Chapter 187: Hot Spring Taoist Temple (No. 11, First Shift)

Mingzhu also smiled and said, "I forgot that you are the richest girl in Da Chu." But, do you know how much it costs? ”

Bai said: "When I came, I guessed that Wen Hui had land next to the Taoist temple, and he would definitely think of buying it as the property of the Taoist temple. So, I'll do the rough math. Buying land, buying fields, building, and all those interior furnishings, I guess it will cost 300,000 taels of silver. ”

Mingzhu was taken aback: "Why do you want so much?" I thought 100,000 taels of silver would be enough. ”

Bai said: "Since it is a Taoist temple to be practiced for the imperial concubine, can it be the same as an ordinary Taoist temple?" Not only should the scale be large, but also the interior decoration should be luxurious, or the imperial concubines are used to living in the palace, can they live in the Taoist temple? If they are not happy, why do we spend so much money, spending money is to achieve the goal, in order to achieve the goal, there is nothing to spend more. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "No, I don't think 300,000 taels of silver is enough, I want to spend 400,000 taels of silver to build this Taoist temple, especially that hot spring, I must make good use of it." I have an idea, if it can be realized, my 400,000 taels of silver will bring 4 million taels of silver. ”

At this moment, the Bai family and Mingzhu were confused and asked, "How can the money spent by this Taoist temple be earned?" This is not to open a restaurant to do business, how can it still make money? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled slightly. Bai said: "If you want to talk about benefits, at most, it is to win some good reputation for you, and first, everyone will think that you are a benevolent and loyal person after this incident." In the past, you had a reputation for being smart and capable. There is money, but it is still a little less morally. This makes up for your shortcomings in this area. You must know that with a good reputation, you can do everything with half the effort in the future. Second, this matter has solved a big problem for the prince and the queen. Both of them will appreciate you in their hearts. But when it comes to making money with this, I really can't believe it. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "This is not for making money. It's just that the potential value of this deposit zài must be worth four million taels. ”

Bai Shi and Mingzhu were both surprised: "What can be worth four million taels?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Since this Taoist temple has hot springs, it must be suitable for planting flowers and trees, and it is also suitable for planting out-of-season vegetables." So that the place is willing to invest money. Find an expert master to design well. It will definitely become a good place to grow flowers and trees and produce out-of-season vegetables. Such a good place, the two mothers can live comfortably. But isn't it a pity that just the ladies live? Mother. You ladies gather. Just walk around the gardens of each house. Interesting? If there is such a place, luxurious, elegant. The area is vast, with many precious flowers and trees, beautiful pavilions, out-of-season vegetables, and hot springs. Wouldn't such a place be very popular with you ladies and gentlemen? ”

Bai's mind flashed and he said, "I see, Hui'er, you want to build a place for women to meet?" ”

Chen Wenhui nodded.

Bai Shi thought for a while and said, "You have a good idea, but have you thought about it?" This Taoist temple is used to pray for the emperor. In the future, if the emperor has something to do, the ladies are still alive, how can they be the masters of such a place? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I know that the identity of the ladies is not suitable, but if this place has rules from the beginning, there is not a single man in the entire Taoist temple?" Not even a three-foot child. Such a Taoist temple, from the servant women inside to the guards, are all women. The owners are two mothers with noble status. In the future, the noble ladies who will come to the Taoist temple are all women, and even a follower, a servant, a housekeeper, and a groom are not allowed to approach the Taoist temple. How about such management? ”

Bai's eyes lit up, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "This idea of yours is very good. If it can be realized, it would be a good idea. In the future, you are not afraid that the ladies of the capital will be used by you? ”

Mingzhu also understood the huge political interests contained in this, Mingzhu said: "None of us have as fast as your brains, and such a thing can be made by you." If it can really be realized, not to mention the benefits of four million taels, I am afraid that even the benefits of forty million taels can be had. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Actually, this idea is that I want to go to the Taoist temple in the future, although the food and clothing are worry-free, the living is luxurious, and the life is comfortable, after all, in the suburbs, it is a little lonely." They are lucky to have escaped with their lives, and it is definitely impossible to remarry. If you don't have a chance to be a man in this life, you can only find some other fun. I thought about it, what's the fun? The ladies of the capital like to party, enjoy flowers, eat, drink tea, chant poems, etc. Since the two sisters have no chance with the man, they will simply be the head of a woman's team, and they will not be lonely. When I thought about it, it occurred to me that such a gathering for noble ladies would allow us to have a great deal of information and connections, which was incalculable. Therefore, even an investment of 400,000 taels of silver is not much. ”

Bai Shi nodded and said, "Hui'er is really pure-hearted. This matter is a big matter, I want to discuss it with your father, the queen mother, the two mothers, and the crown princess. With their support, your plan will be successful. In this way, tomorrow, I will go to the palace again, you and Mingzhu will go to the Zhuangzi to have a look, take the master of the Hei family, and draw the drawings of the project first. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled sweetly and said, "Okay." Mother, I know that it is easier to do things in the capital than in Nanyang, because with the help of my capable mother, I don't have to worry about anything, and my mother will definitely do everything for me. ”

Bai Shi smiled and said: "You little monkey, you have a lot of ideas, I am a hard worker, and I will do these trivial things for you." Alright, Mingzhu, show me where my grandsons are, I haven't seen them for two days. ”

Mingzhu hurriedly sent the maid next to her to bring the children over and handed them to Bai Shi for teasing for a while. Mingzhu's two children, the eldest is a girl, both are three years old, born with pink makeup, and will definitely be a little beauty in the future. The youngest one was only five or six months old, and he was a boy. Chen Wenhui was stunned by the two cute little babies and teased them with her mother. Of course, a lot of things were sent to Mingzhu's daughter.

At a glance, there are precious jewelry, as well as beautiful clothes. smiled and said, "I know that you are rich, didn't you already give them two precious gifts when you visited my house yesterday?" How can I return it today? ”

Chen Wenhui tilted her face and said, "I just have a lot of things." It's just the stuff of the salute I carry with me, and I'll be honest with you. I still have a few things from the big ship behind me, because I am impatient to go slowly like that, so I leave the big ship behind, and I bring gifts for each family, and some small things, and come back first. When all those things arrive, you will know what it means to have more things. ”

Mingzhu laughed and said, "You're such an upstart." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "What is a nouveau riche, let me tell you, in addition to these cloths, jewelry, curiosities, and special products, there are the most special things in my things. ”

Mingzhu hurriedly asked, "What's so special?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "People. ”

At this moment, Mingzhu was even more strange and asked: "What's so special about people?" It's just your men. How many cities do you own, and how many men do you have? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "To be precise, talents from all walks of life are carefully selected by me. Therefore, in terms of the management of this Taoist temple, there must be no problem. I have a lot of female stewards, female cooks, and female guards, not to mention, and a group of kabuki and musicians who are proficient in music. There are also various female jugglers, female storytellers, and so on. When the time comes, it will definitely be able to make the Taoist temple lively. By the way, there are many women who are good at taking care of plants and trees and have been trained by the black family, and they will definitely be able to manage the Taoist temple well. ”

Bai Shi smiled and said, "You are really prepared." It's hard to think so thoughtfully. But at that time, how did you know about the construction of Taoist temples? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Where do I have the ability to have prophetic foresight? It's just that in order to come to the capital to gain a firm foothold, I brought some more people and prepared them to be used in my county lord's mansion. I didn't expect that there would be this Taoist temple, which would be better than in my county lord's mansion. ”

Bai laughed and said, "You still have to stand firm?" There are me and your father in the capital, and you still use you to work hard? ”

Chen Wenhui said coquettishly to the Bai family: "Of course, I don't have to work hard myself." There is my capable father and mother in the capital, so I can be my son of heaven with peace of mind. However, mother, before I got married, I naturally did everything easily. But what about after marriage? It's that I live separately and Chongyi in this county lord's mansion, and the old Zhongyi Gong brought Mrs. Zhao to live in Zhuangzi, is Mrs. Zhao gone? Don't count me? Originally, congenitally, I was a little worse than her, because she was an elder, a mother-in-law, a junior, a daughter-in-law, only she was right, not me, in this case, if I want to stand firm in the capital and the Zhao family, how can I do it without preparation? ”

Bai Shi was a little distressed when he heard this, and said: "Hui'er, you have not suffered in our Chen family, what if your mother-in-law really deals with you when you come to their family in the future?" Your father and I have no less sorrow for this. ”

Mingzhu also frowned.

Chen Wenhui laughed and said, "Mother also underestimates me too much, can't I deal with a woman in the inner house?" Don't worry, I not only have to deal with her, but also fight back, even if she doesn't mess with me, I have to provoke her, I have long been ready, I not only want to stand firm in the capital and the Zhao family, but also beat her in disgrace, which can be regarded as revenge for Chongyi. ”

Bai Shi and Mingzhu couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this. (To be continued......)
