Chapter 338 Why Not Do It
Shitou hurriedly took the letter into the study and handed it to Xiao Yu, "Master, this letter should have been sent by Miss Gu."
Xiao Yu quickly opened it, and there was another layer inside, with Xiao Yu's words written on it.
Xiao Yu looked at those three words and was stunned for a moment. Thinking that his name was written by her herself, his heart suddenly became hot.
He suddenly became cautious in his movements, picked up the paper knife on the desk and opened the letter.
The letter was not long, just one page. Xiao Yu read it, folded the letter as it was, put it into the envelope, tapped his fingers on the table, and chuckled: "This girl is so young and so brave, she actually wants to buy a boat. Go to sea and invite me to come with you.”
Shitou's eyebrows moved, "Then the prince will do it or not?"
A sly smile appeared on Xiao Yu's lips: "Why don't you do something to make money?"
Shi Tou glanced at him carefully, "But the eldest son is in charge of the fleet in the palace. If the prince does something, will the eldest son--"
Xiao Yu sneered, "I do mine and he does his. I don't interfere with the fleet in the mansion, so it has nothing to do with him."
"In the past few years, my father has entrusted the fleet to him, and he has made a lot of money in private."
"Why can't I do what he does?"
Shi Shi was silent for a while, "Then, do you want to tell the prince?"
Xiao Yu waved his hand, "No need. I will use my own money to buy a few boats and go to sea. No one can control them."
"If your father asks me, I will have something to say."
He pondered for a moment, "You don't have to go to the military camp with me tomorrow. You go find Miss Gu to help get this thing done. After that, you let Manager Chen do the shopping. How much money do I need in my private treasury? Get the sign."
Shitou responded and retreated.
When Gu Fei opened the door early the next morning, she heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the street.
She raised her head and looked outside, and saw Xiao Yu riding a horse and stopping briefly at the door. He looked at her deeply and then rode away.
Instead, Shitou got off his horse and walked in with a young boy with a smile.
Gu Fei hurriedly greeted him, "Brother Shitou, did you receive the letter from yesterday?"
Shitou smiled and said, "That's why I came here."
"The prince asked me to help the girl get this done."
Gu Fei was overjoyed and sent Xiaolu to the next door to call Mr. Zhou, and then asked Mr. Zhou to send someone to call Young Master Zhu.
Not long after, Young Master Zhou came over first. While waiting for a cup of tea, Young Master Zhu came over with an old man.
Young Master Zhu first introduced the old man to Gu Fei, "This is Master Yu. He has been running a boat all his life. He was the leader of another fleet before. I specially invited him here."
Master Yu quickly turned his back on Gu Fei and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper Gu. I have long admired your reputation."
Along the way, Young Master Zhu talked a lot about the importance of Miss Gu. Whether he could make money from this trip to sea would largely depend on whether he could win over the son-in-law.
Gu Fei smiled and said, "Hello, Master Yu. Please take a seat."
Several people saw Shitou again. Although Shitou was a young man, he represented the prince, and no one dared to neglect him.
Young Master Zhu took a sip of tea first, and then said: "Since the prince is willing to join the gang, what I mean is that the ships we buy will be put in the prince's name. When the goods arrive at the port, half of the goods will be given to the prince. Brother Shitou, what do you think?"
Usually, when goods arrive at the port, the government takes 10% of the goods, and the officials privately take 10%. In addition, there is a tax of 30%.
Officials dare not take a cut of the prince's ship privately, but they can still earn half a percent more.
