Chapter 179 202 Gifts
Little put Dole down, and Huanyue took the man away.

Mu Jinxuan sat in the cell with her stomach drinking tea.

Borrow troops?Surely there is going to be a war?I can lend you soldiers and horses, food and equipment, you have to pay for it, right?
The little girl narrowed her eyes, revealing her small white teeth.

It doesn't matter if you don't have money, you can owe it first, and when you win the battle, you can pay it in installments quickly!

Mu Jinxuan admits that she loves money, but it doesn't make sense to only earn money from her own people, not from outsiders!

Besides, she is just learning from the M country, first starting a war, and then selling arms to make a fortune, but she didn't sell arms, what she sold was clothes and food, so it's not a violation of any provincial agreement, right?

Mu Jinxuan smacked her lips, um, this tea is good, delicious!

Mu Jinxuan nodded, thought for a while before saying: "Third Uncle, please pass a message to Dad. When the security agencies in Northern Xinjiang are all over the world, you may set up a special express delivery shop for thousands of miles."

"Ah?" Such a long series of words obviously took Mu Zizhou around a bit, and he was a little dizzy: "Why do you do this?"

The little girl came over and tapped the table: "The imperial court still has an urgent report from thousands of miles away, let alone ordinary people."

"Then?"

"Then you have to charge. We have shops all over the country, which is naturally more convenient."

"Isn't it faster to use carrier pigeons?"

The little girl smiled faintly, and her dark eyes flickered: "Can you cultivate a million pigeons in one go? Are you not afraid that the pigeons will go to the wrong place?"

Muzizhou frowned. Even the imperial court didn't raise many pigeons, and to train pigeons, one had to remember the route first. The territory of the Great Former Dynasty was so large. If people from all over the country ran away, he would be really afraid of the pigeons themselves. I can't figure out where the door is, even if it is really training, the whole country is so big, once the pigeons memorize these routes, they will probably have already stepped into the coffin.

"The price of this thing has to be high, high enough for our brother's hard-earned money, as well as the hard-earned money of the horses, etc., all of which must be included."

Mu Zizhou nodded in agreement, but still raised his head in doubt: "Our escort agency business is doing well, why do you do such a thankless business?"

The little girl withdrew her head, leaned back to the back of the chair, raised her eyes, and quietly looked at the crackling and burning stove in the room. From the gap, she could see the cheerfully jumping flames inside, and the hazy figures of a few pieces of charcoal.

"I believe that the current emperor is a good emperor. At least in his lifetime, the Great Former Dynasty will only become more and more stable, but we can't afford it."

Mu Zizhou also understood what it meant, if no one robbed them, what would they want the bodyguards to do?Show off?
"Then no one can guarantee what will happen in a hundred years!"

"Yes!" Mu Jinxuan nodded: "So we can't just stick to the bodyguard."

The little girl lowered her head and thought about it again: "Actually, you can do express delivery, but..."

It's just that it's more troublesome here. There are no courier bags. If you want to deliver things, you have to seal the box. Ordinary things are fine, but if it's gold, silver and jewelry, it's easy to get into trouble.

Mu Zizhou couldn't help smiling, and reached out to pat the little girl's shoulder: "Third Uncle will let you think about this, Big Brother has been missing you a lot recently, so I want you to go home and have a reunion after the next year. I heard that the Eldest Young Master is also back. "

"Brother?!" The little girl suddenly raised her head, her face was full of joy.

"I will definitely go!"

Barbara finger, she hasn't seen her eldest brother for several years?The eldest brother has been taking care of her since she was a child, and suddenly the two of them have their own families, and they feel a little lonely. Now even if they are the governor in northern Xinjiang, they are very busy, and they hardly see anyone all day long.

The third uncle smiled and said nothing. The two chatted for a while and then left.

The third uncle is going back to the house to bring his brothers to celebrate the New Year, and Mu Jinxuan is going to prepare for the New Year in the palace. In the past, at least the concubine was there to help. Now that she has become the hostess, all these things have become her affairs. It has to be arranged well in advance.

The new year's goods that need to be purchased, the gifts purchased for the servants in the house, and even the list of the banquet, as well as the names and types of dishes at the banquet, etc., etc., she had to go through everything one by one.

During this period, Lou Shaoqing was also very busy. Officials from Northern Xinjiang were coming to give New Year's gifts, and the gift list was placed in front of the desk. The yard slowly piled up gifts all over the floor.

It is customary to give gifts before the year, and it is not in accordance with the rules to give gifts after the year.

The New Year's Eve was supposed to be enjoyed by all the officials and the emperor, but because of the geographical location of northern Xinjiang, the old emperor was afraid that Lou Junquan would enter the capital, and the barbarians from northern Xinjiang would take advantage of it, so King Jing of Beijing would be spared. The banquet at the end of the year allowed King Jing to entertain his humble subjects, and this habit has continued.

It's just that this year, no matter where the government offices are, they are all smiling and their faces are shining brightly.

In the past, I came here from poor people. Even though I had a lot of salary in my pocket, I didn’t dare to be too extravagant. After all, the situation in the whole northern Xinjiang is in front of me. Didn't you dig a hole and jump in?
But this year is different. Under the joint governance of the prince and the princess, the days of Beijiang are like the sesame seeds blooming. The tax paid this year alone is a big one. In the past, it was not as much as this year.

The money in the treasury is full of real gold and silver. They are not stingy this year as officials. They pick up things that are not too excessive and can be sold, and send them over one by one, and many people even give them away. Some rare ones, such as donkey treasures, Hetian jade ornaments and so on.

The officials who gave the gifts were all waiting outside the study, waiting for the prince to announce which one, whoever straightened his clothes and hats and bent over to go in, to review the situation under his rule this year with Beijing Wang Qiansui, and to summarize the experience and lessons. By the way, we will formulate the development plan for next year.

Lou Shaoqing raised the corners of his mouth and nodded when he said something well, and stared back at Lou Shaoqing who raised his eyebrows when he said something bad. These old fritters all know that although this new prince is not as tough as the old prince, But it is also very shrewd. Since the prince wants to develop the economy, the people below will offer advice and suggestions to promote it vigorously, and prepare to be wrong!
In the middle of the night, all the officials in the palace dispersed. Lou Shaoqing came out from the study, and the housekeeper handed over the gift list in due course. Ask someone to bring the lantern, carry it in person, and light it up bit by bit.

Among the gifts, Lou Shaoqing picked out a comb inlaid with ivory and jade, and played with it in his hand. The cold touch of jade was against the palm of his hand. His eyes were focused and serious, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
