After a series of discussions, the Panlong Kingdom finally aimed the breakthrough at the second princess, after all, she did not confess their people like the eldest princess before, which proved that there was a chance to cooperate.

The second princess originally didn't want to see these people, but after thinking about it, they promised to help her ascend the throne as the empress, but they didn't take any substantive action, and the result was cheaper than the current new emperor.

Now the sixth prince who has ascended the throne seems to want to establish a good relationship with her, as for what the purpose is, everyone knows it, but she is not stupid.

Since she wants to pull down the eldest princess, then there are some things that she can't dirty her hands, so she secretly asked her henchmen to meet the people of Panlong Kingdom, and in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, she also let one of her secret guards follow.

The two sides sped on for two hours before they left one after another, and the content of the discussion between the two sides reached the ears of Ripples in less than half an hour.

"Empress, Panlong Kingdom wants to sell us the surplus grain in their country, saying that it is to help the second princess, so that she can have enough confidence to do things after she has food, and they also promise to sell it to Fengqi Kingdom at a price lower than the market price of three cents per catty."

"With such a good bargaining chip, what are the conditions of the Panlong Kingdom?"

Ripples won't believe that pies will fall from the sky.

"Let their grain convoy enter the Fengqi Country and allow them to sell other things."

"I remember that there is a special trading market with Panlong Country, and they want to open a new trading market?"

"They want to go to the five occupied cities, and they also gave the reason, after all, after the city was occupied, the people of Panlong Country did not leave, but continued to live in the city, and they also had some relatives and friends who wanted to take them back."

"Humph! I'm afraid that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink! What did the second princess say? ”

Her confidant replied that she could only let them go to one of the cities and let them think about it, and the two sides were still arguing.

However, the henchman inadvertently leaked his mouth, and let the other party know the whereabouts of the Three Princesses and the city where they are located."

After Feng Shou replied, he lowered his eyes and stood aside.

Ripple was a little angry, she didn't know whether to say that the second princess was smart or stupid, she knew that she borrowed a knife to kill people, used the people of Panlong Country to eradicate the third princess for her, and she could also drag the eldest princess into the water.

Stupid is stupid, conspiring with the tiger, once this matter is revealed, let alone being on the throne, I am afraid that she will not even be able to keep the identity of the current princess, after all, she is still alive as the empress!

"If she can buy a large amount of disaster relief grain at a low price, then let her operate it, but she must take care of it, and don't let Panlong Country be shoddy.

Those people in the Panlong Kingdom have been keeping an eye on me, and it is best to pull out all their people along the way, and then arrange for people to use these identities to send a generous gift to the Xuanwu Kingdom and the White Tiger Kingdom. ”

Ripple commanded directly.

"Yes, my subordinates will order it to go down."

"Arrange for someone to bring the third child and the virtuous servant back, and make sure that they are not infected with the plague."

Ripple added.

"Yes."

Ripple cut a peony flower, inserted a small crystal vase, and asked Lan Xin to send it to Nannan, this child is more sensible, and after the daily homework is completed, he will come to her to say goodbye.

Sometimes I will ask some questions that I don't understand, and the ripples have begun to instill in the little girl the way of thinking of the superior, subtly influencing the little girl, in Shi Jiu's words, she has begun to practice the trumpet.

Three days later, the second empress came to see Ripples, after all, it is not a trivial matter to buy grain with Panlong Kingdom, and she has to use the reserve silver of the treasury, so she must let the empress know that she must stamp the empress's seal, otherwise she will not be able to use the silver.

"Mother Emperor, this matter was raised by the people of Panlong Kingdom, they had private contact with the people of the courtiers, at first I thought that the other party was a big grain merchant, but I thought that the timing of their appearance was too ingenious, and then after several investigations, I found out that they were from Panlong Kingdom.

However, the price they gave for the purchase of grain was very attractive, and it could also solve the urgent need of the food shortage, so I didn't expose them, and negotiated the price with them for a few days, and then I came to report to the mother emperor, to be honest, my daughter didn't have a bottom in her heart, and I always felt that Panlong Kingdom would definitely not be so kind. ”

The second princess said a few words, she brushed herself clean, and also sent the final decision to the hands of Ripples, showing her attitude of respecting the empress, and also through self-exposure, she showed that it was not the Panlong people she took the initiative to contact, but the other party concealed her identity to contact her.

Ripple smiled, feeling that the rank of the second princess had been improved, and she also knew how to clear the relationship and share the risk.

"The disaster-stricken cities will have to survive on relief grain until the spring of next year, and after the beginning of spring, there will be good seeds for planting, so you ask the people in the household department to make a detailed calculation to see how big the gap is in the reserve grain in the granary of the state treasury, not that he sells it, we must buy it."

After hearing this, the second princess immediately said:

"The courtiers have asked the household department to make statistics, and the current gap is 500,000 catties of grain."

The second princess obviously came prepared.

"In this way, you buy 100,000 catties of grain first, and every package of grain must be inspected, don't let the people of Panlong Country take advantage of the loopholes, you yourself doubt their intentions, since this is the case, you must be even more cautious."

Ripples proposes a compromise.

"Or the mother thinks long-term, then buy 100,000 catties first, I will definitely send someone to keep an eye on it, I will let them transport these grains directly to the affected city, so that they can further test the other party, what does the mother think?"

"Yes! As I said, now you are in charge of the country, if you have something that you can't decide, you can come to me for advice, and if you have ideas and decisions, do it, don't procrastinate! ”

"Yes, the courtiers thank you for your trust!"

The second princess saluted, and then left Zhuo Xiuyuan with a smile on her face.

In the early morning of the second day, the matter was raised, and the ministers also agreed to the proposal of the second princess, and the household department still took out the silver for the purchase of 100,000 catties of grain, and the matter was finalized.

Next, we waited for the Panlong Kingdom to transport the grain, and everyone inspected the goods in person, and then paid the silver.

Panlong Guo also received the news from himself, knowing that Fengqi Guo was willing to pay money to buy grain, but there was a big gap, and they couldn't make up such a large amount of silver for a while, and they were also worried that they would cheat, so they only proposed to buy 100,000 catties of grain first, which was also a temptation.

"Your Majesty, the empress of Fengqi Country has always been suspicious, we just promised them, even if the other party is tempted, our people who transport grain can also enter Fengqi Country, and the second princess said that all the food this time is used for disaster relief, so it will be transported directly to the affected city, and our opportunity will come."

Zhang Zhang made the pros and cons very clear.

"Okay, we won't do anything about this first batch of food, and we will send it over first, mainly to let our people enter those five cities smoothly."
