Chapter 227: Secretly provoking
Meng Yifeng frowned.
He planted a fine work in Qingqiu, and now everyone in the world knows about it.
But so what, in addition to being poked in the backbone and touching the cheapness of his mouth, didn't Nanyan also have to suffer this dumb loss?!
And An Qing is just a relatively easy person to use for him, that's all.
Nanyan is not stupid, it is impossible to use him to threaten himself at this time.
However, the unfinished meaning of her words made Meng Yifeng feel uneasy for no reason.
"What do you mean?"
Nanyan raised his eyebrows:
"The prince might as well ask your queen mother."
Meng Yifeng's face stiffened, the Queen Mother lived in the palace, how could she know such a small role as An Qing?
Before he could say anything more, Rong Mo appeared.
As a result, the cries of the people gradually ceased.
Rong pretended to smile and said loudly:
"Heavenly Maiden, the Queen Mother has been talking with you for the past two days, and when I saw that you hadn't entered the palace at this time, I was worried about it, and I sent the old slave to look for you!"
The panicked people in the crowd couldn't help but feel a little relieved in their hearts.
"Hey, it looks like things have eased!"
It stands to reason that this is already enough to give Nanyan face.
Qingqiu repeatedly made Meng Yifeng ugly in public, although it was all his own fault.
But Meng Yifeng is a member of the royal family after all, and Qingqiu did not hit Meng Yifeng in the face, but Da Zhou.
But at this time, the queen of heaven can still put down her face and show that she wants to negotiate peace with Qingqiu, which is already very generous.
But Nanyan didn't appreciate it, she said lightly:
"Two days after entering the palace, the Queen Mother didn't officially talk to the palace about the million taels of goods, so why waste time now, the palace should return to China as soon as possible to earn back the loss!"
When the words fell, she turned around and left.
The expression on Rong's face changed from embarrassment to anger.
Who doesn't want to talk about business, how can this Nanyan talk nonsense with his eyes open!
The subject left, and the people were at a loss for a moment, not understanding where they had come from so boldly just now, and they openly confronted the imperial court!
Someone in the crowd whispered:
"The goddess of heaven came to Da Zhou just for the silver, and the queen mother called people into the palace and didn't talk about business, what do you mean?"
"I guess the Queen Mother wants to get rid of the blame!"
"But this lost item shouldn't be the dealer's business, why does the Heavenly Maiden come forward?"
"You don't understand, all the goods supplied to the outside world in Qingqiu are all controlled by the royal family! So now it's not the merchants of Qingqiu who are losing money, but the Heavenly Maiden! ”
"What do you mean?"
"Look at your brain, for example, a foot of cloth costs one or two silver, and the goddess of heaven buys the goods at a price of seventy percent, and then sells them to the outside world!"
"Why is that?"
"For the people, of course! This move not only ensured the stable profits of the Qingqiu traders, but also avoided the risk of the people losing their goods, and did not have to oppress the people and feed the courtiers with heavy taxes, killing three birds with one stone! ”
"No wonder Qingqiu exempts the people from taxes at every turn!"
"It's not just that, I heard that the heavenly girl is only a birthday, but in the New Year, save all the silver that can be saved in the palace to give benefits to the soldiers in the frontier and exempt the people from taxes!"
"If only I could be born in Qingqiu~"
"Don't talk nonsense, you're treason!"
……
In the carriage, a note was thrown in.
Luo Chen picked it up and opened it, and it read, 'Male and female are trapped, airtight.' ’
Nanyan glanced at it, as if he had expected this result a long time ago, and his expression was calm.
