Xue Ying's words shocked Xi Xi for a while before he came back to his senses: "You realized that there was something wrong with the queen long before Qiaoya?"

Xue Ying shrugged: "It's just a suspicion." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"This suspicion is shocking enough. The queen's gentleness and purity are known to the world, and there has always been only one who dislikes her for not being ruthless enough and not being like a queen enough, such a person, do you think she has hidden ambitions and plans?

"It's not the kind of manipulation of common sense, but subtle psychological suggestion, similar to hypnosis. ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's a bit hard to explain. In short, some of the emperor's ideas and behaviors were influenced by the queen, but he himself was not aware of it. ”

"I remember that the emperor wanted to kill the hidden king before, and it was the queen who interceded to hide the king and survived. According to you, if the queen really has bad intentions, then what is her purpose in saving the king?"

"I don't know about that. And now I don't have any evidence that the queen is the kind of person I guessed, everything is just speculation. ”

"Past experience has taught me that nine times out of ten your guesses are correct. "Xi Xi was nerve-wracking, "I never thought that the queen would stand behind Murong Jing, in her previous life, until Murong Jing ascended the throne and became the emperor, she never revealed anything wrong, and she hid it too deeply." What's even more terrifying, according to what you said, the queen is not the real queen behind the scenes, and there are still people behind her and Murong Jing who will be?"

"Don't worry, eat one bite at a time. The first thing we need to do now is to find out the true face of some people first, so as not to accidentally suffer a dark loss in the future. ”

"Are you really going to use yourself as bait? Beware of the turtle that has become the active drill urn. ”

"I'm helpless. Xue Ying sighed, "Originally, I planned to hide behind and live a quiet life, but some people insisted on going up, which made me unhappy." ”

Xi Xi was puzzled, someone knocked at the door, and Qiaoya's voice came: "Miss, the post sent by the eldest princess." ”

Seeing that Xue Ying covered her face and didn't say anything or move, Xi Xi opened the door and took the post and glanced at it, and raised her voice: "Na Zheng?"

Hearing this, even Qiaoya was startled: "What is the levy?"

"The eldest princess said that she would ask the queen to call the shots and supervise the Luo family's gifts, and the time was set on the sixteenth day of the first month. Now the post is to let Xue Ying go over to discuss the details. ”

Qiao Ya said: "Doesn't it mean that my young lady will get married within a month or two?"

How can there be no warning of such a big event?

"How old am I, what a devastating young girl. Xue Ying muttered, got up and took a few glances, and looked at Xi Xi, "Now you know why I'm suddenly in a hurry, right? I don't have my parents to support me, and the marriage is all controlled by others, and I don't have any autonomy at all." ”

"But why did they suddenly take action?"

"Because somebody has finally come back and given them advice. Xue Ying snorted, "I haven't done it yet, I came to the door myself." If you don't make two moves with him, I'm sorry for his gift. ”

Qiao Ya looked at Xi Xi blankly: "Miss, is this too stimulated, crazy?"

Xi Xi nodded and said with a sad face: "It seems to be." ”

………………

Since the beginning of the dynasty, Dagu has formulated a series of measures to encourage businesses to open their doors during the Spring Festival to promote consumption. So now the bustling crowd on the streets of Anjing City is not only going out to pay New Year's greetings, but also many people are going out to shop, and everyone's face is happy, and no one notices the turbulent undercurrent.

"Since the 'mutiny' of the Dai Pavilion Lord was killed and the Chuyue Pavilion suffered a heavy blow, they no longer have the ability to trouble the Bandung Firm, so the Bandung Firm has begun to take root and develop in Anjing City again. However, due to the damage caused by the sudden closure of a large number of shops in the past, if they want to recover before the last year, they need more support to carry out bigger actions, which is probably why the Bandung Commercial Bank frequently delivers posts to officials and wealthy merchants in Anjing City during this time. ”

"When did the post for me start?" asked Murong Jing.

"You started when you were still in your new homeland. ”

"Well-informed, they're pretty well-informed. Although the news of his visit to Xinshu has now slowly spread, it was still confidential at the time, and the Bandung Comptoir not only heard the news, but also very radically began to send posts to him who had not yet made a name for himself, and from this point of view alone, this Bandung Comptoir far surpassed other peers.

Murong Jing asked: "The Bandung Commercial Bank is strong, and its forces have infiltrated the Dagu Siye, and we haven't tried to win it over before?"

"This ......" the staff secretly glanced at Xue Yao.

Xue Yao replied: "I tried once, but the other party was very arrogant and had no intention of cooperating at all." So I ordered several of my comptoirs to flank it and teach it a hard lesson. I remember that later reports clearly said that the Bandung Trading Company had been seriously damaged and had been forced to move to remote areas, so it was left alone. When did it come back again?"

Murong Jing sighed: "A business house with deep roots and thick leaves like Wanlong, if you can't cut the grass and eradicate the roots at one time, it will easily resurge. Far from being devastated by your attack, it has opened up another path to develop more prosperously, and this opponent should not be underestimated. Unfortunately, you missed out on a great opportunity. ”

Xue Yao was not convinced: "The strength of the few commercial houses under my command is not as strong as Wanlong, do you need to be afraid of it?" Besides, what is the use of its good development, it has no troops in hand, and in the end it is just a fattened sheep for us to slaughter." ”

Murong Jing had no intention of arguing with her on this issue, and asked her staff: "Tell me, what did Wan Long rely on to survive from a pinch?"

"There are four main aspects, which can be summed up as: wasteland, Gobi, desert and sea. "All of them are unpopular that ordinary people would never think of.

"Oh?" Murong Jing became interested, "Tell me about it?"

"First, Bandung secretly bought a large amount of wasteland that could not grow food at a very low price, and planted some drought-tolerant, drought-tolerant, and alkali-tolerant crops from overseas and the Western Regions, which were strange in appearance but proved to be edible. Because of the low price and easy planting, after several years of promotion, it has now been recognized by most of the people at the bottom and has fed many hungry people. ”

Murong Jing squinted slightly: "For such an important matter, why didn't I receive any news before?"

"The government has always been strict in the management of cultivated land, and in the event of a large-scale annexation, it must be reported to the imperial court. But the trade in wasteland is unrestricted and regulated, so the matter went unnoticed. ”
