Chapter 79

"You little girl, you are so brave. More than ten days ago, I received a letter from Yuan Bai, saying that you had already set off from Shu County to return to the court. As a result, you walked lightly and walked with all your feet. It's been twenty days, but I've been waiting so long!"

Standing in the hall, Lu Weimang said embarrassingly, "Forgive me, Your Majesty, I was fascinated by the scenery of lakes and mountains for a while, and the road was a little loose."

"Okay, I thought it would take a year and a half for you to be effective, but I didn't expect to finish the task ahead of time, and it was still overfulfilled. Since you are so quick to handle the errands, I will not hold you accountable if you are delayed for a few days on the road."

Lu Weimang breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"What do you think about the caravan?"

Today, His Majesty wanted to inquire about the policies of Shu in detail. Lu Weimang handed over the information in his hand, and the emperor asked Lu Weimang while reading it.

"Your Majesty, the geographical location of the Shu land is unique, and the mountain roads are steep and difficult to navigate. In some places, only one horse can pass alone. Therefore, the minister suggested the establishment of a caravan to increase the volume of goods transported, and also to strengthen the management of scattered merchants. .And most of the caravan gang members are people from the countryside, and they have clans involved in the local area to help them, so they can get twice the result with half the effort."

"Well, can't the goods transported by the caravan every time be transported out and then traded? I heard that for a local BMW, the horse dealer only gives seventy or eighty, but when it is transported out of Shu County, it can be sold for one or two hundred taels .”

"Your Majesty, I have written in the materials that the more prosperous Qionglai is, the more beneficial it is to the development of caravans and tax gates. Therefore, attracting more speculators to Qionglai is also for the future development and prosperity of Qionglai. Moreover, the horses sold are divided beforehand. After passing the level, the first-class special-class BMWs will be sent to the nearest northern Xinjiang for breeding, and the remaining horses will be traded."

...

While reading the information, the emperor asked Lu Weimang any doubts.With this question and answer, it is clear at a glance whether there are real materials, whether they are really doing things, or pretending to be credited.Lu Weimang participated in the whole process from making suggestions to forming and implementing the caravan and the pass, so he was not afraid of the emperor's inquiries.

Back and forth, more than an hour passed.

The emperor's face gradually softened, "Okay, let's go here first today, and I will study it carefully. I heard that you want half of the state capitals in the country to go to Qionglai for activities and transactions. When the time comes, write a note and hand it in for me to have a look."

"Here!"

"After finishing the business, let's talk about other things, don't be so restrained, sit down."

Lu Weimang then sat down on the chair beside him.

"Before you left, I told you to change your office, do you remember?"

Lu Weimang got up quickly, and was waved by the emperor again, signaling to sit down, "Let's talk now, don't be restrained."

"Weichen is actually quite good in the household department."

"Okay, I've heard Yuan Bai and the Queen say about your temperament, but you don't need to make a fuss if you change your office. Anyway, the Ministry of Accounting doesn't have your desk, and I will ask Xiao Huangmen to take you to the new office in a while. Yuan Bai used to be in Beijing, that's where he worked. Anyway, he's not in Beijing now, so you can go there. It's inconvenient to be surrounded by men all day long."

Seeing the emperor's expression, Lu Weimang didn't dare to shirk any more, so she nodded and said yes, of course she would like to have the office to herself, and spend all day in the household department looking at other people's eyebrows, but there is no major hindrance, it just affects her mood.

"Also, you and Yuan Bai have done a good job in the Qionglai matter, but the caravan and Guankou were established, and the people in the court can't see your credit for the time being. After the settlement at the end of the year, I will give you rewards. Right now, I will give you a reward in advance You grace, don't you want your younger brother to enter the Imperial College? After the year, let him report to the Imperial College." The emperor's voice was flat, but Lu Weimang was very happy when he heard it, and quickly got up to salute and thank you.

"Okay, today is the first day you go to Yamen after you come back from a business trip. Go down and rest. You should be allowed to rest for a few days, but you have seen a lot of lakes and mountains along the way, so I won't give you a leave of absence."

Lu Weimang's face turned bitter when he heard this, but he couldn't argue with the emperor, so he had to bow down.After seeing the package in the hands of Xiao Huangmen who came to pick her up, he slapped his forehead, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do."

The emperor raised his head from the high desk in front of him, "Oh? And when?"

Lu Weimang quickly took over the package that was handed over to Xiaohuangmen for temporary storage, and raised his hands, "Your Majesty, this is a special product that General Huo asked Weichen to bring to His Majesty, Empress, and the third prince. I will give it to you today." Bring it here."

"Oh!" The emperor smiled, "Yuan Bai asked you to give him special products?"

Lu Weimang bit the bullet, "Yes, the incident happened suddenly that day, and General Huo had no time to make arrangements, so he asked my minister to help run errands."

"Then you can't give it like this. You have to complete the matter entrusted to you by Yuan Bai. If you send it to me, aren't you lazy? The queen should have finished handling the palace affairs by now, come on." Someone, bring Lu Weimang to the queen."

Seeing that the little yellow gate should be, Lu Weimang had no choice but to resign, and followed the little yellow gate to the harem.

After entering the Fengyi Palace, the Queen was very surprised when she heard Xiaohuangmen's report. She looked at Lu Weimang who was holding the package in front of her eyes, and waved her hand to ask the maid to take the package down. miss."

Lu Weimang quickly bowed, saying that he didn't dare, "General Huo's military situation is urgent, and there is no time to make arrangements. This minister is just helping out with errands, so it is not a bother. This minister has just returned to court today, and there are still some things to do, so this minister will leave first." gone."

"What's the rush? You just returned to court today, and it's time to take a breather and calm down. Presumably, His Majesty and Marquis Qin won't say anything. Sit down, I have something to ask you."

Lu Weimang's legs were stiff, and she walked to a chair beside her and sat down. She really couldn't deal with the big leader, "Help!", Lu Weimang yelled in his heart.

"Yuan Bai has only been back for a few days, and then left again. I originally expected him to come back this time, to attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, and to see a few more ladies from the family."

Lu Weimang didn't dare to answer the queen's homely words, and he didn't dare not to answer them. He just kept his face stiff and laughed along with him, "General Huo, the pillar of the country, I can't wait."

"Why not? I heard that you, a little girl, followed Yuan Bai to the county of Shu thousands of miles away. At that time, the heat was so hot that ordinary men couldn't do it. But you are so quick at work. These few days I have often heard His Majesty praise you in private, your spirit is really not comparable to that of ordinary housewives."

Lu Weimang cupped his hands, "It's all appreciated by His Majesty, only a humble minister and a woman have the opportunity to display her ambitions."

"You're all tanned, go back later, take back this bottle of Yurong Cream from Ben Gong, and keep it for a month before you recover."

"Thank you madam."

"Are you Jiji next year? Has your father found someone to host the ceremony for you?"

Of course, Lu Weimang doesn't know if his father has found a good one, there is a high probability that he hasn't, and the style of their family has always been a ceremony, so Lu Weimang doesn't plan to invite anyone, just his family for a meal. , so Lu Weimang told the truth, "Next year and the ceremony, I don't plan to make a big deal at home, I just want to have fun with my family."

"What's this called?" The queen disagreed, and her voice was a little serious, "How important is the woman's ceremony, it's not only a matter for your own family, but also to tell everyone that you are an adult and can talk about marriage. What? You Still thinking that no one cares about it, can't you be an old girl at home for a lifetime?"

Lu Weimang blurted out, "It's best if no one cares about it, it's clean."

The queen frowned, "Don't talk nonsense, kid, you still don't understand, you have to talk to your father about it some other time."

Lu Weimang scratched his head, "Weichen has also heard about some things about Jiji etiquette, it's too complicated, and there is no hostess in Lu's mansion, so it's not easy to entertain guests? The most important thing is that I don't want to put myself in the eyes of others, Let others call it an argument."

"You are quite high-spirited, but there is no way to do it. Don't you have to look carefully and care about everything in advance to find the most suitable one for marriage? For example, your father and you are looking for a future husband. Don't you also need family background, character, conduct yourself in the world, and be satisfied with everything?"

Lu Weimang shook his head, "I don't have a high spirit, just go along with the fate. And I don't want to weigh others, because I don't want them to weigh me. I don't want to do it to others, don't look at me. Careless, in fact, I'm afraid of people looking at me."

The scrutinizing eyes are like ants crawling on the body, which makes people's hair stand on end.And she was not sure about weighing a person.People's hearts are ethereal, how could it be possible to weigh them.

The queen waved her hands after hearing this, as if she was looking at her young child, "Okay, I won't tell you that, you girl is very stubborn. When you meet your father at the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, tell him your father said."

Lu Weimang was secretly proud, you tell your father, he also listens to me.

"Okay, you can step back first. Since Yuan Bai asked you to deliver special products to your door, don't be lazy. After the office is over, come to the door one by one and be respectful, you know? They are all old friends of the Huo family."

What the queen said meant something, Lu Weimang's scalp was numb at the moment, she thought she could send someone to deliver it door to door according to Huo Jing's note, but she didn't expect it to be a hot potato.

"Empress, although I have lived in the capital for four or five years, in fact, other than being at home, I go to the Imperial College. The note written by General Huo only mentions other people. I don't know the way. Why don't I send Huo I will give you all the special products brought by the general, please help pass them on..."

Lu Weimang said more and more in a low voice, it was a little unreasonable to hand over the things he took care of to others, but she was really dizzy when she saw the note, and the people who had never been with him before, just came to the door so hotly, She has to have a rough nerve to bear it.For example, His Majesty and the Queen, the two families who are the most "good to give away" in Lu Weimang's heart, have been dragged for so long and talked so much, then every family, the master will go out to greet her politely Homework?

This is harder than killing her.

Seeing Lu Weimang's sour face, the queen secretly laughed inwardly, this kind-hearted person is just so funny.

"It's okay, after you leave the office later, come to my Fengyi Palace, and I will point you to a small yellow door, let him take you with him, and take care of every one of them for you!"

I always felt that the look in the queen's eyes was gloating, so Lu Weimang glanced at the queen, and could only bow his head in response.
