Chapter 126: Chongzhen wants to seize the honeycomb coal business
In the Shouning Palace, Princess Kunxing's two little hands were entangled together, walking around the hall nervously, and the palace maid Que'er stood aside, looking at her princess with a funny face.
"Well, what if my father is angry? I really shouldn't have asked Uncle Wu to tell him about my business. ”
"But, isn't my business just to make money and share my father's worries? If you don't tell your father, how can you share your father's worries? ”
"Alas, I knew that I would personally confess to my father and not let Uncle Wu go, so I didn't have to wait like this."
Princess Kunxing muttered to herself, her face full of confusion.
"Well, my princess, if you turn like this any longer, my head will be bigger." The finch couldn't help but say. Growing up with Kunxing since childhood, the two have always talked freely in private.
"Scared, Dead Sparrow, instead of giving me an idea, you make fun of me." Princess Kunxing stepped forward and grabbed the finch and scratched her armpit hard, and the finch giggled and begged for mercy.
"Princess, Lord Wu is here." A little eunuch hurriedly walked into the hall and reported to Kun Xing.
"Let him in!" Princess Kunxing hurriedly let go of the finch and tidied up her clothes.
"The minister has seen the princess!" Wu Mengming walked in and bowed to Princess Kunxing.
"Uncle Wu, don't be polite, tell me how my father reacted?" Princess Kunxing asked eagerly.
"Your Majesty," Wu Mengming sighed, "Long Yan was furious and shocked. ”
"Ahh Princess Kunxing's face suddenly turned pale, and her face turned pale, "Father, what did he say?" ”
"The emperor said that a princess in Kunxing was actually out of the palace without permission and did such a thing!" Wu Mengming's face was serious, relaying Chongzhen's words.
"It's over, it's over." Kun Xing's small face crossed and said in a panic.
"The emperor also said that he thought that Kunxing was making a small fuss, but he didn't expect to make such a big thing." Can't bear to see Kun Xing's panicked appearance, Wu Mengming continued.
"Ah, is my father angry, or is he praising me? Uncle Wu, you can be honest, don't lie to me. Princess Kunxing's two big eyes widened, and she looked at Wu Mengming without blinking.
"Even if you are angry, you also praise the princess, princess, you don't know, your money can help the emperor a lot." Wu Mengming said with a smile.
"That's good, that's good." Princess Kunxing patted her chest and looked relaxed.
"However," Wu Mengming changed his words and said: "But the emperor also said that you are a princess, and you are not allowed to do such a thing again with your identity, let alone leave the palace without permission." ”
"If you don't go out of the palace, you won't go out of the palace, with Uncle Wu helping to take care of the business, I can rest assured. Besides, Chen Yue led the troops to fight outside, why am I going out of the palace, I don't want to go to see the grandfather who slammed the door anymore. Princess Kunxing said with a smile.
"Alas, princess, the emperor means that you can't do business things in the future." Wu Mengming explained helplessly.
"I didn't do it, hasn't it always been the female shopkeeper of Chen Yue's family who is in charge, Uncle Wu, you can help me take care of it from time to time, how can I do it myself." Princess Kunxing didn't care.
"Alas, I can't take care of it anymore, the emperor asked you to hand over the business, and the palace will directly manage it in the future." Wu Mengming sighed.
"Directly in charge of the palace? Who cares? Kun Xing asked in surprise.
"Maybe send a father-in-law." Wu Mengming didn't know who Chongzhen would send.
"Father, how can he be like this?" Kun Xing was angry all of a sudden, "The business I worked hard with Chen Yue, he said to take it away." If it's just mine, it's just that, but there are countless efforts of Chen Yue there. In order to keep his business, he cooperated with me and gave up most of the profits, but I didn't expect him to trust me, but I became the culprit who took his business. No, I'm going to find my father, he can't do this! ”
Princess Kunxing walked out as she spoke, refusing to stop no matter how persuaded Wu Mengming.
...
...
"Your Majesty, Princess Kunxing has broken in, and I can't persuade her." A little eunuch ran into the dormitory in a panic and reported to Chongzhen.
"Hey, this daughter of mine, her temper is as bad as her old son!" Chongzhen reluctantly put down the fold in his hand and said with a wry smile, "Let her in." ”
Princess Kunxing puffed up her little face, walked in angrily, squatted down and saluted, and stood there angrily.
"What's the matter, my good daughter, who made you so angry?" The problem of silver was solved, Chongzhen's mood was much better, and it was rare to joke with Kunxing.
"Father, why did you take away my business?" Kun Xing asked angrily.
"What to take away? Why are you a dignified princess doing these things, if it spreads out, where will I put my face? In the future, I will take care of these things for you, and you won't have to worry about it anymore.
Such a big person, it should be a horse in the next year, and it can't be like this in the future! ”
Chongzhen looked at his daughter doting and said.
"What? I didn't bother at all, the business was all managed by Chen Yue's people, and I just followed the money. Father, don't take away the business, okay, I did this business to share your worries for your father, and all the money I earned will be given to you, I, I promise you not to leave the palace in the future! Princess Kunxing pulled Chongzhen's sleeve and pleaded pitifully.
Chongzhen's face suddenly became a little feverish, he flicked his sleeves, and said angrily: "What did you say, it seems that my father is greedy for silver." The business matter was thus decided, how could such a big business as coal, which supplies the whole of Beijing, be controlled by outsiders. But don't worry, I will give him a lot of the profits that Chen Yue takes. ”
"Father, everything your daughter has given you, and you can naturally take the business if you want." Princess Kunxing had calmed down at this time, and her mind was quickly spinning to think of words.
"But, Father, can you guarantee that after you take the business, you will get more profits than you do now?"
"Well, what do you mean?" Chongzhen looked at Kun Xing in surprise, not knowing what she was going to say.
"Father, now the honeycomb coal makes a profit of more than 14,000 taels a month, and I get a 70% share of 10,000 taels, and the profit will be more and more in the future. But father, if you control the business in your own hands, you won't take care of it yourself, you will definitely hand it over to a certain eunuch in the palace. So I'm sure that the benefits in the future will definitely not be more than they are now, and may be less and less. ”
"You mean that the eunuchs will embezzle my money?" Chongzhen asked with a calm face.
"That's for sure, now Necuri can run horses, but which of the big stalls in the palace is not rich. Moreover, honeycomb coal is Chen Yue's first creation, except for him and his family, no one knows this business better, you send a greedy and incompetent eunuch to take over, and the benefits of the business in the future can be imagined. ”
Listening to Princess Kunxing's words, Chongzhen pondered, he himself knew what kind of virtue these eunuchs under his command were, and they had one pursuit after cutting off the dust roots, that is, to get silver.
Now I have finally managed to get a lot of income, and it is a stable income every month, if the business shrinks because of indiscriminate interference, it is really not cost-effective. Now is the most difficult time, it is better to be stable! Chongzhen pondered.
"The business is in Chen Yue's hands, but the emperor can send someone to check the accounts at any time, if he is greedy for our silver, he can naturally be held accountable, what is there to worry about!"
Princess Kunxing's last words finally made Chongzhen make up her mind, since she can supervise it at any time, it doesn't matter if the business is in her own hands or not, "Okay, the business is still in charge of that Chen Yue, so I won't interfere." ”
