Chapter 368 I need to investigate first
The old emperor was slow to give a promise, and Yu Jiuer was a little impatient, urging him: "Grand Emperor, are you going to agree or not? If you don't agree, I'm afraid you are destined to die under a cliff in this life, the Grand Emperor."
When Yu Jiuer said such outrageous words, even Jun Mo was scared and broke out in a cold sweat. He directly pulled her sleeve to signal her to stop talking in time.
The old emperor was so angry that his face turned red. He stood up quickly and raised his hand to slap her.
Yu Jiuer quickly stepped back, swallowed her saliva, and waved her hand at him: "Your Majesty, this is not right! It is not gentlemanly to fight when you can't win. If you have the guts, can you give a reason to refute it?"
"Hmph!" The old emperor shook his hand fiercely, turned his head and ignored her.
In his heart, he knew that what she said was right, but he just didn't want to be led by him like this! This little girl's tail is almost up to the sky, is there anyone who can control her?
Yu Jiuer made up her mind and threw out the bait: "If you agree, I will take you to the coast of the Western Region! There are still bright lights and lively nights there. I will put on makeup for you, and you can also stroll around the market there leisurely. No one will recognize that you are from the Great Dong Dynasty!"
The issue has been brought up today, how can she be content without an answer?
The old emperor sniffed, lowered his eyes and thought, and finally said: "This matter is extraordinary, I can't be impulsive! You speak so highly of Yinshan County and the coastal areas of the Western Regions, I must investigate it first!"
"Okay!" With his words, the matter was half done.
Jun Mo secretly gave Yu Jiuer a thumbs up, and Yu Jiuer raised her eyebrows at him: I am here, and I guarantee that I can deal with your father.
The next day, Yu Jiuer and Jun Mo accompanied the old emperor on a tour of Yinshan County.
From the waterwheel beside the field, to the novel dormitory building, the windmill in front of the dormitory building, to the faucet in the dormitory and the biogas used for cooking in the kitchen, all of them surprised the old emperor.
He was like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, constantly making exclamations and asking questions all the way.
Yu Jiuer and Jun Mo were by his side, explaining things to him patiently.
After entering the Yinshan Supermarket with a complete range of goods, the old emperor was so shocked that he couldn't bear to blink.
When he saw something delicious, he would take it non-stop. When his hands couldn't hold it all, he would give it to Yu Jiuer, Jun Mo, and the servants to help him take it.
He ate all the way without paying the money, without any awareness of the fact that he had to pay, and was not at all shy, like a starving ghost reincarnated.
Yu Jiuer never knew that the old emperor was also a foodie, even worse than the original owner. It was just that he was luckier, as he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and had never lacked food since childhood.
The supermarket staff couldn't help laughing when they saw how delicious it was, and they secretly covered their mouths and laughed when he couldn't see.
Yu Jiuer felt that she had lost all her face because of this "old thing". If she didn't need his help in matchmaking, she would never have let such a foodie into her supermarket!
He has no money, so in the end it is her husband who pays, right?
I'm getting ready to do something, but I'm very short of money, and I have to rely on this prodigal son who has no idea of the sufferings of the world. It's so annoying!
"Grandpa, we have to go to the factory to inspect it later, so please take less! We will have to pay for it!" Yu Jiuer finally couldn't help it and patiently advised him.
The old emperor asked innocently, "Aren't you the county magistrate? Isn't this your property? Do you still have to pay for it? Can't you just take it for free?"
Yu Jiuer rolled her eyes and said, "Old man, you are not a robber, please abide by the rules of the game! In Yinshan County, everyone who enters the supermarket must pay for something, there are no exceptions, this is the rule!"
It seems that this "old guy" thinks that the money is free and is trying hard to get it?
Should she take the trouble to teach him the rules?
What a shame!
When we arrived at the snail noodle factory, batches of dry rice noodles were drying outside and the workers inside were working in full swing to prepare the goods.
Before this, dry rice noodles had been transported to the capital by merchants' transport teams for sale. The old emperor had eaten it and did not think it was strange. However, due to limited conditions, the bagged snail noodles could not be preserved for too long. The farthest they were supplied was only to Liangzhou Prefecture and had never appeared in the capital.
The old emperor smelled the tempting aroma of the snail noodle soup and side dishes in the factory, his mouth was watering, and he clamored to eat it.
Yu Jiuer was well aware of the nature of a foodie. As long as she could please his stomach, the negotiation would be half successful. Yu Jiuer immediately ordered the factory director to cook him a bowl of snail noodles.
He ate with gusto and kept nodding in praise, which made Yu Jiuer very happy.
Next, they visited the soy sauce factory, fermented tofu factory, soap factory, down jacket factory, Gu wine processing factory and mirror factory. The old emperor's eyes became wider and wider. He didn't say anything, but Yu Jiuer knew from his expression that he was already convinced.
When the old emperor heard that the wine in the Gu wine processing factory all came from the Gu wine in the Miaojiang Witch Village, he was surprised and said in disbelief: "Yu Jiuer, you said that all these factories were opened by you, I believe it, but you can even get the Gu wine from this Witch Village to process it into your Yinshan Gu wine, this is impossible! Absolutely impossible!
You are so desperate for money that you are using the name of the Witch Village to sell fake goods, right?"
"Master, I can assure you with the reputation of my husband Jun Mo that this Gu wine is definitely not a fake!"
Yu Jiuer had reason to suspect that the old man framed her in this way because he wanted some Gu wine to drink!
Concubine Duan has already ignored him. Does he still want to establish one or two more concubines here and create some new life?
Think beautiful!
"You are so lucky after your trip to Miaojiang that you managed to rob people's ancestral Gu wine?" The old emperor suddenly felt that he had never understood his wife.
How could she be so outrageous?
Yu Jiuer didn't comment, shrugged and replied: "What's the difficulty?"
She is now the Holy Maiden of the Witch Village and she even has the recipe for Gu wine. If there were Gu worms in Yinshan County, she would have wanted to brew it using local ingredients!
At the mirror factory, the old emperor's face was full of disbelief when he saw the large mirrors in the mirror factory.
He even stood in front of the mirror and patted his face, saying conceitedly, "I have only seen small peep shows in the palace, and I never thought there would be such a large full-length mirror in the world that can reflect my handsome face so clearly!"
Yu Jiuer held back her laughter. His face was indeed good looking, but his potbelly was a flaw. At first glance, he looked like a bloated ball. How could he be handsome at all?
Jun Mo secretly squeezed her hand, hinting her not to expose it, and that he was still waiting for his father to contribute! How could he be upset?
Jun Mo could even compliment him against his will: "The old man is so beautiful, so enviable!"
It almost made Yu Jiuer vomit!
As he was looking in the mirror, the old emperor seemed to discover something magical in the mirror. He stared at the mirror, rubbed his eyes, and shouted in surprise: "General Fan, Fan Sheng?"
As he spoke, he moved closer to the mirror, and then he realized what was happening and turned around to approach the person behind him: "Aren't you Fan Sheng who was exiled to Yinshan? You are a prisoner, why are you here? And you are wearing worker's clothes?"
Fan Sheng, who had just come out of the toilet, was also shocked. He couldn't understand why the prince's adoptive father could recognize him?
There was no place to hide now.
Jun Mo waved his hand and told Fan Sheng to get out of the way quickly. Fortunately, most of the prisoners here had not seen their father for a long time or had never seen his father at all. Otherwise, if the emperor who had already been announced to have passed away appeared here, he would definitely be exposed.
My father has a sharp eye and an amazing memory. Anyone who has met him once can generally remember that Fan Sheng was the martial arts champion fifteen years ago. My father can recognize him at a glance.
Since she was discovered, Yu Jiuer simply stopped hiding it and boldly told the old emperor directly, so as to avoid having to continue to cover up for the prisoners to come to the county to work: "Yes, he is a prisoner from Xiguanying. I am recruiting a large number of prisoners to come to Yinshan County to help with the production! You... don't object, right?"
"You, you, you are so audacious. You dare to do such a heretical thing. Why don't you go to heaven? No wonder your Yinshan County can produce so many goods? It turns out that you secretly requisitioned prisoners? This is a heinous crime punishable by the death of nine generations of your clan. You are simply..."
The old emperor finally caught Yu Jiuer's trick, how could he be worthy of himself if he didn't make good use of it? He was so excited that he couldn't express it for a moment, but he still pretended to be angry and pointed at Yu Jiuer with a trembling finger and scolded her.
But he thought too much. Yu Jiuer didn't wait for him to finish and retorted righteously: "Old man, how can you have such a good life now without prisoners? There are only so many people in Yinshan County. What do you think they can do?
Moreover, my conscription of prisoners not only did not affect the construction of the Great Wall, but also made good use of manpower to develop Yinshan County, killing two birds with one stone! You should be thankful that we have developed this place so well for you to live comfortably!
You blame me like this, do you want to live in a dirty and barren place? "
These words forced the old emperor to swallow all the words he wanted to say to her.
When it comes to eloquence, he admits that Yu Jiuer is the best in the world!
