Chapter 171 Confession

So the price and time of selling this batch of grain must be considered carefully, and we can't rush it.

"Wait a day or two and see how the snow falls."

The money-making matter is settled, and there is no reason for Zhu Dingxing to suppress Zhu Yingyan's power at this time.

Just let Zhu Yingyan arrange it and wait.

After a night, when Zhu Dingxing woke up, he ran out to see the deep snow that Zhuang Ding stepped on but was not easy to pull out.

The snow was so deep, but the sky was still gray and there was no sign of clearing up.

Although the snowflakes in the sky were not as dense and large as last night, they were still falling sporadically.

Seeing this, Zhu Dingxing felt a little crazy.

It was snowing so heavily, and it hadn't stopped yet!

So the fortunes had turned, and this year it was their turn.

First, there was Zhu Xuntao, and now even Zhu Yingyan was behaving differently from ordinary people.

It was time for Zhu Dingxing to become rich.

When others saw the thick snow and the continuous snow, they all frowned. They

had to go to court early in the morning, and the cold weather was enough to make them tired, not to mention that the kang at home was not warm.

Now it was snowing heavily, and the snow kept falling, making their way to court even more difficult.

What was God trying to do?

Thinking of the disaster and troubles brought by the heavy snow, the officials' faces were long and they

could imagine how busy they would be in the near future and the prospect of being scolded by the emperor.

In order to make himself not appear so abrupt, when he met his colleagues, Zhu Dingxing put away all his smiles and

shook his head like others sighing.

The whole morning court today has been centered around the snow.

Other things that are not the most important will not be brought up at this time.

In short, with the emperor's advance deployment, the snow disaster is terrible, but the disaster will be under control.

Not a penny of the money the emperor has allocated is wasted.

Just as everyone expected, the snow fell continuously for three days.

The situation in the capital is so serious, and other places can only be more serious than the capital.

The memorials about the snow disaster from all parties were finally delivered to the emperor one by one.

After reading all the data, the emperor took a breath and handed them to the prince to read.

The prince read very quickly, eliminating those flattering words and focusing on every number.

Xiao Jingzhan sent Xiao Jingshen's learning experience to the prince every day, and the prince

naturally learned something every time he read it.

In this way, the prince's calculation ability cannot be compared with Zhu Xuntao and Xiao Jingshen, but it must be much better than the emperor.

So, after the prince finished reading it for a while, he even had a specific answer:

"Father, so far, a total of 36 people have died in the snowstorm, which is 73 fewer than the number of people who were frozen to death in previous years."

When talking about this set of data, the prince was so excited that he wrinkled his lips. The

number of people who died in the snowstorm was so much less than the number of people who were frozen to death in previous years. What kind of concept is this!

The emperor felt the prince's excitement, because he felt the same way.

These were all his subjects. This time, he did not let the people down and

finally protected them from surviving the snowstorm.

"Come here, draft an imperial decree. The princess of the Yongjing Marquis's mansion is as capable as any man. She has made great contributions to glass and is specially awarded the

rank of a third-rank lady and a reward of 1,000 taels of gold!" The emperor finally decided to give

Zhu Xuntao a fair name for glass. In addition to 30% of the profits, the honors he deserved should also be given to Zhu Xuntao.

The emperor knew that the number of people killed by the snowstorm this year was less than that of people frozen to death in previous years.

In addition to the advice of Master Mingdeng, the kang that Zhu Xuntao had people research and develop also played a great role.

The emperor also had a kang, which was extremely comfortable to sleep on. Zhu Xuntao played an indispensable

role in ensuring warmth throughout the cold winter by using firewood, which is so common and available to everyone

. He is the greatest contributor.

Zhu Xuntao, a young lady who is less than 20 years old, can have so many wonderful ideas in her head. The emperor expressed his approval of Zhu Xuntao.

Such a woman can be worthy of his most promising child.

"Father, is it only a third-rank lady?"

The prince felt that this rank was too unfair to Zhu Xuntao.

With Zhu Xuntao's current contribution, if she is not a first-rank lady, she should be a second-rank lady.

"What are you in a hurry for?"

The emperor scolded the prince:

"Jingzhan is still only the prince of the marquis's mansion. He has not been awarded a title and his official position is not high."

"I confer Zhu Xuntao the title of a third-rank lady. Counting it, she is just equal to Jingzhan."

If it is higher, to the second rank, wouldn't it mean that Zhu Xuntao will be suppressed by Xiao Jingzhan.

The emperor really likes Xiao Jingzhan, so naturally he doesn't want Xiao Jingzhan to bow down in front of Zhu Xuntao.

Zhu Xuntao can be a first-rank official if she wants, but she has to wait until Xiao Jingzhan comes up.

The prince: "..."

So, is Zhu Xuntao implicated by the useless Xiao Jingzhan?

In fact, the prince has evidence in his hand that can be used to request at least a second-rank official title for Zhu Xuntao,

but the prince, with his fists clenched, finally chose to let Zhu Xuntao suffer for a while.

At worst, he will find a chance to compensate Zhu Xuntao later. How could the prince reveal all the cards related to Zhu Xuntao to the emperor

before he was sure that the emperor could hear Zhu Xuntao's voice like himself and the people in the marquis' mansion ?

What if the emperor is different from the prince and cannot hear Zhu Xuntao's inner voice? If the prince tells this, it will only backfire,

harming both Zhu Xuntao and himself.

The prince is not ready to tell the emperor about Zhu Xuntao's inner voice for the time being, thinking that he will make plans after the emperor meets Zhu Xuntao.

But there is one person that the prince decided not to hide, because he needs her help.

"What?"

The queen was shocked. If it weren't for her years of self-cultivation, the cup in the queen's hand would have been smashed.

"You can actually hear Zhu Xuntao's inner voice? My prince, are you... okay?"

She knew that the recent snowfall was evil, not only did it not stop, but it also got bigger from time to time.

Seeing this situation, the queen could imagine how heavy the burden on the emperor and the prince was.

She herself was worried. Faced with such a situation, what should she, as the queen, do for the people of the world?

Well, after listening to what the prince said, the queen thought that the prince was hallucinating because of too much pressure.

If it was not an illusion, how could the prince say such a ridiculous and weird thing when hearing other people's thoughts.

The prince certainly knew how magical this matter was, and how unbelievable it was.

So before, the prince not only sent everyone out of the queen's bedroom, but also asked those people to stay away.

"Mother, you don't believe it, and I am not surprised."
