The other party's threat was obvious, but this further showed that what Xie Shu said just now reached the other party's heart.

Therefore, Xie Shu was still calm and composed. He did not tell the truth, but instead said: "Eunuch Liu came to Jiangnan this time to take care of the southern tour for the Holy One, and won His Majesty's favor. This is a good thing, but Eunuch Liu thought about it." Without Your Majesty, why do you want to make a southern tour?"

Eunuch Liu didn't take it seriously when he heard the words. He thought Xie Shu was going to say something, but it turned out to be this.

The reason for His Majesty's southern tour, whether it is on the surface or in the dark, how come the people in their palace don't know?

Xie Shu said lightly: "I think not only I know, but everyone in the world knows that one of the reasons for your Majesty's southern tour is to serve the country and the people. His Majesty's meticulous governance in the past few decades has made the world peaceful and the people of the world so peaceful. The great situation of living in peace, Your Majesty went south to the south of the Yangtze River to visit the capital of Jinling and the Six Dynasties, to show the people in all directions the unprecedented grandeur of the country, and the unprecedented co-lord of the world."

These remarks are the most high-sounding, but Eunuch Liu cannot deny it. At the same time, there are actually many reminiscences of the Daqing emperor in ordinary times. The former emperor can indeed be called wise, but now he is in his later years A little confused.

Xie Shu's heart is bright. He has read countless history books, and those histories all have a striking similarity.

This is probably a common problem of many emperors when they are old. No matter what kind of person they were when they were young, when they are old and weak, even if they deeply understand the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace, they will inevitably start to advocate luxury.

And because the emperors hold the supreme power, they can't listen to the words of advice, so they become more self-willed, and the current Emperor Daqing is the same. At the age of 48, the emperor deeply felt that his physical strength was not as good as before, so he yearned for pleasure and luxury day by day.

Everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is well aware of this.

Today's emperors like to pursue the pomp and extravagance of a great country, all of which cost money.

That's why the House of Internal Affairs began to run into deficit year after year. Now Eunuch Liu is in charge of the southern tour, but the House of Internal Affairs can't spend more money, so Eunuch Liu agreed to the proposal of the third prince.

In Eunuch Liu's mind, even if the matter is known to the Holy Majesty, as long as he does not go out of line, the Holy Majesty will probably not blame him. The character of this Holy Majesty, they are not clear to the people who serve in front of the imperial court?

Eunuch Liu withdrew his thoughts, looked at Xie Shu again, and said with a hint of impatience in his tone: "Since this matter is well known, what exactly do you want to say?"

Xie Shu said calmly: "But Eunuch Liu also knows that the emperor's trip has been persuaded by many people. If Ziwei hadn't ordered Lu Shuo to make it happen, this matter is still unknown."

When Eunuch Liu saw Xie Shu talking about Ziwei Ling Lu Shuo, his tone was still so flat, he was suddenly curious, and he didn't know what Lu Shuo's expression was when he found out that he suddenly had such a junior with a completely different temperament.

After thinking about it, Eunuch Liu felt a bit disdainful again. The emperor's southern tour was indeed advised by many veterans, but these people were extremely pedantic and could not see the current situation clearly!What does the emperor want to do, if he doesn't follow suit, but also confronts him, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?

Eunuch Liu doesn't understand the backbone of those literati, he only knows that the people in their inner court can only go far in the long run if they try to figure out the holy will.

At this time, Xie Shu smiled again and said: "Eunuch Liu, you are serving in front of the emperor, so you naturally know the character of the Holy Majesty, since the Holy Majesty is determined to go to the south of the Yangtze River this time, why doesn't he want to make some achievements and block the mouths of the world. Then you say, will the Holy Majesty personally visit the officials and people in Jiangnan to show his sageness? If at this time, someone secretly reports to Mr. Liu that you built a palace in Jiangnan and expropriated salt merchants without permission, what do you think His Majesty will do? ? Therefore, the person who made this suggestion is no less than sending a dangling sword to Eunuch Liu!"

These words were like enlightenment, Eunuch Liu thought about His Majesty's character again, how could he not guess what His Majesty would do at that time?

As for the person who made the suggestion in Xie Shu's mouth, if Eunuch Liu hadn't confirmed that no one else knew about it except Gu Zhong, Eunuch Liu would have suspected that Xie Shu was simply referring to Shao Zhen's name.

For the third prince, Shao Zhen, Eunuch Liu is even more aware that even if he is now in power in the House of Internal Affairs, if something happens to him, Shao Zhen will definitely pick him up, and he will never say anything in order to protect him. Words that would damage the emperor's impression.

In this way, he has become a pawn that can be discarded at any time. Eunuch Liu's hairs stood on end for a moment, but in the next second his eyes were gloomy, and he said to Xie Shu with a smile: "You are smart, but this matter has reached this point , how do you ask me to save it? Besides, if I can't build this palace, how good will the result be?"

But looking at Xie Shu's clear and calm eyes, Eunuch Liu changed his attitude again, showing a kind smile to win him over and saying: "Xie Shu, I know that you came this time because of your husband's business. It has nothing to do with me, but it also arises because of me, if you can come up with an idea, I will help you out of this dilemma."

Hearing Eunuch Liu's assurance, Xie Shu was sure in his heart, it turned out that Gu Zhong did this trick.Yijie's dignified patrolling salt censor, the tactics he used were so base.

What made Xie Shu even more worried was that even if Eunuch Liu solved the difficulties of the Yu family today, what about waiting for the southern tour to end?After offending the Xunyan Yushi, how can the Yu family live better?

Xie Shu must quickly come up with a perfect plan.

Xie Shu pondered for a moment, and Eunuch Liu who was beside him was also walking back and forth, unsteady, at this moment Xie Shu suddenly raised his head, and said calmly: "Eunuch Liu, in my opinion, this is the best... ..”

Several commercial firms of the Yu family here have announced a shortage of goods one after another. Not only that, but now several other wealthy families in Jinling City have joined forces to order other commercial firms not to do business with the Yu family.

These small merchants were all on the move when they heard the wind, and they couldn't see the direction of the wind in Jinling City, so of course they didn't dare to go against it.

Now the Yu family can only receive the goods from foreign commercial firms at a higher price than usual, but how long can they last like this?

Seeing that Yu's business was squeezed out, and another company came to poach people with high salaries. In just a few days, the shopkeepers and managers of four commercial firms have submitted their resignations to Yu Chuxi.

This morning, another business manager approached Yu Chuxi, he hesitated to thank the Yu family for their years of cultivation, and left in a hurry.

Feng He couldn't help but spat lightly in her heart. These people were all brought up by the Yu family, but they couldn't even cross the wind and rain. In just a few days, they just rubbed the soles of their feet with oil. Jun withhold the contract signed with them and see what they will do!

At the same time, Fenghe looked at Yu Chuxi worriedly. In the past few days, such a big incident happened in Yu's family, how worried Mr. Lang should be now!How could this matter be so easily resolved?That Eunuch Liu is an eunuch from the palace, so it's hard to even meet him!

Feng He hesitated and said: "Mr. Lang, these five commercial firms are no longer managed by anyone, do you want to..."

The word "closed shop" is like a thorn, and I can't say it. Over the years, except for the Chinese New Year, where has the Yu family closed the shop? What Fenghe is more worried about is that this closure will be closed forever, after all If the Yu family no longer has any funds to circulate and cannot maintain their expenses at all, the best way for the Yu family now is to sell it to others as soon as possible before the business has shrunk much. If you sell it, you can only sell it cheaply!

Yu Chu paused for a while, glanced at the Western clock on the table and said thoughtfully, "It's almost time."

Immediately afterwards, Yu Chuxi raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "These people have long thought that even if there is no accident in the Yu family, it will be a disaster if they keep it, so they just need to clean it up, Feng He, listen to me, those shops don't have to close, but It’s about buying something.”

Feng He looked at Mr. Lang suspiciously, who is willing to sell things to the Yu family now?

After listening to Lang Jun's words, Feng He's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked someone to inform the people below, but at this moment, someone outside suddenly reported that someone from the Su family had come to the door.

This time, the members of the Su family seemed to be quite polite, and they came to visit with four-color gifts, but this was not the case at all.

Su Kai, the master of the Su family, had a smug face, followed by dozens of servants, looking menacing.

When Yu Chuxi arrived, a strange color flashed in Su Kai's eyes. He had heard that the young head of the Yu family was a very beautiful couple, but in the shopping malls on weekdays, the other party's methods were cruel, and Su Kai hated him. His teeth were itching, and he thought that when he arrived at Yu's house today, he would have to kill the other party's prestige first. Seeing the person in front of him, Su Kai was in a dilemma for a while. Such a beautiful pair, if he cares too much about the past, wouldn't it seem I don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.

Seeing Su Kai's expression at this time, Yu Chuxi couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he couldn't help feeling disgusted, but Yu Chuxi had to deal with him to delay time.

Yu Chuxi's eyes were indifferent, and his tone was a bit cold: "Master Su, you have brought so many people to block the door of my Yu's house, do you know what it means to disturb the people for no reason? The Yu family does not welcome guests like you."

Su Kai laughed a few times. He didn't expect Yu Chuxi to be in such a situation, and he still had such a high posture. He hurriedly said: "What do I mean? I came to the Yu family this time to discuss something with the young master. At the same time, I also visited the master of the Yu family, and I heard that the master of the Yu family has been sick for a long time, so I specially brought a lot of medicinal materials."

Yu Chuxi forced a smile on his face, but he still didn't let go and said, "Since Mr. Su came to visit sincerely, it's not impossible to go in, but the Yu family's small family can't accommodate so many people."

Su Kai was a little embarrassed when he heard the words. Of course, he brought these people not only to overwhelm them with arrogance, but more importantly, what these servants carried was actually the silver used to buy the Yu Family Commercial Bank. Of course, the value of it was far from enough. It's just that Su Kai thinks that Yu Chuxi is a smart person, and he should know that if he comes back after today, it won't be at this price!

When he comes back tomorrow, he will bring even less than today. Of course, if it is too late, things will change. It will be a night full of dreams, so it is better to get it done as soon as possible.

What's more, if he took out the money, there is no reason to take it back. Once the transaction is established, there is nothing wrong with suing the government. At that time, even if Yu Chuxi is unwilling, he has to obediently transfer the business to him.

But since Yu Chuxi was loose, Su Kai didn't want to push too much, lest he go too far, he left most of his servants outside, and only brought a few in, and then changed according to the situation.

After entering Yu's house, Su Kai wanted to get straight to the point, but Yu Chuxi asked him to meet Master Yu first, but Yu Wanli's health is not very good now, so he needs to wait a little longer.

After all, this is what he said just now, and Su Kai can't go back on his word, but it won't take long if he wants to delay for a while, but who knows that Su Kai will wait for an hour, and when Master Yu arrives, he wasted a lot of time.

At this time, Su Kai didn't understand that he was being tricked by Yu Chuxi. He wanted to turn his back on him directly, but he could see that Yu Chuxi was also beside him, but he couldn't see any clues. He cared about Master Yu so much, so Su Kai had no choice but to accompany him. sit.

When Yu Wanli was finally exhausted and went back to his room to rest, Su Kai broke out and said, "Young Master Yu, what do you mean by that? I wanted to talk to you about the current business affairs. It seems that Young Master Yu is not in a hurry at all!"

Yu Chuxi's beautiful and ruthless eyes flashed a trace of sarcasm, he turned around and said lightly: "Master Su, what does this mean? Before entering Yu's house just now, I said that I would come to visit my father, but it took only a short while. Are you impatient? I thought Master Su was more sincere than others, but I was wrong."

Su Kai was startled when he heard the words. Although he gave the other three families benefits in advance to keep them from interfering, it is hard to guarantee that there are some people who are active and want to share a piece of the Yu family's pie, but Su Kai didn't show it on his face, and smiled again. "Where can it be? Naturally, I came here with great sincerity. I was in a hurry just now, and I hoped that the young master would not be offended. Now, can we discuss it?"

Yu Chuxi nodded slightly, but he said with a bit of distress: "Master Su, you also met just now, I dare not tell him about my father's situation, but if he finds out that he How can I be relieved that a business that started from scratch has become what it is today, so I need to be extremely cautious about this matter."

Su Kai was impatient, but he had no choice but to understand, thinking about it, it seems that the price needs to be discussed in detail.

At this moment, Yu Chuxi asked someone to bring in the account books of all the commercial firms: "Then let's do the calculations one by one."

Su Kai and Yu Chuxi were dizzy from negotiating in the morning until dusk approached. The numbers in front of them became blurred, and they finally negotiated a number that both parties were satisfied with.

Of course, it's not that Su Kai didn't want to give more money and solve it as soon as possible, but Yu Chuxi didn't agree and asked him to figure it out so that it wouldn't change again in the future.

Seeing that Yu Chuxi was really planning to sell all the firms, Su Kai was relieved. When the final result came out, Su Kai also heaved a sigh of relief and asked his subordinates to draw up the contract with a smile.

Looking at the 50 taels of silver written in black and white, Su Kai was overjoyed. Although this figure was much higher than he expected, it was already discounted several times by the Yu family's firms!

Su Kai vigorously pressed his fingerprints on his name, and then handed the deed to Yu Chuxi, while Feng He blocked him and took it first.

Seeing this scene, Su Kai felt dissatisfied, and still smiled and said, "Young master, to tell you the truth, I have prepared 35 taels of silver today, and put it outside the gate of Yu's house. To show my sincerity, I will deliver it first today." These deposits, I will send the rest tomorrow."

Of course, Su Kai sneered in his heart, saying that it was tomorrow, and he didn't know how long it would be. Now Yu Chuxi is just an empty shell of the young master, and he will beg himself in the future!

Yu Chuxi's fair and slender fingers twirled the paper as thin as a cicada's wing at will, and the corners of his lips curled into a smile that was not a smile, and his voice was as cold as jade: "Who said I agreed?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he tore up the deed lightly while Su Kai's eyes were about to tear.

Seeing the torn pieces of paper falling lightly in front of his eyes, Su Kai was so angry that Yu Chuxi dared to do this, where did he have the confidence to play him like this?Now that the Yu family firm is in decline, only the Su family is willing to pay such a generous price to buy it. Was it crazy for Yu Chuxi to offend him at this time?

Su Kai sternly asked: "Yu Chuxi, do you know what the situation of the Yu family is like now? From today onwards, the Yu family will no longer be able to gain a foothold!"

Yu Chuxi looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Really? Unfortunately, it's too late."

Hearing what Yu Chuxi said, Su Kai also realized something at this moment. Yu Chuxi has been delaying his time today, but even so, what can one day do?

unless......

Su Kai was able to gain a firm foothold in Jinling so quickly, and he was by no means mediocre, and he understood it in an instant.In the past few days, if there was anything unusual about the Yu family, the only thing they had was hoarding rice grains from major merchants.

But now it is unusual.

Now if the Yu family wants to turn around, there is only one way. There are no merchants in Jinling City who are willing to do business with the Yu family, but there is a kind of people who are willing, and this kind of people cannot be controlled, and that is the people.

Yu Chuxi must have bought rice from the people. Now it is the busy season of May, and it is also the season for rice transplanting.Because there is still a period of time before the harvest, people need to buy rice from various rice shops at this time. The Yu family is uncharacteristically collecting rice from farmers. He has already arranged for it, and other commercial companies have not reacted in time. Within a month, the price of rice will drop will increase several times.Now only the Yu family's granary is rich, so the Yu family can continue to operate.

Thinking of this, Su Kai was shocked, but he became even more annoyed. He suddenly laughed and said, "Yu Chuxi, even if you are so smart, how long can you do this? If you don't listen to me obediently, can you still ask me Who? Could it be that useless man of yours?"

Just now Su Kai couldn't help but think of the poor scholar Yu Chuxi married into a family. How can those who are willing to marry into a family do well?Even if this Xie Shu has some reputation outside, what use can it be at this time?Even Yu Chuxi came forward for this matter, but the man from this family was nowhere to be seen.

However, at this moment, he heard an extremely cold voice from behind him: "Who are you, talking nonsense in front of my husband?"

Hearing such words, Su Kai was worried that he couldn't find Xie Shu. He turned to look, but he never expected that there were several Lanling guards beside Xie Shu. These guards Su Kai had met once before. Isn't it the person in front of Eunuch Liu? How could he follow behind Xie Shu and obey his orders...

At this time, a guard also recognized Su Kai, and reported to Xie Shu in a low voice. Shang Wei expressed his gratitude to His Majesty for his benevolence and kindness, and donated money to build a palace in Jinling, and hereby ask His Majesty to reward us, and my Yu family will be responsible for this matter. From now on, the other four salt merchants must fully cooperate."

As soon as these words came out, he was shocked like a stone breaking the sky. Not only did Su Kai lose his mind, he almost fell to his knees, Yu Chuxi also widened his eyes. He never thought that Xie Shu would be able to escape from Eunuch Liu's hand in such a short period of time. After seeing this handwritten letter, it means that the matter of donating money has come to light, and they may have a chance to face each other in the future.

But how did Xie Shu do it?

Xie Shu cast a comforting look at Yu Chuxi, then turned to Su Kai and said coldly: "Su Kai, what objection do you have?"

At this moment, Su Kai complained a lot, so he didn't dare to speak, so he hurriedly apologized to the two with a smile, saying that he was blind just now, and seeing that the two of them ignored his intentions, Su Kai withdrew out in desperation.

As soon as they left, Xie Shu looked at Yu Chuxi softly, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Lang, I'm late."

Yu Chuxi hurriedly shook his head and walked forward, leaning on his side to look at the handwriting in his hand, only to see that the content of the handwriting was the same as what Xie Shu said just now, so he couldn't help asking even more suspiciously: "What is this? what happened?"

Xie Shu smiled slightly, took Yu Chuxi's hand and sat down and said, "Lang Jun, listen to me slowly."

It turned out that Xie Shu's suggestion to Eunuch Liu was about the construction of the palace. It is better to change from Eunuch Liu's extortion to a salt merchant's voluntary donation, and report it to Nanfeng. This will not only make the emperor happy, but also show Eunuch Liu's ability to handle affairs.

Hearing this idea, Eunuch Liu was also moved. If His Majesty had been informed of this matter earlier, His Majesty would definitely not blame him.

But at this time, Eunuch Liu made another request that Xie Shu didn't expect. Since the major salt merchants donated money to build it, let the Yu family take care of it.

Speaking of this, Xie Shu couldn't help showing a bit of apology, and said softly: "Mr. Lang, I don't know if you are willing to accept this matter. I wanted to ask you first before replying to Eunuch Liu. Unfortunately... ..."

Xie Shu actually knows a thing or two about Eunuch Liu's purpose. Eunuch Liu doesn't know if he doesn't trust him, or because he wants to tie himself to his boat, but he is responsible for building the palace. In this case, this is not a bad move, but it is not trivial.Let Lang Jun take charge of this matter, I don't know if Lang Jun is willing or not.

Yu Chuxi was stunned. She didn't expect Xie Shu to apologize for this. His eyes were so gentle. When he looked at him, it was like being blown by a warm spring breeze. He respected himself so much, and so did he. ...and love yourself.

The corners of Yu Chuxi's lips curled up slightly, and he looked at Xie Shu Qingjun's face with bright eyes, his heart was ups and downs, and he couldn't stop his joy.

Yu Chuxi couldn't bear it anymore, he suddenly raised his face, approached Xie Shu, and then lightly "tweeted" on his face.
