Chapter 382 Arrangement of Strategies

Cloud windows and moon tents, soft jade is warm and fragrant.

Zhou Jun, lying on the bed, asked softly to the woman in her arms, "How is it better?"

Song Ruoe rested her head on Zhou Jun's chest, and her voice was faint: "For a while, I felt that my soul was about to disappear."

Zhou Jun hugged him a little tightly and said, "You always stay in the study room on weekdays, don't want to go out and walk around, and don't eat on time, so your body is weak."

Hearing this, Song Ruoe supported her body with her arms, turned over and came to Zhou Jun, and asked again: "Erlang, I have something to ask about."

In the room, Song Ruoe's eyes were bright, and Zhou Jun couldn't help but reply: "What's the matter?"

Song Ruoe hesitated for a moment and asked, "When you were in Beili, you untied the white silk, saved me, and did that to me.... Jieqin said that it was an ancient method to save people. But I searched through the ancient books later, but I couldn't find that method."

Zhou Jun was stunned and a little embarrassed: "Xie Qin told you about that?"

Song Ruoe: "Xieqin and I are like sisters. When she first arrived in Beili, she was bullied. I helped her stand up. How could she hide anything from me?"

Zhou Jun gestured with his fingers on Song Ruo'e and said, "That's indeed a way to save lives. Look, this is the heart and this is the throat. Not only does it have an esophagus, but also a trachea. When a person loses breath due to external forces, the heart will slowly stop beating..."

Song Ruoe looked at the man in front of her, distracted and didn't listen much to the words in her ears.

After Zhou Jun finished explaining, Song Ruoe whispered: "Ruoe can meet Erlang in this life, but it is a blessing for several lifetimes to cultivate... If it weren't for you, I would have been a piece of loess in the mass grave."

After saying that, Song Ruoe smiled slightly and attached her mouth to Zhou Jun's ear: "I once heard Erlang say that what you know on paper is always shallow, and you must practice it yourself..."

After saying that, Song Ruoe pulled Luo Quilt without waiting for Zhou Jun to react.

Xingqing Palace, Qinzheng Palace.

Li Longji, who rarely comes here on weekdays, sat on the imperial throne in front of the desk and moved his body uncomfortable. Looking at the memorials and literary stories presented on the stage, he asked, "Can the Ministry of Revenue determine the cost next year?"

Li Linfu bowed and said, "It has been revised, so please ask Your Majesty to judge."

Li Longji: "There are wars in Nanzhao, Anxi, and Hebei, and military pay, food and grass are all required, so there must be no delays."

Li Linfu responded.

Li Longji asked again: "Wang Hui has entered the Daji Commercial Road for a long time. How has the business done?"

Li Linfu: "I heard that there are many more shops added, the business road is becoming more and more prosperous, and caravans are constantly coming. This year's tax income should be worry-free."

Li Longji nodded and said, "At that time, Daji Commercial Road, from scratch, Zhou Erlang only took one year to earn two million yuan. Wang Hui has always been a good businessman, and he took over the complete official business. The taxes paid this year will naturally not be lower than before."

When Li Linfu heard this, hesitated and wanted to speak but stopped. Finally, he thought about it again and again and could only answer yes.

When talking about Zhou Erlang, Li Longji's mood also improved a little and asked Yang Guozhong beside him: "How is the sale in Bachuan New Garden?"

Yang Guozhong bowed and said, "Your Majesty, most of the new garden has been built, and all three hundred courtyards have been ordered. The profits have been made by more than 500,000 yuan, and all of them have been entered into the inner palace."

Li Longji said with relief: "After the sale of Ansheng Garden, as I expected, the second garden is also popular. This is a way to make money by selling houses. If you inform me, the third and fourth gardens will also start to be built. Then the Ministry of Works will be sent to organize the Bachuan River, clear the river channel, and repair the landscape. You must maintain that...what is that?"

Yang Guozhong hurriedly said, "Support."

Li Longji slapped his thigh: "That's right, it's the supporting facilities that make the residents feel comfortable, so that more people will come to buy a house." Seeing everyone bowing, Li Longji sighed: "This Daji Commercial Road and Bachuan selling houses are all done by Zhou Erlang. If he had no choice, the Tang Dynasty would have been in war and cost-effective, the inner government would have been very likely to have bottomed out."

Li Linfu's eyes rolled and he smiled and said deliberately: "What Your Majesty said is very true. Zhou Jun is really a hero of the Tang Dynasty. As the emperor's son-in-law, he often works hard and even fewer princesses. We ministers should also encourage ourselves and follow one or two, so that the princess can have more time to accompany the princess."

After saying that, Li Linfu glanced at Yang Guozhong.

Yang Guozhong was already resentful. When Li Linfu talked about Zhou Jun and the princess, he couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Zhou Jun has even taken care of his concubine, and his life is very prosperous."

When Li Longji heard this, he said strangely: "Has Zhou Jun taken a concubine?"

Yang Guozhong said with a tough bullet: "Report to Your Majesty, it seems that it happened last month."

Li Longji: "Can the princess know?"

Yang Guozhong nodded.

Li Longji was even more curious: "Who is it?"

Yang Guozhong: "I heard that one of them was Zhou Jun's maid, Xiao Qingchan, a criminal household in the Xiao family; the other was a lay Buddhist named Xiwen from Chang'an, Song Ruoe."

Li Longji looked as usual at first. When he heard Song Ruoe's name, his eyes widened and he asked unconsciously: "But the talented woman who wrote the story of the West Chamber and the Legend of the White Snake?"

Yang Guozhong nodded.

Li Longji: "How could Zhou Jun take her as a concubine?"

Yang Guozhong shook his head and didn't know.

Li Linfu smiled and said, "When Zhou Jun was in charge of recording Kan in Beili when he was in the Ministry of Justice, he must have known Song Ruo'e at that time."

Li Longji thought about it carefully, shook his head and sighed, and then said relievedly: "A man and a beautiful woman are just a perfect match."

After saying that, Li Longji stopped mentioning this matter.

After leaving Xingqing Palace, Li Linfu got on the carriage and saw She Hongzhi sitting in the carriage, he asked, "Has he found it?"

She Hongzhi bowed and whispered: "Finished."

Li Linfu nodded slightly.

She Hongzhi suggested: "Why arrange the news that I finally got so hard to get?"

Li Linfu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty just learned about Song Ruoe today. Now that he is launching, he will be too obvious. I'll wait for a little longer."

She Hongzhi: "Master, Your Majesty is now angry, why don't you strike while the iron is hot..."

Li Linfu smiled and said, "You underestimate the saint too much. A genius from Beili. No matter how talented and beautiful you are, your Majesty can still distinguish between the more important. How could he be resentful for her? Today's incident is not to make the saint angry, but to plant a seed in his heart."

She Hongzhi: "Seed?"

Li Linfu: "Although Your Majesty is the king of a country, he is old after all, so he is naturally different from a younger generation like Zhou Jun. Song Ruoe's incident was just to arouse suspicion in His Majesty's heart, making him realize that he is no longer young, but there is a gap in his attraction to women."

"If you want to really trigger a break between the saint and Zhou Jun, Song Ruoe is not good enough, but she needs a woman with a higher status and a heavier weight."

She Hongzhi understood and answered.
