Chapter 138
With a low voice, Ao Hong quickly grasped the point again: "It's unreasonable, has he paid the tax?!" This is really a torture from the boss, he must not miss a single gold coin.
Ling Xi hurriedly stroked the back of His Royal Highness Dragon King who was humming to comfort him, and hurriedly said: "It must be paid, Cheng Ming will not evade taxes."
The leader of Lobster said in a circle: "Well, my subordinates don't know about the South China Sea."
"His Royal Highness, please wait here for a while, and the subordinates will go down to ask Lord Long to come back. The two of them have been introduced into the main hall during the conversation, and the leader of the lobster decided to take a walk with the ball.
The leader of the lobster waved his claws, the hem of his embroidered clothes was shiny, and the delicate and slender clam girl came in from the outside with a tray to serve tea.
The lobster leaders were all gone, Ao Hong lowered his head and frowned and knocked on the tablet he had pulled out from the Sumeru Ring at some point, his hands crackled like the wind, almost leaving an afterimage.
"You..." Just as Ling Xi said a word, Ao Hong raised his slender index finger with one hand, and motioned him to keep silent without raising his head.
Lingxi shook his head helplessly, but he was not annoyed. He picked up the teacup, gently scraped off the foam on the surface of the clear tea with the tea cover, took a sip and praised: "This tea is not bad. I have heard that Xihai is close to several big teas. Zhuang, the quality of tea is well-known all over the world, and it really lives up to its reputation.” The taste is fresh and light, and the lingering fragrance on the teeth and cheeks is quite a bit of sesame orchid.
Ao Hong kept sliding his fingers upwards to search for various documents, Ling Xi said speechlessly: "You are not checking whether there is any tax evasion in Chengming, are you?"
"You, if you are not in charge of the family, you don't know how expensive firewood is." Ao Hong sighed, raised his head and glanced at him briskly, flashing a trace of worry.
In a daze, Ling Xi felt that he had committed a great crime. His lover worked so hard to support his family. Not only could he not appreciate his lover's hard work, but he was also hindering him.
"Okay, you can continue to check, have you found it?" Ling Xi asked with a smile in a slow tone.
"There was an application from him." Ao Hong unfolded the document, bowed his head and read it carefully, his eyebrows gradually opened: "The scale of the elephant snake farm has expanded, and there are more than 5000 snakes. The customer group selection is done well."
"I bought everything from Yazi to mock wind, oh my cousin also bought it." Ao Hong unfolded the list of imports and exports, his spirits were high, and his abacus was fiddled with so fast that even Ling Xi, who was sitting beside him, could hear the abacus coming from his heart. Voice: "The profit is very high! 150%, why not send some people to Zhaohai Mountains to help him expand the scale of breeding, complete the assembly line operation, and complete the vaccine inspection."
Ao Hong muttered, concentrating on immersing himself in the world of money.
The lover is really reliable!Ling Xi sighed sincerely from the bottom of his heart, resting his chin with one hand, smiling and tenderly watching His Highness the Dragon King beside him who was busy thinking about how to increase his income.
He used to have a limited salary at work. Except for paying off his father's debts, the rest was used to maintain basic necessities of life. He didn't know much about managing money and making money, but it was obvious that their Lord Dragon King was very good at it.
They are really a perfect complementary couple, Ling Xi smiles from the bottom of her heart, her lips are full of love.
I didn't wait long in the main hall, but I heard the news from the servants outside the hall: "The Dragon Lord of Xihai is here!"
Just as Ao Hong Lingxi raised half of his body in a polite manner, people outside the hall had already stepped into the hall, and said kindly, "The Dragon Lord of the South China Sea and the princess come here, and they are full of splendor."
"Long time no see, don't come here without any problems." Ao Hong replied politely.
"It's all right, please." Xihai Longjun smiled with his beard twisted. He had a gray beard, and his face was criss-crossed like a number of withered orange peels. He was hunched over and leaning on a cane. The octagonal hollow palace lantern, the beauty holding him intimately in one hand is radiant.
Jiaojiao black silk, jade belt orchid, black eyebrows without sweeping, red lips, clear eyes, slightly flowing and moving, really like coral Qiongzhi under the morning sun, as bright as the moon.
The noble and powerful beauty, a simple glance from the corner of the eye, can already remind people of him lying on the side of the bed under the curtain, with a rhinoceros in his beard, and a white index finger with a spring onion halfway between his bright red lips. The look of raising the corners of his lips.
Nothing profane, just the first scene that comes to mind.
Standing with him is a person from two different worlds. Seeing this configuration, Ling Xi couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed Ao Hong to return the salute. He has already met the other three dragon kings except the West Sea Dragon King, and the dragon's aesthetics is still very good. Yes, the image is pinched with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and the figure is tall and straight.
Xihai Longjun... Is he much older than them?Lingxi thought wildly in her heart.
"Thank you for the emergency, and return it to its original owner." Ao Hong thanked concisely, slightly turned the surface of the Sumeru ring hidden under his big palm, and with a wave of the palm, the real body of the Liaohe Danding appeared, weighing more than a thousand catties, "Boom! "Sturdy landed with a loud noise, stirring up fine dust.
"You're welcome..." Xihai Longjun said a single word, just before he finished speaking, the tablet prompt sounded behind him.
Ao Si stopped talking, frowned and pulled out the tablet from his pocket.
"What's the matter?" The beautiful woman next to her asked in a low voice, like broken jade throwing pearls, as if she was afraid of shocking anyone, her plump and white dew was about to drip.
"It's going to snow in the West Sea temporarily, so please entertain me, Long Chen." Ao Si explained to the princess in a gentle tone, and then apologized to Ao Hong: "I have something important to do, Wan Wang Haihan, Lord Long might as well stay with me For a few days in Xihai, let this king show some kindness as a landlord."
"It's also snowing in the South China Sea, I have to hurry back, I can't stop." Ao Hong waved his hand and said, "See you at the Ninth Heaven."
"Alright." They are all in the same robe, and the nature of their work is also the same. Ao Hong, who has always been critical of others and tolerant of his own people, understands it very well. After a few words of pleasantries, Xihai Longjun turned and left.
Ling Xi looked up, but saw that Xihai Longjun's back figure was gradually standing upright, with one hand behind his back, striding like a shooting star, and his heroic appearance was flourishing.
... What kind of strange play is this, why do you have to use an old man's body when you can use the appearance of a [-]-year-old, Ling Xi has ten thousand complaints from the bottom of his heart.
Long Chen saw the dense barrage of bullets flying past Ling Xi's eyes, a clear smile appeared in his eyes, and he said a little more: "My husband likes to tease people, and he can do whatever he wants with his age and appearance on weekdays, so that the Queen of the South China Sea can laugh at her." Yes, please sit down."
"Very...childlike." Ling Xi struggled to find an adjective, but Ao Hong was thoughtful. Although Xihai Longjun had such a hobby before, his inheritance memory has not been opened, and he doesn't think there is any abnormality. Where... Ao Hong was thinking, a pair of dragon pupils sparked hot sparks, really good at playing!
"Ah!" The maid served some snacks and fruits, and the three of them were talking in the main hall when Ling Xi suddenly sneezed loudly.
"Is the princess okay?" Long Chen stopped talking, and said with concern: "Is it cold? The temperature in the West Sea is slightly lower than that in the South Sea all the year round."
The maid behind Long Chen quietly fetched the sable cloak, and handed it to the maid serving behind Ling Xi to put it on for him.
"Thank you." Ling Xi thanked her by rubbing the tip of her nose, secretly thinking that she would not be afraid of the cold after eating a plate of snake gall.
Long Chen looks delicate, but speaks in a steady and orderly manner, not in a hurry or impatient. After talking about the recent situation, he turned around and raised a teacup and said to Ao Hong: "The territory of the South China Sea is vast, and the management of the vast land and resources is usually very cumbersome."
"What the princess wants to say, you might as well say it bluntly." Ao Hong was full of inspiration from Lord Xihai Long, so he was more straightforward here.
"I don't know if you know that there is a mountain god in the South Sea who has been offering fresh elephant snakes to us in the West Sea?"
"Is there a problem with the quality?" Ao Hong regained his focus, and asked in a gentle tone. The price is so expensive, of course, the after-sales service must be done well, so that there will be repeat customers. He understands the reason, and the key is that he can collect 15% of the tax.
"No, the quality is very good." Yuanchen said with a smile, "Because the items are good, my husband likes them very much, and the monthly purchase volume is quite large, so I wondered if I could discuss with you about a wholesale price?"
Ling Xi concentrated on tasting tea, almost laughed out loud, swallowed the tea in his mouth, this is really a smart man meeting a smart man!Ao Hong is so picky, can he make a profit?
It is even more unexpected that Princess Xihai looks weak, but she is the head of the accountant of Xihai Dragon Palace.
"Why not..." But hearing Ao Hong's willingness to agree, Ling Xi looked back in surprise, thinking that their Lord Dragon King was possessed, and Ao Hong had always had a personality that could bleed and bleed, and could not lose a penny.
"But the pearl clams of the West Sea, I have also admired the South China Sea for a long time, it would be even better if we can open up a trade route to communicate with each other." Ao Hong dragged his voice: "The South China Sea Customs, this king will adjust it.
The climate in the South China Sea is hot and warm all the year round. Pearl clam grows extremely fast, so the quality has not always been good. The water quality in the West Sea is good, and the four seasons are distinct. The pearl clam in the West Sea is hard, round in shape and fine in texture. Good place of origin.
If this business route can be established, the South China Sea handicraft jewelry industry and trade industry can get a share of it. According to the mathematical model of economic growth, when the South China Sea is transported outwards, processing can maximize profits more than raw materials.
Long Chen lowered his eyes, quickly passed the pros and cons of Xihai, and found that Xihai can also benefit a lot from it and increase a lot of employment opportunities. He raised his head and said with a smile: "We will also reduce some customs duties appropriately to provide help for business routes. .”
"It's a deal. The Minister of the South China Sea will communicate with Xihai about the details." Ao Hong shared Bei Fei's Hisense business card with Long Chen.
...It was his mistake. A smart person sits with a smart person, and after realizing that they can't extract benefits from each other, what they think is how to unite and get money from the outside, Ling Xi admires.
After dinner, the Dragon King of the West Sea tried to persuade him to stay, but Ao Hong insisted on taking Lingxi back to the South China Sea.
"Alright, business first." The Dragon King of the West Sea frowned and said, "Recently, for some reason, there has been heavy snowfall in the North Sea and East China Sea... even your always warm and humid South China Sea has snowfall."
"Did Beihai and Donghai also receive the news?" Ao Hong heard it for the first time, raised his brows and said hesitantly: "This is rare." Everyone in the world received the news that snow fell in the area under their jurisdiction. The harm of Jiuchongtian should not be ignored.
The Dragon King of the West Sea nodded, and discussed with Ao Hong: "Let's keep an eye on the shore, let's tell each other if there is anything."
"Okay." Ao Hong nodded and hugged Lingxi with one arm and left from the undersea passage. The decoration of the West Sea Dragon Palace is simple, but the queen's bedroom is beautiful and easy to identify.
When leaving from Xihai, Lingxi lowered his head subconsciously and took a panoramic view of most of the Dragon Palace. It was as if he saw a light blue mermaid tail with rounded scales in the sea anemone flowers in the courtyard of Beiquezhu Palace where the princess lived. It is full of smooth beauty, and the water waves are soft and rippling as it swings forward, and the edge of each scale seems to reflect a graceful and full magnificent color, which is dazzling.
