Chapter 107: Fighting wits and courage, a tie
Seeing him like this, Xiao Yue knew that he had the heart to compete with herself, so she didn't speak, and when Father-in-law Qian brought her tea and snacks, she began to eat and drink by herself.
I don't know how long it took, anyway, when Xiaoyue's stomach was full, Yuan Chenhao spoke, "Have you eaten?"
Xiao Yue said contentedly: "Well, the dim sum in the palace is really delicious, much better than the dim sum in Fengchenji in the city." ”
Yuan Chenhao looked at the residual dim sum scum at the corner of her mouth, and faintly felt that this young man was informal, not arrogant in front of him, without any worries, but it made him not to be underestimated, he suddenly wanted to tease him, "If you like it, then come to me every day to eat." ”
Jun didn't joke, Xiao Yue, who was bluffing with this sentence, immediately put away the appearance of hanging Erlang, "The grass people don't dare, please ask the emperor to take back the emperor's order." ”
"Why don't you dare, are you just flattering, not sincere. Yuan Chenhao pressed forward step by step.
Xiao Yue felt that his words were traps, she was really too imprudent, if it was flattery, it was a bully, if it was out of sincerity, how to refuse his request, she frowned, thinking about countermeasures.
"Didn't you talk just now? Why don't you talk now? Yuan Chenhao looked at his weak heart and felt that he was in a good mood, so he took advantage of the victory to pursue.
Xiao Yue rolled from the wooden pier to the ground, and while bowing, she said: "Your Majesty, the grass people are wrong, you shouldn't be disrespectful to the emperor, you shouldn't make a big statement in front of the emperor, and ask the emperor to punish the crime." Xiao Yue remembered that he had listened to himself just now, and obviously agreed with her point of view, at this moment, it was just to get back his face, maybe he bowed his head and bowed down, he was angry, and everything would be easy.
Sure enough, Yuan Chenhao didn't expect him to be so bent and stretched, and seeing Xiaoyue behaving like this in front of him, he couldn't bear to tease him anymore, "Okay, but it's just a joke from me, and besides, I have time to see you every day." He suddenly had an idea that it would be good if he could see him every day, that he was so eye-catching, much better than those bearded officials, and resourceful, and could help him share his worries.
"No, it's all because the grass people ate alone and forgot to leave a copy for the emperor. "Satsuki is talking serious nonsense, she just wants to muddy the water and fool this matter.
Yuan Chenhao was secretly amused, but pretended to be serious and said, "I'm not as greedy as you." He stepped down from the dragon chair and now came to Satsuki, "Okay, you get up." ”
"The grass people thank the emperor for his grace. Xiao Yue slowly stood up, and when she looked up, she found Yuan Chenhao standing not far from her, being illuminated by the side of him through the window, she could even see the color of his pupils, and his dark brown eyes flashed with wisdom.
Yuan Chenhao was attracted by the scumbag of snacks on her lips again, he tried to restrain his urge to help her erase it, pointed to the corner of his mouth at her, and then looked out the window, I don't know why the seductive red lips made him a little impetuous at the moment.
Xiao Yue saw that he was acting strangely, but after thinking about it, she knew what was going on, and she quickly lowered her head and wiped the corners of her mouth with her sleeve.
"The tribute from the secret country is just a pile of goods, if the IOUs are sold, then the pile of IOUs in our hands will not have the money to repay, can we use the goods to pay off the debts?"
"The emperor is sage, the emperor is wise, and what the emperor says is extremely true. "Xiao Yue doesn't dare to be wild in front of him anymore, this person is really difficult to deal with, so it's better to pat yourself on the back and leave a way back for yourself.
Yuan Chenhao turned his head to look at her, and said a little impatiently: "I listen to such words every day, can you say something different?"
"The grass people are telling the truth. Xiao Yue lowered her head and looked obedient, she ignored that Yuan Chenhao didn't call himself me.
Yuan Chenhao felt a little tightness in his chest, and he pushed open the door and window, "I... I think it's better for you to talk to me like you did. ”
Xiaoyue was not fooled, but she didn't dare to disobey his orders, "The grass people obey." ”
"What do you think? About borrowing money. Yuan Chenhao looked at her seriously.
The grass people also felt that they could pay off their debts in kind, and they had to pay off their debts in kind, and it was estimated that the imperial court would not be able to repay their debts at that time, so they would pay off according to the IOU. Satsuki responded cautiously.
"So, you're actually making money by borrowing money, but you're just selling things for the future. Yuan Chenhao finally figured it out.
"Exactly. ”
Yuan Chenhao lowered his head and pondered for a long time, but he didn't think of any flaws in doing so, but there was still a question, and he immediately asked as soon as he thought of it, "How can you guarantee that someone will come to buy this IOU?"
"People are profit-seeking, and once the profit is big enough, there must be people who are willing to take risks. Satsuki said with certainty that this is a truth that anyone who studies economics knows.
"It mentions selling IOUs in the fold, so what should I do?" Yuan Chenhao was quite curious.
"When selling IOUs, the interest is increased by three times, plus the credit of the imperial court, if it is not repaid when due, the arrears will be paid with the tribute of the secret country, so that someone is willing to buy it. ”
Yuan Chenhao nodded, "It's feasible, I'll order the household department to start preparing for this." He looked at Xiao Yue and asked, "Young Master Wen, can you help the household department draft the details of this matter?"
Xiao Yue remembered that Wen Youyu had mentioned to her before that the emperor might ask her if she was willing to serve the imperial court, and she had already thought of a standard answer, "Serving the country, people of insight will not refuse." ”
When Yuan Chenhao heard this, Long Yan Dayue was about to ask Xiao Yue if she was willing to go to the household department, but Xiao Yue poured cold water on her.
"The grass people are now the master of the Hubu Wen Youyou, the master Wen does his best for the country, everyone knows, as his master, his business is my business, he serves the country, the grass people will also do their best to assist him, as long as it is beneficial to the United Kingdom, the grass people will do their best to serve the country. ”
This speech made Yuan Chenhao's face red for a while, green for a while, and he couldn't say anything, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence,
"Well, it's good, I'm tired, you can step down. ”
When Xiao Yue heard this, she was secretly happy, "Obey the order, and the grass people will retire." She bowed to Yuan Chenhao, forgot to kowtow and thank her, and left happily.
Yuan Chenhao looked at her brisk steps, shaking her head and tail happily, angry and funny.
Xiao Yue's first official meeting with the emperor ended like this, it was almost as she imagined, and she didn't even feel uncomfortable seeing Yuan Chenhao for the first time, after all, it was a memory of her humiliation.
However, this time Yuan Chenhao also left a good impression in her heart, this person likes to use his brains and her views are very consistent in many places, if it weren't for the fact that he is the emperor, maybe he can become a friend to talk to.
On the way back from the palace, Xiao Yue was not in the mood to admire the magnificent palace buildings, nor did she talk to Wen Youyou, who was worried on the side, she just recalled today's conversation with Yuan Chenhao over and over again, and felt that after a war of words between each other, no one took advantage of anything.
