Chapter 626: The First Silk in the World

Three months after Concubine Shu's letter arrived in Liangzhou, King Liang, who was far away in Liangzhou, ordered someone to pull four carts full of silver back. After this silver, there were also two carriages loaded with Liangzhou cotton cloth and silk cloth.

Dai Liang, who escorted these things back to Beijing, still held a thick letter from King Liang to the emperor in his hand.

All these years, the treasury was empty, and the emperor was always anxious. Now King Liang ordered someone to send back 100,000 taels of silver, although the amount is not much, but it can fill the hole in a certain place.

Therefore, the emperor smiled and praised King Liang for being sensible and obedient and considerate of his father.

As for the cotton cloth and silk cloth sent by King Liang, of course, he immediately ordered the embroidery girls of Yuxiu Fang to cut them out, and cut out a dress for the concubines, princesses, and princesses in the palace.

In addition, the emperor read the letter written by King Liang, and he also praised King Liang Yitong in the court.

It turned out that in this thick letter, King Liang carefully wrote down the process of how he and Princess Liang ran Liangzhou over the years. Even the details of the annual transactions, as well as the flow of people in the exchange, the daily profits, and the living conditions of the people were all written in 1510, so that the emperor could see it clearly at a glance.

Hehe, didn't Concubine Shu let them show their loyalty and prevent the emperor from thinking that King Liang was planning to support troops in Liangzhou for self-respect? Well, they will show all their old bottoms to the emperor, and the emperor can always rest assured, right?

Presumably, when Concubine Shu saw this letter, her face was even more beautiful.

But no matter what the concubine in the deep palace thinks, the emperor is very happy anyway.

Therefore, he not only praised King Liang fiercely at the court meeting, but even when he met his courtiers in the imperial study, he did not forget to wear clothes made of cloth sent back by King Liang.

The king of a country took the lead, and the concubines in the harem naturally followed.

So, starting from the imperial palace and then spreading to the entire capital, everyone was proud to be able to wear clothes made of cloth from Liangzhou.

For a time, the cotton cloth and satin in Liangzhou were very popular, and the price rose again and again.

More merchants learned the news and naturally rushed to Liangzhou.

And before the merchants arrived, the emperor's reward had already arrived. In addition to the rewards of various valuables, the emperor also made the little prince and the princess of the county, except for the prince of Liang, the prince and the lord of the county.

In King Liang's letter, he naturally also wrote about Chunzhi's contributions. Therefore, the three-year-old Chen Yatou and Xi Boy also each won the titles of county lord and marquis.

In addition to this, the emperor also handwrote two plaques. One of them reads 'the first cotton in the world', and the other says 'the first silk in the world', which is the official characterization of Liangzhou's cotton cloth and silk cloth.

However, although the cotton cloth in Liangzhou is good, the quality of the silk cloth is really not top-notch. However, now that this title was given by the emperor, who can refute it?

Therefore, after this incident, these two names spread at once, and the names of Liangzhou City and even King Liang and the princess of the Northern Kingdom also quickly spread to all parts of the country.

King Liang got these two plaques, and the blue on his face finally faded.

"I decided! The plaque of the world's first cotton was hung at the gate of the old trading house, and the future cotton trade was placed here. As for the first silk in the world, it will be hung in the new trading institute, and it will specialize in the cold silk business from there. He proudly announced to Chunzhi and Princess Liang, "With these two things, I think any of them dare to look down on us!" ”

Princess Liang also had a light smile on her face.

"One hundred thousand taels of silver, in exchange for these two plaques...... Well, considering the long-term development, I admit it. However, I must use these two plaques to death, and I must earn back all the money I spent! ”

Haruzhi also bowed his head. "At least after this wave of operations, we are not at a loss. Especially the people of Liangzhou, they are very happy to see these two plaques! In exchange for the support of the people, this is also good. ”

King Liang and Princess Liang nodded one after another.

However, even if they got the emperor's plaque, they didn't plan to raise the price. After all, their business has just started, and now they want small profits but quick turnover.

Therefore, after hanging the plaque of the world's first silk, the new exchange reopened with the crackling sound of a large string of firecrackers.

It was also from that moment that more and more people settled here, and there were countless merchants who came to buy goods. In the next six months, the flow of people in Liangzhou City climbed to a higher peak. By the end of the year, the silver money that King Liang sent back to the capital had more than doubled.

It's just that they are already so proactive, but I didn't expect Concubine Shu to be satisfied.

Just a few years ago, Concubine Shu sent another letter to King Liang.

When King Liang saw it, he smashed the room directly!

At that time, Chunzhi happened to be in the Liang Palace, and she was discussing with Princess Liang and Chunya about repairing Liangzhou City.

After all, now, the people's homes produce silk all year round. If you buy silk and satin, you can exchange it for money, so you will have a lot more money on hand. When you have money, the corresponding demand in all aspects will naturally increase. But in terms of eating, drinking, and having fun, there is still too much lacking in Liangzhou City.

Also, now there are more and more merchants who come to buy goods. Some people came late, and as soon as they arrived in Liangzhou, it entered the harsh winter, so they simply didn't leave and stayed in Liangzhou for the New Year. In this way, the problem of accommodation and food has become a top priority.

It's not that Chunzhi said that the inn and food in Liangzhou are too rough, and many outsiders can't get used to it.

Not to mention the various thefts and robberies caused by the increasing affluence of people and the frequent exchange of merchants with large amounts of cash. This is an urgent need to address it urgently.

Therefore, from the end of last year to the end of this year, they have hardly rested for a moment. I'm so busy every day that my feet don't touch the ground, and I can't wait to use one person for three people.

It's just at this time that Concubine Shu actually came to make trouble!

Seeing that King Liang opened the letter, after reading it, he walked into the inner room with a gloomy face. Then, there was a crackling sound from inside, and Harueda and the others began to be frightened.

"What's wrong with him, Lord Wang?" Chunya's face turned pale, and she hurriedly whispered.

Princess Liang had already picked up the letter that King Liang threw on the table and looked at it, and then she also sank her face.

"The mother concubine is indeed too much!" She scolded under her breath.

Chunzhi hurriedly took the letter and read it, and she couldn't help but chuckle all of a sudden. "Did Concubine Shu think too much of us? We can't really do this to ask her youngest son for the title of king. ”

"Isn't it? Giving the prince the title of king, that's the father's business, how can we control it? Princess Liang sneered, "What's more, the little royal brother is just three years old, don't ordinary princes wait until they are eleven or twelve years old to become kings?" What's she anxious about? At the beginning, the two little royal sisters were crowned princesses as soon as they were born, and it was because their father was happy and they were two daughters, so they were more pampered by them. However, this is not the reason why the mother concubine has to make inches! ”

In fact, Princess Liang's words have been tactful enough. The words of Concubine Shu in this letter are really taken for granted, and they are commanding. It was as if asking for a throne for her youngest son was something they could do at their fingertips. Moreover, she also has a great posture that if King Liang can't do it, she will make trouble!

I think that at the beginning, the throne of King Liang was won by the crown prince! He was crowned king at the age of fourteen, and didn't Concubine Shu always say nothing?

As a result, now, she has been replaced by the little prince, she is so attentive, and she unceremoniously squeezes the eldest son. This distinction is also skipped by the obvious point. Don't say that King Liang will be angry, even Chunzhi, an outsider, will be angry when she sees this letter!

"I can't promise her about this." Haruzhi said in a deep voice.

"Of course not!" Princess Liang immediately shook her head, "Don't say that we really don't have the ability to do this, even if we have, we can't do this!" Otherwise, now it's just to let the little royal brother be crowned king, so in two years, will she let us think of helping the little imperial brother to the crown prince? ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Chunzhi's face immediately changed, and she hurriedly glanced at Princess Liang.

Princess Liang sneered.

"What am I afraid of? In this life, the prince has not loved his mother since he was a child, and there are two brothers who have been bullying him, and he really suffered before he was twenty years old. It's easy now that we have come to Liangzhou, the days are slowly getting better, and his mood is much calmer. The mother saw that there was a benefit to be taken, so she came over again to mix blindly. We endured it at the beginning of the year, but now she is clearly testing our bottom line. If we continue to tolerate it, she will definitely go too far! There's no way I'm going to give her that chance again. ”

"Then just ignore her." Chunzhi immediately said, "She must have secretly asked someone to send this letter." She has always been innocent and innocent in front of the emperor, how could she let the emperor know her little thoughts? Therefore, if we ignore it, she doesn't dare to scream loudly, but she just quietly makes another stumbling block for us. Even ......"

She winked at Princess Liang again. "If you're ruthless, you might be able to restrain her with your backhand!"
