I'm the one running the game

After returning to Langya Pavilion, Lu Xingshi immediately looked through the account book. With his 1,000 points in business, accounting and other related abilities, he found a lot of account problems.

Murong Xuan also took a look and found huge holes everywhere.

If it weren't for Lu Xingshi's help, he really couldn't see where the problem was.

As for the small holes, Lu Xingshi didn't hold them too tight. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. It's not so easy to check those small things.

It's better to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

"This group of people is too bold. I'm not those stingy shopkeepers. How dare they do this." Murong Xuan's face was very ugly.

The hole that Lu Xingshi roughly estimated alone was as huge as 100,000 taels.

Even if he was a man of the world, he knew what 100,000 taels meant, but it also indirectly expressed how high the profit and popularity of Langya paper were.

100,000 taels was just a hole, not all.

"It's normal that people are greedy and want more than they can chew." Lu Xingshi was not surprised by this. Everyone is greedy, and he is too, but he is not greedy for money.

"Just deal with these people who have stretched their hands too far, and then conduct a self-examination and warn them not to do it for real."

"Langya Pavilion still needs them to make money." Lu Xingshi also reminded.

He was actually more worried that Murong Xuan would take action directly and kill too hard, causing problems in business operations.

Murong Xuan is a man of the world after all, and his hatred for corrupt officials is very high. If he really doesn't give a good solution, Murong Xuan's solution will only be to kill.

Hearing Lu Xingshi's words, Murong Xuan also forced himself to suppress his anger: "Then if someone commits it again next time..."

"Then deal with it again, this kind of thing can't be stopped." Lu Xingshi looked indifferent.

"But..." Murong Xuan wanted to say something else.

"Master, let's talk business. A little money can buy stability, which is very good."

"We can't prohibit people's desires. They are not saints or wooden people. There are gains and losses." Lu Xingshi knew Murong Xuan's thoughts.

If this kind of thing can be solved, the world will be peaceful and prosperous, but even the saint can't do this.

"Alas, you are more evil than me after going out." Murong Xuan sighed.

"???" Lu Xingshi looked like he was in a mess. Is this a compliment or a scolding?

"Okay, it's good to hand over Langya Pavilion to you. Maybe one day it will become the second Wen Dao Hall." Murong Xuan also sighed.

"This is not a good thing. Wen Dao Hall was completely destroyed by me." Lu Xingshi reminded him.

"Uh... okay." Murong Xuan also reacted. Wen Dao Hall was indeed at its peak, but the end was a bit bad.

"But then again, the direction of these 100,000 taels seems a bit strange." Lu Xingshi changed the subject.

"What do you mean?" Murong Xuan couldn't understand these things anyway, so it would be more convenient to ask Lu Xingshi directly.

Lu Xingshi looked at the accounts and the relevant trends of the major money houses. His Langya Pavilion was naturally a major customer of the major money houses, especially in terms of capital flow, most of which used flying money as currency, so he naturally asked for some of the account books related to their funds in the money houses.

With paper coupons, money can be taken without transportation, so it is called "flying money".

Otherwise, 100,000 taels of silver would be five tons.

"It was transferred to Tongzhou and then taken away. I remember that our business in Tongzhou doesn't seem to be much." Lu Xingshi said.

Tongzhou is located in a remote area. If there is any stereotype, it is exile.

"Tongzhou? I have heard a little about it recently." Murong Xuan frowned, as if he remembered something: "I remember that Tongzhou has been rainless for two months, and the people have no harvest, but it is difficult to tell whether this is true or not, and the court has not issued any notice."

"So long?" Lu Xingshi was also a little surprised.

The number of consecutive days without rainfall is more than 61 days in spring, more than 46 days in summer, and more than 91 days in autumn and winter.

Now it is summer, and it is definitely a drought.

This is an ancient society, unlike modern society, where water conservancy projects are developed and there are various scientific assistances. Here, people in the martial arts world cannot call the wind and rain, so if they really encounter natural disasters, they have no means to deal with them.

At most, the emperor will issue a self-blame edict.

"It's just heard, it hasn't been confirmed yet." Murong Xuan didn't dare to be sure whether it was true or false.

Tongzhou is too far away from them, and Murong Xuan is also worried that this is a link in the hole in the account book, which is used to blind his judgment.

This is not impossible to happen.

Lu Xingshi nodded: "Yes, people's hearts are hard to tell."

"But now even if the court knows that Tongzhou is suffering from a severe drought, it can't spare any effort." Lu Xingshi knew that the court has been busy recently.

The struggle in the court has come to an end. Without Cai Qiuhe and Wendao Hall, the old emperor has used all means to collect all power and began to suppress the Five Spirits Sect.

According to this situation, if the Five Spirit Sect had a little more sense and dismantled itself, there would be no follow-up. Even if it was dismantled in public, it would still be an alliance in secret.

Unfortunately, the Five Spirit Sect was rebuilt with great difficulty, and naturally withstood the pressure, so Lu Xingshi would probably hear the news of the destruction of the Five Spirit Sect in a few days.

The reunification of the five veins was secondary, and the main thing was that after they had the "Five Emperors' Pardon Order", they were still looking for the corresponding divine weapons and the state.

This is tantamount to directly expressing the four words "I want to rebel" in the eyes of the Dasong royal family, so it is difficult to survive.

Although Lu Xingshi is so powerful and has also created Langya paper, the court has no intention of targeting him. The reason is very simple. As long as you are not greedy for power or have ideas about their Dasong, the court can tolerate it.

"Besides, Tongzhou is just Tongzhou, a poor and remote place. Apart from the poor people, there are only criminals. Even if there is a severe drought, the court will not care about these things." Lu Xingshi knows that the efficiency and measures of rescue are different wherever the drought occurs.

In Jiangnan, memorials would have been flying all over the sky, and the old emperor would even have to work together with the ministers who were to be cleared by him.

Jiangnan is rich and has a lot of food, which is indispensable for Dasong. Tongzhou is mountainous and has poisonous insects and miasma, and it is not a dangerous place. It has little value at all. At most, it is rich in minerals. However, if the minerals are rich, there are also other places, or even more.

Dasong can do without Tongzhou, but it cannot do without Jiangnan.

Therefore, if they really want to go to the disaster relief, they will only express it to save face, and there will not be too many actions.

Of course, this is a comprehensive consideration. It is not so easy for Dasong to recover from the overall weakness caused by the million-year-old gift.

The million-year-old gift is not really worth only one million taels of silver, and its actual value is immeasurable.

"If there is a severe drought in Tongzhou, I think..." Murong Xuan said after a pause.

"Do you want to help with the disaster?" Lu Xingshi continued.

Murong Xuan is a very traditional man of the rivers and lakes. When he was young, he also robbed the rich to help the poor and killed corrupt officials. He was also a serious knight.

Later, he met the previous emperor and the current emperor, and with Langya Pavilion as his backstage and sufficient qualifications, he did not experience much beating.

It is inevitable that there is sympathy. Lu Xingshi is better. It doesn't matter if he hasn't seen it. Only when he sees it will he have empathy.

"Yes." Murong Xuan certainly couldn't act as he wished. After all, the family business of Langya Pavilion was also run by Lu Xingshi, so he had to ask for Lu Xingshi's consent.

Even though he was Lu Xingshi's master, he was not one of those old stubborn people who always thought that everything of his disciples belonged to him.

If Lu Xingshi disagreed, he would not mobilize the relevant resources of Langya Pavilion, but would only use his own resources for limited rescue.

"Okay, just consider it as a good deed." Lu Xingshi did not refuse. If there was a drought, he would definitely help within his ability.

"But you have to think clearly. If the court does not intervene, this may be a bottomless pit, and it may even drag us to death."

Lu Xingshi also pointed out the disadvantages.

If they dare to intervene, they may be targeted by the court.

Although the drought in Tongzhou is not important, it is because no one cares about it. Now Langya Pavilion is a big family, and once it enters, it will definitely attract attention.

Then there will definitely be someone who wants to make a lot of money from Langya Pavilion. Then, it goes without saying that the price will be raised. It will not only be raised for them, but also for the entire Dasong market. This move will even involve the court. The court did not need to spend such a large amount of money, but it was dragged to pay.

Who can accept this?

Lu Xingshi told Murong Xuan about these speculations, and Murong Xuan was also stunned. He did not expect that it would cause such a big vortex.

"Master, the current Langya Pavilion is no longer a small sect with only you and me. Every move can affect the change of interests."

"Once you take action, there is no way back." Lu Xingshi said.

If you want to do it, do it to the best of your ability. There is no such thing as giving up halfway.

"As long as you support me, I will not regret it!" Murong Xuan still believes in Lu Xingshi's idea.

At worst, I will go back to the Langya Pavilion.

Lu Xingshi just doesn't know Murong Xuan's idea, otherwise he would just say it's too naive.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lu Xingshi agreed directly, and then said: "Before that, we have to confirm the authenticity of the drought in Tongzhou."

"So you go?" Murong Xuan spoke first.

"Master, you are too much. I have already paid, and you still want me to work?" Lu Xingshi didn't expect Murong Xuan to speak before him, and then said: "Besides, I don't have time. I have just started my own practice."

"Create while walking. This kind of thing is not so fast. Natural disasters don't wait for anyone."

"I will start preparing here. After you confirm it, I will escort the supplies to find you." Murong Xuan will naturally not leave everything to Lu Xingshi. He will also go, but someone has to prepare various matters. Lu Xingshi is definitely unwilling to do these things, so he can only do it.
