The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 195 The dispute over the pill mine, who will win (1)
Sang Youqing's inquiring eyes swept over Zhao Chengqian, and after a while, she asked, "Who is the person you said you want to protect?"

"With Miss Sang's intelligence, she can guess it naturally." Zhao Chengqian refused to say it clearly.

"It's Xiaoyao!" Sang Youqing's eyes flashed with surprise.

Zhao Shengqian nodded slightly, acquiescing to her guess.

"Why?" Sang Youqing was even more confused.

"You don't want him to be hurt, and I won't let anyone hurt him. So, we can cooperate." Zhao Shengqian did not explain.

"Cooperation?" Sang You was puzzled.

"Don't you wonder why he is becoming more and more dandy? Haven't you thought about the reason why he can't help it?" Zhao Chengqian threw out several things in succession that made Sang Youqing sleepless for countless days and nights. Also can't figure out the problem.

"Someone wanted to harm him, so he had to pretend..." Sang Youqing was startled, covered her lips with her hands, and looked at Zhao Shengqian in disbelief.

Zhao Sheng smiled wryly: "Whether it's a fake or not, I'm not sure until now. He doesn't trust anyone now, so we can only protect him in secret. Only by catching the mastermind behind the scenes can he live wantonly and truly under the sun. "

Sang Youqing was shocked in her heart, she was silent for a long time, and made Zhao Chengqian wait for a long time before she slowly said: "I would like to cooperate with you."

On the second day, under the imperial decree.

Among them, naturally a bunch of high-sounding words were said.The only thing that is clear is that the wedding date is the same day as the second prince's.Fortunately, the auspicious day of the big wedding was calculated by the people of the Qin Tianjian until the beginning of spring next year, which is half a year away from now.

This made Chu Qing heave a sigh of relief. With this time, she can make a good arrangement. At least after she enters the palace, everything can be completed according to her arrangement.

Chu Qing completed the agreement with Zhao Shenghao, and successfully dispelled her father's idea of ​​finding her a husband's family.

When Chu Zhengyang was shocked by the content of the imperial decree, one Buddha ascended to heaven, and the two came out of his body, Chu Qing finally waited for the final competition of the alchemy points.In this game of chess involving members of the royal family, who is the chess piece and who is the chess player?
This time, the alchemy cave that was taken out by the court and authorized to be mined is located in the west of Southern Chu, only a line away from Hexi.Moreover, this is a vein that has not yet been mined. Is there any cinnabar in it, how much is there, and how deep is it from the ground?
No one knows.

The royal family didn't want to take this risk, so they threw it out, so that the wealthy businessmen of the people could show their meager strength.

However, if the Pill Cave is really a mineral vein with an astonishing storage capacity, wouldn't the court lose money?
This point, the families who came to compete for this mining right had thought about it in their hearts.Even Chu Qing was no exception.

It wasn't until the day of the competition came that Chu Qing saw the announcement issued by the court, and then suddenly realized.

"Miss, it's actually only a ten-year mining right?" You He frowned as she looked at the content of the announcement that Fusu copied.

Chu Qing smiled disapprovingly, and gently slid her fingertips along the edge of the cup: "This way, it will be normal."

"?"

You He looked at her in confusion, even Xing Rong and Ming Liu, who were doing other things beside her, put down what they were doing and surrounded her.They didn't quite understand the court's move, so they just heard what the young lady said.

However, Chu Qing was not in a hurry to explain, instead, he looked at Fusu and said with a smile, "How about it, Mr. Baima from Jiuming Company, can you see something from it?"

Fusu smiled lightly and fell silent.The competition for mining rights was held in the afternoon, and in the morning it was announced by the court, which was also considered as a time for various families to discuss.

He waited at the Yamen for the announcement, then immediately copied a copy and hurried back.On the way, he also thought over and over again about the mining rights for the past ten years, and roughly guessed some of the imperial court's thoughts, but he didn't know whether it was accurate.

At this moment, Chu Qing gave him a chance, and after sorting out the sentences in his mind, he said seriously: "This subordinate guesses that the imperial court is not very sure about this mine vein, whether it can mine cinnabar. Therefore, in this way To avoid losses. If there is really cinnabar, after ten years of mining, no matter how deep it is buried, it will be dug out. If there is no..." Fusu smiled lightly, and continued: "It's not the court that is the loser."

"This is too cunning!" Xing Rong looked at Chu Qing in surprise, as if hoping to get an affirmative answer from her.

She never thought that the imperial court, representing the highest power, would have such a cunning side.

On the contrary, You He sneered, and said sarcastically, "The most ruthless, cunning and cunning people in this world are those with high positions and powers."

Chu Qing's eyes glide over her body, knowing that this beautiful woman has a lot of complaints against the court, her family members all died in the disaster a year ago, and even she herself was infected by the plague, Abandoned by the imperial court.If it wasn't for Chu Qing's timely proposal of the smallpox inoculation technique, and she was fortunate to be the first batch of experimenters, she might be a bone of bones by now.

The experience of family ruin naturally made her complain to the court.

Mingliu drooped her eyes in deep thought, pursed her lips and said, "If this is the case, then this business needs to be considered again. From this point of view, it feels a bit thankless. Not only do you have to spend money to compete for mining rights, but you also have to do it for the court. coolie."

She paused, frowned, a little unhappy: "It's really a loss."

Chu Qing looked around at the few people, smiled and said nothing.After they stopped talking, she smiled and said: "It seems that you all think that this deal cannot be done?"

The four of them exchanged glances, looked at Chu Qing, and nodded.

They are not idiots, they know they are going to do coolies for the imperial court, but they have to rush to catch up.Besides, there is an envoy of the third prince aggressively behind him, either Jiu Ming will take the money and leave, or he will replace the Hexi Chu family.

The reaction of the four people, Chu Qing looked at the bottom of his eyes, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he drank tea with lowered eyes, the calmness was hard to fathom.

In the end... Does the master mean to continue, or to give up?
For a long time, there was only silence in the room.

The four of them stared at each other, and finally all their gazes fell on Chu Qing who was drinking tea calmly.

"Cough cough." Fusu coughed lightly, took a few sneaky glances, and asked tentatively: "Miss, the imperial court is not afraid that once this announcement comes out, will everyone give up the competition because of the ten-year deadline?"

Chu Qing's movements paused slightly, and the lips close to the teacup drew an arc.Gently closing the lid, the teacup was slowly put down, and she looked at several people: "Why? Isn't there still ten years?"

Uh?
The eyes of the four are full of doubts.

Leaning against the back of the chair, Chu Qing's posture was casual and relaxed, with curved eyebrows and eyes: "The imperial court is worried that the mine will not be opened, or that the value of the ore veins opened does not match the investment. However, businessmen, especially those with a solid foundation, are very concerned about Production value in the middle of the year. Investment means risk, success or failure. If you want to win, you must gamble and invest. This is the courage of a businessman. Only when you can afford to lose can you win."
