After coming out of the palace, Li Jiaoyue felt guilty and felt sorry for Shen Qingyu.
But she soon adjusted herself.
Although I have a good rapport with Shen Qingyu and have a good relationship, I am still a citizen of Daxia, and I must consider issues from Daxia's standpoint.
Li Jiaoyue can still grasp the scale in his heart.
Well, it is said that Princess Hanlian has three blisters on her feet. She will not go shopping with Shen Qingyu in the next few days, so she will accompany her.
It was already evening when Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao met again at the Sifang Pavilion of Honglu Temple.
Qi Yunxiao came to pick her up to have dinner with her.
Daxia also arranged dinner.
Shen Qingyu naturally would not refuse, and then the husband and wife talked about what they had experienced today.
The king of Daxia promised to sell grain to Qi Yunxiao, and even took the initiative to invite Qi Yunxiao to come to Daxia to open Guiyun Tower.
Of course, there are conditions.
The monarch of Daxia wants to form a partnership, of course he does it secretly.
Qi Yunxiao knew very well: The Emperor of Daxia was not interested in the little money Guiyun Tower made, but wanted to use the convenience of Guiyun Tower to open all over Daqi, so that he could put his own people there as clerks and shopkeepers in the future.
.
After all, if Guiyun Tower can be opened throughout Daxia and Daqi, officials from various places will follow the trend of Qi Yunxiao and agree.
The king of Daxia who could kill his father and become emperor was naturally ambitious.
Who without ambition would fight for the tiring throne of the emperor?
However, before Qi Yunxiao came to Daxia, he reported his ideas to His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty the Emperor also agreed.
This kind of overt spies are not terrible. On the contrary, they can also use their existence to convey some information that they want the other party to know.
So the matter was decided like this.
The next thing to talk about is the price and quantity of food.
This is a matter of detail, but it cannot be ignored.
What His Majesty the Emperor means is, of course, the more the better, and the faster the better.
This year's grain harvest in Da Qi has failed, and the real difficult period has just begun.
The people's grain reserves have been basically used up, but the new grain has been confiscated. This new grain will have to wait until next year's grain matures before the people can catch it.
How many people will starve to death in the vacancy?
People are very hungry, but they dare to do anything.
Shen Qingyu then also talked about what she gained after walking for a day.
The food here is indeed cheap, and polished rice and noodles only cost twelve cents a pound.
Multigrain noodles only cost seven cents a pound!
Compared with the price of food in Daqi, this is really as high as in the sky!
Shen Qingyu is so jealous!
"They actually grow two crops of food a year here! The sun and rain are both good, so no wonder food is so cheap."
Qi Yunxiao laughed and reached out to rub the top of her head: "That's why Your Majesty wanted me to come here to buy food."
Yes.
The two of them calmed down and went to the banquet together.
The king of Daxia looked up to Qi Yunxiao very much, and even invited many young people from aristocratic families in the royal capital to attend the banquet together, striving to create a harmonious atmosphere with someone of the same age.
Princess Hanlian looked down upon Shen Qingyu, so she excused herself from hurting her foot.
Li Jiaoyue is here, and there are also many ladies, princesses, and princesses from aristocratic families.
The meal was a pleasant one, and Qi Yunxiao's handsome appearance and decent and calm conversation made the monarch of Daxia like him even more.
Such a young man is so lovable.
It's a pity that he is now a popular figure in front of the Emperor of Daqi. I heard that because of Qi Yunxiao, the Emperor of Daqi had a face-to-face fight with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and only then could he retain his position as the Young Minister of Honglu Temple.
After the meal, Qi Yunxiao and others took their leave, but the King of Daxia called his personal servant and gave some instructions in a low voice.
The two returned to the Sifang Hall of Honglu Temple. Qi Yunxiao made a habit of going to the Dragon Guard first to look at the boxes.
As soon as Shen Qingyu stepped into the yard where she lived, she heard Qi Yunxiao shouting: "Chen San? Chen San! Wake up..."
Shen Qingyu turned around and ran over there.
As soon as she entered the courtyard of the dragon guards, Shen Qingyu was dumbfounded: the dragon guards were lying on the ground in a mess, and a few were obviously injured and unconscious.
Qi Yunxiao had already rushed into the house to look at the box.
Shen Qingyu also rushed in, and then... was stunned.
The boxes have been opened, and the stones inside are... full of them.
This is very embarrassing.
Shen Qingyu's eyes widened, and it took him a while to say: "They replaced the gold..."
Qi Yunxiao: "..." Guess whether I believe it or not.
But...this is possible!
The envoy from the Sifang Hall of Honglu Temple was hacked!
The gold they brought to buy food was stolen and turned into stone!
When the news came out, the eyes of the King of Daxia widened!
How is this possible?!
Check!
Check it out quickly!
And that gold must be found!
Qi Yunxiao stood in front of the King of Daxia with a slumped face, but what he said was very rogue: "Your Majesty, this money is lost, look at this food..."
The king of Daxia has a severe headache!
What's wrong? You lost your money, and you're still going to ask me to directly compensate you for the same value of food?
You are not here to buy food, you are here to rob!
The major criminal investigation departments in Daxia started working continuously, and in one day, they found the thief: he was the second prince's man.
Although the second prince was defeated, he luckily escaped.
Now if you want to make a comeback, you must have money, so you set your sights on the gold Qi Yunxiao brought over.
They chose to put drugs in their meals.
Those with weak kung fu fell quickly, while those with good kung fu fell slowly, so the second prince's men started fighting with Chen San and other people who had not yet fallen.
After all, they were drugged, and Chen San and others were killed.
I thought everything was going well, but when I entered the house and opened the box, I found that there was no gold at all in the box! It was all stones!
This is a shame.
The second prince's people thought that Da Qi's people had taken precautions and moved the gold in advance, so they could only retreat empty-handed, cursing.
This is what happened, but no one would believe it.
So he was tortured severely.
Several unlucky guys were beaten to death, but they only felt that they were more unjust than Dou E.
Everything I said is true!
Why don’t you believe it?
The king of Daxia asked Qi Yunxiao: "How much gold did you bring?"
Qi Yunxiao opened his mouth and came: "Five boxes of gold, two thousand taels each, totaling ten thousand taels of gold."
The King of Daxia: "..."
So, according to what you want, for rice worth 100,000 taels, which is 12 cents per catty, I will give you nearly 80,000 shi of grain?!
Why don’t you move our treasury away?
How about you just annex Daxia directly to your Qi country?
The king of Daxia wanted to kill people and silence them.
Qi Yunxiao also knew that this figure would definitely not be available, so he took the initiative to lower the price: "Then... how much food can you give me?"
The King of Daxia: "..."
The king of Daxia did not say how much he would give, he only said that he would see the situation.
This means that we still need to discuss it with the ministers.
By the time Qi Yunxiao returned to the Sifang Pavilion where the courtyard had been changed, Shen Qingyu had already taken care of all the injured people.
Chen San, who had woken up, looked guilty: "My lord, the county boss, it's my fault that I didn't do my job well... Please punish me."
Qi Yunxiao waved his hand: "That's all, that's it anyway."
Returning to the yard where she lived, Shen Qingyu asked cautiously: "Have you recovered the money?"
Qi Yunxiao glanced at Shen Qingyu, half-smiling but not smiling: "You don't know whether I'm chasing you or not?
Shen Qingyu: "..."
What should I do if he feels guilty after seeing him like this?
