Long Wind Crossing - Chapter 115

    Hearing this, Gu Jiusi fell silent.

      , the remaining fourteen were killed by Luo Zishang. And Wang Nianchun’s mother is Mrs. Ji.

    This Lady Ji was born as a dancer. I heard that she was also a noble of the former dynasty, and her family was backward and was charged as a prostitute. Later, she was brought into the mansion by Wang Shanquan because of her good dance and beauty. concubine room.

    The most important reason why Luo Zishang chose Wang Nianchun and Mrs Ji among a group of ladies is that they are easy to control. Wang Nianchun is less than five years old now, and Mrs. Ji has a low status. If she does not rely on Luo Zishang, she has no ability to suppress Yangzhou. Now Luo Zishang is cooperating with Mrs. Ji. Mrs. Ji guards Yangzhou for him, and he is an official in Dongdu.

    No matter why Luo Zishang must stay in Dongdu, but based on his relationship with Mrs. Ji, it is obvious that this million needs to be given in the form of debt, which is obviously not Mrs. Ji’s intention, It means Luo Zishang.

    But Gu Jiusi can’t say too much, too much, it is inevitable that there will be party disputes.

    From this point of view, Luozishang still wants to preserve a strength for Yangzhou. If Daxia issues Daxia bonds across the country, it will naturally guarantee the credit system. Luozishang buys After this, even if you resell it later, you can still have a sum of money. In fact, Daxia will not self-destruct the Great Wall and give up repaying the national debt. Because once you give up, it will be difficult to sell government bonds. And that’s a huge amount of liquidity.

    He suddenly admired Luo Zishang, this person can always find a better way for himself in desperate situations.

    “What do you think?”

    Fan Xuan raised his eyes to look at him, Gu Jiusi looked at Fan Xuan, but said, “I have no idea, I will follow His Majesty’s instructions.”

    Fan Xuan was silent, and after a long time, he finally said: “Luo Zishang told me that this large sum of money needs to be taken out from Yangzhou, he can’t hold down the others, he must give it to me. A reassurance. I understand his difficulties. If I were in his position, I really couldn’t do it. He was willing to give 10 million taels of silver, which has proved his sincerity. What do you think about this matter? ?”

    Gu Jiusi listened to Fan Xuan’s question, he understood that Fan Xuan was hesitating, he thought about it, and said with Fan Xuan: “Wei minister thinks that national debt cannot be released. Opening up national debt is actually based on the trust of the people. It is possible to have a stable political situation and good taxation. The reason why Youzhou debt can run is because my wife has clearly calculated the future fiscal taxation and other income of Youzhou, and has enough repayment ability. But now this money is used on the Yellow River, Can Your Majesty guarantee profits? If not, how dare you open the national debt?”

     “Yangzhou bought the national debt, and then sold it, and the people took over. If the money is not paid by then, what will happen to the reputation of the imperial court?”

    Fan Xuan sighed, he nodded and said, “I understand. But if you don’t give Yangzhou some sweetness, I’m afraid Luo Zishang won’t be able to get the money.”

    Gu Jiusi didn’t speak any more, Fan Xuan raised his eyes and said, “Forget it, go back and think about it again, and I’ll find someone to ask.”

    Gu Jiusi responded, and when she returned to the room, Liu Yuru was leading people to check the ledger.

    Now Shenxianxiang is doing well in Dongdu, and the second batch of rice has also been delivered from Wangdu. Liu Yuru looked at Gu Jiusi’s return, and seemed to be frowning. Ye Yun glanced at Liu Yuru, Liu Yuru coughed lightly, and said with Ye Yun, “I’ll go see Jiusi first.”

    Ye Yun smiled, didn’t say anything, then turned and left, holding the account, thinking about going to count the rice, she was so absorbed, she lowered her head and hurried forward, and suddenly she hit a person. She was hit and almost fell, but the other party grabbed her and said with a smile, “You have to be careful when walking, girl.”

    This voice is very nice, like a clear spring falling into a gorge, Ye Yun looked up in a daze, and there was an extremely handsome face in her eyes. Transparency through the world. Ye Yun was stunned for a while, but after a while, she suddenly came back to her senses, took a step back and said, “I have seen Mr. Jiang.”

    She had long heard that Gu Jiusi’s uncle Jiang He was living in Gu’s mansion, and looking at this face that was somewhat similar to Gu Jiusi, it was not difficult to guess the identity of this person.

    Jiang He raised his eyebrows when he heard Ye Yun’s words: “Yo, know me?”

    “The girl is Ye Yun, the principal of Shenxianxiang. I heard the young lady mention you.”

    Ye Yun replied respectfully, Jiang He couldn’t help but glance at Ye Yun a few more times when he heard this, and said with a smile, “Miss Ye’s temper is such a surprise to me. It seems that the girls around Yuru are all very powerful.”

    Ye Yun lowered her head and said nothing. She has never seen such a good-looking man. This man looks very similar to Gu Jiusi, but he has a little more bearing that Gu Jiusi does not have. Fatal for women.

    Seeing her embarrassment, Jiang He smiled and said softly, “Miss Ye is busy beforehand, so Jiang will not send it.”

    Ye Yun responded calmly and retreated. After she went out, Shen Ming came out of the yard and said happily: “I heard that Ye Yun is here, where is the person?”

    “Miss Ye is gone.”

    The servant smiled and said, “Sir Shen should come earlier next time.”

    Shen Ming was a little unhappy when he heard this: “She doesn’t know how to wait for me.”

    The people next to her pursed their lips and smiled, Jiang He listened and said, “You need to be proactive about chasing the girl.”

    “Who is chasing the girl?!”

    Shen Ming immediately got angry and muttered: “I, I have something to look for him.”

    After saying that, Shen Ming didn’t want to talk to Jiang He, he turned and ran away.

    Liu Yuru sent Ye Yun away, and went to find Gu Jiusi. After Gu Jiusi entered the room, he didn’t speak. He sat in the room with his head lowered, thinking about something. Liu Yuru walked over and said gently, “What’s wrong?”

    “Luozishang promised to give money.”

    Gu Jiusi sighed: “But he said, he can’t just promise, Yangzhou has to spend so much money, there are many obstacles, and we must give Yangzhou some sweetness.”

    Liu Yuru listened and thought: “What he said is not without reason.”

    “I understand,” Gu Jiusi raised his head to look at Liu Yuru, “that’s why I’m worried. It’s impossible to release the national debt to him, because I don’t plan to pay it back. I let Yangzhou pay such a large amount. The money is to weaken Yangzhou, otherwise Yangzhou will watch us and Liu Xingzhi fight each other every day, and if Luo Zishang disagrees, it will simply be a danger to raising tigers.”

    “Your Majesty should also think of it.” Liu Yuru said sincerely, “It’s actually quite simple for Yangzhou to pay the money.”

    “Huh?”

    Gu Jiusi raised her eyes to look at Liu Yuru, Liu Yuru smiled and said: “Jusi, what do you think, the officials in Yangzhou are usually family business, and officials and business are inseparable, right?”

    Gu Jiusi was stunned for a while, both of them are from Yangzhou, Gu Jiusi really understands the integration of politics and business in Yangzhou. Liu Yuru said mildly: “So the Yangzhou officialdom actually represents the interests of Yangzhou businessmen. Once Yangzhou businessmen agree to this matter, there will be no resistance. They want the sweetness, and we will give the sweetness.”

    “Then what is this sweetness for?”

    Gu Jiusi looked at Liu Yuru and asked quickly, Liu Yuru hesitated for a moment, she thought about it, and finally said: “Jusi, why don’t I go talk to Luo Zishang.”

    “Are you going to talk?”

    Gu Jiusi was stunned, Liu Yuru nodded and said, “Yes, I will talk to him in private.”

    Gu Jiusi did not speak, Liu Yuru looked up at him, she understood what he was thinking, she was silent for a moment, and finally said: “I will let Yuner talk…”

    “You go.”

    Gu Jiusi took a deep breath and spoke suddenly, Liu Yuru was stunned for a while, then she said in surprise, “You…you don’t like…”

    “I don’t like it.” Gu Jiusi smiled bitterly, “But I was also a jealous jar, you are a business person, I see that you don’t like it, you can’t talk, see that you don’t like you I can’t talk about it, it seems that I am too careful.”

    Speaking, Gu Jiusi said generously: “So you can talk, as long as your heart is with me, you can go to see anyone.”

    Liu Yuru heard this, covered half of her face with a fan, and laughed lowly.

    “What are you laughing at?”

    Gu Jiusi frowned, pretending to be unhappy: “At this time, you shouldn’t be moved, right?”

      “

    Gu Jiusi also felt that he was a little more sensitive about this matter. He felt that he was wrong, and hurriedly changed the subject: “When are you going to find him?”

    Liu Yuru thought about it for a while, then she turned her head and glanced at the sky outside, then said, “Why don’t you do it now.”

    “Huh?”

    “Nothing?”

    Liu Yuru turned to look at him, Gu Jiusi coughed lightly, and then nodded, “All right.”

    Liu Yuru settled down and asked people to prepare things. She took the map and various budgets she had prepared for the business, changed her clothes, and went to Luofu.

    Liu Yuru went out on the front foot, Gu Jiusi immediately changed clothes on the back foot, and went out. Gu Jiusi followed Liu Yuru all the way. After arriving at Luo Mansion, Liu Yuru paid homage to the post, and Gu Jiusi went around to the backyard, thinking about how to climb over the wall and enter. However, after thinking about it for a long time, he found that it might be a little difficult to go in quietly, and after going in, he couldn’t do anything.

    He was a little depressed for a while, and after thinking about it, he had a brilliant idea again, he hurried to a ready-to-wear store, and as soon as he entered, he said to the boss: “Boss, hurry up, come and give it to me Dress up! Dress me up so well, a woman likes that when she sees it!”

    Luo Zishang was fishing when Liu Yuru sent in the post, and the housekeeper just brought in the post of the Gu family, Luo Zishang saw the unique pattern of the post from the Gu family, his eyelids jumped, and he immediately said: ” not see.”

    “It’s Mrs. Gu Shao.”

    The housekeeper said respectfully, Luo Zishang was stunned, and subconsciously said: “Where is Gu Jiusi?”

    “Master Gu didn’t come.”

    Luo Zishang frowned, he thought for a while, he was a little confused about what Liu Yuru meant by coming alone, but he finally nodded and let someone invite Liu Yuru in.

    Liu Yuru is a female dependent after all, Luo Zishang saw that she could not be as casual as Gu Jiusi, so he went to change clothes first, and then went to the living room.

    When he came to the living room, Liu Yuru was looking at a landscape picture in the living room.

    She was wearing a long navy blue dress, navy tulle, and a white single shirt. Her neck length was suitable. This long skirt showed her slender neck and looked like an elegant lone crane. , fell into his house.

    He didn’t disturb her, and stood quietly at the door for a while, then quietly watched Liu Yuru’s back.

    After a while, Liu Yuru turned around and saw Luo Zishang standing at the door. She was stunned for a while, then she smiled calmly and said softly, “Lord Luo.”

    “Mrs. Liu.”

    Luo Zishang nodded, but called her another name.

    Now she has been in business for a long time, and in the business field, everyone began to use “Mrs. Liu” as her honorary title.

    A woman who can not be attached to her husband’s family is qualified to bear her surname.

    Liu Yuru didn’t bother about the name, she smiled as an answer, Luo Zishang walked into the living room and let Liu Yuru take a seat, after sitting down, Luo Zishang said: “Mrs. Interested in a painting?”

    “This painting was handwritten by Lord Luo, right?”

    Liu Yuru looked at Luo Zishang, but said, “It’s a place outside Yangzhou, and the concubine knows it.”

    Luo Zishang didn’t speak, he took a sip of tea, nodded and said, “Indeed, Mrs. Liu has been there too?”

    “When I was young, my mother would take me to Yinshan Temple every month to pray for blessings. I know this place.”

    Luo Zishang paused while drinking tea. After a while, he changed the subject and said, “Mrs. Liu goes to the Three Treasures Hall without incident. Shouldn’t she be here to talk to Luo?”

    “Of course not,” Liu Yuru took a few drawings from the side, “Yuru came here to discuss a business with Lord Luo.”

    Speaking, she spread the blueprint on the table, Luo Zishang came to the table, looked at the blueprint on the table, and asked, “This is?”

    “This is Yuru’s caravan route in the future.”

    Liu Yuru’s voice was calm, she pointed to the map and said: “The main road of this caravan is water transportation, it will start from Youzhou, reach Yangzhou in the south, reach Sizhou in the west, go overseas in the east, and continue along the road. Converted to land, this transportation network can guarantee the maximum sale of goods to every place at the lowest cost.”

    Luo Zishang did not speak, he quietly stared at the picture, he did not know how Liu Yuru would come up with such a thing, reduce costs by building warehouses, planning routes, and reasonably matching land and water routes , He doesn’t understand how he thinks, how can a woman think about these things.

    Seeing that he did not speak, Liu Yuru continued: “In this route, if Yangzhou wants to go to Sizhou, the Yellow River will be a very critical river.”

    Hearing this, Luo Zishang looked up at her, and the corner of his mouth twitched: “Mrs. Liu is joking, the Yellow River is not suitable for navigation.”

    Liu Yuru shook her head: “Whether the Yellow River is suitable for navigation, let’s see Lord Luo.”

    Luo Zishang did not speak, Liu Yuru posted a second picture, this second picture is Luo Zishang’s plan to manage the Yellow River. The governance of the Yellow River, on the one hand, focuses on repairing the dams, and on the other hand, how to plan the diversion.

    The plan proposed by Luozishang, the river connects to the lowland at the northern foot of Mount Tai from the old road, the terrain is gentle, and the water flow will not be too fast.

    “If Lord Luo’s plan is followed, the Yellow River will be suitable for navigation in the next hundred years.” Liu Yuru pointed to several key points planned by Luo Zishang: “In Lord Luo’s plan, as long as There is a dam opening to the south, and it can be diverted into the Huai River, and the Huai River can pass all the way to Yangzhou. At that time, the caravan can use this water transport to directly enter Sizhou from Yangzhou.”

    Luo Zishang listened to Liu Yuru’s words, stared at the map, and after confirming it again and again, found that Liu Yuru said it well.

    If the Yellow River is managed according to this method, then Yangzhou water transportation will be more developed in the future.

    Seeing him meditating, Liu Yuru began to explain in detail, where to start, what boat to use, and it would take a few days to arrive…

    When Liu Yuru spoke, she was not far from him, she couldn’t be too far apart, because the drawing was so big that he couldn’t see it clearly. But she wasn’t too close. She restrained herself at an extremely decent distance, but at this distance, he could still smell the scent of magnolia that belonged to her alone, wafting over the tip of his nose, making him a little uneasy.

    After a while, Liu Yuru finally finished speaking and looked up at him: “Lord Luo, what do you think of the idea of ​​a concubine?”

    Luo Zishang was awakened by this question, he took a step back without a trace, smiled and said: “Mrs. Liu has a very good idea, but I still don’t understand, Mrs. Liu is here. Why do you say this?”

    “Master Luo,” Liu Yuru lowered her head and began to collect the map, her voice was calm, “I say this because I hope to cooperate with Master Luo. Regarding the repair of the Yellow River, Master Luo can go back and meet those people in Yangzhou again. Discuss and discuss. I just calculated it for you. If this waterway is repaired, all transportation costs will be reduced by at least half. Yangzhou is based on the development of water transportation, and repairing the Yellow River must be a good thing for Yangzhou. And Lord Luo repaired it. After the Yellow River,” Liu Yuru smiled, “Concubine can take this as the cost of Lord Luo’s investment in the concubine’s caravan. In the future, all goods from Yangzhou can be transported in our caravan, and the cost can be reduced by 10%.”

    When Luo Zishang heard this, he nodded and said, “I understand, Mrs. Liu,” Luo Zishang laughed, “This is for my husband to be a lobbyist.”

    “It’s both for her husband and herself.” Liu Yuru took a sip of tea and said indifferently, “Lord Luo, do you want to consider getting some money to enter into the shares of this caravan?”

    This remark made Luo Zishang stunned, and Liu Yuru continued to analyze the profit of the caravan for Luo Zishang.

    Liu Yuru speaks calmly, but this calmness gives people an indescribable sense of trust, feeling that she is not convincing you, but telling you something objective and unquestionable thing.

    “Master Ruo Luo is worried, you can invest money first. After the caravan starts to operate, if you do not want to continue, then every year, I will pay you a part of the money at the original price. Just take this money You lent me, what do you think?”

    Luo Zishang’s heart moved when he heard this.

    Although he is an official, everyone wants his own private property. He knew very well in his heart that if Liu Yuru wanted to do this, as long as she could do it, how much money would be earned.

    Liu Yuru looked at Luo Zishang’s expression, knew that he was moved, and said: “Lord Luo, you don’t need to think too much, this matter is only profitable for you. You only need to do two things now, give money to repair the Yellow River. In terms of money, if the business is good, you can continue to pay dividends; if you lose money, I will return the principal to you, which can be said to be risk-free. After the repair, this is a century-old event that benefits the country and the people. In the future, your name will be on the history. And after the repair, your reputation among the people will be different. If anyone wants to touch you, You have to weigh the people.”

    “It’s so well said,” Luo Zishang thought for a while, “Why is Mrs. Liu still looking for Luo?”

    “The problem is obvious.”

    Liu Yuru took a sip of tea and said without hesitation, “Because you are rich.”

    Luo Zishang was stunned for a while. After a while, he couldn’t help laughing and said helplessly: “Mrs. Liu, you are really…”

    Liu Yuru’s expression did not change, Luo Zishang drank tea, shook his head and said, “That’s it, Mrs. Liu, to be honest, your eloquence is very good, I really can’t think of any reason to refuse. . Then let’s ask two last questions.”

    “Please.”

    “If I say no, what are you going to do with me?”

    Liu Yuru heard this question and looked up at him. Luo Zishang stared at her with great interest, but she never thought she would not answer. However, after Liu Yuru paused for a while, he did answer: “If Lord Luo refuses, I will suggest that Your Majesty levy taxes on all goods from Yangzhou.”

    Luo Zishang made a breathless expression: “As expected, only women and villains are difficult to raise. Then,” Luo Zishang continued, “the last question. I have done this in the past. A lot of things, you still cooperate with me, haven’t you considered what Ye Shian and Gu Jiusi think?”

    Liu Yuru listened to this, and after a long time, she slowly said: “I am a businessman. Your business has nothing to do with me.”

    Having said this, Luo Zishang burst out laughing. He clapped his legs and said, “Mrs. Liu, you really can’t lie.”

    Liu Yuru’s face was still, Luo Zishang slowed down his laughter, leaned back on the chair, stared at Liu Yuru, and said gently, “Mrs. Liu doesn’t tell the truth, I’ll tell you for Madam Liu, what Madam Liu thinks It must be that short-term cooperation doesn’t matter, first get the money and get rid of him later.”

    Listening to this, Liu Yuru was not at all embarrassed to be exposed. Luo Zishang looked at Liu Yuru and waited for her reaction. After a while, Liu Yuru put down the teacup and said indifferently: “Take it. The words are so clear, and the concubine is so embarrassed.”

    “So,” Liu Yuru’s eyes fell on Luo Zishang, “How does Lord Luo decide?”

    “Well, Luo Mou is a natural rebel. If other people come, Luo Mou will probably have to think about it again. However,” Luo Zishang looked at Liu Yuru and softened his voice, “If Liu Boss, I am willing to be deceived.”

    “Oh?” Liu Yuru laughed, “Master Luo is serious?”

    “Really.”

    Liu Yuru got this and showed a gentle smile: “Then do you want to consider getting some more money, I have a project here…”

    Luo Zishang was stunned for a while, and then heard Liu Yuru begin to introduce her next project that was short of money.

    Luo Zishang took a long time to recover. He raised his hand, patted his forehead, and said in pain, “Ah, Boss Liu is really not easy to deceive.”

     “Since you can’t deceive Lord Luo, why don’t you say goodbye?”

    Liu Yuru stood up, but Luo Zishang did not leave her, and sent Liu Yuru out of Luo Mansion.

    After she went out, Luo Zishang stopped in the living room. He looked at the mountain ink painting in the living room. After a long time, he lowered his head and smiled.

    After Liu Yuru went out, she saw Gu Jiusi sitting in the carriage as soon as she entered the carriage.

    Gu Jiusi’s appearance is very suitable for this kind of dress, but he is already very handsome.

    Liu Yuru was stunned for a while, and after a while, she watched Gu Jiusi turn her head, smiled at her, and said softly, “I miss you on the road, so I’ll be waiting for you.”

    Liu Yuru heard him speak like this, and then met those beautiful eyes, her heartbeat could not help beating faster.

    She smiled, lowered her head and said, “Then go home.”

    Gu Jiusi responded and asked Liu Yuru to sit beside him.

    Liu Yuru sat beside him, holding the blueprint in her hand, after a while, she couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud.

    Gu Jiusi was stunned for a while, then said: “What are you laughing at?”

    “Jiusi,” Liu Yuru raised her eyes, looked at Gu Jiusi who seemed to have put on makeup on purpose, and smiled, “The way you are jealous is really unusual.”

    As soon as Gu Jiusi heard this, he knew that Liu Yuru had seen through his mind. He didn’t feel ashamed, and simply said: “Excellent men are never afraid of competition.”

    As he said, he smiled and kissed Liu Yuru: “Especially, Jun is like your husband.”
