Chapter 255 Knowing the Law and Breaking It

Yan Qing reached out and nodded her head: "Has the marriage been decided?"

"Not yet." Mu Dongli said, "Don't worry, I'll play for another two years."

"For the sake of three million taels of silver, how about I make you a princess?" Yan Qing said with a smile on his face, "After becoming a princess, you want to marry a high-ranking official. no problem."

"Ah?" Mu Dongli was stunned, then frowned, "Does this behavior count as buying an official position?"

Yan Qing was silent for a moment, then smiled happily: "Forget it."

"Then forget it." Mu Dongli shook his head, "What if people ask me how I got the position of princess after I go back? I will say that I bought it with money, which will be detrimental to the reputation of the queen sister."

Yan Qing laughed.

She is a smart and transparent little girl.

Yan Qing has always known that Mu Dongli is simple but not stupid. She knows everything she needs to know. The Mu family has taught her upright and protected her well.

Although everyone in the world says that no businessman can be a traitor, the Mu family has developed for so many years and has become the number one merchant family in Dayong. It is absolutely impossible to just rely on abiding by the law. There must be some shady things in private.

But just looking at Dongli's temperament, one can tell that even if the Mu family has done some things they shouldn't have done, they are still generally justified.

"It's been a long journey to the imperial city, isn't it? Stay and play for two days before going back." Yan Qing said, "Let the maid take you around the palace, stroll around the imperial garden, and go to the tower to see Look, you can also go out of the palace to see the prosperity of the imperial city."

Mu Dongli happily agreed: "Okay, thank you Queen Sister."

"You're welcome." Yan Qing smiled, turned around and ordered the palace attendant: "Take Miss Mu out for a walk."

Mu Dongli guessed that they had something to say, so he turned around and glanced at his two brothers, then turned to look at Yan Qing.

"Go." Yan Qing gave her a soothing look, as if telling her not to worry.

Mu Dongli turned around and walked out.

The Qinzheng Hall fell silent, Yan Qing smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and said in a lighter tone: "The Mu family has a great business, so many people in the shopping mall are watching, and it is impossible to guard against intrigues, overt knives and hidden arrows. So I can understand Mujiazhuang’s behavior of raising dead people to protect themselves.”

Mu Dongming lowered his eyes: "The common people know their guilt."

"It has never been allowed to raise dead soldiers, let alone the fact that the Mu family has raised so many dead soldiers. You know how to deal with them according to the law." Yan Qing said in a calm voice, "The dead soldiers that have been raised now, I can allow them to exist, but from today on, the Mu family is not allowed to train dead soldiers."

Wen Jin suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have a proposal."

Yan Qing turned around and said, "Say."

"Mr. Mu is very proficient in cultivating dead soldiers. Moreover, merchants' families will face more dangers when traveling all year round, so there is nothing wrong with raising some dead soldiers to protect themselves." Wen Jin said, "What I mean is that since there are already Mature dead soldier training institutions can arrange for the court to intervene. By then, the regulations of dead soldiers will be strictly controlled. They can also slowly change the model and turn dead soldiers into secret guards. This can not only reduce the loss of manpower, but also extend their training time. The service life can also ensure the strict compliance of the organization.”

Yan Qing frowned: "Isn't this knowing the law and breaking the law?"

"Everything requires a transition and cannot be rushed." Wen Jin explained, "In terms of more details, I will choose a time to discuss it with Mr. Mu in detail and work out a more complete and feasible plan as much as possible to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

Yan Qing drank tea in silence, frowning slightly, as if thinking about the feasibility of what Wen Jin said.

"If Your Majesty feels something is wrong, can you ask the Regent to come back and ask what the Regent means?" Wen Jin said in a gentle voice, "What if the Regent also thinks it is feasible?"

Yan Qing frowned: "If the regent learns that the Mu family has raised so many dead soldiers, let alone whether it is feasible or not, given his temper, he may not allow such a thing to happen."

Wen Jin hummed and lowered his eyes: "I promised the Mu Family Master before -"

"I know." Yan Qing raised her hand and rubbed the center of her brow, "Can you ensure it's feasible?"
