The villain becomes a heartthrob after being reborn

A burning beam fell from above with a "bang", blocking the door and making the temperature in the room even hotter.

Zhao Yueyao was stunned, watching his colleagues in the fire scene crying and accepting their fate.

"You let them go, General Luo. What you did was putting the cart before the horse. What are you fighting for? To protect the country of Zhao, but what is the country of Zhao? Is it those cold palaces, or the land of Kyoto?"

"This land has changed people. It can be from Chen State or another country. What you protect are the people who live on this land! General Luo, you have to kill the enemy you once protected with your own hands. people?"

Luo Yuan's fingers moved slightly, the others had been persuaded by Zhao Yueyao, and they looked embarrassed: "General, why don't we let them go!"

"Yeah, he's right."

"We can't do something like this."

Luo Yuan gave a "tsk" sound: "It's useless, this kid said a few sweet words, and you changed your mind? Go ahead."

After receiving the approval letter, those people disregarded the scorching temperature, opened the burning wood at the door, and rescued the person who was almost in a semi-comatose state.

"Lord Zhao, I will never forget the grace of saving my life."

"Thank you Master Zhao for saving me."

Those few people who thought they were doomed did not expect Zhao Yueyao to save them in the end. Under the ups and downs, they felt infinite gratitude to Zhao Yueyao.

Holding the iron plate in his hand, Luo Yuan's eyes darkened: "The thing you promised me, it's best to honor it now, please, Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Yueyao only thought that General Luo was extremely hateful, but now that his life was threatened, he had to bow his head.

There is a Luojia firm in the capital, where you can always get the freshest things, expensive and rare jewels, the daily flow of people is like weaving, and the exchange of money is like flowing water.

Zhao Yueyao took Luo Yuan into the firm and took out the iron plate.The people from the firm immediately invited the two of them in.

"My lord, please wait later, the villain has to invite our shopkeeper."

Luo Yuan Da Ma Jin Dao sat on the seat, drank the tea in the cup in two gulps: "Go!"

In less than a quarter of an hour, an old man with a white beard came in and shouted in a low voice: "My lord, why don't you come to see me when you're in the capital?"

Zhao Yueyao reluctantly shouted: "Uncle Li, I don't want to trouble you."

The old man chuckled: "I don't want to listen to the old man's nagging. Young Master Luo has already told you that the capital is different from Nanyue, so you won't be allowed to mess around."

Uncle Li followed Zhao Yueyao's grandfather since he was a child. He had no children and never married. He was loyal to the Luo family.And I can't understand Zhao Yueyao's arrogance and domineering, fooling around. Every time I meet him, I always persuade him to study hard.Later, when the Luo family's business opened in Kyoto, there was a shortage of people to sit in, so he came here from Nanyue.

Luo Yuan was too lazy to listen to their reminiscences, so he directly took out the iron plate of plum blossoms: "This kid said that this iron plate can mobilize all the working capital of your Luo family firm."

Uncle Li's wrinkled face immediately became alert: "General Luo, what do you mean by that?"

Zhao Yueyao was a little embarrassed: "Uncle Li, can you transfer some money from the commercial bank?"

Uncle Li: "If the prince wants it, of course you can."

Luo Yuan tapped the mahogany tabletop with his hand, and the clear voice echoed throughout the room: "Master Zhao, you made a mistake, not some, but all. I want all the cash from Luojia Commercial Bank."

Zhao Yueyao stood up suddenly, and the chair creaked on the ground: "General, you are trying to make things difficult for others."

Luo Yuan pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist, holding the knife in his hand: "The life of the prince is not as good as a business."

Uncle Li stood in front of Zhao Yueyao: "Swords and swords are speechless. It's not good to hurt anyone. Please come with me, general."

The three of them walked into a dark room below the business house. Uncle Li lit a candle and took the key to open the big boxes in the dark room one by one.

Suddenly, Zhao Yueyao's eyes were filled with gold, and there were three boxes full of gold here!

Luo Yuan was silent for a while, Zhao Yueyao couldn't bear it anymore: "General Luo, we don't owe you anything."

Luo Yuan: "Okay, I won't trouble you again, but the Ministry of Finance must give me an explanation."

Zhao Yueyao smiled wryly: "The household department is under the management of the prince, let's talk about it when he comes back."

Luo Yuan asked people to remove the three boxes of gold, Zhao Yueyao felt a little sorry for Luo Lin: "Cousin will definitely scold me if he knows."

Uncle Li sighed: "General Luo is a generous bastard, who made you unlucky and bumped into you. Being able to spend money to prevent disasters and save the life of the prince is already blessed by the ancestors. If the business can't support it, it's a big deal to leave the capital."

Although Zhao Yueyao has never managed a commercial firm, he knows that most of the money must be sent to Luo Lin.

Without this huge amount of gold, maybe Luo Lin would have no working capital, and if something happened to the firm, it would have no power to resist.

Zhao Yueyao left from Luojia Commercial Firm, just as Liu Zhi and Zhao Si were looking for him.

"My lord, are you okay! The household department was burned down, and the fire has not been extinguished yet."

"I'm so anxious that I can't find you. Fortunately, the prince is fine."

Sweat was all over Liu Zhi's forehead, and there were some people behind him, who seemed to have been looking for him for a long time.

At the door of the household, many people are fighting the fire.

"Master Zhao, it's dangerous here."

Those petty officials were so busy that they were sweating profusely, fetching water from the river bucket after bucket.

Zhao Yueyao looked at the burning house with only two beams left, and sighed: "Everyone do what you can, don't force it, anyway, everything inside is burned."

Bai Yi came over with a limp: "Master, don't be sad, our household department can temporarily move to another place."

Zhao Yueyao turned his head: "It's not my place, why should I be sad. Hey, didn't you just say that you can do anything for me?"

Bai Yi patted his chest: "As long as the adults need it, we are naturally willing to go through fire and water for the adults!"

Zhao Yueyao nodded: "Very well, do you have contact with the people from the Ministry of Industry?"

Bai Yi thought for a while: "The Ministry of Industry? Our six departments each perform their duties. The Ministry of Industry is responsible for various water conservancy projects, R & D and manufacturing. Mr. Zhao, to be honest, among the six departments, the Ministry of Industry is no different from craftsmen. What can they do? ?”

Zhao Yueyao shook his head: "Short-sighted, how can we catch up with them the fastest?"

Bai Yi came back to his senses: "The Ministry of Industry is now planning to build a canal, and we want our Ministry of Households to approve it."

Zhao Yueyao: "Then you go and tell them that I want to invite people from the Ministry of Industry to dinner tonight, and I hope they will appreciate it."

Bai Yi was a little embarrassed: "But my lord, this matter has to be reported to the prince, and the prince can make the final decision."

Zhao Yueyao was a little impatient: "I know, why are you talking so much? If you don't want to do it, I'll go find someone else!"

"Hey, don't, don't, my lord, I'm going now."

Although Bai Yi looked a little out of tune, he was really good at things.

In the evening, in a restaurant, Zhao Yueyao waited for a while, and finally found three middle-aged men.

Bai Yi stepped forward to say hello with a smile on his face: "Master Sun, please take a seat."

Sun Yu doesn't seem to be a tactful person, because his first sentence is: "I heard that you can ask the crown prince to grant us money. What are your conditions? Let me know."

Zhao Yueyao hadn't met such a straightforward person for a long time, he was stunned for a moment, and then said straight to the point: "You should know that the Ministry of Households has no money now, right?"

Sun Yu: "Of course."

Zhao Yueyao: "So, I decided to be self-reliant."

Sun Yu stood up, his face darkened: "Forgive me for not being able to accompany me, I, Sun Yu, will never do such things as corruption!"

Zhao Yueyao hurriedly pulled him back: "Hey, don't go, I didn't mean that. I have something to ask your Ministry of Industry to help. When the work is done, it will naturally benefit you."

Sun Yu just sat down, but after hearing what Zhao Yueyao said, he was completely shocked: "What did you say? You want us to make paper. This is a craft held by aristocratic families. How can we do it!"

Zhao Yueyao poured him a glass of water: "Master Sun, I have an ancient prescription, but I just don't know the ratio of various ingredients in the ancient recipe, so I need to ask Mr. Sun for help."

Sun Yu saw that Zhao Yueyao's expression did not seem to be fake, so he said directly: "I am in charge of water conservancy, and this matter has to be done by Mr. Zhou. He is in charge of tools. Go, I will take you to him now."

Of course Zhao Yueyao nodded, and the group followed Sun Yu to the Ministry of Industry.

Walking into the Ministry of Industry, it is completely different from the Ministry of Households.The entire hall is full of strange parts and drawings, and the smell is very pungent, and there are sawdust everywhere.

Sun Yu: "Zhou Mu, I have something to look for you!"

An old man lying on the table raised his head impatiently: "I said don't come to me if there is no important matter, don't you know that thinking cannot be interrupted?"

Sun Yu explained the reason for his visit in a good voice, and when it came to making paper, Zhou Mu's eyes lit up: "Are you kidding me?"

Although Zhao Yueyao thought the old man was weird, he still nodded.

Zhou Mu stood up from the table: "Okay, people who don't matter can leave now, don't block me from doing things."

After everyone left, Zhao Yueyao recalled the steps in the book of heaven: "Mash up bamboo or bark reeds, boil them, then filter them, spread the residues, and then compact them, and that's it. .”

Bai Yi next to him said, "This sounds quite simple."

After he finished speaking, Zhou Mu spat blood on his head: "Simple?! It's very difficult to mash and boil something like bamboo. If the ratio of these materials is not correct, the paper will not become To be flexible, all kinds of things add up, I don’t know how difficult it is!”

"Little boy, you will really cause trouble for me."

Although he said so, Zhou Mu looked very interested in his eyes: "I have never thought that I can use bamboo and reed bark instead of wood to make paper."

Zhao Yueyao interrupted: "You can also use mulberry bark, linen fishing nets, these can be used."

Zhou Mu nodded: "I will remember what you said."

Zhao Yueyao was very happy: "Thank you Master Zhou, I will send someone a sum of money later."

Zhou Mu smiled for the first time: "You kid, you are very good."

Six days later, the hunting was over. When the emperor and the others came back from the royal hunting ground, all the officials who stayed in the capital had to go to greet them. Zhao Yueyao was wearing an official uniform, and he looked tall and tall.

Everyone knelt in two rows beside the only way from the imperial palace to the Golden Luan Hall.

First, the imperial guards with knives dashed forward to open the way, and then the eunuch's sharp voice signaled to the emperor that they were coming.

Walking in the front is the emperor's glittering guard of honor, and then the dragon chair carried by 12 people. The emperor sits on it and closes his eyes to rest, not knowing what he is thinking.

Behind them are the crown prince and the princes, as well as the important court officials of Zhao State.

When the emperor walked over, all the people kneeling on the ground shouted long live three times, showing that they were very respectful.

Zhao Yueyao knelt on the ground and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

The court lady helped the emperor get off the dragon chair carried by 12 people. Everyone should have left separately, but two officials rushed out, knelt on the ground, and their expressions were filled with righteous indignation.

"Please send the King of Nanyue back to Nanyue, Your Majesty!"

The emperor held his forehead and did not speak.

Seeing the emperor's refusal, the other person continued, "Nowadays, rumors are spreading all over the capital, Your Majesty, you can't ignore it!"

The prince strode forward and knelt down on one knee: "It's just a rumor, father, my son is willing to find out who is spreading the rumor!"

The emperor drank wine last night and messed around with the beautiful dancer all night. Now he just wants to go back and rest, and he doesn't want to deal with these things at all.If the officials petitioned to kill Zhao Yueyao, then he would agree without hesitation, but the emperor refused to let Zhao Yueyao return to Nanyue.

Chu Nian also stood up: "Father, the person who spreads the rumors is very cruel. He is trying to drive a wedge between the son and the emperor."

The emperor sat on the chair and closed his eyes: "Zhao Yueyao, what do you think?"

Kneeling in the crowd, was suddenly called.Zhao Yueyao's heart skipped a beat, but there was no anxiety on his face. He came out and knelt in front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, I am now in the household department, and everything I do is to share the emperor's worries."

At this time, the prime minister stood up uncharacteristically: "Your Majesty, I have a way to stop rumors. Now that His Highness the Crown Prince has reached his age, the Emperor might as well point out a marriage for His Highness, so as to silence the rumors."

The emperor became interested: "The prime minister's words are very good. I heard that there is an unmarried eldest daughter in your family?"

The prime minister leaned over and replied: "Your Majesty, the eldest daughter of this minister is eighteen years old, and she is three years younger than the crown prince."

The emperor clapped his hands and applauded: "Prince, what do you think? Prime Minister Sang's beloved daughter must look like a fairy."

The prince's face is not good: "Father, my son is busy with political affairs now, I'm afraid I can't..."

The emperor interrupted the prince's words: "State affairs are important, and family affairs are equally important."

It is rare for the transparent queen to interject: "Qi'er, just listen to what the Holy Majesty has to say."

The crown prince looked forbearing, and could only kneel down to thank him: "My son, I thank my father for the marriage."
