"It's okay, I can't look for you?" Lan Yu said with a glare.

Lan Bin's face was full of smiles: "Yes, of course I can!"

Lan Yu had something on her mind, so she didn't have the heart to laugh with Lan Bin, she looked at Lan Bin, and when she came to her mouth, she couldn't say anything. In the end, I can only find some trivial matters in the house, the recent status of Yizi Lan Chen's wife and children, etc., as topics.

Lan Bin answered honestly at first, but after answering a few words, he found that Lan Yu obviously looked absent-minded, and couldn't help but say, "Dad, do you have something to tell me?"

"If there's anything, just say it, twist and pinch, it's not your style!"

"It's nothing, I'm a little unhappy in my heart, and I want to talk to someone!" Lan Yu looked at Lan Bin and reluctantly smiled.

In fact, he wanted to talk to Lan Bin about business taxes.

Although he knew that Lan Bin was doing things for the emperor, he didn't do anything wrong. However, many of his old brothers are against commercial taxes. In front of him this morning, in front of him, Yin and Yang said a lot of unpleasant things.

At that time, he didn't care about it until the early court, when the civil officials impeached Lan Bin, and when he stood up to speak for Lan Bin, only two or three old brothers echoed him.

From that moment on, he realized that Lan Bin stood in line to support business taxes, and the gap between him and his gang of old brothers was not like he quarreled with those old brothers before, if he quarreled today, he could be reconciled tomorrow.

If you don't do it, you will have a grudge and a grudge.

He didn't want to go to the hostile side with his group of old brothers who came out of the sea of corpses and blood, so he planned to let Lan Bin take a step back and not get involved in the business tax.

But think about it carefully, Lan Bin has already expressed his attitude of supporting commercial taxation, and how to withdraw.

I'm afraid that it will end up in a two-sided unflattering situation.

After thinking about it, he decided not to say anything.

After all, no matter how close those old brothers are, they are not as close as his sons, not to mention that he is such an only son as Lan Bin.

Lan Bin couldn't see Lan Yu's duplicity, and said, "Dad..."

"Alright, I'm going to read, you go and get busy with yours!" Sapphire waved her hand.

Reading? Look at the ghost!

You don't know that your study is just a decoration, there are so many books in the room, have you read one?

No, are you literate?

Lan Bin tugged at the corners of his mouth, and wanted to say something, but saw Lan Yu pretend to get up and go to the bookshelf to get the book. I knew that it would be useless to ask any longer.

He endured it: "Okay then! Dad, I'll go back first!"

The sound fell, got up and took one last look at Lan Yu, and left the study.

Walking out of the study, the more Lan Bin thought about it, the more he felt that Lan Yu had something to hide from him, so he summoned a subordinate and ordered, "Let the housekeeper come to my study and find me!"

"Yes, young master!" The servant nodded, and turned to the butler.

Lan Bin stopped slightly, glanced at Lan Yu's study, and went straight to his study.

Not long after he arrived at the study, the housekeeper Lan Wu hurriedly came: "Young Master, you are looking for me!"

"Blue Five, do you know what worries my father??" Lan Bin pointed to the chair in the study and asked Lan Wu to sit down before he said.

Lan Wuyi was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Young Master, you embarrass me, how can I know the master's troubles!"

"What's going on in that house lately that worries my father?" Lan Bin looked at Lan Wu and said again.

"There's been nothing big going on in the house lately, but..."

Lan Wu suddenly remembered something, looked at Lan Bin, and said tentatively, "Young Master, did you say that the master was upset because of your Daming Daily, Young Master?"

"You mean—" Lan Bin's mind moved, thoughtful.

Lan Wu nodded: "Young Master, you support commercial taxes, but many nobles, especially some old friends, are against commercial taxes."

"In addition, the Daming Daily, which you founded, young master, openly supported commercial taxation, which led to a surge in the support of commercial taxation by the imperial court and the people. And those who oppose commercial taxation hate you to the core, young master."

"By the way, young master, you may not know that many civil officials were impeached this morning

Master. And among the nobles, only the old master, and the young master cousin, there are only two or three people who speak for the young master."

Lan Bin suddenly realized that Lan Yu was caught between him and Lan Yu's old brothers because of business taxes, and he was in a dilemma.

Thinking about it, he is not a native of the early Ming Dynasty, and he has a general relationship with the uncles and uncles in the nobles, plus he is a later generation, and his concept is very different from those uncles and uncles.

He felt that the imperial court collected commercial taxes to generate revenue for the imperial court, which was conducive to the imperial court and benefited the people. And those nobles don't necessarily think so, and their purpose of following Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world is also very simple.

Either he can't live anymore and eats with Zhu Yuanzhang, or he is for glory and wealth.

Whatever they were for, they were more for themselves than for the court.

In this way, it was only a matter of time before he and Lan Yu's old brothers had a conflict. And Lan Yu is caught in the middle, and it is naturally a matter of time.

Thinking about it, he muttered, "Alright, I got it! Go ahead and get busy!"

The sound fell, and he got up and walked out of the study.

Lan Wu followed and got up: "Young Master, where are you going?"

"My dad is upset, I'm going to have a couple of drinks with him!" Lan Bin put down a sentence and walked out of the study without looking back.

He didn't know Lan Yu's heart knot, so he didn't forget it, now that he knew, he naturally couldn't watch Lan Yu embarrassed.

What's more, Lan Yu's heart knot is still caused by him.

A moment later, Lan Bin came to Lan Yu's study again.

At this time, Lan Yu was still sitting in a chair behind the bookcase, holding a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War in his hand. It's just that Sun Tzu's Art of War in his hand is taken upside down, and obviously his mind is not on the Art of War.

"Dad, don't think about it, let's go, go to the dining room, I'll have two drinks with you!" Lan Bin stepped forward and took away Sun Tzu's Art of War from Lan Yu's hand.

"I don't want to drink today, you go and get busy! Leave me alone!"

Lan Yu came back to his senses, took back the Sun Tzu's Art of War that Lan Bin had taken away, and waved his hand: "Let's go!" Don't disturb me reading!"

Lan Bin raised his eyebrows, and said, "Dad, I know that I support commercial taxes, and those uncles and uncles oppose commercial taxes, so you are caught in the middle!"

"But I think you have the time to struggle here, so you might as well persuade those uncles and uncles, and ask them if the silver is more important or the title is more important!"

"What do you mean? Bin'er, did the emperor tell you something?" Lan Yu subconsciously wanted to deny it, but when she heard Lan Bin's words, she was startled and said hurriedly.

Lan Bin said angrily, "Dad, you overestimate me, right? The emperor has something to say to my child?"

"And what do you mean by that?" Lan Yu frowned.

Lan Bin looked at Lan Yu and guided, "Dad, what do you think the emperor values most?"

"What do you value?" Lan Yu didn't react for a while, and said suspiciously.
