My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 637
Liu Mingzhi was about to make way for the Queen to enter, when a familiar yet unfamiliar voice behind him made them stop.

The two turned around and saw Huyan Prince Huyanyu, who should be called Lord Huyan now, after all, after the elder brother Huyan Chile succeeded to the throne, it was not proper for Huyanyu to be called a prince.

Holding a gift box in his right hand, Hu Yanyu stood beside Princess Jin Yanyu, looking at Liu Mingzhi with a faint smile.

"Brother Liu, long time no see!"

The queen looked at Yan Yu with a cold face: "Why are you here?"

Yan Yu looked at the queen without hesitation, and looked at the queen with her beautiful eyes without fear: "What? If you, the eldest sister, can come to congratulate the younger sister on Feixiong's birthday, can't the second sister come to congratulate Fei Xiong?"

The queen was stunned, but she didn't answer, Sheng Yan looked at the street beside her in a daze.

"Sister, Hu Yanyu is being polite!"

The queen nodded lightly: "You don't need to be too polite, you and I are ordinary people when you go out, but you and I are guests in Dalong, just treat each other as equals!"

"Hu Yanyu is being rude, big sister!"

"Uh huh, so why are you visiting the door as a guest, and you are all distinguished guests, please come inside!"

"Thank you! Brother Liu's complexion is not very good, as if he just recovered from a serious illness?"

Hu Yanyu walked beside Liu Mingzhi and looked at First Young Master Liu, whose face was still a little pale, and immediately saw that Young Master Liu was just recovering from a serious illness.

The Queen's footsteps immediately returned to normal, she didn't seem to care about Young Master Liu's illness, but seeing her holding her breath and holding her voice, she could tell that her expression was cold, and there was a wave of turmoil in her calm heart.

"Brother Huyan has good eyesight, my younger brother unfortunately contracted a cold some time ago, and now he is almost in good health!"

"Brother, you can finally leave the room, brother misses you so much!"

The four people who had just stepped into the gate stopped again and turned around to look around. They saw Zhu Run, Marquis of Guan Nei, standing outside the gate with his wife Zhou Yuhe carrying a gift box. Plague, brother, you have been cultivating for more than a dozen times, and I finally saw you today!"

"Hmm, what kind of plague, just a little bit of cold, don't curse me."

Zhu Run looked at the three empresses beside Liu Mingzhi and patted their heads: "That's right, that's right, look at my memory, it's the wind and cold!"

Liu Mingzhi shook his head helplessly and looked at the reserved Zhou Yuhe: "Yuhe, brother didn't attend your wedding banquet because of his official business, please don't blame him!"

Zhou Yuhe nodded faintly: "Brother is joking, my husband has told Yuhe, how dare Yuhe blame elder brother!"

"That's good, that's good, please come in, today is a busy day!"

Zhu Run embraced Liu Mingzhi's shoulders without pretentiousness: "Brother, the mines outside our city have already started to produce coal. This year's coal business is better than previous years. After His Majesty opened up business, the coal furnaces that are now transported to Shanhaiguan are the same as the coal. The supply exceeds the demand, and it is not a problem to earn 2000 million!"

"Then what, don't talk about this today, don't talk about this!"

Liu Mingzhi hurriedly winked at Zhu Run but it was too late.

The three people who were about to enter the mansion looked at Liu Mingzhi in a daze, and the empress's cold face also showed a hint of surprise: "Is coal briquettes your business?"

"Uh..." Liu Mingzhi touched his nose strangely: "It's just a small fight, it's nothing!"

Hu Yanyu sighed deeply: "Brother Liu, you are not authentic. This is just a small matter. The briquettes from coal stoves transported to five coal stoves in Turkic are worth a cow for 100 yuan briquettes! If you are not used to it, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal!"

Yan Yu also looked at Liu Mingzhi with an unkind expression, apparently coal was too expensive.

Liu Mingzhi looked at Zhu Run blankly: "Why is it so expensive? That's not how the customs duties are set by the Ministry of Households! The price is more than three times higher!"

The price of three taels of silver was sold for the price of a cow, even Liu Mingzhi himself felt a little dark.

Although including transportation consumption, all kinds of expenses can be sold for 20 taels of silver, which is already a big profit, but the value of a steer is 70 taels of silver, which is simply a huge profit!
Guan Neihou also looked at Liu Mingzhi in astonishment: "Brother, when reporting to the household department, there are 30 two batches, ten stoves and five hundred balls. I don't know about the rest, they are all handed over to the purchaser. The merchants and the Shanhaiguan mutual market officials are managing it!"

Liu Mingzhi's face turned cold and he hammered on the door fiercely: "You bastard, raising prices maliciously, the border mutual market that was built with great difficulty will be destroyed by these foolish guys!"

"Brother, it shouldn't be possible!"

"Brother Huyan? Is the quantity of briquettes ordered by your Turks gradually decreasing?"

"That's right, briquettes have become a luxury item in Turkic now, and not many people can afford to use them!"

Liu Mingzhi looked at the Empress who was a little stunned: "Brother Wan, is Jin Guo's dosage also decreasing?"

The queen nodded slightly: "Dozens of households with high expenditures can't afford to buy a batch of money!"

Liu Mingzhi pondered for a while: "Brother Huyan, Brother Wan, the agreement signed at the beginning of the border mutual market was very clear, and the price was clearly marked without deception. Even if you can make a lot of money, you can make a huge profit for a while, but it will damage your reputation. People's lives, in the mutual market, there are supervisory officials sent by the three countries to monitor each other and still sell at such a high price. Needless to say, not only Dalong, but officials from the Turkic Jin Kingdom must have tampered with the price, colluding to enrich their own pockets, and the border mutual market will continue like this It will be in name only, and no more merchants will go to the border to trade!"

Hu Yanyu nodded lightly: "Brother Liu, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly after I go back, and find out the black sheep!"

Although the queen didn't express her position, her cold eyes filled with murderous intent said everything.

"Hey, let's go in, you are blinded by interests. I won't mention these things today!"

"Brother, I'm sorry, brother shouldn't spoil your interest by mentioning this!"

Zhu Run's face was a little ugly, thinking that the days that should have been happy were ruined by his own words.

Liu Mingzhi shook his head fearfully: "Not only are you not at fault, but you have also made great contributions. You have to know about this matter in advance, otherwise swords will be fought among the three kingdoms, and the peace that was so hard won will be ruined. It’s not enough to thank the world if officials don’t kill them!”

"That's good, that's good, brother thought we made a lot of money, but I didn't expect these people below to make more money than us!"

"People's hearts are separated from each other, so don't be careless when looking at people in the future!"

"Understood, I will thoroughly investigate the merchants below!"

Liu Mingzhi gently closed the door to lead a few people to the backyard. The door behind him rang again, Liu Mingzhi was taken aback, what happened today?

Looking at the strange eyes of several people, Liu Mingzhi sneered twice: "Good character, a lot of friends! Who is it?"

"Senior brother, I heard that you are ready to go out, and the junior brother came to drink with you!"

"Hu Jun? It's the younger brother!"

Liu Mingzhi opened the door and looked at Huyan Yunyao who was standing outside the door carrying two jars of wine: "Xin Ke Zhuang Scholar is really high-spirited!"

"Senior brother was joking, and my younger brother only got an errand in the Imperial Academy, unlike senior brother who has already been knighted and worshiped as a general!"

"Come in!"
