After the rooster crowed, the sky was dark, and the palace maid carried the red lantern to shuttle between the Qionglou and Yuyu, and gathered in the Xianyang Palace. Today, the king wants to convene the ministers in the Taiji Hall to discuss matters, and he does not dare to be sloppy in the slightest.

In the palace, Su Mucheng, under the service of Queen Lady Bai, put on the royal robe with a hook and jade. Madame Bai sorted out her clothes behind the king and said, "Brother Wang's birthday is approaching, will the concubine arrange someone to prepare?" ā€

Su Mucheng smiled, he opened his arms, waited for Mrs. Bai to serve properly before putting it down, and said, "Don't pay attention to him, his birthday has already passed, and holding another birthday is nothing more than trying to cheat some money from the beginning." ā€

Su Mucheng wiped his face with wet wipes, handed it to the maid, and continued: "Yesterday, this kid came over and wanted to cheat me out of a generous gift, so he was reprimanded by me and left in a huff. ā€

"If the king of Shuobei is short of money, the concubine is still a little rich here...... Madame Bai said.

"Ignore him. Su Mucheng waved his hand, "If money can be hard to stop him, King Shuobei still can't do well." ā€

"But if Brother Wang tosses it like this, won't it damage the reputation of the Su family? I heard that the people of the Shuobei Royal Mansion are wantonly selling the Hualin Garden of the royal family in the east of the city in Jiankang City. Madame White was a little worried.

Su Mucheng didn't care: "The character of the curtain follows his uncle, he has a lot of crooked ideas, and he is a good soldier and makes dangerous moves, but he can often hit the right one." Su Mucheng walked out of the bedroom with Mrs. Bai, the meal had already been prepared, and he rinsed his mouth: "As long as you don't mess around, let him toss in the future." ā€

Seeing this, Madame Bai didn't say anything more. The Bai family is a family heirloom with books, and the white father is familiar with the Confucian classics, and he can't see the prince's casual disregard for the ancestral etiquette. Madame Bai thought that the king had such an idea, and she had to tell her father not to make any more calculations in the court, so as not to displease the king.

......

In the auspicious restaurant, Wei Shu put one leg on the warm table, sitting in a rather indecent posture, holding a chicken leg in his hand and gnawing, and he didn't care about the greasy hands. Opposite him, a chubby boy smiled, like Maitreya Buddha, poured wine for Wei Shu from time to time, and only after Wei Shu hiccuped did he say: "Brother Shu, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I want to hurt my little brother." ā€

Wei Shu said arrogantly: "No way, the prince is heavy, busy with business, and today is also the prince who sees me too tired, and I have to force me to rest, so I have the opportunity to come out and get together with my brother." ā€

Maitreya Buddha smiled all over his face and said: "That's, who is Brother Shu'er?" Now the red man in front of the prince's eyes, Chu Lao Er on the west floor looked down on Brother Shu'er, and finally the prince personally swept their face, and now the entire Jiankang City has spread all over it. ā€

Wei Shu was drinking, and when he heard the words, he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think of anything inappropriate, he raised his head and drank it all, and said with a smile: "Sun Caishen, the words of compliment are also said, what is the matter with inviting me today? In the past, you iron rooster, but you didn't pull out a hair." ā€

When Sun Caishen heard this, he was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Brother Shu has wronged me, our old man is watching it closely, I really have no money, and I am reluctant to make a new set of clothes." As he spoke, Sun Caishen stretched out his sleeve and said, "Look, there is a huge hole, and the wind is drilled on a snowy day." ā€

Wei Shu will not be fooled by Sun Caishen, he met the brother of the wife of the nephew of the housekeeper of Sun Mansion in the gambling house, and it is said that Sun Caishen has two sets of clothes, and now he has this set of clothes that he uses to deal with people who borrow money.

Seeing that Wei Shu didn't answer, Sun Caishen could only pour wine, leaned in and asked in a low voice, "Brother Shu, is the prince determined to sell Hualin Garden?"

Wei Shu took a bite of the dish, nodded, and said, "What's the matter?

Sun Caishen hurriedly waved his hand: "My father is interested, and he told me to inquire, Brother Shu'er, to give me a solid foundation." ā€

"The invitation has been sent to the house, and the prince is definitely going to sell the land. Wei Shu was a little strange and asked, "What else do you want to know?"

"Brother Shu'er, why does the prince want to sell the land, is the palace very short of money?" Sun Caishen poured another glass of wine and asked eagerly.

Money is just a number for the Sun family, they know how to make money, and they also know how to spend money. For Hua Linyuan, the Sun family didn't care, it was true that they knew why the prince was short of money.

When Wei Shu heard this, he felt that the opportunity for his performance had come, cleared his throat, looked sad, and said: "The people who have been harmed by the war for many years have been displaced, and they are not clothed, and now it is worth the snow falling continuously, which is by no means a good omen. ā€

Sun Caishen was in awe and sighed: "The prince is really benevolent and righteous, I can't wait for a long time, come, toast the prince." ā€

The two of them drank it all, and were about to speak, when they suddenly heard a noise downstairs. Wei Shu and Sun Caishen leaned to the window and poked their heads out, only to see that the front of the grain store opposite was full of people, and they were talking about the sign hanging on the door.

Wei Shu beckoned Xiao Er to go down and inquire, only to know: "The price of rice in the grain store opposite has risen." ā€

Wei Shu was surprised: "Isn't it just a matter of changing grain merchants when grain prices rise." ā€

"Second son, the price of grain in the whole city has risen. Xiao Er said.

Wei Shu and Sun Caishen looked at each other, and Wei Shu asked, "Your family's grain prices have also risen?"

Sun Caishen hurriedly waved his hand and said: "How can it be, what wealth can be sought, what wealth needs to be given, and there is also a way in business, this is the principle that the eldest brother abides by." ā€

"The price of grain has risen, the prince has sold land, but it is these profiteers who are cheaper at that time. Sun Caishen sighed.

"Ling Zun is in charge of wealth, and there is nothing he can do with these profiteers?" Wei Shu asked.

Sun Caishen shook his head and said: "There are many families behind the merchants, if they are not moved, I am afraid that the foundation of the country will be shaken." ā€

..............................

Next door to the conversation between the two, Bai Zixiu sat on the mat, listening to the noise downstairs, and tapped the corner of the table directly and lightly, until the door was pushed open. The man wore a hat on his head, covered his face, crossed his hands in his arms, and held a sword, which was wrapped in a torn cloak to ward off the cold wind.

The person who came sat opposite Bai Zixiu, drank all the wine handed over, and asked, "What are your orders?"

"You can prepare for the talent gathering after the beginning of spring. Bai Zixiu said.

"Talent Picking Conference?" the person who came raised his head and revealed his mediocre and featureless face, "What should I do with the imperial court's selection of eagle dogs?"

"You just do what the shopkeeper commands. Bai Zixiu said and handed a piece of letterhead to the visitor, "Send the believer to the Sun Mansion unknowingly." ā€

Hearing this, the visitor frowned and asked, "For that land?"

"That's right. Bai Zixiu nodded.

"The inn is easy not to have anything to do with the government, is it illegal to do this?" the person who came put down the letterhead and asked, "Besides, the medicine king standing behind the king of Shuobei is the Medicine King Valley, if the shopkeeper's move is found out, it will inevitably be difficult to explain to the Medicine King Valley, and it will also lose the biggest foundation of the inn." ā€

"The Medicine King Valley is no longer the original Medicine King Valley. Bai Zixiu smiled at the corner of his mouth, "As soon as Ye Qiu dies, the Medicine King Gu Qunlong has no leader, it is a good time for the Mo family to replace him, this is the meaning of the living mound, you just have to do it." ā€

There were still doubts in the hearts of the people, and when he picked up the letterhead, he felt that it weighed a thousand pounds, and finally answered silently, turned around and pushed the door and walked out.
