043 There will be no good meeting
After finally finishing the afternoon class, Zhang Qiaoyu suddenly asked, "What kind of person does Xuanji think the prince is?" ”
Xuanji hesitated for a moment and asked carefully, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" ”
"I think I know your answer......" Zhang Qiaoyu said with a smile.
"This king would like to hear from you personally." With the words, Zhao Jianshen pushed the door and walked into the study.
Xuanji looked at Zhang Qiaoyu sadly, knowing that the big tiger was outside, why did she frame her?
Zhang Qiaoyu's eyes were innocent, he really didn't hear Zhao Jianshen's footsteps, hey! This student's martial arts have improved again, and he can lie on the beach as a dry corpse.
"I remember that there are still important accounts in the account room that have not been processed, Lord Wang, Grandpa Zhang, I will retire first!" The voice of "Grandpa Zhang" was particularly affectionate, and he gave a pitiful look by the way.
Zhang Qiaoyu also went up, smiled and grabbed Zhao Jianshen and said: "The prince came just in time, and the old man has some things to discuss with the prince." ”
Zhao Jianshen glanced at the two of them, and finally said kindly: "Go!" ”
If Xuanji is amnesty, she can't wait to find a pot lid and run away.
"Don't push her too hard, it's not too late to take it slow at night." Zhang Qiaoyu suggested with a smile.
Xuanji didn't eat dinner in the evening, and explained that Ke'er said that no matter who came, she said that she was unwell and had fallen asleep, and hoped that the prince and nobles of Zhao would be busy, and they would not really arrest her and endorse her.
Ke'er was anxious and helpless, originally found out that Shen Jian turned out to be Zhao Jianshen, the seventh prince of Ji Guo, thinking that he had become a maid in the palace by mistake, and he was excited and didn't sleep well for several days, but when he arrived at the palace, he found that not only the original Yunge girl had become Miss Xie Xuanji, but even his identity had changed from Shen Jian's concubine to Zhao Jianshen's account manager.
The position of the chief manager of the palace is naturally not low, but compared with the princess's side concubine, who is one step away from the princess's position, the gap in Ke'er's mind is big! One is the possible future hostess of the palace, and the other is a subordinate of the palace, can it be compared?
If it is said that the prince has no interest in the young lady, then forget it, but Ke'er obviously saw the prince on the road who doted on the young lady, so that as a woman, she didn't know how many times, even if she returned to the palace and changed her identity, the prince often let the young lady accompany her. But look at the attitude of the young lady, she is like a snake and scorpion!
Does she know that the prince is the best husband candidate in the minds of all the women in Ji Kingdom, she doesn't want it, and the crowd outside can fill the three capitals.
At night, Zhao Zheng, the captain of the guard, really came to the door, and after hearing Ke'er say that Xuanji was uncomfortable and fell asleep, he said with an expressionless face in a voice heard by the whole courtyard: "Please return to Miss Xie, the prince said, if Miss Xie is not feeling well, he will come to visit in person." ”
But for a moment, Xuanji appeared in front of the door of Tingsongju with a wry smile on her face.
A smile flashed in Zhao Zheng's eyes, Xuanji saw the evil and gall, and quickly stepped up and grabbed Zhao Zheng's sleeve, and deliberately shouted: "Brother Zhao." ”
Zhao Zheng was so frightened that he was "shocked" and retreated in embarrassment.
Xuanji was proud, laughed, laughed so that Zhao Zheng's face changed from red to black, from black to white, and finally said helplessly: "Why do you love to play tricks on people like this." ”
"I really treat you as a big brother, but you all join forces with the prince to bully me as a weak woman, hum."
"How can Zhao be Miss's eldest brother...... Don't let the prince wait for a long time, the other stewards are also preparing for a meeting. "Zhao Zheng is actually like everyone else in the palace, he likes Xuanji very much, and he also treats her as a sister in his heart, so he hopes that she will not miss the prince, but Xuanji doesn't seem to appreciate this feeling.
Every few days in the prince's study, some stewards will gather to discuss affairs, at first everyone is very unaccustomed to a woman's participation, after a few times, slowly get used to it, the most important thing is that this woman never speaks, always sits quietly aside, so that people can hardly feel her presence.
Before entering the door, Zhao Zheng whispered to Xuanji: "The prince instructed, in the meeting later, the young lady must listen carefully to the speech of each steward, the prince will ask at any time, if you can't answer, you can't sleep tonight." ”
When Xuanji heard this, her little face immediately collapsed. scolded a few words of "inhumanity", walked into the study in a gloomy manner, and sat honestly next to Zhang Qiaoyu.
In order to avoid others from connecting the Shen family with the palace, it took a lot of trouble to enter the palace, and when Xuanji arrived, the stewards had just arrived.
Among them, several Xuanji had only recently met in the Silver Building, and they were also acquaintances. Each of them reported the situation of their respective industries and their next plans, and asked Zhao Jianshen for instructions.
When Xuanji heard this, she naturally understood the purpose of letting her come, and resigned herself to picking up a pen and paper while listening and calculating each cost input.
"What to do with the inferior cloth that was produced several years ago that Steward Li said in the warehouse, thank Steward Steward, tell me your opinion." Xuanji was staring at the accounts in front of him in a daze, and Zhao Jianshen suddenly flew out of the sky and said.
Xuanji blinked and looked at the big boss innocently, although the other party's expression was very flat, but she just saw the threat in it - if you can't answer, don't want to sleep at night!
The brain quickly turned around, and he said: "I just heard that the shopkeeper Deng of Mi Xing said that there was a great drought in Tuozhou, there was no harvest, the people had no food and clothing, and the imperial court was successively transporting materials and grain for relief, I thought if I could sell these fabrics to the imperial court cheaply for the victims to make clothes and quilts to keep out the cold?" ”
Selling inferior goods to the imperial court is something that others dare not think of, but it is good to think about it, the victims are not picky, and it is good to have clothes to keep out the cold, at this time the summer has passed halfway, but Tuozhou is located in the north of the country, and it will be cold and biting in a month or two. The quality of these old fabrics is not good, and it is even more difficult to sell in the rich land of the capital, and the cost of transporting them to other places increases, and they may not be sold smoothly.
Of course, to be able to sell such a batch of inferior products to the imperial court, you have to rely on the relationship of the prince, and it may not be feasible to exchange them to other merchants.
The more Steward Li thought about it, the more feasible he felt, and hurriedly agreed.
The other stewards were also impressed by Xuanji, but some people secretly wondered if someone had instructed her in advance so that this woman could show her face in front of the steward? Even if this person is not the prince himself, he must be a close friend of the prince, so he naturally wants to take the opportunity to pat himself on the back, and for a while, the voices of approval in the study came and went.
Zhao Jianshen didn't seem to want Xuanji to be too proud, so he changed the topic and continued to discuss the things on the side, just when Xuanji thought that the alarm was lifted, he suddenly heard another sentence: "The drought in Tuozhou is very likely to cause a locust plague, and there are Shen's farms in several states and counties near Tuozhou, can you be prepared?" ”
When Xuanji heard this, she was relieved, fortunately, when she was a child, she watched a TV documentary introducing the experience of exterminating locusts in Xinjiang, and she was not afraid to be asked.
Several stewards looked at each other, Steward Deng in charge of the rice store and Steward Liu in charge of the farm looked bad, the rice shop was fine, the supply was in short supply, and the old rice could be cleared out somewhat, but the Shen family had never done anything to make a fortune, and it was inevitable that they would lose money. The farm's life is miserable, and there is really no way to fight against this terrible natural disaster except to pray to God and worship Buddha.
But since the prince asked, he had to come up with some conventional methods, such as training people to prepare for the locust plague when they can fight, trying to hurry up the harvest time, and so on.
Zhang Qiaoyu looked up at the corners of Xuanji's mouth slightly curved, her expression relaxed, guessing that this little woman might have any special opinions, so she asked, "Steward Xie has a way to deal with the locust plague?" ”
