Wang Ruyi looked slightly startled, glanced at Li Qingfeng cautiously, and subconsciously lowered his head.
"Peak Master, I am not talented enough to interfere in the affairs outside."
Wang Ruyi is so smart that she naturally knows that in men's hearts, they like beautiful and smart women.
But it is absolutely unacceptable for women to use their beauty to interfere in men's affairs.
If you speak too much, you will make mistakes.
If you accidentally cause the displeasure of the peak master or violate any taboos, it will be very bad.
Qingfeng Li smiled and nodded.
"You are a clever woman!"
Wang Ruyi felt relieved when he heard this.
I secretly thanked God that I didn't say anything more.
Li Qingfeng noticed Wang Ruyi's expression, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then asked,
"So what do you think of Qingfeng Village now?"
"This……"
Wang Ruyi was slightly stunned.
Qingfeng Li interrupted her and said,
"Just speak your mind. After all, from now on, you are considered a member of Qingfeng Village. You can't really not care about anything that happens in the village, right?"
Wang Ruyi hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying,
"Peak Master, please forgive me for being blunt, but in my humble opinion, Qingfeng may be in imminent danger."
Qingfeng Li raised his eyebrows, said nothing, and slowly walked back to his big tiger-skin chair and sat down.
At the same time, using the chair as a cover, he put the Desert Eagle in his sleeve under the tiger skin without leaving any trace.
Then he looked at Wang Ruyi and smiled,
"continue!"
Wang Ruyi pursed her lips and then spoke,
"Earlier, the Peak Master invited the Salt Inspector, Lord Lin, to Qingfeng Village. This move not only greatly increased the prestige of Qingfeng Village, but also completely pushed Qingfeng Village into the presence of the imperial court."
"Qingfeng Village has always targeted the gentry and salt merchants of Yangzhou. Although these people have considerable status and wealth, they are, to put it bluntly, just ordinary people."
"Plus, Qingfeng Village has strict discipline, so they can spend some money to stay safe. Furthermore, most of them are not clean themselves, so they can naturally tolerate the existence of Qingfeng Village."
As he spoke, Wang Ruyi looked at Qingfeng Li and continued,
"But the Salt Inspectorate is different. The Yangzhou Salt Administration is in charge of the salt tax in Lianghuai, and the annual tax revenue accounts for almost one-third of the imperial court's tax revenue."
"The Salt Inspector is a member of the imperial court and a trusted minister to the emperor. If Qingfeng Village is exposed, how can the court tolerate the existence of Qingfeng Village next to the imperial purse?"
"It's possible that the imperial army sent to wipe out Qingfeng Village is already preparing to march, or is on its way to Yangzhou."
Qingfeng Li couldn't help but applaud.
"Well said! I never thought that a mere girl like you could have such insight. This truly opens my eyes!"
Wang Ruyi blushed at Qingfeng Li's praise and lowered her eyes shyly.
"The Peak Master has great foresight and must have seen all this long ago. Ruyi is just a weak woman who is just repeating what others have said. She does not deserve the Peak Master's praise."
Li Qingfeng smiled and shook his head, then asked,
"So what do you think I should do?"
Wang Ruyi didn't want to say anything, but seeing Li Qingfeng's encouraging eyes, she felt a little excited at being recognized.
Knowing that Qingfeng Li truly admired her, she gritted her teeth, then looked up at Qingfeng Li and continued,
"Ruyi dare not disobey Peak Master Du's intentions, but in my humble opinion, Qingfeng Village should quickly conquer all parts of Yangzhou, sweeping the people of the entire region and quickly forming a huge force. Only in this way can the imperial court be wary and not dare to take action against Qingfeng Village easily!"
Speaking of this, Wang Ruyi seemed to have suddenly opened up some special attribute, and continued with a beaming expression,
"As long as Qingfeng Village takes over the entire territory of Yangzhou, the imperial court's purse will be in the hands of Qingfeng Village."
"So, even if the imperial court has any new major moves after repelling the imperial army, there's no money to do them. It will take at least a year and a half to ease the situation."
