After his inner voice was read, the little cannon fodder became the darling of the world

Nangong Yunxue's face darkened slightly.

“At that time, several people sitting next to us were talking about a few businessmen.

It was said that those merchants felt that the workshops opened by the government made the same products as theirs, which affected their business..."

[Everyone does business based on their own abilities. Just because they have done something, should we not allow others to do it? This is a bit too overbearing.]

[The government also wanted to find a way for the children to make a living, but instead of trying to help them or open up sales channels in other places, they actually put obstacles in their way.]

[Humph, I will prevent them from doing anything bad!] Nangong Jiu waved his fist angrily.

Nangong Yunxue nodded: "We will deal with these people slowly.

Wait a minute, your uncle Hao and I are going to visit a few noble families and ask them to help us think of a solution."

[Thank you, mother and uncle! I will go visit those workshops now.]

"Well, Jiuer, be careful."

[Got it! What about the aunts? ]

Nangong Yunxue shouted to the sky: "A Bing!"

Ah Bing appeared: "Miss, Princess, Ah Yu and the others are downstairs, ask for the address of the workshop."

Nangong Jiu waved his hand, rode Xiao Wang, and took A Bing out the door.

The group quickly found the workshop.

Nangong Jiu looked at the rows of houses in front of him and said, "Xiao Wang, tell the aunts to go in first with two people. Let's go to the door and see if we can get in."

Ayu and Ajie followed the order and slipped into the workshop.

Xiao Wang turned into a crutch and led Nangong Jiu to the workshop door. Xiao Xing turned into a beggar of five or six years old and followed. A Bing and A Qing protected him in stealth.

At the entrance of the workshop.

An uncle who was guarding the door stopped Nangong Jiu and Xiaoxing.

"Little kid, this is a workshop and you can't just go in. Go to the charity hall. There's food and a place to sleep."

Xiaoxing hurried forward and greeted him: "Uncle, can you let us in to take a look, just one look."

“No, if I let you in, the person in charge will blame me.

Besides, the children are busy doing things right now, and you will disturb them if you go there."

“How many people are working in this workshop?”

"There are nearly three hundred children."

"Oh, are the kids having a hard time?"

The uncle smiled and said, "Why is it so hard? I earn money with my own hands, and I have food and shelter. The children are happy and motivated."

“Are the products you make easy to sell?”

"Damn it, I get angry just talking about this!

The candles that the children worked so hard to make are all piled up in the warehouse. I heard that other companies in the same industry have taken away their business, and the manager is worried about this matter. "

"How many workshops like this do we have?"

“There’s only one who makes candles, and there are twelve who make other things, and they’re all in much the same situation.

Two days ago, County Magistrate Zhang came to see me, and his mouth was covered with blisters.

Oh, it's so difficult. There are eight charity halls in the city, and more than 2,000 children need food. These working children work hard for a month just to get some wages."

Xiao Xing hurriedly said: "Uncle, let us go in and take a look, maybe we can help."

The uncle looked at Xiaoxing and Nangong Jiu.

"Little kids, you should just go to the charity hall. It's already very difficult for everyone, don't make things worse."

Nangong Jiu and Xiaoxing had no choice but to leave the door.

Nangong Jiu was furious and cursed with his fist raised.

Damn profiteer!

I will close their businesses, make them beggars, and let them experience what it feels like to beg for a living!

Xiaoxing wiped the sweat off his forehead.

If the empress gets angry, those people will be in trouble.

After an incense stick of time, A-Yu and the other man came back to report.

“Princess, there are indeed about three hundred children in their teens working inside, making candles.

There was a room that was probably a storeroom, and it was filled with ready-made candles.”

Nangong Jiu stretched out his hand: "Xiao Wang, let the aunts take me in to have a look."

Ah Bing picked up Nangong Jiu and flew into the workshop. Xiao Xing turned into a small broom and flew back to Nangong Jiu's waist.

After another half an incense stick of time, Nangong Jiu came out of the workshop with satisfaction.

He took out two red envelopes from his small pocket and took out a silver note worth five hundred taels and another one worth one thousand taels.

"Xiao Wang, ask Auntie to buy all the candles in the storeroom."

Xiao Wang was surprised: "Your Majesty, why did you buy so many candles?"

"Yes, the general's mansion uses a lot of candles every year. The palace and the mansions of so many court officials also use a lot of candles."

"It's a good idea, but this place is so far from the capital, wouldn't the cost of shipping it back be a bit high?"

"Who said we're going to ship it? I'll just put it in my pocket and deal with the backlog of goods in their warehouse first."

Humph, I don’t believe that I can’t defeat those unscrupulous businessmen.

Ah Bing took two banknotes and went to find the gatekeeper.

After a while, he came out with a silver note to report.

"Princess, it has been done. There are 500,000 candles in the storehouse. According to the highest market price of one cent per candle, the total cost is 500 taels of silver.

Please keep this silver note for one thousand taels.

When the children heard that a big buyer had come and bought all the candles at a high price, they were so happy that it was like New Year's Day, and they jumped and laughed.

I will go find a suitable place and ask them to transport the candles there."

Nangong Jiu was so happy that he jumped twice on the ground, but he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Xiao Wang smiled and quickly lifted the person up.

"Your Majesty, it was my fault that I didn't support you well!"

"Okay, tell the aunts to leave Ah Bing to find a place to receive the goods, and we will go look for other places."

The Zhang family in the city.

Liu Hao and Nangong Yunxue took a carriage to the Zhang family's door and handed over a visiting card.

The concierge hurried off to report.

Nangong Yunxue looked at Liu Hao nervously: "Will they be unwilling to see us?"

"The Zhang family of Gong County is a branch of a minister's family, and their main business for generations is business.

I have revealed our identities, so they have to give me some face.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the head of the Zhang family hurried out to greet him.

"I, Zhang Rengui, greet Your Highness and meet Madam Xue!"

Liu Hao smiled and helped Zhang Rengui up: "Boss Zhang, please forgive me for disturbing you!"

"Your Highness is too polite. Your and Madam Xue's visit has brought honor to my humble abode. Please come in and have a chat!"

Liu Hao happily agreed and took Nangong Yunxue with Zhang Rengui into the mansion.

The flower hall in the mansion.

Madam Zhang ordered the servants: "Hurry, hurry, the distinguished guest is coming!

Take out the best tea leaves and brew them, and take out the cakes that the master brought back from the capital yesterday and put them on the table.

Oh, and there are fruits, pick the best ones, wash them and put them on the table..."

As soon as everything was ready, Zhang Rengui led Liu Hao and the other man to the flower hall.

"I pay my respects to Your Highness, and to Madam Xue!"

Nangong Yunxue took a few quick steps and helped Madam Zhang up: "Excuse me for disturbing you, Madam!"

"Madam Xue, you are too polite! My humble abode is so simple. I am sorry to have embarrassed Your Highness and Madam. Please take a seat!"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Liu Hao got straight to the point.

"To be honest with you, Boss Zhang, we came to visit you today because we want to ask for your help..."
