The promotion and depreciation of the government, the transfer, and the annual tax? Hearing Yan Ruyu's words, Song Jinyu's brows twisted like twisted flowers, "Why do you provide these news?" There will be such news in the newspaper, why do you want to pass it on? ”

"I don't know." Yan Ruyu shook her head slightly, "Actually, I also feel very puzzled, these two items are relatively important, and they will be sent back to the capital regularly, and they will ask some questions about ...... from time to time Well...... In my opinion, a lot of sesame mung beans are trifles. For example, on the bustling commercial street, what kind of shops are newly opened, whether the business is good or not, and which kind of customers belong to. Another example is what flavor of food the people in the city like recently, which restaurant they like to go to eat, and so on. She spread her hands, "A lot of bits and pieces of information are of this kind, and to be honest, I don't know what they're going to do when they ask about it." ”

"That said, what's the use of them knowing this?" Song Jinyu and Jin Miaomiao glanced at each other, and the two of them looked at Shen Cha at the same time, "Observe the people's feelings?" Want to do something good for the people of Jiangnan? Unlikely, right? ”

"Of course it can't be, even if you do something good, you won't ask for anything in return, there will definitely be a backhand." Shen Cha smiled, "If I had to analyze it, I could only say that Uncle Huaiyin and Mrs. Huaiyin had been fooled." ”

"Fooled?" Yan Ruyu was taken aback, "What does this mean, General?" ”

"Well, Xiaocha is right, she was indeed fooled." The Empress Dowager nodded with a smile, "The Tantai family showed or they gave you the illusion that they were already in control of the overall situation, and it seemed that all parts of Great Xia had their eyeliner and their spies, making you feel that they were omnipotent, as if they did not cooperate with them, they would encounter something more terrible than what was right now." But in fact, their power is at most Xijing and the surroundings of Xijing, and they don't dare to be particularly arrogant, because there are still countless pairs of eyes staring at them. ”

"That's right, as Niang Niang said, they can block you in the south, but it's just a coincidence." Shen Cha gently hooked the corners of his lips, and a mocking smile flashed on his face, "Judging from their current situation, their hands can't reach south at all. Madame knows very well in her heart that they have always been quick to get rid of betrayers and defectors, so why would they negotiate terms with you and agree to let you go so easily? There's only one reason for that, and the reason they're doing this is because they want to take advantage of you. ”

"What do you do with us? Inquire about the news of Jiangnan? Yan Ruyu shook her head and disagreed with Shen Cha's statement, "They don't hesitate to go against their original wishes and force us to be their eyeliner, so they have to pass on some valuable news, right?" I don't think the news that can be seen in the newspaper, and the daily life of the people, is of any value! ”

"Asking you to pass on the news in the Di Bao is just a trick, and you don't need to mention it if you fool people. What they really want to know is the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea of the people in Jiangnan. Seeing that Yan Ruyu still didn't understand, Shen Cha sighed and explained, "They don't have any power in Jiangnan, and if they want to arrange eyeliner, they have to open all kinds of shops like in Xijing." To do business, you must follow the local customs and understand the habits and preferences of the locals. Otherwise, no matter what you make, you will lose money. ”

"So, are they really aware of the people's sentiments and preparing for trading?" Seeing Shen Cha nodding, Song Jinyu sighed, "What will you do with this brain, won't you succeed?" If you have to do this kind of rebellious thing, what are you trying to do? ”

"This is the persistence that has been passed down from their ancestors for generations, and they are single-mindedly trying to restore the former glory of the Tantai family. For this dedication, no matter what the price is paid, they will not hesitate. Shen Cha lowered his eyes, "Aren't they special cases, aren't the Xiao family in the Liao Kingdom the same?" ”

"It's horrible!" Song Jinyu disagreed, "It took so much effort and wasted so much financial resources, and in the end, it could only be a bamboo basket for nothing, wasn't it?" What is the situation of the Xiao family now, can't they see it? ”

"I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain. They have long been carried away by the so-called restoration of glory, how can they see the current situation clearly? Or......" Shen Cha sneered, "I know very well in my heart that this is just useless work, and it is impossible to achieve what they imagined, but I still refuse to give up." ”

"What's so good about the end of the crossbow?" Song Jinyu shook her head, "Those who know the times are Junjie, isn't it good to live a good life?" ”

"That's the gambler's mentality." Jin Miaomiao yawned, rubbed her eyes, and glanced at Yan Ruyu, "Caught in this game, everyone has the idea of what if, if it can be successful, if it can be done." She snorted, "But they don't want to think about it, if there are so many things in this world, wouldn't they have already been messed up?" She raised her eyebrows at Yan Ruyu, "What do you say?" Mrs. Huaiyinbo. ”

"I ...... I ......"

Jin Miaomiao's words pierced the thoughts in her heart, and Yan Ruyu didn't know how to defend herself. When she knew that the person behind Fengyitai was not a foreigner, she was really happy for a while. The spies of foreign clans are fundamentally different from those of other forces within Great Xia. In her or her and Huaiyinbo's hearts, as long as it is not a betrayal of Great Xia, everything else is negotiable.

She sighed softly, she understood that this was a lack of greed, it was not good, but sometimes she couldn't control herself.

When the people in the room saw Yan Ruyu's reaction, they had already guessed what she had in mind, and if they had gained a lot of credit just for providing some small unspoken information, they would definitely be happy to do it. Even if they fail, they only need to make their position clear, take the initiative to admit their mistakes, and then atone for their crimes, even if they have any guilt, it will not be too heavy.

Thinking of this, Shen Cha couldn't help but sneer, this couple really had a good calculation!

"By the way, there is one more thing that Madame needs to solve." She stood up and slowly walked up to Yan Ruyu, "Is the fire in Bofu also related to this matter?" Is it a quid pro quo between you? ”

"No, no, it was an accident." Yan Ruyu's reaction this time was very fast, "Uncle has never thought of inheriting the title or anything, because only if he does not inherit the title, it is possible to marry a Qinglou woman as a wife without being ridiculed by the world." ”

"So, is it you who are married first, and the fire of Bofu is behind?"

"Yes!" Yan Ruyu nodded affirmatively, "The Bofu fire has happened in the third year after we got married. She patted the girl sitting on her right, "She was born at that time, and she was a little over a year old. She looked at Shen Cha standing in front of her and smiled bitterly, "The uncle was still sad for a while, and he didn't want this title, but he was scolded back by the first emperor." ”

Shen Cha listened to her while looking through the Shadow's record, which was basically no different from what she said, so she put this confession in front of Yan Ruyu, and asked the Shadow to bring her pen and ink.

"Madame, take a look, and if there is no problem, sign at the end of each page."
