Chapter 181 Emperor Halo(1/2)

Although Kou Weisha knew that the money belonged to the emperor, she also believed that Guo Dan would not lose his life for this little money, and would definitely help the emperor make money. However, she still couldn't understand why Guo Dan had to throw so much money out. Even if Masai was really profitable, there was no need to do so.

But she didn't ask too much, because she also believed that only by constantly thinking can she make progress, rather than just listening or watching.

South suburbs.

"The young master of the Xu family has endless magic power, chasing wind and electricity, riding first, if anyone doesn't accept it, others will be noisy."

On a weeping willow path by the river, Xu Chun and a group of idle men stood on the side of the path and shouted in unison, all of whom were hoarse and their veins were exposed.

There were also a group of idle men standing opposite each other, glaring at them, and they were all servants. You prepared slogans and didn't tell them in advance. It was so unfaithful.

There were also a group of gorgeous young men standing by the river, who scoffed at Xu Chun's slogans.

"Xu Jirong is becoming more and more shameless. He dares to claim to be the best in riding skills in this capital."

"What else is there to be boundless magic power? Chasing wind and electricity, it's so ridiculous."

"Hey... he doesn't even know a few big words. It's good enough to think of a few idioms."

"I hope the Shouta can teach him a good lesson today."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "Go!"

"Here you come!"

They looked at the sound and saw a flying ride on the path, followed by thick dust.

"Young Master, it's your master."

Xu Chun jumped up in surprise, and then they shouted loudly: "Brother Xu, his magic power is boundless, chasing the wind and electricity..."

And those young men sighed.

In a moment, Xu Jirong rode his horse through the finish line. He pulled the reins, and the horse under his crotch neighed, and his front hooves were raised high. How could he be so handsome?

He looked back and saw a flying cavalry breaking through the dust and coming to him. The man was immediately his old enemy, Li Shouqi.

"How is it? Are you convinced?" Xu Jirong laughed.

Li Shouqi was so dirty by the dust that he was extremely embarrassed. He gritted his teeth and snorted: "You are just lucky enough to win today."

Xu Jirong said: "Then let's go again, how about we bet a thousand taels this time?"

Li Shouqi almost bit his tongue, blushed and dared not answer.

He really couldn't escape Xu Jirong. This prodigal son was ignorant since childhood. When they were studying, this guy was playing with eagles and dogs and riding horses to hunt. If Xu Meng hadn't been suppressed, he would have gone to Mongolia to fight a war long ago.

Moreover, this guy is a famous prodigal son. He threw a thousand taels out without blinking, but they couldn't do it.

At this time, Xu Chunhuan jumped over and said with a flattering look: "Young Master's riding skills have really entered the realm of transformation. I think it is hard for anyone in this capital to compete with you."

"Don't talk about the capital, look at the world, I'm afraid I can't find a few people."

...

For a moment, flattery was like a tide.

Xu Jirong ridden on the horse, laughing wildly.

"Xu Jirong, don't be arrogant. There are many people who are more skilled in riding in the capital than you."

A slightly older young man walked from the river and scolded him angrily.

Xu Jirong glanced at him with disdain and said to Xu Chun: "Chunchun, why did Dandan say that?"

"If you can do it, don't compete blindly."

Xu Chun said immediately.

"That's the sentence." Xu Jirong rode on the horse and glanced at him, "If anyone who doesn't accept it and wants to be bullied, he can come and fight."

"I won't accept you."

"I'll compete with you."

"I also want to see if your Xu Jirong's riding skills can really chase the wind and electricity."

...

These young men were immediately infuriated.

No one can lose to Xu Jirong, a waste. This is why, after Xu Jirong sarcastically sarcastically, Li Shouqi couldn't help but compete with him.

Xu Jirong smiled and said, "So many people want to be bullied, okay, I will definitely satisfy you, but I am tired today, so let's make an appointment another day."

As he said that, he said to Li Shouqi again: "Li Shouqi, if you don't plan to give this money, I won't care."

Li Shouqi said angrily: "I, Li Shouqi, can't afford it?"

His entourage immediately took out fifty taels and handed them to Xu Chun.

"Thank you then."

Xu Jirong said to his group of dog legs: "You can take these fifty taels to drink with you."

"Thank you for the reward of the young master."

"Young Master of the Xu family, his magic power is boundless..."

Amid the slogans, Xu Jirong left arrogantly.

The followers around Li Shouqi were extremely envious. Li Shouqi gave them the most rewards, but they did not have more than one or two taels of money.

Xicheng Horse City.

"When did this horse market become so lively."

A rich man looked at the horses, shook his head and tail, and couldn't help but be surprised. He looked around and suddenly walked towards a white horse. After looking at it, he asked the horse vendor, "How much does this horse cost?"

"Young Master has such a good eye. This is a top-notch horse, sixty taels."

"Sixty taels?"

The rich man almost fell out his eyes and pointed at the horse and said, "You only need sixty taels for such a horse, at most thirty taels."

The horse dealer said, "Now thirty taels can only buy a horse waiting for you."

The rich child said in surprise: "When did this horse price rise? And so much?"

"It's just that it's rising in the past few days." said the horse dealer.

"Strange, there is no war now, why is the price of this horse rising?"

...

...

To the north of Mashi Street, there is a yard called Beifang. Because it is in this commercial center and is relatively close to the inner city, all the wealthy businessmen live here.

Among them, there is a large family. The head of the family was Jiang and his name was Shiyou. He was the leader of Guanya. He can be said to be one of the most wealthy businessmen in the capital. He is not of the same class as the Kou family and the Liu family.

I saw a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a strong beard sitting on the main seat of the Jiang family's lobby. This person was Jiang Shiyou, and there were three people sitting below.

The first person on the left is a short, fat middle-aged man with a natural smile, whose name is Zhao Fengyuan.

The one next to him with a bitter face is named Mao Shen.

The serious and serious person sitting on the right is Xiong Feng.

The four of them are the four famous officials in the capital.

In fact, this official teeth are also a private transaction, but they have an official background, and the court gave them tooth stickers, which allowed them to balance prices and assist the court in collecting commercial taxes.

This is why they monopolize trade, and the goods entering and leaving the capital have to be handled by them, because they have to help the court collect taxes.

How much benefits are there, and there is no cost.

In fact, the profits were even greater in the past. In the past, the Liu family and the Kou family were all illegal. However, in recent years, the court system has been relaxed and the complete monopoly of official teeth has led to merchants being quite resentful about this. Many merchants were forced to close the door by these official teeth, so the court allowed private teeth to develop to balance the official teeth.

But even so, the official's monopoly is still very powerful. After all, the trade and prices are still controlled in their hands. As soon as they rise and fall, the money will be obtained, and they have to peel off the goods in and out.

"Brother Jiang asked his brothers to come today, but for the increase in horse prices?"

Xiong Feng said seriously.

Jiang Shiyou smiled and said, "I have also investigated the price of horses. It has risen a little, but it is not because someone deliberately raised the price of horses. It is because Guo Dan contracted ten ranches and was buying horses in a big way recently, which led to the price of horses rising."

Zhao Fengyuan smiled and said, "Recently, that boy Guo Dan is very powerful. He also contracts the enthronement ceremony and the ranch. The scenery has long surpassed us. Now he has raised the price of the horse by himself, so we can't help him reduce it."

Jiang Shiyou smiled and said, "I can't say that, but there is no war in the past recently. Whether the horse price will rise or not will not affect the court, so let it go."

Mao Shen snorted, "I will not help even if it is affected. If that kid had not won the favor of His Majesty, how could I tolerate him? He has never taken our four great officials seriously."

Zhao Fengyuan smiled and said, "I used to think that boy was favored by His Majesty when he went away, but now it seems that this is not the case. He really has some means. If he continues to do so, he might also contract us in the future."

Xiong Feng suddenly looked at Jiang Shiyou and said, "Brother Jiang will let him continue like this?"

Mao Shen said depressedly: "If I could do it, I would have done it long ago. Unfortunately, his Majesty supports him."

Jiang Shiyou smiled and said, "That may not be the case."

As soon as these words came out, the three of them immediately looked at Jiang Shiyou.

Jiang Shiyou said: "It is true that Guo Dan is appreciated by His Majesty, but he also offended many ministers in the court. If we do business openly, there should be no problem."
