"Xiaosheng remembers that Miss Xiyan lived in our village for a period of time before she came to Beijing. At that time, she was penniless and very depressed. But it seemed that a woman in white came to see her from time to time, and they had a very happy conversation.
I often play the piano and paint by the river."
Playing the piano? Painting? Did Li Jieyu and Xiyan meet at that time?
"What happened next?"
"Later, Miss Xiyan joined Jiyuefang. She was kind-hearted and lived a good life. She also did not forget to send people to help the villagers and elders. Our lives gradually became better."
Su Zhen frowned more and more. Is it really that simple?
One person helps a village. Does Xiyan really think that her money is blown by the strong wind? This is not to question Xiyan's kindness and character. It's just that the characters of Xiyan and Li Yu are too perfect, and it's impossible to fault them.
, as if someone has...tailor-made a life for them?
So fake!
While they were talking, the cookies had been baked in the oven, and the tangy aroma made people salivate.
He Lan quickly brought a pile of sweet cookies to the table. The sweet cookies were about the size of a palm, were brown in color, and were fragrant with sesame seeds. Even Su Zhen had some pantothenic acid in her stomach and felt hungry.
After Jingyao thanked her, she picked up a piece with her chopsticks and took a bite. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, sweet and delicious but not greasy.
"It's delicious! It's even better than the pastries made by the imperial chef!"
He Lan always looked like a thin scholar. After hearing Jingyao's compliments, his fair side face turned red. She smiled awkwardly but politely, "Miss Jing'er is joking. This is just a joke."
Just the simplest cookie."
Jingyao took out a cloth bag from her waist and placed it on the table with a crisp sound. She raised her head and smiled sweetly at He Lan, revealing two cute little tiger teeth.
"Mr. He, could you please make some more? I want to take them back to my sister to try. The money will be regarded as a reward for you."
He Lan shook her head, "You two are our benefactors. It's just that Xiaosheng's family is too shabby, so he can only make cookies to entertain you two. But a gentleman loves money and gets it wisely. I forgive Xiaosheng for not accepting this money."
"Master He, who said this money is for you alone? There are still people living in earthen kilns in your village. It is summer now, it is cool, but when it comes to winter, the wind will be biting. Cotton clothes and quilts are relatively cheap now.
, you use the money to buy more, take them out to dry in the sun when the weather gets cold, and then decorate and renovate the house, so that you can have a good winter."
On the way, Su Zhen saw that Jingyao's money bag was heavy, and she scanned it with perspective. It was not silver, but jewelry and gold...
Just talking about the reward from the royal princess and the monthly silver, Su Zhen had to doubt that it was all her money.
She put down her chopsticks and said, "I left in a hurry today and didn't bring much silver with me. When I get back, I will ask my father to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs and apply to the court to help build mountain roads in poor villages, so that you don't have to worry about it being difficult to enter the city when it rains heavily.
Buying and selling. In addition, the Prince of Lin'an Marquis Mansion and I have purchased several pieces of land in Mulinjie for building buildings, not for merchants and nobles, but just to provide a protective umbrella for the common people."
"Building a building?" Jingyao and He Lan asked in unison.
"Yeah, the name hasn't been decided yet, and it will be completed in about three months. Once it's built, the traffickers and lackeys can do business inside. They only need to pay a monthly rent, and they can use it for a long time.
This way you no longer have to endure the sun and rain.”
He Lan thought for a moment and roughly understood what Su Zhen meant, "But the common people shouldn't be able to afford the rent."
"Don't worry, it's not expensive. Take your time, this is a step-by-step process, don't rush. Most of the rich people in Kyoto are mean, and there are not many ways for the people at the bottom to survive. They will even find ways to squeeze them. I just want to...
.Help the people as much as possible."
"Xiaosheng has always thought that businessmen can't afford to do anything early, but I didn't expect Su Shaoqing to be so righteous."
Su Zhen shook her head and chuckled. She was not a kind person. In this era where war could break out at any time, even if she could only get one of wealth and power, she would definitely be safe.
But people's hearts are different... Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.
The world? She doesn’t want it! But if you don’t have the strength to compete with the enemy, no matter how much you say, it’s nonsense!
It is not that there is no concept of renting in Hexuan Continent, but due to the monopoly of financial rights by various forces, the survival gap for the people at the bottom has become so narrow that it is almost invisible.
He Lan was obviously moved by what Su Zhen said. She stood up and bowed to Su Zhen, "Su Shaoqing, I wonder if Xiaosheng can join? Although Xiaosheng has no money, he thinks he is quite knowledgeable!"
"Brother He, do you want to think about it? If I fail, it will be a loss-making business, and I will probably lose everything."
Su Zhen always had a vicious eye when looking at people, but she deliberately revealed the information to He Lan. In addition to valuing him as a person, she also valued his unabashed ambition.
It was not a desire for power and wealth, but a kind of righteousness that emanated from his bones. He Lanmang looked cold and upright, seemingly pedantic and ignorant of flexibility, but he refused to give in and go against himself for the sake of the people.
The bottom line. It was this tenacity that moved Su Zhen.
Money? With a gold-selling cave as big as Jiyuefang in her hands, she certainly doesn’t lack it!
Fame? If she really cared about her reputation, how could those unfavorable rumors about her spread everywhere?
Sex? Haha... Rumor has it that she is a libertine who is greedy for beauty and likes to hang out in red mansions and mansions.
As for Quan? She is the eldest son of the Taifu Mansion, the life and death friend of the Prince of Lin'an Marquis Mansion, and a popular person in front of the emperor. Even the current prince and General Jinghong, who has mixed reputations, are her backers.
Speaking more broadly, she had spies placed in every minister's house in the DPRK. As for whether those undercover agents were humans or monsters...it depends on whether the ministers could keep their eyes open and successfully identify them.
To put it mildly, let alone those beggars, they have been twisted into a rope with the efforts of Lao Zhutou. Even every plant and tree in the city of Kyoto, any spiritual thing, if Su Zhen wants, can be used as a rope.
Her eyes and ears.
Since you don’t lack anything, what’s wrong with being more willful?
Jingyao saw the corners of Su Zhen's lips raised uncontrollably. Although she didn't know what Su Zhen was thinking, she looked like she wanted to be beaten. She really wanted to beat this person up!
Su Zhen put down her chopsticks and helped He Lan up, "Brother He, there is no need to be polite. If you are willing, you can help me with my advice. The prince has now disappeared without a trace, leaving this stall almost to me alone."
.”
He Lan didn't expect that Su Zhen would appreciate him so much. He immediately leaned over and cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Su Shaoqing, Xiaosheng will definitely work with Shaoqing to benefit the people!"
