Wei Changqing stood up and gave a deep salute: "Your Majesty is so worried about the country and the people. Even if the common people are not as talented as a dragon or a phoenix, they should do their best to assist your Majesty!"
"As long as you work hard to make money, you will be a big help to me." Lin Chong helped him up: "Don't put so much pressure on yourself, just do it according to your usual style. I believe in your ability.
.”
"The common people will do their best to live up to His Majesty's trust."
"Okay, it's been such a long time before I know it. Gu Qinghuan's girl is probably waiting for you to go back. Let's take her away as soon as it's dawn." In fact, what he was really worried about was that Lu Qinghuan would ask to stay while it was dark.
Come down, it will definitely be as big as his head.
After talking about the business, the atmosphere between them became more relaxed. Wei Changqing let out a long sigh. He didn't know what to say. With Gu Qinghuan's willful temper, if she really didn't want to leave, who could drag him away?
?
"Counting the time, it's time for dinner. Let's go. You haven't seen Qingfang for a long time, right? I think she and Qing Huan were the same person for a long time. I
I guess you didn't tell the difference." Lin Chong teased him as he walked.
"Don't believe it when I tell you, I really felt it at the time. It's just that sometimes she seems to have suddenly changed into a different person. Her temper is so unstable that it's hard to get close to her. Sometimes she will hit people, and sometimes she will hit people.
He also acted like he was completely incapable of martial arts, and I was tossing and turning at that time, which was inexplicable."
But he was an ancient person after all, and his thinking was limited. Unlike Lin Chong, who had read so many time-travel novels, he immediately thought that these were probably two completely different people.
Even if he felt something was wrong, the first thing he would think of would be that this person has a strange personality. He would never immediately think that this person might not be that person at all.
"Actually, do you know? Even if I didn't stop you from marrying Gu Qinghuan, you wouldn't be able to marry her in the end." Lin Chong asserted.
"Why do you say that? Is it because of Miss Yuan?" Wei Changqing said with a smile.
"Of course it is. By the way, have you ever fought against her? Who is better between the two of you?" Lin Chong asked curiously.
"I didn't know Miss Yuan had any special skills before. I thought it was just Qing Huan who had learned some boxing and kicking skills. Besides, she had always hidden it intentionally, so we had never fought each other. I think she has been traveling around the world all year round, so she should be better than me." Wei Changqing.
Be humble.
Lin Chong encouraged him: "It's not certain who is stronger and who is weaker. Don't give up so easily. Otherwise, I'll go talk to Qing'er and let you two find time to have a good competition."
Wei Changqing hesitated: "Given Ms. Yuan's status, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the two of us to compete. If others find out, they might have to arrange for me."
Lin Chong was happy and patted him on the shoulder: "Since I said it was a private competition, I will never let others know about it. What do you have to worry about?"
Wei Changqing was about to continue to refuse politely, but they had already reached Yuan Qingfang's place. Wei Changqing gave a salute, and Yuan Qingfang returned the favor.
Overall, the meal was quite enjoyable for the host and guest. As soon as the meal was over, Lin Chong wanted to drive this little girl away. She had been trying to find a chance to stay, and Lin Chong had already discovered it.
.
If she was really allowed to stay, if something happened accidentally, Yuan Qingfang might kill them both in the future. Forget it, it's not worth taking the risk.
Furthermore, he did not want to lose a wealthy man like Wei Changqing because of this. In the future, he would have to rely more on his efforts to issue official banknotes.
After all, they were finally sent out. Lin Chong and Yuan Qingfang personally escorted them to the door and boarded the carriage. Before leaving, Lin Chong did not forget to ask Wei Changqing: "Boss Wei, please don't forget to promise me!
Waiting for the good news that your business will grow!"
Wei Changqing couldn't help but laugh. After laughing, he said seriously: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. The common people will not dare to forget your instructions no matter what."
Lin Chong waved his hand with a smile and watched their carriage drift away and disappear into the dusk.
Yuan Qingfang didn't expect that the two of them would make some agreement that no one else knew about in such a short period of time. When they walked away, she asked curiously: "What did you entrust him with?"
Lin Chong waved his hand with an inscrutable look on his face, patted the non-existent dust on his clothes, turned around and went back, leaving only one sentence that was said but not said: "The secret must not be leaked, you will know it by then.
"
Yuan Qingfang snorted softly: "If you don't want to say it, just throw it away. I don't want to know yet." After saying that, he walked faster than Lin Chong, turned around and returned to his palace.
Because they had just arrived in Nanjing and the current situation was turbulent, they lived in a palace that they had left here before and was not that grand. But after all, it was built by the royal family. Even if it was not as majestic and gorgeous as the Forbidden City, it was still large.
It's enough to make ordinary wealthy people speechless.
Lin Chong was not worried about Yuan Qingfang's little temper at all. Her temper usually disappeared without a trace within a few minutes, and Lin Chong didn't even need to coax her. This was what he liked most.
Unlike the times he lived in, where girls lost their temper at every turn and wanted to buy this or that, and they had to say all the nice things before they could give up. Women in ancient times knew how to put their husbands first.
However, he did have something to do today, and several old men would come over to discuss with him the issue of tax reduction that he mentioned before, although he didn't know what there was to discuss about such an issue every day.
Emperor Chongzhen used to believe in the Donglin Party. After listening to their words, he wanted to reduce taxes on industry and commerce. This was actually right, but the timing of implementation was wrong.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty was already in a precarious state. On this basis, if we wanted to reduce taxes on industry and commerce, it would be equivalent to imposing heavy taxes on farmers.
We are all mortals, and everyone needs to be fed and clothed. How could they not rise up and resist in this situation? So Lin Chong’s first priority now is to appease the farmers in this situation. Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng have already done this.
But there must not be more of them.
Judging from the intelligence collected by Mu Xi and others, in addition to the few vassal kings who were beaten into chaos by them before, there is also an unidentified army heading towards Nanjing. It is not yet known whether it is the enemy.
It's a friend.
"I don't know if he is an enemy or a friend? Then go and find out clearly. For such a big matter, you can't always use this sentence to deal with me." Lin Chong sighed.
