Chapter 1201 Queen: Am I good to you?
But the next moment, the Minister of Works immediately knelt down and paid his respects.
But I was a little panicked.
It was inappropriate to discuss the two saints in private. I just said those words, which might have been heard by no one, but who knew that the Queen was right in front of me.
And why is the queen here?
Tian Gui was thinking about how unlucky he had been these days. Last time, Deputy Commander Yan was blocking people at the entrance of Chengtian Gate, and he went up to dissuade him, but was kicked. That kick still hurts. Who did he offend?
I was in a hurry to resolve this matter today, and encountered this kind of thing again.
It was like a person from the horizon suddenly appeared in front of us.
However, before Tian Gui's knees touched the ground, Su Changan stepped forward to support him: "Master Tian, you know what I am saying. I don't want you to kneel even in the palace, not to mention that we are outside the palace now and I am still wearing casual clothes."
Tian Gui looked at Su Changan with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, I am your servant."
Su Wenqing was in a good mood because he saw that the eldest girl had gained some weight compared to the days before when he went to Lingqi Pavilion. It was good that she was gaining weight.
So looking at Tian Gui's expression, he walked up to Tian Gui and joked, "Zilu, the atmosphere is like this, and you are also like this, so hurry up and cry, just like we just discussed. If you cry, the matter will be settled."
Zilu is Tian Gui's courtesy name.
When Tian Gui heard this, he immediately looked at Su Wenqing.
This little old man is so mean!
But even though he thought so, Tian Gui looked at Su Changan and said, "Your Majesty, I know my crime."
Su Changan glanced at Su Wenqing, who had a smile on his face, so he couldn't help but smile and looked at Tian Gui who had a frown on her face, "Sit down and talk first, it's a small matter, you don't have to be like this, and the reason why His Majesty didn't see you is because there's nothing to say about this matter. You're just thinking too much."
As he spoke, Su Changan helped Tian Gui to sit on the chair.
Then he looked at Su Wenqing and Su Zimu and bowed slightly.
Su Zimu was still dull, but looking at Su Changan, he seemed even duller today, as if something was wrong.
Tian Gui couldn't sit still any longer, so he stood up and looked at Su Changan: "Your Majesty, I just made a mistake and offended you."
Su Changan laughed and said, "Then both the old Grand Tutor Su and my father are guilty. Should I arrest them all? And I was outside and heard you talking about Your Majesty. I didn't stop you immediately, so I am also guilty. How about I go and call the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple to arrest them all?"
Tian Gui looked at Su Changan, speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
Su Changan waved his hand, helped Su Wenqing sit down and said, "This kind of thing doesn't matter. You're just taking it too seriously. Besides, I was the one who broke that place. Shouldn't I pay for it to be repaired? Even if I don't have money, Her Majesty does. It's only natural that she pays for me, but it's not her turn to use the Ministry of Works' money, so don't think about it. And since you're here too, there are a few things that require your help from the Ministry of Works."
Tian Gui looked at Su Changan and listened to his indifferent tone, especially at this moment when Su Liheng also ran back with the small box in his arms.
When it came to Tian Gui, the box was open, and one could tell at a glance that there were about two or three hundred taels of silver inside.
Su Changan said, "Your Majesty and I were inconsiderate and forgot to comfort the people. Although those stalls and shops were not completely destroyed, they were also affected. Moreover, the road construction over there will inevitably affect the business of merchants on both sides of Fangshi Street. I just realized this when I heard what you said, Lord Tian. This money, plus the money in the purse, will trouble you to distribute it to the people for me and Your Majesty."
Tian Gui heard this and looked at Su Changan: "My queen, this is too much."
Su Changan looked at Tian Gui and said, "If I can't do business for a day, I will earn less money. Besides, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. If I lose a cent, I will feel sick. Listen to me on this matter."
At this point, Su Changan looked at Tian Gui and smiled, "I have a narrow mind, and Lord Tian doesn't want me to tell His Majesty that you talked about me behind my back, right? Besides, if I cry now and His Majesty knows, it will be a bigger deal, and she has an even smaller mind."
Tian Gui knew that the Queen was teasing him.
Moreover, Tian Gui was actually used to hearing such words from the Empress. He was approachable and humorous. All the ministers in the court knew that this was why the Empress loved him so much.
Su Wenqing smiled and said, "Okay, Zilu, this is all because of what I just said to you about 'do you want to be scolded or not'. But since it has come to this, there is no need to be angry, just accept the money. If you don't want to accept it, just do as I say, when the atmosphere gets to this point, you sit on the ground and cry, the queen will be soft-hearted and see you crying, then the matter will be settled."
Tian Gui glanced at Old Master Su. It was fine at first, but after hearing what he said later, it was so bad!
But he also sighed in his heart. In fact, this was the only way to deal with it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent the whole night thinking about what to do.
I simply don't want Your Majesty and Your Majesty to pay for it. I just want them to live a luxurious life.
But at this point, Tian Gui looked at the Queen, then at Su Wenqing and Su Zimu, and bowed deeply to Su Changan: "Your Majesty, I obey your order."
Su Changan said, "Master Tian, please sit down first."
Then he looked at Su Liheng and said, "Liheng, come and sit down too."
After Su Liheng brought the box over, he stood at the door. Su Linhan and others were all at the door.
When I heard my elder sister say this, I was startled.
I?
Can you still sit down in such an occasion?
Oh, big sister, you are giving me so much face. The money is worth it.
As he said that, he ran over happily, grinned, saluted towards Tian Gui, and sat down in the seat below Tian Gui.
Su Changan looked at Su Liheng, and did not treat Tian Gui as an outsider. He said directly: "Liheng, there is a good thing, do you want to participate?"
Su Liheng's eyes lit up, "What!?"
Su Changan said: "Spend money."
Su Liheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at his grandfather and uncle, wondering if he had heard it wrong, spending money is a good thing?
It's so comfortable to keep that white money at home. I would feel so uncomfortable if I spend it.
Then he looked at Su Changan, pursed his lips and said something.
Su Changan got straight to the point: "Do you know about the martial arts competition this time?"
Su Liheng nodded.
Su Changan said: "I will provide the prizes and jackpots for this conference."
Su Liheng nodded again, a little curious about what this had to do with him.
But he was thinking about it, confused for a moment, and immediately looked at Su Changan: "Take it from Dianjiangchun?"
But after saying that, Su Liheng continued, "Sister, this is not good. The main attraction of Jianghu people is rouge, which is not right no matter how you think about it. Those female heroes are okay, but the men, right? It's not suitable."
Su Changan shook his head and said, "I already know what to give, but I don't have any money."
The three words "I have no money" made Tian Gui sigh in his heart.
The queen of a country said she had no money.
Su Liheng stood up, his butt was burning from this position, and took two steps back: "I don't have any money."
Su Changan said: "I don't want your money, but I want you to be a sponsor."
Su Liheng looked at Su Changan: "What is a sponsor?"
Su Wenqing and others on the side also looked at Su Changan curiously.
Su Changan said: "It means spending money to sponsor this martial arts competition, and then advertising in this martial arts competition. Of course, some prizes and so on, you have to provide them for free."
Su Liheng said with a bitter face: "This still requires me to spend money."
Su Changan said: "Sponsors don't spend money, but give you money to use for yourself."
Su Liheng was puzzled, "Isn't this also spending money?"
Su Changan waved his hand, and then continued: "The venue has been decided, Lord Tian knows this, but construction has not started yet. In addition, in my opinion, for such a banquet, snack stalls and so on should naturally be set up, so that the people can earn as much as they can. Of course, Dian Jiangchun and my doll business are included, so how can these stalls be missing? If you are the sponsor, the stall is naturally chosen by you. Think about it, if a young man and a female hero are walking together, and the female hero suddenly wants rouge, the young man will definitely have to spend money, right? At this time, the location of your stall is very important, and if you also organize some activities, right?"
Su Liheng nodded: "That's true, but sister, we don't need it. There's a long queue at the Tiantianer store now."
Su Changan said, "You don't want to release peripheral gift boxes. Don't you want to expand your target customer group? The moves of those seniors are so beautiful, don't you want to release some gift boxes of rouge or something? You, Sister Ruyu, have been so popular recently. How many people in the martial arts world admire this little fat girl? If you use her two knives as the names of the gift boxes, won't others buy them?"
Su Changan is speaking.
Su Liheng swallowed his saliva, took a few steps forward, and looked back at Yan Ruyu who was even more unhappy, then looked back at Su Changan: "Can it be done?"
Su Changan said: "Just go and talk to them. There will always be one or two people who will agree, right?"
Su Liheng pursed his lips and was moved.
Especially when I thought about the doll design I came up with after spending the whole night there, and compared it with a few words from my elder sister, it was just garbage!
Peripherals, peripherals, aren’t these Jianghu peripheral dolls even more awesome?
Tian Gui looked at Su Liheng. Although they had no contact, Tian Gui had heard of the fat boy's ability in business. Not only was Dian Jiangchun built to its current level by him and the Empress, but the fat boy also made bookstores, Wenzhai, restaurants, hot pot shops, silk shops, etc. all flourish. He even knew some shops. The fat boy took the initiative to give shares to Zhao Wuxiu and other frontier generals. The point was to make money together, especially knowing that Li Jiulang had never had a student in his life, but only accepted this fat boy.
Moreover, Tian Gui also heard from her daughter, who liked to wander around when she had nothing to do, that a girl from Raojiang escaped from her marriage and traveled thousands of miles to the capital to find the fourth young master of the Su family.
Now he looked at Su Liheng, and then glanced at the Queen.
What can I say?
Is it possible to make money this way?
No wonder Dianjiangchun can always come up with new things, it seems like all the ideas come from the Empress.
Su Changan continued to ask: "Do you want to make this money?"
Su Liheng nodded immediately.
Su Changan then asked: "Do you want to sponsor?"
Su Liheng nodded again.
Su Changan said, "But I don't want you to sponsor me anymore. I'll ask Li Jiulang and Mr. Tian to look for people from the big chambers of commerce in the capital, or big merchants like Third Uncle and his people."
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Linhan covered her mouth and laughed, but when she saw Su Qingning coming back with something in her hand, she looked surprised.
Wu Dameng blinked his eyes and said something.
Su Wenqing couldn't bear to look at his fat grandson.
But at the same time, looking at Su Changan, this is a good idea.
Tian Gui also suddenly wanted to slap his thigh.
Of course he knew about the martial arts competition among the martial arts practitioners. Although the details were not yet determined, based on what Lord Gao Rou and Li Jiulang had said to him yesterday, it was very likely that the Queen would ask the Ministry of Works to build an arena outside the city.
Tian Gui also asked someone to go and see the place that was drawn in the painting, and had already started to make preparations for the plan in advance.
Tian Gui had no objection to this matter which had only benefits and no harm.
But the imperial court provided convenience to the merchants and asked them to sponsor this martial arts competition. Why didn't he think of this?
After all, this conference will definitely cost a lot of money. Although it is a matter for people in the underworld, the imperial court cannot ignore it this time. For the money, Tian Gui wants to find Zhang Gu to discuss where to squeeze out some of it.
As a result, my lady...
Looking at Su Changan, Tian Gui felt a little bit of admiration.
How did you come up with this idea?
Su Liheng was a little anxious: "Sister, please don't, I can't be absent from this matter."
Su Changan said, "Aren't you reluctant to spend money?"
Su Liheng nodded immediately: "I am willing to give it up. I am really willing to give it up."
Su Changan said: "Forget it, I won't force you. You look so reluctant. Others will think I'm forcing you."
Su Liheng immediately said: "Are you forcing me? I'm begging you to let me sponsor you."
After saying that, he looked at Tian Gui and said, "Master Tian, I volunteer! I just want to spend money, I just want to contribute to this matter. No, it's sponsorship, I just want to be a sponsor."
Su Liheng just thought that the elder sister was targeting his wallet, but now he realized that she was not targeting his wallet at all.
Isn't this just giving yourself money?
No one outside knew about the sponsorship, but the eldest sister said it here for the first time.
Moreover, if such a Jianghu feast is really as the elder sister said, and we talk to those seniors, as long as a few of them agree, wouldn't this be the fame effect that the elder sister mentioned?
Moreover, the clients are all from the underworld, which is extremely important!
Although Su Liheng was anxious, when he looked at Su Changan, his eyes were filled with joy. Big sister is really good to me!
This is the first one I know.
Tian Gui looked at Su Liheng and knew in his heart that this was indeed a good thing for merchants who were willing to sponsor.
After all, there is gain in loss. You spend money and get something in return.
It's just like the raffles that are happening all over the streets now.
Especially since the shopkeeper Su with red lips has joined in, how could other merchants not get involved?
As for whether it is appropriate to let merchants participate in this martial arts competition, it depends on the degree.
It’s certainly okay to set up a stall, but it’s definitely not okay to put up a big sign, as it affects the visual experience.
As for this, Tian Gui knew that he had to find someone to discuss it with.
Su Changan looked at Su Liheng and said, "When your sister-in-law asks you later if you did it voluntarily,
Su Liheng immediately shouted: "I volunteer! I volunteer no matter who asks me!"
Su Changan nodded: "That's good."
Then he looked at Tian Gui and said, "Sir Tian, I'll have to trouble you to build roads and appease the people. The Jianghu Conference will also be handed over to the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Revenue and Li Xiang. You can talk to them about attracting sponsors."
Tian Gui stood up and said, "I will go to Zhuque Street to appease the people first, and then I will find Zhang Gu and Li Jiulang to discuss the sponsorship."
Tian Gui is a practical man and he starts doing things immediately when there is something to do.
Moreover, he now knew that it was not appropriate for him to stay when the Empress returned to the Su family, so he turned around and said goodbye and left.
After seeing Tian Gui off, Su Changan looked at Su Liheng, who had a very happy face and didn't know what to count with his fingers.
But I was about to say something.
"Sister, help me." Su Qingning's eyes were red, and she grabbed Su Changan's arm with tears on her face.
Su Changan looked at Su Qingning with a surprised look on his face: "Huh?"
…
PS: My schedule is messed up again, I have to start adjusting it again! Ah!!
