Several people came out of the refugee shed, and Lin Yanxi looked past several people and looked at Luo Wanwan, who was standing at the end.

Luo Wanwan's expression was very sad, she cautiously followed behind everyone, and after touching Lin Yanxi's gaze, she smiled at her.

Lin Yanxi, Shen Muzhou, and Luo Jingxin returned home in the same carriage.

The atmosphere in the carriage was slightly weirdly awkward.

Luo Jingxin pretended to smile generously and said, "Yan Xi, just now I saw that you promised a three-day deadline in the refugee shed, but you already have a plan in mind?"

Lin Yanxi's eyes stared at her for a while, and then said a little stiffly, "Not yet."

Luo Jingxin said tentatively: "Also, with the help of the prince, don't worry too much?"

"If there's anything I can do to help, let me know and do everything I can to help my sister succeed."

She speaks with earnest and gentle tones that make it impossible to find fault.

Lin Yanxi replied, "Thank you, Lord County."

Luo Jingxin's eyes stared at her for a moment, then smiled meaninglessly, and staggered his eyes.

After returning home, Shen Muzhou directly pulled Lin Yanxi back to his yard.

Luo Jingxin stood in the palace, and said to the little maid behind him with anger in his eyes, "Go and tell Shen Yu that I am going to see the Wang family now."

Lin Yanxi followed him into the study and sat on a chair.

Shen Muzhou took out a booklet for her and handed it to her.

"What is this?" She asked.

Shen Muzhou opened the booklet and said, "Whoever sells goods is taxed twenty dollars per thousand yuan."

"This is the commercial tax payment recorded in the Southern Min Capital City during the year."

Lin Yanxi opened the booklet and looked at a few pages, and the booklet was ranked according to the amount of taxes.

The top five are all people who have been doing business in the capital for generations, and the sixth place is the traveling merchant of Dongyang.

"The Wang family, who is willing to donate silver, is actually ranked seventh. Didn't the first few people lobby?" Lin Yanxi asked.

The little girl looked extremely seriously, her white and slender fingertips slowly swiped down with her gaze on the booklet, Shen Muzhou sat opposite her, and the corners of her lips rose slightly when her eyes fell on her.

Shen Muzhou couldn't help but rub her bun, "It's quite serious."

Lin Yanxi replied, "Of course, I bet on the Taifu Mansion and the Muwang Mansion."

Shen Muzhou's gaze fell back on the booklet, "It's a pity that these businessmen in the front have been in business for generations, and their names have been very loud after precipitation, and the flag erection in the refugee shed has little impact on them."

"And this year's tax revenue is obviously much lower than last year's, which shows that their business situation is also declining, and Nam Min is in the midst of a disaster, and no one dares to raise donations rashly."

Lin Yanxi said: "Then looking at it this way, it is true that the Wang family is the most suitable, and the reputation of Yuxifang, which is run by the Wang family, is not as good as before, so I can take this opportunity to rebuild the momentum."

"And how much did they donate?"

The more she talked, the more energetic she became, if the Wang family was suitable, she could start with the Wang family, let them add some disaster relief funds, and drive other businessmen to donate together.

Shen Muzhou looked at her with a sparkling look in her eyes with a faint expectation, "One hundred taels."

Lin Yanxi nodded and said with satisfaction, "One hundred taels of gold is okay."

"Silver." He whispered.

Lin Yanxi was surprised, "What? One hundred taels of silver? That gentleman in his family will have a hundred taels to eat two meals in the restaurant."

She looked under the roster and found that most of the merchants at the back of the queue were merchants from Dongyang or the Western Regions.

"That, that's this, Dongyang businessman, he does business between Dongyang and Nanmin, now Nanmin is in drought and there is a shortage of materials, Dongyang's goods are in demand, and now he can get rich and flowing."

"Making a name for himself through disaster relief is also very suitable for him."

Shen Muzhou flicked her forehead and smiled helplessly, "Then you can't force people to donate just because the merchant makes money. The main reason is that these Dongyang merchants have a very low status in Nanmin, and they are unwilling to pay for disaster relief."

In the face of disasters, everyone is in danger, and disaster relief is even more difficult because it is all about will.

"It's so hard." She curled back in her chair in discouragement, looked at the booklet and flipped it back.

Shen Muzhou reminded: "There is no need to look at it later, the income of small businesses this year is subtracted from the rental shop, the cost, and then the tax, barely making ends meet."

"What? Are you going to give up?" He laughed.

Lin Yanxi's sad little face was all together, looking like an angry little rabbit.

She glared at him and complained, "Why do you look like you're gloating. Do you know what terrible things can happen if I don't raise the money?"

Shen Muzhou's smile meant to be half a point of convergence, quietly watching her and waiting for her next words.

"These refugees will rush into the city and plunder, the officers and soldiers will not be able to control it at all, and Nam Min will be hit hard before the problem of the disaster can be solved."

His smile retracted, and he looked at her seriously, as if he didn't understand the meaning of her words.

She always does this and will say something inadvertently.

Lin Yanxi was a little frustrated by him, and pulled out a smile unnaturally, "My mother still has some dowry, which should last a few days."

Shen Muzhou said: "Don't even think about it, it was left to you by your mother, even if you really can't help it, if you want to use it, you will use the money of my Muwang Mansion."

She glanced at Shen Muzhou's study, the desks and chairs were all ordinary beech wood, and the grinding of the inkstone was nothing special.

It can be seen that the prince's income is not high.

"Don't worry, lord! I'll figure it out."

She got up and walked out in a huff, and after a while she turned back to pick up the book on the table.

---

Luo Jingxin wore a curtain fence in the wing room on the top floor of the Bao Yu Building.

After a while, a middle-aged man walked into the wing, and a woman sat behind the screen, and he saluted respectfully to the screen, "I've seen the county lord of Chaoyang."

Luo Jingxin smiled and said, "I'm tired of the old man who ran this trip himself."

Master Wang worriedly wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead with his sleeve, a few days ago, the five princes had to let the rebel son in the family donate any silver for disaster relief, and today he is the lord of Chaoyang County, and he will not let him donate money again.

He looked unhappy and said, "I don't know what the county lord is looking for to discuss."

"If it is a disaster relief, if the county lord needs it, my Wang family is duty-bound, the business of Yuxifang has not been as good as before, this is all the belongings of my Wang family, I hope the county lord will smile and accept it, and I can say a few good words for the Wang family in front of all the nobles in the royal family."

He took the initiative to bring it up and pulled out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve.

Luo Jingxin slowly walked out from behind the screen, her eyes glanced at the silver ticket on the table and smiled: "Master Wang, is this treating my Anchang Mansion as a beggar along the street?"

The silver ticket on the table could be about three hundred taels.

The Wang family's financial resources don't stop there.

Master Wang hurriedly knelt on the ground, although the county lord of Chaoyang was a woman, but his status was noble, and he could not afford to provoke him.

The status of a merchant in Nanmin is extremely low, and if he can have a relationship with someone in the royal family and become an imperial businessman, it will be different.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Luo Jingxin glanced at him and said, "Get up, you don't need to pay money for this today, as long as you do it, it will naturally be profitable."

Master Wang stood up tremblingly, not knowing what she meant, and he didn't dare to answer casually.
