Chapter 257 263. Pingyang Marquis Mansion 11
The sharp sound made the empty hall echo.

The timid people's legs had already gone weak, but Yun Tutu and the other three stood in the hall without changing their expressions.

"Okay, step back," Murong Na waved his hand to stop them. The three people in front of him obviously did not take him, the emperor, seriously, but he could do nothing about them.

"You are an interesting little girl. Don't forget, whose territory are you stepping on now?"

"Your Majesty, if I didn't have some ability to protect myself, do you think I would be here?"

……

Murong Rong had never felt so aggrieved as today, and he also wanted to save his last dignity in front of his subjects. "What you said makes sense. After all, you are not my subjects, and I am not a king who kills people indiscriminately. I invited you into the palace because I still want to make a deal with you."

If you can't bluff them, then you can only do the deal openly.

Although he was the king of a country, he was also poor.

The taxes paid every year, in addition to the expenses of officials and the harem, also include military salaries, disaster relief funds, etc. The national treasury has long been in deficit.

Lin Shan was knowledgeable and tactful. In addition to giving 20% ​​of the dividends to the princess, he also asked her to give him 50% privately, which relieved some of the pressure on his side.

But these were far from enough. He wanted more secret recipes to enrich the national treasury, and he also wanted to be a king in a prosperous era.

Yun Tutu didn't know about his ambitions, so of course she was happy to make a deal with him.

She came in a hurry this time, and apart from some cosmetics and jewelry, she really didn't bring anything extra.

"I didn't know that His Majesty the Emperor wanted me to come for such an important matter. I didn't make any preparations. Apart from some cosmetics and pearl jewelry, I didn't have anything else."

There were some other things that she kept for her own use and there was no way she could exchange them.

Murong Rong was a little disappointed, but still said, "It doesn't matter, we can change whatever we have first, but do you have any secret recipe like soap?

It is really not easy to be an emperor, you have to think about the people of the world.

I am thinking about seeking benefits for the people of the world, and I hope Miss Yun can give me some help."

Yun Tutu rolled his eyes in his heart and said, you are the emperor, this is of course what you should do.

But speaking of secret recipes, she really has one. She often searches for and prints them out just to deal with situations like this one.

"Speaking of secret recipes, I do have some, but you know I'm a businessman..."

Before the emperor could say anything, Liu Fengning jumped out to express his loyalty, "Miss Yun, don't forget who you are talking to?"

Zhang Yaowen took a step forward and protected Yun Tutu, but he did not take out his weapon, because there were some secret guards hiding around the palace, and it would be bad if a conflict really occurred.

"Marquis Pingyang, step back." Murong Rong saw the murderous intent in Zhang Yaowen's eyes. Coupled with his imposing aura, he didn't know whether his secret guards could rush up to protect him the moment he made a move.

"What Miss Yun said makes sense. We are talking business, and these can be discussed."

For the good things in Yun Tutu's hands, Murong Na felt that it would be novel to change the way of getting along with others.

No matter whether it was the former court or the harem, everyone was trembling with fear when they saw him. It was rare that he saw Yun Tutu and the others today without any fear of him, which also gave him a novel feeling in his heart.

Make him feel like an ordinary person, a person with flesh and blood. He is not a lonely person who is high and mighty, but an ordinary person who can negotiate with others on an equal footing.

Yun Tutu really didn't have the slightest good impression of Lord Liu, but he looked at Liu Ziqi and Lin Xi behind him, wanting to help them.

"I can come to this place because of Liu Ziqi. If I have the chance to come again in the future, I will have to go through her. Let's find a place, block out some idle people, and sit down to talk." Yun Tutu would not do something like crossing the river and then destroying the bridge. Bringing Liu Ziqi with her at this time will only benefit them and their daughter.

Murong Rong glanced at Liu Fengning and said, "Marquis Ping'an should wait outside the palace."

Liu Fengning dared not speak out but said, "I obey your order."

Led by the emperor, they came to the Qinzheng Hall, where the emperor worked. There was a pile of memorials on the table.

The emperor had stools brought in, and after everyone took their seats, palace maids served them tea and snacks.

Of course, Lin Xi and her daughter had no seats, so they stood respectfully aside.

They all knew clearly that they could stand here because of Yun Tutu’s kindness.

Since they can't help, they can't hinder us either.

"Your Majesty, we won't beat around the bush. We brought some cosmetics this time. If you don't need them, we can make a deal with the Marquis and the others."

Murong Rong felt a headache when thinking about the women in the harem, and said, "Don't make a deal with Madam Hou this time, but don't worry, I will reward them."

If Liu Ziqi and the others were allowed to take these things out today, there would be chaos in the harem.

He nodded to the chief steward, and after a while he came back with a group of eunuchs carrying a box.

When he opened the box, he found golden ingots inside. "I heard that Miss Yun likes these things, so I asked someone to prepare some for her. Can you take a look and see if they are enough?"

It seems that her image of wanting gold was so deeply rooted in people's hearts that even the emperor found out about it.

Yun Tutu looked at Liu Ziqi and waved to release all the cosmetics and skincare products in the storage ring. "Madam and Miss, please help me count them according to the previous transaction ratio."

Even if the other party is an emperor, Yun Tutu does not want to take advantage of him. After all, she set the rules herself.

Murong breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Yun Tutu would ask for too much. Fortunately, he was still trustworthy.

He made many arrangements in order to please the other party.

But then, he looked at Yun Tutu with burning eyes, "The girl has a lot of tricks up her sleeve."

"It's just a trifle," Yun Tutu did not explain further. If she dared to say that she had a storage ring, the emperor would definitely want it.

In order to avoid wasting time, she should keep the good things hidden.

"Does each of you have this ability?" I'm really curious. It would be nice if I could go to another world.

"It all depends on luck," Yun Tutu laughed. "I do have a few other secret recipes, Your Majesty..."

……

Since he was doing business with the emperor, Yun Tutu naturally had to give out some good things. Of course, he couldn't be as unreserved as he was to Qin Shihuang.

Methods of cement production, recipes for making soil fertilizer, pig farming technology and management, and epidemic prevention methods for pig farming...

I picked out some things related to people's livelihood. With these things, I can do something good for the people in this dimension.

Seeing this, the emperor was dissatisfied.

Zhang Yaowen said, "Improving people's livelihood and making life easier for the people also means a rich and strong country. Are you still worried that this country will be difficult to govern?"
