In the afternoon, there were not many things in Niyunfang, Su Qing let Mu Yunyao go home to rest early.
Not long after Mu Yunyao returned home, she heard Jin Lan come to report: "Miss, steward Qin invites you to come to Jinxiu Garden."
Xuehu jumped onto Mu Yunyao's lap, rubbed her fingers lightly with her head, and made a humming sound, looking extremely aggrieved.
Mu Yunyao lowered her head and stroked Xuehu's head. A soft, warm touch came from her fingertips. She pondered for a moment before nodding, "I see."
The silver taels in hand are enough now, and it is not impossible to separate from Yue Wang, but Niyunfang and Buxianlou are intertwined, and it is too involved to break it easily. Let’s take a look again. If Yue Wang continues to explore, So even if it is painful, you must make a clear decision with him as soon as possible.
King Yue in Jinxiu Garden was a little nervous. It had been four days since the last time he broke up unhappily. He thought about it carefully. At that time, he was really too impulsive. After so long contact, he already knew that Mu Yunyao was too cautious. That pressing question at that time obviously pushed her further.
After a while, Steward Qin walked into the study: "My lord, Miss Mu is here."
King Yue was refreshed, and he quickly sat upright: "Miss Mu, please come in."
Mu Yunyao walked into the study with a gentle smile on her face, but she could not detect the slightest abnormality: "I have seen Fourth Master."
I thought that Mu Yunyao would not come to see him this time, and even if she did, she would definitely be annoyed by what happened before, but she didn't expect that not only did she come, but there was no abnormality on her face.
King Yue's mind sank a little bit, and she worried about it for so long, but she didn't take her previous unhappiness to heart at all
"Don't be too polite, I'm inviting you over this time because I have something to discuss with you." "Fourth Master has any orders, even if you say it, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best." Mu Yunyao He raised his head and looked directly at King Yue, reciting in his heart that this life is the source, his mind actually calmed down a little bit, and the fear and suspicion of King Yue left over from his previous life dissipated little by little.
After going on, I was finally able to face him with a normal heart.
It seems that it is beneficial to have a conflict, at least you don't have to feel cold in your heart every time you see him.
King Yue was keenly aware that Mu Yunyao's mood was a bit wrong, but he could not tell the difference after careful inspection: "You asked me before, do you have any thoughts on the batch of salt that Li Yuanyi is delivering? Want to hear what your plans are?"
Afraid that his words would remind Mu Yunyao of the unpleasantness before, Yue Wang carefully looked at Mu Yunyao's expression, and his tone unconsciously calmed down.
Mu Yunyao didn't have the slightest abnormal color, and the smile on her face was still the same: "I originally wanted to talk to the fourth master again, but it happened that you asked, so would it be feasible for you to listen?"
King Yue couldn't express a sigh of relief in his heart, but he was still disappointed, and nodded slightly when he heard the words: "Let's hear it." "The fourth master also knows that the price of salt is still high now, because the salt is special and operated by the government. The established system is extremely imperfect, so that private salt is rampant. Now, due to the investigation of the salt administration, coupled with the rumors that the previous batch of official salt sank on the Xijiang River, the price of salt has increased a bit.
, the people are not easy to live, and the high price of salt will definitely make them a little more burdened. "
"indeed so."
"Then the lord is willing to seek some benefits for the people?"
King Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking quickly in his heart: "Do you want me to send someone to cut off that batch of salt again?" Mu Yunyao smiled and nodded: "From those salt merchants, we make enough money We paid silver taels, but this grievance has also settled. Right now, the salt merchants and Li Yuan are busy protecting themselves, so naturally they can’t deal with us, but once they react, they will definitely try their best to take revenge.
It is the best policy to never do one without doing the other, and to eliminate future troubles forever. "
"You want to get rid of Li Yuanyi and those salt merchants?" Mu Yunyao turned her head slightly and looked at King Yue: "Don't you want to get involved in the salt administration in Jiangnan? If those salt merchants don't fall, they won't. There are new salt merchants rising. Especially the Wu family, Wei family and Cao family, they have been controlling and balancing Jiangnan for a long time, and their temperament has long lacked the previous ones.
Being cautious and restrained, and changing a group of new people to go up, can also make Jiangnan's salt politics quiet for a while. "
King Yue pondered for a moment, and his eyes gradually deepened: "Okay." Although this incident is dangerous, there are infinite opportunities. Once successful, his manpower will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Mu Yunyao laughed: "The fourth master has to hurry up to prepare, after a while, the salt boat will cross the Xijiang River, pass through Jingling City, and then go north from Linjiang City, all three places can be operated. There are pros and cons in the timing and location selection, it depends on how the fourth master plans."
"Do you have any suggestion?" King Yue asked Mu Yunyao subconsciously. "I don't know how specific it is, but when I came to Jingling City with my mother, I heard the old boatman say something, saying that Linjiang City is very prone to fog in summer, and it is very common in the local area. Strange, the fourth master may wish to ask the old boatmen carefully. They sail on the water all the year round.
He has some ability to predict the weather. If he can catch up with a foggy day, it is God's help. "
King Yue gave Mu Yunyao a deep look, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to investigate immediately."
After talking about the business, the study suddenly became quiet. Mu Yunyao waited for a while, and did not hear any other orders from King Yue, so she got up and said goodbye: "I won't bother Fourth Master any more..." "Wait," King Yue Standing up, he took out an exquisite wooden box from the side. The box was made of sandalwood and inlaid with gems. It was very valuable at first sight, "Thanks to your advice, I made such a smooth profit. For so many silver taels, this is a thank you gift I prepared, hope
Hope you can take it. "
Mu Yunyao's fingertips trembled slightly, she raised her hand and took the box over. After opening it and taking a look, her heart skipped a beat: The box contains all jewelry, and they are extremely precious and gorgeous. The jewelry I bought from Yibaoxuan today , and the one in the box is simply unattractive.
"Fourth Master, these jewelry are too precious..."
"Take it, in fact, these things have been with me for a long time, and they are reluctant to throw away, leaving them empty and dusty, just for you..." These jewelry were left by his mother, and they have been stored here for a long time. , Now I finally found the person I want to send it, which is a blessing.
Mu Yunyao thought for a while, then saluted King Yue: "If that's the case, then I will thank the Fourth Master for the reward. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"it is good."
When Mu Yunyao left, Steward Qin hurriedly walked into the study: "My lord, did Miss Mu take the jewelry?"
King Yue nodded, but there was a slight wrinkle between his brows.
"Then why do you look unhappy?"
"It's nothing." Mu Yunyao didn't show anything unusual just now, and even took the gift he gave away when he finally left, but he felt keenly that something had changed, and he couldn't see it now. Whether this change was good or bad, only made him worry.
"It doesn't take a few steps, it can't be thousands of miles, the long road is long, and it's long, water drops and rocks..." King Yue couldn't help but chuckle softly: "Uncle Qin, I understand."
