Chapter 641: The First Pot of Gold

The prince and Master Ma Ping entered the palace and brought the first pot of gold that the prince was doing business with: a silver ticket of 50,000 taels of silver. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info looked at a dozen silver tickets, the queen mother's eyes were moist: she didn't dare to guarantee that there were no ancients, but in her memory, the officials of the Qing Dynasty, including those who started with the prince, did not take silver from their own pockets to the emperor, all of them asked for the emperor. For example, Wu Sangui, like a bottomless pit, has an increasing appetite. Hundreds of thousands, millions, and I don't know if his own share of credit is worth these silvers.

In addition to the silver ticket, there is also a recital of Ma Yushi, which details the details and approximate accounts of the prince's business. Master Ma is a literary person, telling the emperor and the queen mother that the prince's silver is a copper and a copper savings, from clothing to tofu brain, painstakingly managed, all people do their best, even a copper is not bad, to count the money is a line of baskets of copper, of course, there are different sizes of silver.

The emperor solemnly personally issued a receipt to the prince:

"On August 10, the sixteenth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Aixin Jueluo Fulin received 50,000 taels of silver from Prince Rui's business profits of Aixin Jueluo Fuyou, and issued this receipt certificate. Witness Empress Dowager, Inspector Yu Shi Ma Ping.

The emperor was very excited, and walked around the main hall of Cining Palace with his hands behind his back. He didn't know what to say or how to express his feelings. Since the royal brother came back to now, it has been more than four months, and he has brought him 50,000 taels! The emperor's investment is 10,000 taels for several merchants to build a few houses, as well as 800 taels for making ice cream and ice cream, a total of 10,800 taels, and counting the 1,000 taels that the Queen Mother gave to the Chen family of Fang Fujin, it is only 11,800 taels. But the royal brother brought him 50,000 taels, before this the royal brother gave the gift of the specific value of the silver I don't know, after returning to the house to build a greenhouse, ice cellar, mushroom shed, as well as Fujin, side Fujin trial silver, the royal brother added in I don't know how much! He never reported a word of hard work. Those who sacrifice their lives on the battlefield and win thousands of miles away are all good generals, those who work hard for the country and do their best are loyal ministers, and those like the emperor's brother are also loyal ministers and good generals!

Ma Yushi's notebook cites a large number of facts to illustrate the hardships of Prince Rui's business, and there is not a penny of profit in it, only half of it is left as capital, and the other half is divided into ten parts, five shares are given to the emperor, and the remaining five shares are given to processors and operators. Ma Ping also said that according to the general law of doing business, the profit is only one percent, that is, if you invest ten taels of silver, you can earn one tael. The prince only deducted half of the capital, and he not only made nothing, but also put a lot of capital into it. No one knew about it, and he didn't talk to anyone.

Hearing this, even the Queen Mother burst into tears.

Prior to this, the emperor had already issued a secret edict to the prince, that is, no one was allowed to ask Prince Rui for business silver under any pretext, and the business profits handed over by Prince Rui should be handed over to the queen mother or the emperor in person. If I unfortunately die, the next emperor will inherit the matter. Because it is a secret edict, it cannot be explained to the Queen Mother and Ma Ping.

The prince was very sad, it seemed that the emperor was already arranging the aftermath. However, I still admire the emperor's arrangement, and if I want to take advantage of the loopholes in this in the future, I also have a certificate of refusal!

The prince gave the emperor 50,000 taels of silver before the Mid-Autumn Festival in order to stabilize the hearts of the emperor and the queen mother. Because the prince felt that there was a conflict between the emperor and the queen mother, it was possible that he knew about Zhu Zheng. There are many things in the world that "if no one knows them, they must not do them." "There are no impermeable walls. With so many guards standing guard, and servants serving, who can guarantee that these people's mouths are 100% so tight? In particular, the details of the personal lives of high-ranking people attract the most attention. Dolgon was powerful at the time, and if he arrested and insulted the husband and wife who were born as maids and doctors, it would definitely be unfair, and no matter how they tried to find a way, they had to be revealed to the outside world.

This matter is very unfavorable to the prince. Doctor Zhu and Zheng Jiao were both from the Rui Wangfu, and they were not to blame at that time, because Dolgon was in the limelight, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, not to mention what happened to the maid, even if he tortured and killed Prince Su Haoge, no one dared to say a word, and the prince was in prison at that time. However, ten years have passed, and Dorgon's son is already ten years old, and he can't do without a clue. What is the purpose of concealing this?

Moreover, the queen mother will also be dissatisfied with herself, fortunately, Zhu Zheng is "dead", which can make the emperor relieve his hatred and anger, otherwise there will really be a group of people who will be beheaded under the unforgivable charge of "bullying the king". is really "a companion like a tiger", and doing so much still makes the emperor a little dissatisfied. What is the sin of that child? What do you get by killing him? Therefore, the 50,000 taels of silver sent by the prince to the palace are still very timely, and it is a big deal to alleviate the conflict and save his life. Without life, the mission will not be completed.

Fortunately, Zhu Zheng's matter was taken care of by the Queen Mother, otherwise it would have been even more terrifying.

This silver is really hard-earned, and Ma Ping is a witness to all kinds of business.

The prince thought that he had just started doing business and had no experience in all aspects, so he might be better in the future. If she hadn't said it, the Queen Mother would have thought that she had kept the money she earned.

There were many loyal ministers around the former emperor Taiji, including Dolgon, as well as Prince An, Prince Suwu, Prince Chengzeyu, etc., which one did not risk his life to fight bloodily for the establishment and consolidation of the Qing Dynasty? The prince has already put his life on the line twice! It stands to reason that he can lie on the merit book and enjoy wealth and honor, but he still works for the emperor's younger brother. The Queen Mother often felt that her suspicions were not suspicious of stealing the axe, but years of political competition made her develop a sensitive and vigilant sense of everything.

As the saying goes, it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country, many people who have fame and title will eat their old books, either to fight for power and profit, or to spend all day and wine, the merits of Lord Rui needless to say, the success of the return to the country to make contributions. Fifty thousand taels, if it's silver, it's a bunch of white flowers. Just calmly handed over to the emperor? After being moved, the Queen Mother's doubts still popped up: Does Lord Rui really want to fill the treasury? Or is there another purpose? Is there any silver in this world that you don't want?

Looking at it now, the prince's business includes cloth processing, clothing processing, agricultural product processing, fruit juice, cold drinks, and pastry processing. There are also franchise stores that the Queen Mother and the Emperor don't know about for the time being, as well as several consignment stores along the canal.

In the future, the business items will definitely increase, and 50,000 taels of silver will be bought first.

After Wang Ye and Fu Jin returned home, they convened a meeting with Mr., Mrs. Chen, Yun'er, and Tian Liang, and told everyone the purpose of handing over 50,000 taels of silver. The next step is how to better and steadily increase revenue.

Tian Liang told the prince that in addition to the upward sales trend of corn husk products, there are also merchants from Goryeo who want to order sachet products in large quantities, and Westerners who want to order corn husk products and lace products. The profits of several franchise stores are also good, the cultural supplies of Zhou's shopkeeper are selling very well, peony paintings, cardboard paintings are also very good, and Gu Ruyi's embroidery has also been ordered. Brother Ruiqian's cloth is in short supply, and Nalan Department Store also delivers every day.

Fujin mobilized the servants and eunuchs, let them learn the processing of corn husk products, and then divided a group of girls and grandmothers to make sachets. At the beginning of the sachet, a French royal merchant came to order lace, which is a single flower crocheted by a crochet. Fu Jin separated the maid and the mother-in-law and took charge of the processing tasks of sachets and lace respectively.

Now you can use the management talent of Ueda Liang. Combined with the management methods of exotic hotels and small enterprises and the actual situation of the Qing Dynasty, he formulated a set of management methods suitable for the royal family-style enterprises, clarified the specific division of labor and rewards and punishments for each person, and made rational use of the human resources of the royal palace, so that a number of operations were carried out in a stable manner step by step.

The Queen Mother listened carefully to Lord Rui talk about some of her thoughts on this business experience, and there was not a word of self-boasting and asking for merit and reward, but only that she lacked experience in business, and there would definitely be such and such mistakes in the process of doing business. The loyalty and righteousness of Haoran are very touching.

The Queen Mother has no evidence that Prince Rui has any other purpose, and she can't always punish Prince Rui for nothing, it's too late to praise, how can she pour cold water for no reason? So the Queen Mother had a secret conversation with Ma Ping for a while, and asked him to continue to pay attention to the movements of Prince Rui and let Ma Ping come back. Ma Ping was so angry that he wanted to resign. But think about it again, you can't pick on the son, if you resign, the queen mother will inevitably send another official to monitor the prince, in case it is a bad guy, it will be bad, and the prince will be hindered everywhere, and the prince will not only work in vain but will also be investigated and punished, and he must protect the prince!

The emperor didn't have the idea of the queen mother, just happy, in so many months, the kung fu royal brother handed over 50,000 taels of profits, what about a year? How can there be hundreds of thousands. And that's just the beginning! Although it is a drop in the bucket for the entire Jiangshan Sheji, it is better than nothing, right? The three feudal kings in the south always asked the imperial court for silver, saying that the military budget was tight, and the surrounding small countries and the Rakshasa kingdom (Russia) in the north were always looking for trouble. The emperor thinks that these three vassal kings are lions with big mouths, and there is no war to fight, so what do you want so much military money for? Don't try anything.

In fact, Shunzhi's idea is right. The biggest disadvantage of setting up a feudal town is that it gives them too much power, and it is out of the reach of the emperor, which is equivalent to several other ******. According to several elders of the Three Dynasties, Wu Sangui surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, opened the gate of Shanhaiguan and led the Jurchen people into the gate not voluntarily, but when he was about to defect to Li Zicheng, he heard that Li Zicheng had captured his father and concubine Chen Yuanyuan, "rushed to the sky and became angry", and immediately fell to the Qing Dynasty. Can such a person be reliable? Even if he is given tens of millions of taels of silver every year, he can't feed such a white-faced wolf. Later, Kangxi withdrew the vassal as soon as he solved the Aobai, and he couldn't bear the blood of the three vassal kings. The more he gives, the greater his appetite becomes, and he gives it all, does the country want it anymore? The long pain was better than the short pain, so he ordered the withdrawal of the feudal domain.

Although the prince's 50,000 taels of silver is not much, if there is a natural disaster, he can also give porridge to the refugees, and one less starvation will be less of a riot factor. The situation facing Emperor Shunzhi is still very grim.

The emperor watched Ma Ping's recital, and there were no impassioned words in it to praise Prince Rui, but every sentence was very pertinent. An example is given to the careful management of money in business.

Ma Ping also told the emperor that Chen's paintings were admired by the literati and students in the capital, and Chen did not get fluttering because of this, but studied the art of painting with excellence, and stopped every day until he couldn't see it. All the money that Chen sold for his paintings was handed over to Chen Changshi, and she did not leave a penny.

There is also the Fujin Tong family, the silver for tasting dishes and buying ingredients is the reward of 1,000 taels of silver from the emperor and the queen mother to the side Fujin, which is the reward they got on the day they entered the palace to give gifts. I didn't keep a penny, and I used it to fill the treasury.

For Yun'er, the compliment that the Queen Mother heard in Tong's splendid mouth before. I always thought that Tong's praise for Yun'er was just to show his virtue and generosity, but when I saw Yun'er herself, I knew that Tong was not exaggerating, but had not yet said it in place. The Queen Mother has an excellent impression of Yun'er! Whether Yun'er's appearance and actions, sitting and lying, dealing with people or talents, all made the Queen Mother admire. This Rui Wang Ye is a hero with huge eyes, and he actually knows a confidant like Yun'er in the vast sea of people.

The Queen Mother sighed very much! He asked God many times: "Is the fate of man really arranged by God?" Why did he have such a good life and take all the outstanding women like Xiu'er and Yun'er to himself? The emperor is the honor of all times, it can be said that the women in the world are all selected by him, why haven't you met a woman like Yun'er? If the emperor has a woman like Yun'er to accompany and help, why wouldn't the Qing Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji not prosper?

At this time, in the mind of the Queen Mother, a plan to advance and retreat is being brewed, she wants to dig Yun'er to her side and dig it to the emperor to be the queen! Although his niece and granddaughter want to retire to the position of imperial concubine, it is still worth it. If the emperor has a free-spirited, capable and handsome queen like Yun'er to lead the harem, the Qing Dynasty will also be as rich and strong as the foreign land, and there will be no need to use Lord Rui at that time, and send him back to Shengjing for retirement. Since the things bought back were all exchanged by Yun'er's father's antiques, they were taken as Yun'er's dowry and brought into the palace. If Yun'er is unwilling, there is also a way to take a step back. She didn't believe that the emperor would dislike a woman like Yun'er, and she didn't believe that Yun'er didn't like the young husband who was the emperor, anyway, the queen mother liked Yun'er no matter how she looked at it, and it was pleasing to the eye! As for Prince Rui, the emperor didn't want his woman to play, but to be the queen of the emperor, and he didn't insult him. There are many young and beautiful women, and it is not difficult to give him ten or a hundred, who doesn't want to talk to the current Rui Wangye?

The queen mother, who has always been calm, is a little irrational these days, and she only thinks about the benefits, but she doesn't think about whether she can touch nails, after becoming the queen mother, in addition to touching nails at the emperor, who else has a few heads for the queen mother to touch nails? The Queen Mother doesn't have to discuss things with anyone, she can do whatever she wants. She thought about the specifics again. How to catch Yun'er and Xiu'er off guard with a surprise attack, there was no room for rebuttal at all. Once Yun'er becomes the emperor's woman, Fuyou is not happy that the raw rice is made into cooked rice, but Yun'er is really unwilling to say a joke, and she doesn't dare to make trouble and give the emperor no face. What about Yun'er, is she not happy to be promoted from Side Fu to Queen all of a sudden? How much younger is the emperor than Fuyou? Will she follow a man twenty years older than her without scolding the emperor, right? (To be continued.) )
