Leng Siye, in fact, his original name was Leng Shi.

In his life, he has had many names. He used to do a job, so he changed his name. However, he is most well-known for his surname Leng, and his family wealth is full of wealth, and he is respected as the fourth master.

Many people think that the fourth master is stupid. But those who did business with him knew that he was as shrewd as a fox.

In business, he won't give up a penny, and the price is whatever it should be.

It's just that he's also very principled. Doing business never violates the principles he has set for himself. is like the cold wolf gate, guarding those rules, and would rather stick to it yourself.

Also because of this, many people like to do business with him, because. He doesn't lie. There is the shrewdness of a businessman, and there is no merchant's philistine calculation.

The fourth master is very stupid in life, and he is willing to pay money for the people and things he is happy about. But it's only materialistic, because he can afford it, and he doesn't really care about it.

But if anything else, he would be very stingy.

For example, emotion.

He doesn't like people easily. He likes Yuan Qingling very much now. But Yuan Qingling was like a bunch of briquette scum in his eyes before. He looked down on all sorts of things.

If it weren't for watching the hundreds of lives on the leprosy mountain snatch back from her hands. I'm still afraid that I still have the idea of killing her.

Therefore, when he likes someone, he is wholeheartedly devoted to being good to that person.

In order to save Yuan Qingling's life, he gave her the place of his only apprentice.

The fourth master is indeed a cold-faced and warm-hearted person.

In the fourth master's life, what he wants most is a snow wolf that belongs to him.

When people reach a certain time, their material life has reached a certain level, and their pursuit will go to a higher level, from material to spiritual.

Snow Wolf is his spiritual pursuit, many people don't know why he is so persistent, including the people of the Cold Wolf Gate, who think that he wants the Snow Wolf, just to make the Cold Wolf Gate more worthy of the name.

But it's not!

At noon that day, he sat in front of the porch, holding the gray wolf in his hand, looking at the figure of the snow wolf flashing outside the courtyard, the plunder flashed from under his eyes, but he had to listen to Rong Yue's in Balabala, "I heard that this is the emperor's intention, let you marry the princess Yu Wenling." ”

The fourth master hugged the gray wolf and stroked the gray wolf's head, the wolf was unruly, but he was tamed by the fourth master as well-behaved and obedient as a dog, and let his big hand suddenly cover it, "Do it!" ”

"The emperor may have ulterior motives!" Rong Yue reminds.

"I can marry the princess to a market merchant, I don't believe him if you say he has no intentions." The fourth master's eyes are deep.

"Do you really want to agree?" Rong Yue felt a little risky.

"Promise!" The fourth master let go of the gray wolf, let it run out, turned around and entered the house, "You tell someone to prepare, choose a good day and an auspicious day for a big gift!" ”

Since the opening of the Northern Tang Dynasty, there has never been an attempt to marry a princess to a businessman.

Emperor Ming Yuan's move brought out a great message, that is, the imperial court began to attach importance to merchants and the economy.

Since the opening of the Great Ancestor Dynasty, the Northern Tang Dynasty has always been a policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, and by the time of the Taishang Dynasty, the status of merchants was slowly improved, and some policies that benefited merchants were introduced, and there were giant businessmen like Leng Siye.

Now, the imperial court has opened up trade with the Great Zhou and married the princess to a merchant family, and it seems that the imperial court should be going to develop commerce on a large scale.

Emperor Ming Yuan stood by the window late at night, remembering that if the economy prospered and taxes and silver flowed inexhaustibly to the treasury, he would finally bid farewell to the title of the poor emperor!

Concubine Xian's condition was already very serious, so Emperor Ming Yuan decided to handle the princess's marriage as soon as possible, preferably in the first month, which would kill the people in the Ministry of Rites.

Fortunately, the efficiency of work is linked to whether there is money or not, and the fourth master has silver, so there are naturally more people doing things, and the efficiency of doing things will naturally go up.

The wedding date was set on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which was very hasty, but there should be a lot of the same, and it was even very grand.

The household department and the inner government sorted out the dowry list for the princess's marriage that day and handed it to Emperor Ming Yuan for inspection.

After Emperor Ming Yuan saw it, he frowned, "Why are you so shabby?" ”

The chief steward of the inner mansion spread his hands and said helplessly: "It is difficult for a skillful woman to cook without rice, the emperor, now that this year is down, silver has to be spent everywhere, the silver of the palace ladies at the end of the year, cloth and satin, jewelry, rouge gouache, lamp oil and wax, and the needs of the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, this is a big expense." ”

Emperor Ming Yuan actually gave the princess the best he could, but he was shy in his pocket, and there was really no way.

After thinking about it, he said, "Okay, let's do it for the time being, I will think about it again." ”

The next day, he summoned all the princes to the palace.

Emperor Ming Yuan's words are also very simple, your sister is going to get married, and you as elder brothers have to add makeup to her.

Yu Wenhao is not stingy, because Yuan Qingling thought of this matter before, when the emperor was marrying King Huai, he was already very shabby, and now when the princess gets married, it is the New Year, and there is really not much silver that can be taken out.

So, today, the emperor summoned them to the palace, and he knew that it was because of the dowry, so he told Yu Wenhao to add 100,000 taels of makeup to the princess.

Yuwen Hao's 100,000 taels were thrown out, and King Huai immediately said to give 100,000 taels.

King Ji and King An glared at King Huai fiercely, this person who eats soft rice will definitely be able to take out 100,000 taels casually, but if they have a bad head, if they give less, won't it make his father unhappy?

But 100,000 taels is not something that can be taken out casually, and even if it can be taken out, it is distressing.

The two finally agreed to take 20,000 taels.

Emperor Ming Yuan sighed deeply, looking at his sons, he really had a lot of feelings in his heart.

He, who is a monarch's father, can't take out 100,000 taels casually, so they can take it out casually.

Let it be a little longer, and as long as the treasury is sufficient, he will decree that the silver allocated for internal affairs be doubled every year, and then life will be better.

Emperor Ming Yuan asked Duke Mu Ru to record that these silver must be in place before Chinese New Year's Eve.

The emperor also gave 100,000 taels of silver, which is not rude to the princess's dowry.

The inner government took the silver to the dowry, and carried it to the palace box by box, only waiting for the day of the princess's wedding, and then transported these boxes to the princess's mansion.

The twenty-ninth day of the lunar month is the New Year, and from the twenty-eighth onwards, the palace will begin to be closed.

Chinese New Year's Eve is to enter the palace, the palace banquet is very grand, and the concubines naturally attend, except for the "seriously ill" concubine.

I heard that Concubine Xian's condition is getting worse and worse, and there will always be a terrible cry in the middle of the night, and no one in the harem knows what kind of disease Concubine Xian has, but she only thinks that this disease is too terrible, and she always gets sick in the middle of the night.

Yu Wenhao brought his family into the palace to attend the dinner, and went to Qingyu Palace to say goodbye.

Concubine Xian sat in the hall, her hair was scattered, she looked at him with angry eyes, and scolded, "You have no conscience, your mother gave birth to you and gave birth to you, and you don't care about your mother?" ”
