Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 174

Chapter 174

Wealth Comes from Danger

Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her gaze, the corners of her mouth still smiling: “Then, I wish Fourth Master a pleasant journey there . ” Yue w.a.n.g sized up Mu Yunyao and wanted to say something, but his mind suddenly spoke, “In the next few days, Bu Xian Luo should be open for business . Even if you prepared, you must temporarily avoid the sharpness of Cai Yue Pavilion, and should not be impulsive for a while . For Bu Xian Luo, let Steward Qin help to take care of it . Uncle Qin is a loyal person, and as long as he takes the accounts, he 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 Yunnian’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 Munian? With Li Family as his backing, how could he take a look at a small fourth-grade salt transportation history in Jingling City?”

Too much talk!

Mu Yunyao bit the tip of her tongue the moment she said this . She thought to herself that it was not good: She was too surprised just now, and she actually revealed Li Munian’s ident.i.ty in one go . What would Yue w.a.n.g think?

Yue w.a.n.g was a little surprised . He never expected that Mu Yunyao would know of the ident.i.ty after he only said the name . Didn’t she never go to the Capital before? Why did he feel that she 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 Munian is the youngest son of Prime Minister Li Qingzhou . He was born with outstanding talent and would never have come to Jingling City, but who told it to be so bustling during this half a year?”

Seeing that Yue w.a.n.g did not pursue the matter, Mu Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief . “Although there are Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo, to Li Family, it’s just a small matter . I presume it’s not enough for the Li Family to send people down here . ”

Yue w.a.n.g looked at Mu Yunyao in admiration . “Indeed, it’s not only because of that, but also because of Cai Yue Pavilion and 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 taels that they have extracted is much more .

“Well, the salt tax should be checked every three years . After a while, it will be time for salt tax verification . It just so happens that when Cao Yunnian transferred away, the Li 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 . If you tighten your hands a little bit, it will be a river of blood . In that case, what you’re doing right now has nothing to do with salt policy, so you should be safe . ”

Mu Yunyao involuntarily bit her lips, her eyes shining with a frightening light .

When Yue w.a.n.g saw her expression, he frowned: “What are you thinking?”

Mu Yunyao’s lips curved into a brilliant smile as her eyes sparkled like the stars . “w.a.n.g Ye, success comes from the basics, wealth comes from danger, are you brave enough?”

Yue w.a.n.g narrowed his eyes and immediately understood her plan . “Moving the salt . But it is a grave crime in the nine tribes!”

“Isn’t there w.a.n.g Ye 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, Yue w.a.n.g 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 Yue w.a.n.g was still pondering and couldn’t help but persuade him again . “w.a.n.g Ye, you also need silver too, don’t you? Although I have not been in Jiangnan for long, I also know that there were three officials and seven privates in the salt administration . 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 . If you are lucky in the future, you can use gold to build a golden bed, which is the place where you sleep every day!”

The corners of Yue w.a.n.g’s lips moved slightly: “I need quite a bit of silver taels . ”

“No matter how much you ask me, I can get it out for you!” Mu Yunyao’s eyes lit up as she looked at Yue w.a.n.g with a fiery gaze . If she could successfully interfere with the matter of salt policy, then the silver would be enough to bury the entire Jingling City, and she could take as much as she wanted . As long as Yue w.a.n.g is willing to help, let her give the silver to Yue w.a.n.g to play .

Yue w.a.n.g’s heart feels more and more comfortable, but he put on a complicated expression .

“w.a.n.g Ye, you must not lose this opportunity . If you don’t intervene this time, I’m afraid you will have to wait for three years . Now the situation is changing rapidly . How many years can we wasted?”

After finally enjoying enough of Mu Yunyao’s gaze, Yue w.a.n.g raised his head, his deep eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with vigor, “Alright, I agree . ” If he didn’t consent, wouldn’t 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 w.a.n.g Ye to help look up information regarding the salt policy . ”

“Alright . I’ll let you know when I get the news, but it will be a few months now . I need to go back to Western Guangdong to arrange things . You can reopen Ni Yun Fang safely in Jingling City . After that, Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Lou will be your foundation . Do you understand?”

Mu Yunyao was happy in her heart, and she didn’t feel distant from Yue w.a.n.g’s att.i.tude . “Alright, I’ll remember it . ”

When they returned home, Mu Yunyao immediately called out Liu Liang, “Liu Liang, how many people do you have that you can use?”

“Mistress, there are 68 trustworthy people, and 370 people are available . ” 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 . ”

“Mistress, if there’s anything you need, feel free to tell me . ” He had worked hard in secret so that he could be useful . It would be great if he could help .

“This year, the imperial government will check the salt tax . Jiangnan will definitely be disturbed by this, especially those salt merchants . You 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 . ”

Liu Liang’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Mistress, the salt policy is too deep . If we set foot in easily, I’m afraid it would be difficult . ”

“Of course, I know the depth of the salt policy, 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 face the wind and make waves in the water!”

She already had quite a bit of silver in her possession, so acc.u.mulating 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, the salt policy had given her a chance . As long as she could successfully intervene, she would be able to rest a.s.sured .

Silver taels can’t compared to power . However, when the amount of silver had reached a certain level, it could be used as power . Jiangnan salt policy is the biggest money bag in Dali Dynasty . As long as you can insert it into your hand, the silver taels will be able to jump into your palm directly . How could she not be tempted?

After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, “Mistress, leave this matter to me . I will follow Mistress’s instructions and handle it appropriately . ” Mu Yunyao said with a smile, “Liu 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 w.a.n.g and Su Family . However, she did not lose her conscience and used others to fill her life .
