"Someone, get me a car." After the heavenly spirit finished explaining, he turned around and went into the house to change his clothes.

When he came out again, Jiang Qingliu, who had already changed from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, had become the costume of the heavenly spirit in the palace, and he was still holding a stack of heavy account books in his hand.

Walked to the gate of the courtyard and folded back, found a box, slipped down Wang Xipingti, who was lying on the courtyard wall, and stuffed it into the secret compartment of the box, and then put the account books into the box one by one, and then picked up the box and walked out.

These are the account books for the emperor to see, Tianling didn't dare to fake people's hands, for fear of being passive, so every time he carried it himself, the box was a little heavy, Tianling moved a little hard, and when he walked to the place where the carriage was prepared, some fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

After putting the box away, Tianling said to the coachman, "Let's go, lest we close the palace gate for a while, and we will have to wait until tomorrow." ”

The coachman did not answer, for he was a mute, and waited for the heavenly spirit to sit down before he whipped his whip and drove the car towards the palace.

This coachman was assigned to him by the emperor, and he was specially responsible for transporting the heavenly spirits in and out of the palace.

Tian Ling leaned on the cushion in the carriage, eating the honey-stained plums brought out of the house, and felt extremely comfortable when he thought of what would happen next.

Since the business is on the right track, the emperor will no longer stare at him from time to time, only order him to take one day a month to enter the palace to talk about the situation, Tianling in order to facilitate the work to the emperor, quoted the modern accounting of the loan bookkeeping, Tianling is not an accountant, what assets and liabilities loan bookkeeping he just knows that there is such a thing, he does not understand, this whole set of things, from Wang Xiping, is the previous master in Wang Xiping's memory is one of the few useful things, was discovered by Tianling, With a slight adaptation, it has become a bookkeeping method suitable for this era, with the last day of the month as the deadline, the expenses and incomes of the month are sorted out one by one, and in addition to these sub-accounts, a general ledger is also obtained, and all the business is clear at a glance.

When Tian Ling first showed these sorted accounts to the emperor, the emperor's eyes lit up, and then ordered Tian Ling to write down this accounting method in detail and present it to him.

Then this shameless emperor, with this set of accounting methods of Tianling, was awarded to the ministers in the early dynasty and asked them to implement it throughout the country.

It was also from that time that the emperor didn't know what his psychology was, and every time Tianling entered the palace to report his work, he would leave him in the palace for a meal, stay for one night, and let him out the next day.

Tianling couldn't understand why the emperor did this, so he simply didn't want to, the emperor let him eat him, and let him live, Tianling was like this, seeing that the emperor didn't make any moths, he put his mind at ease, just thinking that the emperor wanted to be kind to him, so that he could continue to be a cow and a horse for him.

When he arrived at the Tianqian Palace, Tianling routinely reported the business situation to the emperor, and the emperor casually flipped a few pages of the account book sent by Tianling and put it aside, did not look at it again, but beckoned to Gonggong Hai.

"Take out some of the new fruits in the palace, and serve them to the heavenly spirits to taste."

Gonggong Hai received the order to go down, Tianling was stunned, looked at the account book that was thrown aside, and didn't know whether to thank him now or continue to report.

Fortunately, the emperor spoke in time, "Don't be busy talking about these first, accompany me to eat first." ”

"Huh?" Tian Ling's big eyes were full of doubts, although the emperor would also give food in the past, but it was all after Tian Ling reported to him the situation of various businesses, why did he have to eat so early today?

"I'm hungry." The Emperor was succinct.

"The little one will go to the Imperial Dining Room of Gonggong Hai to pass the meal, and when His Majesty finishes eating, Tianling will come over to report the income of the shops everywhere." The heavenly spirit bowed respectfully, turned around and prepared to go to the imperial dining room.

"You don't have to go, you just stay here." But the emperor stopped the heavenly spirits.

You are the emperor, do whatever you say! Tianling paused, stepped aside, and quietly served as a stake.

"Sit down." The Emperor gestured to the side of the chair and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tianling is not polite, why can you sit and stand? He sat down as he said.

As soon as he sat down, Gonggong Hai came back and replied, "Your Majesty, the fruit has been chilled with the ice taken from the library, and it will be fine in a while." ”

"Well, you can go to the imperial dining room to pass the meal." The emperor instructed Haigong to be fair.

Gong Hai took the order, and after a while, he came over with a slippery palace, holding plates and saucers in the Tianqian Palace.

"Your Majesty, you did as you commanded." Gonggong Hai cleaned up the table in front of the emperor, put the dishes and chopsticks, and then beckoned lightly, signaling the palace people to put the food on the table.

The emperor nodded slightly, then pointed to the heavenly spirit and said, "Give him a copy too." ”

In addition to the routine report on the business situation, Tianling entered the palace today, and was also ready to tell the emperor about the mahjong cards in Pingjing City, and it was estimated that the situation would be complicated for a long time, and he was afraid that he would be hungry at that time, so he ate a lot of candied snacks and other things on the way here, and he was not hungry at all at this time.

Seeing the emperor's order, he hurriedly stood up and excused himself, "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, but the little one ate something on the way here, and he was not hungry at this time, I am afraid that he can only live up to His Majesty's grace." ”

"Have you eaten?" The Emperor asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Heavenly Spirit replied.

"It doesn't matter, you can eat as much as you want." With a wave of his hand, the emperor asked the palace people to serve a copy of the small table in front of Tianling.

“······” Looking at the food in front of him, Tian Ling regretted it extremely at this time, and he knew that he would not eat the bag of plums.

"What? Dislike? Seeing that Tianling didn't move his chopsticks, the emperor asked.

"I like it, but I can't fit it in my belly." Tianling said helplessly.

"Can't eat it······" The emperor twisted his eyebrows, looked at Tianling for a while, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and pointed to Tianling and said, "Then you come out to tie a stick of incense." ”

？？？

Tianling was full of question marks by the emperor's order, he was fine just now, and he gave himself food, why did he punish himself for taking a horse step in the blink of an eye? Time to return a stick of incense?

"It's not necessarily the time for a stick of incense, when you eat it, you don't need to tie it." The Emperor continued.

Tianling stretched out his hands, quickly grabbed the chopsticks in front of him, picked a dish and put it in his mouth, "Your Majesty, the little one will eat now!" ”

Compared with Zamabu and eating, then choose the latter!

Seeing this, the emperor raised the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, and then slowly picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

After that, there was no sound in the Tianqian Hall except for the occasional light sound of the collision of dishes and chopsticks.

The craftsmanship of the imperial chef is really superb, and after tasting it, even if he is not hungry, he unconsciously eats a lot.

In the end, I couldn't eat anymore, so I gently put down the dishes and chopsticks, and ate the rice, I shouldn't let myself take a step, right?

When the emperor heard the sound, he turned his head and glanced at Tianling, then looked at the food in front of Tianling, didn't say anything, turned his head back with a calm expression, and put down his chopsticks.

"Pull it off." The Emperor commanded.

"Yes." Gonggong Hai stepped forward and commanded the palace people to put away the dishes and chopsticks.

"Okay, Tianling, you continue with what I said earlier." After the emperor finished speaking, he picked up the ledger that he had thrown aside before, "Huh? Why is there a lot less income in the accounts this month? ”

The emperor looked at the amount on the general ledger and asked in confusion, "Have you checked it?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, I checked, the reason why this month's income is much lower than last month is because two of my shops are closed." Heavenly Spirit Dao.

"It's just two shops, can you lose such a large amount of money?" The emperor asked with a slight surprise, "What kind of shop are they?" ”

"It's two teahouses." The Celestial Spirit replied.

"Teahouse? A shop that sells tea? Can such a large amount of tea be credited? The Emperor shook his head, "Impossible. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, although it is called a teahouse and also provides tea to guests, it is fundamentally different from the ordinary tea shops in the market." Tianling explained, "It's called a teahouse, and it's really a gambling house. ”

"Gambling house?" The emperor suddenly realized that if it was a gambling house, it would be able to reach such a big gap.

"Exactly." The Celestial Spirit replied.

"If these two teahouses can bring in such a high income, why close him?" The emperor looked at Tianling with sharp eyes, such a big business, it would be closed when he said it, if he hadn't asked, wouldn't he be ready to tell himself?

"Back to Your Majesty, this is what Tianling wants to report to you the most this time." Tianling was not afraid of the emperor's gaze at all, standing in the Tianqian Palace, his small waist was straight, and he said in a resolute tone, "The benefits brought by the teahouse are indeed huge, but it must be closed. ”

"Oh? Is it? The Emperor glanced at the Heavenly Spirit, "Then you can tell me why this must be closed." ”

"I don't know if Your Majesty has heard of it, there has been a wave of pai gow craze in Pingjing City recently, and almost everyone is talking about two ways to play pai gow, mahjong tiles and playing cards." Heavenly Spirit Dao.

"When I chatted with the ministers of the previous dynasty, I heard a thing or two." The emperor said, "If I remember correctly, didn't you make this game last time you presided over the competition of the concubines in the palace?" ”

"Your Majesty remembers right, these two pai gow games are the two that you played at the beginning." Tian Ling said with a sincere face, "Tian Ling knows His Majesty's predicament, so in addition to eating and sleeping every day, he is thinking about how to earn more money for His Majesty and share His Majesty's worries. ”

When the emperor saw Tianling's appearance, listening to his tone of words, it didn't seem like a fraud at all, this little slave was loyal, and a strange sense of satisfaction arose in his heart.

"I'm glad you have that loyalty." The emperor said, "So you opened these two teahouses?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it is that Tianling visited the major shops in the capital, visited all kinds of businesses, and finally found that the money is fast and makes a lot of money, except for the Goolan Courtyard is the gambling house, so Tianling has the idea of opening a gambling house."

"However, it is not easy to open a gambling house in the capital, not to mention the various doorways inside, let's just say the most important one, that is, there are countless large and small gambling houses in the capital, if you open an ordinary gambling house among these, there will not be any good business, so Tianling thought, is there any new way to stand on the heels."

"Thinking about it, Tianling thought of the previous in the inner court, and the girls together with the competition, that competition, the ladies are very fond of the two Pai Gow play, I think, the expensive ladies like to play, think that the people of Dawei will also like it, so why not bring forth the new, with the new Pai Gow play to attract people?"

"But I am afraid that the people do not understand the elegance of the nobles in the palace, and when the time comes, a lot of money will be invested in it, and if they can't get it back, won't they live up to Your Majesty's trust? So Tianling asked people to try it out among the people first, and it turned out that it was very popular, so he made up his mind to open two teahouses. ”

"Fortunately, Tianling's conjecture is correct, although only a small number of people have tried it, but after the teahouse opened, these two ways of playing have received everyone's enthusiasm, and the two teahouses have also earned a lot of money."

"To be able to earn so much money for His Majesty, to be able to break up for His Majesty, Tianling was overjoyed, so he thought, taking advantage of everyone's interest in these two pai gow games now, the business will be a little bigger, so I organized another Sparrow God Competition, Pingjing City Everyone can participate in the Sparrow God Competition, there is no limit, as long as you can play these two kinds of pai gow, you can participate, not only that, if you win everyone, you will also get a fortune. I don't think people will turn down the opportunity to get rich overnight without losing anything. ”

"Sure enough, everyone enthusiastically participated, and then I took advantage of the situation to launch the sale of mahjong tiles and playing cards, so that in addition to the business of the teahouse itself, the income from selling mahjong tiles and playing cards will not be less."

"Last month's accounts, there were so many accounts, and it was also for this reason." When the Heavenly Spirit said this, he deliberately showed a somewhat proud look.

He doesn't think there is anything he does with these things, but in this world, in the eyes of others, his scheming and his control of people's hearts are enough to make people jealous.

The emperor is above 10,000 people, the best thing is suspicion and jealousy, with the current situation of Tianling, if he is perfect in front of him, then it is not far from death, and it is best to sell a flaw in time, and let the emperor make up for himself to be just a little smart but can be seen through by him.

Sure enough, after Tianling revealed this look, the emperor's tense face relaxed, and even showed a little satisfaction.

"The teahouse is the most profitable time at this time, but Tianling has to shut him down!" When Tianling said this, he suddenly knelt down and bowed a few times, then raised his head, opened his misty eyes and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, there was an accident in the teahouse one day, and Tianling only then knew how serious a mistake he had made, please punish Your Majesty!" ”
