Chapter 129 The Queen Relieves Her Worries
"Little bastard, why are there so many?"
Yuwenrou slapped Chen Dong coquettishly and rinsed her mouth with tea.
Chen Dong let out a long sigh, and his tense and depressed emotions immediately eased a lot.
He hugged Yu Wenrou and said with pity, "Thank you for your hard work."
Yu Wenrou held Chen Dong's face and sneered, "Why are you being so polite to me? Just do more work later."
Chen Dong kissed Yu Wenrou hard on the lips. Her soft lips softened Chen Dong's heart.
Yu Wenrou hooked her arm around Chen Dong's neck and asked softly, "Did something happen to you?"
Chen Dong sighed in his heart, "Sister really knows how to care for people."
He did not hide anything and told Yuwen Rou the result of the divination in the classics room.
Yu Wenrou smiled and said, "I thought it was a big deal. The Northern Expedition is the top priority for Dayan. One more person won't make a big difference, and one less person won't make a big difference. Isn't it okay if you don't go?"
Chen Dong said honestly: "I want to achieve great things."
Yu Wenrou poked Chen Dong in the chest and said, "You men! You are all greedy!"
"You are now a viscount, the commander of the Imperial Guard, and a favorite of His Majesty. It is no exaggeration to say that you are in the highest position among the ministers. Are you still not satisfied with this?"
"How many people spend their entire lives trying to get even a fraction of the position you hold."
Chen Dong smiled bitterly and said, "If there is no opportunity, then forget it. This is an opportunity that I personally promoted. How can I not participate?"
I come, I see, I conquer!
In the past, we had no choice but to survive.
It’s different now, he has a chance to show his abilities!
Moreover, he was unwilling to be just a little eunuch in the eyes of others.
Yuwen Wuji's previous contempt, Prince Jing Yan Yunfeng's arrogance, and those upright people who kept calling him "eunuch" were all reasons that prompted Chen Dong to make up his mind.
Yu Wenrou sighed and held Chen Dong's hand tightly. She vaguely guessed what Chen Dong was thinking. She had also felt the same unwillingness to admit defeat and unwillingness to give up.
"Then go ahead. I will always stand behind you!" Yu Wenrou said with a firm face, "If anything happens to you, wait for me on the Yellow Spring Road."
Yuwenrou's words were like a sharp sword that pierced Chen Dong's heart. Her thoughtfulness and touching expression made Chen Dong's eyes slightly red, and he even had the urge to burst into tears.
"If you are like this, I really can't leave you." Chen Dong hugged Yu Wenrou tightly and kissed her lips affectionately.
Yuwen Rou was like a pool of spring water, melting in Chen Dong's passionate kiss and embrace.
Those hot tears can eliminate all regrets in the world.
Chen Dong stayed overnight in Yuwen Rou's bedroom, which made her skin smoother and more tender. The depression in his heart also disappeared because of her gentleness and passion.
Three poles in the sun.
Chen Dong and Yu Wenrou lay on the bed and smiled at each other.
"Little bastard, get up quickly." Yu Wenrou drew circles on Chen Dong's muscular chest.
Chen Dong grabbed her fingers and interlocked theirs.
"When I return safely, I will take you back to Chenjiazhuang, and we will stay in bed every day." Chen Dong kissed Yu Wenrou on the face.
Yuwenrou rolled her eyes at Chen Dong, "You're still talking about Chenjiazhuang! The village chief goes to the Yuwen Family Chamber of Commerce three times a day, and the shopkeeper sends me letters to complain!"
Chen Dong raised his eyebrows, "Chen Shou is getting anxious. Let's go to the Chamber of Commerce and have a seat."
The two of them got dressed and washed, then left the palace together and headed straight for the Yuwen family's Chamber of Commerce.
In order to avoid suspicion, the Yuwen family’s Chamber of Commerce uses the sign of “Yu Family Chamber of Commerce”, but who among those doing business in Yanjing City doesn’t know the owner behind it?
No one is so blind as to dare to cause trouble.
Although Chen Shou was anxious, he could only beg Manager Yu desperately and did not dare to use force.
Shopkeeper Yu was so annoyed that he complained to Yuwen Rou, but he did not expect that the Queen's precious daughter would actually come.
"Greetings, Her Majesty!" Shopkeeper Yu said in surprise.
"Greetings, Madam." Chen Shou was also surprised, "Greetings, Lord Chen."
Yu Wenrou put her right hand on Chen Dong's arm and was helped into the shop by him.
There was a ginkgo tree planted in the yard of the shop, and Chen Shou and Manager Yu were originally staying in the pavilion under the tree.
After entering the pavilion, Yu Wenrou sat on a stone bench and glanced at Shopkeeper Yu, "Did I delay your business?"
Shopkeeper Yu hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you've come at the right time. This Village Chief Chen is almost driving me crazy."
Chen Shou smiled awkwardly.
With the purchase price doubled, who wouldn’t be tempted?
"Lord Chen, I went to the Jinyiwei to look for you, but you were not there. I could only try my luck here with Shopkeeper Yu." Chen Shou said.
Chen Dong spread his hands.
Chen Shou immediately took out the list from his arms and handed it over respectfully.
After re-counting, Chenjiazhuang had 816 farming households and a total population of 3012 people, including more than young and middle-aged people.
Chen Dong returned the list and asked, "Do you know about your majesty's new policy?"
Chen Shou nodded repeatedly and said with a happy face: "Your Majesty is indeed a famous monarch throughout the ages. After the new policy is implemented, the taxes that the village is expected to pay will be reduced by more than half."
"What's the situation in Liangjiazhuang and Zhaojiazhuang?" Chen Dong asked.
"Of course we cooperated with the police to register." Chen Shou said with a smile, "The villages around Yanjing City all cooperated very well. Although the big landlords were reluctant, they had no choice but to cooperate honestly and did not dare to do anything."
After all, we are at the feet of the Emperor.
The Jinyiwei killed so many people that it was still very intimidating. Even if those noble families were angry, they dared not speak out.
As for those remote places, it depends on whether their necks are tough or the swords of the Jinyiwei are fast.
"Manager Yu, General Yuwen has given any instructions, right?" Chen Dong said.
Shopkeeper Yu said respectfully, "The eldest master has ordered that as long as the Lord opens his mouth, the brown sugar from Chenjiazhuang will be purchased at double the price."
Chen Shou's face lit up with joy, and his gray eyebrows almost flew up.
"Thank you, lord, and thank you, Manager Yu." Chen Shou said.
"Tell the villagers to bring the brown sugar over and we'll make the deal right away when we see the goods," said Shopkeeper Yu.
"Okay, okay, I'll go back and arrange it right away." Chen Shou agreed readily.
"Lord, do you want to go back to the village? Dashi and the others are planning to build a mansion for you."
Chen Dong waved his hand, "Just make the arrangements as you see fit."
Chenjiazhuang, Liangjiazhuang and Zhaojiazhuang are located between Yanzhou and Youzhou. By passing through Qingfeng Mountain behind Chenjiazhuang, you can go directly to Pingbei County, which borders Youzhou and the Northern Barbarians.
Strategic location.
Chen Dong naturally attaches great importance to Chenjiazhuang, otherwise he would also have warned Chen Shou and others.
After sending Chen Shou away, Chen Dong and Yu Wenrou sat for a while.
Under Chen Dong's instructions, Shopkeeper Yu took out a small jar of each of the best wines in the Chamber of Commerce.
However, after seeing Chen Shou, Chen Dong suddenly remembered something.
"It's all Wen Xuan's fault. Why did she tell fortunes for no reason? She almost delayed the important business." Chen Dong said in his heart.
Chen Dong took Yu Wenrou to the clinic to settle accounts with Wen Xuan.
Also do something serious.
