When he arrived at the Four Princes' Mansion, the guards at the door also knew Xiao Chen, and respectfully saluted Xiao Chen and said, "Little boy, are you here?"

Xiao Chen nodded and said, "I want to meet my sister." ”

The guard at the door nodded and said, "Little boy, come in with me first, I'll call Niangniang." ”

After thinking about it, Xiao Chen said, "No need, tell me where my sister is yourself, I'll go see my sister." ”

The guard nodded lightly and said, "At this time, Niangniang should prepare the New Year's feast in the flower hall." ”

Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Okay, thank you." ”

After finishing speaking, he also walked in, the word thank you, it seems that Xiao Shuyue taught him after following Xiao Shuyu, and now, she has become accustomed to using this language.

After arriving at the flower hall, Xiao Shuyue was surrounded by dense all kinds of things, cloths, pastries, ingredients, and even flower petals, all of which had to be taken to Xiao Shuyue for a look, and Xiao Shuyue looked at these things again, and then decided that those things should stay, which things were not wanted, and looked at it, Xiao Shuyue directly filtered out several of these fabrics, the reason is that these colors are too monotonous, and they have no characteristics, but they don't even have simple things on them, and they are boring to see, Xiao Shuyue looked at several kinds of fabrics, and felt dissatisfied, and thought about it: "Forget it, you go to the Brocade Pavilion, and let them directly give you something called cloud yarn, let them draw some flowers on it with gold clay, and use silk for the rest. ”

Listening to Xiao Shuyue's words, the finance minister below suddenly said with a bitter face: "Niangniang, if you use silk, the cost will be too high." ”

Xiao Shuyue thought about it, it was indeed a bit expensive, and she paused and said: "That's it, these things are still used normally, and after they are used up, they will be auctioned off, and they will be auctioned with royal permission, silk can be auctioned by merchants who you think are better, to see who can get the right to sponsor this time, remember, it's not that we buy, but that this time it's all recyclable, and after we use it, these merchants can be recycled back and continue to sell, do you understand what this means?"

Listening to Xiao Shuyue's words, the Chancellor's eyes lit up, why didn't he think of such a good idea? Of course, in fact, it is not unexpected, but there are so many royal banquets every year, where would he think of using the word sponsor.

"Remember, although these things can be bidd, they must be affordable by these merchants, and there is no room for mistakes, understand?" After listening to Xiao Shuyue's words, the Minister of Finance also understood what Xiao Shuyue meant, and said with a smile: "Lord Xiao, don't worry, with your clever tricks, it is estimated that in the future, the royal banquet will be able to make many merchants compete for auctions." ”

Xiao Shuyue nodded, many people think that the royal things are sold after they are used, which is very cheap, but in fact, these things actually need to be divided into a lot of silver taels, but if these treasury are used to get these things every year, then wouldn't it be too wasteful! And the common people will have a worse and worse life these days, you think, this money has reached the treasury, and the money from the treasury is used for consumption by these nobles, and how much is left for people's livelihood, so this is actually a little uneconomical in itself, of course, some can use Xiao Shuyue's method, but some are really not.

There are many things that cannot be copied as a symbol of the country, a symbol of prosperity and strength.

When Xiao Shuyue solved the matter of the cloth, she began to talk about the problem of pastries, Xiao Shuyue tasted them one by one, too sweet and too salty, each of them was strictly screened by Xiao Shuyue.

Looking at his serious appearance of calling his sister, Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel an urge of admiration in his heart.

He walked over and called softly, "Sister!"

Xiao Qingcheng was trying these things, when he heard Xiao Chen's voice, he turned around and saw, "Xiao Chen, why are you here?"

"I'm here to see you. ”

Xiao Qingcheng smiled slightly: "Sit here first, and wait until I'm done with things here." ”

Xiao Chen didn't bother Xiao Shuyue, but sat obediently on the side, watching Xiao Shuyue point out the loopholes of these things little by little, and even the pastries discussed with the imperial chef in person, what kind of taste should be made, see if you can think of a way, these are a new attempt for everyone, Xiao Shuyue held a banquet for the first time, this time, there is no room for any mistakes, and Xiao Shuyue also did everything in person, almost every procedure in this is something that Xiao Shuyue agreed to and can do, and the programs at the banquet, Xiao Shuyue In addition to the programs of these ladies in the palace, Xiao Shuyue also invited the heavens and the earth to perform。

Over the years, it has not been a big deal for the heavens and the earth to come to the palace to perform, and the popularity of the heavens and the earth over the years has been inferior to that of ordinary officials.

By the time Xiao Shuyue was finally done, Xiao Chencha had already drunk three pots.

Xiao Shuyue sat next to Xiao Chen and said, "This time is a little busy, let's wait for a long time." ”

Xiao Chen shook his head lightly and said, "Sister, you are really powerful, I can't understand a lot of these things, but you easily pointed out the loopholes"

Xiao Shuyue took a sip of tea and said, "There are some things that you have been exposed to, so you will naturally understand, by the way, is the master giving you a holiday today......?" You're here to see your mother?"

Xiao Chen shook his head lightly and said, "No...... I'm here to see you. ”

"Look at me, what do I have to look at!"

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I read your theory of governing the country, and I ...... I guess I was one of your first few readers, but ...... When he published the book in the order in which it was published, I was still a little amazed at the wonder of the book!"

Xiao Shuyue looked at the theory of governing the country that Xiao Chen took out, took it in her hand, and gently flipped it over: "These things...... The benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise, but only the strategy for governing the country is what I really want to give to them, and it depends on whether they are willing to do it. ”

"Sister...... These things...... Can it really be realized?" Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Shuyue with some disbelief, Xiao Shuyue nodded and said, "Yes, it just depends on how long the time is, maybe five years, maybe ten years, or maybe ...... We'll never meet again in our lifetimes, probably...... Hundreds of years from now, or even thousands of years from now, not necessarily. ”

"Let's see what the people sitting on here think!" Xiao Shuyue smiled lightly.
