My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 60 CPU Burned
Xu Qin said that he only needed to be an advisor, but Empress Xu looked at him in confusion.

"Aunt, I definitely can't be an official in the Weaving Bureau, but His Majesty wants me to be in charge and keep an eye on this matter. I can't not go either, so let's compromise.

If you have any questions about the Weaving Bureau, you can ask me and I will do my best to answer them. But when it comes to doing things, it is better to let the Weaving Bureau do it. Besides, aunt, if I go to the Weaving Bureau to be an official, then you will cheat me. "Xu Qin sat there, smiling and said to Empress Xu that he must first clear himself out.

"How could my aunt cheat you? My aunt's baby, you have already had enough time. However, my aunt still needs to discuss this consultant with His Majesty." Empress Xu was unsure. After all, what Xu Qin was going to do this time was very important.

"Aunt, the weaving bureau has no money. Now you have to borrow money to buy machines. So, after buying the machines, what about cotton? What about other things? If you want to sell goods to Japan, you need to prepare porcelain, tea, and all daily necessities. You can't do these without money. I estimate that at least three million taels are needed.

Aunt, does Your Majesty have this money? If not, what should the weaving bureau do? I know the weaving bureau can give credit, but going to sea is risky. If there is a storm, who will be responsible if something goes wrong?
This business is definitely profitable. Even if there are several storms a year, it will still make money. However, His Majesty has no money and he cannot afford to lose money.

So, aunt, if I go to the Weaving Bureau, I will have to consider the money issue, and also consider who will take the responsibility if I fail. Then I will be the one who will be in trouble. So, aunt, I will not go to the Weaving Bureau to be an official.

Besides, aunt, I am a commoner now. If I cause trouble, those officials cannot impeach me. But once I become an official, hehe, those people will not keep a close eye on me. "Xu Qin sat there and said to Queen Xu with a smile.

After hearing this, Xu Huizu smiled and nodded, thinking that his son was very smart and calm.

Empress Xu frowned, stood up and walked around the side room, but Xu Qin and Xu Huizu did not stand up. There were only family members here, not the empress.

Empress Xu walked away for a while and said to Xu Qin, "Bao'er, help your aunt. His Majesty has no money now, and we must find a way to pay for the first payment. Please help your aunt find a way."

"Ah? I'll find a way?" After hearing this, Xu Qin looked at Queen Xu in surprise.

"Well, auntie knows that this is difficult for you. Anyway, most of the first batch of goods will probably need to be bought on credit. Of course, the Weaving Bureau still has its own things, such as cloth and porcelain. There are also official kilns, which do not require cash. Tea is also official, so it does not require much money. But cloth does require money.

Of course, you said that you estimated that you would need three million. My aunt estimated that one million would be enough. It is mainly about cotton cloth. The Weaving Bureau needs to purchase cotton cloth so that the weavers can make a living. This is very important. "Empress Xu nodded, sat down next to Xu Qin, and said to Xu Qin.

"One million is enough? That's right! The court controls a lot of things, but since it's only one million, it's not a big problem!" Xu Qin smiled after hearing this.

"Well, the Weaving Bureau is not a clean government office!" Empress Xu immediately looked at Xu Qin with shining eyes.

"Sister, you can't let Baoer down!" Xu Huizu immediately stood up and said to Queen Xu.

"Dad, I'm not going to investigate. Besides, it's not my turn to investigate." Xu Qin looked at Xu Huizu and explained.

"Yungong, Baoer is helping me, your aunt, so you should keep quiet. Besides, I can still cheat my own nephew, so you are not allowed to say anything. I have agreed that my nephew can be a consultant. You shut up, otherwise, I will punish you." Empress Xu said while staring at Xu Huizu.

"Bao'er will offend people by doing this." Xu Huizu said helplessly to Queen Xu.

"So you just watch those eunuchs bully your elder sister? You're happy when they ride on your elder sister's head and shit on her. Not only can you not help her, but you also won't let Baoer help me?
Besides, some eunuchs, can they still turn the world upside down? Baoer cleans up those dirty hands and feet, who dares to say anything? It's settled, Baoer, the affairs of the Weaving Bureau are handed over to you, you wait for news from your aunt. "Empress Xu was in a good mood at the moment, and said to Xu Huizu and Xu Qin.

"Aunt, is there any misunderstanding here?" Xu Qin said while looking at Empress Xu. He just wanted to be an advisor and didn't think about dealing with those eunuchs and female officials?
Empress Xu took Xu Qin's hand and said to him, "Bao'er, you are my aunt's eldest nephew. You said that in the folks, if a married girl is bullied, does her natal family help and support her?"

"Yeah." Xu Qin nodded, but was still a little confused, or he didn't dare to think about it.

"That's it. You don't know, Bao'er, that during the past few years when my aunt was ill, she basically didn't manage the affairs of the Weaving Bureau. Although the Crown Princess would manage it, the eunuchs didn't take her seriously. After all, they knew that the Crown Princess didn't have that much time to investigate them.

So, Baoer, you take care of them for your aunt, you hear me, if you don't like anyone, you kill them for your aunt, why should you be afraid of them. "Empress Xu took Xu Qin's hand and said to him with a smile.

"Ah? Aunt, I didn't say to check. I'm just a consultant. Besides, I don't have the authority." Xu Qin shouted hurriedly.

"Aunt said you have it, so you have it! Just tell me, will you support my aunt? These people took my money and laughed at me for being incompetent. You are my nephew, can you stand by it?" Empress Xu said to Xu Qin with a smile.

"Aunt, please don't trick your nephew like this." Xu Qin said with tears in his eyes.

At this moment, Xu Huizu spoke instead, and said to Xu Qin: "Go check it out."

"Dad, are you confused? That's not what you said just now." Xu Qin didn't know if Xu Huizu had taken the wrong medicine. This was not what they had discussed before. He was only responsible for this overseas trade and didn't care about anything else.

"Your aunt was bullied, that's not okay. Especially when she was bullied by a eunuch, that's even more unacceptable." Xu Huizu said to Xu Qin. "You're sick, you just didn't let me go to the weaving bureau." Xu Qin couldn't help but complain, feeling very confused.

"Aren't you a consultant? You don't hold a position, and you don't receive a salary. Then you don't have to be afraid." Xu Huizu sat there, staring at Xu Qin and said.

Xu Qin touched his head and felt that his CPU was about to burn out.

Empress Xu smiled and said, "Your father has agreed, so let's just leave it at that."

Xu Qin looked up at the two of them.

Xu Huizu looked at Xu Qin and explained, "We don't allow you to work in the Weaving Bureau because our family has its own honor. If you work there, it would be an insult.

But you are a consultant now and you don't receive a salary. Moreover, if you go to investigate those eunuchs this time, it means that you are not from the Weaving Bureau. People outside will also think that you are placed in the Weaving Bureau by your aunt to monitor those eunuchs.

In addition, your aunt was deceived, which is not only a humiliation to your aunt, but also a humiliation to our family, so you have to find out. After all, when the people scold the eunuch of the Weaving Bureau, they will also scold your aunt. "

"This, Dad, this is also okay?" Xu Qin couldn't understand what the reason was. Xu Qin could only think that it might be the family honor.

"That's it, Bao'er. Auntie is counting on you now. Help me sort out the things. Don't worry, I'm telling you, you can kill whoever you want to kill, arrest whoever you want to arrest, and dismiss whoever you want to dismiss in the Weaving Bureau!

Auntie doesn't ask for reasons, and she doesn't need any. When the time comes, she will send someone to assist you. What she wants is that the materials for the first voyage can be fully prepared, and she also hopes that the water in the weaving bureau can be clearer. "Empress Xu said to Xu Qin with a smile.

"I, eh." Xu Qin never dreamed that he would go to the weaving bureau to deal with those eunuchs, and his father agreed.

"Well, the matter is finally resolved. Before my aunt came back, I was worried that your father would not agree." Empress Xu smiled and pointed at Xu Huizu and said to Xu Qin.

"Isn't that right? Aunt, are you still afraid of my father?" After hearing this, Xu Qin looked at Queen Xu in surprise.

"Why not be afraid? Your father is stubborn sometimes, and he can't be changed no matter how hard you try. He has been like this since he was young. He has to be beaten with a stick, but it's not appropriate to beat him with a stick when he's this old." Empress Xu said while looking at Xu Huizu.

"Sister, why do you say these things in front of the children?" Xu Huizu complained.

"Well, how is Li Jiujiang doing?" Empress Xu asked casually. Then she thought something was wrong. Xu Huizu hadn't gone out either, so she smiled and said, "You wouldn't know if I asked you. He is also under house arrest now. Bao'er, if you have time, go see him."

"I won't go. If I go, I don't know what my uncle will think of me. Aunt, please send someone else." Xu Qin refused immediately after hearing this. After hearing this, Xu Huizu nodded slightly.

"Sister, we really don't know anything about Li Jiujiang, and we dare not ask. You should ask someone else." Xu Huizu also said to Empress Xu that there was indeed no news after Li Jinglong was imprisoned.

"Let your wife go back and take a look." Queen Xu said.

After hearing this, Xu Huizu said nothing. Xu Huizu's wife, Li, was Li Jinglong's cousin. To be precise, Li's father and Li Jinglong's father, Li Wenzhong, Duke of Cao, were cousins.

It was Li Wenzhong who acted as matchmaker and arranged for Li to marry Xu Huizu.

"She won't go. She said both families are in trouble and we shouldn't cause trouble." Xu Huizu said, shaking his head.

"It's not that serious. Let her go and have a look. I will explain it clearly to His Majesty when I go back. I grew up with you all holding hands. No matter how Your Majesty treats them, the love is still there." Queen Xu said while looking at Xu Huizu.

Xu Huizu nodded without saying anything.

"Aunt, do you want to check the weaving bureau?"

"Aunt is talking to your father about something. It's settled now. It's your turn. Don't refuse, or I'll beat you."

Xu Qin originally wanted to postpone it, but Empress Xu did not give him any chance.
