Red Mansion Wind

Chapter 46
"Brother Xu, don't go, I'm here to find you because I have something to do."

Song Chengyuan saw that Zhou Xuai ignored him, and thought that his father had lied to him. This kid is still the same as before. Seeing himself is like meeting an enemy. He also said that this kid has opened up his mind and asked him to get in touch with Zhou Xu more. .

Since he became an adult, he has rarely interacted with Zhou Xu. Later, I heard that this kid became a bully on the street. He either ate, drank, gambled or had fun. After a trip to the Duke's Mansion, he praised Zhou Xu when he came back, so he decided to come and see Zhou Xu today.

In the end, Zhou Xu didn't change at all, he was still the same as when he was a child, and he didn't look good when he saw him.

If Zhou Xu knew about this, he was the one who bullied me all day long, and he still missed my sister, so it would be strange if he could give you a good face. Sorry!
Zhou Xu didn't think about anything else at the moment, he was thinking about the royal family.

The third son of the royal family, the eldest prince Song Chengqian was not familiar with him, and he was older than them. He was already nineteen this year, and he often used his status as the eldest prince to discipline their younger ones, especially Song Chengyuan. Maybe he had a sense of competition at that time.

The second prince, Song Chengyuan, is the same age as Zhou Xu's sister, older than Zhou Jun. This year he should be seventeen. At that time, his elder brother didn't like him, so he often played with Zhou Jun, Zhou Xu's siblings and others who entered the palace. better.

The third prince, Song Chengrui, didn't have a deep impression on Zhou Xu, but everything in his memory told him that he was the sixth son, the guy who knew to blame Zhou Xu for bullying the court lady since he was a child.

Seeing that Zhou Xu really ignored him, Song Chengyuan had no choice but to come here with a dead horse as a live horse doctor, so he could only say bluntly: "Brother Xu, Gu really came to ask you for something serious, Don't you remember this bit of affection?"

Hearing that he claimed to be lonely, Zhou Xu understood that it was probably something important, otherwise he wouldn't be so solemn, and usually he doesn't use his status to pressure others, so he responded: "It's okay to ask for advice, you can ask me to do it." What do you want to get something new?"

In Zhou Xu's impression, the second prince came to him after he became an adult to let him pay attention to some novelties, so he bought them for Empress Yang to relieve boredom.

"No, did you tell someone a few days ago how to resettle the demobilized soldiers in the Beijing camp?" Song Chengyuan pulled him back and pointed to a teahouse in front of him and said, "Let's go in and drink tea and chat."

Zhou Xu didn't expect to ask this. Could it be that he has a clue, or that he fell on the second prince's head, then he is very lucky, this is a fat job.

"That day, I met two high-ranking officials and talked about it. How did this thing get done?"

The two entered the tea house, and several guards chose a quiet place to let Zhou Xu and Song Qianyuan sit down, while he and others sat around the outside, Han Wu looked at Zhou Xu and they would also sit with them .

"The matter is still being discussed with the husbands, and I don't know if it will work or not."

Song Qianyuan shook his head, he was only in charge of the small circle of the household department, and he was not in charge of the affairs of the political affairs hall, but he was a little surprised that Zhou Xu didn't recognize his father that day, and Zhou Xu was stunned when he heard Song Chengyuan's words. Confirmed: "It's been more than ten days, and it will snow heavily soon, are you still discussing?"

"Yes~"

"Hehe, the efficiency of this work is really amazing, it's amazing"

Zhou Xu was speechless when he received an affirmative answer. The matter he thought had been settled long ago was still in the negotiation stage. There are great talents here.

In fact, he was wrong, just like what he said, the important figures in the court are all high-ranking, and the matter of a few big soldiers is not important. It is normal to delay the discussion for ten days. Afraid that they will turn upside down in the capital?

One must know that Daying in the capital, fifty miles away, has 40 elites all year round.

"These gentlemen should always be prudent and cautious. I'm not here today because of this. I want to ask you something else."

Little World War II came up to pour two cups of hot tea tremblingly. Song Chengyuan pushed a cup to Zhou Xu, and he almost vomited after taking a sip. Is this also called tea? He just put it aside and started talking to Zhou Xu.

"These days, I haven't been able to come out, it's because of this matter, during the Great Court Meeting"

Song Chengyuan mentioned his purpose today, and he did not do it for anything else. It was still the matter of transporting grain to the border during the great dynasty. Tang pressured the matter to the household department, and Qian Mingzhong, the secretary of the household department, could not think of any good solution.

It was nothing more than changing the name of the previous method, but it was not in line with the emperor's wishes. Although the task did not fall on Song Chengyuan, his pressure was no less than that of Qian Shilang.

Probably because his eldest brother Song Chengqian was in the Ministry of War, and he handled the matter of transporting grain to the grassland to the satisfaction of Xungui. You must know that those Xungui were close to him in the past. The position of the crown prince is so high, can he not feel the pressure? ?
He hadn't heard his father mention that Zhou Xu could come up with a clever plan, so he came to ask.

"Just such a little thing, come to ask me?"

After listening to Song Chengyuan's words, Zhou Xu thought to himself, isn't it very simple, since those merchants feel that transporting grain is going to lose money, then let them make money and it's over.

"Such a small matter? Brother Xu, don't talk too much. Just this matter has caused headaches for many days. Do you have any good ideas?"

Song Chengyuan's words provoked Zhou Xu, and the latter curled his lips and said, "The last time I met that senior official, I heard him ask about this matter. Unfortunately, he is too stingy. I talked about the settlement of the soldiers in the Beijing camp, so I will give it to you." I sat on the cold stool and didn't even have a sip of hot tea in the end, otherwise it would have been resolved long ago, so you don't need to ask."

"Do you really have a way?"

Song Chengyuan asked suspiciously: "Could it be that people bring their own dry food, or force a merchant to deliver it, needless to say."

"嘁~"

Zhou Xu was very disdainful, labor and management depended on 5000 years of mistakes, it was only 2000 years from Qin to him, and that was also relying on 2000 years of giants, to solve your small problem, isn't it sprinkled water?
"When have I lied to you? Didn't you lie to me in other ways?"

Song Chengyuan really couldn't say anything. In the past, Zhou Xu would believe everything he said foolishly. It was hard not to let people lie to him, so he piled up a smile and urged: "My good brother, tell me quickly, if this matter You helped me, so tomorrow I will quietly call out Sister Xuan to meet you."

"Sister Xuan?"

Zhou Xu was dumbfounded when he was told that he didn't have any younger sister, but the second prince looked at him directly and didn't explain, he could only turn his mind around, border crossing, transporting food, the two combined into one, one method slowly emerge.

"My method is called Kaizhongfa!"

"Open the Chinese method?"
