Volume 1 Rain in the East China Sea Chapter 31

Guan Shaohe smiled, picked up the teacup and tasted it, and said, "It's really good tea." Then he said softly: "The fifth prince doesn't seem to be very surprised by this matter. ”

"Is it worth my surprise?" Han Mo smiled and said, "What does this matter have to do with me?" Hehe, I'll tell you the truth, I am really happy that Xiao Jing was killed. ”

At this time, Han Mo crossed Erlang's legs and said words of schadenfreude, and he was really like a gentleman.

Guan Shaohe was slightly stunned, with a look of doubt in his eyes, as if he was a little surprised by Han Mo's reaction, and couldn't help but ask softly: "Fifth prince, you don't seem to be worried!" ”

"Worried?" Han Mo frowned and said, "What are you worried about?" ”

Han Mo was very confident in the secrecy of that matter, he believed that the wind-like action would not be known by anyone other than the night action, but Guan Shaohe's sudden words seemed to mean something else, which made Han Mo a little puzzled in his heart, could it be that Guan Shaohe knew something? Of course, the doubts in his heart were not half revealed on his face.

Guan Shaohe thought about it, seemed to think of something, and said with a smile: "This has never happened before, and the fifth prince still doesn't understand the consequences of the theft of tax silver...... Hmm, Shaohe lost his words, and the fifth son is not to blame. ”

"The consequences?" Han Mo picked up the teacup, shook it at Guan Shaohe, and motioned for him to drink tea together, but said with a smile on his face: "Don't say it, Xiao Wu has always only known how to have fun and frolic, and he really doesn't understand the consequences of the theft of tax silver." Close the shopkeeper, it is better for you to dial and dial, let Xiao Wu open his mind. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Guan Shaohe immediately said modestly, and then said with a smile: "Fifth son, in fact, the theft of tax money this time is not necessarily a bad thing." ”

"Close the shopkeeper, speak clearly, if you play the meditation machine, Xiao Wu can't understand it." Han Mo said lightly.

Guan Shaohe hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't play the Zen machine, don't play the Zen machine." Fifth prince, let's put it this way, the tax silver was stolen, and a large amount of tax silver was lost, and it was impossible for the court to forget it. The tax and silver of your Donghai County have not been paid to the household department, and they will not care whether you have been robbed or not, and the most important thing is that the court will see the silver, and see the silver of the white flowers that have been included in the treasury. Without the silver, how will the Yamen of the Yan Kingdom operate inside and outside the court? Therefore, Shaohe thought that the imperial court would soon issue a decree ordering Donghai County to pay back taxes and silver! ”

"Back taxes?" The corners of Han Mo's eyebrows jumped, he really hadn't thought about it.

After all, Donghai County has really not had a robbery of tax silver before, and Han Mo has never been in contact with this matter, in his opinion, the tax and silver were robbed, and the primary responsibility for the imperial court is naturally to find Xiao Muzan, after all, it is his poor use of people that leads to this consequence, and then he will naturally find the officials of Qingpu County, and if it happens on their ground, they will not be able to escape the involvement.

But he didn't expect that the imperial court would ignore the robbery of the tax silver, and it was possible to order Donghai County to pay the tax and silver again, if this was the case, he secretly made a move this time, which would bring a little trouble to the Han family.

"Fifth prince, you are smart and clever, you must be able to know that if this court orders Donghai County to pay back taxes and silver, under normal circumstances, it is natural to ask the people of Donghai County for silver." Guan Shaohe's expression was calm, and he said slowly: "But the tax and silver of Donghai County have just been paid, and now I am afraid that even the silver money for survival will be a problem in my pocket, let alone pay the tax and silver again." The officials are slack and do errands, but the responsibility has to be borne by the people, how can those people be willing? ”

Han Mo held his chin, groaned slightly, and said lightly: "If it were me, let me bear the responsibility for the mistakes made by the government, I would not be reconciled." He didn't continue to talk to Guan Shaohe at this time, Guan Shaohe came here today, he must have something to discuss, so Han Mo followed his words and said to see what his plan was.

"Ahh Guan Shaohe gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "I just said that the fifth young master is an honest person, it seems that Shaohe's eyesight is not bad." After a pause, he said softly: "Fifth son, what you said is right, if you pay taxes and silver, the people will have no way to live, and they are really in a hurry, and there will be a civil uprising nine times out of ten." If the inhabitants of the East China Sea are in peace, they are kind and docile, but once they make trouble, they are the most fierce people in your Yan Kingdom. Your Han family is the first family in the East China Sea, and when the people of Donghai County rebel, even if you Han family doesn't want to take action, even if you know that the consequences are almost devastating, but the situation forces you, you have to take them to make trouble. ”

The light in Han Mo's eyes flashed, he smiled coldly, and said, "Shopkeeper Guan, you have repeatedly made great rebellious remarks. I'm really thinking about it now, whether I'm going to gag your mouth! ”

"Haha......!" Guan Shaohe smiled: "The fifth prince wants to gag my mouth, Shaohe doesn't dare to object." But I still hope that the fifth prince will wait for me to finish speaking, and then decide whether to block my mouth. ”

Han Mo said leisurely: "Don't say the wrong thing, you really have no head." ”

Guan Shaohe said with a straight face: "*, this situation is naturally very clear in the court, although there are many people in the court who want to see your Han family really make a move at this time, and they really want to use this matter to force the people of Donghai County to be dissatisfied, but your Han family still has power in the court, and they will do their best to make this matter downplayed." ”

Han Mo groaned and didn't interject, just looked at Guan Shaohe with a strange smile.

In fact, in Han Mo's heart, he is still very interested in this Guan Shaohe.

The Han family is the nobles of the Yan Kingdom, and they have always been cautious in their daily actions, and what they are afraid of is that other families will attack the Han family by some means and force the Han family to react, so on the surface, the Han family fully shows that they are a loyal and patriotic family.

Ordinary businessmen naturally did not dare to break this tranquility and say some rebellious topics in front of the Han family, who insisted on making a loyal appearance.

But this Guan Shaohe is extremely different, not only has he said a lot of rebellious words, but he also seems to know the form of Yan Kingdom very well, this person is really not ordinary, at least he is an unusual businessman.

His guts are not small.

And what made Han Mo even more puzzled was that this Guan Shaohe had the intention of doing an underground deal with the Han family, but instead of going to the head of the Han family, he didn't find the big sect master, the second sect master, or Han Xuanchang, but he found himself ---- a junior of the Han family who had no actual power, which made Han Mo unable to figure it out.

Could it be that Guan Shaohe would think that it would be more useful to find the junior of the Han family than to find the principal of the family? Or, Guan Shaohe knew that the head of the Han family would not negotiate with him, so he used roundabout tactics to start with Han Mo?

"You just said that the robbery of tax money is not necessarily a bad thing." Han Mo smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Guan, Xiao Wu can't understand this sentence." ”

Guan Shaohe smiled and said: "As I said, the tax and silver that Donghai County has to pay to the imperial court are indispensable, and this batch of silver cannot be collected from the people of Donghai County at the risk of civil rebellion, in this case, Donghai County can only think of other ways to solve this matter." The fifth young master knows that the biggest resource of Donghai County is the Great East Sea, to put it bluntly, it is the pearl agate sea treasure under the sea, Shaohe took the liberty of guessing that the Yan Imperial Court is likely to allow the Han family to go to the sea in the end, and take the sea treasure to fill the vacancy of tax silver, so that the opportunity for the Han family will come, and Shaohe's Guan family trade house may also be able to get some light. ”

Of course, Han Mo is not a stupid person, when it comes to IQ, he is even above most people, so as soon as Guan Shaohe finished saying this, he understood Guan Shaohe's true intention of coming here today, and he also understood why "the robbery of tax and silver is not necessarily a bad thing", because in Guan Shaohe's case, this matter may set up a line between the Guan family trading house and the Han family's trade, and there will be an excellent opportunity.

It is the so-called "blessing and blessing"!

It's just that Han Mo really doesn't know much about the family's business on weekdays, so he doesn't understand why the Han family needs special permission from the imperial court to go to the sea, and once the Han family goes to the sea to collect pearl sea treasures, what kind of opportunity will it bring to the Han family?

"Shopkeeper Guan, you came today, you said so much, what do you want Xiao Wu to do?" Han Mo stared at Guan Shaohe and asked.

Guan Shaohe didn't talk nonsense, got up and walked to Han Mo's side, respectfully, but his voice was very low: "Fifth prince, once the imperial court really allows you to go to the sea, then no matter how many envoys the imperial court sends to supervise, I believe that with the Han family's ability, you can completely collect some of it privately...... Therefore, Shaohe thought that what the Han family was most worried about at that time was that the pearls in their hands could not be safely exchanged for silver. Shaohe came here today to let the fifth young master have a number in his heart, and when that time comes, Shaohe will definitely help and solve the worries of the Han family. ”

Han Mo immediately laughed, weird, just like seeing through Guan Shaohe's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, and said leisurely: "Guan Shopkeeper is just able to speak, obviously he wants to make a profit from it, and he also wants to help my Han family, high-sounding, worthy of being a businessman!" ”

Guan Shaohe didn't think it was Xu, laughed, and immediately turned to the side, holding a huge thing and coming out.

The thing was covered with purple yarn, Guan Shaohe held Han Mo in front of him with both hands, and said respectfully: "Fifth son, this is an occasional thing obtained by Shaohe, ask yourself if you are qualified to use it, give it to the fifth prince, and hope to smile!" ”

"When you are looking for someone to do something, you always have to have some gifts." Han Mo grinned, stretched out his hand and lifted it, and couldn't help but be stunned, what Guan Shaohe was holding in his hand was an extremely precious Yaoqin.

"Golden boy head, jade girl waist, fairy back, dragon pool, phoenix swamp, jade Zhen, golden emblem, five strings!" Guan Shaohe looked at Yaoqin and said with a smile: "The best Yaoqin, full of gold and jade!" ”

Han Mo's eyes were very strange, and after a while, he sighed, "I'...... Can't play the piano! ”

Guan Shaohe was stunned for a moment, but immediately smiled: "Make a decoration!" ”

The two of them looked at each other, and they both smiled strangely.
