Chapter 58 Speechless

The Su family has built such a big business, so they are certainly not fools. Su Tao said this, which is equivalent to treating himself, the border guard general, as a fool.

Gao Yeyun suppressed his anger, still with a faint smile on his face, and said: "Since the Su family is determined to help our border town restore prosperity, we shouldn't ask for anything in return!

The current 30% commercial tax reduction is to stimulate those ordinary traders, and your Su family has a great business, so I think you don’t want these so-called discounts!"

Su Tao never expected that Gao Yeyun would give him such a reply. Not only did he not accept his conditions, he also wanted to charge the Su family full tax.

Her face changed slightly, her smile became stiff, and she said faintly: "Prince Yun is not joking, right?"

"Of course not." Gao Yeyun slowly took a sip of tea and said, "How can such a big thing be a joke?"

"So, King Yun is bullying my Su family?" Su Tao's face completely darkened and he stared at Gao Yeyun.

Gao Yeyun smiled and said, "If your Su family doesn't bully me, how can I bully you?"

Su Tao was stunned and asked: "When have we ever offended King Yun? I hope King Yun will say it clearly!"

Gao Yeyun said: "It's now!

Your Su family has obviously opened a teahouse in the border town, and there is an endless stream of tea customers every night. But now you come to me and complain that you will lose money. Do you think I am a fool?

I can tell you clearly that if your Su family wants to open teahouses, restaurants and other shops in the border town, I will welcome it.

But if you want to rely on the wealth of the Su family to bully me and force me to make some concessions, then I'm sorry, but I will make it difficult for your Su family to move forward in the border city!"

Su Tao was secretly surprised. The fact that he opened a teahouse in the city was not publicized to the outside world. How did Gao Yeyun know about it? Furthermore, how did he know that the teahouse was doing well?

Seeing the look of surprise on her face, Gao Yeyun smiled leisurely and said: "I know more than that, the drama performed in your Su family teahouse is also very lively!

Of course, this is your way of attracting tea customers and business, and I will not restrict it.

This king is just saying this to let you understand, don’t think of me as a reckless man who knows nothing but only leads troops to fight!"

Su Tao took a breath. Although she only chatted with Gao Yeyun for a few words, her attitude no longer dared to show contempt. Gao Yeyun was much more difficult to deal with than she thought.

She said quietly: "Since King Yun is a smart man, he should understand the relationship between our Su family and the dignitaries of the court. Offending us will not be good for King Yun's career, I think!"

Gao Yeyun raised his head and chuckled, and said proudly: "If I really cared about this and was really afraid of your Su family, I wouldn't have said what I just said, right?"

Su Tao looked straight at Gao Yeyun, speechless.

There was nothing she could do about her refusal to accept his softness and hardness. After she reported her family background, he would not be affected in any way. This was the first time Su Tao met such a person.

Seeing that her momentum was suppressed by him, Gao Yeyun felt somewhat comfortable.

Looking at Su Tao who was sitting in a chair in a daze, he said slowly:

"I still say what I said. I will absolutely welcome the Su family to come to the border town to do business and provide appropriate tax reductions. I can also consider it, but it cannot be as much as you said."

Hearing Gao Yeyun's tone softened, Su Tao became more energetic and asked hurriedly: "How much can King Yun reduce the business tax of my Su family by at most 10%?"

"Forty percent at most!" Gao Ye replied.

Answer simply.

Before Su Tao could speak, he continued: "A 40% commercial tax reduction is the limit that I can give at present. Since I am willing to make such a big concession to help your Su family, I hope that you Su Tao

My family can also help me!”

When Su Tao heard this, he sneered in his heart. He was asking for a favor from himself by saying this!

I thought Gao Yeyun sounded so tough and grand, and what a great person he was, but it turned out he was just a greedy person.

With a sneer on her face, she said bluntly: "No matter how many benefits King Yun wants, just tell him, as long as it is acceptable to our Su family, I will definitely satisfy King Yun!"

Gao Yeyun knew that Su Tao had misunderstood him, but he did not explain. He stood up and walked out and said, "Miss Su Tao, please follow me!"

Not knowing what medicine he was selling in his gourd, Su Tao followed Gao Yeyun curiously and asked, "Where is King Yun taking me?"

"We'll know when we get there," Gao Yeyun responded without looking back.

Su Tao is still a little embarrassed when he thinks about it now. Gao Yeyun has always been a gentleman, how could he be one of those greedy people in the market?

That day, Gao Yeyun took Su Tao directly to the bank.

Seeing Gao Yeyun take him to the hotel's bank room, Su Tao was filled with doubts and couldn't figure out what tricks he was playing.

Entering the bank, Gao Yeyun opened one of the boxes stacked inside and said:

"These are all antiques, brocades, cloths and the like. The hoarding is of no use in my hands. I want to sell it but can't find a suitable buyer.

I think Miss Su Tao will do me a favor and accept all these things.

Your Su family has so much business, it should be easy to digest this little thing."

Su Tao first looked at the many items in the box, then raised his head suspiciously, looked at Gao Yeyun and asked, "Is this what King Yun wants me to help with?"

Gao Yeyun smiled and asked, "What else?"

Su Taoyu's face turned red. He thought Gao Yeyun was implying that he would give him some benefits. It turned out that Gao Yeyun didn't mean that at all. He was just judging a gentleman with a villain's heart.

She took a deep breath and re-examined the items in the box.

Coming from a wealthy merchant family, her ability to identify goods is naturally unparalleled.

Just by looking at these items in the box, you can tell that they are of great value.

She asked: "Is that all there is?"

Gao Yeyun shook his head and said: "These are all boxes, twenty-two boxes in total."

So many! The Su family has many shops all over Feng Country. It is not difficult to sell these goods, but the twenty-two boxes of goods have to be liquidated one by one, which cannot be done in a moment.

She thought for a moment and said, "Okay! I can accept all these items from King Yun, and I will find someone to come and count them and receive them!"

"Okay!" Gao Yeyun was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Then all the stores of your Su family in the border town can be exempted from the 40% commercial tax!"

Just exempting 40% of the commercial tax is far from the goal that Su Tao had set when he came. However, Gao Yeyun is too confusing and difficult to deal with. It is very impressive to get him to relent and reduce the 40% of the commercial tax.

It's easier.

Su Tao felt mixed with joy and sorrow. After making an agreement with Gao Yeyun, he did not stay in the hotel any longer. He exchanged a few polite words with Gao Yeyun and stood up to leave.

Thinking of this, Su Tao laughed softly.

That is

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The beginning of her acquaintance with Gao Yeyun.

At that time, I didn't know that one day I would be so enamored with him.

It's not unusual to be sincere when facing such a man.

Now, she just hopes that the injured man lying on the bed can wake up.

Tonight, she thought it would be bright when she left the warm pavilion, but she didn't expect that it was only an hour later... Gao Yejing turned his head and looked at the inner room. Su Tao opened half of the window, and opened the front and back windows.

In front of me, the breeze blew on my face, and my lonely appearance surpassed the night view outside the window.

He took a deep look at Su Tao and left the Nuan Pavilion.

This night is destined to be long.

When the old military doctor came back, he was no longer in a state of embarrassment. He was as fresh and clean as an outsider. However, Su Tao sharply noticed that his fingertips were red when he was prescribing Gao Yeyun's pulse. This was obviously caused by scrubbing his hands vigorously.

Su Tao insisted on staying in front of Gao Yeyun, and shopkeeper Qian went to the outhouse.

The deputy general visited Gao Yeyun, but shopkeeper Qian did not allow him to stay long.

Some soldiers just looked out the window and left.

Shopkeeper Qian and the old military doctor took turns guarding the back room, checking Gao Yeyun's pulse every half hour. By Yinshi, there were about ten pulse records and prescriptions piled on the table, and Gao Yeyun was indeed feverish.

Shopkeeper Qian knew that it was a fluke that the operation was successful, and complications were inevitable.

Shopkeeper Qian applied acupuncture to Gao Yeyun. Nine golden needles were formed into a cluster of needles, and the meridians and acupuncture points were taken to reconcile yin and yang, strengthen the body and eliminate evil!

The old military doctor held his breath and concentrated on seeing without blinking. Shopkeeper Qian's set of plum blossom golden needles moved like clouds and flowing water when applying the needles. The needles cured the disease and restored youth!

It is said that this set of golden needles has a total of nine needles. If people ask him to treat minor illnesses, he will only administer one needle. If the illness is more serious, he can cure the disease with at most three needles.

It is said that the more needles he administers, the more serious the patient's disease is. Over the years of practicing medicine, he rarely uses nine needles!

All nine needles were used tonight. I think King Yun’s fever is extremely dangerous!

Shopkeeper Qian administered the acupuncture for about a quarter of an hour, then checked Gao Yeyun's pulse after tightening the acupuncture, and administered another acupuncture an hour later.

Two hours later, when he applied acupuncture again, he only used five golden needles. When the number of golden needles was reduced to three, Gao Yeyun's fever subsided, and it was almost noon outside.

Su Tao was overjoyed and asked, "But it's no longer a problem?"

Shopkeeper Qian put away his needle and stood up and said, "It's fine during the day, but I'll have to watch it again at night."

The joy on Su Tao's face suddenly faded away, and his heart was filled with sadness.

Gao Yejing said: "Shopkeeper Qian stayed up all night and must be tired. I ordered people to arrange for the guest room to prepare meals. Shopkeeper Qian can rest in the mansion for a while. I have to trouble Shopkeeper Qian at night."

"I don't dare." Shopkeeper Qian glanced at Gao Yejing, "This is the job of a doctor. I don't dare to take credit."

Su Tao looked at Shopkeeper Qian, his eyes full of meaning, but he nodded and smiled and said:

"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Qian. King Yun's situation last night was so dangerous that I was very worried. If I have offended him in any way, I hope Shopkeeper Qian will forgive me."

When shopkeeper Qian heard this, he just shook his head and said, "Miss Su, don't worry about it, Qian understands."

Su Tao said again: "Shopkeeper Qian, please take a rest!"

"Okay, Qian will leave first and come back at night." Shopkeeper Qian was indeed a little tired.

Before leaving, shopkeeper Qian went to the warm couch and took a look at Gao Yeyun. He was relieved when he saw that his breathing was steady.

Gao Yejing looked at Su Tao, who looked tired, and said, "Miss Su, you have been nervous for so long, it's time to take a rest."
