After being absent from work for a long time, Xu Fenglei, under the guidance of Yan Lide, decided on three shops in the West Market and a large house next to Jingzhao Mansion to be converted into a warehouse.
After walking around for a while, it was already evening, so I didn’t make it to the southern part of the city that I wanted to visit, so I had to wait until next time.
"Minister, I have to go back to the Ministry of Industry to handle matters, so I'll take my leave now."
Yan Lide stood in front of Xu Mansion, cupped his hands and said.
"troubled you."
Xu Fenglei patted his shoulder and said,
"After traveling with me for most of the day, placing the deposit and drafting the contract, the dignified Minister of Industry has turned out to be my errand boy."
"You have to do my job when you go back. It's hard work..."
As he spoke, he felt a little embarrassed.
Is it that I, the hands-off shopkeeper, am too "hands-off"?
"It doesn't matter..."
Yan Lide joked,
"I'm used to it, too. I just go back and stay up all night."
"Although you are the minister of the Ministry of Industry, you have the power of minister. If there are matters that need to be coordinated by other ministries, who dares to say no in your name?"
"Since you took office, I have done a very good job in the Ministry of Industry. I am a little tired, but at least I am not angry!"
Xu Fenglei couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
Hey, this kid really knows how to do things! Speak and listen.
"Good job!"
He praised,
"I will remember all your hard work. If I retire in the future, this position will be yours. I will recommend it to Your Majesty."
Everyone has worked so hard, so they have to draw a pie, right?
"Thank you for your support."
Yan Lide hurriedly said,
"There are many capable ministers in the court, so I don't ask for the rank of minister when I am lowering my official rank. I just want that there will be no mistakes in the appointment of minister."
While the two were talking, they saw several large carriages arriving one after another.
"Young Master."
The driver on the carriage dismounted, cupped his hands towards Xu Fenglei and said,
"The things that the empress said she would give you will finally be delivered to you."
Yan Lide took a closer look and was suddenly shocked.
There are at least seven or eight of these big cars in a row! So many rewards?
Looking at the coachman's appearance again, his heart trembled even more.
This is Chang He, the commander of the Forbidden Army! Founding Earl!
The empress gave a reward to her ministers, and the commander of the imperial army personally delivered the goods...
Darling, what a grand display!
"It's Chang He."
Xu Fenglei stepped forward to say hello and said with a smile,
"You're alright?"
"I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to contact you."
"Whenever you are free, let's have a drink. You can bring Ma Zhou with you. He has worked hard, but he can't remain anonymous."
After the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin reorganized the original intelligence organization and secretly established Baiqisi as the imperial secret supervision agency.
A group of people in the original team have been secretly dealt with, and there are not many old people left. Xu Fenglei and Changsun Wuji are no longer the leaders. I don’t know who the current leader is.
Of course, Xu Fenglei was too lazy to take care of intelligence work and engage in some conspiracies.
Naturally, the line with Chang He was broken.
Unexpectedly, the Queen Empress sent him to deliver the goods.
"Hahaha... Young Master is joking."
Chang He laughed loudly and said,
"How dare you, a mere commander in chief, sit and drink with your young master?"
"If there is an opportunity, we will toast you a few drinks at His Majesty's banquet to thank you for your support."
"As for Ma Zhou, Your Majesty didn't mention it, and the general didn't dare to recommend him rashly. Young Master, please don't recommend him. This is Ma Zhou's own wish... Kuang Sheng, after all, he has a bit of his own temper."
Xu Fenglei raised his eyebrows.
This old boy is quite cautious.
Knowing that his duties were sensitive and that he could not interact too closely with the ministers of the DPRK, he even refused to have a drink with him.
To be precise, I don't dare.
"……good."
He smiled lightly and said,
"Gold will always shine. With his talent, he will soon be discovered and reused by His Majesty."
"Just keep this treasure for now."
Chang He nodded and immediately cupped his hands.
"Okay, young master, the last general still has a garrison duty. I can't stay for a long time, so I'll take my leave now."
He bowed briefly, turned around and left.
Only dozens of large boxes were left, along with servants who looked embarrassed.
They tried to move it, but even with all their strength, the wooden box still didn't move at all!
"My lord, this General Chang He is very cautious."
Yan Lide whispered,
"What you say is impeccable..."
Xu Fenglei smiled casually.
"It's better to be cautious. Be careful when sailing the ship that lasts forever!"
He mused,
"Although Your Majesty is not a suspicious person today, as a forbidden general in the palace, being a solitary minister is the foundation for a stable life..."
"Chang He is a smart man, and he may be promoted."
Yan Lide nodded with deep understanding.
"A general can do this...lower officials should also learn from it."
He responded, then looked at the group of red-faced servants moving boxes, and said curiously,
"Minister, what did the Queen give you? Is it so heavy?"
Xu Fenglei turned his attention to the wooden box.
"It's nothing more than gold, silver, wealth and silk, just external things."
He stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly,
"You go ahead. If you are later, the palace will be barred."
"Yes." Yan Lide felt that he was too talkative, so he nodded in agreement, saluted and escaped.
"Don't be anxious, take your time, don't get damaged."
Xu Fenglei ordered,
"Move everyone to the inner courtyard! I'll give you extra meat tonight!"
"Yes!" The servants suddenly became motivated when they heard that there was meat to eat.
Gritting their teeth and showing blue veins on their faces, the six of them worked together to carry a large wooden box and entered the house.
…
That night.
Xu Fenglei sat on the bench with a golden knife and cooked rice. The wheat rice was covered with a few slices of fried crispy meat, which was chewy and delicious.
"Xiao Zi, Xiao Hong."
He told the maid beside him,
"You guys close the courtyard door and open these boxes."
"yes."
Several slaves walked quickly, first bolting the door, and then removing the seal on the wooden box.
Snap!
Click, click, click!
Several large wooden boxes were opened at the same time!
Uh-huh!
Xu Fenglei suddenly felt that his eyes were blurred, and his 24K titanium alloy eyes were almost blinded by the light!
"Gold...gold!"
"This box is full of gold!"
"This box is the same, and that box is also the same. They are all gold and gold bricks!"
"ah……"
Several slaves opened their eyes wide, looking at the several large boxes of gold in front of them, and fell into a sluggish state.
In their lives... no, they have never seen so much gold in their lives!
Xu Fenglei: "?!"
He thought that the box was filled with silver, which was why it was so heavy... Unexpectedly, it turned out to be gold instead of silver!
"Open! Open them all!"
he said hurriedly.
With an order, all the boxes were opened.
Without exception, they are all made of gold bricks, shining with charming colors under the moonlight and candlelight.
Xu Fenglei opened his eyes wide: "@#￥%...&@!!!"
Is this the Queen's "equity"?
Darling, a share capital of ten thousand taels of gold? !
For a moment, Xu Fenglei had the urge to step forward and hug those big boxes, and then shouted: "Er drops, er drops, they are all er drops!!!"
