Because of the lack of manpower for mining, Zhao Yueyao simply stopped letting people mine, but let them focus on making white jade cakes.

The white jade cakes made were sold in shops in the city. Zhao Yueyao had several half-dead shops in his hands, all of which were given by the princess.But apart from story books and games, he doesn't care about anything else.

After the princess got annoyed, she no longer took care of it. Those shops were struggling to maintain their income and expenditure every year, for fear of losing money.

For a while, the mobs on the mountain would not come down, so Zhao Yueyao planned to go to the city to sell white jade cakes. The mine was guarded by He Da, and he would be notified immediately if there was any trouble.

When he arrived at the shop in the city, the shopkeeper saw Zhao Yueyao, and quickly took out the account book to complain: "My lord, it's really not that the villain doesn't care. This business is getting worse every day, you have to think of a way!"

Zhao Yueyao was impatient: "I think you are all lazy, I have to find a way for everything, what do you want your shopkeeper to do?"

Before the old shopkeeper knelt down and complained, Zhao Yueyao stopped in time: "Okay, don't talk, I have something for you to do, remove all the things on the counter, I want to sell others."

The people who followed Zhao Yueyao picked up the white jade cakes from the car and placed them on the wooden counter piece by piece.

This was originally a shop selling cloth, but because the supply of goods was not good, we could only buy some low-grade cloth.The life of the people is difficult, and it is a good thing to have enough to eat, and the clothes are changed once a year at most.The wealthy upper-class families looked down on the goods here, so the shop was dragging along like this.

Each piece of white jade cake that Zhao Yueyao asked to take out was tender and juicy, not to mention how attractive it was on the shelf.The old shopkeeper asked cautiously: "My lord, what is this?"

"This is what I read from the book. The white jade cake made by the secret method is put here for trial sale today."

The old shopkeeper asked: "Then what is the price?"

Zhao Yueyao thought about it, he doesn't rely on this to make a fortune, and he doesn't need to sell it too expensive, so it's best to sell it with small profits: "Sell for three Wen for one piece. Zhou Qishi, what do you think?"

Zhou Qishi: "The price set by the little prince is very suitable, three pennies, ordinary people will not be reluctant, and poor people can eat a meal even if they are cruel."

Zhao Yueyao was very interested and felt that he would definitely be able to sell the white jade cake.Unexpectedly, after waiting for an hour, no one was sold, and no one came to ask the price!Those women and girls carried vegetable baskets, took a few glances and left.Zhao Yueyao wished he could grab people's sleeves and force them to buy them with a knife!

Zhou Qishi saw him stomping his feet in a hurry, his complexion was pink from ear to ear, like a peach blossom blooming brightly in spring, trying to keep passers-by.

It's so cute, just like spring.

Zhou Qishi said to Liu Zhi: "Go find a pot, get some seasoning and oil."

Liu Zhi was clever, and understood what Zhou Qishi wanted to do in just one sentence, so he saluted and asked the Venerable Master to go get things.

Half an hour later, bursts of fragrance wafted out from the shop.

Zhou Qishi was wearing a black apron, tall and straight like a bamboo stick, standing in front of the cauldron at the door, frying white jade cakes with chopsticks.After frying, wrap it with the special seasoning made by the chef of the palace and let it cool down. With a circle of burning eyes, he put the white jade cake into Zhao Yueyao's mouth.

It was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, and a puddle of juice exploded in his mouth when he bit it open. He blinked his eyes and covered his lips: "It's delicious."

Zhao Yueyao's greedy look is simply a living sign.In addition, the old shopkeeper was fooling around, saying that this is made by an ancient secret method, it is rich in nutrition, and it is cheap to eat to strengthen your body.

The focus is on deliciousness and cheapness. These two elements alone can attract those women to snap up their purchases.

Liu Zhi rolled up her sleeves and cooked white jade cake soup beside her, and distributed it to everyone.After those who hesitated tasted it, they stepped forward to buy it one after another.

After a while, all the white jade cakes here were sold out.

Zhao Yueyao took out a pen and paper to do the math, and earned about three taels of silver.An ordinary family only spends five taels of silver throughout the year, and earns three taels in such a short period of time, which is quite profitable.No wonder Zhou Shaoqing wants to start a business, and sells things very expensively.

Now that the road of Baiyu Cake works, the rest of the work can be left to others.Liuzhi is a hard worker, so he can move it wherever there is need.

Zhao Yueyao: "Liu Zhi, you go to the mine to find someone who is in charge of selling white jade cakes. You must not think carefully about who you choose."

Not only that, but a recruitment notice was posted at the door of the store, recruiting people to work in the mine.

After half a month.

The place where the white jade cake was made was moved to the next door to the mine. At that time, a lot of people came to recruit workers.Some commoners, some vagrants without clothes, and some orphans, they ran to try their luck when they had nowhere to go.

Unexpectedly, all those who came on the first day were accepted, and the children did less work, so their wages were halved.But it was enough to make them feel happy, like a pie falling from the sky.

Zhao Yueyao has money for the time being, so it's time for him to reform the mine.

The lights were dim, and Zhao Yueyao sat on the crude table, biting the tip of his pen, and asked hesitantly: "Zhou Qishi, do you think I should do this? This Nanliangshan mine has not changed since it was handed down. If I change it like this , What should I do if I make the mine worse?"

Zhou Qishi was looking at the plan written by Zhao Yueyao carefully, and the more he read it, the more he was amazed: "Make a mine identity and household registration, and use points instead of copper coins. Adults earn three pennies a day, and the points can only be obtained in the mine. shop to exchange things.”

"That's right. The miners are all refugees, or they are punished as coolies for tax reasons. They are not free people and cannot have private property. But the one you formulated is not considered private property. It is exquisite. .”

After being praised like this, Zhao Yueyao immediately turned his tail up, feeling that he has the talents of the world: "You are right, I shouldn't hesitate. Punishment is far less useful than rewards. If the miners can't eat enough to wear Nuan, the mines dug will only decrease year by year."

"The money was earned from Baiyu Cake. Anyway, Liu Zhi found a suitable person in the mine."

Zhou Qishi nodded, and the two got together to delete, delete, and delete, and temporarily created a prototype for the reform of the mine.

The next day, Zhao Yueyao called all the miners together and promulgated various plans he had newly written.

Some of you didn’t understand, but there is one article in it that everyone understands, that is, from today, they are paid for mining, and they don’t have to work hungry anymore.

This alone can make everyone cry with joy.The young man standing in the center holding a piece of paper and talking is now the god of everyone in the mine.

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Zhou Qishi unscrupulously and obsessively looked at the radiant Zhao Yueyao.

He Da and Luo Lin came from the nearby camp, with serious expressions on their faces: "My lord, there is movement in Nanliang Mountain."

Zhao Yueyao was a little scared and a little happy in his heart. He had never seen such a big scene, and he was also happy that he could finally solve this matter and leave here.

If he doesn't leave, the mosquitoes here in the mine will kill him!

Walking into the camp, five hundred government soldiers were already in full formation.He Da was wearing armor and knelt on the ground: "Please order, my little prince, my subordinates will definitely not leave any piece of armor that was killed by those thieves!"

Zhao Yueyao shook his head, confident: "There is no need to head-to-head, we can afford to wait. When they can't hold back, we will catch the turtle again. Send me an order to evacuate the miners, and everyone will hide in a hidden place and surround the entire mine."

It was the first time that Luo Lin saw such a decisive and quick-witted Zhao Yueyao.He realized that the child he had been protecting behind him had finally grown up.

In the evening, the people on the mountain gathered together and rushed down with fierce faces.

They watched from afar that the fire was raised every day in the mine, and they set up pots to cook food.Compared with their increasingly scarce food in the mountains, no place to sleep, and the need to beware of snakes, insects and beasts everywhere, their life in the mine is very chic!

So, everyone discussed it and decided to go down the mountain again to grab some food, bedding and clothes.

I don't know if it was because I was afraid of being burned last time. There are only a few people in the mine.Chu Nian's people mixed in, feeling that something was wrong.

"Brother, it's so quiet here. Just in case, let's go first!"

"What are you going to do? We beat those hateful soldiers to the ground last time, and this time we can do it too!"

"Come on, there's something to eat here."

Everyone flocked up, and the pots of cooked white jade cakes in the kitchen exuded a delicate fragrance.They didn't bother to take the chopsticks, they just grabbed it with their hands and ate it.

Chu Nian's people felt that something was wrong, and secretly scolded this group of people as rotten wood, and urged them to leave quickly with a smile on their faces.

Unexpectedly, within two steps, they lay on the ground clutching their stomachs in pain: "Food is poisonous!"

Elite soldiers rushed out from both sides of the mine at the same time, holding knives and guns, and easily captured them without a single soldier.

He Da's eyes looked at Zhao Yueyao, and they were shining brightly.

Zhao Yueyao proudly walked over to look at the bearded leader who was tied up.It doesn't look like a person from a mine, he looks strong and strong, with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Take people down for interrogation. I'd like to see how they gather all these people together."

Zhao Yueyao will not kill all these people, but it is impossible for the person who organized the riot to be left behind.

Chu Nian's people looked at each other twice, seeing that the situation was over, the most important thing now was to kill Zhao Yueyao!

The two of them didn't eat, and they pretended to be poisoned. One of them knocked down the soldiers holding him down to attract attention, while the other pulled out the hidden dagger and stabbed Zhao Yueyao in two steps.

All of this is like lightning and flint, Zhou Qishi is far away, his eyes are a terrifying abyss, his heart is as cold as ice, and he is afraid that Zhao Yueyao will be hurt.

Zhao Yueyao didn't notice it, and was hugged by Luo Lin beside him and turned around. With his right hand on Luo Lin's waist, he felt wet.

He cried slightly: "Luo Lin, what's wrong with you, I..."

Luo Lin covered Zhao Yueyao's eyes, breathing heavily: "It's okay, don't look."

Zhou Qishi's face was gloomy, and there was no emotion in his slightly deep eyes. Before the man committed suicide by taking poison, he crushed the man's jaw.

The mine incident was resolved more perfectly than the old prince imagined, the only shortcoming was Luo Lin's injury.

Zhao Yueyao temporarily went to Luo Mansion because of Luo Lin's injury.

"Cousin, it's time to change the medicine."

Luo Lin was lying on the bed, wearing a white coat, her thin waist wrapped in a blood-oozing bandage, looking through the ledger.

Zhao Yueyao was holding a tray, on which was the best gold sore medicine prescribed by the doctor.

Luo Lin didn't intend to stand up: "Let the servant girl come here, your hands and feet are rough and hurt me so much."

Zhao Yueyao put the tray on the table, with an unhappy face: "Then you look down on me, why did you ask me to come to Luo Mansion to take care of you. I hate coming to Luo Mansion the most, why hasn't that damn Sangzhu left yet?"

Luo Lin closed the account book: "Sang Zhu was entrusted to the Luo Mansion by the Prime Minister. He grew up with me and loves brothers. He is not a servant of the Luo Mansion, nor is he a concubine of the Luo Mansion. There is no need to please you in every possible way and be servile. "

Zhao Yueyao was caught in Xiaoxiao's thoughts, puffed his cheeks and snorted, and turned his head arrogantly: "Okay, I see. Cousin, have you ever eaten the white jade cake sold in my shop?"

Speaking of this, Luo Lin became a little interested: "Your white jade cake, grandmother loves it very much, and orders people to buy it every day. I guess, although the shop is full of people every day, it doesn't make much money."

Zhao Yueyao nodded: "Well, what I sell is not expensive, and it just happens to make ends meet."

Luo Lin shook her head: "It's not because you sold it cheaply, but because you went in the wrong direction. I have tasted this white jade cake. It is suitable for all ages, and it tastes good. It's just because it was well-known among the poor from the beginning, so Noble families disdain to try."

"Small profits but quick turnover. The most important thing is to have multiple characters. How many people can Nanyue have? If you want, I can help you sell the white jade cake to the capital."

Zhao Yueyao was so elated, he raised his smiling face and hugged Luo Lin, pressing on Luo Lin's wound with reckless force, making him grunt in pain.

"Cousin, you are really kind. From today on, I will listen to my cousin in everything!"

Luo Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Zhao Yueyao was his cousin when he had something to do, and Luo Lin when nothing happened: "Let's talk about it first, I want three tiers of profit for this."

Zhao Yueyao immediately stood up dissatisfied and put his hands on his hips, with disbelief on his face: "What, Luo Lin, you even want to earn my money?"

Luo Lin slightly curled her lips: "Brothers will settle accounts clearly, this business is not yours alone."

Zhao Yueyao didn't listen to him, picked up the small bowl of chicken soup on the table, and drank it in one gulp.

Luo Lin looked at his back as he left without hesitation, and cursed with a smile: "Little heartless, just throw it away when you're done using it."

Zhao Yueyao rode back to the palace and found Zhou Qishi standing by the window looking at a hairpin.Zhao Yueyao acted lightly, trying to scare him.

"Ow!"

Zhou Qishi turned around to avoid it, but Zhao Yueyao couldn't hold it back for a while, almost fell down, and was held by his clothes to stabilize his body.

"Don't you know that people have shadows at noon?"

Zhou Qishi retracted the jade hairpin to his chest, and tapped Zhao Yueyao's eyebrows with an intimate tone.

Zhao Yueyao puffed up his cheeks: "It's boring, why are you more boring than Luo Lin today?"

Zhou Qishi snorted coldly, his whole heart seemed to be soaked in salt water: "Of course I can't compare to Young Master Luo, he can let you take care of him for several days without returning to the palace, but I can't let you stay and talk to me. "

Zhao Yueyao was very impatient to stay in Luo Mansion, and when he came back, he just wanted to find Zhou Qishi to go out and play.Unexpectedly, he would have a straight face and say these words as soon as they met.

"Luo Lin was hurt because of me. My mother specifically told me to take good care of him. What can I do? You don't want to see me, forget it, I'm leaving!"

Zhou Qishi took two steps forward and grabbed Zhao Yueyao's wrist, his eyes were bloodshot.His voice was low and hoarse, as if in extreme pain: "You don't even know, I wish I was the one who got hurt."

"Zhao Yueyao, I am willing to die for you!"

Zhao Yueyao was frightened and slowly backed away.Zhou Qishi walked forward step by step until Zhao Yueyao's back was against the desk, and there was no way to retreat.

"Yes, but I don't want to die, I want to live."

Zhou Qishi held him in his arms, and the space around him became sticky and hot.He put his hand on Zhao Yueyao's waist, and slowly touched it up.

Zhao Yueyao felt that the skin on his waist was going to be burned red, so he shrank back and hid.Zhou Qishi seemed to be bewitched, he bent down to kiss Zhao Yueyao's lips.

The hot breath hit Zhao Yueyao's lips, Zhao Yueyao was unwilling, with tears in his aggrieved eyes, struggling desperately: "I don't, I don't want to do this, Liuzhi!"

Zhou Qishi used his strength to clasp Zhao Yueyao's two thin white wrists, and sealed his exclamation into his lips.

This is the first time that Zhao Yueyao has been so intimate with someone, and unlike the disgusting imagination, it is actually quite comfortable.

It's just that he will inherit the palace in the future.He must marry a gentle and virtuous princess with a good family background, how could he be mixed with Zhou Qishi.

Zhao Yueyao bit the corner of Zhou Qishi's lips with one bite, and Zhou Qishi wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, his aura seemed very evil.

The young man huddled by the table, a little scared: "I won't get along with you. In the future, I will marry a wife and have children, and inherit Nanyue. Don't think about it!"

Zhou Qishi had a paranoid face on his face: "You want to go back on your word? We worshiped the hall and respected the heaven and the earth. It's just that we didn't drink a cup of wine, and we've been a legitimate couple for a long time. Yaoyao, didn't you tell my father that you wanted to marry me? "

Everyone knew that these words were just to embarrass Zhou Qishi at the time, but now he actually said them out, it's really disgusting!

Zhao Yueyao pursed his lips, his fair face was covered with frost, and pointed at the door: "I won't tell you these ridiculous things, while I still have some affection for you, get out, get out of the palace .”

"If you don't leave, I'll have someone drive you out."
