The general's wife is too naughty, she starts to flirt with him

"Xiao Chen originally wanted to learn from the person who brought him back from Yanzhou, but he refused." Tang Jiali explained, "You are the boss here, who else can I look for if not you?"

Don't think that she can't see that her cousin Shan Li seems to be the most powerful here, but she knows that her cousin also has to listen to Song Qingci.

Otherwise she wouldn't be still intact now.

Even if it's a pawn, it's a calculation. Now that it's delivered to my door, I'd rather take it!

The reason why my cousin avoided her was because he was afraid of her.

"Why do you think I won't refuse?" Song Qingci really felt that Tang Jiali had changed too much.

No, that's not right. Maybe it's not that she has changed too much, but that she has always been like this and was just pretending before.

"Because you still need me now." Tang Jiali stopped pretending and came clean.

"I still need to deliver the blueprints, and I still need your cooperation in acting."

Song Qingci choked.

Well, that is the case now.

She has already prepared the drawings, but they still need to be sent out through her hands.

Moreover, she has already prepared for the drama of discord. If Tang Jiali goes on strike now, it will be difficult to find someone to replace her.

"Okay! I'll find him a master! Just don't regret it!" Song Qingci gritted his teeth.

Oh, it feels really bad to be controlled by others.

Forget it, just bear with it!

Song Qingci looked at the small Tang Jiachen and said, "Boy! Don't regret it."

Tang Jiachen bowed very respectfully and said, "I will never regret it."

She has a very good temperament, but her injured right hand is very eye-catching.

Song Qingci asked someone to take Tang Jiachen to the martial arts arena and hand him over to Yin Xing.

Don't let him do anything else, just start with standing at attention.

After Tang Jiachen left, Song Qingci gave the prepared drawings to Tang Jiali.

''These are the blueprints you 'stole.''

"So many?" Tang Jiali originally thought there would be only one or two, but what she got was a full nine.

"What? Too many?" Song Qingci originally drew more than a dozen. But after thinking about it, too many would seem fake. And even if the Queen Mother got so many drawings, she might not have the materials to really make them one by one.

So, in the end, after her streamlining, nine were selected.

"It's not too much, it's not too much." Tang Jiali quickly put the blueprint into her sleeve pocket.

She just took a quick look and found that some of the drawings were divided into two volumes.

In this way, she can hand them over separately. In this way, she can ensure her own safety to the greatest extent.

"I've given you the things, so I don't need to teach you how to hand them over, right?"

"No, I know it myself." Tang Jiali refused.

"Also, cooperate with me in a play in two days. You know." "Things like alienating people are definitely not allowed in the room. It must be put outside and people can see it. This will help spread it.

Tang Jiali nodded.

She had not forgotten about this matter, and if Song Qingci didn't mention it, she was prepared to bring it up.

After finishing his business, Song Qingci directly drove Tang Jiali away.

She wanted to take a break, but just as she was about to lie down, Feng Er's voice sounded outside the door.

"Madam, Shen Mozhu wants to see you."

"You mean Shen Mozhu is here?"

''Yes. Only him.''

Song Qingci remembered that she had arranged everything before she left, but she had forgotten about Shen Mozhu.

Gently tapping his head, Song Qingci ordered, "Bring the person in."

There was no flower hall for receiving guests, but there was an unused side room. Shen Mozhu was brought to this side room by Feng Er.

When Shen Mozhu saw the person in front of him, he almost didn't recognize him.

He had never seen the young lady in a tight outfit before. Dressed neatly, she looked like a soldier going to war.

"What's wrong?" Song Qingci saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time and thought something was wrong.

"Oh. Hello, young lady." Shen Mozhu regained his composure and bowed.

"You came here this time, has the task I asked you to do been completed?" Song Qingci got straight to the point.

When she left the General's Mansion, she forgot to tell Shen Mozhu about it. She came to look for him now, so it could only be because of that incident.

Shen Mozhu took out the list from his bosom and said, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. I have checked all the people on this list."

Because of this matter, he has been having a very wonderful life recently.

He had even gone to the brothel three times, which he would never have visited before. He had finally checked all the people on the list.

"Among the people on the list, three are directly related to the Qiu family, and five are related to the Qiu family's in-laws. Among them, two have no relationship with the Qiu family at all, but they are from the same hometown as the staff of Prince Huai's mansion."

Shen Mozhu briefly recounted what he had found out. The specific circumstances were all written down in the register.

Song Qingci looked at the densely packed records, and his originally unhappy mood, which had been somewhat relieved by the fact that he took too long to complete the task, suddenly calmed down.

With so many things, it really takes time to verify them carefully.

"Well done." Song Qingci never hesitates to praise those who do well.

The emotional value is very full.

"I was right about you. Your five years are worth all my efforts."

Shen Mozhu just stood there without saying anything. He was still a little dazed. He used to think that he was a scholar with clean hands.

However, recently, he seemed to have re-acquainted himself.

He doesn't seem to be that bright and clear. To achieve his goals, he will also use some means.

"This matter ends here. I hope that this thing will only be available in one copy." "Praise is praise, but criticism should also be given when it is time to do so.

"That's natural." Shen Mozhu is very clear about his identity. There are some things he will never do.

"Does the young lady have anything else to tell you?" Shen Mozhu asked.

He was not naive enough to think that the five years Young Madam mentioned were just for him to do things occasionally. Instead of being told by others, it would be better for him to ask directly and proactively.

"Really?" Song Qingci stood up and pretended to get something from the cabinet, but in fact, she took out the things she had sorted out earlier from the space.

"What is this?" Shen Mozhu asked, looking at the thick stack of papers.

"I bought a street in the capital. It's still empty now, and I want you to help me run it." Song Qingci didn't beat around the bush and directly stated what she wanted Shen Mozhu to do.

That street had been vacant for a long time, and she really didn't have the time to deal with it.

Seeing that Shen Mozhu was good at his job, she thought of handing the matter over to him.

This was her private property, so she couldn't use people from the General's Mansion or Shan Li's people.

At present, she has too few people available, and Shen Mozhu can just fill this gap.

"Young Madam wants me to go into business?" Shen Mozhu was shocked!

Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans. Although merchants were not of low status, they were not much better off.

Although the noble families all have their own businesses, they do not act under the name of businessmen.

The young lady asked him to run the street business. Does that mean she wants him to do business seriously?

Song Qingci saw the confusion on Shen Mozhu's face, took a deep breath, and told himself to take it slow and not get angry.

This is the ancient times, an ancient time ruled by tradition and dregs.

"Do you think you can't do it, or do you just don't want to do it?" Song Qingci asked pointedly, leaving him no room for maneuver.

"I..." Shen Mozhu was speechless.

"In the eyes of you scholars, among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are the lowest. Deep down, do those who read the books of sages look down on merchants who buy and sell things?"

Shen Mozhu remained silent.

Although he did not look down on businessmen in his heart, he still found it difficult to accept the idea of ​​him doing business.

"What are you studying for?" Song Qingci changed his words.

This time Shen Mozhu did not remain silent. "Of course, it is for the purpose of becoming an official in the imperial court one day, and using what I have learned throughout my life to benefit Dachen and the people of Dachen."

This was an idea that had been deeply engraved in his mind since the day he was enlightened.

It has remained the same for ten years and has never changed.

"Well said." Song Qingci admires people with pure and lofty ideals. Although she herself is just a person who likes to play badly intermittently and has no great pursuit in life.

However, she never laughs at others who have ideals and ambitions.

It was because of people like them that she was able to live the way she wanted.

Because the light that those people pursued would shine on her one day. Therefore, she would not only not laugh at them, but also admire them very much.

"But have you ever thought about how to seek welfare for Dachen?"

"This..." Shen Mozhu lost his voice again.

He really hadn't thought about this carefully.

"Dachen is an agricultural country. People's food and clothing all come from the hard work of farmers. Therefore, after scholars, farmers are the most important. Not only you, at least more than 80% of the people in the entire Dachen country think so."

"So, the whole Dachen values ​​agriculture over commerce. However, I am curious, have you ever thought about how the crops grown by farmers with great efforts will be sold if there are no merchants?!"

"Without merchants buying and selling, how can the rice from the south reach the food-poor north? How can the furs used to keep out the cold in the north appear in the damp and cold south? The smoky and miasma-ridden areas in the southwest are not suitable for growing food, but they can produce precious medicinal materials. Although the southeast coast cannot contribute rice, it can provide various seafood. If there are no merchants, Mr. Shen, do you want the people to go to these places to exchange for the supplies they need?"

"What's more, the taxes paid by merchants account for half of the national treasury. What are national taxes used for? They are used to improve people's livelihood. With that money, His Majesty the Emperor has the confidence to govern the country."

"Merchants are never despised. With them, the products of the entire Dachen can appear relatively evenly where they should appear. With them, the people can enjoy the welfare of the country, and the soldiers can have food and military pay."

"Letting you run the business is also to let you adapt to and understand the business way in advance. This will also be beneficial to you in your future as an official. Only when you know the tricks and ways, you will be able to know how to deal with related matters in the future."

"As long as they are not the kind of black-hearted businessmen who do whatever it takes to gain profits, normal business is a good thing for the country and the people."

It was not just Dachen. In the feudal dynasties, all dynasties emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce.

However, since Song Qingci came to Dachen, she wanted to follow her own heart.

The most important thing is to make yourself comfortable.

Besides, who doesn’t like money!

Even those who talk about how lowly and despicable businessmen are all day long, there is not one who doesn't like money.

After hearing what Song Qingci said, Shen Mozhu was shocked.

He had never thought about doing business from this perspective. No, it can be said that he had never thought about business-related issues before.

Before, it could be said that he turned a deaf ear to the world outside and focused on reading the books of sages.

Now, after listening to what the young lady said, he felt a little ashamed.

Seeing that his expression had softened, Song Qingci took advantage of the situation and asked, "What? You still don't want to do business now?"

"No." Shen Mozhu shook his head. "Just follow the young lady's orders."

Very good, although Shen Mozhu reads the books of sages, he is not a pedantic person. As long as the reasons are sufficient and strong enough, it is relatively easy to convince him.

I am afraid of those pedants who have no skills and can only talk nonsense. It is extremely difficult to convince them.

Song Qingci was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to convince him.

If this is really the case, then she really won't be able to find a suitable person to help her run her street for a while.

"I have basically written down my ideas. Take it back and read it carefully. If you don't understand something, come and ask me." Song Qingci sorted out all the ideas that she combined with the characteristics of Dachen and modern times, and then improved them to make them more suitable for taking root in the land of Dachen.

"Yes." Shen Mozhu carefully put away these things.

"Here is a banknote of thirty thousand taels, keep it. I will leave this street to you. If it is not enough, you can tell me. However, I hope that all the accounts are open and transparent." The implication is that you should not make accounts casually to fool people.

"That's natural." Shen Mozhu never thought about doing anything on the books.

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation." Song Qingci took the initiative to extend his hand. Shen Mozhu was stunned for a long time and didn't react to what he was going to do.

It was Song Qingci who grabbed his hand and held it together.

''This is what win-win cooperation means.''

Finally, Song Qingci explained.
