There aren't many people who can use it, so you have to take good care of me, otherwise I'll be the one to worry about. I don't want to be bald yet. With Su Xiang's old fox's urine, he hasn't given up on me yet. By then, without Zhang Aiqing as a general, Prime Minister Su will be too busy and will definitely want to push those memorials to me again. No, this is absolutely not possible! Zhang Aiqing must get better! 】
Ministers: ...after all, I was moved too early!
"When can Zhang Aiqing arrive in the capital?"
"Return to Your Majesty. We will arrive around noon tomorrow."
"Okay, I will send an imperial doctor to the Zhang Mansion tomorrow to diagnose and treat Zhang Aiqing. Dear friends, don't worry." Lu Qing frowned.
The lifespan of people in ancient times was indeed short, and Zhang Aiqing was almost 6 years old, so her body needed to be taken good care of.
"One more thing, Your Majesty." Su Xiang also stood up at this time.
"Well, tell me."
"Your Majesty, there are still more than 800,000 taels of gold and silver raised from previous donations. I propose that they be put into the national treasury."
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal."
Lu Qing didn't need to think about it and just nodded, "Okay, then let the Ministry of Household Affairs handle this matter. Meng Aiqing, please take over with Su Xiang."
"I accept the decree!" Meng Shuo, the Minister of Household Affairs, saw this, his eyes gleamed, and he hurriedly accepted the decree.
God knows how difficult it is for him to be the Minister of Household Affairs. No matter what he does, he has to ask for money. But who in the court doesn't know what is going on in the treasury? On weekdays, you have to come to him for anything, and if you ask for a large sum of money, all the lions are very open-minded. It is true that they don’t know how expensive food, rice, oil and salt are, but these little dogs know how to ask for money.
The ministers all laughed when they saw the crinkles at the corners of Meng Shangshu's eyes, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.
Now that the treasury is full, he won't be as picky as before when asking for money in the future, right?
Seeing this, Su Xiang also raised the corners of his mouth.
The disaster was basically over, and he was in an indescribably good mood!
Seeing the "lively" appearance of his colleagues, he was also interested in watching them.
But after all, some ministers still remembered the thieves breaking into the palace yesterday.
"Your Majesty, I believe that this matter is due to the negligence of the commander of the imperial army, which actually allowed thieves to break into the palace and even posed a threat to His Majesty's personal life. If His Majesty had not been blessed with great blessings, the consequences would be unimaginable! Please be sure to punish him severely."
"I second my opinion. In the palace, thieves can come and go freely. I don't think Zuo Ming is qualified for this leadership position!"
"Then since Zuo Ming can't protect His Majesty, why not let the son come and ensure that His Majesty is unharmed."
"Your Majesty will not want your tall and thick son. Your Majesty, my son is a natural martial arts wizard. Now he has become famous in the northwest military camp. Protecting Your Majesty will not be a problem."
…
Next, Lu Qing saw the originally chirping civil servants being silenced by a group of military attaches. After all, when it came to military force, it was a family of military attaches who had been marching for generations.
Lu Qing felt that it was quite new. After all, he had been in court for so long and it was the first time he saw the military attachés so active. Usually, they couldn't beat two farts with one stick. It turned out that they were not interested in the conversation or couldn't get in. talk?
However, there were also ministers who spoke for Zuo Ming.
Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, and it was almost decided where Zuo Ming would be demoted, Lu Qing had no choice but to remind the ministers, "Ahem, cough, cough!"
Suddenly, the crowd that had been noisy like a market suddenly fell silent.
"This matter cannot be entirely blamed on Commander Zuo Ming. I have seen that thief before, and he is a rare opponent even in the whole of Yu!"
[Of course, in my place, he can only be the meat on the chopping board and let me slaughter him! 】
The ministers looked at each other, not wanting to undermine His Majesty's self-confidence.
Their majesty seems to have an inaccurate understanding of his own force?
There was silence.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Lu Qing made the final decision, "Okay, Zuo Ming's matter is over. However, in order to tighten his skin, I think he can go to some generals to discuss and learn from each other, which will also help improve himself." Martial arts, what do you think?" Although Zuo Ming is considered a top master in Dayu, in Lu Qing's opinion, he still has to become stronger, otherwise the two neighboring countries will approach, and she will be very worried about the security issues in the palace. It’s worry!
I'm afraid not just anyone can enter Dayu Palace, right?
How insecure!
"Your Majesty, I think it's very good. I've long heard that Commander Zuo is highly skilled in martial arts, and I'm looking for an opportunity to compete. Thank you, Your Majesty." The bearded middle-aged man looked excited.
Lu Qing was impressed by him. He seemed to be speaking for Zuo Ming just now.
"I also want to compete with Commander Zuo. Sharing more martial arts will help each other improve."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
The military attache was particularly excited and active about this. Zuo Ming's reputation was one of the best in Dayu. Being able to compete with him would be a life-long regret.
The civil servants expressed their approval in a formal manner and lacked interest.
There are two completely different atmospheres between civil and military forces.
After going to court, Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance directly caught up with Su Xiang with brisk steps. The two of them were in a good mood and chatted happily along the way.
All departments are still too busy to keep their feet on the ground.
Only Lu Qing was very leisurely.
In fact, it was not leisurely at all. She was thinking about what price to put on each item.
"Bao, what do you think is the right price for this soap?"
"I don't know, Brother Huang, but you said the oil is not cheap, and our labor costs are all costs, so I think it can be set higher." Lu Yuan recently heard his brother Huang speak. , I was immersed in it and learned a lot of new words, so I expressed what I felt during this period.
"Well, you can teach me! I also think it can be set higher. Soap targets middle and high-class people as customers, so let's set it at 200 cents a piece. The soap should be more expensive, um, just one tael. A piece of silver is enough, so shampoo is worth two hundred coins, and toothpaste and tooth powder are more expensive. The one with other ingredients is not cheap, so it must be five hundred coins, otherwise even the small laborers can’t afford it.”
Lu Yuan was stunned when he heard this.
This, this, this cost is not so high. Why did the emperor set it so high? Will anyone buy it? Lu Yuan's chubby little face was full of sorrow.
"Lipstick is the most important thing. One lipstick can be used for a long time. Well, let's consider it ten taels of silver each." She will improve it later.
"Also, I need to get a logo. What should I do? How about drawing a bastard? Hey, this is fine. It's not complicated. Okay, just..."
"Brother Imperial, are you sure you want to use a tortoise for this?" Lu Yuan wanted to know if it would be too ugly and other people wouldn't want to buy it after seeing it?
"Hmm, just use this, you bastard is so cute."
Lu Yuan thought carefully for a moment, "It seems a bit cute and slow."
The first batch of goods has been shipped out, and the next step is to prepare for the opening.
