Chapter 270: Wealth
Back in Yuefu, thinking about the ubiquitous scheming in the Forbidden City, Zhu Qiming couldn't sleep all night.
The queen mother, Concubine Wu, and King Yu have no old grievances, and now they may have added new worries due to social affairs. With the emperor here, it seems that all the expected changes will not happen, but both sides have obviously done their homework, as if they want to collide violently on a future showdown day. It's incredible to rack your brains for something that would never have happened!
He couldn't figure out when and where the key node of the showdown between the two sides would appear for a while, so he shifted his attention to the delicate relationship between the Empress Dowager and Qin Huifei. Because of the long history of the Jingci Immortal Master and the weakness and incompetence of the Qin family, the Empress Dowager may have downplayed the old grudge with the Qin clan, and now that the Qin clan is pregnant, the Empress Dowager's concern for her should be credible. Just imagine, for the sake of a little residual old grudge, he did not hesitate to stage the tragedy of his grandmother hurting his grandson, this is against human nature, unless the queen mother is like Wu Zetian, the desire for power has swelled to the extent of rebellion, otherwise, such speculation is completely nonsense! And the current queen mother only has a watchful heart, and has no desire for power.
So, can there be an intersection of interests between the Empress Dowager and the Qin family? This is very important, and it is difficult, but it is by no means completely impossible, if the Queen Mother is really worried about Sheji.
Early the next morning, Princess Changde came to Yuefu, under the pretext of discussing Zhu Qiming's marriage.
"King Yue, I know that you went to Xianxi Palace last night, you must have heard about Hui Concubine, after being seen by the female doctor, Hui Concubine is no longer in trouble, the queen mother ordered, in the future, Hui Concubine's clothing and consumption will be all under the control of Xianxi Palace."
Zhu Qiming was in a daze and used breakfast, his mind was full of sleep, and when he saw that Princess Changde was sitting down opposite the dining table, her face was a little arrogant, so she forced her spirit to put on a smiling face.
"Princess Changde is really neat!"
Princess Changde raised her chin proudly and snorted softly, "That's, who am I!" ”
Zhu Qiming endured it, and finally reluctantly asked about the gossip in the palace: "The queen mother ordered this, there must be something to point out, could it be that someone went to Concubine Hui yesterday?" ”
Princess Changde was probably a little confused, tilted her head and thought for a while before she said slowly: "It is often a common thing to come and go between various palaces, yesterday Concubine Zhou and Concubine Wan sent someone to send some pastries to Concubine Hui, and Concubine Hui only ate a little bit, is there anything wrong with this?" ”
That's it, why bother to open an evil sky for Princess Changde! Zhu Qiming didn't want to dwell on the dirty things in the palace anymore, so he immediately changed the topic: "What about those embroideries?" ”
Princess Changde's eyes lit up, "There are only a few palace people who do things, and Concubine Hui instructed them to embroider twenty embroideries, I was worried that it would be inconvenient to get rid of it, but when I took it back to the house, I was seen by Xue Huan and a group of friends, and they were sold out on the spot." ”
"How's the price?"
"A total of fifty thousand taels of silver."
Fifty thousand taels? Oh my God, it's a huge profit! Zhu Qiming stood up suddenly, feeling sleepy, "Cough, this ······ Fifty thousand taels is not much, it's cheaper for them! I said Princess Changde, Xue Huan has to learn to let others bid, bid, understand? ”
Princess Changde's eyes widened, and she looked incredulous, "Fifty thousand taels is not too much?" You're so black-hearted! How has there ever been such an outrageously expensive embroidery? Don't do it, lest you go to the trap of others! ”
Zhu Qiming was immediately dumbfounded, "How can this be called a trap for others?" What a beautiful embroidery! Besides, you have to see who buys embroidery, and will the people buy it? What do you feel sorry for Jingzhong Kuoshao! How has the money of those gentlemen ever been used on the right path? Thousands of gold buy laughter, thousands of hidden Jiaojiao, how many gold holes are waiting for them? Let them not only collect exquisite embroidery, but also less expenses, can save a lot of unbearable life stain memory is not, we are doing good deeds! ”
"No more!"
Hey, I can't hold you yet! Zhu Qiming remembered the past when he was a child and fought with Princess Changde and was always defeated, so he smiled maliciously, "Hehe, Xue Huan is also idle, he once said that he will go to the battlefield after he is familiar with the art of war, and now that the society is full of events, it is time for him to fulfill his promise." ”
Princess Changde was stunned for a moment, then got up and pounced, and suddenly stretched out a hand to Zhu Qiming's ear. "You dare to advance on the emperor and slander Xue Huan to go to the battlefield, I'm not done with you! He went to the battlefield, who came forward to take care of the embroidery! ”
Say it sooner! Zhu Qiming dodged agilely, easily avoiding Princess Changde's bluff, "Oops, I almost forgot, there are still a few captains of my uncle's generation in front of me, which round will Xue Huan go into battle?" ”
"That's it!" Princess Changde muttered, and finally left Zhu Qiming and returned to her seat. "Eh, King Yue, embroidery is profitable, can we get some benefits from it?"
"Want a piece of the pie? No need to talk! Zhu Qiming saw that Princess Changde was pouting, so he remembered Yun Niang who was in Jiangnan, and he was not sure for a while whether he could get the emperor's sister involved, "However, let's think of ideas, maybe there will be other ways to make money." ”
"What is the way to make money? How much is the profit? Princess Changde looked straight at Zhu Qiming, subconsciously picked up a piece of golden cake with her hand, took a small bite, and slowly put the almost intact golden cake back on the plate.
"You don't have to ask what the wealth is, as for the profits, let's put it this way, if you give 100,000 taels of silver, after a year, 100,000 taels of silver will most likely become 300,000 taels."
Princess Changde's eyes instantly burst into brilliance, "I'll give 300,000 taels!" "I took the cake again, but this time I took a big bite, and I didn't eat as carefully as Fang Cai.
You usually don't say anything, but you have such a thick family background! Zhu Qiming couldn't help but be stunned, "Why do you want so much silver?" You don't have anywhere to spend! ”
"I didn't think about spending it, I was happy to see the money I earned, and I could throw it away if I couldn't spend it! Besides, when you are in dire need of silver, I will be your biggest creditor, and see if you dare to be arrogant in front of me, hum! Princess Changde was slightly shocked, as if she had an understanding, "I'll go to my uncle and uncle to think of ideas, and it shouldn't be a problem to raise two million taels of silver······
How good is it to make a fortune in silence, is it necessary to be so public? Zhu Qiming raised his hand and said, "Stop quickly!" ”
Princess Changde couldn't stop at all, "I will secretly go to the two capitals and one to walk around, and it is not difficult to raise 20 million taels of silver for the relatives and Haoyou who are close!" Yan Bi was so excited that he gave up his chopsticks and took the remaining half of the cake with his bare hands and stuffed it into his mouth.
The "two capitals" in the mouth of Princess Changde naturally refer to Beijing and Nanjing, and "one capital" refers to Fengyang, the central capital, which almost gathered more than eighty percent of the prominent figures and families of the Ming Dynasty.
Twenty million taels of silver? Zhu Qiming suddenly fell into a dream. With 20 million taels of silver as the foundation, with the help of a group of prominent people who have opened the door to convenience, they can completely create a huge and incomparable business empire, and it is far from being comparable to the evil Jinyun Pavilion! If this can be done, I am afraid that the profit of one year is far greater than the financial income of the whole year, and at that time, he will be the common owner of almost all the prominent figures in the country, and he will be the god of wealth wherever he goes. The prince who is still a fart!
Although such a dream is poisonous, Zhu Qiming didn't want to destroy such a wonderful illusion, and muttered: "The cost is a big game, the benefit of 20 million taels of silver, and the algorithm is different, and in a year, the profit may reach 100 million taels!" ”
"Ahem, cough, ······"
Seeing Princess Changde slumped on the seat coughing, Zhu Qiming said blankly: "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Choke······ Choked. ”
