Chapter 124: The Jedi Counterattack of the Refugees
Qian San, the official of the Purchase Bureau, accompanied Su Ruanmei and Wang Gonggong to inspect the warehouse, and nodded to Su Ruanmei and said.
Su Ruanmei saw that Qian San was obviously asking for credit, so he had already driven these things out in time, and it was understandable to give him more reward money at that time.
"This palace knows the hard work of the money officials and workers, and when the fundraising meeting is over, this palace will ask His Majesty for credit, and it will also lose a great credit to your bureau."
Su Ruanmei asked Qian San's full name when she said this, and Qian San immediately wrote Qian San in the palm of her hand, for fear that Su Ruanmei would forget his name.
"Well, Qian San, it's a good name, this palace remembers that there seems to be a rich country that is also called San."
Su Ruanmei pondered for a long time, and Wang Gonggong and Qian San were also confused.
"By the way, Shen Wansan, yes, Shen Wansan, do you know each other?"
After Su Ruanmei finished speaking, the princess shook his head, and Qian San also scratched his neck inexplicably.
Su Ruanmei saw that neither of them knew Shen Wansan, and then realized that this Shen Wansan seemed to be born hundreds of years later than them.
Su Ruanmei smiled a little embarrassed.
"This is a rich man in the hometown of this palace, and it's normal that you don't know each other."
When Su Ruanmei said this, Wang Gonggong and Qian San laughed again.
Then Qian San took out some of the products in it and asked Su Ruanmei to personally accept it, Su Ruanmei took off her shoes and tried the clogs directly, not wanting the princess and Qian San to turn around a long time ago.
"Princess, money steward, what are you?"
Before Su Ruanmei finished speaking, the princess said a little shyly.
"How can Su Yan show his feet in public, how can this make the old slave really deal with himself."
After Wang Gonggong finished speaking, Qian San also buried his head very low.
Seeing that they were so pedantic, Su Ruanmei said with a smile.
"This palace wears socks, I think this clogs are designed for women, if they are all barefoot, who would dare to buy them, of course, you have to wear opaque and refreshing socks in advance."
After Su Ruanmei finished speaking, she walked in front of Wang Gonggong and Qian San in clogs, and they saw that Su Yanren was indeed wearing socks, and wearing clogs not only did not feel abrupt, but was beautiful and cute.
"Oh, the old slave has lived for so long, and I really haven't seen a woman wearing clogs so good-looking, I think I am Su Changren, who was born with the beauty of the country, so he can control this pimple."
After a burst of praise from the princess, Qian San was also unwilling, and he also stammered.
"What the prince said is very true, I think this clogs are loved by the Tang people, I advocate women's foot binding, clogs are gradually unpopular, and now Su Ruanmei has set a precedent, thinking that this clogs are going to be all the rage, Su Yan people are not only beautiful and kind-hearted, but also unexpected, Qian San admires, admires."
Qian San said and gave his hand to Su Ruanmei again and again.
Su Ruanmei listened to the compliments of these two people, and she was also complacent.
"And what do you think of this one-piece dress."
Su Ruanmei easily took down a floral blue-bottomed skirt from the shelf next to her, and she hung the skirt on herself, and the princess and Qian San immediately clapped their hands again.
"And what about this velvet flower?"
Su Ruanmei couldn't extricate herself as soon as she was greedy for vanity, and then she took out a lot of things for Wang Gonggong and Qian San to evaluate, until Wang Gonggong and Qian San were dumbfounded, and their mouths were dry, but they were still clapping for her.
After Su Ruanmei and Wang Gonggong accepted the goods of the purchase office, Qian San asked the porter of the purchase office to pack all the things, and let the princess do the things that were originally escorted, but Su Ruanmei felt that these things would come in handy tomorrow, if there was any mistake in the escort, then she couldn't afford to be guilty, so she still walked on it herself before she could rest assured.
Su Ruanmei and the princess escorted the goods out of the West City Gate, and saw countless refugees squatting at the city gate, and some set up simple tents in the open space outside the city gate.
"Su Changren, why do you say that you must hold a fundraising bazaar in the western suburbs, and it is the same to find a lively place in the city, you see that there are the most refugees gathered here, if they have any evil thoughts, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to keep these things."
The prince rode a horse and said to Su Ruanmei with a slight complaint.
Su Ruanmei was also riding a horse, and she also felt a little helpless about the princess's complaints.
"The prince doesn't know, the venue of this fundraising bazaar must be found in an open place, and there is no need for venue rental fees, I want to rent every inch of land in Zhongzhou City, to rent such a large venue will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, not to mention the cost of temporary construction and organization, not to mention that His Majesty in addition to giving the palace a will, also did not give me extra silver, I am also a good woman difficult to cook without rice."
Su Ruanmei said this, the princess bowed to Su Ruanmei, in fact, Su Ruanmei only said the superficial reason, but did not say the root cause, the reason why Su Ruanmei will hold a fundraising bazaar in the western suburbs, that is because King Zheng's courtyard is in the western suburbs, I think I must be on this ground must be King Zheng's people, more or less can be taken care of by them, and the last time she returned to the palace from Zhengzhuang, she just saw an excellent open place, and it is also good to think that I will hold a fundraising bazaar there.
When the convoy entered a poplar forest, Wang Gonggong asked everyone to be vigilant, because this poplar tree was tall and dense, and it was easy to block the view, if someone attacked the convoy at this time, then it would be difficult for him and Su Ruanmei to escape from here.
"Money steward, the miscellaneous family feels a little unsafe here, it seems that King Zheng has a Zhuangzi near here, you find a fast porter to quietly walk through the poplar forest, go and ask the Zhuangzi to be guided, remember, you must be fast, don't delay."
After the prince finished speaking, the money steward nodded again and again.
After the money manager got things done, the convoy continued to move forward.
Just as the convoy was about to leave the poplar forest, a large rock was placed at the exit of the poplar forest.
When Su Ruanmei saw this stone, she knew that someone was going to collect tolls.
As soon as Su Ruanmei thought about it, the prince ordered everyone to immediately turn their horses' heads, and behind them, a group of strong men dressed in tatters were already surrounded.
"Things are left behind, people can go."
The leader was a man with straw on his head and broken straw shoes on his feet, and the man was bare-chested, with a dirty face, and he couldn't see what he looked like.
When the prince saw that these refugees were going to block the road and rob, he scolded sharply.
"You dogs, you don't know what to do, the reason why our master took these things and sold them was to exchange them for food rations for you, and now you are still beating a rake, it's just ......"
Before the prince could finish speaking, a stone flew out of the pile of refugees, and the stone hit the prince on the forehead.
The prince covered his forehead, and the blood couldn't stop flowing out, and the money steward was also trembling with fright when he saw the prince being beaten.
"There's too much nonsense, puppy, you bring someone over to take a look."
