Fortunately, Shen Yun's body was not as bad as she imagined when she needed to arrange things after death, she took a few tranquilizers and slept a few times, and insisted on walking around for a while according to the doctor's instructions, and it recovered as before, and everyone was secretly relieved.

On this day, Shen Yun saw that the beads on the shoes were loose, so he took them off and asked Begonia to nail them with a needle and thread. ”

Shen Yun stretched out his head and looked at it: "It's okay, you can't see it if you don't look carefully, anyway, you will wear it in your own dormitory, and keep the new one to wear when you want to go out to meet people, so as not to make another one when you get it." ”

Haitang sighed: "Your Majesty can't wait to hold all the treasures of the world in front of Niangniang, you are so frugal." ”

Shen Yun listened and said with a smile: "If it is decided today, the treasury is not abundant, His Majesty is willing to take out the treasures enshrined in the world and give it to me, that is his intention, but the rare medicine and high-quality supplements I eat on weekdays are already expensive, like this kind of dispensable things, it is better to save some, so that Your Majesty can spend more money where it should be spent." ”

Haitang also smiled: "The villain listened to the old sister-in-law in the palace say that in the previous dynasty, the royal family no longer even wore washed clothes." ”

Shen Yun said: "That's why the family was defeated, and the Central Plains has gone through hundreds of years of war, starvation and devastation, fortunately, the first emperor was eloquent and strategic, and he unified the country, so that there was today's stable situation, and he met a monarch like His Majesty who can keep his business and govern the world, and set the national policy of lightly punishing the people, so that the people of Li can recuperate." Now that we have learned from the past, we can't do that. Besides, you can also see that our majesty is also more generous to me, and he is not the same as frugality, from clothing, shoes and socks to diet and daily life, he can also save money. ”

Begonia said: "That's right, alas, if only there was a way to make the treasury full as soon as possible." ”

Shen Yun sighed: "Who says it's not." ”

After speaking, the two of them were silent, just when Shen Yun was still looking at the begonia with beads in a daze, he heard the voice of Xiao Cong coming back, and immediately came to the spirit, Huan Huanxi got up and went out, Xiao Cong saw that she was standing in front of her, and there was no more trouble, Lao Yuan reached out to shake her hand, and was about to say something, but he caught a glimpse of her not even wearing shoes, and quickly picked her up, and while walking in, he deliberately reprimanded her with a straight face: "Why did you come out barefoot." ”

Shen Yun hooked his neck with both hands and smiled: "Where are you barefoot, aren't you still wearing socks?" ”

Xiao Cong still frowned: "That's not good, it's so cold on the ground." ”

After entering the house, Xiao Cong put Shen Yun on the couch, and saw that the old shoes on the side were still connected with needles and threads, so he asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Haitang said: "Back to Your Majesty, the beads on the mother's shoes are loose, and the villain is nailing them tighter with needle and thread." ”

Xiao Cong glanced at the shoes and said, "These shoes are old, let's make a new pair." ”

Shen Yun immediately shook his head and said: "Don't, no, they make shoes too much, and they have to measure their feet, and they have to send a lot of tricks to make people choose, it's very troublesome, with that idle work, it's better to go out and bask in the sun, and the concubine has a new pair." ”

Xiao Cong smiled when he heard this: "Why can't you change the problem of saving things, and I don't know how to wear new ones." ”

Shen Yun smiled but didn't answer, Haitang had already called the little maid to come in to cook tea, and at this time she continued to nail the beads while smiling: "Your Majesty doesn't know, the mother said that the new shoes should be kept when you go out to meet people." ”

Xiao Cong said: "Don't listen to your mother, go and bring the new shoes, throw these pairs away." ”

Shen Yun said with a smile: "No, these new shoes are worn out again, and when you go out to meet people, Your Majesty will be ashamed of your concubine." ”

Xiao Cong said: "I'm afraid of being disliked by my mother, where do I dare to dislike my mother." ”

Shen Yun smiled and opened the topic, and gave Begonia another look, Begonia understood, so he put away his old shoes and took out new shoes and socks from the closet.

Xiao Cong took it and was about to change it for Shen Yun, but she shrunk her feet with a red face, Xiao Cong pulled her feet out and said with a smile: "It's all old husbands and wives, why are you still shy." ”

Shen Yun had to be fiddled with by him, and when he changed his shoes and socks, Xiao Cong said: "After wearing my new shoes, you have to go out for a walk with me." As he spoke, he took her hand and walked out, Shen Yun grabbed him, took the tea handed by the little maid and stuffed it into his hand and said, "Your Majesty just came back, and you haven't drunk a sip of water yet, and you're in a hurry to go out to do something." ”

Xiao Cong drank it all in one gulp, and then pulled her out: "Let's go, it's comfortable to be in the sun outside at this time." ”

They laughed and walked around the garden, and when they were about to go back, a waiter suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness Concubine Chen, Su Xiang, please see you." ”

Xiao Cong was puzzled: "Isn't Su Xiang in Kyoto?" Why did it come over suddenly. ”

Shen Yun said: "Xu is in a hurry, Your Majesty should go quickly, and the concubine will go back by herself." ”

The chamberlain listened and hurriedly said, "Su Xiang also said that His Royal Highness Concubine Chen should go with him." ”

Shen Yun and Xiao Cong glanced at each other, they didn't know why, but they had to go to the main hall hand in hand, and on the way Xiao Cong asked the waiter: "What's going on?" ”

The chamberlain replied, "The villain doesn't know, it's just that Su Xiang came with a young man named Xingyun." ”

The two of them looked at each other when they heard this, and thought to themselves, could it be that this kid really caused some trouble, and it was so big that even the prime minister couldn't hold it, so he was in a hurry to come to the emperor to help settle it?

When Xingyun followed Su Huaijin to wait outside the main hall, his heart crackled, as soon as he saw his uncle's speech and demeanor, he vaguely felt that he was not ordinary, at least his status was not below Uncle Su, but he really didn't dare to think about it. I knew why I only needed one hundred taels of silver, and I directly asked for one thousand taels and one thousand taels of silver, so didn't I already make a lot of money now? No, this time I must pull him, the emperor's uncle, to buy more shares, which will be good for everyone.

At that time, Su Huaijin saw Xiao Cong and Shen Yun coming with a serious face, so he knew what they were thinking, and he just felt funny in his heart, and led Xingyun to greet them, so he nodded to Xingyun, Xingyun hurriedly opened a big box in his arms and held it in front of Shen Yun, and said with a smile: "This is my nephew's filial piety to my aunt, and I ask my aunt not to dislike it." ”

Shen Yun glanced at it, it was full of gold and stone scrolls and some inscriptions, pen inkstones, and he didn't answer them, but said worriedly: "You don't come to this set, let's talk about what kind of trouble you are in." ”

Xingyun was stunned, and said with some grievances: "Why does my aunt look down on people like this, can't my nephew use the money earned from business to buy things to honor my aunt?" ”

Shen Yun was a little surprised, reached out and rummaged through the things inside, picked out a Tian Huang seal and said, "In such a short time, what kind of business can you do to make so much money." ”

Xingyun smiled: "Don't worry about this aunt, it's a serious business anyway." After speaking, he took out a few silver tickets from his arms, handed them to Xiao Cong respectfully, and said: "This is forty hundred and twenty taels of seventy percent of the money, the nephew is not good, he only earned so much, and please uncle don't be too little, the nephew is bold, I want to ask my uncle to borrow more money, next time I will definitely hand over the amount that you are satisfied with." ”

Xiao Cong flipped through the silver ticket in his hand, and said with some astonishment: "You mean, in such a short time, you quadrupled the three hundred taels?" ”

Xingyun nodded, and couldn't help sighing: "If it weren't for the inexperience in business at the beginning, and a little dark loss, you could still make more." ”

Xiao Cong shook his head with a smile, handed the silver ticket to Shen Yun and said, "Look, the money to make new shoes is here." After speaking, he thought about it and said to Xingyun: "Aunt is tired, you send her back to rest first, and Uncle Su will talk about something." ”

Xingyun listened, and hurriedly helped Shen Yun up to salute and retreated, and the two talked all the way to the dormitory, Haitang instructed the little maid to cook tea, and took out Shen Yun's old shoes to continue to nail beads.

Shen Yun asked Xingyun about some of his parents, thought about it and said, "How did you spend the more than 100 taels of silver you got for doing business this time?" ”

Xingyun replied, "I bought some supplements for my mother first, and I will buy gifts for my aunt for the rest." ”

"Why don't you keep a little for yourself?"

"This made the first money, so naturally I have to honor my mother who worked hard to give birth to me, and then thank my aunt who rebuilt it, as for the nephew himself, he is not in a hurry, and the future will be long."

Shen Yun stroked his head and stuffed the silver tickets just now into his hand, Xingyun naturally didn't want it, Shen Yun said: "Good boy, you have a heart, I don't lack anything here, I don't need so much money, take it back and honor your mother, she has suffered all these years." Nebula just took it.

Shen Yun saw that Haitang had nailed the beads, but still put on the old shoes, and asked her to put away the new shoes she had just taken off. Seeing this, Xingyun frowned slightly, and secretly said in his heart, seeing that although her clothes, shoes and socks were made of good materials, they were all old things, and they were not as luxurious as the rich people she saw on weekdays wearing new things. Isn't my uncle treating my aunt as well as it is rumored? It doesn't look like it.

At this time, an attendant came to summon, he said goodbye to Shen Yun, returned to the main hall to see the ceremony, Xiao Cong said to him: "I have just discussed with your Uncle Su, and I will use some more silver money with you as the principal, and do your business well, if you do well, I will allocate funds to you from the treasury in the future, and you will get 20% of the profits, and the rest will be used to fill the treasury, are you willing?" ”

When Xingyun heard this, he was naturally overjoyed, and said to Xiao Cong: "Thank you uncle for your trust, my nephew will definitely live up to your expectations." ”

On the way out, Su Huaijin saw that he had been thoughtful, so he asked him what was wrong, Xingyun said: "I don't understand why my aunt is more frugal than ordinary rich and noble people, and she is reluctant to throw away her shoes when they are old, and I thought that my uncle treated her as well as I imagined, but now after listening to my uncle's words, I know that the emperor is also short of money." ”

Su Huaijin said with a smile: "Your uncle treats his aunt well, the country is really short of money now, the past few hundred years, the Central Plains has been in constant chaos, and now is the time to be rejuvenated, where you need money, but you can't increase taxes, your uncle is always worried about this." ”

Xingyun said: "It is true that the taxes of the ordinary people cannot be increased, but the rich people can still levy more." ”

Su Huaijin said: "You said it lightly, if you let those rich people pay more taxes, they will pay them obediently?" Why? ”

Xingyun said: "This is obviously not going to be able to levy more taxes, you can use roundabout tactics." ”

Su Huaijin said curiously: "What kind of roundabout? ”

Xingyun smiled: "Don't those rich people love luxury? Everything should be used in the best, then my uncle can levy high taxes on the trade of these luxury things, and it is not a necessity anyway, and it has no effect on the common people. As for those rich people, they will only be more eager for these rising things, and they will feel that they have more face when they buy them. ”

Hearing this, Su Huaijin stopped, stood for a while, pulled Xingyun and walked back, at this time, Xiao Cong's way back to the dormitory was halfway through, and when he heard the report of the inner servant, he couldn't cry or laugh, looked at the sky and said: "That's it, let them come to the dormitory later, and let the dining room prepare more meals for two people." ”
