Chapter 1429: My money is otherwise useful

Liu Qinghan didn't answer me, but put the brief letter on the table silently, and folded himself carefully. His eyes were lowered, he couldn't see exactly what the eyes were, and only said, "He asked you to ask I?"
I said, "I want to know why."
"..."
"I didn't mean to blame you, because I know that you have your own reasons for doing things, and there are reasons why you must do it. I just want to know why."
"..."
"Why did you return his letter intact?"
Without raising his head, he slowly said, "What's in his letter, do you know?"
I froze and said softly, "I, I know. He wants--"
Before I finished speaking, he had already planned my words and said calmly, "I know that."
"..."
"The situation in the world has reached this stage. Fighting is inevitable. Fighting means spending money. However, in the past few years, I have been in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Although the New Deal has achieved initial results, the money has not been completely returned to the national treasury. Those powerful gentry from all over the world are thinking of ways to grab money from the country. Although the tax system has been changed in some places, local corrupt officials and those powerful people have already levied taxes and fees before five or six years. "
I couldn't help but take a breath.
Although I know that the situation in many places is not optimistic, but I really heard him say so, and I realized that it was really so bad.
Even though he and those young officials supported the emperor's new policy and reformed the tax system, the court's ill-fated old ills have made the world embarrassed. They need to change, but they are also struggling.
What I was about to say, he went on to say: "The court is going to fight now, and there is no money in the treasury, so it is natural to find someone to pay this money."
"..."
He looked up at me and said, "Taxation has never been better, but Yangzhou has been exploited for so many years, and the wealth of the people has been almost exhausted. Besides, it is close to Jinling. Strategically, Yangzhou is also an important one. Locally, the emperor didn't want to offend people in Yangzhou anymore, so he planned to get the money from Xichuan. "
"..."
"Am I right?"
I nodded. "He means that."
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xichuan has not experienced any wars in these years, and is independent of the dynasty. The people have cultivated for so many years. How rich are they? It is probably more useful for Qing Han's family to make a random sum of money than to copy a few Nangong families. "
I said, "Will you pay this money?"
He looked up at me and said calmly, "I don't take that letter, the attitude is obvious, why do you ask again?"
I took a deep breath: "Why?"
He calmly said, "My money is of other use."
"..."
This is no longer an unexpected answer. After eating crickets on the street last night, I felt that he seemed to be very nervous about his money-Yan Qinghan in the end Rich. After all these years of operation, I think this wealth is amazing. It allows people who take over this wealth to control the money. There is only one answer.
He's also using money, and he's spending a lot of money.
This is puzzling.
Previously, Yan Qinghan led the fleet to go out to search for Folang machine guns. So much cost did not affect his property. Now, what exactly does Liu Qinghan want to do to keep him tight?
I looked at him with a dignified tone: "What the are you doing?"
"I can't tell you yet."
"..."
He looked up at me, his eyes flickered for a moment, and he said, "But I think you can actually guess."
"..."
"Even if you can't guess, it won't be long before you see it."
"..."
"and so--"
"So, you don't plan to tell me in person," I silenced his eyes and said calmly, "Liu Qinghan, there are many things that others can guess, it doesn't mean you can't say nothing. Even others You might have guessed long ago, but if you take the initiative to confess, it's different from her guessing. "
"..."
"It's totally different."
He looked at me and didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he said, "Oh."
I smiled.
He also looked away and picked up the towel on the lounge chair with his backhand and wiped the sweat from his neck. I said, "Do you want to continue practicing swords?"
He looked at me as if he was about to leave, a little surprised: "You really, don't ask me again?"
I laughed: "You said, I can guess, if I can't guess, I can see it soon."
"..."
"Then I won't ask you."
He lowered his eyebrows slightly, but only remained silent for a while, then went on to say, "But there are some things I want to ask you, and I want to ask for your help."
"Ok?"
Want me to help?
I was a little surprised, but immediately remembered that when I was in the city yesterday, the second brother of the Zhao family told me, "There are some people in the Yan government, and they are not willing to change hands." The son said directly, "Is that about Wen Ruyu?"
"Wen Ruyu?" Liu Qinghan was a little surprised: "Have you met him?"
"I've seen it. I saw it halfway when I entered the city yesterday. He seems to be having a hard time with Brother Er."
"... He's your cousin."
"Ok."
"His father, too."
"His father?"
I froze for a moment.
I met Wen Ruyu for the first time yesterday. When I heard his name from the second brother of the Zhao family, I was a bit impressed. Where should I have heard it when I was a kid-not his name but I heard the names of people from the Wen family, as well as things about them, but in a hurry, I couldn't remember.
Now listening to Liu Qinghan's words, I seem to be a little bit reminder.
I frowned slightly and asked, "What's his father's name?"
Liu Qinghan glanced at me and said a few moments of silence before saying, "Their affairs, I will talk about it later. It is not his business that I want you to help."
"Who is that?"
He was about to speak, and suddenly stopped again. He looked up behind me, and I seemed to feel something. Turning around, I felt a gust of wind, mixed with a slight aroma.
On the other side of the path, Wu Juan, in a plain skirt, slowly walked towards us.
In the morning light, there was an elegant smile on Zhang Ruyu's face.
Seeing her, I seemed to understand something. I looked back at Liu Qinghan, and he also looked at me and nodded gently.
Is it about, Juan?
