Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 468 Warm water boiled frog

"What does he want to do?" Xie Jue's face suddenly darkened.

"Third Lord." Su Yue held his hand backhand, and said to the guard: "Be more specific, why is it like that? How did you inquire? When you go to the teahouse, how did you ask?"

When she first heard that King Kang was inquiring about her, Su Yuena's heart jumped a few times, but when Xie Jue was so angry, her heart calmed down.

Kang Wang inquired about her, and there was only one possibility she could think of.

The guard thought for a while and said: "It's like this. In the beginning, it was one of our brothers who worked as a guard in the palace. He was lazy when he was on duty. He happened to see King Kang making friends with the little maid in the Empress Dowager's palace. Between words I asked a lot about the Empress Dowager, and later asked about the girl, how did the girl and the Queen Mother get along? Does the emperor often come to look for the girl. "

Su Yue's heart fell completely. Sure enough, King Kang came to her for this, because she was favored by the queen mother and the emperor.

(What are you being lazy on duty? Are you sure you didn't squat in the dark and peep?)

"His heart is not small." Xie Jue snorted coldly, and after Su Yue gave him a sideways glance, he said, "Go ahead."

"Later, when Eunuch He had a rest and returned to the small yard we bought for him, he said to the people waiting in the yard that King Kang was very filial, and he often greeted the queen mother and queen, and drank the girl's wine at the queen mother's place. Tea kept saying hello, and even mentioned it to the Queen Mother, saying that he wanted to make tea with this tea maker, so that he could be filial to the Queen Mother in the future."

"He has a lot of scheming." Xie Jue snorted, then turned to Su Yue and said, "Stay away from him, this guy has a bad heart, and he wants to use you."

Make tea?

fart!

Lao Tzu has been making tea since Yue’er was seven years old, and he still hasn’t learned how to make Yue’er’s taste (the hate of a genius), you little brat, you’re like me!

This is to please that stupid old woman, Empress Dowager Liu, to gain impression points.

No wonder the empress dowager and the empress issued the decree at the same time, and it turned out to be here.

Su Yue chuckled, hugged his arm and said, "Then why do you think he is?"

This is to find out how important she is to the empress dowager, and then to see how much she can be used.

In his previous life, he was a prince who was forgotten by the emperor. When he returned to Beijing, he did not have such a great contribution to raising food. At that time, the prince had already secured his position, and the following princes were also given special exceptions. Most of them were first-rank princes. (Generally, the princes of the emperor without serious mistakes are named princes), and many people don't understand that the nine princes are named Kang Wang.

Only a few people knew that it was because the emperor insisted that even Prime Minister Cai couldn't do anything about it.

The reason why the emperor insisted was because King Kang told the emperor that he wanted to marry Su Yue, the one whom no one dared to marry since he had reconciled twice.

I'm afraid that in her previous life, when she was healing in the villa, King Kang was doing the same thing in the palace.

Seeing the sneer on Su Yue's face, Xie Jue nodded in satisfaction, and said to the guard, "What else? How did he go to the teahouse to ask?"

The guard looked at the change in Xie Jue's face, held back a smile, and said with a paralyzed face: "First, a eunuch from the palace came to buy tea. At that time, the girl's latest oolong tea also arrived. The steward of the teahouse Thinking that the eunuch wanted to drink it himself, he recommended it, and then said that it was newly developed by the girl, and it was only given as a gift to regular customers. The eunuch was talking nonsense, trying to figure out where the girl is now? Still in the tea garden in Fujian? Which tea garden was it? Commander Che happened to be there at the time, and he listened to it all, and the person in charge really didn’t know anything. The eunuch didn’t ask anything, so he bought a few catties. Going to the moon tea, Commander Che sent someone to follow him, and found that the man had entered Kang Wang's mansion, and later our people in the mansion confirmed that during that time, Kang Wang was indeed drinking first-class moon tea."

"His idea is quite deep." Xie Jue's face darkened again, and his gums were grinding.

This is to wait for the address to be set out, so come and greet me in person!

You brat, I don't want to beat you to death!

Seeing his appearance, Su Yue burst out laughing: "Is it useful for him to make up his mind?"

Xie Jue was startled for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, he turned to the guard and said, "Apart from this, what else is there?"

"One more thing. Now the price of silk and spices in the capital has started to increase. Commander Che said that there will be a big increase next month." The guard lowered his head, as if he didn't see the interaction between the two.

"Is it starting to rise now?" Xie Jue chuckled.

After Cai Bing’s road tax was issued, Mr. Gao here on Liangzhe Road issued an order to lower the road tax by [-]%, and removed a few checkpoints. However, after leaving Liangzhe Road and entering Jiangdong Road, the road tax will be reduced. It tripled directly, and it increased to ten times when it arrived in Yangzhou. On the way from Zhenjiang to Huai'an, there were twice as many canals.

At the beginning of May, some merchants who didn't understand the situation took a fleet of three ships to the capital, but they only got to Huai'an, and half of the goods were already deducted, and in Huai'an, the checkpoint is required Most of the rest of the remaining half is said to be calculated based on the amount of goods on his road guide. As for the fact that he does not have that much goods, then he must be investigated for a crime of false reporting. Confiscated as a fine.

The businessman was so angry that he vomited blood, so he didn't want anything at all, and returned to Hangzhou from Huai'an overnight, and then publicized it.

In the next half month, two more unbelieving businessmen vomited blood and returned. Now, no one in Hangzhou dared to sell goods in the capital.

And I heard that it is even worse in Yangzhou, the merchants there don't even leave the city gate, they want things, right?Come and get it yourself.

It's just that the capital is so big, and there are a lot of stocks in the store. If the goods are not available in a short period of time, the impact will not be apparent so quickly. Now that the price is starting to increase, Liu Qi must have followed Che Ling to do some tricks.

That's right, half of the spice shops in the capital are owned by Liu Qi. If the price is raised all of a sudden, and only his shop sells it, it's too eye-catching. Why don't we find a way to unite everyone to sell less, and push the price up little by little.

Boiled frogs in warm water!
"So, Third Master, why don't we go back to Beijing to watch the excitement." Su Yue thought for a while, and said to Xie Jue with a smile.

The soaring price of food in the capital hurts ordinary people, and the soaring price of silk, spices and treasures is the biggest loss for those officials.

This kind of good show is more effective when watched live.

Moreover, at such a time, the situation in the capital is changing rapidly. Xie Jue's judgment in the capital is much more accurate than when this information came three or four days later.

Xie Jue shot her a sideways look and said, "No, I still have something to do."

He knew Su Yue's thoughts and worries. Indeed, if he knew about it one day later at this time, things would change. For example, he knew that nothing happened at the wedding, but maybe the accident happened on the second day. He doesn't know.

But before he figured out Kang Wang and Cai Bing's hole cards, he couldn't let Su Yue enter that dangerous place.

What's more, he does have work to do in Hangzhou.

Not to mention the promotion of Champa rice, not to mention the adjustment of Qiongzhou products and the three ports in Beishang, the matter of the tea farm is also at a critical juncture.

That was the autumn drama he had prepared for Cai Bing.

Even so, Xie Jue and Su Yue returned to Beijing before halfway through July.

Because, the battle report from the north has arrived.
