"Boss, you, don't ...... like this" Kou Dong'er was very panicked, although the empress had already told her that sooner or later she would be Zhou An's person, this had already been arranged, and she couldn't hide from it...... I don't really want to hide.

However, Zhou An started so suddenly, Kou Dong'er was not psychologically prepared at all.

Moreover, Kou Dong'er understands very well that the empress asked her to accompany Zhou An to the bed, so that she can sleep with Zhou An, and the empress hasn't let her go, so she can't mess around, otherwise the empress's temper can't spare her.

Through the empress asking her to spy on Zhou An, Kou Dong'er understood that in the matter of men and women, the empress was extremely sensitive and caring.

"I'll be exempted from the dynasty this morning, let the saint have a good rest, I will go and tell them, let them go back......" Zhou An directly let go of his hand, and turned away.

That's it, it's over.

Teased Kou Dong'er for a while, and it was over.

In fact, if it is not necessary, Zhou An has no intention of teasing Kou Dong'er, so he can't do anything about falling shares, even if Kou Dong'er is beautiful and in good shape, he doesn't have that kind of liking for Kou Dong'er, and of course she can't compare to Princess Yunjing.

Zhou An: This is equivalent to being a "seduction" Kou Dong'er.

Tease her.

Kou Dong'er will have scruples in her heart, does she dare to say anything to the empress? This matter is definitely not daring, so as long as she has this beginning, she will be able to hide more things for Zhou An.

It's not that Zhou Anxin is heavy, but that this thing has to be done.

Without a little careful thought, Zhou An couldn't climb to today's position.

……

Midday.

The dormitory was bright, the temperature was just right, and Kou Dong'er had opened the window for ventilation.

The empress woke up in her sleep, dazed, but she didn't feel a headache, but her mouth was very dry, her body was very soft, and her whole body couldn't exert her strength, and she was sour and numb.

"Dong'er, water ......" the empress sat up and shouted in confusion.

"Holy Lord, you drink water......" Kou Dong'er was by the window, and the water was ready, she had served the empress for so many years, and it was not the first time the empress had drunk, of course she knew the empress's habits.

When the empress took the glass, she felt that something was wrong.

"Dong'er, what time is it?" The Empress asked.

"It's noon, Holy One." Kou Dong'er said respectfully.

"Poof!" The empress squirted out all the sip of water she had just drunk, threw the cup away, lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, and said hurriedly: "Why is it noon?" Dong'er, why don't you call me? ”

Today's morning is more important, because yesterday it was agreed that we would discuss whether or not to send troops to rescue Jinchaguo.

"When the chief manager left in the morning, he said that you should rest more and not let the slaves and maids call you, so he went and told the ministers of the court to let them go back." Kou Dong'er's voice was a little more careful.

I'm afraid that the empress will misunderstand.

After all, the emperor is the biggest, Zhou An said that if he doesn't go to court, he won't go to court, Kou Dong'er still listens to him?

Zhou An also thought that the empress might misunderstand Kou Dong'er, so he said that he would notify him later.

In this way, everyone let him "drive away", and the responsibility is not Kou Dong'er.

The empress had already gotten out of bed, listened to Kou Dong'er's words, glanced at Kou Dong'er, because she felt that something was wrong with her body, she looked down at herself again, hmm...... It's dirty!

"Dead little Anzi! Take advantage of my drunkenness to mess around. The empress gritted her teeth, and this seemed to have two meanings.

She carefully recalled last night.

In fact, it can still sound some, mainly in the second half of the night, which is called a stimulus.

It's intermittent, it's all fragments.

The empress doesn't remember the details.

"Holy ......," Kou Dong'er said hesitantly.

"Huh?" The empress looked at Kou Dong'er.

"You, you remember, you ...... last night What did you say? Kou Dong'er asked carefully.

"What did I say?" The empress frowned, she thought about it carefully, and then she thought of the little thing on the bed, she looked at Kou Dong'er's expression, and felt that something was wrong, Kou Dong'er still hesitated, and did not answer the empress.

"What's wrong?" The empress asked.

"Holy Lord, you were drunk yesterday, so you talked nonsense, and on the way back to the palace, you ...... However, the slave maid had already taken the first step to let the others go away, and they didn't see that the Holy Lord was out of shape, so the chief was there. Kou Dong'er said.

The empress still frowned and thought about it.

She understood that she should have been drunk and embarrassed yesterday, so Kou Dong'er looked like this.

"Well done, my good winter." The empress looked at Kou Dong'er again, smiled, and reached out to pinch Kou Dong'er's little face.

Kou Dong'er opened her mouth, but didn't say anything more.

In fact, she was relieved.

Because it seems that the empress really can't remember what she said yesterday after drinking.

She's not going to say it either.

"Dead little Anzi." As soon as she finished praising Kou Dong'er, the empress muttered and scolded Zhou An again.

"Holy Lord, the water is ready, it's time for you to bathe and change your clothes." Kou Dong'er said.

"Hmm!" The empress nodded, raised her hand again, and gestured, "Summoning Li Guangshan, Jia Linbo, Yuan Wenxun......" The empress said more than twenty names in one breath.

"An hour later, the Qianyuan Hall will deliberate."

"Yes!" Kou Dong'er took the order.

Convened a group of important ministers to discuss the matter, although Kou Dong'er did not participate in yesterday's dinner, she also heard about it, so she naturally wanted to discuss whether to send troops to Jin Chaguo.

The early dynasty did not negotiate, and the empress was naturally anxious.

This really can't be delayed.

Regardless of whether the imperial court sends troops or not, you have to think of a way to come out, whether it is useful or not, for the time being, Jin Chaguo must not be ignored, otherwise those vassal countries of Donggan will have to be reversed, and they may even come to bite Dongqian.

……

Afternoon.

East Factory Yamen, study.

Knock knock!

"Factory father, the humble job is back."

"Huh?"

Zhou An raised his head, looked at the gate quite unexpectedly, and said, "Come in!" ”

A dusty figure pushed open the door, but it was Ma San!

Zhou An received Ma San yesterday afternoon, and gave Ma San a task, Ma San went to get the token, now calculate the time, it is less than a day and a night, and he rushed back immediately, looking at his expression, he should not have rested much.

"Factory, what you want." Ma Sanxing went to the table, put a small cloth bag on the table, pushed it to Zhou An, and then stood respectfully with his head bowed.

Zhou An picked up the small cloth bag and checked it.

The tokens are inside, not only the tokens, but also some scattered golden tickets, worth almost 15,000 taels of gold, which are hidden by the ghost-faced fox.

No problem at all.

"Not bad." Zhou An put away the cloth bag and praised Ma San, "It's hard work!" ”

"Humble as it should be!" Ma San hurriedly said.

"Let's go rest first." Zhou Andao.

"Yes!" Ma San saluted Zhou An again before leaving.

Zhou An was left alone in the study.

Zhou An's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and he thought about it in his heart.

He always wanted to arrange tasks for Ma San, but Ma San had just come back, so he could only think about it first, Ma San was really useful, and martial arts were secondary, mainly because of his ability to count.

This guy can make money for the imperial court!

And the imperial court is now very short of money!

But Zhou An couldn't think of what to do for a while, there are many ways to make money, but either he can't see the money in the short term, or he is too aggressive, which is easy to cause big problems.

For example, Zhou An could mint new coins, exchange old coins for new coins, and invalidate old coins for a limited time, and only accept new coins in and out of the city, buying and selling salt and iron, etc., so as to prompt the people to take the initiative to exchange for new coins.

This trick is not harmful to the common people.

But for the powerful, for the corrupt officials, and for the family, it can be described as looting, do they dare to change? How much do you dare to change? Although there is gold and silver in circulation, the amount of gold and silver in circulation is still too small compared to copper coins.

The powerful did not dare to exchange money, and the old currency was invalidated within a time limit.

The same amount of new currency will be collected into the treasury if no one is exchanged for it.

This is an unimaginable asset.

However...... You can't do this, the current Dongqian is too unstable, and the imperial court dares to do this, I'm afraid that the whole world will be against it.

"Alas!" Zhou An thought about it and suddenly sighed.

He thought of Ma San's old business again...... Bet!

Because I couldn't think of too good ideas for a while, it was also good for Zhou An to open a casino and let Ma San operate! Although it is a bit unorthodox for the imperial court to open a casino, the East Factory is black enough, and Zhou An is also black enough, so he is not afraid of being a little darker.

Casinos are the most direct windfall profits.

However, there are also risks!

There are too many masters in the world, saying that you can't cheat, but are you guarding against it? How long can it be prevented?

Moreover, Zhou An's enemies in the rivers and lakes are afraid that on the first day the casino opens, there will be a group of masters to smash the field!

Ma San has a lot of ability, that is, he is just one person, and he can't deal with several tables at the same time.

It's not a good idea, but if you can get it right, you can make a lot of money in the short term.

It is also a matter of minutes for a giant businessman to go bankrupt.

"Huh?" Zhou An suddenly thought of something.

To be precise, he had thought of a small spell that had not yet been cultivated.

Zhou An has not practiced small spells for a long time, because he can't cultivate, Zhou An's internal and external cultivation realms are improving rapidly, which is of course inseparable from his diligent practice, and most of the small spells, although their abilities are unique, they are not very useful, or rather, they are duplicated with his practice ability.

For example, the small spell of spitting fire, he can control the fire, and it is pointless to practice spitting small fireballs.

And the little spell that Zhou An thinks of now is very unique.

It's useful in itself, if it can be done!

But this little spell is not difficult to get started, and you want to make it big...... It's very hard!

The reason why Zhou An thought of this now is because this spell can be used for gambling! It can be used to cheat, but no one can find out that Zhou An is cheating!

This technique is called "Spirit Pupil".

This technique is not recorded in the secret book of "Little Spells", but when Zhou An went to Africa to find a real witch doctor in his previous life, he accidentally obtained it, which can be classified as a small spell, but it is also a kind of witchcraft.

The effect of the spirit pupil, some of which are duplicated by the Qi Observation Technique, can also have the effect of the Heavenly Eye, and can see the human qi, but it is not comprehensive, and it is not as strong as Zhou An's current Heavenly Eye.

But the pupil has a unique effect that is not scary but very useful!

As long as you have a preliminary grasp of the spirit pupil, you can use this ability.

This power is - perspective!
