Bai Jiujiu took another quilt and covered him with it: "Would this be better?" Then he looked at his house and said, "Since you will get cold all over when you are sick, why don't you build a fireplace and a hot bed in your room? You

You care about whether the people can stay warm through the winter, but you don't care about yourself. I don't know whether to call you stupid or selfless.

I'll have someone do it for you tomorrow, free of charge."

"Are you feeling better now? Is it still cold?" Bai Jiujiu asked.

"It's much better. Princess, please go back and rest! I'm fine." For some reason, when he heard she was leaving just now, he pretended to be uncomfortable and lied to her. Even he found it incredible.

"Okay, then I'm leaving. Considering how uncomfortable you are tonight, I won't argue with you about the fact that you almost tainted me, but you'd better come up with a way to make up for it, otherwise I will always remember this.

of.

You can rest! Good night." She waved to him and left. Knowing that he was controlled by poison in his body to treat her like that, the anger in her heart had dissipated. It would be better if he meant to compensate, but if he didn't, she would admit it.

"Good night?" The man repeated these two words. Although it was the first time he heard this word, he could probably guess the meaning. She has really changed a lot now.

Xuanyuan Jin stood up and walked to the window, watched her figure walking out of Zhaoyang Courtyard, and murmured: "She is just a pawn on the road to power. Don't be affected by her."

After calming down, he said to himself: He couldn't see through Bai Jiujiu now, so it was difficult for him to judge whether her words were true or false.

Although the eyes are sincere, who can be sure that they are not acting.

After so many years of planning, it cannot be ruined in the hands of a woman. If she and the Queen and the Prince had discussed all this and believed it, everything would be beyond redemption.

Bai Jiujiu walked out of Zhaoyangyuan and looked back, murmuring: "This guy still doesn't believe in himself. How can we win his trust?"

The people from the Ministry of Punishment quickly identified the murderer of the Imperial Censor. It was his housekeeper who first put poison in the Imperial Censor's medicine and then caused an accidental fire.

The reason why the housekeeper did this was because the Censor knew about his bribery, and the Censor was about to send him to the government. He overheard the conversation between the Censor and his wife, so he wanted to kill him.

In fact, Bai Jiujiu knew that these were just excuses made by the housekeeper. In fact, he had been bribed by the queen a long time ago. It was found out that the death of the censor was not accidental, but a homicide, so he pushed someone to take the blame.

As for the assassination of King Duan, the emperor sent the imperial guards to investigate the matter and must find out who was behind it.

At this morning's court meeting, Xuanyuan Jin proposed that the Fire Patrol Department add the position of fire dispatcher and explained the importance of this position to the emperor in detail.

After the emperor heard this, Long Yan was delighted and agreed to Xuanyuan Jin's proposal, letting him take full responsibility for the matter.

Seeing that his son's thoughts were focused on the Fire Patrol Division, the emperor was pleased and relieved.

You must know that if a person with military power suddenly takes away his military power and puts him in charge of a small fire patrol department, he may be dissatisfied and resentful. He is just coping with this job, so the emperor has always been unfavorable to his son.

Don't worry, seeing his attitude and intentions towards the Fire Patrol Division today, he feels a lot more relieved.

The death of Mr. Censor was solved in this way. Some people felt regretful, while others were gloating about the misfortune.

New problems came again, another wave of cold wave struck, and along with the blizzard, it swept through most of the country. For a time, many refugees poured into the capital, looking for shelter.

This is a big test for the court.

If some refugees freeze to death due to this cold wave, it will definitely cause panic among the people, fearing that what happened during the Wenli period of the previous dynasty will happen again.

The previous dynasty lost the support of the people because of that cold wave, and the country's fortunes declined ever since.

The remnants of the previous dynasty have not been completely eliminated. If they seize this opportunity to slander the imperial court, it will be very detrimental to the imperial court.

Therefore, the task of dealing with the influx of refugees into the capital due to the cold wave has become a hot potato, and no one wants to take on this task.

As the Minister of Household Affairs, Nangong You must stand up at this time.

The Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of land, household registration, military supplies, salaries, food and wages across the country. Therefore, this cold wave caused many people to be unable to stay in their cold homes and flooded into the capital in search of a chance of survival. The Ministry of Household Affairs has the responsibility to ensure that the people have enough food and clothing.

"Your Majesty, I would like to take charge of the inevitable influx of people from the capital this time." Nangong You volunteered.

The emperor was very pleased to see this, and Long Yan said happily: "Okay, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue has volunteered to share my worries. If this matter can be solved smoothly, I will definitely reward you heavily."

Upon seeing this, the Prime Minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I propose that His Royal Highness Duan Wang and Lord Nangong take charge of this matter together. Refugees are flooding into the capital due to the cold wave. Many refugees have nowhere to go. Building fires everywhere to keep warm can easily cause fires. Once a fire breaks out,

Not only will it cause heavy losses to the people in the city, but it may also cause burns and death accidents, giving some unscrupulous people an opportunity to spread rumors.

Prince Duan is now in charge of the Fire Patrol Department and should assist Master Nangong in handling this matter."

Prime Minister Feng still holds a grudge because Xuanyuan Jin made him embarrassed in public at the Queen Mother's birthday party last time!

So he suggested that Xuanyuan Jin also touch this hot potato.

In fact, it's not that Xuanyuan Jin doesn't want to get involved in this matter. He knows that this matter is not easy to solve. As a friend, he wants to help Nangong You solve it together. However, if he takes the initiative to ask for help, he is worried that it will arouse his father's suspicion.

This matter seems to be a hot potato. If it is solved, it will win the hearts of the people, so he cannot take the initiative to talk about it.

But he knew that people from the prince's faction would definitely recommend him, so he waited calmly.

The emperor nodded after listening to Prime Minister Feng's suggestion: "What the Prime Minister said makes sense. Prince Duan, you and Nangong Aiqing will handle this matter together. When the matter is completed, I will give you a heavy reward."

"It's Father." Xuanyuan Jin accepted the matter logically.

A proud smile flashed across Feng Shangwen's eyes.

Xuanyuan Jin and Nangong You looked at each other, with smiles of success in their eyes.

The business of Bai Jiujiu's department store is booming, especially for items to keep out the cold, which are often in short supply.

Many businessmen wanted to cooperate with them, so Bai Jiujiu decided to increase production and open a chain store when he was able.

Cotton-padded jackets, quilts and down jackets, and down quilts have become popular items that wealthy people are snapping up.

Now they have launched goose down jackets, down quilts, and cashmere quilts.

The cold wave hit again, and the goods were quickly sold out.

Xuanyuan Fengyi counted his income every day and was so happy that he thought that cooperating with Bai Jiujiu was the most correct choice he had ever made in his life.

However, due to the cooling of the temperature, many refugees poured into the capital. The imperial court ordered that the road to Beijing be temporarily blocked to control the large influx of refugees into the capital.

This incident is very detrimental to Bai Jiujiu's store.

Because the raw materials for many of their goods are purchased from other places, blocking the way to Beijing, many of their materials cannot enter the capital and cannot be produced.

Especially the recent batch of cotton, duck down, and goose down were blocked on the road and could not reach the capital smoothly, which caused great losses to them. Many clothes and quilts were ordered in advance. If they cannot be delivered within the specified time, they will be compensated.

Big money.

If they miss this cold wave, they will have a backlog of goods and occupy funds, which is also very disadvantageous for them.

Hearing that in the morning meeting today, the emperor asked Nangong You and Xuanyuan Jin to take charge of the refugee affairs, Bai Jiujiu felt that an opportunity had come.

Since he is one of our own, I hope he can open a back door and be accommodating.
Chapter completed!
