A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman
Chapter 69: Conversation between the Emperor and His Ministers
Anyway, Li Jingchen probably knew about it, so he thought it would be better to be open and honest with others to avoid excessive suspicion that might affect future plans.
Because of the matter of the second princess, there was some estrangement between the emperor and his minister.
Later, the second princess became depressed, and the emperor and the empress were afraid that she would cause trouble again, so they quickly found a family with good traditions to marry her off.
Losing face for the royal family is a big deal.
Li Jingchen naturally sent people to inquire about Yu Zhenzhou's actions during this period. Knowing that what he said was true, he felt slightly relieved.
Yu Zhenzhou was in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops in the far northern frontier. The tiger talisman was always in his hand. He was also a world-famous god of war. Soldiers, generals and common people all loved him very much. Even the diligent emperor was inferior to them.
Although Yu Zhenzhou was a military general, he was very careful in his conduct and conduct, and was no less cunning than the civil officials. He knew when to advance and retreat, which was why the emperor had so many concerns.
"That's really my honor, dear." The emperor showed his love and care appropriately: "My dear, you have been alone these years, without any children or close friends around you. I am still thinking of finding a lover for you."
When Yang Lijun ran away, although the specific reason was unknown, the emperor knew that it was related to the second princess.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Yu Zhenzhou said seriously, "Even if I haven't found my wife yet, as long as I'm sure she's not alive, I will keep looking for her. And I don't plan to marry anyone else in this life."
This was not the first time Yu Zhenzhou had said this.
He just wanted to let the emperor know his persistence.
"My dear, you are a rare infatuated person in the world." Hearing this, the emperor did not care and asked again: "Why didn't the Duke's wife come back with you?"
"She likes rural life." Speaking of Yang Lijun, Yu Zhenzhou's tone was full of doting: "We both originally came from the mountains, and for her, she feels more comfortable in the countryside."
"My dear, do you also yearn for a life of leisure and freedom?"
“It’s quite good.”
The emperor and his minister changed the topic and chatted about some random things. Not long after, Yu Zhenzhou left the palace and returned to the Duke's Mansion.
The days passed peacefully, and only those who acted behind the scenes knew what was happening.
Tang Jide discovered something.
In the past few days, his subordinates told him that both the Song and Ge families sent people over, spent a lot of money to buy houses in North Street, and used a lot of connections to buy a shop each at a high price, as if they wanted to take root in Linhai Town.
After discussing, the two brothers felt that they might want to find out about fermented bean curd or the person behind it.
Tang Jide decided to respond to all changes by remaining unchanged.
Strangely, the Song and Ge families did not approach them, nor did they inquire about anything related to fermented bean curd. They just opened their shop and did business peacefully.
Leave them scratching their heads.
They didn't know what Yu Zhenzhou had done.
No matter what the Song and Ge families do, the first batch of fermented bean curd products can be put on the market.
Tang Jide took the servants who had been arranged in advance and the merchant caravan belonging to the Tang family to load the goods, which were to be transported to other states, counties and prefectures.
During this period, they bought many shops in various places, including existing restaurants, and taught the recipe of fermented bean curd to the chefs who signed the death contract.
Tang Jide shamelessly asked Huang Mulin for some fermented bean curd for the restaurant's chefs to try out. The feedback from the tasting was all positive, and they were all anxious about when they could have large quantities of fermented bean curd available.
The workshop was bustling with activity in moving the finished fermented bean curd products, and almost all the villagers came to watch.
Seeing the neatly dressed servants and caravans busy at work, and the long row of horse-drawn carriages filled with jars of fermented bean curd and shock-absorbing straw, some people's eyes became red.
The workshop and soybean field hired thirty or forty people from the village to work as long-term workers. They were all hardworking, friendly, and honest people in the village who did not cause trouble. None of them liked to be lazy or slack.
Huang Dachuan has been in the village for so many years, and he knows who is good and who is bad.
Those villagers who were recruited to work received a fixed salary every month, which was not only more than what they could earn working in the town, but also because it was close to home, it was convenient for them to take care of the elderly and children at home. They were very happy.
Tang Jide's arrival made them feel relieved.
Once the finished fermented bean curd is sold, they can continue to make more fermented bean curd. The work will not stop and they can keep receiving their wages.
Tang Qian also came over and was talking to Huang Mulin.
"The Song and Ge families have sent people to Linhai Town. They bought a house and a shop on North Street, but have not taken any other actions. Miss and her family should be careful."
He took the opportunity today to come here specially to remind the Huang family.
"Don't worry." Huang Mulin waved his hand: "Father has already taken care of it."
Yu Zhenzhou wrote letters to Yang Lijun every day to report what he had done, so they also knew what Yu Zhenzhou had done to the Song and Ge families.
"Duke?"
Tang Qian exclaimed in a low voice, and soon figured out the key.
But, what does it mean that the Song and Ge families still come to Linhai Town after being beaten?
He couldn't help but think about it.
It seems that I need to discuss this with Tang Jide when I go back later.
While people were busy moving the finished jars of fermented bean curd here, some villagers over there started shouting.
"Oh, Huang Bo is going to make a fortune. Can you show us some ways to make a fortune together?"
The person being talked about is Tan Ermao, a newcomer to the village.
His father originally brought him to Xiushan Village alone, and later married a widow in the village, reorganized his family, and settled down in Xiushan Village.
The widow also had her own children. She was neither nice nor bad to Qin Ermao. She did not lack food and clothing for him, but she did not show him too much care either.
Qin Ermao's father is a taciturn man who just works in the fields all day and doesn't pay much attention to him.
The ignored Qin Ermao gradually mixed with some of the low-class people in the village and now has become a gangster himself.
Qin Ermao's father and stepmother didn't like him, but they couldn't do anything about him since their son had grown up. Fortunately, he didn't do anything harmful.
Some people around him who were of similar character also joined in the fun.
"Yes! We are all from the same village, don't just think about yourself!"
Huang Dachuan naturally heard and saw the commotion here.
Huang Bo frowned and looked at Qin Ermao and the others. It was impossible to reason with such people, but it was also difficult to fall out with them.
The king of hell is easy to mess with, but the little devil is difficult to deal with.
"Qin Ermao! What nonsense are you talking about!?"
Huang Dachuan, however, could not indulge them.
"There are people in the village who are willing to work and have the ability to work. You can take a look for yourself."
He pointed to the villagers who were working at Huang Bo's house.
"Who didn't make money? Who didn't eat Huang Bo's food?"
"Who can you blame for not making money? You are lazy and cunning, who would dare to hire you to work?"
Huang Dachuan has a great deterrent effect on the entire Xiushan Village.
For a moment, no one dared to say a word.
"Hiroko, please inform me immediately of any work you have. I choose the people, and I always recommend them to do the work as long as they are diligent and conscientious. If you have any opinions, please tell me."
