This story starts from when Lin Yuxin passed by our carriage just now.
When Lin Yuxin was about to go to the city gate, she passed by a carriage and stopped. She thought it was a pity that these officials came here but did not do anything.
So several officials were called over, and except for Liu Hongbo who had heatstroke, the others got in the carriage willingly.
"Princess, we haven't even entered the city yet! Why did the princess ask the officials to come?"
Wang Feng bowed and asked with a hint of jealousy in his tone.
Lin Yuxin ignored him and looked at everyone, smiling:
"My Lords, since the Emperor has asked you to come here with me to solve the problem, why don't you do whatever you want?"
"My Lord, you are joking. We haven't even entered the city yet, how can we do any work?"
Lu Feng asked doubtfully.
This princess must have stayed in her room for too long. She must be aware of the reality! Did she still think she was here for fun?
"Lord Lu is right. We haven't entered the city yet. Now the front is blocked by the disaster victims. The soldiers at the city gate will not let us in for no reason. So the lords have no choice but to let me take your advice!"
Lin Yuxin smiled playfully and humbly asked the adults for advice.
"This... just reveal your identity and go in?"
Shao Chongshan asked after understanding.
"I didn't expect that you gentlemen are so naive. Why don't you go and try it? See if the officials will let you in, and if the common people will let you in?"
Lin Yuxin looked at the adults with amusement, thinking that the emperor's officials were all brainless, which was why the emperor was often angry and had a headache.
It seems that this is how the emperor's headache came about in the original book?
"Princess, what do you mean? Please tell me clearly!"
Wang Feng looked at Lin Yuxin and his eyes changed. Then he bowed and asked Lin Yuxin.
"Ha! I didn't expect that there would be a sensible person among the people who came here this time!"
Lin Yuxin's smile disappeared and she looked at Wang Feng coldly.
[This person is too deep-minded and too simple! It seems that he should be more careful! ]
"My Lord, what do you mean?"
Lu Feng was delighted. Was the princess trying to get around the idea of calling these people idiots?
"Lord Lu, if you are in such a hurry, come calmly. What I mean is that since the emperor has sent you here, we can't be blocked by this door. As long as you cooperate with me, I will let you in."
Lin Yuxin also stopped beating around the bush and directly told them her purpose of looking for them. As long as these people didn't make trouble, she would let them in.
She hasn't found out who they are yet, and she's afraid they'll stab her in the back. If she gets stabbed back before she even enters the door, wouldn't that be a failure?
So the scene just happened.
…
The official looked at me and Lu Feng, then looked at the people behind us and asked:
"Who are you?"
"Oh, they are all servants in my family. They often go out with my father to do business, so they have some experience."
Lin Yuxin blinked and started to make up stories.
Wang Feng and others: …?
Princess, you should listen to what you are saying? We are high officials, but we are your servants?
"Okay, ten taels each!"
The official was relieved to see that they were just some merchants. He thought that these merchants must have money. This was another profit, and he was secretly delighted.
"We are the ones who gave the official position, but we have more people. Do you know that there is no discount? There is no way to reduce it?"
Lin Yuxin looked like she was ready to negotiate.
"How much?"
The official glanced at Lin Yuxin and wondered, how many people can this merchant bring? It's just a dozen or so, a few less is fine.
"About a hundred people!"
Lin Yuxin said with a proud expression.
"How much did you say?"
The official looked at Lin Yuxin in shock, his heart tensed. About a hundred people? They must be ordinary businessmen, right?
My Lord has already said that we should observe carefully and make sure that there is no one from the capital, otherwise we might be imperial messengers.
"There are about a hundred people. The main reason is that my father has loved me since I was a child. He was afraid that I would be wronged on the road, so he brought so many people to protect me. In addition, my father gave me money and was afraid that I would be robbed on the road. So many people give me a sense of security! Just tell me, sir, how much money does it cost to bring so many people?"
Lin Yuxin saw that the official was suspicious and hurriedly explained.
Gu Qing: …Princess, I have no money, but my pockets are cleaner than my face!!!
The official obviously didn't believe it, but if the people went in, it would be a large sum of silver, ten taels per person, and one hundred taels of silver. The official would definitely be happy.
Tempted by the huge sum of money, the official did not ask any further questions and simply said:
"Sure. If you want to go in, just pay one or two taels of silver and we'll take care of the change."
[One ounce of silver? The lion is really generous, and he even gave her a small change? It seems that if she doesn't have more than a hundred people, she will have to get more than a hundred people. How much of a loss is that? ]
"Haha, sure! Dad, pay the money quickly!"
Lin Yuxin said while looking at Gu Qing with a smile.
"Princess, I have no money as an official!"
Gu Qing was anxious, why did he really give it to him?
"If you don't have any, do we have any? Can we find it if we just put our bodies together?"
Lin Yuxin lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.
[I have to make you bleed, and let you say bad things about me all the way. Do you think I know? Humph! ! ]
"I am dead!"
"I don't have any either!"
"I don't have any either!"
Several adults admitted that they were rich.
"Okay! Since the adults all support my work, then we will all stay here. Once the drought is resolved, we will return to the capital. Once we return to the capital, we can enter the gate of Jebuk City."
"Ah! So we have to sleep on the street? Oh, it's okay for me, really. I grew up in the countryside, so living in the wild is a piece of cake. I just don't know if some adults can adapt."
"It's so hot today and there's no water. It's hard to eat, and there's no water to take a shower."
Lin Yuxin said it with great emotion, and finally sniffed at a few adults and continued:
"Oh, the adults are all spoiled! Wash them again and they will be marinated!"
At the end of her speech, Lin Yuxin fanned her nose with her hand, with a disgusted expression.
Lin Yuxin's words made the adults dare to speak out in anger, their faces flushed, and they were filled with anger, feeling suffocated because they all felt that the princess was right.
Since we have been sent here, we may just do everything and then go back. If the princess goes back and complains to us, we won't even have anywhere to cry.
Why did you ask the princess to pay for it? After all, the princess was the main person in charge this time, and she was just an imperial errand boy!
Don't even think about it. She's just a lady from a noble family. How capable can she be? She can talk a lot here, but if you really want to deal with serious matters, can you still count on a woman?
When the emperor comes to blame us, he will just say that we are a group of men and we still expect women to do things?
So along the way, several adults thought that Lin Yuxin was just a decoration.
But now I feel so upset, because we have to pay this money!
