone, I'm just here to take a look."
"Lin Yi, what are you doing?"
Although Xiao Changyun expressed curiosity, he already knew that Lin Yi was reforming Lian Jingdu, which was a violation of the rules set by Dayong's ancestors!
