After crossing, let yourself go

Chapter 152

Fu Sangke originally wanted to leave after reporting everything he needed to say to the emperor, but who knew that the emperor did not let him leave. Instead, he intentionally or unintentionally allowed him to have more contact with Han Jiu, as if he really wanted his relationship with Han Jiu to be better.

Later he figured it out. The emperor really hoped that he and Han Jiu could get along well, because this was very important. He was the emperor's man and the general of Anping State. If he had a bad relationship with Han Jiu, it would mean that the relationship between the emperor and Han Jiu would be bad.

Han Jiu never thought so much. She didn't care who belonged to whom. She only cared about whether she liked the person or not. As for Fu Sangke, she was quite happy to get along with him.

"What do you think? Are you considering it?" Han Jiu told Yan Beiming that he and Master Liu were planning to turn the imperial palace into a tourist area.

Eunuch He standing by felt that this was inappropriate. After all, it was the imperial palace, and it was against the rules. How could ordinary people be allowed to set foot in a place like the imperial palace?

Fu Sangke found it interesting. As a military general, he understood how expensive it was to maintain an army. It would be fine if there was no war, but once a war broke out, supply of food and materials was the most important. If the national treasury ran out of money, those on the battlefield could only wait to die.

I heard my grandfather say that the treasury was empty and the soldiers needed to survive, so they had to borrow rice from the people to eat before going to the battlefield. My grandfather said at that time that he wanted to pull out those wealthy merchants who were full of money and had money in their hands, but the soldiers under their control were hungry and had no food to eat, but they ate one bowl after another.

Grandpa had no choice but to borrow things from the people. The people were poor, and there was no other way. His soldiers needed to be well fed before they could go to the battlefield. Now that he heard Han Jiu's idea, he thought it was worth a try. This method could make the treasury full and lasting.

Yan Beiming thought for a while and looked at Han Jiu, "Xiao Jiu, do you want to cooperate with Liu Jieyu?" The Liu family is indeed rich.

Han Jiu nodded, "Well, I don't have any money, so I can only let him spend some money."

This has already added money to the national treasury for a wealthy man, and there will be more in the future. "You mean to contract the palace to you?"

Han Jiu raised an eyebrow. Why do you still want a dividend-based plan? That's too greedy. "Everything is up to you."

Yan Beiming smiled. Han Jiu was smart and knew that he wanted more, but he didn't want to do that, and he wouldn't do that. "What do you think is a suitable annual contract fee?"

Agreed? "You set a number." Yan Beiming, you are indeed far-sighted.

Eunuch He was most surprised by the emperor's decision. This is the imperial palace. Your Majesty, this is not acceptable.

Han Jiu and Yan Beiming discussed for a long time and finally decided on a ten-year contracting model because it was the simplest. If it was a dividend-sharing model, they would have to check the accounts, whether it was the accounts of money or items, and they would have to be clearly remembered and Yan Beiming would have to review them.

If there is even the slightest mistake, it would not be just a quarrel between friends, that would be called deceiving the king, Yan Beiming and Han Jiu both understood this, so they both felt that the contracting method was the most appropriate.

Yan Beiming decided to give Han Jiu the original Dayan's palace package to use at will, but the premise was that he couldn't cross the line. Han Jiu certainly understood this. It was already a rare opportunity for him to give him the palace package to make changes, so he would naturally make the details better.

Eunuch He almost fainted when he heard what the emperor said. You have already booked the entire palace, and yet you still say that you are overstepping the boundaries, Your Majesty.

Han Jiu exhaled and saw Eunuch He's face turning green when he suddenly asked, "How long has the eunuch been in the palace?"

Hearing Han Jiu talking to him, Eunuch He was startled, and then replied, "Third Young Master, I entered the palace when I was eight years old."

"Then you must be familiar with all the rules of this palace?" Han Jiu raised his eyebrows.

"Of course. I dare not say other servants, but I will remember the rules of this palace until I die." Eunuch He puffed out his chest. He was indeed confident about this.

Yan Beiming glanced at Han Jiu without saying anything. A hint of sympathy flashed in Fu Sangke's eyes for Eunuch He.

Han Jiu pointed at Eunuch He and said, "Brother, let Eunuch He stay with me for a few days. He knows the rules of the palace best, and he knows best what can be changed and what can be done." It's just right to let your people do this, and there will be no complaints afterwards.

Eunuch He's face turned really green at this moment. "Third Young Master, are you trying to kill me? How dare I change the palace? It is against the rules to let common people enter the palace. Now you want me to work for you, oh God."

Yan Beiming rarely curled his lips, calling him "big brother". "This matter is of great importance. You must do a good job for Xiaojiu."

Eunuch He was about to vomit blood. He felt like he was about to ascend to heaven, floating like he was walking on cotton.

"What time is it?" Yan Beiming asked Eunuch He behind him.

Eunuch He's spirit instantly returned to his seat, "Your Majesty, it's time for lunch."

"There is a new cook in the imperial kitchen. His food is pretty good. Xiaojiu will try it later." He then looked at Fu Sangke who was standing beside him and said, "My dear, come along too. You have been exhausted lately."

Fu Sangke bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I have done everything I should have done."

Not long after Eunuch He left, a bunch of palace maids and eunuchs came in one after another. Each of them held a variety of dishes in their hands and placed them on the table. Han Jiu was stunned. Are the three of them going to eat so much? A full banquet.

After all the dishes were served, everyone left. Yan Beiming picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the dish. "Eat it. I guess you didn't eat anything good after all the trouble you've gone through."

This is true. He didn't eat anything good along the way. He just took a few bites of whatever he saw. Han Jiu picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Fu Sangke was in a dilemma. He was eating at the same table with the king, so he could not extend his hand no matter what.

Seeing what Fu Sangke meant, Han Jiu swallowed the food in his mouth and asked, "What? Do you still need someone to feed you?"

Fu Sangke really wanted to cover Han Jiu's mouth, but Yan Beiming smiled and said, "There are not so many rules today, my dear, please do as you please." He also took a bite of food and put it in his mouth, "With Xiaojiu here, the rules of not talking while eating and not talking while sleeping are invalid."

"No, we can keep silent while eating, but we three won't encounter a situation where we keep silent while sleeping." Sleeping has nothing to do with these two people.

Yan Beiming and Fu Sangke were stunned one after another, and then Yan Beiming laughed out loud, "You kid."

General Fu, who has always been thick-skinned and tough, felt so embarrassed at this moment. Han Jiu was such a shameless person.

After this commotion, the three of them became more relaxed. In fact, it was Fu Sangke who became more relaxed. Han Jiu was always very relaxed. The three of them ate and talked. Yan Beiming did not mind the presence of Han Jiu and talked to Fu Sangke about state affairs. He also talked to Han Jiu about contracting the palace. The meal was quite good.

A young eunuch came in and whispered a few words in Eunuch He's ear before leaving. Eunuch He walked over to Yan Beiming and whispered, "Your Majesty, King Cheng wants to see you."

Yan Beiming looked at Han Jiu, who was forcing Fu Sangke to eat a kind of fish he didn't like, "Xiao Jiu".

With her martial arts skills at this level, she naturally heard what Eunuch He said, "Hmm?"

Yan Beiming put down his chopsticks and asked, "Do you want to see me?"

What can I do now that I'm here? If I go out now, I'll be met with "You decide what to do."

Fu Sangke looked at the two of them in confusion.

"Let Prince Cheng come in and add some side dishes." Can this person finally let go?

After Eunuch He left, when the door opened again, a man walked in. Just like the first time they met, he had a pair of peach blossom eyes and a faint smile on his lips. He felt very friendly. He was King Cheng, Mu Jifan.
