Shioshima can change its route at any time, which has no effect on Shioshima itself. Salt can still be shipped to all parts of the world, so they don't have to go through South Tangtan State. It is necessary for Tanzhou to collect taxes, but if the tax is suddenly raised, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction in Yandao.

If Shioshima abandons this road, it will undoubtedly be worse for the fragile treasury of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Therefore, it is impossible for Li Hongji to use this method under normal circumstances, but what Daoist Wuyazi said is too reasonable, which makes Li Hongji very excited.

Venerable White Lotus said: "Daoist Wuyazi, although what you said is very reasonable, but you are not the boss of Yandao, if Zhao Pu really changes the route, what can we do? ”

"Venerable White Lotus taught me that I am not the boss of Yandao, why do I dare to say this?" Tianya said embarrassedly: "Have you ever heard of taking tomorrow's money and doing today's things. ”

Take tomorrow's money and do today's things? How can you ever hear this saying, in this era, there are no banks, not even money banks.

"What does Daoist Wuyazi mean this time, how do I get tomorrow's money?"

Tianya said: "Every year in Tanzhou, a tax of 60 Wen is charged per catty of salt, and in December every year, it is 720 Wen. ”

"No, a pound of salt can only be taxed once, do you think it will come and go once a month?" Gu Guozhang couldn't understand Tianya's theory, a pound of salt is 60 Wen This is absolute.

"Let's put it this way, 70 wen in January and 50 wen in February, so that the total number of January and February will not change, right?"

It is easier for Tianya to understand this, everyone nodded, and there is no problem with this statement.

"It's August now, and the direct civilization announcement is that 80 wen will be taxed per catty of salt in August, September and October, and in addition, 40 wen will be taxed in November and December. In this way, the extra three months of taxes can solve the worries of Shouzhou first, and then at the end of the year, it will be a little tighter. Isn't this just using tomorrow's money to do today's things?" Tianya said: "As long as there is an announcement from the imperial court, Zhao Pu will understand that this is clearly asking him to borrow money, and he will not have any opinions." ”

"This method is good, although it is to dig the east wall to make up the west wall, but at least it can solve the urgent need first. Li Hongji admired: "Sure enough, it's too correct to come to the Wuyazi Dao Elder to discuss this matter, in fact, as long as you change your mind, this matter is not difficult." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has won the prize, this method is just a trick, if you want to prosper economically, you still have to rely on foreign trade with the Khitan. Tianya said: "Yelu Zhen is also very concerned about this matter, this is a mutually beneficial thing, he will definitely take the initiative to come to Nantang to discuss this matter with His Majesty." ”

Li Hongji nodded, these two big problems have been solved, although only a method has been found now, but the method is very good, and it is completely certain that these two methods will work.

Gu Guozhang said curiously: "You...... Who are you? Could it be that you single-handedly planned the seizure of power in Jiangxi and the affairs of the king's lord?"

Gu Guozhang was very curious about Tianya's identity, until Li Hongji came here, Gu Guozhang was just curious about Tianya's martial arts, and felt that his martial arts were very strong, at least compared to his peers, Gu Guozhang had never seen anyone higher than Tianya's martial arts.

But now, Gu Guozhang has no interest in Tianya's martial arts, he only cares about who Tianya is. The biggest problems in Nantang are just a few words in his eyes. This kind of mind is definitely not an ordinary person, and even Zongxin may not be able to solve these things so easily.

Li Hongji said: "Gu Darttou, here's the thing, Daoist Wuyazi was originally on the side of the King of Chu, and at that time, the King of Zhennan in Jiangxi was preparing to kill the King of Chu to seize power, and Daoist Wuyazi specially went to help. As a result, Daoist Wuyazi did not take action personally, but by training our two brothers, let us solve this problem by ourselves, and blamed our two brothers for being too unproductive, and it took half a year to learn well. ”

"No wonder...... I'll just say how you are completely different from before, and the result is the credit of the Boundless Son Dao Master. Although Gu Guozhang advocates martial arts, he admires those who have good brains. Sometimes a smart mind is more effective than a strong martial artist, just like the current situation, no matter how good Gu Guozhang's martial arts are, what can he do? But Wu Yazi completely solved these two tricky things in a few words...... That's the real thing.

Li Hongji was quite embarrassed, but he also knew what kind of person Gu Guozhang was, and this kind of person could not be offended. It is very tricky to provoke people like Gu Guozhang, but it is slightly better than messing with Lei Hong.

Messing with Lei Hong is basically a dead end, unless you escape to a place farther away than returning to the skeleton, there is no way to live in the Central Plains, and it is difficult to provoke Gu Guozhang at best.

Tianya said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you also know that I have been visiting the beautiful scenery of Jinling recently, but yesterday Xiang'er and I went to take a look around, and a bridge just happened to collapse. I don't know if we can find someone who is familiar with the vicinity of Jinling to be our guide, otherwise we don't even know where to play. ”

"For small things, I will immediately send a little butler over to take care of life by the way, and you can tell him anything directly, and let him tell him. ”

Gu Xiaoyue said: "Why is there such trouble? I grew up in Jinling, I'll accompany you to play." It just so happens that I've been fine lately. ”

Everyone looked at Gu Xiaoyue, it was absolutely impossible to be a guide for others as her, since it was not for the purpose of being a guide for others, it was intentionally approaching.

The specific reason may need to be investigated, anyway, everyone can see that Gu Xiaoyue's purpose is not pure. Maybe it's because he sees that Wuyazi's martial arts and mind are superior, so he wants to please and get close.

After all, a genius like Wu Yazi wants to be close to everyone, so don't let the prince of Nantang behave very respectfully in this small courtyard.

Gu Guozhang thought for a moment, and then said: "Girl, the Daoist of Wuyazi is indeed powerful, his martial arts are strong and his mind is flexible, but even if we please him, it is useless." I don't have any trouble or purpose, you don't have to be deliberately close. ”

Gu Guozhang is different from others, even if others know, they won't say it, but Gu Guozhang thinks that although this kid is powerful, he is willing to worship himself as a teacher, and it is good to say that his martial arts are inherited. But if he's not interested in that...... There is no need to please him, it is completely enough to be polite, as long as you are not an enemy.

"Dad, this is not your usual style, generally like this kind of big man who has not yet emerged, you will want to be close, and you can also ask him for help in case of trouble in the future. ”

"I don't think there's ......" Gu Guozhang said: "Now my biggest business is to help the transportation of Yandao, the battle between the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Great Zhou, no matter who wins or loses, it has nothing to do with me, my life is going on as usual, and business is going on as usual." For me, the only trouble in this world is Lei Hong, but Lei Hong's favorite son Zongxin is your master, and he also needs my power to transport so much salt from Salt Island, not to mention that we are still brothers, as long as there is no conflict of interest, Lei Hong will not do anything to me. No one dared to touch me except Rejon. ”

Although Gu Guozhang's words are very big, they are indeed true. In this world, only Lei Hong's forces can fight with Gu Guozhang, because the power situation of the two is similar. That's why these two people can't afford to offend, they don't have a good person under them, they are all outlaws.

If they provoke these two people, they don't need to do it themselves, the enemy's entire family will be ransacked by the bandits, even if someone knows that they are the ones who instigated it, what can they do? Who dares to say it and rob him again.

Hades is easy to provoke, and the little ghost is difficult. But the little ghosts are controlled by the king of Hades, as long as the king of Hades gives an order, countless little ghosts will come to cause trouble, who can stand this situation? Not to mention serious people, even Zongxin will be troublesome.

Therefore, Gu Guozhang has no natural enemies, at least on the bright side, there is no enemy, and no one dares to fight against him. Plus the relationship and power of Shioshima.

Everyone knows that the person who can't afford to offend the most is Lei Hong, and the second person who can't afford to offend is Gu Guozhang and Bai Yunfei, because they both have the power of Salt Island, and Salt Island is Lei Hong's industry. If the business of Yandao is affected by offending these two people, it is equivalent to indirectly offending Lei Hong.

Tianya said: "I don't think it's necessary, just find someone to introduce us to what interesting places near Jinling, Miss Gu should have other things to do." ”

"I'm really fine, I just want to relax, I was really busy for a while a while, now it's fine, I just want to go out and play. What's the point of playing alone? The more people there are, the more lively it is, and we can also drink and compete together, isn't that great?"

Tianya glanced back at Xiang'er, and Xiang'er's expression was very weird, because Xiang'er could see the reason. This kind of thing is very uncomfortable, because Xiang'er thinks that Gu Xiaoyue has taken a fancy to her husband.

How long has it been since you were married? So soon, someone is robbing you of a man?

Although Xiang'er did not plan to encircle Tianya for the rest of her life, she let the two live comfortably for a few years, and then allowed Tianya to take a concubine. As a result, who would have thought that someone would fall in love with him so soon, and Gu Xiaoyue was so old, what if she didn't leave?

Xiang'er nodded awkwardly, although she was not very willing, but there was no other way. Because of Gu Xiaoyue's appearance, even if they don't agree, Gu Xiaoyue will stay here and then entangle all day long. Talk to Tianya about this when no one is around.

Xiang'er is still a very reasonable person, if Tianya is unwilling, let him make it clear to Gu Xiaoyue, so as not to entangle the eldest lady. If Tianya is willing, what else can he do? Just castrate him.

Of course, although it can't compare to Tianya in martial arts, after all, it is a pillow person, and Xiang'er can kill Tianya There are too many ways.

"Since Xiang'er agrees, then it will trouble Miss Gu. ”
