Chapter 159 "Uncle and Nephew" First Meeting

This time, he came to the royal capital prepared, not forgetting that he had brought all the liquidity that he could use at the moment, but at this price, plus the raw materials that had just been booked for another 100,000 taels, the silver was a little out of hand.

Shen Nishang was familiar with the accounts, and when she saw Zhang Shaohan's expression, she knew what he was worried about, she smiled: "It's okay, the gap is not big, I'll take 25,000 taels out here." ”

She doesn't have much money to spend at the moment, originally Yuchun had five thousand taels in her hand, and the dividend was thirty-five thousand taels a few days ago, even if she took out twenty-five thousand taels, the remaining fifteen thousand would be enough to support her own expenses in the future.

Zhang Shaohan was a little ashamed, he was also hesitating, but he collected the original business of the Zhang family, although the business of the Zhang family was started by his grandfather, but after two generations, it is not only his family, and the relatives and in-laws have participated in the shares for decades, although the right to speak is still in the hands of his father, it does not mean that there is no opposition.

Even if it's relatives and friends, sometimes it's just a good idea.

In the end, it was Zhang's father who made the decision to let the prickly person shut up, and in the end, he negotiated and negotiated, and only one into five of his two shares really belonged to his own family.

Not forgetting that the prospect of living is considerable, he is also very confident, but after all, it is just the beginning, even if this five is taken out, it is not enough for this shortfall, but if he wants others to take out the silver put in it again, or use the original silver at home, it is also a little difficult for him.

With the identities of Ling Fei Shangzilu and Mu Qing, they only have 20% of the shares, and among them, Ling Fei and Shangzilu still account for 20% of the shares, and he alone gets 20% of the shares, and he is somewhat ashamed in his heart.

"Don't overthink it. Shen Nishang saw his thoughts somewhat, didn't say much, just smiled like this to comfort him.

In the past relationship, she has already seen that Zhang Shaohan is a little uneasy, he is a native of this world, and he has an innate concept and vigilance about class and identity.

So in every time he got along, he never said a word except when he had to speak.

She saw it all.

It was still after the birthday of Mrs. Si last time and the past few days of getting along with the same road, Zhang Shaohan slowly let go.

But in Shen Nishang's eyes, Zhang Shaohan is indeed a rare talent, and his conduct is also good, since everyone works together, and it is not just a matter of dealing with each other in March and May, to get along for a long time, the more harmonious the relationship, of course, the better.

After meeting the tea money, the three of them got into the carriage and went to the Ruyi Silver Building on Zhuque Street for a turn, Shen Nishang looked at it more and more satisfied, and glanced at Zhang Shaohan with a smile before going home.

On the way back, the two were in a good mood and chatted.

Shen Nishang asked curiously, "Who is the person that the fifth young master of the Qi family has a crush on, and why do you spend so much silver?"

The Qi family is not a small portal, even if the fifth young master Qi is from the side room of the second room, he should not be too short of silver, and he even wants to secretly sell his mother's dowry shop to please his sweetheart, and this sweetheart doesn't know what the origin is?

More than 40,000 taels of silver, even if it is the princess who pleases her, she can get it.

Zhang Shaohan laughed when he heard it, this person's name is really an acquaintance, he smiled and said a name in a low voice.

"It turned out to be her!" Shen Nishang was surprised for a moment, and suddenly smiled, really a little unexpected, pursed her lips and smiled, shook her head, and did not continue to comment.

Zhang Shaohan smiled: "This is a first-class name among the nobles of the royal capital, I heard that there are many people who are sought after in the future, but it is really rare to see such a fifth young master as Qi." This time it is said that this is the sixteenth birthday of the county lord, which is why he is so generous. ”

Is it not uncommon?

They are all about to go bankrupt and smile.

After Shen Nishang smiled, she suddenly thought: "Then this Hefeng Mansion is also related to this Jade County Lord." ”

"It's okay, it's just a concubine, and now it's just because she's pregnant," Zhang Shaohan said, "It's not a serious in-law, I'm afraid I may not be able to enter the eyes of this county lord." Of course, if this fetus is really born, it will naturally be different, and the identity of a side room should be able to give to the Zhao family. ”

Shen Nishang nodded, thinking about the content of the gossip between the man surnamed Wang and Zhang Shaohan earlier, and couldn't help but wonder: "The two young masters of the Mi family should be not young, right?"

Zhang Shaohan thought for a while, when he came to the royal capital a few years ago, the uncle of the Mi family seemed to have just passed the age and stood up: "I have heard some things about the Mi family in the royal capital, the head of the Mi family is a late bloomer, and he only broke through the sixth layer of the heart method at the age of twenty-eight to get married, and the two sons and one daughter under his knees are all born by the original match, but they were born late, and when the eldest daughter was born, the head of the Mi family was almost forty. Later, the eldest daughter married into King Jian's mansion, and she was the mother of the lord of Huanyu County, the current princess of King Jian's mansion. The eldest young master of the Mi family should be about thirty-four now, and the second young master is five or six years younger, and he is almost close now. ”

There are no children at such an age, it is really rare to say, Shen Nishang unconsciously thought of the Shili Pumi family, and the two young masters of the Shili Pumi family are considered to be cousins and nephews of the same lineage.

The two young masters of the Shili Pumi family have been married for many years, and only the eldest young master has a son, and the second young grandmother has already slipped three children as far as she knows, and Wang Du's two cousins, wives and concubines, have a lot of pregnancies, but none of them were born, which is really rare enough.

This Mi family doesn't know if it's a problem with blood or feng shui.

It's no wonder that Hefeng Lou is so jubilant, the Mi family has countless concubines, the reason why I like this Miss Zhao family, I am afraid that I also think that Mrs. Zhao has given birth to nine sons in a row, but this Miss Zhao family is also considered to be angry, the two young masters of the Mi family add up to dozens of wives and concubines, and there are not a few who have been pregnant, but they have not exceeded three months, only this Miss Zhao is now six months pregnant, I heard that it has been found out to be a son, the pregnancy has been stable enough after six months, if there is no accident, once born, then ninety out of nine is the future heir of the Mi family.

Shen Nishang smiled faintly in her heart, it was really a coincidence, on the first day of coming to the royal capital, she picked a teahouse at random and had a relationship with the Mi family.

However, no matter whether the Mi family has bad feng shui or a problem with the bloodline, it has nothing to do with her, and after thinking about it for a while, she put the Mi family's affairs aside, and chatted with Zhang Shaohan about the situation of Mu Qing and Ling Fei after they entered the palace and the condition of the Queen Mother.

###

Mu Qing and Ling Fei were in the imperial study at this time.

Dali Longwu Emperor Li Changzhi was originally the adopted son of the Queen Mother, and was raised by the Empress Dowager Jian after birth, and the following year, the Empress Dowager Jian was pregnant and gave birth to the eldest princess Li Ruxiang. Nine years later, Empress Dowager Jian gave birth to a son-in-law, the first prince. The first prince fell from a horse and died at the age of ten, and three months later, the eighteen-year-old Emperor Longwu was made the crown prince, and the twenty-three-year-old emperor died and ascended the throne with the support of the queen mother, and it has been fifteen years so far.

In the past fifteen years, under the rule of Emperor Longwu, although there has been no great achievement that can be recorded in the annals of history, in the past ten years, the government and the opposition have not made waves in the sea, and they can be regarded as political and harmonious.

Emperor Longwu, who was Chinese New Year's Eve eight years old at the time, had an elegant face, and his figure was also maintained very well, with a pair of good-looking and very affinity peach blossom eyes, except for a few clear fine lines at the corners of his eyes, he was also a beautiful man with a good demeanor.

Looking at the kind and pleasant Emperor Longwu, Mu Qing only felt admiration in his heart.

When he and Ling Fei came, Emperor Longwu was discussing with several important ministers, and the two of them waited in the side hall for almost an hour before seeing Emperor Longwu.

As soon as he saw Emperor Longwu's peach blossom eyes that were seven or eight points similar to him, Mu Qing felt very kind in his heart, and Emperor Longwu treated him very kindly, even if they were separated by a layer of blood, the uncle and nephew were not separated because they had never seen each other for seventeen years.

After sitting down for half an hour, the two chatted a lot of homely gossip, and when mentioning the eldest princess's condition, Emperor Longwu sighed: "...... The royal sister was also very close to me before she got married, she has a good temperament, and her nature is also lively, and there is nothing she doesn't like in the palace and outside the palace. Before getting married, she also told me that I and the imperial brother would go to Yunzhou to see her in the future. I didn't expect the world to be changeable, but after a few years of hard work, the emperor's brother ...... Even she ......"

Mu Qing smiled gloomily and said, "My mother is also worried about my uncle." I remember when I was three years old, my mother was not seriously ill at that time, and she told me about the original palace affairs. He said that she liked to look at the stars and refused to sleep in the house but in the open air, so her uncle caught many fireflies and put them in the tent to lull her to sleep. ”

She told you that. Emperor Longwu laughed and recalled with a happy expression, "I remember that she was only six years old at that time. You mother, born different from the princess next to her, she is not happy to get good-looking clothes and jewelry, she likes those flowers and grass and those stars and moons when she is young, if she picks flowers for her, she doesn't like it, saying that flowers have to grow in the soil to look good. Later, when I was older, I followed the palace people who served the flowers and trees all day long to learn to plant flowers, and I got a lot of soil, and the queen mother punished her several times, but in the end she still couldn't resist her. ”

Mu Qing also smiled: "My mother likes to plant flowers, and the orchids outside my father's study are all planted by my mother." ”

Emperor Longwu shook his head, as if he had thought of something, looked at Mu Qing and asked, "How is your father now?"

Mu Qing paused invisibly: "...... Pretty good. ”

"I heard that your father practiced family law on you last time," Emperor Longwu glanced at Ling Fei next to him and smiled at Mu Qing, "...... It's not easy, is it?"

"Don't blame Dad...... It's me who doesn't fight on my own. Mu Qing lowered his eyes and whispered.

"I've read the letter you wrote. Emperor Longwu didn't say much on this topic, "This is back to the royal capital, but there are some plans?"

Mu Qing glanced at Ling Fei, and under Ling Fei's suggestive eyes, he touched his nose and plucked up his courage to say, "I don't have too many plans, but if my uncle is sent, I also want to learn to do something." ”

Emperor Longwu raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Fei on the side, Ling Fei looked at his nose and nose, and sat very upright, and Emperor Longwu laughed lightly.

Mu Qing was a little feverish at the root of Emperor Longwu's laughter, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he looked at Emperor Longwu and said, "I know that I haven't done anything serious, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to help my uncle much right now." But I really want to learn, and I ask my uncle to give me this opportunity. ”

Mu Qing looked at Emperor Longwu with a firm and serious expression.

Emperor Longwu looked at him deeply, got up and paced deeply, and after a while, he turned to look at Mu Qing: "You have this ambition, and I am happy in my heart, but family affairs are different from national affairs. You have to help me do things, and that's a state affair, not a family affair. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Uncle, Changsheng understands. Mu Qing nodded seriously and glanced at Ling Fei, "This time, Zixun also told me a lot, and I also thought about it myself." ”

Emperor Longwu let out an "oh", and seemed to be interested: "I've thought about it myself, let's hear it?"

"At present, although the world is seven points, but the eastern capital, Xunyang, Weiguo, and Pakistan are divided into the east, southwest, northwest, and northeast four corners, and the eastern capital of Ba is a country of projectiles, although the territory of Wei and Xunyang is better than that of the eastern capital and Pakistan, but the northwest is desert, and the northeast is cold, all of which are insufficient. Therefore, in the past 300 years, the only people who have really been in charge of Niu Er are Dali, Cang, and Mao. Weiguo lacks grain, iron, and wire, and Xunyang lacks iron, salt, and silk. Pakistan is located in the southwest, with many lofty mountains and mountains, dangerous roads, and difficult external transportation, so most of them are self-sufficient. Among the four countries, the eastern capital is located at the end of the Zhongjiang River, facing Xunyang across the sea——"

Mu Qing said while looking at Emperor Longwu's complexion, slowly becoming a little less timid, and his tone became more and more smooth, "Compared with the other three countries, the eastern capital is rich in production, especially the salt industry is the most prosperous, the eastern capital borders on my Dali and Cangguo, Dali is rich in production, and there are not many commercial contacts with the eastern capital, but there is a lot of trade between the two sides of salt and silk with Cangguo over the years." Cangguo bought salt silk from the eastern capital, changed hands and sold it to Xunyang at a high price, both should be unwilling, but one is that Cangguo is powerful, and the other is far away by sea, with the current strength of the ship is unable to sail directly, the risk of taking the sea route is large and the consumption is not small, plus the taboo Cangguo secretly shot, so it maintains the current situation......"

Emperor Longwu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Look at what I have done, continue to say, well, talk about the two countries of Cangmao, by the way, I will talk about everything." ”

"This ......," Mu Qing hesitated.

"What's the matter? Don't you dare to say?" said Emperor Longwu.

Mu Qing was indeed a little afraid to say it.

He had never paid attention to these things before, and even if he did, he would turn his head and forget about them, and never think deeply. But since that day Shen Nishang went to the other courtyard to talk to him, he realized that he was really ignorant in the past, as a child of the scholar clan, not to mention that he could not practice martial arts, even for these family and country affairs, the government and the people's livelihood have never used the slightest thought, no wonder Mu Dongheng would rather take Bai Yuanzhi with him than take him with him.

Before coming to the royal capital, he collected some information by himself, and also humbly consulted Ling Fei and Zhang Shaohan respectively. Zhang Shaohan also has unique insights in terms of commerce and trade, and most of the information about the production and trade of the countries he mentioned comes from exchanges with Zhang Shaohan.
