Chapter 370 Let’s make money together(1/2)
"Everyone, the Xingshe people are here."
As soon as Song Yongchen left, Feng Jing came to report.
"Oh." Zhao Xu sat up straight: "Bring him in."
Soon, Xing Shu was brought to Zhao Xu.
"I sincerely wish your Majesty long blessings!"
"No courtesy, I'll give you a seat!" Zhao Xu is usually very easy-going in private, and this time is no exception.
When Xing Shu sat down, Zhao Xu asked: "She is eager to see me, but is it related to the Liao envoy?"
"Your Majesty, the Holy Ming Wu Guo!" Xing Shu began to flatter him now: "That's exactly what it is."
Zhao Xu showed a bright smile: "She is really my Zhang Yi and Su Qin!"
Xing Shu was immediately elated.
Su Qin and Zhang Yi are all his idols.
Moreover, both are prime minister-level figures!
Are the officials hinting at me?
Xing Shu was full of energy and said: "How dare I compare with Zhang and Su Xian?"
Zhao Xu rubbed his hands and said to Xing Shu, "Xing She doesn't have to be humble!"
"In this matter, I will give my full support to Scheren no matter what I do!"
"Your Majesty trusts me so much, I am so grateful!" Xing Shu immediately expressed his stance: "I will live up to your Majesty's trust!"
"Yes." Zhao Xu nodded: "Of course I can trust Shiren."
"In the future, I will have more important responsibilities, which I will entrust to the people!"
Xing Shu's heart skipped a beat, and adrenaline was secreted rapidly.
No one can refuse the cake drawn by the emperor.
What's more, this official is only young, but since he came to the throne, the cakes he has drawn for the ministers have finally been implemented.
Xingshu immediately bowed and said, "I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty!"
…
Zhao Xu stayed in the Kaifeng government office until the evening of that day, when the palace was locked, and then he drove back to the palace.
Naturally, he did a lot of things in Kaifeng Mansion.
First, of course, with the assistance of Cai Jing and others, he began to formally contact the daily affairs of Kaifeng Mansion.
Naturally, they are all koans carefully selected and screened by Cai Jing and others.
All good things!
For example, a certain merchant in the east of the city owed the government 20 guan and could not afford to pay it back. The official begged to reduce the debt according to the law.
For example, the officials in the left and right chambers said that it was raining in Bianjing in the early spring, and the people building trenches outside the city had many cases of typhoid fever, and they begged the Kaifeng Prefecture for medicine.
In short, just do good things.
Zhao Xu was naturally obedient and agreed to everything.
In addition to dealing with these matters, Zhao Xu spent most of his time in the meeting hall, listening to Cai Jing and the officials discussing how to rectify the issue of street intrusion in Kaifeng Mansion.
The ministers discussed and discussed, but in the end they were always troubled by the same problem - what if the houses in the city that were invaded by the people and the imperial guards were demolished and invaded the streets and rivers.
Where do they live?
Sleeping on the street?
In the event of large-scale freezing to death outside, who will be responsible?
That must be the person who proposed demolishing their house!
No one dares to take this responsibility!
Not to mention the mutiny of the Forbidden Army that cost lives.
This matter has reached a deadlock.
Fan Chunren and Lu Dafang thought of another strange idea - to expand Bianjing City.
But then there are new problems. Building a new city is a big project!
Don't even think about it if you don't have millions of dollars.
Where to get this money?
You can't just create new problems just to solve one problem, right?
What's more, it's impossible for the imperial court to agree to this.
Because the capital was only rebuilt in the first year of Yuanfeng, the old party gentry were extremely dissatisfied with this matter.
Now, if there is another large-scale construction project, everyone inside and outside the government will criticize it with words and writings.
So, the matter came to a standstill.
Zhao Xu was naturally not in a hurry, and comforted the ministers not to be anxious, and to take their time, there would always be a way.
His attitude calmed the officials.
After returning to the palace, Zhao Xu first went to the Qingshou Palace to say hello, and then went to the Kunning Hall to say hello. He had dinner with the Queen Mother and talked for a while before returning to the Funing Hall.
By this time, it was already midnight in the evening.
Under the service of the female officials, Zhao Xu took a bath, washed, put on clean pajamas, and then went to bed.
He is young now and sleeps well, so he fell asleep quickly.
…
When Zhao Xu slept soundly.
Many people in Bianjing City are tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
They all already know what happened in Kaifeng Mansion today.
This is normal - even the news within the palace is often spread all over the world. Just Kaifeng Mansion? It is simply a shabby house with air leakage from all sides.
They may not know the details of the conversation between Song Yongchen, Sun Ci and others.
But they must know that when Sun Ci and others were bidding farewell and going out, they were stopped by Song Yongchen and stayed.
And who is Song Yongchen?
One of the most trusted big minks by the late emperor, he is also one of the most trusted big minks among today's officials.
Last year, Daming Prefecture controlled water, built rivers, and built roads, and the officials were in charge of it based on their control.
So, they began to use every possible means to find out what Song Yongchen said to Sun Ci and others.
And the results were quickly returned to these people.
Song Yongchen, on behalf of the emperor, gave these people a new brewing method as a reward.
It is said that this new brewing method is a secret recipe of the palace.
It wasn't until these people heard the news that they put their hanging hearts back into their stomachs.
"Today's officials are really benevolent and generous!" Countless people laughed after hearing about the incident.
"He is indeed a descendant of Renmiao!" Some people were so proud that they even laughed in their hearts at the guys who paid back the money.
"The secret method of the palace?"
Do you really think that they are rich people from the countryside who have never drank the so-called "old wine" in the palace?
hehe!
Now, tens of thousands of dollars of extravagant wealth have been exchanged for this Lao Shizi's 'Palace Secret Technique'.
How funny!
As a result, their attitude towards Sun Ci also changed.
The jealousy and criticism in the past few days have turned into cynicism.
"After all, he's just a Dr. Liquor. He's too reckless!"
"Now, your intestines are full of regret, right?"
"I'm afraid I won't even be able to pay the money to buy music next year! Just in time, I can swallow up those foot shops of his!"
However, they would not know that at this moment, Sun Ci was in the study room at home, looking at the pamphlet written by Yu Ci, his eyes shining brightly.
Because, this booklet not only records the brewing technology, process and steps very clearly with pictures and texts.
More importantly, there is a piece of paper tucked into the booklet.
This paper is Yuan Shu paper, the paper used by the royal family. There are words on the paper.
"A merchant of loyalty!" Sun Ci muttered these four words in a low voice.
Next to these four words, there is also a seal, which is made of small paper.
A treasure made by Yuan You.
The emperor's reign title was Yuanyou, so this is the emperor's private seal?
Sun Ci took a deep breath.
To be continued...
