Chapter 57

The stronger an organization is, the more the internal strife is hidden in the shadows, and the people of this non-nine-story building have been investigating for two days before giving Si Kouxi the most in-depth information they have ever explored. The prince's most relied on staff is Liao Yi, but he belongs to the kind of person who comes from behind, and the time he has been with the prince has lasted only a year, and the person Lan Xiao looks up to the most is Liao Bo earlier, but because Liao Yi can always give better advice and even let Lan Xiao get more attention from the emperor, he was promoted by the prince in a short time. Some people are favored, and some people are not favored, because Liao Bo is always discussed and ridiculed by others in private, so there are dog-eat-dog things between them, but they are harmless and have not harmed the interests of the prince.

Wuge said that if he wanted to find someone to start with, then Liao Bo was the most suitable object, he was forced to perform better beside the prince, and he hoped that he could regain the prince's support. Si Kouxi thought that this was indeed the case, she took a sip of tea and nodded in agreement, but she looked at Wuge thoughtfully, her eyes were still a little shining, Wuge was stared at by her and her scalp was numb, frowning and said, "You have something to say." Si Kouxi propped her chin and said in a serious tone, but she couldn't hide the cunning in her eyes, she said, "Liao Yi, Liao Bo? Why are these two people surnamed Liao, they can't be brothers, tsk! How can the prince make the two brothers compete for favor! ”

Wuge was speechless, now is the time to talk about this, and she hasn't figured out the rules of the prince's mansion, she really wants to pry open Si Kouxi's brain to see what she is thinking, she said helplessly: "The staff of the prince's mansion are all surnamed Liao, and they are named by the prince, which means that giving a new name is equivalent to a new beginning, and it has nothing to do with the past." Si Kouxi nodded after hearing this, but she thought it was funny how many people could completely cut off contact with the past and break away from the red dust and detach themselves from the world, she muttered: "Why didn't he shave their hair." Wuge naturally understood what Si Kouxi meant, and said with a smile: "The princess is cutting off the connection with the past, not asking for the six roots to be pure. ”

The crown prince did put a lot of effort into preserving his reputation, or affecting his reputation because of some misdeeds of his staff. When they arrived at the prince's mansion, their future behavior would naturally be restrained by the prince, but no one had restrained them before, and if someone turned over old accounts, it was indeed possible to be caught. A new name, a new identity, this person seems to have jumped out of a stone, and everything in the past is not easy to search.

Si Kouxi had to sigh at the prince's thoughts, but in Si Kouxi's opinion, a person who gave up his parents for fame was not worthy of being reused at all, and such people were also more likely to betray, because they had nothing to worry about, and only cared about fame and money. "How is the disaster relief progress of the second prince and the crown prince who asked you to check?" Qi Jia handed over the booklet in his hand and said: "The area where the prince is located has made remarkable progress in disaster relief, and many soup kitchens have been opened, and the people have praised him a little. Si Kouxi was a little worried when she heard this, she was worried that the second prince would make progress with the crown prince. Both of them were careful not to use tricks in the dark, she didn't think the second prince was so stupid.

It's not that stupid, but it's not smart. "The situation in the disaster area of the second prince is a little serious, and there is not much food left in the place itself, so he needs to go to other places to buy it. Our people came with the news that the soup kitchen of the second prince was mixed with brown rice and polished rice for alms. "Si Kouxi didn't expect these two princes to be able to use such a method, because most of the people are hungry and don't have a full meal to eat, now whether it's polished rice or brown rice, as long as there is something to eat, who cares, so no one reports." Yo, these two princes have become smarter, but how much can they save with the money that deducts rice? Wuge looked sarcastic. But that's the case, in fact, the money for deducting rice will not leave a lot of money, but it is better to save money as a prince, and this money will be saved.

"Actually, the second prince is not stupid." Si Kouxi showed a look at Wuge, don't belittle others like this. Qi Jia sighed, attracted the attention of the two of them, and teased: "I understand the truth that people are more popular than people." These two princes are not stupid, but he is too stupid to compare with the prince, you know, the prince tunyan. After hearing this, both of them were stunned, salt is a good thing. Si Kouxi gave Qi Jia a look to continue, "He bought all the salt back, and the salt in the warehouse is also consumed day by day, but the amount consumed is not quite right. He's salting. Qi Jia put his hand on Wuge's shoulder and said, "Is the second son still smart now?" Wuge suddenly said loudly: "Stupid to death!" The two of them looked at each other and immediately smiled heartily.

Si Kouxi's eyes showed a gleam, and he thought: Stupid or stupid, smart people are still smart. In the summer, people at the seashore can extract salt from the sea, but the process of turning it into something for human consumption is really complicated, especially in this winter, when the price of salt is rising, and he spends the money of the treasury to buy this batch of salt, and finally sells it, no matter how much it is sold, he will definitely make money. The special period does not allow you to find out whether the salt is made by a licensed merchant or smuggled in. It's really hard to check the salt, it's easier to consume than real money and even make excuses, the prince is a good move.

Qi Jia and Wuge laughed, but they also understood the difficulty of dealing with this matter now, and after the two laughed, they waited for Si Kouxi's fall. Qi Jia inquired and offered to check the location of the batch of salt, but Si Kouxi vetoed it, thinking that even if she found out, Lan Xiao would have a way to explain it, and this matter would not be a fatal blow to him. "You go and send someone to keep an eye on Lan Xi first, although he is not as smart as Lan Xiao, he is also a person who judges the situation, so don't take it lightly. As for Lan Xiao, I am more concerned about how he will trade that batch of salt than where the pile of salt is, it is impossible for him to bring the salt back to the imperial capital, he will definitely trade with others, we just need to know who he trades with. Si Kouxi thinks that there is only this method at the moment, Qi Jia and Wuge feel that it makes sense, and it makes no sense to propose any two.

Si Kouxi waved her hand and motioned for the two of them to go down to do something, she heard the sound of the door closing, she gently lowered her shoulders, she knew that she would encounter a problem, but she didn't expect that so soon, she would try her best to solve this problem, but the worst plan was that she might have to go to the snow-stricken land herself. She hoped that that day would not come, otherwise the situation in the Imperial City would not be easy for her to control.
