Chapter 442: Visiting the Warbler
Since this commercial department is a new thing, many people don't even know what it's for. Actually, this thing is just a prototype, but it doesn't have much effect. To put it bluntly, the rise of this department only stems from the original brick-burning incident, and its main role is to coordinate and implement the system related to brick-burning.
In the past, the reason why many people were so blushing at this new department, in fact, was that they fancy the huge profits brought by the new thing of red bricks, and to put it more bluntly, that is, this is a fat and oily fat shortage, and the red eyes and scramble are all for money. As for the rest, it's not much to look forward to.
Later, when the dust settled, everyone looked hopeless, and the idea of making a fortune was lost, and the so-called Ministry of Commerce completely faded out of people's sight. Except for the merchants who bought and sold the brick factory, no one paid attention to this department at all.
At the beginning, this matter was taken care of by Li Chengqian. Due to the emergence of the department, things are also extremely monotonous, there are very few personnel, and after the dust settles, there are fewer people who pay attention to it, and no one cares. In the end, if it weren't for Li Chengqian, the prince, who was presiding, there would not even be an office location.
However, due to the small number of personnel and not many things, Li Chengqian is too lazy to run, besides, this matter is closely related to the royal income, and in the end, after seeking Li Shimin's consent, Li Chengqian, this guy, actually directly got the Ministry of Commerce next door to the East Palace. For this purpose, a small palace was set aside as an office location.
But. For this reason, Li Chengqian did not praise himself for his wisdom, why? Of course, this kid was not interested after a few days, and then he invited Cui Yingying to be a shopkeeper. At first, he was really worried that Li Feng would not agree to come when he came back, and when the time came, he would have to find a reason for himself, at least, Cui Yingying was here. Won't be wronged, no. Eat. It's all from the palace, it's not bad.
Still, it's clear. He didn't use this trick at all. Li Feng didn't say anything about this at all. On the contrary, he supported Cui Yingying very much to come out to do things.
"Ah...... How did you find this place, come, sit down. I'll pour you a glass of water......"
Seeing Li Feng appear in front of her, Cui Yingying was very surprised and excited, you know, this is the first time Li Feng has come to her office. So, she immediately stood up, gave up her seat to Li Feng, and then began to pour water for Li Feng, she knew that on weekdays, Li Feng didn't like to drink tea or anything, so he poured cold water directly.
"Okay, don't be busy, I'm just coming to see you, by the way, look at where you work, it seems to be good, it's comfortable, it seems that the kid is quite good, otherwise, I have to give him some good fruit to eat." Yes, yes, it's just that this person is a little less, right? ”
Seeing Cui Yingying's excited appearance, Li Feng felt a little guilty in his heart. For the woman in front of him, his concern for her is indeed a little less. Actually, speaking of which, it's not that Li Feng really doesn't want to care about Cui Yingying's affairs, it's just that he doesn't want to get involved in these things, and if he is not careful, he will have to trap himself in. When the time comes, it will be the way of Li Laoer.
However, looking at the house in front of him, which was not like an office at all, but like a home, Li Feng nodded with satisfaction in his heart. However, what surprised him was that there were no staff here, but a large number of maids waiting on the side.
"This is all specially taken care of by His Royal Highness the Prince, and as for the relevant personnel, they are rarely here. Our department has its own branches in various places, and as you know, our work here is different from other places, and we have to run around in order to do a good job of supervision. It's just that every month, the person in charge of the relevant branch will rush back to report the situation in various places, and then everyone will discuss countermeasures and handling opinions together. Normally, there isn't much to be done here, except for a few people who specialize in managing clerical work."
Although Li Feng said that he didn't have to be busy, Cui Yingying still handed Li Feng a glass of water, and then did not sit down, but stood next to Li Feng and explained to Li Feng.
"Well, indeed, you can't stay in the house all the time to make this work, I think this must be your own solution. By the way, there is one thing I want to tell you, I have heard about the Turkic people's coming to the peace talks, right? ”
Li Feng didn't have any opinions to express about Cui Yingying's work, so he said a few words casually and didn't ask much, but then he remembered another thing, which was related to Cui Yingying's work, so he turned his head to her and asked.
"I know a little bit, but I don't know the specific content of the discussion, and I didn't ask His Royal Highness the Prince. What's wrong? Can such a big thing still have anything to do with me? ”
Regarding Li Feng's question, Cui Yingying felt very strange, where could she know about this kind of thing. However, since Li Feng talked to her, it was obvious that this matter must have some connection with her, otherwise, with her understanding of Li Feng, he would not be bored to chat with him about this kind of thing, so he opened his mouth to ask.
"Well, there is indeed some relationship, and the most important thing for the Turks to come to negotiate this time is to cooperate with Datang to establish a large trading market at the junction of the two countries. It is conceivable that the Silk Road will become even busier at that time. Of course, this is not the point, the point is that the Emperor intends to entrust this market, and another very important work arising from it, to the Ministry of Commerce."
Although the matter of the peace talks has not been completely decided, it is already the best thing to do, so Li Feng decided to tell Cui Yingying about it first, so as to hear her thoughts.
"Ah...... It's true...... Great, you don't know, this commercial department always has nothing to do on weekdays, bored to death, I was going to quit it, find something else to do, but I didn't expect ......"
After hearing Li Feng's words, Cui Yingying did not have the slightest suspicion, and immediately became excited. In fact, like Rou Niang, she belongs to the type that can't be idle and needs to have something to do, the difference is that Rou Niang likes to do small things, while Cui Yingying has a soft spot for such big things.
Now in the Ministry of Commerce, there are so few things, and she has been put in order by three or two clicks. But in this way, she also became idle, which made her feel very uncomfortable. If she hadn't been worried about something, she would have wanted to leave a long time ago.
"Well, since you are so interested in this, I will tell you more about it. In fact, the trade market is not the key thing, the most critical part is a thing that arises from it, tariffs? ”
Seeing Cui Yingying's expression like this, where could Li Feng not know her thoughts. In this regard, Li Feng didn't feel anything bad, everyone has their own favorite things, and the same is true for work. You can't always like to be like you and have nothing to do.
Similarly, Li Feng is also very supportive of Cui Yingying's approach. For women, Li Feng likes them to have independence rather than being an accessory. Obviously, having your own job and your own income is the most fundamental and essential thing to maintain independence. If you even have to rely on others for food, clothing, shelter and transportation, try to ask, how can this waist pole be stiffened, and talk about anything else in such a situation, it is nonsense.
A woman with an independent personality and independent thoughts is the woman Li Feng admires the most.
In other words, life is in the world, **ten unsatisfactory. In order to survive and live, many times, people often grit their teeth, hold their breath and endure it, doing things they don't like, and it is not easy to find something they like to do.
To love someone is to give her happiness, to give her happiness, that is to give her what she wants.
"Tariffs? What is this? Why have you never heard of it, Brother Li, tell me quickly, what the hell is going on, okay? ”
Cui Yingying has never doubted Li Feng's support for herself, this is also what moved her the most, and it is also the place that made her so determined to follow Li Feng. At this moment, however, she is paying more attention to the word "tariff". Not only because I have never heard of it, but also because Li Feng introduced it so carefully.
Seeing Cui Yingying's eager look, Li Feng could only explain to her in detail what he knew, what kind of thing this tariff was.
"You have to think about this matter yourself, think about it carefully, this is not a child's play, and there must be a lot of difficulties in it. Not only because it is a new thing, but more importantly, it affects the interests of many people. Don't worry too much, though, I'll be on your side no matter what, as long as you want to do it."
After explaining, Li Feng said to Cui Yingying again and very cautiously. He is only responsible for explaining many things, and will definitely not help her make any decisions. He felt that the only thing he could do was to support.
After listening to Li Feng's words, Cui Yingying was surprisingly didn't say anything, just looked at Li Feng with affectionate eyes, and then squeezed her whole body into Li Feng's arms very well-behaved. Seeing this, Li Feng didn't speak, and gently hugged the jade man in his arms with both hands.
Many times, it is at this time that silence is better than sound, and everything is silent.
It didn't take long for Li Feng to leave directly, riding a horse and galloping in the direction of the craftsman village. Being away from home for more than half a month really made him feel like an arrow in his heart.
Speaking of which, he still likes the kind of life in the craftsman village. In his words, the simpler this life, the better...... (To be continued)
