Zhao Xi returned to the food factory, Liu Yi was already furious. The others were all at a loss for what to do.
Idle with many stoves and houses, they have been working continuously for more than a dozen people, but still can't keep up with sales.
The Great Song Dynasty has several hundred military states, and I've heard that the border checkpoints are all preparing to exchange them. How can they possibly keep up with this?
This is great, the king sent six or seven more... and there were continuous palace maids coming over, also bringing the imperial edict from the empress dowager...
"Idiot! The kiln can be rebuilt, and personnel will be taught as soon as possible. Liu Yi, has Xiao Wang heard that there are those who want to sell it to foreigners?"
Cookies, this thing has been for so long, in the Song Dynasty, no one thought about military preparations, it's because they all lived too comfortably.
No matter whether it's northwest or north, spending the whole day on horseback, once you leave the house, it's already many days. Even if it's not wartime, people will still think of its uses.
Although Zhao Xi is not a narrow nationalist, for now, being in the imperial court, he naturally thinks for the imperial court.
"Your Highness, it is indeed true."
"Hum! You tell them for me, if anyone dares to sell this thing to foreigners, their family will no longer be allowed to sell pastries. The money they spent earlier, I, the king, will refund in full."
Come on, you have to make it sound more convincing. Zhao Xi didn't think that any family would cut off their financial path because of foreign affairs.
Liu Yi didn't understand, wasn't it just a casual remark? Why is Wang Ye making such a big deal out of this?
Think of Prince Wang's age, it is also impossible to let children of other ethnic groups taste such delicious cookies.
……
"Haven't you been dealt with?"
Zhao Zongmei and Zhao Zongxiao saw the three servants return safely, somewhat disbelieving.
It's a matter of course for something to happen from below, regardless of whether Zhao Xi intervened or not.
In the end, I was scolded by Zhao Xi and had to hand over the companion. This matter was messed up, originally I was thinking of waiting for the person with a swollen nose and face to come back, so that they could go cry to dad together... even the excuse was thought out...
The three lower-ranking officials returned with big smiles on their faces, not only were they not punished, but it seemed as if they had received some kind of reward.
Nothing much, just Wang Zhongzheng shared some cookies he had with him...
Zhao Zongchuo and Zhao Zongbo were stunned, the words they had prepared were useless, things had reached this point, it was no longer something they could consider thoroughly.
"King E calls you all to go, what happened in between, you all tell the truth."
The King of Junan already knew what had happened at the Zishantang, thinking that the young man would be punished and his younger brother would send someone to deliver a reward.
The result is not as expected, but it can also let the scholars see... In the future, there will be a tyrannical and belligerent emperor.
To say die of heart, Zhao Yunrui is really not dead-hearted. Two generations of father and son were all returned, this feeling is not what ordinary people can experience.
Now there is only one point, thirteen has had the experience of being raised in the palace, and among the officials in the court, there has always been this idea... Thirteen is the candidate to inherit the throne.
That's the glimmer of hope... Zhao Xi's reputation can be despised by Shirin or unexpectedly!
That step, Zhao Yunrui never had the heart to take it, and he just thought that as long as he could gradually ruin Zhao Xi's reputation, it would be enough.
He understands that once a person is touted as a model, they will be pushed by ordinary people to a deified state, and cannot tolerate any flaws, no matter how small the flaw, it will be infinitely magnified.
So he has been following the law of gradual progress... Although things are contrary to his wishes, they also make Zhao Xi more and more perfect.
Perfection is itself an illusion.
"Returning to the king, King E did not make things difficult for us. We followed his entourage and chatted casually for a while, during which we snacked on some pastries. The king let us return after school."
In the afternoon, accompanied by Wang Zhongzheng, he subconsciously directly addressed Zhao Xiyu as "Wang Ye". A child of over ten years old, how much thought can they have about these taboos?
Unfortunately, Zhao Yunrang heard it as another matter.
……
The King of Junan sent three servants to send them off to the village...
Fu Bi has been paying attention to the affairs of Cishantang, and he really wants to know the outcome of Zhao Xi's disposal. The result is not unexpected, and the King of Runan is very cooperative with Zhao Xi.
"Yanguo, do you think this is what King E of Wu had anticipated?"
"This is a suspicious matter, and it's not just a trivial thing in Yan country."
"Don't worry about it. Even if that's the case, it's still a blessing for our Great Song Dynasty, not a bad thing. I heard that in recent days, Prince E has taken in all the idle palace maids and sent them to some food factory or something."
Zhao Xi's guess was not wrong, and the matter of cakes and biscuits eventually became known to the officials in the imperial court. Not only did they clearly know that it was mainly done by the inner courtyard, but even that it was created by him.
It's just that because of the complicated relationships involved, no one has dared to go against the majority.
"Could it be what you really mean?"
"This time, in handling matters, emotions, righteousness, and personality are all revealed without a doubt. Although it's a small matter, everywhere shows great spirit. Yan Guo, having such a king, is truly the blessing of us ministers."
People's impressions of each other are strange, once they hit it off, everything seems right.
Han Qi's several meetings with Zhao Xi, each time making Han Qi feel more and more affectionate towards him, even with a hint of mutual understanding.
It's just Fuhao, and he is also deeply concerned about Zhao Xi. For no reason at all, he just wants to pay attention.
Shilin is Shilin, and Huangjia has always been a check on each other. When they reached the high position of governance, it was already very clear.
But for Zhao Xi, it seems he was born without the intention of restraint and balance.
"This way, the difference between King Yunnan and King E is clear!"
Fu Bi didn't want to compare a 4 or 5 year old child with an elderly person who had accepted their fate, but that was indeed the case, and the elderly person was left far behind by the child.
If it's his natural character, then it's indeed a blessing for the court of Great Song. But if it's a deliberate strategy...then it may not necessarily be a blessing for us ministers!
Thinking of E Wang Ye being only four or five years old... Fu Xuan shook his head, driving away the thoughts that shouldn't be in his mind.
Prodigies and freaks are fine, just can't be fairies. If every step of the Marquis of Wu is well-designed... really can't treat him as human.
Is it possible? Even Fu Xi himself didn't believe it.
If it is said that Zhao Xi arranged for the servants of the Yunnan Wangfu to be disposed of, and also arranged for the miserable people in the palace to be settled, then he is not a human being, but an immortal.
As for how to deal with the servants of the King of Yunnan, it was indeed his premeditated plan. Punishing the servants would only make people think that he had a narrow mind and was not beneficial.
But doing so would actually allow the people watching the Yunnan Wang Fu to have a sprout in their hearts, and having a sprout is enough.
Don't look at him as just a lowly servant, he's also attached to the Yu Nan Wang Fu, they're all watching. In this era there are social classes, but Zhao Xie doesn't understand that concept, he only understands human nature.
As for those poor people in the palace, to be honest, it was purely out of kindness. In contrast to the way the Yunnan Wangfu treated its lower-ranking officials, Zhao Xie's actions were unintentionally gained.
But he didn't know.
He first saw football... no, it should be called cuju during class break.
The royal family was not just the children of the Ruanan King's palace, but at this time he also understood that they were basically divided into three factions: Taizu, Taizong and Weiwang. The Weiwang faction seemed to be similar to the Taizu faction, both being well-behaved children, even when playing, they didn't dare to have conflicts with the Taizong faction, always yielding to them.
This is quite interesting to Zhao Xi.
