Qin Guanshi, who had been waiting outside, walked in with the dim sum that had already cooled down. Seeing Yue Wang's expression a little dazed, he couldn't help but guess what had just happened: "My lord, why did Miss Mu go out? I also prepared snacks here. Woolen cloth!"
King Yue came back to his senses, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but bring a smile, although it was not obvious, but steward Qin who knew him could see it at a glance.
"Uncle Qin went to someone to inform Jin Lan and ask her to come over with a thin cloak. It's still a bit cold to walk in the garden now."
Steward Qin quickly agreed: "Yes, the old slave will go now."
In the next few days, Mu Yunyao deliberately avoided King Yue and taught Mingyin directly in Su's house.
Mingyin was extremely attentive in learning, and in just a few dozen days, he was quite effective.
"Mingyin, I have taught you everything that should be taught to you, and the rest can only be experienced by you."
Mingyin nodded hurriedly and saluted Mu Yunyao respectfully: "Thank you, Miss Mu." If it wasn't for Mu Yunyao, she didn't know when she would have waited for this opportunity.
"Don't be too polite, remember what you said in the past, after you really see Li Yuanyi, you must be restrained, and don't show anything. In addition, the powder I gave you, don't use it indiscriminately, you must wait until I explain it. Let it go, remember?"
"Yes, please rest assured, girl, I will definitely not lose the big because of the small." After she learned the assassination skills, she tried to sneak into the Governor's Mansion to assassinate Li Yuanyi countless times, but in the end she held back, she would not succeed for a while Quick, but to make all those who had black hearts pay the price.
Seeing her expression, Mu Yunyao was relieved: "Well, go back and rest."
When Mingyin withdrew, Liu Liang came back with news of the same name: "Master, the news has been confirmed that the salt merchants really want to collude with the government to make up for the missing salt tax in the name of buying salt."
Mu Yunyao's fingertips trembled, and a full smile flashed in her eyes: "It's hard work, and when he comes back, he will definitely reward him well."
"That's what he should do."
Mu Yunyao thought about it for a while, then picked up the letter and went to the Jinxiu Garden next door.
Since the last gaffe, Mu Yunyao has not seen King Yue for more than ten days. At this time, when she came to the outside of the study, when she heard him call in, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart: "I have seen Fourth Master."
King Yue looked at Mu Yunyao, his eyes were clear and indifferent, and he couldn't see the slightest abnormality: "You don't go to the flower house these days, the flowers in it are all blooming, and they are extraordinarily beautiful now."
"The weather has been getting warmer for a day now, and the flowers are blooming outside, not to mention the ones in the conservatory. The flowers are still blooming freely outside."
"Looking at your eyebrows, there seems to be a happy look, but the news from Yangzhou City?"
"A letter from the same name, saying that it can be confirmed, we guessed right before, the salt merchant really wants to use the method of buying salt to fill the gap!"
King Yue became serious: "These people are really bold." "Although the court does not allow the sale of illicit salt, in fact, in Jiangnan, only 30% of the people who really follow the official salt route, and most of the remaining 70% are these salt merchants. Selling privately, such a thing, even the government has repeatedly banned it, the emperor must know it in his heart, but he has no means to investigate and deal with it.
That's it. "That's fine. If they follow the law, we really don't have a chance to intervene." King Yue thought carefully and quickly filtered the plan in his mind. After that, he overturned and tried to find loopholes. After a while, he said, "I will let people keep an eye on them immediately, as long as he
If they dare to play tricks in the transportation, I will be able to grab the real salt. Mu Yunyao's heart moved, and King Yue spoke with great confidence. From this, it can be seen that his foundation in Jiangnan must not be shallow. I really don't know how long he has been secretly setting up: "Fourth Master, I heard Qi Ming say that this time buying salt, The silver taels used were about six million taels, and this was only the price of bulk purchases.
If you sell this batch of salt, the amount of money involved will probably be tens of millions. The salt merchants dare to do this, naturally they have their own reasons. Your people must be more careful and don't make mistakes. "
"Don't worry, I will go over and watch in person, nothing will go wrong."
Mu Yunyao's eyes moved, and the corner of her lips was full of smiles: "The fourth master has thought about how to divide the silver tael?"
King Yue glanced at her with a half-smiling smile: "Qi Ming went to inquire about the news, it is a credit, you teach Mingyin, if you are successful in approaching Li Yuanyi, and helping with the inspection of the salt tax, it is also a credit, But the most important contribution is my side, which can be divided into 10% of you."
"Fourth Master is too stingy, but you are right, my efforts are indeed small, so after this batch of salt is sold, I won't take any silver taels." Mu Yunyao said with a smile.
King Yue's heart moved slightly, this is not like her usual style: "Even if it is 10%, there are millions of taels of silver, don't you feel bad?"
"I don't want the silver taels sold by the salt, but if I have a way to get the silver elsewhere, it will all be mine, how?"
King Yue thought quickly, except that this batch of salt can be used as silver, where else can the oil and water be fried? But Mu Yunyao didn't give him time to think about it: "Fourth Master, earning money depends on your ability, your people have the ability to grab the salt, then the money you sell will naturally belong to you, if I have a way to get it from other places When it comes to silver taels, the silver will naturally belong to me. This will be fair and just. Do you still pay
Would you care about some petty profits with me? "
King Yue couldn't help but smile: "Okay, I promise you."
Mu Yunyao was overjoyed, she quickly walked to the table, took a pen and paper and signed a contract: "There is no evidence for words, let's take words as evidence!"
After signing the deed, Mu Yunyao carefully put it away, and then she felt at peace in her heart: "I will not disturb the fourth master, I will retire." King Yue looked at her back, and there was a trace of a smile on his lips: Last time In the study, she left in a hurry, looking calm on the face as usual, but in fact her heart was already messed up. Otherwise, with her character, she would definitely leave after saluting as usual, rather than forgetting the salute as before, it seems
She was not completely unmoved.
Thinking of this conclusion, King Yue felt satisfied, as if he had done a very important thing.
Back home, Mu Yunyao immediately called Liuliang over: "Liuliang, you go to inform Qiming, and say that Jingling City is also ready, and the shop is located opposite Niyunfang, let him prepare as soon as possible. Open a Yibaoxuan."
"Yes, Master." Mu Yunyao leaned on the soft couch, and the smile on her lips deepened. In order not to make mistakes, the salt merchants will definitely check the salt when they buy salt in the salt quarry. There's bound to be a chance that this
Grab the salt. She didn't have so many people available, so she didn't think about the idea of making this batch of salt at first, but found a new way to start with the salt merchants themselves, but don't worry, everything has to wait for Li Yuan to come.
