Yang Gan took Zhou Zhiyu with him inside the carriage, and asked the magic brake stone to call Ran Jing over.
"What do you want from me, Your Majesty?"
Yang Qian opened his mouth, feeling like the embarrassment in his body was about to come out.
"Ran Jing, you are my most loyal subordinate. I don't want to lie to you. Last night, I was clearly holding Wan'er, but this morning I woke up and found that it was Zhou Zhiyu."
"You also know that my body is inhumane right now. In order not to cause misunderstanding, I'd better tell you this. I don't have any inappropriate thoughts about Zhou Zhiyu."
Ran Jing looked at Zhou Zhiyu without any expression.
Zhou Zhiyu's heart thumped and he immediately explained.
"Ran Jing, it was a bit cold last night. I didn't have a blanket, and it was dark at night, so I just found a warm place to sleep. Who knew it was Yang Qian's place."
The corners of Yang Gan's mouth twitched fiercely, Nima, even I don't believe this explanation.
Seeing Ran Jing's expression as usual, Yang Qian swallowed. To be honest, others didn't know it, but he would never get involved with the women under his command.
When I read history in the past, some people in power liked to play with the women under their command. This made people feel disgusting. Others worked hard for you, but they were all hurting you.
Why do you have to stand between brothers for a woman you don't like? It's not worth it, okay?
Ran Jing looked at the two of them calmly, nodded, and said, "I understand."
Yang Gan shrugged, spread his hands and said, "Don't you have anything else to say?"
"Um, what should I say?"
"Here~~ you shouldn't scold me, or be disappointed in me or anything like that."
Ran Jing smiled and said, "Your Majesty will never lie to me, and you will never treat me badly."
"I believe what you two say, Junshang and Zhiyu. Otherwise, as long as we hide it, no one will know. Why would you come to explain to me so early in the morning?"
Yang Gan scratched his head.
"Damn it, what you said makes sense. I really can't refute it, but I always feel like this brain circuit is weird."
After feeling that there was no problem, Yang Qian could only attribute this situation to the peculiarities of this era or Ran Jing's quirks.
"Actually, I don't think it's appropriate for Zhou Zhiyu to wear a bikini. How about you two find a place to have some fun and get in the water?"
Ran Jing stood up in a hurry and said, "Your Majesty, just take good care of Zhiyu for me. I trust you."
"As for me, my subordinates must do 100% in your protection work."
Yang Qian looked at Ran Jing speechlessly, brother, this is inappropriate. If he were in modern times, he wouldn't say anything.
At the beach, either wearing a bikini or wearing something cool, almost always in a vacuum.
But we also have to consider the social environment. Even if etiquette and music are broken now and the issue of men and women is not conservative, it is not open to this extent.
Concubines are commodities, but wives have legal effects and have their own rights.
If his wife lets him see everything, isn't that...
Yang Gan shook his head suddenly. Ran Jing should not be this kind of person, but this quirk is quite surprising.
Thinking of this, Yang Qian couldn't help but shudder. In this era, masculinity is prevalent. Although he has never seen it with his own eyes, he has heard a lot about it.
Could it be that Ran Jing likes this tone?
Judging from his handsome features, he is worthy of being a cliffhanger.
Yang Gan shook his head suddenly, throwing his thoughts out of his head.
It's scary to think about it carefully, but don't think too much, otherwise you might not be able to eat the morning meal.
"Ran Jing, I don't need to say more about our relationship. Zhou Zhiyu will just play with us first. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, say it. Don't hold it back. Failure to communicate will cause misunderstandings."
"I don't like my confidants to be estranged from me, and I don't want to be used by someone with ulterior motives to create a estrangement from me."
In the end, Yang Qian was still a little worried and warned.
Ran Jing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, let me go."
In his heart, Mojiang did not have any dissatisfaction. It was rare for Zhiyu to come to the beach. If Mojiang could not play in the water and enjoy it because of Mojiang, Mojiang would also feel uneasy. "
"By the way, Your Majesty, I just received a call from Fu Yan. He wants to ask for instructions on purchasing grain and grass from Shangguo. Please take a look."
Yang Qian nodded. With the four documents, he just asked them to monitor them closely. If the enemy does not move, I will not move. It is nothing more than early preparation.
The information about Shangguo's purchase of grain and grass surprised me.
Zhang Yumeng walked in and said with a smile, "Yang Gan, Krisna asked you to go exercise."
Yang Qian had a look of despair, "I just woke up and I have to deal with official documents, so let her wait."
"What official document? Let Xiao Yu handle it for you."
Yang Gan smiled and said, "She can do other documents, but not this one."
"Oh? What is it about?"
"You want to learn? Why do you want to look like Wu Zetian after I burp my fart?"
"Fuck Wu Zetian, I asked you kindly, is this your kind of virtue? Don't forget, I also have reference for many official documents."
Seeing Zhang Yumeng's expression drop, Yang Qian immediately comforted him.
"It's not about Uncle Wang Shu's official document, Shang Guo wants to purchase grain and grass."
"Didn't you say that Shang Guo will come to fight us? Why don't you even think about it? Starve them to death."
Yang Qian smiled and said, "That's not what they say. It's better to teach others to take advantage of others than to take advantage of others."
"They are purchasing grain and grass from Uncle Wang Shu, so they must not know his identity. In this way, they are in the open and we are in the dark, and many things can be buried in the dark."
Zhang Yumeng suddenly realized, "Are you trying to dig a hole for others?"
Yang Qian spread his hands and said with an innocent face, "Oh, I didn't want to dig this up. Someone handed me the handle. If I don't use it, I would be sorry."
Zhang Yumeng shook his head and said, "No, our grain and grass don't seem to be enough to support the grain trade."
"If you don't build the Grand Canal, you will have a lot of surplus food. Who asked you to throw away so much money at once? Who knows when you will no longer be able to make money, and our whole family will have to drink the northwest wind."
Yang Gan laughed, his big white teeth shining brightly.
"You have never been a householder. Don't you know how much money our family has?"
"This~~~!"
Zhang Yumeng hesitated for a moment and shook her lips, "Isn't this what Xiao Yu has been presiding over? She is very shrewd in calculating accounts, and she will definitely not be wrong."
"You will be the mistress of the house in the future, and you will be responsible for all these things. You can't even calculate the accounts clearly. How can this be done?"
Ran Jing and Zhou Zhiyu covered their mouths and chuckled. Zhang Yumeng was like a hands-off shopkeeper who didn't care at all how much power he had, as long as he liked it.
"Why are you two laughing? I'm not interested in being a mistress anyway, why should I give back to my mistress? It's so ugly."
Yang Qian counted on his fingers and said, "Our family has a total of 500,000 acres of fertile land. The rent plus tax is 30%, but in fact it only charges two and a half levels, and the remaining half is national tax."
"That is to say, in the first quarter, you can get 450,000 stone for staple food, and 900,000 stone for supplementary food."
"This is only the first quarter. In other words, our family's annual rent is 2.7 million dan."
"One seven makes seven, two seven forty-eight, Women's Day on March 8th, Labor Day on May 1st..."
"You idiot, do you think so?"
Zhang Yumeng smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't know. My phone is at Wan'er's place and I don't have a calculator. How can I calculate this?"
"You don't need to do the math, the data is all recorded."
Yang Qian opened his eyes and smiled and said, "In other words, if the grain my family receives every year is converted into money, it can be worth 324 million yuan."
"Of course, if all the food is sold, the price of food will inevitably drop. If it is sold outside, some will be consumed. In fact, it may only be about 300 million."
Zhang Yumeng's eyes instantly turned into two golden coins: "Wow, our family's annual income is over 100 million."
"Tsk, this is not a Douyin person.
Even if the average income is over one million, it’s nothing special. "
Then she curled her lips again. As a popular TV drama queen, she can still earn tens of millions from a drama, so she doesn't take 300 million too seriously.
It was just a bit of a shock when I first started using billions as the unit. Looking back, I didn’t think it was a big deal.
Yang Gan smiled and said, "Have you forgotten that the king has agreed to exempt me from taxes for five years?"
"How much can that be? Don't forget, you still have so many slaves to feed."
Yang Gan shook his head and sneered, his face full of pride.
"I only have 500,000 acres of fertile land, but there are more than 10 million acres of fertile land in Yuntong."
"For public farmland, taxes plus rent are worth five million dan per quarter. If it is a year, that is tens of millions of dan in food."
"And in Qianshou, the people's own fertile land can produce at least 20 million dan of grain a year, which is more than enough to pay for the Grand Canal."
"And I still have the grain from previous years in reserve. If I need to use it, it will be old grain. I have to clear out the inventory first. Therefore, we will not be short of grain."
Zhang Yumeng could no longer imagine the size of two thousand stones of grain, and had no such concept at all.
"You mean that at least more than 10 million stones of grain and grass are shipped to the court and paid taxes every year?"
Yang Qian rolled his eyes and said, "Ang! Otherwise."
"Oh, you prodigal son, your Majesty didn't ask you not to pay taxes, why did you insist on doing it?"
Yang Qian was speechless for a moment, "Your Majesty said that as long as I have enough money, paying taxes represents my attitude. Otherwise, why would your Majesty trust me?"
"Furthermore, not paying taxes for a long period of time will make the king suspicious. If a female official is around and says that I want to rebel every day, what do you think the king will do?"
After Yang Qian finished speaking, Zhang Yumeng suddenly realized that this was to pay a protection fee and pay for peace of mind.
"Damn it, you guys are so deep in your game. If the king asks me not to pay taxes, I will definitely not pay them."
"Tch, with your political thinking, I'm afraid you won't survive two episodes."
"Then how much grain and grass do you plan to sell to Shang Guo?"
Yang Qian calculated carefully and couldn't help but feel relieved.
"It's hard to say. I have a lot of inventory now. It depends on how much they want."
"In the army, people eat horses' chews. An army of 10,000 people needs at least 100,000 stones of food and grass for a month. If we transport it, there will inevitably be losses in the process."
