I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

The anger that Luo Qianhuai had been building up just now was all over his head now.

"A virtuous couple is truly a match made in heaven." There was a chill in her eyebrows and the corners of her eyes, and her voice was as cold as ice springs in the valley: "The three views are consistent, the way of thinking is similar, and even the brain circuits are inseparable."

"Since there is such a deep love between husband and wife, wouldn't it be nice for you two to stay together and live and die together? Why do you want to drag your little girl into it?"

Huo Yu listened for a long time but didn't understand what she meant. What three views, what brain circuits? They are all Chinese characters, but why are they so difficult to understand when combined?

Luo Qianhuai held it in for a long time and finally got a chance to speak. Naturally, he wouldn't just say these few words.

"Since you and your wife both have serious ear problems, I can only say it a few more times: There are ancestral teachings in my daughter's family, and women will never be concubines. I am not willing to enter your Huo family. Do you understand? ?”

Huo Yu looked at her and nodded slowly: "So, you chose to be my aunt?"

"I don't even want to be a concubine, so how could I be an unidentified concubine?" Luo Qianhuai just felt tired: "I promised you before that as long as you resolve the case for my uncle, you will be satisfied. It’s just this way, but it’s not the only way to promise each other with your body.”

Huo Yu frowned, his eyes became frosty, and his voice was low: "What if I say, I only accept this method?"

He stood up and walked to Luo Qianhuai. The sleeves of the green brocade robe embroidered with owl patterns slipped from her eyes, and he held up her chin with his right hand.

"Mrs. Luo, I have said not to challenge my patience. Moreover." He looked directly into Luo Qianhuai's clear black eyes and said softly: "If I force you here today, , and no one would dare to say one more word."

"My lord will not do that." Luo Qianhuai already regretted his rash visit.

She had always been interested in playing games with the world, and did not completely involve herself in the Great Yu Dynasty. She did not know enough about the indigenous dignitaries here, so she did not take Huo Yu too seriously. She did not expect that retribution would come soon. .

Probably in feudal society, in the eyes of princes, nobles and high-ranking officials, not only was it not a big deal to rob a civilian girl, it was considered an honor for them.

Without being influenced by the core socialist values ​​and not understanding the profound connotation of the Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces, Luo Qianhuai simply could not communicate with them.

Luo Qianhuai was forced to raise his head, feeling a little uncomfortable: "Don't forget, my little girl is very skilled. If she is forced to resist, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist."

"Haha." The corners of Huo Yu's lips curled up slightly, and there was a strong teasing look in his eyes: "Harming the imperial officials is the same as treason. All your relatives, as well as the siblings you took in, even helped you I'm afraid that Mr. Jieyou will be implicated. Madam Luo, it's better to think twice before acting."

Luo Qianhuai was furious. Seeing Huo Yu's face getting closer and closer, he seemed to want to kiss Fangze, so he couldn't help but become anxious: "Sir, let go of your hands. I came here today because I was actually treated by Madam Zhu from Mingyue Tower. Please, I would like to discuss with you the wine tribute."

Huo Yu's eyes changed from dark to clear. He let go of his hand: "I don't know when Madam Luo and Madam Zhu became friends."

Luo Qianhuai breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, for workaholics, love and love are just embellishments, while performance and promotion are true love.

From this point of view, what she thought before was right. As long as she can provide enough merit points, Huo Yu may not be obsessed with getting her.

After all, beauties are always new, and opportunities for meritorious service and promotion may not be common.

For this kind of thing, Luo Qianhuai had to think over and over again before making a plan. After getting the geographical map of Yushan mountains and rivers, he was full of confidence.

His Majesty the Emperor was keen on military affairs. During his reign, he had launched more than a dozen wars involving more than 200,000 troops. The Xiongnu retreated to Monan Mongolia, and all the countries in the Western Regions surrendered.

Along the way, all the wealth accumulated by the previous two emperors was lost.

That's why he tried every means to enrich the national treasury, re-employed the great farmer Lou Zhiping, implemented the salt and iron monopoly strategy, and specially issued a decree of atonement with money. In addition to the serious crime of treason, even the death penalty can be paid for with money.

At this time, if someone explores a brand new gold, silver, copper and iron mine and offers it to his old man, he will definitely become the new favorite of the court, and he will be promoted to a higher position.

It's just that these things must be done step by step and must not be rushed. At this time, it is better to solve the unenviable matter.

Her solution is still based on the above ideas, and she is right to go straight to the topic of money.

"My daughter and Zhu Niang had no friendship at all. They were just favored by the adults, and Zhu Niang thought that the adults treated my daughter differently. This time she had no way to appeal, so she found my daughter to talk to her."

Huo Yu sneered: "She is quite smart. It's just that, Madam Luo, you asked me to intercede for someone before you even entered my house. Aren't you afraid that I will do you evil?"

"If my lord is really angry, just expel my daughter out now." Luo Qianhuai saw his attitude clearly and was not really angry.

"Well, since you are willing to come to me to ask for help, I should at least listen to you. Tell me, what price does Madam Zhu want to offer?"

"Sir." Luo Qianhuai asked: "Is it really your intention to include Bu Xianxian from Mingyue Tower in the annual tribute?"

Huo Yu felt a little embarrassed when he thought of the tricks Yu Qiuzhi and Lu Jiancheng were playing under his nose. It's just that in his eyes, this matter is just a trivial matter, and he doesn't want to pay attention to it. Even when Luo Qianhuai mentioned it at this moment, he didn't really want to change anything.

Yu Qiuzhi is the Changling Yi Cheng and his deputy during his tenure. Even if he is a little cautious, he will not refute his face.

"It doesn't matter whether it's my official's intention or not." He deliberately reminded Luo Qianhuai: "A few days ago, someone in the court reported that wine making was a waste of grain, and businessmen pursued profit regardless of the consequences. If they just sit back and ignore it, it will shake the country. Ben. Therefore, I have already approved this tribute."

Luo Qianhuai was not surprised. This statement has been made in previous lives, and it is not completely unreasonable. It just ignores the basic principles of market economy.

The launch of high-strength wine has a clear market positioning, and is only targeted at the small group of powerful people at the top of society who have too much money to spend.

Things are rare and valuable, and it is impossible to produce them in large quantities without envy, which will only lower the value. To put it bluntly, even if everyone knows the recipe for high-strength wine, and all those who can afford it will buy grain and make wine, and the country will suddenly be flooded with wine, it will only cause a temporary shortage of food.

The release of a large number of high-quality wines will inevitably bring about a sharp drop in prices. In order to recover costs, wine merchants will inevitably compete to reduce prices in order to gain sales. Therefore, when the price is lower than cost, a large number of wine merchants will go bankrupt and withdraw from the market. In the end, the remaining wine merchants will produce on demand.

Luo Qianhuai had no intention of popularizing market economics to Huo Yu. She directly applied the effective methods from her previous life.

"That's it." She said: "Just listing it as tribute is not the best solution, and it will not bring a penny of benefit to the country."

"Madam Zhu has a plan that will not blind the merchants in making wine, but also allow the country to benefit from the wine. Would you like to hear it?"
