Chapter 171 Industry and Commerce
Sima Yulou and Jin Xuan returned to the tea room, and the women were coming out of the room.
Sima Yulou smiled and asked Yun Hui, "How does the tea cooked by the tea monk taste good?" β
Yun Hui smiled and nodded, "It's really extraordinary." β
Jin Xuan said: "There is a stele left by Buddha Tucheng behind this Biyun Temple, and there are a few flying murals from Dunhuang, let's go over and take a look." β
Jin Ru pursed her lips and chuckled at Jin Yi, and took Ming'er's hand, "Let's go, my cousin will take you to play." As he spoke, he took Yunhui with his other hand and walked towards the back of the temple.
Jin Yi followed behind everyone, and Sima Yulou slowed down and walked with her.
Gradually distanced himself from the person in front of him, Jin Yi asked him softly, "Does the little grandfather have a good relationship with the King of the East China Sea?" β
"The two of them practiced martial arts together in front of the commander of Weida when they were young, so they can be regarded as senior brothers."
"Oh......" Jin Yi nodded, smiling and turning her head to look at him, "What about you?" Before you worshiped Mr. Ji, who did you learn martial arts with? β
"My father." Sima Yulou smiled warmly.
"It turns out that you, the children of the family, also want to learn martial arts since childhood."
"Most of them are just to strengthen their bodies, like Juntian, who were born more than ten years early, they also had to go to the battlefield to earn military merits. Although it is peaceful now, these military families in the city still value the skills of their children. When I started to work hard, I was younger than Ming'er. β
Jin Yi remembered that the Qingrong Marquis Mansion was also from a military background, but none of the men in the family inherited the ancestral will. She looked at Ming'er who was bouncing in front of her, and said in a low voice: "The county lord has been a little indulgent to his upbringing, but fortunately, Ming'er has a mellow nature. β
Sima Yulou nodded, "Ming'er's temperament is like his father, and when he was in Beisai, he often followed his father to patrol around. β
"Ming'er is still so young? How can the county lord be reluctant? Jin Yi was surprised.
"When I was four or five years old, I sat in my father's saddle and followed him around, and my mother never worried about me. Yunhui likes to imitate her mother in everything, but she is too anxious, and often quarrels with her brother-in-law over Ming'er's affairs, and her brother-in-law has a gentle temperament, and when he was scolded so badly, he ran out of the house and lived in the barracks. This time she came back with Ming'er, and I'm afraid that my brother-in-law will chase after her soon. β
Jin Yi shook her head when she heard this, Yun Hui was also arrogant enough, and she scolded her husband so much that she didn't dare to go home. But it sounds like the eldest son of An Bianhou is very considerate and caring for Yun Hui.
Think about it, if Yunhui is just blindly arrogant, how can her in-laws and husband blindly accommodate her. It can be seen from her attitude towards the princess and Sima Yulou that she should also be a person with a strong temperament on the outside and soft on the inside.
Seeing that she was silent, Sima Yulou stopped talking, but just walked slowly with her.
The smell on her body is very good, not the smell of ordinary incense, but a faint floral fragrance, such as cloves, lilies, and peonies...... The various aromas were mixed together, and there was a hint of medicinal fragrance that emanated softly from her hands and hair. Although surrounded by pine and cypress bamboo forests, solemn Buddhist temples, stele towers, and melodious bells echoing in the mountains, as long as she is by her side, it is like being in a huge garden, full of flowers and purple and red.
Today, I specially arranged for her to travel with Yun Hui, just to let her know more about Yun Hui's temperament, so that she can get along in the future. Yunhui has a flamboyant personality, but in addition, her personality is quite similar to her mother. He knew that his mother had many secrets hidden in her heart, and he didn't even want to tell them, maybe he could find out a thing or two from Yun Hui.
"Is Uncle Cheng okay lately?" Jin Yi asked him suddenly.
After the edict of marriage came down, Uncle Cheng asked Qian Mo to bring a letter over, and he was very pleased in the letter, and said that he would write a letter to Mr. SΓΉ Ji, presumably he would be very happy to know that his two disciples had such a marriage.
"He has been very busy recently, and I want to contact many merchants in the Western Regions to discuss the business of the Western Regions, and he is doing it. But the love is good, just like the father who watched his daughter grow up finally marry a good family, he is happy. Sima Yulou's smile looked a little proud.
Jin Yi glanced at him with disgust, noncommittal to his smugness.
Thinking of Uncle Cheng, my heart feels very warm. For so many years, he has indeed supported and taken care of himself as a servant and a father, and if it were not for him, he would have died in the desert long ago.
Sima Yulou said casually, "Recently, if you have time, you will follow Qian Mo to learn more about the industry, look at the account book, and then I will also point to you, a virtuous helper, to help me take care of the business." β
Jin Yi's eyes widened, and she said in amazement: "Let me take care of business?" β¦β¦ I don't. She looked at him suspiciously, trying to see what he really meant, "Are you really going to do business?" β
"You can't learn it. β¦β¦ What's so bad about doing business? Although Shinong is the lowest businessman, if Huajing wants to be truly strong, it cannot blindly exclude both industry and commerce. Jin Xuan also understood this truth before he went to work in the Ministry of Industry. β
"I heard from the merchants from the Western Regions that there were people who came to us on huge ships that had been at sea for months, and they brought spices, glass, and wool products, which were expensive but strange goods, and everyone in the world flocked to them. Then buy ceramics, silk and other goods from us at a low price and ship them back, and the profit is amazingly ....... Therefore, work cannot be abolished, and business is equally important, otherwise we will only rely on farmland to pay taxes and rely on the sky for food, where will there be excess funds to develop national strength? β
Speaking of this, he paused, and comforted her in a slightly seductive tone: "If you help me take care of it, when I go out far in the future, I will take you with me, okay?" It's much more interesting than being an inner woman, isn't it? β
Jin Yi raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes full of surprise.
She was not raised in a deep boudoir mansion, since she was a child, she galloped freely on the desert, and her mother often took her to gallop along the Cam River, looking at the huge sunset hanging low at the end of the golden desert, and in the silence of the wilderness, her mind could drift far and far away with the wind.
In the past three or four months in Jianye, although he lived in the exquisite and gorgeous Hou Mansion, and his food and clothing were luxurious and exquisite, the intrigue between his relatives, emptiness and grievances were really exhausting and depressed.
Sima Yulou's voice was low, with a solemn promise, "Don't worry about Yekang, I will find out the truth for you." β
Jin Yi bowed his head slightly, but there was a faint sense of loss in his eyes, it has been almost ten years since Yekang destroyed the country, and now the emperor and queen have an ambiguous attitude, and the Marquis of Northwest Wei Yuan is also thousands of miles away. If there is no small building, he may not have the opportunity to find out the truth in his life. (To be continued.) )
