When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were discussing Buddhism, Old Man Bi suddenly appeared.
Feeling caught off guard, Zhang Xiaobao sighed helplessly, "Grandpa Bi, where is the emperor going?"
"Jinyang, the emperor has spent a lot of money when he travels. Can you not let him go?" At this time, Old Man Bi began to oppose the emperor coming up again, and he didn't know where he was standing.
"Grandpa Bi, how much money can I spend? Can I go for this money? Isn't it far from Chang'an? Go and go. Does the emperor have to stay in the capital and can't go to other places for the rest of his life?"
Zhang Xiaobao is worried about it. What a big deal. Jinyang is also in Taiyuan, Shanxi. It is not far from the capital. If you say the past, it will pass. Why stop it
The leader of the other person would go out by plane and take a stroll to look at the scenery of other places, and only talk about something, which is probably the case. The main thing is to meet, and most of the time they can’t talk about it. As tough as not meeting.
Couldn't Li Longji travel around in his country? So what kind of emperor is he still alive and not aggrieved
Wang Juan also thinks like this. Li Longji is bored in the capital, so go out and play, relax and continue to do things next time, why bother to restrict him, isn't it just to spend some money? It's not too much. Taking a walk around the place not only feels better, but also the local people are equally happy and valued.
So Wang Juan also agreed: "Grandpa Bi, I also agree that we have paid out the money, and the emperor wants to go out and have a look in the future. We will also pay the money."
Old man Bi did not expect that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who were devoted to the people, suddenly began to support the emperor’s tour. They were stunned and said: “That’s not a matter of money or money, such as Yang Guang. Not to mention the money, it also makes the people's life difficult, repair the canal."
"Grandpa Bi, we seem to be using the canal too, and follow the repairs. The people's problem is not a question of money. He always eats the people's heart when he gets to one place? We just give enough money, let alone. Grandpa Bi, you only saw the bad side, but you didn't see the good side.
You say, for example, the Feng Chan ceremony, is it a disadvantage? Isn’t it just spending money, but it can form a deterrent to the surrounding countries. In many cases, many things can be exchanged for more than money. There is a saying that the soldiers who do not fight, the emperor of a country is fine. Going around can also show the ability of this country.
Grandpa Bi, that’s the thing to say. After just a stroll, the emperor went to Mount Tai to confine the meditation. The flowers disappeared all the way. We went out, just like the Queen and the Concubine Hui. Whoever said the word for the trip won’t make money, Bi Grandpa, I will tell you tonight about the relationship between consumption and production. "
Zhang Xiaobao strongly supports Li Longji to go out to play and see where he is in his country. That way, he can love his people and land even more. The money is not spent in other countries. No matter how it is spent, the end is Staying in your own country, of course, if you count as GDP, there will be an increase.
If one person said this, Old Man Bi would never be persuaded, but it was Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan who said this. There is no need to doubt the abilities of the two of them, and they have never seen them suffer a loss.
Since they all support it, it seems a bit ill-considered to say that they are against it.
After some calculations, Old Man Bi asked Zhang Xiaobao: "Is it really still making money? Will I make money back from the emperor's travels immediately?"
"No, Grandpa Bi, you can’t do that kind of thing. I really want to earn it back at once. It’s okay, but I can’t come up with such an idea, and the cuckoo won’t agree. That’s the real harm. This is our own. The country is not someone else’s."
Zhang Xiaobao vetoed this proposal of Old Man Bi. No, absolutely not. If you make a one-time return of the money you spent, it is simple and easy to do it yourself, but can you do it
Wang Juan also understood what Zhang Xiaobao meant. Turning long-term returns into short-term would inevitably aggravate the local capital flow. Sometimes the rapid capital flow is not a good thing, so he continued:
"Grandpa Bi, when investing, it is actually divided into short-term returns and long-term returns. Xiaobao and I chose the long-term. The short-term is used in other countries. For us, the accumulation of money is not the circulation of currency, but Increase in productivity.
I really want to speed up currency circulation. How good is Xiaobao's cash flow approach? Fast, fast, Xiaobao can turn one copper coin into ten coins to operate, but it is the people of Datang who are really hurt, so Xiaobao said nothing is needed, not that he doesn't. "
"So I think it's bad, or it's good, then listen to you, how can the queen and concubine Wu Hui also help you make money? Is it because you make money like this to develop productivity?"
Seeing Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan’s disagreement, he knew that he still couldn’t keep up with the two people’s thinking, but he knew that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had always done things in a way that did not harm the people of Datang. Where did it hurt? Do you still have to ask? Of course it is Tubo and Japan.
The two places are still in the middle of Zhang Xiaobao’s calculations. It is estimated that they will not get better in the end. It depends on Zhang Xiaobao’s mood. If it is better, he may let go a little. If it is not good, the two countries will wait for the bad luck. People have seen the cruelty of this method.
Hearing Old Man Bi mentioned productivity, Zhang Xiaobao thought for a while and said: "In fact, it can be regarded as a kind. The money we make through queens and concubines is not for ordinary people, but for rich people, even foreigners. Grandpa, you know."
Wang Juan also went on to say: "In fact, not much of our family’s money is saved. Up to now, it is only 300,000 Guans of reserves, and more of them are in circulation. For others, 300,000 Guans are a lot. Many, even the usual one thousand households combined in their entire lives are beyond the reach of the dust.
But for us, there is very little. The money spent has not directly affected the finances. To be honest, Grandpa Bi, the rate of return on this kind of investment is too low for us. A lot of money is spent. In terms of infrastructure.
If this were to change from another country, we would never be like this. Isn't it lack of conscience to have money and not make money? When the day is finished, we will talk to the three grandpas about the relationship in the evening and tell them what will happen to Tubo this year and what is going on in Japan. "
"Let’s go, don’t say it, since Xiaobao and Juanjuan support, let them do it, and then write to the court, saying that the money for the emperor’s travels was paid by Xiaobao and Juanjuan.” Old man Yao saw Zhang Xiaobao and Wang. Juan did not compromise on this matter, and took Old Man Bi back.
"Yes, we have paid out the money, I don't believe that 300,000 sticks of the emperor going to a nearby place is not enough." Zhang Xiaobao accepted.
As soon as the three old men left, Wang Juan sighed, "I thought we could go to a smaller place to relax, but the result was still so busy, Xiaobao, why do you think?"
"Because we are not reconciled to living in such an ordinary way. We want to make more achievements. At what height you stand, you must be responsible for this height. We have always been above Datang, to be precise. Beyond the imperial power of the Tang Dynasty, we are willing to exchange interests with Li Longji.
In the past, it was because we were not strong enough. Now it is because we like this game. In fact, we have never regarded ourselves as part of a feudal society. What we think in our minds is that the whole Chinese nation has a good impression of Datang. He is tough on neighboring countries. "
Zhang Xiaobao analyzed the thoughts of the two people to Wang Juan.
"Yes, that's it, because you and I don't see Li Longji in your eyes. They have always treated this time with a playful mentality, but in our hearts, we definitely don't treat the entire Chinese nation as an object of play. We really have to pay for the second time."
Wang Juan also agreed with Zhang Xiaobao's statement, which is the case.
"Going out, why not going out? This is actually a business of making money. Just like the plan I wrote, the Queen and Concubine Wu Hui can't just enjoy, they have to pay the price they should have. Of course, this price is not for the two of them. There will be any harm."
Zhang Xiaobao replied.
…
While Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were discussing their own ideas, in the Deyi Hospital of Huayuan County, Concubine Wu Hui was working hard for her external image and efforts.
This time she knew that she had lost to the Queen and she shouldn't have wanted this Four Seasons Square in the first place, making people feel like a concubine who didn't know good or bad.
This matter is actually simple and simple to say, difficult and difficult to say, it depends on whether others want to take advantage of it. If everyone doesn’t care, then you can get through it. If someone with a heart makes some propaganda behind the scenes, it’s estimated. Even when I returned to the capital, I couldn't get it well.
If this is the case, you can get other benefits. The problem is that you don't get it at all.
So what we need to do now is to find a way to improve the local people's attitude towards themselves, not to improve, but to strengthen the good side of themselves in the people's hearts.
So when it was almost night, I had to skating with the little children who were still playing happily there.
I heard from others that the Queen's skating ability is very powerful, she can actually go round on the ice, and she can even make two rounds when she jumps up.
This is really incomparable to me. Who makes someone different from me? Then the king and queen can go to battle to kill the enemy, and I can't compare in this aspect anyway.
The only thing I can do is to have a sincere smile, while watching the little guys playing happily there, while encouraging a few words, and I need to push a chair to run around on the ice, otherwise Somersault.
"Concubine Hui, it's already late, do you want them to leave first and find them tomorrow?" The maid next to her went outside to ask the time, and said to Concubine Wu Hui.
Concubine Wu Hui actually didn’t want to play anymore. Seeing that other people didn’t need to push the chair, but she had to push, it would be uncomfortable for anyone to change it. She was going to practice it when there was no one, and when she returned to the palace, she would also do it in the palace. In such a place, playing with the emperor would be much better than playing with children now.
This is the inside of the house. You can't see the outside situation. There are candles in the house, so you can't feel the passage of time. After hearing the people around you asked, Concubine Wu Hui asked, "It's dark?"
"Hui Niangniang, it's not dark yet, but you can't always be on this ice. What if you catch a cold?" The maid said worriedly.
"If it’s not dark, don’t talk about it. What are you afraid of catching a cold? What is this place? This is Deyi Hospital, and there is a medical school not far away. Are you happy to watch the children play? How can I let them? Suddenly unhappy?"
When Concubine Wu Hui said this, her voice was very loud, so that the children playing there could also hear it. The children were very simple and did not know the battle in the palace.
They met a total of two great figures from the palace, one was the queen, the other was the concubine. What they didn’t expect was that no matter which one they were, they were very good to them, making them full of longing for the palace. Living there is the happiest thing.
Seeing the children looking over according to her plan, Concubine Wu Hui said to them: "Don't worry, even if it's one night, I will follow you. When I learn, I will play hide-and-seek with you. There will be food in the evening."
The court lady who followed Concubine Wu Hui is not an ordinary person. When she hears Concubine Wu Hui’s words, look at what she means, and immediately know what to do. Then she said loudly, "Manny, you are not in good health. You can't catch a cold, doctor. Having said that, you will be very uncomfortable if you do."
"Needless to say, I'm not uncomfortable at all." Concubine Wu Hui is happy, her maid is just sensible. When she was talking, she threw a plop and fell to the ground, then got up with difficulty, facing the children who looked over with concern. Said:
"It's okay. I just slipped accidentally. I can't compare to you. You are all very good. Oh, it's okay. My legs don't hurt."
"Niang, Niang." Concubine Wu Hui said that her leg didn't hurt but she couldn't stand up. The maids immediately lifted her up and walked out. The maid who spoke just now yelled with concern and smiled again. The children who came down said:
"You continue to play, the lady is slightly unwell, she will be better in a while, and there will be delicious food for you in the evening. Come, let them play."
The children really don’t know what to do now. The concubine Wu Hui is sick. If he continues to play, it would be too shameful, but if he doesn’t play, the person has already said, let yourself wait for someone. What can I do if I eat dinner before leaving at night
Just when they hesitated to stay or leave, Concubine Wu Hui stood up again struggling, and said to them: "You must have dinner here before leaving. I will come by then. I never did. Have played and see who is good."
With a word from him, the children are relieved and continue to play here. Of course, they don't need to spend money, and there are people to take care of them.
They remembered Concubine Wu Hui in their hearts one by one, and naturally they had to talk to the adults in the family when they went back.
As soon as she was carried out of this indoor skating rink, Concubine Wu Hui was no longer uncomfortable, motioned to others to put her down, and said to a person next to her: "When tomorrow this time, you will spread the news. In the capital, do you understand?"
"Understand, the servant maid that the empress said is guaranteed to be done." How could the palace maid who was told by Concubine Wu Hui didn't know what Concubine Wu Hui meant, and quickly agreed.
The next day, without waiting until this time in the afternoon, the story of Concubine Wu Hui taking a sick person to accompany the local children to play was spread, and it spread quickly all the way towards the capital.
Concubine Wu Hui was happy in her heart and rewarded her subordinates well. Then she asked the most loyal palace lady who had been following him: "But have other things been arranged?"
"If you return to Niangniang, the arrangements are done, and everything is arranged. Niangniang can rest assured that those who trouble Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan will definitely not expose Niangniang, but we can't use pigeons to deliver news. It is estimated that we will have to wait. It will take a while. Here is the information sent over there a few days ago."
The maid immediately knew how to answer, and handed a letter to Concubine Wu Hui.
After reading the letter, Concubine Wu Hui said helplessly: "It seems that it is really not easy to deal with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. Who took the dream chasing away? Order it and let our people cooperate. In Li Linfu's action, no matter what he wants to do, he has to cooperate well. Even if it is a murder, he has to find a way to make it look like a suicide."
"Yes, the slave and maid will make arrangements now." The maid of the palace responded and left in a hurry.
Waiting for this matter to be arranged, Concubine Wu Hui sat there by herself and muttered: "This time I see how you two respond and want to fight against me, hum! I will let you know how good I am."
The maid next to her obviously heard Concubine Wu Hui’s voice but had to pretend that she hadn’t heard her. She didn’t know what to do there. Some of the maids believed that Concubine Wu Hui could defeat Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, while others refused to report it. If Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan dealt with any expectations so well, no one would suffer countless losses on them.
It was another morning when Concubine Wu Hui had eaten the meals prepared here, and when she was thinking about going to the bubble hot spring again, suddenly the director of the Zhang family came over and said to Concubine Wu Hui: "Manny, there is something wrong. I know if you want to go."
"What's the matter?" Concubine Wu Hui was actually not satisfied with the director of the Zhang family, because after she got here, she didn't enjoy the kind of treatment the Queen said.
The stay is good, the food is good, the play is good, and the hot springs are good, but there are a lot of things missing. First of all, how to exercise is arranged here, and again, I have never seen that kind of special preparation. Soak your own milk.
Not to mention that someone came to teach oneself what skills. This is obviously different from the situation where the Queen and Queen lived here, but looking at the regulations here, I really can't find any problems.
In other words, the treatment received by the Queen and Queen is not within the regulations, but an additional addition. I don't know how the Queen and Queen are now. I heard that Yaowang Mountain is very good.
"Niang Niang, Niang Niang." The supervisor sent by Zhang's family saw Concubine Wu Hui staying there and wandered, and shouted again.
Concubine Wu Hui only reacted this time and asked the supervisor: "What did you just say you want me to pass?"
"In fact, it's not a big deal. It's that there is a competition to be held here recently. The chef's competition will allow many chefs to make new dishes. It must be something that no one has seen before, and then let people with identities evaluate it. , Whoever has a high status is important. Once the dish really wins in the end, then the name of the dish is not the name given by the cook, but the name given by the appraiser himself.
For example, Niangniang, if you say that a certain dish is good and you really win by then, the dish will be called Huifeicai. This kind of little thing originally didn’t want to disturb Niangniang, but I found it interesting, so I came to talk to Niangniang. Say something. "
The person in charge of the Zhang family said very tactfully, but it always gives people a feeling of being neglected. What is meant by not wanting to be disturbed? If you really don't want to be disturbed, just don't come over and talk about it.
Concubine Wu Hui's first thought was that the supervisor did not want to participate by herself, so she repeatedly emphasized that it was a trivial matter, so Concubine Wu Hui asked the supervisor: "Will the queen participate?"
"The empress asked the queen to participate. For several times that have been held, the queen has participated three times, once a month."
The person in charge said to Concubine Wu Hui.
"Oh, it turns out that my elder sister also participated. In that case, how could I not go and take a look, count me, and I will be able to taste the dishes prepared by the chefs by then. Have you participated in Shuiyunjian? I really want to know. , How is the cook here compared to the imperial cook in the palace?"
Concubine Wu Hui will not hesitate this time. Since the Queen and Queen have all participated, and the name of the dish will be added to her when the time comes, then as long as the dish is really good and spread out, wouldn't her name follow
The supervisor did not show any other superfluous expressions. He still had the smile just now, and said to Concubine Wu Hui: "Since the empress has joined in, of course the cook competition can't be ignored. Even if Shuiyunjian didn't have any cooks to participate in, just rely on it. Niang Niang's words, I also have to go over and read it, then Niang Niang will have to taste it carefully."
After speaking, the supervisor hurriedly left to sign up for Concubine Wu Hui. Of course, Concubine Wu Hui was not a contestant, but she felt that she could join the judges.
Seeing the supervisor leaving, Concubine Wu Hui finally wanted to understand. It turned out that the other party wanted to use this opportunity to raise the status of the Queen. The Queen has already participated three times. It seems that if she does not hurry up, she may lose the opportunity.
Thinking of this, Concubine Wu Hui ordered to the people around her: "Go and check the situation of this cook competition, and where are the cooks from, I don't believe that there are really no people among them. , Huh! It's not for the king and queen. I guess it's arranged like this. I'm going to let them fail this time."
