Chapter 255 Support ()

Three days later, in the Tang family's mansion in Xi'e County, after hearing the princess' oral instructions, Mr. Tang Wu responded without thinking: "I'm leaving right now!"

Meng Sanbao, who came to deliver the oral message, smiled and said: "The princess specially asked Mr. Tang Wu to bring along the capable nephews and descendants of the Tang family."

Mr. Tangwu agreed with a smile and turned around to find Mr. Tang.

The Tang family's grain buying team was attacked by bandits on the way and suffered heavy losses. The princess sent out troops brazenly and wiped out the bandits completely. All the prisoners were sent alive to the mines, and they never expected to see the light of day again in this life.

The bloody feud of the Tang family was avenged, and everyone was grateful to the princess. Even Mrs. Tang, when talking about the princess now, he can only respect her with all his heart.

Hearing that the princess had an important errand to send to the Tang family, Mrs. Tang immediately said, "Bring more people and go."

Mr. Tang Wu nodded and said, "I think so too. Tang Qi will also go with me."

Among the grandchildren of the Tang family, 19-year-old Tang Qi is the most capable. Since last year, I have been leading a team of people to buy food alone.

At present, the two brothers are not mentioning the dirty things in their hearts.

After all, Mrs. Tang has been the head of the family for decades, and he is particularly concerned about the future of the Tang family. He whispered: "Now there is a severe drought in the north, and the imperial court has been collecting grain in the south. Our Tang family's original channels for purchasing grain are only less than 30%. We can’t support so many grain stores.”

"Since the princess has important errands for the Tang family, it can be seen that she wants to reuse the Tang family. Don't miss such a good opportunity."

"You and I both know how the Ma family became prosperous back then. Perhaps, this is a good opportunity God has given to our Tang family. We must seize it."

Mr. Tangwu nodded vigorously.

Mr. Tang, who had a wrinkled face and gray hair, took a deep look at Mr. Tang Wu and said, "You can go about your errands in peace. I will guard the house for you and there won't be any trouble."

He has been in charge of the family for more than two years. This is the first time that Mr. Tang has truly bowed his head, and it is also the first time that he has treated him like the head of the family.

Mr. Tang Wu became energetic and bowed: "Thank you, brother."

……

Mr. Tang Wu moved quickly and immediately ordered eight young and strong juniors. He packed his luggage that night and set off for the palace early the next morning.

Along the way, taking advantage of a break, Mr. Tang Wu smiled and chatted with Meng Sanbao.

Meng Sanbao looks rough and bold, but in fact he is careful and sharp. He speaks very tightly. Even though Mr. Tang Wu made insinuations, he didn't say a word.

Mr. Tang Wu had no choice but to rest his mind and concentrate on his journey. After entering Nanyang Prince's Mansion, he went to see the princess without even drinking.

Jiang Shaohua smiled and said: "Master Tang Wu has been working hard all the way, please learn to sit down and talk."

Grandpa Tang Wu was flattered: "No matter what, the princess can just call me Tang Wu or Tang Xianzhong."

Jiang Shaohua smiled slightly: "Heroes emerge in troubled times, and loyalty is revealed in times of crisis. Mr. Tang Wu is well-named."

Just two sentences with profound meaning.

Mr. Tang Wu became energetic and immediately held up his hands and said, "I, the Tang family, have received great favor from the Princess. We are willing to go through fire and water for the Princess without any hesitation."

Jiang Shaohua smiled and said warmly: "I have called you here because I have something to discuss with you."

Then, he talked about the preparations for transporting corn and sweet potatoes to the northern counties: "... How much money the grain will cost is not yet important, but the more important thing is to promote the new grain. Corn can produce thirteen or four stones per acre, and the yield of sweet potatoes is Higher. As long as these two kinds of food are popularized, countless people can be saved, which is a great thing that will benefit the country and the people. "

"However, this matter is also quite risky. Firstly, the journey is long and hard, and secondly, it takes a very long time. It may take two to three years or even several years." "Also, the road is not peaceful now, and there are bandits everywhere. . I will send a guard battalion to escort us. It will still be very dangerous if we encounter a large number of hungry people."

"If the Tang family is willing to take on this job, this princess will never treat the Tang family badly."

"The Tang family keeps 30% of the money from the sale of corn and sweet potatoes. You don't have to refuse, the princess will not send people in vain."

"You should think about this matter carefully for a few days. You can send someone back to deliver a letter to your brother and discuss it. When the discussion is complete, you can give me a reply."

After Master Tang Wu listened quietly, he cupped his hands and said, "No need to think about it, I can go back to the princess now. Our Tang family has taken over this errand."

A smile flashed in Jiang Shaohua's eyes: "Have you really thought about it?"

"I thought about it before I came here." Mr. Tang Wu said solemnly: "The common people still say the same thing. The princess has been very kind to our Tang family. Now is the time for our Tang family to repay the princess. It is our duty to repay the princess."

"Furthermore, it is not easy to buy grain outside now, and there is no shortage of grain in Nanyang County. The common people are worried about how to run the grain shop. Now that they can expand their business in the north, it is impossible to say that Tang's grain shop can open all over the northern states with the east wind of the princess. The county became the largest grain merchant in the north."

"As for danger, it's worth taking some risks to open up trade routes and run businesses."

A smart man indeed.

Even at critical moments, he can take responsibility for things.

Jiang Shaohua took a deep look at Mr. Tang Wu and suddenly said, "I remember that your son is working as an errand in Xi'e County Government."

Mr. Tang Wu's heart skipped a beat and he immediately responded: "That incompetent son of a grassroots man works as a clerk in a household in the county government office."

Jiang Shaohua said with a smile: "I, the princess, will have someone send out an official document to ask the Tang officials to come to the palace to work as errands. First, I will study with Feng Changshi and practice for a few years. I will definitely be able to be of great use in the future."

Mr. Tang Wu suppressed the excitement in his heart and bowed: "Thank you, Princess."

Who doesn't have any selfish feelings?

Mr. Tang Wu risked his life to run an errand, so he could get a good future for his son, so he was naturally very happy.

On that day, the princess ordered someone to write a transfer order and send it to Xi'e County.

None of the subordinate officials objected. Whether it’s Chen Sheren or Ma Sheren, they all have backgrounds and backgrounds. Even the Lushe people also borrowed the wind from Lu Junma.

Mr. Tang Wu is going to live and die for the princess. It is reasonable for the princess to support Mr. Tang Wu's son.

They even vaguely hope that it will become a routine. In the future, it will be more convenient for my son and nephew to join the officialdom.

A few days later, Chen Zhuo came back from Jingzhou and happened to meet Secretary Tang who had come to report to the palace.

Secretary Tang is thirty this year, with a medium build and a capable face. He follows Feng Changshi with a respectful attitude: "Tang Youyin has met Chen Changshi."

Chen Zhuo looked at her calmly and said with a smile: "From now on, when we both work as servants in the palace, meeting each other is normal, so there is no need to be so formal."

Feng Changshi smiled and answered: "Go and see the princess first. Then follow me to the household. The grain team will set off in a few days. There are many things to be busy with."

Tang Youyin didn't know that he was about to have a hard time doubting his life, so he agreed with a smile and entered the study with excitement and joy.
