"Stop flattering, come and have a good fight!"
Zhu Houzhao shouted, and then ordered Liu Jin to clean the table!
Chen Ziyu curled his lips and said reluctantly: "Your Highness, our top priority is to get cod liver oil!"
Zhu Houzhao stopped what he was doing, looked at Chen Ziyu and said disdainfully: "Old Chen, where did your cleverness go in front of my father?"
"What do you mean?" Chen Ziyu was stunned, "Your Highness, please speak clearly!"
Zhu Houzhao said lively: "If you want to get this fish or oil, do you have to prepare so many fish first? Do you have to find someone to get so many fish? I can't do it myself, right?"
When Chen Ziyu heard this, he immediately became happy. He had already thought about what classmate Xiao Zhu said, but seeing that Zhu Houzhao was in a high mood, he couldn't bear to interrupt him.
So he nodded hurriedly and said: "His Royal Highness, what you said makes sense, please continue!"
Hearing Chen Ziyu praise himself, Zhu Houzhao was even more proud. He put the playing cards on the table and said with his hands behind his back:
"As the art of war goes, before the soldiers and horses are moved, food and grass go first! I have a village in the suburbs of Beijing. When the time comes, it will be transformed into a processing workshop for fish and oil. You will be responsible for arranging the manpower. As for the fish... ....”
Zhu Houzhao pointed at Chen Ziyu with his finger. Just when he was about to say, "Leave it to you," Chen Ziyu grabbed Zhu Houzhao's hand, pointed it at Liu Jin aside, and said decisively: "Your Highness, the fish incident Leave it to Liu Jin!"
Liu Jin looked at Chen Ziyu with a confused look on his face, and then at Zhu Houzhao, thinking that eating melon would cause trouble for himself!
Suddenly he looked sad and said aggrievedly: "Your Highness, this slave can do nothing but serve you!"
"Hey, Eunuch Liu, your words are too modest!"
Chen Ziyu smiled and said pointedly.
"Chen Duwei, this servant is just a eunuch. She really can't do anything but serve people!" Liu Jin looked at Chen Ziyu with concern, trying hard to convince Chen Ziyu.
Zhu Houzhao on the side frowned and looked at the crying Liu Jin, then turned to Chen Ziyu and said: "Old Chen, he is just a slave. He can't even serve others well. Can you leave this kind of thing to him?" Why don’t you find someone reliable?”
Chen Ziyu ignored Zhu Houzhao, but gave Liu Jin a meaningful look, and continued: "This matter is your Majesty's personal decree. It is prepared for the birthday of the Empress Dowager. If Liu Eunuch is unwilling, then it is better to let Gu Father-in-law and Eunuch Zhang are coming?"
Chen Ziyu's words seemed to capture Liu Jin's fate!
As the "Eight Tigers of Zhengde", the eunuchs who also served Zhu Houzhao's daily life, Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong and others had long been unhappy with Liu Jin, and were always looking for opportunities to get Liu Jin down.
Liu Jin's expression changed slightly. Although he returned to his original state in the blink of an eye, he was still discovered by Chen Ziyu.
Looking up and seeing Chen Ziyu looking at him with a half-smile, Liu Jin took a deep breath, changed her expression to a troubled one, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, Captain, since it is for the sake of the Empress Dowager, then I will risk my life." I need to give His Highness some air!"
Zhu Houzhao didn't know what Liu Jin was thinking at all, but when he saw him acting this way and that, he scolded him quite unhappily: "How can you do this, a slave? Don't mess up things for me! Otherwise, I will kill you." Your fucking life!"
"Yes, Eunuch Liu, why don't you let Eunuch Gu and the others come?" Chen Ziyu said with a smile on his face and added jealously.
Liu Jin immediately knelt on the ground and swore: "Your Highness, please rest assured, I will definitely handle things properly!"
"Humph!" Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly, his expression softening slightly. "Since you have such a heart, I'll leave this matter to you! Remember to buy all the fish and send them all to the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing!"
"My slave obeys the order! Your Highness, Captain, may I ask how much fish you want to buy?"
Zhu Houzhao didn't know how much it would cost, so he turned his attention to Chen Ziyu.
Chen Ziyu lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Buy as many fish as there are in the entire capital. If the capital is short, go buy them nearby. Remember to ask for fish weighing more than one kilogram, no matter what kind of fish you want!"
Theoretically, cod liver oil is best extracted from deep-sea fish, especially cod and shark, but this fish is difficult to obtain and can only be obtained from ordinary fish, so the number of fish required is naturally tens of thousands!
"My slave understands, but..."
Liu Jin nodded, then hesitated again, his eyes a little evasive.
Chen Ziyu frowned, looked at him sideways, and said, "But what? Tell me if there is anything unclear!"
"This fish money..."
"..."
