The taxes are heavy, but in fact, there is no way around it.
If King Yan wants to hold on to this three-acre land, he needs money no matter what. However, in today's world, the Southern Territory can be said to be the richest, but also the most barren.
The good thing is that the terrain of the Southern Territory is complex and the mountains are stacked, which also blocks many interested people from the outside world. The second is the climate, which is very suitable for food growth.
But there are also many bad places.
The people in Jing and Xiang in the early years also created the differences between the north and the south.
Taizu was originally from Xiang, and the focus of the country was also in the northern region. He originally wanted to balance the north and the south, but later the rebellion in the southern region completely cut off the road. Later, he did not go too far in revitalizing and educating the southern region. thought.
Talent is missing!
Looking around, there is hardly anyone available.
In this Southern Territory, the mountains are stacked, and the road blocked is too long. This has also led to the scarcity of merchants. Although they have granaries, they cannot develop an economy.
At least, for the current King Yan, there is no way.
When military supplies were about to sink to the bottom, they had no choice but to raise taxes, leaving all of this on the people.
This is also a case of emergency medical treatment.
Before King Yan can find another way, this tax will continue to be heavy.
Chen Changsheng said: "This land in the Southern Territory has suffered some hardships."
Yunxiang paused, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart. She sighed softly and said: "The great age has come, and the five parties are enemies. Such a troubled world is difficult for us to change. Even with the magic of immortality, we cannot change it. "
It's not because of the cause and effect and suffering that they have to endure, but because they simply can't do it. The monks follow the will of heaven. These princes accept the will of heaven. If the monks are involved, every word and deed will fall in the eyes of the sky. , maybe it’s over before it even begins.
But there are exceptions.
Chen Changsheng said: "Chen has met someone..."
Yunxiang paused and asked, "Has anyone done it before?"
Chen Changsheng thought for a while and then talked about King Yu.
Yunxiang was shocked after hearing this. She also wanted to sigh in admiration for what King Yu had done, but when she thought about it, she felt something was wrong.
She looked at her husband and asked, "Do you think that what King Yu did must have been concealed from God's will?"
Chen Changsheng was stunned when he heard this.
He couldn't help but look at Yunxiang, and his expression became a little dazed for a moment.
Yunxiang paused, showed a slight smile, and said, "Yunxiang just mentioned it casually."
Chen Changsheng came to his senses, but shook his head and said, "Chen thinks what you said makes sense."
He always thought that Mr. Zhulan's fake death to escape the eyes of heaven was the fundamental reason why this happened. But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that the details were still a lot different.
Maybe, just maybe...
God already knew about this, but he never stopped it.
But now, it can only be reduced to a sigh.
No matter what the truth is, nothing will change if you mention it again in the past.
Yunxiang said: "It's getting late. Sir, please rest early. By the way, tomorrow Yunxiang is going to the Yanwang Mansion. Sir, do you want to go with him?"
"Prince Yan's Mansion?"
"Well, the trade route to Yandi has been opened for a long time. Now that we are here, let's be a guest."
"Because of the group from before."
"That's not entirely true. I just wanted to see what happened on this business road over the years. Brother Tang often mentioned the obstruction of Yandi Trading Company in his letters. Taking this opportunity, I thought about checking the account books and taking a look. What’s the problem with Yandi’s business?”
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "Then let's go together tomorrow."
Night falls.
The oil lamp was extinguished in the room on the second floor of the inn.
Chen Changsheng was lying on the bed, and Li Hua was sleeping next to the pillow.
It has learned some bad habits. A cat wants to lie down and sleep like a human, with its arms and legs spread out. It looks very funny.
Asked why it was like this, it just answered stupidly: Don't all people sleep like this?
The cat didn't understand anything and didn't think anything was wrong.
………
Prince Yan's Mansion is not far from here.
Prince Yan had to give Tang's Trading Company face.
After learning the news, he ordered people to invite them into the house.
"Miss Yun's arrival will really make this prince's palace shine."
Meet King Yan for the first time.
King Yan looked thin, with a bit of sternness in his eyes. His eyebrows were as thin as willows, as if they had been specially painted. There was also makeup on his face, which looked very awkward. Moreover, when he got closer, he smelled The smell makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
Yunxiang said: "The prince is serious, Yunxiang is just a businessman, and he is not yet in the prince's eyes."
Chen Changsheng looked at the Yan King and was stunned.
He could tell at a glance.
This King Yan doesn't like women.
Looking at the appearance and face again, I understood a little bit.
"Who is this……"
King Yan looked at Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng cupped his hands and said, "Chen is the groom accompanying us."
"Is that so?" King Yan smiled, but didn't ask too much. He probably guessed that Chen Changsheng's identity was unusual, but he didn't want to mention it, and he wouldn't ask too much.
Yunxiang chatted with King Yan for a while, and then asked about the business.
"The company had a lot of cooperation with the prince before, but over the years, there have been many discrepancies in the accounts. Perhaps the shopkeeper under him became greedy. This time Yunxiang wanted to see the account books of King Yan. Although it was a bit presumptuous, she had no choice. Act of."
After hearing this, King Yan understood and said with a smile: "So it's for this reason. It doesn't matter. It's a trivial matter. I'll order someone to get the accounts."
After saying that, King Yan ordered people to go down and get it.
Not long after, another butler came forward.
"Your Majesty, there is something..."
"What's wrong?"
King Yan asked, and the steward covered his mouth with his hand and whispered.
Then King Yan stood up and apologized to Chen Changsheng and Yunxiang: "Excuse me."
He followed the butler outside.
As soon as he came out of the entrance, King Yan's expression darkened.
"I will say that this woman is here with bad intentions!"
King Yan snorted coldly.
He was very clear about the problems in the accounts, and the lack of money in them naturally fell into his pocket.
However, now he doesn't really want to return the money, and he also wants to retain his business skills and at the same time put the money in his pocket openly.
"Longfu, where are the accounts you prepared before?" King Yan asked.
Fortunately, he had saved a hand before.
The butler took out an account from his arms and said, "The prince has reviewed it."
"Will there be any problem?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, these accounts are done by experts, and there will never be any problems."
