The prince was short of money, and the first person he thought of was Lin Sanjin. He specially sent someone to Yixing, took Lin Sanjin to Lin'an, and arranged to live in a mansion not far from him. According to the promise that Zhao Gou gave him before, Lin Sanjin, who was born in a businessman, has a dignified identity, the assistant of the prince's mansion, although this is not a formal official position, but it is also an official from the sixth grade, and he is led by Yulu! In this way, not only can the father and daughter reunite at any time, but they also have a cornucopia and a money-maker, so the prince is very beautiful in his heart!

Lin Sanjin's heart is even more beautiful! Her daughter is definitely going to become the crown princess, and she will be a dignified prince in the future! So to help the prince make money, he spent 120,000 thoughts.

After learning that the prince's minimum limit was not allowed to trap the people and harm the people, Lin Sanjin's natural business acumen began to work at a high speed. With the towering tree of the crown prince, is there any business in the world that he doesn't dare to do that he can't do?

At the same time, the prince took over another person, that is, Zhu Changyuan, the main hall of Yixing County. After Yue Fei pacified Ma Jin's water bandits, the pain in Yixing County was gone, and Yue Fei was sent by Zhang Jun to Liangzhejiang West Road to recover the six counties. And he, Zhu Changyuan, was thinking about serving the prince day and night, so Torin Sanjin wrote a sincere self-recommendation letter to the prince, and this followed.

His own small inner mansion, in the final analysis, is a group of young men, and they can't really deal with the outside, so Zhu Changyuan has become the only candidate for the crown prince. And Zhu Changyuan officially became the "Grand Headquarters" of the Prince Mansion, and his official position was promoted three levels in a row.

After arranging these things, the prince soaked with Lin Sanjin all day long and studied his great method of seeking money.

At this time, the income of the imperial court was mainly guaranteed by salt and iron and taxes, because of the frequent wars, the tax was basically cut off. Salt and iron were the only important economic pillars that could ensure the normal operation of the Southern Song Dynasty.

"You can't move the salt tax, and you can't move the iron tools for the time being." Zhao Tianci frowned and said, "Lao Lin, how about trade?" ”

Lin Sanjin was stunned for a moment, "Trade? Then he suddenly said, "Prince, are you talking about foreign business?" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Tianci said. "It's very limited to think of a way only from yourself, and you have to find an external source."

Lin Sanjin said, "There is not much business that can be done now, the key is that the caravan can't go, and the generals from all over the country stand on their own mountain, and they have to pay money to buy the road wherever they go, and sometimes they may be empty of people and money, and they can't do it." ”

Zhao Tianci was really a little helpless, and there was coal when he opened it. He can also teach people to make a simple steam engine, and then make other tools from those skilled craftsmen, but in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River, I have not heard of where coal is produced.

Lin Sanjin was also a little unbearable when he saw the prince's sad face, so he said tentatively: "Prince, it's not that all businesses can't be done, some businesses are still profitable!" ”

"Tell me about it!"

Lin Sanjin said, "For example, a restaurant." Brothels, gambling houses, these make a living. It's been very prosperous. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Tianci's eyes widened, "It's just a matter of letting my dignified prince go to open a restaurant, it's too exaggerated to open a brothel or casino, right?" ”

Lin Sanjin said, "Prince, you just need to nod, and I will do the specific things for the prince." ”

Zhao Tianci hesitated, although these livelihoods can make money. But if it was known by those ministers, or by his four masters, he would be mad.

"If it's possible, you can give it a try, but don't say I'm behind you." Zhao Tianci said solemnly.

"Prince, don't worry. I will never mention His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Lin Sanjin said confidently.

The two agreed on the "secret method of making money", and Lin Sanjin began to prepare. Because he has the support of the prince behind him, what place does he want in Lin'an Mansion is not a matter of words? However, Lin Sanjin's target is not Lin'an Mansion, but Qinhuai River!

Sixteen flower boats converted from official warships are lined up on the Qinhuai River, each boat is a mobile flower building, eating and drinking together, bathing one-stop, as long as you like, the ship is ready, ready to welcome guests at any time.

However, if you want to get on the flower boat, it needs capital, ten taels of silver is the bottom line, if you want to stay on it, you have to spend at least one hundred taels of silver, as for the popular girl on the boat, the price is higher, if there is a local tyrant who wants to take the girl to Wushan, then he will be ready to go bankrupt.

Unlike these sixteen flower boats that can be used if you have money, far from the shore in the middle of the river, ten small but more imposing painting boats are specially prepared for those talented people. If you are really talented and can pass the three levels of painting, you can board the boat for free and swim the Qinhuai River with the beautiful women on the boat. If you don't learn enough and want to achieve your wish, then pay for it obediently. But the first level must be passed, otherwise it is useless to have money.

People are very strange animals, and the more they can't get them, the more precious they feel. Therefore, as soon as these 26 "paradises on earth" appeared, they became the objects of competition among the wealthy literati in the vicinity, and in less than ten days, the Qinhuai River was in heaven and earth, and it became famous all over the world.

And those who don't care about the flower boat or the painting boat, as long as there are guests coming, they will never close the door and welcome guests day and night, which makes those who "have a heart" rush to it and are addicted.

The crown prince had an extra income of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every day, and his small inner mansion immediately became a treasury of gold and silver. Lin Fengxian and Li Ge'er couldn't get busy anymore, so the prince moved the financial center of Xiaonefu to another mansion bought by Lin Sanjin, and the number of people also skyrocketed to one hundred and twenty people.

However, the so-called tree is a big move, and after a long time, trouble will come. There was such a big piece of fat there, and no one came out to say who the owner was, and the people who looked red began to make small moves.

How big is the reputation of heaven and earth, just look at the prince's mansion to know, in this almost closed small world, now it is said that heaven and earth, except for Lu Fangfei and other people who are "not suitable to know" are still in the dark, and other people gradually understand that it is the prince's inheritance. And every "man" is itching in his heart, his own industry has never been there, isn't it a bit too much?

In fact, this is a secret that cannot be hidden, the mansion has a huge amount of money in the account every day, although Lin Fengxian and Li Ge'er never ask the source, but they also know where the money comes from.

So, under the constant hints or explicit instructions of a group of people, the prince decided to take them to the Qinhuai River.

The prince secretly made an appointment with Li Zongzhi, Lu Qinghou, Zhao Yiyan, Fan Yunqi, Zhu Chongwen, Fan Xun, Ma Dai, Liu Xun, Dong Yuan and others, changed into civilian clothes, and sneaked out.

Out of the confines of the Imperial City, they can swagger because they don't have to worry about being recognized.

Since the water bandit Ma Jin in Taihu Lake was suppressed by Yue Fei, the Qinhuai River has also become peaceful, and there is no need to worry about unknown ships suddenly killing and robbing, so from Lin'an out of the city to the north, the horse walked a short distance to the north, and arrived at the Qinhuai River ferry.

Because there is heaven and earth on the water, there are also restaurants on the shore, the fang market is non-stop day and night, the whole ferry port is full of people, there are thousands of people, it is really a prosperous era of peace.

Seeing the more than 20 big ships on the water from a distance, Li Zongzhi sighed, "Prince, is this all our family's property?" ”

Zhao Tianci said proudly, "It must be!" ”

Lu Qinghou swallowed his saliva and said, "I heard that Yangzhou Bamei is here, don't say that it is Bamei, just if you can see one of them, even if you say a word, it is worth dying." ”

"That's all you have to offer?" Zhao Tianci glanced at him, "What kind of prostitute is not a prostitute, they are all prostitutes, what difference can there be?" Besides, you be careful of the three sisters-in-law at home, if there is a little bit of news about this matter, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to live in peace for the rest of your life, right? ”

Lu Qinghou's face turned pale, "The prince is right, so the life and future of this great general are in the hands of the prince." However, there is one thing that the prince may not know, Yangzhou Bamei is very talented, and she has never been a performer. ”

Fan Xun pursed his lips, "General Lu, you are not clever at all. ”

"You little brat, what do you know?" Lu Qinghou blurted out.

Fan Xun looked at the prince with a smile, "Prince, he said I was a little brat!" ”

"Yes, what can I do?" Zhao Tianci said nonchalantly, "Won't it be in a few years?" He looked at the crowd of people in front of him, "I'm afraid we don't have a chance!" ”

Li Zongzhi said with a smile, "There is a chance, prince, look over there, there is a bidding table, let's go and bid." ”

The crowd was even denser outside a tall booth near the ferry, where two tall men stood on a high platform, and behind them stood a thin old man with a wooden hammer in his hand, and was shouting with all his might.

"Today's chief flower owner is Zhou Xiufang, the head of Yangzhou's eight beauties!" The old man shouted.

There was a commotion in the crowd.

"Who is Zhou Xiufang?" The crown prince didn't know her, he looked at Lu Qinghou, whose eyes were straight, and asked.

"Prince, Zhou Xiufang debuted at the age of twelve, she looks like a shy flower, she is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she also does a good job, which is not inferior to today's Li family!" Lu Qinghou said with bright eyes.

"Such a cow? Can it still be compared to my master? Zhao Tianci pursed his lips.

"Drinking tea at the same table with Zhou Meiren, the starting price is one hundred taels of silver!" The old man's voice came.

"One hundred and fifty taels!" Someone shouted immediately.

"One hundred and eighty taels!"

"Two hundred taels!"

“……”

Zhao Tianci rolled his eyes, did these people's money pick up for nothing?

In less than a quarter of an hour, he called for five hundred taels. But there are not many people who call behind it, after all, they are just sitting at the same table with others, and they can't even touch their hands, and five hundred taels of snowflakes and silver are thrown in, and it is fake to say that they are not distressed.

"Prince, should we follow?" Lu Qinghou asked.

"You want to go?" Zhao Tianci asked.

Lu Qinghou nodded, "We have to go together!" ”

"Okay, then follow! Old horse, follow the price! Zhao Tianci gestured to Ma Dai.

Ma Dai grinned, "Prince, we don't have any money on us!" ”

"No money?" Everyone's eyes looked at the crown prince, and Zhao Tianci looked dazed, "Do we also need to bring money?" (To be continued.) )
