Chapter 338 Why not do it?

 Shitou hurriedly took the letter into the study and handed it to Xiao Yu, "Sir, this letter should have been sent by Miss Gu."

Xiao Yu quickly opened it, and there was another layer inside, with Xiao Yushou written on it.

Xiao Yu looked at those three words and was stunned for a moment. Thinking that her name was written by her own hand, his heart suddenly became hot.

 He suddenly became careful in his movements, picked up the paper knife on the desk and opened the letter.

The letter was not long, just one page. Xiao Yu read it, folded the letter as it was, put it into the envelope, tapped his fingers on the table, and chuckled: "This girl is so young and so brave, she actually wants to buy a boat. Go to sea and invite me to come with you.”

Shi Shitou's eyebrows moved, "Then the prince will do it or not?"

A sly smile appeared on Xiao Yu's lips: "Why don't you do something to make money?"

Shitou glanced at him carefully, "But the eldest son is in charge of the fleet in the palace. If the prince does something, will the eldest son -"

Xiao Yu sneered, "I do mine and he does his. I don't interfere with the fleet in the mansion, so it has nothing to do with him."

“In the past few years, my father has given him the management of the fleet, and he has gained a lot of money in private.”

“Why can’t I do what he can do?”

Stone was silent for a while, "Then, do you want to tell the prince?"

Xiao Yu waved his hand, "No need, I use my own money to buy a few boats and go to sea, no one can control them."

"If your father asks me, I will have something to say."

He pondered for a moment, "You don't have to go to the military camp with me tomorrow. You go find Miss Gu to help get this thing done. After that, you let Manager Chen do the shopping. How much money do I need in my private treasury? Get the sign."

The stone responded and stepped back.

The next morning, when Gu Fei opened the door, she heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the street.

She raised her head and looked outside, and saw Xiao Yu riding his horse and stopping briefly at the door. He looked at her deeply and then rode away.

Shitou got off his horse and walked in with a young boy with a smile.

Gu Fei hurriedly greeted him, "Brother Shitou, did you receive the letter from yesterday?"

Shitou smiled and said, "That's why I came here."

“The prince asked me to help the girl get this done.”

Gu Fei was overjoyed and sent Xiaolu to the next door to call Mr. Zhou. He also asked Mr. Zhou to send someone to call Young Master Zhu.

Not long after, Mr. Zhou came over first. While waiting for a cup of tea, Young Master Zhu came over with an old man.

Young Master Zhu first introduced the old man to Gu Fei, "This is Master Yu. He has been running a boat all his life. He was the leader of another fleet before. I specially invited him here."

Master Yu quickly bowed his hand to Gu Fei and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper Gu. I have long admired your reputation."

 Along the way, Young Master Zhu often talked about the importance of taking care of the girl. Whether he can make money from this trip to sea depends largely on whether the girl can attract the prince.

Gu Fei smiled and said, "Hello, Master Yu. Please sit down quickly."

A few people have seen Shitou again. Although Shitou is a young man, he represents the prince, and no one dares to neglect him.

Young Master Zhu took a sip of tea first, and then said: "Since the prince is willing to join the gang, what I mean is that the ships we buy will be put in the prince's name. When the goods arrive at the port, half of the goods will be given to the prince. Brother Shitou, what do you think?"

Usually, when goods arrive at the port, the government takes 10% of the goods, and the officials privately take 10%. In addition, there is a tax of 30%.

Officials privately dare not take a cut of the prince's ship, but they can actually earn half a percent more.
