Chapter 104 Snow in June
After coming out of the palace last night, no one questioned what Zhou Chang moved out of the palace.
They are just some small and worthless things.
If Fang She hadn't come to ask further questions, Emperor Lin should have known it long ago and wouldn't have said anything, so others would not have provoked him.
Zhou Chang "live-streamed and sold" things in the palace overnight, and as a result, not only did the number of orders not decrease, but there were dozens more, and the cumulative orders reached 200.
As for the commission, Xianyan System only earned 3,400 taels in total after deducting the loan interest.
However, I counted the silver bills I had collected from the palace for a long time and several times, but I still couldn't figure it out. I estimated that there were about 30,000 taels.
The next morning, Zhou Chang had a simple breakfast in his study, and then hesitantly looked at the bare walls on all sides.
As a rule, all of Prince Yi's money should have been given to Zhong Yu to manage.
But according to Prince Yi's memory, if this money was handed over to Zhong Yu, it would soon disappear without a trace.
If she didn't give it to him, firstly, she wouldn't be able to count it, and secondly, Zhong and this "creditor" would come to her house sooner or later.
Just as he was hesitating, one of the Duofu Duobao came in and reported: "Your Highness, Miss Yuan wants to see you."
"Please come in." Zhou Chang was bored and didn't know what to do.
"Yes." The two children agreed at the same time and ran out.
After a short while, Aunt Jing personally brought Yuan Qi and the steward He Xi in.
Yuan Qi was wearing a lotus pink dress with dark patterns today and a jade and gold hairpin on her head, looking fresh and neat.
Two months passed in a flash, and she finally returned to her appearance when Zhou Chang first met her, at least she had recovered the two pounds she had lost.
As soon as Yuan Qi came in, with a barely detectable panic on his face, he bowed with He Xi and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Yi."
Zhou Chang also gradually adapted to the identity of Prince Yi and developed a noble demeanor: "Miss Yuan, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat."
As they were talking, Duobao brought more tea. Aunt Jing poured the tea and placed it on the lame chair again.
As soon as Yuan Qi sat down, he spoke directly: "Your Highness Prince Yi, do you know that there was an urgent message from 800 miles away last night that it was snowing heavily in the north of Yue."
"Snowing?" Zhou Chang was surprised and stood up from his chair. "Snowing in June, is there any injustice here?"
Strictly speaking, Jindu City is close to the north, and we have just entered the hot summer season. How come no matter how far north we go, it shouldn't snow in June?
"It will take at least ten days for the news to arrive, but it has been snowing in northern Vietnam since early June. It is absolutely true." Yuan Qi Qiuhong's eyes were filled with worry. "If there is heavy snow on the front line in northern Vietnam, it will be extremely disadvantageous to our war against Lin Guo."
Zhou Chang also thought of the seriousness of the problem at the same time.
Yuan Qi continued, "I heard that at the morning court today, the ministers began to advocate a ceasefire and peace talks because of the heavy snow, and Your Majesty seemed to be wavering."
"No, Your Majesty should believe the calculation results..." Zhou Chang stopped talking halfway.
Yuan Qi didn't know about it, nor did he care. He was still worried: "Your Highness, if His Majesty finally decides to negotiate peace, the bet will be invalidated. Doesn't that mean my father's case will be upheld?"
Zhou Chang first calmed himself down: "This matter is still unknown. I will find a way to prevent this from happening."
You said you were going to think of a solution, but now my mind is like a wasteland, how can I think of a solution?
"Snow in June is unheard of." Yuan Qi looked sad, but could not hide his worry. "Not to mention Jindu, even in Beiji, it has never happened before. The world is so cold and indifferent. God must be so disappointed."
People’s hearts have changed?
Regardless of which dynasty or time and space, people seem to lament that people's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be.
Zhou Chang also shook his head, but then he remembered something and asked, "Miss Yuan, have you made any progress on the monopoly of the export of medicinal materials from the Mirage Nation that I mentioned before?"
It is safer to walk on two legs in everything.
Yuan Qi's eyes were filled with worry. "This matter is not going smoothly either. It seems someone is interfering. Uncle He, please tell me the details."
He Xi had been standing behind Yuan Qi and said, "Alas, according to calculations, snow in June means something strange has happened. We had already purchased a lot of medicinal herbs in Beiji City, but we found that some of them were traveling from the East China Sea. Later, we sent a letter to the guild halls in Shen Country, asking them to purchase them secretly, but we were told that the price of medicine in Shen Country had been driven up to the sky for some reason, and there was no supply on the market."
"What Manager He means is that maybe someone had anticipated this and was raising the price of medicine in the Mirage Country while transporting the herbs over by sea, preparing to sell them for a large sum of money?" Zhou Chang immediately followed his train of thought.
He Xi nodded.
Yuan Qi also spoke up: "I didn't feel anything before, but since my father's accident, these things have become particularly difficult to handle. Whether it's Jindu, Beiji City, or even the Shen Kingdom, we used to have business dealings with them for many years, but now they are all hesitant and delaying."
"This is quite normal. After all, we have to adapt to the changing circumstances." Zhou Chang felt that Yuan Qi was too impatient and it was inevitable that he would make mistakes in judgment.
Yuan Qi frowned and said, "I didn't feel it before, but I've experienced it myself since my father got into trouble this time. Those people usually took so much money from the Yuan family, but when my father got into trouble, they all avoided him as much as possible. Some people took a lot of protection money from the Yuan family in the past, but at the critical moment, they kicked the Yuan family away with one foot. What's worse, even if the Yuan family gave more money, they were just ridiculed. People's hearts are really colder than the weather."
Zhou Chang agreed with this and subconsciously thought of Prince Duan: "In the past, the Minister of Revenue Minhang was so loyal to Prince Duan. However, when Minhang got into trouble, Prince Duan quickly cut off his relationship with Minhang and kicked him away. Even if Miss Yuan met Prince Duan, he would not help you."
Yuan Qi said, "To be honest with you, Your Highness Prince Yi, I came here for another matter besides this one, which is related to Your Highness Prince Duan."
"What's the matter?" Zhou Chang was a little scared. He didn't know how to deal with the snow in June.
Yuan Qi pursed his lips and said, "Although it's snowing in the north of Yue, the weather in Jindu is starting to get hot. Since my father was imprisoned, I have only seen him twice in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Since the imperial decree came down, I have not been able to see him again."
"The court has indeed issued an order prohibiting us from meeting. However, I believe Miss Yuan has also paid with money, so is that not possible?" Zhou Chang recalled that day when he was in front of the Ministry of Justice and could not get in because he did not have money.
Yuan Qi bit his lip again and said, "Since the imperial decree came down, no matter if it was giving money or finding connections, or even just sending some daily necessities, those people were hesitant. After much investigation, I heard that it was Prince Duan who was behind it. It's hard to believe that I wanted to ask him for help in the first place, but I didn't expect..."
"Prince Duan? Why did he stop him?" Zhou Chang was puzzled. "There is no such thing as dirty words in the world. If you teach them too much in class, you will have all kinds of dirty words."
