Chapter 338: Want to do something casual again

While Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were discussing Buddhism, Old Man Bi suddenly appeared.

Having caught the two of them off guard, Zhang Xiaobao sighed helplessly, "Grandpa Bi, where is the emperor going?"

"Jinyang, the emperor spent a lot of money on his trip. Can he not let him go?" Old man Bi began to object to the emperor again at this time, and he didn't know where he was standing.

"Grandpa Bi, how much money can I spend? Can I get this money? It's not far from Chang'an? Just go. Does the emperor have to stay in the capital and never go anywhere else for the rest of his life?"

Zhang Xiaobao was so worried. What a big deal. Jinyang is from Taiyuan, Shanxi, and it is not far from the capital. It is over. Why bother to stop him? It can’t be done if you stroll around.

When the leader has nothing to do, he will take a plane out for a walk and see the scenery in other places. He can only talk about something, probably that's the case. The main thing is that when he meets, he often cannot be as tough as if he doesn't meet.

Can Li Longji go around somewhere in his country? Then why are you still the emperor? Isn’t you feeling depressed when you live?

Wang Juan also had the same idea. Li Longji was dull in the capital, so he went out to have fun and relax next time to continue doing things. Why bother to restrict him? Isn’t it just to spend some money? It’s not too much. Is it not just that I am in a good mood, but the local people are also happy and are being valued?

So Wang Juan also agreed: "Grandpa Bi, I agree. We will pay the money. In the future, the emperor wants to go out and have a look. We will pay the same amount of money."

Old Man Bi didn't expect that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who were dedicated to the people, suddenly began to support the emperor's patrol. They were stunned and said, "That's not a matter of whether it's money or not. For example, Yang Guang, when he came out, he didn't spend money, but also made the people's lives sad. Build a canal."

"Grandpa Bi, we seem to be using the canal as well, and we will follow the construction. The people's problems are not a problem of money. He always eats the people's hearts when he arrives in a place, right? We can just give enough money, let alone Grandpa Bi, you only see the bad side, but not the good side.

For example, is it a bad thing for the Fengshan ceremony? Isn’t it just spending money, but it can deter the surrounding countries. Many times, many things can be exchanged for money. There is a saying that if you defeat others without fighting, the emperor of a country can also show the ability of the country if he goes out for nothing.

Grandpa Bi, this matter is decided. After a long walk, the emperor went to Mount Tai for the Fengshan Mountains, and the flowers disappeared all the way. We went out, just like Queen Wang and Concubine Hui. Who said that the words "you can't make money"? Grandpa Bi, I will tell you tonight about the matter between consumption and production relations."

Zhang Xiaobao strongly supports Li Longji to go out and play and see the places of his country. In this way, he can love his people and land more. The money is not spent in other countries. No matter how much he spends it, he will stay in his country in the end. Of course, if it is calculated as GDP, it will increase.

If it were someone who said this, Old Man Bi would never be convinced, but Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan said this. There is no need to doubt the ability of both of them, and they have never seen them suffer any losses.

Since they all support it, it seems that they are a little inadequate to say they are opposed.

After thinking about it, Old Man Bi asked Zhang Xiaobao: "Can you really make money? Will you make money back from the emperor's travel immediately?"

"No, Grandpa Bi, you can't do that kind of thing. I really want to make it back in one go. It's okay, but I can't come up with such an idea, and Juanjuan won't agree. That's really hurt. This is our own country, not someone else's."

Zhang Xiaobao rejected Old Man Bi's proposal. No, absolutely not. If you earn back the money you spent at one time, it is simple and you can do it easily, but can that be done?

Wang Juan also understood what Zhang Xiaobao meant, turning long-term returns into short-term will inevitably aggravate local capital flow. Sometimes it is not a good thing to transfer too quickly, so he said:

"Grandpa Bi, when he invests, it is actually divided into short-term returns and long-term returns. Xiaobao and I chose long-term, and they are all used in other countries in the short term. For us, the accumulation of money is not the circulation of money, but the improvement of productivity.

I really want to accelerate the circulation of money. How good is Xiaobao taking cash flow? Quick, it’s so fast. Xiaobao can turn a copper coin into ten copper coins to operate, but the people who are really hurt are the people of the Tang Dynasty, so Xiaobao said nothing, it’s not that he doesn’t know how to do it.”

"I think it's bad, that's fine, so let's listen to you. How could that Queen Wang and Concubine Wu Hui help you make money? Is it because you make money like this to develop productivity?"

Seeing that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan disagree with nothing, Old Man Bi knew that he could not keep up with the two of them, but knew that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had always done things by means of not harming the people of the Tang Dynasty. As for where they hurt, they still need to ask, of course it was Tubo and Japan.

The two places are still under Zhang Xiaobao's calculations, and they probably won't get better in the end. It depends on how Zhang Xiaobao is in a good mood. If it is better, they may let go a little. If it is not good, the two countries will be in trouble so that they can see the ruthlessness of this method.

After hearing Old Man Bi mention productivity, Zhang Xiaobao thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's a kind of thing. The money we make through the queen and concubine is not from ordinary people, but from rich people, or even from foreigners. Then Grandpa Bi, you will know."

Wang Juan continued: "In fact, not much of our family's money was saved. Until now, it is only 300,000 guan, and more of it is in circulation. 300,000 guan is a lot for others, and even a thousand families are in the life of a lifetime.

But for us, the money spent has not directly impacted finance. To be honest, Grandpa Bi, the return on this investment is too low for us, and a lot of money is spent on infrastructure.

If we had changed this country, we would never be like this. Wouldn’t we be careless if we had money but didn’t make money? When the daytime work was over, we would talk to our three grandpas about this relationship at night, and tell our three grandpas what will happen to Tubo this year and what will happen to Japan.”

"Let's go, stop talking. Since Xiaobao and Juanjuan support me, let them do it and write a letter to the court, saying that the money for the emperor's trip was paid by Xiaobao and Juanjuan." Seeing that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were not compromised at all in this matter, Old Man Yao pulled Old Man Bi back.

"Yes, we paid this money, I don't believe that the emperor is not enough to go around the place next to him for 300,000 guan." Zhang Xiaobao agreed.

As soon as the three old men left, Wang Juan sighed, "I thought we could relax when we ran to a smaller place, but it turned out to be so busy. Xiaobao, why do you think?"

"Because we are unwilling to live like this ordinary life, if we want to achieve more results, we must be responsible for the height you stand at. We have always been above the Tang Dynasty, and to be precise, above the imperial power of the Tang Dynasty. We are willing to exchange interests with Li Longji.

In the past, it was because we were not strong enough, and now it was because we like this kind of game. In fact, we never regarded ourselves as part of a feudal society. What we were thinking about was the whole Chinese nation and its favorability towards the Tang Dynasty, but its toughness towards the surrounding countries."

Zhang Xiaobao analyzed the two people’s thoughts to Wang Juan./

"Yes, that's it, because you and I don't take Li Longji in your eyes. They have always treated this time with a playful mentality, but we definitely don't regard the entire Chinese nation as the target of play. We really have to pay the money this time."

Wang Juan also agreed with Zhang Xiaobao's statement, and that's the truth.

"Out, why not? This is actually a business that makes money. Just like the plan I wrote, Queen Wang and Concubine Wu Hui cannot just enjoy it, they must pay the price they should have. Of course, this price will not harm them at all."

Zhang Xiaobao replied.

Just as Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were discussing their ideas, Wu Huifei was working hard for her external image and appearance in the Deyi Hospital in Huayuan County.

This time she knew that she had lost to Queen Wang, and she shouldn't have wanted this Sijifang at the beginning, making people feel like a ungrateful concubine.

This matter is actually simple and simple, but it is difficult. It depends on whether others want to use it. If everyone doesn’t care, then you can get through it. If someone who is interested makes some publicity behind the scenes, you probably won’t get it even if you return to the capital.

If this is the case, you can get other benefits, but the problem is that you have not gotten it at all.

So what we need to do now is to find ways to improve the attitude of local people towards themselves, not to improve, but to strengthen the good side of themselves in the hearts of the people.

So it was almost evening when I had to accompany the children who were still playing happily there and the ice skating.

I heard from others that Queen Wang is very good at skating. She can actually circle around the ice and jump up and turn twice.

I am indeed not as good as this. Who can make my background different from me? Then Queen Wang can go to battle and kill the enemy, and she can't compare with this in any way.

The only thing I can do is to watch the little guys play happily there with a sincere smile while watching them encourage themselves, and they need to push a chair and run around on the ice, otherwise they will fall.

"Empress Hui, it's too late. Should I ask them to leave first and come to them tomorrow?" The palace maid next to me went outside to ask about the time, and came over to say to Concubine Wu Hui.

Concubine Wu Hui didn't want to play anymore. Seeing that others didn't have to push chairs, but she had to push herself. It was not easy for anyone to feel good. She planned to practice while there was no one. When she returned to the palace, she would also do such a place in the palace. At that time, she would play with the emperor, which would be much better than playing with children now.

This is inside the house, and there are no situation outside. Candles are lit in the house, so I can't feel the passage of time. When I heard the questions from people around me, Concubine Wu Hui asked back, "It's dark?"

"If you say it to the queen, it's not dark yet, but you can't always be on this ice. What if you catch a cold?" said the palace maid worriedly.

"If you don't have any damnation, don't say anything more. What are you afraid of when you catch a cold? What is this place? This is Deyi Hospital, and there is a medical school not far away. Are you very happy to see the children having fun? How can I make them feel unhappy suddenly?"

Wu Huifei's words were very loud when she said, which made the children who were playing there also hear it. The children were very simple and did not know the battles in the palace.

They met two big men from the palace, one was the queen and the other was the concubine. What they didn't expect was that no matter which one was, they were very good to them, making them full of yearning for the palace, thinking that living there was the happiest thing.

Seeing that the children came to see them according to their plans, Wu Huifei said to them: "Don't worry, even if you play all night, I will follow you. When I learn how to play hide-and-seek with you, there will be food tonight."

The palace maid who followed Wu Huifei was not an ordinary person. When he heard Wu Huifei's words, he looked at her meaning and immediately knew what to do. He said loudly: "Empress, you are in a bad health and you can't catch a cold. The doctor said that if you do this, you will feel very uncomfortable."

"No need to say anything, I'm not uncomfortable at all." Concubine Wu Hui was happy. Her palace maid was just sensible. She fell to the ground with a thud while talking, and got up with difficulty, saying to the children who looked over with concern:

"It's okay, I just slipped accidentally. I can't compare to you. You are all very powerful. Oh, it's okay, my legs don't hurt."

"Empress, empress." Wu Huifei said that her legs didn't hurt but she couldn't stand up. The palace maids immediately lifted her up and walked out. The palace maids who had just spoken shouted twice with concern, and then smiled and said to the children who stopped:

"You keep playing. The lady is slightly uncomfortable and will be fine in a while. There are still delicious foods for you to prepare in the evening. Come and take them to play."

The children really don’t know what to do now. Concubine Wu Hui is sick. If she continues to play, it would be too unreasonable. But if she doesn’t play, the person has already told her to wait for someone to have dinner before leaving. What should she do?

Just as they were hesitating, not knowing whether to stay or leave, Wu Huifei struggled to stand up again and said to them: "You must have dinner here before leaving. I will come over when the time comes. I have never played before. Let's see who is better."

With his words, the children were relieved and continued to play here. Of course, they didn't have to spend money and there were still people to take care of them.

They remembered Wu Huifei in their hearts. When they went back, they had to talk to the adults at home, saying, "Why are the queen and Wu Huifei are the best."

As soon as he was carried out of the indoor ice rink, Concubine Wu Hui no longer felt uncomfortable. She signaled others to put her down and said to someone beside her: "When you arrive tomorrow, you will spread the news and must spread it to the capital. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I promise to do what the Empress said." How could the palace maid who was advised by Concubine Wu Hui not know what Concubine Wu Hui meant, and quickly agreed.

The next day, before the afternoon was waiting, the story of Wu Huifei taking sick people to play with the local children had already spread and spread rapidly towards the capital.

Concubine Wu Hui was very happy and rewarded her subordinates well. After asking the most loyal palace maid next to her, she said, "But have other things arranged?"

"If you want to go back to the empress, you have arranged it all. Don't worry, the person who causes trouble for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan will definitely not expose the empress. It's just that we can't use pigeons to convey the message. We probably have to wait for a while. This is the information sent by someone a few days ago."

The palace maid immediately knew how to answer, and handed a letter to Concubine Wu Hui.

After reading the letter, Wu Huifei said helplessly: "It seems that it is not easy to deal with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. Who was arrested by that dream? Let us continue to ask our people to cooperate with Li Linfu's actions. No matter what he wants to do, we have to cooperate. Even if it is a murder, we have to find a way to make people seem to commit suicide."

"Yes, I will make arrangements now." The palace maid responded and left hurriedly.

Waiting for the matter to be arranged, Wu Huifei sat there and murmured: "This time I see how you two deal with it. I want to go against me, hum! I will let you know how powerful I am."

The palace maids next to them clearly heard the voice of Concubine Wu Hui, but had to pretend not to hear it. They didn't know what to do. Some palace maids believed that Concubine Wu Hui could defeat Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, while others did not expect any of them. If Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were so easy to deal with, no one would have suffered countless losses on them.

Another morning, Wu Huifei had eaten the prepared meal here. When she was thinking about going to the hot springs again, the supervisor of the Zhang family suddenly came over and said to Wu Huifei: "Empress, I don't know if you want to go."

"What's the matter?" Wu Huifei was actually not satisfied with the supervisor of the Zhang family, because after she got here, she did not enjoy the treatment she said.

I stayed well, had a good meal, had a good time playing, and soaked in hot springs, but there were a lot of things missing. First of all, how to exercise here, and again, I have never seen the special prepared milk for myself to soak.

Not to mention that someone came to teach me some skills. This is obviously different from the situation where Queen Wang lives here, but looking at the regulations here, I really can't find any problems.

In other words, the treatment received by Queen Wang is not within the regulations, but is additional. I don’t know what happened to Queen Wang now. I heard that the Medicine King Mountain is very good.

"Empress, Empress." The supervisor sent by the Zhang family shouted twice when he saw Wu Huifei staying there.

This time, Concubine Wu Hui reacted and asked to the supervisor: "What did you say just now and want me to go over?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal. There will be a competition here recently. The chef's competition will allow many chefs to make new dishes, which must be something that others have not seen before. Then people with identities will be asked to evaluate who has a higher identity. If the dish really wins in the end, the name of the dish is not the name given by the chef, but the name given by the person who evaluates himself.

For example, if you said that a certain dish is good and you really win, then the pouring dish will be called Huifei Cai. This kind of small thing was not intended to disturb the empress, but I thought it was interesting, so I came over and talked to the empress.”

The Zhang family’s supervisor said very tactfully, but it always makes people feel ignored. What does it mean to not want to disturb? If you really don’t want to disturb, don’t come over and say it.

The first thought of Wu Huifei was that this supervisor did not want to participate, so he repeatedly emphasized that it was a small matter. So Wu Huifei asked the supervisor: "Will Queen Wang participate?"

"The Empress asked Queen Wang and participated. The number of times that have been held has been held, and Queen Wang participated three times, once a month."

The supervisor said to Concubine Wu Hui.

"Oh, it turns out that my sister has also participated. Since that's the case, how could I not go and see it? I'm the only one of them. I can still taste the dishes made by the chefs. Have you participated in it? I really want to know how the chefs here are compared to the imperial chefs in the palace?"

Concubine Wu Hui would not hesitate now. Since Queen Wang has participated and the name of the dish will be added to her, as long as this dish is really good and spread, will her name be spread along with it?

The supervisor did not show any other unnecessary expressions, but was still the smile just now, and said to Wu Huifei: "Since the Empress has participated in the competition, of course, we cannot take a look at the chef's competition. Even if there was no chef in Shuiyunjian, we should go over and take a look with just the words of the Empress. At that time, the Empress must taste it carefully."

After saying that, the supervisor hurriedly left to register for Concubine Wu Hui. Of course, Concubine Wu Hui was not a contestant, but she felt that she could join the ranks of judges.

Seeing the supervisor leaving, Wu Huifei finally figured it out. It turned out that the other party wanted to take this opportunity to raise the status of Queen Wang. Queen Wang had participated three times. It seemed that if she didn't take it seriously, she might lose the opportunity.

Thinking of this, Concubine Wu Hui ordered to the people around her: "Go and check the situation of this cook competition for me, and there are cooks from where they come from. I don't believe that there are really no one from Shuiyunjian among them. Humph! It's not for Queen Wang. I guess this arrangement is made. I will make them fail this time."
