Chapter 244: Fumanlou
Since they have a good relationship, they naturally have important matters to talk about, as well as gossip!
There are only a few important things coming back and forth, and it will take some time for there to be any improvement.
Jiang Shinian said: "When His Majesty gets angry, even I can't appease him. I'm afraid that Duhuo beside her will be annoyed to death by the officials below!"
"They keep shouting about reforming this and that, but they can't come up with any good ideas. If Your Majesty is anxious, I'm afraid he'll just give an order to kill them all!"
When Yun Fushang heard the word "Your Majesty", she became alert: "What is it about?"
"What else could it be? Since His Majesty refuses to take a concubine, we can only start with other things, such as taxation and corvée labor, or rebuilding the border. There are so many things to do!"
Jiang Shinian couldn't help but complain: "Your Majesty wishes she could only sleep three or four hours a day, and the rest of the time is spent meeting ministers and reviewing memorials. It's obvious that being a queen in this country is not that easy!"
These people are either from hidden powerful families or Nan Qiao's confidants, so they can naturally talk freely. If others hear these words and talk about the court and the king behind their backs, they will be in great trouble!
Yun Fushang frowned: "This matter is not so easy to do. If it weren't for Mr. Bai, whoever wants to be the queen can be the queen!"
"The Mr. Bai you are referring to is... Mr. Bai Ye?" Hua Qianshu pondered for a moment, "Mr. Bai Guannan? When I was in Wenshan Mohai, I had the honor of hearing Mr. Bai talk about the people's livelihood in Nanzhao. He said that in order to stabilize a country, the first thing to stabilize is the people's hearts!"
In the past, many people from other countries would often go to this place to debate and exchange their views on certain aspects. The great scholars and experts from various countries were invited to answer questions and solve problems for the audience at a certain time, or to have conversations and share their opinions.
Bai Ye is always the most outstanding among them. Others are more or less subjective and arbitrary, but Bai Ye is like a cold puppet. What he says is always to the point and extremely unique!
Obviously, it probably left an impression on Hua Qianshu as well!
The three-dynasty veteran of Nanzhao is indeed worthy of his reputation!
"I used to admire Mr. Bai's talent very much and wanted my parents to find a way to introduce me to him, but Mr. Bai refused!" Hua Qianshu smiled bitterly, "In fact, I also know that my talent is not good enough for a junior high school student. I think Mr. Bai only made a simple prediction and figured it out!"
Because Bai Ye is the Taifu, even though he is a man, he does not read people's faces and is arrogant to a certain extent. The Hua family can't do anything about Bai Ye, so they have to find a good teacher for Hua Qianshu again!
Yun Fushang said calmly: "Perhaps if you enter the government, you will be able to see Feng Yi, and then you may also admire the talent of Her Majesty the Lady!"
Her younger sister is, of course, even better than she is!
"Yes, I heard that the current emperor is Mr. Bai's student. Is this true or false?" Hua Qianshu asked with great interest. She was not uncomfortable that she was worse than others. In her opinion, as long as she became better than her original self day by day, it was enough!
Li Yunlin hesitated for a moment and said, "The one who can be considered as a disciple should be Shen Xueyan!"
"Shen Xueyan? Who is this?" Hua Qianshu heard a new name from other people from time to time and was very surprised. "She shouldn't be from Nanzhao, right?"
Yun Fushang did not forget to pick up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for herself, chewing it slowly, and said:
"Shen Xueyan is not from Nanzhao, but from Yuan. It can be said that he is the dream lover of all the women in Shangjing, Yuan!"
"Right, as you can imagine, this is a man with outstanding appearance, but his talent is even more outstanding than his appearance!" Li Yunlin said without exaggeration, "When I saw him at that time, I was still sighing. This Yuan Kingdom is indeed a place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Although it was established not long ago, it has many talented people!"
Yun Fushang shook her head: "Actually, if you look carefully, there are still a lot of humanoid scum, but you just didn't notice them!"
"Lord Li doesn't seem like the type to brag, but I'm really curious!" Hua Qianshu only visited a few more states and thought he had seen the world. It can only be said that one can never travel enough to see enough.
Jiang Shinian interrupted, "Let's eat first. The food is getting cold! Oh, by the way, Master Yun, I heard that you took in a servant?"
"What servant?" Yun Fushang tried to avoid the main point, "It's just because I need to solve some problems!"
Jiang Shinian was a little confused, and Li Yunlin quickly winked at her. Jiang Shinian accepted it and immediately skipped the topic:
"I'm planning to stay here for a few more days. I heard there will be fireworks to watch tomorrow. I'll watch them before I leave! It's only been a short while since I finished my last conversation and official duties. I still have about a month to talk to Mr. Dong from Yuan State. It's enough time for me to spend some money!"
Yun Fushang said nothing, but pointed out in a mysterious way: "Isn't it that all the expenses of the whole venue are paid by Lord Jiang?"
"Good fellow, you start to cheat your friends as soon as you get a glimpse of something. But it's okay. I've made a little money doing business these days, and I'm just worried about where to spend it!"
Jiang Shinian raised his eyebrows and chewed the pot-wrapped pork with sweet and sour sauce!
Li Yunlin couldn't help but sigh, "Master Jiang is really rich and powerful. I wonder who will be given the position of salt transport envoy and the lucrative position of tea, oil, grain and horse transport? Is there any news?"
Jiang Shinian thought about it carefully and found that he had no memory:
"I don't know yet. I'm afraid His Majesty hasn't issued any orders in this regard. In addition to these positions, the position of the transport envoy is still reserved. If you want to enjoy the beautiful scenery, this is a good job!"
Hua Qianshu asked: "The profit from this is enough to equal half of the national treasury, aren't you tempted?"
"As for the money, it's good as long as it's enough to spend. I have too many things on my hands. If I can't share them well, I'm afraid I will be too smart to handle them!" Jiang Shinian and the Jiang family are not greedy people. "Your Majesty can hand these things over to me, which is already very good. Please ask others to share the other things with Your Majesty!"
"When I'm in my 30s or 50s, I'll resign and become a courier, and I can go out and have fun!"
Yun Fushang laughed and scolded: "You are dreaming!"
"Who made me beautiful?" Several people laughed and there was no trace of the tense atmosphere just now!
Yun Fushang thought that these easy and lucrative jobs should be planned after the Yun family arrived. Salt, tea, oil and grain are the foundation of the country, and it is difficult to hand them over to outsiders who are unknown to them!
What's more, Grandpa started out as a salt transport agent, so it wouldn't be bad if he could get this official position now!
After a few people gave a general report on recent events, everyone became familiar with the situation.
"Hua Qianshu, how did you and Lord Yun know each other?"
