The emperor slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, but his eyes were still spinning on Mu Wenran's body.

"Since Miss Mu has spoken today, I also have something I want to discuss with you."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Mu Wenran faced the emperor respectfully, and this attitude made the emperor very satisfied.

"I wonder if the fourth prince has ever told you about the war with the barbarians in front of you, and the problem of tight military salaries?"

"The four princes will talk to me about civil matters, but the four princes have never mentioned such important matters in the army, and what the emperor said is that the front-line military salary is insufficient?"

Mu Wenran immediately cleared Jing Anyao, and couldn't help sneering in his heart.

This emperor really wants to be beautiful, it is already very good that she can agree to donate to the disaster in southern Fujian, and now she is still counting on her to donate the military salary on the front line?

It's better to confiscate all her income.

"Well, it's exactly this matter, I don't know what Miss Mu thinks?" The emperor was also dry, his eyes were fixed on Mu Wenran, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart.

It seems that he is the emperor and sits on the world, but Mu Wenran has an excellent reputation in the capital at this time, and has more or less connections with many large businessmen and courtiers.

If you use means to suppress, this motive is too obvious, and it will inevitably fall into discouragement, and it will not be good if you lose people's hearts.

But if he can't get the money from Muwenran, the treasury will really be emptied, and the increase in taxes will only make the people more dissatisfied with him.

I hope Mu Wenran can agree, just like the queen, then it's easy to say.

"The people's daughter is naturally willing to share the emperor's worries and contribute to the country, but I also ask the emperor to understand, the people's daughter has only been operating in this capital for a short time, and this time she can come up with so much money and almost empty her family's funds."

Mu Wenran paused in embarrassment, his face tangled, and his hands stirred the corners of his sleeves.

"Making money is about the long stream, but during this time, the people were helpless in the capital and were suppressed by many forces, even the emperor once ...... Therefore, if the emperor needs the people's daughters to donate military salaries, he really needs to wait for a while. ”

"You have a lot of silver every day in the account books of your shop, so can't you take out some of it anymore?"

"Your Majesty, it's not that the people don't want to take it, I charge expensive, I naturally have the reason that I charge expensive, our raw materials are not cheap, naturally we can't sell them cheaply, and the profit is actually very small, of course, the people and the emperor said this, it's really an axe, I don't think the emperor also understands the hardships of being a businessman."

Mu Wenran simply broke it up, tore it open, and talked to the emperor.

"Just the wages of the workers in the women's shop, as well as the money for the materials used in the construction of this building, are mostly owed in advance, and the operation of this shop needs to be invested every day, and this large amount of silver can be invested in order to have a little income, and the Huixiang Pavilion I opened, although it is an elegant place, does not mean that I can make huge profits from it."

Mu Wenran spoke dryly, but the emperor listened very seriously.

He has always been involved in and studied the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics related to politics, and when it comes to the businessman's business, he seems a little clumsy.

"Well, I know what you mean, don't worry, as long as you are willing to be loyal to me, I will do my best to protect you." The emperor's words finally gave Mu Wenran's heart a little comfort.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thanks to the emperor's timely reaction and promise, she finally did not speak in vain.

"I want you to come to relieve my worries, and I can't let you go back empty-handed." The emperor looked at Mu Wenran, who was about to get up and leave, sighed for a moment, got up and shouted to the door.

"Grandpa Zhang."

"Your Majesty, the minions are here!"

When Gonggong Zhang heard this, he hurriedly walked over from the door with small steps and knelt in front of the emperor.

"What does the emperor command?"

"Take Miss Mu to the jewelry room in the treasury to pick out a few pieces of jewelry you like, although the treasury lacks serious silver, but there is never a shortage of these rare antiques, Miss Mu can take it."

Exotic curios? Mu Wenran couldn't help but be interested when she heard this, if the emperor rewarded her with gold, silver, jewelry, etc., she really couldn't lift her spirits, but this rare antique was interesting.

Mu Wenran did not refuse, and after agreeing, he followed Gonggong Zhang to the warehouse.

The moment Grandpa Zhang opened the door of the warehouse, Mu Wenran almost felt that his eyes were about to be shook, and it was a pity that a piece of golden or crystal clear jewelry was lying in the cold warehouse one by one.

"Miss Mu, the emperor really values you, this treasury picks a reward at will, except for the deceased founding general, no one has won this honor." Because the last time when the general was selected, Gonggong Zhang was still a nameless little eunuch, so naturally he didn't have the opportunity to see such a spectacular scene.

Now even with the city government, he can't walk a little when he looks at the treasury.

"Since Grandpa Zhang likes it, let's also pick a few treasures."

"Ouch, Miss Mu's intentions, the slave understands it, but these are all given to you by the emperor, and the slave doesn't dare to take it."

No matter how stupid Father-in-law Zhang is, he can see it, Mu Wenran doesn't know why he is the most polite one among all the masters.

As the saying goes, if you ask for something, you must greet people with a smile, from the beginning, he was wondering, I don't know if this Mu Wenran is asking him, but today, I haven't seen Mu Wenran ask him for help, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Father-in-law Zhang, I am a layman, so I naturally know that most of you are helpless to be eunuchs, and I also understand what you need." Mu Wenran turned his back to Father-in-law Zhang, carefully selected the jewelry on the ground, and said such a sentence when Father-in-law Zhang was stunned, and he was suddenly stunned when he heard it, and smiled awkwardly for a long time.

"Miss Mu, is this talking, the old slave doesn't understand."

"If you don't understand, forget it, Gonggong Zhang, in the future, please mention more about the emperor's affairs, you may not have heard of my master's medical skills, but I can guarantee that in the future, you can have a son and a half daughter to pass on the family for you."

A son and a half daughter inherit the lineage! Gonggong Zhang was stunned suddenly, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, like five thunderbolts, and his mouth grew up.

"You...... What did you say? A son and a half daughter! I'm already a eunuch, how can I get a son and a half daughter, and I ask Miss Mu for advice. ”

"Don't worry, you will know about this matter in a short time, this is the palace, it is inconvenient to speak, how about inviting your father-in-law to go back to the Xiang Pavilion to sit in the incense pavilion another day in the future?"

Father-in-law Zhang, who was already excited at this time, didn't know where to put the dust in his hands, nodded vigorously, and said in a loud voice.
