1230, trade-offs

- Wang Chi didn't want to make things bigger, he just came to Ruan Luo to say a few things, and the reason why he came here was just to have a more accurate look at Ruan Luo's living conditions in recent days. He didn't want to provoke the people of Kyoto Prefecture to escort him later, because he believed that he had worked hard to govern Kyoto for more than ten years, and now he could live in peace and security for ordinary people, so he walked outside the palace as a civilian, even if he didn't bring a single guard, it was no problem.

When three people come, three people will return, and things can be done quickly.

At a glance, he saw that the two young bodyguards were about to kneel, Wang Chi flicked his sleeves, and the two people were stuck with the crossarms of the two imperial guards, and then the four of them heard a voice coming: "I'm just a scholar, I have a question I want to ask." ”

Literate people in the world can call themselves readers.

And the "scholar" in front of him wants to ask the head of the family for advice, what the question is, it is self-evident, in short, it is not something that others can listen to or approach.

The two bodyguards were stunned again, and then bowed deeply, but did not say a word.

They don't know how to speak, they don't know what to call this person appropriately. The identity of the middle-aged man in front of them had been revealed, so it was of course the most appropriate for them to shout Majesty, but at the same time, Majesty XiΓ  gave a reminder not to be silent, so they felt a little uneasy that perhaps silence was the most appropriate "dialogue" at this time.

The bookstore is full of book buyers, and most of the customers are immersed in the mental activity of selecting books and previewing the contents of the books, and no one who is a sincere book buyer likes to look around. Even one or two people noticed that there were a lot of people gathered in the corner of the bookstore, and it was strange to see that they didn't have any books in their hands. Something seemed to have happened, but most of the readers were a little tired. At most, I can take a few more glances and see that there is no progress or change in the situation. Those few people have also dispersed, so no one is too lazy to continue to pay attention.

The moment the four of them fought just now, they just used one move, they started violently but closed quickly, and the winner was decided, and no one in the bookstore noticed that scene at that moment.

The bookstore opened by Ruan Luo, which is half a business and half an account room, is not of low grade, and the people who enter this store are all Sven people, and at this time there are only people in the bookstore who continue to browse books.

Realizing that walking outside the palace is no better than walking inside the palace, the two bookstore bodyguards dispersed silently at their own signals. Wang Chi was ready to make a royal guard take the first step, so as not to disturb Ruan Luo as surprised as those bodyguards just now.

However, he was one step slower after all.

At the door of the study, when the four of them had just fought, Ruan Luo was resting for a short time after cleaning up a stack of account books in the study, so the slightest movement outside the study did not avoid his attention. And when he subconsciously got up and left the desk and walked towards the study door. The door suddenly opened from the outside, and a middle-aged man in brocade clothes strode towards him.

His gaze only stayed on the middle-aged man's face for a moment, and Ruan Luo recognized him, slightly stunned. The next moment they bowed.

Wang Chi, who had already crossed the threshold, suddenly paused, the sleeves of his robe were slightly raised, and the two military guards who followed him immediately understood. Turned around and closed the door, shutting the two of them out at the same time. also locked Ruan Luo's "Majesty" into the study.

Looking at Ruan Luo, who was bowing in front of him, Wang Chi's gaze paused for a moment on the dark blue ribbon that was tied up on the hair of the latter life. Then he approached slowly, crouched slightly, and put his hand on the forearm of the latter child.

Ruan Luo first raised his head, and then stood up according to the support from his forearm.

His Majesty didn't have to help each other so personally, but he was more like a relative elder at this time.

Looking at the middle-aged man in brocade clothes who was standing in front of him, no more than one step away, Ruan Luo couldn't completely evacuate the surprise in his heart for a long time. Before that, he had not entered the palace to face the saint, but like today, His Majesty came to his study in casual clothes without the slightest hint in advance, this was the first time.

- No wonder the two bodyguards didn't recognize His Majesty.

"ι™›xiΓ ......"

Ruan Luo calmed down a little after being stunned for a moment, but he had just spoken, and just before he had time to repeat these two words, he saw Wang Chi raise his sleeves and say in a deep voice: "I am walking outside the palace this time, so you can consider yourself a nephew." Since I'm here for a small service, you can't help but understand what I mean, so don't bring me the people from Kyoto Prefecture. ”

The title has changed greatly, and the words have completely lost the coercive momentum when they were in the main hall of deliberation, but if you listen carefully, you can actually hear some complaints, such words were said by Wang Chi, and the atmosphere in the study suddenly changed greatly.

"Uncle ......" rarely used these two words to Wang Chi, and as soon as the words came out, Ruan Luo naturally felt a trace of pressure. There was a slight hesitation in his tone, "You're here today...... If there is anything that needs to be done later, you can directly summon me to the palace. It's not as safe outside as it is in the palace. ”

With the sound of "uncle" coming, Wang Chi's face softened slightly. However, when he heard Ruan Luo finish his words, his two Wolong eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly, "You will also question that Kyoto is not peaceful today?" ”

Ruan Luo was speechless for a while.

He didn't question this, today's Kyoto is indeed several times safer and more stable than the castle that was only equivalent to the temporary residence of the royal family more than ten years ago, and he has begun to truly have the momentum and quality of the brain of the country and the important town of Beijing, of course, he has already experienced it. However, if the identity information of the majesty is once gone. With only two people with him now, it seems that no part of the capital he is in will be safe.

He didn't speak, but listened to Wang Chi continue: "I have spent more than ten years comprehensively repairing this capital from people to things. It is hoped that it can become the head of the Nanzhao country, set an example, set a standard, and rebuild more capitals according to this model in the future. Now, the plan is finally showing some results. I thought about going out for a walk once in a while, experiencing the environment I created myself, and experiencing the joy of being an ordinary person in this environment. This kind of joy and joy can sustain me to endure the coldness in the palace and prove what I have done. Not only is it worthy of the expectations and trust given by tens of millions of Li people, but it is also worthy of my friends. ”

These words were just being spoken. Wang Chi's tone was relatively calm, and very slow. But to the last paragraph. He was like a man who had been silent for a long time, and finally spoke. I couldn't help but confide in some of my thoughts.

Ruan Luo still didn't speak, but his hand hanging down his sleeve trembled slightly.

The voice of an emperor is better to listen less. The purpose of His Majesty's coming here today has not yet been clarified, and he suddenly said these things first, which always made him feel even more apprehensive, and he faintly wondered if there was a mountain-like heavy task to be pressed.

Wang Chi's long words came to the end, and his heart was really moved.

At the mention of the word friend, he couldn't help but think of a scene more than ten years ago when he was still in Northern Xinjiang. At that time, although the environment in northern Xinjiang was difficult and harsh, the Great Zhou Dynasty was like a knife hanging over his head. But at that time, in the big tent in the army, my father was still there, my wife and children were close, and the two friends sat around the charcoal brazier by the sand table and talked eloquently.

Although the northern frontier land with yellow sand and sharp as a knife is not as beautiful as Kyoto, it is a natural battlefield with a smooth road in the four wildernesses, and the sand and swords are galloping. It is also an indescribable free and easy pride.

Not now, he needs to have imperial dignity, even if he wants to play two knife tricks, he has to prepare the venue in advance. Although the Kyoto neighborhood was built according to his ideals, it was incomparably wide and straight. But in order for the common people in the city to live peacefully, there was a horse restriction order. As for those friends, only one of them is still close now. But it will be gone soon.

Maybe it's not all a good place now, if you continue to live in northern Xinjiang as before. Maybe Hong'er can't live to this day, or maybe the entire Wang family has disappeared in the catastrophe of the collapse of the Great Zhou Dynasty a few years ago - nine generations of soldiers. Among the more than 1,000 people, there are five marshals and 113 generals, and the Wang family will never change their banners to the command of Beiyan and crush the mountains and rivers of the motherland.

But if he hadn't chosen to live a life like this, he might not have been as passively bound as he is now in the matter of taking his little daughter home.

Maybe it was on the way out of the palace to Ruan Luo's bookstore that Weifu saw some warm little scenery in an ordinary small family, or maybe it was looking at the young face in front of him now, reminding himself of his friend's uneasy words before his death, and Wang Chi's heartstrings that had been silent for a long time were plucked. When he thought of the little daughter who was still wandering outside the palace, he remembered something that had nothing to do with power.

Glancing sideways, seeing that Ruan Luoliang was speechless for a long time, and the gaze that he could still look at directly just now had also dropped slightly at this time, Wang Chi couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart: These words, after all, are still not suitable for a descendant.

After recovering his mind a little, Wang Chi had already recovered the calm tone when he first spoke, and said slowly: "I just said that I came out this time to distract myself, but in fact, it is not true, there are still some things that I want to tell you." ”

When Ruan Luo heard this, his slightly drooping gaze suddenly raised, and there was no longer the worried look in his eyes just now, his eyes were condensed, and his expression became solemn and serious.

Wang Chi only pondered for a moment, and then asked directly, "Have you got the Yan family's silver ticket back?" ”

As a tool to reduce the burden of cash transactions, merchants across the country do not know how many tickets to be issued and destroyed every day. This kind of piece of paper would not have been memorized too carefully by an emperor, but at this time, Wang Chi said that the Yan family's silver ticket was related to another important matter, so he focused on mentioning it. Ruan Luo's attitude towards this is also extremely dignified.

The silver substitution ticket, which was only valid in the Yan family's internal accounting office, was taken back by Yan Yu a few days ago. Now the silver ticket that Wang Chi is talking about refers to the counterfeit ticket sent back from a certain place in northern Xinjiang.

If the matter of counterfeiting silver tickets is put on ordinary people, it is a serious crime to be imprisoned or killed, but at present, the Yan family's special silver ticket counterfeiting is actually presided over by Emperor Nanzhao himself, so naturally the punishment of this matter cannot be measured by the general criminal law. It is possible to reproduce the silver tickets of other countries with the technology of issuing silver tickets of the National Fortune Bank. The counterfeiting technique is almost perfect, and there doesn't seem to be any danger.

However, if this matter is revealed, it involves the integrity of the transaction, and the impact is huge. I am afraid that it will have a heavy and devastating impact on the material trading industry of the two countries.

Didn't Nanzhao want to rejuvenate the country through commerce? However, if the matter of this monarch taking the lead in falsification spreads, which businessman would dare to rest assured, maybe he would do what he learned, and he could also get involved with the sore feet of the Nanzhao monarch and exonerate himself. Although the business world is permeated with the smell of copper for profit, the basic principle of bartering between goods and money should still be emphasized. Once this principle is disrupted. It's better for the merchant to go straight to the hard robbery.

And the key point that shocked Ruan Luo's heart was that he sniffed out some bad signs from this incident.

Although he didn't have a good impression of the Yan family, he felt that the rules of trading in this family were too strong, and there was nothing that could not be bought and sold, and the cleaning work after the depreciation was even more ruthless. But he never wanted the family to perish. How can the Yan family be a family member who prioritizes profit and pressures profit, but the Yan family has more than 1,000 clansmen, most of whom are women and children, and they are the weakest in a family, and they just need a peaceful living environment.

But fourteen years ago, the glorious Cheng dΓΉ was no less than the Yan family's Ye family collapse case, and told people in the business world, no matter how rich your family is, don't try to collide with the imperial power.

Of course, the Yan family also knows this, so the Yan family, which has grown from the small Liang Kingdom, has always had a good relationship with the royal family of the Liang Kingdom, and is often welcomed verbally and willing to contribute in silver.

Xiaoliang country is not a large territory, located in a remote area, the soil is poor, the country's own resource production capacity is very limited, if there is no business travel activities to massage the flow of materials, this small country's development potential may soon reach the upper limit. Therefore, in the face of the Yan family, a business giant, if he is obedient enough, the way to get along between the royal family of Liang and the Yan family is naturally the state of hello and me.

However, the Yan family's big ship transporting gold went too far and went to an unfamiliar sea, and it seemed that there was still a potential danger of hitting the reef.

While borrowing from others, it is likely that he will be affected by others, the Yan family has spread out such a big business in Nanzhao, if the Nanzhao royal family wants to handle him, he may not be able to get out of it for a while. And if the Yan family really touches the backlash of the Nanzhao royal family, the backer of the Xiaoliang royal family will become like a kind old man, saying that it is okay, but if the reason can't go on, you have to really fight hard, Xiaoliang Guoyan is Nanzhao's opponent.

It's just that since the beginning of the old dynasty, the Yan family has paved a trade route in the land of Sanzhou, and has never made any major mistakes, and has also driven many local people to do business, many of which have become the mainstay of the Nanzhao business community. In this way, the Yan family has made a certain amount of merit to Nanzhao, and in the eyes of others, Emperor Nanzhao has always treated the Yan family well.

When did it start that Emperor Nanzhao was still eyeing the Yan family? And this kind of "staring" is obviously a bit ill-intentioned....... (To be continued......)
