After Mu Yunyao woke up, Jin Qiao reported the news: "Miss, Miss Su will be concubine as soon as she is lucky, she is the only one in the palace, even the original concubine Zhen didn't have such an honor. , Now, it's all exploded outside."
Mu Yunyao smiled calmly: "It's not necessarily a blessing or a curse, let's see. What about six taels?"
Soon Liuliang walked in: "I have seen the master."
"Liu Liang, how's the matter for you to investigate?"
"Reporting to the master, there is not much property under King Jin's name, but in August, shortly after you returned to Kyoto, he sent two of his staff to Jiangnan and got in touch with the salt merchants in Jiangnan."
"Jiangnan salt merchants?" After the previous salt tax case, Mu Yunyao quietly dispatched some people to join the salt merchants with the help of the salt merchant industry that he secretly bought, and some of them have already paid off. "Yes, and the subordinates also investigated a piece of news that the second young lady of the Su family, Su Jin, and her husband, Yang Lian, have already left for the capital. After counting the days, they will arrive in another four or five days. They are here in name only. Participated in the wedding of Su Qingwu, the eldest young master of the Su family, but according to the news from the salt merchant
, It seems that there are some problems with the tax and silver. "
"Yang Lian... I remember that Yang Lian is the inspector of the Liangjiang River, and he is the third-rank official. He can be said to be a senior official of the frontier. Without the emperor's will, how could he easily leave the territory?"
"Yang Lian's performance as an official is quite good. At the end of the year, he got a top grade in the official assessment. The emperor intends to transfer him to Beijing, so he specially granted permission to return to Beijing."
Mu Yunyao stretched out her hand and rubbed her brows: "Because of my mother's identity and my mother's identity, many things were delayed a few years ago. Now I want to catch it, but I feel that I have nowhere to start."
"Master, take your time, don't worry."
Mu Yunyao pondered carefully: "Yang Lian is the inspector of the two rivers, and he is involved with salt merchants. It is inevitable that people will think of the salt tax. However, there has just been a case of salt tax, and those salt merchants should not be bold. Are you going to do something about the salt tax?"
"It's impossible to ask for wealth, wealth, and risk." Driven by huge interests, anything can be done.
"Let Qiming pay attention to it, and properly mention the eldest prince, King Ling, the power of the Li family is not in vain. Now Li Manian is the history of salt transportation in Jingling City, and it can play some role."
"Yes, miss." Mu Yunyao took a deep breath: "Su Li and Wang explained that the woman Wen who helped the old lady of the Su family to deliver a baby has a son who has stayed, and his whereabouts are still unknown, so let's pay attention. If you can find it, bring him to me at all costs, my father has been in contact with him, I want to know
, what did they say. "
"Yes, please don't worry, Miss, your subordinates will make arrangements immediately."
"Um."
Not long after Liu Liang retreated, Jin Lan walked in and reported, "Miss, King Yue has come down and is waiting in the front yard."
Thinking of King Yue, Mu Yunyao walked to the dressing table, opened the wooden box placed on the table, took off the lying rabbit hairpin on her head and put it in, and then took out the red envelope and gift from King Yue. After that, he wrote a deed to repay the gold by himself, and threw it directly into the charcoal basin and burned it.
Jin Lan opened her mouth: "Miss, those things..."
Mu Yunyao watched the two pieces of paper turn into fly ash, and her eyes against the firelight blinked slightly: "Let's go, go see His Royal Highness King Yue."
King Yue was waiting in the flower hall, when he heard footsteps, he got up and looked at Mu Yunyao: "Yunyao, I heard that Madam is ill, how is the situation now?"
"I've seen His Royal Highness King Yue, my mother just accidentally contracted the cold for a while, it's not serious, I'm worried about His Highness Lao." Mu Yunyao bowed her knees, with a touch of alienation between her brows.
Feeling her attitude, King Yue's heart suddenly tightened: "Yunyao, we didn't agree before..." Mu Yunyao motioned for Jinlan and the others to retreat, and went straight to the seat on the side to sit down: "Before I The identity of the mother was not made public, but at the lantern appreciation banquet yesterday, Su Li and the Wang family made such a scene.
A niece and uncle. "
King Yue felt a pain in his heart, and the aura around his body became cold: "Yunyao..." "Your Highness, a hero is short-tempered and has a long-term relationship. You are someone who wants to do great things. Don't waste too much time and energy on love." Mu Yun Yao looked at King Yue and saw his face turned pale because of his own words, as if a steel needle had been pierced in his heart, and the pain was piercing, but there was something wrong.
Love is bound to be difficult. My grandmother has worked hard for so many years to find her mother, and even for her old age, she can't be so selfish. King Yue restrained his expression, the warmth in his eyes receded a little bit, and returned to the coldness and coldness of the first meeting: "Yunyao, I am here today, in addition to visiting my wife, there is something else I want to tell you, go ahead. The caravan that Beijiang and Yunnu did business with returned. This trip took a month and a half.
The harvest is quite rich, and you can earn nearly 100,000 taels of silver. "
Mu Yunyao forcibly suppressed her heartache, and her eyes lit up when she heard this: "It is the first time to enter a foreign country to do business, and the most important thing is to open up business routes, so it doesn't matter how much profit you make, the next thing is the main event."
King Yue nodded: "Yes, this time the trade route has been expanded, and the salt can be sold one after another. That's the big deal."
Mu Yunyao held out a wooden box in her own hands: "Your Highness, there are six million taels of silver in it, enough for you to support for a while."
King Yue took the wooden box, opened it and saw the neat bills inside, his fingertips moved slightly: "You are really generous, aren't you afraid that I will default?"
Mu Yunyao suddenly laughed: "Although I can't be your husband and wife for the rest of my life, I'm still your junior. As an uncle who wants to do something big, you shouldn't be greedy for my money, right?"
King Yue smiled and shook his head: "You are the only one who dares to say that six million taels of silver is a little bit. Don't worry, I will definitely not default on the debt, and I will double it back to you."
"Then I would like to thank Your Highness. By the way, Su Jin and Yang Lian are coming to the capital, do you know the news?"
"Well, I already know that they will arrive in a few days. Why do you suddenly care about this?" "Is there no news from Buxianlou? The King of Jin and the salt merchant are involved, and this Yang Lian also The salt merchants are involved, and they are also involved in the Su family. I always feel that there is a lot to say. Xiuchunfang was destroyed by me, and the Su family was almost trampled. Logically speaking, the King of Jin should now be
The money is tight, but the red seal he gave me is 20,000 taels of silver, and his style of conduct is quite atmospheric on weekdays. News came from Qiming that King Jin still has the ability to let people stop Yibao. Xuan's development, no matter how you look at it, is unusual. King Yue's expression gradually became solemn: "You have always had a sharp temper. If you think there is a problem, nine times out of ten, there is something wrong. I will immediately have someone check." "
