Officials of the Prince's Mansion came and went, and many of them had expressions of excitement and excitement on their faces.
Qi Ming was announced: "I have seen His Royal Highness King Ling."
"I remember that Yibaoxuan also has a store in Jiangnan."
Qi Ming nodded: "Reporting to Your Highness, there is indeed a storefront, I don't know what His Highness ordered?"
"Yibaoxuan started in Jiangnan, what is its influence in Jiangnan?"
"When Yibaoxuan was set up, His Royal Highness Jin said that he could step on Niyunfang and climb up. Therefore, wherever there is Niyunfang, there must be Yibaoxuan. Although it is said that it cannot be compared with Niyunfang in terms of reputation, its influence is also not bad."
A bright light flashed in King Ling's eyes, King Jin was confused for a while, and even let him pick up a piece of treasure: "Okay, use Yi Baoxuan's staff to spread the news of the problem with the salt tax in Jiangnan, and strive to spread throughout the entire Jiangnan. "
Qi Ming looked a little surprised: "Is there a problem with the Jiangnan salt tax?"
King Ling nodded: "It's okay to tell you now, Yang Lian has already explained that the Jiangnan salt tax and silver deficit is serious, and the total number should be several million taels."
"A few million taels? This is not a small amount. After checking the salt tax some time ago, a group of salt dealers were found out. After a short period of time, there were problems again, and those people's courage was also It's too big, and the emperor will be furious when he hears this news."
"Last time, I was tricked by King Jin and suffered a big loss on the salt tax. This time, I want to get King Jin back without a trace. Hurry up and do it."
"Yes."
Not long after King Ling finished his instructions, Mu Yunyao received the news.
Liuliang stood on one side: "Master, do you need to let Qi Ming do something secretly?" "No, what did King Ling instruct, how can Qi Ming do it? Since we decided to let King Ling and King Jin fight in the arena, then we should not take it lightly. Intervene. King Ling and King Jin have been fighting for so many years, and no one has gotten much benefit from you and me, and many of them have been mediated by the emperor.
The reason is that we rashly intervene, it is easy to cause the emperor's vigilance, let them fight, such a good situation, King Ling will definitely not give up. "
"Yes."
In just a few days, rumors of another problem with the salt tax in the south of the Yangtze River spread. After the emperor heard it, he was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. No one expected that the emperor would hand over the errand of the thorough investigation to King Yue.
Mu Yunyao was stunned for a moment after hearing the news, and then frowned tightly.
Jin Lan was a little worried: "Miss, are you all right?"
"It's okay, it's just a bit of an accident. Where's Your Highness the Eldest Princess?"
"His Royal Highness, the eldest princess, is admiring the flowers in Liufang Garden with his wife. A few days ago, you transplanted a few new camellias. Her Royal Highness likes it very much. Every day, you have to go to Liufang Garden to enjoy it for a while. Miss, you can go there together. have a look?"
Mu Yunyao stood up, took two steps, and shook her head again: "No need, most of the custom-made clothes in Niyunfang have already been made, right?"
"Yes, the manpower is sufficient, and the speed of making clothes is also faster."
"Go to Niyunfang and have a look, and make these dresses as soon as possible. The weather is hot this year, and it won't take long for people to wear spring clothes."
"Yes, miss." Mu Yunyao came to Niyunfang, and with her help to finish, the speed of finishing the clothes became faster and faster. When I got busy, I forgot the worries in my heart, and when Jin Lan reminded me, it was already dark: "Miss, the eldest princess and the madam have sent people to ask, please come back as soon as possible.
Fangyuan. "
"okay, I get it."
Mu Yunyao moved her shoulders and wrists, washed her hands and walked downstairs.
At the entrance of Niyunfang, a carriage was parked quietly. When Mu Yunyao came down, the curtain of the carriage was slightly opened, revealing Yue Wang's handsome face with a smile: "Yunyao."
"His Royal Highness King Yue..."
"I'll take you back."
Mu Yunyao was stunned, looked left and right, and nodded in response: "Then it's work."
After getting on the carriage, Mu Yunyao looked at Yue Wang before he spoke.
King Yue was the first to say, "You've already heard that the royal father assigned me to Jiangnan to investigate the salt tax case, and I will leave for Jiangnan in the morning."
"So soon?" "The matter is urgent, there have been rumors spread over Jiangnan, and the impact is extremely bad, so we can only leave as soon as possible." Seeing the solemn look between Mu Yunyao's eyebrows, King Yue couldn't help but chuckle, " Don't worry so much, I spent so much time in Jiangnan, but it's not for nothing, I will soon
I will check things out and rush back to Kyoto. "
"I naturally don't worry about His Highness's ability, but... The salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are deeply entrenched. Last time, the weather, location, and people were all taken up, and we only succeeded in the calculation. This time, the rumors spread in advance, and the salt merchants are prepared. I'm afraid Things are going to turn around.”
"With you behind me, I can't bear to do anything." King Yue looked at Mu Yunyao, his eyes wishing to turn into a river of soft water.
Mu Yunyao's ears were slightly red, and she was anxious and angry: "I'm not joking, Your Highness must be extra careful in this line."
"Well, I know. Does Yao'er have a way to earn silver taels this time? The salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are not pitiful."
Hearing King Yue's words, Mu Yunyao couldn't help laughing: "His Royal Highness really regards me as a golden rake for money? Jiangnan salt merchants are not stupid, and they can let us calculate every time, but, if you want to get from There is a way to extract money from the salt merchants."
"Drawing from the bottom of the pot?"
"Extracting money from them is never as exciting and thorough as directly raiding your home. His Highness has always been upright and ruthless. This time the emperor sent you to Jiangnan, it may not be for this reason."
King Yue squinted his eyes slightly: "That's true, I like this errand, Yao'er can wait for the good news in Kyoto." Mu Yunyao nodded, and suddenly laughed: "I heard the scholar talk about There was a joke that the home of a corrupt official was seized, and 500,000 taels of silver were copied. As a result, the official who went to raid the house took 30% of the money, the little boss who was doing business below took 20%, and the official who raided the house secretly hid one
After that, the other bits and pieces were all exploited, and in the end, only 90,000 taels of silver were sent to the emperor... Then, the emperor saw that the corruption was not too much, and the charges of the officials were reduced a lot..."
"Yao'er rest assured, if you want to be greedy, you can only be greedy yourself, and will never let others take advantage."
"Your Highness is really righteous."
"Following Yao'er for a long time, it is inevitable that I will be closer to Zhu Zhechi." Mu Yunyao raised her head and glared at him: "I can't help Your Highness with the rest, but I can borrow some of His Highness's hands. My wife wrote to me, saying that Niyunfang has collected a group of good accountants. No matter how complicated the accounts are, they will be able to calculate them quickly.
Calculate clearly, if His Highness can use it, go directly to Niyunfang to ask for someone. "Okay, it's still Yaoer's thoughtful thinking. "
