Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 247 Liu Qi is a bit depressed
When Su Yue woke up, it was already high in the sun.

While picking up the gauze curtain, Mint said: "Girl, the third master went out early in the morning. Let me tell you that there is a heavy rain in the south. He is going to walk around in the past few days."

Su Yue was slightly taken aback.

Is it raining in the south?

That is, started?

Xie Jue went to the surrounding area, probably to see those farms.

He once told her that Che Ling bought 15 mu of fertile land here, and she knew that once there was a flood in the south, the price of food in the capital would rise, so Xie Jue naturally knew better.

This is to prepare for the news.

It's good to have a capable husband, and you don't need to worry about it.

After these words flashed across Su Yue's mind, her face turned red.

After blushing, he patted his face again.

What's there to be shy about, hypocritical!

If you have time to be shy, why not think about what to do next, how to keep the emperor from meddling, so that she can marry Xie Jue smoothly.

Marry Xie Jue~~
Ah, so shy!
"Girl? What's wrong with you?" Seeing Su Yue rolling around on the bed with her face in her hands, Mint called in confusion.

"It's all right!" Su Yue was startled, and quickly sat up and said, "I got up."

Ding Xiang came in from the outside with a water basin in her hands. Hearing Su Yue's words, she smiled and said, "Miss is up? Coincidentally, Tang's guard outside asked, when are you going to Ruiyunfang?"

"Ruiyunfang?" Su Yue was stunned for a moment.

"That's right, the Tang guard said, the third master told the girl to go shopping today. There is a new kind of ointment in Ruiyunfang. The third master has already made an appointment with the owner of that house, saying that the girl is going to go shopping today. Pick." Ding Xiang said while putting the handkerchief into the water.

Su Yue let out an ah, remembering.

This Ruiyun Fang is Liu Qi's incense shop, which is specially aimed at the rich and powerful. The rouge balm they sell is of the highest quality, not only the price is expensive, some varieties, you can't buy it without a reservation.

A few days ago when she was washing up, Xie Jue came in, and seeing the balm she was using, he said that although the balm was not cheap, it was not suitable for her.

So this is on your mind?

The Liu family has a big business, and now it is backed by the emperor's queen mother. Liu Qi owns a lot of shops, including more than 20 Xiang shops.

Although this Ruiyunfang is the most upscale among them, Liu Qi rarely comes here in person.

Today, he entered the shop before noon. The shopkeeper was very surprised. After serving tea and incense, he came to report with the account book.

Liu Qi glanced at it casually, then threw it aside, and asked someone to bring up his newly prepared balm and powder, put it on the big table at the side, and then drank tea while looking out the window.

It looked like he was waiting for someone, so the shopkeeper didn't have much to do and withdrew.

Liu Qi felt a little depressed.

It was obviously his idea to the emperor, asking the emperor to designate Su Yue's tea as tribute tea, and the production of the tea garden under his name would not be included in the official discussion.

But he was cut off by the son of Duke Rong, so he asked Su Yue to cooperate first.

If Xie Jue hadn't approached him later and proposed a comprehensive cooperation with spices, he would definitely have talked to Su Yue and Rong Shizi.

But what Xie Jue said is true. Since the first emperor's meeting, Cai Xiang has been talking about the comprehensive government consultation of spices and tea. When the palace changed, this matter was delayed. mention these two.

The emperor didn’t know much about government affairs, and Lord Zheng only knew about military affairs. The things that Cai Xiang mentioned were all darkened, and he couldn’t understand them at all. He only knew that the result behind it was that it could increase the tax revenue of 500 million yuan for the court.

Fifteen million guan, the sum of all the taxes of the Song Dynasty for a year is 500 million guan, which is equivalent to a direct increase of 15.00%.

Either way it's a good thing.

Fortunately, there are Han Xiang and Qin Yushi on top of the court. Although these two people do not understand common affairs, they must first oppose what Cai Bing said. There are millions of tea farmers, and the coast relies on sea transportation There are also tens of thousands of people who were born. Once the regulations are disturbed, I am afraid that it will cause turmoil and the people's hearts will be unstable, so the matter will be delayed.

However, at the court this morning, Prime Minister Han was a little relieved.

If Han Xiang and Qin Yushi let go, and the cabinet passed these two resolutions, the emperor would definitely... have no opinion.

However, these two bills involve a lot after all, and it does not mean that they can be implemented after they are promulgated. Together, they will cause greater changes, so Cai Bing will implement the same first.

Now that Jiangnan has such a big case, I think Cai Bing will not move his hand to the sea first.

Then, the first thing to do will be tea.

As soon as the tea is discussed, then the special case of Su Yue has really become a golden mountain that everyone is jealous of.

It's not that he can't keep the tea house.

However, compared to the tens of millions or even tens of millions of teas sold in the spice industry that year, this small number of tea leaves is really not a big deal.

(Although the quantity of common tea is large, the profit is small and troublesome)

According to the plan provided by Xie Jue, there are at least 25 kinds of spices, and the two of them can monopolize the entire Song country market.

The amount involved is as high as 3000 million.

With a gross profit of 20.00%, he can earn more than 700 million yuan a year.

Moreover, it is safe.

Of course, to be completely safe, we still have to find a way to prevent Cai Bing's incense law from being implemented.

If Xie Jue hadn't explained it to him, he really wouldn't have known that the implementation of the Xiangyu Law did seem to increase taxes, but it was a rob of the hard-earned money of sea merchants and sailors.

Those sea merchants and sailors have gone through untold hardships and fought against the sea to the death, all for a high profit.

As a result, you in the Song Dynasty sold only [-] guan of spices for a single incense, and you worked hard to get double the money.

And you, Song Dynasty, have no risks at all, just discuss it like this, and you have earned [-] guan.

Would those sea merchants and sailors still be willing to ship spices to Song?These many spices are not produced in the Song Dynasty itself, and if the sea merchants are not transported, those spices will be reduced or even eliminated immediately!Not to mention that the people of the Song Dynasty were unlucky and didn't get spices, where did the court go to discuss it?
This business is killing the chicken and taking the eggs, not to mention, there is the most important thing.

Did the imperial court really get the eighty guan?

No, for the eighty guan, the imperial court only got [-] guan, and the other [-] guan were in the hands of officials at all levels.

After the incense discussion, merchants who want to buy and sell spices have to get Xiangyin, and the extra price of this Xiangyin is determined by the officials.

If it is really counted, even if it is him Liu Qi, the cost of Xiangyin is [-]% higher than that of Xie Jue!
This is not a small amount!

What the hell, Cai Bing wants to cut off his money to fill his own pockets!

He can't control the tea, and he has no interest in it, but this incense, whatever it is, has to be discarded!

For three thousand dollars, he can only make [-]% by himself!
It's just that he didn't enter the court, and he had no right to speak in the court. Most of the officials he made friends with were eating and drinking with him, and they could do some things. This kind of thing that was done against Cai Bing might not help him.

And the Queen Mother and the Emperor...

Nor will he give up 500 million a year in taxes just because he said.

(He is the emperor and he doesn't do it)
The only thing that can make the emperor agree unconditionally is...

"My lord, there is a Miss Su outside who said she made an appointment with you to pick up the goods." There was a light knock on the door, and the shopkeeper said from outside.

Liu Qi stood up and said, "Ask her to come up to see the goods."

Su Yue thought she was just here to see the goods, and after picking them out, she was ready to continue shopping in other shops.

As a result, he followed the shopkeeper to the innermost luxury private room, and saw Liu Qi.

Eyes blinked unconsciously.

That's right, this Liu Qi is a smart man, with his help, he should be able to persuade the Queen Mother not to marry her casually.

The shopkeeper of Ruiyunfang is also well-informed, and has seen all kinds of noble people.

But at first glance, this master and Miss Su, when they met, they twisted their lips at the same time, with a scheming smile on their faces...

Silently closed the door and left.
