Lin Heqing was summoned, and after coming in with his head down, he knelt down and saluted: "The grass people knock to see Your Majesty." ”

"How is the county lord of Changping recently?" King Han sat behind the desk and asked.

Lin Heqing was inserted into the Qinling Palace's mansion a long time ago, specifically to monitor the Qinling Palace's every move and secretly communicate information. After more than 30 years of operation, he climbed to the position of director.

Lin Heqing secretly thought to himself that after the King of Han wanted to know what the Changping County Lord had done recently, he replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the Changping County Lord is indeed as the outside world said, taking his treasury silver to benefit Linyi County, but the slave feels that this Changping County Lord is a little different from the previous one. ”

"What's the difference?" King Han stretched out his voice, apparently vigilant.

I have already considered it, after all, my wife, children and grandchildren are all in Linyi County. I'm afraid that the county lord of Changping also has a secret eyeliner, and he found that he was suing behind his back, and he didn't slaughter his family.

Lin Heqing then said what he had thought of: "The previous county lord took his maids to tour the mountains and rivers all day long, frolicking in the house, and throwing poetry and books behind. Now ......"

After secretly glancing at King Han, he continued: "It's still frolicking all day long, but it's not too much to leave the house." The difference is that she is trying to collect grain and winter materials, and she can't figure it out, I don't know why. ”

These two years have been warm winters, and last winter, no matter how afraid of the cold the palace concubine was, she only gave birth to a half-moon charcoal basin in the coldest time. The amount of charcoal in the palace has been halved more than once. But when the charcoal was the cheapest, she collected a lot.

Han Wang disagreed: "She has never done business, and she may take whatever she thinks is cheap." Charcoal, cotton clothes, and oil, which is not a lot more stale goods. ”

Lin Heqing hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty is really powerful, and he thinks more clearly than a slave." ”

Then he took out a roll of bamboo slips from the placket and presented it with both hands: "This is the daily life written by the secret pile when the slave is not in Linyi County." ”

Who else can live every day, of course, it is the county lord of Changping. Not only the county lord of Changping, but also in the mansions of every prince, vassal king, county king, three dukes and nine kings, and important ministers, there are hidden piles sent by the king of Han. Only by grasping everyone's every move can we know which person harbors evil intentions, which person intends to rebel, and which one forms a party for personal gain.

The chamberlain went over and took the bamboo slip from Lin Heqing's hand and handed it to King Han with both hands.

After opening it, King Han took a rough look, that is, what time to get up, what time to eat, and what time to sleep every day. If there is something important, or something that goes against the grain, it will be outlined with a cinnabar red pen.

The only thing that was ticked out with a few red pens was that the county lord of Changping watched the maid practice archery.

Archery competitions will be held after autumn, so of course you need to practice more. This archery was thrown by the county lord of Changping County, and it was not a big deal.

King Han then raised his head: "Continue to watch after you go back, and report if there is anything abnormal." ”

After the dark pile left, King Han looked at the Changping County Lord's gratitude table again and smiled again.

Twenty sheep are sent once a month. He had to consume one sheep every day, and the whole palace needed seven or eight heads. It's calculated, limited supply.

I don't do business in the capital anymore, I can go somewhere else. According to the report from the spies, the steward of the county lord's mansion the day before yesterday had already taken people to Jiangnan to purchase lotus roots, and the lotus roots had to be bought for 300 quintals. Obviously, a month later, maybe he also had Jiangnan lotus root to eat.

As long as the county lord of Changping does not form a party for personal gain, and does not rebel with the vassal king, let her make a fuss as she wants. At most, the spirit of a businessman has a reputation for greedy money, which is also her own reputation, which is much better than rebellion.

At this time, Xining sneezed, she rubbed her nose, could it be that someone was thinking about her?

Steward Xiao came in and saluted: "County Lord! ”

Xining handed a roll of bamboo slips to Jing'er, and asked Jing'er to give it to Steward Xiao: "I have seen the list of lotus root banquets, you go back and think about it, and if you are not sure, you will inquire again." Be sure to invite all the young ladies who have reached the age and are not yet married in every family, regardless of the concubines. Then prepare a blank post in each house, saying that if the housewife is not at ease, she can also come together. ”

Steward Xiao was embarrassed and said, "If this is the case, all the housewives of all the families are here, where are the arrangements?" ”

Xinin laughed: "They won't come. ”

"Why?" Steward Xiao narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

Xining shook the fan: "If you don't worry, don't let your children come, since you come over, you should rest assured." Could it be that it is not on the table, so it is not at ease? ”

"Tall!" Steward Xiao raised his thumbs, but was embarrassed again: "There will always be one or two uninteresting ones, what should I do if I really come over?" ”

Xining said lightly: "Find two clever ones and put them at the door, and when I saw that there was a housewife coming, I let out my mouth, and said that it was still the housewife of this house who loved the child, and she was the only one in the whole county who was accompanied by the housewife." At this time, if you are not interested in going in, then send it to Beiyuan and provide some tea and snacks. ”

He said that he could come together, but where he sit, he had to obey the master's arrangement. Originally, this was the lotus root feast, and the wind was released, and the banquet was set up in the water pavilion next to the lotus root pond, and men and women sat on both sides, separated by a screen in the middle.

The young men and women on both sides hear only their voices, but they do not see them; During the banquet, poetry, calligraphy, songs, and paintings were contested as an elegant taste. If you admire his talent, you can remember the name and go back to talk to your parents. And those who are already married and not yet married can also take this opportunity to see if their other half is really as the legend says.

This is the meaning of the lotus root feast, "lotus root" together with "couple", is a good opportunity for the children of each family to become famous. It was hosted by Changping County again, and it will definitely be very exciting.

Xi Ning thought, and was a little impatient. But the lotus root used for the banquet is still in the lotus pond in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Write a post to the provinces now and let them get ready." Xining reminded again: "The goods in the shop must be fully prepared." ”

This is a great opportunity for them to buy and buy, and the goods there are all first-class and good goods, and some of them are rare in the capital. In order to be brilliant and not look shabby, you must also prepare a good thing to smash the pot and sell iron.

"Yes, county lord!" Steward Xiao respectfully retreated. When I went out, I sighed, how could this county lord be so good at doing business, this lotus root banquet, it is obvious that he is going to make a lot of money again. A few broken lotus roots can be exchanged for real money, and there is nothing wrong with making money, not bribery, just buying and selling. It's really impressive!

Three days later, all the provinces received a post from the lord of Changping County, which mainly held a lotus root feast. One stone stirs up a thousand waves, and the first thing each government does is to run to the street, so hurry up and buy it!
