Chapter 56: Good Minister
"The matter of Liaodong is just an example." Xuan Shijing smiled, reached out and rubbed Jin Yang's head, and said softly: "In your little head, all day long is pretending to be a family and country affair, if you go on like this, be careful that your hair falls out and becomes a nun." ”
Jin Yang pouted: "The son will not become a nun, the father and the prince and brother have not become monks, how can the son become a nun!" ”
"You're smart." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
Sending Jinyang back to the palace warm pavilion, Xuan Shijing asked Shi Hu to drive the carriage to Xuanwu to hug, and earlier Qian Dui sent someone to report to him in the evening.
When he arrived at Xuanwu Hug, Xuan Shijing asked Shi Hu to drive the carriage to the backyard, so he didn't plan to go back to the Hou Mansion, and was going to find a room to rest in Xuanwu Hug.
went up to the fifth floor, and Xuan Shijing asked Shi Hu to go to the fourth floor to find the money pile, and by the way, he also found Long'er.
Xuan Shijing sat on his big chair, on the opposite side of the table sat Long'er and the money pile, and Shi Hu stood behind Xuan Shijing.
"Pile of money, tell me, what's the matter?" Xuan Shijing asked.
"Master Hou, Gao Jun has news from Xiangzhou that the team of Jingwang Mansion in Chang'an City has arrived in Xiangzhou, and Li Yuanjing will arrive in Xiangzhou the day after tomorrow, that is to say, the team transporting money will stay in Xiangzhou for two days to wait for Li Yuanjing to arrive, Gao Jun and they are already ready to start working." Qian Dui said.
Xuan Shijing smiled: "Originally, I was worried that Gao Jun and they wouldn't be able to find a chance to start, but now it seems that those people are creating opportunities for Gao Jun, and they will wait in Xiangzhou for two days, hehe"
"The money is in the treasury of their stronghold in Xiangzhou, no one should go to open the box and check it, after all, the boxes are sealed, so Gao Jun plans to start dropping the box tonight, and then transport the box to the foothold of our Chamber of Commerce in Dengzhou first, and then take the Qinling Business Road from Shangzhou and transport it back to Chang'an, I have sent people to the foothold of the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce, and instructed the people over there to purchase more things, and transport them back with them, anyway, the house will also be purchased at the end of the year. What's more, after arriving in Chang'an, entering the city also has to be checked, if it is just such a large amount of money, when Li Yuanjing inquires after he arrives in Chang'an, he will suspect us. ”
"Good." Xuan Shijing thought about what Qian Dui said, and after finding that there was nothing missing, he praised: "Gao Jun has matured a lot in the past few years, and his work has become more and more delicate. ”
"Master Hou, what should I do with this money?" Qian Dui asked, when he bought this Xuanwu Basket, it cost the Hou Mansion a full 200,000 yuan of silver.
"Keep it, after the New Year, it's time for the Daozheng Square to start, is there still anyone living in the Daozheng Workshop now?" Xuan Shijing asked.
Qian Dui shook his head: "Back to Master Hou, except for our people, there is no one left, and now the entire Daozheng Fang is full of birds." ”
"Very good, in the coming year, we will first build a five-in-five mansion in Daozheng Fang, leave it to our own people to live in, and the rest will be built into two-story houses, and first take out 50,000 yuan and send it to the glaze workshop and cement workshop, and the firing of glaze and cement can not be slackened." Xuan Shijing said.
Next year, he's counting on his office to get floor-to-ceiling windows.
Most of the workshops in the Hou Mansion are used around Chang'an City or on their own Zhuangzi, so they are not afraid of delaying people to go home for the New Year.
"Yes, Master Hou." The money pile answered.
"Long'er, how has Xuanwu been hugging lately?" Xuan Shijing set his eyes on Long'er again.
"Master Hou, after Xuanwu improved the recipe, the business can have nearly one percent more customers than before, but because of the reason that he does not accept people to stay overnight, in general, the income is not as good as before." Long'er said ashamedly.
Xuan Shijing nodded, it is normal for Xuanwu Hug's income to decline, and now the fourth and fifth floors of Xuanwu Hug are the headquarters of the Tang Chamber of Commerce, which is very important for the Hou Mansion, of course, it can't receive guests for a stay like an inn like before.
"It doesn't matter, relative to Xuanwu Hug's income, as long as it is enough to maintain the normal operation of Xuanwu Hug, now Xuanwu Hug is the headquarters of our Hou Mansion in foreign chambers of commerce, be careful, it's always right." Xuan Shijing comforted.
Although Xuan Shijing's words said so, Long'er was still a little awkward in her heart, her own Hou Ye handed over such a big stall of Xuanwu to herself, and she didn't let him become a tool for the Hou Mansion to make money, so how could it.
"Qiandui, tomorrow morning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will leave for Liaodong, and the materials placed in Xuanwu will be directly loaded and sent to the Suzaku Gate, and tomorrow morning, Yanlailou will also receive the money from tonight's auction, a total of 97,000 yuan, sealed together, and sent to the Suzaku Gate, after this matter, we will no longer interfere in the affairs of Liaodong." Xuan Shijing instructed: "By the way, there is also Daochang Sun, pick two good hands from among our people, protect Daochang Sun along the road, and let Daochang Sun send them." ”
"Yes, Master Hou." The money pile answered.
For Sun Simiao, whether it is the many subordinates of the Hou Mansion or Xuan Shijing's mother and son, they are all very concerned.
Ganlu Palace, His Majesty Li Er looked at the excerpts sent by Ma Zhou, all his thoughts.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time to rest," Deyi reminded softly behind His Majesty Li Er.
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said with a smile: "No hurry." Then he sighed with emotion: "Deyi, you said that in my life, in addition to being built with the prince in Xuanwu Gate, King Yuanji of Qi turned against him, how fortunate he was." ”
"Why does Your Majesty feel this way?" Deyi asked cautiously.
"I have been fighting horses for half my life, and there are many good ministers to complement me, but the most unforgettable thing for me is Mingde." His Majesty Li Er sighed.
"The late Duke of Jin and His Majesty have fought together on the battlefield for several years, and Your Majesty will never forget the deceased, which is really a matter of affection and righteousness."
"Matilda is different from everyone else after all." His Majesty Li Er smiled mysteriously: "Now it seems that I am not the only one who is lucky." ”
"The slave is stupid, not only what Your Majesty is referring to" Deyi bowed and stood beside His Majesty Li Er.
"The prince is the same as me, in addition to the ministers of the humerus that I left to him, he also has good ministers to complement him." His Majesty Li Er said with a very satisfied smile.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Wu and King Wei have a deep brotherhood, and King Wu and King Wei are also ordinary people, and he will definitely be a great help to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince one day." Deyi said.
His Majesty Li Er closed the fold written by Ma Zhou in his hand, and said with a smile: "No, the good minister I said is not Ke'er and Qingque, but Jing'er." ”
