The prince couldn't help but look up at his wife, still puzzled, "Can't she go to Mingda and Changyu's place? Why do they do it in my East Palace?"
The Crown Princess smiled and said, "Because Bai Shan and others were invited, right?"
The prince frowned immediately when he heard that, "Chang Yu is about to get engaged, Ming Da is not young, what is she going to do?"
The crown princess said: "They are all sons of aristocratic families. They are keeping their etiquette. What can she do?"
Seeing that the prince was still frowning, she smiled and said: "When the time comes, someone will clean up the pavilion in the small garden for them to use. If your Highness is worried, you can go and have a look."
The prince no longer objected, he glanced at the menu in the hands of the princess, and heard that Zhou Man borrowed it from her, so he twitched the corner of his mouth and said inwardly, "What are you talking about to discuss unresolved things, I'm afraid it's for food."
Two days later, Man Bao happened to have no classes in the Imperial Medical Office, so she went to give the Empress Dowager an injection early in the morning, and then went back to the Chongwen Hall to prepare lessons and repair books. Take it, and ran to find them in a hurry.
For fun and safety, Man Bao also invited Liu Huan and Yin Or.
With Liu Huan around, they can express some views on taxation to Liu Shangshu through his mouth; with Yin or around, as long as they don't cause serious trouble in the palace, Lord Yin will protect them.
Man Bao didn't hide her small thoughts, Liu Huan said: "Is there still time for me to leave now?"
Man Bao said: "Roast venison, and the Xiaoling Sunburn that I haven't eaten before."
She hadn't eaten it, and neither had Bai Shan and Bai Erlang. In fact, like Zhou Man, they hadn't heard of it before.
Yin may have heard of it, but he has never eaten it.
He seldom eats grilled food, and most of the time he came here to sit and talk, and most of the delicious food was not for him.
But Man Bao and Bai Shan sympathized with him, and felt that a life that cannot eat delicious food is an incomplete life, so they cut a small piece from Xiao Ling Zhi and gave him a small piece of roasted venison, and then He has to eat his own soup and water.
Chang Yu couldn't help but look at him several times, and then whispered to Man Bao, "It's so pitiful."
Man Bao had already stared at the Xiao Lingzhi that was assigned to his plate, and asked, "Can I start eating?"
Mingda: ...
Changyu nodded repeatedly, "It's okay, it's okay, the venison is all roasted, I didn't eat much last time, so I must have a good meal this time."
Everyone eats up.
Mingda couldn't help but ate several yuan, and then saw that everyone was eating and drinking, so he asked Man Bao, "Didn't you say that you invited everyone to discuss unsolved problems?"
Man Bao said while eating: "Yes, but we have to eat before we talk. You see, it's still early. We can talk here before the gate of the palace is locked. Don't worry, I will be with the Crown Princess." It's done."
Yin may have a small appetite, and he has already eaten at this time, so he put down his chopsticks and asked directly, "What is the unsolved problem?"
Man Bao turned his head and thought for a while, stopped Princess Changyu who was about to speak, and said: "Princess Changyu wants to participate in some business."
Yin Or was startled for a moment and then asked: "Are you planning to ask everyone to contribute money together?"
Liu Huan thought about his own money bag, then turned to ask Bai Erlang, who was working hard, "If I borrow money from you to do business..."
"It's impossible," Bai Erlang directly refused, "If you even borrow the capital to do business, then what kind of business is there?"
Liu Huan said: "I don't believe that you didn't borrow money when you first bought the property. Did you save it in advance?"
Bai Shandao: "We didn't borrow any money, the family directly gave the money to do it. And we also have money in our own savings."
Bai Erlang added: "Not young or old."
Man Bao raised his hand and said, "I was the poorest then, but now I am the richest."
After all, she is a working person.
Liu Huan stared at them, "How did you save the money?"
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang took it for granted, "It's monthly money."
Bai Erlang said: "Although our monthly money is less than yours, we still have some money."
"You guys can really save, even the monthly money can be saved."
Bai Shan laughed and said, "If you were in our village, you would definitely be able to save it. If we want to spend money, we have to go to Daji. From the street to the end of the street, the money spent will definitely not exceed 20 Wen."
At the side, Yin You said lightly: "Or you are as weak as me and have no other flowers to use, so you can naturally save them."
Seeing that they were going off topic, Changyu couldn't help knocking on the table, "Can you get back to the topic?"
Man Bao: "Oh, yes, Changyu wants to do business, do you think she can do it?"
Bai Shan then asked what kind of business he was doing, what was the estimated cost, and if he needed any help from them
Others were all ears.
Mingda looked at Manbao.
Man Bao said: "I didn't tell them in advance, so you see, they don't think there is a problem with Changyu's business."
After finishing speaking, she looked at Bai Shan and the others and said, "The royal relatives and court officials are not allowed to do business."
Several people:…
Yin or asked hesitantly, "Princess Changyu still plans to take care of it herself, and leave these matters to the servants."
Changyu immediately regained his composure, looked at Mingda and then at Manbao, "Look, they don't think there is a problem."
Man Bao nodded and said, "That's the problem."
Bai Shan also came to his senses, and said with a smile: "I see, you want to discuss how to prevent powerful people from taking advantage of their power to bully others and compete with the people for profit?"
Mingda asked: "Why not prevent, but prevent?"
Bai Erlang said: "How is it possible to stop it? Isn't that poking a hornet's nest? Not to mention us, even His Majesty can't do it."
Yin or and Bai Shanmanbao nodded together, this is also the reason why Manbao formed a game, it is impossible to stop it, but we can discuss how to prevent it better.
Yin or asked, "Why are you planning to discuss it?"
Man Bao asked: "If we can discuss it, let Liu Huan and Liu Shangshu pass it on. If we can't discuss it, we can write a note to His Majesty and ask him to give us an answer. Actually, I'm also quite curious. In the future, my family's medicine business and ointment business will become super big, will the imperial court deal with me, and how to deal with it... "
Everyone: ...
Even Bai Shan didn't expect her to have such thoughts, so he was speechless for a while.
Man Bao met his gaze and said, "This is called taking precautions, isn't it normal?"
Liu Huan was still confused, and quickly stopped, "Wait a minute, what does this matter have to do with us? Since you know it's a hornet's nest, why do you want to poke it?"
He is not stupid, although they talked a little bit around and it took him a lot of effort to understand, but as the grandson of the Minister of the Household Department, he still knows that it is a very sensitive matter for the rich and powerful to be involved in business affairs.
He turned his head and said to Zhou Man: "As far as your small business is concerned, can the ointment sell a hundred cans a month?"
Man Bao: "... No, it seems like there are more than twenty cans now?"
"So why are you worried about such a small workshop?" Liu Huan, who had been fascinated by it since childhood, said, "So what are you worried about? Don't say that the ointment is not sold by you, it is fine if you sell it. You are an imperial physician, a doctor, Run To put it bluntly, ointment is also an ointment, what's wrong with prescribing ointment to patients?"
Man Bao immediately said to Ming Da Changyu: "Have you heard that? These are all loopholes. There are still many loopholes like this. If we want to avoid competing with the people, there are many loopholes that need to be filled."
Everyone: ... This is so ruthless that it even blocks your own way.
