Li Sansi, the envoy of Duzhi, came to see Xu Jinrou, also because of the lack of silver.

The degree branch department is in charge of financial revenue and expenditure and grain transportation, and the operating expenses of all yamen and local governments at all levels outside the three divisions are allocated by the degree branch department.

The source of silver mainly depends on the grain produced by Da Chu, silk and other daily necessities sold to the Western barbarians after the tax is paid, and now the people of Da Chu are not happy, and the silver of the tax has always been unable to make ends meet.

Li Sansi is in his seventies, his body is still quite tough, and his face is sad after he sits.

"Princess, you must know what the old minister is doing, if there is such a lack of money, I am afraid that without the Western Barbarians doing anything, it will be difficult for all parts of my Great Chu to maintain its operation."

Xu Jinrou's face was sad, "Hey, the silver in the treasury is empty, there is no reserve, it is really difficult to rely on tax silver alone, and the envoy is also a prince, can he discuss this matter with the queen?" ”

Li Sansi is the uncle of Queen Xiang, who usually looks harmless to humans and animals, elegant and polite, but once he gains power, he turns his face and denies people.

In the previous life, the envoy forced Xu Jinrou to sell the Xu Mansion, so that she had no last place to stay, and after she had the silver, he made things difficult for her in every way, forced her to give up power, and forced her to be the queen's dog.

After listening to Xu Jinrou's words, Li Sansi smiled slightly bitterly, "Hehe, the silver in the palace is not enough, if the queen has a way, the old minister will not come to trouble the princess, the queen has explained, the princess must have a way to do this." ”

Xu Jinrou tightened her eyebrows, "If I had a method, I would have used it a long time ago, why wait until today?" ”

Li Sansi's eyes flickered, "If the princess can't think of a way, the old minister can wake up." ”

"Oh, come and listen." Xu Jinrou's eyes suddenly brightened.

"Because Liu Ren Tu has ordered that the Western Barbarians are not allowed to harass Xu Shilang's Mansion, so Xu Mansion has become a dream place for many Western Barbarian merchants, if the princess can sell your mother's Xu Mansion, it will definitely be able to sell it for a good price, so it can solve my urgent need for Great Chu."

In the previous life, Xu Jinrou was sued by Li Sansi to the queen because she didn't want to sell Xu's mansion, saying that the princess of Jin was clearly doing things for Da Chu, but in fact, she had hidden evil intentions, and was embarrassed to kill Da Chu without using swords.

Under the coercion and temptation of the queen, Xu Jinrou finally had to cry and agree, she would not let them get her wish in this life.

Xu Jinrou's expression remained unchanged, "The proposal of the envoy is really good, at the beginning, the Xu Mansion was all killed by the Western Barbarians for the sake of the Great Chu Jiangshan Sheji, and now almost all the people in the mansion are dead, only a few old servants who have nowhere to go are left, and I live in the palace again, and it is really useless to keep the Xu Mansion." ”

Li Sansi's old face shone with oil, "If the princess wants to sell the Xu Mansion, she can sell it together with those servants, so that the princess doesn't have to worry about where they are." ”

"Ah, the proposal of the envoy is really good, I didn't expect it." Xu Jinrou's face was a little happy.

"Yes, the old minister has thought about this matter carefully, and I have even found a buyer, and I was worried that the princess would not be able to sell it?"

"How can it, for the sake of Dachu, my Xu family doesn't even want my life, how can I care about things outside my body, I don't know which one wants to buy my Xu Mansion, and the silver out is satisfying?"

"It is Yue Dapeng, a wealthy businessman in the West who runs a rice business in my Dachu, he said that the price is negotiable, and it will definitely satisfy the princess, and as long as the Xu Mansion is sold, the princess can transfer the silver to the Du Branch, and there are old ministers who can plan to ensure that my Dachu is safe and sound."

"Well, it's good, this matter should be sooner rather than later, please send the envoy Nayue to discuss this matter with me."

Li Sansi was overjoyed, "Please wait a while, the princess, the old minister will send someone to invite the shopkeeper of Nayue to come." ”

Seeing that Li Sansi was gone, Fang Ruo knelt on the ground with a "poof",

"Princess, they are too bullying, do you really want to sell your mother's family? If the Xu Mansion is gone, you will only be able to live under someone else's roof in the future, and if the old lady knows that the Xu Mansion was sold to the Western Barbarians, she will die blindly. ”

Xu Jinrou stretched out her hand and pulled Fang Ruo up: "Mother's family, how can I sell it?" Our Xu family is dying for the sake of Da Chu, and when we are about to sell our home to the Western Barbarians, let them use it to show off? Don't worry, others in my Xu family can't take it away. ”

It didn't take long, Li Sansi took Yue Dapeng, the shopkeeper of Mi Xing, to see Xu Jinrou, and after the ceremony, Xu Jinrou asked Yue Dapeng to sit down, and then glanced at Li Sansi.

"Envoy Du, let me discuss this matter separately with Shopkeeper Yue, so that some things can be discussed privately, so how about you avoid it first?"

Li Sansi was stunned for a moment, and then stood up, "Yes, yes, yes, the old minister understands, the old minister will retire first, and the princess can call the old minister at any time if she has something." With that, he bowed and exited the room.

Yue Dapeng sat on the chair with a proud expression, "Princess, Xu Mansion is not someone who dares to buy it if you want to sell it, I dare to say that in this Kyoto City, I am not afraid of Liu Rentu The only person who can buy Xu Mansion is I, Yue Dapeng, I hope the princess will not ask for too much price, please say the number!" ”

Xu Jinrou's little finger lightly tapped the back of the chair, "Oh, but is it because Shopkeeper Yue is the elder brother of the privy envoy of the Northern Court of the Western Barbarian Kingdom that he has such confidence?" ”

Yue Dapeng's eyebrows rose slightly, "It seems that Liu Ren Tu told the princess everything, no wonder they all said that he was fascinated by women and couldn't make a big deal." ”

Xu Jinrou's eyes became gloomy, "Does Shopkeeper Yue think that I have to learn everything about the Western Barbarian Kingdom from Liu Jian Guo?" ”

"Otherwise, where else can the princess know?" Yue Dapeng's face was sarcastic.

After the sixteen to sixty-year-old Western barbarian men came to Great Chu, they regarded themselves as high-ranking people, and the Western barbarians with identity and background did not even pay attention to the royal magnates of Great Chu.

"Where did you know that your shopkeeper Yue is not qualified to know, but I heard that Shopkeeper Yue took the opportunity of trafficking grain to sell the weapons of the Western Barbarian Kingdom to the overseas Tianluo Kingdom, and even Liu Jian Guo may not know about this matter, right?"

Yue Dapeng's face changed and he stood up suddenly, "Princess, how did you find out?" ”

The weapons created by the Western Barbarian State are the soldiers of a hundred refinements, and they are the reliance of the Western Barbarian State to be able to sweep the world, and now there is a Tianluo Kingdom overseas that has not been destroyed, and the emperor of the Western Barbarian Kingdom is absolutely not allowed to sell weapons to this country.

This news was known to Xu Jinrou from Xiao Tianzhe, the privy envoy of the Southern Court of the Western Barbarian Kingdom, but the matter was exposed until five years later, when the emperor of the Western Barbarian Kingdom was extremely angry and removed the privy envoy of the Northern Court from his post for investigation, and Yue Dapeng was divided by five horses.

"How do I know that this is my secret, just like I can also keep this secret of the shopkeeper Yue."

Yue Dapeng's expression became extremely nervous, fine beads of sweat oozed from his head, and he bowed down and said, "If the princess can keep this secret, you can just say the amount of money sold in the Xu Mansion." ”

Xu Jinrou sneered softly, "Hehe, who said I was going to sell Xu's Mansion?" ”

"So, what do you mean...?" Yue Dapeng was puzzled, but he had become cautious and cautious in his speech.

"What I want to sell is the mansion of Li Sansi, the envoy of Duzhi." Xu Jinrou said word by word.

"Ah, this..., I'm confused, and I ask the princess to make it clear" Yue Dapeng's attitude has now become extremely humble.

"The Xu Mansion is full of loyalty, and the shopkeeper Yue thinks about it and feels that he can't bear to blaspheme the business, but he is the envoy Li Sansi's mansion is located in a prosperous place, and the water pavilions at home, carved beams and painted buildings, are more suitable for the mind of the shopkeeper Yue."

"I haven't heard this matter mentioned by the envoy." Yue Dapeng still didn't understand Xu Jinrou's intentions,

"How can the envoy mention it, because I took this idea for him, you can just do it, but it's not today, when you want to buy it, you need to wait for the princess to send you a message, and you don't need to give too much silver, just a hundred taels." Xu Jinrou said that the clouds are light and the wind is light.

Yue Dapeng nodded, he finally understood the intention of the princess in front of him, but was this the legendary princess of Jin who was obedient for the sake of Da Chu? It seems that the rumors really can't be fully believed.

"I understand below, and I will be tight-lipped about the princess's explanation, and everything will be said to be in my thoughts."

"It's good that you understand, I will also keep my mouth shut about the matter of the shopkeeper Yue, and I won't let Liu Jianguo know."

"Thank you, Princess, I am grateful, but I don't know how I should tell the envoy today?"

"You only said that the matter of buying and selling my mother's Xu Mansion has been negotiated, but the amount of silver I want is a bit too much, you have to go back and think about it, and you can think about the amount of silver yourself."

"Yes, I will definitely handle this matter, and I won't let the princess bother."

After Yue Dapeng left, Xu Jinrou dealt with some things in the Yan Tie Division, and only after it was getting dark did he and Fang Ruo leave in a carriage.

"Princess, are you going to see Liu Rentu tonight?" Fang Ruo asked a little puzzled, "Isn't it Princess Zhao who wants...?" ”

"Yes, it's because Princess Zhao will be sent to the Rentu Mansion that I have to go over to take a look, otherwise how can she be treated favorably?" The corners of Xu Jinrou's mouth curled slightly.

Liu Rentu was a little annoyed today, because Jiang Yunhan, who lived in the prison mansion, was furious, crying and making trouble, and after she saw the half of her finger that was chopped off, instead of obediently going to his bed, she cried even more.

"Liu Rentu, you can kill me, but you want to use such despicable and shameless means to force me to serve you, you are delusional, if my father knows that I will commit myself to you because of his mutilated limbs, he will be better than dead." Jiang Yunhan's apricot eyes widened, staring at Liu Rentu's handsome face.

Liu Rentu played with the sandalwood folding fan in his hand, "Since you beg me, you should know my Liu Rentu's preferences, if you don't want to serve this prison country, what do you want to live in my prison country?" ”

"I, I just want to beg you, I don't want to accompany you..., I live in the prison mansion..., yes, I was forced by you to do it!" Jiang Yunhan's face was flushed, but it added a little charm.

Liu Ren Tu chuckled, "Hehe, is it? You don't understand the mind of this prison country and live in? Okay, you're good to go. ”

Jiang Yun's cold eyes flashed with pain, "You, did you really let me go?" ”

The corners of Liu Rentu's mouth rose, "Otherwise, force you to stay?" ”

Jiang Yunhan stomped his foot hard, "You, are you really willing to let me go?" There was a bit of coquettishness in his tone.

Liu Rentu's eyes suddenly became gloomy, "Jiang Yunhan, do you want to capture this prison country?" I used too many of these tricks when I was commanding my troops to fight. ”

Jiang Yunhan looked at Liu Rentu blankly, "I thought you were a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, why are you so ruthless!" I..., if I don't leave, I'll stay in the prison mansion, if you want to..., just come. With that, he turned around and trotted away shyly.

Liu Rentu seemed to be smiling, and the folding fan was lightly closed: "Women's scheming..., it's a little interesting!" ”
