No taboos

Chapter 190 Loophole
In this transaction with the Sanniang Society, what Xu Yuan "paid" was the release of all members of the Sanniang Society.

This is Xu Yuan’s own “capital”.

So the Fire Master and others had made a decision in their hearts, which meant that the deal was done.

The huge amount of money directly allowed Xu Yuan to be promoted to the eighth level.

And it feels like it’s not far from the seventh rate.

This is because, if these two pieces of craftsmanship are calculated strictly according to the standards, the total price is about 40,000 to 50,000 taels.

But in reality, if they really wanted to trade, even if they offered 300,000 or 400,000 taels, the Sanniang Society would never sell it.

According to this value, Xu Yuan will be promoted directly to the seventh rate or even the sixth rate!

This also confirms what Zhang Laoya once told Xu Yuan: There will be a premium in buying and selling, but there is no premium in spiritual practice.

Xu Yuan was already very satisfied. After studying commercial law, he was promoted to the eighth level in two days. The speed was unprecedented.

Xu Yuan suddenly thought that if all the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty engaged in power-for-money transactions, they would all make a lot of money!
If the cabinet ministers were to amend the commercial law, I'm afraid they would all be third-rate!
Xu Yuan frowned, thinking that there must be something wrong here.

I was about to go back to rest, but after turning a corner, I came to Zhang Laoya's door again and knocked on the door: "Senior, have you rested? I have something to ask you."

Zhang Laoya had drunk some wine and was planning to go to bed early today, but was disturbed by Xu Yuan again.

When he opened the door, his expression was not very good: "If you have something to say, please tell me quickly."

Xu Yuan whispered his doubts.

Zhang Lao Ya waved his hand: "Of course not. The exchange of power for money is considered bribery, not a real business."

Xu Yuan thought about this transaction again. It seemed that what he paid for was the power in his hands. Why should it be considered as the practice of commercial law?

Xu Yuan told about the "deal" he had just completed.

Zhang Laoya was also puzzled: "Is it really so?"

Zhang Laoya grabbed Xu Yuan's wrist, checked it, and showed a confused look: "It's really eighth-rate... This... shouldn't be possible."

Zhang Lao Ya scratched his head, thought for a long time, and then reluctantly explained, "Could it be that because Sanniang and the others in her circle think this deal is fair? So it doesn't count as a bribe?"

Xu Yuan frowned, and Zhang Laoya himself felt it was far-fetched.

"Or maybe..." Zhang Laoya thought of another possibility: "Did your 'Eight Directions Injury' cause a slight error in the assessment of Shang Fa's cultivation? It shouldn't have counted, so I'll let it go for you?"

This statement is even more far-fetched.

But this statement reminded Xu Yuan.

It may indeed be fate that plays a role, but it is not "harm from all directions", but "no taboos"!
Not only are there no taboos against evil spirits, there are also no taboos against spiritual practice!
Others have all kinds of concerns when studying commercial law, but I don’t!

Any means can be used!
Xu Yuan became excited. If this was true... the higher his official position, the faster his progress in commercial law would be!

But after a brief excitement, Xu Yuan calmed down.

I smiled bitterly in my heart: If I really engage in power-for-money transactions, I won’t be able to get over it in my heart.

If someone is willing to bribe you with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, then they are probably after millions of taels of profit, right?
There are so many evils hidden behind this, which may harm countless people.

Xu Yuan doesn't think of himself as a saint.

For example, if you go with the flow and allow your subordinates to do some illegal operations, it would be harmless.

But there are some things that really cannot be done.

It seems like a good prospect, but as I said before, it’s unlikely that you’ll come across such a “deal” in the future.

"Sorry to bother you, senior." Xu Yuan clasped his fists and bowed, then said goodbye and left.

Zhang Laoya couldn't sleep. He lay on the bed, flipping over pancakes, but he couldn't figure it out: "What's going on? This shouldn't be happening..."

……

After Xu Yuan returned, he couldn't fall asleep either.

I thought about it for half the night. Now that I know there is such a "loophole" in the commercial law, I really can't bear not to take advantage of it.

Finally, I figured out a way to exploit the loophole again.

Wake up the next day, today's ban:
Walking at night, singing and dancing, begging, and gluttony.

When Xu Yuan saw the ban on begging, he felt that he was being targeted today.

I haven’t even used my “begging bowl” yet, but it was banned today.

However, seeing that his human skin would be greatly strengthened by prohibiting "gluttony", he shook his head in satisfaction.

Xu Yuan had a simple breakfast and was 70% full.

Then he went straight to the cell and released the Fire Master and others.

Wei Yunhua had a stern face and followed the crowd, trying to get out.

Before Xu Yuan could even speak, Lang Xiaoba suddenly thrust his arm across her shoulders, stopping her: "My Lord said yesterday that you will remain locked up."

Wei Yunhua's defense was broken, and she screamed, "Why?! I'm also a member of the Sanniang Society. This deal should include me!"

Xu Yuan said calmly: "No reason, I just don't like it."

Wei Yunhua pushed Lang Xiaoba's arm away and was about to rush out.

However, Lang Xiaoba had made considerable progress in his hard training last night, and his martial arts skills were naturally strong. Wei Yunhua could not push Lang Xiaoba's arm away and was forcibly blocked inside.

Wei Yunhua's eyes were filled with anger, and the fire in his stomach was boiling as well.

Xu Yuan sneered and said, "Have you thought it through?"

Wei Yunhua's anger subsided and he really didn't dare to act rashly in the Exorcism Department.

Her eyes turned red and she started to cry: "You, you are bullying me, a woman..."

"Tsk!" Lang Xiaoba sneered and locked the cell door again with a bang: "You like crying, then cry for a while longer in there.

There is nothing in this world that can be solved by crying."

Xu Yuan brought the Fire Master and others out and said to the Fire Master, "I have a deal that might interest you."

Although the Fire Master and others came out, they were dejected. They lost two artifacts and had no way to explain to the guild.

Their plan was to ask someone to invite Lord Xu to dinner in two days, and then spend money to buy back the two crafts.

I don’t dare to have a complete falling out with Lord Xu now.

Although the fire master's heart trembled when he heard Xu Yuan say "a deal" again, he still forced a smile and said, "Sir, please speak."

"I'll rent these two pieces of crafts to you for twenty thousand taels a year. You'll pay for five years first."

"Ah?" Master Fire and others were dumbfounded.

To be honest, Inspector, you are going a bit too far!
But the initial anger soon passed, and the Fire Master and several of his men looked at each other: It seems... it's not unacceptable.

One hundred thousand taels was paid in one lump sum.

Although it is a huge sum of money, the Champa branch can really come up with it if they grit their teeth.

Moreover, they had originally planned to buy back the two artifacts. According to the "greedy" character of this adult, it was not something that could be solved with just 100,000 taels.

Then Xu Yuan further said: "I can guarantee that I will work hard on the two crafts and I will never mess with you again."

"Really?!" The Fire Master couldn't help but ask.

"Of course!"

"Deal!" The fire master no longer hesitated and agreed immediately.

Xu Yuan immediately felt that his business law had once again broken through the seventh level!
