Chapter 255 Compromise
After the garrison lord took a look at Zheng Zhifu, he sighed secretly.

Mr. Zheng is his in-law, so he naturally hopes that the prefect Zheng's official career will go smoothly.It's a pity that Mr. Zheng has always advocated the doctrine of the mean, and he doesn't listen to his persuasion at all.

He is a military officer with a straightforward temper, and he has always been displeased with the way Zheng Zhifu advocates.There is no true middle way in the world!It's a pity that the magistrate Zheng never listened to his words.

Look, the gentry and aristocratic families in Nanping had accidents, and the magistrate Zheng was indeed implicated.I don't know how the Sixth Prince will arrange it after returning to Beijing this time?
Li Yuanbai handled the matter almost, and then returned to the station.He didn't go back to the station for several days, and he didn't have time to change his clothes. The weather was hot, but fortunately, his body was always cool, otherwise, he would probably have a smell.

After returning to the post station, he went directly to his room to take a bath, and then went out after he became refreshed.

After Huo Qiqi got the news of his return, she was waiting for him in the yard.

In the yard where Huo Qiqi was, there was a tall ginkgo tree, and there was a stone table under the tree.

Huo Qiqi sat at the stone table and drank tea leisurely. Li Yuanbai went over and sat down without hesitation.

"Your Highness Sixth Prince, I think we need to have a good discussion." Huo Qiqi wanted something from him, smiling so much that his eyes almost narrowed.

"Huh?" Li Yuanbai didn't say much.

In order to facilitate follow-up requests, Huo Qiqi first talked about the cooperation between himself and some wealthy gentry and aristocratic families, "Lotus root powder can produce body fluid and clear away heat, nourish the stomach and nourish yin, invigorate the spleen and Qi, nourish blood and stop bleeding, and is especially suitable for the elderly, women and children, the infirm and sick Those who suffer from fever and those who have fever. Of course, ordinary people eat it, and it also has the effect of nourishing and nourishing."

"Lotus root powder? Do you dry lotus root and grind it into powder?" Li Yuanbai asked suspiciously.

Huo Qiqi shook his head, clapped his hands without explaining.

Shu Yun and Jing Mu came in with several bowls of sticky food.

"Let's talk after tasting." Huo Qiqi said, "But eat slowly, it's very hot."

Hearing this, Li Yuanbai stirred it gently with a spoon twice, and the heat rushed up immediately.

The lotus root starch in the spoon is crystal clear, with a slight sweetness in the mouth.

"Good lotus root powder is like this, but one flavor of lotus root powder is too monotonous. Therefore, you can also add sweet-scented osmanthus, red dates, and longan to make the nourishing effect better. The sweetness of the formula added, It's not white sugar, but rock sugar." Huo Qiqi explained.

"You provide them with the cultivation techniques of lotus root and the method of making lotus root starch, but you don't give them white sugar and rock sugar, do you?" Li Yuanbai's mind was spinning quickly.

"Of course, I have to keep a hand. Of course, they can also use the rock sugar I provided, but the taste will definitely be a bit worse, so I can't blame me." Huo Qiqi said with a smile, "An Lah, I will definitely not open my mouth like a lion and take the opportunity to raise the price of rock candy."

"What is this bowl?" Li Yuanbai asked, pointing to another white porcelain bowl.

The food in this bowl is still viscous, but the color is very different from that of lotus root.

"Konjac." Huo Qiqi replied with a smile.

"Demon taro?" Li Yuanbai was slightly surprised.

"Let's call it that for now." Huo Qiqi nodded, "But I like to call it Konjac."

"This thing is poisonous, do you dare to try it?" Li Yuanbai asked, staring at her.

"Konjac is poisonous, but it can be eaten in block form. It's just that when making it, it must be heated for more than one and a half hours. Making this kind of konjac powder in block form is also very beneficial to people. If the sixth prince dare not try it , I can eat it for you." Huo Qiqi smiled and picked up the bowl, then ate with relish.

Seeing this, Li Yuanbai casually changed the bowl and began to taste it.

Konjac flour is light brown in color and tastes slightly medicinal.In terms of taste, to be honest, it is not as good as lotus root powder.

"Don't underestimate konjac, the efficacy of konjac is no worse than that of lotus root powder. This thing is definitely a life-saving powder for obese people who are prone to stroke." Huo Qiqi explained with a smile, "A few days ago, I was with the sixth prince When I went to check the river, I found that there are still a lot of konjac in Nanping. If the people can make good use of it, it can also increase their income.”

"Why did the seventh son think of giving me a [-]% interest?" Li Yuanbai asked lightly.

"Generally speaking, in the early stage of starting a business, everyone's energy can be used in one direction, but in the later stage, if there is no powerful person to suppress them and become their spiritual support, there will definitely be troubles. If the sixth prince thinks this money is hot, Daddy Money can be used to do good deeds, for example, to set up schools, martial arts halls, and charity halls in Nanping to accommodate the elderly or orphans, etc. No matter how bad it is, you can build more roads and bridges, and even invest in water conservancy construction Among them." Huo Qiqi smiled and gave him some suggestions.

Li Yuanbai took a deep look at her, and then asked, "What about the money from the Seventh Young Master?"

"Hehe, I'm just a poor man." Huo Qiqi quickly declared, "Of course, if the sixth prince can compensate me some extra, then it's hard to say."

"There is a list of all the items that were raided." Li Yuanbai glanced at her indifferently, as if he was not negotiable.

"So many people, so many items, who knew?" Huo Qiqi smiled even more flatteringly.

"Are you bribing the prince?"

"If the sixth prince thinks I'm bribing, then just pretend that I didn't say anything, and I just need to get [-]% of the interest." Huo Qiqi reacted quickly, "It's obviously two different things, isn't the sixth prince thinking too much? ?”

Li Yuanbai smiled secretly when he saw her blinking her eyes with an innocent look.In private, Huo Qiqi turned out to be so interesting!

"Mr. Huo Qi came to Nanping and made great contributions to the management of the flood. Second, Mr. Huo Qi solved the plague in Nanping this time, which is also a credit. Third, when Mr. Huo Qi left, he also Considering the people of Nanping, it is also a labor. Okay, this prince sees that Mr. Huo Qi has made so many contributions, so I will make my own decision once and let you choose some items. After returning to Beijing, this prince will also truthfully report to the Holy Majesty .”

When Huo Qiqi heard this, he felt like the sky had fallen from the sky.She can choose some more items, that's great, the Duke Protector's Mansion can finally have more antique ornaments that are available.However, the emperor knows, does he think she is too greedy for money?This can easily damage her cold image.

"The sixth prince seems to have said less. I completely sacrificed my reputation in order to set off the tall and cold image of the sixth prince." Huo Qiqi was so overjoyed that she couldn't help but make up another vote for herself.

"Sacrifice? Why does this prince think that Mr. Huo Qi is showing his true colors?" Li Yuanbai countered coldly.

This guy just likes to climb along poles, and he's not used to her.

Huo Qiqi glared at him as he crossed the river and demolished the bridge.What is her true nature? How could she be such an arrogant, domineering, vicious and cunning person?She is obviously a gentle, pleasant, kind and considerate beauty!
