Chapter 417 Chapter 417
The next day, Xu Ji was going to take Shi Zizhang to the arsenal, so he ordered the inspection department manpower. Seeing that Shi Zizhang also brought two helpers, he was even more satisfied, "You are not familiar with the place there, and you really need two Errand runners? Is it enough? If not, it’s okay to add two more.”

Shi Zizhang hurriedly said: "Enough is enough, subordinates are there to do things, not to enjoy themselves.

"It's just that there are not enough manpower, so we have to go there and make adjustments."

Xu Ji nodded, "Let's go!"

When I got outside the gate, I found small piles full of things on the small square outside the princess' mansion.

Guo Shun and Xie Qing are leading people to count.

Xu Ji knew what those piles were without asking.

Because she saw with her own eyes a few more people came together, they all carried baskets in their hands, and when they arrived at the small square, they saluted Xu Ji from afar, put down their baskets, turned around and left quickly.

Guo Shun trotted over, saluted and said: "Princess, the common people know that you and the prince are close, so they sent their hearts here.

"Although it's not something expensive, it's all good intentions. Look..."

With a warm heart, Xu Ji nodded and said: "Take it all, you lead someone to sort it out. Then pick some fabrics from the warehouse, and each household will send a certain amount of fabrics, as well as rewards.

"On the day when we get married, we will double the amount compared to today, and add some meat, eggs, snacks, etc., so that everyone can be happy together."

Guo Shun agreed.

When he was on the road, Shi Zizhang couldn't help sighing: "The princess is really a big hand!"

"They treat me sincerely, and I treat each other with sincerity," Xu Ji said lightly, "Everyone thinks simpler, and there are not so many things."

Shi Zizhang cupped his hands: "There are not many people who can have such a broad mind as the princess."

Xu Ji smiled, "I didn't care at first. The prince asked me to help, but I just came here on invitation, and everything I did was aimed at him.

"The people have benefited from it, are grateful to me, and want to give back to me, so I respond.

"If you have no expectations, you won't be sad when you are betrayed."

Shi Zizhang's face changed, "Why did the princess say that? Is there a traitor in Xucheng?"

"That's not true," Xu Ji sighed, looking at the increasingly flat post road ahead, "it's the prince. You also know how much blood and sweat the prince has put in for the establishment and stability of Dayan.

"I don't know how many people have saved their homes because of his benefits.

"But how many people really appreciate him? Some even complain that he failed to help them keep their houses and property.

"Some sons died in battle, and they cursed viciously why it was not someone else who died."

She shook her head, "There are everyone in this world. If you don't have expectations, you won't be disappointed. It's easier to balance your mind."

Shi Zizhang blinked, he couldn't fully agree with these words, but he had to admit that there was some truth to them.

When he arrived at the arsenal, Xu Ji didn't take part in the management, but just sat in and watched how Shi Zizhang integrated himself into the role of the general manager.

After a few days, I saw that he was basically in the hands, so I turned back.

It took half a month to go back and forth, and when she returned to the Princess's Mansion, she found that the Princess's Mansion was dressed in red and colored, looking like she was preparing for a wedding.

She actually had a trance feeling that she was an outsider.

Guo Shun, who went to meet her at the gate of the Great Wall, said with a smile, "Is the princess surprised?"

"Well, a bit..." Xu Ji turned to look at him, "Have you decided on an auspicious date?"
