Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

Not long after arriving at the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Li Yi'an saw Cheng Yaojin and the others bringing in all the money in carts. Looking at the number of carts, he knew that there were also a lot of servants in their family.

After a while, Changsun Wuji and the others, who hadn't reacted much just now, also came with someone dragging the car.

They just don't want to give it, and they can't help him.

"Dai Shangshu, Li Shilang, this is our roster, and the amount of taxes paid. Please count them."

Changsun Wuji reluctantly delivered the things, and later felt that even cutting the flesh didn't hurt that much.

"Li Shilang, put it away!"

Gao Shilian didn't show any good looks, put down his things and left.

Li Yi'an has always been puzzled, he really didn't offend Gao Shilian, but Gao Shilian was very dissatisfied with his attitude from the very beginning.

After they put their things down, they left separately. Dai Zhou also had to pay taxes and needed to go back to sort out the money. Soon there were only Li Yi'an and another Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs left.

Li Yi'an called Yantiesi's group over and asked them to help count the number.

"Sir, you played a little too big this time. I don't know how many people you have offended. We are also under a lot of pressure!"

Cheng Yaojin didn't leave, but pulled him aside to talk.

"General Cheng, you have wronged me."

Li Yi'an patted his heart and said: "It's not me who can pay taxes to the Lu family. I also want to know who is so wicked and deliberately set the blame on me."

On the other side, Ruan Qingning sneezed, rubbed his nose and thought, can I catch a cold?

impossible!

Cheng Yaojin was taken aback: "You didn't do it, sir?"

Li Yi'an said: "Based on the relationship between me and General Cheng, if I did it, would I not admit it and deliberately lie to you?"

"Probably not very good."

Cheng Yaojin believed it. Sometimes the husband is a little bit bad, but it is not so bad that he will not admit it. He asked puzzledly: "If you didn't do it, sir, who would dare to do it? This is tantamount to helping you." .”

It is not something ordinary people can do to threaten the Lu family to take the initiative to recognize the tax law.

"I also want to know, if General Cheng has the means, he can go and investigate!"

Li Yian shook his head.

Cheng Yaojin felt that a thorough investigation was needed, but he didn't know where to start.

"I also didn't expect the Lu family to make a start. Even General Cheng, you are willing to pay taxes."

Li Yian said again.

"If you don't hand it in, I may lose the position of Duke."

Cheng Yaojin smiled awkwardly, and then said: "However, the tea ceramics and other industries I cooperate with my husband are enough to earn back the money. Recently, I plan to join hands with shopkeeper Fang to buy sheepskins. I will pay for the tax money." No, some of the servants in the family will be removed from slavery later, and all of them will be driven away, so that they can pay less money."

Speaking of this, he patted Li Yi'an's shoulder vigorously, and said with a smile: "Thinking that my husband brought these to me, it doesn't matter if you support him."

Li Yi'an thought that Fatty Cheng's strength was really great, and my shoulders hurt from beating him, so he waved his hands and said, "General Cheng, be careful what you say, you are not supporting me, but His Majesty."

Cheng Yaojin quickly changed his words: "That's right, His Majesty, but..."

His voice suddenly became mysterious: "Sir, tell me the truth, this tax law was not conceived by His Majesty, but from you, sir, right?"

According to his understanding of Li Yi'an, this is definitely possible.

"It's good that General Cheng knows. If I talk nonsense, I can only run away. If I run away, no one will operate those profitable things, and everyone will be out of luck."

Li Yi'an also said mysteriously.

"understand!"

Cheng Yaojin is not a reckless person, but when he thinks of those things that make money, he becomes inexplicably excited: "Western money is really easy to make. I heard from Shopkeeper Fang that Appleton is about to sell our inventory to us these days." If you buy it all, the earnings in this half month are the sum of what we have earned in the past few months."

He rubbed his hands excitedly and said: "If more envoys can come, we don't have to worry about breaking our legs. It all depends on sir. By the way, do you still eat beef? Don't let Ma Zhou know."

Li Yi'an said seriously: "What beef? Farm cattle are the lifeblood of farmers, how can they be slaughtered at will? I heard that the pigs in Wannian County have been spread. General Cheng can send me some pork. Remember that it is pork."

Cheng Yaojin immediately understood and said, "That's right, it's pork."

After sending Cheng Yaojin away, Li Yi'an counted the coins with them, but with so many coins in the cart, they would be exhausted here.

In the afternoon, Wang Rujing suddenly asked someone to come to him, saying that Zai Yunxiang was waiting for him in clothes.

Li Yi'an hesitated for a moment, but still went to that shop.

"Sir, it's finally here!"

Li Yi'an just entered the door, saw Wang Rujing making tea, and continued: "Sir, the tea set you made is really good, it has become the favorite thing of most people in Chang'an."

"It's just to make some money!"

Li Yi'an sat down and said, "You came to see me, what's the matter?"

"Can't I come to see you if it's okay?"

Wang Rujing wanted to see him for a long time, and it was not until the Wang family made a statement today that she could take the initiative to ask Li Yi'an out, and said, "Sir, tell Cheng Zhi to tell me and let me wait for you?"

Li Yi'an coughed lightly. It was still a bit embarrassing for him to admit this kind of thing: "Is there? I forgot to say such a thing."

Wang Rujing smiled even more happily, even a little charmingly, looked at him quietly, and said for a while: "It's enough for me to remember, sir, whether you remember or not, it's not very important, is it just waiting? No matter how long you wait, I don't care. "

Li Yian asked back: "What if it takes a long time?"

Wang Rujing said disapprovingly: "It will be a long time, anyway, I can afford to wait, and I have time to wait, how about you, sir?"

"I have no idea!"

Li Yian didn't know how to answer.

"Then sir, calculate the marriage for me. When should I wait?"

Wang Rujing said again.

"Probably, we have already waited."

Li Yi'an didn't lie either, her current appearance was just like that of Li Changge's Red Luan back then.

"It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of you, right?"

Wang Rujin gently brought a cup of tea to Li Yi'an.

As soon as Li Yi'an drank it, she said again: "After drinking my tea, sir, you are my man."

He almost didn't spit it out, and suddenly realized that every time he met Wang Rujing, he was teased by her, and he hadn't teased her, so it was a failure to think about it.

Li Yi'an also wanted to prove his masculinity, but he didn't dare to act recklessly.

This woman is not simple, not like Li Changge.

If the game goes wrong, he may never run away again.

Even though he told her to wait a while, Li Yi'an didn't know how to express it.

The most important thing is that he calculated exactly that Wang Rujing would be his person in the future, just like he calculated for Li Changge at the beginning.
