The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 289 Good Minister
"The matter of Liaodong is just an example." Xuan Shijing smiled, reached out and rubbed Jin Yang's head, and said softly: "In your little head, you pretend to be family and country affairs all day long, if this continues , be careful to lose all your hair and become a nun."

Jin Yang pouted: "Sizi will not become a nun. Neither the emperor nor the prince's elder brother have become monks. How could Sizi become a nun!"

"You are the only one who is smart." Xuan Shijing laughed.

Sending Jinyang back to the Nuan Pavilion of the Imperial Palace, Xuan Shijing asked Shi Hu to drive the carriage to Xuanwulou. Earlier, Qiandui sent someone to report that he had something important to report to him at night.

When they arrived at Xuanwulou, Xuan Shijing asked Shi Hu to drive the carriage to the backyard. After playing like this, Xuan Shijing didn't plan to go back to the Hou's Mansion, and planned to find a guest room in Xuanwulou to rest.

After going up to the fifth floor, Xuan Shijing asked Shihu to go to the fourth floor to look for the pile of money, and brought Long'er along with him.

Xuan Shijing was sitting on his big chair, Longer and Qiandui were sitting opposite the table, and Shi Hu was standing behind Xuan Shijing.

"Qiandui, tell me, what's the matter?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Lord Hou, news came from Gao Jun from Xiangzhou that the money delivery team from King Jing's Mansion in Chang'an City has arrived in Xiangzhou, and Li Yuanjing will arrive in Xiangzhou the day after tomorrow. That is to say, the money delivery team will stay in Xiangzhou for two days. Waiting for Li Yuanjing's arrival, Gao Jun and the others are already ready to start." Qiandui said.

Xuan Shijing smiled: "At first I was worried that Gao Jun and the others would not find a chance to attack, but now it seems that those people are creating opportunities for Gao Jun, waiting for two days in Xiangzhou, haha"

"The money is in their treasury in Xiangzhou stronghold. No one should open the box to check. After all, there are seals on the box, so Gao Jun plans to change the box tonight, and then transport the box to Deng Xiaoping first. I have sent people to the foothold of the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce, and ordered the people there to buy more things and bring them back together. Anyway, the government It will be purchased at the end of the year, and it’s good to go all the way, and it’s always a deception. Besides, after arriving in Chang’an, you have to go through interrogation when you enter the city. If you inquire, you will suspect us."

"Very good." Xuan Shijing thought about what Qiandui said, and after finding that there was nothing missing, he praised: "Gao Jun has matured a lot in the past few years, and his work has become more delicate."

"Master Hou, what should we do with the money?" Qian Dui asked, when he bought the Xuanwu cuddle, it cost the Hou Mansion 20 guan.

"Keep it. After the new year, Daozhengfang should start construction. Is there anyone still living in Daozhengfang?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Qian Dui shook his head: "Back to Lord Marquis, there is no one else except our people, and now the entire Daozhengfang is deserted."

"Very good. In the coming year, we will first build a big house with five entrances and five widths in Daozhengfang, and leave it for our own people to live in. The rest will be built as two-story private houses. First, we will take out [-] yuan and give them to Liuli Workshop and others. Send it over to the cement workshop, and the firing of colored glaze and cement cannot be neglected." Xuan Shijing said.

Next year, he is still counting on his office to be replaced with big French windows.

Most of the workshops in the Hou's Mansion are people from around Chang'an City or from his own village, so they are not afraid of delaying people's return home for the New Year. times the salary, Xuan Shijing is also working hard not to let herself become a vicious capitalist exploiter.

"Yes, Master Hou." Qian Dui replied.

"Long'er, how is Xuanwu hugging lately?" Xuan Shijing set his eyes on Long'er again.

"Master Hou, after Xuanwulou improved the recipes, the business is compared with before, and the number of customers can be increased by nearly [-]%. However, because he is no longer accepting people to stay overnight, in general, the income is not as good as before." Long'er was ashamed. Said.

Xuan Shijing nodded. It is normal for Xuanwulou's income to decline. Now that the fourth and fifth floors of Xuanwulou are the headquarters of the Tang Chamber of Commerce, it is very important for the Hou Mansion. Of course, they cannot receive guests like an inn like before. Stayed overnight.

"It doesn't matter. Compared with Xuanwulou's income, it only needs to be enough to maintain the normal operation of Xuanwulou. Now that Xuanwulou is the headquarters of the Foreign Chamber of Commerce of our Houfu, it is always right to be careful." Xuan Shijing said comfortingly.

Although Xuan Shijing said so, Long'er still felt a little awkward in her heart. How could her master Hou give him a stall as big as Xuanwuhou, and he would not let him become a tool for the Hou family to make money.

"Qiandui, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will set off for Liaodong tomorrow morning, and the supplies placed in Xuanwulou will be directly loaded to Suzakumen. Also, tomorrow morning, Yanlailou will receive the proceeds from tonight's auction. A total of [-] guan, sealed up and sent to Zhuquemen, after this incident, we will no longer interfere in the affairs of Liaodong." Xuan Shijing ordered: "By the way, there is also Daoist Sun, from among our people. Pick two good men, protect Daoist Sun along the way, and be sent by Daoist Sun."

"Yes, Master Hou." Qian Dui replied.

For Sun Simiao, whether it is the many servants of the Hou Mansion or Xuan Shijing's mother and son, they are all very caring.

In Ganlu Hall, His Majesty Li Er looked at the booklet sent by Ma Zhou, thinking about everything.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time to rest," Deyi reminded softly behind His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said with a smile: "No hurry." Then he sighed with emotion: "Deyi, you said that in my life, except for the establishment of the Xuanwu Gate with the crown prince, Qi Wang Yuanji turned against each other, what a blessing. "

"Why does Your Majesty feel this emotion?" Deyi asked cautiously.

"I have been a soldier for half my life, and I have many good ministers to support me, but the most unforgettable thing for me is Mingde." His Majesty Li Er sighed.

"The late Jin Guogong and His Majesty fought together on the battlefield for several years. Your Majesty will never forget the old man. It is because of love and righteousness."

"Mingde is different from everyone else after all." His Majesty Li Er smiled mysteriously: "Looking at it now, I'm not the only one who is lucky."

"Your Majesty is not the only one who is stupid." Deyi bowed and stood beside His Majesty Li Er.

"The prince is just like me. In the future, besides the humerus ministers I left for him, there will be good ministers to assist him." His Majesty Li Er said with a very satisfied smile.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, King Wu and King Wei have a deep brotherhood. King Wu and King Wei are also extraordinary people. They will definitely be a great help to His Royal Highness in the future." Deyi said.

His Majesty Li Er closed the notebook written by Ma Zhou in his hand, and said with a smile: "No, the good ministers I'm talking about are not Ke'er and Qingque, but Jing'er."
