Chapter 356: Poverty and Illness
ps: Thank you for 358101087 and the family~
"Heal the people of the world?" Qingyun raised her eyebrows when she heard this, this sound very familiar, she smiled and said, "Second Young Master Jiang doesn't mean poor disease, right?" ”
Throughout the ages, there has been only one disease that everyone in the world has suffered, but there is only one poor disease.
Second Young Master Jiang was stunned, looked at Qingyun, and didn't take his eyes off for a long time.
Chu Bei stood aside, his brows furrowed, and he coughed, Second Young Master Jiang came back to his senses, his face turned red, and he hurriedly said to Qingyun, "The eldest princess's medical skills are so high, she can diagnose the disease with just one sentence, and she can enter the bone for three points, and the five bodies that Jiang admires are thrown to the ground." ”
Qingyun smiled and said, "Second Young Master Jiang thinks too highly of me, the disease of the people in the world is sick to the bone marrow, even if I am Hua Tuo alive, I am helpless." ”
Well, Qingyun's words, they all understand what they mean, she doesn't have the ability to treat the poor diseases of the world, but they are a little confused, who is Hua Tuo?
Chu Bei was used to it, because Qingyun often popped out of his mouth some names he had never heard of......
Last time, because Yan Ru Song Yu and her appearance were better than Pan An, he was still laughed at by Qingyun because he was cautious, so even if he was curious, he didn't plan to ask.
Chu Bei didn't ask, Second Young Master Jiang definitely wouldn't ask, he sighed lightly and said, "The weather this year is much hotter than in previous years, it hasn't rained for a long time, I went all the way to Beijing, and a lot of farmland has dried up and cracked, I'm afraid it will be ...... this year." ”
The Jiang family is a grain merchant for generations, and the Jiang family's attention to grain is no less than that of the imperial court.
The Jiang family still has a lot of grain reserves, and once there is a natural disaster**, or even a precursor, the Jiang family's grain sales will be tightened, not to mention that it will be difficult to make a fortune. But it won't be less.
Second Young Master Jiang was halfway through speaking, and then he paused.
Everyone is smart, and you don't have to say it so bluntly.
Qingyun was looking at Chu Bei, she knew that Second Young Master Jiang was showing his bargaining chips.
She didn't forget what Old Lady Jiang said, the imperial court will fight, and it will be fast.
In the event of a drought, it would be nice if the poor people did not starve to death. How did the imperial court collect the grain tax. What else to prop up the war?
The soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first!
Chu Bei smiled, he looked at Second Young Master Jiang and said, "It is said that there is no business and no treachery." Second Young Master Jiang is more worried about the country and the people than me, the prince. ”
Second Young Master Jiang was also laughing, "The eldest prince praised it falsely, these words are not about worrying about the country and the people." But it is my heartfelt words, my Jiang family has always had a great relationship with the imperial court. The court is in trouble, and my Jiang family is willing to destroy the family to relieve the difficulties. ”
Qingyun sat aside, she took tea and sipped lightly, listening to the second young master Jiang say that the family was ruined and relieved. The corners of her mouth were raised, and there was a smile in her clear eyes.
The Jiang family was able to assist Emperor Taizu in fighting the country, and the strength of the Jiang family is needless to say.
But. She remembered that the Jiang family seemed to be in charge of the second room now.
He, Second Young Master Jiang, couldn't make such a promise on behalf of the Jiang family.
He wanted Chu Bei to help him win the power of the Jiang family first, and he became the head of the Jiang family. She could fulfill her promise, but it was too tempting for her to resist, at least she couldn't resist it.
She looked at Chu Bei, she knew that Chu Bei couldn't resist.
I only listened to Chu Beidao, "It's too strict to destroy the family and relieve the difficulties, I don't need Second Young Master Jiang to make such a heavy promise to me, I can help you win the power of the Jiang family, I only need the Jiang family to donate one million quintals of grain unconditionally." ”
Chu Bei said that the wind was light, just like I just want you to give me a hundred copper plates, but it made Qingyun gasp.
Thanks to him saying that there are no businessmen or traitors, he is simply a bandit who takes advantage of the fire to rob!
In particular, the words are good, don't want the Jiang family to destroy their family and relieve the difficulties, just one million loads of grain.
With the wealth accumulated by the Jiang family, one million quintals of grain is naturally not a problem, but the problem is that once there is a real drought, even if there is money, it is not easy to gather one million quintals of grain.
There is one million quintals of grain given by the Jiang family, plus what the imperial court has, as long as it is not a protracted war, it should be enough.
However, Chu Bei opened his mouth so ruthlessly, I don't know if Second Young Master Jiang will agree.
Just thinking about it, I only heard Second Young Master Jiang say, "Okay, I agreed!" ”
It's crisp and crisp.
After Second Young Master Jiang left, Qingyun couldn't help but say, "Second Young Master Jiang is really worried about the country and the people...... ”
Hearing Qingyun say this, Chu Bei smiled and said nothing.
Wei Feng laughed out loud.
Qingyun looked at him, "What are you laughing at, am I not right?" ”
Wei Feng hurriedly shook his head, "The subordinates don't dare to laugh at the princess." ”
She also said that she didn't laugh when she was deaf.
She didn't ask, just looked at Wei Feng.
Wei Feng was afraid, and hurriedly said, "Second Young Master Jiang is abandoning the car to protect the handsome, the second master of the Jiang family has the Xingguo Mansion as a backer, and with his strength, he can't move the second master Jiang at all, one million quintals of grain is indeed a lot in the eyes of outsiders, so much that I dare not imagine, but for the Jiang family, which has been a grain merchant for generations, it can only be regarded as breaking two ribs, and it will be restored after two years of cultivation, and the Jiang family is self-aware, the Dajin Dynasty was established, and the Jiang family helped Emperor Taizu, is it not because of the war in the previous dynasty, the imperial court is short of food, and the idea of fighting the Jiang family is very clear, Once the imperial court needs food, what will be the consequences if the Jiang family does not stand up to help, the previous dynasty was internal and external troubles, the emperor was mediocre, the eunuchs were in power, and the people were not happy, so the Jiang family had a chance to fight, and now, there is no second Emperor Taizu to help the Jiang family. ”
After listening to Wei Feng's words, Qingyun said, "Although I am also a royal person, I still want to say something, it is really shameless." ”
Chu Bei, "....... ”
Wei Feng, "....... ”
Chu Bei was a little weak, he pinched the tip of Qingyun's nose and said, "You also know that you are a royal person, and you dare to say that?" ”
"I'm telling the truth, and besides, no outsiders are there," Qingyun said in a humming voice.
Chu Bei smiled helplessly, "The affairs of the court are not as simple as you think, the Jiang family is kind to my Xiao family, my Xiao family has always kept this matter in mind, for so many years, I have been taking care of the Jiang family, otherwise how could the court allow a merchant to open a grain shop all over the Dajin Dynasty?" But kindness is one thing, the court is another, the Jiang family has the power to support Emperor Taizu, so they have the ability to support another king, and those who have the intention of rebellion will contact the Jiang family. It is difficult to guarantee that the Jiang family will not be tempted one day, and it will be the people of the world who will be in turmoil at that time, and it will be the people of the world who will suffer. ”
"The Xiao family will not bear an ungrateful reputation and be scolded by the world, as long as the Jiang family is loyal and does not seek rebellion, the court will protect the glory and wealth of the Jiang family."
Qingyun nodded. expressed agreement with Chu Bei's words.
Chu Bei saw it. said, "Do you still say that the court is shameless?" ”
Qingyun's face was slightly red, and the dead duck's mouth was hard. "This is just your one-sided words, you have the ability, you said that the emperor didn't send someone to keep an eye on the Jiang family?"
Chu Bei, "....... ”
Seeing that Chu Bei didn't speak, Qingyun's voice was three points higher. "To ensure that the Jiang family is loyal, I am afraid that it will start with Emperor Taizu. Just buried my eyes in the Jiang family and stared at the Jiang family, if I was kind to anyone, who would still look at me like this. Suspicious of me, I pierced him into a hornet's nest every minute. ”
As he spoke, Qingyun glanced at Wei Feng. "I seem to be being watched all the time?" ”
Weifeng. “……。”
Master, you shouldn't provoke the eldest princess when she knows that she is wrong, isn't this nothing to do?
The corners of Chu Bei's mouth twitched, he was powerless to parry, so he could only ask Qing Yun rhetorically, "If you were Emperor Taizu, what would you do?" ”
In a word, he directly asked Qingyun.
She was bent on finding a better solution, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was really no other good way than to send someone to watch the Jiang family and ensure that the Jiang family was loyal.
It's just that seeing Chu Bei looking at her with a smile, Qingyun couldn't say what she thought in her heart, and she was unwilling to admit defeat, so she just said, "I can't think of any other way for a while, wait for me to think about it, and then sue you." ”
After speaking, he quickly changed the topic, "I'm back in the palace." ”
In this way, the two left the restaurant and rode back to the palace.
After entering the palace and walking halfway back to the dormitory, a father-in-law came over and asked An Dao, "The eldest prince, the emperor asked you to go to the imperial study." ”
Chu Bei went to the imperial study, and Qingyun went back to the dormitory.
After returning to the dormitory, the maid brought a bowl of chilled mung bean soup, and when she ate it into her stomach, the pores of the cool person were stretched.
Putting down the bowl, Qingyun instructed, "Find the steward of the imperial dining room, and say that I have something to find him." ”
Soon, my father-in-law brought in the steward of the imperial dining room.
Seeing Qingyun, the steward of the imperial dining room was trembling, there was no way, who let the imperial dining room marry into the palace in Qingyun, he made such a big stupidity, and it was also Qingyun generous, if he wanted to change to another concubine, the blockage added to her in the imperial dining room was enough for the imperial dining room to drink several pots, just because Qingyun did not pursue it, the emperor did not punish the imperial dining room, but when he saw Qingyun, he couldn't help but think of the two big jars of vinegar and soy sauce.
Forget it, don't even speak, "No, I don't know, Dao, Dao......." ”
Listening to the scar of the steward of the imperial dining room, Qingying couldn't help but be happy, and said, "Manager Ding, our princess is not the fierce and man-eating tiger, what are you so afraid of?" ”
Manager Ding was even more afraid, and hurriedly shook his head, "No, I don't dare to ......." ”
Qingyun couldn't help but laugh and said with a smile, "Manager Ding is still worried about sending me a big jar of vinegar and soy sauce in the imperial dining room last time, I didn't take that matter to heart, Manager Ding doesn't have to be nervous." ”
Chief Manager Ding breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "I don't know what happened when the eldest princess summoned the slaves?" ”
Qingyun said, "In a few days, the eldest prince and I will move out of the palace to live, to hold a housewarming banquet, I am worried about the banquet, Mr. Ding is well-informed, the palace banquet, what dishes are used, so please Mr. Ding help me with this." ”
Hearing Qingyun praise him for being well-informed, Manager Ding was a little fluttering, not that he boasted, he had been the head of the imperial dining room for ten years, and he had not lost face to the emperor and queen when the banquet was not good, the eldest princess asked him to help, that was to find the right person.
When it comes to dishes, Mr. Ding is gushing.
It's just that Qingyun is a little confused, the names of those dishes are fresh and refined, and she can't think of what kind of dishes they are from the names of the dishes.
Xue Mei Niang, the phoenix wears a golden dress, the belt goes to the court, and the green dragon lies in the snow......
If she wasn't stunned, there would be no one in the hall who wasn't stunned, and in the end, Manager Ding was also stunned.
He seems to have forgotten that not long after the eldest princess entered the palace, he had not eaten any of these dishes......
He coughed lightly and said, "This dish has to be tasted to know the taste, and the slave will prepare the menu when he goes back, and then make it and let people send it, and wait for the princess to taste it, and then decide." ”
In this way, Zhengzhong Qingyun was pregnant, and she smiled, "Then there is the manager of Laudin, and there are few chefs in the palace." It's not enough to take on the important task of the banquet, so I asked Manager Ding to help me find a few helpers, and I will be grateful for the good preparation of the banquet. ”
Manager Ding hurriedly responded.
The eldest princess said this to give him face, with her identity, she can talk to the emperor directly. The emperor will not disagree.
Of course. The emperor has every opportunity, and he has to find the emperor for such a trivial matter, and the emperor is estimated to be tired to death.
It's summer. If you want to ask Qingyun what she wants to eat the most, it is definitely lobster, and she told Mr. Ding to make lobster.
Then at dinner, Mr. Ding brought the "lobster".
The shrimp is huge. It's as big as a blue and white porcelain plate.
Manager Ding also euphemistically said that this prawn is a tribute. In such a hot weather, it was transported all the way from the sea, and this is the only one that survived.
Well, this one was originally intended to be made for the emperor to eat.
Now that Qingyun has been named. Then let's focus on the rhyme first.
Qingyun was very moved, but she wanted to say that this was not the crayfish she wanted!
But crayfish don't have it at all. In the previous life, crayfish appeared on the table for only a few decades. She didn't have to hope.
That big lobster, Qingyun dried it up alone, and she was full without eating.
As for the dishes, Manager Ding sent ten, and Qingyun ate some of them and picked three.
It's not that those dishes are not good, but they are too exquisite, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and the family brings their families to congratulate, there are too many people, if each dish is so exquisite, the kitchen can't greet it at all.
The next day, Mr. Ding sent 20 dishes.
In the evening, Qingyun set all the dishes.
The banquet is set, and it is the banquet venue.
On the third day, Qingyun greeted the queen early in the morning, went out of the palace to the palace, and returned to the palace in the evening.
Throughout the day, the banquet venue was barely arranged.
On the fourth day, Qingyun stayed at the pharmacy to work.
A few maids didn't know what she was busy with, and the magpie said, "The princess, Ming'er will hold a banquet, what medicine do you want to make, it's not too late to hold it after Ming'er's banquet." ”
Qingyun was busy with her work, and she didn't raise her head, "It's too late tomorrow." ”
Qingying and Magpie looked at each other, and Lu'er leaned her head and said, "If you wait for the Duke of Xingguo and the Queen Mother to lose Huzhou, the fiefdom of the eldest prince, it will be too late." ”
Qingying looked at Lu'er and said, "The emperor has made an order, and Huzhou is so good, how can Zhennanhou and Old Lady Jiang let Xingguo get their wish?" ”
Lu'er Nu said, "I think so too, but in the big kitchen, several chefs from the imperial dining room all said that the fiefdom of the eldest prince, Huzhou, could not be saved, because the queen mother did not agree to ......." ”
Qingying's eyes widened when she heard this, "You went to the big kitchen to steal food again?" ”
Lu'er instantly exploded, "That's not the point, the point is the fiefdom!" ”
Qingying doesn't know that the fief is more important, but is this something that they can manage as maids?
If the queen mother persecuts, the emperor changes his fiefdom, and even the emperor has nothing to do, and the eldest prince and the princess can't do anything!
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock at the door.
There was a crisp voice, "Sister Lu'er, the things you want are here." ”
Lu'er hurriedly opened the door and took a large plate from the maid's hand.
The magpie looked at her, then at the plate, and frowned, "What is this strange thing?" ”
Lu'er swallowed her saliva and said, "Food, yesterday the princess specially ordered the big kitchen to prepare, it seems to be delicious, I saw her swallow saliva, I just specially ordered the big kitchen to do it, I plan to tempt the princess, I don't believe there is anything delicious, she continues to be busy making medicines." ”
As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows, looking like I'm smart, you don't have to praise me.
The magpie raised her hand, poked her head and said, "Come on, I think it's your gluttony, and you got yourself food in the name of tempting the princess, by the way, how do you eat this thing?" ”
"I'll teach you," Lu'er hurriedly sat away with a plate.
The warblers and magpies gathered around.
A few maids ate it deliciously.
Qingyun looked over a few times, that fire is big, that's her favorite snail, these maids are really getting more and more excessive, and they don't take her as the master in their eyes more and more, with them like this, the master is busy with back pain, they just eat it, and they deliberately chirp, lest she not know?
"Go out to eat, and after eating, the three of you will wipe the inside and outside of the banquet hall for me!" (To be continued.) )
