Outside the city of Gusu, the ribbons are fluttering, a few rows of willow trees are fiddling with their branches in the wind on the shore of Taihu Lake, and the newly smoked young leaves are green in the green, full of spring.

Travelers who went on a youth tour stopped one after another, looked sideways into the distance, the honor guard of thousands of people opened the way, and the escort of a carriage slowly drove towards Suzhou City.

In this extraordinarily pompous carriage, Gu Ling'er lifted the curtain and talked excitedly about the customs and customs along the way. Xiao Lori's eyebrows fluttered, but several listeners were not interested, Hou Xuanyan simply yawned directly and asked, "Is Suzhou City almost here?" ”

Gu Ling'er said angrily: "I won't tell you again next time!" ”

Huang Ying'er, who was in a half-asleep state, raised her head from Hou Xuanyan's arm, rubbed her eyes, and said, "This is what you said, you have to talk about it." ”

Gu Ling'er was angry for a while, turned her head to sulk, and was hugged by Hou Xuanyan.

Outside the car, Xia Wanchun patted his horse forward and said, "Lord Wang, Suzhou has arrived." ”

Hou Xuanyan walked out of the carriage, and a large number of people had gathered outside Suzhou, and after seeing Hou Xuanyan's honor guard, Suzhou officials were all in admiration.

The guard of honor for the prince to travel was originally large, especially Hou Xuanyan also brought his family, but the guard of honor in front of him was not as good as the wartime Guogong, and in addition to the guards of his own soldiers, there were few who beat gongs and drums.

It is said that Hou Xuanyan advocated thrift after the war, and all the officials in Jinling responded, and now it seems that it does live up to its reputation.

Almost all the officials, officials, and officials in Suzhou greeted them, and after Hou Xuanyan got off the carriage, he was immediately surrounded.

Suzhou is the place where he got started, and there are almost all his henchmen here, and Hou Xuanyan is also quite interested. When he turned his head to look, Xia Wanchun and Xia Yunyi's father and son had already staged a reunion after a long absence. Hou Xuanyan has always been old-fashioned and conservative in his impression, but he didn't even engage in that kind of hypocrisy, and pulled his son to tears.

After four years of separation, Xia Wanchun, who went north to Taihu Lake to fight against the Qing Dynasty on the wedding night, really never left the battlefield for a moment. Now that he is famous, how can he not let his father cry.

Coming to the Hou Mansion with a group of people, Hou Qizeng didn't expect so many people to come, so he welcomed everyone in with a smile.

The backyard of the Hou Mansion began to get busy, and it was originally thought to be a family banquet, but now it has become a full house of guests.

The two princesses, one older and one young, were pulled into the backyard and talked to several women of the Hou family. Hou Qizeng's wife and daughter-in-law Xia Shuji and a pregnant Yang Fujin are almost the entire population.

After Huang Ying'er entered the backyard, a pair of eyes never left Yang Fujin's bulging belly, and the little military doctor was cramped and uneasy.

Behind her own young lady, Miao'er quietly stretched out her hand and twisted it on her back to remind her not to lose her manners. Huang Ying'er lowered her voice and muttered, "Eccentric, too eccentric." ”

Yang Fujin is now the object of protection of the whole mansion, Mrs. Hou observed her words, and said with a smile: "Jin'er's body can't sit often, since she has already met the princess, go back to the bed and lie down to rest." ”

Huang Ying'er opened her mouth and said, "Slow." ”

Everyone's eyes focused on her, even Mrs. Hou pinched a handful of sweat, and Yang Fujin stood timidly, at a loss under the support of the maid.

Huang Ying'er took out a rag-like thing from her sleeve, her face turned red, and she said, "This is the little dress I embroidered for the child, you can take it." ”

β€œ....”

A pair of twins lowered their heads, looking intently at their toes, as if the crested boots had an infinite mystery. This rag... Ahh

Yang Fujin's heart warmed, he took the clothes that looked like rags, his eyes were red, and he said softly: "Princess Xie." ”

Huang Ying'er smiled: "It's all my own family, just call me sister." ”

"Thank you, sister."

Hou Xuanyan outside the lobby was much more lively, Gu Youde and Hou Qizeng left and right, surrounding Hou Xuanyan in the middle. Hou Qizeng took Hou Xuanyan's hand and asked, "Wen Yuan, how many days are you going to stay this time?" ”

"Come to Suzhou to have a look, and then set off for Songjiang in the evening."

Although Hou Qizeng was reluctant, he still said: "State affairs are important, I have this order to go down and prepare a salute for you on the road." ”

Gu Youde took the opportunity to say: "Ling'er's girl hasn't come back for a long time, this time I'll leave her in Suzhou for a few days, and when Wen Yuan comes back, let's go back to Beijing together." ”

Hou Xuanyan nodded and said with a smile: "The girl who was so young at the beginning is now slim and slim." Only Taigong is in good spirits, and he hasn't seen old at all. ”

Gu Youde's grade is older than Hou Qizeng, and he looks really healthy, and he is not humble when he hears this, he touches his beard and smiles: "It's just that it took some thought, and there is a way to maintain health." ”

Hou Xuanyan and Gu Youde talked about maritime business, and now almost all the businessmen in Suzhou are involved in shipping under the leadership of Gu Youde.

Suzhou is well connected by land and water, is a good distribution center, and close to Songjiang Mansion, you can go to sea at any time.

Gu Youde said with a little dissatisfaction: "Wen Yuan, you promised those red-haired people to go ashore for a year or two months to purchase, every time they come, it is like sweeping the floor, and they can't wait to buy the entire coast." I've heard that their ships are stuffed with cargo even in their barrels. ”

Hou Xuanyan laughed and said: "Those red-haired people are called Dutch, they are fighting with Zheng Zhilong on Dongfan Island, it is not easy to grab some goods from here, it is inevitable that they will look a little ugly." These are all small things, and now there is a big problem, and if we don't solve it, the hidden danger will be big. ”

Gu Youde's expression changed, and he said, "Talk inside." ”

Hou Xuanyan and he squeezed out the crowd and came to the inner room, Gu Youde couldn't wait to ask: "Now the commercial tax paid by the maritime merchants is enough to support the operation of the imperial court, the situation is very good, what are the hidden dangers?" ”

Hou Xuanyan sighed and said: "A large amount of silver has poured into our Ming Dynasty, but we have very few things to buy from outside, and the silver is pressed in the hands of merchants, and over time it will make the silver worthless." When our merchants go out, they buy spices and peppers, but they are just to satisfy the appetite of the tongue, and the cost is very limited. ”

Gu Youde has reached the peak of his career in business, and he can understand three points after listening to these words. He was a little disappreciative in his heart, and if the silver was earned in his hands, it could still be a bad thing.

"According to Wen Yuan, how should it be solved at this time?"

"Let the businessmen spend the money in their hands, build factories, and build industries."

Gu Youde was completely blindsided now, and asked, "Factory? ”

"It's a workshop that's ten or even a hundred times larger than the average one. Taigong, I can have today, the Gu family is indispensable, this time I will leave this opportunity to you to build the first factory! ”
