The group of people left the capital and immediately changed cars.
"Sit in this?" Hongshi felt uncomfortable at first. There was no carriage, only a wide carriage board. It was not a carriage, but a mule carriage. It was so big, where had anyone ever ridden in such a carriage?
Hong Zhou was very happy, "This is good!" How good it is. You can sit on it and watch the excitement on the roadside.
He didn't care about anyone else, so he jumped on the carriage first and took a seat in the carriage.
The Fourth Master reached out and took the whip from the guard waiting to drive the car, and sat on the shaft of the car. Lin Yutong knew at a glance that he was going to drive the car himself. Lin Yutong was quite trustworthy in the Fourth Master's ability to drive the car. She didn't say anything.
Not to mention, sit next to Fourth Master.
Su Peisheng was so frightened that he said, "Long live..." After the words came out of his mouth, he felt that it was not appropriate to call him this outside, so he quickly said: "Master! Master, this is not a joke."
The fourth master disliked his verbosity and said, "Get in the car at the back. I'm taking my wife and kids out for a walk. You stay here and you're an eyesore."
Su Peisheng said heartily, do you really think you are a farmer driving a cart with your wife and children to visit your relatives? Even though you are going to Huangzhuang, the road may not be easy. It happened again a few days ago.
It rained for several days, the road was muddy, the mule was frightened, or the master was jolted out of the way. Whose fault is it?
With this thought in mind, he looked at Lin Yutong with a pleading look on his face.
But Lin Yutong waved to Hongshi and the others, "Come up quickly. You, Ama, will drive the car yourself. Not everyone has the chance to sit in this car. Hurry up."
Hongshi squeaked up and sat next to Hongzhou. He was afraid that the boy would fall if he was dishonest on the road. As soon as he sat firmly, he grabbed Hongzhou's belt.
Hong Zhou: "..." Look at this potential! He is afraid of being so virtuous. If he really falls, it would be useless to hold on to his belt. There seems to be no good except pulling himself down.
Ah! What's the benefit of dragging me down?
Hongli sat on it without changing his expression, but thought to himself, it seems that he still has a lot to learn. For example, when it comes to driving, he definitely doesn't know how.
Hongwang is stupid and bold, and he also has his own ideas. No one in this car is more valuable than himself. They are not afraid, so why should he be afraid?
So in the frightened eyes of Su Peisheng and the guards, the fourth master cracked the whip so loudly that two whiplashes came out, and the mule cart trotted away with the sound of the whip.
Several boys looked at the fourth master with awe in their eyes. Lin Yutong couldn't help but think of the scene when he went from Paoshantun to the county seat. The fourth master seemed to feel something, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Lin Yutong, and the two couldn't help but smile at each other.
,it is more than words.
The few boys sitting in the back, except Hong Shi who has not yet awakened, the other three are quite young. They understand everything they need to know. Hong Shi has a wife and concubines, so this man knows everything about women.
.So looking at the way Huang Ama treats the Queen, it doesn’t look like a show. This is definitely not the result of a show.
There were also girls with red sleeves and fragrant clothes around Hongli, and he was very familiar with the way those girls looked at him. He was surprised by how E Niang and Geng E Niang treated A Ma. They looked at A Ma with respect and fear, and he was afraid of more.
It was completely different from the way the Queen looked at Huang Ama. He couldn't tell what was hidden in that look, but he just felt that compared with the way those girls looked at him, there seemed to be something missing that could not be explained.
. Then he suppressed this thought. After all, wives and concubines are different. Maybe Fujin will look at him like this in the future. He couldn't help but look forward to it.
Hongwang lowered his eyelids, and then quickly looked at Hongshi and the others, a trace of sympathy flashed in his eyes. If the couple doesn't get along, the life of the concubine will be easier, but once the couple gets along, the life of the concubine will be easier... Haha, don't mention it.
.Looking at these three elder brothers now, they are still silly and happy. I am afraid that I will have to see this queen more often in the future.
Unlike several young boys, Su Peisheng's focus was not on this at all. He was on the mule cart behind, urging him, "Keep an eye on me! I'm following you..." As he was talking, he saw the front
The carriage went north along the fork in the road.
"Wrong! Wrong!" Su Peisheng opened his mouth and shouted, that is not the way to Huangzhuang.
Tukesh, the commander of the guards, grabbed Su Peisheng and said, "Eunuch Su, please be careful."
He spoke slowly, and there was no meaning in his eyes. Su Peisheng's heart skipped a beat. He was also confused today. He followed Long Live Master out, and Long Live Master followed him wherever he went. Why did he shout "wrong"? How could Long Live Master do that?
Wrong? Even if it is wrong, you can't say it. Besides, has Long Live Lord really gone wrong? Who knows if he had some plans in advance. He reached out and patted Tukesh on the shoulder, indicating that he had accepted his favor today.
Both of them stopped talking and only urged the guards driving the carriage to follow closely.
The mule cart was turned from the fork in the road, and the road immediately changed. The previous lane could still accommodate two carriages running in parallel, but now the road can barely pass one car, and the road surface is no better than before.
.It can be seen that the road is often repaired. Although it is muddy, it can be seen that Su Peisheng's servant did not talk too much outside, otherwise the road must have been paved overnight. But the road here is almost untouched.
It has been renovated. With more people walking, it naturally becomes a road, and then that's it. If there is a big hole, whose big car can't pass it will be filled. Or maybe a good person or a capable person from ten miles and eight villages will provide money.
Renovating the roads will benefit the village. Of course, if you meet a more responsible local official, they will also take care of these things. Paving roads and building bridges can also be regarded as one of the political achievements. But there is no standard at all. You can only leave it to fate and watch the court.
The officials sent here have personal qualities, vision and abilities.
Lin Yutong was worried. As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build a road. No matter what, this road needs to be built, and there should be a specialized agency to manage it. It doesn’t matter when the railway will be built in the future, but
This highway must be put on the agenda. At the very least, the main road must be renovated.
The Fourth Master no longer cracked his whip and just let the mule walk slowly.
He looked at both sides of the road, and then shook his head. Things are not that simple. Nowadays, as long as it is a cart pulled by livestock, or a horse, a donkey, a mule, or walking on two legs, this principle is the same as this
Transportation is a match. There is nothing in this world that must be matched. Let alone building a highway, what can we do if we build a highway at this time? Is it convenient for driving livestock?
Isn't this nonsense?
"Create a department from the Ministry of Industry and call it the Highway Department." Fourth Master whispered to Lin Yutong, "The road is expanding, but the road surface that needs to be hardened does not need to be wide for the time being." Not to mention that the materials needed to harden the road surface are not available at the moment.
Even if there is, you still have to consider whether it is appropriate for livestock to walk on hardened roads. "What I am considering now is that as long as things like artillery can be transported..."
Lin Yutong listened attentively. These are all very real problems. Not to mention cement asphalt, but stone debris to pave the road. It is very difficult to rely on manpower alone. The key is that the national treasury is still very empty.
On the road, she and Fourth Master were not alone, so Lin Yutong basically didn't talk much and only listened to what Fourth Master said.
This also shocked the four people who were following them. The emperor and the queen were talking about political matters.
Hongli couldn't help but look at Lin Yutong twice. It seemed that his previous thoughts were really biased. Nian and the Queen could not be placed on the same level at all. But Hongshi suddenly felt better.
E Niang's favor has the biggest impact on E Niang. Looking at Emperor Ama's behavior now, I'm afraid that the way he did to Nian in the past was really because of Nian Gengyao. If Emperor Ama chose to ignore E Niang and accommodate Nian because of important matters, in this case
From Hongshi's point of view, it is still acceptable.
After walking along this bumpy path for about a quarter of an hour, the wasteland turned into countryside.
The wheat is shining brightly one after another. The farmers in the fields are wearing double-breasted coarse cloth sweatshirts, with their chests open, waving their sickles to cut the wheat tightly. There are also farmhouse wives with thick hands and feet, bundling the wheat into bundles.
Get up. The young children carrying the buckets should be delivering water to the adults. People walking along the path are people carrying burdens and people pushing wheelbarrows. The wheat is bundled or carried back with burdens or used to carry it back.
We have to push the trolley back, and we have to hurry up while the weather is nice.
The fourth master yelled and the mule cart stopped. He jumped off first and then waved his hands vaguely to Su Peisheng and others who were following closely behind him, telling them not to follow so closely. When Tukesh was sure, he took them to the ditch aside.
After it looked like a mule was drinking, he turned around and tied the animal under the big willow tree on the roadside. "It's right here..." After saying that, he helped Lin Yutong get out of the car and signaled with his eyes to the four boys in the car to hurry up.
Come down by yourself.
It's lunch time now, and there's a bit of coolness under the shade of the trees. The farmers who don't have time to go home for dinner are squatting under the trees in small groups, gnawing on dry food and taking a sip of cold water. Suddenly they saw this group of people,
He was dressed very decently, and everyone couldn't help but stop and look at him, but no one dared to come forward and talk to him.
In this place on the outskirts of Beijing, people are living a pretty good life. But looking at their clothes, they are all covered with patches. A pair of straw sandals will do the job. People who cut wheat stubble have bloody wounds on their feet.
Of course, maybe they can wear nice clothes when they go out. Now, no one wants to ruin their good clothes. But even if they take out their good clothes, they can't compare with those of the people following them, even the landlord in the village.
The master of my house doesn't dress as well as others.
The fourth master walked over, touched the dry tobacco on his body and handed a pot to an older man, "Brother, please give me a place to rest."
The farm man sniffed, the cigarette was indeed good. He wanted to refuse, but he really couldn't bear it. He wiped his hands on his trouser legs, and then took it with both hands, "What are you borrowing, brother! This is everyone's place.
Rest." As he spoke, he moved to the side and exposed the shiny bluestone under his buttocks that had been sat on by countless people for Fourth Master to sit on. He sat on the side next to him.
Cut it on the tree stump.
The fourth master was not polite, but turned his face and looked at Hongshi, "What are you looking at? You haven't even lighted the uncle's cigarette yet."
Uncle?
My uncle, Prince Zhi, is staying well in the mansion.
Besides, how can I light a cigarette myself? If I want to light a cigarette myself, what do I need a slave like Sun Defu to do?
The man quickly waved his hand, "I don't dare bother the scholar." When he saw that the boy was a scholar, he didn't dare to take advantage of his natural respect for scholars. The boy who had eaten cicadas while burning them was burned in the fire.
The wooden stick came over and lit it for the old man.
The Fourth Master called the boy forward, took the throat lozenges he had on him and stuffed them into him, "This kid is really discerning."
The old man smiled so hard that his yellow teeth were exposed, "This is my old son. Children from farmers' families are not allowed to be on the stage."
The boy smiled, put the candy in his arms and said, "Give me the milk and take it back."
It seems that the old man's mother is still alive.
The fourth master also praised other people's children for their filial piety, but also belittled his own children, "These four in my family are more pampered than the last..."
Four pampered elder brothers: "..." Is it my fault that I was born into a royal family?
No matter what these four people thought, the fourth master praised him and started talking to him. This old man is called Yu Cai, and he is forty-eight years old. He may not be very old, but nowadays, he can really be called an old man.
.
"...I also have four sons?" Yu Cai laughed, "I also have four boys. Three of them are married, and this is the only one left. If I give this old son a wife, I will become an old man.
."
Many people who gathered around laughed and said that Old Yutou was a lucky man.
The fourth master slowly talked to these people and asked them how much land they farmed in a year, how much of it was their own, how much of it was tenanted by others, how much the rent was for a year, and how much surplus they could have. How much of their lives were spent?
How about, how many days in a year do you not have to eat only thin food?
Lin Yutong sat outside, sitting on the ground, listening to the men chatting with the women who came to rest.
The women had their hands full, some picked wild vegetables and were sorting them, while others were weaving straw sandals from wheat straws.
Lin Yutong also went over to lend a hand, sorted the straw and handed it to the woman knitting straw sandals.
The woman's red and black face smiled sheepishly, and she took over and started talking to Lin Yutong, "...are you here to visit relatives?"
"Ah!" Lin Yutong responded, "I just came out to visit relatives who I haven't contacted for many years."
The woman nodded in understanding and did not ask further, "You are so lucky to have four sons."
Lin Yutong smiled, very cheerfully, "If you have more sons, you will have more debts."
We talked about things at home again. Do we raise pigs and chickens? Do we educate our children? Besides farming, what other livelihoods do we have at home?
The four elder brothers who came with me have never seen this before. Seeing the mud-legged guys chatting animatedly with the most distinguished couple in the world, I felt frightened for these people. Listen, this one is called the Emperor's Brother, and that one is called the Emperor's Brother.
Queen’s sister-in-law. Oh my god, who dares to shout like that.
Lao Yutou's old son was only twelve or thirteen years old, the same age as Hongli Hongzhou. Seeing that the adults were chatting well and getting some candies, he brought the cooked cicada pupae and entertained him warmly.
guest.
Except for Hong Zhou, the other three faces turned pale. Just give me what you want to eat?
Hong Zhou didn't care, he just reached out and took it, and he was very friendly, "This is a cicada pupa, I know this. It's not delicious when it's burnt so black, so you need to soak it in salt water and peel off the outer shell.
Then fry it in boiling oil to make it taste better. I’ll treat you to that next time.” After saying that, he asked the person familiarly, “What’s your name? You can’t call it Xiao Yutou, right?”
"No." This kid was obviously aroused by the fried cicada monkey painted by Hong Zhou. He chuckled, "My name is Yu Liang. My father said that the harvest was good the year I was born, and the family had a surplus.
If you have food, call me surplus food."
Hong Zhou paid it back, while Hong Li, who was listening on the side, had his eyes twinkling. They all said that now the world is at peace and the people are healthy. Now that they hear this, they can actually have a little bit of surplus food, which is great for farmers.
days.
He looked at Huang Ama in the crowd who was listening to these farmers attentively, and found that he was really listening attentively. When it came to the harvest of the crops, how many stones and buckets could be harvested in a year, he could repeatedly ask several questions.
Once again, he turned around and found that the queen was following a woman to the other side. He looked over there and saw that there was a small ditch over there. Only then did he realize that what the queen was looking at was water conservancy.
He wished he could slap himself on the head. It was something that a woman could think of, but he was just sitting here like a fool. He turned around and wanted to ask the boy named Yu Liang a few questions. Who knew when he turned his face, he found Hong
Both Zhou and the boy were gone. Just as he was about to look for it, he heard the voice of the third child, Hongshi, "Lao Wu, come down here..."
He followed Lao San's voice and looked over, and saw that Hong Zhou had climbed onto the willow tree at some point and was poking the bird's nest with Yu Liang's branches.
This careless idiot.
Hongwang, on the other hand, couldn't help but feel a little complicated. He couldn't help but think of what the emperor said that day, "How is your Ama inferior to me? You can find the answer yourself."
What's the answer?
He doesn't know yet.
But to be honest, it is absolutely impossible to ask my mother to go to the field to talk to these people, and the two brothers are so close.
He didn't want to admit that he was touched, but there was an inexplicable emotion surging in his heart.
After chatting for a while, the people around him began to disperse. We still have to hurry up and do the work in the fields.
Lao Yu wanted to get up, but was embarrassed, so he had to say first: "What kind of relative are you looking for? Do you have a name? I don't dare to say that I know everyone in the villages around here. Nine out of ten, I guess everyone knows something."
"
The Fourth Master burst out laughing, "Brother, I have delayed you for a long time. Finding relatives is all about fate, and I won't force you if you can't find me. Didn't I meet you, brother? I see that we are destined to be together.
.It’s not that distant relatives are better than relatives. I know you are busy, brother, and if you respect me, I will help you..."
"It's a good relationship." Lao Yutou is probably the one who gets the most attention in this scene. Although he doesn't know why this person shows kindness to him, he has nothing to gain from it. If others give him face, he will take care of it.
. He laughed and got off the ground with the Fourth Master.
The fourth master took the sickle and started working. He was very familiar with the job of cutting wheat. Lin Yutong also wanted to help, but the sickle was not enough, so he followed the fourth master and tied the cut wheat into bundles. The two cooperated.
There is a tacit understanding, and the work is not much worse than that of Lao Yu.
"You can't tell, it's really a trick." Lao Yu stood up, wiped his sweat, and gave Fourth Master a thumbs up.
The Fourth Master burst out laughing, with a bit of pride, "We are farmers too."
On the other side, Hongshi was watching, feeling worried. Ama had farmed in the Old Summer Palace before, but it was definitely not like this. This was real work. There were so many things waiting to be dealt with in the imperial court, the emperor
Amma is the same, she really became an old farmer here.
Hong Zhou, who was playing on the side, was having a great time, but his new friend quit, "I have to go back and help."
Hong Zhou felt very disappointed: "You don't want to eat fried cicada monkeys?"
Of course I want to eat it.
Yu Liang had to make a difficult choice between eating fried cicada monkeys and helping his father. Finally, he rolled his eyes and said, "Your father is already helping my family. How dare you not help?"
Hong Zhou choked!
This guy is really good.
If this father was an ordinary father, then I would dare. But my father is really not the kind-hearted old man who has money and gives out sweets in the eyes of this silly boy. If he doesn't make trouble, it will kill people.
He slipped down from the tree and didn't dare not help.
Yu Liang looked at Hong Zhou's unsightly clothes hanging from the branches of the tree, and felt distressed, "The harvest from this acre of land in my family can't even buy clothes like yours." Such nice clothes are new to the body.
, just dare to climb the tree directly. No wonder his father said that all the children in his family are spoiled and prodigal! "Be careful your mother goes back and beats you up." As he said that, he looked towards Lin Yutong who was helping to bundle.
Hong Zhou bared his teeth and smiled, "What are you talking about? Just tell me what you want to do. I can't do it. Doesn't I have an older brother?" He also has three older brothers.
Hehe, I can't trick them this time.
So the four elder brothers couldn't just watch and followed Yu Liang to transport food to Yu Liang's house.
How to luck?
By mule cart?
Who can catch the big car?
Yu Liang looked at the four people as if he was looking at the fourth brother as trash, "Then there's nothing we can do, let's go back and pick."
"There is no burden." Hongshi looked around and saw that there was only a carrying pole, how to pick it up.
Yu Liang sighed. He really didn't know why this rich kid had such a brain. He picked up a few branches from the field that were as thick as a child's arm. Then he demonstrated, tying up the bundles of wheat and using
The stick was threaded, "Two people can carry it and walk, right?"
The four people's faces were a little ugly because their IQ was suspected.
But after taking a look at the emperor and queen who were still working hard, yes! Let’s do it.
Hongshi and Hongwang were in a group, Hongwang and Hongzhou were in a group, and Yu Liang carried his own pole.
The four bundles of wheat were not heavy when they were first carried, but they could not carry them for a long time. After walking for a while, Hongwang felt that they were getting heavier and heavier as he walked. When he looked again, he saw that all the wheat had reached his end. Originally, it was up to Hongwang to
It was not pleasing to the eye, and now he felt that Hongshi was even more cunning. He suddenly raised the stick, then suddenly threw his hand away, and the end of the stick hit him on the foot without being caught.
Hongshi immediately became annoyed. This kid had taken the wrong medicine. Why would he be targeting him if nothing happened? "...What do you want to do?"
"What do you want to do?" Hongwang looked at his already red palms, "I'm an elder brother, and you don't even know how to let me do it. I have to be able to handle such a heavy weight."
Who has put it on your side?
Hongshi just wanted to push back, but he thought it was right. He was still his brother no matter what. After thinking about it again, he realized that he was five years older than Hongwang. Can this twenty-year-old boy be as tall as a fifteen-year-old?
He is a head taller than Hongwang. Since each is taller, his arms and legs are longer. When he lifts himself up, his side is naturally taller. Doesn't this wheat just slide from high to low?
After thinking about this, he looked at Hongwang's hand again and remembered how kind Uncle Eighth was to him. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it. Why bother with a child? "Okay! I'll focus on this, okay?"
The two of them lifted up again, but Hongshi felt uncomfortable and had to bend down to accommodate Hongwang's height.
This happened again and again, and throughout the morning, Hongshi couldn't straighten his waist. When had he ever suffered from this?
At noon, we had a meal at Yu's house. There were distinguished guests at home who were helping. The meal at Lao Yu's house was quite sumptuous. Yu Liang said, "My father specially asked my mother to cut half a catty of meat."
How many people can eat half a pound of meat?
Even for someone with Hong Zhou's temperament, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable at this moment.
Is this the peaceful and prosperous age that the courtiers boast about?
On the way back, the four boys were silent.
After closing the city gate and entering the capital, the fourth master asked someone to take Hongwang back to the eighth master's house, and then he took Lin Yutong and his three sons back to the palace.
Hongshi collapsed as soon as he entered his elder brother's house. Dong E was so frightened when he saw this that he ordered Sun Defu, "Hurry up and call the imperial doctor!"
"Quiet!" Hongshi yelled while lying on the bed, "What are you yelling about?" Huang Ama and Huang Aniang have done much more than him, so why don't you come back and say nothing?
If the imperial physician had been invited, Concubine Qi, the imperial physician, would have sent someone to deliver the news.
Besides, Hong Li and Hong Zhou are younger than me, so is it just because of my squeamishness? Today, I have to bear it even if I have to bear it hard.
Dong E didn't know the reason, but he burst into tears after being scolded by Hong Shi. This time he really cried. Most of the usual crying was just pretending. Who said that this man of his was a soft-spoken man?
.If you are soft, he will be softer than you; if you are hard, he will be harder than you. With such a personality, what can you do?
My natal family is not obvious. At that time, I was just the third elder brother of Prince Yong's Mansion, and my family background was not bad. But who knew that the wheel of fate would turn one by one, and now I would become the Sanfujin.
She was said to be Sanfujin, but she was actually the emperor's eldest daughter-in-law.
From now on... if her husband is more talented, he may not be able to take a step closer. Until then... she doesn't dare to think about it, because so far, she has not given birth to a son or a daughter.
Normally when this man came back, he would never scold her even if he was in a bad mood. Today, he was so good-natured that he gave her such a scolding.
Why?
Hongshi was most afraid of women's tears. Just as he was thinking about how to persuade him, a report came from outside that the imperial doctor had arrived and had been rewarded by the emperor.
Mrs. Dong E burst into tears and burped, quickly wiped her tears, and didn't dare to ask anything. She just looked at Hong Shi with her eyes.
"Please come in." Hongshi thought of Huang's mother who accompanied Huang Ama to the ground, and couldn't help but feel very upset. What could Fujin of his own do with him? If he continued like this, he could cry with her.
.Where did you get so many tears? "Wipe them away quickly. It's time for E Niang to send someone to take a look. You said you look like this..." No wonder E Niang is always picky.
Dong E's head bowed and did not dare to speak. Concubine Qi disliked her natal family's lack of support and blamed herself for not giving birth to an heir. If this was not the period of filial piety, her father's backyard would probably be full.
She hurriedly went to the side room to clean herself, but she was thinking in her heart that it was not a good idea to ask Concubine Qi to stare at her like this. She might as well go to pay her respects to the queen.
"Greetings to the Queen?" Niu Gulu looked in disbelief at her son who came over to greet her from exhaustion, "You ask E Niang to go and greet the Queen on time every day?"
Even after the queen clearly said that there was no need to pay her respects, and after she expressed that she wanted to pray for the queen mother.
Isn’t this just slapping yourself in the face?
"E Niang!" Hongli knelt down with a pop, "For the sake of my son, I have made E Niang suffer."
Niu Gulu's mouth tightened, "My son is not a person who talks freely. E Niang knows that you are filial, so she will not ask E Niang to do this for no reason."
Hongli's eyes turned red, he lowered his head and said in a voice that only mother and son could hear: "...The big event in the future may be E Niang..."
Do your duty well, this is the most basic thing.
Judging from Huang Ama's attitude towards the Queen, whoever can truly respect the Queen may have a greater chance. In this aspect, I can't compare with Hong Shi and Hong Zhou. The relationship between Hong Shi and the Queen
The deepest, but Hongzhou was the youngest, and the most fond of her because of her young age. The queen always loved Hongzhou a little more than she did herself.
Therefore, the more this situation occurs, the more duty one must have.
Han Xin can bear the humiliation of his crotch. What does this matter now compare to the big events in the future?
The mother and son looked at each other, and they both saw something called ambition in each other's eyes.
The look on Niu Gulu's face became more and more peaceful, and finally she showed a bit of a smile, "Don't worry. My mother worked hard for ten years before she had the chance to give birth to you. She worked hard for another ten years before you could grow up.
Big." He is so good-looking that the emperor likes him. "Now for you, what if I have to endure it for another ten years?"
As soon as the mother and son finished talking, Lin Yutong got the news.
"It's true..." Lin Yutong shook his head, "If you like it, just endure it." It made it easier for me.
After saying that, he sent everyone who was waiting in the room out, leaned next to the fourth master and started talking about business, "...there are so many things, so many things. But no matter what the matter is, the most lacking thing is money. Money.
Where does it come from? The national treasury must be abundant. It will definitely not work within ten years, but can we wait ten years?"
Can't afford to wait. Can't afford to waste ten years.
The Fourth Master laughed and said, "I know what you want." After saying that, he pulled out a drawing from the bookshelf next to him and said, "Look at this."
Lin Yutong looked at the drawing and saw that it was a ship, or a battleship.
"It's very crude, but it's enough." Fourth Master lit the ship, "It's a long-distance voyage, a cargo ship and a battleship."
Lin Yutong's hand touched the drawing. As long as there is such a fleet, wealth can be continuously transported back to the country.
There was a complicated expression on the fourth master's face, "The ship has been secretly built by Lao Shisan. As for how to operate it..." He pushed the blueprint in front of Lin Yutong, "It's up to you."
Lin Yutong took it over. It was not easy for her to interfere in court affairs. She could hide behind her back and help Fourth Master approve the seals and stamp the jade seal, but she couldn't let anyone know about it. Now was not the time to cause unnecessary trouble. But Fourth Master left it to her.
As long as you use the right methods, you can completely avoid court affairs.
Tossing and turning all night, Lin Yutong was thinking about what should be done about this matter.
Early the next morning, she first asked people to invite Jiu Fu Jin into the palace.
Jiu Fujin was inexplicably surprised and asked Master Jiu, who had just gotten out of the bed of the newly acquired Yangzhou Skinny Horse and rushed over after getting the news, "Did the peony last time work?"
Not guaranteed!
Master Jiu touched his chin pretending to be serious, "Let's go to the palace first. I guess it won't be a bad thing."
Is not this nonsensical?
If something bad happens, why should I come to you? Then I have to come to you first.
"Don't bring anything else into the palace?" Jiu Fujin asked again. If you want to bring anything, just get it quickly. Anyway, I won't use private money to fill the hole.
This prodigal bitch! It was she who invited us into the palace, not us who begged us to enter the palace. What should we bring? Can we get rid of the things for the queen that are not good? Send, send, send! Just know how to send them out.
He rolled his eyes and said, "I won't take it! Isn't it worth a thousand pieces of gold if you haven't heard a good word? You can have everything with your mouth."
Jiu Fujin stretched out his hand and said, "I'll give you a 20% discount."
What does Mao mean?
Jiu Ye squinted at Jiu Fujin.
Jiu Fujin rolled his eyes at him and said, "Give me eight hundred taels of gold, and I will say a sweet word when I enter the palace."
So you go into the palace and say flattering words to the queen and you have to pay money?
Master Jiu snorted, raised his legs and walked away. He shouldn't be arguing with this bitch.
Jiu Fujin, who had successfully pissed off his father, was in a beautiful mood. He chose a bright green cheongsam and a ginger vest and entered the palace in bright colors.
She thought she was already young enough when she was dressed up, but she didn't expect to find out that there was something even more tender when she met the queen.
The queen wore a gauze jacket and a pink skirt, dressed like a Han woman. Her hair was tied up in a loose bun with a pink and white peony on it.
You must know that the queen is already in her forties this year.
She thought to herself that it was different now that she was nourished by a man, and her mentality became younger. When she finished the ceremony and looked at the queen's face, she saw that there were no wrinkles at all.
He doesn't look like he's over forty. Some people believe him when he says he's in his late twenties, early thirties, or early thirties.
"Have you taken the magic elixir?" Jiu Fujin joked with a smile.
"What kind of magic elixir?" Lin Yutong pointed to the chair next to her and asked her to make it. "As for the magic elixir, there really is one in this world. I came to you today because of it."
"Oh?" Jiu Fujin raised his eyebrows in surprise. She really liked such a straight-to-the-point way of speaking. So she hurriedly handed over the words, "I'm curious about what this is that has become a miracle elixir."
Lin Yutong burst into laughter, "Not many people don't like this thing. With it, 80% of the world's problems can be solved. What is it if it's not a magic pill?"
Jiu Fujin suddenly felt enlightened, and then he laughed: "This is what you are talking about - silver!"
Lin Yutong clapped his hands and said, "It's not just silver."
Is it really silver?
Jiu Fujin smiled on his face, but his heart was pounding. He was not talking to himself about money, he was telling himself to send a message to his father.
What could it be?
Could it be that the bribe last time was not of a high quality?
Or is there no benefit from directly giving money?
Why do you think now that the Queen is openly asking for bribes?
