Chapter 827 The "Devil" Awakens (6)

Author: Dongfanghong is undefeated

"Sister-in-law, where are we going?" Si'er asked while driving the carriage.

In the carriage, Zheng Xiaorou was looking through the account books. When she heard Si'er's question, she replied: "In these years, your family in Kyoto have never traveled far, right?"

Not to mention a child with no money like Si'er, even Zheng Xiaorou herself, as the daughter of a high-ranking official's family, had never traveled far away before marrying Bai Jiaxing.

Si'er said: "Hey, it really doesn't happen. The farthest place I have been to since I was a child is the Youzhou Ferry."

Zheng Xiaorou: "Do you want to go out for a walk?"

Si'er: "Yes, why don't you want to? You can follow your boss all over the world, we are all jealous!"

Zheng Xiaorou: "Don't be envious, follow me and close all the shops in Kyoto, take out all the cash on the counter and exchange it for rice and grain, send it to Ronglai County for disaster relief, and then you all go to Xinlun Prefecture with me to have fun!

"

As soon as Si'er heard what Zheng Xiaorou said, she understood what she meant. She wanted to close the store in Kyoto and stop making money for the emperor.

Zheng Xiaorou helped Baijiaxing manage the accounts, and Qingwatai divided them into two accounts. As a relative of the accountant, Si'er naturally knew that one of them was for the emperor.

Nowadays, the affairs of the employer are making a big fuss in the city, and Sister-in-law Xiaorou is venting her anger on behalf of the employer.

This is just the surface.

Zheng Xiaorou came to Beijing this time, firstly, to transfer everyone from the Chu family away so that they would not be implicated and so that Chu Qing would have less to worry about.

The second is that she does not intend to let go of her biological father. She knows her father's virtues. Whenever there is a stepping stone, her father will step on it to death without hesitation; even if there is no stepping stone, her father can make it.

Although Chu Qing never said anything, Zheng Xiaorou could tell from the letters sent from various places that her father had done no good, and she was unwilling to let Chu Qing be hurt by her father again.

The third point is that after her husband Baijiaxing learned that Linyang County was occupied by the Wos people, he sent letters to all the Chu family boys from all over the country, asking them to unite to take back Linyang County. It was not only their boss’s territory, but also the final

The important thing is that the boss cannot be accused of liaising with foreign countries.

Zheng Xiaorou wants to transfer all the people from Kyoto there. For things like war, the more people, the better, and the more money, the better. She wants to transfer all the manpower, material and financial resources from Kyoto.

It's just that Bai Jiaxing didn't allow her to go to Beijing by herself, but Zheng Xiaorou came regardless, because she valued her husband's safety more than her own, and because time was tight.

Master Lu now leads a group of workers to work overtime to make black powder.

Master Lu personally guided and even processed these highly dangerous tasks, completely ignoring his age and frailty. Fortunately, although he was old, he was not weak in health. Since he followed Ding Chuqing, he was well nourished.

Perhaps, there is a "devil" in everyone's heart, and now, thousands of "demons" are gathering.

Zheng Xiaorou organized a large amount of clothing, food, wood and other materials, and ran all the way to Ronglai County under the banner of Blue House.

These supplies are distributed directly to the affected people without going through the government.

Then continue forward from Ronglai County to deliver to disaster-stricken areas such as Shaanhui Prefecture and Jishun Prefecture, and purchase large amounts of grain along the way as a supplement.

Disaster relief is real, and the use of this excuse to mobilize supplies to New Lunzhou is also real.

With the collective closure of all the stores of the Chu family, the people of Kyoto felt a lot of inconvenience.

It is said that the Chu family's shops are all for high-end consumption and have little to do with the lower class people.

However, every mid-month and end-of-month, there are "special promotions" or "high-end discounts", allowing low-end consumer groups to get high-quality and low-priced products.

So, after only a brief inquiry, a new round of headline news started in Kyoto: "The good people of Chu transported grain to Ronglai County so quickly!"

The people were even more excited about the news——

"Have you heard? In addition to food, there is also clothing! It's cold in spring, but with food and clothing, a lot of people will die less!"

"Oh, that's such a good person!"

"You tell me, how come such a good person is attracted by the Manzi Kingdom? Is our emperor willing to send her away?"

"Shh! Don't talk nonsense. That's a widow. How can the emperor accept a widow into the harem?"

"What's wrong with the widow? Why can't people who are useful to the people and the country be admitted into the harem? Why is the barbarian country willing to do so?"

"It would be a pity if the good man Chu was really taken away by the Manzi Kingdom!"

"It's not like I asked for this person for free, I'm asking for a jade mine in exchange for it!"

"Can you have some conscience? That jade mine was also mined by Chu Dashan, and it was originally his business!"

"Yes, have you forgotten the huge piece of jade that Chu Dashan people brought into Kyoto last year? It weighed tens of thousands of kilograms!"

"From now on, don't always call others widows! Who wants to be a widow when there is a man to rely on? She just has a bad life!"

"No! After all, you have managed to get ahead and become an official, but you will soon be squeezed out and asked to marry far away!"

"Who ran the bank?"

"You don't know this? Let's not talk about the Manzi Kingdom. They rob everything they see. Let's talk about the Zheng family..."

"I know, I know! I even saw with my own eyes that the eldest daughter of the Zheng family broke off all contact with his family!"

"Which Zheng family?"

"She is the in-laws of Chu Dashan, or a high-ranking official. Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Miss Zheng is married to a brother of Chu Dashan."

"I heard that this is Zheng Shangshu who cheats the good people of Chu for no reason. No, even his own daughter can't stand it and wants to break off the relationship with him!"

…

Seeing that the people in the city were being stirred up to be dissatisfied with the emperor, the fourth prince and King Guli had not been happy for a few days. The topic in Kyoto turned back to Chu Qing again, and this time it was no longer "the official widow", but

He became a "good man of Chu".

This is not going to work, the fourth prince thought, if this trend of public opinion has spread into the palace, is the emperor still willing to deal with Chu Qing? I am afraid he is reluctant to marry Chu Qing to Voss, right?

"Look for their officials from the Ministry of Etiquette!" the fourth prince said, "Just say that we want to see His Majesty!"

***************

Things outside the palace are not known inside the palace. If the emperor is still thinking about Chu Qing, his main consideration is: how to let Chu Qing give him more leverage.

I didn't say anything just now. Didn't Chu Qing just increase his income from the one-year jade mining period to "self-raised food and grass"?

The emperor did not realize that when the officials were surprised by Chu Qing's "arrogant words", he was not considering the feasibility, but how to obtain greater benefits from Chu Qing.

In the emperor's subconscious mind, he had already determined that Chu Qing had the ability to fight.

He just wants to get more things now, because after all, compared to the income from a year's mining of the jade mine, owning the entire jade mine seems to be more cost-effective.

It would be great if Chu Qing could fight for him and win back the entire jade mine.

"I'm asking for a battle, please ask the emperor to appoint a supervisory army!" Chu Qing said.
