Chen Tang tapped the tea table with his fingers, closing his eyes slightly in thought.

"Is it really seen with my own eyes?" As he said that, he took out a broken silver from his sleeve and pushed it out with a sincere expression. "Oh, my elder brother doesn't know that the little girl has only one daughter under her parents. The family business of the grain shop has been working hard all her life and has no son inherited it. The elders in the clan are coveting it and want to force their parents to adopt his young grandson. How can you say that this reason be true in this world? The family business is not for the relatives to feed others? The elders also bring tribe members to the door to force them to force them to see..."

The tea chef is a man.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with the elders' approach.

He didn't say anything, but his true thoughts were revealed on his face.

Before he could speak, Chen Tang moved himself out, his pretty face full of anger and reluctance, gritted his teeth and said, "The kings of the country are all women nowadays. If they follow the elders' wishes, will the kings of the country also adopt a younger brother for themselves to abdicate?"

When the tea chef heard this, he changed his face and waved his hand and said, "Don't argue with the saint, are you afraid of your life?"

His reaction was a little too extreme.

Chen Tang said in confusion: "When I heard that the king is lenient and gentle, how could he kill people because of these two sentences? Besides, the little girl doesn't have any words to be disrespectful."

When the teake saw that no one was looking at him, he breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed the broken silver in his hand and felt a little safe: "...Oh, you, a foreigner, know what you know... I have already said everything you can say. I did see the ghost crawling out of the cemetery, carrying the guide light, and scattering paper money to the county government grain warehouse. At the land of our feet, don't say anything about the king, that person..."

As he said that, he looked around and approached Chen Tang and whispered.

"I heard that the man's mouth and snake heart are no different from those foolish lords before, and he killed more people behind his back." Chen Tang gave tea chefs seven or eight pieces of silver, which was enough for his family to eat for a long time. His eyes looked at Chen Tang a little more eager.

Take money and get rid of disasters with others.

It's a good deal to talk about something that everyone knows.

Chen Tang smiled suddenly, and the court officials who had disguised bent down to drink tea, wishing they could bury their faces in a crude teacup.

"Buddha's mouth and snake's heart? I haven't heard of it..."

She admitted that she killed a lot of people behind her back, but she dared to pat her chest and say that every head was reasonable and well-founded. There were rules in troubled times. She didn't pursue anything she had done before, but Kang Guojian also played the "unspoken rules" of the local emperor. Is it wrong for her to knock people away? It's so insulting to compare her to those garbage!

The tea chef looked like he saw through everything.

He sighed, "That's because she is used to being good at face."

Chen Tang nodded like pounding garlic, as if he had really received teaching.

As the tea chef's eyes shone, she pushed out another piece of silver. While watching the fun, the officials who had good news strode their fingers in their hearts to calculate how much silver Chen Tang gave him. Kurabushi's doctor and his colleague bit their ears: "It must be seven or eight taels, right?"

Who doesn’t know how stingy the king is?

Although she has not delayed the salary of all officials over the years, she has never heard of anyone giving her a penny. She even had to ask Chu Xiangning for daily pocket money before before.

This gossip is a reliable source.

The official who provided the news was on the scene and listened sincerely.

Qi Xiang sighed and untied his wallet: [Isn’t it the host to attend a banquet?]

[You pay the bill and I treat you, why isn't it considered a banquet? Do you have to pay for the party? Alas, you don't know that I'm so poor that I don't have a penny... I'm really curious how much Hanzhang overdraws me... It's been the third year, right?]

Qi Xiang said: [I am tight at work.]

The king said: [Who asked you to raise so many cats?]

The official did not dare to continue listening to the conversation afterwards.

But this matter spread.

The gossip of the courtiers burned wildly.

How could this matter be missed?

A young man stood up.

It should be noted that the expenses in the cat slave mansion are like flowing water.

Fortunately, Qi Shan has a daughter who is a housekeeper. While studying medicine at the Medical Department, Qi Miao is in charge of the medical department, so that the accounts will not be deficit every month. Of course, you are not afraid of the deficit, because Qi Yuanliang will misappropriate the budget of the Gods Association to settle the accounts.

This matter has always been a secret that is not known to outsiders. A group of important officials knew the tricks inside, but outsiders didn't know. The censor's naughty green calculated privately and found that Qi Xiang spent ten times his salary every year!

The Censorate has always been a story.

The young man said to Qi Shan.

It is suspected that Qishan is suspected of corruption and bribery!

The civil and military officials in the court were hesitant, and Qi Shan himself was also shocked.

That day, the Censor Gu Chi coughed and trembled.

As that gossip spread, in addition to Shen Tang's sting and nanny, there were also speculations about the relationship between her and Qi Xiang and Xun Zhen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. From the dialogue analysis, the king was so stingy because she gave all the money to Xun Shangshu. When she had no money, she borrowed Qi Xiang. Qi Xiang's own salary could not afford to support so many cats...

So the question is-

What exactly does these three have to do???

In addition, the king's indulgence to the censor and the concert in the court made him feel tacitly in harmony. Chu Xiang likes the girl Hong, and witnesses saw Chu Xiang's things appear on the king... The king also stayed overnight at General Bai...

Even if all the officials are knowledgeable, they feel very confused.

The doctor of the Ministry of Food Department came over to share gossip, but he didn't have the courage to speak directly. The king of his family's ears were more sensitive than dogs, and his fingers were dipped in tea and wrote on the table: "There is a rumor that the master has spent money on a man in his life."

My classmates' eyes lit up.

"who?"

The Department of the Ministry of Food said: "Cao Chu."

“How much did it cost?”

"Three or two!"

Several people took a deep breath.

Some people who are brave even secretly went to see Chu Yao's face.

Chu Yao's energy is not on these people. His current identity is the accountant gentleman beside Chen Tang. He was curiously close to the tea chef and asked, "I am used to being able to save face? Where do you start?"

He has never been able to stand others saying bad things about Chen Tang.

There was also a faint coldness in his eyes.

The tea shop did not notice it.

His eyes were staring at the money Chu Yao took out, and while snatching it, he opened the conversation and poured it out.

"The local government has arrested and how many people have been killed? I remember that half a year ago, a crazy woman from the Niu Er family fell ill and went to the street to say that the saint was a lustful court and deserved to have a son. The next day, the man was cut off his head and hung his head at the city gate. His stomach was opened, and his body was hung outside, and his body was naked... Alas, thinking about that scene would have to have nightmares for several nights." The tea chef looked like he couldn't bear to recall.

In an instant, the station became quiet.

The original whispers disappeared completely. After a few breaths, they appeared one after another, afraid that tea guests would find clues.

Chen Tang lowered his eyelids: "What else?"

The teacook took a sip of tea to moisten the throat.

He continued to give advice: "It is difficult to think about the woman. He has to collect grain in Jinli County to do business. For your sincere reasons, I will reveal more. If you want to do business, local merchants have to borrow official debts... If you don't borrow official debts, don't think about doing business in this area! Official debts, do you know what official debts are? I met me today. If someone else, tsk and take out gold, they may not tell you a few truths."

He said angrily: "The king of the country relies on official debts to make money!"

The station was quiet for another moment.

The tea chef reacted.

Looking around, I saw everyone talking and laughing as usual, no one paid attention to this corner. Was it his hallucination just now?

Chen Tang said curiously: "Official debts make money?"

The tea chef asked: "Have you ever heard of official debt?"

Chen Tang shook his head.

She really didn't lie this time, and she really didn't know.

The tea chef gave her some advice: "The so-called official debt is the debt that is released by an official! It is generally the rule of law, and nine out of nine and thirteen returns. Merchants go to the official to borrow principal and use money to do business. After making money, they will give it to others with principal and interest."

Chen Tang understood eighty or ninety-nine points as soon as he heard this process.

You still have to ask clearly: "I have something to do. Since it is a businessman doing business, how can you lose money?"

Nine out and thirteen out, isn’t this usury?

Chen Tang stroked the teacup with his fingers, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

When the tea chef heard this, he immediately laughed out loud: "The reason is such a reason, but the woman is a businessman, and the businessman cannot do things so rigidly. Official debts are borrowing debts on the surface, but they are looking for a backer behind them. If you don't borrow official debts, you don't have a backer behind them, and your business still wants to be stable? You are shipped out by a batch of goods, and they are blocking you, and you will be fined by the name! Deducting the goods! Take off your skin!"

The station was strange and quiet for a moment.

Chen Tang's movement of rubbing the teacup paused.

The tea chef continued to mock: "A few years ago, when the world was in chaos, although there was a risk of being robbed by businessmen, at least there were not so many tricks. Alas, now, there are few bandits on the road, and they are changing their faces to go to the official office..."

Chen Tang grabbed the teacup and pursed his lips without saying a word.

The tea chef mistakenly thought that she didn't understand these tricks in her boudoir before, so she advised her for the sake of the broken silver: "My lady, doing business is just as a science as being a human being. If you want to do this business beautifully and leave the elders in the clan with nothing to say, listen to my advice and find a way to worship a backer. If you don't have a backer to take care of you, you won't receive much grain here. Even if you collect the grain, the unruly people below will bully people from other places. When you hand over the grain to you, you will be short of weight or mix sand and stones into it, or even pee."

Chen Tang exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"Listen to your words is better than reading for ten years. The little girl said that no matter what, outsiders cannot let them lose their families, let alone let them steal their family business. Where can you find the official debt you just mentioned, your backer...? I heard you speak well and you must be clear about the way."

Official debts are bribes in disguise.
