The best county magistrate

Chapter 270 Undercurrent

The next day.

Butterfly rubbed her cheek and looked at Yang Xuanchen's refreshed face with resentment, and she was so angry that she couldn't control herself.

What does it mean to be still young? What does it mean to have just reached the age of marriage and not yet fully developed?

Why do you have so many excuses and tease me for so long, but when it's right in front of your mouth, you don't want to eat it.

If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it. But you ask me to eat it. If I hadn't seen your serious look, I would have thought you were not capable of it.

"Xiao Fudie, you can handle the next thing on your own. I'm going to go and trick those two stupid princes..."

Seeing Yang Xuanchen pulling up his trousers and walking away with a 28-step pace, Butterfly spat secretly, feeling a little worried.

However, when she thought of the bowl of heart-shaped wontons that Yang Xuanchen made last night, a sweet smile appeared on her face again.

On the other side, Yang Xuanchen had already arrived at the inn where Park In-jae and Park In-bo were staying.

"Your Highness got up so early. Did you have a good rest yesterday?"

The bland greeting made them curl their lips involuntarily.

Park In-bo was the first to speak. He said with an unhappy look on his face, "I slept well, but it's a bit monotonous here. There's not much entertainment."

"Oh? Your Highness, why don't you tell me what kind of entertainment activities do you think are suitable for this place?"

As soon as Park In-bo mentioned entertainment activities, the sleepiness on his face disappeared. "If it were your Highness, we would have to build some gambling houses, brothels, and a few restaurants."

"In the future, there will be more and more merchants and people traveling to Yueguan Town, and naturally, demands from all aspects will follow."

"..."

Yang Xuanchen looked at Park In-bo who was talking nonstop with a smile on his face, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Although this guy appears to be out of touch, what he says is quite consistent with the reality of Yueguan Town, and he has a long-term vision.

He looked at Park In Jae again, but he looked indifferent and was still eating the remaining porridge in the bowl in small bites, as if he didn't want to leave any.

It seems that there is some difference between the maternal families of these two princes.

Ever since he met Park In-jae, Yang Xuanchen felt that he was a simple and pragmatic person, with almost no bad habits.

From his conversation and behavior, it is not difficult to see that he is a well-educated and polite person.

Moreover, judging from his food, clothing, housing and transportation, he is a very frugal person who knows how to cherish things. He does not look like a pampered prince at all.

On the other hand, Park In-bo has seemed a bit arrogant and frivolous since the first time we met yesterday.

Not only did he develop a little greed for butterflies, but his mind was also full of fancy things.

Obviously, this guy's mother's family must be extremely powerful in Northern Liao, and there is plenty of money for him to enjoy.

Thinking of this, Yang Xuanchen smiled and said, "Your Highness the Fourth Prince's words really hit the nail on the head. I will arrange for people to open some brothels in the town."

"But forget about gambling houses. If merchants go to gambling houses and lose their business capital, that would be a sin."

After hearing this, Park In Jae put down his bowl and chopsticks and nodded, "Master Xiao Yang, what you said makes sense. Yueguan Town is an important town for mutual trade between you and my country."

"It would be nice to provide some places for people to rest and relax, but forget about gambling houses that harm people."

Park In-bo, who was standing by, looked unhappy and asked, "Why isn't a gambling house a place to rest and relax?"

Faced with his elder brother's different opinions, he felt a little disdainful from the bottom of his heart.

Of course you, a poor bastard, don't like gambling houses. How much money do you have to go into a gambling house and play a few games?

If you want to blame someone, blame your mother's family. How dare you sit on the throne of the crown prince when your family has fallen into poverty? Humph!

Park In-jae didn't argue with him. After all, his father had just warned him not long ago that brothers should be united.

No matter how much he disliked Park In-bo, now was not the time to show his fangs.

After waiting for a year or two, and obtaining a large amount of money through transactions with Dayan, especially with Yang Xuanchen, humph!

This prince will let you know what it means that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

Yang Xuanchen watched the two brothers fighting each other with great interest, and kept shouting in his heart, Come on Park In Jae, fight back!

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. No matter how much Park In-bo provoked him, Park In-jae still looked calm and composed. It seems that it will be difficult to have a good time today.

The three of them pretended to chat for a while, and then Yang Xuanchen brought up another topic.

"Your Highness, I wonder if the matter we discussed before still counts?"

When that matter was mentioned, Park In Jae's eyes became sharp.

Jucaixuan is an incredible money house. Although it only provides three businesses: deposits, loans, and banknote exchange, it has played a significant role in promoting people's lives.

Rich people can save money and get some interest every year.

Those who have no money can borrow some money from Jucaixuan, as long as they repay the principal and interest on time, and the interest rate is not high.

According to the news from Yingfu, ever since Jucaixuan gained a firm foothold, the number of people engaging in usury in Dayan has decreased a lot.

Cases of people being forced to commit suicide or sell their daughters have become much less common, and people are more willing to go to Jucaixuan to borrow money.

If the interest on these loans is included in the profit, it will undoubtedly be a huge income.

Moreover, after the appearance of silver notes, they became popular throughout Da Yan at the fastest speed.

Starting from the top, people have become accustomed to using silver bills for daily settlement, and no longer have to carry heavy silver when going out.

Moreover, the silver was kept in the silver vault of Jucaixuan and was guarded by government runners and soldiers, so the risk of losing the silver was reduced.

Considering all these advantages, Park In-jae is actually eager to open Jucaixuan all over Daliao.

So, he just pretended to think for a few breaths and then answered with a smile.

"It is not difficult for Jucaixuan to develop in the Liao Dynasty, but all aspects involved still need to be carefully considered."

Yang Xuanchen raised his eyebrows when he heard that. You just want to get some benefits from this, kid? You talk as if it were true.

If you can coordinate the affairs of Jucaixuan, what does it matter if I give you a small share of the profits?

What kind of existence is Jucaixuan? I guess you will never be able to guess its real function even if you rack your brains.

"Your Highness, please feel free to speak up. As long as I can satisfy you, I will definitely agree to it."

When Park In-jae saw Yang Xuanchen's humble attitude, he naturally felt a lot more proud.

Look, as soon as I set up an obstacle, you become humble. It seems that the speed and scale at which Jucaixuan makes money is definitely not a small number.

"How about Master Xiao Yang take me around Yueguan Town and we can talk while we walk?"

Yang Xuanchen nodded and glanced at Park In-fu beside him, thinking that some things were indeed not convenient to say in front of him.

If the two princes fought over the matter of Jucaixuan, it would undoubtedly sow the seeds of crisis for the subsequent arrangements in Beiliao.

Just when he was about to find an excuse to leave Park In-bo, unexpectedly Park In-bo stood up with a look of disdain.

"Brother, you are in a good mood, but I am anxious to return to Huajing City."

"Yueguan Town is boring now. If a brothel or gambling house opens in the future, Master Xiao Yang, remember to write a letter and we will meet again then."

After hearing what he said, Yang Xuanchen couldn't help but have a new opinion of him.

This kid looks so indifferent, he can't be pretending, you must know what Jucaixuan does.

Don't you have any thoughts at all?

But since he said so, Yang Xuanchen naturally would not refuse his face. He just bowed and said, "How about I escort the Fourth Prince out of the town first?"

"No need, I will leave right away, you can talk to my brother."

Park In-jae did not express his opinion or say anything about this, he just nodded at him.

After Park In-bo left, Yang Xuanchen and Park In-jae slowly walked to a small river outside the town.

"Master Xiao Yang, do you know that my position as Crown Prince was not easy to come by?"
