Traveling Through the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: The Ming Zun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 577 If you don’t have money, beg Su Mengqing

Xiao Zhao said to Zhang Wuji at this time: "By the way, Master, Sister Su said before that if you have any difficulties, you can talk to her."

Hearing this, Zhang Wuji turned around and asked, "Oh? Xiao Zhao, when did she tell you?"

Xiao Zhao replied: "Before she left Yuzhou City to transport food. Looking at Sister Su's confident look, it seemed that everything was in her calculations, and she also expected that the young master would be short of money."

Zhang Wuji let out a long breath, and then said: "Zuan Wuyi Ce, what a terrible woman!"

Zhao Min said: "This is also what I appreciate about Sister Su. Although Sister Su is a woman, her ambition is better than that of a man. Although she and I are the same type of people, she has more goals than me."

Zhang Wuji asked: "Oh? After this period of time together, Minmin, who doesn't know how smart I am, has seen through what her goal is?"

Zhao Min looked at Zhang Wuji seriously and said, "You!"

"Me?" Zhang Wuji asked.

Zhao Min nodded and said: "Yes. 伱! If Sister Su has any utilitarian purpose, I don't see it. She helps you like this. I think she is probably attracted to you. I remember you before I said that you once saved their father and daughter in Nanyang Realm. I think she spent all her wealth to help you, probably because she took a fancy to you."

Xiao Zhao also said at this time: "I think so too. Sister Su is a very nice person, and she is also generous. She is a woman, and I can't tell if she has any other intentions. She seems to be doing all this. It’s the same as repaying the favor to the young master with all my heart.”

Zhang Wuji looked at the two of them and then said, "I didn't expect you all thought so."

Zhao Min spread his hands and said: "Otherwise? Then what is she trying to do to help you like this? Not to mention you Han people, even we Mongolians have no precedent for women to be high-ranking officials. It doesn't seem like she wants to be appointed as a general with you. Looks like. And I asked Zhiruo to find out about Sister Su’s family background. Although she was born into the richest man in Suzhou, she was an only daughter. Her father Su Bancheng had no other children. Obviously she didn’t look like someone who wanted to benefit the children of the family. Look."

Zhang Wuji said at this time: "It seems that I really judged a gentleman with a villain's heart. I originally thought that she approached me for the great benefit of the country. Now it seems that I have thought too much?"

But it’s not the fault of Xiao Zhao, Zhao Min, and Zhang Wuji for not being able to see it.

Although Su Mengqing had ulterior motives, her plans did not conflict with Zhang Wuji's interests.

Su Mengqing wanted to enter the palace and become a member of Zhang Wuji's side, and then make the Su family lose their identity as a low-class businessman.In this way, the Su family became relatives and their ancestors were honored.

From a businessman who was not even qualified for the imperial examination, he transformed into a hereditary nobleman.

No amount of money can buy such an edict.Therefore, in Su Mengqing's eyes, although she lost several million taels of silver and filled up the Su family's wealth, she still made a profit from this transaction.

Besides, with the status of a royal relative, money is not that important.

After that, all she had to do was to curry favor with Zhou Zhiruo and Xiao Zhao, the most favored sisters, and ask her father for a job in Jiangnan Weaving, Salt Road Yamen, or tea house.Even if the imperial court eats meat and he drinks some soup, that will be enough.

And Zhang Wuji needed military pay, food and grass for the Northern Expedition.As for where the military pay and food came from, as long as it was not obtained by bullying the common people, it didn't matter how it came from, he didn't care.

Because there is no conflict of interest, but mutual benefit, Su Mengqing's intentions are well hidden.

Zhang Wuji sighed and said: "If there is no other way, I really have to ask our 'God of Wealth' Sister Su. After all, it is always not good to attack Zhu Yuanzhang and the others first."

Zhao Min said: "It's really not good. Although the area occupied by Zhang Shicheng, Zhu Yuanzhang, Fang Guozhen, and Chen Youding is a prosperous place that produces salt, tea and other materials. But now our biggest problem is still my father. If we attack them first for money. If you do so, it will be detrimental to the great cause, and if the teacher is unknown, you will lose the hearts of the people."

Zhang Wuji hugged Xiao Zhao with one arm and Zhao Min with the other. He lay back and the three of them fell on the dragon bed together.Zhang Wuji kissed him on the left side and kissed him on the right side.Then he said: "Okay, let's discuss these things tomorrow. The two concubines must serve me well tonight."

Xiao Zhao shyly got into Zhang Wuji's arms at this time, while Zhao Min glanced at Zhang Wuji, and then shouted: "Damn ghost! Virtue!"

Early the next morning, Zhang Wuji held his first court meeting after returning.

At the court meeting, civil and military officials expressed their opinions.

Yang Xiao also proposed from a practical point of view that the Northern Expedition should not be carried out for the time being.Instead, the remaining money and grain were used to support Fu Youde and Ding Pulang in "supporting" Dali's southern expedition.

As for Li Siqi's Western Front battlefield, Zhang Wuji's Central Plains court is not needed to support it for the time being.With the capture of the pacification of Bashu and the military pay provided by Fan Yao, it was enough to cope with it for a while.

This grand meeting can be said to be "no money".After Zhang Wuji left the court, he did not return to the imperial study to handle official duties.There was no discussion with the ministers of the six ministries.

With Zhao Min here to handle official business, Zhang Wuji didn't have to worry too much.

What's more, Zhang Wuji is not in the mood to deal with any major national affairs now. He just wants to "make money". What's the use of just worrying? He has to take action.

Therefore, just after the court ended, Zhang Wuji didn't even change his clothes. After leaving the crown, he went directly to the harem to find Su Mengqing.

Although Su Mengqing has not agreed to marry Zhang Wuji, she still lives in the harem of Wuchang Palace with others.The same goes for Dai Qisi, Huo Jia, Hui Yue Shi and others.

And they are all women. Although it is unreasonable to live here, there is nothing to avoid.

Zhang Wuji inquired with the palace maid and went straight to Su Mengqing's room.

With the words "The Emperor has arrived".Everyone in the room looked outside the door.

Naturally, Zhang Wuji didn't need any announcement when he entered. Just when everyone turned around, Zhang Wuji was already standing in the room.

Zhang Wuji looked at everyone and said with some embarrassment: "Everyone is here!"

Huo Jia, Dai Qisi, Hui Yue Shi and Pasha were all in Su Mengqing's house.Have tea with her.

If Yang Buhui hadn't moved back to Yang Xiao's mansion, Yin Li and Yu Cui would have gone to the Royal Garden to play, and the girl in yellow didn't like to have contact with others.I'm afraid everyone will be here.

Pasha said: "Yes, Sister Su is explaining the tea culture of the Central Plains to us. I didn't expect that the Central Plains people drink tea and explain so much."

Huo Jia blinked her eyes with heterochromatic pupils, then looked at Su Mengqing. She stood up and said, "Okay, let's not be an eyesore here. Our Emperor didn't even change into court clothes and came directly to see her. Su Yatou is here. It seems there is something 'urgent', let's go to the Imperial Garden for a walk."

With that said, Huo Jia took Dai Qisi and three others to leave.

When he walked to Zhang Wuji's side, Huo Jia gently put a hand on Zhang Wuji's shoulder, then walked behind him, put his chin on Zhang Wuji's other shoulder, and said in his ear: "Your Majesty. Please pay attention to your health, otherwise, before I die, your muscles and bones will disappear in the land of gentleness."

After saying that, Huo Jia laughed wildly, and then left with a few people.
