Chapter 95: Talking about business
Qi Ruo came out of the camp where the lord of Haoyue was resting, and saw Qi Mo, and it seemed that he was waiting for him.
She didn't want to mention the Lord of the Hazy Moon anymore, so she simply talked about the thoughts she had never let go.
"I've thought about it before, what if you say that this ice-making method would be given to the emperor? Nowadays, the country and the people are safe, and it is just the time to develop business, besides, the people take food as the sky and forget everything, but this appetite must not be disadvantaged. ”
Qi Mo felt funny, stretched out his hand and flicked Qi Ruo's forehead, and said dotingly: "What are you thinking about all day long?" I'm worried that you don't mind the matter of the county lord of Haoyue, I'm afraid that you will be scared, but it's good for you to think about making money. ”
Qi Ruo covered his forehead, which was hurt by Qi Mo's bullet, and didn't have time to glare at Qi Mo before he rejected this thought: "No, no, a companion is like a tiger, it's better not to be good." ”
"Duchess Zhenguo seems to have some misunderstanding about me?"
As soon as Qi Ruo turned around, he saw the emperor standing there in a bright yellow dragon robe, although he had a smile on his face, it made Qi Ruo's soles of his feet cold, and he hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guiltily: "I hope that the emperor will forgive the sin, it is the courtier's wife who is stupid and stupid, and she speaks nonsense and turns upside down." ”
"Then I'll have to ask the Duchess of Zhenguo."
Qi Ruo was so frightened that her little face turned pale, and Qi Mo couldn't bear it when she saw it, so she wanted to say that the emperor was teasing her, but there were many people here, so she had to help people up and follow the emperor into the camp.
When he arrived at the emperor's tent, he didn't wait for the emperor to have a seizure, Qi Ruo knelt on the ground uneasily.
The emperor raised his eyebrows, looked at Qi Mo with a malicious smile, and waved everyone away when the palace maid had enough tea.
He just didn't see Qi Mo give him a look, and took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then said, "What is Mrs. Qi doing?" I haven't blamed that yet. Besides, you're right, a companion is like a tiger, and the world knows it, but I don't want to be such a person. If I really blame you, wouldn't I have such a name? ”
Qi Ruo was so anxious that he sweated, and hurriedly bent over and kowtowed to confess: "It's the courtier's gaffe, only the courtier's fault is the one, please ask the emperor to punish it." ”
"Qi Mo, your lady is amazing, she just said that it was her fault, and she wanted me not to be angry, but if I didn't finish this, I wouldn't give me a chance to attack again."
The emperor's tone of voice was very relaxed, even a little ridiculous, and seemed to be smiling, which made Qi Ruo, who was kneeling on the ground, even more confused, only sighing that the emperor was worthy of being the emperor, and he couldn't touch his mind at all.
"Your Majesty, you have a lot of adults, spare my timid daughter-in-law."
Qi Mo said that he was going to help people up.
Qi Ruo looked at Qi Mo, and secretly glanced at the emperor, seeing that he didn't react, his heart was slightly fixed, and he was about to straighten up, but he heard him say with a tiger face: "Bold!" Zhen Guogong, do you have me in your eyes? ”
Qi Ruo was so frightened that he was about to kneel on the ground again, but was pulled hard by Qi Mo, only to see him looking at the emperor helplessly, and sighed: "Your Majesty, please beg you, my daughter-in-law and son have been scared out of a cold sweat by you, if I get sick, I will have to take leave again." ”
"You kid, are you threatening me?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, how dare the minister threaten you."
Qi Ruo can be sure that the relationship between the emperor and his husband is really not ordinary, could it be that Zhao Bingcheng said that the emperor wanted to use the matter of buying and selling saltpeter to use the topic to harm his husband and the king, but it was actually a trap?
"That's it, don't be scary, Mrs. Qi, sit down."
Qi Mo was unceremoniously, pulled Qi Ruo to sit aside, and urged Qi Ruo to take a sip of tea to suppress the shock.
"Don't get me wrong, Mrs. Qi, I'm still very friendly."
What can Qi Ruo say? I can only smile and nod, yes.
You are the emperor, you have the final say.
"By the way, the emperor, the minister's daughter-in-law wants to talk to you about business."
Qi Mo's words came unexpectedly, Qi Ruo was unprepared, or the emperor looked at her and asked before she reacted, and responded in a panic: "Huh? Oh, yes...... Only...... You are so powerful, you should know that you are ...... ice-making."
"The method of ice making has been held by the imperial court, but I didn't expect you to be able to figure it out."
The emperor had a smile in his eyes, but there was no trace of blame, Qi Ruo was even more suspicious that the previous incident was a trap, maybe it was to separate the relationship between the emperor and Qi Mo.
She steadied her mind and responded: "I see, no wonder Qi Mo asked me to use saltpeter to make it." ”
"It's also a daughter-in-law who is smart, otherwise she wouldn't be able to make ice."
Qi Mo's mouth was like being smeared with honey, and he praised his daughter-in-law as if no one was around.
The emperor looked at Qi Mo like this, and felt that he didn't eat sweets and had a toothache, but alas, this tooth mouth was getting worse and worse.
"What kind of business are you doing? You don't need to sell this method of making ice to the imperial court. ”
The emperor really didn't want to see these two people so crooked, so he simply came out to spoil the scenery.
Qi Ruo groaned slightly and said, "That's true!" But the courtiers still have an idea that is not in the stream, is the emperor willing to hear it? ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Man dies for wealth, and birds die for food. The imperial court wants to support officials, and it also supports many officers and soldiers, and it is a way to reduce expenditure, but the most important thing is to open source. Although it is said that it is a farmer and a businessman, and the merchant is the last, it is often the merchant who knows the most and can make the most money. And these pieces of silver are used as the treasury, what does the emperor think? ”
Qi Ruo saw that the emperor was interested, and knew that his method was good, and continued: "Although there have been foreign invasions and harassment in the frontier in recent years, but under the governance of the emperor, the great cadres are still safe and secure in the country, and the court itself can reduce taxes if it is open source, and the emperor is even more popular with the people." ”
Qi Ruo paused, felt that he seemed to be talking too much, and said again: "This is just the humble opinion of the courtiers, maybe a little narrow-minded, the emperor just thinks that the courtiers are laughing." ”
The emperor smiled heartily: "If you are narrow-minded, then how narrow the vision of the ministers of the court and the central government must be, and I am even more blind when I appoint these narrow-minded people to be ministers." I can't even think of these things, it's better than you as a woman. ”
The emperor laughed, the emperor has always been wise, and the ministers have done their best, and the courtiers' foolish opinion is absolutely unattainable, but they have picked up some omissions. It's just ......" Qi Ruo was happy to see the emperor, and he became a little bolder, "Who said that women are inferior to men?" The woman also wants to do a little bit for the stability of the country. ”
"A good woman is not as good as a man." The emperor clapped his hands and praised, and then answered, "I originally thought that I would give you some dividends, and use them as treasury and public use." ”
Qi Ruo dug a pit by herself and jumped, but she couldn't, so she had to turn her head and ask Qi Mo on the side for help, but she saw him gloating.
She couldn't help glaring at him fiercely, and looked at the emperor in a high position in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, this ...... The good courtiers are also hard-working......"
She asked tentatively, "One percent of the dividends should be shared, right?" We're going to eat, too. ”
"I didn't know that the silver issued by the imperial court to the prince of Zhenguo was not enough to support my wife." The emperor stared at Zhen Guogong with bad intentions, "Zhen Guogong, you have to reflect on it, going to the land of fireworks less is the right way." ”
As soon as Qi Ruo heard this, he turned his head and glared at Qi Mo fiercely, waiting for him to explain.
Qi Mo shouted injustice in his heart, he was also stabbed while he was sitting.
"Daughter-in-law, there's nothing to do. Your Majesty, you are good at your old business, let go of Weichen, didn't Weichen take a two-month vacation, and he will go to court in two days, just two days. ”
The emperor was satisfied, and the words changed: "Oh, I remembered wrong, it's not the kind of fireworks that the prince of Zhenguo likes to go to." ”
Qi Ruo couldn't cry or laugh, these two people, the king is not a minister or a minister, but it seems that the relationship is good.
"Mrs. Qi, I thought about it, one percent of the dividend can be given, but I want two percent, fifty percent of the treasury, and two percent of the money I have to bother you to find someone to do it, you have to be trustworthy, and make sure that you don't tell this matter."
Qi Ruo couldn't figure out the difference between the emperor himself asking for 20% and the treasury asking for 50%, just when the emperor was like her, he wanted to be prepared.
She didn't want to think about it, so she did it right now.
"Twenty percent should be able to do it. The courtiers had a personal choice in their hearts. ”
Qi Mo understood: "Yada? ”
Qi Ruo nodded: "Yada's father is also in the royal business, but his father only does a branch, and he is under Wang Ping." Their family is not from the Wang family, so they can't say anything in front of Wang Ping, and we don't look for him, but directly look for Yada, and his father should be able to pull him over. ”
The emperor knocked on the table casually with one hand, and smiled thoughtfully: "Interesting." ”
This matter is almost agreed, and it is left for the imperial court to control the amount of saltpeter released.
Qi Mo was confident: "Ruan Chen is busy." However, since Ruan Chen is the godbrother of the cheap, he should not have any opinions, and he will definitely do his best. ”
The emperor stretched out his index finger and pointed at Qi Mo: "You will calculate people." ”
Qi Mo bowed: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”
Qi Ruo only felt that these two people should be said to be each other.
After agreeing on this matter, Qi Mo and Qi Ruo didn't want to stay long, so as not to attract attention, but the two of them hadn't taken a few steps before they heard the emperor say again: "Qi Mo, you have a good vision, you are both talented and beautiful, and you should be worthy of the identity of the housemother." ”
Qi Mo didn't look back, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger: "I don't care if I am worthy of that identity or not, just if she wants to accompany me." ”
Qi Ruo was already confused, and when he saw Qi Mo looking back at him, he didn't know why, and in the end, he was pulled out of the tent by Qi Mo.
When he got outside, Qi Mo didn't forget to whisper: "The emperor is a king, and he is estranged from us, and he must show this even more in front of Prince Ren." ”
Qi Ruo instantly understood, this is what the master said that Yuanjing is a stormy place, with little warmth, and more intrigues.
"I remembered. I'll be careful. ”
After returning to the Zhenguo Mansion, Qi Ruo immediately asked Qi Mo to write a letter to Yada, asking him to go to Yuanjing as soon as possible and discuss something in detail. As for Steward Li, Qi Ruo didn't need to mention that Yada would also bring it.
