Chapter 51 The Agreement with the Courtesan

 Chapter 51 The Agreement with the Courtesan

Master Li put on his clothes again and said shyly:

"Officials, why are you in such a hurry?

Please give me some time so that I can get used to it.

Otherwise, after the slave family is together with the official family today, it will inevitably attract criticism from the courtiers and concubines in the harem.

When the slave family was in Fanlou, they heard from the maid Xiaocui that although Bianliang, the capital city of the Song Dynasty, is prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment;

However, in various places outside the capital, due to natural and man-made disasters, people are in dire straits, and bandits are everywhere.

The slave family risked their lives to advise the officials that they should put the country, the country and the country first, and asked the officials to put more thought into governing the country and not on the love of their children.

If the Song Dynasty regains its glory, the official family can justifiably recruit slaves into the palace, and the officials and concubines in the harem should have nothing to say.

Otherwise, I am afraid that the Nu family will be blamed in the history of the Qing Dynasty and become the praise of the Song Dynasty."

"Hahaha..." Zhao Ji laughed and said, "My abrupt behavior just now was just to test you.

I have frightened you, Master, and I feel very uneasy!

After this test, I know that my teacher is not a beautiful woman who brings disaster, but my virtuous wife!"

Master Li lowered his head and said with shame: "The slave family only hopes that your majesty will put the country, the country, and the country first, and not focus on women."

Zhao Ji nodded, held Master Li's catkin in his hand, and said swornly:

"I have something to say first. If I don't quell the bandits that are rising all over the place, and if I don't let the people live a peaceful and contented life, I will never be lucky enough to teach you."

Master Li said happily: "The official family must work hard to govern, which makes the slave family very happy to see it.

However, the Nu family also suggested that for the Genyue built by the government, the Huashi Gang should be brought from the south. This would waste a lot of people and money!"

"Hahaha." Zhao Ji laughed and said: "I issued a decree yesterday to stop the collection of flower and stone outlines, and I also completed the construction of Genyue, which is still under construction.

Moreover, I have also thought of a good strategy to let Gen Yue generate revenue for the national treasury, so as to increase revenue and raise money in a short period of time for military pay and relief to the victims."

Li Shishi couldn't believe that Zhao Guanjia actually cared about the victims?

She looked at the current Zhao Guan family, who was completely different from before, as if she saw a Holy Lord Mingjun...

Whether Zhao Ji traveled here before or now, he is a person who keeps his promises. Just like the promise he made to Master Li in the boudoir of Fanlou that no one would betray him.

Zhao Ji not only used the shortest time to complete the task of forcibly taking Li Shishi's deed of betrayal from Fanlou and returning it to Li Shishi;

Moreover, Master Li was also asked to become his disciple, the most famous immortal aunt (female Taoist priest) Wenyi Zhenjun, so that his humble and lowly status could be washed away...

Since Zhao Ji made an agreement with Li Shishi to wait until the uprisings in various places were quelled and the people were given a stable and prosperous life before doing good things, then Zhao Ji will definitely keep this promise.

Before Zhao Ji left Longde Palace, he still sent a palace maid to call Wen Yi, who was visiting Concubine Wang Xian, back to Longde Palace, and asked her master and apprentice to study Taoism in Longde Palace...

……

That night, Yang Jian, the eunuch who presided over the opening of Genyue for fee-based business, suddenly asked to see Zhao Guan's family.

Zhao Jixuan met Yang Jian.

After Yang Jian kowtowed to pay homage, he held the memorial watch in his hand and began to chant: "The old slave has set up the entrance donation office of Genyue and the re-charge offices of several scenic spots according to the official's holy will.

Also, the official ordered the old slave to secretly estimate the wealth of the current high-ranking officials and officials above the sixth rank in Beijing. The list is here. The old slave submitted it to the official for review."

Zhao Ji took the estimated list of officials' property, glanced at Yang Jian, a corrupt eunuch, and praised him with words:

"Mr. Yang, I am very pleased that my work has been successful!"
