    "Isn't this blackmail? Doesn't the court care about it?" Yue Yunxi asked in surprise.

    "The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the court can't control it." Shen Yulou said slowly, the magistrate of Lancheng has a lot of backstage behind him, he, the youngest son of the Minister of the Ministry of War, can't be provoked, of course not only he can't be provoked, but many people can't be provoked  Sorry.

    "Is the prefect of Lancheng very powerful?"

    "It's not that he is very powerful, but that the people behind him are very powerful. He belongs to the fourth prince." Shen Yulou's eyes were cold. The fourth prince was also a popular candidate for the heir to the throne at the beginning, but the one who succeeded him finally became the ninth prince.  The fourth prince was very unhappy.

    "Is the fourth prince very powerful?" Yue Yunxi asked in a daze, she didn't seem to have any impression of who the fourth prince was.

    "The fourth prince almost ascended to the throne, do you think he is powerful?" Shen Yulou asked amusedly, the fourth prince is not only powerful, but also has the support of many ministers in the court. If the fourth prince rebels, Nan Qi will definitely be strong  Big injury!

    Yue Yunxi didn't ask this matter again, she didn't want to get involved in the royal battle, all she wanted to do was to do her own business well, plant herbs, open a medicine hall, and become a world-renowned doctor, she didn't want to do anything else  Regardless, let alone Xuanyuan Yongzhao's ability to ascend to the throne is not easy to bully.

    The two walked around Lancheng, only to find that pavement in a good location is outrageously expensive, and the ground in a poor location is ridiculously poor, with few people. It can be said to be desolate, and the price is not cheap.  It's difficult for people.

    "How, after a comprehensive comparison, this one is the most suitable one. Whether it is the location, the size of the shop, or the price, it is considered ideal. What do you think?"

    "It costs three thousand taels of silver for just such a shop, which is too expensive!" Yue Yunxi kept shaking her head.  Begging, originally five hundred taels of silver could buy a shop, but it was fired to three thousand taels of silver!

    Seeing the two of them wandering outside the door, the boss knew that they were interested in buying, and eagerly welcomed them in: "My lord, our shop is too good to describe, and you must have visited a lot.  The price, you can¡¯t get it anywhere, not to mention, if I sell it to you, the government will take 30% of it, even if we want to give you a cheap price, it won¡¯t be cheap.¡±

    "The government office still takes 30%?" Yue Yunxi's eyes widened. If this is the case, then Lancheng is not a good place to open a branch. Yue Yunxi feels that she needs to reconsider.

    "Yes, three thousand silver, and we have to pay six hundred taels to the government office. We are also unable to continue our business because of the exorbitant taxes in Lancheng, so we sold the shop. We plan to go back to our hometown to retire, otherwise,  How could it be so cheap?" The boss sighed.

    Yue Yunxi was silent, and Shen Yulou knew that Yue Yunxi might give up opening Jishitang in Lancheng, because of Lancheng's exorbitant taxes, her medicine shop could not open.

    "Boss, let us think about it again, the price is too high." Shen Yulou said immediately, leading Yue Yunxi out.

    As soon as Yue Yunxi went out, he said angrily: "This magistrate is too much. He treats the people under his rule so harshly. Is he still human?"

    "You're wrong. He didn't treat the people under his rule harshly. He was very generous to the local merchants in Lancheng, but he suppressed the foreign merchants in order to protect the interests of the local merchants." Shen  Yulou explained, "So the prefect of Luo in Lancheng has a high reputation in Lancheng, and the people under his rule don't need to pay tolls when entering and leaving the city, but others must pay. Foreigners who come to Lancheng to do business  Merchants have to pay high taxes, while local merchants pay less or not, which is why the imperial court can¡¯t control it.¡±

    "Then the prefect of Luo is not the local emperor of Lancheng?" Yue Yunxi asked in disbelief.

    "Yes, in Lancheng, he is the law. He has the final say on everything, and the merchants in Lancheng support him, so the court can't find an excuse to punish him." Shen Yulou sighed.  He is too good at management, protecting the whole Lancheng like an iron barrel, it is difficult for the imperial spies to come in!

    Yue Yunxi snorted twice: "At first, I was thinking about the water and land connection in Lancheng, and the business of opening a drug store here would be very good, but it turned out to be like this. Fortunately, I came here to see it in advance, otherwise, I will lose money.  You can't go to grandma's house."

    "Are you ready to go back?" Shen Yulou asked with a smile. This person came excitedly, but after turning around, he looked dejected, and the eggplant that had been beaten by Shuang was gone.

    "What if you don't go back, is it possible to stay here for supper?" Yue Yun asked.?Dejectedly, "It seems that I have to visit the other two cities, and then choose a suitable place to open a pharmacy. There is no way for Lancheng."

    "Well, let's go, if we don't go, we won't be able to go back before dark." Shen Yulou looked at the sky and reminded Yue Yunxi.

    Yue Yunxi climbed onto Little Apple's back, and patted Little Apple's stomach weakly: "Let's go, Little Apple, let's go home."

    Little Apple walked towards the gate of the city with a rattling rhythm, while Shen Yulou led the horse and followed behind. If you ride a horse in the city, it is easy to hurt people, so he plans to ride a horse after leaving the city.

    Just suddenly a horse rushed out from the side road and galloped towards them: "People in front, get out of here."

    When the other party saw someone, he rushed over without slowing down. Yue Yunxi happened to be in front of that person. If the person didn't stop, he would directly knock Yue Yunxi and Little Apple into the air.

    Shen Yulou ran up, wanting to save someone, but it was too late, the horse's hooves were raised high, and in the blink of an eye, Yue Yunxi and Little Apple were about to be trampled under the hooves, Shen Yulou's heart skipped a beat, it was over!

    Unexpectedly, the rampant horse raised its hooves and failed to step on Yue Yunxi. Instead, it fell to one side and fell directly to the ground, startling a cloud of smoke and dust, followed by a young boy howling.

    "My leg, my leg, help"

    Yue Yunxi lay weakly on Little Apple's back, and found that she couldn't do business in Lancheng. Yue Yunxi felt very disappointed. Little Apple didn't have any affection for the person who almost stepped on it, so she ran away happily  In the blink of an eye, the shadow disappeared.

    Shen Yulou looked at the young man who was crushed under the horse screaming miserably, and at Yue Yunxi who was leaving in the dust. He resolutely got on the horse and followed.  , It can be regarded as a lesson, I hope he learns his lesson, don't do such reckless things again, just look at this person's attire, he is not an ordinary person, it is better to leave quickly.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
