Chapter 476: Meeting Concubine Xian By Chance
The Emperor of Chu asked: "So don't they say that they are worried that the court will affect their interests?"
Xu Qing said: "People are selfish, so Your Majesty must not say that the state ownership of the land was proposed by the ministers."
The Emperor of Chu looked at Xu Qing, sighed and said: "You have solved my urgent need, but you have hidden your fame and won't be rewarded. It really makes me feel uneasy."
These words moved Xu Qing very much, it's still the emperor's righteousness!
Unlike his brother, he can take whatever is cheap.
Feeling uneasy?
nonexistent!
The virtuous king always felt that what he wanted was too little.
Moreover, King Xian changed his name casually.
Grenades and grenades are such nice names, and they are worthy of their names.
He actually changed his name to Zhentianlei?
no vision!
Xu Qing cupped hands said: "If your Majesty insists on rewarding, it is better to reward the tenants of the Fengzhou without paying the rent they rent for two years. The Fengzhou is mountainous and there is little land available for cultivation. The disaster was particularly serious last year. The common people They are suffering, and if they can reduce their rent for two years, their lives will be greatly improved."
After hearing this, the Emperor Chu couldn't help laughing and said: "As expected of the Anding County Marquis of my Great Chu, I always think about my people of Great Chu. If all the courtiers are like you, my Great Chu will have unified the Central Plains and wiped out the four barbarians."
Xu Qing heard this and corrected: "Your Majesty, the minister is the county uncle, not the county marquis."
The Emperor of Chu said: "Didn't you take the imperial decree? After you go back, you will be. Since you are so concerned about the people of Fengzhou, I can't be left behind. I will order to reduce or exempt the people in the severely affected areas of Fengzhou for two years. .”
Hearing this, Xu Qing cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise, it's just...the treasury is empty now, can we afford it?"
Chu Huang said: "What are you talking about? It's a bit empty now. Isn't Zhou Guo already declared war on us, Great Chu? After defeating Zhou Guo, we will naturally have money."
Xu Qing: "..."
Zhou Guo is not declaring war, this is sending money!
It turns out that money really makes money.
As long as enough start-up funds are collected for King Xian, he can ask Zhou Guo for a bunch of money.
...
The Emperor of Chu watched Xu Qing resign and walk out of the imperial study, and shouted, "Wei Zhong."
Eunuch Wei walked in with Duster in hand, bowed and said, "Your Majesty."
The Emperor of Chu said: "Go and order the Imperial Academy to draw up an edict to reduce or exempt the state's taxes for two years. By the way, it must be clearly stated in the edict. This time, it is Xu Qing, the Marquis of Anding County, who is begging me to reduce or exempt taxes. Let's go." .”
Eunuch Wei led the decree and said: "This old slave obeys the decree."
After Wei Zhong went out, Emperor Chu put the imperial seal into the box, and murmured: "It is inconvenient for me to give you a reward this time, so let me win a good name for you."
...
Xu Qing couldn't help sighing when he came out of the palace.
The people in the palace are always so careless every time.
Every time they only know how to send themselves to the palace in a carriage, haven't they considered that they will actually go home after the interview?
Alas, I had to go to the National Chamber of Commerce and get a car to take me back.
Just as Xu Qing was walking towards the State Chamber of Commerce, he saw a graceful and luxurious beautiful woman walking towards him.
Xu Qing hastily cupped hands and said: "I have seen..."
The oncoming Concubine Xian interrupted Xu Qing with a smile on her face: "There are many people here, so there is no need to salute."
Xu Qing said: "Why is the princess free?"
Concubine Xian said: "I am also worried about one thing."
Out of politeness, Xu Qing asked: "I don't know what the princess is worried about? Maybe I can help."
Princess Xian laughed when she heard Xu Qing's words: "I have heard from the lord that you are resourceful and thoughtful. It is like this. After seven days, the queen will invite the famous ladies in Beijing to participate in the palace party. The queen is the mother of a country." , in front of many celebrities in Beijing, there should be some etiquette, so I came out to pick a gift for the queen, but I don't know what gift to choose, do you have any good ideas?"
Xu Qing thought for a while and said, "The State Commercial Institute still has a few glazed objects, which are quite suitable as gifts."
"Oh?" Concubine Xian asked in surprise, "I thought that the colored glaze kept by the royal family of Chu State had already been sold out at the colored glaze appreciation meeting, but I didn't expect that there is still colored glaze in the National Chamber of Commerce?"
Xu Qing nodded and said: "Indeed, there are still a few delicate glazed ornaments. I just want to go to the State Chamber of Commerce. If the princess needs it, I will send it to you later."
Concubine Xian said: "I also happen to have nothing to do, come out for a walk, let's go there together."
Xu Qing stretched out her hand and said falsely: "Princess, please."
...
Concubine Xian walked in front, and Xu Qing walked beside Concubine Xian, but for some reason, Xu Qing always felt an inexplicable sense of tension when facing Concubine Xian, an old fox who had never felt this way before.
Walking on the road, Concubine Xian asked: "Xue'er hasn't caused any trouble for you in Uncle Anding's mansion these days, right?"
Xu Qing shook her head and said: "The princess is very obedient and has never caused any trouble.",
Concubine Xian smiled and said: "You can see this girl. She is very stubborn when she is in the mansion on weekdays. The prince and I have nothing to do with her. I heard that she smashed her with the imperial seal a few days ago." It's a bit outrageous to eat walnuts."
Although Concubine Xian's words were outrageous, she had a doting smile on her face, showing no dissatisfaction.
Xu Qing said: "Although the princess is a bit naughty on weekdays, she still has a good understanding of the general situation and is a quick learner. The princess has helped my ministers a lot and also... taught them a lot."
Having said that, Xu Qing couldn't help but rubbed his scarred arm.
This little girl always likes to grab her own hand during competitions, not only likes to grab, but also likes to pinch...
It made Xu Qing miserable.
A set of skillful grappling techniques made Xu Qing miserable.
...
Xu Qing walked into the State Chamber of Commerce while chatting with Princess Xian.
Then Xu Qing led Concubine Xian all the way to a side room in the principal's courtyard and said, "Return to Concubine, all the glazed utensils in the State Commercial Academy are here, Concubine to see if there is anything you are satisfied with .”
Concubine Xian walked in and saw the small boxes inside, she was surprised and said: "These colored glazes look more exquisite than the ones exhibited at the colored glaze exhibition last time, these must be of great value, right?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "Returning to the princess, the National Chamber of Commerce has invented a method to make colored glaze at a very low cost, but it is only to maintain the value of colored glaze, so the princess can feel free to choose at will. "
Concubine Xian was surprised and said: "There is such a thing? Then I have to make a good choice."
Before the colored glass was flooded, this thing was still very valuable.
Xu Qing did not follow Princess Xian into the house, but retreated outside the door and waited at the door.
At this moment, Xiao Ruxue walked in from the gate of the small courtyard, and was a little surprised to see Xu Qing who was facing a door with his back on his back. Then, with a smirk on his face, he quietly approached Xu Qing's back, tiptoeing gently Standing on tiptoe, he stretched out two small cold hands to cover Xu Qing's eyes from behind, and pressed his whole body against Xu Qing's back.
At this moment, Concubine Xian came out from the house...
