CHAPTER XXXI

Gu Ning walked on the ancient streets, and all he saw were quaint streets and lively crowds, Gu Ning believed that he had really crossed over, and what was waiting for him in this unknown dynasty was a blank future.

The people on both sides automatically got out of the way when they saw them, looking at them with strange eyes, as if they were carrying bacteria, after all, they were dressed up ugly, and the people here probably hadn't seen anyone look so dark.

Jixiang's head was about to be tucked into the collar, but Gu Ning was completely unaffected, just looking at the things around him, for Gu Ning, these things are rare in modern times, these are all handicrafts.

Shangguan Hao, who was sitting in the private seat on the second floor of the teahouse, was taking a sip of tea and was about to swallow it, when he glanced out the window, and suddenly "poof" sprayed the face of the person opposite, looking at the black lines on the opposite person's head, Shangguan Hao said calmly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

I saw that the man took out a handkerchief and calmly wiped his face, "I don't know what made His Highness so out of shape?" After speaking, he also glanced down the window.

"Oh, nothing. It's just that I suddenly want to see what your face looks like. “

The young man sitting opposite Shangguan Hao had a jade-like face, even if he encountered the embarrassing moment just now, it seemed to be a trivial matter, and it was not enough to shake him at all.

"It's not like you, let's say, we've been friends for so many years, do you think you can hide it from me?"

At that glance just now, he also saw it, if it weren't for someone or something below that he noticed, he wouldn't be like this at all. But he also took a look, and found no difference between the streets of today and the past.

Since Shangguan Hao refuses to speak, then he will not force him to do so, this is the tacit understanding between the two, although they are friends, some things still maintain a certain distance, after all, he is the young owner of the first village in the world, and His Royal Highness King Ning of the court seems to be an incompatible relationship.

"What are you asking me to do today?"

"You know, I have a batch of goods in my hand, but the court has always hoped that these things, our first village in the world can hand them over by themselves, but we are businessmen, since the court wants it, then we have to give a reasonable price, this is still based on our friendship. ”

Shangguan Hao knew what he was talking about, no one knew where the first village in the world came from before, and people didn't want to do business under the emperor's nose at the beginning, but it slowly became bigger, and in the end, basically the business had been quietly opened to every corner of the Great Zhou, and some even had opened to the land of barbarians. A lot of small shops have unrelated names, but I didn't expect that it was theirs in the end, which is really unguardable, at this time the imperial court began to get nervous, and wanted to send someone to contact, saying that it was to contact, but in fact, it was also a soothing, how could people agree?

In the end, the emperor still sent King Ning out, and the two competed against each other from the beginning to the hands-on competition later, so they became confidants and friends without fighting or knowing each other, which was also something that the two did not expect at the beginning.

Of course, the task sent by the emperor still has to be completed, Shangguan Hao negotiated with the old owner of the first village in the world that they will no longer do barbarian business, pay 40% of the tax every year, take the documents signed in black and white, and return to the capital to resume their lives.

Along with the young owner of the world's first village, the old owner felt that although his son was smart, but he still wouldn't deal with major things, he wanted to go out to experience and experience, and it was the best choice to follow King Ning, at least the safety was guaranteed, and the two also felt a little sympathetic to each other.

Of course, Lou Xi is willing to go out to the capital to have a look, after all, he has not been to the capital since he became an adult, and his family's business is not there, so he is too lazy to understand the situation in the capital, not to mention that although Lou Xi is a weak person, there are many officials in the capital, and he may not be able to cause right and wrong. So in general, he rarely sets foot in this kind of crowded place.

Of course, the emperor was still dissatisfied, thinking that he could take it by force, and later after King Ning assured them of their annual supply of food and military supplies, the emperor relented, but also asked to restrict them from continuing to develop.

After all, the feeling that the country's economic lifeline is not in his own hands is still very uncomfortable, and the emperor is also worried, if anyone has objections at that time, then he is old, and the prince is so ambitious, only King Ning's child is okay, but since the war, it is the people of the world who suffer.

The first village in the world just wants to do business, but he doesn't have much interest in power, if it weren't for this, the emperor wouldn't let go easily.

"It's a bit tricky for the court to eat all of your goods, now the treasury is empty, and the people's taxes are already very heavy, if it goes on like this, the country will die, I can only guarantee to pay you thirty percent of the silver taels first. ”

"Thirty percent is too little, at least fifty percent, my people escort it over, and it costs money, food and drink, horses, all of which are the first in our world, how about it?"

King Ning pondered for a while, "In this way, forty percent, thirty percent of the treasury will be released, and I will think of one percent of the silver money." ”

Lou Xi picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Yes, this is the minimum, it can't be less, I won't move anything without a piece of silver." After all, friendship is friendship, and trading is transaction. This is still for your sake, the next sixty percent, every year from the world's first village tax silver, of course, you can rest assured, should be handed over to the imperial court, or will pay, after all, the treasury also needs silver, I can't let you take over an empty shell. ”

"Ahem" King Ning glanced at the man opposite, "It's too early to say this kind of thing." After speaking, he also picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, and when he remembered the figure he saw before, there was no trace of her on the street.

Fortunately, he gave Ah Da a look just now, and motioned for him to follow and see what the situation was, he should have come back now.

"If His Royal Highness is fine, then Yuxi will leave, this capital is really not suitable for staying for a long time. ”

"Don't worry, with me here, no one dares to beat your idea. ”

With the exposure of the world's first village, this young owner has also provoked countless red faces, but this is an unintentional person, looking at them as only people are pink skeletons, without a trace of waves.

It's just that King Ning suffered, and every time he had to send someone to settle these things, Ah Da Ah Er also had a headache when he saw this young owner, and he would rather train in the secret base for two hours than be his bodyguard.
