Blade of Wind

Obviously I reminded him and myself from the beginning, why is it still like this?

Sure enough, it is self-inflicted.

I lay down on the table and sighed heavily.

After a while, Yishan personally brought me some fruits and herbal tea that is said to be able to sober up.

While drinking tea, I chatted with him a few words.

Yi Shan looked at me for a while, then said softly: "My lord looks much lighter than last time we met, is there anything bothering you?"

There are more than one or two things to worry about.

I smiled and said nothing, Yishan lowered his voice again, and said, "Is it for the flood of the Weihe River, or for the resettlement of refugees?"

He asked this directly, and I simply replied directly, "After all, I'm still worrying about money."

Yi Shan pondered for a while, then said softly: "If it's for money, I can help you find a solution."

"Oh?" I raised my eyes and looked at him. "Mr. Yishan, can you donate some food and money?"

Yi Shan gently stroked his beard, smiled, and said: "If you only rely on the next person, you may lose your family and property, and you won't be able to save a few people. What's more, donating one or two is one or two. If the country's situation can improve immediately , it’s easy to say, but if there is no improvement in the past few years, how long can this one or two be used?”

That's right.

I sighed and leaned back on the table.

Yi Shan smiled again, and said: "However, I have an idea, I wonder if Mr. Luo Yan is interested in hearing it?"

"Yes." I replied, "Please tell me, sir."

He said slowly: "Although the situation in many places is not good right now, spring planting has already started in most areas like Wuzhou, Rongzhou and Duanzhou. I can unite with some businessmen and buy these newly sprouted crops at a high price. Next. In this way, the farmers will work harder, and they can also pay this year's tax first, which should temporarily alleviate the crisis of the national treasury, right?"

Sounds like it might be good.

But... I smiled and said, "The price of rice and noodles in the market is rising now. If merchants are asked to pay a high price to buy young crops, it must be a loss-making business. It is impossible for them to even make this calculation? It is not beneficial How would they do it? Or is there another condition in Mr. Yishan's mind?"

Yi Shan also smiled, and said, "I'm a businessman, so naturally I wouldn't do anything that doesn't benefit me at all. And the purchase of young crops, without the guarantee from the government, the farmers must not believe it."

I frowned and said, "Then what does Mr. Yishan want?"

When I asked this question, Yi Shan didn't go around in circles any more, and said directly: "I hope that the next year's transaction tax can be reduced as compensation. As for the purchase of young crops, the price and the share of tax reduction, if Mr. Luo Yan is interested, we can Negotiate slowly."

It sounds like this method is actually an advance payment of next year's taxes, maybe it's the same as swiping a credit card?

I hesitated, and said again: "But the reduction of transaction tax will only be profitable if you have more business to do next year, right? If it will be a problem to eat like this next year, the market will certainly be the same Then it will collapse, so you will still lose money?"

Yi Shan laughed, and said: "Business is full of risks, how can you know if you won't win or lose if you don't take a gamble? What's more, I naturally have confidence in Mr. Luo Yan to bring up this idea with you."

I couldn't help laughing, a little helpless, and said: "That's really a good word from Mr. Cheng Yishan. Please allow me to go back and think about it before I give you an answer?"

Yi Shan nodded, and then said, "Then I won't disturb the young master's rest." Then he left.

After taking a shower, I didn't feel sleepy, so I simply sat on the windowsill and watched the stars.

The night sky is not clear, the crescent moon is looming among the clouds, and the stars also appear hazy and far away, far less clear and bright than those seen in the Falcon Palace.I think, maybe there is a sea of ​​clouds between here and Falcon Palace.

And the brightest star I've ever seen...

Was it Fraser, or Heinesen?

Or, is it actually in that person's blue eyes on the left and black on the right?

"Lord."

Xiu Huang's voice came along with the knock on the door.

"Come in." I didn't look back, and agreed in a casual way.

It didn't take long before I heard a soft sigh, and then Xiuhuang came over, put a coat on me, and said softly: "Please take care of your body for Fangguo, Lord."

I smiled, pulled up my clothes obediently, and thanked him.

Xiu Huang took a dry cloth on the side and wiped my hair, said: "Master's hair is not dry, it's better not to sit by the window to blow dry."

"Oh." I replied again, jumped off the window sill, took the cloth from his hand and wiped my hair, walked back to the table and sat down, "I'll do it myself."

Instead, he froze for a moment, frowned slightly, followed, and whispered, "Why are you so obedient all of a sudden?"

I laughed, turned to look at him, and said: "You come to persuade me, don't you want me to be obedient, do you still want me to jump up and quarrel with you?"

He looked at me for a while, sighed again, and said softly: "...I'm afraid I'm not even qualified to quarrel with the Lord?"

"It's fine, why are you arguing?" I waved my hand and said, "What do you want me to do, Xiu Huang?"

Xiu Huang took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and said: "The prices my lord asked at the market today, I'm afraid I might forget some of them tomorrow, so I wrote it down first, please have a look at it, my lord."

I took it over and took a look.

Xiuhuang's handwriting is very beautiful, and his memory is obviously much better than mine. I asked all the way, and I only remembered the price of a few rice flour cloths, but he clearly understood the ranks regardless of whether he was high or low.

"Thank you." I nodded while looking at it, and said, "What else?"

"Anything else?" Xiu Huang frowned, and leaned over to look at the paper in my hand, "The ones that the Lord asked today are all here, right?"

"No, I mean..." I raised my head while talking, and then I realized that this action made me face his face directly, and I couldn't help being startled.

Xiu Huang was also taken aback, then blushed slightly and took a step back.

I smiled and coughed lightly before continuing: "I mean, you came to see me tonight, do you have other things?"

Xiu Huang didn't speak.

I shook the paper in my hand and said, "After you write these down, there will be opportunities for me. There's no need to rush tonight, right? We've been together for so long, so we don't need to make excuses to go around in circles. Just speak up if you have anything to say." .”

Only then did Xiu Huang lightly smile and said, "I want to know what my father and the lord talked about."
