Chapter 424: The Queen is surprised, Baoqin is married, and the prince is requested
Hearing the news that Shui Rong, the king of Beijing, said that the army of the Shun Dynasty was only dragging the King of Qin in Shaanxi, and did not completely solve the rebellion of the King of Qin, Jia Cong only silently mourned for the dead soldiers and civilians in his heart.
In fact, take out a dynasty in history casually, not to mention the end of the period, the people who died because of uprisings and rebellions in the early and middle periods, at least hundreds of thousands, including almost any dynasty, so it is not uncommon for the Shun Dynasty to be like this, even if the rebellion can last for a few years.
King Beijing has an extraordinary appearance, "his face is like a beautiful jade, his eyes are like a star, he is really a beautiful character", this person is the same beautiful man as Liu Xianglian in the 87 version of the Dream of Red Mansions TV series.
In the original world of the Red Mansion, he admired Jia Baoyu, he always hated the career economy, and scolded Jia Baoyu who was an official who was a "national thief", but he also did not dare to scold the King of Beijing very abnormally, and on some banquet occasions, he often came to the Beijing Palace, which shows that Jia Baoyu is not blindly rejecting the powerful, it is really "really fragrant".
In the world after Jia Cong's crossing, Jia Baoyu and King Beijing are almost like this, and King Beijing has no contradictions and hostility with himself.
If this person can be wooed, it is also good to join his own camp, after all, this is a person with real power, Jia Cong thought.
"I see, but I'm worried so far, and I can't help with any state affairs." Jia Cong said with shame and sadness on his face, his acting skills have already been natural.
Although he is famous, the king of Beijing is a prince, and his rank is too high, even if the university scholars see it, they have to salute, and this prince is not the kind that is bred in captivity.
"Although you are worried, you can't help ordinary people, and Master Jia is too polite." Shui Rong helped Jia Cong, and saw that there was no one else on the left and right, so he said worriedly: "Shanxi and Shaanxi are the places with the highest steel production in the country, if the King of Qin makes stable use of the steel in the two places, it will be very dangerous in two years, so I want to ask the imperial court to take revenge on you, after all, you are very experienced in firearms and warfare......"
Jia Cong shook his head vigorously and shook his head like a rattle: "In ancient times, the imperial court ruled the world with filial piety, I will not brave this kind of disapproval and the weight of Mount Tai to go on the expedition, lord, I am not the only one behind me." ”
King Shui Rong of Beijing just smiled and didn't say anything anymore, and he didn't know what countermeasures he was thinking, but Jia Cong was not interested in this, and only talked about making money.
Then the two came out, Jia Cong also said a few words to Queen Qianxiang, I haven't seen her for a year, this queen's demeanor is still the same, and she can't hide her beauty when she travels in casual clothes, Queen Qianxiang smiled: "Master Bachelor, can you talk to us about Arsenic Fanamin's overseas business?" ”
"I have already handed over this matter to Zhou Wenbai to deal with, you go and talk to him." Jia Cong shrugged his shoulders, unmoved by the beauty.
Shui Rong thought about it again and again, and said: "That's it, Scholar Jia, I asked my relatives who are housekeepers to also run a part, and I will ask someone to prepare the money and contract documents for the shares." ”
"That's good." Jia Cong's heart blossomed.
Queen Qianxiang Luqiu Tuikui was secretly surprised, she had learned Jia Cong's methods in negotiation and conquest, but she didn't know much about Jia Cong, let alone some other things, and now she saw that the dignified King of Beijing Shui Rong had asked Jia Cong, and had to throw out benefits, which made her even more surprised.
As the spokesperson of the interests of Qianxiang Country, although they are now subordinate to the Fujian Political Envoy Department, Jia Cong is such a figure, and it will be beneficial to their future interests and choices to know more about it.
With such thoughts, even after Jia Cong said that he invited them to take care of themselves and not accompany them, Luqiu Tuikui still watched the Shanhai Pharmacy as if no one was around.
Jia Cong is also taking a cursory look at the business conditions and manpower problems of various shops.
I don't know when, he saw that the queen actually chatted with Xue Baoqin, and the queen said gently and kindly: "Sister Baoqin, you are not dressed exactly the same as the Central Plains woman, you are worthy of being from the imperial business, born so gorgeously, I don't know which son to cheapen." ”
Xue Baoqin shrank his head, just a little shy, and then looked back with wide eyes: "It's just that I followed my family to the five or six pavilions in the world, and I followed the customs of the locals and got used to dressing in a foreign land." As for marriage, the eldest brother is like a father, so naturally it is up to my brother to decide. ”
Saying that, she also used the double-entry accounting method taken out by Jia Cong to sort out and count the sales of the soap made by Jia Cong, Shanhai Pharmacy and Shanhai Bookstore are connected, and the queen saw that the soap was a few cents a piece, usually about three cents.
The queen looked at the round face of this gorgeous and moving little girl with a smile and a full youthful atmosphere, and she couldn't help but secretly envy it, and said, "Is this soap also invented by your brother-in-law?" ”
"That's right." Xue Baoqin was naturally authentic, with a hint of worship in his big eyes: "My cousin is amazing." ”
Queen Qianxiang Luqiu Tuikui was even more surprised, she had also obtained this kind of soap, she didn't know that it was spread by the three sisters of the You family in Yangzhou, because they did not produce it in large quantities, so it was not common overseas, it was very rare.
Now Jia Cong has decided to do a research on the market, soap, soap, and candles will not have a violent impact on the traditional silk weaving handicraft industry such as silk, so develop it well, even if there is no huge profit, it can also flow for a long time, so that he can have financial support at any time.
"I heard that Sister Baoqin promised to marry the son of Mei Hanlin in the capital? It's a shame. ”
This person's affectionate voice made Xue Baoqin very happy, and she didn't know what the guest in front of her was, because Queen Qianxiang brought someone to buy things, so Xue Baoqin was hospitable: "Didn't Mei Hanlin's son die of illness?" Otherwise, my brother wouldn't have to worry. ”
"Girl is so stupid." Queen Qianxiang cried and laughed: "If you die of your own son, can't you have a stepson?" That's also the son, how can the marriage contract of your parents be easily changed, and besides, this should be a means for others to take refuge or secretly ambush Jia Cong. ”
Xue Baoqin couldn't help but think carefully when she heard this, and she had no idea for a while.
Seeing this, Jia Cong pulled Xue Baoqin away, kept her away from the old fox like Luqiu Tuikui, coughed a few times, Jia Cong said: "It seems that the Luqiu girl also likes my soap, you buy a few thousand yuan, I will give you a ninety-fifty discount, hurry up." ”
"Boss, don't worry." Queen Qianxiang threw her flattering eyes, Jia Cong only felt a thrilling nausea all over her body, and the queen suddenly said seriously: "My Xige University scholar, don't forget that I am also a person who does business with Western countries, I see that you have a piece of soap for a few pennies, this cost must not be high, and your soap is much easier to use than ordinary soap horns, and it is much more affordable than expensive facial cleansers." ”
Jia Cong thought that he was lacking in this research, although his wife Xue Baochai was well-read, but Xue Baochai liked the tone of simplicity and plain makeup very much, and he really didn't know much about it, so he asked: "Impossible, expensive clean products must be better than my soap." ”
Queen Qianxiang cut it disdainfully, and said to him: "I was born in the court, and I am a daughter, I know more about these than you, for example, according to the Tang Dynasty medicine king Sun Simiao's "Preparation for Emergencies and Thousand Golden Prescriptions", the hand-washing face makes Bai Jing Yueze bath bean prescription, and the cleansing products made are good, but do you know how many drugs are involved? How much does it cost? ”
"This recipe requires a total of nineteen herbs such as Angelica Angelica, Atractylodes, White Aconite, White Poria Cocos, Radix Radix, Peach Kernel, Almond, Pig Pancreas, etc., of course, its effect is not bad, but the cost of a few pieces is already one or two silver, how many people in the world can afford it?"
