[Caiyun Kingdom] The beginning of people

Although I knew that Lan Xuena asked me to go out for a walk because I wanted to have some fun, but I still nodded and gave up my life to accompany the gentleman.He dragged me slowly down the street, and while chatting casually, he took me into a clothing store under the Lan Family.He gestured back and forth on my head with the hairpin, and I turned my head to cover my face.

...Why do people born in aristocratic families always care about things that have no importance at all?

"Xiao Lan is always careless about what she wears," Lan Xuena gently pulled out the hairpin on my head, "You need to know that people depend on their clothes."

"But for example, even if I wear true blue, I am not the head of the Lan family." Sometimes it is necessary to pay attention to the occasion when dressing, but I don't think it is necessary to pay too much attention to the clothes.

"Yes, what San Niang said is right, the clothes on your body will not change you, and how others see you will not change your essence, the quality is always clean. But," he waved his hand to be ashamed Picking up some selected things, crossing my arms, I turned around and smiled at me, "Sanniang doesn't live on an isolated island."

It seems that today really bothered him.I sniffed my still uncomfortable nose, smiled wryly and shook my head.Also, when interacting with people, appropriate clothing does have its role.There is a story that when a brilliant scientist presented his paper for the first time, the attendees didn't listen to him at all because he was dressed in rags; The same content once, but this time everyone stood and clapped after his report.People should not be judged by their appearance, but in fact, ask yourself, how many people can ignore their appearance?

But in the blink of an eye, Lan Xue's mature and gentle image was shattered again.He smiled and said, "Especially Sanniang's background is low, and she always has to deal with little bugs. Do you want to be independent like my Longlian? Go ahead and dream."

The blue veins on my forehead popped out faintly.Fuck you fucking aristocrat, what do I think has anything to do with my parentage.

After a while, I covered my mouth and laughed.Forget it, this is the Lan Xuena I know.

Lan Xuena picked out things for me for a long time, and then called the maid to stuff me into the inner room to change my clothes.It’s not that bad, it’s just that I changed my matching to be more refined, the dark patterns of incense, jade pendants, purses, clothing materials and inconspicuous inlays on hairpins, the changes in details have not only raised the style of the whole person a step.I looked in the mirror and continued to twitch my lips.It turns out that not only makeup is a magic weapon, but famous brands are also a powerful weapon. I finally understand why some women worship money──If you are a little unsteady, you will be tempted.sin, sin.

It looks good, but I don't really like this style.The maid raised the beaded curtain for me, I walked out, and said with a smile: "Sect Master Lan really has a good mood today?"

Lan Xuena propped her elbows on the coffee table, and rested her chin on her palm, "San Niang seems to be quite interested."

I looked at him with a smile.

"... Sanniang?" Lan Xuena looked at me, and suddenly twitched the corner of her mouth.

I'll let you know what's wrong with shopping with women, hahahaha.

Back in the mansion at night, Xin Zi handed me a letter.What was written in the letter was that Chai Lin hoped that I would go to Beijing as soon as possible.What Chai Lin means is what Zheng Youshun means, and what Zheng Youshun means... I smiled and went to wash up. The next morning, I took my horse out of Jade Dragon City and set off for Guiyang, Zizhou.

As soon as I entered the capital, someone delivered a letter—it was ordered by the king to let me enter the palace immediately.

So why, I probably know, don't worry.

I smiled, and kept asking: "It's just that the lady just came back from another place, and she has a lot of dust and dust. If you describe it like this, I really dare not meet His Majesty. I don't know if I can let the lady go back to the house to change clothes first?"

The envoy refused, "The Holy Majesty, Monk Shuling and other adults are discussing important matters, so there should be no delay."

"May I ask what crimes the women have committed?" I seemed to deny it, so I smiled and said, "Then why does your lord act as if he is going to take the women into the palace?" The Huang family meant to watch But Lan Xuena is reminding me to put on a high profile, I might as well wait a little longer and follow their wishes to make a test first.

After returning home to change my clothes, I will let Xinzi prepare a sedan chair to enter the palace.

"Miss," Xin Zi helped me into the sedan chair, "Why are you dressing up all of a sudden?" She curled her lips, "It's so troublesome."

I laughed out loud, and tapped on the car body with my fingers, "Posture, is this a gesture?" To be honest, this pretending to be rich and powerful is quite amusing once in a while, hahahaha.I reached out and flicked the jingle on my ear to play around.

"Ah, I see," Xin Zi put down the curtain of the sedan chair, woke up the sedan chair, and walked beside him, "Are you a beauty trick?"

I bent over laughing.Some people say that I am a beauty, I am really touched.

Xin Zi stuck out her tongue at me by the window, "I lied to you, do you really believe it?"

"...Girl, um, I'm actually not bad looking..."

"It's just for fun. People get angry in the palace, but you are fine, and you still have the mind to joke around."

Come on, you're in a good mood to joke too, don't make it sound like I'm the only one being mean.I smiled and said, "Xin Zi, in the art of war, it is said that the strong is soft and the outside is hidden in the smile, but if you use it old, you will become dull." I played with the jade pendant around my waist that I bought with Lan Xuena, "Occasionally It’s well worth a try.”

"Is this the layout for you?"

"The nobles have already started to set up this chess game." I lowered my head and smiled, "Am I not a son of Huang and Lan?"

What Huang and Lan want to see is the current situation in the court, but what I want to see is the attitude of the ghost Zheng Youshun.

The sedan chair stopped in front of the palace gate, Xin Zi and others stayed outside, and I followed the palace people into the magnificent Caiyun Kingdom Palace.After repeated transmissions, I finally entered the Imperial Study Room.

"Minister Zhang Sanniang," I bowed my head on the ground, "I have seen Your Majesty." Inside the room were Zi Liuhui, Zheng Youshun who has become a minister, Wang Ji, a servant under the door, and Kui Huangyi, the official censor.

"Sanniang please get up." Zi Liuhui said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." I smiled and stood up.

"I don't know about the recent market conditions of the All-Commerce Federation," You Shun, who was standing beside Zi Liuhui, said, "Have you also noticed it?"

I looked up at You Shun and smiled, "I don't know what Master Zheng Shangshu said?"

He also responded with a smile, indifferent to my pretentiousness, contrary to the long-term temptation of the past, and responded to my high profile today in a straight-forward way, "It is a matter of counterfeit paintings and counterfeit coins."

You Shun really shouldn't be underestimated, troublesome person.If I follow his straight line to discuss counterfeit paintings and counterfeit coins, the initiative will fall into his hands; The posture change will have no effect, and it is also a typo.

So, I pretended to be surprised and said, "Huh? The women thought they were talking about salt and iron?"

"Salt, iron?" Zi Liuhui called out, it seemed that he really didn't know about it yet.

I glanced at Zi Liuhui, and then at Youshun, to see how he was going to deal with the sudden issue.

But there is no way to see You Shun surprised.He fanned the lupine in his hand, smiled calmly and said, "President Zhang, what do you mean by salt and iron?"

"Reporting to my lord, the prices of salt and iron on the market in some states have continued to rise recently. This is really a strange fluctuation when there is no natural disaster."

"Oh? There is such a thing? Could you please ask President Zhang to explain in more detail? Salt and iron are important issues related to people's livelihood. Since President Zhang brought it up, we also have the responsibility to find out."

I cheered secretly.He threw the ball back to me, and in turn asked me to provide information for free, and used it as an introduction for You Shun to lead out the Yan and Iron case—with Chai Lin here, I don't believe You Shun would not know about the Yan and Iron case.I rolled up my sleeves, and said, "This... the women don't know too well, it's just that the market price has risen. The All-Commerce Federation is just a trading platform for merchants, not a well-organized organization. This... the women are also Nothing can be done.” I avoided the salt and iron information, but was brought back to the tug-of-war of playing dumb.Or, since I say I am incompetent, let's see how he wants me to contribute to the counterfeit paintings and counterfeit coins.

"That's a pity," said You Shun, but there was no hint of pity on his expression, "It turns out that the All-Commerce Federation is such an organization."

I chuckled, "Master Zheng has been in Chazhou for many years, so he should understand that the Quanshang Federation is limited." I am not afraid of being provoked by others, but you have received the help of Quanshang Federation in Chazhou, but you do not recognize anyone and speak ill of others. I'm afraid that it will come true and push away the help of the businessman.

You Shun took a step back and gave up the temptation, "President Zhang is serious, your heart for the country and the people is well known in the world, and there is no need to be too concerned about not being able to help with salt and iron." He said this kind of thing. Without blushing or beating heart, "There is one other thing, I think President Zhang can definitely help."

There were comings and goings, he took a step back, and I stopped pretending to be incompetent, and turned to the topic, replying to the high profile I planned to use today, "Master Zheng, please speak."

"It's the counterfeit paintings and counterfeit coins that you mentioned just now. I think President Zhang has also heard about it?"

I only said four words: "I have heard it."

You Shun patiently said: "The counterfeit is only the first layer. The criminal's real purpose is to sell the counterfeit coins out of the market in order to make huge profits."

I frowned and said, "There is such a thing? Then I have to inform the other merchants as soon as possible to prevent everyone from suffering losses. The lady thanked Mr. Zheng for reminding me." Now I love this tactic to death.

"Wait a minute, President Zhang," You Shun said with a smile, "I mean, can the All-Commerce Federation press this news? In fact, I have already asked my wife, Chai Lin, who is the president of the Chazhou branch, to assist in this matter." , I just hope that Chairman Zhang can expand the scope of assistance.”

"That's right, Mrs. Lin has been in Chazhou for a long time, and she failed to intervene in the Zizhou matter. This matter is so serious, no wonder Mr. Zheng let the women into the palace." In this matter, Chai Lin is not your bargaining chip, Don't think of being a white wolf with me empty-handed—by the way, the president of the Zizhou branch is mine, and without my orders, he will not be easily manipulated by the court.

"Then when will President Unknown Chapter finish this matter?"

...I haven't promised anything at all yet.I looked at Zi Liuhui, "Don't dare to lie to Your Majesty, this matter will cause heavy losses to private merchants, especially small traders, once deceived once, it is possible to go bankrupt. If this matter is not made public so that everyone Be alert, this..."

"President Zhang's concerns are also understood by the imperial court." It was still You Shun who answered me, "This is only a temporary measure. The imperial court will soon eliminate the perpetrators. The purpose of covering up the news is to paralyze the criminals and prevent the people from Some insignificant things affect the order of the market and cause chaos, which in turn leads to greater losses.”

The reason I put on a high profile is so that I can ask at this moment: "But Mr. Zheng, how fast is this "fast"? What should we do with the losses of the merchants during the period? The women know that it is right not to panic the people, but they didn't let some The way of the small businessman's family." Zheng Youshun and I looked at each other, "I hope Mr. Zheng will make it clear." I can't allow me to continue to provide unconditional support to the court after I take office.This time it's not a disaster or a plague, but a deal. I have to be strong to get this done. It's an impression of me being too weak since I took office.Monthly arrangement, only in one night.

Zheng Youshun turned to Kui Huangyi who was standing aside, "Speaking of which, Mr. Kui, it's Yushitai's job to close this case, right?"

... If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, I would have laughed.puff!This Zheng Youshun will never fall even if he sticks with me for three days and three nights. If he gave in so quickly today, he might have been waiting here long ago to lead the flames of war to Huang Yi and watch the fire from the other side, hahahaha.I turned to Huang Yi, feeling a bit like You Shun in taking time off—I am the lead singer today, and if I can't run away, I don't know how Huang Yi will continue to perform.

With a cold face, Huang Yi quickly glanced at the smiling You Shun with his gray-blue eyes, then turned to me, and said quickly and clearly: "First, block the news; second, give Find out where the counterfeit and counterfeit coins were found; thirdly, to compensate the silver, this is the responsibility of the Ministry of Households, and has nothing to do with this official.”

I covered my mouth and smiled, and said slowly: "How dare women disobey the orders of the officials? Even if it's difficult, you have to obey. Mr. Kui, is this what you mean?" Who dares to give orders like this? We are all against the Chamber of Commerce.

Zi Liuhui was held down by You Shun, and You Shun and Wang Ji wouldn't say anything to provoke their upper body, so Huang Yi was left.He was silent for a moment, then stared at me closely, and said, "Chairman Zhang, does this mean to challenge the imperial court?"

I also answered immediately, meeting his gaze, "Women don't dare, the Federation of Commerce and Industry will do its best no matter how difficult it is." At worst, it's a matter of not working hard and breaking up at once, how dare you?

He didn't let me have a chance to breathe. As soon as I finished speaking, Huang Yi continued, "With the cooperation of President Zhang, the case of Yushitai will be closed within a month."

I wouldn't let him have a chance, and immediately said to him: "Master Aoi's words are trustworthy." I can cooperate, but, "The merchants who have been cheated of money during this period, please take care of Mrs. Aoi. "

"Only pay a quarter." He still answered quickly.

"Half." I still responded quickly.

"two over five."

"half."

"Two out of five." He kept a straight face, and the conditions remained the same.

"Three out of five." I said with a smile.

"two over five."

"Two-thirds."

"two over five."

"Five sixths."

"half."

"Thank you, Master Kui."

"There is Chairman Lao Zhang."

The longer the time, the more money the imperial court will have to pay. I am not afraid that they will delay things and cause heavy losses to the merchants, which will affect my support in the business world.Play fast with fast, and finally settle the matter, splitting the situation half-fifty.Huang Yi and I looked at each other for a while, and turned our eyes away at the same time.

Zi Liuhui coughed softly, "...Ah, well, the matter is settled like this, there are Chairman Lao Zhang and Chief Kui."

When I got out of the imperial study, I rolled my sleeves and pursed my lips.My performance today was not as good as expected. I clearly had the upper hand, but I was still tied evenly by You Shun and Huang Yi.I exhaled lightly and laughed.Forget it, after all, no one has suffered a loss, and my stalking today has also seen some truth.

The silent peak season is too indifferent to this matter. His character is not the type to ignore people's livelihood. He is indifferent on the surface, but behind the scenes, I am the first to not believe that he has nothing to do with this case.Interfering with salt and minting money can be for the purpose of rebellion, or it can be to create chaos, and to create momentum for the salt and iron officials he recently proposed in the court.This proposal is to divide the power of the household department. If it is done and this position is assigned to the peak season, it will eventually turn back to the road of rebellion.I got through the drama, not really surprised, it's just Youshun's attitude... I frowned and walked out slowly, but was stopped by someone.

"Chairman Zhang." A deep male voice sounded from behind me.

I turned around and saluted with a smile, "I met Aoi-sama."

"Is the president of the unknown chapter free to take a step to speak?"

I bowed my head and said, "Of course."

We walked a little farther, and arrived at a corner of the palace, looking side by side at the tung tree full of white flowers in early summer under the empty corridor.I don't know how long we were silent like this, until my legs felt a little sore, Huang Yi finally spoke.

"Chairman Zhang," he turned around and faced me, "except for counterfeit paintings and counterfeit coins, salt and iron, I will release as much information as you have in your hand."

I also turned around, facing Huang Yi, "The woman only heard the general idea, and doesn't know anything else."

"This officer can increase the amount of compensation to two-thirds."

"The woman thanked Mrs. Kui in advance, but the woman can only understand." I shook my head lightly, indicating that this is not a question of conditions, but an impossibility.I just gave the information to the imperial court. If this continues, the All-Commerce Federation may gradually become the imperial court's pawns. Therefore, cooperation should be limited.

Huang Yi didn't say any more, I bent down to express my apology.Just as we fell into silence again, the early summer breeze blew the tung tree, and small white five-star flowers fell from the tree, covering the ground.Huang Yi and I both turned our heads and looked out of the corridor.

"Do you recognize this kind of flower?" Huang Yi crossed his arms.

I nodded, "This is a tung tree. I didn't expect it to be in the palace." I smiled and said, "Its fruit can't be eaten, but it can be processed into tung oil for lacquer. The trunk is high-quality wood, which can The sap can be used to make musical instruments, and the sap can be used to make glue. When I was in Hongzhou, I often saw artificially cultivated tung tree farms." This delicate flower with pink and pink in white, smells of copper all over, but because of this It adds to its existence value and feeds many business people.

He asked, "Do you know the flower language of tung tree?"

I shook my head and laughed—he didn't recognize the commercially valuable tung tree, but he was proficient in its flower language.

Huang Yi gave me a cold look, then lowered his arms, and said, "Chairman Zhang, since I am so serious, I don't want to force you," he was talking about the matter that I was asked to provide information earlier, and erased the momentary digression just now. Let's go, "I still hope that there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

I lowered my smile just now, kept the angle of my mouth slightly raised, lowered my head slightly and said politely: "Master Aoi speaks seriously, this is what a woman should do."

"President Zhang." He made a gesture of invitation and wanted to send me out of the palace.

"Master Lao Kui."

I walked half a step behind him on the way I walked back and forth, but as soon as I got back to the main hall, a small official walked up to us and blocked our way.The little official first saluted Huang Yi, and then bowed to me.

"Excuse me, is this the chapter chairman?"

I nodded, "I am. I don't know what's going on?"

The little official lowered his head and handed me a letter with both hands, "This is a letter from my lord's family, saying it's urgent."

Urgent?

The author has something to say:
