Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her gaze, the corners of her mouth still smiling: "Then, I wish Fourth Master a pleasant journey here." Yue Yang sized up Mu Yunyao and wanted to say something, but his mind suddenly spoke, "In the next few days, if there is no Envy Hall, it should be open for business. Even if you are prepared, you must temporarily avoid the brilliance of Moon Pavilion."I'm not envious of you, but you've given me a lot of help."
I will take care of it. Uncle Qin is a loyal person, and as long as you keep the accounts, I will definitely not lie to you. That way, you can free up some time to pay more attention to your rest."
Mu Yunyao's heart slightly trembled, but her expression remained calm."Many thanks to Fourth Master for your guidance."
"In another two months, Cao Yunsheng's transfer order will be issued. This time, he will be transferred directly to the capital, and the next person to take over his position should be Li Munian."
Mu Yunyao raised her head, puzzled."Li Mu Nian? With his back against the Li Clan, how could he have taken a fancy to a small fourth-grade salt transport history in Ziling City? "
Too much talk!
Mu Yunyao bit the tip of her tongue the moment she said this. She thought to herself, Not good: I was too surprised just now, but I actually revealed Li Munian's identity in one go. What would King Yue think?
He never expected that Mu Yunyao would know of his identity after he only said his name. Didn't she never go to the capital before? Why did he feel that he knew so much about the powers within the imperial court? Although he was perplexed, he had no intention of inquiring about it.
"That's right, Li Musheng is the youngest son of Prime Minister Li Qingzhou. He was born with outstanding talent and would never have come to Ziling City, but who told it to be so bustling during this half a year?"
Seeing that the King did not pursue the matter, Mu Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief."Although there's still the Nebula Pavilion and not an enviable building, to the Li Family, it's just a small matter. I presume it's not enough for the Li Family to send people down here."
King Yue looked at Mu Yunyao in admiration."Indeed, it's not only because of this, but also because of the Rainbow Moon Pavilion and the Jiangnan Salt Tax."
"Salt tax?" Mu Yunyao's pupils constricted. Wasn't the reason why Jiangnan was so prosperous today because of the salt industry? "She is earning a lot of money now, but compared to the salt merchant, the amount of silver that they have extracted from her is more than just a single strand of hair." It just so happens that when Cao Yunshui is transferred away, the Lee family will take the opportunity to intervene in Jiangnan. Every time they check on the salt policy, Jiangnan will be in turmoil, and if the people who verify are a little bit more relaxed, then the entire Jiangnan will be in high spirits.
It's just that your hands are a little tight, so it's like a river of blood. In that case, what you're doing right now has nothing to do with Yan Zheng, so you should be safe."
Mu Yunyao involuntarily bit her lips, her eyes shining with a frightening light.
When King Yue saw her expression, she frowned: "What are you thinking?"
Mu Yunyao's lips curved into a brilliant smile as her eyes sparkled like the stars."Your highness, success comes from the basics, wealth comes from danger, are you brave enough?"
Yue Yang narrowed his eyes and immediately understood her plan."The use of salt is a grave crime in the way of the nine tribes!"
"Isn't there a prince here? With you here, I think my head will be firmly resting on my neck." Mu Yunyao smiled. She was even more radiant and enchanting than a flower that had bloomed on a spring day.
Hearing this, King Yue suddenly felt extremely comfortable in his heart, and the corners of his lips rose unnoticeably.
Seeing that he didn't make a sound, Mu Yunyao thought that King Yue was still pondering and couldn't help but urge him. Your highness, you also need silver, don't you? Although I have not been in Jiangnan for long, I know that Shangguan Sanpang is very generous. We do not use official salt, we only use private salt, and we are not greedy. As long as you have a batch, it will be enough for you to develop your forces in western Guangdong and cultivate them.
The golden bed is the place where you sleep every day! "
The corners of King Yue's lips moved slightly: "I need quite a bit of silver." No matter how much it is, if you want to speak, I can get it out for you! " Mu Yunyao's eyes lit up as she looked at King Yue with a fiery gaze. If she could successfully interfere with the matter of the Yan Zheng, then the silver would be enough to bury the entire Tomb City. She could take as much as she wanted as she wanted as long as King Fu was willing.
Help, let her give the gold to King Yue to play with.
Yue Yang's heart felt more at ease, but he put on a difficult expression.
"Your Highness, you must not lose this opportunity. If you don't intervene this time, I'm afraid you will have to wait for three years. The situation has changed a million times in an instant, how many years can you have left to waste?"
After finally enjoying enough of Mu Yunyao's gaze, King Yue raised his head, his deep eyes brimming with vigor, "Alright, I agree." If he didn't agree, wouldn't that mean that he was inferior to a girl in terms of courage? Moreover, he really needed a large amount of silver taels.
Mu Yunyao happily clapped."Since that's the case, then we'll have to make preparations in advance. We'll have to trouble Your Highness to help look up information regarding the salt policy."
"Alright, I'll let you know when I get the news, but I need to go back to Guangdong in a few months time to settle things." Alright, I'll tell you when I get the news, but I need to go back to Guangdong in a few months time.
Mu Yunyao was happy in her heart, but she wasn't so distant from the Duke of Yu's attitude."Alright, I'll remember it."
When they returned home, Mu Yunyao immediately called out to them, "Six taels, how many people do you have that you can use?"
"Master, there are 68 trustworthy people, so 370 can be used." The remaining personnel that could be deployed and utilized were too numerous to be counted.
Mu Yunyao was surprised, "I really didn't notice that you actually have this kind of talent. It just so happens that you might be able to help me out a lot this time."
"Master, if there's anything you need, feel free to tell me." He had worked hard in the dark so that he could have a good use for it. It would be great if he could help.
"This year, the imperial government will check the salt tax. Jiang Nan will definitely be disturbed by this, especially those salt merchants. They will help me pick out a few big salt merchants and then keep an eye on them. If there's any movement, report it immediately."
Six pairs of eyes narrowed, "Mistress, the salt water is too deep, if we were to easily step in, I'm afraid it would be difficult."
"Of course I know the depth of the salt water, but no matter how deep the water is, it won't drown the fish. We still have a few more months to prepare, so all we need to do is turn ourselves into a fish so that we can surf in the water!"
She already had quite a bit of silver in her possession, so accumulating a few hundred thousand taels of silver in a year was not a problem. However, this amount of silver was far from being enough to make her feel at ease. Now, Yan Zheng had given her a chance. As long as she could successfully intervene, she would be able to rest in peace.
However, when the amount of silver had reached a certain level, it could be used as power. The Jiang-Nan salt government was the biggest money bag in the country, as long as you could insert it into your hand, the silver would be able to directly jump into your palm. How could he not be tempted?
After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Master, leave this matter to me. I will follow Master's instructions and handle it appropriately." The smile on Mu Yunyao's face vanished, "Six liang, since I've decided to do this, I naturally know the risks involved. Although I'm also afraid of death, I haven't used the lives of others to take risks for me." She herself was not a kind person. Otherwise, she would not wholeheartedly want to take revenge on the Jin Emperor and the Resurrection House. However, she did not lose her conscience and used others to fill her life for her.
