I engaged in modernization in ancient times
Chapter 39 Seeds
Mo Shaoheng originally thought that people should disperse when it was announced that today's Three Streets War was over, but in the end, many people stayed to watch the fun.
"What is a staff dinner?"
"I don't know, I haven't heard of it."
"Suddenly discovered that since Mo Shaoheng returned to Liangjing, he has made a lot of strange things."
"Is this how Nanli is?"
In ancient times, due to the inconvenient transportation, apart from great Confucian scholars who traveled around to study and knights who traveled the rivers and lakes, there were actually very few people who had been to other places.
Mo Shaoheng looked at the sky, and started to make it now, and it is estimated that dinner will be ready in the evening.
He has a lot of employees, and there is no room for any shop.
Simply ask people to move the tables and stools to the street.
This street is all his business, and no one said anything, unlike in modern times, he certainly can't occupy the entire street for personal reasons.
But the tables, stools and bowls and chopsticks are worse.
Mo Shaoheng thought for a while, and went to the next two streets to borrow some.
He didn't borrow it for nothing, and invited Zhao Di to have a meal, which was regarded as a reward.
Careful budgeting, very stingy.
The busyness has officially begun.
On the street, tables one by one formed a long queue, and there were two hundred small shopkeepers alone, so the battle was naturally not small.
Everyone: "..."
"What is this doing?"
"I don't understand."
There is no concept of running water banquets in Beiliang yet, because the common people cannot afford running water banquets, and the nobles always have banquets in their own mansions, so they will not lower their status to eat on the street.
Therefore, for a while, I didn't understand what this was doing.
Mo Shaoheng is sending people to steam buns, make noodles, and braised pork.
Although it is not a big meal, everyone can also eat a small portion, the same small portion, and they are probably full.
After thinking about it, a staff dinner must be lively, and some lively food must be prepared.
In modern times, skewers that are popular all over the streets and alleys are good. Of course, it is unrealistic for everyone to boil them by themselves, and there are not so many pots and utensils.
Had to make cold pot skewers.
Skewers are also easy and convenient to make, which is just right for this large-scale situation.
Mo Shaoheng asked Uncle Yu to take someone to cut bamboo sticks.
Let people go shopping again.
A list of condiments was made, and people ran around to collect all the condiments.
This work went straight to the evening.
Mo Shaoheng hurriedly sent someone to call his little peddler, and told them to sit down first and wait.
Those who stayed to watch the fun looked at a large group of people sitting obediently on the street: "..."
I don't understand.
The little peddler was also very confused, so strange, he only said that he was asking them to come to the staff dinner, but they didn't understand.
At this time, rows of people started serving dishes with their food trays.
One bun per person, a small bowl of biangbiang noodles, a small plate of braised pork, and a large bowl of skewers.
The atmosphere immediately rose.
A group of small shopkeepers blinked their eyes, isn't this what they sell in their shop?
However, apart from buns, they have never eaten anything else.
Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, how could his employees have never tasted his products.
Fifteen students, including Zhao Jingcheng, were also among them, watching their noses and noses and their minds, and preparing to fish for fish in troubled waters. They probably thought it was fun.
Beside him, Dou Zi tilted his head and looked at Zhao Jingcheng and the others, "They are not small shopkeepers!"
Zhao Jingcheng stared over quickly, and Douzi was so frightened that his head was buried in his neck.
Mo Shaoheng is arranging for Zhao Di and Zhao Yanqiu to be seated.
There are even several other princes from the prince team.
Zhao Di Zhao Yanqiu: "..."
look at each other.
This is a banquet?But I have never seen such a strange banquet, what is Mo Shaoheng doing?
Mo Shaoheng smiled and said, "Happy with the people, Your Highnesses probably haven't been so close to the people of Liangjing, today is a good time to try."
People around: "..."
Only then did they roughly understand the meaning of Mo Shaoheng's staff dinner.
Mo Shaoheng, the prodigal son, has just started to have a little business in his shop, right?
It is estimated that the money earned is not enough for these small shopkeepers to eat.
But no one said anything. They knew very well what these little peddlers used to do.
Speaking of which, after joining Mo Shaoheng, these small shopkeepers have really lived a completely different life from before. They are clean, have food and shelter, and now they call them little beggars, I am afraid no one will believe it.
Mo Shaoheng is really taking care of these little beggars seriously.
I don't know why, but there is an inexplicable sense of admiration in my heart.
Do what no one else has done, and do it alone.
Mo Shaoheng's voice also came out, "As you can see, we have quite a few new shops in Niaoyi Lane."
"As employees of Zhenbei Wangfu, everyone has not even tried the food on their own shop for so long."
"Today is just right, let's gather everyone together and try our own things."
"Don't talk too much, lest the food get cold, everyone will use their chopsticks to eat."
Everyone: "..."
Is this a staff dinner?
If the onlookers were just watching the fun, then it would be a different feeling to be a small shopkeeper, shopkeeper, clerk, craftsman, etc. sitting down in Wuyi Lane.
In addition to feeling lively, I actually felt a strange warmth from it.
Employee dinners are a cohesive culture.
Dare to ask which nobleman, which boss, can care about them so much?
You know, working for the boss is basically equivalent to selling yourself to the boss, which is not much different from being a slave, and you can only work hard all the time.
A group of small shopkeepers blinked their eyes. Is this really for them to eat?
They feel that eating steamed buns every day is the happiest thing, especially when they can receive steamed stuffed buns three times a day.
At the beginning, I was a little restrained, and I didn't dare to move my chopsticks. I gnawed on a bun like a little mouse, cute and cute.
However, led by Zhao Jingcheng's dozen or so people laughing and laughing, they slowly became active.
Zhao Jingcheng still said, "If you don't eat biangbiang noodles, you will get tired."
A group of small shopkeepers looked at half a bowl of biangbiang noodles.
Oops, it would be such a waste to get tired of it.
How can food be wasted!
Then the little hand picked up the chopsticks and picked the noodles into his mouth.
The taste of seasoning and noodles mixed together, as soon as it enters the mouth, the taste dissipates.
The whole scene was full of naughty voices.
"Really delicious."
This is the biangbiang noodles they sell. No wonder even nobles have people come to buy their biangbiang noodles.
Then there is the braised pork.
It can be said that the possibility of these small shopkeepers being able to eat meat is really too small.
Put the stewed meat in your mouth and chew.
The whole face was smiling so that only a split mouth remained.
The picture is so beautiful, there are neat rows and rows, only the mouths are smiling, and the eyes are slits.
Their stewed pork is also delicious.
"It smells good."
The atmosphere is completely up.
A voice of praise.
Then he reached out to pick up the bamboo sticks, which were all vegetarian dishes.
It looks very special and very beautiful.
Even Zhao Di, Zhao Yanqiu and several princes have never eaten.
Put the skewered dishes into their mouths, the unique taste of seasoning, mixed with the taste of vegetables, is a taste they have never tried before.
Rolling skewers, eating steamed stuffed buns, biangbiang noodles, and braised pork.
Zhao Di looked at Mo Shaoheng in surprise.
Mo Shaoheng smiled, "What is the purpose of making money? Isn't it just to live a better life and be happier."
"Some people become crazy and persistent in order to make money, and forget the most fundamental reason."
"That would be great."
But he thought in his heart that he also wanted to make more money, but he couldn't make it, and he couldn't comfort himself.
Damn, I almost didn't cry, I had to swallow my tears.
The princes were obviously stunned, looking at the bustling street.
A strange idea popped up in my heart, maybe, the book says that the common people live and work in peace and contentment, and the Qingning and prosperity of Haiyan and Heqing are almost like this.
Look at these little peddlers, they were still begging around, servile little beggars, but now they are smiling so happily.
The spectators around were also stunned. The scene at this moment made them all feel a sense of envy and yearning.
In his cool capital, there is such a cozy corner.
During the period, Mo Shaoheng even went to check on his little shopkeeper, "How does it taste?"
A group of small shopkeepers laughed until their eyes turned into crescent moons, "It's so delicious."
"We used to think buns were the most delicious thing in the world, but we didn't expect there to be so many other than buns."
In the laughter, it actually made people feel a little sad.
To modern people, a bun is nothing, but in the hearts of these small shopkeepers, it is the most delicious thing in the world.
This kind of thought made people tremble in the first place.
Mo Shaoheng sighed and said, "I hope that in the future, all people will have something to rely on when they are old, and support when they are young, so that there will be no lonely people in the world."
For a while, there was no sound.
The old have something to depend on, the young have something to support, and there are no lonely and helpless people in the world?
At this moment, Mo Shaoheng seemed to have something extra on his body.
I can't see it clearly, and I can't understand it, but it just attracts people to watch.
Putting aside those infamy and prejudice, is this the real Mo Shaoheng?
Several princes also opened their mouths.
They just came to Japan today to participate in the Battle of the Three Streets, and they didn't expect that a sudden staff dinner would actually give them some feelings.
Mo Shaoheng also smiled, these princes usually either study in the palace or participate in various royal activities, never have they seen any real suffering in the world.
What is written in the book, how can it be as touching as what I saw with my own eyes.
Soon, joyous laughter dilutes the sorrow.
"This skewer is really delicious."
"It's a pleasure to eat."
Obviously the dish is still the same dish, but it is cut into small pieces and skewered on bamboo sticks, how can there be some wonderful changes in it.
The sunset glow shines into this street, shining on all the smiling faces from ear to ear.
Mo Shaoheng announced two more things, "Starting from tomorrow, the Battle of the Three Streets will start from the top [-] to the top eight."
"I decided to set up some rewards for the winners. All the teams that enter the quarterfinals will have the right to eat in my bird clothing alley for a day."
These sixteen teams are now somewhat famous, and he set up this reward mostly for advertising.
It doesn't cost much to pack a day's food, even if you eat with an open stomach, but if eating in Wuyi Lane for a day becomes a glory that people pass on by word of mouth, the value will be too great.
Everyone: "..."
Mo Shaoheng is also too good at spending money.
In their eyes, Mo Shaoheng didn't seem to get any benefit from holding the Three Streets Battle, and now there are awards.
Mo Shaoheng then announced the second thing, "Every month from now on, we will hold a staff dinner."
Whoa!
A group of small shopkeepers screamed with joy.
People in Liangjing: "..."
Even if ordinary people in Beiliang can't eat meat a few times a year, these small shopkeepers can live a good life.
In the end, one of them got a piece of ice cream after the meal, so happy.
As the setting sun sets, the excitement dissipates.
Mo Shaoheng sent away the princes and left Zhao Di behind.
"How about we do a deal?"
Zhao Di: "..."
Mo Shaoheng continued, "In the past two days, someone who bought something from your store came to my place to use the home delivery service."
"The reasons are more bizarre than the last, and they make sense."
"Although my little peddler is very free now, he can't just do things for you, can't he?"
Then the voice changed into two words, "Give me money!"
He can provide door-to-door delivery service, but he has to charge money.
Mo Shaoheng: "I have drawn up a regulation for using my shopkeeper's door-to-door service, take a look."
"Anyone who buys goods in your shop and comes to me to use the door-to-door service, I will charge you a certain fee according to the distance."
"From Swallow Street, you will only be charged one copper coin for an order, and you will be charged two copper coins for an order from Swallow Street to Cloister Street..."
"Cheap?"
At that time, he can still collect a little delivery money from the customer, that is to say, his little shopkeeper will collect money for the door-to-door service.
Although there are not many, but accumulating sand into a tower is not.
Moreover, the three parties can benefit, and the common people enjoy the convenience. Zhao Di does not need to rebuild a delivery system to improve the business of the store and provide convenience to customers. Mo Shaoheng can collect some compensation.
Zhao Di: "..."
"That's what you planned from the beginning?"
Cover all the convenient services around with the little peddler.
He can also see the impact on his shop once this convenient method is pushed away.
Especially after getting used to door-to-door delivery, I am afraid that people will choose to buy things from them even if the distance is far away.
Mo Shaoheng didn't hide it either, "In the beginning, I really wanted to help this group of children, but after it was formed, I thought about it even more."
"How is it? My little shopkeepers didn't raise them in vain, did they?"
Zhao Di took a look.
She has been as cunning as a fox since she was a child, and now she doesn't give in too much.
After thinking about it, he nodded. The cost of home delivery is not high, and it is completely inferior to the benefits it brings. Many people who originally just came to watch the Battle of the Three Streets were unwilling to carry things because of the distance. Go back, now you have to change your mind.
Mo Shaoheng hurriedly took out a contract, "Come, come, sign it."
What kind of family, the contract is still reliable, because maybe one day their marriage contract will be gone.
Besides, the brothers are still clear about their accounts, even if Zhao Di calls his daughter-in-law at this time, it is useless.
Zhao Di: "..."
This is well prepared.
After signing the contract, Mo Shaoheng happily returned to Zhenbei Palace.
As soon as he entered the mansion, an old lady came to tell him to go to his grandmother's place.
My grandmother has recently been able to walk on her own. I heard that when I went out, I was stunned by many people, especially my grandmother's old sisters, who were so surprised that they kept asking my grandmother for prescriptions.
Seeing Mo Shaoheng coming, grandma had a big smile on her face. Recently, their house has been celebrating a lot.
Grandma said, "Grandma is getting old, and some things are beyond her control."
After speaking, he took out a stack of ledgers, "You are the only male in Zhenbei Palace, these things will be handed over to you sooner or later, and you are busy with the business of the shop recently, so I just hand them over to you to take care of them. "
Mo Shaoheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Grandma is indeed old, and it is more appropriate to live a leisurely life instead of worrying about it.
In addition to the ledger, it is the deeds of some shops, the title deeds of the fields, etc.
Then there are some expenses that Mo Shaoheng has spent recently.
After looking at it for a while, I couldn't help sighing again, the prodigal son, the money was not earned, but a lot was spent, such as the renovation of the noodle shop, making those tables and stools, it cost a lot.
"By the way." At this time, the grandmother suddenly said, "It's been 20 years, and the marriage contract with King Yan has dragged on for too long."
"The other King Yan is still unmarried."
"Although King Yan and Concubine Tian haven't said anything yet, we can't turn a blind eye and delay others."
"Due to various reasons, I have not been able to deal with this matter. Now that you are returning to Liangjing, I think it is time to discuss it with King Yan and Concubine Tian."
This kind of thing doesn't even count as retiring and regretting the engagement. After all, it was an oolong marriage contract, which lasted until now by accident.
But it can't be made public for everyone to see the joke, so it still needs to be discussed by both parties.
Mrs. Yong'an next to her showed joy on her face, not only King Yan couldn't get married, but their family's Heng'er was also the same, with this marriage contract, it was always a kind of bondage.
Said, "I have recently gotten close to several wives, and I heard from them that the noble daughters of several families have reached the age of marriage."
"There are a few young ladies who belong to the right family. I have seen them a few times inadvertently. They are very handsome..."
She saw it by accident, maybe it was an opportunity deliberately created to see it.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by his grandmother, "Don't talk about this now."
The marriage contract has not yet been dissolved, so they spread it everywhere. If it gets out, it will naturally be bad.
Mrs. Yong'an replied, "Naturally, I have a sense of propriety, so I just thought about it in my heart, and I didn't say anything to others."
Mo Shaoheng: "..."
It's true that you didn't talk to others, but you've already started to talk about it secretly.
This is how to do?
If the engagement is broken, will he be urged to marry?No, this engagement cannot be dissolved yet.
Unless, he can barely think about finding a decent man for him.
But if you say this, you will faint.
He coughed and responded with his mouth, but his heart began to twist and turn.
The next day was the time for the Great Court Meeting, and Mo Shaoheng was going to go to court.
In the early morning, it was still mainly about building the canal.
Zhao Lan's eyes are green, and he is very resentful. This kind of errand has actually fallen from his hands to King Yan's. default in this matter.
He is now an invisible person in the Golden Palace. As the prince of Beiliang, he cannot participate in the biggest event in Beiliang.
Mo Shaoheng watched Zhao Di the whole time, what method can he use to persuade Zhao Di not to break off the engagement?
At Zhao Di's age, it is the most lush time in spring, and he probably wants to go crazy if he wants to marry a wife.
Mo Shaoheng felt that Zhao Di was holding back pitifully, he was a good young man, and he still had to rely on the Five Fingers girl.
Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, Zhao Di must blame him to death.
I don't know if Mo Shaoheng's eyes were too hot, but Zhao Di actually looked back with a frown.
Mo Shaoheng quickly retracted his gaze with a guilty conscience.
He really wanted Zhao Di to keep procrastinating on the engagement, preferably for a lifetime.
Of course, this idea is somewhat unrealistic.
There were no surprises in the morning court today, because it was a big court meeting, and all the ministries were reporting on their duties. It had nothing to do with a small official like Mo Shaoheng, and he didn't even need to open his mouth.
After the court, Mo Shaoheng was waiting outside the Golden Palace.
After Zhao Di came out, he walked over.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Di took the initiative to say this time, "What are you doing looking at me in the hall?"
Mo Shaoheng panicked and said, "If you don't look at me, how do you know I'm looking at you?"
Zhao Di: "..."
That feeling like a thorn in the back, do you still need him to see it?
All morning, my eyes were on him, thinking he didn't know, so I pretended.
asked, "What's wrong?"
Mo Shaoheng hesitated for a moment, "There is indeed a small matter, um, a big matter."
"Let's go aside and talk."
Now they are at the gate of the Golden Palace, and the courtiers who came out can see them clearly.
The courtiers are still wondering, Mo Shaoheng and King Yan have such a good relationship?
Didn't King Yan freeze to death when he saw everyone?
I couldn't help muttering in my heart, the little daughter-in-law is really different.
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he will let the Minister of Rites come to catch the scene later, and meet without going through the door, which is not suitable for etiquette.
It can't be seen that the two of them are flushed.
Mo Shaoheng and Zhao Di walked to a corner, avoiding everyone's eyes.
Mo Shaoheng hesitated a little, how could he open his mouth?
Telling a good young man of marriageable age not to get married first, the reason is to help him procrastinate?
Zhao Di frowned at Mo Shaoheng.
Mo Shaoheng gritted his teeth, "King Yan, do you have a sweetheart now?"
Zhao Di: "..."
What?
Mo Shaoheng: "If not, can you not call off the engagement for now?"
Craving Baba.
Zhao Di: "..."
Zhao Di coughed in surprise, his face was a bit unnatural, Mo Shaoheng what... mean?
Don't want to divorce?
Maybe you don't want to divorce?Otherwise, how could I find him in person.
Zhao Di's gaze was actually a little vacillating.
Mo Shaoheng was about to say something when Zhao Di said, "I can promise you, but...you have to promise one condition."
Mo Shaoheng hurriedly asked, "What conditions?"
Zhao Di replied, "It's a promise. When I ask you to fulfill this promise in the future, you must not refuse."
Mo Shaoheng frowned.
promise?
Promises like this cannot be made indiscriminately, just like he once made a promise to Qin Sheng Liu Guichen, who would have known that this promise would cost him an unimaginable price.
Unknown promises are always the scariest.
Seemingly seeing Mo Shaoheng's hesitation, Zhao Di said seriously, "Don't worry, this promise will not harm the interests of your Zhenbei Palace."
Mo Shaoheng looked at Zhao Di suspiciously, feeling that Zhao Di was digging holes for him.
Zhao Di thought for a while and continued, "Not only will it not harm the interests of your Zhenbei Palace, but it will even double your current property."
Mo Shaoheng was astonished, he now has a property of one street, can his property become three streets?
Unbelievable, what kind of promise is this, and there is such a good thing.
Zhao Di stopped talking.
Mo Shaoheng was entangled. To be honest, even if it was any other difficulties, he could even find a way to overcome them.
But this important marriage event involves the closest relatives.
There are too many problems that need to be faced, such as helplessness, compromise, or other things, and you can’t insist on it. Talking about personal freedom, this kind of thinking is impossible to make sense now.
Zhao Di added, "At that time, it will be as simple as nodding or shaking your head."
Mo Shaoheng: "..."
Gritting his teeth, "This is what you said, and it will not harm the interests of my Zhenbei Palace."
"If there is a deviation, I will definitely not fulfill this promise."
Zhao Di nodded.
After parting.
Zhinan and Zhibei next to Zhao Di couldn't help but look at each other.
What happened to their master?Why do you feel a little lost after chatting with the prince?
Just as he was about to ask a question, Zhao Di actually spoke first.
"Two people who were going to break up their engagement, suddenly one of them said that they don't want to break up. Why?"
Zhinan replied, "I must be reluctant."
The corners of Zhao Di's mouth turned upwards, as expected, Mo Shaoheng must be reluctant, heh.
At this time, Zhibei said, "Not necessarily, maybe there is some purpose."
Zhao Di frowned, "How can there be such a treacherous person in this world?"
As soon as the voice fell, Zhibei interjected, "Why not? Master, think about the son's childhood, but he played everyone around."
Treacherous and slippery.
Zhao Di snorted, but didn't speak.
Zhinan and Zhibei looked at each other, Zhinan opened his mouth and made a lip expression, did you see that the son gave the master money just now?
Their master is smart all his life, but his son is like a nemesis, every time they cheat their master, they can see the strangeness, but it takes a long time for their master to react.
Wait until you react, things have passed for a long time, and the anger has almost disappeared.
what is this?
At this time, Mo Shaoheng was still frowning. Originally, he had prepared a lot of arguments to persuade Zhao Di, but none of them worked.
Zhao Di didn't take into account that he was about to become an "old leftover man" and his physical and mental health problems, and he agreed directly.
The trouble is with this commitment.
After thinking about it, I didn't come up with a clue.
Anyway, he and Zhao Di are barely on the same boat now. While he saved himself, he also allowed Zhao Di to benefit from it, such as building the canal. Without him, Zhao Di might have won some initiative, but It will never be this easy.
For this sake, Zhao Di probably wouldn't cheat him either.
Suspicious.
Just as she was about to leave the palace, at this moment, an old mother ran over, "Your Majesty, Concubine Tian summoned you."
Mo Shaoheng was taken aback for a moment, and looked at the old nanny, it was an old nanny he had known since he lived in the palace when he was a child, so he couldn't help asking.
It turned out to be a matter of silkworm rearing.
After Tianfei got the silkworm eggs and the method of raising silkworms, she got familiar with it for a while and started raising them at that time, and indeed she could harvest a batch of autumn silkworms.
This is to call him to see the silkworm's situation. After all, the matter is of great importance, and Tianfei sometimes has her heart in suspense.
Mo Shaoheng followed the old lady to Zhuxia Palace.
In front of the palace gate, Zhao Di arrived just in time.
Zhao Di was also taken aback for a moment, he had just stopped by to see his mother and concubine.
Walk into the hall together.
Concubine Tian smiled happily, "Why are you two here together?"
The old nanny next to him also laughed, "I just saw His Highness and His Royal Highness walking in, and this old servant couldn't help but think of his childhood, when His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness were inseparable."
Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, that's not true, it's obviously Zhao Di's little bitter gourd that sticks to him like a dog's skin plaster every time, thinking that he can really play with a child.
The old mother continued, "It's also a little different. Your Highness and the prince are both good-looking talents now. When they walked in, even our hall was brighter."
"It's not that the old slave said, in Liangjing, where can we find two masters like our Zhuxia Palace?"
Tianfei smiled lightly and covered her mouth.
Both of them were raised by her, so when others praise them, they are naturally happy.
But no, when the two walked in, it was like a painting.
After Mo Shaoheng and Zhao Di met the ceremony, Concubine Tian said, "By the way, Concubine Zhenbei sent a handwritten letter to the palace today, talking about the marriage contract between you two."
Mo Shaoheng quickly straightened his body, his mother acted so fast, fortunately he acted faster beforehand.
"Seeing that the two of you are so old now, if there were no accidents, you should have started a family by now."
"Now the situation has stabilized. Princess Zhenbei wrote to ask for my opinion. I think it's time."
"Why don't you choose a date and cancel this engagement?"
Mo Shaoheng: "..."
Zhao Di: "..."
Zhao Di glanced at Mo Shaoheng, no wonder Mo Shaoheng came to him today, it turned out that he got the news early.
At this time, Mo Shaoheng stood upright and replied, "Everything is up to the concubine Tian, if King Yan agrees to terminate the engagement, then it will be terminated."
A dead fellow Taoist is not a poor Taoist, anyway, Zhao Di promised him that he would not dissolve the engagement.
Amitabha also let Zhao Di know how dangerous the human heart is, this is for Zhao Di's good.
He looked at his nose and nose with concern, completely ignoring Zhao Di's piercing gaze.
Concubine Tian looked at Zhao Di, "What does Di'er think? How about choosing an auspicious day? I happened to see some noble girls with suitable age and family affairs with Princess Zhenbei."
Zhao Di: "..."
Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, it turned out that it wasn't just his mother who was thinking about it, it was his mother and Tianfei who were thinking about it together, and even his noble daughter secretly went to see it.
At any rate... At any rate, he and Zhao Di still have an engagement, so it feels a bit...
Of course, this is not the point now.
Mo Shaoheng also looked at Zhao Di, "What do you think, Your Highness?"
"Your Highness is in charge of everything."
Zhao Di: "..."
"Well, Qin Tianjian has recently questioned, saying that it is not an auspicious day recently."
Concubine Tian was taken aback, why didn't she know that King Yan was still paying attention to Qin Tianjian's affairs?
Mo Shaoheng suppressed his laughter, he was embarrassed for King Yan, what a bad excuse.
Mo Shaoheng coughed, "How is your mother's silkworm breeding? I heard from my mother on the road just now that it's already quite hot."
Speaking of this, Tianfei then diverted her attention, "Don't underestimate these little silkworms, raising them is actually not as easy as raising children. For several nights, I worried about getting up in the middle of the night to check..."
Taking advantage of this conversation, Mo Shaoheng said, "Just take me to have a look. After all, there is only one box of silkworm eggs, so there is nothing wrong with it."
Tianfei then took the people to the silkworm house.
Although there is only one box of silkworm eggs, silkworm eggs are much smaller than sesame seeds.
After hatching, not only Zhuxia Palace, but also several palaces around were freed up to raise silkworms.
Of course, this amount is still insignificant for the entire Beiliang.
Mo Shaoheng looked around, and his ears were filled with the sound of silkworms nibbling on mulberry leaves. He heard it all, and it actually sounded good after he got used to it.
One by one, silkworm babies, still white in color, crawled in special dustpans, everywhere.
Mo Shaoheng looked at the mulberry leaves that were specially picked by people. Beiliang mostly used mulberry hemp to make hemp clothes, so there was no shortage of mulberry leaves.
One or two reminders, "Mulberry leaves must not be exposed to any dew, and they must be checked repeatedly before feeding."
The moisture needed by silkworms is obtained through the mulberry leaves themselves, without dew.
On the contrary, a little dew can flood silkworms to death.
I also looked at the environment such as ventilation and quietness.
They are all doing well, and they are doing it neatly according to the sericulture manual he wrote before.
After the inspection, he explained a few more words about the maid who raised silkworms, and then left.
After leaving Zhuxia Palace, Mo Shaoheng felt a pair of sharp eyes staring at his back.
Such as a thorn back.
Mo Shaoheng ran away, not forgetting to remind while running, "Anyway... you promised not to annul the engagement."
Amitabha, it's a sin, and those who urge marriage should go to King Yan. It's King Yan who begs Bailai and refuses to divorce, and he has nothing to do with him.
sin sin.
Zhao Di snorted coldly, "He ran pretty fast."
This temperament has not changed at all.
Then, he also had some headaches.
How can I find such an excuse? It stands to reason that the engagement should be terminated, but when Mo Shaoheng said that he didn't want to terminate the engagement, his brain got heated, and he agreed without thinking about the consequences.
Great bitterness and deep hatred.
At this time, Mo Shaoheng was going to Bird Clothes Lane in a carriage.
I was still thinking in my heart, Zhao Di said that he doubled his property in an instant, how could it be possible?
Even a business genius like him can't do it. Their land deeds in Liangjing are very valuable. Even though his location is not the most prosperous, each shop is worth a lot of money.
Driving into Bird Clothes Lane, I don't know if it was the reason for the staff dinner yesterday to promote their products. At this time, there are more people on the street than before.
Mo Shaoheng saw two half-grown children standing on tiptoe in front of the ice cream shop, raising the copper coins in their hands high, "Ice cream sundae, thank you."
Now their ice cream shop has some new tricks. In addition to the old popsicles and ice buckets, they have added fruit ice cream with fruits and goat milk to make torched ice cream.
Whether it is a commoner or aristocrat, there will always be a choice that suits them. Although Mo Shaoheng thinks that the most thirst-quenching is the old popsicle, of course the old popsicle is the least profitable.
There were also people buying in front of the steamed stuffed bun shop and braised meat shop, and there were actually people eating noodles in the noodle shop.
On the street, there is also a cloth banner with "Chuan Chuan" written on it.
Zhao Jingcheng, Nan Yi, etc. are at the door of the Chuan Chuan shop.
Zhao Jingcheng: "Nan Yi, I invite you to eat skewers, how about going to Dongshi to see the businessmen from Dongtang after eating?"
Along with the Dongtang grain transportation team, there are also Dongtang merchants.
Nan Yi: "..."
Invite him to eat?
He always brushed his face while eating in Bird Clothes Lane, and the young master said that if he kept talking, the shop would be shut down by him.
Zhao Jingcheng continued, "I heard that among the merchants of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, there are also many merchants from other regions. , some people have golden hair..."
Nan Yi replied, "The dark-skinned ones are merchants from Negrito, the curly-haired ones are mostly from Arabia, and the blonde-haired ones are Persian merchants."
He used to let the young master take him out of the palace to sneak a peek at the foreign merchants in Lidu, that's what the young master told him.
Zhao Jingcheng and others: "..."
What the hell?
At this time, Mo Shaoheng walked up, Zhao Yuning and Fan Shen were still carrying their big suitcases, and they jumped up from time to time, "The setting sun is hanging upside down."
From time to time, I can still hear, "The wind is crying in my ears, I am listening to the wailing of prey..."
"The assassin in the dark, crushing everything with strength..."
Wait for a similar sound.
Wherever you go and wherever you go, the return rate is 100%.
Guaranteed to blow up an entire street.
Mo Shaoheng looked at Zhao Jingcheng's armor and the big shield in his hand, and asked, "Aren't you hot?"
Zhao Jingcheng shook his head.
Today, when he went to the Imperial College, he wore this outfit. The students of the Imperial College screamed when they saw him, although he was reprimanded by his master, and he was not allowed to do this in the Imperial College.
He came to Wuyi Lane, and he still had to wear enough clothes.
Mo Shaoheng asked again, "Isn't Mr. Zhishan's class today? Why did you escape?"
Mr. Zhishan did not resign from class, but was told by the sacrificial wine.
Speaking of this, Zhao Jingcheng felt a little embarrassed, "Today, Mr. Zhishan... was mad at me again, so we went out
"What is a staff dinner?"
"I don't know, I haven't heard of it."
"Suddenly discovered that since Mo Shaoheng returned to Liangjing, he has made a lot of strange things."
"Is this how Nanli is?"
In ancient times, due to the inconvenient transportation, apart from great Confucian scholars who traveled around to study and knights who traveled the rivers and lakes, there were actually very few people who had been to other places.
Mo Shaoheng looked at the sky, and started to make it now, and it is estimated that dinner will be ready in the evening.
He has a lot of employees, and there is no room for any shop.
Simply ask people to move the tables and stools to the street.
This street is all his business, and no one said anything, unlike in modern times, he certainly can't occupy the entire street for personal reasons.
But the tables, stools and bowls and chopsticks are worse.
Mo Shaoheng thought for a while, and went to the next two streets to borrow some.
He didn't borrow it for nothing, and invited Zhao Di to have a meal, which was regarded as a reward.
Careful budgeting, very stingy.
The busyness has officially begun.
On the street, tables one by one formed a long queue, and there were two hundred small shopkeepers alone, so the battle was naturally not small.
Everyone: "..."
"What is this doing?"
"I don't understand."
There is no concept of running water banquets in Beiliang yet, because the common people cannot afford running water banquets, and the nobles always have banquets in their own mansions, so they will not lower their status to eat on the street.
Therefore, for a while, I didn't understand what this was doing.
Mo Shaoheng is sending people to steam buns, make noodles, and braised pork.
Although it is not a big meal, everyone can also eat a small portion, the same small portion, and they are probably full.
After thinking about it, a staff dinner must be lively, and some lively food must be prepared.
In modern times, skewers that are popular all over the streets and alleys are good. Of course, it is unrealistic for everyone to boil them by themselves, and there are not so many pots and utensils.
Had to make cold pot skewers.
Skewers are also easy and convenient to make, which is just right for this large-scale situation.
Mo Shaoheng asked Uncle Yu to take someone to cut bamboo sticks.
Let people go shopping again.
A list of condiments was made, and people ran around to collect all the condiments.
This work went straight to the evening.
Mo Shaoheng hurriedly sent someone to call his little peddler, and told them to sit down first and wait.
Those who stayed to watch the fun looked at a large group of people sitting obediently on the street: "..."
I don't understand.
The little peddler was also very confused, so strange, he only said that he was asking them to come to the staff dinner, but they didn't understand.
At this time, rows of people started serving dishes with their food trays.
One bun per person, a small bowl of biangbiang noodles, a small plate of braised pork, and a large bowl of skewers.
The atmosphere immediately rose.
A group of small shopkeepers blinked their eyes, isn't this what they sell in their shop?
However, apart from buns, they have never eaten anything else.
Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, how could his employees have never tasted his products.
Fifteen students, including Zhao Jingcheng, were also among them, watching their noses and noses and their minds, and preparing to fish for fish in troubled waters. They probably thought it was fun.
Beside him, Dou Zi tilted his head and looked at Zhao Jingcheng and the others, "They are not small shopkeepers!"
Zhao Jingcheng stared over quickly, and Douzi was so frightened that his head was buried in his neck.
Mo Shaoheng is arranging for Zhao Di and Zhao Yanqiu to be seated.
There are even several other princes from the prince team.
Zhao Di Zhao Yanqiu: "..."
look at each other.
This is a banquet?But I have never seen such a strange banquet, what is Mo Shaoheng doing?
Mo Shaoheng smiled and said, "Happy with the people, Your Highnesses probably haven't been so close to the people of Liangjing, today is a good time to try."
People around: "..."
Only then did they roughly understand the meaning of Mo Shaoheng's staff dinner.
Mo Shaoheng, the prodigal son, has just started to have a little business in his shop, right?
It is estimated that the money earned is not enough for these small shopkeepers to eat.
But no one said anything. They knew very well what these little peddlers used to do.
Speaking of which, after joining Mo Shaoheng, these small shopkeepers have really lived a completely different life from before. They are clean, have food and shelter, and now they call them little beggars, I am afraid no one will believe it.
Mo Shaoheng is really taking care of these little beggars seriously.
I don't know why, but there is an inexplicable sense of admiration in my heart.
Do what no one else has done, and do it alone.
Mo Shaoheng's voice also came out, "As you can see, we have quite a few new shops in Niaoyi Lane."
"As employees of Zhenbei Wangfu, everyone has not even tried the food on their own shop for so long."
"Today is just right, let's gather everyone together and try our own things."
"Don't talk too much, lest the food get cold, everyone will use their chopsticks to eat."
Everyone: "..."
Is this a staff dinner?
If the onlookers were just watching the fun, then it would be a different feeling to be a small shopkeeper, shopkeeper, clerk, craftsman, etc. sitting down in Wuyi Lane.
In addition to feeling lively, I actually felt a strange warmth from it.
Employee dinners are a cohesive culture.
Dare to ask which nobleman, which boss, can care about them so much?
You know, working for the boss is basically equivalent to selling yourself to the boss, which is not much different from being a slave, and you can only work hard all the time.
A group of small shopkeepers blinked their eyes. Is this really for them to eat?
They feel that eating steamed buns every day is the happiest thing, especially when they can receive steamed stuffed buns three times a day.
At the beginning, I was a little restrained, and I didn't dare to move my chopsticks. I gnawed on a bun like a little mouse, cute and cute.
However, led by Zhao Jingcheng's dozen or so people laughing and laughing, they slowly became active.
Zhao Jingcheng still said, "If you don't eat biangbiang noodles, you will get tired."
A group of small shopkeepers looked at half a bowl of biangbiang noodles.
Oops, it would be such a waste to get tired of it.
How can food be wasted!
Then the little hand picked up the chopsticks and picked the noodles into his mouth.
The taste of seasoning and noodles mixed together, as soon as it enters the mouth, the taste dissipates.
The whole scene was full of naughty voices.
"Really delicious."
This is the biangbiang noodles they sell. No wonder even nobles have people come to buy their biangbiang noodles.
Then there is the braised pork.
It can be said that the possibility of these small shopkeepers being able to eat meat is really too small.
Put the stewed meat in your mouth and chew.
The whole face was smiling so that only a split mouth remained.
The picture is so beautiful, there are neat rows and rows, only the mouths are smiling, and the eyes are slits.
Their stewed pork is also delicious.
"It smells good."
The atmosphere is completely up.
A voice of praise.
Then he reached out to pick up the bamboo sticks, which were all vegetarian dishes.
It looks very special and very beautiful.
Even Zhao Di, Zhao Yanqiu and several princes have never eaten.
Put the skewered dishes into their mouths, the unique taste of seasoning, mixed with the taste of vegetables, is a taste they have never tried before.
Rolling skewers, eating steamed stuffed buns, biangbiang noodles, and braised pork.
Zhao Di looked at Mo Shaoheng in surprise.
Mo Shaoheng smiled, "What is the purpose of making money? Isn't it just to live a better life and be happier."
"Some people become crazy and persistent in order to make money, and forget the most fundamental reason."
"That would be great."
But he thought in his heart that he also wanted to make more money, but he couldn't make it, and he couldn't comfort himself.
Damn, I almost didn't cry, I had to swallow my tears.
The princes were obviously stunned, looking at the bustling street.
A strange idea popped up in my heart, maybe, the book says that the common people live and work in peace and contentment, and the Qingning and prosperity of Haiyan and Heqing are almost like this.
Look at these little peddlers, they were still begging around, servile little beggars, but now they are smiling so happily.
The spectators around were also stunned. The scene at this moment made them all feel a sense of envy and yearning.
In his cool capital, there is such a cozy corner.
During the period, Mo Shaoheng even went to check on his little shopkeeper, "How does it taste?"
A group of small shopkeepers laughed until their eyes turned into crescent moons, "It's so delicious."
"We used to think buns were the most delicious thing in the world, but we didn't expect there to be so many other than buns."
In the laughter, it actually made people feel a little sad.
To modern people, a bun is nothing, but in the hearts of these small shopkeepers, it is the most delicious thing in the world.
This kind of thought made people tremble in the first place.
Mo Shaoheng sighed and said, "I hope that in the future, all people will have something to rely on when they are old, and support when they are young, so that there will be no lonely people in the world."
For a while, there was no sound.
The old have something to depend on, the young have something to support, and there are no lonely and helpless people in the world?
At this moment, Mo Shaoheng seemed to have something extra on his body.
I can't see it clearly, and I can't understand it, but it just attracts people to watch.
Putting aside those infamy and prejudice, is this the real Mo Shaoheng?
Several princes also opened their mouths.
They just came to Japan today to participate in the Battle of the Three Streets, and they didn't expect that a sudden staff dinner would actually give them some feelings.
Mo Shaoheng also smiled, these princes usually either study in the palace or participate in various royal activities, never have they seen any real suffering in the world.
What is written in the book, how can it be as touching as what I saw with my own eyes.
Soon, joyous laughter dilutes the sorrow.
"This skewer is really delicious."
"It's a pleasure to eat."
Obviously the dish is still the same dish, but it is cut into small pieces and skewered on bamboo sticks, how can there be some wonderful changes in it.
The sunset glow shines into this street, shining on all the smiling faces from ear to ear.
Mo Shaoheng announced two more things, "Starting from tomorrow, the Battle of the Three Streets will start from the top [-] to the top eight."
"I decided to set up some rewards for the winners. All the teams that enter the quarterfinals will have the right to eat in my bird clothing alley for a day."
These sixteen teams are now somewhat famous, and he set up this reward mostly for advertising.
It doesn't cost much to pack a day's food, even if you eat with an open stomach, but if eating in Wuyi Lane for a day becomes a glory that people pass on by word of mouth, the value will be too great.
Everyone: "..."
Mo Shaoheng is also too good at spending money.
In their eyes, Mo Shaoheng didn't seem to get any benefit from holding the Three Streets Battle, and now there are awards.
Mo Shaoheng then announced the second thing, "Every month from now on, we will hold a staff dinner."
Whoa!
A group of small shopkeepers screamed with joy.
People in Liangjing: "..."
Even if ordinary people in Beiliang can't eat meat a few times a year, these small shopkeepers can live a good life.
In the end, one of them got a piece of ice cream after the meal, so happy.
As the setting sun sets, the excitement dissipates.
Mo Shaoheng sent away the princes and left Zhao Di behind.
"How about we do a deal?"
Zhao Di: "..."
Mo Shaoheng continued, "In the past two days, someone who bought something from your store came to my place to use the home delivery service."
"The reasons are more bizarre than the last, and they make sense."
"Although my little peddler is very free now, he can't just do things for you, can't he?"
Then the voice changed into two words, "Give me money!"
He can provide door-to-door delivery service, but he has to charge money.
Mo Shaoheng: "I have drawn up a regulation for using my shopkeeper's door-to-door service, take a look."
"Anyone who buys goods in your shop and comes to me to use the door-to-door service, I will charge you a certain fee according to the distance."
"From Swallow Street, you will only be charged one copper coin for an order, and you will be charged two copper coins for an order from Swallow Street to Cloister Street..."
"Cheap?"
At that time, he can still collect a little delivery money from the customer, that is to say, his little shopkeeper will collect money for the door-to-door service.
Although there are not many, but accumulating sand into a tower is not.
Moreover, the three parties can benefit, and the common people enjoy the convenience. Zhao Di does not need to rebuild a delivery system to improve the business of the store and provide convenience to customers. Mo Shaoheng can collect some compensation.
Zhao Di: "..."
"That's what you planned from the beginning?"
Cover all the convenient services around with the little peddler.
He can also see the impact on his shop once this convenient method is pushed away.
Especially after getting used to door-to-door delivery, I am afraid that people will choose to buy things from them even if the distance is far away.
Mo Shaoheng didn't hide it either, "In the beginning, I really wanted to help this group of children, but after it was formed, I thought about it even more."
"How is it? My little shopkeepers didn't raise them in vain, did they?"
Zhao Di took a look.
She has been as cunning as a fox since she was a child, and now she doesn't give in too much.
After thinking about it, he nodded. The cost of home delivery is not high, and it is completely inferior to the benefits it brings. Many people who originally just came to watch the Battle of the Three Streets were unwilling to carry things because of the distance. Go back, now you have to change your mind.
Mo Shaoheng hurriedly took out a contract, "Come, come, sign it."
What kind of family, the contract is still reliable, because maybe one day their marriage contract will be gone.
Besides, the brothers are still clear about their accounts, even if Zhao Di calls his daughter-in-law at this time, it is useless.
Zhao Di: "..."
This is well prepared.
After signing the contract, Mo Shaoheng happily returned to Zhenbei Palace.
As soon as he entered the mansion, an old lady came to tell him to go to his grandmother's place.
My grandmother has recently been able to walk on her own. I heard that when I went out, I was stunned by many people, especially my grandmother's old sisters, who were so surprised that they kept asking my grandmother for prescriptions.
Seeing Mo Shaoheng coming, grandma had a big smile on her face. Recently, their house has been celebrating a lot.
Grandma said, "Grandma is getting old, and some things are beyond her control."
After speaking, he took out a stack of ledgers, "You are the only male in Zhenbei Palace, these things will be handed over to you sooner or later, and you are busy with the business of the shop recently, so I just hand them over to you to take care of them. "
Mo Shaoheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Grandma is indeed old, and it is more appropriate to live a leisurely life instead of worrying about it.
In addition to the ledger, it is the deeds of some shops, the title deeds of the fields, etc.
Then there are some expenses that Mo Shaoheng has spent recently.
After looking at it for a while, I couldn't help sighing again, the prodigal son, the money was not earned, but a lot was spent, such as the renovation of the noodle shop, making those tables and stools, it cost a lot.
"By the way." At this time, the grandmother suddenly said, "It's been 20 years, and the marriage contract with King Yan has dragged on for too long."
"The other King Yan is still unmarried."
"Although King Yan and Concubine Tian haven't said anything yet, we can't turn a blind eye and delay others."
"Due to various reasons, I have not been able to deal with this matter. Now that you are returning to Liangjing, I think it is time to discuss it with King Yan and Concubine Tian."
This kind of thing doesn't even count as retiring and regretting the engagement. After all, it was an oolong marriage contract, which lasted until now by accident.
But it can't be made public for everyone to see the joke, so it still needs to be discussed by both parties.
Mrs. Yong'an next to her showed joy on her face, not only King Yan couldn't get married, but their family's Heng'er was also the same, with this marriage contract, it was always a kind of bondage.
Said, "I have recently gotten close to several wives, and I heard from them that the noble daughters of several families have reached the age of marriage."
"There are a few young ladies who belong to the right family. I have seen them a few times inadvertently. They are very handsome..."
She saw it by accident, maybe it was an opportunity deliberately created to see it.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by his grandmother, "Don't talk about this now."
The marriage contract has not yet been dissolved, so they spread it everywhere. If it gets out, it will naturally be bad.
Mrs. Yong'an replied, "Naturally, I have a sense of propriety, so I just thought about it in my heart, and I didn't say anything to others."
Mo Shaoheng: "..."
It's true that you didn't talk to others, but you've already started to talk about it secretly.
This is how to do?
If the engagement is broken, will he be urged to marry?No, this engagement cannot be dissolved yet.
Unless, he can barely think about finding a decent man for him.
But if you say this, you will faint.
He coughed and responded with his mouth, but his heart began to twist and turn.
The next day was the time for the Great Court Meeting, and Mo Shaoheng was going to go to court.
In the early morning, it was still mainly about building the canal.
Zhao Lan's eyes are green, and he is very resentful. This kind of errand has actually fallen from his hands to King Yan's. default in this matter.
He is now an invisible person in the Golden Palace. As the prince of Beiliang, he cannot participate in the biggest event in Beiliang.
Mo Shaoheng watched Zhao Di the whole time, what method can he use to persuade Zhao Di not to break off the engagement?
At Zhao Di's age, it is the most lush time in spring, and he probably wants to go crazy if he wants to marry a wife.
Mo Shaoheng felt that Zhao Di was holding back pitifully, he was a good young man, and he still had to rely on the Five Fingers girl.
Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, Zhao Di must blame him to death.
I don't know if Mo Shaoheng's eyes were too hot, but Zhao Di actually looked back with a frown.
Mo Shaoheng quickly retracted his gaze with a guilty conscience.
He really wanted Zhao Di to keep procrastinating on the engagement, preferably for a lifetime.
Of course, this idea is somewhat unrealistic.
There were no surprises in the morning court today, because it was a big court meeting, and all the ministries were reporting on their duties. It had nothing to do with a small official like Mo Shaoheng, and he didn't even need to open his mouth.
After the court, Mo Shaoheng was waiting outside the Golden Palace.
After Zhao Di came out, he walked over.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Di took the initiative to say this time, "What are you doing looking at me in the hall?"
Mo Shaoheng panicked and said, "If you don't look at me, how do you know I'm looking at you?"
Zhao Di: "..."
That feeling like a thorn in the back, do you still need him to see it?
All morning, my eyes were on him, thinking he didn't know, so I pretended.
asked, "What's wrong?"
Mo Shaoheng hesitated for a moment, "There is indeed a small matter, um, a big matter."
"Let's go aside and talk."
Now they are at the gate of the Golden Palace, and the courtiers who came out can see them clearly.
The courtiers are still wondering, Mo Shaoheng and King Yan have such a good relationship?
Didn't King Yan freeze to death when he saw everyone?
I couldn't help muttering in my heart, the little daughter-in-law is really different.
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he will let the Minister of Rites come to catch the scene later, and meet without going through the door, which is not suitable for etiquette.
It can't be seen that the two of them are flushed.
Mo Shaoheng and Zhao Di walked to a corner, avoiding everyone's eyes.
Mo Shaoheng hesitated a little, how could he open his mouth?
Telling a good young man of marriageable age not to get married first, the reason is to help him procrastinate?
Zhao Di frowned at Mo Shaoheng.
Mo Shaoheng gritted his teeth, "King Yan, do you have a sweetheart now?"
Zhao Di: "..."
What?
Mo Shaoheng: "If not, can you not call off the engagement for now?"
Craving Baba.
Zhao Di: "..."
Zhao Di coughed in surprise, his face was a bit unnatural, Mo Shaoheng what... mean?
Don't want to divorce?
Maybe you don't want to divorce?Otherwise, how could I find him in person.
Zhao Di's gaze was actually a little vacillating.
Mo Shaoheng was about to say something when Zhao Di said, "I can promise you, but...you have to promise one condition."
Mo Shaoheng hurriedly asked, "What conditions?"
Zhao Di replied, "It's a promise. When I ask you to fulfill this promise in the future, you must not refuse."
Mo Shaoheng frowned.
promise?
Promises like this cannot be made indiscriminately, just like he once made a promise to Qin Sheng Liu Guichen, who would have known that this promise would cost him an unimaginable price.
Unknown promises are always the scariest.
Seemingly seeing Mo Shaoheng's hesitation, Zhao Di said seriously, "Don't worry, this promise will not harm the interests of your Zhenbei Palace."
Mo Shaoheng looked at Zhao Di suspiciously, feeling that Zhao Di was digging holes for him.
Zhao Di thought for a while and continued, "Not only will it not harm the interests of your Zhenbei Palace, but it will even double your current property."
Mo Shaoheng was astonished, he now has a property of one street, can his property become three streets?
Unbelievable, what kind of promise is this, and there is such a good thing.
Zhao Di stopped talking.
Mo Shaoheng was entangled. To be honest, even if it was any other difficulties, he could even find a way to overcome them.
But this important marriage event involves the closest relatives.
There are too many problems that need to be faced, such as helplessness, compromise, or other things, and you can’t insist on it. Talking about personal freedom, this kind of thinking is impossible to make sense now.
Zhao Di added, "At that time, it will be as simple as nodding or shaking your head."
Mo Shaoheng: "..."
Gritting his teeth, "This is what you said, and it will not harm the interests of my Zhenbei Palace."
"If there is a deviation, I will definitely not fulfill this promise."
Zhao Di nodded.
After parting.
Zhinan and Zhibei next to Zhao Di couldn't help but look at each other.
What happened to their master?Why do you feel a little lost after chatting with the prince?
Just as he was about to ask a question, Zhao Di actually spoke first.
"Two people who were going to break up their engagement, suddenly one of them said that they don't want to break up. Why?"
Zhinan replied, "I must be reluctant."
The corners of Zhao Di's mouth turned upwards, as expected, Mo Shaoheng must be reluctant, heh.
At this time, Zhibei said, "Not necessarily, maybe there is some purpose."
Zhao Di frowned, "How can there be such a treacherous person in this world?"
As soon as the voice fell, Zhibei interjected, "Why not? Master, think about the son's childhood, but he played everyone around."
Treacherous and slippery.
Zhao Di snorted, but didn't speak.
Zhinan and Zhibei looked at each other, Zhinan opened his mouth and made a lip expression, did you see that the son gave the master money just now?
Their master is smart all his life, but his son is like a nemesis, every time they cheat their master, they can see the strangeness, but it takes a long time for their master to react.
Wait until you react, things have passed for a long time, and the anger has almost disappeared.
what is this?
At this time, Mo Shaoheng was still frowning. Originally, he had prepared a lot of arguments to persuade Zhao Di, but none of them worked.
Zhao Di didn't take into account that he was about to become an "old leftover man" and his physical and mental health problems, and he agreed directly.
The trouble is with this commitment.
After thinking about it, I didn't come up with a clue.
Anyway, he and Zhao Di are barely on the same boat now. While he saved himself, he also allowed Zhao Di to benefit from it, such as building the canal. Without him, Zhao Di might have won some initiative, but It will never be this easy.
For this sake, Zhao Di probably wouldn't cheat him either.
Suspicious.
Just as she was about to leave the palace, at this moment, an old mother ran over, "Your Majesty, Concubine Tian summoned you."
Mo Shaoheng was taken aback for a moment, and looked at the old nanny, it was an old nanny he had known since he lived in the palace when he was a child, so he couldn't help asking.
It turned out to be a matter of silkworm rearing.
After Tianfei got the silkworm eggs and the method of raising silkworms, she got familiar with it for a while and started raising them at that time, and indeed she could harvest a batch of autumn silkworms.
This is to call him to see the silkworm's situation. After all, the matter is of great importance, and Tianfei sometimes has her heart in suspense.
Mo Shaoheng followed the old lady to Zhuxia Palace.
In front of the palace gate, Zhao Di arrived just in time.
Zhao Di was also taken aback for a moment, he had just stopped by to see his mother and concubine.
Walk into the hall together.
Concubine Tian smiled happily, "Why are you two here together?"
The old nanny next to him also laughed, "I just saw His Highness and His Royal Highness walking in, and this old servant couldn't help but think of his childhood, when His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness were inseparable."
Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, that's not true, it's obviously Zhao Di's little bitter gourd that sticks to him like a dog's skin plaster every time, thinking that he can really play with a child.
The old mother continued, "It's also a little different. Your Highness and the prince are both good-looking talents now. When they walked in, even our hall was brighter."
"It's not that the old slave said, in Liangjing, where can we find two masters like our Zhuxia Palace?"
Tianfei smiled lightly and covered her mouth.
Both of them were raised by her, so when others praise them, they are naturally happy.
But no, when the two walked in, it was like a painting.
After Mo Shaoheng and Zhao Di met the ceremony, Concubine Tian said, "By the way, Concubine Zhenbei sent a handwritten letter to the palace today, talking about the marriage contract between you two."
Mo Shaoheng quickly straightened his body, his mother acted so fast, fortunately he acted faster beforehand.
"Seeing that the two of you are so old now, if there were no accidents, you should have started a family by now."
"Now the situation has stabilized. Princess Zhenbei wrote to ask for my opinion. I think it's time."
"Why don't you choose a date and cancel this engagement?"
Mo Shaoheng: "..."
Zhao Di: "..."
Zhao Di glanced at Mo Shaoheng, no wonder Mo Shaoheng came to him today, it turned out that he got the news early.
At this time, Mo Shaoheng stood upright and replied, "Everything is up to the concubine Tian, if King Yan agrees to terminate the engagement, then it will be terminated."
A dead fellow Taoist is not a poor Taoist, anyway, Zhao Di promised him that he would not dissolve the engagement.
Amitabha also let Zhao Di know how dangerous the human heart is, this is for Zhao Di's good.
He looked at his nose and nose with concern, completely ignoring Zhao Di's piercing gaze.
Concubine Tian looked at Zhao Di, "What does Di'er think? How about choosing an auspicious day? I happened to see some noble girls with suitable age and family affairs with Princess Zhenbei."
Zhao Di: "..."
Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, it turned out that it wasn't just his mother who was thinking about it, it was his mother and Tianfei who were thinking about it together, and even his noble daughter secretly went to see it.
At any rate... At any rate, he and Zhao Di still have an engagement, so it feels a bit...
Of course, this is not the point now.
Mo Shaoheng also looked at Zhao Di, "What do you think, Your Highness?"
"Your Highness is in charge of everything."
Zhao Di: "..."
"Well, Qin Tianjian has recently questioned, saying that it is not an auspicious day recently."
Concubine Tian was taken aback, why didn't she know that King Yan was still paying attention to Qin Tianjian's affairs?
Mo Shaoheng suppressed his laughter, he was embarrassed for King Yan, what a bad excuse.
Mo Shaoheng coughed, "How is your mother's silkworm breeding? I heard from my mother on the road just now that it's already quite hot."
Speaking of this, Tianfei then diverted her attention, "Don't underestimate these little silkworms, raising them is actually not as easy as raising children. For several nights, I worried about getting up in the middle of the night to check..."
Taking advantage of this conversation, Mo Shaoheng said, "Just take me to have a look. After all, there is only one box of silkworm eggs, so there is nothing wrong with it."
Tianfei then took the people to the silkworm house.
Although there is only one box of silkworm eggs, silkworm eggs are much smaller than sesame seeds.
After hatching, not only Zhuxia Palace, but also several palaces around were freed up to raise silkworms.
Of course, this amount is still insignificant for the entire Beiliang.
Mo Shaoheng looked around, and his ears were filled with the sound of silkworms nibbling on mulberry leaves. He heard it all, and it actually sounded good after he got used to it.
One by one, silkworm babies, still white in color, crawled in special dustpans, everywhere.
Mo Shaoheng looked at the mulberry leaves that were specially picked by people. Beiliang mostly used mulberry hemp to make hemp clothes, so there was no shortage of mulberry leaves.
One or two reminders, "Mulberry leaves must not be exposed to any dew, and they must be checked repeatedly before feeding."
The moisture needed by silkworms is obtained through the mulberry leaves themselves, without dew.
On the contrary, a little dew can flood silkworms to death.
I also looked at the environment such as ventilation and quietness.
They are all doing well, and they are doing it neatly according to the sericulture manual he wrote before.
After the inspection, he explained a few more words about the maid who raised silkworms, and then left.
After leaving Zhuxia Palace, Mo Shaoheng felt a pair of sharp eyes staring at his back.
Such as a thorn back.
Mo Shaoheng ran away, not forgetting to remind while running, "Anyway... you promised not to annul the engagement."
Amitabha, it's a sin, and those who urge marriage should go to King Yan. It's King Yan who begs Bailai and refuses to divorce, and he has nothing to do with him.
sin sin.
Zhao Di snorted coldly, "He ran pretty fast."
This temperament has not changed at all.
Then, he also had some headaches.
How can I find such an excuse? It stands to reason that the engagement should be terminated, but when Mo Shaoheng said that he didn't want to terminate the engagement, his brain got heated, and he agreed without thinking about the consequences.
Great bitterness and deep hatred.
At this time, Mo Shaoheng was going to Bird Clothes Lane in a carriage.
I was still thinking in my heart, Zhao Di said that he doubled his property in an instant, how could it be possible?
Even a business genius like him can't do it. Their land deeds in Liangjing are very valuable. Even though his location is not the most prosperous, each shop is worth a lot of money.
Driving into Bird Clothes Lane, I don't know if it was the reason for the staff dinner yesterday to promote their products. At this time, there are more people on the street than before.
Mo Shaoheng saw two half-grown children standing on tiptoe in front of the ice cream shop, raising the copper coins in their hands high, "Ice cream sundae, thank you."
Now their ice cream shop has some new tricks. In addition to the old popsicles and ice buckets, they have added fruit ice cream with fruits and goat milk to make torched ice cream.
Whether it is a commoner or aristocrat, there will always be a choice that suits them. Although Mo Shaoheng thinks that the most thirst-quenching is the old popsicle, of course the old popsicle is the least profitable.
There were also people buying in front of the steamed stuffed bun shop and braised meat shop, and there were actually people eating noodles in the noodle shop.
On the street, there is also a cloth banner with "Chuan Chuan" written on it.
Zhao Jingcheng, Nan Yi, etc. are at the door of the Chuan Chuan shop.
Zhao Jingcheng: "Nan Yi, I invite you to eat skewers, how about going to Dongshi to see the businessmen from Dongtang after eating?"
Along with the Dongtang grain transportation team, there are also Dongtang merchants.
Nan Yi: "..."
Invite him to eat?
He always brushed his face while eating in Bird Clothes Lane, and the young master said that if he kept talking, the shop would be shut down by him.
Zhao Jingcheng continued, "I heard that among the merchants of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, there are also many merchants from other regions. , some people have golden hair..."
Nan Yi replied, "The dark-skinned ones are merchants from Negrito, the curly-haired ones are mostly from Arabia, and the blonde-haired ones are Persian merchants."
He used to let the young master take him out of the palace to sneak a peek at the foreign merchants in Lidu, that's what the young master told him.
Zhao Jingcheng and others: "..."
What the hell?
At this time, Mo Shaoheng walked up, Zhao Yuning and Fan Shen were still carrying their big suitcases, and they jumped up from time to time, "The setting sun is hanging upside down."
From time to time, I can still hear, "The wind is crying in my ears, I am listening to the wailing of prey..."
"The assassin in the dark, crushing everything with strength..."
Wait for a similar sound.
Wherever you go and wherever you go, the return rate is 100%.
Guaranteed to blow up an entire street.
Mo Shaoheng looked at Zhao Jingcheng's armor and the big shield in his hand, and asked, "Aren't you hot?"
Zhao Jingcheng shook his head.
Today, when he went to the Imperial College, he wore this outfit. The students of the Imperial College screamed when they saw him, although he was reprimanded by his master, and he was not allowed to do this in the Imperial College.
He came to Wuyi Lane, and he still had to wear enough clothes.
Mo Shaoheng asked again, "Isn't Mr. Zhishan's class today? Why did you escape?"
Mr. Zhishan did not resign from class, but was told by the sacrificial wine.
Speaking of this, Zhao Jingcheng felt a little embarrassed, "Today, Mr. Zhishan... was mad at me again, so we went out
