Chapter 154: The Emperor's Calculations

Zhou Mujiao sighed: "Two, I'm afraid of heights, can you let me go back to the ground?" I can go on my own. ”

"The emperor is invited."

"I know the emperor is looking for me, but the emperor doesn't stipulate that you must drive me to the roof, right?"

She is not really afraid of heights, but she doesn't like to be pinched by others, and being carried away like this, she always feels that the next moment they will be unstable, causing her to fall.

Fortunately, the two of them have good arm strength and fast figures, and Fenghua Palace is not too far from Shangyang Palace, and after a while, she saw the emperor.

The emperor has changed his clothes, it is a lake-colored robe, and the jade crown on his head has also been removed, maybe in his own study, surrounded by people he trusts, he has relaxed a lot, and he also showed a trace of exhaustion.

Zhou Mujiao looked left and right when she came in, and she didn't see Zhao Yunjing's figure, and there were only two people in the imperial study, she and the emperor, although there were eunuchs at the door and guards in the dark, but if you want to take care of it, you can be regarded as a lonely man and a widow.

"Don't look at it, I let Zhao Yunjing out of the palace, and I will be here with you two tonight." The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Are you finally scared?" ”

"I'm afraid."

"I know that I am afraid, and I dare to talk nonsense in Fenghua Palace?"

Zhou Mujiao smiled faintly: "Princess Jinling took a fancy to Zhao Yunjing and regarded me as a thorn in her side, I just don't talk nonsense, kneel down and beg her, she will still cure my crimes, sooner or later I will die, it is better to take advantage of the last time to make my mouth happy." ”

"Your temperament is somewhat similar to an old man of mine." The emperor stared at her for a while, but he didn't say anything more, but changed the subject, "It's late, Lone doesn't beat around the bush, Miss Zhou, Lone needs your compressed and dry formula." ”

"How much does the emperor plan to offer?"

"Originally, Lone could directly ask you to hand over the prescription."

"What is the difference between a negotiation that doesn't give money and a robbery?" Zhou Mujiao spread her hands, "Your Majesty, I worked hard to figure it out, I can give you the recipe, but you can't make me and my workers hungry." We have a total of three or four thousand workers in our workshops all over the country, and as soon as this line stops, they will lose their jobs in an instant. ”

"The emperor has been observing the people's feelings all the way back, and he also knows how important a stable job and a stable income are to an ordinary farmer, with this labor, their sons can go to the academy, and they don't have to sell their daughters to others or marry them off at will in order to get a daughter-in-law for their sons. If you have a sick person at home, you can have money in your hand, and you can also fight for more chances for your family to live. ”

Zhou Mujiao had a serious face: "Some people use money to continue their lives, and the money in the hands of the poor is life-saving money." It is said that the emperor loves the people like a son, so please ask the emperor to have mercy on us children who are not so decent! ”

The emperor sighed: "Your mouth is really powerful, black can also be said to be white, no wonder Sixteen can't please you in your hands, but it's a pity that you are not a man, otherwise you can be a lonely right-hand man with Yun Jing." ”

Zhou Mujiao didn't answer, with an ancient, this ancient man is still an emperor, talking about the equality of men and women, which is even more outrageous than the Arabian Night.

"Miss Zhou, the border of Daliang has not been peaceful in recent years, and the Khitan always fights at both ends for three days, but because the Khitan side has complex terrain, perennial snow, and many swamps, our soldiers tried their best to take down the Khitan, and finally returned in vain because of the problems of grain and grass and warmth."

"So the emperor not only wants the people's daughter's compressed biscuits, but also the people's daughter's thermal blanket?"

"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, these words are from the mouth of Miss Zhou, right?" The emperor smiled, "Then please Miss Zhou do what she says." ”

I want the horses to run, but I don't want the horses to graze, this emperor is really thick-skinned, and he really robs it.

Zhou Mujiao thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I won't hand over the recipe, but I can guarantee that the supply will be given priority to the camp, and if the fight really starts, I can also donate enough biscuits and thermal blankets for free, but for now, the people's girls still want to take care of the stomachs of my workers first." ”

"You have the guts to borrow from heaven?" The emperor stared at her, feeling more and more familiar to her, "Who are your parents?" ”

Zhou Mujiao's heart jumped, but her face was not obvious: "Zhou Wenchu, the father of the Minnu, and Bai Xiuzhu, the mother of the Minnu, both of them were ordinary villagers, and they both passed away one after another when the Minnu was nine years old. Minnu also has a younger brother, called Xiao Wu, whose name is Zhou Anping, and the Xiao Jiu in the family is my cousin. ”

"The rest are Brother Zhao's parents and younger siblings, oh, and there is a down-and-out merchant and his sick mother who gave his deed to me because his mother was seriously ill. There are also six people in the nursing home, two of whom are women's ......"

Zhou Mujiao talked endlessly, hearing the emperor's headache, she can really say it, he asked, and she was about to explain the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Zhou family.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The fourth sister-in-law suffered that kind of humiliation, of course, she couldn't live, so she hanged herself with a rope, and the fourth uncle was also beaten to death by a stick in a few days, Xiao Jiu became a child who no one cared about, and was driven out by the eldest uncle, I am kind, I don't care about his parents' malice towards me and Xiao Wu, I took him to the house, many people have more pairs of chopsticks, one person eats less, and the cub's rations are saved, what a big deal. ”

And boastful!

The emperor somewhat understood why Zhao Yunjing was attracted to her.

Although there are not three thousand in his harem, there should be hundreds of people, but none of them are as fresh and energetic as her, looking at her eyebrows fluttering, it is impossible to say that there is no idea.

Men in the world love beauties and beauties with personality, and he is naturally no exception, but when he thought that a person like Zhou Mujiao would turn the harem upside down when he entered the palace, his thoughts disappeared in an instant.

The emperor said: "Although what you said is fantastic, and there is some truth in it, but the recipe for compressing biscuits and thermal blankets still has to be given to Lone." But Lone promises not to starve you and the people under you. ”

"Huh?"

"I will take the recipe, this is a sharp weapon of the country, a big killing move, and a magic weapon to control the enemy, I must guarantee that it will not fall into the hands of other countries. Lone doesn't lie to you, it's you, and Lone won't believe it all, let alone the merchant surnamed Tang. The profiteer only has profit in his eyes, and if someone gives him enough profit one day, he will be able to sell the formula by turning around. ”

"Your Majesty, the people's daughters are also businessmen, and the people's daughters don't do anything that has no interests."

"This is a holy decree, you have to pay it if you don't pay it!"

Zhou Mujiao respectfully handed over two prescriptions: "The people's daughter obeys the order." ”

The emperor was almost angry: "You were ready early in the morning, why do you want to hand it over to you?" ”

"The people's daughter is naΓ―ve, thinking that the emperor is discussing with the people's daughter, if the emperor comes up and directly makes a holy decree, the people's daughter will definitely hand over the prescription without saying a word."

Pinching the two thin pieces of paper, the emperor wanted to have a seizure, but he held back, he pointed to the door, his forehead jumped: "You get out of here!" ”

When the words were released, the emperor realized that his tone was like teaching his own children, and he didn't feel offended, but had a strange sense of closeness.

Strange, how could a village girl make him want to be close? Could it be that she is his exiled princess?
