With the start of the draft, the various families in the capital are not stable. Some want their children to enter the palace, and some feel sorry for their children. Especially after the emperor's special behavior towards the Shu family, some families who were hesitant at first did not plan to enter the palace. Let my daughter and brother go in.
Su He didn't know about the outside world. He had a few people in his hands, all of whom were given by Qi Muchen. Qi Muchen would ask these people to send things to Su He every few days, but he himself never showed up.
After someone added him back, Li knew that his brother had a high probability of entering the palace this time, so he gave Su He some manpower, and let him start to get in touch with some things in the back house.
Although Su He never underestimated anyone, he felt that he was a man in his heart. During this period of time, he would hide from Li Shi whenever he could, and followed Li Shi if he couldn't.
Since ancient times, men often don't think highly of women, but they don't know that women play a role in some things. Su He saw how Li Shi took advantage of his strength when he was managing his subordinates. The people below all showed great respect to Li Shi. If it wasn't for Shu Fengwu's heroine aura, the original Shu Qingbao would not be so prone to accidents. Also since that time, the management of the Shu Mansion has become stricter.
Su He was taught all kinds of things that should be learned by Li Shi in Shu Mansion every day, and Qi Muchen in the palace was also very busy during this time. Because of the thoughts in his heart, he seldom rested recently, his eyes were bloodshot, and the prince felt distressed when he saw it.
I don't know if it's his illusion, but I always feel that the emperor's dragon prestige has become more and more serious recently. When he went to court in the morning, he silenced the noisy ministers with just one glance, and even fewer people opposed the new measures.
Outsiders saw that the power in the hands of the emperor was becoming more and more concentrated. Many people who were still around the Tai Tuo and Zheng Guogong did not dare to take the lead, and those who had originally intended to cooperate were also waiting and watching.
What Qi Muchen lacks the most now is money, not to mention his private treasury, and the state treasury has not slowed down because of the continuous actions in the past few years. Since ancient times, salt and iron have been important supplies of the imperial court. Now the Linnan Chen family is in charge of the official salt, and Zheng Guogong is in charge of the iron mines, and the Linnan Chen family is inextricably linked with the Taifu Mansion.
Even Qi Muchen himself felt that he had a brain hole in the past, and at the beginning he wanted to keep these two things in his pocket. However, after the Taifu had a long talk, what kind of official salt is just a household item, how can it disturb the king of a country, and the common people are always in trouble. How much salt is used, and there is no profit, just hand it over to the people below.
Zheng Guogong is also plausible about iron. There are very few iron utensils used by the people. Their wars with surrounding foreign nations consume a lot of iron utensils every year, so why pass by the emperor.
When the two old ministers outside spoke, Concubine Cheng and Mrs. Zheng in the palace ignored him, and Qi Muchen never interfered in the matter of salt and iron. Little did he know that it was these two important materials that amplified the ambitions of the First Prince and the Third Prince.
Since he came to his senses, Qi Muchen has started to make arrangements, and now it's almost time to collect the net. He has also found the right person for the salt transportation. There are some troubles with the ironware, and it will take some time.
But even if these two items are in his hands, Qi Muchen is still poor now, and somehow his thoughts have turned overseas. The sea ship he sent has been away for two months, and he still doesn't know what happened. I want money and food.
Throwing the memorial in his hand, Qi Muchen's expression was not very good. The 100,000 troops under General Fat Cavalry had almost exhausted the national treasury in recent years. He thought it was the bitter cold in the north and the barbarians were fierce, until he sent people there a few months ago. Only then did I realize that the entire northern army had basically become Zheng Guogong's private army.
They only knew that Zheng Guogong didn't listen to the emperor at all. If it wasn't for him to ask someone to visit him on a whim, they might not know what happened when he was pulled from the throne.
The emperor was in a bad mood, and the people below were cautious. When he found someone poking outside the hall, the prince retreated carefully, and saw a little eunuch happily saying, "Eunuch, the eldest prince said he has something to ask to see the emperor."
Wang Gonggong frowned, he thought that the emperor's dislike for the eldest prince was obvious enough during this time, but he didn't expect the other party to come over eagerly, but after all, he was still a prince, Wang Gonggong didn't dare to delay, so he went into the inner hall and whispered the emperor.
When Qi Muchen heard that the eldest prince was looking for him, he was so displeased that he didn't care about it at all, but thinking that the eldest prince's mansion seemed not very quiet recently, and what Brother Bao said, Qi Muchen still had the patience to let people in.
The eldest prince is seventeen this year, tall and tall, although he is not as strong as a general in the army, he is much stronger than other brothers, his appearance is five points similar to Qi Muchen's, he is handsome and handsome, he is a cheerful person at a glance. he
At this time, there was an excited smile on his face, and when he entered the inner hall, the smile on the eldest prince's face faded away, and he honestly saluted Qi Muchen, but he was not called directly like before.
The eldest prince felt a little uneasy, but when he thought of what Wu'er told him, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, so he just ignored the slightest thing that was wrong.
"Father, my son has some friendship with Qiantang Feng's family. Not long ago, Brother Chen said that he heard that there was a disaster in the north, and he is willing to cooperate with the court to help the victims in the north." The eldest prince said impatiently.
No one knows when the Qiantang Feng family appeared, but the Feng family's industries are spread all over Daqi, and they can be called a wealthy country. Showing his face in front of his father, the eldest prince's calculations crackled.
Qi Muchen's gaze sank. He just found out about the Chen family, and the Chen family contacted the eldest prince. The emperor's natural suspicion made him look at the eldest prince with scrutiny.
The eldest prince, who was lying innocently and didn't know it, felt very happy in his heart. He felt that he was so lucky that he had never been so lucky. First, the person he liked was a woman and he was rescued by him, and someone from the Chen family contacted him. After getting rid of his own confinement, he can also let his father see his own ability. If he stepped on the third prince, the eldest prince felt that he could wake up with a smile in his dreams.
"Which person from the Chen family contacted you?" Qi Muchen asked in a flat voice. "The boss of the Chen family is the next person in charge of the Chen family." The eldest prince replied confidently.
After he made contact with the other party, he also checked and confirmed the identity of the other party before he dared to speak.
Qi Muchen tapped his fingers on the desk, and the sound of buckling was like a human heart beating. The eldest prince recovered from his original excitement, a little at a loss, and looked at the prince beside him.
The prince only thinks of himself as a display, he doesn't dare to meddle in the affairs of the father and son of the Tian family, especially when he is used to the behavior of the emperor now, he knows in his heart that the princes below are jumping around, and the one above is clear, so ignore it or not By the time.
Without the hint from the prince, the eldest prince became more and more uneasy. Just when his heart was getting tighter and tighter due to the sound of Qi Muchen's knocking on the table, and was about to burst, he heard the emperor's voice, "Get up, I understand. You go and tell them to meet at Qingfulou in three days."
The eldest prince looked up in surprise, he didn't expect his father to go out in person, he hurriedly said, "Father, my son can do this for me..." The rest of the words were automatically silenced under Qi Muchen's gaze.
He felt that since he hadn't seen him for more than a month, his father's power had become more and more powerful, and his original arrogance was suppressed in front of his father, leaving only inexplicable panic.
Thinking of his occasional thoughts before, sweat broke out on the eldest prince's forehead, his whole body was trembling almost uncontrollably under Qi Muchen's gaze, his mind went blank, and he slowly woke up after leaving.
When they arrived in the mansion, a beautiful and indifferent girl came over and asked quickly, "How is it? What did the emperor say?" The eldest prince suppressed the fear in his heart and smiled, "Father is naturally very happy. He said that he will meet with you in three days. People from the Chen family will meet at Qingfulou. Don't worry, Wu'er."
This woman is exactly Shu Fengwu who is borrowing from the First Prince's Mansion. Her eyes flickered, and she was a little disappointed. She originally thought that the First Prince would come forward this time. With her at that time, letting the First Prince go to the north for disaster relief will not only help the people Swipe your favorability, and you can make a lot of contacts.
With a flash of inspiration in her mind, Shu Fengwu said excitedly, "You think the emperor will go there in person?" "Well, don't worry, it's just a mere Chen family. The prince is willing to ask for their money to give them face... "The eldest prince thought that Shu Fengwu was worried that the Chen family would not want it, so he hurriedly persuaded him.
Shu Fengwu didn't pay attention to what the eldest prince said at all. She had other thoughts in her mind. She originally wanted the eldest prince to show off, so she naturally had the opportunity to enter the palace to meet the emperor, but now... the more Shu Fengwu thought about it, the more she thought about it. Felt feasible.
Instead of entering the palace under the name of the daughter of a small local official, it is better to borrow from the Chen family. If you use it well, it will not only leave a deep impression on the emperor, but also make him fall in love with you.
Shu Fengwu quickly adjusted the plan in her mind, and didn't care about the eldest prince's thoughts at all. As for what she had discussed with the eldest prince before, she would just find an excuse at that time. Anyway, the eldest prince is now letting her go, not afraid of anything.
That night, Shu Qingbao also got the news that the north was drought last year, and the cost of grain harvest was not good, but there were corrupt officials again.
By the time the matter was presented to the imperial case, the common people in the north were about to turn against each other. It was also mentioned in the plot that Shu Fengwu became famous all over the world with the help of this disaster relief, and won the title of a female Bodhisattva. Several times.
If Su He guessed correctly, the Chen family was the last backhand left by the previous dynasty. It was not shown in the plot, but it helped Shu Fengwu many times at important times. Later, Shu Fengwu became the queen, and the Chen family It also became the first emperor merchant of the new dynasty.
Knowing that Qi Muchen will meet with the Chen family in three days, Shu Fengwu will definitely not let go of finding an opportunity based on the current situation. He narrowed his eyes, wanting to see if Qi Muchen would like Shu Fengwu. Knowing that in the plot, he voluntarily abdicated and wanted to be with Shu Fengwu.
Qing Fu Lou is a well-known restaurant in Beijing. The master chef inside is said to be an imperial chef who retired from the palace. The food is exquisite, and the people who come and go are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries, which has earned his reputation.
In a certain box on the third floor, Qi Muchen looked at the man and woman kneeling in front of him. The man was gentle and refined, with a three-point smile on his face, which made people feel very cordial. The woman wore a veiled hat, although she couldn't look carefully, she could vaguely see her peerless figure.
At this time, the atmosphere in the room was very quiet, and Chen Wangnan was about to be unable to hold on anymore. He knelt down for half a stick of incense, but the one above him did not make a sound, and Chen Wangnan couldn't see the other party's thoughts. It was because he was unwilling to kneel down with his enemies when the golden branches and jade leaves of the past fell to this level.
"Your Majesty, the grassroots are willing to donate half of the Chen family's property to the imperial court, just hoping to do their best." Chen Wangnan said bravely.
Qi Muchen put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at the woman behind Chen Wangnan, and said calmly, "Half of the Chen family's property?" It's not as easy to fool as the rumors say.
"How much?" Qi Muchen asked directly, not only Chen Wangnan looked up in surprise, but even the others were afraid to show surprise.
With just one glance, Chen Wangnan felt that the various plans in his heart were clearly seen by the other party, but now he couldn't help hesitating in this situation, "There should be five hundred thousand taels of silver." There was fine sweat on his forehead, and his heart was pounding. Always thought it was going to be bad this time.
Before others could express their surprise and ecstasy at this astonishing number, the woman who had been behind Chen Wangnan suddenly raised her head, and those who looked at her couldn't help being amazed by her pair of star-like eyes.
What is more attractive is the stubbornness in the woman's eyes, which forms a contradictory charm with her own weak temperament, "Your Majesty, our Chen family is sincerely serving you, why are you so aggressive."
She didn't even know what a great thing she said. Anger flashed in the woman's beautiful eyes. She seemed to be very angry, and continued, "Everyone knows that you are a wise king, but why are you so wary of my Chen family? After knowing the situation in the north, I can't sleep peacefully every day, and I am afraid that I will hurt the court's face by directly attacking..."
"Shut up." Chen Wangnan was startled and couldn't care about anything else. He turned around and wanted to cover the woman's mouth, but somehow knocked off her veiled cap. The appearance of the people are stunned.
