Chapter 19: The Workshop

A penny is difficult to defeat a hero, and Jing Zetian also deeply understands this mood at this moment.

As the prince of a country, it is unbelievable that he can't even take out twenty taels of silver.

Jing Zetian looked at the blue sky, and the depression in his heart gradually dissipated a lot.

"Little Zhuozi, did you tell them who I am?" Jing Zetian asked, Xiao Zhuozi is a eunuch, and ordinary people can see it at a glance.

"That's not true, although they also asked, but the slave maid didn't get instructions from His Highness and didn't dare to tell them." Xiao Zhuozi respectfully returned to the road.

Jing Zetian hugged his arms, one of his hands rubbed his chin that had not yet grown a beard, this was a habit when he was thinking about problems, and Xiao Zhuozi was also very clear, so he stood quietly aside, for fear of disturbing his master's train of thought.

"By the way, I forgot what I said, do you know why the two of them sold these two workshops?" Jing Zetian suddenly stopped thinking and hurriedly asked.

"This slave knows that Shopkeeper Huang is losing money in business and can't compete anymore, Shopkeeper Zhang is because the army of the Youth League, stationed in Qingquan County during the time, caught and killed his carpenter, resulting in him not being able to operate normally now, and the main energy of Shopkeeper Zhang is no longer on this wood workshop, so he wants to make a move." Xiao Zhuozi explained in detail.

Jing Zetian listened to Xiao Zhuozi's words, and his brain was also running rapidly.

Initially, he planned to buy two workshops on his own, hire a few workers to build the furniture he invented, and then make a fortune. But he didn't expect that now a workshop costs twenty taels of silver, and he hasn't saved any money over the years, all of which is used to build things.

Jing Zetian kept turning back and forth in place, and the weeds next to him also followed the wind, and the tips of the grass were also drawing circles, synchronized with Jing Zetianshen.

"In this way, you go and make an appointment with the two shopkeepers, see you tomorrow in Qingfeng Tower in Hua'an City, and tell him the identity of this prince directly when the time comes. Don't bully others, be polite, people in the province don't dare to do business with us. Jing Zetian thought about it and said, it is better for him to come forward in person in this matter, he now has a new idea, he wants to try it tomorrow, and secretly wants to report his identity, this matter should be easy to solve. As for using power to suppress people and forcibly seize them, this kind of thing is Jing Zetian's least favorite, we are crossing personnel, and we can't do this kind of thing that loses our identity.

"This slave is awake, and the people of our Zhengyang Palace are still very obedient to the rules under the guidance of His Highness." Xiao Zhuozi also patted his ass.

"But Your Highness, isn't Qingfeng Building our mother's maiden property? And the steward of the capital is still your Royal Highness's uncle. Xiao Zhuozi said uncertainly, just now he said that he wanted to avoid suspicion, why did he go directly to other people's places to discuss business, which made Xiao Zhuozi very puzzled.

Jing Zetian looked at Xiao Zhuozi with a smile, and then said: "Aren't we short of money, I don't believe it, when I go to my uncle's restaurant to eat, he will ask this prince for money." After Jing Zetian finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Zhuozi with your stupid eyes.

。。。。。。 "Hehe, His Highness still has brains, why didn't I think of it." Xiao Zhuozi said cooperatively, but he felt a little uncomfortable, his own prince even had to rub his relatives for a meal, which made him feel very sorry for his master as a slave.

"Well, even if we know, we don't ask them to help with things, the mother concubine won't mind if she knows, okay, you work hard again, take care of this matter well, you go to Qingfeng Building today, go directly to my uncle, book a good room, tomorrow you can't see these businessmen find out that we are short of money, you know? I would like to remind you in particular, when you go to find those two businessmen, you must say that we are not short of money, okay, let's go. Jing Zetian immediately ordered, because there was a way to deal with the matter, and he was not as depressed as he was just now.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the slave will never lose His Highness's people, the slave will go now." Xiao Zhuozi expressed his attitude to Jing Zetian with a serious face, and then trotted out of the palace all the way.

After Xiao Zhuozi left, Jing Zetian no longer stayed, he was woken up by Xiao Zhuozi who returned early in the morning, and then he came out directly to discuss the matter of the workshop, it is not too early, I have to go back and prepare quickly, and Concubine Zhen's entrance ceremony to the temple is about to start.

Under the clear blue sky, the golden glazed tile roof of the palace looks particularly brilliant. The red gate fence, stacked and heavy corridors, Jing Zetian strode back towards Zhengyang Palace.

"Concubine Zhen, I didn't expect you to dress up like this, and even the most beautiful flowers would be eclipsed in front of you."

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Zhengyang Palace, Jing Zetian heard someone talking inside, which was uncommon in the regular Zhengyang Palace. Curious, Jing Zetian walked in with a voice.

Wearing a cloud fei makeup satin woven colorful flowers and flying butterfly brocade dress, covered with a red and yellow dark flower cloud brocade skirt, covered with a Su embroidered moon brocade shirt, the black hair is simply combed with a hanging cloud bun tassel bun, the red jade phoenix hairpin flashes with a mysterious red light, the bare hand wears a gold forged bracelet, the blue jewelry necklace is tightly attached to the thin neck, the silver moon hooked earrings sway between the ears, Sheng Xue's skin is only painted with a faint smoke, the brown and black thrush pen outlines the willow eyebrows to attract people's souls, and the thin red lips pull out a faint arc. This person is none other than Zhao Liwan, the queen of Dahuaguo.

The noble queen saw that Jing Zetian was back, and reproached with a smile: "Zetian is back, today is an important day for your mother, why are you still running around." ”

Jing Zetian saw the queen's expression, and knew that she was talking casually, so he said directly and obediently: "The son of the minister to see the queen mother, I don't know that the queen mother is coming today, otherwise the emperor will definitely wait in the palace." ”

"Hehe, Sister Zhen, you really gave birth to a good child, you can talk." Zhao Liwan praised with a smile.

"Where, my sister is also secretly learning from my sister." Concubine Zhen also said politely, but he did learn from the queen in educating his children, such as relatives, although the queen's maiden family is powerful, but the queen generally does not use her identity to seek benefits for her own maiden family.

"Okay, let's stop praising each other, this palace is mainly here to explain to my sister the precautions for you, and by the way, I will give you some gifts, after all, you have also been promoted to a noble lady, this palace as the master of the harem, you don't have to be polite, just accept it." Zhao Liwan said undeniably, as a queen for many years, no matter what she does or speaks, she has a majesty invisibly.

"Then thank you sister, Zetian, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and thank your queen mother." Concubine Zhen said kindly, and at the same time reminded Jing Zetian, who was standing on the side sleepwalking.

"Oh, thank you, Queen Mother." Jing Zetian also hurriedly expressed his gratitude. Just now he saw his mother dressed so beautifully, thinking about what clothes he would wear later, although he was not very old, but at the critical moment, he had to dress up handsomely, and strive to attract the butterflies around him to circle around him.

"Hehe, you kid, come to the palace more often in the future to play, your eldest brother is about to come back, you two brothers, I haven't seen you for a long time, you should be familiar with each other." The queen touched Jing Zetian's head and said softly.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, the eldest brother of the prince is still good to me, I haven't seen him for so long, and I really miss it in my heart." Jing Zetian said very naturally.

In Jing Kaige's harem, because of the existence of Zhao Liwan, the harem is very stable, although the prince is only in his twenties, but he has been the prince for so many years, and his current evaluation in the imperial court is also very good. On weekdays, he still takes good care of Jing Zetian's younger brothers and sisters, and now the prince is not very old, and Jing Kaige is also in the prime of life, so the struggle for the position of the crown prince is not obvious at present, which makes Jing Zetian, who has watched a lot of palace fighting dramas, very happy, so he also cherishes the current environment very much. If there is no battle for succession, he can concentrate on completing his great cause of changing this era, as for the throne, hehe, as a traverser, even if he is allowed to farm, he can also plant epoch-making land.
