Chapter 215
Mu Yunyao was in the middle of her room pruning a bowl of dwarf pine. Listening to Jin Lan's words about the return of six taels, the scissors in her hand became unstable and cut off a short branch of the dwarf pine, but she didn't care. She just threw the scissors to the side and quickly said, "Let's have six taels."
"Come in."
He walked in with large strides and bent his knees to pay his respects to Mu Yunyao, "Greetings Miss. The matter has progressed smoothly."
Mu Yunyao stood up. Despite her calm state of mind, she couldn't help but blush from excitement, "You brought the item back?"
"Yes." He took off the backpack from his back, revealing an exquisite wooden box. The box was very large and looked quite heavy.
Mu Yunyao let Jin Lan and Jin Qiao withdraw before opening the box. Seeing that it was filled with silver notes, her smile became even more radiant. "This is great, this is really great." With so much money, she could even make the millstone push the ghost away!
Seeing Mu Yunyao so happy, the expression on her face softened. "Master really likes silver?"
Mu Yunyao picked up the stack of silver notes and carefully sized it up. "What I like isn't silver, but the thing that's backed by silver. In this world right now, without power, you have to have silver taels. Liu Yue did not understand what she meant, but she did not ask any further, "Master, all of us are in Yang Zhou city's Yi Baoxuan, and once Li Yuan has checked the taxes on Ziling city, he will rush to Yang Zhou city. If he is exposed, I'm afraid it will implicate master, so I will have to seal him myself.
"Mouth?"
Mu Yunyao's heart couldn't help but move, and she chuckled to herself, "Didn't you say that a person with the same name could be trusted? Furthermore, he has been extremely thoughtful during this period of time. Now that he has helped me earn so much silver, doesn't that mean that I am cruel and merciless as well? "
He shook his head, "I'm the one who started it, it has nothing to do with Master." "For Master's sake, he is willing to wipe out all the dangers." In the future, I will be pointing at him and help me earn more silver, and Li Yuan does not need to worry about that. When he reaches Yangzhou City, he will not even be able to take care of himself, so how would he have the time to investigate anything else? " Mu Yunyao sneered, "Look!"
After glancing at the silver notes in the box, he locked the lid and put it aside, "Six liang, we have been travelling through the night. You have worked hard, so you should go and rest first. If you need anything, I'll send someone to call for you."
"Yes."
After the two of them left, Mu Yunyao changed her clothes, got up, and went next door to see the King.
Inside the study room, King Yue saw the smile on Mu Yunyao's face and his expression couldn't help but soften. "Six taels of silver has returned?"
"Master Four is well-informed. I assume that as soon as the incident in Yangzhou City was successful, you knew about it, right?"
Yue Yang understood that she was testing the depth of his influence in Jiangnan and did not hide it, "Hmm, now that the salt merchants have realized it and are secretly celebrating, I wonder if they will still be able to smile when Li Yuan arrives?"
"Their names are still in Jiangnan, so please send some people to keep an eye on his safety. I'm afraid that when Li Yuan gets there, the salt merchants will tear him apart."
Yue Yang couldn't help but look over, seeing her smiling face, his lips raised: "Qi Ming has already helped you earn enough money, why is it that he hasn't gone to other places to hide?"
Mu Yunyao's smile became even wider. "This is only earning them 10 million silver taels. If I casually bring out one or two salt merchant, it would not just be this amount. Naturally, I have to think of a way to cheat them."
Yue Yang's heart skipped a beat, "Ten million taels?"
Mu Yunyao blinked her eyes and said with a smile, "Does Fourth Master feel that it's inconceivable?" "Indeed, the entire year's tax revenue is only fifty million silver taels, and you have already extracted ten million silver taels from the salt merchants. How could it not be shocking?" At this moment, King Fu did not know how to describe the feelings in his heart. His first reaction was actually that he should not have …
If he had signed the agreement, he would have been able to split some of it.
Steward Qin, who was waiting by the door, could not help but raise his eyebrows. He gritted his teeth and did not make himself cry out in surprise: [I was right back then. Lady Mu is just a golden doll.
It was rare to see this expression from King Yue, so Mu Yunyao couldn't help but deepen her smile. "If anyone has the courage to gather all of Jiangnan's salt merchants, then it can be said that they will be inexhaustible."
The Winged King squinted his eyes, a profound look flashing across his eyes: "You said that you want to trick them again, do you need my help?"
Mu Yunyao couldn't help raising her eyes to look over. "Didn't Fourth Master say before that you only wanted the batch of salt that we snatched away? "Why, do you want to get involved in other places now too?"
"I can see that you're working really hard. I just want to help you share the burden. Why be so cautious?"
"It would be best if Fourth Master helped me out. I can't let him suffer any loss. How about I pay you silver taels to buy that batch of salt?"
Save you from any more trouble? " Yue Yang had been thinking about how to make this batch of salt come into existence. Now, Mu Yunyao had taken the initiative to suggest to him that they should pay the silver at market prices, which was naturally the best idea, but he felt that there was something fishy about it. "It's not easy to get rid of this salt in my hands, and it's the same for you.
If you give me that much money, won't you be afraid of suffering in the future? "
"Just now, Master Four tried to help me out, and now that I've helped you convert the salt into cash, it's mutually beneficial. It doesn't matter if I suffer a little loss, because that batch of salt can be sold off sooner or later."
Yue Yang gave a faint smile as he looked over: "Forget it, since you treat me with such sincerity, I can't let you suffer any losses. I will think of a way myself slowly."
Mu Yunyao shook her head in pity. "I was still thinking of earning some silver from Fourth Master, but it seems that I can't do that now. I'll be honest then. I'm going to spread the news of the salt merchants swapping for salt."
"If that's the case, I'm afraid that the entire Jiangnan would sink into turmoil. If the imperial government finds out about it, we might be implicated as well."
"Normally, that would be the case. But what if the salt was found before the news got out?" You're back. Don't tell me you want me to send this salt back? "
