On the second day, as soon as the imperial carriage and his party set off, Liu Yu asked Cai Yingnu to lead the guards to take the secret ticket given by Hu Liangcheng yesterday to the next city to exchange for silver notes. Cai Yingnu was also responsible and came back within an hour. At this time, Liu Yu was leaning on the soft quilt while reading a storytelling book while watching his own woman playing cards.

"How many?" Liu Yu asked casually when he saw Cai Yingnu standing below.

"One hundred thousand taels."

Liu Yu's expression did not change much. Yesterday, he went to the city and got 100,000 taels after he came back. Liu Yuxin said that Hu Liang had made a big contribution to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu took over the silver bills, which were all large silver bills of 1,000 taels per one, and there were a total of 100. Liu Yu sighed. Since Hu Liangcheng could take out 100,000 taels to honor him, it means that Hu Liangcheng had enough corruption and bribes for hundreds of thousands of taels, and the annual fiscal and tax revenue of Andao County was only more than 100,000 taels. Hu Liangcheng had been greedy for at least four or five years of finance and taxation for the local government for more than a year after taking office. This person was still a "good player" in making money.

"This Hu surname is too lawless." When he learned that the 100,000 taels were sent by Hu Liangcheng, the prefect of Andao County, even Qier, who had always ignored these things, was angry, "My husband, let's take him to punish him."

"No hurry. If you want to punish the crime, you have to wait for us to come back. Now we have to thank him for paying money to fight us. One hundred thousand taels is really not a small amount."

Qi'er stuck out her tongue and continued to touch and play cards. Liu Yu seemed very forgetful and continued to read his storytelling book.

Seeing that Liu Yu didn't say anything to her, Cai Yingnu wanted to retreat in disappointment. Liu Yu suddenly asked again: "Guard Cai, did you ask you to enter the city and ask how the market of the blood book is. Are there any questions?"

Cai Yingnu said: "I have asked. But no one in the city dares to accept it. He said that he can't afford such a business, and no one can tell the truth."

Liu Yu said with a little anger on his face: "This Hu Liangcheng, what's wrong with giving me is this booklet. Isn't it better to just give me an extra 10,000 taels of silver? Where can I find someone to sell it for the money?"

Xu Xuanzhu smiled and said, "Let's keep it first, it's not too late to go back to Chang'an City and then take action."

"No, no, now we are short of money. If we don't have silver, we won't have to fight this battle. One tael of silver is used as ten taels of money. When we return to Chang'an City, we will not lack silver. It doesn't matter whether this broken booklet is sold or not. How far is it to the next county?"

Cai Yingnu said: "It's still ninety miles away from Huaixi County, and you may not be able to arrive today."

"Huaixi County? This place is so familiar. Is Huaishan County right in front? This is a Feng Shui treasure land."

Qier and the Han sisters were not clear, and Cai Yingnu was not clear, but Xu Xuanzhu knew very well what Liu Yu said, the Kuishui River was both the sad place for Xu Xuanzhu and the place where she and Liu Yu fell in love. Liu Yu's rise was also because of the battle against the Turkic Iron Wolf Guard by the Kuishui River.

After a day of traveling, Liu Yu deliberately asked the team to speed up. He had to rest outside Huaixi County that night. Originally, they only took sixty or seventy miles a day, but they ran more than a hundred miles on that day. There was little time to rest on the road.

When it was more than ten miles away from Huaixi County, the officials of Huaixi County also came out to welcome the carriage outside the inn. Liu Yu was waiting for this group of officials. After receiving the news, Liu Yu got off the carriage and rode his horse outside the inn before the team, and met the local official team headed by Gong Shancai, the governor of Huaixi County.

"Shancai, what a good name, Prefect Gong is good at accumulating wealth?" Liu Yu walked forward, holding Gong Shancai's shoulder and asked in parallel, like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.

Gong Shancai glared at him: "The general is joking. What is the talent that is subordinate is not wealth, but talented."

"Oh, so that's it. Haha, Prefect Gong, you know I'm a rough man, I'm good at killing enemies and other things. I'm not good at this kind of literary style. I can't compare my knowledge with a knowledgeable person like Prefect Gong."

Gong Shancai was a little confused. Liu Yu took out the book Hu Liangcheng gave him from his arms and said, "Premier Gong, I have something here. Please show it. Is it worth it?"

Gong Shancai carefully took the letter from Liu Yu's hand and looked at it. His eyes immediately widened and he asked, "How did the general get this thing?"

"An old friend gave it to you. He said it was a good thing. I don't understand. I just asked you to take a look at me. How about it, is this thing valuable?"

Gong Shancai said seriously: "This is a rare treasure post. It is easy to get a fortune, but it is difficult to get a treasure post!"

"Ah? But that's it?" Liu Yu snatched the letter from Gong Shancai and took it in his hand and observed it carefully, "Then I have to take a look. There are words written on it. Is it really worth a thousand gold? Didn't Gong Taishou lie to me?"

Gong Shancai said respectfully: "The officials dare not deceive them."

"If it's such a treasure, I don't know where to put this... I originally planned to go home to plaster the legs of the table. It turns out that this is such a good thing." Liu Yu sighed for a while, then approached Gong Shan and said, "Premier Gong, I'm just a vulgar warrior. I don't know this treasure, so it's useless to keep it. I guess Gong should be good at studying this thing, so it's better to... exchange it for a thousand gold."

"Ah?" Gong Shancai looked at Liu Yu in shock.

"Didn't Gong say that it's easy to get a thousand gold, but it's hard to get this thing. I guess this thing is above the value of a thousand gold. Now you are cheaper than Gong, and you will sell your thousand gold. What do you think?"

According to the market conditions, a thousand gold is only 20,000 to 30,000 taels of silver. Gong Shancai looked embarrassed: "General Haihan, the subordinates don't have that much gold, so they can't afford it."

Liu Yuxin said he had known that he had already known who Gong Shancai was before he came. He was very clear about it. He was an old scholar who only believed in the truth. He did not know how to adapt and did not know how to make money. It would be better to say that he was a stupid official, and he was not greedy for money and could not manage the place well. Gong Shancai's meanness had long been famous.

Liu Yu sighed: "This is a good thing, but now I know it's worth a thousand gold. I would have sold it if I had known it. I don't like these things in my daily life, but I like silver... gold and other things. You said, my old friend gave me such a thing, isn't that wasteful? Gong Taishou, why not do this? Just go back to Huaixi County and ask if anyone likes this thing and asks him to buy it with thousand gold."

Gong Shancai blinked, and he didn't dare to know the vulgar and greedy man in front of him.

"The general is rich in all over the world, and he still... lacks this little money?"

Liu Yu sighed again: "No one cares too much money, do you always say it? Is it because Prefect Gong doesn't give face and doesn't plan to help this little?"

Gong Shancai had a bitter face. He originally welcomed the emperor according to etiquette, but who knew that he was slandered by Liu Yu when he came up. Now he asked him to go back and help contact the person who was slandered. Gong Shancai felt as shameless as a matchmaker, but when he saw Liu Yu finally looked stern and wanted to slaughter someone, he could only swallow his saliva and said, "Sir... I'll go back and ask."

Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Premier Gong is worthy of being a person who likes to help others."

Liu Yu smiled and sent Gong Shancai away, then he returned to his original appearance and smiled slightly. At this time, Liu Zhao and Liu Ding appeared in front of Liu Yu again. Liu Zhao still looked like someone owed him money, but at this time, Liu Ding seemed to have done something wrong and did not dare to look up and face Liu Yu.

"What are you going to do?" Liu Zhao saw Liu Yu say a few words to Gong Shancai, the prefect of Huaixi County, in a distance. Gong Shancai hurried back to the city, and asked in a slight manner when he came over.

"Oh, my father. I met an old friend and chatted with him for a few words."

Liu Zhao already knew his son's heroic deeds by the Kuishui River, but as far as he knew, the former governor of Huaixi County was not Gong Shancai now. Liu Yu said he was an old friend, and most of it was a shirk.

"Let your seventh brother stay by your side. For your father, I want to know what you are doing, do you know?"

Liu Yu nodded with a smile and said, "Then let's do it according to my father's wishes."

Liu Zhao left Liu Ding, and he seemed to leave with peace of mind. Only Liu Yu and Liu Ding were left, and Liu Ding's expression became even more unnatural.

"Brother Qi, we left too quickly yesterday and forgot to ask, Brother Qi, you're done...but is it done?"

Liu Ding's expression on his cheek was very unnatural. He lowered his head, nodded first, and then shook his head.

"Is it done... or not?" Liu Yu asked again with concern.

Liu Ding stammered: "It's over at the beginning."

"Oh, so that's the case. I'm really embarrassed. But Brother Qi, don't worry. You know and I know this. I won't be gossiping. I guess Brother Qi, you can't?"

Liu Ding nodded: "Yes."

"This is a good brother." Liu Yu hugged Liu Ding's shoulders, making Liu Ding feel ashamed.

Liu Yu had known for a long time that there would definitely be a lot of things to let Liu Zhao go with the carriage, and Liu Zhao was nominally his father. Nowadays, his father and brother are more polite than each other. Liu Yu could not look at Liu Zhao's face even if he was in a high position, otherwise he would be gossiped about it. Now Liu Zhao is confident that Liu Ding is a "good baby", and he was bribed by Liu Yu with one move, which was unexpected by Liu Zhao.

Liu Yu and Liu Ding made arrangements in the inn. After a while, the emperor's carriage arrived outside the inn. Liu Yu first settled the female family, and after he came out, he saw Gong Shancai back alone.

"Premier Gong, is there a trap?" Liu Yu stepped forward and asked.

Gong Shancai's face turned a little embarrassed, and Liu Yu's face immediately became cold: "Premier Gong won't come back empty-handed, right?"

Liu Yu expected that if there was no news, he would not have come back so soon. There was only one explanation for going back, that is, Gong Shan found the buyer.

Gong Shancai quickly said, "General, the prefect of Huaixi County is the Qingshui Yamen. We, the officials, do not have this daughter to exchange this treasure letter with the general. But there is a wealthy man in the city who wants to exchange two thousand gold for this item in the hands of the general, but I don't know the general..."

Liu Yu finally knew why Gong Shancai was so embarrassed. Nowadays, as long as he was a merchant, he had no status, and a "giant rich man" would be to put it bluntly, a businessman with a poor social status. Gong Shancai was afraid that the children of the aristocratic family of Liu Yu looked down on merchants and refused to do business with them.

The wealthy himself is willing to pay twice as much as a "snatch" in order to change his social status.
