Chapter 433 The time travelers obsession with showing off
Half an hour later, everything that happened in the morning court had reached Wei Changtian's ears.
And after he heard the news that Ning Yongnian decided to open a warehouse to store grain, he also had a smile on his face like Wei Xianzhi.
Yes, all of this was actually designed by him and Wei Xianzhi.
Wei Xianzhi deliberately behaved so arrogantly in the early morning in order to force Ning Yongnian to open a position to save the market.
After all, the purpose of Wei Changtian's economic war was not to starve the people of Daning to death, but to attack Ning Yongnian, or the Daning court.
Then, he must force Ning Yongnian to use "reserves" to save the market.
Daning is currently fighting on two fronts in Dafeng and Shuzhou, and the national treasury has become tight.
Nowadays, coupled with the large quantities of grain released at low prices... I think Ning Yongnian has begun to worry about money.
No matter what era, wars are fought for money.
But in ancient times, unlike modern times, currency can be issued infinitely, so Ning Yongnian only had two channels to make money -
One, grab the big ones.
Second, exploit the common people.
Judging from Daning's current expenses for maintaining two wars, the money that can be obtained through the former channel is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.
After all, the richest wealthy family in Daning now lives in Shuzhou City.
Then Ning Yongnian can only make up for the financial gap through the latter method.
Increase taxes, reduce official salaries, and even reduce military pay... It is foreseeable that these policies will be introduced one after another in the near future.
At that time, Wei Changtian's ultimate goal will be achieved.
For this reason, he doesn't mind making things even bigger.
"Is it food?"
"Hmph, I want to see how much food you have available..."
Wei Changtian muttered with a sinister smile, and suddenly felt that he must look like a big profiteer now.
Tsk tsk tsk, I’m so bad!
After saying "praise" to himself with satisfaction in his heart, he calmed down his expression, raised his head and asked Zhang San.
"Where is Xu Suisui? Why haven't you recovered after so long?"
"Go back to the young master, Miss Xu..."
"Brother! I'm coming!"
Before Zhang San finished speaking, another crisp voice floated in from outside the room.
"For a blind date, I always have to dress up nicely!"
blind date......
The corners of Wei Changtian's mouth twitched slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at Xu Suisui, who had just come in from the door.
"What's the difference between you today and before? Where are your clothes?"
"Oh you don't understand!"
Xu Suisui was very proud: "You can't tell the difference! This is called scheming makeup!"
"Scheming makeup?"
"It's just a kind of makeup that you straight men can't see!"
Xu Suisui was too lazy to explain to Wei Changtian. He just answered casually and shouted to leave quickly.
Wei Changtian rolled his eyes and explained in a low voice to Zhang San who was a little confused as he walked:
"Zhang San, the so-called straight man is... an upright man."
"Oh I got it."
Zhang San nodded with sudden realization, and then said with some regret:
"Sir, I'm afraid I'm not a straight man anymore."
"Well, you really can't be considered a straight man."
Wei Changtian patted Zhang San on the shoulder and sighed: "Actually, neither am I."
"really."
Zhang San immediately agreed: "Young master, you are indeed not upright."
Wei Changtian: "???"
...
...
Another half hour passed.
Just when Ning Yongnian immediately released the news of "opening warehouses to help the market" in an attempt to boost "market confidence", Wei Changtian and Xu Suisui had already arrived at Weiyang Palace and saw Shen Ran and Returned to Peian.
Wei Changtian didn't ask why Shen Ran didn't come to see him, but the former took the initiative to give the reason.
Shen Ran said that he originally wanted to understand Hengqu's four sentences and then pay a visit, so that he could ask Wei Changtian about the problems.
However, due to my dull mind, I couldn't understand the true meaning for several days, so I never had the nerve to go.
Obviously, this reason was a bit forced, and Wei Changtian was filled with disbelief.
But he didn't bother to guess what Shen Ran was waiting for.
Anyway, since I'm here today, I can finally start implementing my "genius plan"——
With Shen Ran's hand, all the fortune of the Son of Heaven was freed.
Of course, before that, Xu Suisui's "blind date" issue must be dealt with first.
"..."
"Ahem, Mr. Shen, return to the chief assistant."
With a dry cough, Wei Changtian pointed to Xu Suisui, who looked disappointed, and solemnly introduced: "This is my cousin, Xu Suisui."
"She has been fond of poetry since she was a child, and her level of poetry writing is not inferior to mine. It's just that she has always been low-key before, so her reputation is not obvious."
"Today she heard that I was coming to see the Chief Assistant, so she insisted on coming to see the Chief Assistant. Haha, I hope you two don't blame me..."
Wei Changtian's introduction gave Xu Suisui enough face.
However, the latter didn't appreciate it. He had been looking at Wei Changtian angrily from the moment he entered the door, his eyes seemed to say -
You big liar! Why is this Shen Ran so handsome?!
"Sister, what are you doing standing still?"
Wei Changtian could probably guess what Xu Suisui was thinking now. Although he was helpless, he couldn't get angry in front of Shen Ran and Gui Pei'an, so he kept secretly reminding Xu Suisui to give him some face.
The latter was also wise, and after glaring at Wei Changtian, he gave him a half-blessing.
"My little daughter has met Gui Shoufu and Mr. Shen..."
"haha okay."
Facing this reluctant greeting, Gui Pei'an just smiled meaningfully and said nothing more.
However, Shen Ran returned the gift seriously.
"I've met Miss Xu."
"Sui Sui...Long live Qianqiu, wheat ears are divided, what a good name."
"..."
Look! Look!
People who actually have ink in their stomachs speak differently!
Wei Changtian instantly remembered that when he first heard Xu Suisui's name, his first reaction was "broken peace", and he suddenly felt like a country bumpkin.
Not only Wei Changtian wanted to applaud Shen Ran, but even Xu Suisui seemed a little surprised at the moment.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After all, she has traveled through time for half a year, and this is the first time she knows the meaning of her name.
"That...sister, Mr. Shen."
Sensing the change in Xu Suisui's eyes, Wei Changtian seized the opportunity and said quickly: "I have something to discuss with Gui Shoufu alone, so you two can talk casually first."
"Sister, Mr. Shen is the holy son of Kuixing Academy, and he has extremely high attainments in poetry. You must not be as arrogant as you are at home."
After reminding Xu Suisui, Wei Changtian quickly left together with Gui Peian, who had already understood something.
It wasn't until the two of them disappeared completely that Xu Suisui came back to his senses and looked up at Shen Ran curiously.
Although he is not handsome, but as Wei Changtian said, his temperament is indeed good.
But I always feel like it doesn’t suit me...
Xu Suisui's psychological activities became richer and richer the more he stared at her, but Shen Ran was a little hairy by her stare. After holding it in for a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask:
"Miss Xu, why don't we sit down and talk?"
"Oh, okay..."
Xu Suisui nodded and sat down, being very "ladylike" and not crossing her legs.
The two of them sat there staring at each other for a while, and finally Shen Ran forced himself to find a topic.
"Ahem, Miss Xu."
"I just heard Mr. Wei say that you have been fond of poetry since you were a child. I think you will compose poetry regularly on weekdays."
"I don't know, girl..."
"Hmm? Writing poetry?"
Before Shen Ran could finish speaking, Xu Suisui's eyes suddenly lit up, and his whole body suddenly became energetic.
Her expression now is exactly the same as when Wei Changtian finally got the chance to recite the song "Clouds Think of Clothes, Flowers Think of Face".
It’s the time traveler’s obsession with showing off, that’s right!
"Master Shen! You want to hear me recite, ah, no, how about composing a poem?!"
...
ps: Let me talk about it here. Some people say that the character Xu Suisui seems to be a bit abrupt, but she is an important character throughout the book until the ending. As you read on, you will understand why she is portrayed in this way.
