At least there are no people who come to investigate Qingzhi's real good deeds in the name of visiting Xiang Yeqi.

I don't know if it's because Xiang Yeqi is taking care of Xiang Changheng all day long, or Qingzhi has no intention of taking the initiative to provoke the incident, and nothing has happened in the past half a month.

Until the good news came from the border pass, it was originally a matter of celebrating with Beijing, but because the border barbarians refused to withdraw their troops and were deadlocked, the court could not afford it.

Not only is the supply of food and grass difficult, but even the most basic weapons needs are a little insufficient.

Such a big thing, no one in Beijing mentioned it.

"The prince explained when he replied that he didn't know this Qingzhi girl."

Nan Chen is still trying to explain the love of his master, after all, except for Xiang Yeqi in this world, there may not be anyone who can be so compatible with Bo Zhaoxu.

"Of course I knew this from the beginning, after all, except for me, no one is blind to him, and his speech is so annoying, and it's okay to be long!"

When he speaks to the night with a clear conscience, he is always accompanied by a pompous smile.

"The prince is also afraid that you will misunderstand."

Nan Chen didn't dare to say what he thought at all.

If you like Bo Zhaoxu, you will be considered blind, so I don't know how many young girls in the capital will be blind, but Bo Zhaoxu likes Xiang Yeqi, who is "blind", just right......

"Well, just reassure him, I'm not so easy to suspect him. However, I heard that the border guards are very tight, did you mention it in the letter? What is the condition of the army he is in? ”

"Not so good."

Nan Chen almost didn't think about it.

"The military resources at the border pass are all equally tight, and the army led by the prince is not only not much better than General Xue, but even tighter. If the enemy army withdraws at this time, it will be fine, but at this time, the enemy army has a posture of four exhaustions, and if it continues to be consumed for a long time, I am afraid that it will be difficult......"

After listening to Nan Chen's explanation, the smile in the corner of Xiang Ye's eyes suddenly disappeared, and he was very worried: "Can't you ask Your Majesty?" This is military funding, how can there be such a big mistake. ”

"It seems that the subordinates of the military department Shangshu have deducted military salaries and made tricks in armaments, not to mention that the quantity has been reduced a lot, and the quality is also abnormally poor. His Majesty already knows about this, but the prince is in the north at this time, and after the approval is carried out layer by layer, I am afraid it will take a long time. ”

"I'm in Beijing, can't I interfere with it? If this drags on, sooner or later something will go wrong. ”

"It takes several formalities to examine and approve armaments before they can be alternately brought to His Majesty's face, and it will probably take 15 days to send armaments out of Beijing after coming and going."

Nan Chen knows best how complicated this matter is, just a document with an agreement on the number of documents will drag on for several days, not to mention several different documents, and it really has to be tossed step by step, let alone a month. It was still time to burn his eyebrows, and the old emperor had to order his courtiers to simplify the paperwork process as much as possible.

Xiang Yeqi remembered his almost shriveled small treasury, and gritted his teeth: "I have to wait so long to ask for military horses from His Majesty's hands, so I just donate military horses to them myself!" It's so good that people can return to Beijing safely. ”

The words are so.

But most of the private money saved by Yeqi has been given to Miss Feng Jiao, and it doesn't hurt to embezzle the savings of the Four Princes' Mansion, but if someone moves from it and gets involved in the crime of reselling armaments, it will be a big problem. This savings can be used, but they can only be used to make up for the gaps.

I really can't do it, so I borrowed a little from Miss Feng Jiao.

Xiang Yeqi decided to borrow some from Miss Feng Jiao, but when he got out of the carriage, Xiang Yeqi was a little hesitant...... Miss Feng Jiao has only left the Four Princes' Mansion for more than half a month, even if there is some improvement in business, it should only have just returned some capital. It seems that it is not the right time to borrow money from her at this time.

"Princess, won't you get out of the carriage?" The coachman was surprised.

Xiang Yeqi still got out of the carriage in the end, after all, even if he couldn't borrow money, it was a good thing to catch up with Miss Fengjiao, but as soon as Xiang Yeqi stepped out of the carriage, he was shocked by the scene in front of him......

What's going on with this multi-storey "Lee's Restaurant"?

Are you in the wrong place?

If it weren't for Xiang Yeqi who saw that the proprietress of Miss Feng Jiao was entertaining guests, Xiang Yeqi would really think that he was confused......

Xiang Yeqi rubbed his eyes to make sure that the magnificent restaurant in front of him had not disappeared like an illusion.

Yourself this ...... Sure enough, you're in the wrong place, right?

Xiang Yeqi repeatedly confirmed that the place written in Miss Feng Jiao's letter was indeed here, but compared to the "small restaurant" that Miss Feng Jiao wrote modestly in the letter, the restaurant in front of her looked like a fake.

Far away, Miss Feng Jiao saw Xiang Yeqi who was stopping outside the door, and took the initiative to come forward to talk: "The princess borrowed so much money from me, I don't make a name for myself, wouldn't I be too sorry for the princess's intentions." How much to borrow, the princess just asks, as long as I can take it, I will definitely make it up for the princess. ”

The millennium of winning people's grace and fruits, she is now prosperous, and she has really not forgotten the favor that she asked for from Yeqi at the beginning.

After she took the money from Xiang Yeqi that day, she was not in a hurry to open a shop, but invested in a foreign trade with great foresight, and other merchants saw her a woman mixed in, and speculated that she did not understand the market, which must be a loss-making business.

Therefore, they sold the goods in their hands one after another, wanting to get out of it as soon as possible, and Miss Feng Jiao happened to have some spare funds in her hands at this time, so she bought the goods sold by those merchants at a low price.

Those merchants were still waiting to see how much money she had lost, but it happened that when the Western Xia envoys entered Beijing every year, hundreds of truckloads of goods were taken over by the Western Xia mission before they left Beijing, and they were on their way back to Western Xia at this time. Those businessmen who temporarily withdrew have already repented this time.

After negotiating the business with Xixia, Miss Feng Jiao took out some funds to start building the property under her name, and this "Li's Restaurant" is one of them, but it is not an exaggeration to say that the day is making money.

"I just lent you this money not long ago, and I wanted to ask for it back, which really made me feel a little embarrassed......" Xiang Yeqi smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's really tight on the front line, and I can't count on those people in the court, so I have to borrow money from you, so I should respond to this urgency." ”

"It's easy to say, my business is stable now, and I have left a few hundred taels of gold to cope with the operation of funds on weekdays, that is. After removing these, I should have seven thousand taels of gold left in my hand, and if the princess is in a hurry to use them, she will take them all. ”

Miss Feng Jiao calmly seemed to be talking about a few pennies, which really made Xiang Yeqi feel that she had underestimated Miss Feng Jiao's ability - she was afraid that she had saved a cornucopia from Han San's hands.

These ordinary people can accumulate the family foundation for decades, and she only fought for it in half a month?

"I don't need so much, even if you dare to borrow, I don't dare to ask for so much. It just so happens that you are doing business now, so you should also enter the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, right? I will make a note today and borrow two thousand taels of gold from you, and you will introduce me to some arms merchants, and I will repay you two thousand taels of gold at that time. ”

According to the price of 2,000 taels of gold in the capital at this time, it is probably exchanged for 300,000 taels of silver, and Xiang Yeqi expects to spend a fraction of 100,000 yuan from the Four Princes' Mansion, which is enough to prepare for the gap in military funds on the front line.

"The princess is more than I am gracious, why do you still say it so politely?"

Miss Feng Jiao made a mocking snort, blaming her for her life with herself.

"Now that the business is stable, if you can help the princess with such a small favor, what can two thousand taels of gold be worth? If there is no princess to rescue, what is my Li Fengjiao? Being a concubine for a lifetime is light, to put it more seriously, I'm afraid that now whether you can have this tone has become a problem! If the princess wants my help in the future, just ask. ”

"I really need your help here."

When he came, Xiang Yeqi still had some concerns, in case Miss Feng Jiao was in an embarrassing situation at this time, and involving her again would undoubtedly make Miss Feng Jiao's situation worse.

But now seeing this, Xiang Yeqi is also relieved for the most part.

"He has been away from Beijing for a while, and those people in Beijing are very close to the Four Princes' Mansion, so there are some things that I can't do in the name of the Four Princes' Mansion. Today, the saint is suspicious, and the control of weapons is very strict. I want to ask you for your help and donate supplies to the front-line soldiers in your name, it may be a bit troublesome for you, but I will also order someone to help you coordinate. ”

The old emperor is becoming more and more suspicious, and the small batch of weapons trading can still turn a blind eye, if she buys a large amount of military funds in the name of the Four Princes' Mansion, I am afraid that before she donates out of the capital, she will be detained by the old emperor halfway, and by the way, the Four Princes' Mansion will be charged with a suspected rebellion.

It is not easy to get a businessman like Miss Feng Jiao to come forward - after all, in the Chamber of Commerce, it is not uncommon to sell weapons behind the scenes, and in comparison, it is not so easy to attract the attention of others.

"That's all? It's hard for the princess to have some worries in her heart, I have never been in the arms business, but I have also heard about the risks, just a few days ago, there were people in the palace who bought a large number of swords and light armor, it should be for this reason. ”

Xiang Yeyan pondered for a moment, and always felt that it was not as Miss Feng Jiao thought, not to mention whether there would be anyone in the palace who would pay out of his own pocket to purchase military funds for the front line, if it was really to donate to the front line, it would be impossible for so long without any movement. I'm afraid it's just to control the market, so that others can't buy these weapons.

Even if you want to buy weapons, it's hard to start.

"Then, in your opinion, will it be a little difficult for me to purchase weapons for the front-line soldiers now?" Xiang Yeqi couldn't help but be a little worried.

"It's natural, now that the news in the capital is so loud, those merchants who dare to resell a large number of weapons are afraid that they will wait for a high price according to their wishes, and if the princess can trust me, she will leave this matter to me.
