Steward Lu took out a ten thousand tael silver note from his pocket and said, "The imperial court has reduced its iron cavalry by half and only needs to buy 500 war horses from our Lu family. The eldest young master thinks that the medical fee should be given to Dr. Jia."

Su Tang raised her eyebrows. Her husband-in-law was ordered to build a house for refugees outside the city. It was impossible that the Lu family had not heard about this. They did not send it to her husband-in-law, but went to her directly. It seemed that they already knew that she was Dr. Jia.

I have to say that Young Master Lu is smart enough.

Su Tang sat down and said, "Leaving aside the matter of treating the eldest young master, Mr. Lu, tell me what is the lowest price you can pay for a war horse?"

Manager Lu didn't understand why Su Tang asked, so he said truthfully, "Before entering Beijing, the base price given by the master was sixty-five taels for a war horse."

The price is about the same.

Manager Lu was about to hand over the banknote. Su Tang smiled and said, "I won't accept the banknote. Manager Lu, please take it back."

"this......"

Manager Lu was in a dilemma, "I can't explain this to the young master."

Su Tang chuckled and said, "Help me tell you, the eldest young master of the Lu family, that the business between the imperial court and the Lu family has been reduced by half, and my business with the Lu family has not started yet."

Manager Lu was surprised, "The Crown Princess wants to do business with my Lu family?"

But the main business of the Lu family is horses. There is no other business, but compared with the horse business, it can be ignored.

Su Tang said, "I can't give you the Lu family's approval on this matter yet, but what is certain is that I will buy at least a thousand war horses from the Lu family, and the price will be according to your Lu family's base price, which is sixty-five taels per horse.

"

In the long-term business, she will not take advantage of the Lu family. What is more important than money is that the horse is good.

Manager Lu suppressed the excitement in his heart, because a thousand horses was no longer a small business, but he didn't understand why Princess Jingnan wanted to buy so many horses, and they were war horses.

King Jingnan already has a large number of troops, and if he raises iron cavalry privately...

Thinking of the worst possibility, Manager Lu broke into a cold sweat afterwards.

Although the Lu family is only doing business with the Jingnan Palace, there is no guarantee that the imperial court will not be angry.

Su Tang looked at Manager Lu and saw that he went from joy to fear. Su Tang knew that he had misunderstood and said, "Manager Lu, don't think wrongly. I, the Jingnan Palace, are loyal to the court and the emperor. Raising war horses will inevitably go through the emperor."

nod."

Manager Lu said awkwardly, "I don't dare, I don't dare."

Su Tang insisted on letting Steward Lu bring the banknotes back, and since he wanted to do business with the Lu family, Steward Lu refused to refuse and said goodbye to Su Tang.

Su Tang sat for a while, thinking about when she would go to the palace to talk to the emperor about raising iron cavalry. Xie Boting would not help her and the emperor, let alone the prince, but this matter must be done as soon as possible, Lu

After discussing the business with Prince Xin's Mansion, it was time to leave home. Although she could send someone to the Lu family to negotiate, it would be better for her to do so in person.

Su Tang wanted to wait until the pills were ready before entering the palace, but before she could finish her work, someone entered the palace.

The Empress of the Song Dynasty held a banquet for the female relatives of all civil and military officials. As the eldest concubine of the Jingnan Palace and the granddaughter of Prince Xin, Su Tang was naturally among the invitees.

It's just that this thing is a bit unusual. The imperial treasury is empty, and even the money for raising the iron cavalry has been reduced. The Empress of Song Dynasty is the mother of the world, and she should share the worries of the king, so she held a banquet at this time.

It's intriguing.

What's even more intriguing is that later, when the palace sent someone to deliver the message, they specifically asked Princess Nankang to enter the palace for the banquet.

Princess Nankang provoked discord between the prince and the princess, and was punished by the prince to go to the Buddhist hall to reflect. However, the palace asked the prince of Nankang County and the princess to attend the banquet together. Is this to help Princess Nankang get out of the temple to breathe, or is it deliberately embarrassing the princess?

Or maybe there is a bigger conspiracy
