Chapter 332: The Two Go on a Date
Gonggong Liu came to Mo Castle early in the morning with the emperor's holy decree, although he had the holy decree in his hand, but he did not dare to be arrogant, and obediently waited in the hall for Jimo Wuxuan to receive the holy decree, and he was also prepared to wait for a long time.
This is not the first time he has come to Mo Castle to deliver the decree, he has to wait for half a day or even a day, it is already commonplace, and it is not strange, especially after listening to the emperor's words last night, he did not dare to provoke Mo Castle.
Even the emperor is unwilling to provoke Mo Castle, where does he dare to provoke a eunuch?
"Father-in-law Liu, please use some refreshments first, the lord of the castle and the eldest lady will come later." After Mr. Xu learned that Jimo Wuxuan and Qiandiewu were freshening up, he came over to inform Gonggong Liu. kncq。
Gonggong Liu was a little surprised, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and asked again, "Manager Xu, what did you just say, will the lord of the big castle and the eldest lady come later?" ”
"Yes, the lord of the big castle and the eldest lady are already freshening up, Gonggong Liu, please wait for a while."
"Ah...... Good. ”
It's strange, how could Mo Wuxuan and Thousand Butterfly Dance come to accept the order immediately?
Just when Gonggong Liu was confused, Jimo Wuxuan and Thousand Butterfly Dance had already walked into the hall.
"Father-in-law Liu, it's early!" Qiandiewu greeted Gonggong Liu, glanced at the holy decree in his hand, and did not have much affection for this holy decree.
To be exact, she didn't have a good impression of the Divine Decree, which must have brought bad things, not good things.
"Morning, Madam." Gonggong Liu responded with courtesy, he had seen countless scenes, but he was a little nervous at this time, and the hand holding the holy decree trembled slightly, as if he was afraid of something, but even he didn't know what he was afraid of.
He's just here to deliver the message, not to make trouble, so what are you afraid of?
"Father-in-law Liu, please read the holy decree, finish the matter as soon as possible, and you should go back as soon as possible, right?"
"Ah...... Yes, yes. Gonggong Liu opened the holy decree, maybe his old eyes were dizzy, or maybe he was too nervous, and he couldn't see the words on the holy decree clearly, vaguely, so he simply said bluntly: "The Holy Lord has issued a new decree to levy more than 50% of the taxes from the people, and Mo Castle must pay 50% more taxes like everyone else." ”
After Gonggong Liu finished saying the content of the holy decree, he was even more nervous, his forehead was full of cold sweat, so he wiped it with his sleeve, and after wiping off the cold sweat on his forehead, he felt that the atmosphere was wrong, raised his head, glanced at Jimo Wuxuan, and was immediately frightened by his two sharp eyes and retracted his gaze, and did not dare to talk to him, so he said to Qiandiewu: "Big lady, take the order." ”
Qiandiewu was very angry, glaring at Gonggong Liu viciously, but she also knew that this matter had nothing to do with him, and she reluctantly accepted the holy decree, "The people take the decree." ”
She didn't want to give the silver to the emperor, but the holy decree was pressed, even if she didn't want to, she had to give it, otherwise the trouble would be even greater.
"Now that the holy decree has arrived, then I will go back to my life, and ask the eldest lady to do what she will do as soon as possible."
"I know it."
"Well, farewell." Gonggong Liu never said a word to Jimo Wuxuan from beginning to end, but just told Qiandiewu that he would leave quickly after giving her the holy decree, as if he was running for his life.
Qiandie Dance pinched the holy decree in her hand, she really wanted to tear it to pieces, as soon as Gonggong Liu left, she scolded angrily, "What, this is simply a robber in disguise, I couldn't ask for it yesterday, and today I asked for money in the form of taxes, saying that he was a robber, that was to give him face, and other robbers still have a little principle!" ”
This emperor has no ordinary people in his heart, faint.
Jimo Wuxuan was not so angry, he looked expected, seeing Qiandie's dancing like this, he was worried that she would hurt her body, so he hurriedly came over to persuade her, "Don't be angry, it's not worth it." If the emperor wants to ask for money from Mo Castle, he will get it even if he doesn't compromise the means, and if he doesn't get it today, he will use a new method tomorrow until he gets the money. So, there's no need to be angry about it. ”
"I don't want to be angry, but I just can't help but be angry. Wuxuan, how much is the increase in taxes by fifty percent for Mo Castle? ”
"The previous tax was 20%, and Mo Castle had to pay more than 150,000 taels of tax and silver every month, if it was increased by 50%, it would be more than doubled, about 3 million taels."
"What, more than three million taels, if you add the silver that you have to give to the emperor for nothing every month, wouldn't it be five or six million taels? With such a large number, a powerful army can be formed. ”
She really feels sorry for this money!
"For Mo Castle, five or six million taels is nothing, it's just the tip of the iceberg, and it doesn't hurt to give it to him."
Thousand Butterfly Dance glared at Jimo Wuxuan very unhappily, crossed her hands on her waist, and reprimanded him angrily, "What is the tip of the iceberg, do you think that the silver of Mo Castle is like a waterfall and flowing water, endless?" Even the waterfall has a time when the flow is broken, let alone your mere ink castle? How many people can live a happy and healthy life with five or six million taels, do you know the way? Although this fifty percent tax is a trivial matter for Mo Castle, but for the common people, it is like Mount Tai is overpowered, many people will not be able to eat because of this, and some people will even starve to death, how many tragedies will happen, do you know the Tao? ”
Jimo Wuxuan thought that this coaxing would make Qiandiewu a little happier, don't be so angry, who knew that it would backfire, which made her even more angry, I was afraid that she would be angry and move the fetus, so she had to follow her wishes, and he listened to what she said, "Okay, okay, what you said makes sense, don't be angry, being angry is not good for your body, beware of the fetus." ”
"Hmph."
"Still angry?"
"Yes, I'm very angry right now."
"Then I'll burn this decree and let you dissipate your anger."
"If you burn the holy decree, you don't have to give the emperor five or six hundred taels?"
"Butterfly Dance, you don't have to worry about that money, didn't you say it at the beginning? Spend some money to build relationships in order to do business better, right? As for the affairs of the common people, you and I are not from the DPRK and China, so it is useless to think too much. ”
Remembering what she had said, Qian Butterfly Dance lowered her head in frustration, lowered her shoulders, and said weakly: "I also understand this truth, but I just don't want to give away your hard-earned money, and I have to give it every month, and the amount is amazing, I ......"
"A thousand fortunes are things outside the body, so you don't have to worry about them."
"Although money is not omnipotent, but no money is absolutely impossible, the emperor is simply a bottomless pit, if he continues like this, Mo Castle will be hollowed out by him sooner or later. No, I can't let him hollow out the Ink Castle. ”
"Don't worry, no, the emperor's time is running out."
"You, how do you know the way?"
"It is not advisable to talk much about this, lest the wall have ears and evil will come from the mouth." Why don't you do this, I'll take you out of the city today to relax, and you won't think about the silver, okay? Jimo Wuxuan took away the holy decree in Qiandiewu's hand, threw it on the table at will, and ignored it, obviously still not taking the money in his eyes.
Maybe it's because he makes too much money, so he doesn't feel distressed at all, or maybe in his heart, something is more important than money.
After many persuasions and comforts from Jimo Wuxuan, Qiandiewu had to accept the reality even if she was no longer willing to accept it, and when she heard him say that she was going to take her out of the hall to relax, she was extremely surprised, for fear that she had heard it wrong, so she asked again, "What did you just say, say it again?" ”
He knew what surprised her because of Lu, so he held her face with both hands, and said again, "I said I would take you out of Lu to relax, would you like to ......?"
Before Jimo Wuxuan finished speaking, Qiandiewu interrupted him, and grabbed his arm and walked out, "I'm willing, I'm willing, let's go now and eat breakfast outside." ”
"Take your time, don't worry, I'm not going to the account office today, I'll just accompany you."
"Really?"
"Well, business isn't as important as you, right?"
"Hee-hee! I love to hear this, so who else do I want to take with me? ”
"Do you want to bring it?"
"Well...... this" Qiandiewu hesitated for a moment, then smiled like a flower at Jimo Wuxuan, and said with a smile: "It's better to just the two of us, when the two of us are dating." ”
"It's up to you." Jimo Wuxuan said dotingly, as long as he can see the smiling face of his beloved, he is willing to spend more money.
What you don't bring with you in life and don't take with you in death, of course, you should use it as much as possible when you're alive, and what's the use of it after you die? Medium is not daring.
"Then let's go to the nearby inn to eat, the one opened by Mo Castle, if you don't mind, I want to see what Zhao Yuhua looks like now."
"Why do you suddenly want to see her?"
"It's nothing, it's just been too long, I just want to see how she's doing?" Qiandiewu smiled very yin and evil, and her eyes still flashed with anger and hatred, and she was still so angry with Zhao Yuhua.
This woman, she is afraid that she will never forgive for the rest of her life.
To be precise, she will never forgive anyone who hurt her husband. 4857354
Jimo Wuxuan smiled disdainfully, and said indifferently: "It's good if you're happy." ”
"Don't just be happy with me, I want you to be happy too, if you don't want to see her, then I'm gone."
"It's okay, I have no feelings for this woman, whether she lives or dies, whether she is good or bad is none of my business." There is only one woman in his heart, and nothing else matters, let alone a person who has hurt him.
Actually, that's not much harm.
"Of course I know that you have no feelings for Zhao Yuhua, and I don't ask about this, I just want to know Lu Dao, will you be unhappy when you see her? What I care about is your mood, not someone else's life or death. ”
"If you're happy, I'll be happy."
"No opinion."
"How can you say that you are not assertive? These are indeed my heartfelt words, and it is a joy for me to see your smiling face. ”
"Okay, okay, stop glamming, let's go." Thousand Butterfly Dance stopped the topic and pulled Jimo Wuxuan out the door, but his mind was thinking about what he had just said, and his heart was sweet.
She loved to hear those words.
