I ran away after being pregnant

"I'll give you a chance to reorganize the language!" Shen Gu raised the kitchen knife and threatened ferociously.

Chu Zhaoling was not only not afraid, but also smiled suddenly.This smile is like a tender flower blooming in the boundless snowfield.Wrapped in the cold, it fell in an instant.

Shen Gu was stunned for a moment, then shook the kitchen knife in his hand: "Hurry up!"

Don't try to confuse me with beauty!

"Beautiful, yes." Chu Zhaoling removed the word "no" following the good advice.

Shen Gu recalled what he said just now, and a tinge of red rose to his earlobe.What do you want, he will not promise it with his body!

Chu Zhaoling didn't realize that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he pursed his lips, not daring to look at Shen Gu.

After a brief and strange silence.Shen Gu put down the kitchen knife and turned his back to serve the food: "I'm almost starving to death after eating."

Chu Zhaoling walked over and picked up a dish: "Go to the room to eat."

Both of them kept silent about the embarrassment just now, pretending that nothing happened.

Shen Gu couldn't stay idle, so after eating, he was ready to go out to play.He took out the folding fan from the bag, opened it left, right, and left.

"As a son of a rich family, how can I not have a folding fan in my hand." He slapped it several times while speaking.Have it even in winter!

Chu Zhaoling saw that Shen Gu was not acting properly, and finally remembered to teach him etiquette.It's not wrong to be arbitrary.

"Etiquette..." If you don't want to learn it, forget it.

Just after saying the first two words, Shen Gu ran out of the room like a frightened rabbit.A voice came from outside: "Don't learn! Kill me and don't learn!"

Chu Zhaoling: "..."

It runs pretty fast.

After leaving the mansion, Shen Gu wandered aimlessly.Before I knew it, I walked to the restaurant where I ate last time.Among other things, the chili is really hot, which made his stomach hurt for a long time.

Shen Gu rubbed his belly: "I'm full today, I'll try again next time."

Just as he was about to continue walking, he casually glanced inside, and saw another man carrying a basket.I don't know if it was the one from last time, but the basket I picked was very similar, and it was covered with cloth.

This restaurant is above average in size and business is good.

Shen Gu suddenly thought of a possibility, and strode in with a carefree look, showing curiosity: "Is there anything good inside, let me have a look."

The man picking the basket and the waiter were both taken aback.

The shop clerk saw that Shen Gu was dressed gorgeously, he must be a rich man, so he didn't dare to offend, so he glanced at the man picking baskets.The man smiled honestly and answered, "It's just some potatoes."

Potatoes are covered with cloth, sneaky.

Relying on his dandyism, Shen Gu insisted, "I don't believe it. Open it up and let me see."

The waiter in the shop showed embarrassment: "Our small business is not easy, son, please do me a favor and spare us."

The more he was like this, the more Shen Gu felt that there was something wrong, and when the two of them were not paying attention, he yanked off the cloth covering the basket.The round potatoes lie in the basket one by one.

Really potatoes.Could it be that he thinks too much?

Shen Gu was so concerned with doubts that he failed to catch the flash of panic on the waiter's face.

"I didn't lie to you, it's really potatoes." The waiter in the shop said with a smile, and patted the shoulder of the man who picked the basket, "Go in quickly, and wait to use it."

The man hurriedly picked up the basket and walked towards the back kitchen.

"Young master, do you want to eat?" The waiter stood in front of Shen Gu and asked politely.

Shen Gu put on a smiling face: "No. Last time I ate at your house, the chili was spicy and fragrant. I thought there were chili peppers in the basket, so I thought about buying some back. It's a pity."

Watching Shen Gu go out, the waiter went to the back kitchen and asked the man picking the basket, "Are they really potatoes?"

"How is that possible." The basket-picking man smiled triumphantly, "The investigation has been strict recently, so I have to be careful."

Most of the potatoes in the basket were taken out, and white granular objects were exposed, which were not table salt.

"Who was that man just now?" The basket-picking man asked warily, "Has he been discovered? Our boss can tell you that if suspicion arises, we won't sell it immediately."

The waiter quickly explained: "He had eaten in the store before, and thought there were chili peppers in the basket, so he wanted to buy them. Don't worry, he won't find out."

The business in the store is good, and a lot of salt is used every day.Private salt is four to five times cheaper than official salt, and the quality is also better.As long as there is a way to buy private salt, no one will buy official salt.

Chu Zhaoling went out to play while Shen was old, and danced a sword in the yard by himself to soothe his itchy hands.Otherwise, if he saw it, he would have to "confess" himself in surprise.

But after all, he took care of the wound, didn't use too much force, just gestured casually.

In the moment of ecstasy, there was a sudden "ow" from behind: "You don't want to die! Dare to practice the sword!"

Chu Zhaoling's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly withdrew his moves.Shen Gu has already rushed to the front, and he couldn't help but say that he took off his clothes, and he said confidently: "Let me see if the wound is bleeding! If you bleed, you are finished, and I will tell you!"

"No...it's fine."

Chu Zhaoling wanted to dodge, but the other party's clothes were too tight.The front placket was pulled off, but Shen Gu thought he couldn't see it, so he pulled it again, put his face on Chu Zhaoling's chest, and looked carefully.

The breath sprayed on the skin, causing a shudder.Chu Zhaoling lowered his gaze, looking at Shen Gu buried in his chest, at a loss.

"No blood." After checking, Shen Gu took half a step back, "This time I will bypass you first."

Chu Zhaoling lowered his head and straightened his clothes, remaining silent.

Shen Gu took the sword in Chu Zhaoling's hand, dropped his hand, and exclaimed, "It's so heavy!"

"Don't get hurt." Chu Zhaoling hurriedly reminded him because he was afraid that he might hurt himself.

There was a faint cold light on the body of the sword, the edge was extremely thin, and the blade was sharp.Shen Gu held on to the hilt of the sword, leaving a piece of the hilt empty.

"You used this sword to kill the enemy?"

Chu Zhaoling nodded, his eyes filled with nostalgia: "My father gave it to me for the first time on the battlefield."

"Then you were not afraid when you killed the first person?" Shen Gu asked a particularly silly question.

Shen Gu has always felt that there is not much difference between people's initial courage.He was restless after being assassinated last time, let alone taking someone's life at close range.

Chu Zhaoling fell silent, as if remembering.After a long time, the tone was calm: "vomiting, having nightmares, unable to eat."

A long time ago.It even once made him suspect that it was not his own memory, because he was too cowardly.

Shen Gu pursed his mouth into a line.An indescribable emotion welled up in my heart.

"Everyone has their own way to go." Chu Zhaoling looked at Shen Gu with his head down, and gently twisted the hands hidden in his sleeves to relieve the urge to rub his head, "The current road, I love so much."

Shen Gu raised his head and said sincerely: "You will definitely be a good emperor!"

Chu Zhaoling could probably guess what Shen Gu was thinking, but he didn't explain it.It is impossible for Shen Gu to abdicate. He must sit firmly on the throne.

Changed the topic: "Come back so soon, have you played enough?"

"No." Shen Gu finally remembered the purpose of the sudden return, "I saw a man carrying a basket in a restaurant. I thought it was illegal salt, but I didn't expect it to be a basket of potatoes. When did the flood of illegal salt in the capital begin? ?”

Chu Zhaoling said slowly: "In the second half of last year, a large amount of private salt poured into the city, resulting in a backlog of official salt. The government destroyed several branches, and the main nest has not been found."

"It's been so long." Shen Gu was surprised.

"Blame me, I was negligent."

Yantie official camp.The sale of private salt has been explicitly prohibited, but there are some loose ends.It's really not clean at first.Profit is the word, no matter how heavy the price is, some people will flock to it.Second, official salt is indeed expensive, and "three tans of rice per catty of salt" is not just talk.

The government has been turning a blind eye to control the private salt within a reasonable range - it will not affect the sale of official salt, and it will also allow the common people to get some supplies and relief by buying private salt.

For so many years, private salt has always been harmless to official salt.However, before I knew it, the hole was getting bigger and bigger, and even today's situation.

"How can I blame you." Shen Gu lacked confidence, "If you want to blame it, you can blame me. I am the emperor."

Although he hadn't worn it yet.

"Our family uses official salt." Shen Gu continued, "The quality is indeed not good, the degree of purification is not enough, and there are impurities."

These two points mean that more salt can be obtained and sold for more money.

Hearing the word "we", the corners of Chu Zhaoling's mouth curled slightly, and he explained: "Official salt is obtained from the government by private merchants, and the government takes a percentage of it, usually [-]%."

The places suitable for salt production are mainly distributed in the southeast coast and the salt lakes in the central hinterland. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. In addition, the demand is huge, and the government has no control over it.

And Yanyin is a legal certificate.Make salt legally, sell salt legally.Such salt is official salt, otherwise it is private salt.

In order to make profits, salt merchants will naturally increase the production of salt as much as possible, and [-]% of the profits are taken away, which together leads to the situation of high price and low quality of official salt.

After thinking about it for a while, Shen Gu understood the key point. Holding the sword in his hand, he said to himself: "Is there any way to have the best of both worlds, which can guarantee the quality of official salt and keep the price low."

Salt tax is an important source of national fiscal revenue and must not be given up.But it won't work if it goes on like this.Compared with private salt, official salt has no advantage at all. If it continues to be like this, it will not be abused by private salt.

Shen Gu thought hard.

"There is no other good way except to strengthen the ban on salt smuggling."

As soon as Chu Zhaoling finished speaking, Shen Gu hammered his palm, his bright eyes sparkled with excitement: "I know!"

"What?" Chu Zhaoling was surprised.

"I'm going to sell private salt!"

Chu Zhaoling:? ? ?

what did he say?

Shen Gu didn't pay attention to Chu Zhaoling's frozen expression, and said to himself: "I am the emperor, and the money I earn from selling private salt is not only my money, but also the country's money. If I can monopolize the private salt market in the whole country, I will keep all the money." In my pocket, the treasury also has money! It’s not perfect!”

Chu Zhaoling didn't hold back: "Believe it or not, I'll kick you!"

Shen Gu protected his butt reflexively: "What's the matter, it's a good way. If you can't beat it, just join."

Illegal salt is not clean, and official salt is too expensive, so why not sell illegal salt yourself.If other people still have selfish intentions, then Shen is the emperor, the lord of a country.His money is the country's money, and the country's money is his money.It's no different.

"Also?" Chu Zhaoling threatened.

Shen Gu was afraid of being kicked, so he ran away clutching his buttocks.After running for a few steps, he turned back, took advantage of Chu Zhaoling's inattention, and slapped Chu Zhaoling on his ass.

Tight and upright, full of elasticity.

"Hey, it feels really good!" Shen Gu ran faster than a rabbit, leaving his voice behind.

Chu Zhaoling was left alone, flustered in the wind.
