Because Yangzhou's silver tickets happened to send a large part of it, Xu Changqing and Chunni's 'soup pool swimming competition' failed to make the trip after all.

It's a pity that it's really a little regretful, but Xu Changqing's goal has been achieved.

Press this girl, let her eat a trench, grow wise, change her naïve young lady's temperament, and grow up, even if she can't become the Chen family's talker immediately, at least she can't drag the Chen family back.

In fact, Xu Changqing didn't plan to do anything to this little tender girl now, at least for two or three years and understand some fun......

Back at the Hou Mansion, more than a dozen bookkeepers were 'crackling' abacus to settle the accounts, and Xu Si, the old bookkeeper of the Xu family who had just rushed from Yangzhou, was busy and whispered to Xu Changqing with joy.

At this time, the Lianghuai Salt Works were nearing the end, and the results were better than expected, but not much better, and the scale was expected to be about 24 million taels, and the final actual transaction price was about 26 million taels.

The reason for this situation is very complicated, and it is explained in one sentence, that is, 'this is very bright', which is very in line with the routine of the Ming officialdom at this time.

In this regard, Xu Changqing will not delve into it.

If you want to achieve what kind of efficiency, you must first look at the configuration, and you can't always think about the speed of the Ferrari with the configuration of the bike, right?

These people are actually working very hard to promote this matter, and it should be Xu Changqing's people who have given a tael of silver, how could Xu Changqing rashly flip the table?

According to the original share, Xu Changqing occupies five percent, that is, fifteen percent, and the accounts on the surface should be three million and nine million taels.

But at this time, Xu Si sent over more than four million taels, plus the first batch of those sent, Xu Changqing's total share has reached about five and a half million taels, which is already full, so what is there to be dissatisfied?

Coupled with the benefits sent in advance by Lunan Commercial Bank, Fan Yongdou and others in the early stage, even if you don't count the Chen family's side, Xu Changqing's harvest in this battle is already close to 10 million taels!

Definitely a windfall!

Of course, for various reasons, the silver at this time is a bit 'hairy', and the inflation in the entire Ming Dynasty is a bit powerful, which is 10 million taels, which may not be as good as the five million at the end of the Apocalypse and the beginning of Chongzhen, but it is already amazing enough.

Anyway, Xu Changqing no longer has to worry about silver in a short period of time, not only can he build new ships, but also carry out more infrastructure and trade in Haicheng.

Although Zheng Chagu faintly regarded herself as Xu Changqing's main room at this time, she did not sleep in the same room as Xu Changqing.

However, seeing that Xu Changqing came back so early today, and was busy until almost midnight, she was in a good mood, and she specially cooked some lotus seed soup for Xu Changqing to make supper.

……

A good night's sleep.

The next morning, he had some exchanges with some local officers in Nanjing, and Xu Changqing's mission to Nanjing was basically completed.

On the Chen family's side, Xu Changqing didn't need to go over for an interview in person, the old monk Chen Yuguo was in good health, and he could last at least a few years.

With him in charge, the logs from the small fishing village in Zhejiang will soon be transported to the Haicheng Shipyard, and some of the backbone of their Chen family will also join the newly established Zhenjiang Water Division as soon as possible.

As for Tan Jian, Xu Changqing stuffed him into the Yangzhou Water Division, which was also newly established.

This time, the entire military system in Jiangnan has been straightened out, basically everyone has a seat in the account, even if the imperial court has to increase a lot of expenses, but more than 10 million taels of silver have entered the treasury, who of them dares to say anything?

I took care of all the chores, and it was already afternoon.

Xu Changqing didn't want to go to Jingyang Palace again, just find someone to send the silver ticket to Empress Xiao Zhou, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided to go over in person.

Queen Xiao Zhou's temperament is really a bit extreme, and she is really ruthless, she is so cruel to herself, let alone to others.

If Xu Changqing wants to say goodbye to her without saying goodbye......

It is not unusual for her to prick Xu Changqing twice a day......

When he came to the imperial city, Xu Changqing first went to meet Zhu Cihong, which can be regarded as an early resignation, including a summary of some follow-up affairs.

After reporting to Zhu Cihong, Xu Changqing came to Jingyang Palace.

Because the news was spread in advance, on the side of Jingyang Palace, Empress Xiao Zhou has been waiting for Xu Changqing for a long time.

She changed into a new outfit today, as if she had been carefully dressed.

Wearing an emerald delicate cheongsam that was obviously from Haicheng Garment Factory, a snow-white swan neck with an emerald bead chain hanging around her neck, and her hairstyle was also carefully designed, which was a lot more graceful, cleverly covering up most of her fierce temperament.

From a distance, it looks like a Jiangnan person who came out of the painting.

Even Xu Changqing was also stunned.

I couldn't help but secretly say in my heart: "This little girl's skin is really good at dressing up, and she is too good at seducting......"

After saluting and saying a few simple greetings, Xu Changqing was a little afraid to look at her dazzling snow-white long legs, for fear that this little lady would have something he couldn't carry, so he hurriedly took out the remaining one million taels of silver tickets, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, the minister is fortunate not to be dishonored, this is one million taels, and please ask the Queen Mother to check it." ”

As soon as the confidant palace maid beside Empress Xiao Zhou saw this large stack of silver tickets, her legs couldn't stop and began to weaken, and the whole person was not good, so she didn't dare to come over to pick it up.

She's never seen so much money in her ten lifetimes......

Even Queen Xiao Zhou was a little difficult to say for a while.

Xu Changqing had already given her 200,000 taels earlier, plus the current million taels...... What is this concept?

Even if she is beaten into the cold palace by Zhu Cihong now, she doesn't have to worry about it in this life.

Really!

Sure enough, that!

hugged Xu Changqing's big thick legs, the whole life was different, no wonder even the old demon woman was skinless and faceless to stick to Xu Changqing......

This man may have such and such shortcomings, but the kind of responsibility that belongs to men, he is definitely the best among the best!

"Chun Tao, what are you doing stupidly? Do you want Master Hou to wait for you here? ”

"......"

Chun Tao reacted at this time, every step was comparable to a thousand jun, and there was a little swing all over her body, and she came over very carefully to catch this thick stack of silver tickets.

Seeing that Empress Xiao Zhou received the silver ticket, Xu Changqing felt a lot more relieved, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, after the day after tomorrow, after the Great Dynasty will be rewarded, the minister will return to Haicheng, and today I will say goodbye to the Queen Mother in advance." If the queen has no objection to this account, the minister will retire first. ”

Empress Xiao Zhou suddenly looked at Xu Changqing with resentment, "Master Hou, you have worked so hard for this palace for so long and given such a lot of benefits to this palace, how can you leave without a cup of tea?" Chun Tao, don't you go and serve tea to Hou Ye! ”

"Yes......"

Chun Tao hurriedly got up and went to serve tea, but he was careless, and fell to the ground with an "ouch" sound, and hurriedly ran out.

After Chun Tao left, Queen Xiao Zhou looked at Xu Changqing faintly and said, "What?" Think I'm a liability? Don't want to look at me more? ”

“……”

Xu Changqing couldn't help scolding in his heart, he had long expected it to be like this, but if he didn't come, he couldn't do it......

If there is a regret medicine sold in the world, Xu Changqing will definitely not have anything to do with this goblin-like woman. Pity......

The wood has become a boat, and one misstep has become a thousand years of hatred......

"It's not ...... I'm a little busy, and I'm afraid that I'll delay your side of things, I just came from the Heart Cultivation Palace......"

Xu Changqing said with a smile, he really didn't dare to stimulate Queen Xiao Zhou's nerves.

Even if a powerful person is worried about such a female outlaw, or a female outlaw like a soul seduction, how can he not be careful and careful......

"Huh."

Empress Xiao Zhou sneered, stood up by herself, and Ying Ying walked in front of Xu Changqing: "Am I so terrible?" Or will someone lie to a woman and just don't care about anything? ”

'Me @#¥%!! ’

Xu Changqing had the urge to vomit blood for a while, and he didn't want to look at her attractive long legs, but he had no other angle at all, so he could only watch her two snow-white long legs getting closer and closer......

Fortunately, at this time, Chun Tao finally brought the tea, which made Xu Changqing breathe a sigh of relief, returned a mouthful of blood, and said busily: "The matter of Emperor Wudi Temple that day happened to be reported to the queen mother......

Seeing that Xu Changqing didn't dare to disobey her after all, and no longer rashly mentioned leaving, the corners of Empress Xiao Zhou's delicate mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, and she waved her hand at Chun Tao.

Chun Tao held this large stack of silver tickets and obediently returned to count the money.

Empress Xiao Zhou glanced at Xu Changqing, and said shyly and worriedly: "That day, are you okay?" ”

Seeing that she took control of the initiative again with a snap of her fingers, Xu Changqing was no longer able to vomit, and couldn't help but think of the famous saying of later generations: "If you can't resist, then ...... Enjoy......"

But this thing is extraordinary, Xu Changqing doesn't want to be put in the groove by this little girl, the two finished playing together, and whispered: "What the hell do you want to do?" Isn't it fragrant for us to live in peace? Do you have to put everyone in danger and dance on the edge of the cliff? ”

Empress Xiao Zhou suddenly smiled: "What, are you afraid?" I'm not afraid of a weak woman, is it possible that you are the marquis of Haicheng, the hero of the world, but you will be afraid? ”

As she spoke, she took two more steps forward, and Ying Ying Youxiang suddenly rushed straight to Xu Changqing's heart, and Ying Ying smiled: "If you say you're scared, I'll let you go." ”

“……”

Xu Changqing wanted to strangle this goblin, but he didn't dare to stimulate her, and said in a low voice: "Now that the palace is not peaceful, you should be careful in everything." Feel free to write to me if you need anything. When the situation in Nanjing is stabilized, we still have many opportunities. Be obedient, don't be rash. Otherwise, I won't be able to protect you, what should I do? ”

"It's like a human saying."

Empress Xiao Zhou glanced at Xu Changqing with disgust, her expression changed suddenly, and she said stupidly: "But, every night, I can't stop thinking about what you should do?" ”

“……”

Xu Changqing glanced around, and saw that the hall was very quiet, and there was no one around, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but whisper: "Before I leave, when can you go out of the palace again?" Look at how Lao Tzu cleans you up! ”

"Giggles."

Empress Xiao Zhou smiled coquettishly, whispered a few words in Xu Changqing's ear, and immediately, Xu Changqing's big hand landed on her slender waist......

"Forehead ......"

Xu Changqing was stunned on the spot as if he had been electrocuted......

……

Half an hour later, Xu Changqing walked out of the gate of Jingyang Palace, but the whole person was a little weak......

At this time, Xu Changqing was no longer able to complain.

It's already like this, let it be, love it.

Being able to ensure that Empress Xiao Zhou is not pregnant is already his greatest effort, and he can be regarded as worthy of Zhu Cihong, and Xu Changqing is too lazy to think about these bloody things.

But I couldn't help but sigh, why did the sages say: "Once you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea." ”

The deep house in the imperial city looks high-end and majestic, but how can ordinary people control the water inside?

Behind this high-end majesty, who can know how much filth and blood there is!

……

On the ninth day of the first day of November, Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying and others all returned from Yangzhou, and the reward went very smoothly, and they were all happy.

Although the official approval of the Zhenjiang Naval Division and the Yangzhou Naval Division will take some time, and the quota will be officially confirmed after the quota on the imperial court's side, the preliminary work on both sides has been done, and Xu Changqing no longer worries.

At noon on the day when the Great Dynasty finished rewarding, Xu Changqing directly ordered all the people and returned to Haicheng.

Because Zheng Chagu was going to return to Anping by water, she could forcibly follow Xu Changqing and wait until Yangzhou to separate.

Camping by the river that night, Xu Changqing was about to do his best to complete the final agreement with Zheng Chagu, and educate this girl well, Tan Jian suddenly passed a message that he had found the whereabouts of Chunni's father Chen Bingchun!
