"Do you really have a way to get food? Are you kidding?"
Rongwei was still a little worried. After all, if the drought in the north were to be exposed, the price of food would surely skyrocket.
How many people in this world don’t like money?
Even if she really has connections, it is not certain that the other party will give up the great opportunity to make money and choose to accept her friendship.
Qu Li nodded confidently.
Rongwei twirled his beard and didn't speak for a long time.
After getting to know this girl, he felt that Qu Li was indeed a good girl.
"Okay, I will go to the palace early tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, King Zhongshan!"
"As for the silver you mentioned, even if the emperor disagrees, I will first give you the money from the palace! Or I can ask the emperor to write an IOU."
"Qu Li would like to thank the prince for his love for the people." She stood up and bowed to him respectfully.
Rong Yehua is indeed ambitious and eager for quick success, but Rong Wei is indeed upright and wholeheartedly serves the people, the king and the country!
Rong Wei smiled and nodded: "After this matter is resolved, this king will also give you a big gift!"
Qu Li was not curious about what this gift was. After all, it was up to her to accept it or not.
After discussing this matter, she left.
Taji glanced at Rong Wei, who was twirling his beard and looking at his slender but straight back, and whispered, "The prince seems to like Qu Li very much?"
"Seeing is believing!"
The atmosphere at the morning court was depressing.
All the court officials dared not breathe, for fear that Emperor Kang would get angry.
After all, even a good cook cannot cook without rice!
Not to mention the current shortage of silver, even if there was silver, it might not be possible to get so much food in a short period of time.
Just at this moment, Rong Wei stepped forward with a dignified and steady step, "Your Majesty, I have a way to get food!"
The court officials who were scowling all looked at him as if they had seen a savior.
Kangdi's eyes, which were bloodshot from staying up late, were now gleaming with a bright light.
"Didn't you say last night that this was difficult?"
"Your Majesty, I went back last night and sent a message. I contacted an old friend! She has food."
He was not deceiving the king, it was just that Qu Li disguised himself and came to him last night.
Moreover, she did give him a plan.
All the civil and military officials in the court were discussing this matter in low voices. For a moment, the court became a vegetable market.
Although the quarrel gave Kangdi a headache, he felt much more relaxed at the moment.
If Rongwei could really help him solve the food problem, the disaster in the north and the riots of the victims could be resolved quickly.
He was not sure what Nan Qi's current attitude was.
It feels like there is a sharp knife hanging over your head, and no one knows when it will fall.
Xiao Rui and Xiao Ci looked at Rong Wei with calculating expressions.
This King of Zhongshan actually has such a wealthy friend in the capital?
They felt somewhat uneasy, thinking that Xiao Xian marrying Rong Yehua would simply make him even more powerful.
When they caught a glimpse of the smile on Kangdi's face that he couldn't hide, they felt like they were being scratched by cats and bitten by dogs.
Xiao Xian also looked at Rong Wei deeply.
He heard that Qian Jiuzhao had come to the capital. Could it be that the friend he was talking about was Qian Jiuzhao?
In recent years, Qian Jiuzhao has been elusive. Everyone hopes to have a relationship with this God of Wealth, but no one can find him.
How did King Zhongshan find him?
No, it’s about how the King of Zhongshan, who has always been a vassal, is related to Qian Jiuzhao, who has always been elusive!
Meeting Xiao Xian's scrutinizing gaze, Rong Wei narrowed his eyes, suppressed all the emotions in his heart, and said to Emperor Kang: "Your Majesty, it's just that this old friend of mine also needs money to make ends meet. After all, even the grain store doesn't store a lot of grain."
Kangdi nodded, but he didn't doubt anything.
Yesterday he had asked the Minister of Revenue to go back and calculate the silver in the national treasury and his private treasury as soon as possible. As long as it could solve the disaster in the north, it could be taken out.
"Your Majesty, is this old friend that the King of Zhongshan mentioned reliable?"
A court official was worried and stepped forward to report.
Rong Wei glared with his tiger eyes, and a cramped and terrifying aura emanated from his body. The civil official was immediately frightened out of his wits.
He swallowed nervously and almost put his head into his belt.
"What does Lord Liao mean? Do you think I'm taking advantage of the national crisis to profit from it?"
"King Zhongshan, don't be angry."
The men and women of the vassal states are much taller than those of the Central Plains, and their facial features are more three-dimensional, making them seem difficult to mess with.
Rongwei snorted twice, but didn't say much.
Lord Liao quickly explained, "Your Majesty, I simply feel that even if this person truly has connections, there's no guarantee that the grain merchants won't hoard grain and drive up prices after learning of this."
This kind of thing happened in the previous dynasty. When there was a flood in the south, many experienced grain merchants stockpiled grain in advance, and the price was ridiculously high.
Rong Wei clasped his hands together and said, "Your Majesty, I guarantee it with my own life!"
Emperor Kang held the armrest of the dragon throne and thought seriously for a while before saying, "I believe that the King of Zhongshan is loyal to Da Gan!"
Rongwei was about to kneel down immediately. After receiving his gaze, Eunuch Fu beside Kangdi hurried down and gave Rongwei a helping hand.
Before the morning court session, Emperor Kang was gloomy.
After the morning court session, he felt like he was full of energy.
After retiring from court, Xiao Rui and Xiao Ci both sent people to keep an eye on Rong Wei, trying to find out who the old friend he was talking about was.
However, even the secret guards in the two men's houses were no match for Qu Li, who had the cheating artifact of space.
Qu Lidu got the deposit and returned to the Shadow Pavilion. The secret guards from the two men's mansion were still waiting outside the inn with anxious eyes.
"This is the silver note I earned, please keep it in mind!"
When she returned, the deputy leader was frowning over this matter.
He even considered taking out his own private money to help Qu Li.
I don't ask her to beat Qian Jiuzhao, a draw would be fine.
When he suddenly heard Qu Li's words and saw the thick stack of banknotes on the table, the four words "unbelievable" were clearly written on his face.
"What's wrong?"
The deputy leader carefully examined the banknote and asked, "Really?"
Qu Li, who was drinking tea, had her eyebrows twisted into knots. "I don't have the ability to make fake banknotes! Besides, if you're caught forging banknotes, you'll be sentenced to exile or even death!"
"Then where did you get so many banknotes all at once?"
She went out twice, last night and tonight, and was able to get such a large sum of money. This Miss Qu is the real lucky fish that attracts wealth, right?
"I'll tell Qian Jiuzhao when I see him tomorrow. I'm a little tired, so I'm going to rest first!" After saying that, she yawned and prepared to go back to her room.
