Jiang Qingqing looked much calmer when she came out of Prince Xiao's Mansion.
After returning to the palace, she ordered palace servants to send out the army with the equipment that Xiao Linting needed most, and the rest of the money and other things were sent directly to the Xiao Wang Mansion in the capital.
The matter of sending the emperor's uncle away from Kyoto quickly passed through Jiang Qingqing's life.
The affairs of Qi Town were gradually taken care of by her.
As Jiang Chen performed better and better in the court, he received attention and special training from the emperor.
The situation in the court changed almost all the time.
Some people who were good at taking advantage of the situation secretly bribed the palace servants to send all the flattering gifts to the Huaning Palace one by one. In the previous dynasty, some people gradually gained favor because of Jiang Chen, and there were quite a few mixed forces.
For a while, the teams in the court gradually became confused.
The eldest prince's Xu family and the second prince's maternal family of Concubine Zhao have always been observing from the sidelines. The third prince, Jiang Chen, has established his own faction in the court with his own abilities.
Fortunately, there is no chaos in the court at the moment.
With Jiang Qingqing's personal operation, Qi Town has taken shape and is even as prosperous as the inner city of Kyoto. In particular, an official road has been opened from the back of Kyoto, directly connecting to Qi Town, which was originally Ba Village.
As the business area of Kyoto expanded little by little, several shops were opened one after another on the road connecting Kyoto and Qi Town.
It took five years just for Qi Town to develop.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Qingqing grew from a five-year-old child to a ten-year-old girl.
The graceful girl has lost the fatness of her babyhood. Her cheeks are not too thin, and have a slightly protein-rich texture, making her look pure and lovely.
Her beautiful eyes no longer had the slightly swollen eyelids of her childhood. The perfect double eyelids made her eyes bright and beautiful. Under her straight nose bridge was a pair of rosy and plump lips.
"Your Highness, this is the relevant information from Lin'an Pavilion in Qi Town today."
Yan Luo carefully took out a yellow file and handed it to Jiang Qingqing.
The girl sat cross-legged on the Luohan Mountain, her long black hair casually tied up with a wooden hairpin, with a few tufts of hair falling loosely, creating a lazy temperament.
She was holding her chin, looking at the contents of the yellow file with boredom.
Lin'an Pavilion is the intelligence station she established in Qi Town.
To cultivate a person of one's own power in the court requires time and energy, and Jiang Qingqing cannot afford this time cost and does not want to spend it.
If the plan is fast, then she can only set up an intelligence bureau in a busy area. On the surface, it looks like a large entertainment venue, but in fact it is a place for her to collect relevant intelligence.
She flipped through the papers, reading some topics about families and residences in the capital, without even a second's pause. She just glanced at them and turned the page.
The rustling sound of turning pages suddenly stopped.
Jiang Qingqing's eyes fell on the first sentence on the page.
"The Xu family used the Lizhou treasury three days ago and is now changing the method of transferring it to the capital."
Why would you go to such great lengths to move money to the capital for no reason? Unless there was a huge need for expenditure recently, who would move a huge treasury for no reason?
"Have you followed up on this matter?" She pointed at the Xu family's name with her slender hand and raised her eyes to look at Yan Luo.
Yan Luo took a step forward, looked at the two words "Xu Family", and restrained his expression slightly.
"We are following up. We sent the silver shop to investigate the Xu family's expenses and sales in the past six months. There are currently no major personnel transfers or illnesses or injuries in the Xu family's main branch in Kyoto."
Jiang Qingqing subconsciously tapped the table with her other hand. After pondering for a while, she waved her hand.
"Let's keep the Xu family's matter under wraps and let Xiaoke follow up. I have other plans for you."
Apart from this one item, there is no other important information in the yellow file.
"In a few days, the palace will prepare for my coming-of-age ceremony. According to the arrangements for my birthday in previous years, the event will definitely be quite large. The more people there are, the more chaotic things will be. Lin'an Pavilion will prepare for a few large-scale events to make the scene more chaotic. You will take charge of this matter."
Jiang Qingqing spoke decisively and arranged Yan Luo's next tasks in an orderly manner.
Yan Luo nodded slightly and responded.
She came down from the Luohan Pavilion, stepped on her soft Luo shoes, and opened the wooden door.
At this moment, the noisy sound outside suddenly came into the house, breaking the quiet atmosphere.
Outside the door is a long corridor where people come and go, and a circular building. No matter which room door you stand at, you can always see the changes in the surrounding environment at a glance.
During the day, Lin'an Pavilion is a teahouse and a place for high-end entertainment.
There is a stage in the center of the first floor, where fashionable operas are often performed. The humming and humming sounds reach the second floor, but are soon cut off by the sounds of people shouting to buy tickets.
Obviously, the second floor is a place for dice rolling and it is also the place where money circulates the most, so there are often four or five servants wearing Lin'an Pavilion work clothes and carrying long sticks walking back and forth on patrol on the second floor.
Going up one floor from the second floor is the tea room. Although it is noisy outside, each tea room is made of high-quality wood to block out the noise. The room is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.
Jiang Qingqing was standing on the corridor on the third floor.
There was a specific room on the third floor of Lin'an Pavilion where she would rest when she had nothing to do and came to Lin'an Pavilion for inspection.
The girl was wearing a goose yellow long dress, and when she stepped out of the room, she put on a veil of the same color. With a wooden hairpin and long black hair, she was dressed simply and casually.
Her every move and gesture carries with her the grace of her own aura, as well as the laziness and generosity cultivated since childhood. These two auras on her surprisingly do not conflict or seem out of place.
Her unique temperament makes her stand out among the crowd.
"Pavilion Master."
The servants and maids who often passed by Jiang Qingqing carrying trays were full of admiration when they saw Jiang Qingqing, and even the words they spoke were involuntarily respectful.
Jiang Qingqing nodded slightly to greet everyone who called her Pavilion Master.
Yan Luo walked beside her and whispered in a low voice, "By the way, Mr. Lin has been in poor health recently. I'm afraid we need to find a new candidate for the shopkeeper on the first floor of Lin'an Pavilion."
The two people slowly came down the stairs and saw the noisy sound coming from the second floor.
Jiang Qingqing said softly: "The original candidates in the village, are there no other choices?"
In Lin'an Pavilion, whether it is the servant patrolling with a long stick, the maid walking back and forth with a tea tray delivering tea and fruit on the third floor, or the waiter greeting guests on the first floor, they are basically all the "left-behind villagers" who stayed in Ba Village.
Jiang Qingqing made full use of their talents, trained them, and let them work directly in the service industry.
Fortunately, they were proud that there had not been any accidents in Lin'an Pavilion in the past five years.
