Chapter 260 Zhao Yunqi's Concerns
"3476 people, plus the original..."

"Xiao Yue, you did a good job. You deserve praise, hahaha." Luo Siyun stood on the hill, looking at the noisy crowd in the distance, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"The conditions promised by the leader are good enough. Otherwise, no matter how much I talk, I can't bring them back." Xiaoyue was happy to know that Luo Siyun didn't mind that she brought so many people back without reporting it.

"It will take a long time to settle these people down, building houses, settling them down, distributing supplies...it will be the busy farming season in a few days. Can Aunt Liu handle it?" Looking at the clerk sitting at the desk, constantly recording everyone's name, gender, and age, Xiaoyue suggested curiously, "Why don't I go and help?" As she said that, she wanted to step forward.

There are so many people, accounting for at least one-tenth of the people in the top tribe. She is really worried that Liu Ma will not be able to handle it.

"Hey, you're not needed!" Luo Siyun hurriedly grabbed her and said with a smile, "I have assigned jobs to these people. Aunt Liu is only in charge of the farmland now. I forgot to tell you about this." Xiaoyue thought that the tribe was still the same as before, and the settlement of these people was under the management of Aunt Liu alone.

"Who will be responsible for the implementation of the residential base?" Unexpectedly, it has been divided. Luo Xiaoyue stared and asked subconsciously.

"Xingchen is responsible for the foundation, and Lumei is responsible for food distribution." Luo Siyun said with a smile.

"I have assigned tasks to everyone, so don't worry!"

"Then what is my responsibility?" Luo Xiaoyue was confused again. Everyone had fulfilled their tasks? How could she not know?

"You are responsible for managing the tribe's money!" Luo Siyun smiled and said something that was like a bolt of thunder to Luo Xiaoyue.

"What?" Luo Xiaoyue was stunned. "Let me take care of the warehouse?"

"Yes, this mission must be completed by you!" Luo Siyun nodded and began to analyze it for her.

"Look, although you are not the oldest, you are the strongest among the group. You are also careful, you calculate accounts clearly, and you are honest and trustworthy... You have so many advantages, who else should be given the task of managing the money if not you!"

"I am your leader, and I am watching you!"

……

Capital City, Imperial Palace.

Linhua Palace.

It was dinner time. After Zhao Yunqi accompanied Concubine Shu to finish her meal, he quietly held the teacup and waited for Concubine Shu to eat.

How could Concubine Shu let him wait? She put down the porcelain spoon, touched the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, and signaled the people below to clean up.

"Prime Minister Cen has successfully resettled tens of thousands of refugees, and his reputation among the people is growing." Seeing that she stopped eating and put down the teacup, Zhao Yunqi began to sigh.

"Prime Minister Cen serves the country and the people, the emperor should be happy, there is no need to sigh!" Listening to Zhao Yunqi's words, Concubine Shu couldn't help but feel curious.

"The world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit. The world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit!" Zhao Yunqi stood up and walked outside. Seeing this, Concubine Shu hurriedly followed him.

After the meal, the emperor and his concubines went to the garden. The servants around them did not dare to be careless. Those who held cloaks held cloaks, and those who held lanterns held lanterns...

Zhao Yunqi turned around, glanced at Eunuch Quan, then took Concubine Shu's hand and continued walking forward.

Eunuch Quan lowered his eyes and stopped walking. The crowd of people behind him also stopped walking. They did not follow Zhao Yunqi and the other man until they were far away and they were sure they could not hear anything anymore. However, they did not move forward and just walked behind them from a distance.

Zhao Yunqi ignored them and took Concubine Shu with him, admiring the beautiful scenery of the garden under the setting sun in the evening. He suddenly asked, "My beloved, do you think there are people in this world who don't care about anything?"

Concubine Shu shook her head. "I can't say for sure. In my opinion, people will have obsessions when they are alive. Some are greedy for money, some are lustful, some care about face, and naturally some only care about their own lives and their families. No matter how noble a person is, there will always be something they care about, but it may not be reflected in money or beauty."

"Then tell me, what does Prime Minister Cen care about most?" Zhao Yunqi asked again.

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Shu turned her head and saw that Zhao Yunqi had been frowning all the time. She tried hard to recall who in the court would target Prime Minister Cen, but after thinking for a while, she still had no idea.

Suddenly, she thought of the rumors she had heard in the palace a few days ago, and then thought about the affairs of the court. Concubine Shu suddenly understood something, "Your Majesty, have you heard the rumors about Prime Minister Cen? Or have the ministers reported him?" "No!" Zhao Yunqi shook his head honestly, "I have not heard these words, and no ministers have reported him."

Did you hear that? Concubine Shu’s expression instantly relaxed.

She thought someone was deliberately targeting Prime Minister Cen.

However, since no one has reported it, why does the emperor keep mentioning Prime Minister Cen?

Is it possible...

When she thought of a possibility, her heart sank.

really.

Zhao Yunqi continued.

"Prime Minister Cen is very good, and everyone praises him, but that is also why I feel uneasy."

Concubine Shu gently stroked the flowers blooming beside the path with her hand while listening to Zhao Yunqi, with no intention of interrupting.

“I can’t figure out Prime Minister Cen. Since he entered the court as an official, there were people who questioned him except for the first few years, but none of them did so afterwards…Everyone’s evaluation of him is that he loves his wife first, is dedicated to the country and the people, and is an upright and selfless person…” Zhao Yunqi said, his voice full of affirmation and praise for Prime Minister Cen.

"No one says anything bad about him, and the common people have a very high opinion of him. He deserves this evaluation. He is as handsome as Pan An, highly talented, and a clean official...but...Alas!" Zhao Yunqi hung his shoulders, not knowing what to do.

"He is now the prime minister, second only to the emperor, but compared to other court officials, he is still very young. With his ability, if nothing unexpected happens, he will have many more contributions in the future, until..."

"No reward for any merit!"

"Your Majesty, you are afraid that Prime Minister Cen's achievements are so great that he might threaten Your Majesty, and that he might..." Concubine Shu closed her mouth and did not continue speaking, but Zhao Yunqi already understood what she had not said.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much!" Concubine Shu smiled, "In fact, Prime Minister Cen has a fatal weakness."

"You mean, her wife?" Zhao Yunqi tilted his head.

Come to think of it, he quite admired Mr. Cen's love for his wife.

He still clearly remembers the bowl of offspring-killing soup he drank in the court many years ago.

Anyway, he couldn't do this for his wife.

"That's right!" Concubine Shu nodded.

"Prime Minister Cen and his wife have been married for thirty years. Everyone in the capital knows that Prime Minister Cen is most concerned about his wife." When saying this, Concubine Shu had a look of emotion on her face, and her words were full of envy for Prime Minister Cen's wife.

If we were to say who has the best luck in the entire capital, it would definitely be Xu Qingtong.

"Madam Xu has one good point, which is her kindness. Prime Minister Cen has one bad point, which is his stubbornness. Madam Xu can break his stubbornness. Whatever you say may not work in front of him, but in front of Madam Xu, it will definitely make him treat it with caution."

"Since the emperor is afraid that his achievements will overshadow his own, then whenever he has achievements in the future, you should reward his wife. I think Cen Xiang will be pleased to hear this."

It has been seen many times that whenever Xu Qingtong praises someone in front of others, that person will have good luck.

Who this luck refers to is a matter of opinion.

"That's an idea!" Zhao Yunqi nodded, and he already started thinking about what he could do to reward his wife.
