Chapter Thirty-One

Guan Shaohe smiled, picked up the teacup and tasted it, and said, "What a good tea." Then he said softly: "The fifth young master doesn't seem to be very surprised by this."

"Is it worth my surprise?" Han Mo said with a smile: "What does this matter have to do with me? Hehe, I'm going to tell you, I'm really happy that Xiao Jing was killed."

At this time, Han Mo crossed his legs and said gloating words, which was as good as a playboy.

Guan Shaohe was slightly stunned, with a look of confusion in his eyes, as if Han Mo was reacting strangely, and he couldn't help but ask softly: "Fifth Young Master, you don't seem to worry!"

"Worried?" Han Mo frowned and said, "What are you worried about?"

Han Mo was very confident about the confidentiality of that matter. He believed that the action, which was like the wind, would not be known by anyone other than the action that night. However, Guan Shaohe's sudden words seemed to have some other meaning, which made Han Mo feel a little confused. Could it be that Guan Shaohe knew something? Of course, the doubts in his heart were not revealed in his face.

Guan Shaohe thought about it, as if he had thought of something, and smiled and said, "This has never happened before. I think the fifth young master still doesn't understand the consequences of theft of tax silver... Well, Shaohe is wrong, don't blame the fifth young master."

"The consequences?" Han Mo picked up the teacup, shook it at Guan Shaohe, signaling him to drink tea together, but he said with a smile on his face: "You can't say it, Xiao Wu has always only knows how to play and play, and he really doesn't understand the consequences of theft of tax silver. Manager Guan, it's better for you to point out and let Xiao Wu open up."

"I dare not, don't dare!" Guan Shaohe immediately said modestly, and then smiled: "Fifth Young Master, this time the tax silver was stolen may not be a bad thing."

"Shopkeeper Guan, speak clearly. Xiao Wu can't understand what he is doing in Zen." Han Mo said lightly.

Guan Shaohe hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't do Zen Zen, don't do Zen. The fifth young master, let's say that, the tax silver was stolen and a large amount of tax silver was lost. The court could not just forget it. Your Donghai County tax silver was not paid to the Ministry of Revenue, and they would not care whether you were robbed. The most important thing is that the court should see the silver and see the white silver included in the treasury. Without the silver, how will the Yan State's court and the various yamen operate? So Shaohe thought that the court would soon issue an order to order Donghai County to pay the tax silver!"

"Reimburse the tax silver?" Han Mo's eyebrows jumped. He had never thought about this.

After all, there was no incident of tax silver robbery in Donghai County before, and Han Mo had never been involved in this matter. In his opinion, the primary responsibility for tax silver robbery was naturally to find Xiao Muzan. After all, it was his poor employment that led to this consequence. He would naturally come to Qingpu County officials later. If the matter happened on their ground, they would not be able to escape.

But he did not expect that the court would order Donghai County to pay the tax silver again regardless of the situation of the tax silver robbery. If this is true, he would have taken action secretly this time, which would have caused some trouble to the Han family.

"Fifth Young Master, you are smart and smart. I believe you can know that if the court ordered Donghai County to pay the tax silver, it would be normal for the people of Donghai County to ask for the silver." Guan Shaohe looked calm and said slowly: "But the tax silver in Donghai County had just been paid, and now I am afraid that even the money to survive will be a problem, let alone the tax silver again. The government is lazy and has to bear the responsibility if it is done badly, so how can those people be willing to do it?"

Han Mo held his chin, pondered slightly, and said lightly: "If it were me, I would not accept it for the government to take responsibility for the fault." He did not continue to talk to Guan Shaohe at this time. Guan Shaohe came here today, so he must have something to discuss, so Han Mo followed his words and saw what plans he had.

"Come on!" Guan Shaohe gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "I just said that the fifth young master is an honest person. It seems that Shaohe has good eyesight." He paused and said softly: "Fifth young master, you said it well. If you pay the tax and silver, the people will have no way to survive. If you really want to force yourself, you will most likely cause civil rebellion. If the residents of Donghai are in peace, they will be kind and docile, but if they cause trouble, they will be the most fierce people in your Yan State. Your Han family is the first family in Donghai. At that time, the people of Donghai County will be reversed. Even if your Han family does not want to take any action, even if they know that the consequences are almost devastating, but the situation forces them to cause trouble."

Han Mo's eyes flashed and he smiled coldly, saying, "Shopkeeper Guan, you have repeatedly made rebellious words. I really have to think about whether you want to block your mouth!"

"Haha..." Guan Shaohe smiled: "The fifth young master wants to block my mouth, but Shaohe dares not object. But I hope the fifth young master will decide whether to block my mouth when I finish speaking."

Han Mo said: "Don't say the wrong thing, you really have no brains."

Guan Shaohe said seriously: "*, the court is naturally very clear about this situation. Although there are many people in the court who want to see that your Han family really takes action at this time, they really hope to use this matter to force the people of Donghai County to complain, but your Han family still has power in the court, and they will do their best to make the matter dilute."

Han Mo pondered, not interrupting, but just looked at Guan Shaohe with a strange smile.

In fact, in Han Mo's heart, he was still very interested in Guan Shaohe.

The Han family is a nobleman of Yan State. He always acts cautiously and is afraid that other families will use certain means to attack the Han family and force the Han family to react. Therefore, on the surface, the Han family fully demonstrates that they are a loyal and patriotic family.

Ordinary businessmen naturally dare not break this tranquility and talk about some rebellious topics in front of the Han family, who insisted on being loyal to the appearance of a loyal minister.

However, Guan Shaohe is extremely unique. Not only did he say many ruthless words, he also seemed to have a very good understanding of the form of Yan State. This person is really extraordinary, at least an extraordinary businessman.

His courage is really great.

What made Han Mo even more confused was that Guan Shaohe was determined to do underground business with the Han family, but he was not going to find the head of the Han family, not looking for the main sect leader, the second sect leader, or Han Xuanchang, but he found himself - a junior in the Han family who had no actual power, which made Han Mo unable to understand.

Does Guan Shaohe think that finding the juniors of the Han family would be more useful than finding the head of the family? Or, Guan Shaohe knew that the head of the Han family would not negotiate with him, so he used roundabout tactics, starting with me, Han Mo?

"You just said that the tax silver robbery may not be a bad thing." Han Mo said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Guan, Xiao Wu can't understand this sentence either."

Guan Shaohe smiled and said, "As I said below, the tax and silver that Donghai County has to pay to the court is indispensable, and this batch of silver cannot be collected from the people of Donghai County at the risk of civil rebellion. In this case, Donghai County can only find other ways to solve this problem. The fifth young master knew that the biggest resource of Donghai County was the Great Donghai. To put it bluntly, it is the pearl agate sea treasure under the sea. Shaohe took the liberty to guess that the Yan State court would be very likely to allow the Han family to go into the sea and take the sea treasure to fill the gap in tax and silver. In this way, the Han family's opportunity will come, and the Guan family's trading business in Shaohe may also benefit from it."

Of course, Han Mo is not a stupid person. In terms of IQ, he is even above most people. So as soon as Guan Shaohe finished speaking, he understood Guan Shaohe’s true intention to come here today, and also understood why “the robbery of tax silver may not be a bad thing”, because for Guan Shaohe, this incident may set a line for the trade between the Guan family and the Han family, and a great opportunity arise.

As the saying goes, "Damage is always a blessing"!

However, Han Mo really knows little about the family’s affairs in daily life, so he doesn’t understand why the Han family needs special accuracy to go to the court. Once the Han family goes to the sea to collect pearl sea treasures, what kind of opportunities will the Han family bring to the Han family?

"Shopkeeper Guan, you have said so much today. What do you want Xiaowu to do?" Han Mo asked at Guan Shaohe.

Guan Shaohe didn't talk nonsense, stood up and walked to Han Mo, respectfully, but his voice was very low: "Fifth Young Master, once the court really allowed to go into the sea, no matter how many imperial envoys the court sent to supervise, I believe that with the Han family's ability, I can buy a part of it privately... So Shaohe thought that what the Han family was most worried about was that the pearls in their hands could not be safely exchanged for silver. Shaohe came here today to make the fifth Young Master feel aware. At that time, Shaohe would definitely help him and solve his worries for the Han family."

Han Mo immediately laughed, strange, just like seeing through Guan Shaohe's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, he said leisurely: "Shopkeeper Guan is just good at talking. He obviously wants to make profits from it, and he also wants to say that he is helping my Han family. He is a high-sounding person and is worthy of being a businessman!"

Guan Shaohe didn't think so, and laughed, then turned to the side, holding a huge thing out.

The thing was covered with purple gauze. Guan Shaohe held Han Mo in both hands and said respectfully: "Fifth Young Master, this is something that Shao He accidentally obtained. I asked myself that I am not qualified to use it. I will give it to the fifth Young Master. I hope you can accept it with a smile!"

"I always need some gifts when I find someone to do business." Han Mo giggled, reached out and lifted it up, and couldn't help but be stunned. The one in Guan Shaohe's hand was an extremely precious jade zither.

"Golden boy's head, jade girl's waist, immortal back, dragon pond, phoenix swamp, jade peg, golden emblem, five strings!" Guan Shaohe looked at Yaoqin and smiled and said, "The best Yaoqin, full of gold and jade!"

Han Mo's eyes were strange, and after a moment, he sighed: "I... can't play the piano!"

Guan Shaohe was stunned, but immediately smiled and said, "Make a decoration!"

The two of them looked at each other and they both showed strange smiles.
