The regent's little Jiaojiao is so troublesome

Chapter 680 I will definitely do my best
For a time, the business of the common people in the whole city was concentrated in Jiulixiang.

When Bai Yingying came out of Jiulixiang, she happened to see a young man in white standing under the eaves of the opposite street, who was Yue Tingfeng.

When Yue Tingfeng saw her, a smile appeared on his face immediately, and a pair of eyes as warm as jade reflected a little light.

Even though Bai Yingying was disguised as a man, Yue Tingfeng still recognized her at a glance.

Yue Tingfeng walked quickly to Bai Yingying's side, and said in a gentle voice, "Are you free? Can I take a step to talk? I have some news and I want to tell you."

Bai Yingying knew that he was now an official in the court, and since he said some news, it must be related to this incident.

So she nodded.

Miaoyinfang is not very far from Jiulixiang. Yue Tingfeng took Bai Yingying through several alleys and came to Miaoyinfang.

Yue Tingfeng's face was full of worry: "I've heard about Jiulixiang. I admire Yingying's benevolence. However, with such a large amount, where do you plan to buy Yingying's food?"

Bai Yingying: "It's nearby, Anyang City, Shu, whatever."

"However, even if you can provide a few batches of food, what will you do in the future?" Yue Tingfeng's face became more worried: "The soaring price this time is entirely caused by the imperial court's excessive expropriation. If this crux is not resolved, this problem will always be If it can’t be resolved, your Jiulixiang may also be lost.”

Bai Yingying tilted her head and looked up at him: "Brother Yue said so, is there a way to solve this problem?"

Yue Tingfeng shook his head slowly: "This time, the soaring taxes in Jinling City, in the final analysis, are caused by the emptiness of the national treasury. Unless the treasury is filled, the emperor will not take this matter to heart."

Bai Yingying: "Did you bring me here just to tell me this?"

Yue Tingfeng shook his head: "I have some fields in Anyang City, and I have stockpiled some food at home. If you need it, I can have someone bring that food over to solve your urgent needs."

A smile appeared on Bai Yingying's face: "Thank you, but I don't need it for now. I will ask you for help when I need it."

A look of disappointment flashed in Yue Tingfeng's eyes, she said so, it should be that King Qin has food preparations.

Yue Tingfeng thought for a while: "Don't worry, I will try my best to persuade the emperor to cancel all unnecessary taxes."

Bai Yingying nodded: "Brother Yue, if you can persuade the emperor to exempt these extra taxes, that would be very good."

She said, looking outside the door: "I still have something to do here, so I'll take my leave first."

Yue Tingfeng hurriedly said: "If Yingying needs me, just say so, and I will definitely do my best."

Bai Yingying looked at him, and suddenly asked: "Brother Yue, the recent tax collection is so messy, shouldn't it be an order from the emperor himself?"

Yue Tingfeng nodded: "This year Jinling City increased taxes once, and that was an order personally issued by the emperor in the court. The emperor did not order the taxes for the next few times."

"That's good." Bai Yingying thought for a while, and then asked: "Brother Yue, do you know who gave this order?"

Yue Tingfeng: "The income of the imperial court has always been under the control of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Presumably the taxation this time is also an order from the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Bai Yingying nodded: "I see."

She said goodbye to Yue Tingfeng, and after leaving Miaoyinfang, Bai Yingying went to Jiulixiang.

After Jiulixiang closed in the evening, not long after, people came to Jiulixiang's door from time to time.
