"Greetings, Your Highness,

" a voice called out.

"I remember there is a shop in Jiangnan as well.

"

Qi Ming nodded his head,

"Reporting to Your Highness, there is indeed a shop nearby. May I know what Your Highness has requested of me?

"

"Yi Bao Xuan originated from Jiangnan, how's its influence in Jiangnan?

"

King Jin's eyes lit up. He was confused for a moment and actually picked up a treasure.

"Alright, activate the Treasure Pavilion and spread the news that there is a problem with the Jiangnan salt tax, fight to spread throughout Jiangnan.

"

"Is there a problem with the Jiangnan salt tax?

"

The King nodded,

"There's no harm in telling you now. Yang Lian has already told me that the Jiangnan salt tax revenue is very poor, the total should be several million silver taels.

"

"Several million silver?

"

"This isn't a small number. A while ago, after checking the salt tax, a group of evil salt merchants were found. In just a short period of time, another problem actually occurred, and these people's courage is a bit too great.

"Last time, I was tricked by Prince Jin and suffered a huge loss due to the salt tax. This time, I want to make sure Prince Jin returns the favor.

"You should hurry up and do it.

"

"Yes.

"

Not long after King Yu's orders ended, Mu Yunyao received the news.

"Master, do you need us to do something in secret?

" No need, whatever orders the King has to give, all of us will follow. Since we have decided to let the King and King Jin fight, we will not interfere so easily. After so many years of rivalry between the King and Prince Jin, none of them managed to get much of a profit, many of which were mediated by the Emperor.

The reason for this is because if we were to rashly intervene, it would easily arouse the emperor's attention. Let them fight amongst themselves. In such a good situation, the Emperor will definitely not give up.

"

"Yes.

"

In just a few days, the news of the problem with the Jiang-Nan salt tax had spread like wildfire. The emperor was furious after hearing about it and immediately ordered a thorough investigation. No one expected the emperor to hand the task over to Yue Yang.

After Mu Yunyao heard the news, she was stunned for a moment before tightly furrowing her brows.

Jin Lan was slightly worried.

"Miss, are you alright?

"

"The Grand Princess and Madam are admiring the flowers at Liufang Garden. A few days ago, you planted a few new tea flowers, and the Grand Princess is very fond of them. Every day, she goes to Liufang Garden to admire them, would Miss like to take a look as well?

"

Mu Yunyao stood up and walked two steps before suddenly shaking her head.

"No need. I think we've already made more than half of the custom-made clothes in the Nebula Market, right?

"

"Yes, I have enough manpower, so the speed of making clothes is a bit faster.

"

"Let's go take a look at the Nebula Market and hurry up to finish making these dresses. The weather is getting hotter this year, and it won't be long before people start wearing spring dresses.

"

"Yes, miss.

" Mu Yunyao arrived at the Nebula Market. With her help, she was able to finish her clothes faster and faster. As he got busy, he forgot about his worries. When Jin Lan reminded him, he realized that the sky had already darkened.

"Miss, the Grand Princess and Madam have sent people to ask if you can return as soon as possible.

"

"Fangyuan.

"

"Alright, I understand.

"

Mu Yunyao stretched out her shoulders and wrists. After washing her hands, she headed downstairs.

A carriage quietly stopped in front of the entrance to the Nebula Market. Seeing Mu Yunyao alight, the curtain of the carriage was slightly parted, revealing the handsome face of Titan.

"Yunyao.

"

"Your Highness Duke of Yue …

"

"I'll take you back.

"

Mu Yunyao was stunned. She looked left and right before nodding and replying,

"Then I'll have to trouble you.

"

After getting on the carriage, Mu Yunyao looked at the Duke of Yue, but hesitated to speak.

Yue Yang took the lead and spoke:

"You should have heard about it already, royal father has assigned me to go to Jiangnan to investigate the salt tax case. Tomorrow morning, I will set out on my journey to Jiangnan.

"

"So fast?

"

"This is an urgent matter. Rumors have already spread from Jiangnan, and the consequences are dire. We can only set out as soon as possible.

" Seeing Mu Yunyao's serious expression, Wang Yue couldn't help but chuckle.

"No need to worry so much, spending so much time and effort in Jiangnan wasn't a waste of effort. I'll quickly do it.

They will investigate this matter thoroughly and then return to the capital.

"

"Of course I'm not worried about Your Highness's ability, it's just that … The Jiangnan Salt Merchants were deeply rooted in their roots. Last time, when the time, land, and people were all occupied, our plan succeeded. This time, the rumors spread ahead of time and the Salt Merchants were prepared.

"With you behind me, I can't bear to let anything happen to you.

" King Yue looked at Mu Yunyao, and his eyes seemed to wish for nothing more than to turn into a river of gentle water.

Mu Yunyao's ears turned slightly red. She was anxious and angry in her heart,

"I'm not joking. Your Highness must be extra careful in this business.

"

"Well, I know. Did Yao'er have a way to earn silver taels this time? If Jiangnan's salt merchant does not cheat us, then it will be a waste.

"

Hearing Yue Yang's words, Mu Yunyao couldn't help but find it funny.

"Your Highness actually thinks of me as a gold rake for money?

"Jiangnan Salt Merchants are not stupid, how can they let us do all the calculations, but if we want to squeeze out money from them, there's a way to do it.

"

"The bottom of the iceberg?

"

"I've never been able to extort money from them easily and thoroughly. His Highness has always been a upright and cold person. This time, the reason the emperor sent you to Jiangnan may have been due to this reason.

"

The Winged King slightly narrowed his eyes.

"That's reasonable. I like this errand. Yao`er, you can just quietly wait in the capital for your good news.

" Mu Yunyao nodded and suddenly let out a laugh,

"I once heard a scholar tell a joke, saying that he plundered the home of a greedy official and copied out five hundred thousand silver taels. In the end, the official in charge of raiding the house drew thirty percent, and the person in charge of handling affairs below drew twenty percent.

Fine, the rest of the money will be taken care of, and only 90,000 silver will be given to the Emperor in the end … Then, the emperor took a look and saw that there weren't that many who'd embezzled anything at all, which lightened the responsibility of the officials by quite a bit …

"

"Yao'er, don't worry. If you want to be greedy, this king will have to be greedy. I definitely won't let anyone else take advantage of me.

"

"Your Highness's words are really confident and confident.

"

"The longer I follow Yao'er, the closer I get to her.

" Mu Yunyao raised her head and glared at him.

"I can't help Your Highness with anything else, but I can borrow a few of Your Highness's men. A while ago, I received a letter from Lady Ding, saying that she was a group of experts in accounting in the Nebula Market.

"If Your Highness needs them, then immediately go to the Nebula Market and ask for them.

" Well, Yao'er has thought it through thoroughly.
