The couple hadn't seen each other for a few days, so they naturally had to talk to each other.

By the time the two of them got up, it was already dark.

Yao Huang asked people to set the meal, and Chang Runzhi called her to whisper a few words to explain the food, clothing, and accommodation of King Rui.

"Don't let too many people know about Lord Rui's affairs in the mansion. Do not spread the news. Chang Runzhi said: "The people who are serving over there, you have to explain clearly." ”

Yao Huang nodded yes.

Liu Tong looked at Chang Runzhi with a smile and said, "Fifth brother, that person is not informal, it's not that he hasn't stopped here with me, so he doesn't need to pay attention to everything." ”

Chang Runzhi paused, looked at Liu Tong and said, "Didn't I think about it, Rui Wang's leg was injured?" ”

Chang Runzhi gave Liu Tong vegetables and asked him softly: "Is King Rui seriously injured?" How long will it take? I don't think he can walk. ”

Liu Tong said: "Let the bruising doctor take a look, saying that he sprained his tendons, the situation is a little serious, and it is estimated that he will have to raise it for a month." ”

Chang Runzhi thought for a while and said, "It just so happens that King Rui has finished an errand, and he can also use this matter as an excuse to rest for a while." ”

Liu Tong responded, and also gave Chang Runzhi a chopstick dish, and said with a smile: "I'm tired in the afternoon, eat more." ”

Chang Runzhi's face turned red, and he couldn't help glaring at Liu Tong.

After eating, Chang Runzhi talked to Liu Tong in detail about the affairs of the prince's mansion after he left.

Liu Tong listened dispensably, not too concerned.

Chang Runzhi saw it, so he also finished talking about these situations in a few sentences, and then took the initiative to mention another thing.

"Before, we said that to help the people of the Western Regions, we have to change our methods. In the past few days, you are not here, but I have thought of two ways to do it when I am idle. Chang Runzhi leaned over the pillow behind him and casually threw out this sentence.

Sure enough, Liu Tong's attention suddenly shifted to what she said, and his eyes looked at Chang Runzhi with sparkling eyes.

Chang Runzhi but smiled silently.

Liu Tong was stunned for a moment before reacting, smiled and reached out and pinched her nose: "Bold woman, what crime should you be guilty of taking Qiao in front of your husband?" ”

Chang Runzhi snorted and said, "If you want to ask me for sin, then this method will never come out of my mouth." ”

"Okay, you're the best." Liu Tong immediately disarmed and surrendered, grabbed Chang Runzhi, and kissed her fiercely on the face: "Tell me quickly, what is the method?" ”

After a few jokes, Chang Runzhi also got serious and said to Liu Tong: "In previous years, you helped the people of the Western Regions, and you were in the Western Regions and the capital, you gave the silver to Shantang on the capital side, and you gave the silver to Ma Ge on the Western Regions side, right?" ”

Liu Tong bowed his head, and Chang Runzhi said: "Shantang has you staring at it, even if there are any small operations in it, it won't be too much to think about." But over there in the Western Regions, you gave the money, as if they didn't know that you were secretly helping them, right? ”

Liu Tong scratched his head and did not deny it.

"I helped them out of my own thoughts, and I didn't expect them to repay me anything, and of course I wouldn't tell them in a big way that I was secretly helping the people of the Western Regions."

Chang Runzhi heard Liu Tong's words, and sighed secretly in his heart.

If it were her, there would be absolutely no such great love.

"They don't know that it's the silver you gave, but they're afraid, but the money hasn't been implemented." Chang Runzhi asked Liu Tong: "Have you ever asked, how did the money you gave was used?" ”

Liu Tong was very serious on his face, and asked Chang Runzhi: "Do you want to ask, will Ma Ge embezzle the silver I gave?" ”

Chang Runzhi nodded.

"Maga is our priest, the one who speaks to us on behalf of Avesta. The trust and worship of the congregation in Makuda is beyond your imagination. Just talk about it in front of me, but not in front of others. Liu Tong told Chang Run.

Seeing that he was serious, Chang Runzhi couldn't help but bow his head.

Liu Tong answered Chang Runzhi's question.

"It's so far away in the Western Regions, and I only have two or three people there. Whether Ma Ge will embezzle the money I gave, I can't know. ”

Chang Runzhi nodded and said, "Forget it, since you want to change the way you support the people of the Western Regions, it is useless to find out whether the money you gave in previous years is useful." ”

Liu Tong nodded and asked Chang Runzhi: "What method do you think?" ”

Chang Runzhi: "The first method is for the Western Regions. Since we want to teach people to fish, we must find a way to provide them with the opportunity to work. I think we can let your people, with the principal, recruit the people of the Western Regions to form a caravan between the capital and the Western Regions, and buy and sell to do business. ”

"Doing business?" Liu Tong frowned.

Chang Runzhi bowed his head and said: "You said before that you have also done business, but because all the businesses in the capital that come to make money have forces behind them, they can't interfere at all, so they gave up later." But such a thing as forming a caravan does not involve the forces behind it, after all, the caravan is focused on the Western Regions. With you as the nominal prince, the caravan can run more smoothly. If we can benefit from it, it will also benefit us, and wouldn't that be the best of both worlds? ”

Chang Runzhi doesn't have much desire for money, but he can't stand Liu Tong's ability to help the people of the Western Regions is a money-burning master. Helpless, she could only find a way to save more money. If she can really form a caravan that can make money as she wishes, Chang Runzhi thinks it is a win-win situation.

Liu Tong thought thoughtfully: "If you form a caravan and travel between the capital and the Western Regions...... What to buy and sell, but you have to think carefully. ”

"It is customary to buy local specialties that are common in the Western Regions, but rare in the capital, and are not very valuable in the local area, and then sell them in the capital. It's the same in the capital. The distance between the Western Regions and the capital is relatively long, and you can buy some items as goods in moderation on the way. In general, except for a slight risk on the road, the caravan should not lose money. ”

Liu Tong nodded, kept this method in mind, and asked Chang Runzhi what another method was.

"The first method is aimed at the Western Regions, and the two methods are naturally aimed at the capital." Chang Runzhi smiled and said, "The appearance of the people of the Western Regions is different from that of the Central Plains, and this can be understood at a glance." There are opera troupes everywhere in Dawei, why don't the people of the Western Regions also form a troupe? ”

Liu Tong was stunned when he heard this, and immediately cried and laughed: "You let the people of the Western Regions wear costumes and sing?" ”

"Why not?" Chang Runzhi smiled and said: "There is a song and dance division in the capital, and I heard that half of the song and dance division is from the Western Regions. The people of the Western Regions can sing and dance, and their personalities are enthusiastic and unrestrained, and the Hu Xuan Dance came from the Western Regions. Since the people of the Western Regions themselves have such advantages, why not let them show them? If you can't sing, dance, and music, they will. ”

"You mean, to bring them together in the form of a troupe, but to do the work of the cabaret?"

Chang Runzhi nodded: "The song and dance division is only for the entertainment of the powerful and the royal family, and the people should also have their way of entertainment." (To be continued.) )
