After night fell completely, in the theater, I saw a singer dancing on the stage, and the melodious singing echoed in my ears.

Under the stage, there are many long tables, on which all kinds of wine and delicacies are placed, and many sons of generals are silently appreciating, and Anuz left in a hurry after giving gifts in person because of Yuan Ming's arrival.

But what is strange is that Yuan Ming and Yuan Cao are not among them, in a luxurious inner room of the theater, Yuan Ming and Yuan Cao sit together, Shangguan Wan'er and a man with an ordinary face stand on either side of their master

"Big brother, I originally thought that you were busy with official business and would not come," Yuan Cao, who was in the lower position, said gratefully to Yuan Ming in the main position.

Yuan Cao's birthday is divided into two parts, in the morning is the royal family children gather in her mansion, and in the evening invite friends to the theater to listen to music, and in the morning, Yuan Ming did not come.

Yuan Ming smiled slightly and said: "The third sister's birthday, why didn't the eldest brother come, but you also know that if the eldest brother goes in the morning, the younger brothers and sisters will definitely be restrained, and it is more appropriate to come at night."

"The eldest brother is empathetic, and the younger sister admires," Yuan Cao smiled.

"Third sister, you are rich in the world, since the invention of all kinds of gambling, you seize the opportunity, just the father gave you the name of the gambling city of Chaoyang, let you enter 10 million baht every year, all kinds of treasures you are countless, the eldest brother in the morning The jade watermelon is too ordinary, what do you want, just say it" Yuan Ming said softly, Yuan Cao invited him to the inner room, then there must be something to ask for.

Yuan Cao's eyes moved, and he said with a smile: "Big brother, although the assets of the little sister are not as good as the Zhen family, they will not be used up in a few lifetimes, if the eldest brother loves his sister, give the little sister a fief!" ”

Yuan Ming frowned, and said: "Third sister, you should know very well that although my father canonized all the kings, none of them have fiefdoms, and they don't have brothers."

"My father is wise, and I hope that the descendants of my Yuan family will work their own, but my sister is a woman, and she can't go to the court or enter the ministries, so she needs the help of her eldest brother," Yuan Cao said.

"Let's talk about it," Yuan Ming said curiously

"The eldest brother's first staff Zhou Budo is the champion of the martial arts for eight years, a world-shattering talent, and now he is in charge of the officials under the Shangshu stage, controlling Daxi to employ a lot of power, the power is only under Prime Minister Zhuge , it is promoted by the father and the emperor himself, the younger sister doesn't want anything else, just give the middle platform to the younger sister" Yuan Cao said softly.

"You want Zhongtai" Yuan Ming said with some surprise, Zhongtai Mansion was originally known as Yizhou, Yuan Xi personally changed its name to Zhongtai, it is an island overseas in Jiangdong, although it is also the size of a county, but the population is too small, even if it has immigrated, it is still less than 130,000, far less than other state capitals.

"Yes, although the business of the casino is very prosperous, and it has made a lot of contributions to the treasury, but gambling is harmful, and there have been a lot of troubles, Governor Zhang has already played Shangshutai, expressing dissatisfaction, so Xiaomei decided to move the casino overseas, my Dayan's warship, the civilian ship for offshore navigation, has been very mature, go overseas, no one will say anything" Yuan Cao smiled.

The corners of Yuan Ming's mouth raised, and said: "Third sister, although Governor Zhang is in the book, with your father's favor for you, it shouldn't be a problem, the casino moved to Zhongtai, it seems to avoid the wind and waves, but the business is estimated to be much less, third sister, you also want to develop in the four seas."

"Big brother, you have ambitions, you want to control the Western Regions, even Guishuang, the little sister doesn't dare to fight, it's very satisfying to have a middle platform" Yuan Cao's tone suddenly turned to the side, and suddenly became coquettish.

And Yuan Ming shook his head, and suddenly picked up the fruit on the table and looked at it carefully.

When Yuan Cao saw this scene, he was immediately a little angry, and after gritting his teeth, he said: "Big brother, as long as this matter can be done, all the income of the casino, except for those handed over to the treasury, the little sister will give you thirty percent."

When Yuan Ming heard this, he still didn't speak, as if there was some strange existence in that fruit.

Yuan Cao frowned and said, "Forty percent, no more, otherwise the little sister will lose"

"Haha" Yuan Ming suddenly laughed loudly, and said: "Third sister, you won't lose sixty percent, with your ability and financial resources, Zhongtai will inevitably become my Daxi's treasure island, I should go down to this matter eldest brother, and you think that my brother doesn't know, you have also seen the emperor's universal map, there are countless resources on the sea, if it weren't for my Daxi's warship not being able to sail far, the eldest brother would have done it a long time ago."

"So, the eldest brother agreed," Yuan Cao said excitedly.

"Things can be tried, but one thing to make clear, the person you want to promote, you must have real talent and real learning, my father has educated us before, no matter what the situation is, people who are not talented are harming my royal family, and you don't want to report the general second-class people, lest your father take back Zhongtai again, after all, although Zhongtai is small, it is also given by his father himself" Yuan Ming said solemnly.

"Big brother rest assured, my sister attaches more importance to it than anyone else, presumably Sima Shi's talent is enough to serve it," Yuan Cao said in a low voice.

Yuan Ming was taken aback, took a closer look at Yuan Cao, and sighed: "The third sister is really powerful, she actually pulled the Sima family here, Sima Shaoqing can have extremely strict family rules, except for his father's orders, he ignores anyone"

"It's just luck," Yuan Cao smiled mysteriously.

"Okay, Sima Shi is the eldest son of Sima Shaoqing, a Jinshi who has been in the martial arts for eight years, he has learned five cars, he is genuine, he has done very well in the Ministry of Industry, he should indeed be promoted, this matter will be answered to you within three days for my brother" Yuan Ming promised.

"Brother Xie" Yuan Cao immediately stood up and gave a salute.

"Haha, okay, let's watch the play" Yuan Ming smiled and took the lead to walk outside.

When Yuan Ming went out. Shangguan Wan'er came to Yuan Cao's side and frowned: "Princess, the loss of forty percent seems to be too great."

"It's okay, as long as Sima Shi can go to sea, the palace will definitely be able to earn it back one by one, what is the money, the foundation is the most important, my father got Youzhou back then, is it not the so-called desolate land?" Yuan Cao said confidently.

"The princess is wiser than the heavens, but it's a pity that it's the daughter," Shangguan Wan'er sighed.

"What's wrong with my daughter, there is no place for this palace in this vast world, so this palace will go overseas to find it," Yuan Cao announced with a domineering gaze.

"Wan'er will definitely follow the princess to the death" Hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er immediately revered.

Yuan Cao smiled slightly and said: "Those talents we have secretly gathered have all moved to Zhongtai, and the palace will completely change Zhongtai Mansion within two years."

"No!"

"By the way, the day after tomorrow, the father and the emperor will worship the Zhonglie Pavilion, and after each worship, the father will test the martial arts of the sons in the holy martial arts field in the Zhonglie Pavilion, and the winners will be rewarded heavily, so as to show that my Daxi will never give up the determination to fight, are you ready for the sword that the palace asked you to prepare?" Yuan Cao suddenly cared.

"The princess is relieved, the slave maid has found countless craftsmen, although it is not as good as the craftsmen of the Tiangong Divine Academy, but after eight months of hard work, she has finally forged a peerless sword, which will definitely make the princess show her power in the martial arts" Shangguan Wan'er said immediately.

"Okay, I don't think about winning the palace, but as long as my father is satisfied with the palace, it is a great hardship, and my father's love is everything, and there is no room for the slightest mistake" Yuan Cao said seriously.

"The slave understands"
