Chapter 737: The Wise and Martial King

Chu'er has dealings with the two queens of the Ming Dynasty and is familiar with many concubines in the palace.

The "Nanming" royal family has a high profile, and takes the initiative to make friends with the Ming royal family, and the queen and princess of the harem frequently come and go to Daming.

Come and don't be rude, over time, Chongzhen, who loves face, will of course be embarrassed, and Queen Daming's visit to "Nanming" will come naturally.

Once Huang Sheng discovered that the Ming Dynasty was in danger like history, he would plan for Empress Zhang Yan and Empress Zhou to leave the capital during this time period to visit "Nanming".

Of course, they are safe and secure when they are not in the palace, and whether they will bring their young princes and princesses with them depends on everyone's luck.

Huang Sheng laid the groundwork, and prepared to save the two queens who refused to be humiliated and chose to die for the country, of course, he couldn't tell Concubine Lan, but Cai'er was well-behaved and obedient, what the prince asked her to do, she would definitely do better than expected.

Cai'er not only gets along well with the queen's concubines, but even the female officials, palace maids, and eunuchs in the palace regard Lan Cai'er as a benefactor.

Cai'er and Empress Zhou gossiped, and learned that Emperor Chongzhen felt that it was difficult to use it, felt that the harem personnel were too large, and was ready to lay off some palace maids to return to their hometowns to marry and settle down, and the emperor asked Empress Zhang Yan and Empress Zhou to take the lead in cleaning up the palace maids in their palace.

Such a move made the two queens worried, they knew that there was not much money left, and life in the palace was tight, if it wasn't for Concubine Lan to give orders for many jobs, the expenses of the palace would have been insufficient.

However, the lives of the ordinary people outside the palace are even more embarrassing, and the palace maids have to supplement the family after earning silver, and if they are let go home, most of them will be even more unable to live at home.

Cai'er was moved by compassion, and told the two queens that as long as they were dismissed by the Ming court, whether they were palace maids or eunuchs, "Nanming" would accept them, which would not only provide employment opportunities, but also allow them to gradually improve their lives.

Why is Nanming just not bad for money? Empress Zhang Yan has gone through two dynasties, from Emperor Tianqi to Emperor Chongzhen, every day is worried about military salaries and disaster relief silver, and the king of the south emigrates thousands of miles at every turn, why is he so rich?

Zhang Yan asked: "Princess Lan, you must know that the number of palace maids who have been abolished this time may reach a thousand, and they are all women who have passed their prime age, so it is not easy to arrange a suitable livelihood for them." The mourning family refused to agree to the emperor because they wanted to save themselves and take on some more work to make up for it, so that everyone could cooperate to support their lives. ”

Empress Zhou's eyes were red, the life of the emperor's family was so unbearable, even the virtuous sister-in-law could not be supported by the country, sad and painful!

Zhou Hou choked up and said: "Sister-in-law, I have wronged you, my brother and sister are useless, they can't be as capable as Princess Lan, and they won't earn money to supplement the royal family." ”

Zhang Yan sighed: "Alas, why is it the queen's?" You have the opportunity to do things in a woman's family, and only the Nanwang family is extraordinary, and other families can't learn it at all. ”

Cai'er said solemnly: "Although the two queens can rest assured, whether it is a thousand people or two or three thousand, 'Nanming' can be settled, and now Nanming has captured dozens of small kings' palaces.

Most of these palaces have been converted into official posts and inns for external reception, business is getting better and better, and profits are increasing, if there are palace maids and eunuchs from the Ming court to manage.

In the future, their profitability will be even more limitless, and the income they will receive will definitely be enough to buy a rich dowry for themselves. ”

Zhang Yan was surprised: "The king of the south destroyed dozens of small countries in the south? Even other people's palaces have been seized? This, this, what a great thing. ”

Princess Kunxing, who is embarrassed to meet guests and likes to listen to Cai'er tell interesting stories about "Nanming", has been eavesdropping behind the screen, and her mother, Queen Zhou, knows that it is also up to her.

Beauty loves heroes, at this time, Zhu Yujiao will not consider how many killings will be caused by the southern king sweeping Southeast Asia, she has a little star of worship in her eyes, and in her mind is her wise and martial king with a spear and a prancing horse galloping across the country, and the enemy country is looking at the wind.

Cai'er said proudly: "My lord's army is everywhere, the countries of Southeast Asia have been annihilated, too many cities have surrendered without a fight, many buildings and halls have been completely accepted, and the royal palace that has been taken over has basically not been destroyed in the war." ”

Empress Zhou was puzzled: "Concubine Lan, is it feasible for King Nan to convert many palaces into post houses for external reception?" The palace only knows that the Ming Dynasty has abolished the post stations, the reason is that the post stations need to be subsidized by the imperial court every year, and the imperial court has dried up and can no longer afford to post them. ”

Cai'er earnestly induced the two queens, she said: "How can there be a reason why the post house is not profitable, why the Daming post house wants the court to subsidize the two queens, it may not be understood, but the concubine body knows it."

If these inns are placed in 'Nanming' and managed by concubines, they will be able to earn all the money of the palace. ”

This is definitely not a boast, Cai'er is a strong woman in the business world, she is very shrewd in business, and many restaurants and inns under her name are good livelihoods for money.

She also has an experienced management team, clear rules and regulations, and a large amount of liquidity.

The two queens were silent, and they understood the meaning of Cai'er's words, because the emperor had also said many times that the Ming Dynasty was simply unofficial and not greedy, and it had developed to the point of blatantness.

Cai'er said: "'Nanming' business prosperity businessmen such as clouds, 'Nanming' does not discriminate against and oppress merchants, these people come to 'Nanming' to do business, and find that they can stay in the palace that they need to look up to before, most of them are willing to take out silver coins to stay, so the post house is a good business to make money." ”

It is also true that the hotel in the future belongs to the original intention of recovering the cost and making a profit after a one-time investment by relying on the daily passenger flow.

"Nanming" empty gloves white wolf got many magnificent palaces for free, the location of the king's mansion is of course the best place for the kingdom feng shui and wind mirrors, most of them are in the center of the city is also the cleanest place in the city.

These palaces were renovated, repaired, and decorated as seized real estate, and the input costs were drizzle, and because the post houses and inns rebuilt by the royal palace were of unique grade, location, and scenery, they naturally had a surplus of customers, and their profitability was undoubted, and they naturally made a lot of money.

Zhang Yan said: "In this way, the mourning family is relieved, the people who go out of the palace run the post house, or they will not suffer too much if they run in the palace, and these people will ask Concubine Lan to take care of them in the future." ”

Cai'er said: "What these palace people do when they go to the post house is very different from what they do in the palace, and they will be much freer, don't worry, queen!" ”

Empress Zhou stood up and said, "Thank you, Concubine Lan, for your help, this palace is polite." ”

Cai'er hurriedly stood up and helped Queen Zhou and said: "We should be a family in the future, I am afraid that we will not need concubines to take care of them in the future, someone can do such a thing, ......, cluck, cluck." ”

Zhu Yujiao behind the screen suddenly felt that her face was feverish, but her heart was sweet.

Princess Kunxing knew since she was a child that her father and mother often worried about the use of the palace, and the queen mother even sewed underwear for her father.

She is about to marry Nanwang, who strongly advocates women's participation in work, and secretly resolves that she must find ways to learn business in the future, so that her father and queen mother will no longer worry about money.
