"Husband, what would you do if the saint gave you a beauty?" After Jin'er finished speaking, she snuggled up to Xiao Zheng and said.

"Well, it's easy to do, according to the regulations of the Ministry of Rites, I am the prince of the country, and one wife, two wives and four concubines can still drop," Xiao Zheng said proudly.

"You dare! If you really accept it, I won't go to the saint to quarrel and drink vinegar, but I have been very familiar with the scalpel these days, and although I haven't disemboweled, I can still cut a piece of meat from you! ”

Jin'er slowly slid her hand to Xiao Zheng's abdomen, which frightened Xiao Zheng's heart for a while.

You stinky mother-in-law, you can't murder your husband, and make Lao Tzu a eunuch.

As soon as I entered the door the next day, I heard Du Ruhui shouting something, and there was a lot of anger in his tone: "No, my Ministry of Civil Affairs will never give out this money, if this money is used for spring plowing or water conservancy, if it is not good, it will be used for armaments, and now I want to take it out to do this, I will not agree, even if the saint dismisses my Shangshu."

As soon as he pushed the door and entered the house, he found that Du Ruhui was walking back and forth in the house with an angry face, and Ji Chun was standing next to him, looking at him with small eyes and a chrysanthemum on his face, and he didn't speak.

"Alas, Ji Ye, I haven't seen you for a long time, it looks like I've made a fortune with a red face," Xiao Zheng arched his hand with a smile after seeing Ji Chun and said.

"I've seen my grandfather, thanks to you, I'm doing okay" Ji Chun also smiled and replied.

"Lao Du, what are you yelling in the morning, Ji Ye is now the head of the house, so if you don't come back, you have to give people a face to sit down and get some tea."

"What?! Lao Tzu, this is shouting for you! Who do you think I'm for, look at it! Du Ruhui said and handed a holy decree to Xiao Zheng.

After reading it, Xiao Zheng was also anxious, pointed at Ji Chunchong outside and shouted: "Come on, send this uncle out, hurry up and send the guests!" ”。

When I opened the holy decree, it turned out that Li Shimin released most of the palace maids out of the palace in order to save and reduce the cost of the harem. It's a good thing, you let it go, saying that it is not easy to serve in the palace for many years, and each person will be given 30 acres of land and 20 yuan.

It doesn't matter if it's a field, Datang now has wasteland, and reclamation is. However, this amount of money is not a small amount, 3,000 people and 60,000 yuan, and the cost is allocated from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Although it is from the royal yellow treasury, it is also the money in the treasury, and the two of them know how much money is in it, no wonder Du Ruhui is so angry. Li Shimin and his family are worry-free, but what is the matter with you throwing such a big burden out and letting the Ministry of Civil Affairs pay so much money.

Walked over and grabbed Ji Chun and gritted his teeth and asked, "Say, is it your old guy's idea for the saint?"

Ji Chun was not angry at all, and said happily: "Impossible, the slave is a subordinate, how can she be qualified to stand up for the master."

After finishing speaking, he sat on the chair and smiled and never spoke again, watching the two of them toss, and when the two of them stopped, he said to Xiao Zheng slowly: "The sage said, if these three thousand palace maids can't be placed, they will be sent to Yuguo Gong's house" After speaking, he left.

"My day, it's about Lao Tzu's shit, no wonder Li Shimin wants to send palace maids out every day, this is obviously to reduce pressure and divert traffic, how to give it to others is retail, and when I come here, it is packaged and wholesaled!" ，

After hearing this, Du Ruhui laughed out loud very unrighteously, "Haha, Yuguo Gong, this matter has nothing to do with Zaixia, but don't worry, I won't give any of this money, and I won't kill you."

"Lao Du, it's boring for you to do this, I got so much money back, you can't be so unkind, you can't forget your roots."

"I just can't get out! Don't talk about drinking vinegar, the sage really let me drink the poison, and I won't pay the money", Du Ruhui didn't speak anymore, it seemed that he had really become an iron rooster.

After thinking for a while, he said to Du Ruhui: "Old Du, do you think these palace maids who came out will be given by the saints, ah?" ”

"What do you think, as long as it is recorded in the palace of the women who have been favored by the saint in the palace, it will not be released, and I don't understand anything," Du Ruhui said disdainfully.

I can't do it, more than 3,000 palace maids, this is a big living person, if I don't get it right, I will smash it in my hands, think about how many can be arranged in the restaurant, it is still too few for so many people.

"Lao Du, if you don't want a few, let's divide it."

"Come less, don't! The one in Fang Xiang's family who dares to drink vinegar, and the one in my family who dares to pick up a stick" Lao Du is also afraid of his wife.

"Then why don't you want it?".

"My family's one doesn't drink vinegar, the other doesn't pick up sticks, my family's dare to use a knife, if I don't get it, I'll learn Ji Chun to enter the palace."

"Haha......"

When I arrived at Yingtai Pavilion in the evening, Du Yi waited at the door with two other Hu merchants early, and entered the private room on the second floor. However, looking at a few Hu merchants dressed in jeweled belts, it was a little out of place.

After listening to Du Yiti's introduction, I learned that they were all business partners with Du Yiti. As soon as the liquor was served, the three guys seemed to have heard the name of the wine for a long time, and after a few glasses, they drank comfortably one by one as if they were smoking a big cigarette, and they were full of praise for the taste of the wine.

"How's your business going?" After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Zheng asked with a smile.

"Grandpa Guo, thanks to you, the villain's first batch of medicine was sold out when it arrived in the Tang Regions and Tuhun and Turkic in the Western Regions, in fact, the villain has always wanted to invite you to dinner, but there are too many people in line in the room of this Yingzhou Pavilion, and the villain waited for a month before it was his turn, but the villain made a lot of money by cooperating with you, and it was worth waiting" The guy said with a smug look on his face.

"No, this spring has just arrived in the Western Regions, how can you buy these medicines" Xiao Zheng was a little curious.

"I'll tell the nobles about another use of this medicine, and then tell them that the golden balm with the elixir is the supreme product," the guy said with a lewd smile.

When I asked, I knew that this guy dared to take the panacea as an aphrodisiac and sell it, the Hu people had a heavy body taste, and Ren Dan was in his mouth on the one hand to refresh his mind, and on the other hand, he did dissolve the peculiar smell in the mouth, and it was normal for these Hu people to flock to it. Looking at this guy's excitement drinking, he should have made a lot of money.

"Then when I came out of the Tang Dynasty, could I make it difficult for you?" Xiao Zheng asked.

"No, no, no, I don't hide from you that in the past, when the villains went out of the customs, they would pay them a little money to make peace, they saw that you gave us the customs documents very polite, they were just curious about how we got the documents issued by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of War at the same time, and the other colleagues were very envious when they saw me" Du Yiti said that he was very proud at this time.

"That's okay, come to me if you have any difficulties in Chang'an City or shipping in the future."

Du Yiti was very moved when he heard Xiao Zheng say this, he knew Xiao Zheng's status in the court, so he was tantamount to having a powerful backstage, so he picked up his wine glass and toasted Xiao Zheng a few times.

The two Hu businessmen next to him looked a little anxious, and they looked at the envoy of Duyi, Xiao Zheng knew that there was something wrong with these two people, so he simply picked it up and asked directly, and he was a little drunk before he told the truth.

It turned out that one was named Ahed, who transported spices from Persia or Anxi to the Tang Dynasty, and then sold the porcelain back. The other is called Samai, who transported wine from the Western Regions to Datang and then silk back, both of whom were Hu merchants who had been doing business in Datang for a long time.

They were very envious when they saw that Du Yiti got the right to sell Xiao Zheng's exclusive medicinal materials and then received the tax exemption in his pocket. This time, they found Du Yiti, just to use this banquet to find Xiao Zheng to seek any opportunities for cooperation in business, and more importantly, taking Xiao Zheng's line will undoubtedly have a relationship with the imperial power, and this relationship is beneficial and harmless. Don't say it's Hu Shang, it's just that Han businessmen like Wu Shitong want to take this path, not to mention such a good opportunity in front of a few of them Hu Shang.

It turned out to be looking for a business opportunity, I see.

Xiao Zheng smiled and said to the two: "Two, let's not talk about silk and porcelain, it's not that these two businesses are not good, but they are promising, but instead of talking about another business now, can the two of you be familiar with Gao Changguo?" ”。
