Chapter 2823 The imperial commander’s personal expedition

Shanta seemed to be relieved, "Then I'll go back first. There are still things in the clan. It won't be good if I stay out for a long time. When you are free, come to the barbarian clan. Don't you also want to go to the Zhong family?"

He spoke a string of words in one breath, as if he was hiding something, and also as if he was escaping from something.

Bai Ruozhu's mind was sharp and she couldn't help but laugh, "If I go with you, you will probably feel even less at ease, right?"

"Ah? How could it be!" Shanta exclaimed in surprise.

Bai Ruozhu shook his head, "You're not pretending, you don't know your own heart yet. If you want to leave, leave as soon as possible. Just don't regret it in the future. There are many good men in the capital. I'll just introduce them to Aosong. Yes. Well, how about Tang Feng? He is a top scholar, charming and suave, Aosong should like him."

"Oh, okay, that's good." Shanta replied, but her expression wasn't very pretty, and she finally left in a daze.

Bai Ruozhu is not in a hurry. People like Sangta need to be treated well. There will be times when he feels uncomfortable.

…

The next day, Bai Ruozhu reported Zhang Liliang's matter. As expected, Zhang Liliang was summoned soon. However, to Bai Ruozhu's surprise, it was Tang Yin who summoned him personally.

Zhang Liliang had never seen the emperor before, and he didn't know where to place his nervous hands. Fortunately, he had traveled all over the country in the past few years and had seen a lot of people in Beijing with the Bai family. He understood the rules and didn't make any jokes.

Tang Yin asked some questions about trade with the barbarians and the Western Regions, and Zhang Liliang also explained everything he had thought about in advance.

"Did you think of these yourself, or did Bai Ruozhu think of them?" Tang Yin suddenly asked.

Zhang Li's conscience felt tight and he hurriedly replied: "It was the idea of ​​the grassroots themselves, and there are still many immature aspects."

"Yes, you go down first, I will consider it." Tang Yin waved his hand, and Zhang Liliang hurriedly bowed and left.

The two of them met for less than a stick of incense. Zhang Liliang felt that his legs were weak when he came out. When he got home, he told Rong'er's mother about the experience of meeting the saint.

"What does the emperor look like?" Rong'er Niang asked curiously.

"I didn't see clearly." Zhang Liliang sneered, "I was afraid of being disrespectful, so I didn't dare to look up at the emperor's face."

Rong'er Niang burst out laughing, "You are so timid, don't lose Ruozhu's face."

"No matter how timid I am, my answers are pretty good." Zhang Liliang is quite confident in this point. Over the years he has been doing business, he has also learned the ropes. In addition, his contact with Ruozhu has broadened his thinking a lot. He dares to think about others. You can think of things that others don't dare to think of.

On the other side of the imperial study, Bai Ruozhu was called to Tang Yin.

"The person you recommended is good, and he can be regarded as a good man who does not avoid relatives." Tang Yin said.

"Your Majesty is wise, otherwise civilians would not have such a chance." Bai Ruozhu praised appropriately.

Tang Yin narrowed his eyes, "But you have selfish motives after all, don't you?"

"Who doesn't have selfish intentions? But the success of our Bai family's business is not due to me alone. Thanks to the many capable people below, we are what we are today. Wouldn't it be a good idea to recommend talented people to the imperial court and serve the imperial court? A good thing?" she asked.

Tang Yin laughed, "I plan to make him a seventh-grade trade envoy, but he must leave the Bai family."

Bai Ruozhu also laughed, "I'm afraid your Majesty has misunderstood. Uncle Zhang and my father are close friends. They are not servants of my family. There has never been a contract of betrayal. How can he leave the Bai family? It's just that he has some shares in the Bai family. Help take care of some business.”

"I'm very curious, how many shares does he have in your Bai family?" Tang Yin asked.

"I gave away 20% of the shares of the shop he managed." Bai Ruozhu didn't hide anything.

"You are quite generous. No wonder you can retain people. Why don't you give me some shares as well." Tang Yin added.

Bai Ruozhu was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Your Majesty is interested in my shares? Besides, the rules are only for those who do things. What can your Majesty do?"

"Bold!" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, "Do you still want to order me around?"

Bai Ruozhu lowered her head, but she was not at all nervous in her heart. The more she dealt with him, she found that Tang Yin liked to bluff, and at most he would just scare people, but he would not really do anything to her.

"I don't dare."

"I plan to choose a few companies to participate in the trade between the barbarians and the Western Regions. The first choice is the Bai family. Is this enough?" Tang Yin's tone calmed down again.

Bai Ruozhu's eyes lit up, "60% business."

"You're greedy, 50% at most."

"Okay, I will give your majesty Hua Xiangrong 20% ​​of the shares." Yu Shengyan said, she snickered in her heart. She thought it was good to be able to talk about the fourth achievement, but she didn't expect that Tang Yin really didn't know how to talk about business.

"I heard that you give 20% to everyone, including me?" Tang Yin glared.

"This is called treating everyone equally." She laughed dryly, "Of course your Majesty has a distinguished status, so let's give it 30%."

She deliberately showed a look of pain and reluctance, and sure enough, Tang Yin nodded with satisfaction.

This negotiation was very pleasant. Tang Yin got Hua Xiangrong's shares to replenish his private treasury, and Yu Shengyan also got the bulk of the trade. The Bai family's business is bound to go further.

After that, everything was under discussion and preparation. In less than half a month, many details had been released. Tang Yin issued an order and announced that the specific person in charge of trade was Bai Ruozhu, and appointed a number of officials, including Zhang Liliang.

Bai Ruozhu also recovered a lot during this period, and took the opportunity to get together with friends in Beijing. Time flew by, and many of them got married and started businesses.

The girls at the Women's Medical Clinic also made great progress. Bai Ruozhu took the opportunity to take the exams for them, and all of them performed very well, which made her deeply gratified.

Aosong also felt much better and started shouting that she wanted to go home. Bai Ruozhu guessed that she missed Sangta.

"Girl, I have to go to Zhong's house. You can wait a few days and let's go together. It's best if some people are gone for the time being." Bai Ruozhu said.

Aosong blushed, "I want to go home, but I won't go see him."

"Fool, just let him worry about you. Maybe he will come looking for you." Bai Ruozhu laughed.

Unexpectedly, before the itinerary was arranged, a war broke out in Beiguan, and an urgent military letter was received in Beijing.

"I have decided to lead the expedition myself!" Tang Yin declared resolutely in the court hall.

"Your Majesty, no!" An old minister shouted hurriedly.

"Absolutely not, Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body!"

"The battlefield is too dangerous. Your Majesty must not go there in person."

"..."

Tang Yin raised his hand to calm down the ministers, and said solemnly: "I have made up my mind. You don't need to persuade me to retreat from the court!"

After saying that, he stood up and strode away.

A group of ministers discussed the matter and finally found Jiang Yichun, asking him to advise the emperor.

Jiang Yichun didn't agree with Tang Yin's decision, so he went to the imperial study room to talk to him alone.

"I'd better go to Beiguan on behalf of Your Majesty," he said.

Tang Yin laughed, "Are you willing to let go of your wife?"
