Chapter seven hundred and seventieth request agreed
Jiang Xingchen couldn't help but be surprised. Not only did the old man ask him to agree to help solve the empire's drought problem, he also asked him to make a request to the emperor, which was to read the palace's classics.
It's understandable for Jiang Xingchen to solve the drought problem, after all, even Tang Chuxue wrote to him. But this has something to do with reading the palace classics.
Furthermore, the palace's classics may contain some secrets about the royal family. It is said that family scandals should not be made public. Can they be allowed to read them? And what use will reading those classics do to you?
It won't have any effect at all, and it may cause the emperor to misunderstand, so he is too full to make this request.
However, when Jiang Xingchen turned to the second page, he finally understood what the old man was thinking. The old guy was still thinking about plum blossoms.
"Didn't he say that he couldn't remember where he saw the record of plum blossoms? Why did he want to look at the ancient books collected by the palace? Did he remember that he had seen it in the palace before?"
Jiang Xingchen's mind was filled with questions, but the old man didn't write too clearly in the letter!
Next, Jiang Xingchen fell into deep thought. If the old man mentioned plum blossoms in the past, he would not be moved at all. Instead, he would be worried about the danger. After all, the old man had played hanging once.
But it was different now. He fully felt the difficulty of improving the formation. He really felt that he couldn't bear the consumption of hundreds of thousands of yuan stones. This time, he got a lot of money through horse racing and blackmail. What about the future?
Such an opportunity is rare to come across once in a lifetime.
Not to mention, he can imagine the role of the material detection array later. It started with groundwater locating, and will definitely play a greater role in the future, including rubber products, mineral analysis, etc. This is definitely a key step for science and technology to move forward. It is also
A key point in building a modern city.
In other words, now the old man is not only coveting plum blossoms. He is also very excited.
"But how can I tell the emperor?" Jiang Xingchen murmured, scratching his head. This request is not high, but it is too easy for people to misunderstand. There is no way that there are some dirty things in the inner courtyard of the palace. You are asking like this.
, no matter what the emperor thinks, anyone will think you have evil intentions.
"It's troublesome~" Jiang Xingchen sighed, complaining to the old man in his heart: "You old man can easily touch your lips and rub your lips, but I am the one who has the most difficulty... However, the Emperor should agree after he is angry. As a person
Great Emperor, you should know that I don't mean what he thinks..."
Jiang Xingchen then sent out several letters in succession.
One day later, the emperor who was far away in the capital of the empire couldn't sit still. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and water consumption in various places had reached its limit, but Jiang Xingchen hadn't replied yet. If this continued, the bankers would die of drought.
"What on earth did Jiang Xingchen do, and whether it will work or not, you have to give me an accurate answer!" The emperor slammed the table heavily angrily.
It is reasonable that Jiang Xingchen cannot solve the drought. Although he hopes for it, he does not give all hope. But now Jiang Xingchen has not even replied, which is too much. After all, I am also the emperor, and you are too careless.
I took it seriously.
"Report!" A man in black ran into the hall. He knelt down on one knee and said, "Great Emperor, the second prince is asking for an audience outside the hall!"
"Oh! Could it be that Jiang Xingchen has the news!" The emperor's eyes lit up and he quickly ordered: "Let him in quickly!"
Soon the second prince entered the hall. When the emperor saw the solemn expression on his face, his heart couldn't help but asked: "Why, is there nothing Jiang Xingchen can do?"
The second prince smiled bitterly and said, "Father, Jiang Xingchen said he could solve it..."
"Huh~" The emperor exhaled suddenly and laughed: "It would be great if I can solve it. I know this kid has a solution!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the second prince continue: "But Jiang Xingchen said that he can't control the entire empire, only a few territories!"
"Just a few territories will be enough, as long as the food production areas are guaranteed!" the emperor said with a smile.
"But..." The second prince hesitated and stuttered a bit.
"What do you want to say?" The emperor's smile faded and he frowned.
"Um...Jiang Xingchen has another request!" The second prince's voice became lower and lower.
"Whatever the request is, as long as it is not too excessive, I will agree to it!" The emperor waved his hand and was able to solve the drought problem. He was in a good mood.
"The conditions are not excessive, but... he... he asked to see the royal family's secret collection of classics!"
"What?" The emperor's eyes suddenly widened. He never expected that Jiang Xingchen would propose such a condition.
The next moment, the emperor turned his face, slammed the table, and said loudly: "What is this bastard going to do? Do you want to know the secrets of my royal family? He is so brave!"
No wonder the emperor would be like this, just as Jiang Xingchen himself expected, his first reaction would be like this.
"Father! Calm down your anger, calm down..."
"Stop my anger! What does Jiang Xingchen mean? Is this provocation or manipulation? He really thinks he..." The emperor suddenly stopped here.
"No!" After the emperor became furious, he calmed down and got to know Jiang Xingchen better. Although this little bastard was a little shady, it was impossible for him to do such a spying thing, and he was still blatantly snooping.
.
"Father! I don't think Jiang Xingchen wants to spy on the royal family, but wants to find some kind of information!" The second prince interrupted at this time.
"It's possible!" The emperor nodded and said angrily: "If you want to find information, just say so. Why do you have to say something that will make people misunderstand!"
"Is this information...he doesn't want us to know what it is?" the second prince asked.
"Don't worry about what it is, tell him, let me solve the drought problem before we start!" The emperor said, his tone already agreed with Jiang Xingchen's view of the secret book.
The second prince blinked and asked, "Then let's let him see it like this?"
"Of course not. You can go to the secret warehouse later and put away some things that cannot be known to outsiders!" the emperor said.
"Ah?" The second prince was dumbfounded, why did he end up doing such a job! Thinking about the mountains of white silk piled up in the secret warehouse, his head felt swollen.
"Well, Father, you see, I still have to be responsible for the monthly magazine! In the past two days, I heard from people that due to lack of water, some places have begun to invite sacrifices from the Southern Wilderness to hold ceremonies to worship the gods. This is not a good phenomenon.
, I have to find a way to write an article to appease..." The second prince certainly doesn't want to do this thankless job. If one of them is confiscated and Jiang Xingchen sees it, he will definitely be the unlucky one in the end.
"Stop talking nonsense, since Jiang Xingchen already has news, why should I use you to write a manuscript? Get this matter done immediately!" The emperor did not listen to the second prince's explanation at all, and left the palace hall with a flick of his sleeves.
The second prince watched the emperor's back disappear, tears welling up in his eyes, and finally a plaintive cry burst out of his mouth: "Jiang Xingchen, I hate you..."
At the same time, the atmosphere in the palace of the Moon Shadow Kingdom was even more solemn than that of the Qiankun Empire. This year's Moon Shadow was also affected by drought, which affected half of the kingdom, and the dealers were close to dying.
"Have you not received a letter from Jiang Xingchen yet?" Emperor Yueying asked the Hua family head anxiously. The arid area is Yueying's main grain-producing area. If there is no harvest, the loss will be too great.
"Not yet?" The Hua family leader replied helplessly. There was no news about Jiang Xingchen for so long, and he felt unsure.
"Hey~" Emperor Yueying sighed heavily. He had also heard that even the Star Territory was suffering from drought, so how could he possibly solve his own problem? What's more, there were also large areas of the Qiankun Empire that were affected by the drought.
"Let's contact shopkeeper Wu from overseas. Let's buy their food!" Emperor Yueying said helplessly.
"Your Majesty, let's think about it again. The price charged by Shopkeeper Wu is too outrageous. It's three times more expensive than what's on the market!" Patriarch Hua said quickly.
"Three times is better than nothing!" Emperor Yueying took a deep breath, and the anger in his eyes flashed away. Of course he knew that the other party's asking price was outrageous, but there was no place to buy it now. The eight kingdoms all said that they were not enough, and Xuanyuan Tianzong didn't even think about it.
No need to think about it. The Qiankun Empire was hit harder than me. Da Qin was in the same boat as me. Only Da Li and Da Chen were left. I guess I couldn't take over the Qiankun Empire.
Yueying is not far away, but is so close to the south that it can grow two crops of food a year. Once the autumn harvest is over, Yueying will face the crisis of food shortage.
"Your Majesty, but the other party requires us to trade the full amount of Yuan Stone. This..."
"You have to buy even if you use the inventory!" Emperor Yueying waved his hand and said gloomily: "If I had known, I wouldn't have sold food to the Qiankun Empire last year, otherwise we wouldn't be so sad this year!"
The head of the Hua family was speechless and could only nod helplessly, preparing to resign and leave.
At this moment, a guard suddenly ran into the hall and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a letter from the stars of the Qiankun Empire!"
"Oh?" Emperor Yueying and Patriarch Hua were stunned at the same time, and then looked ecstatic. They immediately took the letter and read it, laughing for a moment. "It can only help a few territories... As long as it can be solved, it can be solved..."
At this time, the emperor's laughter also came from the palace in Dali: "Manwu, you are really proud of yourself. Jiang Xingchen really agreed to help! Their Qiankun Empire is the hardest hit!"
Qin Manwu said: "There has been no reply for several days, so I thought there was nothing he could do... I heard that even the Star Territory is suffering from the disaster!"
"Yes! This drought is really severe. Even the commercial banks all over the world can't receive food!"
"Don't worry about it, as long as you can deal with it this year! It's better than being tricked by that overseas shopkeeper Wu..."
At an earlier time, Wang Shuangyang, the Wu family, the Wei family, the Tang family, and even Tian Minhong, led by Qi Yue, all received Jiang Xingchen's reply, and they all showed happy smiles.
Although they didn't know what Jiang Xingchen had to do to solve the drought, based on their understanding of Jiang Xingchen, as long as he agreed, he would definitely be able to do it.
At this time, Jiang Xingchen, the leader of the Stars, is still busy. He is needed for the design of the pressure well, and he cannot relax in the negotiations in Linhai City. He must estimate the time, and it will be better if he can be one day in advance. (To be continued, please search
