After the little sisters discussed for a while, Zhou Jin took Song Xingchen to the imperial study to meet the emperor.

Because the emperor was discussing the border with the ministers, the two could only wait outside, but Zhou Jin was anxious, and he couldn't wait for half an hour, so he broke into the imperial study directly.

The guards and chamberlains didn't dare to really stop Zhou Jin, for fear that they would hurt the little princess, and they would definitely lose their heads when they turned around.

"Father, the son has something important to report, and I ask the father to give the son a little time." Entering the imperial study, Zhou Jin saluted respectfully and looked directly at Long Yandao.

Although the emperor favored Zhou Jin, he also had a certain scale, especially in front of dozens of civil and military officials, he had to reprimand a few words, otherwise the imperial study would no longer be a majestic place, and it would damage the emperor's prestige.

"Nonsense, this is the imperial study, don't retreat quickly!" The emperor rebuked.

The first time she was taught by the emperor, she was still in front of outsiders, Zhou Jin was so aggrieved that she almost shed tears, but the pride of the royal family did not allow her to cry in front of people, so she could only hold back stiffly.

The other ministers hung their heads and pretended they hadn't seen or heard anything.

"Father, you fierce son! You don't hurt Zhaoyang anymore. Zhou Jin still couldn't hold back his grievances.

"Zhaoyang, if there is anything to wait for my father to deal with government affairs, go back now, and my father will summon you later." The emperor's tone softened a lot, and the most unseemly thing was Zhou Jin's tears.

"What Keerchen wants to say is also a national event, and it must be said now, otherwise it will be too late." Zhou Jin stood up, trotted to the emperor with the hem of her skirt, and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Really?" The emperor put on a smiling face, obviously genuinely happy.

"When did the son ever joke with his father? Since the father doesn't believe in the son, then if the son-in-law didn't say it, the son-in-law will take the county lord of Anran back to the palace now, and study how to build the princess's mansion, and it is best to spend all the money the son-in-law earned! Zhou Jin said in a three-point angry and seven-point coquettish tone.

"Zhaoyang, do you want your father to apologize to you in front of the courtiers?" The emperor lowered his voice and said, "No matter what, you shouldn't trespass into the imperial study, just let someone inform me." ”

"The son-in-law asked the chamberlain to report, but the father didn't see the son-in-law at all." Zhou Jin stomped his feet.

"Okay, okay, this time it's my father's mistake, my father shouldn't think that Zhaoyang is still the little girl who can only be coquettish, and she is already a little adult who knows how to share her father's worries." The emperor laughed and coaxed Zhou Jin a few words.

"My father hates it, adults are adults, why add a small word? Erchen is not his father and second brother, he is not tall, but Erchen is not a child for a long time. Zhou Jin turned around and didn't look at the emperor in a huff.

"Okay, Zhaoyang is an adult, and my father can't stay for a few more years." The emperor deliberately teased Zhou Jin, and when he saw Zhou Jin hanging his head shyly, he cleared his throat and said, "It is rumored that the county lord of Anran will meet you." ”

Dehai immediately sang and shouted, but the other courtiers were puzzled.

What is the importance of the Imperial Study? It's just that the princess trespasses, and a county lord without royal blood is also qualified to come in?

You know, in addition to the emperor, there are also these foreign ministers.

Song Xingchen didn't think about that, after all, she was a human being in two lives, and she couldn't avoid contact with men at work, not to mention that it was not the first time she came to the imperial study.

"Knock on the emperor safely, long live the emperor, long live long live." Song Xingchen paid homage according to the courtesy, and complained again in his heart about these broken rules of the ancients, can't he speak well when he stands?

Well, because he has been integrated into this era for too long, Song Xingchen is no longer looking forward to being able to sit down and talk on an equal footing, and it is good to be able to stand.

"Just now the princess said that you intend to set up a rescue team, I am a little interested, there is a group of Aiqing here, you can talk about it in detail, I and all Aiqing listen to see if it is feasible." The emperor's tone was pleasant.

The corners of Song Xingchen's mouth twitched, he already understood what the emperor meant, this clearly showed that he wanted to 'exploit' the courtiers, but through her mouth, the emperor could not offend anyone at all.

The courtiers also exchanged glances with each other, and from the attitude of the emperor talking to Zhou Jin just now, they knew that the emperor agreed, and could they disobey the emperor's will and say that it was not good?

The people below had their own thoughts, only Zhou Jin was idle and bored, so he stood behind the dragon chair and massaged the emperor's shoulder.

The emperor, who squinted his eyes and enjoyed it, secretly thought: It is good to give birth to a daughter, everything is intimate, not only is the massage technique good, but also solves the problem for him, and even handing over a handkerchief is a contribution to the court and sharing his worries.

"Back to the emperor, the princess has discussed with the courtiers, this rescue team ......" Song Xingchen slowly expressed his meaning, and put the emperor's meaning in, but did not indicate whether it was her meaning or Zhou Jin's meaning, so as not to offend a bunch of people for no reason, "Of course, this is just some ideas and suggestions of the princess and the courtiers, and more people are needed to participate in the implementation, so that the soldiers on the front line can have no worries, and they will be more grateful to the emperor of heaven." ”

After Song Xingchen finished speaking, the faces of the courtiers sank, and no one was happy to see it at all.

It's just that everyone understands that the emperor must be very satisfied with the establishment of this rescue team, and if they want not to bleed, that is, they will not obey the emperor's heart, and wait to wear small shoes in the future.

"Zhaoyang and An Ran's idea, I think it's good, but it's still a little immature." The emperor commented, swept to the courtiers and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?" ”

The ministers responded in unison: "The emperor is sage." ”

The emperor's smile cooled down a little, and he raised his tone and said, "Don't you think that this method is not feasible, it's just that the two little girls are messing around, so they don't want to make suggestions?" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the lord of this county is only shallow, but when he was doing business, he heard such a sentence, 'one side is in trouble and all sides support', so I have always thought that the country has something to do, and as a courtier, the people should contribute their efforts. Even if it is a daughter, she has to do her best for the country, but there is no place for women on the battlefield, so under the inspiration of the princess, she wants to do a good job of assistance in the rear. Song Xingchen gave a deep salute.

"Your lords are the pillars of the court, and you may think that the princess proposed this matter to the lord of the county, but the lord of the county was born in a poor family, and I heard the older generation mention that in the era of illness and chaos in the past, the people were most afraid of conscription. Not only do most of the recruits never return, but it also makes a family lose the strong labor force they rely on to survive, and it will be difficult to live in peace from now on, not only making ends meet, but also being bullied. ”

"The lord of this county was born into a peasant family, lived a precarious life, and can best understand the helplessness of ordinary people. The lord of this county is still lucky, born in a peaceful and prosperous era, his parents are alive and protected by his brothers and sisters, and he faces a situation of no cure when he is injured due to poverty. Let's ask, how should their families survive after losing their loved ones? ”

"Of course, the lord of this county will still pray for the blessings of the thousands of soldiers, hoping that they can all return safely. But the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and even if the mortality rate is the lowest in this dynasty, it is inevitable that there will be family breakdowns. We can't afford to save all the families, but we can give the best backup to the soldiers, so that more people can come back alive, which is a matter of great merit, and I hope you can look at this matter carefully. ”

After Song Xingchen finished speaking, he turned his head and bowed in the direction of the emperor, "The courtiers are friendly with the princess, because they are willing to advance and retreat with the princess." The princess was willing to use her princess's mansion and all her private money to do her part for the soldiers, and the courtiers were willing to donate two-thirds of the three hundred and seventy-six grain shops under their names, and all the dowries were auctioned publicly, just to make some compensation for the casualties. ”

"Stars, too many!" Zhou Jin couldn't help but say loudly: "A woman's dowry is a lifelong dependence, and it can't be auctioned, don't be impulsive!" ”

"Princess, I have no impulses." Song Xingchen raised his head and said with a light smile: "The lives of people in the world are extremely valuable, not measured by silver, what can be exchanged for the peace of mind of those casualties and soldiers, in exchange for countless families can live in peace." The dowry is gone, and the courtiers still have a business to make money, and the courtiers feel that it is worth it! ”

"Well said!" The emperor applauded, looked at Song Xingchen appreciatively, and swept some ministers with ugly faces, but deliberately asked: "An Ran, why did you only donate two-thirds of the grain, is it because you are afraid of losing too much, or is your ability to afford it?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the courtiers just said that they had experienced hardships and filled their stomachs, and the people would never forget it in their lives. At the beginning, the people's daughters opened grain shops in various places, not for the purpose of making money, but in the hope that whether it was a bumper harvest year or a year of natural and man-made disasters, the people could buy affordable grain, and would not be separated for a mouthful of two grains. The courtiers were willing to donate grain, but they did not want the chaos of food prices in the market to cause a burden and unrest to the people. Song Xingchen raised his head, not ashamed of his background at all, and his expression was not inferior to that of a man.

"Father, the sons can testify for the stars." Zhou Jin walked to the dragon chair and said with honor: "All the fields and Zhuangzi under the name of the Song family have entered the grain shop at the lowest price, and the people go to the grain shop to sell grain, but it is the highest price in the market, and the lowest price in the market to buy grain. ”

No matter how many ministers believed Zhou Jin's words, the emperor had long known about it, as an emperor, he had to know where the grain in the world went, otherwise if there was a real war, these grain merchants could use the way of raising the price of grain to bring disaster to the country and the people.

The emperor has always expressed his appreciation for the Song family's means of doing business.

When it is time to make profits, they will never be soft, but when it is time to accumulate blessings, the Song family will never be greedy for a penny, that is, the Song family will become the richest man in the world, and the emperor will not rise to the Song family's mind, unless they collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, otherwise they will lose the hearts of the people in the world.

"The Great Zhou State can have courtiers like the Song family, which is really a blessing for the country, and it is also a blessing for the people." The emperor was happy for a while, and waved four big characters in his hand: Fushan House.

"The House of Blessings. Father, we're getting down to business, what are you doing here? Zhou Jin asked with an ignorant expression.
