Chapter 194: Strategizing is all under control

Seeing that he was so energetic, Xiao Yue also asked anxiously: "What a good idea, come and hear it." ”

Wen Youyou took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "I learned that the emperor is going to join forces first, so I will suggest to the emperor according to what you said, this time I will first select a few loyal ones from these salt merchants and iron merchants to cooperate, buy other businesses, and reduce the number of salt merchants and iron merchants." After a while, the imperial court issued a decree that in the future, salt merchants and iron merchants must obtain the permission of the imperial court, otherwise they cannot operate privately, and in the end only joint ventures remain. So I suggest that you can choose to cooperate with the merchants of the imperial court in the end, and you don't need to come forward. ”

Xiao Yue nodded and said approvingly: "Yes, this idea is very good." She suddenly remembered the father and son of the Li family, so she asked, "Is there a candidate in the emperor's heart?"

Wen Youyu said with a deep taboo: "This candidate is difficult to choose." ”

"Why is it so hard to choose?"

"Many salt merchants and iron merchants have some connection with the officials of the imperial court, and this time they came to Yingjun to see the emperor, but they fattened up a lot of officials first. ”

After listening, Xiao Yue's eyes flickered, and she said with a smile: "Then aren't these people looking for death?"

Wen Youyou was so attracted by her bright eyes that she forgot what she was going to say.

Xiao Yue saw that he was stunned, and pushed him with a pout, "What are you doing?

Wen Youyou came back to his senses and said curtly: "These people are related to the court officials, and most of them will not be so easy to obey the emperor's arrangement, so these people will not be used by the emperor." ”

Xiao Yue nodded and said, "This is also true, but so many people can't find someone who can be trusted?"

Wen Youyou thought for a while and said: "I have seen the list of face saints this time, I think the emperor will definitely choose the kind of person who has an innocent family background and has no close contacts with court officials, but there is also a problem, if there is no close contact with court officials, the emperor will not know much about the other party's situation." ”

Xiao Yue said disapprenously: "The emperor must have a way to test the loyalty of these people, you and I don't have to worry." Besides, this agent was originally temporary, and after the salt and iron franchise in the future, he will also be a businessman who eats official food. ”

Wen Youyou smiled and said, "Xiao Yue can see it." Such a headache will be light when it comes to you. ”

Xiao Yue pursed her lips and said, "This shouldn't be something I should worry about, and I don't want to think about it, but I still have something to discuss with you today." ”

"Eun, you can say it. Wen Youyou got up to help Xiao Yue fill the tea, he also felt that Xiao Yue was originally a woman, and he made up his mind to solve the things he could solve in the future, and try not to trouble Xiao Yue.

"Do you remember the last time you took me to Jinlong Mountain to see the autumn leaves?"

Wen Youyou listened to Xiaoyue's question, and sighed in his heart, for him, this day was like a nightmare, he didn't want to remember, but he couldn't forget it, so he had to nod and sigh.

Xiao Yue didn't notice Wen Youyou's expression, picked up the teacup and told Wen Youyou about the Li family's father and son.

Wen Youyou didn't expect that he would find a passer-by at random to spread the word, and it turned out to be the son of a salt merchant.

He reproached softly: "You like to help, but can you help casually?"

Xiao Yue said indifferently: "I actually just try to keep them thorough, besides, I think the Li family probably has no backstage in the imperial court, otherwise they won't find me, a little master." ”

Wen Youyou sighed, "They don't have a backstage, isn't that even worse! You don't have the ability to be someone else's backstage now!"

Xiao Yue shook her head, "Now there is no backstage comparable to the emperor, wouldn't it be better if the emperor gave them the backstage?"

Wen Youyou looked at Xiao Yue in surprise, "What are you going to do for them, you can leave this matter alone, I just picked you out of these bad things, don't get involved again." ”

Xiao Yue said with a smile: "I'm not stupid, how could I fall into the net, I'm just pointing them out behind my back, whether they are a blessing or a curse or it depends on their own creation." ”

Wen Youyou pretended to be angry and glared at her, "At this time, you don't show up often, obediently recuperate at home, and leave the rest to me." ”

Xiao Yue nodded obediently, and she suddenly said with some seriousness: "I don't know how the situation will develop, but if the Li family really needs help, you might as well help." ”

Wen asked puzzledly, "Do you really want to help them?"

Xiao Yue smiled bitterly: "This is also to help you and me! You just said that you will find a loyal person from these salt merchants to help the emperor do things, so that the emperor will not trouble me." ”

"How do you know they are faithful?"

"They don't have any backstage at the imperial court, and they will listen to the emperor very much. ”

Wen Youyou asked curiously, "How do you know that they will be very obedient?"

Satsuki smiled slyly, "I asked for it." ”

"You?" Wen Youyou was surprised, "You said that if the emperor knew that you were so calculating, how would he feel?"

Xiao Yue snorted and said disdainfully: "If you know, you know, maybe you will thank me." After speaking, she still said a little cautiously: "But I still have to have a close relationship with the Li family and his son, otherwise it will not be fun for the emperor to suspect me." ”

Wen Youyou sighed and stood up a little reluctantly, "Don't worry too much about these things, I'm still in charge of summoning this salt merchant and iron merchant tomorrow, I'll go back and prepare first, you rest early." ”

Xiao Yue heard that the emperor actually let Wen Youyou intervene in this matter, and she said with some puzzlement: "I heard that the emperor said that he might let you be transferred to the ministry, why are you still entrusting such an important matter as the household department to you?"

Wen Youyou put on his cloak and said, "I guess this is my last thing in the household department, and the emperor is already asking me to recommend young officials to work in the household department." ”

Xiao Yue lowered her head thoughtfully, Wen Youyou was distressed when she saw it, "You go to sleep, don't think about this every day, it seems that I am useless more and more." ”

"Hahaha, Master Wen is very powerful now," Xiao Yue knew that he was caring about himself, and comforted: "You go back early, I'll go to sleep in a while." ”

Wen Youyou still felt uneasy before leaving, so she found Yun Yan again and asked her to persuade Xiaoyue to rest early, and only after getting Yun Yan's positive answer did she return to her mansion.

"Childe, don't sit in the study, go back to the room and rest. Yun Yan came to the study and fulfilled her promise.

Xiao Yue knew at a glance that she was instigated by Wen Youyou, and said with a smile: "You are a heavy color and a light friend!"

Yun Yan tilted her head and said funny: "What kind of heavy color and light friends, Lord Wen doesn't care about you yet!"

Xiao Yue was about to refute, but suddenly felt a cramping pain in her abdomen, and she gritted her teeth and fainted.
