Chapter Seventy-One: Li Sanniang's New Position
The next day to Cheng Biting Jin Mansion, since this goods as a general changed the mansion since he never came, to the door to see, than their own mansion is much more magnificent, although their own house is Li Shimin's old mansion, but at that time Li Shimin in order to establish the image of the next generation of Li Shimin courtyard is very ordinary.
Looking at the two stone lions at the door who were taller than himself, he thought that he had really found the right person.
After the housekeeper went out, he saw that he knew Xiao Zheng, and after calling his grandfather, he was directly led to the main hall, and when he looked up, he found that the original "high mountains and flowing water" for Yu Shinan was hung in the main hall, but there was a weapon rack at the bottom, which ruined the scenery.
Before he sat on the chair, he saw a strange feeling: Cheng Yanjin, who had always been stupid and straightforward, walked in with a somewhat twisted expression, followed by Cheng Yanjin's wife Pei. Pei Shi saw Xiao Zheng's angry face and glared at him without speaking.
This is strange, the guests used to be treated by the old Cheng, why did the husband and wife appear at the same time today, although they have met Mrs. Cheng many times, but they have not matured like this, and what is even more strange is that Mrs. Cheng still doesn't give a good face, and she hasn't provoked her even if she thinks about it.
Before Xiao Zheng could speak, Cheng Yanjin looked at him with a red face and a thick neck, and he didn't say a word for a long time, Mrs. Cheng twisted Cheng Yanjin's back with her hand and said, "You said it!" Cheng was so scared that he was excited.
"Xiao Guogong, what's that, the people in my house are enough, and the people in the inner house are enough, so I don't bother with your Ministry of Civil Affairs, I still don't want the beauties rewarded by the saints" Cheng Biting Jin snorted for a long time before he said it.
"What does this mean, you Lao Cheng is also a fierce general on the battlefield, why are you so afraid of your wife, take me as an old bustard, don't you think Lao Tzu is here to send you a beauty?! Am I as boring as a saint? Lao Tzu is here to make you rich," Xiao Zheng said with some anxious eyes.
"I'll just say, Mr. Xiao is a righteous gentleman, you just guess that people are here to send me a beauty in the palace, how about it, do you want to be crooked, alas, madam, what are you screwing me for?
Seeing Mrs. Xiao Cheng walk out, Xiao Zheng pointed to the painting and said, "Old Cheng, this is not ......."
"Oh, it was picked up by the sage in his house when he was the king of Qin, and no one wanted it on the table"
"You fucking just say that you can't steal Yu Shinan's, aren't you afraid that Old Master Yu will settle accounts with you?"
"What are you afraid of! I don't believe that Yu Shinan can enter the door of my house," he said, pointing to the guards outside with big shoulders and round waists.
"Damn, forget it, I won't tell you this, I came to you for something, I found a way to make money, do you want to buy shares?"
When Cheng Yanjin heard Xiao Zheng say this, his eyes were slitted with laughter, and the decadence that was scared out by his wife just now was swept away, and he looked at Xiao Zheng as if looking at a piece of gold ingot, "How much?" No, I'll go out alone."
"Knowing that your family has a strong foundation, it's not a matter of how much money you have, so you believe in me so much? But it's good to say that this time it's a part of it first, and you won't see the benefits in a year or two, so why don't you do it? If you don't do it, I won't talk nonsense with you, I'll go find the house and the auxiliary."
", I would rather believe that Li Jing will not lead the troops, and I will also make money with you Xiao Zheng will make money, the last time I bought a stake in the restaurant, my wife's family said at the time that Lao Cheng was stupid and threw money in, what was the result, now the intestines have made them regret it, my Lao Cheng is more visionary than them" Cheng Yanjin said in a low voice, and when the matter was settled with Cheng Yanjin, Xiao Zheng went to several other .......
When the sun was in the west, he slowly and leisurely arrived at the harem to see Li Shimin, and said that the three thousand palace maids received all the orders, and no longer spent a penny on the treasury, the excited Li Shimin stood up and paced straight, and the eldest grandson was also very happy after hearing it.
"I know that you have a way, Brother Xian, when I was preparing to send these palace maids out a few days ago, in addition to the womanizers in the court or the people who patted horses, some drank vinegar, and some jumped on their heels, so that I had no choice, how can you do things so beautifully like the Qing family"
"Weichen also needs the help of the saints, the ministers need manpower to build houses to accommodate these palace maids, if according to the original meaning of the saints, although these people have some money in their hands, but after three or two years, they do not have the skills to make a living How to survive, just rely on a few acres of thin fields and they are not able to cultivate, and they are not good or enter the green building or die of hunger and cold. Those sour Confucians above the court only saw the surface, it seemed that the saint was saving money for the palace to benefit the country, but it was to push these palace maids into the fire pit, the saint really did not consider this matter, please make a decision in the future to be people-oriented" Xiao Zheng rarely gave a solemn salute to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin stood in place and sighed for a while: "Yes, I still don't think about it, if I hadn't pointed it out to me, I would still think I had done a good thing, it seems that you are right, a good people-oriented, I have been taught."
After saying this, Xiao Zheng talked about the transaction with Hu Shang for 200,000 yuan, and Li Shimin and his family were even happier after hearing it, and they patted their chests and promised that as long as these two things were done well, they would fully support them.
"The minister has a more important thing to tell the sage," after speaking, he handed the few pieces of paper that Du Yi had brought to him from his sleeve to Li Shimin. After reading it, the expression on Li Shimin's face slowly became serious, and after a pause, he said, "Can these Hu businessmen be trusted?" ”
"At present, people may not be able to believe it, but we have studied and judged the news from them, and we can still analyze some valuable clues in it, the Turks will not make any big moves in the short term since they returned, and our trade with them has continued, and now Youzhou, Lingzhou and other places in contact with the Turks have opened markets, and we focus on changing their horses, cattle and sheep."
"Okay, then I will authorize the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and all matters related to border trade will be uniformly deployed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and they shall not interfere, sooner or later one day I will find this field back," Li Shimin said coldly.
"The minister also needs a person, a leader who can manage the three thousand palace maids, you can call this person's title the factory director or anything, if all of them are men, it will be easy to do, but these people are all women, it is a little tricky, so the minister came to you to ask you to send the right person to manage these palace maids."
"This, it's really not easy to do, let me think about it again" Li Shimin also felt a little troublesome.
Until Xiao Zheng walked away, Li Shimin was still looking at his back and smiling.
The eldest grandson said: "Erlang, I found that Mr. Xiao's ability to make money is simply invincible, and such a big burden of more than 3,000 palace maids has become a good thing for the country and the people in an instant." In less than a year, the upper wasteland by the Qujiang River became a cornucopia, and even the Sang Hong sheep in the Han Dynasty could not compare to him."
"How does Sang Hong Yang compare with my Aiqing, Sang Hong Yang is a scavenger of the people's fat and ointment, the people hate it to the bone, and they can't wait to cook it quickly, you see that Xiao Qing has earned so much money and come back, but he has ever taken a cent from the people of Limin" Li said proudly.
"Erlang, don't praise you as a courtier, if you really want to help, you should hurry up and find a candidate for him to manage these three thousand palace maids."
"This, I don't have either, if it's a man, you can send any general to take care of it, but it's all women, how to send people" Li Shimin also said with some difficulty.
"Erlang, far away in the sky, close in front of you," the eldest grandson said with a smile.
"Who, why don't I know?" Li Shimin asked curiously.
"It's your third sister, people can have a famous heroine among women, and they are familiar with palace affairs, isn't it just right to care about these palace maids?"
Li Sanniang's princess's mansion was a little deserted, after the Xuanwu Gate, Li Sanniang slowly calmed down from the excitement at the beginning, and she also understood that there would definitely be no death between her eldest brother and her second brother, but she couldn't accept it when the facts were in front of her.
After Li Yuan's throne, Li Shimin was also busy with the affairs of the world and did not have time to take care of her, although the eldest grandson gave some things over during the New Year's holidays, but it was also a courtesy greeting, and he was in a daze at a moon season, and suddenly sneezed.
The maid outside brought a small yellow door into the courtyard and gave a salute, saying that the saint had an order to invite Her Royal Highness the princess to the palace for a talk.
