Chapter 126 Stirring up a pool of stagnant water(2/2)
There were many young masters in the private room, and they all complained that a series of measures taken by Prince Qian's Palace had caused them heavy losses.
Young Master Chen turned back from the window and sat on a chair, feeling the coolness emanating from the ice basin, and said: "Lingnan used to be like a pool of stagnant water, but the arrival of Prince Qian's Mansion single-handedly disturbed the peace of Lingnan.
The water has lost its calmness because we don’t know how many people can catch the big fish hidden under the water.”
Tong Song shook his fan and snorted coldly, "We don't know how many big fish there are, but you, Master Chen, have already made the first pot of gold before us."
Young Master Chen knew that Tong Song was talking about the business of selling snowflake salt to other state capitals.
After hearing the other party's slightly sour words, he could only smile: "Thanks to the princess for not giving up, she gave me an opportunity to make a little fortune. Of course Mr. Chen will not miss it."
Fishing in troubled waters also requires sharp eyesight. If your eyesight is not good enough, even if a fish darts past your feet, you will not be able to catch it.
Is it because no one else has discovered this business opportunity in selling salt this time?
However, there are exceptions this time.
The princess's natal family, the Xia family, also discovered this business opportunity, but their family came to Lingnan a step late. One step was late and the other was late. He traveled to other provinces first and seized the business opportunity faster than them.
After hearing what Young Master Chen said, a group of young men were so stunned that they died.
Prince Qian's Mansion had already forced them to lose a lot of assets by attacking local tyrants to divide their land, but this boy from the Chen family came to rub salt into their wounds.
This is too much!
Tong Song looked at the passing team below the window, his eyes flashed, this harvest seemed good!
Cleaning up the hidden house and re-measurement and registration of the land were going quite smoothly.
If this decree is completed, it will be considered a good political achievement.
Seeing this, Prince Qian, who has always been dedicated to being a dandy, has been a little distracted these days.
At the family banquet, Prince Qian would inevitably speak loudly and boastfully while drinking some wine.
Just when Xia Jing was impatient, Zeng Yan came to report that the personal guards she sent to suppress the bandits were back.
Xia Jing was almost done eating, so she put down her chopsticks and stood up, "You guys eat slowly, I'll take a step ahead."
King Qian put down his wine glass and said with a mouth full of alcohol: "Princess, don't worry. It's not convenient for you to receive your guards in the backyard. You can receive them in the study later, and I will go with you."
Xia Jing raised her eyebrows, "Have you had enough fun?"
King Qian laughed: "You can drink wine at any time, but there are not many opportunities to accompany the princess."
It means that drinking wine is not as important as accompanying the princess.
All the family members who were accidentally fed a mouthful of dog food had their heads lowered, and no one was too embarrassed to watch the interaction between the couple.
Xia Jing was speechless. She naturally noticed the reactions of her family members. She didn't want to refute King Qian's face on such a trivial matter in front of her juniors.
She didn't care whether she received the guards captains in the backyard or in the study.
King Qian did not give Xia Jing a chance to object, and told Zeng Yan: "Take me to the study and wait, we will go there immediately."
On the way to the study, King Qian said: "The backyard of the government office is still too small. Sometimes it is a bit inconvenient to receive guests. When do you think we will move to the palace?"
The palace that King Qian refers to is naturally the ancestral home of the Lou family, and now he has put up the plaque of Prince Qian's palace.
It was only because I had been busy with land reform during this period that I delayed moving.
Xia Jing has no objection to moving. She would rather live in a more spacious and comfortable place.
"It's up to you to decide this matter. I have no objection."
When Xia Jing entered the study, she immediately noticed a man with a straight back kneeling in the middle of the study.
The man's hands were tied behind his back.
The couple sat on the main seat, and several squadron leaders including Ding Dazhuang, Wei Dong, Cheng Gu, Yan Qiong and Zuo Jing came to greet them.
King Qian smiled and said in an easy-going tone: "Sit down and tell us what you gained from going out to suppress bandits this time."
Ding Dazhuang looked at Xia Jing.
Xia Jing smiled and nodded: "Are you in danger when you go out this time? Are any brothers injured?"
Ding Dazhuang cupped his hands and replied: "Back to the prince and princess, everything went smoothly when we went out this time. However, when we captured the bandit's den, we encountered full resistance from the bandits. The heroic souls of more than a dozen of our brothers have remained in Jigong Mountain forever.
"
Xia Jing was a little distressed at the loss of more than a dozen personal guards, "Pay pensions according to martyrs' standards and take more care of their families."
They are her personal guards, and the government will not bear their pension money, but Xia Jing can provide money to comfort them according to the government's standards.
