Chapter 198: The Merchant's Calculation
In the eyes of Emperor Jing Xuan, this son has always been possessive, and he rarely helps anyone, but yesterday he not only helped the woman, but today he helped Qin Qianyu in the main hall, and he was a little satisfied in his heart.
This emperor has never been the most ruthless one, and the human touch is always indispensable.
Qin Qianyu took a step forward and saluted and stood firm.
"Father, this flood problem is just two solutions, one is to move the water to the north, but this method is indeed a little time-consuming, but at the same time it can solve the drought problem in the north, and the other is to dig earth and build dams, we can dig a few dams in the flooded places, so that the excess water can also be stored."
"It's basically the rainy season in the Yinnan area, so it's best to build some dams to store floodwater."
I have to say that thanks to Xin Zhi mentioning this to her more at that time, he thought about the situation in the Yin Nan area again, so he thought of this.
Emperor Jing Xuan's eyes lit up, this is a good way, but no one thought of it.
"But what's the use of this flood storage?" Some ministers don't understand, no matter how much water there is, it won't be of much use.
Hearing such a question, Qin Qianyu hooked the corners of her lips, "Lord Xu, although there is a lot of rain in this Yin Nan, there will always be a shortage of rain, and isn't it also excellent to divert floods and irrigate at that time?" ”
Everyone suddenly woke up to the fact that there were so many benefits of feeling this flood storage.
"Good! Then this matter will be handed over to Qian Yu to deal with, and if there is nothing to do, he will retire today. ”
"The old minister has something to report." An old man with a beard stood out of the ranks, still holding a fold in his hand.
"Speak."
"The old minister went to Dongling to deal with official business before, there are hungry people everywhere here, and the living environment is difficult, if it goes on like this for a long time, next time, I am afraid that it will cause turmoil in the capital, and there may be an outbreak of plague at that time, and this matter is still determined by His Majesty."
Emperor Jing Xuan was stunned for a moment, Dongling?
"Didn't Dongling just transfer the public grain last month? What's going on with this, who will tell me about it? ”
He looked around at the people standing below, scrutinizing the crowd.
Bai Wuning sighed, "Eighty percent of them are people who have deducted public grain, if it weren't for the old minister who came there unintentionally, I'm afraid that I won't know about it until the turmoil in the future." ”
Since ancient times, the turmoil of the hungry people is the saddest. They are just poor and poor people who can't eat, but if they are not killed, the capital will surely fall into chaos.
"This is to be investigated by the prince in advance to find out who is doing it."
waved his hand, and asked a few more words if there was anything to play, and after making sure that there was none, he went straight down.
After the next dynasty, Qin Qianyu also left with everyone.
"Second brother, don't be in such a hurry." Qin Shuyu didn't know when he appeared behind him, and suddenly stopped him.
"Brother Huang really misunderstood me, Madame is still waiting for me at home to accompany her to see the shop, no, I'm in a hurry to leave for a while."
Qin Qianyu said with a smile, the two of them gave people different feelings.
Qin Shuyu feels like he is the kind of scheming, while Qin Qianyu has a gentle face, as if he has no thoughts, in fact, he is the blackest one in the end.
"Really?" Qin Shuyu smiled faintly, but the smile was not as good as his eyes.
"What's the matter, Brother Huang?" He raised his eyes to look over, his gaze was neither humble nor arrogant, and even had a little more coldness to contend with it.
"What can there be in this palace, I just want to remind you, don't even be able to protect the people around you, if I didn't make a move before, what do you think is the chance that my father will forgive her?"
Although he didn't say it, Qin Qianyu also knew that it was almost zero.
"I've thanked the imperial brother for this matter, but no matter what, Xinzhi is my wife, so I still don't bother the imperial brother."
"But, did you give her a safe place?"
One sentence successfully made Qin Qianyu stunned, but he didn't get angry, he just turned his head and smiled coldly, "So when the imperial brother bullied Xin Zhi back then, did he give her stability?" ”
Qin Shuyu was stunned, she didn't expect her to tell Qin Qianyu about this.
"If the royal brother continues to play with me, I will naturally accompany him, if he is not interested, then we don't have to continue to pretend."
After saying that, he strode out of the palace.
In this game, Qin Qianyu won.
At the same time, Zhou Xinzhi was sitting in the main hall of the Du family enjoying the delicious food.
"Don't say it, your chef is really good." After taking a bite of the pastry, I touched my belly with satisfaction.
"I said, didn't you come here today just to eat my pastries?"
Du Jiu took a sip of tea, since he returned to the capital, there have been more and more strange things around him, he always has nightmares at night, and even dreams of the monk at that time from time to time, and has been asking him to protect Fengxing.
What is Ke Fengxing? The other party didn't say a word.
"Of course not, I'm here today mainly for two things." Zhou Xinzhi sat up straight, "First thing, I know that your Du family is not standing with anyone now, so today I want to win over your Du family to my husband's side." ”
Speaking of this, she really saw Du Jiu stunned for a moment, as if she was embarrassed.
"You don't have to answer me now, you think about it for a few more days, and tell me your answer when the time comes, as for the second thing, I want to open a shop in the capital, or fairy soup, so I still have to ask you for more help in this matter."
Du Jiu nodded, "The first thing I need to discuss with the master family before giving you an answer, you also know the situation of my family, I can't be the master alone, as for the second thing, it's easy to do, the Du family has an idle shop in the city, and I will hand it over to you to take care of when the time comes, and you can hand over twenty percent of the profits at that time." ”
Zhou Xinzhi looked at the man in front of her, and couldn't help but say, this businessman is calculating.
However, this capital is expensive, and this is indeed more suitable.
"Deal."
This matter was settled, and Zhou Xinzhi made an appointment with him to go over to see the shop tomorrow.
After the discussion, she was about to go back to the house, and when she was leaving, something suddenly occurred to her.
"Your Du family in this capital can be regarded as a task with a head and a face, and when the time comes, please help me find a few women who are willing to endure hardships." Now that she is missing Yuanqin and a few of them, everything has to start again, although the problem of the shop is solved, but the decoration will take a while.
Stepping out of the Du Mansion, Zhou Xinzhi took the maidservants in the mansion to walk around.
"If you want me to say that I'm not a noble person, you don't have to follow me all day long." She looked at the somewhat thin Qiaocui beside her with some distress.
If this little body tosses with her for a few days, will it be bearable?
"This is not good, madam, this is the order of His Highness himself, saying that you must follow a person wherever you go, so that no one is there when you need manpower, don't look at the slave and maid to look thin, but you can have strength."
As if she was afraid that Zhou Xinzhi would not believe it, she quickly explained.
"Okay, okay, I didn't say that I wouldn't let you follow, but I was afraid that your body wouldn't be able to bear it."
Taking advantage of the fact that there was nothing to do today, she took Qiaocui to walk around the city, from ready-to-wear stores to roadside stalls, and then to jade shops, Zhou Xinzhi really walked around the capital for the first time, and the whole person felt very strange.
"Qiaocui, do you think this looks good?"
She used to be just a peasant woman, and she didn't need these luxurious and beautiful jewelry.
But now that there is an occasion to use, she wants to put some thought into it.
"Madame is really beautiful to wear." Qiaocui's eyes were full of amazement.
Although her wife is not a shocking appearance at a glance, her skin is fair and smooth, but she is very attractive, so that people can't help but peek at it.
Compared to the prime minister's daughter, to be honest, she really wants to stand with her wife.
"Then it's better to pick this one."
Zhou Xinzhi blushed and held the hairpin in her hand, thinking that Qin Qianyu would also look good when she saw it.
"Yo, isn't this the servant girl next to the second prince? Tut-tut, I'm embarrassed to visit the ancient jade building with this identity. Xu Wanshi's annoying voice sounded from behind her.
She didn't have a good impression of the woman in front of her, and her brother Yu actually gave the most intimate flute to this woman.
How do you like her to come? glanced at Zhou Xinzhi, and returned to Sun Chunru's side with a cold snort.
"How can my sister say that, there are people here, even if it is imitation, it is just Dong Shi Xiaofeng, this good jade, if it is placed on the ordinary lady of the family, it is a beautiful decoration, but if this person is not suitable, this jade will drop in price."
Sun Chunru said coldly, it seemed that he was holding his temperament like before, but he just wanted to pretend in front of Qin Qianyu.
Zhou Xinzhi ignored these two people, and pulled Qiaocui to leave.
But these two people seized the opportunity where they might let her leave, and reached out to stop her figure who was leaving.
"This is leaving? I said, these people don't have such a good life, and they still want to fly on the branches, it's really shameful. ”
Xu Wanshi was also spoiled by her family, and she liked Qin Shuyu wholeheartedly, so she really wanted to tear Zhou Xinzhi apart at this moment.
In her opinion, this woman is not only hooking up with the second prince, but also hanging His Royal Highness the Prince.
Looking at the two aggressive girls in front of her, Zhou Xinzhi obviously ran out of patience.
"In my opinion, there is nothing too special about this young lady of the family, not to mention whether I am in the way of you, it is just such a daylight to stop me, isn't it not like everyone is doing it?"
Before the two of them could choke, she continued, "What do you say is the difference between you and me, it's just that you have a rich and powerful father, what else is special about you?" looks like a fairy, or the skin is as white as clotted fat, it is clear that there are no these, but you have to make a superior posture. ”
"You said that there are so many nobles in this imperial city, why haven't I seen someone like you, who is proud of the etiquette?" That last thing was what she really wanted to say.
In her opinion, these two noble ladies and Zhang Juhua's mother and daughter are no different from those who don't understand the rules.
No matter how nice it sounds, it's just two spoiled young ladies, and there's nothing tricky in her eyes.
