Chapter 145: The Fairy Spirit That Answers All Prayers

Fang She was so embarrassed that his face turned red, and his eyes were about to bulge out, but he still had to bend down and get closer: "Your Majesty, I don't know anything else, I just know that more people can help get things done, and the same principle applies to money."

Emperor Lin always listened to his childhood friend's words, so he asked helplessly: "Well, tell me, how much do you want?"

Zhou Chang's phoenix eyes smiled like a fox, and he raised three fingers: "Thirty thousand taels."

"Another ten thousand taels at most, no more." The air in the imperial study was "fragrant" today, and the Emperor was also particularly cheerful and generous.

"Well..., 10,000 taels..." Zhou Chang didn't expect to get more, "However, Father, I still need to ask General Fang for a small favor."

"Eunuchs, right?" The Emperor spit out 10,000 taels, and then regretted it the next second. It seemed that he had given too much. He wanted to send them away quickly, but he felt sorry for the money, so he couldn't help but tell them, "Those eunuchs, you must not give too much. You must know how to be moderate, otherwise they will be greedy, understand?"

"Yes." Zhou Chang bowed and agreed. It was rare for Emperor Lin to give him a lecture. This was the first time in Prince Yi Fengming's memory.

But the two now have different positions. Zhou Chang is in the position of a worker and just wants a fair trade. Labor is exchanged for money, which is natural. She chooses not to stand on the side of capital.

Those who are wary of others' greed are precisely because they themselves understand greed best and judge others by their own standards.

Emperor Lin looked at Fang She again and said, "Fang She, you should go and take a look. These slaves are becoming more and more outrageous. You should know your priorities. Why don't you do the work that pays more money?"

"Yes, I will follow Prince Yi right away." Fang She bowed and responded.

"Go." Emperor Lin leaned back, took a deep breath, and sent Zhou Chang away.

Zhou Chang took his leave, and Fang She also left the imperial study.

As the two of them walked out of the imperial study, they both took a deep breath at the same time.

The skinny monkey had been waiting outside the study and luckily was spared from the harm of "Youlanxiang".

The three of them walked forward until they reached a secluded place where no one was around. Zhou Chang took out a transparent bottle made of emerald green glass and inlaid with gold from his sleeve and waved it in front of Fang She: "General Manager Fang, you should recognize this."

When Yuan Yu was in the Tianlao, he had already said that it was Fang She who bought this thing.

Fang She stopped behind Zhou Chang, his two lightbulb-like goldfish eyes did not show any surprise, but a bitter face: "Oh, my Prince Yi, this is not how it should be used, what a pity, what a pity."

"Why is it a pity?" Zhou Chang's actions in the imperial study just now were very successful, and the desired goal was basically achieved.

Fang She shook his head repeatedly, looking regretful: "The things in here need to be mixed with a few more spices and then added with flower dew to make the 'Youlan Fragrance'. Every time Your Majesty wants to use it, drop some drops into the incense burner. This will make the smell much better and last longer."

"But, just now, His Majesty seemed to like smelling this scent directly, and said it was better than the 'Youlanxiang'." Zhou Chang disagreed.

Fang She felt so distressed as if someone had dug out his goldfish eyeballs: "Your Highness, with the way you use it, who can afford it? It is not only worth a thousand gold, but most importantly, it is hard to come by. Only two bottles can be produced in three years. For nothing, those who serve Your Majesty are not so lucky to enjoy it, so you should leave more for Your Majesty to enjoy alone."

That’s true, Zhou Chang nodded, others really can’t enjoy it.

"I got this thing by accident, and it is useless." Zhou Chang raised the small transparent bottle made of emerald green glass inlaid with gold and looked at it towards the sun. There was still more than half of the liquid in it.

"Haha, Your Highness, it came in handy just now." Fang She's goldfish eyes followed the small bottle, unable to hide his desire, "There is no other place to get this thing. It is also a blessing for the Yuan family that Your Highness has such a deep connection with them."

"But it seems that it doesn't need to be called 'Youlan Fragrance'. It would be more appropriate to call it 'Youqiu Biying Fragrance'." Zhou Chang smiled as if to agree, and handed the small green bottle to Fang She. "I only have this one bottle, so I'll give it to Chief Steward Fang. I'm sure you'll need it someday."

Fang She's eyes almost popped out of his head with joy. He was about to catch it, but stopped cautiously.

Zhou Chang raised the corners of his mouth, his eyebrows curved, and he withdrew his hand again, but said: "Don't worry, General Manager Fang, I dare not cheat anyone but you."

"Yes, yes, haha..." Fang She laughed dryly twice.

"However, I do need Chief Butler Fang to do me three small favors." Zhou Chang glanced at Fang She. Now it depends on how much this little green bottle is really worth.

Fang She swallowed his saliva, and his pair of big goldfish-like eyes rolled around in his eye sockets.

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for Chief Steward Fang." Zhou Chang smiled with his eyes as curved as crescent moons.

"Please tell us what's going on, Your Highness Prince Yi." Fang She was obviously worried.

Zhou Chang looked up at the sky, calm and composed, "For the first thing, what I said in the imperial study just now was also heard by General Manager Fang. All General Manager Fang needs to do is to tell the eunuchs and palace servants who killed snakes yesterday that the wages for killing snakes today have increased from 10 coins to 30 coins per snake. Isn't this easy?"

"Just pass on a message?" Fang She obviously didn't expect the request to be so simple.

Zhou Chang looked relaxed: "Yes, just pass on a message, no need to force them to come."

Fang She had no reason not to agree: "I will definitely do whatever your Highness orders."

Zhou Chang played with the green glass bottle in his hands. "The second thing is to trouble General Manager Fang to send someone to the West Parade Ground to deliver a large incense burner and the best incense. The smell of killing snakes and boiling oil in the parade ground is really unpleasant. The incense burner from yesterday is not enough."

"That's not difficult." Fang She breathed a sigh of relief. Prince Yi really didn't lie to him.

"Of course, you can bring as many small incense burners as possible. The more the better," Zhou Chang added.

It's not her who wants it, but the plane customer.

Yesterday, there was a short-sighted person who placed an order as soon as he saw it was an incense burner in the imperial palace. However, the smell of blood and smoke from killing snakes in the West Parade Ground was so unpleasant that Zhou Chang had to focus on himself first and could not "bring goods" to the other customers.

Afterwards, she sent people to ask for a few more incense burners, but someone kept making excuses and never brought them. This made her wonder if Fang She, the "stingy old man", was secretly holding back and was unwilling to take things from the palace out for Prince Yi to use.

Fang She quickly agreed: "It's nothing, it's just a few incense burners. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will pick out the best ones and send them to you in a while."

"General Manager Fang doesn't know what the current situation of the West Parade Ground is like. The more the better, the more the better." Zhou Chang repeatedly reminded him.

As long as it is something from the palace, there is no problem in taking it out. "It's already the bottom, no matter what you choose, it's going up.

Haha, you didn’t expect that you could dig holes.”
