Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 202

Talk about The Terms with Yue Wang .

Steward Qin, who had been waiting outside the entire time, came in with a plate of cold snacks . Seeing that Yue Wang was in a trance, he could not help but guess what had just happened . “Wang Ye, why has Miss Mu left? I’ve even prepared some snacks here!”

When Yue Wang came back to his senses, he couldn’t help but smile . Although it wasn’t obvious, Steward Qin, who knew him well, could tell at a glance .

“Uncle Qin, go find someone to notify Jin Lan and ask her to bring a thin cloak over . It’s still rather cold out in the garden . ”

Steward Qin quickly agreed, “Yes, this old servant will go now . ”

In the next few days, Mu Yunyao deliberately avoided Yue Wang, and she taught Ming Yin at the Su’s residence .

Ming Yin had been very focused on her studies, and in just a few short days, she had been able to achieve great results .

“Ming Yin, I’ve taught you everything you need to know, and the rest is up to you .

Ming Yin promptly nodded her head and bowed respectfully towards Mu Yunyao . “Thank you very much, Young Miss” If it wasn’t for Mu Yunyao, it was unknown when she would’ve been able to obtain this opportunity .

“Don’t be too polite . Remember what you’ve said before . When you really see Li Yuanyi, you must restrain yourself and never reveal anything . Also, you don’t use the medicine powder that I’ve given to you carelessly . You don’t let it out until I’ve told you so . Do you remember?”

“Yes . Young Miss, please be at ease . I will definitely not lose weight because of such a small matter . ” After learning the art of assassination, she had wanted to infiltrate the Governor’s residence countless times to assassinate Li Yuanyi, but in the end, she resisted it . She would not be so quick, but she would make those black-hearted people pay the price .

Seeing her expression, Mu Yunyao relaxed, “Well, go back and get some rest . ”

After Ming Yin left, Liu Liang brought back Qi Ming’s news . “Mistress, the news has been confirmed . The salt merchants are indeed colluding with the government to use the name of purchasing salt to pay the salt tax deficit . ”

Mu Yunyao’s fingertips trembled as a smile flashed across her eyes . “Qi Ming has worked hard . When he returns, you’ll definitely reward him well . ”

“This is what he should do . ”

Mu Yunyao thought carefully for a moment before she picked up the letter and headed to Jin Xiu Garden next door .

Mu Yunyao had not seen Yue Wang for more than ten days since she had lost her composure . Now that she was outside the study, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart when she heard him call her in: “Greetings, Fourth Master . ”

Yue Wang looked at Mu Yunyao, his eyes bright and indifferent, without a trace of abnormality . “You haven’t gone to the greenhouse these few days, the flowers inside have all blossomed, and now they’re particularly beautiful . ”

“The weather getting warmed up on this day, and the flowers outside are already blooming, let alone the flowers in the greenhouse . The flowers are blooming freely outside . ”

“From the looks of it, you seem to be very happy . Is there any news from Yangzhou City?”

“The letter from Qi Ming can confirm our previous guess was correct . The salt merchant indeed wanted to use the method of purchasing salt to fill the deficit!”

Yue Wang looked up and said, “These people are truly audacious . ”

“Although the Imperial Court forbade the sale of private salt, in fact, in Jiangnan, there is 30% of salt sold as official salt . The rest of the 70% privately sold by these salt merchants . Even the government has repeatedly banned such a matter . The Emperor certainly knows that, but there is no means to investigate and deal with it . ”

“That’s good as well . If these salt merchants abide by the law, we really won’t have the chance to interfere . ” Yue Wang carefully thought about it and quickly thought about his plan . After that, he tried to find loopholes, and after a while, he said, “I will immediately get people to watch them, as long as they dare to do something in the transportation, I will have a way to snatch out the real salt . ”

Mu Yunyao’s heart moved, and Yue Wang said with great confidence . From this, she could see that his foundation in Jiangnan was definitely not shallow, and it was hard to know how long he had been secretly setting it up . “Fourth Master, I’ve heard from Qi Ming that this time, he used around 6 million taels of silver to buy salt, and this is only the price of purchasing a large number of salt . If you sell this batch of salt, the amount of silver involved will be about tens of millions of taels of silver . Since the salt merchants dared to do so, they naturally have something to rely on it . You must be extra careful and not make any mistakes . ”

“Don’t worry . I’ll personally keep an eye on him . Nothing will happen to him . ”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes moved as the corner of her mouth lifted into a smile . “Then, have Fourth Master thought about how to split the silver?”

Yue Wang glanced at her with a faint smile, “Going to find out about the news is a credit . You teach Ming Yin . If she successfully approaches Li Yuanyi and helps with salt tax verification, it would also be considered a contribution . Because the most important thing is my main contribution, I can give you ten percent of it .

“Fourth Master is too stingy, but you’re right, I didn’t contribute too much, so I won’t take even a single cent of the silver after I sell this batch of salt . ” Mu Yunyao said with a smile .

Yue Wang’s heart skipped a beat slightly . It was not her usual style of doing things . “Even if it is 10%, it would still be worth millions of taels of silver . Don’t you feel sorry for it?”

“I don’t want the silver taels from the salt, but if I can find a way to get them elsewhere, you’ll give them all to me . What do you say?”

Yue Wang quickly thought about it . Apart from the fact that this batch of salt could use to acquire much silver, where else could he get silver? Mu Yunyao didn’t give him any time to think about this matter, “Fourth Master, earning silver depends on one’s ability . If your man has the ability to snatch the salt, then the silver that he sells will naturally belong to you . If I have a way to get silver from other places, then this silver will naturally belong to me . In this way, it is fair and impartial . Do you want to haggle over some small profits with me?”

Yue Wang couldn’t help but laugh: “Alright . I promise you . ”

Mu Yunyao’s heart is full of joy . She quickly walked to the side of the table, grabbed a brush and paper, and made a written agreement . “Words have no basis . Let’s write it as proof!”

After signing the contract, Mu Yunyao carefully put it away, and then she felt at ease: “I won’t disturb Fourth Master any longer, I’ll be taking my leave . ” Yue Wang looked at her back, with a smile on the corner of his lips . The last time, Mu Yunyao was leaving the study in a hurry . She looked as calm as ever, but in reality, her heart was already in a mess . Otherwise, with her personality, she would have left appropriately after saluting as usual, instead of forgetting the salute before . It seems that she is not entirely unmoved .

Thinking of this conclusion, Yue Wang felt satisfied, as if he had done something huge .

When she returned home, Mu Yunyao immediately called out Li Liang over, “Liu Liang . Go and inform Qi Ming that Jingling City is ready, and the shop set on the other side of Ni Yun Fang . Tell him to prepare to open another Yibaoxuan as soon as possible . ”

“Yes, Mistress . ” Mu Yunyao leaned on the soft couch, and her smile deepened . In order not to make any mistakes, the salt merchants must make impartial inspections when buying salt in the salt mining area . That is to say that they will load the salt on the ship with enough weight . Therefore, as long as Yue Wang’s people can keep an eye on it, they will have a chance to snatch the salt . She did not have many people under her that she could use, so from the beginning, she did not have any plans for this batch of salt . Instead, she took a different approach, starting from the salt merchants themselves . But don’t worry, everything has to wait for Li Yuanyi to come .
