The feudal lord is on Taobao every day

Chapter 36 Responsibilities

After making up his mind, Xie Jingan didn't feel so flustered anymore. While watching the tall and strong follower cut the long bar of soap into square pieces, he followed the words of Boss Qin, "Boss Qin said What's more, this king grew up beside his mother and concubine since he was a child. Even after Cheng Ding left the palace and opened his mansion, he would always go to pay his respects to his mother and concubine. Seeing the last time, the mother and concubine must have been very worried. If the emperor had not summoned the king to return to Chang'an, the king really wanted to go back to Chang'an immediately, and asked the concubine to see how the king is doing. I didn't lose weight and I ate well and slept well, but I gained two catties."

Xie Jingan's parents passed away early before he traveled, and before he could find a job after graduating from university, he used his first month's salary to honor them before being killed in a car accident. This is the biggest regret in Xie Jingan's life .

Although Concubine Hui was not his real mother after he crossed over, he took the body of her own son, and he should fulfill his filial piety for her due to emotion and reason. The concubine really loves the original owner, so Xie Jingan's words did indeed have a bit of sincerity in them.

Director Qin is the steward of Concubine Hui's mother's house, and was assigned to Xie Jingan as the head of the palace a few years ago. Naturally, he wholeheartedly planned for Concubine Hui and Xie Jingan. Seeing Xie Jingan say such words with a sad face, he was also hooked He recalled his thoughts, suppressed the bitterness in his heart, and comforted Xie Jingan, saying: "Your Majesty has been looking forward to making progress, if you know that His Highness has put so much effort in governing the fief and making so many rare things, I don't know how happy I am. Don't worry, Your Highness." When the villain returns to Chang'an and sees the empress, he will definitely tell the empress what His Royal Highness has done these days. The villain remembers that Mr. Liu is good at painting, so it is better to let Mr. Liu compare with His Highness's current appearance Draw a picture and let the villain take it back to Chang'an, so that the empress will have something to relieve her worries when she thinks of His Highness in the future."

Director Qin's words were all for the sake of Concubine Hui and Xie Jingan, how could Xie Jingan not agree, and said with a smile: "Director Qin's idea is very good, I think it works, after lunch I have free time Now, let him go into the palace to draw a picture for the king, but Director Qin is not in a hurry to return to Chang'an. After all, Mozhou is far away from Chang'an, and it is rare to go there once a year. Seeing that it is the end of the new year, It can also be regarded as the gift that the king sent to the mother and concubine. It is a gift, so how can it be so shabby? Furthermore, it is not easy to leave the father and the queen behind, as well as the prince and so many younger brothers of the king. Sisters, you have to bring them one by one, let’s do it, Director Qin prepares first, and let me think about it, what rare things can I bring to my father, queen, mother, and these many younger brothers and sisters.”

After Xie Jingan said these words, he went straight to think about it, but Director Qin almost shed tears when he heard it, and muttered in his mouth that His Highness finally became enlightened, and the eyes that looked at Xie Jingan became more and more relieved.

Xie Jingan was thinking seriously at first, but when he looked at him like this, he suddenly came back to his senses, turned his head to meet his eyes and saw his gratified eyes, and felt that goose bumps were about to arise. , the way his mother looked at him when he helped his mother wash the dishes for the first time?

Thinking of what happened when he was a child, Xie Jingan's eyes darkened unavoidably, but soon he cheered up again, directing his servants and followers to be busy around.

With something to do at hand, the days passed extremely quickly, and in a blink of an eye, there was only one day left before he would entertain the aristocratic family. Xie Jingan was so busy every day that he didn't touch the ground, and finally made roughly the few things he wanted to make.

It's just that the glass needs to be fired in a kiln, so it's hard to master the temperature and composition ratio. Xie Jingan tried it twice and failed to fire it. He knew that he couldn't force it, so he didn't force the craftsmen any more. He only asked them to try boldly. Come out and report to him.

There is such a money-burning thing that is in operation all the time, and the finances of Prince Xie Jingan's mansion are running into a deficit. If it weren't for the fact that there are only two days left before the banquet, as a feudal lord, it is not easy for him to change his orders. Please come to those aristocratic families and get more money from them.

Tomorrow is the day for the banquet, Xie Jingan has no time to spare, and he is busy inside and outside the palace. In every corner of the palace, big and small, Director Qin ordered his servants to clean every corner, even the flower hall The Shoushan stones placed in front of them are all shiny after being scrubbed.

After scrubbing the palace, Manager Qin felt that the decorations in the flower hall were shabby and unworthy of Xie Jingan's identity, so he hurriedly took the key to open the warehouse, picked left and right and moved out a lot of decorations that Xie Jingan brought when he came to Mozhou. With such a rearrangement, although the flower hall is not as large as Xie Jingan's in Chang'an, it is still considered elegant and extravagant.

Director Qin was busy with the layout of the palace, but Xie Jingan asked his servants to call Liu Guanshi from the dining room over in the study, and personally asked about the dishes for tomorrow's banquet.

These days Xie Jingan often dealt with the servants of the palace, Liu Guanshi was no stranger to it, and replied with a low eyebrow: "Reporting to Your Highness, the dishes for tomorrow's banquet will be made according to the list given by His Highness a few days ago Yes, other villains dare not say it, but these dishes are definitely the only ones in Mozhou, and they will definitely make those aristocratic princes feel rare, and want to eat them again after eating."

What Xie Jingan wanted to hear was this sentence. He spent so much effort to advertise this banquet. If the glass hadn't been made yet, he really wanted to replace the cups on the banquet with glass, so that those from those aristocratic families Take a good look at the young master. Although he is poor now and has lost the favor of the emperor, he has a lot of ways to make money. Only by following him can he make money and have meat to eat.

Thinking of the plan he had made for tomorrow's banquet, Xie Jingan felt that his back was no longer sore and his legs were no longer hurting. He was full of ambition, and he kindly told Guanshi Liu to make sure he cooks well tomorrow, and don't mess it up. He waved his hand to let him go down.

Liu Guanshi was sent away.Xie Jing'an went through all the matters of tomorrow's banquet again in his mind.

Although he failed to make the glass, but now he has white wine, soap, perfume, and monosodium glutamate, plus the hot kang team that is going on outside in full swing, and the honeycomb coal that will be launched soon, Xie Jingan also has enough in his hands to keep up with those A bargaining chip for family cooperation.

The aristocratic family has been regarded as the enemy of the royal family since ancient times. Now he can use these lucrative things to win people over, but sooner or later he will turn his face.

After all, although the money he earns can make the people in the fief prosper and the people rich, but if the fief is to be truly prosperous, it is necessary to set up schools, popularize knowledge, and enlighten the people.

As we all know, the reason why the aristocratic family is so detached and prosperous is because they control the scientific examination and the way to study. Since Xie Jingan wants to run a large school, it is to mobilize their interests and their foundation. , under this kind of conflict of interests, it is doomed to fight to the death.

Xie Jing'an almost foresaw the cruel scene of fighting openly and secretly in a few years' time. Although Xie Jing'an traveled to the Great Zhou Dynasty and worked so diligently just to make life easier for the people in the fief under his rule, but as the saying goes, great ability comes with responsibility. How big is it? Even though Xie Jingan thinks he is just an ordinary person and doesn't have that much ability, since he sits in this position and controls the life and death of the people in the thirteen states, no matter how difficult he faces, he must resist this responsibility. stand up.

The more he thought about it, the farther his thoughts spread, Xie Jingan thought for a while before he gradually retracted them. He was about to ask his servants to call Cui Tong in again to ask how the kang team was doing, when he heard Manager Qin say excitedly outside the room : "Your Highness, Zhao San is back. I'm asking to see Your Highness outside the house. Do you want to see Your Highness?"

Zhao San is back!Hearing these words, Xie Jingan immediately lifted his spirits, stood up from the chair excitedly, took two steps before remembering his identity, sat back down again and promised, "Let him in."

Going out for business for more than ten days, eating and sleeping in the wind, and the weather is so dry and cold, Zhao San looked a lot thinner, wearing thick clothes, his cheeks became thinner, and there were two cracks on his cheeks. Happily bowing down and saluting, he said without waiting for Xie Jingan to ask: "Your Highness, the villain has finished the matter, and the villain of seaweed growing on the rock will bring back an extra hundred and ten catties, so that the fellow villagers in the village of the villain will come back in the sun." It’s completely sun-dried, so it’s left in the yard, but you want the villain to bring the things in for His Highness to have a look at?”

There's no need to move it, you can see it when you walk out the door, Xie Jingan waved his hand, and told him that the king should go and see by himself, then got up and went out to the yard.

Sure enough, there were several large baskets made of bamboo strips in front of the study room in the yard, and there were many blackened weed-like things piled up in the baskets. Xie Jingan took a closer look, but it was not the dried seaweed he had seen before. ?

His monosodium glutamate is well established. Although it is better to use kelp to make monosodium glutamate, laver can be used to make do with it. Besides, laver grows on rocks by the sea, so it is easier to pick. It does not need to go to sea, even for women and children. Also picked.

Tomorrow is the day for the banquet of the aristocratic family. Although he bought some monosodium glutamate from Taobao, he did not make it himself. There might be a difference in taste. Xie Jingan has been worrying about this issue these days, so even though the sun has already set in the west, Xie Jingan still directs The servants moved the laver into the house and began to grind things.

This busy work lasted half the night, if Manager Qin hadn't urged him to let him rest quickly, Xie Jingan wished he could stare at them all night and let them toss about.

But what Director Qin said is also reasonable. Although MSG is important, tomorrow's banquet is even more important. This is the first time his feudal clan has met with various families since he arrived in the fiefdom. They all said that people's first impression is very important. Xie Jingan also pointed at the These aristocratic families spend money and food in their hands, so they really should nourish their energy to cope with tomorrow's big scene.
