Li Huang invited her to take a seat, and Ah Yuan served tea and snacks. After Mrs. Yu thanked her, she also reported on the recent business of the teahouse.
"Your Highness, the business of teahouses and restaurants is very good right now, and I would like to take advantage of the opportunity to open a few more stores."
"Isn't there a big exam coming up now? I'm thinking of building a library. Those poor students who can't afford to study can copy and read in the library, but the library will routinely charge them for tea."
"Although this income is not much, it can win people's hearts."
Don't underestimate those students, they are no less powerful than a general mounting a sword and mounting a horse.
Moreover, scholars have a clear mind and are not easily manipulated by others. If rumors arise again one day, with these people around, the common people will not be led by the nose.
Madam Jade is thinking very far.
Li Huang couldn't help but take another look at her.
At this moment, she was extremely lucky to have taken her into her own hands.
"Madam must have already made specific regulations."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yu immediately took out another piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it over with both hands: "I just have a preliminary idea, and the details need to be refined by Your Highness."
Li Huang took the paper and read it carefully.
The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became.
"Yes, this idea is very feasible."
"But the specifics can be more flexible. For example, if someone wants to borrow it and read it before returning it, some borrowing fees can be charged on a daily basis."
"Also, like your teahouse, you may also organize a counter-profit activity for them, such as borrowing ten books and getting one for free."
"Or, for long-term regular customers, you can provide them with a free snack from your teahouse or something like that."
"The decoration will be better then, and more tables and chairs will be arranged. If there are people who are not short of money and want to read and eat something inside, we can also provide it."
In this way, the library does not have to worry about not making money.
After Mrs. Yu wrote down Li Huang's requests one by one, she left with the charter of the initial card.
She is a person of action, and once the idea matures, she can't wait to implement it.
Ling Yuan saved a cup of tea for Li Huang and said, "Your Highness, if we do this, will we make those who open bookstores in the capital feel resentful?"
There are cheap books to read here, so who would go to their store to buy books?
Li Huang shook his head: "You don't understand this. For those who like to buy books and are not short of money, if there is a book they like, they will still be willing to buy it back and keep it. It does not conflict with us."
The most she can do is help poor students alleviate their financial constraints.
As for those works left behind by everyone, if they had money, they would still be willing to buy them.
At this time, someone hurriedly came to the door and announced: "Your Highness, people from General Zhenguo's Mansion are here."
Li Huang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Could it be Ye Jiuning again?"
She felt that although she had helped her a little bit in sewing medicine packets for border soldiers before.
But she didn't think that the rift between the two of them was completely gone.
This woman doesn’t think that she, the real princess Li Huang, can support a boat, does she?
The porter shook his head: "Your Highness, it is not Miss Ye Er who is here, but the deputy general next to General Zhenguo."
Li Huang was stunned for a moment. General Zhenguo sent his cronies here. He must have something important to say.
"Please come in quickly."
The concierge responded and backed out.
Not long after, the deputy general came in.
As soon as he came in, he lifted his robe, knelt down, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, help me."
Li Huang was startled and hurriedly raised his hand to help him: "Vice General Guo will speak slowly if he has something to say. I will do my best to help you just for Yun Ge's sake."
Guo Sheng stood up and said urgently: "Your Highness, someone stole the border topographic map of the mansion."
Li Huang's expression changed: "What did you say? But the topographic map of Yunge's current garrison?"
Vice General Guo nodded: "Exactly, the general has sent people on flying horses to the border to inform the eldest lady, but this matter is of great importance. The general has personally sent a letter to the palace to plead guilty. We have been ordered to search the whole house and find out the secret culprit.
I am acquainted with the former entourage of His Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Huang: "..."
That's why they came to her in a hurry instead of rushing to the East Palace to find Li Yuze?
No matter what, if something like this happened, it would really cause trouble.
"You go back to the house first, I will enter the palace immediately."
Vice General Guo's face was full of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess."
Li Huang led Ling Yuan into the palace in a hurry, and happened to meet Zhenguo General Ye Yuan kneeling outside the palace.
She was stunned for a moment: "Why is the general kneeling here?"
Ye Yuan's face was full of guilt: "Back to Princess, Your Majesty is taking a nap. I don't dare to disturb you, so I just kneel here and wait."
Li Huang was speechless. This man was too sincere. Even if everyone was asleep, your kneeling would be in vain.
"General, it's better to get up first. If you have anything to say, we can wait until we get in."
Otherwise, before the emperor even started punishing him, his body covered with old wounds would have collapsed first.
Just at this time, the chamberlain inside came out and said: "Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, General Ye, your majesty is awake."
Li Huang signaled Ling Yuan to help him up, and then took the lead into the bedroom.
The palace servants had already served the emperor to get dressed, and were still a little surprised to see the two of them coming in together.
"The palace servant reported back that you two were outside. I still don't believe it. Is there something big going on?"
Now that Ye Yuan's military power has been handed over to his daughter, he is now just an idler recuperating from his injuries in the capital. He rarely goes out to socialize on weekdays, and rarely comes to the palace when he has nothing to do.
Now he not only entered the palace, but he also entered the palace one after the other with his precious daughter.
It seems that something big happened to the Ye family.
"Is it possible that the apple of your eye made some mistakes at the border?"
The emperor thought that only if the Ye family suffered a defeat could he see Ye Yuan's expression like this.
He originally asked casually, but he never thought that Ye Yuan's face would become even more ugly when he asked.
"Your Majesty, I'm guilty!" He knelt down with a snap, "It's not that my daughter made a mistake, it's because the guards in the mansion were not strict and made a mistake."
The old emperor became more and more confused as he listened. He couldn't help but look at Li Huang: "What's going on? Can one of you explain it to me more clearly?"
Li Huang then briefly reported the whole story to the emperor.
"Father, these people have bribed the cronies around His Highness the Crown Prince before, intending to frame him for rebellion, and now they have gone to General Zhenguo's Mansion to steal terrain maps. It seems they are really ambitious."
Mentioning the previous incident about the attendant in Li Yuze's mansion, the old emperor's face immediately darkened.
He remembered that those people deliberately left Turkic totems behind, but they were Liang people behind them.
"I didn't expect that I, Dayuan, would be surrounded by wolves, and that even a small country like Liang would dare to come and lick a tiger's beard!"
The old emperor hit the desk with his palm, and a look of solemnity flashed across his eyes.
