Chapter 301 Going to the Ministry of War

The bright sun is rising slowly, illuminating the peaceful land.

Spring is here, the ice and snow melt, and everything recovers. When you open the window, you will be greeted by the breath of spring.

Xu Chenyuan stood in front of the window, straightening his armor.

A loud male voice sounded outside, "Xu Chenyuan!"

Xu Chenyuan looked through the window and saw that it was Zhou Wang, his good friend who often worked with him.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhou Wang, didn't you guys have to be on duty yesterday? What's the matter, what are you doing here so early in the morning?"

"Hehe, I didn't miss you anyway, of course I have something to tell you." Zhou Wang said cheerfully, with an ambiguous light in his eyes.

Xu Chenyuan felt something was wrong when he saw it, he opened the door and came out, "Zhou Wang, tell me quickly, what the hell is going on!"

"Hahaha, it's really nothing, it's just that there is a girl looking for you outside the Ministry of War."

"Girl—" Xu Chenyuan almost vomited, "After I came to the capital and entered the Ministry of War, I didn't see any girls. Don't talk nonsense, okay?"

"Who the hell is talking nonsense? If you don't believe me, go out and have a look. She looks really tall and straight. She can't be your friend in my hometown."

Seeing what Zhou Wang said so well, Xu Chenyuan believed it a little bit, "Someone is really looking for me?"

"Really, what are you doing lying to you! Hurry up and go out and have a look, or everyone will leave!"

"Okay, I'll go out and have a look. If I know that you lied to me, let's see if I don't strangle you to death."

As Xu Chenyuan said, he quickly walked towards the gate of the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

After the threshold, he looked around.

"Hey! What are you looking at!"

Suddenly, a smiling figure flashed behind him.

Xu Chenyuan paused, "Ah! Boss!"

"Hmph! You also know that you have a boss!" Meng Qianyan just poked him on the forehead, "Look at you, you have worked in the Ministry of War, and you even wear armor. You really look good. What's the matter? Boss forgot?"

Xu Chenyuan was pleasantly surprised and embarrassed at the same time, he scratched his head, "Hey, boss, how could I forget you, I will always remember you."

"Then why don't you come to me? Are you still waiting for me to come to you?"

"Oh——" Xu Chenyuan sighed, "Boss, you are not in the military department. You don't know. The military department is very strict. There are so many things these days, and my legs are almost broken."

Meng Qianyan didn't know much about the Ministry of War, so he heard Luo Ziyan mention it occasionally.

I heard that all military status, ordnance, military orders, and training of soldiers and horses are all under the control of the Ministry of War.

So looking at it this way, it is indeed a bit hard in the Ministry of War.

Meng Qianyan slapped his hands, "Okay, for the sake of your hard work, I won't argue with you anymore."

"Hey, hello, sir." Xu Chenyuan looked Meng Qianyan up and down again, "Oh, boss, you say you are a princess, and you live in the son-in-law's mansion, why are you so casual? look."

"I casually—"

"Yeah, the guy who was in the same room with me just now said that you are a good friend from my hometown."

"I pounce—"

Meng Qianyan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, "We don't look like a couple."

"That's right, this person's eyesight is not good."

Xu Chenyuan looked at Meng Qianyan, "Hey, Boss, I'm also really curious, why you have become a princess bit by bit."

"Oh, it's a long story."

"It's a long story, so let's have a meal together. This time, I've already saved money, and I'm just waiting to invite the boss to dinner."

"So caring, okay, you get busy first, we'll have a meal at Huibin Building over there at noon."

"okay!"

After talking with Xu Chenyuan, Xu Chenyuan went back to work.

And Meng Qianyan strolled nearby.

The military office is located to the north of the imperial palace. I don’t know if it’s because it’s close to the military department. Many shops near here are blacksmith shops and weapon shops.

Going further north, you can also see many merchants buying and selling horse saddles.

Based on what she saw and heard in the past two days, she also came to a conclusion.

The capital is in a square shape, with the imperial palace in the center. There are many merchants in the south, and most of them are people who deal in silk, cloth, tea and other businesses.On the east side, there are more pharmacies, medical clinics and the like.On the west side, it seems that there are several famous schools and books in the capital. This is the first time I have come to the north side, and there are many weapons and horses.

Thinking about it this way, although the business in this capital city is prosperous, it has some limitations.

For example, if ordinary people in the north want to buy some cloth clothes, they have to go to the south, which is far enough.

And the few smaller silk shops in the north, because the business is small and not well-known, so the business is not very good.

So this is very suitable for the development of chain stores.

For example, Weiluo Silk Store, after it is established, will open a chain of branches one by one, so that it can be found everywhere in the east, west, north, and south of the entire capital.

Could it be that the wealth is rolling in.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help covering the corners of her mouth and laughing.

After going back, go to discuss with the second uncle.

"Boss, what are you doing?"

Xu Chenyuan appeared out of nowhere and patted Meng Qianyan on the shoulder.

Meng Qianyan gave him a white look, "Scared me, it's still so big or small."

"Heihe, anyway, the boss is not the kind of person who cares about dignity."

"Hmph, you figured it out too, go, treat me to dinner."

Xu Chenyuan was indeed more generous than last time, and he ordered eight dishes.

"All right, all right, just the two of us, don't ask for so much."

Meng Qianyan put it into his mouth chopstick after chopstick, while stopping Xu Chenyuan.

Xu Chenyuan was triumphant, "Boss, I really saved a lot of money this time."

"Where did you get the money? You saved a lot just by using monthly bills?"

"Where is that enough, Boss, let me tell you, I am now appreciated by my superiors, and they will give me rewards every now and then. Maybe in the future, I will also have an official title."

"Yo, not bad, Xu Chenyuan, I didn't embarrass your boss."

"That must be done without embarrassment. By the way, boss, you haven't told me why you have become the emperor's adopted daughter?"

While eating, Meng Qianyan briefly told Xu Chenyuan what happened these days.

After Xu Chenyuan finished listening, he was dumbfounded, "Boss, you really deserve to be the boss. If it weren't for the emperor's kindness, you would really lose your mind."

"Who says no? Fortunately, I'm out now."

Xu Chenyuan shook his head, "Come out, but the boss has already offended the fifteenth prince, which shows that the fifteenth prince will not let you go in the future."

"I understand this, and I have no choice but to say the same thing, the soldiers will cover up the water and the earth."

"Hehe, you are indeed the boss of my family, open-minded!"

"Yes, Xu Chenyuan, let me tell you the truth, I'm not just talking to you for nothing."

"Then the boss is looking for me for something?"

"Yeah, I want to ask you something. I want you to ask me about it."
