Su Yan was a little upset by Bai Zhi's words, the beauty in the painting will not appear in vain, someone must paint it.

In addition to the vassal mountain man, Su Yan couldn't think of a second person, she knew that his Danqing skills were extremely high, how was his martial arts? She doesn't know what to do, but in terms of his identity, it's okay to learn martial arts, after all, he ......

He once had a prominent and noble status.

In the hearts of the people of the world, when the first emperor and King Jing seized the heir, King Jing was defeated, and there was no place to bury him, and King Jing's concubines and children were all given to die.

But, as far as So-yeon knows, there is another story in this.

If the vassal mountain man came to the imperial city, where would he go?

Bai Zhi said in a low voice: "It's a pity that Lord Han wants to dedicate the "Hundred Flowers Map" to the emperor. ”

Su Yan and Jiang Shuncheng both guessed that Han Zhu, Cao Shangshu and Lei Yan competed for this painting in order to compete for favor with the emperor.

Two and a half million taels of silver, which is not only silver for the three of them, but more importantly, to show loyalty to the emperor.

Han Zhu's son actually added another 100,000 taels of silver at the critical moment after Lei Yan grabbed it, and the big housekeeper of the Lei family was so angry that he didn't vomit blood, obviously the drum of the auction house was beaten twice, but he increased the price before the third time, and it was this increase in price, and the painting in hand was taken away by Han Wuye.

Together with "Hundred Flowers" in the imperial city to become the limelight, is its sky-high price, 2.5 million taels, which is an unprecedentedly high price, plus the Han family spread out at night, there were twelve beauties to dance, it is actually as famous as the treasure of Tianlong Temple, "Guanyin".

Su Yan said: "Bai Zhi is really running wild outside these days, the shop you take care of, is the business good?" Don't reach the end of the year. Other people's shops have made money, and you can manage the two owners......"

In So-yeon's impression. Bai Zhi has always been a girl who works silently and does not speak freely. It's only been a few days, and it's like a different person.

Qing Mama scolded: "One by one, you have to do your part well, and you have to watch some of the things in the store." This is the princess who feels sorry for you and allows you to make more money, if it is really a loss, you really can't bear the princess's trust. ”

Bai Yan looked at Bai Zhi and saw that she instantly lowered her head, "You have been busy with things outside these days. You won't forget about taking care of the store, will you? ”

Zi Que raised his head, and his eyes showed a bit of pride, "I counted the shop I managed, compared with February last year, I earned eighty taels of silver this year." I asked, from March to October, when business is the best, I have to keep an eye on it, otherwise the second child in the shop will be lazy. ”

So Yeon diverted the subject. said to Bai Yan: "You go to the intersection and wait, see the old waiter, ask him to come over, I have something to ask." ”

Mama Qing raised her hand. "Get busy! Bai Zhi is really, it's only been a few days, and she is very good at learning outside. It's negligent. ”

Bai Zhi still didn't speak, and left the study with a displeased face.

So-yeon continued to practice calligraphy and painting. She didn't have the opportunity to walk outside, so she devoted all her attention to painting flowers.

Mama Qing said softly: "The painting was sold for a good price." The matter of selling the land and the shop can be avoided. Princess, you said yes? ”

Su Yan exhaled, she shook her head, "It's good to have more silver, the old prince has to build a wharf after repairing the canal." It's rare for his old man to work hard, and to prepare more silver to prevent him from being embarrassed, it is also the filial piety of me and the prince. ”

The farms and shops that are ready to sell are all the worst profitable, and even some of them are still loss-making, Su Yan doesn't want to smash it in her hands, even if she puts it in the future, since she hands over these things to Jiang and lets him auction them, she won't change her mind.

Mama Qing said: "The old concubine Jing is not happy about this matter, saying that other people's family businesses are more and more, so why do you have to sell things." ”

Su Yeon glared, does she want to sell? "She doesn't understand the truth inside, don't you know the truth?"

Mama Qing heard Su Yan say that the income of these granges and shops is not good, but she looks at it and it is also good, although she earns less, but these properties are all rewarded to the palace by the first emperor.

"When you have a chance to turn around, you can leave and talk to the old concubine, and just say that the grange is the worst profitable, and these shops can't make much money. I sold it first to make money, and after a few years, I bought a better one. Also, if the Weihe Wharf is built, it will be the king's mansion, and the houses, shops, and warehouses built on the wharf will not be built by our palace, but I am afraid that it will be too much money at that time, and it will be difficult to count the silver. ”

Mama Qing's face warmed up, how could anyone think that silver can't be counted.

Su Yan said again: "Mama has seen the docks?" ”

Mama Qing shook her head.

She has been to the canal wharf of the imperial city, thousands of boats, large and small, official and private ships, and even there are inns and shops on the wharf, just like a county town, lively and lively.

In other words, when the time comes, there will be more county seats in Weizhou, and the county seats will still be the royal government.

The palace is not much richer than the Jiang family, and the Jiang family's few houses are not as rich as the palace, the palace has a fief of a state (twelve counties), and two huge palaces, and dozens of granges, tens of thousands of acres of fertile land; There are hundreds of more shops. This money is not pouring into the palace.

Mama Qing thought about it for a while, and the more she thought about it, the happier she became, thinking that she was also stained, and said with a smile: "The princess is right." The next time Concubine Jing says something like this again, I will know how to persuade her. ”

Su Yan smiled gently, and when she saw that she understood, her heart was also happy.

Mama Qiao's voice came from the door of the inner courtyard, and she was asking with a smile, "Is the princess here?" ”

Today, Bai Yan was on an errand, greeted him, and responded: "Here you are." Turned around and approached the door of the study, "Princess, Mama Qiao asks to see you." ”

Su Yan said: "Come in!" ”

Mama Qiao pushed open the door of the study, glanced at it with a smile, and bowed, "I just received a letter from the post, the letter said that Concubine Yao will leave for the imperial city on the 20th, but I am afraid that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will arrive." ”

The affairs of the mansion are taken care of by Ling Wei.

So-yeon doesn't plan to ask, she can do whatever she likes. Ling Wei reduced the dishes, she didn't speak; Ling Wei rushed to take Yaodong, but she still didn't speak.

Mama Qing is right, no matter how Ling Wei takes care of the child, she is still her Jiang Suyan's son. Ling Wei spoiled Yaodong, as soon as she heard the child crying, she ran faster than the nurse, in order to take care of Yaodong, she picked two new big girls to serve, and the three of them served Yaodong, and they gave the best food and clothing.

Mama Qiao said: "Old Concubine Jing ordered her subordinates to clean up the Ronghe Courtyard and come out, and let Concubine Yao move in when the time comes." This Concubine Yao, Daoist Huangsang and Daoist Yaofang were all here earlier, and she didn't come to the imperial city for a long time, but now that people are here, where can she go to find a better Langzhong? ”

Su Yan said: "The main medical skills of the Demon Subduing Concept and the Five Grain View are excellent, and they are not under Huang Sang and Yaofang. ”

Mama Qiao smiled, "I heard that the princess's painting was sold for two and a half million taels of silver?" ”

So-yeon didn't answer.

Mama Qiao continued: "This time it's okay, the silver for repairing the canal in Weizhou ......"

Mama Qing pulled Mama Qiao, "Our old sisters went to talk in the small hall of the wing, I got some new good tea, and I happened to eat tea together."

Mama Qing could see that Mama Qiao came to persuade Su Yan not to sell the grange and shop for Ling Wei, and Su Yan could also see that it was better to have Mama Qing to persuade her, she also saved a waste of lips and tongues.

The two entered the small hall, and Mama Qiao looked displeased, "The old concubine is worried about the princess's sale of the grange shop." Now there is silver......"

Mama Qing said "ouch", "Old sister, I don't understand, the masters have the ideas of the masters, and the princess is now thinking about settling the Weizhou canal money, and also thinking about repairing the wharf." Xiuwei River Wharf, have you ever seen the wharf? ”

Mama Qiao was ignorant, but remembered the Imperial City Canal Wharf, "There is also a wharf on the outskirts of the Imperial City, which is more lively than the county seat......"

"The princess and the prince are all shrewd, and they all know it in their hearts. A few grange shops have been sold, and there will be one more county-like wharf in the future, which one do you say is cost-effective? The shops in this county, not to mention too much, there are 400 shops, right? When the time comes, if you don't want to sell, you can start your own business, or rent it to vendors, and you will get a lot of rent a month. If you want to sell it, no matter how shrewd the prince is, it has to be sold at a good price. Selling one now is also the idea of making ten shops in the future......"

Mama Qiao never thought about this, and Ling Wei also thought that the family business could only be more and more, how could it be less and less. Their husbands and wives are also young, and he will have more children in the future, and give them a point, and there will not be many mountains of gold and silver in their hands.

Mama Qing and Mama Qiao explained for a while, coaxing Mama Qiao to smile and go back to Jingyuan to return to the old concubine.

When Ling Wei heard this, she was sold now, and she could get better in the future, and she felt a little more comfortable.

When Mama Qiao returned, Uncle Ling sat down, staring, and asked, "Have you heard the princess say, where is the Weihe Wharf built?" ”

Weihe built a wharf, the ships from the south of the Yangtze River can be closer than to the imperial city, Weizhou is close to Dezhou, Yunzhou, Dengzhou, Cangzhou, extending in all directions, north and south.

Mama Qiao smiled: "This kind of thing, how could she tell us to be slaves." I just heard that Mama Qing said that due to the lack of silver, even the nine horses in the second room of the Jiang family were helping to raise silver. In the past few days, the banquet has invited businessmen from Jiangnan and Jindi to donate money, and now they have donated nearly one million taels of silver. ”

The Jiang family is a smart one, and now they are fully supporting Su Yan, it can be seen that this is a good thing, the Jiang family supports Su Yan, if the wharf is completed, I am afraid that I will have to allocate a piece of land on the wharf to the Jiang family, and let the Jiang family build a shop house on it, which is not an ordinary land price, but an inch of land and an inch of gold.

Ling Wei smiled and said to Uncle Ling, "If you invite Texas businessmen to come, how much silver can you muster?" ”

Uncle Ling was confused, what did she mean by this? Is it difficult to get into a fight with the princess, what kind of person is the princess, the Jiang family was originally a Jin family, and there are many Jin merchants in the imperial city, as long as someone takes the lead and shouts, the Jin merchants are not allowed to pluck a few hairs, and they will make up a million taels of silver.

Ling Wei said: "People who do business are the most shrewd, and Jin merchants are willing to pay money for nothing, but they are afraid of thinking about getting a piece of the pie on the dock." When the big wharf is completed, it is not necessary to be like a county seat, and block a piece of land to build a store, even if it is a warehouse, it will also make money. ”

Uncle Ling felt that there was some truth in this, Jin Shang was willing to give money for what Lu, could it be that the princess agreed to give them benefits, otherwise they were not fools, how could they donate silver. (To be continued......)
