Cai Yi looked at Yuan Shu with some puzzlement.

She is very aware of the low status of Shinong businessmen and merchants. The status of those sideline children who were in business in his family was very low, and even Cai Yi, who was not a high status at the time, could call them around casually.

Cai Yi didn't understand why Yuan Shu let himself run this kind of "cheap business".

Seeing Cai Yi's puzzled eyes, Yuan Shu smiled: "Although the status of businessmen in my Jiangdong is not high, they are not as discriminated against and suppressed as other places. And you, as my concubine, even if you are in business, no one will dare to underestimate you. ”

"I suggest you go into business, on the one hand, now in my Jiangdong, businessmen are indeed very important, and they are very powerful. A family like the Zhen family, even I have to be cautious. If Yi'er is interested, it is not impossible to become a strong woman like Zhang. ”

Hearing Yuan Shu mention the Zhang family, Cai Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.

As the head of the Zhen family, Zhang has always been the idol of the women under Yuan Shu. As the world's largest single rich woman, countless children of the side family and even descendants of the family are vying to get the beauty back, and by the way, the entire Zhen family is under her command and the relationship with Yuan Shu is closer.

Although in this era, the meaning of money is not too great. But with money to a certain point, and Yuan Shu's support, even Cai Mao has to be polite to the Zhang family. In this patriarchal society, this is simply unthinkable. Now in Yangzhou, Zhang's status is almost no less than that of the heads of major second-rate families.

Cai Yi naturally knows who the Zhang family is. Before she married Yuan Shu, she had always regarded the Zhang family as her goal, and she wanted to become a woman like the Zhang family who could hold great power without relying on her husband.

"Husband, is Yi'er really okay? Yi'er showing up outside won't affect your husband's reputation, right? Cai Yi asked cautiously.

Yuan Shu said casually: "It's okay, who dares to judge me in Jiangdong?" And I don't want you to go out and suffer, you go to Zhang's first to learn how she does business, and then I will naturally arrange some competent people to help you. ”

Dominance in commerce was Yuan Shu's goal, similar to what was called a planned economy in later generations. However, Yuan Shu is mainly to avoid being stuck in materials, and to balance prices, it doesn't matter if it is profitable or not.

Cai Yi is just a representative of Yuan Shu's hand. Even if Cai Yi is not doing well, as long as the general direction is good, Yuan Shu will not lose anything. After all, with all kinds of resources and power in hand, it is difficult to make compensation.

Cai Yi was surprised when she heard this, and nodded without thinking: "Thank you, husband." ”

As long as Yuan Shu doesn't object to this kind of thing, Cai Yi is naturally a hundred willing. She is not the kind of woman who likes to teach her husband and children and has a dull life. But as a woman, what she can do in this era is to seek the position of heir for her children, except to compete for favor. If you want to go into politics, it's simply impossible.

She is just a concubine, and Yuan Shu now provides her with a stage to realize her self-worth and control power, which really touches Cai Yi very much.

Yuan Shu smiled: "Don't thank me, take the initiative at night and serve me well." ”

Cai Yi's face was flushed, and she took a sip, and all the women around her were also crimson. It's hard to imagine that such a young man with a delicate face and frivolous demeanor is actually a prince who dominates one side.

Yuan Shu's soul has already been fused now, and he has completely restored his appearance and body at the age of twenty-two in his previous life. If it weren't for the people around Yuan Shu, no one would be able to recognize this slightly lazy young man and Yuan Shu a year ago as a person.

In this regard, Yuan Shu said that he was very happy. Anyway, he is a prince, and he has no boss, so no one will dare to question what he becomes.

There's no way anyone thinks they've been transferred, right? You must know that the change in Yuan Shu's appearance has taken about a year, and the daily change is not big, but if you look at it in a year's time, it does seem like a different person.

But the people around Yuan Shu know that this is by no means a transfer, but a vision of Yuan Shu himself.

Guo Jia even used this as an excuse to make up a lot of rumors.

Some say that Yuan Shu is the body of the Yellow Dragon, and now the trapped dragon is flying into the sky, so he is rejuvenated.

Some people say that Yuan Shude was taught by a god of Tantra, and he could live forever, so that he could calm the troubled times.

Although these rumors seemed to Yuan Shu to be very nonsense, he didn't expect the effect to be amazing.

Don't expect a group of illiterate people to understand what superstition is. The testimony of countless people who have seen Yuan Shu, coupled with Guo Jia's addition of oil and vinegar, made these rumors boil.

Especially in Yangzhou, a small part of the people firmly believe in this.

Although Yuan Shu was a little helpless about this matter, he was not dissatisfied. The fanatical worship of the ruler is also a manifestation of the ruler's dominance. Yuan Shu could only be helpless and happy, accepting the worship of the people.

After recovering his youth, many civil and military forces in Jiangdong also put out some careful thinking and devoted themselves to their duties.

After all, in this troubled era where the average life expectancy is more than twenty years old, and living to forty or fifty is considered a long lifespan, Yuan Shu's original age is indeed a little too old, and it is no wonder that the people below are cranky.

But now that Yuan Shu is young, coupled with Zhang Zhongjing by his side, Yuan Shu's subordinates have completely extinguished other careful thoughts.

According to Yuan Shu's appearance, if nothing else, this thing will have at least twenty or thirty years to live, what are you worried about? Let's do the honest work!

However, there is a disadvantage of becoming younger, which is Yuan Yao's problem. This son is almost unrecognizable now, and it is very embarrassing to stand together like the two brothers.

So in order not to affect his mood, Yuan Shu decisively supported his son far away. Now in the Wa Kingdom, wait for him to come back and send him to Yizhou. Anyway, Yuan Shu didn't want to see Yuan Yao in the past few years.

How good it is to live comfortably in a world of five! How harmonious and happy!

Ever since he had the medicinal diet configured by Zhang Zhongjing, Yuan Shu felt that he was full of vitality. My waist is no longer sore, my legs are not painful, and I won't feel tired no matter how much I exercise at night.

After regaining his strength, Yuan Shu is in good health, and he eats well, if it weren't for the serious concept of etiquette in this era, he would have the heart to sleep together.

That's why medicine is so important. Yuan Shu felt that the most clever thing he did was to find Zhang Zhongjing.

With this miracle doctor, how much "happiness" has I added!

And Yuan Shu has also recently found traces of Hua Tuo. It seems that this goods have been squatting in Yizhou all these years to find some rare medicinal materials, and it just so happens that he wants to take Yizhou after a while, and he can also accept him.

With two divine doctors by his side, Yuan Shu just wanted to look up to the sky and yell: I really want to live another five hundred years!

Although five hundred years is a bit nonsense, Yuan Shu feels that he has no problem living for another fifty years now.
