Wen Youyou looked at Xiao Yue, who was deceiving herself, and said helplessly: "Who knows if he likes men or women, even if someone knows, he doesn't dare to chew his tongue." But whether he likes men or women, I don't want you to see him anymore. ”

Xiao Yue nodded hurriedly, "I don't want to see him either, let's find a way to see if I don't have to see him in the future." ”

Seeing Xiao Yue like this, Wen Youyou was in a better mood, and he smiled and said, "Well, let's figure it out together." If the emperor wants to see you, he must be focusing on state affairs, and if I can help you with these state affairs, I should be able to reduce a lot of opportunities to meet him. ”

"yes, I think so. Xiao Yue listened to Wen Youyou's analysis, and she was not so panicked.

Wen Youyou then asked, "Did the emperor say that he would meet you after the festival last night?"

"Uh-huh. Satsuki nodded. He said it seemed to be for the sake of the salt and iron franchise. ”

Wen Youyou scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "Why do I think I can't do this for you?"

Xiao Yue asked curiously, "Why not?" I will tell you what I think, are you telling the emperor?"

Wen Youyou felt that he could do anything for Xiao Yue, so he stubbornly said: "Okay, you tell me about the salt and iron franchise, and I will talk to the emperor about this matter." ”

"Okay. ”

Seeing that Xiaoyue answered very affirmatively, Wen Youyou's heart was as sweet as honey. In fact, he was selfish, when he found out that the emperor might have a little bit of a good impression of Xiao Yue, he felt full of jealousy in his heart, and now Xiao Yue showed that she didn't have much of a good impression of the emperor, which made him feel a lot more at ease.

At this time, Mu Shi entered the house with hot water, he handed the bowl with hot water to Wen Youyou, and said, "Childe, this is what you want for hot water." ”

Wen Youyou remembered that Xiao Yue's stomach was uncomfortable just now, he took the bowl, and then poured some hot water into the vinegar bowl just now, "Xiao Yue, you drink some vinegar will be better for your stomach." I added some hot water and it was just the right temperature. ”

However, at this time, Xiaoyue knew that there were many ways to not see the emperor, and the stomach pain had already been much better, but in fact, her stomach pain was simply worried about harm.

In the face of Wen Youyou's kindness, she was not easy to refuse, but she first approached the vinegar bowl and smelled it, the vinegar was washed by the hot water, and the sour smell went straight to her nose, she suddenly felt disgusted, so she shook her head and said: "I'm much better, I won't drink this." ”

Wen Youyou asked with concern, "Is it really better?"

Satsuki stood up and made herself look normal, "Look, I'm really much better, and if you can help me solve the matter of not seeing the emperor again, then I will be better." ”

Wen Youyou listened and said happily: "Xiaoyue, don't worry, I will definitely try my best to help you." In his heart, he actually didn't want Xiaoyue to meet the emperor very much, so he picked up the bowl of slightly hot vinegar water, "If you don't drink it, I'll help you drink it." Then he took the bowl and drank it up.

Xiao Yue saw him drinking vinegar water, and she was full of relish, she asked worriedly: "You don't have a stomach ache, what are you doing drinking this, don't you feel sour?"

Wen Youyou smirked: "Not sour, not sour." ”

At this moment, his heart is not ordinary sweet, and when he drinks this vinegar in his mouth, it turns into a sweetness like sugar water.

Xiao Yue looked at him, although she didn't believe what he said at all, but at this moment she clearly knew his infatuation with herself, but she felt that she was destined to let him down.

Wen Youyou asked stupidly, "Then why are you telling me about the salt and iron joint venture?"

Xiao Yue thought that it was better to choose a day than to hit the sun, anyway, she didn't know when the emperor would summon her, "Otherwise, I will start telling you about the salt and iron franchise today, and prepare early." ”

Wen Youyou nodded, "The stupid bird flies first, I think this may really make the emperor not have to see you again." ”

So, Xiaoyue began to explain to Wen Youyou the knowledge related to the salt and iron franchise, from why to the salt and iron franchise to how to franchise, to the difference between the salt and iron franchise and the public-private partnership, how to choose the pros and cons of two different business methods, and so on.

Wen Youyou was originally very bad at the knowledge of economics, but fortunately, Xiaoyue taught carefully and patiently.

However, in the end, it took Satsuki three days for him to grasp some of the points a little.

Wen Youyou lived in Yingyue Xuan for three days, and he felt that the relationship with Xiao Yue was back to before, back to the days when Xiao Yue lived in his own Wenfu Annex.

That time was Wen Youyou's second happy time in addition to being in Qingshan when he was a child.

Even if he learns boring knowledge every day, but when he thinks that this can help Xiaoyue stay away from the emperor and be with her day and night, he feels that no matter how hard it is, it is worth it.

"I understand that this public-private partnership of salt and iron is a transitional plan, through the intervention of the imperial court, the salt and iron business will be managed by one or two big bosses, and then cooperate with them to operate, and finally slowly let them become imperial merchants and earn money for the emperor. Wen Youyou summed up the knowledge that Xiaoyue had taught him in the past three days.

Xiao Yue nodded when she heard this, but she still didn't forget to correct and said: "Actually, it's not up to you to make money for whom, it's not for me to have the final say, it depends on what the emperor thinks." ”

"What does this mean?" Wen Youyou asked curiously.

"The last time I went to check the account books of the household department, I found a problem, the expenditure of the palace and the expenditure of the imperial court are separated, so the income from the salt and iron monopoly should be attributed to the account of the household department, if the emperor wants to share some of the income from this income into the income of the palace, this problem is a bit complicated. ”

Wen Youyou had a headache when he looked at the account books, and he sighed, "I don't understand this, I just understand what you say about how to operate, but I don't understand how to enter the accounts in the final income." ”

Xiao Yue also knew that she was a little reluctant, and she said patiently: "This seems simple, but in fact there is a big difference, let me ask you, according to your understanding of Yuan Chenhao, will he fill his pockets?"

Wen Youyou said with certainty: "That's inevitable." ”

Xiao Yue nodded and instructed: "Then when you see the emperor, you must not say that the salt and iron joint venture is to earn him silver, you tell him that this is to earn silver for the country and the court, so that he will know what it means." ”

Wen Youyou scratched her head, she was still a little confused, and was about to ask a question, Yun Yan knocked on the door of the study, and entered the door directly without waiting for Xiaoyue to speak.

She said with a smile and excitement on her face: "Childe, go to the front hall, there are guests coming!"

Xiao Yue saw that it was rare for her to be so open in front of Wen Youyou, and asked curiously, "Is Fourth Master Yun here?" ”

Yun Yan smiled mysteriously and said, "Childe will naturally know when he goes to the front hall to see it." ”
