Chapter 376, East India Company
Concubine Wan smiled kindly and beckoned to Lin Xianyu, "Come on, come on, you play two games with them for me!" I'm so lucky today, they're all about to run out. ”
Lin Xianyu's face was embarrassed, "Where can I play sparrow cards?" ”
The concubine sneered and said: "The old sister just likes that you can't play, and she wants to lose the golden melon seeds to us!" ”
Concubine Fang smiled brightly, "Then dare to be kind, and filial piety, come quickly!" We can't wait! ”
Lin Xianyu couldn't refuse, so she had to catch the ducks on the shelves and play sparrow cards with these idle and boring concubines, Lin Xianyu was indeed not very good at playing, but if she came seriously, I was afraid that it would be difficult to lose.
After all, she has an eye for the sky, and she can see what the opponent's cards are at a glance.
It's just that Lin Xianyu didn't want to cheat, so she lost three in one go, and Concubine Xuan, Concubine Fang, and Concubine Gong each won one handful, and they were all so happy.
So everyone is happy, and today's sparrow cards can be regarded as the end of the game.
After sending off the three concubines, Lin Xianyu sighed, "Is this kind of thing interesting?" "—she doesn't understand the fun of mahjong tiles anyway.
Concubine Xuan smiled: "Anyway, being idle is idle." ”
Well, this is the retirement days of the concubines.
She has been a concubine of Xianning, she understands.
The concubine asked someone to put away the set of ivory sparrow cards on the table, and then took Lin Xian's fleshy little soft hand to the inner hall.
Concubine Xuan asked in a low voice: "I have heard that your good mother-in-law stuffed a pair of sister flowers on your forehead, but she was forced to go by King Qingjun!" ”
Lin Xianyu sweated, and she hurriedly said: "It's not that Brother Seventeen wants it, it is the Efu who took the initiative to give it to him." ”
Concubine Xuan is a little unconvinced, how can a man in this world not steal? What's more, he Xiao married Feng Shen Yinde and has indeed not been pregnant for many years, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Really?" ”
Lin Xianyu nodded, "Efu is not that kind of person." ”
Only then did the concubine be suspicious, "Hmph, Feng's old pious woman dares to block you!" Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that she no longer had a fate, I would have summoned her into the garden so that I could set rules for her! ”
In fact, according to ancient etiquette, there is nothing wrong with Feng doing this.
But the native-born concubine still did not hesitate to protect her, which made Lin Xianyu's heart warm, "E-niang, don't worry, I can still handle this little thing." ”
Concubine Xuan sighed: "Although you are a princess, Feng is your mother-in-law after all. If you make a mess with her too ugly, others will not say that she has nothing to do, but will only say that you are not filial. ”
Lin Xian smiled, "Anyway, the forehead is the same heart as me." ”
Seeing her daughter's sweet face, Concubine Xuan's heart fell back into her stomach, "If he can really treat you wholeheartedly, he will live up to your kindness in protecting the Niu Hulu family." ”
As she spoke, Concubine Xuan snorted coldly again: "It's a pity that there is such a white-eyed wolf mother who will take revenge!" ”
Concubine Xuan frowned, "I remember, this Feng family was also a dignified and gentle person before, why is it like this now?!" actually bought a thin horse, and wanted to give the forehead as a concubine! ”
Lin Xianyu is an extremely beautiful woman, and she is young, if she is ordinary, where can she win favor? If you want to find a beauty who is not inferior to Xinjue Luo Xianyu, you can either look at each other slowly in private, or you can only buy a thin horse beauty.
And these skinny horses, who have been starved and domesticated since childhood, have some problems with their bodies and bones, and where are they suitable for childbirth?
So this Feng family wants to hold his grandson second, and the first thing is to separate the husband and wife!
Lin Xianyu said quietly: "People's hearts are fickle. ”
Since He Shen fell to death, Feng also fell from the clouds, and Yinyu is not Feng Shen Yinde after all, and his filial piety to Feng is just a show.
It was probably when Yinyu bought another house for the Feng family and asked her to move out of the princess's mansion, and she became resentful at that time.
Of course, the Feng family will not resent his son, but will only resent Lin Xianyu, the princess, for not being filial.
A woman who has lost her husband will naturally care more about her son than before!
Such a surviving person is the most unable to see the love of his son and daughter-in-law.
At this moment, Yin Yu was in the emperor's Jiuzhou Qing Banquet Hall.
Emperor Jiaqing no longer has the imperial majesty of the past, but has a kind face, "It's all a family, don't be formal, sit down." ”
"Emperor Xie!" Yinyu got up from the ground at this time, and he didn't have any resentment about kneeling to his nephew. After all, Yongyan is already the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, even if Aixinjue Luo Yinyu is still alive, don't you have to kneel?
What's more, Yongyan has always been very polite to him, and this courtesy, when used on the old prince of the clan, has nothing to say.
Yin Yu sat upright on the chair beside him.
Emperor Jiaqing rubbed his eyebrows, looking a little tired, "Tianjue, I really envy you, you live such a peaceful and peaceful life." ”
Tianjue is the expression of Fengshen Yinde.
The emperor called his courtiers a table character, which meant corporal Lixian.
Yin Yu hurriedly said: "The emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, and he has all the opportunities, so it is naturally hard. ”
After greeting Emperor Jiaqing a few times, Yinyu told Emperor Jiaqing about the East India Company and the Thirteen Oceans.
Emperor Jiaqing really had a spirit, "I have also heard of this East India Company, although it is a businessman, but it has been licensed by the British King to operate in India, and later this business has been made to the Qing Dynasty." As he spoke, Emperor Jiaqing's words were faintly cold.
Yinyu was overjoyed, Qianlong had been closed to the country for many years, and he thought that he had to waste a lot of lips and tongues to be able to explain it clearly, but he didn't expect Emperor Jiaqing to know this East India Company so well.
Yin Yu hurriedly said: "Now, the people of the East India Company have contacted the minions and want to do business with the minions. It's just that the slave thinks that this matter is a big matter, so he came to ask the emperor. ”
Emperor Jiaqing smiled: "It's inconvenient for me to use you now, so I won't allow you to make a living and support your family." However, this East India Company is not an ordinary business, and it concerns other countries overseas, so I will arrange for the personnel of the Imperial Court and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to negotiate with you. ”
Yinyu deliberately entered the palace, and this is the picture! Where did the East India Company take a fancy to him, it was clearly a fancy to his identity as the emperor's brother-in-law!
The East India Company actually wanted to do business with the Great Qing Kingdom!
Yin Yu hurriedly got up and thanked him.
Emperor Jiaqing said with a straight face: "It is naturally possible to do business with the East India Company, but there is only one thing that is not allowed to enter the Qing Dynasty!" ”
Yin Yu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what the emperor is referring to?" ”
"Fleur!" Emperor Jiaqing said coldly, "The East India Company must promise not to sell Hibiscus in the Great Qing Dynasty!" As long as they can do that, I can increase the number of normal ports to ten, and depose the Anti-Razing Regulations. ”
Because of Emperor Qianlong's policy of closing the country to the outside world, as early as the 22nd year of Qianlong, Qianlong ordered the closure of other ports along the coast on the grounds that "the Celestial Empire was rich in products and had everything, and there was no need to communicate with foreign countries", leaving only one port in Guangzhou for foreign trade, and restricting the activities of foreigners in the Qing Dynasty with the "Anti-Invasion Regulations".
No one knew better than Yinyu how big the East India Company's business really was, and Fleur was only a small business of the East India Company, and the East India Company sold cotton, silk, indigo, sodium nitrate, tea, and munitions.
If the commercial port can be opened, it will not only be able to expand its business with the East India Company, but also do business with other foreigners.
Even if the vast majority of the profits here go to Yongyan, even if he only earns a fraction, it is enough for him and Xiaoyu to spend the rest of their lives!
"Got it!" Yin Yu arched his hand, although the East India Company was a British noble, but in the final analysis, it was just a group of profit-seeking businessmen, as long as it was profitable, how could they not agree?
