Chapter 200 Royal Coal Industry
Although the old man cursed, he did not force Zhao Hao to the Princess's Mansion to announce the good news.
Upon hearing the good news that Zhao Lang had passed the top scorer, the eldest princess specially promoted to the seat in the main hall and dressed up to meet Zhao Hao.
Naturally, Liu Shanggong and Eunuch Chicken also had to dress up to attend to help His Highness increase his sense of ceremony.
Just looking at Zhao Hao's sincere admiration, the second brother couldn't help but mutter:
‘Young Master Zhao is so pitiful. He thought that His Highness cared about his father and loved the house. But he didn’t know that it was almost the same as before…’
‘Oh,Oh…’
"I've been busy with the imperial shop recently, and I haven't even bothered to ask about it." The eldest princess used her slightly exaggerated acting skills to hide her guilt and embarrassment: "I went to the palace yesterday to pay my respects to the emperor, and I realized that my brother had actually been the top scorer in high school. It's so surprising, hahaha..."
This is the second time that the mother and the mother met after the Lantern Festival.
It is inevitable that Liu Shanggong and the others who are unknown are secretly lamenting the plastic mother-son relationship that is broken if it loses its function...
The eldest princess can calmly announce to the emperor and everyone that she and Zhao Shouzheng are made up of heaven, but she cannot face the three children with confidence.
Especially Zhao Hao, who had met them.
Therefore, the eldest princess has been avoiding meeting her godson for a while, which is so embarrassing...
Fortunately, at the end of last month, Zhao Hao came here and took the opportunity to give money to tell his godmother that he didn't mind being with her father at all.
Otherwise, the eldest princess would probably have boiled water if her face was so hot.
"This is a great joy, I must celebrate it well... But in the bright spring season, it is a waste to sit in the house and eat and drink." The eldest princess said in a bit incoherently:
"Why go and have a spring trip. Yes, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom in Yuyuantan. We also imitate the ancients to hold a Qushui banquet to celebrate your father. How about it?"
"Of course my father and I will follow my mother's arrangements." Zhao Hao nodded obediently, thinking that as long as my grandfather doesn't object, no one will stop you.
Of course, if the old man came to the capital, it would be better to hide it as much as possible...
~~
Zhao Hao's touching attitude finally made the eldest princess gradually calm down and her face was not so red.
She became proud again and smiled at him:
"By the way, I met with the emperor yesterday. He praised your father's argumentative article. Especially about the refugee, the emperor praised him and told me to come back and study it carefully."
As she said that, she nodded to Mr. Ji, and Ji Sizheng sent a copy of the strategy to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao took it and pretended to read it.
In fact, these are simply his ideas, and they are just spoken out through his father's pen.
After a while, Zhao Hao put aside his policy and boasted: "This article is done well. If you follow this, you can achieve three goals in one fell swoop and achieve success for thousands of years."
"Your child is really lucky, and he is actually a father with the top scorer." The eldest princess said with a glorious look on her face: "The emperor's meaning is, can our Xishan Company handle this matter?"
Zhao Hao thought it was too capable, otherwise I would say why it was done. But he pretended to think about it for a while before slowly saying:
"My father hopes to let the royal family take the lead and start mining on a large scale in Xishan to achieve the three major goals of resettlement of refugees, alleviating the court's difficulties, and training miners in groups. The first two are not a big problem, but the latter is not something that children can argue with."
"I forgot to tell you that the second item can be removed. The emperor's brother doesn't plan to invest in Xishan anymore." The eldest princess patted her forehead. Alas, love makes people crazy, I forgot such an important thing.
"Why?" Zhao Hao looked at the eldest princess in surprise. If the emperor did not participate, how could he play with such a big stall?
"Don't worry. We can still use the banner of the emperor's brother, and do whatever we should do. It's just that the emperor's brother does not invest and does not divide the accounts." The eldest princess hesitated for a moment and told Zhao Hao the truth:
"This is compensation for my mother's withdrawal from the imperial property."
"Oh...ah?" Zhao Hao asked more and more surprise: "Why is Mom so good? She just retreated?"
Liu Shanggong and Ji Sizheng lowered their heads when they heard this, obviously full of resentment.
"Don't do this. I'm voluntarily, and no one is forcing me." The eldest princess said lightly: "Actually, if I don't want to, Concubine Li can't do anything to me."
Zhao Hao thought to himself, it turns out that the greed of the old Li family began to attack at this time.
He smiled and comforted the eldest princess and said, "This move is extremely clever. After all, the imperial concubine has the support of the prince, so we don't have to compete with her. I will give up the imperial property early and sell it to her."
"That's not it." The eldest princess couldn't help but glance at Master Ji and Liu Shanggong and said, "Let me hear what my son said, and think about you two. It's like having a kiss. You are not as good as a child!"
"Yes..." The two of them hurriedly laughed and were taught, thinking that even if we tied up a child like Mr. Zhao, we wouldn't be able to compare with him.
Thinking of tying each other, the two of them quickly stood a little further away with disgust.
"I came out of Qianqing Palace yesterday, and the imperial concubine asked me to invite me to Chuxiu Palace." The eldest princess turned to Zhao Hao and said with a smile: "I stood at the gate of the palace with a big belly to greet her, but I have never seen her so enthusiastic."
"I guess the Empress is also annoyed by her weirdness and brother." Zhao Hao smiled sympathetically.
When it comes to strange things, Concubine Li’s brother is definitely not inferior to Empress Zhang’s pair of live treasure brothers back then.
"Even you, an outsider, have you heard of the reputation of the father and son?" The eldest princess couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's really hard to describe the imperial concubine's family with such a family."
However, after no conflict of interest, she didn't want to arrange the imperial concubine's family, so she returned to the topic: "As for the third 'group training miners', you don't have to worry about it."
The eldest princess said, glanced at Eunuch Chicken and said justice: "Your Majesty has ordered him to serve as the governor and eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the governor Xishan Troupe. Let him do it."
"Oh, my own people are the best. Congratulations to Mr. Ji." Zhao Hao was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly congratulated Mr. Ji.
Although the Admiral and Eunuch are only the third-ranked figure in the Imperial Horse Prison, and there are two big bosses, the eunuch in charge of the seal and the eunuch in charge of the twelve bureaus, the eunuchs next to them are no longer able to imagine that they can return to the twelve bureaus from the princess's mansion.
Naturally, Eunuch Chicken would not be happy in front of His Highness, and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness is really driving the ducks on the shelves. It's okay for me to run errands, so how could I train any soldiers?"
"Isn't Feng Bao just a nanny in the past? Now he is not an East Factory, and the Imperial Horse Supervisor shoulders?" The eldest princess waved her hand proudly and said, "No one can come up, just learn!"
"Oh, I'm going to do my best to not drag your highness and the young master down." Eunuch Chi nodded quickly to respond.
"Your Majesty means to hang up the sign as soon as possible." The eldest princess asked Zhao Hao again, "How are you preparing?"
"Sun Dawu has taken action early, and it has been almost two months since he bought it." Zhao Hao smiled bitterly after hearing this, "Although he has tried to keep a low profile, he still doubled the price of the waste coal mine. If he wants to eat the original amount, he will probably have to add 100,000 taels of funds."
"That's 250,000 taels..." The eldest princess was overwhelmed. Zhao Hao told her that the acquisition could not be completed.
Otherwise, let people know that Xishan coal industry has a secret weapon to pump water, and the prices of those waste coal mines will definitely rise ten times or dozens of times.
How can I let the fat meat in my mouth be eaten by others?
"Mom can start offering stocks." Zhao Hao said with a smile.
