Chapter 507 Full support for trade with Nanyuan 6

"Okay, go and do your thing."

Gu Shuo nodded.

"etc……"

Gu Shuo turned around.

"The girl in the general's mansion is very nice. Her temperament is a bit like yours when you were a child." When Dai faced the little girl at Xiang's house, she thought of the six-year-old Gu Shuo for a moment.

He has a stubborn temper and is not afraid of anyone. He dares to point out anyone's mistakes.

"Does mother like her?" Gu Shuo was a little happy.

"He's a good kid."

"Mom, if you have time, please go to the General's Mansion to see her more often."

"good."

"Mom, I have to go first. I have some things to do at the Water Mirror Terrace."

"Go ahead."

Gu Shuo rode away.

Mrs. Dai lowered her eyes and thought. Her son was very happy when he mentioned the little baby. Although it was only for a moment, she still caught it.

Why does the son love the little kid from the general's mansion so much?

"lady?"

Dai came back to her senses: "Let's go."

"drive."

The car moved slowly.

Dai lowered the curtain and suddenly came to her senses. No matter why, as long as her son was happy, it was fine. Besides, she didn't hate the little girl from the Xiang family.

After she finishes dealing with the Gu family's affairs in a few days, she will definitely come to visit again.

"Look at his attitude. He can't be relied on. What's the point of raising a son?" Gu Mingqiu felt depressed.

Even though she knew he was in the car, she didn't even say hello to her father.

"Hmph." Dai snorted coldly.

"It's all your fault. You always say bad things about me in front of him. The child is influenced by you." Gu Mingqiu snorted.

"My son has his own opinions. Anyone with eyes knows what kind of moral character you have. Do you need others to tell you? Influenced? Everyone in the Gu family is smart. You grew up among them, how come you haven't been influenced by them at all?"

"You...I can't beat you anyway." Gu Mingqiu turned his head and stopped talking.

Dai is cold and aloof. She has been in the Gu family for many years, and the only advantage he has is that he doesn't dare to climb over her head. If he dares to be stubborn with her, she will beat him to a cripple!

May 25th

Kyoto City, Post Station

Prince Yu has been worried ever since he received the emperor's letter. He felt that the conditions in his brother's letter were a bit unreasonable. It had been three days since the news was passed to Gu Shuo.

He felt very uneasy as Gu Shuo's men had not arrived for a long time.

They no longer had any reason to delay leaving Kyoto, and after much thought, they decided to go to Shuijingtai in person.

"Uncle Wang, how many more days do I have to stay stuck in my room?" Helian Chen pouted, looking unhappy.

"In two days."

"It'll take two more days. I'll get moldy if I keep this up."

"Be patient for Nanyuan."

"Hasn't the emperor sent a message? What are you waiting for?" Helian Chen not only felt like he was living in a year for more than half a month, but he also had to take some medicine every few days to send off the imperial physicians in the palace.

If this continues, he will get sick even if he is not sick.

Prince Yu thought for a moment and said to the door, "Someone, prepare the car."

"yes."

"Uncle Wang, what are you doing?"

"Go find Boss Gu and get a firm answer. If we delay any longer, Emperor Beili will become suspicious."

"Well, Uncle Wang, can I go to the general's mansion today?" Helian Chen tested.

"You must stay at the post station and don't go anywhere. If you cause trouble for me, I will let your father punish you when we return to Nanyuan." Prince Yu warned.

Helian Chen hummed: "If you don't want to go, then don't go."

Prince Yu sighed softly, turned around and walked out the door.

There was no reply for three days, and he had a vague answer in his mind. For Nan Yuan now, the conditions offered by Boss Gu were already the best.

The price of aquatic products is more than double what Nanyuan currently buys. It is not wise for the emperor to bargain.

Shuijingtai, fourth floor.

It has been over a month since Gu Shuo resigned from the Imperial Merchants, and the subsequent affairs have been almost handed over.

The emperor sent a new official from the Ministry of Revenue to take over. This official was 21 years old and was Li Mu, the eldest son of Li Zhengsi, the Minister of the Court.

Li Mu has been checking the accounts of the imperial merchants for half a month since he arrived at Shuijingtai. From his words, he was worried that someone was making a profit from the imperial merchants.

Some bosses who followed Gu Shuo were very unhappy about this and complained to Gu Shuo behind his back. Gu Shuo didn't care at all and ordered everyone not to discuss the matter anymore.

If Li Mu wants to investigate, then he can do so. It would be best if Royal Business investigates thoroughly. Otherwise, it would be bad if they start a rebellion after he leaves.

A new official has three things to do when he takes office. Li Mu was very confident in the first five or six days, but his enthusiasm declined after the seventh day. His daily work was to reconcile accounts.

I never knew that business had so many accounts to check, and all the accounts were clear at a glance without any mistakes.

"Master Li, have you checked the accounts?" Gu Shuo knocked on the door and entered the room.

Li Mu looked up and said, "Boss Gu, don't worry. If you need to check the accounts, you have to check them carefully. Wait two more days."

"Okay, Lord Li, please take your time to check. There's no rush. By the way, I have also asked someone to move the accounts from the previous year over here. You two can take your time to look at them." Gu Shuo had a smile on his face.

"From the year before last? Isn't there a general ledger?" Li Mu was troubled.

"Sir Li doesn't trust anyone, right? When you came to Shuijingtai, you said that we need to be cautious with money and check every penny. I think what you said is very reasonable, so I asked someone to bring the account books from the previous year for you to take a closer look. I will not feel at ease until you personally inspect them." Gu Shuo was very sincere.

Li Mu opened his mouth awkwardly, "There's no need to check the accounts from the year before last... the year before last. Just give me the total, Boss Gu."

"Yes, every business transaction of the royal family has a destination. Lord Li must check it carefully. Otherwise, if something goes wrong in the future, I will not take responsibility."

"I believe in Boss Gu's ability."

"If Lord Li really believed it, he wouldn't be here all night checking last year's accounts. After thinking it over, I still think that the accounts should be checked from the beginning." Gu would not tolerate his refusal.

Li Mu was in a dilemma. He hadn't been able to eat or sleep well for half a month. If he endured another half a month, it would be the end of him.

"I really admire Lord Li's personal involvement. I'll have the account books delivered right away." Gu Shuo ignored the immediately disastrous expression and continued, "Lord Li, if there's anything wrong with the account books, please feel free to come to me. After checking and verifying that there are no problems, I'll leave Shuijingtai. Any problems with the Royal Merchants' accounts will have nothing to do with me, so Lord Li, please be careful."

When Li Mu heard this, he felt as if a heavy weight had fallen on his head, and he couldn't lift his head.

I felt regretful and blamed myself for saying too much when I first arrived. I failed to impress anyone and ended up making myself suffer.

Gu Shuo looked like a smiling tiger and turned around with the corners of his mouth raised.

If he insists on showing off his power, let him show off to his heart's content!

"Boss Gu, someone's looking for you."

As soon as Gu Shuo reached the stairs, he met a servant hurrying up.

"Could you please introduce yourself?"

"He told me to say Nan Yuan, and you'll know who it is."

Nanyuan?

The corners of Gu Shuo's mouth curled up even more: "Please invite the person up."

It took Prince Yu three days to come, and he showed some endurance.

Soon, the servant led Prince Yu upstairs.

"Prince Yu, I wonder what brings you to see me?" Gu Shuo welcomed him into the house.
