Chapter 264 Come and Go

The two went all the way to the Salesian Bureau and did not go in. They just stood outside and watched Wu Chengshan busy. After a long time, they stepped back a few steps back along the already empty street and whispered.

"•••••Why don't the prince persuade him tomorrow? Although Wu Chengshan is a little circuitous, he is really honest for the people. Such a good official is very strange.

"Well, good!" Su Zicheng simply agreed, but Li Xiaoyao shook her head and sighed, "I'm willing to persuade him again. What will happen in the future, you can't blame me..." Li Xiaoyao didn't go any further. Su Zicheng quickly comforted him in a low voice, "How can you blame for the war between the two countries? You think too much again." Li Xiaoyao looked up at him and lowered his head without saying anything. The two walked back on the blue stone road. Li Xiaoyao turned his head and looked at the closed doors on both sides of the road and the shops for the rest of his life after the disaster. Su Zicheng followed her eyes and smiled, "With you take care of it, I can't run on the street for half a month at most. Horse."

Li Xiaoyao gave an absent-minded 'um' sound, and the two turned around. Li Xiaoyao turned to look at Su Zicheng and discussed, "This year, the wind and rain on Huainan Road have been smooth. Up to now, this war has not caused much harm to the countryside. We have reduced 30% of the grain supplies. In autumn, we are afraid that the grain will hurt farmers." Su Zicheng just listened. Since Li Xiaoyao mentioned this matter, he must have made a success. Li Xiaoyao looked at Su Zicheng and stopped for a while before he continued to say, "Wu Di tea, wine and salt are all official sales."

"Salt, we are also officially sold." Su Zicheng explained quickly,

"Well, I know that Huainan Road has been merged into Beiping. This tea and wine are the same as the rules of Beiping, just like the official ban, just like salt," Li Xiaoyao said with a smile, "From north to south of Lugang can be made into excellent salt fields, but I don't agree with official sales. It's not good for officials. Officials only need to collect taxes. , I mean... Li Xiaoyao looked at Su Zicheng in a long voice. Su Zicheng nodded and motioned to her. Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "I mean, ask the merchants in Beiping and Liangdi to come to do business on Huainan Road to avoid Huainan Road merchants helping the benefits of tea, wine and salt. It is too prosperous, forming a trend that the tail will not fall. There is Bei Peace and Liangdi merchants are divided, and it is best to check and balance each other. Second, even if you are a person, you have to come and go often to get close. If you want to quickly integrate Huainan Road into Beiping, you have to come and go more and do more business.

"It's a good idea to ask merchants from Beiping and Liangdi to do business. What's the name for it? Why don't you issue an order?" Su Zicheng stopped and frowned at Li Xiaoyao and asked. Li Xiaoyao looked at him with a depressed face, took a deep breath and sighed heavily. Su Zicheng coughed gently a few times and said, "This method is the cheapest!" Li Xiaoyao looked at him and hummed, "Is it the cheapest? The most expensive is almost the same! Do cows press their heads if they don't drink water? Merchants are looking for profit. As long as the wind is released, they will say that Huainan Road is full of gold..." Su Zicheng turned his head, shook off the fan and said, "Gold everywhere? Where is it? Let's cheat first? Forget it, it's up to you. It's really troublesome!" Li Xiaoyao blinked repeatedly and simply ignored Su Zicheng. He shook his hand and walked forward while laughing.

Su Zicheng followed Li Xiaoyao and reminded him, "No businessman is treacherous. Don't be too polite to deal with these businessmen."

"Alas!" Li Xiaoyao sighed heavily, stopped, looked up at Su Zicheng and asked, "Do you really think so?"

"Hmm! Chongnong suppressed merchants, and merchants did nothing to produce and resell profits. My mother also said that merchants could not have it, but they could not let the wind of business spread, so that it hurt the root of the country. Su Zicheng said solemnly. Li Xiaoyao looked at him in a daze and blinked his eyes for a long time, but couldn't say a word. After a long time, Li Xiaoyao took a long breath. Since Empress Xiaoci said that it was the truth, she understood this very well. Li Xiaoyao walked discouragedly and walked for a while, slowed down and looked up. Su Zicheng said seriously, "No businessman, no treachery, this is really right, but this treacherous word is exquisite."

"What's the point?" Su Zicheng asked with a smile, and Li Xiaoyao said with a smile, "Have you heard of the mall like a battlefield?" Su Zicheng shook his head, and Li Xiaoyao continued to say, "A traitor, there are small traitors and big traitors. This little traitor is not to mention, and it is not in the flow. This big traitor is a little clumsy. The real traitor's merchants are loyal and honest elders, saying a lot of money. Such merchants, even if they encounter a big disaster, At night, Wanguan's wealth turned into scorched earth. As long as others are still there, with their reputation, but in half a few months, the business is still booming, and this is the real traitor!" Su Zicheng was stunned and thought about it for a while before laughing, "It makes a little sense."

"It's actually very difficult for businessmen to make money. It's not that smart people really can't do it. This is different from farming. As long as they are willing to work hard, the revenue will not be too bad. It's not like this. Can anyone make money by doing business?" Li Xiaoyao continued to gossip. Su Zicheng thought for a moment and smiled: "The eldest sister has done the tea business, and she has lost all the money. She was so angry that she almost sent the shopkeeper to the government."

"You have also opened a restaurant." Li Xiaoyao continued with a smile: "This business is doing well. Like your war, it requires talent and aura. It's really not something that can be flooded." Su Zicheng looked at the smiling Li Xiaoyao and smiled, "I have a talent for war. You have a talent for doing business, but it's not bad."

The two talked and laughed all the way back to the government office. At this time, it had been changed to the general office of Chuzhou. After dinner, Li Xiaoyao returned to the side courtyard and thought for a long time. He ordered Haitang to lay paper and ink. First, he wrote a letter to Shuilian, asking her to find Zhao Wuge and Zhang Gouzi to send a message for her, and asked them to bring a full silver ticket quickly. I came to Huainan Road to buy raw silk. Huainan Road is a bumper this year, but Wudi is in a war. This raw silk backlog is the right time to buy it cheaply. In addition, Huainan Road is rich in grain and oil, as well as all kinds of cunning things imported from overseas. Because of the chaos of Wu, there is also a lot of backlogs. The text is white, and it took more than two pages straight to finish. Raise it up carefully. Look, this letter really can't be read! He sighed, put it in the envelope and sealed it with lacquer, and wrote a letter to Yu Yuanshan. He simply understood a few words and only told him that Huainan Road would open tea, wine and salt farms. There were no words left, and it was sealed and handed over to Haitang, and people sent them out overnight.

Just after the next day's meal, Su Zicheng waved his folding fan and strode in. He sat straight to the left head of Li Xiaoyao. With a gloomy face, he scared off the officials all over the house. Looking at Li Xiaoyao's spread out his hands and said, "I can't say that it's a stone!" Forget it!" Li Xiaoyao sighed and looked at Su Zicheng and whispered, "Then don't procrastinate. The sooner the better."

"Well, I'll listen to your arrangement. You're more careful than me." Su Zicheng nodded and replied. Li Xiaoyao looked down at his hand and sighed. He turned his head to find Dongping and called over and told him, "Go and tell Wu Chengshan that the prince respects him and loves the people's loyalty. He can't bear to kill him and hurt the hearts of the people of Chuzhou. Today, I will send him back to Taiping Mansion. There are two things. Please ask him to decide for himself. First, Shi Guozhu's noon. Shi Guozhu killed and asked him if he had sacrificed Shi Guozhu before leaving, or whether he would leave now. Second, there were two concubines around Shi Guozhu, as if they were pregnant. He wanted to ask him to take him back to Taiping Mansion and send him back to the historian, and asked him if he would like to take him with him. Dongping bowed and agreed and withdrew to find Wu Chengshan to send a message. Li Xiaoyao waved to Qingcheng and ordered, "Go and take Shi Guozhu's two concubines to say goodbye to Shi Guozhu, and ask which one is pregnant. The prince said, for Lord Wu's face, if she is pregnant, send her back to Taiping Mansion with Lord Wu." Qingcheng blinked her eyes, looked at Li Xiaoyao and smiled, "If not, do you have to wait on General Shi to return to the west?"

"That's okay." Li Xiaoyao replied with a smile, and Qingcheng bent her knees and smiled, "I understand what the girl means." With that, he stepped back two steps out of the hall, called two rude women, and took them to the back room.

Shi Guozhu's two concubines, Zhao and Qian, followed the green orange in horror and stumbled to the front yard. In the front courtyard room, Shi Guo sat on the bed with bloodless columns and stared straight at the pearl standing in front of him. The pearl was passing Su Zicheng's order: "••••• What is To behead you to show the public, it was Lord Wu who pleaded for you, saying that it was a good colleague. I couldn't bear to see your head. For the sake of Lord Wu's face, the master ordered you to hang yourself, at least leave a whole body. I also allowed your two concubines to come to worship and send you on the road. By the way, Lord Wu said, at least a colleague, later he I'll also come and give you a ride." After saying that, Mingzhu looked up at the moment he was talking. The black guard had neatly sat between the beams, glanced at Shi Guozhu, who was sitting in a daze, and turned out.

Qingcheng led Zhao and Qian to the door of the room. He stopped at the door of the wing room and raised his chin to signal her mother-in-law to give them the bag with wine and vegetables. Zhao and Qian trembled and took the bag and stumbled into the east wing. Qingcheng listened to the movement in the room with her ears, and there was a high and low sound in the room. A suppressed cry, with Zhao and Qian's vague words: "•••••• What should I do?••••••••••• Lord Wu•••••"

"Shut up!" Shi Guozhu shouted loudly, which scared Qingcheng to be cleverly, "Scum! Pooh! An old dog who is afraid of death! Bah!" Shi Guozhu shouted hoarsely. Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out his head to look at the drooping flower door. Seeing that the little man beside Dongping turned into the drooping flower door, he quickly raised his hand to signal his mother-in-law to drag Zhao and Qian out, and half dragged them to the hanging flower door.
