The cannon fodder daughter was exiled, she has a system to earn gold
Chapter 306 Asking the Emperor for Iron Ore
"The prince will bring back some people soon. What they are doing is quite confidential. I am afraid that it will be learned by outsiders. It would be fine if they make huge profits, but if other countries learn about it, it would be a loss for our Great Jin. The stronger they are, the more dangerous our soldiers will be.
This is no longer our original intention for making thermos bottles.
So we have to find someone trustworthy to keep an eye on them, and that person is the one. I don’t know who to choose.”
The Sixth Princess was listening and wanted to say anxiously, "Choose me!"
I have nothing to do, but when I think about the fact that I can stay in the palace, it is all thanks to my grandmother. I cannot leave my grandmother all the time, at least most of the day, as long as my grandmother is free, I cannot leave her side.
So we had to settle for the next best thing.
"This is not easy to do. Let your grandmother help you."
If the grandmother saw it, it meant that she saw it.
Qin Zhongyue didn't expect the Sixth Princess to be so sensible.
But her face was full of embarrassment. "This is not good. Grandma doesn't have that much energy."
"Yes, yes, Grandma can definitely do it, and I'm here to help you.
If anything happens, we will tell my sister-in-law as soon as possible.
Why don't you send a butler to accompany you? This mission will definitely be no problem."
The Empress Dowager didn't expect that the Sixth Princess would be so restless. It was she, a useless old woman, who dragged her down.
I originally thought this girl was a bad person, but after coming to the palace, I didn't expect that she was the one who took care of me the most besides my granddaughter-in-law.
She served him wholeheartedly and did not pretend to obey him but actually did something against her will. It turned out that she had been thinking wrongly before.
Now I like this girl more and more.
Seeing how much she wanted to share the burden with her sister-in-law, she nodded in agreement.
At worst, I can just sleep less in the future.
"It just so happens that we have nothing to do these days, and we can't always bother you guys who are doing big things, so we can also help you do something.
Look at me, this old useless guy, and see if I am really useless. "
The Empress Dowager felt that Qin Zhongyue would definitely not be willing to do these things, so she deliberately used provocation to do so.
Sure enough, Qin Zhongyue agreed with a soft heart.
The Empress Dowager was happy, she was the most experienced one!
She had no idea that this was the result of Qin Zhongyue's deliberate actions.
Everyone is happy.
That afternoon, Xiao Jingyi brought back nearly a hundred soldiers who knew how to make pottery, and Qin Zhongyue was extremely surprised.
Xiao Jingyi's efficiency is really amazing.
The Empress Dowager and the Sixth Princess became busy.
The old housekeeper and the maid in the palace were also called in to assist the Empress Dowager and the Sixth Princess.
After all, the Empress Dowager is old and has narcolepsy, and it is impossible for her to really help watch these soldiers work all day long.
That would also consume her mental energy, which would be bad.
Qin Zhongyue first asked the soldiers to make ceramic thermos bottles, because the emperor had not yet approved the iron mine and might even not approve it.
Bigwigs like Xiao Jingyi and General Pei were all involved. After the morning court session, several of them went to find the emperor in private.
"My dear ministers, what do you want from me?"
The emperor had been very tired from the torture of the empress dowager who had threatened to commit suicide in recent days. When he saw his younger brother coming to him with General Pei and Qin Erlu, he felt relieved that he didn't have to face the empress dowager.
General Pei and Qin Erlu remained silent, and Xiao Jingyi carefully took out his thermos.
"Xiao Anzi, bring a kettle of boiling water."
"Yes."
Apart from the Emperor, the only one who could give Xiao Anzi this order was Xiao Jingyi.
Xiao Anzi took the order and quickly ran to the tea room next door and brought back a pot of freshly boiled water.
Xiao Jingyi took it and poured the boiling water into the thermos, covered it with a lid, and then began to talk about the uses and benefits of the thermos.
"Is it really as my royal brother said?"
The emperor thought this was a bit exaggerated and looked at General Pei and Qin Erlu who had been silent.
"Do your two beloved ministers know this too?"
"I know."
After General Pei nodded, it was Qin Erlu's turn.
"I have one too."
It wasn't his first time meeting the emperor, but he was still a little nervous, and when he was nervous he would easily say something wrong.
"Oh? Where did you get it?"
"My sister gave it to me."
Qin Erlu didn't dare not to say it, but he felt a little regretful after saying it.
Did he steal his brother-in-law's words?
"Oh?
Isn't your sister Princess Xiaoyao? "
The emperor thought that Qin Erlu was so simple-minded that he was lucky enough to behead the enemy general. He liked such simple-minded people because they were simple-minded.
"Back to the emperor, exactly."
The emperor was very happy to see that his brother's face had turned dark. He pretended not to see it and continued to ask Qin Erlu.
"So where did your sister get this magical thermos?"
"It's a long story."
Qin Erlu didn't want to say anything more, but the emperor kept asking, and he really didn't want to steal the limelight.
"It's okay to explain it in detail. It just so happens that this thermos has also been waiting for a long time."
The emperor waved his hand and signaled Xiao Anzi to give seats to the three people below.
Qin Erlu was forced to speak for a long time. In the end, he was asking the emperor how he dared to lead General Pei back alone to fight. Qin Erlu's mouth was dry from talking.
Fortunately, after two hours, the emperor finally stopped asking.
Seeing that it was time for lunch, Xiao Jingyi waved his hand and a young eunuch outside brought in a few oil paper bags.
Qin Erlu and General Pei knew at a glance that there must be instant noodles in it.
Xiao Jingyi opened two packets of braised beef noodles in front of the emperor and poured boiling water from the thermos into them.
It had only been simmering for a while, and before the lid was opened, the people present could smell the unique aroma of the braised beef instant noodles.
"Why does this suddenly smell so good?"
The emperor finally couldn't help it and came down to take a look.
Just as he was about to lift the lid of the bowl of instant noodles, he was stopped by Xiao Jingyi.
"Wait a little longer."
After waiting for a while, the emperor watched Xiao Jingyi holding a large bowl of instant noodles and slurping it elegantly.
"Is this the instant noodles that have been making the rounds these past two days?"
General Pei was also attracted by it. Most importantly, he really saw the benefits and usefulness of the thermos.
How could Xiao Jingyi let Qin Zhongyue suffer a loss?
With the cooperation of Qin Erlu and General Pei, the three of them struggled with the emperor, and finally the emperor agreed to allocate an iron mine to them.
But the profits they produce must be greater than those from iron ore.
Otherwise, Xiao Jingyi and General Pei would have to pay for the losses of the iron mine out of their own pockets.
General Bae just nodded in agreement without saying anything because he was eating instant noodles.
Xiao Jingyi simply didn't want to talk.
The emperor did not involve Qin Erlu because he knew that the Qin family had no money.
They dragged him into this. If compensation is really required, what will the Qin family use to pay?
Of course, if the result is good, the emperor's younger brother and General Pei would not be able to swallow it up. The main credit goes to Princess Xiaoyao and Qin Erlu, he remembers it!
As he was thinking, he no longer had time to think about anything else, because the most important thing was to eat the noodles, which were so delicious!
