Chapter 27: Too Eye-Catching! Want a Good Fiefdom
The thought of plagues happening in ancient times makes me feel a little sad.
Jiang Chen was scared.
When going out in the morning.
While the fragrance on your body has not yet dissipated.
He went to the imperial study to meet the emperor.
During these seven days severe cold came.
The emperor's health is deteriorating.
Either he stays in the study or in his own bedroom.
He never even set foot into the harem.
It was convenient for him.
Jiang Chen has not been in the palace these days.
I don't spend much time with the emperor.
Therefore, we only heard rumors.
As I entered the imperial study, I smelled a strong smell of medicine.
Jiang Chen lifted the windproof curtain.
The emperor was found in the inner room.
The emperor looked pale.
At this time, he was leaning on the warm steps with his eyes closed.
It was hard to tell whether I was asleep or awake.
Jiang Chen tiptoed in.
Su Dingxia still stood beside the emperor like a stone.
See Jiang Chen go in.
He raised a finger to his lips.
Signaled Jiang Chen not to make any sound.
Jiang Chen nodded immediately.
Standing gently beside Su Dingxia .
Not long.
All I heard was the emperor coughing violently.
His face became paler and paler.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
Su Dingxia is quick-eyed and quick-handed.
He picked up the spittoon directly from the side.
He helped the emperor up and placed the spittoon to his lips.
The emperor's chest heaved violently.
He actually spat out a mouthful of bright red blood from his throat!
Su Dingxia remained calm.
After the emperor vomits out the turbid matter.
Bring the tea beside to rinse his mouth.
In just a few breaths.
The emperor's complexion looked much better.
He leaned back against the cushions on the couch.
Said to Jiang Chen.
"You're here? Is there something urgent?"
Jiang Chen bowed properly.
Said to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, many refugees outside the city are dying or getting injured due to the severe cold."
"I want to find some medicinal herbs for the refugees to prevent the plague."
The emperor nodded.
"You've thought well."
"Daxia has many water systems."
"The days of winter are very short. If we don't deal with it quickly during this period."
"Then wait until the weather warms up."
“There’s bound to be a big problem.”
"Go to the treasury and order one thousand taels of silver."
"Go to the Imperial Physician's Office and get some herbs to prevent disasters."
Jiang Chen obeyed the order.
But he didn't leave.
Instead, he spoke to the emperor with worry in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!"
The emperor waved his hand.
"No problem."
"Just some old ailments."
"You go now!"
Jiang Chen agreed and immediately went to do the two things.
However, just walked out of the imperial study.
But then I saw a man coming towards me.
It was none other than Zhou Xuan, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Seeing Jiang Chen, Zhou Xuan greeted him with a smile.
Bow to Jiang Chen.
"Master Jiang! Long time no see."
"After all, people are in high spirits when they are happy. I see that Lord Jiang looks much better now."
Jiang Chen smiled sincerely.
"Isn't that all thanks to Master Zhou?"
"Lord Zhou's face is glowing. Could something good have happened?"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xuan's expression became even worse.
He took out an invitation from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Chen.
"Master Jiang is right."
"Three days later, the child will be 100 days old."
"Master Jiang, please come over when the time comes!"
Jiang Chen wanted to slap himself.
Damn, what a coincidence.
I would say you don't look well.
Is there another person dying in your house?
"sure!"
He took the invitation with a smile.
Jiang Chen exchanged a few more words with Zhou Xuan.
Then he left.
I went to the National Treasury and the Imperial Physician's Office respectively.
Jiang Chen then went out of the city.
I still went to the house first.
As soon as Jiang Chen's carriage landed, Li Jiadong came to greet him.
"Sir, you are back?"
Jiang Chen nodded.
Went to the front room with Li Jiadong.
"Have you accomplished everything you were asked to do?"
Li Jiadong's face flushed.
Said to Jiang Chen.
"That's natural."
“There are so many refugees.”
"Of course there are all kinds of people."
"When I asked, I found out that there were many cooks, all of whom came from the old big restaurant!"
When Jiang Chen heard this, he immediately became interested.
"real?"
My family had no money in my previous life.
He also studied cooking for several years.
Therefore, I am also very good at cooking.
This is also one of the reasons why he wants to open a restaurant.
Li Jiadong looked at Jiang Chen's expression.
He was very proud of the people he had brought.
"If you are curious, you can try their craft tonight!"
Jiang Chen naturally would not refuse.
I agreed immediately.
"Then I will come back tonight."
"Also, have you been to the bustling streets of the capital?"
“Are there any shops that you want to sell out?”
Li Jiadong looked troubled.
"grown ups."
"There are some vacant shops."
"But they are all rented out, not for sale."
"I've already picked one, but the owner is adamant."
"It's difficult to just rent it and not sell it."
When Jiang Chen heard this, his heart moved.
He now holds some power and is considered a favorite of the emperor.
Besides, most of the prosperous shops in the capital are owned by the powerful and wealthy.
If you know each other well, maybe you can buy it.
"Where is the shop?"
Li Jiadong instructed truthfully.
"Sir, it's at Gate 30 on Jingwu Road."
Jiang Chen nodded.
He gave him a few more instructions before leaving.
Li Jiadong is efficient in his work.
In just seven days, he had found the cook, the shopkeeper, the storyteller, the waiter and others.
The five strong men were not willing to be outdone.
Several carpenters and bricklayers were found, as well as dozens of servants who knew how to fight and kick.
The originally empty house suddenly became lively.
It was indeed a bleak scene outside the city.
It’s winter these days.
Jiang Chen did this to prevent the disaster victims from freezing to death.
The officers and soldiers were specially asked to build a shed.
There is an iron pot in every shed.
The victims can keep warm inside.
But dozens of people still die every day in the cold winter.
It's really sad.
Jiang Chen arrived.
Then some refugees greeted Jiang Chen.
During this time outside the city, Jiang Chen has established considerable prestige.
Watching the soldiers carry the dead victims to other places.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but shook his head.
Jiang Haiping saw Jiang Chen like this.
sidewalk.
"Master Jiang, you don't have to worry about it."
"These past few years have been unlucky."
"The number of refugees who die from disasters every year is too numerous to count."
"In my opinion, unless there is a place where they can settle down completely."
"Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to survive."
Hearing his words, Jiang Chen thought of something else.
He was knighted.
Logically, he could have his own fiefdom.
If you bring these people to your own fiefdom.
Let them cultivate the land and grow food.
That will also have a huge economic effect!
"General Jiang, do you know the area within a hundred miles of the imperial city?"
"What's the Feng Shui location?"
Looking at Jiang Haiping, Jiang Chen asked.
Jiang Haiping frowned and thought for a while.
Said to Jiang Chen.
"There is a large and beautiful area to the north of the Imperial City, with mountains and water nearby."
"But it was a mass grave before, and many people were unlucky."
“It just sits there.”
"Why? Lord Jiang wants to find a place as a fiefdom?"
"Alas, I advise you to find a proper place."
"Don't be contaminated by the bad luck of the dead!"
