In Xiao Lanhuan's study, Xiao Lanhuan was taking the group of clan disciples to check the bids for the bidding of Tianjin Port one by one, Xiao Zhi looked at the gold stars in his eyes, and simply leaned on the chair, and kept complaining, "Why do you have to look at it word by word, directly according to the standard silver, choose ten from top to bottom, whoever has more money will choose whom, no one should complain, we are also relaxed." ”

Xiao Lanwei was walking around with a bidding book, and when he saw Xiao Zhi's shapeless appearance, he turned around and smashed the bidding book in his hand on Xiao Zhi's head, "Let you not learn and have no skills, you look like this, and you are embarrassed to say that you have mixed up with the imperial study?" Just looking at the silver? Even if you haven't learned how to govern Hong Kong, you should have learned salt politics. In terms of salt policy, if a salt merchant wants to sell salt, he must first buy a salt lead, which is divided into long and short leads, and the amount of salt is also different. Let me ask you, which one do you want to sell to a short quote with a purchase amount of 100,000 taels of silver, and another company to buy a long quote with a quotation of 150,000 taels of silver? Long brains. "Another knock on the head.

Xiao Zhi was hit twice in a row, so he had to shrug his shoulders stupidly, "I don't look at the standards of both of you, everything is on par with money, so I can learn from it." Besides, I'm in the imperial study, and you also said that it was mixed, and I have my share in digging nests in trees and catching fish in the lake, and I don't say anything else, you know. ”

Before the words came out, there were two more hammers, Xiao Lanhuan's face was not good, "I don't care what the outside says, you guys, whoever dares to talk nonsense, I will cut out someone's tongue." What is the princess for, for Tianjin Port, for the people of the world, what can she get, except for a stigma, she can't get anything! Outsiders don't know, you don't know yet, she didn't even keep a silk. The errand of Tianjin Port is done, all of you can leave a name in history, after returning to the dynasty, praise and a bright future, the people of the world can not remember her kindness, you must remember. ”

Tianjin Port Jiangang Silver changed the imperial court appropriation to self-raising, these clan children came for this matter, Xiao Lanhuan didn't want to hide it from them, and he couldn't hide it at all.

The sons and brothers present at this banquet all shrank their necks, knowing that Xiao Lan had moved the real fire, and they didn't even dare to come out.

Xiao Zhi has always been used to his mouth, and Xiao Lanwei has always been like this, so he didn't pay attention to it, but he never expected that he would stab a hornet's nest at this time. He touched his neck uncomfortably, and reluctantly said: "It's my mouth that owes, it should be beaten, it should be beaten." Then he really slapped himself twice.

Xiao Lanwei sat down on the chair, her face did not improve, "That's it, blame you for what you did, in the end, it's all my fault." "It's that I can't protect her thoroughly, and I'm going to suffer from this.

Everyone looked at each other, and only one or two of the clan disciples who were familiar with Xiao Lanwei had the courage to comfort Xiao Lanhuan.

After making this trouble, no one in the study dared to steal and play tricks, all of them sat upright, holding the bidding documents in their hands, staring at them, and hated to stare at the two flowers. Xiao Lanwei said after a while, and slowly said: "This time the port was opened in advance, and the port capacity is limited, so it is said that ten merchants will be selected, but how to choose these ten merchants, we need to consider it carefully." Not only the standard silver, but also the types of goods licensed by these ten companies issued to the maritime trade permit. Spices, treasures, raw materials, silk fabrics, ceramics, metal objects, utensils, groceries, medicines, and even food are all within the scope of maritime trade. So in addition to the silver, we also have to look at how their bids are written to be distinguishable. ”

Xiao continued: "In addition, considering the capacity, the number of ships launching and returning to the port every day must also be limited to ensure the smooth operation of the port. Therefore, the number of ships of each family should also be taken into account. Only when these are the same, can the winners and losers be judged by the amount of standard silver. Of course, if there is not much difference in the standard silver, it depends on the amount of silver they give to the princess. In addition, if Governor Li or General Yu has a recommendation, they should also take care of it more, after all, the operation of Tianjin Port in the future depends on their soldiers, and they must always give them some thin noodles. ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, obedient like quails, and respond in unison: "Got it." Then proceed to review the bids.

Xiao Lanwei looked at everyone, with a clear face, and continued: "Since we have talked about it all today, let's talk about it and open the skylight to say something." I know that all of you here are all children of the clan, all of them are from extraordinary backgrounds, all of them are delicate and expensive, and they are all dressed to reach out for food to open their mouths, and gold slaves and silver maids are calling, but if you want to do or want, give an order, and someone will help you do it. Therefore, if you are sent to Tianjin, you can be regarded as suffering an old sin. It's not as prosperous as the capital, not to mention eating, drinking, and having fun, running to the construction site of the port, the sea breeze blowing, the sun is shining, and all the shirtless people are seen at a glance. ”

Xiao Lanwei looked around and continued: "But you have to know that you are here, not to make you suffer and suffer, but to give you the opportunity to make contributions. It's not that there is no one in the court, the emperor wants to be able to take out some places from the mouths of the ministers and give them to you, not because you are all talented and talented, but because you are lucky enough to be born into the Xiao family in this life. They are all not small people, you have to know what is good or bad. So put away your wandering look, make some achievements, don't embarrass Your Majesty, don't embarrass the people in your family, and don't embarrass the surname Xiao. ”

If it is said that these sect disciples were frightened by Xiao Lanwei just now and kept silent, then there are really many people who lowered their heads because of shame at this time. Without him, there are many people who complain and complain these days.

Xiao Lanwei was still saying, "To put it mildly, there is no one more qualified to be a child of Anointing Yu than me." Why don't I stay in the capital and enjoy my blessings with peace of mind, come all the way to suffer and suffer, and also lose the reputation of the princess, you don't want to think about it, the princess's reputation is hindered, is my reputation good? But at the end of the day, what we got as a couple and what we didn't have was in the account book in front of you. We don't want anything, just to have peace of mind, just to come to this world in vain, just to sit in a rocking chair with old eyes and dim eyes to reminisce about the past and when talking to our children and grandchildren, we can say politely, I was also a man who stood up to the sky, and I have sought the well-being of the people in this world. ”

"I don't ask you to do the same as I think, I only ask you, even for yourself, even for fame and fortune, to do a good job in Tianjin Port! You haven't received less filial piety from these businessmen these days, I don't care if you collect money, as long as you don't make a mistake! Do you understand? ”

Xiao Lan shouted loudly, everyone was a clever man, and involuntarily replied, "I understand!"

Xiao Lanhuan's face was solemn, "It's good to understand, then do it well!" Read all the bids first, and then select the appropriate ten according to the situation to issue maritime trade licenses. Don't think that this is the end, after the opening of the harbor and the launch of merchant ships, how to organize the fleet to berth, how to separate it from the part that is still under construction, how to manage the garrison, how to collect taxes, go back and think about it for me, this is not an overnight thing, this is to be used for a hundred or even hundreds of years, and all the guidelines and policies must be formulated well, and there can be no mistakes. There are also many things to do later, such as the construction of Yuanyi, Shibosi, and Rongchang. Young masters, cheer up, this is not the time to work without help. ”

Xiao Lanwei's words were both intimidating and encouraging, and for a while, everyone's blood boiled and they vowed to make some achievements.

Xiao Lanwei grinded her teeth in the study with the children of the clan, Mu Qingling grinded her teeth with several official wives and ladies in the back garden, and she had to do a full set of plays, and the princess who was extravagant and loved to listen to flattery and praise won the emperor's reward, how could she not show it off and show off!

Mrs. Xue looked at this Vermilion Bird robe and couldn't help admiring, "If you want to say that the Xue family is also the president of the Silk Chamber of Commerce, why don't you think you have seen good things, today the concubine saw this Vermilion Bird robe and knew what it is, what is the frog at the bottom of the well, just the majesty of this Vermilion Bird robe, if it were not for the princess's love, the concubine would not be able to imagine it in her life." ”

Mu Qingling looked pleased, the embroidered handkerchief in her hand covered her mouth and smiled, and then said proudly: "What is this, I don't want to think about who is in Cining Palace." With the Queen Mother here, are you afraid that the prince and me will be missing? "The emperor's reward, Mu Qingling can't leak the bottom, just have the queen mother-in-law, just push everything on her!

Several ladies and ladies all suddenly realized, yes, they all said that there is no merit and no merit, this is not a year, no festival, no merit and no work, Your Majesty's fanfare reward, dare to love This is the Queen Mother supporting her youngest son and daughter-in-law. When others say that her son and daughter-in-law are not good, she makes people dare not say it!

Everyone thinks they have figured out the joints, and when they think about it, they all say that the youngest son, the eldest grandson, and the lifeblood of the old lady, even if they are as noble as the Queen Mother! This eldest son is rich all over the world, what is it for the younger son to make some money, how can he live without money, where is the queen mother willing to let the younger son live tightly, can't you protect it!

Thinking of the King and his wife leaning against such a mountain, everyone became more and more eager, and they were glad that they had hugged Princess Xiaoyao's thigh early.

When I think of those people who are a step late, the filial piety of Princess Xiaoyao here is not daring to be less, but it is difficult to say how many benefits can be, there is no way, I don't seek merit but I want no fault, I am afraid of being put in small shoes, these people who have been on Princess Xiaoyao's boat early can't help but rejoice!

In this way, they were busy, and the days flew by, and soon after, a notice was posted that the bidding meeting for the sea trade permit would be officially held in ten days, and the venue was in the school field of the governor's yamen.

This news has completely stirred up the spring water in Tianjin, and the relevant people are waiting for the day to come!
