The Golden County Magistrate

"But it's a little small. How many words can be written on it?"

"It's even more difficult to use it for painting."

She pondered.

Bai Lu smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, please open it and read it."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yun opened the cover and took a closer look. She was stunned.

The characters inside were crooked, like a novice writer, but the fineness of the characters was unheard of!

Each character was only one inch square, with delicate strokes. There were more than a hundred characters on one page.

Bai Lu then took out the fountain pen, handed it over, and repeated Chen Yan's words one by one.

"This pen is really extraordinary. I just used it and I'm not very skilled. But after writing more, I feel a little more skilled. With time, I should be able to write better." Bai Lu finished speaking and added a sentence.

The main reason was that the characters written on it were indeed too ugly, which made her a little embarrassed.

"There is such a delicate pen in the world!" Tang Yun was also shocked, looking at the pen back and forth.

"If your Majesty likes it, this pen will be given to your Majesty." Bai Lu said tactfully.

"That's not necessary. Chen Yan must have more than one." Tang Yun calmed down, "This is considered official business. You can go back and report the public account of these ten taels of silver."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Bai Lu was secretly happy and thanked her quickly.

Ten taels of silver is also a considerable expense for her. If it can be reimbursed, it would be great.

"But this makes me interested, Chen Yan, Chen Yan, you sell this pen to Bai Lu, your intention is too obvious, ha! Well, let Zhou's Chamber of Commerce take over this business." Tang Yun smiled slightly and said to herself.

She knew a lot about Chen Yan. He wanted to make a lot of money in everything. He deliberately sold the money to Bai Lu this time, just to let her, the owner of Zhou's Chamber of Commerce, see it through Bai Lu's hand.

According to common sense, she would be interested in such a novel and extremely useful thing, and naturally wanted to do this fountain pen business with him.

At that moment, Bai Lu reported the matters he had recorded to Tang Yun one by one.

After the latter asked about the relevant details in detail, he nodded and said, "You will go to He's house later and tell He Aiqing about these matters. He should know them in his mind."

The business of Yaochi Xianniang has stabilized these days, and it is indeed time to gradually start other businesses.

After dark, the mansion of the Minister of the Earth.

He Jinyao and a group of confidants of Zhou's Chamber of Commerce discussed for a full hour before finalizing everything.

After Bai Lu brought the news, He Jinyao knew that his hair would turn a lot whiter.

The meat shop business has been almost ready, but the sugar, salt, iron, ice and other businesses have not yet been officially launched. The preparations required will take more than one day.

He has been exhausted from the business of Yao Chi Xian Niang these days, and now he has no time to sleep.

However, even though he is tired, he is still full of energy. Zhou's Chamber of Commerce used to worry about the business that could not make money. Now, relying on the cooperation with Chen Yan, the business is getting bigger and bigger. How can he not be happy?

After all his subordinates left, he was flipping through the distribution map of Yao Chi Xian Niang's franchise stores and preparing to study it when the servants outside shouted: "Mr. Huang is here!"

Before He Jinyao had time to ask which Mr. Huang it was, Huang Liangge's voice came from outside: "I have such a good relationship with your master, there is no need to inform him, I will go in by myself."

He Jinyao hurriedly got up to greet him, and saw Huang Liangge stepping in with a smile on his face.

"Prime Minister Huang, you are so busy, how can you have time to come to my humble home?" He Jinyao was a little surprised, and welcomed him into the hall to sit down, and ordered the servants to pour tea.

"Wait a minute, it's rare for me to come to your place this time. Isn't it a bit shabby to treat guests with tea?" Huang Liangge said with a smile.

"Oh, my tea is not ordinary tea, but..." He Jinyao was not good at social etiquette, so he said casually.

"With my face, isn't it enough to drink a pot of Yaochi fairy wine from you?" Huang Liangge interrupted him directly.

"Ah?" He Jinyao was stunned.

"At this point, Jinyao, are you still trying to hide it from me?" Huang Liangge stared at him, "The Yaochi fairy wine last time was not given to you by others, right? You run it yourself, right?"

He Jinyao was very surprised, although Huang Liangge knew that the emperor wanted the Ministry of Revenue to do business to fill the void in the treasury.

But Huang Liangge didn't know about the Zhou Chamber of Commerce.

In fact, apart from He Jinyao, who was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and several of his confidants, no one in the court knew about this.

Even Tang Yun was only known after He Jinyao confessed himself.

But how could Huang Liangge know about this?

"Haha! I guessed it right!" Huang Liangge saw him stunned and laughed.

"Ah, no, I just didn't understand what Prime Minister Huang meant." He Jinyao came back to his senses and said.He looked surprised, "What do you mean I run Yaochi Xianniang? I am totally confused by what you said!"

The emperor has issued an order not to tell others about the Zhou Chamber of Commerce.

Regardless of whether Huang Liangge really knew it, He Jinyao could not admit it.

Huang Liangge stared at him for a long time, and his smile gradually disappeared.

"So you really don't know? Well, Jinyao, tell me, in one month, you have collected more than 500,000 taels of silver. How did you collect it?" Huang Liangge asked in a deep voice.

He Jinyao finally understood.

This guy was just guessing!

Huang Liangge is also a fan of Yaochi Xianniang, so he naturally knows that this thing is popular recently.

Coincidentally, the Ministry of Revenue has collected so much silver for disaster relief, and the astute Huang Xiang immediately connected the two together.

After thinking this through, He Jinyao flatly denied it: "Of course I did some business, but please don't ask what kind of business it was, Minister Huang. The emperor said that no one can tell me if they ask. If Minister Huang really wants to know, please ask the emperor directly."

Huang Liangge was speechless for a moment.

He wanted to ask Tang Yun, but Tang Yun was a little disgusted with him now, so it was probably useless to ask.

He Jinyao tried to probe: "I am a little curious, I don't know why Minister Huang wants to inquire about this?"

Huang Liangge snorted: "As the left servant of Wenchangtai, I care about national affairs, isn't it okay?"

He Jinyao saw that he looked a little forced and flustered, and his heart moved.

Huang Liangge has always had a good appetite, could it be...

He thought about it and said: "Minister Huang, could it be that you think the Yaochi fairy wine is from my hand, so you want to ask me for it?"

Huang Liangge froze!

He Jinyao saw his reaction and knew that he was right. He laughed: "So that's why!"

Huang Liangge blushed and said unhappily: "So what? It's a pity that Yaochi Xianniang is sold in limited quantities. It's really... Alas! It's a pity that you are not the boss behind the scenes. What's the point of saying this now?"

Seeing his anger and helplessness, He Jinyao almost couldn't help but help him.

Yaochi Xianniang still insists on the reservation system. Even if you queue up for reservations every day, you can only buy one or two bottles a day at most. For a glutton like Huang Liangge, it is really a torment.

Although the old man is disliked by the emperor for being noisy, he is an important official in the court after all. He has devoted half his life to the Great Zhou. It's not a bad idea to help him...

But He Jinyao hesitated for a moment and suppressed this idea.

The emperor has ordered that it cannot be leaked. If he is exposed, wouldn't it be a betrayal of the emperor's grace?
