230 The eve of the banquet
Nuhachi looked at the man in front of him who was different from the one he saw during the day, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked alert, "Who the hell are you?"

"I haven't figured it out yet." Gu Wu tutted and shook his head with a sigh, "You really can't do it. Your Majesty and Empress recognized you as a member of the Eagle Clan at a glance."

Your Majesty, Queen? !

Nuhachi reacted, he grabbed the two fences in the prison, and glared at Zhou Ximing, "It turns out that you have already guessed our plan, that's why we set up such a big trap in Suicheng. Waiting for us to drill in."

"En." Zhou Ximing responded, "If you want food, you can trade it openly and aboveboard, why bother so much."

"An aboveboard deal?" Nuhachi sneered, "Now that the food supply in the Central Plains is starting to shrink, how can you guys sell it to us if you know it?"

Nuhachi was right to be worried.

If this matter is placed in the court, it will inevitably cause controversy among the ministers, and the final result of the discussion will indeed be nothing.

However, what Zhou Ximing said was aboveboard did not mean dealing with the court, but with the grain shop.

Bai Susu held Zhou Ximing's hand, her face was as gentle as before, "Who said it was a deal with the court, it was a deal with me. The grain you bought is also the grain of my Bai family shop."

"Isn't it still the imperial court using your name to distribute food everywhere?" Nuhachi snorted coldly, feeling that there was no reason for it.

Bai Susu didn't refute his point of view, but liked him to continue to misunderstand it, but put it another way, "Sending the post to the court is a matter between the two countries, but if it is sent to the Bai family shop, it is just a businessman's relationship." transactions between

Nuhachi vaguely understood something.

"However," Bai Susu changed the subject, "I'm going to charge some interest for you to calculate my shop like this."

Nuhachi suddenly raised his head, and the hostility that had just subsided suddenly rose again.

"You always have to pay a price for doing these things under our noses." Bai Susu said the final verdict in the most gentle tone, "You should be reunited with your people in a while."

Zhou Ximing ignored Nuhachi, but looked at Gu Wu, "Before you take part in the palace examination, go to Dali Temple first to get familiar with the environment."

"The emperor wants to arrange for me to go to Dali Temple?" Gu Wu's eyes lit up, and he immediately leaned over, staring at him closely, "Caomin dare to ask, what position is it?"

"It depends on your performance in the imperial examination." Zhou Ximing replied in a low tone.

Examination performance...

"it is good!"

Gu Wu waited for a while, saw Zuo Shaoqing from Dali Temple coming, and took Nuhachi away like a cage. Gu Wu also called on his boss first, and left with a smile.

Seeing that these people had left, Bai Susu couldn't help yawning, and leaned into Zhou Ximing's arms, "It's getting late, let's go back first."

"Okay." Zhou Ximing directly hugged Bai Susu in his arms, and leaned her against his arms, "If you are sleepy, sleep for a while, and I will carry you away."

"You don't think I'm heavy?" During this period of time, Bai Susu ate a lot of sweets, and Bai Susu felt that she gained a lot of weight.

"Madam is not heavy."

Seeing what he said, Bai Susu stretched out her arms to wrap his arms around his neck, nestled in his arms, and obediently did not move again.

After returning to the palace tonight, Bai Susu had no chance to leave the palace for the next ten days.Now that the people from the Eagle Clan are about to come to the capital, Bai Susu and the people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households began to discuss about holding a banquet.

Hubu Shangshu is a person who can't get used to Bai Susu everywhere, and Zhou Ximing didn't let him bother Bai Susu, but let the Hubu Minister take charge of this matter.

The ministers in the court thought about this, and wanted to make the emperor take back his order.But before he could open his mouth, he was blocked alive by Zhou Ximing's next sentence.

He said: "If the business is delayed because of a disagreement between him and the queen, who will be responsible?"

The ministers stopped talking.In front of the queen and Hubu Shangshu, the ministers chose the queen.

It's also because Bai Susu got rid of him from the source, and Bai Susu did it smoothly.

Tang Jianshan saw the delicate plates designed by Bai Susu, and looked at Bai Susu curiously, "Queen, why did you design these plates in such a way?"

"It's convenient to pack all kinds of dishes, and it's also to enhance the color of the dishes." Bai Susu knew that the blunt words were not true, so she brought over the plate of dim sum on the table.

She put some dim sum on oiled paper, and put the other dim sum on the tray, and motioned to Tang Jianshan, "Which one do you think is more expensive?"

Tang Jianshan understood, and asked again: "Are all the specifications in the banquet according to the medium?"

"Well, it's been like this in the past dynasties, and it won't change this time." Bai Susu looked down at the document in her hand, and asked again: "The dishes about sweet potatoes and potatoes must be served earlier."

"Yes." Tang Jianshan responded.

Bai Susu looked at the master of the Ministry of Industry again, "Are the potato seedlings and sweet potato seedlings ready?"

"Of course it's ready." The Lord of the Ministry of Industry nodded, "I just don't know how much money the queen wants to sell it for?"

"Free gift." Bai Susu replied, looked at the surprised Master of the Ministry of Industry, and showed a gentle smile, "But the method of planting is sold for 500 taels of gold."

Seeds are easy to get, and now every household in the northwest grows them, but you can buy these seedlings with a little research.But the suitable planting method there is rare.

Tang Jianshan couldn't help laughing when he heard that Bai Susu wanted 500 taels of gold, "Those people probably wouldn't buy the queen's method at first, but chose to study it by themselves."

After all, 500 taels of gold is actually a bit much.

"It doesn't matter. If there is no business deal at the banquet, after the banquet is over, the price will be raised to 800 taels of gold." Bai Susu didn't show any sign of softening her heart. She looked at Tang Jianshan and said, "When the time comes, I will invite you back." Lord Rites will cooperate."

"Naturally." Tang Jianshan responded immediately, asked the people at the side to hold the plate back for a while, and stood up, "Since the matter has been negotiated, I will leave first."

Bai Susu nodded.

The Master of the Ministry of Industry looked at Bai Susu, "I don't know why the queen and the generals stayed here?"

"There is one thing that I need to be made by the Ministry of Industry." Bai Susu handed the drawings to the Master of the Ministry of Industry. Improve these farm implements."
