Chapter 155 This Emperor Can Deal with
Prime Minister Mu's handsome face was almost smiling like a chrysanthemum, and he walked to Mu Qingqing's side happily: "Qingqing, thank you quickly."
Mu Qingqing knelt on the ground solemnly and bowed to Emperor Tai'an: "I, your humble servant, thank you for your great grace. Long live the emperor!"
"Stand up!" When Emperor Tai'an saw Mu Qingqing standing up, he rubbed her knees a few times and continued softly, "Princess Pingyang has made great contributions to our dynasty. I hereby grant you the privilege of not kneeling when you see me in the future!"
It doesn't make sense that my sixth brother has the right to be exempted from kneeling, but my sixth brother's wife doesn't have this authority! Why not do a favor and let my sixth brother remember the benefits I gave him?
Emperor Tai'an, who was as scheming as a fox, was looking at Mu Qingqing, who was not easily affected by fame or disgrace, and he liked her more and more!
After giving a look to Eunuch De and dismissing the court, he left Prime Minister Mu and his daughter in the imperial study to continue the unfinished topic.
After today, everyone inside and outside the court cheered for Mu Qingqing!
The incident of Mu Qingqing beating Lord Yao with her extraordinary skills continued to ferment inside and outside the palace, and the news was spread as if it was true.
Everyone admired Mu Qingqing's courage in saying that she wanted to buy out the Four Nations Tournament and strive to win first place.
They all tried to find out if there was a banker for Donglin Kingdom this year. If it was Miss Mu, they would bet on Donglin Kingdom to win!
Even if I lose, it doesn’t matter!
After all, Miss Mu donated five million taels of silver to the country for the Four Nations Tournament. The kind-hearted people at the bottom thought: If Donglin Kingdom still loses this competition, it will be considered as a donation to Miss Mu. Although these small bets are a drop in the bucket compared to five million taels of silver, they at least represent their own thoughts!
Mu Qingqing, who didn't know that her donation of five million taels had made her image taller among the people of Donglin Kingdom, was now discussing one competition item after another with Emperor Tai'an in the imperial study.
After coming into contact with Emperor Tai'an today, Mu Qingqing felt that this uncle emperor (there is a generation difference between them, yes! He should be of the brother generation) was someone she could get along with.
In Mu Qingqing's eyes, Emperor Tai'an was a good emperor who was open-minded and willing to listen to advice.
In this case, Mu Qingqing, who had originally planned to make drastic moves in the other world, felt that it would be most appropriate to do business directly with the emperor of a country in the future!
Emperor Tai'an's originally fluctuating mood slowly calmed down in the sound of Mu Qingqing's slow and steady voice like the gurgling of flowing water.
Although I still don’t quite understand what Mu Qingqing is talking about, the original stone perspective eye, the iron horse that can run at 350 kilometers per hour, the toy car, the toy flying chicken...
But he understood a sentence from Mu Qingqing's confident eyes: the competition items of this four-nation competition are all under her control! Winning first place is a sure thing!
Since the first place was a foregone conclusion, Emperor Tai'an asked kindly, "Princess Pingyang, in your opinion, should Donglin Kingdom open a banker this year?"
Mu Qingqing smiled with her cherry lips, and gently blinked her beautiful eyes, saying in a light voice: "This year, I will be the banker, and I will give the emperor half of the profits. How about that?"
Is there any need to ask this? Emperor Tai'an stood up excitedly and laughed a few times.
Seeing Prime Minister Mu looking at him with speechless eyes, Emperor Tai'an coughed twice in embarrassment, then sat down again and said several times: "Good! Good! Good!"
Mu Qingqing knew that she had to strike while the iron was hot, so she immediately put the welfare lottery scratch card on the agenda: "Your Majesty, I have a welfare activity that everyone can participate in. It will benefit the country and the people. I wonder if you are interested in listening?"
That's really great - you describe gambling as a welfare activity. I have to admire your language skills!
"Oh, what welfare activities? Can it benefit the country and the people?" Emperor Tai'an asked puzzledly.
"I plan to open a welfare lottery scratch-off shop. The lottery tickets in it are all for the lower-class people. As long as they pay a small amount of ten or twenty cents, they can have a chance to win the first prize of one thousand taels of silver. Of course, there are other prizes - such as the first prize of five hundred taels, the second prize of three hundred taels, the third prize of one hundred taels, the consolation prize of one tael, and so on. Of course, I will control the winning rate to about 50% profit." Mu Qingqing spoke happily with a shining look in her eyes.
Emperor Tai'an listened to her talking about small coins of ten or twenty coins, and counted the population of ordinary people in Donglin State (no more than one million people), frowned and asked: "Princess Pingyang, why do I feel that you are doing a loss-making business? Although your starting point is good, for the common people at the bottom. But in this way, won't you keep losing money?"
Prime Minister Mu gave the emperor a cold look: You don't understand this, do you? Does my daughter look like someone who would do business at a loss?
Mu Qingqing raised her eyes to look at Emperor Tai'an, her black and white eyes sparkling brightly: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate these ten or twenty coins. We are selling in large quantities, with small profits but quick turnover, and the most important thing is the quantity. It is indeed to seek small benefits for the people. After the new year, when I open the No. 1 Building in the World, I will set up a large welfare lottery ticket sales point in it specifically for the dignitaries of the four countries. By then, I will make all the money of the rich people in the four countries and give half to Your Majesty, how about it?"
This made the shameless Emperor Tai'an blush with embarrassment: Did the God of Wealth decide to give me money today? One after another, it was really embarrassing.
"Then is there anything I can do?" Emperor Tai'an asked in a friendly manner. He couldn't just take advantage of others without doing anything. It was not right to say that.
Mu Qingqing lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then asked in a negotiating tone: "Your Majesty, it's almost the end of the year, should the palace give various rewards to officials? Or should each official be given a welfare lottery scratch card according to their rank this year? Officials can also give the welfare lottery tickets to the servants in the palace."
This is a good idea! You don’t have to pay money from the treasury, and you can get the lottery profit back to yourself! Isn’t this double profit?
Emperor Tai'an, who was not too good at business, thought about it and came to a conclusion: "Okay! Let's follow Princess Pingyang's suggestion."
The small businesses here are happy to cooperate with both parties!
Mu Qingqing took out the contract directly from her bosom and said to Emperor Tai'an: "Your Majesty, empty words are not enough! I am afraid that I will forget to share the profits when the time comes. Please sign the contract and the profits will go directly into your personal account and will not go into the national treasury. Is that okay?"
This little girl is really good at dealing with things! Isn't it because she is afraid that I will not trust her, so she deliberately let me sign the contract to reassure me! Sixth brother's wife is really a good person! Emperor Tai'an signed the contract and silently marked Mu Qingqing as a good person and the God of Wealth in his heart.

In Kunning Palace, the queen, with blood-red cardamom painted on her face, sat on the chaise longue and taught the fifth princess, Ye Zhaoxue, who was sitting opposite her, how to kill people without shedding blood, how to do things without leaving any traces, and other various shady means.
Ye Zhaoxue had been taught by the Queen for so long that it felt like there were pulleys under his butt, which kept turning around and around and he couldn't stop.
The queen looked at her daughter helplessly and said in a tone of regret: "You! You are about to get married, why are you still so unstable! How can you set rules in your husband's family in the future?"
"What are you afraid of! I am the legitimate princess of Donglin Kingdom. Which man dares to show disrespect to me?" Ye Zhaoxue frowned and said arrogantly.
The prince, who was sitting in the outer hall and watching the news coming from all directions, couldn't help but frowned when he heard it: his sister is really hopeless! Which man can handle this kind of arrogant character in the future? And she only grows taller but not smarter! If she meets a powerful man in the future, she will suffer!
I guess apart from my mother, I will have to rely on myself to clean up her mess...
