The emperor was also very moved, remembering the situation when he was young with the concubine, he stopped the concubine's fragrant shoulder and said: "Ai Concubine, you are my virtuous helper, I used to treat you badly." You see, our daughter has made great contributions to Da Chu. Your younger brother took my fourth child to do a good job in the south of the Yangtze River again, and this time he came up with new seeds and new farming methods, so that the wheat in the north will definitely have a high yield next year, plus the corn and sweet potatoes promoted before, the people of my Dachu will not starve again in the future, this is all the credit of the concubine. ”

These things pulled the concubine out of the warm environment at once, and immediately said with a smile: "It's the actor who is capable and knows how to think about the people." Otherwise, my brother's wheat crop is not high this year, and if he hadn't been able to promote it, would he have been able to spread it to the wheat-producing areas in the north so quickly? ”

The emperor nodded and said, "Yes, speaking of which, among these princes of mine, the fourth will think about the people." You see the boss, he is a prince in vain, he never cares about the people's crops, and the things of life, that is, he is troubled by a few women and doesn't know what to do, a family can't be managed well, he can't even keep an heir, and he doesn't even have a son-in-law until now, you say, what do you want such a prince to do? His mother didn't teach him well, he only knew jealousy, he only knew how to fight for power and profit, and he only knew that for the sake of the Wang family, he would simply give all my world to the Wang family, okay? ”

The concubine wisely chose not to say anything. The emperor continued: "Look at the second child again, he has no ability, he is purely a wine bag and rice bag, but the daughter-in-law is very powerful, and the two of them make trouble every day, which is not interesting at all." Look at the third child again. was originally a good seedling, but he was taught badly by those Confucian students, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and married a princess from a scholarly family. As a result, hum, I don't even know a word, it's really a shame for the royal family. ”

The concubine hurriedly said: "Speaking of this matter, I was about to ask the emperor for guilt, but I was negligent." only to marry the third prince to this princess, and asked the emperor to punish him. ”

As he spoke, he was about to kneel. The emperor hurriedly stretched out his hand and said: "How can I blame you, you found a good one for him at the beginning, but Concubine Wan disagreed, you must be when you don't have good intentions, make trouble left and right in front of me, you have to marry this, yes, the third child likes to read since he was a child, and he likes Confucian classics the most." If you can marry a girl from a scholarly family, the husband and wife sing with the wife, it is also a good story in the world, I think she is reasonable, besides, her daughter-in-law. Naturally, she was in charge, so she relied on her, so there was this marriage, hey, how did you know that this was the case, and now Concubine Wan is also suffering and can't say it. ”

The concubine was very proud in her heart, and thought to herself, I have already calculated it, can I let you catch the handle? But he said, "No matter what, I still feel guilty." Or. Let's marry a side concubine for the third prince. Look at the boss, the prince, there are four Liangdi, and now there are three left. Fourth, I'm going to marry a side concubine soon. But the second and third are both princes, and there are no side concubines, should they be married according to the specifications? Besides, there are a few granddaughters in front of the emperor, and the grandson is only the second one, isn't this too few, if there are a few more high-status grandchildren, it would be good if they gave birth to the emperor's grandson. ”

The emperor was greatly moved when he heard this, which father doesn't want to have more children and grandchildren, the emperor said: "This is yes, but now we have to use troops against the northwest, at this time, the princes choose side concubines, isn't it a discussion?" ”

The concubine smiled and said: "This is not in the way, we don't need to be in the civil election, just choose a few in the noble family, or in the family of the official eunuchs in the capital, there is no hindrance, no one in the world will get married?" ”

The emperor smiled and said, "It's still the concubine who thinks about it, if that's the case, it really should be done." So be it. By the way, the princess of the fourth family is your niece, how much you care about it, I am still waiting for her to give birth to my grandson. ”

The concubine hurriedly smiled and agreed.

In Shanghai, more than 20 days have passed in a flash, and it has entered June, and the three phases of shops have been delivered. There are more merchants in Shanghai, and there are more ships to buy routes, and there are cargo ships coming and going on the wharf every day, and the grain purchase is also very smooth. All the grain from Goguryeo was brought in. At this time, the city launched the fifth phase of the house for sale. The houses in Phase 5 are not as expensive as those shops, they are all residential, some large and some small, so they attract more people, and many people who do business in Shanghai are vying to buy a house. Chen Wenhui has money in her hands, and she also bought a few small houses, ready to rent them, and Wan Meizhen also bought a few because of the large profits of Baojing Fang, and the money she shared.

Soon, the five phases were sold out, and the money in Wen Hui's account room, which was originally a little stretched thin because of the transfer of three million to the capital, was also full. Wen Hui breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Ma Mingsong saw that the fifth phase was sold out, and the grain of Goguryeo was also collected, and in order to get more grain, he proposed to take the fleet to the other side of the Korean Peninsula, Silla.

This mention was quickly approved by everyone, and in this way, Ma Mingsong sold the position of seven ships smoothly and took the ships to Silla.

A few days after Ma Mingsong went, Chen Wenjun returned with the fleet. This time, he brought back a lot of silver, grain, and of course some Japanese specialties, such as paper, lacquerware, and silverware, which were quickly bought up by waiting merchants in the port, and now the exotic lacquerware of the Wa Kingdom is very popular.

After Chen Wenjun was busy, he went to the City Lord's Mansion and reported the situation to Xu Wenchang. Chen Wenjun said: "I have been delayed for a long time in the Wa Kingdom this time, because I found an opportunity to provoke a conflict between the Tsukimi family and the Fujiwara family, the ruling family. ”

Xu Wenchang was very interested: "Oh, how did you pick it up?" ”

Chen Wenjun said: "Because of the last voyage, many of our goods were handed over to the Tsukimi family for sale, so the Tsukimi family made a lot of money, with this money, they bought off a lot of families in the Wa Kingdom, and married a girl from the Tsukimi family to the emperor of the Wa Kingdom, and it was only a trivial matter for this girl to enter the palace, but she was very beautiful, and she immediately fascinated the emperor and snubbed the queen of the Fujiwara family, and the queen was very angry, so the family began to suppress the Tsukimi family. After all, the Tsukimi family is a small family in a remote place, where can they compete with the Fujiwara family, it was when I couldn't support it, so I came with a fleet. In addition to bringing a large amount of goods this time, I also brought many of our soldiers. With these people, it was very easy to help the Tsukimi family and defeat the attack of the Fujiwara family. Seeing that it was advantageous for the family to see the moon, he signed an agreement with me. ”

Xu Wenchang hurriedly asked, "What agreement?" ”

Chen Wenjun smiled and took out a document, only to see that this document was all Chinese characters, but it was easy to read. After Xu Wenchang saw it, he was overjoyed: "Wenjun, you are really capable?" I actually got the opportunity to garrison troops in the Japanese country. ”

Chen Wenjun said: "Yes, in order to help the Yuejian family, I naturally have to garrison troops, and during the period when my army was stationed in the Yuemi family, they were all raised by the Yuejian family. At the same time, in order to give my people a place to live, we also teamed up to eliminate the Matsushita family, a small family next to the Tsukimi family. In this way, the territory of this small family, the Tsukimi family gave it to me. It's not a big place, but it has a good harbor, which I surveyed by the last time I left behind. In this way, we will have our own seaport in the Wa Kingdom. ”

Xu Wenchang was overjoyed: "Isn't this equivalent to opening up the territory and expanding the territory?" No, I have to tell the emperor the good news as soon as possible. Wen Jun, you are really a lucky general. ”

Wen Jun smiled and said, "Is this nothing? It's just that we're going to build a new city again. I think we can change our plan, now that we have our own territory, we will simply open up the routes of the Japanese Kingdom, so that we can sell for more money, after all, we also need a lot of money to build a new city. Second, we can have more merchants and more people of the Great Chu Dynasty enter our territory in the Wa Kingdom, and with the people living in it, we can be regarded as truly occupying this land. ”

Xu Wenchang said: "Well, you are thinking about it very much, wait for a few days, Brother Ma will come back from Silla, and we will discuss it." I have no opinion. ”

Wen Jun continued: "But in this way, it involves the question of the ownership of this territory, does it belong to Da Chu, or is it still divided by the four of us?" ”

Xu Wenchang hesitated for a moment, thought for a while and said, "Don't worry about this, I'll report this matter to the emperor first, and let the emperor talk to the patriarch of your Chen clan specifically." We've got you covered. ”

Wen Jun smiled meaningfully and said, "What the horse said is very true, what we said doesn't count, let's wait for them to discuss." Anyway, we're just doing things. ”

This matter soon reached the emperor, and the emperor was very happy, and not every emperor could do it to expand his territory. According to the emperor's heart, of course, this belongs to the emperor and belongs to Da Chu, but Da Chu did not send a single soldier and forcibly asked for this, it is unreasonable, if it is against ordinary people, the emperor will rob it, and the whole world is not the king's land, but it also involves the Chen family, which is not easy to do. The emperor had no choice but to pinch his nose and discuss with the patriarch of the Chen clan.

After several negotiations, the people of the Chen clan did not let a single step, and the emperor had to agree that this territory nominally belonged to the Great Chu Dynasty, and the actual taxes and other revenues were still divided according to the original shares. Anyway, the emperor didn't suffer a loss, out of ten, he himself accounted for 30%, his son accounted for 20%, his daughter accounted for 20%, and the Chen family only accounted for 30%. So, the emperor happily agreed.

They are haggling here, and here, Ma Mingsong has returned from Silla. Silla was located in the south and had a high grain yield, so Ma Minsong brought back a lot of grain and opened up a new shipping route. At this time, Silla's routes also began to be sold out, and the income of Shanghai City increased again, and later the sales of the routes of the Japanese Kingdom set off a hot boom, and now there were more big businessmen gathered in Shanghai City.

Fortunately, at this time, the fourth phase was also built, and various restaurants were opened, and of course, Qinghe Building was also opened. Wen Hui's eleventh birthday was to invite everyone to eat in Qinghe Building. Eating, of course, also receiving gifts, Wen Hui received a special gift.
