Ye Tao, Min Yue, and Peng Detian came out of Xunfeng Pavilion together, and it was already a little late. And Min Yue and Peng Detian were a little reluctant to let go of Ye Tao for being so partial to the princess, but being so favored by the princess, and they looked like they had to figure it out.

"Let's go, go to Nongcui Building, and figure this out while drinking." Touching his belly, which had begun to rumble, Min Yue said boldly.

“…… Lord Min, Ye Tao is also here, are you still going to Nongcui Building? Peng Detian said. The food in the Nongcui building is indeed very distinctive, but taking a child to a brothel to drink and eat? Could it be a little too much?

"The garden of Nongcui Building was made by Ye Tao, and he has been there a lot more than me." Min Yue said nonchalantly, so decided. "Let Ye Tao treat you today, and actually make this kind of thing."

Ye Tao said dissatisfiedly: "Lord Min, what is this matter?" I didn't know it was Princess Zhaohua. ”

"It's because you don't know that it's Princess Zhaohua that you look at your color and ignore your friends. I know it's a princess, but there's no way. Although they are polite in front of the princess, in fact, Min Yue and Ye Tao have a very good relationship in private, and they are often invited to eat and drink together. If there's something new, share it with each other often.

The boss of Nongcuilou is obviously also familiar with this kind of battle that is purely here to eat and has no interest in the girl, and this is also the only place where this kind of thing happens in a dozen brothels in Yicheng, large and small, it is difficult to say whether the boss is proud or laughing.

After setting out a table of dishes, Min Yue drank one cup first, and said, "Ye Tao, tell me about it, it's full of calculations, has Princess Zhaohua known you for a long time?" What about you? I know Miss Zhuo for an hour and let her go to your workshop, what is the reason? ”

Ye Tao said embarrassedly: "I talked to the princess about the tricks of Yi Zhanlou before, and they talked very well. I talked about it by the way, and the princess said that she wanted to go and see it, so I casually agreed. ”

Min Yue smiled, carefully looked at the cup in his hand, and said, "The white head is as new, and the lid is as old as ever...... The white head is as good as new, and the lid is the same as before......" Another cup was drunk, Min Yue said: "Originally, I was worried that you would expand the Ye family's business to Beijing, my Min family would not be able to shelter you, and you would be beaten by those rabbit cubs all day long, but now, Princess Zhaohua is stronger than anything else." ”

"Even if it's a princess, these things are not easy to manage, right? The pool in the capital is so deep, Princess Zhaohua's words are so effective? Ye Tao said strangely.

Min Yue looked at Ye Tao and said, "I'm afraid, Princess Zhaohua's words are more effective than the words of the crown prince." Min Yue's assertion surprised Peng Detian. Min Yue asked rhetorically: "Ye Tao, how much do you know about Princess Zhaohua?" Let's hear it, what do you know? ”

Ye Tao lowered his head and thought about it, and then said: "Other small things may not be true or false, but the two things are so widely spread, I don't think about it." One is that three years ago, the lord of the country was assassinated, and Princess Zhaohua used her body to block the assassin's palm for her younger brother and the current crown prince, saving her younger brother, but since then she has been sick and haunted Mian. The other is that the princess hates the corrupt Confucianism who speaks loudly, and she angrily takes away more than a dozen Confucians invited by the lord of the country. ”

Min Yue nodded and said, "Those big Confucians don't know anything except what they say, and if they don't get angry with one or two, even if they are the princess's subordinates." As for the princess's illness, it didn't start 3 years ago. Princess Zhaohua has been in poor health since she was a child, and she has always had to use a lot of medicine to recuperate her body, but she still often gets sick. was assassinated 3 years ago, and it was not a slap, but a palm force, otherwise, with the princess's physique, it would never be spared. But this courage to sacrifice himself to save his brother is true. But these are just qualities. The reason why the princess spoke effectively was because of her talents, and what she could do now. ”

"Oh?" Ye Tao was said to be interested, and asked playfully: "The princess is only 14 years old?" ”

"Aren't you only 14 years old, what kind of garlic are you pretending?" Min Yue glanced at Ye Tao and said, "Do you know what the princess is in charge of now?" ”

"I don't know!" Ye Tao replied simply. If he knew the answer to this kind of question, he would be ghostly.

"The princess has been in full charge of the royal currency since two years ago. All the purchase costs in the palace, the construction and repair of the palace, and even the expenses of the guards of the forbidden army all have to go through her hands. And the entire harem, the queen has long been gone. Now in charge of the harem of the lord of the country, it is Princess Zhaohua. ”

"What?!" This kind of thing sounded like a fantasy, and Peng Detian almost jumped up.

"At first, I also thought it was incredible, until some things were gradually revealed by the lord of the country, and he was amazed by this daughter, and everyone gradually believed it. This princess is not simple. The lord of the country often sighs that if Princess Zhaohua is a healthy man, she will become a generation of heroes. Min Yue shook his head and sighed.

Such an evaluation is even more incredible than saying that Princess Zhaohua is in charge of the internal currency and the harem. But Ye Tao was silent, pretending to be so surprised that he couldn't speak. He believes, really believes. Talent and knowledge need to be cultivated by time, and the princess from the same era as him obviously has sufficient qualifications. And she has also shown her talents in various ways.

"I'll tell you something," Min Yue said with another glass and slammed his glass on the table. "That should be the first time the princess showed her financial skills. You should know that although our country is rich and the expenses in the palace have always been very generous, for the princes and princesses, the expenses are very strict. About four years ago, the lord of the kingdom summoned the princes and princesses and asked them about their usual expenses, and asked them to tell them how much money they still had. As a result, Princess Zhaohua calculated in front of the king for a long time, saying that she had a property of 40,000 taels and 2,300 taels of silver in cash. At that time, the lord of the kingdom was shocked. According to Princess Zhaohua's monthly silver, from the time she was 3 years old to the time she was 10 years old, all the money added up was only 11,000 taels. The lord of the kingdom asked where her money came from. The princess said that she did not have any other hobbies, except that she liked to read, write, and play the piano. Reading books, the large inner collection of tens of thousands of volumes, like to write, the cost is just paper, ink, pen and inkstone, on the side of the study in the small treasury piles of piles, just afraid that these princes and princesses will not use, play the piano? It is just a quiet room and a few volumes of sheet music. The usual money is not used. When she was seven years old, there was a guard whose family wanted to do business but had no capital, and when she knew about it, she took out her deposit and lent it to the guard. After three months, the merchant made a huge profit, such as a contract to return the loan. Counting the interest, she made a profit of 3%. Although she can't use her money, it doesn't hurt to be able to do more, and she feels that she is richer in business, so she simply bought an inn by herself, which is now the most luxurious and comfortable Hongyun Building in Beijing. Of course, it was put down in someone else's name, and the identity of the royal family was not revealed. After a little rectification, after setting a more detailed statement, the annual profit of Hongyun Building alone has tens of thousands of taels, and it is more appropriate to calculate the value of Hongyun Building according to 3 times of the annual profit. Since then, the princess has also successively bought a car and horse shop and a ready-to-wear store, although the profit is not so rich, but it is definitely not a loss. By the time the princess is 10 years old, the 40,000 taels of property may still be much less said by the princess herself. ”

Min Yue sighed: "The lord of the country was also extremely surprised at that time, and after sending the guards and the account office to verify, he also felt that the princess was really unique in managing financial management, so he simply handed her 100,000 taels of capital. A year later, before the assassination of the ruler, it had doubled. Not only that, but the princess has set up various rules for the property she is involved in, which is detailed and thorough, which shows the princess's talent. If it weren't for the assassination that left the princess in bed for almost half a year, I'm afraid the princess would have been in charge of the internal currency at that time. As for being in charge of the harem, although there is no clear rule, nominally the queen is still in charge, but the officials in Beijing have long known who is more useful to speak. ”
