Chapter 755 Borrowing Money
Luo Qinghan said lightly: "This was dug up from Fengyang County, and the people in Qin Tianjian have seen it, and they all said that this is a sign of auspiciousness."
Xiao Xixi was surprised: "Those ministers still believe this?"
In fact, every year someone presents auspicious things to please the emperor. If you are lucky, you can also get a chance to get promoted. It is a good business with huge profits.
As for how many of those auspicious auspices are true and how many are false, only the parties themselves know.
Luo Qinghan: "I discussed with the ministers just now that I wanted to allocate funds from the national treasury to buy winter supplies and send them to Fengyang County. As a result, just after I said this, someone said that there was auspiciousness in Fengyang County and offered this stone. It doesn't matter if the stone is real or not, what matters is that it appeared in time."
Originally, the ministers didn't believe the emperor's words, so good, how could Fengyang County suffer from snow disaster?
It's almost the end of the year, and everyone just wants to have a peaceful New Year. At this time, the emperor suddenly said that there will be disasters in Fengyang County. How can this year go on? Isn't it all right!
All six cabinet ministers opposed the emperor's proposal.
It was at this time that Fengyang County presented auspiciousness, which was tantamount to confirming the guesses of the ministers——
Since Fengyang County can appear auspicious, it means that the world is peaceful and there will be no disasters.
Everything is purely the emperor's misgivings!
Xiao Xixi looked at him: "Is the proposal to buy winter supplies rejected?"
Luo Qinghan: "I didn't say it was rejected, I just said it was put on hold for the time being and needs to be considered in the long run."
Saying it's on hold is actually procrastinating.
Ministers want to drag this matter over until next spring when the weather starts to warm up, and the so-called snow disaster prediction has become a joke.
That's why ministers leave the imperial study with a smile on their faces.
They were refuted by the emperor for their impeachment of the imperial concubine before, and they lost face. Now they have finally recovered 10%, regained their face, and won the victory psychologically. Naturally, they are very happy.
Xiao Xixi looked worried: "What are you going to do?"
Luo Qinghan said in a low voice: "I have already ordered someone to send a letter to the county magistrate of Fengyang County, and ask him to pay more attention. If any people are found to be affected by disasters, they must be rescued in time. As for the purchase of winter supplies, I need King Ying's help, please He lends me some money."
The grandfather of the King of England was the Gao family.
As long as the Gao family is persuaded, purchasing supplies will certainly not be a problem.
In fact, Luo Qinghan only needs to issue an imperial decree, even if the Gao family is unwilling, he can only pay obediently, but this will inevitably leave a bad reputation for being arrogant and domineering, which is really unnecessary.
Xiao Xixi's eyes lit up: "Are you going out of the palace to find King Ying? Can you take me with you?"
Going out of the palace means that there are a lot of delicious food, and I can't help drooling when I think about it.
Luo Qinghan originally wanted to call King Ying into the palace to discuss matters. At this time, seeing Xixi's look full of anticipation, remembering that she hadn't been out of the palace to play since she entered the palace, she was soft-hearted and agreed.
"Well, let's change clothes and leave the palace now."
Xiao Xixi nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay!"
The two changed into civilian clothes and left the palace in a carriage.
Xiao Xixi sat in the carriage, lifted the curtains of the carriage and looked out. Five consecutive days of heavy snow had turned Shengjing into a season of pure silver.
The roof is covered with thick white snow, and there are glittering icicles hanging under the eaves, and the trees along the road are also covered with crystal frost.
The snow on the road has been cleared away, but the ground is still slippery, and it will slip if you are not careful.
After a while, Xiao Xixi had already seen several people fall down on the road.
The cold wind came in, making her nose a little red from the cold.
She put down the heavy car curtains and turned to look at Luo Qinghan.
"Are we going directly to the King of England?"
Luo Qinghan knew what she was thinking, and said softly, "Find a place to have lunch first."
Xiao Xixi's eyes really lit up.
"Where are we going to eat?"
Luo Qinghan: "As you like."
Xiao Xixi thought hard for a long time, and her little face was wrinkled.
"I want to eat everything, I can't make a choice."
Luo Qinghan: "Let's go to Liuguang Pavilion first. After finishing the business, I will take you to the night market in the evening."
Xiao Xixi nodded vigorously: "Mmmm!"
As a famous restaurant in Shengjing, Liuguang Pavilion is naturally delicious, but the price is a bit expensive.
But what does that matter?
Anyway, she went out with the gold master's father, so she didn't have to worry about money at all!
The carriage stopped at the entrance of Liuguang Pavilion.
Xiao Xixi jumped out of the car and ran excitedly to Liuguang Pavilion.
The guy hurried up to meet him, and was immediately amazed by the appearance of the little lady in front of him.
This little lady was born with red lips and white teeth, and a pair of almond eyes that sparkled like stars, and she was very likable.
Especially when she laughed, a pair of shallow pear eddies appeared around her mouth, and her eyes were curved into crescent moons, which was even more lovely.
Today, she wore a lotus-colored jacket with a red cloak and a scarf made of white fox fur around her neck. The sharp contrast between red and white made her face even more charming and beautiful. People love.
Xiao Xixi knew that Liuguang Pavilion's business was good, and it was often full of friends, so she asked with a smile.
"Are there any empty seats?"
The guy came back to his senses and hurriedly said earnestly: "Some and some, how many guest officials?"
As he asked, he couldn't help but quietly look at her face.
He has seen a lot of beautiful little ladies, but it is rare to see someone as delicate and cute as her.
Seeing her in a woman's bun, she must be married.
I don't know which Lang Jun is so lucky to be able to marry such a lovely little lady.
Xiao Xixi: "We have two people and a few followers."
She turned her head and looked back, seeing that Luo Qinghan had gotten out of the car, and hurriedly waved her arms at him.
"Come on, come on, there's still a seat!"
The guy followed her line of sight, and was stunned when he saw Luo Qinghan.
The appearance of this gentleman is actually not inferior to the little lady next to him, and it is not an exaggeration to praise the appearance of heaven and man.
However, why does this Lang Jun look a little familiar? Seems like I've seen it before.
The memory of the dude is not bad. I quickly remembered that this Langjun had visited Liuguang Pavilion before, and he seemed to be very familiar with their owner, King Ying.
Since he is a friend of the King of England, he cannot be neglected.
The guy showed the most enthusiastic attitude and greeted the two of them into the store.
"Two distinguished guests, please take a seat."
Luo Qinghan looked at the seat in front of him, not very satisfied.
This table is very close to the door. Although there is a thick felt hanging on the door, the cold wind will still get in through the gap in the felt, and there will be people walking around from time to time, which is very annoying.
Xiao Xixi asked, "Is there no private room?"
