royal girl

Chapter 123
Speaking of Luo Hongsheng, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Huiyu, the female partner who came with a golden finger, probably knows more than anyone else.One-sentence comment: Liao Zhai, who has lived for thousands of years, and the fox who has lived for thousands of years, is so slippery!

The first thing Huiyu thought of was the Minister of the Ministry of Households in the dispute over salt affairs caused by border grain.The Ministry of Households is in charge of the territory, fields, household registration, taxes, salaries and all financial matters in the world. In the original text, Luo Hongsheng stayed in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Households for decades.The author of the original text has a very strange position on the Minister of the Household Department. The emperor doesn’t like him, but he can’t kill him. It’s not impossible to find someone to replace him, but there is no one like him. There is no money on the books, but as long as the emperor opens his mouth , people can change money, this ability is not something everyone can do.It's not that Luo Hongsheng hasn't been deposed in the past few decades, but he came back safely within half a year at most.

This person does not form cliques for personal gain, does not make enemies with others, whether it is a colleague or a subordinate, basically, other than an old fox and an old oily person, there is no other shortcoming to attack him.It belongs to the kind of people who hate you so much, but they just can't do anything about you.

The reason why Huiyu thought of this person was mainly because whether it was border food or salt affairs, the Ministry of Households would eventually intervene.Moreover, when the news of border food shortages was sent to Kyoto, it was because the Ministry of Household Affairs brought in the Salt Affairs Department because they had no money. Now the Salt Affairs Department is staging a fierce battle between two groups of people, but the Minister of the Household Department looked cheerfully with his arms around his chest. coming.

Salt tax accounts for a large part of the national tax revenue every year. Luo Hongsheng must know some inside information about the national salt affairs, but this old fox will pretend not to know even if he knows it, and pretend to be so stupid.A few letters can get the salt merchants to spend millions of silver. Luo Hongsheng must have a certain foundation among the salt merchants.Huiyu thought, if Xing Yulang and Ji Qiyu were really responsible for the dispute over the salt affairs, then Luo Hongsheng must be the first person to open up the salt affairs.

It's a pity that this old fox is so slippery that he wants to let him make a move, which is not easy to handle.

Up to now, neither Xing Yulang nor Dong Yunji mentioned this matter to Hui Yu, and Hui Yu didn't want to show her edge too much, so she kept pretending to be deaf and dumb and didn't participate in this matter.But now that Dong Yunji put himself in and wanted to knock on the door of Fujian at the risk of his own life, how could Huiyu watch his head bleed but couldn't get in?
After thinking about it, Huiyu realized that she suddenly didn't even have a helper.Dong Yuncheng was quite reliable, but he was the eldest son's son, no matter how close he was, wouldn't his parents favor the second wife?Master Dong Er, forget it, she thinks it's fine for her father to live in a muddle all day long, as long as he doesn't make any more messes. In fact, Mrs. Dong Er's current requirements are already quite low.Dong Yunji?He is still in prison, so there is no hope.Counting with her fingers, Huiyu realized that she could only find Ji Qiyu alone.

Such a result really made Huiyu feel a little unhappy.Although it is said that Ji Qiyu will be her husband in the future, and the two of them will be bound together for a lifetime, Huiyu is not at all willing to let Ji Qiyu find out her details, as if being seen by him completely undefended. How can I protect myself after that?

After all, Huiyu would not believe that the man in this time and space would really live with him wholeheartedly under the legal system of three wives and four concubines.Moreover, Ji Qiyu seems to have great ambitions. If there is such a day in the future, then the women around him will definitely be indispensable.For the sake of a man who was destined not to be her, Huiyu felt that her forehead was pinched by the door, and she would not do such a second-hand thing.

But now there is no news about Dong Yunji's matter from the Grand Master, and it is impossible for Dong Yuncheng to report to them every day how the matter has progressed.Master Dong Er wanted to help, but at this time he realized that he had accomplished nothing for most of his life, and he was useless at all when his son had an accident.Second Madam Dong seemed to be holding her temper, but Huiyu could also see her impatience and depression.

So, after much deliberation, Huiyu finally made an appointment with Ji Qiyu to meet at Pinxiangju.It was only after the last time that Huiyu realized that this teahouse was actually Ji Qiyu's property, and she expressed contempt for this guy's behavior of making a lot of money by taking advantage of the east wind that he came and never left, but he had to admit that this person was really kind The eyes of a businessman.

After meeting again after such a long time, Huiyu thought about how to speak while looking at Ji Qiyu who was leisurely sipping tea.Today's sky is gloomy, and people's mood is not very good. Huiyu's mood has been relatively low these days, and facing a fox like Ji Qiyu, the psychological pressure can be imagined.

"Let me come, just to watch you in a daze?" Ji Qiyu looked at Huiyu silent for a while, and opened her mouth first.Today Huiyu was wearing a bean-blue jacket with twig patterns, tied with a long white skirt, and a white mink fur cloak was hanging on the hanger at the door.The black hair is tied into a tassel bun, and red coral beans are entangled in the black braid, which adds a bit of softness to it.

She must be in a bad mood, Ji Qiyu thought in her heart, it was rare to see Dong Huiyu being so depressed.

"I'm thinking about how to speak better." Huiyu knew that Ji Qiyu had seen the scene where she killed the enemy with bare hands, so she would definitely not believe that a woman like herself would be a soft-hearted person.Even so, Huiyu didn't intend to pretend to be an iron-blooded elder sister in front of Ji Qiyu, would that be courting death?So knowing that it was disgusting, Huiyu frowned slightly, with a bit of thought on her face, and sighed lightly, as if she was surrounded by infinite melancholy, and gently uttered such a sentence that was more truthful.

As expected, Ji Qiyu raised his eyebrows. Looking at Dong Huiyu like this, he was still relatively unfamiliar. He still felt that Dong Huiyu, who was full of vigor and energy, was more attractive.Sitting idle in her boudoir, frowning and mourning, she really made people feel bad.

"For your brother's business?"

"My elder brother has to deal with my elder brother's affairs. Huiyu is only a little girl in the boudoir, so what can she do?" Huiyu smiled wryly, and then said: "I invite the prince to come because I have another matter to ask." My lord, help."

"Oh?" Ji Qiyu really looked at Huiyu in surprise, "Why don't you tell me something, if you and my family can help me, naturally I won't stand by and watch."

Huiyu is quite calm after listening to the words "one family". Anyway, Ji Qiyu has to repeat it every time she sees her, and she is quite numb.With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked up at Ji Qiyu.Tsing Yi rolled black edge, this kind of color match abruptly, it seems that one light and one heavy color don't match, but there is a strange sense of harmony when he wears it.If you let your hair loose, put on wooden clogs, carry half a jug of wine, and with such a good looks, Huiyu thought of such a man, it would be more face-saving to take out.

It's a pity that the times don't cooperate.

"My lord knows that my daughter's shop is not doing well recently."

"It's okay, it will be fine when Kan Zhiyi comes back."

"Doing business, where can I wait. The store has to spend every day, and if it continues like this, I'm afraid it will lose money."

"Really?" Ji Qiyu didn't believe this nonsense at all. She made so much money before she came here and didn't leave.The ability to tell nonsense with open eyes is becoming more and more perfect.Feelings when you really don’t understand anything, right?

"Of course." Huiyu said with a very sure tone, as if she had made up her mind, "I intend to do some salt business in Fujian. I wonder if the prince can help?"

Ji Qiyu was taken aback for a moment, as if she felt some auditory hallucinations, "You want to sell salt?"

"Huiyu's daughter, how could she compete with the salt merchant for profit and do something disgraceful to her family?" Huiyu smiled lightly, as if she didn't take gold and silver seriously at all.

The corners of Ji Qiyu's mouth twitched, it was the one who kept saying that the shop was suffering a terrible loss just now, and didn't take money seriously in the blink of an eye, ha ha!
"Salt business, if it's not selling salt, I really can't think of any other business that can be done." Ji Qiyu looked at Huiyu and asked, what strange idea did she have.

"Why did my brother come here?" Hui Yu looked at Ji Qiyu with a smile and asked, tilting her head slightly, blinking her big eyes, adding a bit of cuteness.

Ji Qiyu turned his eyes slightly, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and then said: "Come here for food."

"Why doesn't the Ministry of Households adjust grain at the border?"

"No silver."

"Why no silver?"

Ji Qiyu looked at Huiyu with sharp eyes, "What on earth are you trying to say? It's important for the country to be criticized."

"Little girl Huiyu doesn't understand the important affairs of the country. I just don't want my grandfather's soldiers to guard the border with hunger and hunger. My brother was rescued from the prison, and I don’t have that much money to buy so much food for my grandfather, so I can only think of another way.”

Ji Qiyu tapped the table lightly with her bony fingers, and the rhythmic rhythm made Huiyu feel a little nervous.Looking up at Ji Qiyu's dead face, she couldn't see any clues at all, and didn't know what she thought about her words.

"How do you want to be considerate?" Ji Qiyu finally asked. After thinking about it carefully, he didn't know what Huiyu could do to be considerate.If it can be thoughtful, there will be no arguing in the hall now. Everyone wants to be thoughtful, but the key is that there is no way to be thoughtful now.

Can Dong Huiyu have a solution?
Ji Qiyu has some doubts. Even if a woman in the inner house is courageous and able to kill the enemy and protect herself, it can still be said that she has a strong family background. With a grandfather like Xing Yulang, this bravery can still be imagined. explained past.However, with such a court decision, can she really be comprehensive?
"Huiyu doesn't understand state affairs, but people who do business pay attention to profit and profit. Huiyu is not a businessman, and she doesn't know much about the way of doing business. But I heard something mentioned by Kan Zhiyi before, and I thought about the border. There is a shortage of food, and the salt merchants want salt, why can’t they be combined into one?”

"Merge two into one?" Ji Qiyu couldn't calm down for a while after hearing this whimsical idea.

"I'm just saying that casually. If Your Highness thinks it won't work, that's fine. I think Fujian's transfer of salt envoy is the father of Prince Ning's side concubine. We are not outsiders. Maybe we can discuss this matter with the people. Seeking profit and sharing worries for the country are not very good things.”

Looking at Huiyu's smiling face, it seemed that such a suggestion was really random.This suggestion is indeed a bit whimsical, but... it may not be unfeasible.The key lies in how to integrate the two into one, which can not only benefit the people, but also share the worries of the country.This matter is easy to say, but it is not easy to think of a comprehensive solution.

Seeing Ji Qiyu pondering, Huiyu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she could listen to it, she would be able to speak up to this point, and it would be her turn to be in danger if she continued to speak.Under the premise of self-protection, Huiyu was able to talk so much to Ji Qiyu because the two of them must stay on the same boat for the next few decades, otherwise, whoever would kill him.

After a while, Ji Qiyu looked at Huiyu and said, "I will think about it carefully, maybe your method is feasible."

"Really? It's a great honor for the prince to say that. I only hope that my brother will come out soon, and my grandparents don't have to worry too much. It was my sudden whim, but I didn't expect that the prince really thought it was feasible. Huiyu finally It’s because I don’t think I’m so useless anymore.”

Useless?Ji Qiyu looked at Huiyu's pretty face with a very happy smile, no matter how she looked at it, she felt as if she was being calculated, but she really couldn't think of what Huiyu could calculate against herself.

Don't feel too bad about it.

Putting this matter aside for now, Ji Qiyu changed the subject, looked at Huiyu and asked, "How are you doing recently?"

After talking about everything, I just said hello, don't you want to be so slow!In modern times, a female friend will definitely give a kick to her male friend, so get the hell out of here!

But now Huiyu still has to put on a grateful look, and smiled slightly, "Thank you, my lord, for your concern. Everything is fine. Huiyu has her parents to look after her, and her servants to serve her. If this is the case, it's not good to shout, but What a sin."

Ji Qiyu lights wax for herself, isn't it great to have parents in pain?
"That's good." After uttering this sentence dryly, Ji Qiyu didn't want to talk at all. Is it a very comfortable thing to be choked on all the time?
Huiyu wanted something from others, so she shouldn't be too indifferent. Seeing Ji Qiyu start to pretend to be indifferent and profound again, she felt powerless, but she smiled and said, "Your lord, how is it?"

"Everything remains the same."

Old P!I don't know what you were like before!

Huiyu lights the wax for herself, is the tall, rich and handsome man who talks little, pretending to be X?Fortunately, I encountered one.At this moment, Huiyu suddenly felt that a warm-hearted man like Ji Fuyan is actually pretty good, at least he will never stand coldly and give you a cold face.Hey, it's not nice to meet people.

But when thinking of Ji Fuyan, Hui Yu thought of Dong Wan, and she didn't know what was going on in Prince Ning's Mansion.Dong Wan didn't deliver the letter, and as her natal family, members of the Dong family couldn't visit her often, lest outsiders think Dong Wan was having a bad time in the palace. If Ji Fuyan misunderstood her, Dong Wan's life would be sad.

Speaking of ancient times, this is not good. A married girl cannot go back to her mother's house all the time, even if you are only one street away.Otherwise, others will think that you are not doing well in your in-law's house and go back to your mother's house to complain.It's not good for her mother's family to visit the girl all the time, as if she was worried about the girl's life in her in-law's house and stared at her in the past.

In short, a married daughter is really like splashed water. Unless something really big happens, her family will not do stupid things like first aid pioneers all the time.That's the one who really harmed her own daughter. Even if the eldest lady is worried about Dong Wan, she can only worry about it day and night in the mansion, and it's not easy to visit her often.

In fact, Huiyu also thought of herself. When she got married in the future, in fact, she was the one who relied on herself in Prince Jing's mansion.The natal family is for outsiders to listen to, and it is for men to see, but you have to support the trivial things of daily life, and your in-laws will bother you if you don’t bother your natal family.In particular, Master Dong's family still relies on the big house to live, and Huiyu is more restrained than Dong Wan.

The future is dusty, and Huiyu has no interest in exchanging feelings with her future husband. When a man puts political interests before feelings, as long as he thinks you are worthwhile, Huiyu can be as stable as a princess. This is why Huiyu's repeated efforts to establish a good relationship with Dong Wan, Dafang and Dong Yuncheng are based on relying on men rather than relying on her mother's family.

The room was cold and silent, and Huiyu looked sideways at the door, which was equally cold even if he came and didn't leave. He was already thinking that if Kan Zhiyi didn't come back before the freeze, it might be a year later.The matter of Quanzhou shipping is also a burden on Huiyu's heart. I don't know if Ji Qiyu will do something there. Since she has agreed to allow him to use Kan Zhiyi's people, she probably won't wait for others to start first.

Huiyu really didn't want to face Ji Qiyu's cold face, so she decided to leave.

"I……"

"I……"

Never thought that the two of them would speak at the same time, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

Huiyu squeezed out a smile, "My lord, tell me first."

Ji Qiyu also smiled rarely, and Huiyu looked surprised, so she heard him say: "I heard that you have a good relationship with Princess Su?"

Hearing Ji Qiyu mention Zhang Yuqiong, Huiyu felt a little complicated.Speaking of which, Lord Shoufu's eldest son is on Ji Qiyu's side, but Zhang Yuqiong is married to King Su.So will Zhang Chang support his sister and brother-in-law or continue to follow in Ji Qiyu's footsteps?This multiple-choice question is really a bit perverted.

But at this time when Ji Qiyu suddenly mentioned Zhang Yuqiong, Huiyu was still very alert. After thinking about it, she slowly said, "I used to have some contacts with Zhang's sister. She is a very good person. She has a generous temper and a good heart." Shan, we can be considered to be able to talk. The prince suddenly mentioned the sister of the Zhang family, what's the matter?"

"It's not a big deal, but a few days ago, the king accidentally learned that there was a doctor in the group of Dou's family visiting relatives. If you have time and opportunity, you can mention it."

Shrimp?Doctor?
"Why is Su Wang's side concubine sneaking a look at Langzhong..." In the middle of speaking, Huiyu suddenly stopped talking, and she already understood in her heart, "If there is a chance, I will convey the meaning of the prince."

"You don't mean this king. This king told you because you are this king's concubine. As for who you tell, that is your business and has nothing to do with this king."

Seeing Ji Qiyu's eagerness to clear things up, Huiyu suddenly felt that this person was not so annoying sometimes.Thinking about it carefully, the two of them used to talk and laugh freely, but later things got complicated and they gradually became unfamiliar.

"Will the prince be willing to play a game with the little girl?"

Looking at Hui Yu's smiling face, Ji Qiyu suddenly treated her so kindly, is this reciprocating?Rare?

In my heart, I felt that I should be disdainful, but said on my mouth: "Have you heard about the endgame of Master?"

This vengeful villain actually still remembers this. How long has it been?
"If the lord is so elegant, Huiyu will naturally follow his orders." Anyway, Ji Qiyu had already guessed that the person was her, but she refused to admit it. In fact, everyone knew the truth.Anyway, even if Huiyu and Ji Qiyu solved the game by playing chess now, she would never admit it.

Knowing it in your heart is one thing, but admitting it with your own mouth is another.

Putting on the chessboard, the two of them, one black and one white, set out the endgame, sitting upright, and started playing chess.

At this time, he was discussing secretly with his staff.

"The dispute over the salt affairs is just a great opportunity for the prince to perform in front of the emperor. Several princes and emperors have not yet reused them, and they have received a real difference. If the prince can share the worries for the king at this time, the prince is the emperor's favorite prince. If you can share the worries of the king in government affairs, slowly build your own foundation in the court, and when the time is right, you can mention the matter of establishing a crown prince." Fan Cheng said.

"I don't agree with this view. The salt business is a pool of mud. No matter who intervenes, it may not be able to start and end well. Moreover, the prince's energy should be focused on the shipping. Quanzhou Shipping has made a mistake, and now the lower levels are not reporting it. It is the opportunity for the prince to seize the opportunity. Compared with the difficulty of the salt business, sea transportation is the best choice." Jiang Kangping also looked more excited. He has put a lot of effort into the sea transportation, so he naturally does not want to look at the prince. Turn over the salt business.

Ji Fuyan was not annoyed when he heard that the two men had different opinions and were arguing endlessly. Instead, he said very calmly: "Since the two gentlemen have different opinions on salt affairs and shipping, this king would like to ask, what is the current status of salt affairs and shipping? It is not in the hands of the king. Even if the king wants to intervene, this matter is not easy. The key to the discussion now is not to choose shipping or salt, but which of these two things can be done at the fastest speed. To start and achieve results will allow the emperor and his officials to see my sincerity."

Fan Cheng and Jiang Kangping couldn't help but paused and looked at each other. Fan Cheng spoke first, "This subordinate thinks that we still have to attack Luo Hongsheng, an old fox. It's just that this person has always been wise and safe, so I'm afraid I won't invite you."

"I also agree with this point, but it is because it is difficult for Luo Hongsheng to start here, so I suggest to start with shipping. Now the court is upset by the salt affairs and the border grain, if the prince can make a small contribution to the shipping at this time Achievements will definitely make the emperor feel happy." Jiang Kangping was unwilling to give up, and continued to lobby from another angle.

"I don't agree with your idea. The second young master from the Dong family beat Peng Shunrong. The prince can't get away from this matter. Everyone is watching. If the prince doesn't express his position on this matter, wouldn't it be ridiculous? What's more, Peng Liang is in charge of the transfer of the salt transportation envoy of the Fujian capital, maybe this matter is aimed at the prince, how can we take it lightly."

"The more this is the case, the less the prince can intervene, otherwise it will be easier to be caught."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Ji Fuyan said again: "The lack of food in the border area caused this incident. Are you saying that the lack of food in the border area is really lacking or is it a cover? If it is true, then the dispute over salt affairs is real. Was it brought up by accident? If it is false, then does it mean that someone else is actually targeting the salt affairs under the guise of lack of border food! If it is really about the salt affairs, then there is no point in arguing for several months If there is no result, do you think that person can still sit still?"

"My lord suspects that the Marquis of Bei'an is responsible for this matter?"

Ji Fuyan remained silent, focused her brows and looked at the two staff members, "What do you two think?"

"The Marquis of Bei'an has been loyal to the emperor for many years, and how could a military general have anything to do with the salt affairs?"

"The Marquis of Bei'an has nothing to do with the salt affairs, but what if there is someone behind the Marquis of Bei'an?"

"You mean that the Marquis of Bei'an may have secretly taken refuge in one of the several princes?" Fan Cheng said with some surprise, "This is unlikely, if this is the case, Gu Cang should have heard the news a long time ago. It is."

"Although Gu Cang has a good relationship with the Marquis of Bei'an at the border, but the Marquis of Bei'an may not take him as his confidant. But the prince can give it a try, at least it would be good to know what the Marquis of Bei'an is thinking." Jiang Kangping said with a few words He was very hesitant, but it coincided with Fan Cheng on this point.

"If you want to find out what the Marquis of Bei'an is thinking, the lord still needs to take over the salt affairs. Only by touching the interests of the enemy can you know their actions." Fan Cheng smiled a little, and in the final analysis, the salt affairs are the most important thing.

Ji Fuyan listened to the two people's words, and said slowly: "The lack of border food has caused the treasury to be empty, and the thorough investigation of the salt affairs has caused controversy. If it is really the work of the Marquis of Bei'an, then this king only needs to solve the matter of border food, then Bei'an Hou can still make waves?"
