Sometimes "chicken thieves" also depend on luck, and Li Jin is obviously unlucky.

Huang Zhaoxian also thought he was unlucky, so the first thing he did after returning home was to find Huang Zhaoyan: "Third brother, please tell me carefully, what kind of person is Mr. Yong'an?"

In the Huang family, except for old Huang Zhong, no one had a good impression of Chu Qing. Even though no one except Huang Zhong and Huang Laosan had ever dealt with Chu Qing.

Huang Laosan has changed his mind a lot about Chu Qing, especially because of the box of banknotes, but others have not. They still have the same idea as Huang Laosan did at the beginning.

Huang Laosan changed his mind a lot because of the box of money notes, Chu Qing's care for Huang Zhong, and later the old man's words about "near and distant relatives", so when he introduced Chu Qing to his elder brother, his first sentence was

It’s: “Don’t treat her like a woman.”

Huang Zhaoxian obviously did not expect to hear such words, and was very confused: "Even if she is an official, she is still a woman?"

Huang Zhaoyan said: "She is different from ordinary women, and she is different from men. She thinks about things differently from others!"

What this means is that Chu Qing is not only not a woman, she is not even a human being.

Huang Zhaoyan continued: "She values ​​money, but she doesn't value money either. Anyway, I can't tell. Sometimes I think she is stupid, but most of the time she can't afford to offend her."

Huang Zhaoxian: "Are you just stupid and hard to mess with?"

Huang Zhaoyan:……

Huang Zhaoyan couldn't tell about the money box because the old man said that if he dared to tell anyone in his family, he wouldn't be able to get a penny.

But Huang Zhaoyan felt that the money was the best explanation of what kind of person Chu Qing was, and this would be very difficult for him.

"Let's put it this way, even if you look at her wrongly, she can feel it. She won't do anything to you, but you can't get any benefit from her."

Thinking of what Chu Qing said when he put the money box back into the old man's hand: "We have the ability and confidence to honor you every year, at least, there will be no problem for three to fifty years!" Huang Laosan said to Huang Laosan: "You too

Don't expect to use the old man's face to blackmail her, she is not blackmailed in any way."

Chu Qing's words indicated that he only wanted to get along with Huang Zhong and not have anything to do with Huang Zhong's sons. For such a person, if Mr. Huang still holds the idea of ​​​​"repaying a favor", I am afraid that this trip will be a disaster.

Nothing was found.

"Our father said that they have been friends for many years and help each other. No one is benevolent to anyone. If there is any, it is because Duke Yong'an owes a favor to our father." Huang Laosan said.

Huang Zhaoxian: "The grace of teaching?"

Huang Zhaoyan: "Yes, it was Duke Yong'an who taught my father his skills. Whether you believe it or not, I believe it."

Huang Laosan spoke of Mr. Yong'an. Far from the disdain he used to call "that Chu Qing" in private, he was very respectful. Huang Zhaoxian felt even more uneasy.

Will you be able to complete the mission this time?

I used to look down on and resent a person I have never met, but according to Lao San's advice, I don't even talk about friendship with anyone other than the old man. That's a very difficult person to deal with!

While Huang Zhaoxian was still on the road, the emperor received Chu Qing's letter first, and it didn't matter whether he opened it or not.

To be honest, the emperor wished he could grasp Chu Qing's real-time movements, but his intuition told him that it would not be a good thing if Chu Qing suddenly received a letter after not writing for a long time.

Skip the meaningless opening greeting and read the letter: "I have been busy with many things recently and have not been able to communicate closely with the emperor. I hope the emperor will not blame me."

The emperor sneered: "As if you had many correspondences with me before!"

Thinking of the past, the emperor was not in a good mood. Chu Qing in the past was not as prickly as he is now.

Looking down: "I don't have anything new to report, but since the emperor is always thinking about me, I will report what I have been busy with recently."

Although the word "moment" seemed to mock the emperor for not trusting Chu Qing, the emperor really wanted to know what she was doing, so he continued reading.

"I have recently met with many businessmen. They come from various prefectures, mainly booksellers from Songjiang, Chongyu, Yibin, and Fuzhou Prefectures, and some are grain merchants;

The booksellers wanted to cooperate with me on engraving books, and hoped to obtain my color printing technology, on the condition that they could help me distribute the books to Kyoto;

I can't help but feel dumbfounded. Is it possible that I, a "displaced prince", have no ability to publish books and albums in Kyoto?

The cooperation they wanted was nothing more than to buy out Chen's engraving technology. Chen told them that cooperation was possible, but not in this way. If they wanted technology, they needed to 'join';

The grain merchants discussed with me the sale of hybrid flour, hoping that I could sell it to them at a very low price. The reason was that spring was the time when the harvest was in season, so the people were sowing but not harvesting in season, and the people were starved of food.

The minister couldn't help but sneer. If they really sympathized with the suffering of the people, they would sell the food in their hands at a reduced price. Why do they need to defeat the minister's idea of ​​hybrid powder?

The minister scolded me directly: 'Don't think that I don't know your thoughts and want to use my things to make money for you, just go ahead and dream!'"

The emperor frowned. He felt that Chu Qing's words seemed to have something to say - was he trying to beat me up? Don't expect her to help stabilize food prices?

Looking further down: "I collected materials from all over the country and went through great troubles to make today's mixed powder, which is just a kind of "substitute food";

Although the taste is not good, it will not cause bloating or constipation, and it can barely sustain the nutrients needed for life;

Their gang of black-hearted businessmen secretly imitated Chen's hybrid powder and mixed it with clay, so that many hungry people died of distension, but they still used the name of the Chu family's hybrid powder;

What's even more disgusting is that they actually sell this thing that can kill people for five cents a pound!

If they hadn't been exposed as not being fans of the Chu family, they wouldn't have come to me to 'ask for cooperation'. I really want to hang them on the city gate to dry!"

The emperor's brows turned into knots.

Chu Qing not only stated that he would not care about food prices, but also encouraged the emperor to take cruel measures - hanging his head on the city gate to dry, which meant showing his head to the public, which was a capital punishment!

I have already seen the last piece of letter paper. Although the emperor is not in a good mood, he still insists on reading because Chu Qing has not written what "join" means.

The last page reads: “Although I really want to see these black-hearted businessmen being hung on the city gate tower and dried in the sun, I can’t think of anything else;

They are not from Yong'an Prefecture. Even if they were, the prefect would have to punish them. I cannot cross the line unless the prefect does anything. After all, everyone performs his or her duties, and whose job is his/her own;

Forget it, I wanted to have a casual chat with you, but it turned out to be a complaint. I hope it didn’t disturb the emperor’s mood. Please forgive me!”

Looking further down, I wish the emperor good food, good rest, good health, and no worries.
