Chapter 317 Good Business
Suddenly, a loud laugh erupted from the empty hall.
Xie Rong stood up suddenly and said, "Great! What a great Princess Jialin! What a great Shen family!"
He looked at Shen Qionghua and asked, "Where are your food supplies?"
"In Licheng, according to my previous plan, the grain and fodder have only just arrived in Licheng. My people should still be looking for shops, and the grain should not have started selling yet."
"If Your Majesty thinks my method is feasible, I can send a pigeon to the person in charge in Licheng when I return home. The news will be delivered within three days. Even if the sale has already started, not many will be sold." Shen Qionghua said.
Licheng is one of the cities closest to the border.
This is also the city that Shen Qionghua specially selected.
It takes a day and a half to go from the border to Licheng and back.
"Just do as you say!" Xie Rong laughed. It seemed that the problem of food and grass had been solved, and he felt much better.
After a pause, he looked at Shen Qionghua and said, "County Lady Jialin, how much silver is your batch of grain? I will have the Ministry of Revenue send someone to deliver it to the Shen family."
Shen Qionghua was not stupid, so how could she dare to snatch food from the tiger's mouth? She had already prepared herself to lose this money.
Therefore, she smiled and declined, "Your Majesty, you are joking. Your Majesty is busy with the affairs of state and works tirelessly for the country. As a citizen of the country, I enjoy the country's protection and it is my duty to do what I can for the country. Why do you want to take money?"
"Consider these grains as the Shen family's donation to the border troops, to help the soldiers. I hope they can drive the soldiers of Chen out of Yue as soon as possible and return victorious."
Shen Qionghua's words were very beautiful, and Xie Rong felt very comfortable.
"Great! What a triumphant return! They say all merchants are dishonest, but I think the Shen family is different. If all merchants in Yue Kingdom were as conscious as the Shen family, then my Great Yue would surely become more and more prosperous."
"County Lady Jialin, you have performed a great service this time and solved my urgent problem. Let me think about how to reward you." Xie Rong said.
Shen Qionghua repeatedly declined, "Your Majesty, this is what the Shen family should do. There's no need for a reward, right?"
"Hey, I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. You should be rewarded for solving the problem of food and grass. What reward should I give you? Let me think about it." Xie Rong frowned as if thinking.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, he picked up the wolf-hair brush and wrote something on the rice paper, then put the brush down and looked at it carefully, revealing a satisfied smile.
Shouted: "Li Shunquan!"
"I'm here!" Li Shunquan immediately stepped forward and said.
Xie Rong handed the piece of rice paper to Li Shunquan and said, "Make it into a plaque and send it to the Shen family."
Li Shunquan took the rice paper and saw the words on it. A flash of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he quickly replied, "Yes! I'll go right away!"
Li Shunquan took the rice paper and left. Xie Rong then looked at Shen Qionghua and said, "The Shen family has helped me out in times of need, preferring to cut their own profits rather than oppress the people. This way of dealing with the world is extremely rare. How can they not be considered good businessmen?"
"I personally wrote the words 'Good Merchant' and presented them to the Shen family. I will later make a plaque and send it to the Shen family. I hope the Shen family will guard against arrogance and keep their original aspirations."
Shen Qionghua was surprised when she heard the emperor's words.
She originally registered the escort agency just to ensure that the food could be properly presented in the border military camps, and asked the secret guards to rent shops as soon as they arrived in Licheng, and she even came to the palace to offer advice.
I didn't expect to get anything in return. I thought that the emperor would at most reward me with some jewelry or fabrics as a token of his grace.
After all, the value of these grains is far less than the 3 million taels of disaster relief silver last time, and it is not enough for the emperor to give her any big reward.
But I didn't expect that the emperor would bestow the title of "good businessman" upon me.
Although it is of little use, it is better than nothing.
At least, next time if Lin Xiyan dares to talk nonsense in Shidinglou again and say that Shidinglou is a black shop, she can use the imperial title of "good businessman" to slap Lin Xiyan in the face.
Thinking of this, Shen Qionghua smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
The border grain issue was resolved, and Xie Rong obviously had no more time to talk about sex. He waved his hand and said, "Go away. Someone will take you out of the palace."
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Shen Qionghua said, slowly leaving the inner hall.
Seeing her come out, the eunuch who had just led her out immediately came forward to greet her, "Princess Jialin, I will escort you out of the palace."
Shen Qionghua nodded, "Thank you for your help, eunuch."
Shen Qionghua followed the young eunuch outside, but was stopped when she passed by Xie Qian'an.
"Shen Qionghua!"
The snow was getting heavier. Xie Qian'an was asking for trouble, but the emperor seemed to ignore him.
After standing for such a long time, Concubine Zhou was fine. She was warming her hands with a hot water bottle under the eaves. However, Xie Qian'an was not in such a good condition. His face was pale from the cold.
Shen Qionghua stopped and looked sideways at Xie Qian'an.
Xie Qianan pursed his cracked lips and asked, "What did you say to the emperor?"
Just now, Li Shunquan came out with a piece of paper in his hand, smiling widely. Now that Shen Qionghua came out, her expression also looked much more relaxed.
Xie Qian'an intuitively knew what had happened.
And this matter should not be considered a good thing for him.
Shen Qionghua raised an eyebrow, "Why, Your Highness Prince An is afraid that I will ruin your plans?"
Xie Qianan snorted coldly, "Just you?"
"Since His Royal Highness Prince An doesn't take me seriously, why are you asking me?" Shen Qionghua said.
"But if Your Highness Prince An really wants to know, I can tell you..."
Xie Qian'an's eyebrows twitched, and he moved towards Shen Qionghua without any expression.
Shen Qionghua immediately took two steps back in disgust, covering her mouth and saying, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I just remembered that I can't talk about the emperor's affairs casually. Otherwise, if the emperor investigates, I won't be able to chop off my head even if I have ten heads."
"Your Highness Prince An, if you want to know so much, why not ask the Emperor yourself?"
After saying that, without even looking at Xie Qian'an's reaction, he followed the young eunuch away.
