Chapter 204

Even if he didn't ask, Shang Shuqing was ready to explain clearly. Now that he asked, there was no need to beat around the bush. He nodded and said, "It depends on what to say if you're nervous, but there are indeed many places where money is urgently needed. To secure the army and comfort the people, to guard against the soldiers, money is needed everywhere."

Niu Youdao teased: "Didn't it happen once like in Canglu County, where they robbed the rich and helped the poor? The whole Qingshan County is much bigger than Canglu County."

What he said was that when he first settled down in Canglu County, Shang Chaozong copied all the wealthy households in the county and quickly raised a batch of money and food.

Shang Shuqing shook her head: "It's not that I didn't have that idea, but this time and that time, I was able to succeed because Canglu County didn't have any defenses, I didn't know that my brother would attack suddenly. The situation in Qingshan County during the war was different. The local wealthy households had enough time to run away ahead of time, and took away everything they could take away. Only some property that could not be taken away was left. For example, the house where the Daoist lived in front of me is like this, so not much property was swept away!"

"As for the people, my brother has already ordered a tax collection to meet their needs. If it weren't for that collection, even the ten thousand gold coins would be too much for the time being. My brother has just entered Qingshan County, and the people are still restless, suspicious and waiting to see. The tax has just been collected. If the tax is collected again after a short period of time, I am afraid that the hearts of the people will be lost. Once the frightened people flee or cooperate with the court people, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Niu Youdao nodded slightly. It is conceivable that Tianyumen's support is for the purpose of grabbing benefits. It is impossible for Tianyumen to invest a lot of money after laying down a territory. They let you guard the side on behalf of them.

Tianyumen knows that it is good not to ask you for money for the time being difficult here, but you still want to take money out of other people's pockets?

Before the turnover can't be opened, you will have nowhere to go. Why does Tianyumen want you to guard the side?

And Feng Lingbo didn't get benefits from Qingshan County, but brought in a lot of people and supplies. He was already unhappy, and Feng Lingbo would not help here in large quantities.

This is my negligence! Niu Youdao remained silent, stretched out his hand to press the gold ticket on the coffee table, and slowly pushed it back to Shang Shuqing's side.

This obviously meant not to accept it, Shang Shuqing looked cautious, "Do you think Daoist is too little?"

Niu Youdao nodded: "If this is an offering for me, then the money is indeed a little short, and I don't know how to distribute it to everyone." He turned his head and looked at Yuan Gang and others.

Being disgusted by people face to face is really embarrassing.

Shang Shuqing's ugly face was instantly full of embarrassment, the feeling of shyness in his pocket was uncomfortable, and his tone was slightly pleading: "Master Dao has shown great kindness to my brothers and sisters. Without Dao Master, my brothers and sisters would not be today. We also know that this little money can't be handed out. However, it is really difficult here. When Qingshan County recovers, the due offerings will be supplied to Dao Master. At present..."

Niu Youdao raised his hand to interrupt: "The princess misunderstood, I mean, the princess has underestimated Niu, I am not short of this expense."

As he said that, he turned around and beckoned to Yuan Gang, "Let's take 200,000 yuan for the prince's emergency."

Without saying a word, Yuan Gang took out a stack of gold tickets, counted twenty, and walked towards Shang Shuqing in a daze. The twenty gold tickets with a face value of 10,000 were placed in front of Shang Shuqing, and then they were returned.

Shang Shuqing stared blankly at the stack of golden tickets, then looked up at Niu Youdao with extremely complicated eyes.

Niu Youdao stretched out his hand and said: "The princess will take the two hundred thousand gold coins and hand them over to the prince for emergency."

For him, it is impossible for him to let other forces dominate Shang Chaozong's side all the time, that would be detrimental to his safety. He worked hard to help and support Shang Chaozong, not only for the Shang brothers and sisters, but also for the safety of the present, future and future, to give an explanation to those who followed him and those who worked for him.

Therefore, sooner or later, he will compete with Tianyumen for the dominance of the Shang Dynasty, but it is not the time to attack, since Tianyumen refuses to help, then he will not be polite.

Shang Shuqing instantly had the feeling of being humiliated and slapped in the face in public, and offered 10,000 gold coins to others, but they didn't want them, and instead offered 200,000 gold coins to this side for emergency.

This was a result she had never expected, and it made her feel so embarrassed!

His face was already flushed red, and his face became more and more ugly. He stood up and bit his lip with his silver teeth.

Before she could say anything, Niu Youdao seemed to know what she was thinking, and waved his hand and said: "Princess, please don't misunderstand, this money is temporarily lent to the prince, not for free, and will be returned to me later when conditions are met."

Qingshan County is tight on hand and can't borrow money. Now some people are willing to borrow money without attaching any conditions. Don't you want to be proud?

Although Shang Shuqing didn't want it, facing the reality, it was hard to refuse.

In the end, he accepted it with embarrassment and embarrassment.

When she returned to the sheriff's mansion in front, someone immediately led her to the prince's study, where Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting were waiting for her.

As soon as they met, seeing that Shang Shuqing's expression was not right, Shang Chao Zongli asked, "Qing'er, how are you?"

Shang Shuqing took out a 10,000 gold ticket from his sleeve and put it on the desk.

Lan Ruoting and Shang Chaozong looked at each other, Shang Chaozong tried to ask: "Does he think it's too small to confiscate it?"

Shang Shuqing took out another stack of gold tickets from her sleeve and put them on the table.

Lan Ruoting and Shang Chaozong were stunned. Lan Ruoting took the golden ticket and said in astonishment, "Two hundred thousand? Princess, what's going on?"

"Master Dao learned that the money here is tight, so he lent us 200,000 gold tickets for emergency..."

After Shang Shuqing explained the general situation, the study fell into silence.

After a long time, Shang Chaozong muttered, "Where did he get so much money?"

Lan Ruoting: "Before, Tianyumen asked us if we knew about his looting of Liuxianzong, Fuyunzong, and Lingxiu Mountain's Star Picking Shop. The money is probably related to that. It's just that the three factions came to join us again. We don't know about the kindness and grudge, and we don't know how the master did it."

Zonglue of the Shang Dynasty was silent, and suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, "I don't seem to lack anything, so what else can I give you?"

Lan Ruoting and Shang Shuqing were also silent, and they both understood his feeling that there was nothing to reward. Others were blindly asking for it, but Daoist was blindly giving. It can be said that they did not take advantage of them from the beginning to the end...

In the early morning of the next day, Yuan Gang was hanging on a horizontal bar with both hands. He had been hanging for a long time by the strength of his arms, and he was also exercising the strength of his hands.

Several monks from Nanshan Temple were cleaning the courtyard, sweeping the floor.

It's always been like this before, and now it's just back to normal.

Most of Niu Youdao's basic daily life is managed by this group of monks. From the daily food poison test, clothes washing and drying, to the living environment hygiene, every link is taken care of by the monks of Nanshan Temple.

This is also what Yuan Gang meant. In Niu Youdao's daily life, Yuan Gang has drawn up detailed steps in every link, so that this group of monks will strictly implement it, and will not let other outsiders intervene.

In the peaceful morning light, Hei Mudan came from the sound of sweeping the floor, walked to Niu Youdao's room door, knocked on the door, and pushed the door open after getting permission.

After a while, Hei Mudan opened several windows of Niu Youdao's room from the inside.

Yuan Gang, who was hanging on the horizontal bar, turned his head and saw Niu Youdao sitting in front of the dressing table from the window, and Hei Mudan began to comb Niu Youdao's hair.

And at this moment, Shang Shuqing also came, smiling and nodding to the monk who had paused to sweep the floor in the yard, and also nodded to Yuan Gang who was hanging on the horizontal bar.

The next moment, after seeing the black peony in the window being groomed by Niu Youdao, Shang Shuqing stopped and stared blankly.

Naturally, she came here as before. She was the one who combed Niu Youdao's hair before. Now that Niu Youdao is back, she intends to continue the past.

Before coming, she also hesitated whether to come or not. After all, Master Dao already had a black peony with that kind of relationship by his side, and she came here after struggling for a while, but what she saw made her bow her head secretly, and a sad look flashed in her eyes.

I thought I was self-aware, able to think about it and face it calmly, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I found that my heart was still not in a good mood.

"Hi!" Yuan Gang, who was hanging on the horizontal bar, exhaled suddenly, and he made a flipping movement on the horizontal bar.

Niu Youdao, who was sitting in front of the dressing table with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, and Hei Mudan, who was grooming him carefully, also looked up out of the window.

When the two saw Yuan Gang's movements, they also saw Shang Shuqing standing quietly in the courtyard.

Niu Youdao glanced meaningfully at Yuan Gang who had jumped off the horizontal bar and strode away, tilted his head slightly and said, "Please come here, princess."

Then Hei Mudan let go, put down the comb and went out, and soon invited Shang Shuqing in.

"What's the princess?" Niu Youdao asked with a smile.

Shang Shuqing said softly, "Come here and see if the Taoist is used to the new place."

Niu Youdao snorted, "I thought the princess was here to comb my hair."

Shang Shuqing glanced at Hei Mudan, "Sister Mudan will do it for her, so there's no need for Qing'er to be rough-handed."

Niu Youdao: "She? She's the one with rough hands and feet, not as good as you."

Hei Mudan rolled her eyes, and cursed inwardly for being heartless, my old lady has served you for so long in vain, and all she got in exchange for a rough hand?

"Go and prepare water for washing." Niu Youdao turned his head and said to Hei Mudan.

"Yes!" Hei Mudan replied and left.

There were only two people left in the room, quiet, and Niu Youdao, who hadn't finished combing his hair, slowly closed his eyes again.

Not knowing whether to leave or stay, Shang Shuqing shaved her lips slightly with her white teeth, walked gently to the dressing table, took the comb, walked behind Niu Youdao, and combed carefully.

It doesn't matter who it is, it feels comfortable and familiar, Niu Youdao can know that it is Shang Shuqing even if he doesn't know it with his eyes closed, it's completely different from the feeling of Black Peony's hands, it's the gentleness, care, and comfort that flows quietly that can be felt in every strand of hair.

While Black Peony can always use a comb to forcefully pull out a few strands of your hair when combing, Shang Shuqing will not have this kind of situation, and will only make you feel that combing your hair is a kind of enjoyment.

I got a good night's sleep when I came back outside. I will start to adjust the update today, and I will gradually repay the debts tomorrow.
