King Yue threw the letter into the charcoal basin and burned it, and quickly read the news sent by Buxian Building, but after searching for a long time, he found nothing: "The news was collected by Sicha in Buxian Building, why is it not passed on? come over?"
Mu Yunyao also felt that there was a problem, and her eyebrows could not help but tighten a bit: "I don't envy the news in the building, and it is inevitable that there will be a delay. If..."
Mu Yunyao didn't finish her sentence, but King Yue had already understood what she meant: it's normal for the news to lag for a while, but if it doesn't get through at all, there must be something wrong.
King Yue lowered his eyes: "When I was building the Buxian Building, I was thinking of spreading the scene as soon as possible. It was inevitable that there were omissions in many aspects. Now that the situation is almost under control, it is time to rectify it."
Mu Yunyao looked at the charcoal basin with paper ashes: "Since Your Highness knows the problem of the Jiangnan salt tax again, can you think of how to deal with it?"
"The news is not accurate now, it's just that the Jiangnan salt tax was manipulated, but the specific aspect of the action has yet to be verified. I will let people investigate the news as soon as possible." Mu Yunyao nodded, the salt tax There are too many places where people can do their work. The last salt tax case broke out in Yangzhou City. Someone manipulated the tax and collected a huge share of the tax and silver, so that the salt tax had a serious deficit on the books. When verifying the salt tax, we had to make
The illusion of the sinking of the salt ship is used to offset the deficit. This time, I only know that there is a problem with the salt tax, tax and silver, but I don't know where the problem lies. Is it the same as the last time that the salt tax is not collected according to the share, or is the official and private communication, maliciously lowering the tax and raising the salt price? Or are you playing tricks on the amount of private salt? Just investigate these things
To be clear, we can prescribe the right medicine.
Thinking that there might be a problem in Buxian Tower, King Yue's mind was heavy: "Yunyao, you have to be extra careful during this time, King Jin has been investigating Niyunfang and Buxian Tower, and seems to be suspicious of these two places. ."
"King Jin... Speaking of him, Yang Lian, the inspector of Liangjiang, returned to Beijing a few days ago and seems to have met the King of Jin."
"Well, on the bright side, it looks like they met in a street restaurant, but a prince of the dynasty, a third-rank official, no matter how you look at it, it's unusual."
Mu Yunyao raised her brows slightly, and made a bold guess: "Your Highness, you said that King Jin has so much money. Could it be that he moved the salt tax in Jiangnan?"
King Yue shook his head subconsciously: "It shouldn't be... The salt tax, tax and silver are very important, and the royal father keeps an eye on this. The elder brother King Ling suffered a big loss before, and the King of Jin should not think about it. Move your feet on this."
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case. I always think that King Jin should be short of silver taels, but he is born with no shortage of silver taels. So where did the silver taels come from? It's impossible to fall from the sky."
King Yue looked solemn: "I will have someone check it as soon as possible. If King Jin is really involved with the salt tax in the south of the Yangtze River, the matter will be serious." Every time the salt tax is involved, the government and the public will be shocked. When the prince of the dynasty, I don't know how big a storm will be.
Seeing the tiredness between his brows and eyes, Mu Yunyao couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "Don't be too anxious, Your Highness, just take it step by step."
King Yue heard Mu Yunyao's concern, and a warm smile appeared in his eyes: "Well."
After telling King Yue about the matter, Mu Yunyao felt much more relaxed.
Eunuch Cheng walked in and put the refreshments on the table with a smile on his face: "There are two new cooks in the house, how about Miss Mu trying their craftsmanship? If you like it, let's have some refreshments when we leave later. Write the recipe down and bring it to Miss."
"Many thanks to Eunuch Cheng." "Miss is too polite, by the way, the lotus pond in the backyard is almost dug, and a spring was dug just yesterday, but the water flow is not strong, thinking that people are digging deep. Some, when the weather is a little warmer, transplant some lotus flowers, and in summer, the scenery will be pleasant.
"
"How about I go and see later?"
"Naturally, it's the best. I don't know what kind of railings the lady likes. The lord was thinking about building some railings and pavilions around the lotus pond a few days ago. If the lady likes it, she will also tell the lord."
Even after knowing that Miss Mu and her own prince are related by blood, seeing how they stood side by side as a pair of beautiful people, Eunuch Cheng couldn't help but match them up: Oh, what a pair that is a perfect match, it's a pity that good luck makes people. .
Mu Yunyao glanced at King Yue with a half-smile but not a smile: "Isn't His Royal Highness King Yue punished with a salary and no money? Why is there any spare energy to build a small pavilion?"
King Yue's expression remained unchanged: "I just borrowed a loan."
Mu Yunyao couldn't help but feel amused: Feeling, this person used the money he lent out to build his own mansion, really...
King Yue stood up: "Let's go, I'll take you to see Quanyan."
After watching the lotus pond, Mu Yunyao said goodbye and left.
King Yue sent her out, turned to go back, and immediately ordered his men to arrange it. Buxianlou is the foundation for him to control Jiangnan, even if he has to reluctantly clean it again, he cannot leave hidden dangers.
The orders were conveyed one after another, and the undercurrents of the storms were faintly aroused.
In the Su Mansion, the atmosphere was lively.
Although it is said that Zhang Wan was given the marriage by the emperor personally, and is nominally Su Qingwu's flat wife, on a par with the Sixth Princess of Huaiyang, but in the end there is a difference in status. In addition, Zhang Wan's father was extremely distressed that she insisted on marrying Su Qingwu, and preparations such as dowry were extraordinarily hurried and dealt with.
At this moment, Zhang Wan sat in the new room, raised her hand and lifted the hijab on her head, looking at the dragon and phoenix candles burning on the table not far away, her eyes flashed with irony.
Madam Xi hurriedly stopped her: "Miss, this red hijab is waiting for the uncle to lift it. You are not in compliance with the rules."
"Don't worry, no one cares if the rules are irregular. Su Qingwu won't come to me tonight."
At this moment, there was a faint sound of chanting from the hall outside.
Zhang Wan stood up and walked to the side of the table. Seeing the half-baked things on the table, she directly instructed the hi mama, "Replace these things and cook the bowls and noodles. I have been hungry for a day, and I have no strength. "
"Miss… "
"If you want to go, why is there so much nonsense?" Zhang Wan looked impatient.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the door: "Miss, the second lady of the Su family is here."
Second lady Qi
Zhang Wan's eyes moved, and she said, "Quickly invite people in."
Second Madam Qi's followed by two maids who were carrying camellias: "Be careful when placing camellias on the ground, and don't knock or touch them."
Zhang Wan stepped forward and bowed her knees: "I have seen Second Aunt."
"Wan'er get up quickly, I take a look at this bride, she looks really beautiful, Qingwu is lucky." Qi's face was full of a refreshing smile, and her praise to Zhang Wan was very sincere.
Zhang Wan raised her hand and touched the scar on her face: "It's good not to scare the second aunt." "What are you talking about, you have an extraordinary body, even if there are some scars on your cheeks, you are not concealing your flaws, I watched Anywhere is fine. This pot of camellia was sent to me by Yunyao, and I was especially instructed to send it directly to your room. I have taken care of it very carefully. Take a look at this camellia. All of them are beautiful and beautiful, and people can't help but be overjoyed when they look at them."
