Chapter 41: Feeling that a large amount of money is beckoning to him

"No, no." Qu Fufeng shook his head repeatedly, ready to leave.

[The death row inmate did him a favor, so what is he going to do? ]

[If this guy has some free time, will he think about rebelling again? ]

Lu Li was puzzled.

When Lu Yanshi heard this, he felt that this was indeed the case. He thought that people should be put to good use and not be left idle.

"Wait, do you have any way to make money?"

Lu Yanshi thought that this guy came from the future and must know a lot of good things that Da Xia didn't have.

"Of course there is!" Speaking of this, Qu Fufeng was no longer sleepy.

When he first came here, he was thinking about making a big splash. But he had no research and development funds or space, so he had to give up.

Now when Lu Yanshi asked, he immediately spoke out with great interest.

"Glass?"

"Soap?"

"A safe?"

"Woodblock printing?"

"Cotton paper? Rice paper?"

"Foot-operated stripping machine?"

"Steam train?"

Listening to Qu Fufeng talking about things he had never seen before, Lu Yanshi's heart was moved. He felt that a large amount of money was beckoning to him.

"Stop, don't talk anymore. Can you make these things?" Lu Yanshi's eyes were full of passion.

Qu Fufeng smiled awkwardly: "No."

Seeing Lu Yanshi's face change, he hurriedly said: "I am not a god, so I can't know everything. As the saying goes, every profession has its own specialties. I can provide a general idea and let professionals do it."

"A big reward always brings out brave men. As long as the money is in place, there is nothing that cannot be done!"

Qu Fufeng spoke with great confidence, and Lu Yanshi pondered and felt that what he said made some sense.

It is not practical to put all the responsibility on Qu Fufeng alone.

But where should he find these people?

[Since the Prince Consort can be selected, these talents should also be selected through examinations, right? 】

[Daxia is so big, I don't believe that we can't find a few smart people. ]

Lu Li couldn't help but complain.

Lu Yan nodded subconsciously.

My daughter is right. There are so many talented people in Da Xia, and there must be capable people among the people.

Officials are selected through imperial examinations, so why can't these people be selected through imperial examinations?

"Go back and organize the materials and prepare a few test papers. I'll take a look first." Lu Yanshi gave the order.

"Yes." Qu Fufeng agreed with a tearful face.

He had given himself a lot of things to do.

No one told him that he would still have to work 996 after traveling through time.

The Great Xia Emperor was even more ruthless than his boss, trying to empty his mind every day. If he couldn't figure it out, his life would be in danger.

It’s so miserable. There was no labor protection law in ancient times. His life was in danger at any time. He wanted to go home.

Lu Yanshi was concerned about the war in Beiyong and didn't care about his expression at all. He waved and let him leave.

"I don't know how Concubine Shu and the others are doing now?"

Lu Yanshi deliberately asked out loud, wanting his daughter to use the melon-eating system to help him see the situation.

My daughter, this is updated in real time, which is much more useful than the urgent military reports that take 800 miles to arrive.

Unexpectedly, there was no movement for a long time. He looked down and found that the child had fallen asleep again.

He had no choice but to have Lu Li sent back to Weiyang Palace while he continued to handle his official duties.

Lu Yuan came to see her father and saw Cao Dehai carrying Lu Li out. She became more depressed.

Since she returned to the palace, there has not been a single day that her father did not hold Lu Li in his arms.

No princess, not even the prince, has ever received such treatment.

She was extremely jealous.

She went to see the eldest sister Lu Yao two days ago, hoping to continue to sow discord between her and Concubine Hui, but failed.

Lu Yao warned her meaningfully not to treat people as fools. She had inquired about it and found that the Empress and Concubine Hui had only met once or twice, so there was no way they had any enmity.

Lu Yuan suddenly felt a little upset, thinking that she had chosen the wrong person.

She only thought about how the Empress's family could deal with Concubine Hui, but she forgot about the second princess Lu Qi, born to Concubine De, and the second prince Lu Yan, born to the deceased Concubine Xie Gui.

Both of their mothers got into trouble because of Concubine Hui, so they are the ones who hate Concubine Hui and her daughter the most.

She put away her complicated thoughts and asked someone to go into the study to pass on the message.

"I want to see my father."

Lu Yanshi was busy, so he asked her to go into the hall and wait.

Lu Yuan was unwilling, but she could only pretend to be well-behaved and wait.

About half an hour later, Lu Yanshi finally finished his work.

Lu Yuan hurriedly took over Cao Dehai's job and took the initiative to pour tea for him.

Only then did Lu Yanshi remember that he had a daughter waiting for him.

"What brings you here?"

"Father, I will be fifteen in a few months. The guest of honor for the coming-of-age ceremony will naturally be the Empress Dowager, but I don't know who to invite as the ministers and sponsors." Lu Yuan pretended to be distressed.

Lu Yanshi suddenly felt a headache. It seemed that it was time to choose a queen.

Matters like this should be handled by the Queen.

"Just follow the procedures and let Concubine Xian help you." Lu Yanshi remembered that her biological mother had passed away, so she appointed Qu Zhiwei to do it for her.

Lu Yuan's smile froze on her face. She originally wanted to let Xia Shuying take charge of it, so that she could make more adjustments.

I didn’t expect that my father would directly designate Concubine Xian.

She could only smile and agree: "Thank you, Father."

"Is there anything else?" Lu Yanshi was a little confused when he saw that she didn't leave.

Lu Yuan said coquettishly: "After I reach the age of marriage, it is time to discuss marriage. When a consort is chosen, I will move out of the palace and live in the princess's residence, and I will have less time to accompany my father. I want to spend more time with you."

"Don't worry, no one will urge you to arrange a marriage. It's okay for you to choose a prince consort at the age of 17, just like your eldest sister. You don't have to stay by my side, just go and have fun." Lu Yanshi was thinking about the matter of choosing a queen, so he sent his daughter away.

Lu Yuan bit her lip and agreed, then left unwillingly.

Lu Li was still a baby and might cry for no reason, but her father didn't mind and let her stay with him.

Why can't she?

At this time, her resentment towards Lu Li deepened.

…

After Lu Yuan left, Lu Yanshi closed his eyes to rest, and asked Cao Dehai who had stood up: "Who do you think should be given the position of empress? Concubine Shu? Concubine Min? Concubine Xian? Or Concubine Hui?"

"I dare not make any rash comments on such an important matter." Cao Dehai was shocked. He couldn't just get involved in this matter.

Lu Yanshi started talking to himself.

"I thought before that Concubine Shu's family was too powerful and it wouldn't work. But now that the men of the Shen family have sacrificed their lives for the country, it's not a bad idea for her to be the empress."

"Min Fei's family is engaged in business. The world values ​​farmers over merchants, and merchants have a low status. It seems inappropriate for her to be the empress."

"Concubine Xian comes from an aristocratic family, and her grandfather is a great scholar in the literary world. It is legitimate for her to be the empress. But Qu Fufeng is a hidden danger. He has been restless to begin with. If he is given the position of empress, will he think of killing me and supporting the Qu family to take the throne?"

"And Concubine Hui..."
