Chapter 9: Stratagem

"Does the Lord mean to raise him?" The old man nodded slightly when he heard Ling Chen say this. In reply:

"It's okay, the minister's time is running out. The minister will hand over what he has learned all his life to the little boy, as long as the little boy can share the worries of the Lord, the minister will be satisfied. ”

"No, no, you're going to live a long life."

After listening to the old man's words, Ling Chen shook his head like a rattle. This was not because of anything else, but that this old man was Ling Chen's teacher and taught Ling Chen a lot of things. But later, because of the pressure of the three dukes, he had to surrender to the next level, and finally made this Shangshu. However, although he is not a scholar, he does not have much real power, which may be the saddest thing about Ling Chen.

"The minister has lived enough for this age, that's it, the lord and the minister will go to see the prince together, so as not to wait in a hurry."

The old man looked at Ling Chen's appearance and felt speechless, so he had to turn his attention to Jiang Huan. He went to the side hall with Ling Chen.

"Childe, that Tobe Shangshu won't be playing with us, right? Why haven't we come here after so long? ”

Jiang Huan sat on the deputy seat and drank tea leisurely, while listening to Qianying's complaints.

Although Jiang Huan is only fourteen or fifteen years old, he was born in the royal family after all. That calm and calm appearance really looks like an adult. There was a kind of nobility in every gesture, not to mention, even the tone of the speech was soft, and the tone was very gentle.

"Sit." Qianying was thinking about going out to see what the Tobe Shangshu was up to, and why he put the two of them in this side hall to dry. But as soon as Jiang Huan said this, he had to sit down reluctantly.

After a long time, Jiang Huan saw Na Shangshu and Ling Chen hurriedly walking in with a few maids and servants. Seeing Jiang Huan's master and servant, he arched his hand and said:

"This official accompanied his nephew and forgot the hour for a while, and asked the two sons to forgive me." Na Shang Shu pointed to Ling Chen on the side as he spoke. Ling Chen listened to what his teacher said, and twitched slightly for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. But who knew that his expression was seen by Jiang Huan. Jiang Huan didn't say anything, but listened to what Na Shangshu said.

"This nephew rarely comes here, so the official chatted with him a little selflessly. I forgot that the son is still waiting here, but it's not the official's. Come on, don't hurry up and prepare food. The Tobe Shangshu said guiltily.

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Huan smiled disappreciatively, obviously not taking this matter to heart.

"I don't know who the son is? What do you think about my country? ”

"His name is Jiang Huan, a native of Liangzhou, Yueguo. The family has been in business for generations, but due to a fire, the whole family died. At that time, I was studying abroad with my domestic servants, so I was spared. But it ruined the face, hence. Jiang Huan looked a little lonely when he said this, and Ling Chen on the side was so busy and comforted.

"Liangzhou?"

And when Shang Shu heard Jiang Huan say that he was from Liangzhou, he raised his head and looked at him carefully. He remembered that the prefect of Liangzhou had said that Liangzhou was poor, and asked King Yue to allocate 100,000 taels of silver every year. Now Jiang Huan's dress looks like that poor county. It was clearly swallowed by the prefect of Liangzhou.

Qianying on the side watched the expression on his master's face change and change, and secretly admired his master's messing skills. They made the book cry, and even he almost cried.

"Your Excellency, you don't have to be polite, you can just call me Ah Huan as Brother Ling."

Jiang Huan took a sip of tea, and then said:

"Although the country is richer than other countries, there are more poor people left behind than other countries. He felt that he should have set up a few porridge shops in the name of the royal family, and hired these poor people to go there. Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone? It can also solve the problem of the poor. ”

In fact, this Jiang Huan didn't know much about this Yue country, what he said was just what he saw on the road.
