Chapter 47 Prince
The courtyard of the capital is almost the same as that of Hongxian, and it is even a little dilapidated. However, when Nangong Qi thinks that this is the capital, it is no longer strange.
"Please sit down, Cui'er, give me tea." The person who received Nangong Qi was Dongfang Qing. It was not the manager Nangong Qi wanted to meet.
Dongfang Qing is a middle-aged man in his forties. He is not tall, but handsome and has a beautiful beard.
When he met Nangong Qi, his expression was not arrogant, and his tone was as plain as water, as if he had seen someone who was equal to his status.
This surprised Nangong Qi a little because after entering this world, he had not met someone who had an equal conversation with him for a long time.
"Where are you here? I heard from the servants that you once called yourself a student. But have you passed the exam and made a fame?"
"Shame, the student once had a child's life. Unfortunately, his family's fortune was not good. He was unable to continue the exam." This is the life experience given by the county magistrate. At least he should have the title of a child, otherwise he would be unable to move forward in this society.
Everything is inferior, but reading is high.
True portrayal.
"What a pity." Dongfang Qing held the teacup and took a sip. "But everything can become a talent, don't stop thinking." His words were equal and comforted, just like a close friend among modern people.
Nangong Qi was a little curious about the reason why the other party's ideas formed, but now is not the time to say this. He nodded and agreed with the other party's words, and then directly guided himself to the purpose of "It's true. So I worked hard to study strange and lustful skills. Finally, I figured out how to make green salt."
Speaking of the topic, Dongfang Qing looked straight, and then leaned forward slightly. "Do you have something to ask for?"
"Yes. If possible, I want to serve the crown prince." Nangong Qi expressed his main purpose.
"Oh?" Dongfang Qing looked at Nangong Qi.
Although he is the Crown Prince's man, this is not a very top secret. But it is not something a little boy can know.
Nangong Qi also knew it was a little abrupt. But he was not too nervous.
Because according to the meaning of County Magistrate Sun, the current crown prince is extremely short of people and reliable people! Because Emperor Daqing's sudden delegation of power, the entire court did not react.
Nowadays, most of them are still the ministers of His Majesty the Emperor, not the ministers of the crown prince.
That's why County Magistrate Sun was so busy that he didn't touch the ground that he forgot him behind his head - right?
Nangong Qi had never cared about these issues. He just wanted to get in touch with the prince as soon as possible. Then he used most of his secrets that were beyond ordinary people to gain the absolute trust of the prince, and ultimately achieved the purpose of saving the prince's life.
Of course, the rewards received after these technologies were spread were definitely more than he imagined. Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens this time, he should still achieve a super perfect achievement.
"My brother is a little too anxious." Dongfang Qing smiled and shook his head, then picked up the teacup.
At this time, the waiter who had been guarding the door saw this situation and quickly said aloud, "Send the guests!"
......
Nangong Qi stood up to salute, and then left the Dongfang family.
"Am I really a little anxious?" Nangong Qi was speechless. He was so straightforward to serve tea and see off guests. It felt like a slap in the face!
————————————
"Where did you go?" Dongfang Qing held the teacup and carefully looked at the teacup in his hand, as if he wanted to see the flowers.
In the concierge, a thin man dressed in a servant replied softly, "I left the inner city and currently live in a Fushunju inn."
"Hurry up and go to Hongxian to check his foundation." Dongfang Qing's expression was still extremely calm. "I want all the news about him within two days."
"Yes." The servant carefully retreated.
Dongfang Qing closed his eyes, thought for a while, then got up and left his home and went to the prince's mansion.
The prince is twenty-one years old this year and is in his prime. Therefore, he left the palace and lived in the palace five years ago. He is currently living in the inner city's prince's mansion.
After an incident three years ago, the prince's mansion was instantly deserted. Now Dongfang Qing, who is the prince's wallet, lives in a slum for three years. He spends every day in anxiety.
Therefore, he does not have any superior temperament, nor does he underestimate anyone's character. Only by being careful in everything and careful in everything can he gain a foothold in the upcoming waves.
"The prince invites you to enter the study." A small yellow gate led Dongfang Qing into the prince's mansion. He saluted respectfully.
Soon the two of them arrived in the study, and the prince held a brush in his hand and frowned and thoughtful.
Hearing the movement, he raised his head and immediately smiled happily when he saw Dongfang Qing. "Love Qing is here! Xizi, give him a seat."
"Crown Prince Qiansui." Dongfang Qing did not take it casually because of the prince's closeness. He bowed respectfully. Then after Xiao Xizi brought the seat, he sat in the seat with only half of his butt.
"But what's wrong with the salt industry?" When he sat down, the prince asked softly.
The brother of this wet nurse has been cautious since childhood and is inconspicuous in everyone's eyes. When he first ascended the position of crown prince, he had no arrogance and had no intention of being decadent. Therefore, in his crown prince's evaluation, he was a role that could rely on important responsibilities.
This is also the reason why he handed over the salt industry to the other party.
Dongfang Qing stood up again, saluted the prince, and then reported on the matter.
"Oriental Salt Industry has been launched for half a month and has collected 3,700 taels of silver, and has a fee of 779 taels of silver. The coexisting silver is 2,921 taels." Speaking of this, Dongfang Qing paused for a moment before continuing, "The Liu Mansion ordered 1,000 taels of coarse salt. The Hongxian Hou Mansion also bought 1,000 taels of silver."
The prince was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"These two old foxes! I've written them down."
The Marquis of Hongxian, who had once relied on, stabbed him at a critical moment. Prime Minister Liu Wenju was his fifth brother and the lackey of the queen.
He gave two big gifts when he opened the store.
This is both a show of goodwill and a warning.
To put it seriously, if we really pursue it, he is obviously a model for competing for profit with the people. "Don't worry about them, just wait for me to gradually control the situation."
"Yes." Dongfang Qing promised. "Because our Dongfang Salt Industry has just opened, most of them sell coarse salt. There is too little fine salt. The most important thing is that there is no salt field at present..."
"No hurry. I just want you to get familiar with me first and wait for it later." The prince smiled and shook his head. Dongfang Salt Industry is optional. He just gave his own lineage something to do, by the way, "And, I have really suffered you in the past few years."
"I've caused you all the hardships because of my words. Hey... It's a pity that Yaoxian."
"These are the duties of subordinates." Dongfang Qing didn't care about his three years of wasted time.
However, he thought of the person he met today. "Your Highness, someone came to the door today to promote the manufacturing method of green salt. This person is named Li Yu. A native of Hong County."
"Oh?" the prince pondered for a while, but said, "It's okay, those who are interested in me in the court will not bribe me with green salt. To verify the authenticity, you can bring it to me when the time comes."
