After laughing, Chen Wenhui continued: "As for those wealthy merchants, in the future, the local economy of Suzhou will depend on the taxes they give, so we must find a way to sell their silk." ”

Zhao Chongyi asked: "What market?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "In the future, after the popularization of cotton cloth, the consumption of the middle and lower classes is concentrated in cotton cloth, and the upper class society must still be a big customer of high-quality satin, but ordinary silk will be unsalable, so we must find a good way out for them now, lest they boycott cotton." This way out is the exit. ”

Everyone didn't understand this term, and they all looked at each other. Chen Wenhui said: "The meaning of export is to sell to other countries, not to the Central Plains. My father often told me about the situation outside, because Suzhou is close to the sea on one side, so there are many fishing boats, and there are some sea boats, and these sea boats can't go far, that is, they reach the nearby Goryeo Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom and so on. But there are too few such sea vessels, I think, we should support several prefectures near the sea in Suzhou to develop the shipbuilding industry, so that more sea ships go to sea, on the one hand, you can eat more seafood, on the other hand, you can develop sea trade. Inferior silk can be shipped to the Wa kingdom and Goryeo. They have a great grain production there, and they can transport grain from them and sell them silk. In this way, our inferior silk will also be marketed, and the grain that our Great Chu Dynasty will be short of. It's just that this is not an overnight effort, and it is better to support small businessmen to see the effect quickly. ”

Liu Yan lowered his head and pondered, Liu Jingyuan couldn't care about his sweetheart getting angry at this time, and he also began to ponder. Zhao Chongyi thought for a while and said: "Walking the two roads together, supporting small businessmen to see the effect is fast, we can see the effect of our disaster relief this time, and the other road is a big profit." ”

Chen Wenhui glanced at Zhao Chongyi in surprise, and thought, I really can't see it, such a noble son with five big and three thick can actually see that there is a huge profit here. This is true, where is the profit of sea trade? Even in the 21st century, smuggling was very profitable. This is not smuggling. This is sea trade, or the first part of the Great Chu Dynasty, and it is normal to get rich and rival countries.

Liu Jingyuan said: "We can't get such a big thing, and we have to recruit some people to do it together." ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "The Chen family supports the fourth child so much, and the fourth child has not returned it, just hand this over to the Chen family." ”

Liu Jingyuan said: "With the Chen family alone, we will not be good in the future." It's better to let the Chen family cooperate with Princess Lichuan, and we will follow. With the shrewd Princess Lichuan here, we can't afford to lose, and Princess Lichuan also has half of the Chen family's blood. Presumably, the Chen family will not resist. And. Now the biggest one who helps the fourth child is the concubine Niangniang. Let the princess benefit, and it can be regarded as repaying the concubine one or two. ”

Liu Yan nodded and said, "Sister Lichuan is indeed the most suitable. Several of our brothers, including the prince's brother, did not dare to say anything in front of my father. It's just that Sister Lichuan has been favored by her father since she was a child, and what her sister said, her father has never rejected it. It was an unreasonable request, and the father agreed with a smile. Of course, my sister is also very measured. ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "Princess Lichuan is married to the son of Jinghaihou, Jinghaihou is the best at fighting water battles in the army, and the second uncle of the prince, the third uncle is still leading the water army, with the support of these elite soldiers on the water, it is not easy to develop maritime trade." ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "It seems." My cousin princess is the most suitable person, but I don't know if my cousin princess is shrewd? ”

Liu Yan laughed, like a beautiful orchid blooming, and the room was bright: "Sister Lichuan must be the most shrewd woman in the royal family." This has even been praised several times by my father. Many times it's a pity that my sister is not a boy. Now that she is married, she has a very high status in her in-law's family, and she is in charge of four families by herself. ”

Chen Wenhui was surprised: "How can one person be in charge of four families?" ”

Liu Yan smiled. Zhao Chongyi said: "Everyone in the capital knows it. Because Jinghai Gong was born poor and rose through military merit, the female dependents of the family are not good at housekeeping. Therefore, the Duke of Lichuan is in charge of the Princess's Mansion, and he is also in charge of the housework of his father-in-law Jing Haihou, as well as the housework of the two generals' mansions, the second and third uncles. Isn't it one person who is in charge of four homes? In addition to the princess's mansion, these three families are the jokes of the upper class in the capital, and they are often ridiculed, just because the female relatives don't know how to take care of the house, and the family is in a mess. Now, the four families are in order, do you say Princess Lichuan is shrewd? ”

Chen Wenhui was stunned when she heard this, and Mingzhu said: "I think my stepmother's housekeeper is very good, this Lichuan princess is only afraid that she is more powerful than my stepmother." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yan and Zhao Chongyi couldn't help but glance at Wen Hui, but Wen Hui was still thinking about things and didn't pay attention.

Wen Hui thought, this is the strange woman of ancient times, I really want to meet it as soon as possible.

Liu Jingcheng smiled and said: "Sister Mingzhu, you are not bad, your aunt specializes in medical skills, you are a girl's family, you keep your home in order, and you also help your aunt keep the hospital in order, not to mention, you also opened a pharmaceutical workshop, isn't it also very capable?" I think you can do it better than the third aunt and Princess Lichuan. ”

Mingzhu blushed and spat him. Liu Yan, Chen Wenlin, and Zhao Chongyi all looked at Liu Jingyuan with disdain.

Chen Wenlin said: "Sister, you left the capital when you were young, and Sister Lichuan has less contact, I don't know, Sister Lichuan is the best person, beautiful and generous, hearty personality, cheerful, affectionate, no princess shelf, she is especially a good friend, the princess's mansion often holds banquets, the young nobles in the capital, all like to go to the princess's mansion as guests, the princess sister is deeply favored by the emperor, but never pampered, so the popularity is very good." It is with the support of Sister Lichuan that our restaurant and Cuijin Building can be opened so smoothly in the capital. Of course, we gave Sister Lichuan shares, after all, my sister's expenses are quite large. ”

Liu Jingyuan said: "Lack of money is good, lack of money will be tempted by our maritime trade plan." I think this is good, so let Brother Lin negotiate with the Chen family and Princess Lichuan on behalf of the fourth child, and see how we can get a piece of the pie in the sea trade. ”

Chen Wenlin said: "I'm afraid I can't do it, right? I'm just a showman, and I'm young, and I haven't started a family yet, so how can I do this big thing on my own? ”

Liu Yan said: "I agree with what Ah Yuan said, that is, Brother Lin will go on my behalf." ”

Chen Wenlin had to postpone it, and Chen Wenhui said: "Second brother, I think you are also the most suitable, after all, you can't write two Chen Lai in one stroke, this family." We, Princess Lichuan, are all the blood of the Chen family, so it's better to talk about it. ”

Chen Wenlin had no choice but to give up.

Liu Yan said: "This is still a matter for the future, let's discuss the disaster relief again, right?" ”

Everyone began to discuss again, although Suzhou was the least affected by the disaster, but it was very serious, so there were still a lot of displaced people, so porridge sheds, free medical points. Cash-for-work is also essential.

Zhao Chongyi said: "Suzhou is the hometown of corn. The water system is well developed. There is no need to repair the canals. It's just that the road is not very good. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "In the future, Suzhou will focus on the economy, and it will be in the maritime trade and textile industry. If the road is not good, how to take the carriage, it is not enough to rely on the waterway, it is better to build more roads. ”

Chen Wenlin said: "I know this, because the road between Ancheng and Deqing is good, and people are willing to come to Deqing and Ancheng to do business, because the goods can be delivered quickly." Fast turnover, fast money. So, for the economy, the quality of the road is too important. ”

Liu Yan said: "Okay, that's it. We will build roads for Suzhou, especially the roads in the coastal provinces, and now we have to prepare for maritime trade. Fix a few more, Jusheng Bank's money is still sufficient, right? ”

This sentence was asked by Wang Zhicheng, and Wang Zhicheng hurriedly said: "Our Jusheng Bank has accumulated a lot of funds, and in order to provide disaster relief, we have collected some of the money we lent out before." This time, more than half of the loans were taken out in Heyang Prefecture, but it didn't matter. Originally, the remaining silver was only enough for Huzhou, after all, Huzhou disaster relief also required the construction of canals, roads, and loans. I didn't expect this period of time, because the bank's loans to the three states spread all over the world, so that the reputation of our bank is also bigger, and the people trust us more, our semicolon in the capital, there are many people to save money, as well as in Qingyang City in Huzhou, as well as many people in Heyang Prefecture and Heyang City have come to save money, now our silver is sufficient again, these new additions are enough for Huzhou, so I originally thought that the remaining half is enough for Suzhou, please don't worry about this. ”

Mingzhu smiled again and said: "Your Highness is not asking whether the money in Suzhou is enough, Your Highness also asks, have you left the money you prepared for your sister?" ”

Wang Zhicheng smiled and did not speak. Liu Yan couldn't hold back his laughter, and Lan Caiyu's teeth itched and said, "Mingzhu, it seems that you won't be able to clean up this year." ”

Mingzhu was busy hiding, Liu Jingyuan was overjoyed, hurriedly heroized to save the beauty, and wanted to stand in front of Mingzhu again, Mingzhu also blushed, spat and said, "Which one wants you to help?" ”

After saying that, he hid out and went directly to Hu's warehouse. Lan Caiyu chased after him.

When they all went out, Liu Jingyuan stood there very embarrassed, which made Chen Wenhui laugh non-stop: "Brother Liu, you are deliberately falling flowers, and the flowing water is ruthless?" ”

Liu Jingyuan smirked twice, Zhao Chongyi, Chen Wenlin, and Wang Zhicheng all laughed. However, Liu Yanleng paused for a moment and whispered: "The falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless?" ”

It's just that his voice is too quiet, and everyone is laughing again, so they don't hear it.

After laughing, several people discussed some details again, and divided the work, or Zhao Chongyi went to the house to behead. This time, the emperor beheaded six grain merchants in Suzhou, but there were seven silk merchants, and three salt merchants. There were very few beheaded officials, only five or six, and most of them were transferred.

Zhao Chongyi said: "It seems that I have become a special raider, and when I return to the capital, they still don't talk about me, this is bad, my reputation is not good, where will there be a girl willing to marry me in the future?" ”

Chen Wenhui didn't raise his head, he was still studying the holy decree, Zhao Chongyi found that his words didn't have the slightest effect, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, Liu Jingyuan was happy, but now someone was with him.
