Empress Dowager Li sighed, touched Emperor Wanli's head and said, "Long live Lord, even if the mourning family gives you a Huangzhuang, I'm afraid it's useless!" Among the imperial estates in the palace, except for a few special imperial villages, ordinary imperial estates do not have much output at all! And those special imperial villages, the things produced must be maintained in the palace, and it is impossible to assign them to the Banzai Lord to do evil! So you'd better die of this heart! ”

Emperor Wanli hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, I really don't want those special Zhuangzi, just an ordinary Zhuangzi!" I think Liuzhuang is a good choice! The population is not much, it is easy to manage, and it is close to Jingshi! ”

Empress Dowager Li thought about it when she heard the name of Liuzhuang, and felt completely impressed. But with her understanding of Emperor Wanli, his request for Liuzhuang was definitely not untargeted, there must be something special there! I just want Emperor Wanli to be honest, but it's not necessarily!

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Li said directly to the palace maid beside her: "Long live the companion of the Lord is outside the palace, right?" Call him in! ”

Because it is in the queen mother's bedroom, although Zhang Jia is the companion of Emperor Wanli, he does not need to be served in front of him. After all, there are people in the Queen Mother's Palace, so he has been waiting outside the palace, and by the way, he also rubbed a small stove of the Queen Mother's Palace.

Because of his identity, the palace people here are very stammered, but he is not happy to eat this meal. Because he knew all the plans of Emperor Wanli, he couldn't say that he would be brought over by Empress Dowager Li for questioning, and if he didn't get it, he would have to eat a board! So he has been waiting until now, but sure enough, the Empress Dowager Li sent someone to announce him!

But at this time, he put his heart in his stomach instead, anyway, he was already on the verge of battle, and it was a knife to stretch out his head, and it was also a knife to shrink his head, just follow the plan!

Zhang Jia entered the palace and saw the Queen Mother and immediately knelt down to give a salute, and the Empress Dowager Li was annoyed that he and Emperor Wanli had something to hide from her, so she didn't open her mouth to let him get up at all! This is already a big humiliation for Zhang Jia's identity! After all, it also depends on the owner to beat the dog! After all, he is today's companion!

But at this time, Zhang Jia didn't dare to have any extra thoughts, just knelt there and listened to Empress Dowager Li say: "Zhang Jia, you are the personal companion of Long Live Lord, you know many things." The mourning family asked you, whose idea was it for the Lord to manage an imperial village? ”

Zhang Jia lowered his head and said loudly: "Hui Niangniang, it is the idea of Liu Haojia, the second son of Gu Ningbo's Mansion!" ”

Empress Dowager Li then asked: "Is it to raise money to build a martial arts hall with the Lord of Long Live to make an imperial village?" ”

The Zhang family still lowered their heads and said: "Back to Niangniang, it's true!" ”

Seeing that Zhang Jia's answer was honest, Empress Dowager Li felt much more relaxed. He softened his voice and said, "Get up and talk back!" ”

Zhang Jia thanked Empress Dowager Li, got up and still stood there with his head bowed. Then Empress Dowager Li then asked: "What is this Liu Haojia'an's mind?" Long live the Lord to manage a Zhuangzi, wouldn't it be laughed at by the people of the world when it is passed out! Besides, how much money can a royal village get? Squeeze out the bones of those bankers and make a few more bucks! ”

Zhang Jia said: "Hui Niangniang, I also asked about this long live master, but Liu Haojia didn't say it, only said that he had a secret method to earn a lot of silver, and at the same time it didn't hurt the people!" He also said that it can easily make the bankers rich! He also said that if he couldn't do it, he would use his own head to compensate! ”

Li Kaihou's heart moved when he heard it! At this time, she felt that Liu Haojia should not be lying! Because in this day and age, it is absolutely impossible to adulterate the words of the head! Especially since Gu Ningbo's Mansion is just a low-level earl, if Empress Dowager Li wants to pull out Gu Ningbo's Mansion, she doesn't even have to make too much effort! So Liu Haojia dares to say this, he must hold it!

She pondered for a moment and asked, "This Liuzhuang is what Liu Haojia wants?" ”

He said: "It was the slave who chose a few Huangzhuang to come out, and he circled them." As for the reason why he chose Liuzhuang, the slave maid also doesn't know! ”

Empress Dowager Li thought about it, but still had no impression of Liuzhuang at all, so she said: "What is the output of this Liuzhuang, or what is special about it?" ”

He said: "Back to Niangniang, the slave maid also checked the documents, there is nothing surprising about this Liuzhuang!" There are a total of 376 households in Liuzhuang, with a total of more than 1,600 people. The main output is grain and vegetables. There are also no mines here. By the way, there is also a porcelain kiln in Liuzhuang, which burns some porcelain for the palace on weekdays. However, they are all for low-level palace people, and they are also sold to the outside world. ”

Empress Dowager Li thought about Zhang Jia's words over and over again, but she didn't think there was anything surprising about Liuzhuang. But to say that the only extra place in this Liuzhuang is probably the porcelain kiln! Empress Dowager Li said: "Could it be that this little monkey wants to make some ideas on the porcelain kiln? ”

Zhang Jia said: "The slave maid also thinks so, so the slave maid inquired about the situation of the porcelain kiln in detail. I found that there were no skilled craftsmen there. And the slave maid also asked the craftsmen who fired porcelain in the palace, and they said that the porcelain firing craft is important, but the more important thing is the porcelain clay! And there is no good porcelain clay near Jingshi, so the porcelain fired is just ordinary! But if you transport the best porcelain clay from other places, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses, and even if you burn the best porcelain, you will not be able to recover the cost! ”

Empress Dowager Li asked a lot of questions repeatedly, and felt that there was no problem before sending Zhang Jia out. Then he looked at Emperor Wanli, who pretended to be pure-faced, and said: "Long live Lord, what are your ideas to talk to the mourning family!" ”

Emperor Wanli said angrily: "Queen Mother, it's just that I don't say it, it's just that Liu Haojia bit his mouth to death, and he just doesn't tell the truth!" In fact, there is another thing, that is, he once said that if he can't do what he says, he is willing to offer the secret recipe of snow sugar and Shiweizhai seasoning with both hands! I thought about it, he even pressed his head, and those two secret recipes didn't matter, so he didn't tell the queen mother! ”

Empress Dowager Li knew that the secret recipe for snow sugar and cooking was the basis for Gu Ningbo's mansion to turn over, if he was willing to take out these two things as collateral, then he really had great certainty! Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Li said in a deep voice: "Long live Lord, if you want to take this imperial village in your hands, it is not impossible, but you have to promise a few things to the mourning family!" ”

Emperor Wanli saw that Empress Dowager Li was relieved, and immediately said: "Please ask the queen mother, please command, the child must do it!" ”

Empress Dowager Li said slowly: "The first thing, no matter what you and Liu Haojia want to do, you must not harm the livelihood of the villagers, and you must not fish with all your might!" If this is the case, the mourning family will immediately take back Zhuangzi! ”
