Chapter 1030
Although Empress Zhangsun understood Qin Mu's meaning, she was still somewhat unwilling in her heart.
Accepting the title of Princess meant that she acknowledged being on the same generation as Qin Mu.
This title broke the long-standing balance.
"Mu'er, then I would rather not have this title."
"If the Great Qin Palace cannot accommodate me, I can move out of the palace to live."
"Go to the West Market and run a small shop."
Qin Mu understood Empress Zhangsun's thoughts.
The former Empress of Great Tang going to open a shop?
"You can do whatever you want!"
Perhaps... it was not impossible!
In any case, it was much better than her living in the imperial palace without any status.
Moreover, with Empress Zhangsun's reputation among the people, once she opened a shop, the scene would surely be explosive!
It would be possible to utilize her fame.
"What kind of shop do you plan to open?"
"Ah?"
Empress Zhangsun was caught off guard.
She clearly had not expected that Qin Mu, without even hesitating, would actually agree to her opening a shop?
She had just said it casually; where had she thought about what kind of shop to open?
"I... don't know."
"How about this, you open a headhunting recruitment agency."
Qin Mu did not know if his brain was turning fast or if he had already had the idea.
He pointed out a path.
"Headhunting recruitment, what is that?"
Empress Zhangsun was blank about the new term.
Qin Mu glanced at her; the disappointed look was still there, but it had faded a lot. Now, what she carried on her face was more curiosity.
"Headhunting recruitment is helping people introduce high-end talent."
"For example, if an escort agency wants to recruit a chief escort, they need someone whose character and martial arts are top-notch."
"The proprietor can come to your shop, specify the requirements, and you introduce suitable people to him."
"It's not just for ordinary civilian shops; even local officials can be found through this method."
"High-end talent?"
Empress Zhangsun was shocked once again.
Could there be such a method?
Qin Mu's ideas were always so unexpected.
It sounded like a good idea.
Empress Zhangsun thought for a moment.
Now that Great Qin's commerce was rapidly prospering, signs for recruiting people were hanging all over the streets.
Recruiting people for those shops was originally a good business.
And she only needed to take orders for finding high-end talent.
Qin Mu's voice sounded again at the right time.
"Don't forget, there is also Lu Yu; she has a lot of such resources on hand."
"It's just that she leads a merchant caravan and is busy running around outside all year round, so she has no time to open such a shop."
"If you cooperate with her, you will surely be able to achieve something."
"This can also be considered as making some substantial contribution to Great Qin!"
Hearing the last sentence, Empress Zhangsun made up her mind.
"Okay, I'll do it!"
"As long as it's beneficial to Great Qin, you can have me do anything!"
Empress Zhangsun's vow made Qin Mu feel a bit awkward.
This woman wanted to give everything for him.
Yet he could not even give her a status.
He had originally thought that the title of Princess was also good, with a revered status.
But who knew that she would rather go out and open a shop than accept this title.
Qin Mu was truly quite helpless.
"How about this, I will bestow upon you a shop sign, making it the first royal shop in Great Qin."
"That would be wonderful, thank you, Mu'er!"
A smile finally appeared on Empress Zhangsun's face.
Although she did not get a satisfactory title, she could feel Qin Mu's concern for her.
It was just that this concern was hidden very deep, and it required her to dig to see it.
But being able to be like this, she was content.
Learning that Empress Zhangsun was leaving the imperial palace, the women of the inner palace were all somewhat reluctant to part.
Having been together for so long, Empress Zhangsun's humble and steady attitude had won the unanimous favor of the concubines in the inner palace.
But hearing that after she left the palace, she would run the first royal shop in Great Qin, it made people especially envious.
Princess Changle came bouncing to find Qin Mu.
"Brother-in-law, staying in the palace is quite boring. How about I go to Mother's shop to help out?" Qin Mu glared at Princess Changle.
"No!"
"Why not? I also want to contribute to Great Qin!"
Princess Changle pouted unhappily, grabbed Qin Mu's hand, and swung it vigorously.
Qin Mu was truly worn down by this little girl.
Why did she want to follow along with whatever she saw others doing?
"You are the number one sweet-singing princess of Great Qin; as long as you keep writing songs, that is the greatest contribution to Great Qin!"
Speaking of singing, Princess Changle was stunned for a moment.
Staring with her two large eyes, she looked adorable and dazed.
"Then can't I be a sweet-singing princess and do headhunting recruitment at the same time?"
Qin Mu laughed out loud.
The little girl was quite greedy, wanting to do everything...
"Of course not, you can only choose one."
"If you do headhunting recruitment, your fans will block the shop every day, making it impossible for your mother to do business." The little girl was clearly caught in a dilemma.
