However, after a moment's pause, he quickly regained his voice: "I know how the Dasi Agricultural Office should operate, and I know how to pay taxes, calculate taxes, and collect taxes, but I don't know much about the implementation and collection of specific localities. ”

"However," he said, with a solemn expression, "I want to be a big farmer, not a small official, and I don't have to know everything in detail." Appointing the right person to do what he can do and having a good overview of the overall financial situation is what Dasi Nong has to do. ”

When King Baling said this, the ridicule on his face disappeared without a trace, and he held Yan Hong's hand and said, "Uncle, I know that you care about me and are afraid that something will happen to me, but I really want to do it." I know that the financial situation is very important, and it involves countless people in the world, and I will not mess around. Sinong Mansion only lacks a chief official, not a cadre shortage, if I have something to understand, don't I have a mouth? A few adjutants won't watch me mess around. ”

Yan Hong's expression moved slightly when he heard this: "Since this is the case, why do you bother to ......?"

King Baling smiled slightly and said, "I know that the reason why the Son of Heaven chose me to be the Great Si Nong is because there is no useful candidate at hand, but even so, I am grateful for his appreciation and open-mindedness. Not everyone has the courage to use someone who once competed with him for a place. ”

His expression was a little gloomy, and he leaned on the bedpost and said, "I will never use him if I change places." In terms of heart, I am inferior to him. ”

Yan Hong said: "Maybe he has bad intentions. ”

King Baling smiled and said, "I don't think he's that kind of person. If you can eradicate Dou Jing, can't you eradicate me? But he didn't. ”

His gaze gradually became resolute: "I am also a descendant of Emperor Gaozu, and I also have the blood of the Mu clan flowing in my body. ”

Yan Hong was silent for a long time, and finally smiled with relief: "It's really grown, it's like a man's words!" ”

King Baling smiled brightly, and after laughing, he turned the topic back to the beginning: "Why, am I not sorry for you?" Listening to the call of the Son of Heaven, you are so anxious to leave?! ”

Yan Hong sighed: "The eldest husband was born in the world, who doesn't want to make a vigorous career? You also know that I have a gap with the Geng family, otherwise, I would not have been the governor of the palace for a long time. Dou Jing has fallen, but Geng Rong is still there, and I am fortunate to be called by the Son of Heaven this time, and I really don't want to give up this opportunity......"

King Baling naturally knew about the affairs of his relatives, and he was silent for a while.

I heard Yan Hong say again: "There is also ......"

King Baling said: "What is it? ”

Yan Hong rubbed his hands together and said with a longing on his face: "Yu Lu in Shangshutai must be more than the head of the palace, right?!" ”

King Baling said angrily: "Why don't you lose your money!" ”

After finishing his anger, he said: "Tonight, we will have a banquet at the house, let's have a drink together, as a send-off for you." ”

Yan Hong has no reason: "Okay." ”

After a pause, he said: "Although I can't work all my time this month, I still have to give it, and my relatives are relatives, and I can't be sloppy about money." ”

King Baling: "......"

King Baling laughed angrily: "You are going to Shangshutai to be a Cao chief official and make a lot of money, and you are still rare for these two melons and dates?" ”

Yan Hong belched and said with a smile: "How can there be a lot of money in this world!" ”

……

Zhu Yuanzhang left the Baling Palace, but did not go to Shi's house—he knew that Yuan Niang was not there.

Instead, I went to a food shop on the street.

The name of the shop is also interesting, it is called one bean and nine to eat.

As the name suggests, it is nine kinds of food made from beans.

Tofu, tofu brain, soy milk, bean skin, tempeh, bean paste, bean curd, ......

At the beginning, the rich man Liu took away Jiang Liniang's tofu recipe and also took away the right to operate tofu, and under his promotion, this fresh food was moved to the dining table of the official eunuchs in Chang'an in just a few days.

Later, the Jiang brothers and sisters were accepted as disciples by Shi Yun, and the rich man Liu immediately came to the door to apologize, and easily put the blame on the steward who came to the door, and then when he heard that Jiang Ning had become an official and became a serious court official, he immediately sent the Liu family's tofu shop in Chang'an with both hands, hoping to end this bad relationship.

Jiang Liniang originally wanted to accept it, but was persuaded by Yuan Niang.

"It was his fault that he took away our family's recipe that day, and then he went to the house to apologize, and tied up the errant steward in the past, and we didn't want to form a life-and-death enmity with him, so we accepted it for the time being, but this store is not the same thing as what he sent before."

She said: "This tofu shop is a dead thing, the human eye can see it, and it can't be moved, so it doesn't cost a penny to accept it, and in the future, the person surnamed Liu will go to the government to sue us for forcibly taking his things, what should you do?" What is reasonable has also become unreasonable. ”

Jiang Liniang looked at the three words "Queen's Life" on the top of her cousin's head, and said in her heart, what else can I do?

Liu Cai mainly dared to do this—academically, this kind of behavior is generally called living enough.

But it has to be said that my cousin's consideration was reasonable.

If a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, it is better not to do anything that will cause danger in the first place, rather than to make amends in the future!

In the end, the Jiang family did not ask for the tofu shop, but paid for a new one in a good location on the street -- the rich man Liu did not dare to make trouble when he saw this, and honestly closed the tofu shop, sold his favor, and left a sign at the door, saying that if he wanted to eat tofu in the future, he would go to the store on such and such a street to buy it.

With his light, the Jiang family's tofu shop business is thriving.

Tofu was originally researched by the two little ladies of the Jiang family, and Jiang Liniang came up with a recipe, but from the very beginning of the experiment to the appearance of the final product, Yuan Niang also really made a big cut.

In particular, she is ingenious, and even delved into several other ways to eat tofu by herself.

Jiang Liniang can also be regarded as understanding - there is a specialization in the art industry.

She is a R&D post, and she is only responsible for technology.

Jiang Ning is a manufacturing post and is responsible for running errands.

And Yuan Niang is careful, thoughtful and cautious, is a business post, as a boss lady, and it is just right to manage the accounts and manage the manpower.

With such a division of labor, the framework of the Jiang family's small workshop has been erected.

Yuan Niang also knew that her mental flexibility was not as good as that of her sister, so she only worked on her strengths, called her uncle Fei Shi to help as a deputy, and found a few guys to run errands.

When it opened, the senior brothers all sent people to cheer for it, although it was not widely publicized, but there were also many people who knew that this shop was opened by Shi Gong's disciples, and the eyes of Yuan Niang were a little wrong, and it was inevitable that there would be a temptation between words.

Whether it is good or malicious, Yuan Niang has all dealt with the past quietly.

She was originally a peasant girl who sold tofu brains in Liushi, but now that she worships a famous scholar as a teacher, she can't wait to cut off the past and pretend to be a famous lady?

That's a joke.

She doesn't steal or rob, she makes money with her own hands, who can say strange things?

If someone really says it, it can only mean that this person can't be friends.

Jiang Liniang was also hesitant at first - the future queen used to be the proprietress of a tofu shop, how bad is it to say?

Maybe a hundred years from now, some people will say that a certain queen of the Dachang Dynasty sells tofu.

Just thinking about it again, I was relieved.

If the emperor doesn't feel ashamed and can accept his wife's past, why should they look down on themselves!

The fact that a girl can go out to do business, and the queen opens a shop in the boudoir as a proprietress and doesn't care about showing up, just shows that the social atmosphere is open, which is a good thing!

If the emperor feels ashamed, then he must also feel that his wife is from a peasant family, and his cousin will be despised if she marries him, and it is better to be yellow from the beginning!

However, Jiang Liniang felt that at the beginning of the reign of this brother-in-law, whom she had never met, she asked the teacher to take care of them, and she did not care about the origin of the Jiang family.

Otherwise, why protect them!

And the sentence "Queen's Life" on the top of my cousin's head shows the future brother-in-law's heart for my cousin.

Jiang Liniang has read the history books and knows that most of the ministers are going to send their daughters to the palace, if the future brother-in-law takes his cousin into the palace in a panic - the Dou family plucks a cold hair, which is thicker than the Jiang family's waist, and I want to know what will happen!

I don't see my cousin, and I don't canonize my cousin, it's not estrangement, but it's a kind of protection.

Jiang Liniang just thought about these things in her heart, Yuan Niang didn't say it, and she didn't ask.

The fate on the top of her head may not be very accurate - didn't she also witness the words on the top of Yuan Niang's head change from "rich life" to "queen life"?

Before the dust settled, she had rotted it in her stomach.

It was morning, and the business in the store was not very busy, and a few guys were either wiping the table or sprinkling water and sweeping the floor.

Yuan Niang finished the accounts of the past few days, and her hand rested on the abacus, but people couldn't help but come to their senses.

It has been some time since the son ascended the throne today......

But there has been no news from him.

When the day was separated, he asked himself to wait for him, and he remembered this sentence, but what about him?

Remember that too?

The ministers would want him to marry a famous lady, right?

Just like Senior Brother Shen's sister, she is beautiful and dignified, and has a bookish atmosphere, and her fingers are as delicate as green onions, unlike her, her appearance is mediocre, and there are frostbite on her hands......

When Yuan Niang thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.

She is just not as knowledgeable as Jiang Liniang, but she is not stupid, after being accepted as a disciple by Shi Yun, she still didn't understand at first, but after living in Shi's house for a period of time and being carefully taught by Mrs. He, she also had some understanding.

When Mrs. Han's sister-in-law was half-joking, half-serious, she wanted to tell the two sisters about matchmaking, and Mrs. He took her hand and pushed it with a smile, saying that she would find it for herself herself, she completely understood.

He must have entrusted the teacher to protect the Jiang family.

Yuan Niang's heart is warm, but she will inevitably be worried.

You can't even go out of the palace to see me, so it's hard to see that life is going to be sad.

If it weren't for the real danger, how would I have someone to watch over me?

It's just that in addition to this worry, it is inevitable that there will be some unspeakable sourness and apprehension.

I'm just an ordinary peasant girl selling tofu brains in the willow market, what can I give you, or keep you?

The waiting time is always long, and Yuan Niang is sad and worried.

A guest came in from outside, and when she heard the greeting of the man, she hurriedly retracted her thoughts, looked up, and couldn't help but freeze in place.

The person who thinks about it day and night just appears in front of him.

He looked at her with a smile.

Somehow, Yuan Niang's nose was sour.

I heard that someone skillfully ordered a few side dishes, and asked someone to scald a pot of wine, and finally asked, "Boss, how much?" ”

Yuan Niang snorted and said with a straight face: "One thousand taels of silver!" ”

She felt the buddy's surprised look, but she ignored it.

Someone smacked his tongue: "Why is it so expensive?!" ”

Yuan Niang said angrily: "The proprietress personally did it, just to be a little more expensive!" If you don't buy it, go out! ”

"Buy, buy, buy!" The people who came gathered around, and finally took a few silver tickets from the entourage, and handed them over flatteringly: "You count them, see if it's right?" ”

Yuan Niang snorted lightly, and finally had a little smile on her face: "I know at a glance that this official is generous......

She reached for the stack of silver tickets and twitched, but didn't move.

Yuan Niang smiled angrily, raised the abacus and made a gesture to hit him: "I'm going to die, you should let go!" ”
