Chapter 167: The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce
It's an amazing feeling to buy your own stuff yourself.
The most wonderful thing is not to use your own money.
Whether it was the emperor who sent someone to keep an eye on him before, or the secret guard sent later, it was all because he was afraid that he was not under his control.
Although Tianling had expected it, he didn't expect the emperor's suspicion to come so early.
Since this is already the case, Tianling had no choice but to advance his original plan, and take advantage of this time to sweep the tail of Xiao Tiancha and go north, and play a play to insert Ji Wenzheng into the source of supply to the capital.
In this way, he directly grabbed all the sweet tea lifelines in Pingjing City into his hands unconsciously.
And all this in the eyes of the emperor, it will be Tianling for the sake of business, go north alone, after many dangers and difficulties, finally found the milk powder that can be both guaranteed and easy to transport from the local merchant Bagen, although the price is more expensive than fresh milk, but these money is still within the range of Xiaotian Tea. But this is a complete solution to the worries about the supply of raw materials for sweet tea!
Tianling sat in the carriage back to Pingjing City, looking at the backward scenery outside the carriage, his heart was clear, all this was just the beginning.
————
Recently, the emperor went through the account books sent to the palace by the Heavenly Spirit, and he always felt that something was wrong.
The total monthly profit on the books is rising, but at the same time, the monthly cost expenditure is also rising.
Although the amount of silver deposited into the treasury every month was much higher than at the beginning, the emperor found that all the businesses were making less money in a single transaction.
The emperor turned over the details of the account book and checked it, and the whereabouts of each cost were clearly written, and what was bought, how much was bought, and where was bought was clearly recorded in the account book, and there was no problem at all.
The emperor thought about it, and privately sent someone to buy some things from the shop written in the account book, and then checked with the names in the account book, but found that it was not bad at all, probably because of the large quantity, and the price of some things in the account book was lower than the price that the emperor asked him to buy.
There is no fraud in the books, and it seems that the cost is indeed high.
The emperor put his mind at ease, Tianling is so smart and capable, and he can be so loyal, it is really rare, the emperor thought about it, and asked Gonggong Hai to pick a few good things to send to Tianling, saying that it was to comfort the third prince of Xuanping Houfu for taking care of King Pingxi, and he was specially rewarded.
Tianling raised the corners of his mouth, of course the emperor couldn't find out the problem, because every business in all the account books was true, and even more, the shops that supplied raw materials in the account books couldn't find anything to do with Tianling, they were all dealers in Tianling's hands, so even if the emperor went to check, he couldn't find anything at all.
He and the emperor didn't trust anyone behind their backs, but on the face, one was a meritocracy and no suspicion, and the other was a subordinate who was dedicated to serving him, and he was very beautiful.
With the heavenly spirit filling the treasury for the emperor, the emperor has money in his pocket, and some things in the court are more open, and the mess that the first emperor threw to him also made him gradually clean up.
Ten years later, Pingjing City was politically harmonious, all industries were prosperous, and it became more and more prosperous.
As long as people are not lazy, they can find something else to earn some money to subsidize their families.
All kinds of business travelers come and go in an endless stream, Wenxing and martial arts, and there are literati who say:
"Build a golden city with ten thousand pheasants, and Zhou Chi becomes an abyss. Cover the wide road of three and set up twelve gates. Inside, the street Qudong is reached, Lu Yan and thousands, the nine cities are opened, and the goods are not divided. You can't take care of it, the car can't spin, the city of Khotan overflows, and the side stream is hundred. The red dust is four, and the smoke and clouds are connected. So he is rich and rich, and the entertainment is boundless. All women are very different. The traveler intends to be a prince, and the column is extravagant to Ji Jiang. The heroic move of the folk song, the hero of the ranger, the festival Mu Yuan, taste, the name Yachun, the mausoleum. Even the multitude, the galloping in it. ”
And in this speech, the wide road of three and the twelve gates are the post in the hands of the heavenly spirit.
In ten years, Tianling funded the construction of a lot of roads, the post post built a mature freight system, in addition, Tianling also made a four seas chamber of commerce, all kinds of merchants can not only enjoy the convenience of the post cargo, businessmen and businessmen can also exchange resources, expand business.
It stands to reason that Tianling, as the president of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, has countless resources in his hands, if he wants to do any business, no one can stop him, but Tianling did not do that, he never interfered in the business that others have done, and has always only done business that others can't do.
Because of this, the merchants of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce have special respect for the Heavenly Spirit.
However, in fact, the eight giant material merchants in the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce who have contracted the post warehouse all year round are all people of Tianling, of course, these things that even the emperor does not know, it is even more impossible for others to know.
Tian Ling closed the book, and he could also take the exam in this year's imperial examination.
A few days ago, he asked his former classmate, Su Liang, the son of Yin of the Beijing Mansion, to help him ask for a document to move his hometown, and moved his place from Pingjing City to distant Danzhou.
Su Liang didn't understand why Tianling wanted to go to Danzhou for the exam, Tianling only said that because he had to go there to take care of business, if he didn't talk about his hometown and moved to Danzhou, I was afraid that he would miss this year's imperial examination.
Over the years, Su Liang has had a close relationship with Tianling, and he also knows a little about Tianling's situation, so when Tianling said this, he only sighed a pity, but such a person is a concubine, and he has to handle these mundane things while studying.
Tianling smiled and explained to Su Liang, the scholars of the Great Wei Dynasty are not allowed to do business, if they are successful this time, they naturally don't have to deal with these mundane things anymore.
Su Liang thought about it, it was indeed this reason, and happily went to move the documents for Tianling Zhang Luo's hometown.
After Su Liang finished the paperwork, he could leave for Danzhou.
Tianling stood up, the name Jiang Qingliu has now resounded in Pingjing, but this is just a reputation in the business field, and when he has a fame, he can use the name Jiang Qingliu to ascend to the palace!
And the reason why he moved his hometown from Pingjing to Danzhou to participate in the township test was of course not to take care of the business as Su Liang said, but because Danzhou is far away from Pingjing, and there are not many local students who refer to it every year, so the identity verification is not so strict.
More importantly, you can avoid the release of the list after the reference in the capital.
Five years ago, Lord Song said to Tianling that the Pingjing urban and rural trial list will attract everyone to spread the word and not to mention, and there are also those who help to report the good news.
In the past few years, Tianling has also witnessed the excitement of the release of the list in the capital and the enthusiasm of people for the scholars.
If Tianling is in the Jingcheng Township Examination, the news of the examination will definitely be known by the emperor, so Tianling is estimated to stop at the Township Examination.
Tianling didn't dare to take this risk, so he went directly to Danzhou to participate in the township examination, so that he could at least survive to participate in the examination.
And in the past five years, Tianling has solved problems for the emperor from time to time, such as how to avoid favoritism by the examiners? Just paste out the name of the person who answered the question on the test paper, and wait until all the test papers are finished and then uncover to ensure fairness.
Another example is that it is too bad to let the candidates strip naked for the physical examination when they enter the examination, and there are many candidates who are dissatisfied with this, if there are those extremely shy scholars, they will be distorted by such a physical examination. What to do? It's simple.,The biggest between men and women is in addition to the lower body and the upper body.,If you want to verify the gender.,Just let people pat the candidate's chest.,It's not at all possible to make people strip naked for inspection.。
In the previous imperial examination, the emperor made two small changes to the previous imperial examination, issued a vague name system, and the physical examination also took a step back, and adopted a more gentle chest patting, which was unanimously approved by the civil and military officials, especially the change of the entrance examination, which was enthusiastically supported by the majority of scholars.
So the emperor immediately decided that these two small changes would be used in the subsequent imperial examinations.
The heavenly spirit, who seemed to have nothing to do with these things, quietly cleaned up the trouble of trying to enter the venue.
The palace test of the Great Wei Dynasty is that the emperor announced the winner of the meeting examination in the Jinluan Palace, and then personally named the champion, the list eye and the flower, and these three people, the emperor did not point to whoever was pleasing to the eye, but in the top three selected by the examiner in the examination, who was the first and who was the second, in fact, the so-called palace test, that is, to make a pomp for the top three.
As for the emperor's reaction when he saw the Heavenly Spirit on the Golden Palace, the Heavenly Spirit had no time to think about it, so what about him!
As long as the emperor is not so stupid as to ignore the country's social affairs, he will not tear himself out of the Golden Palace and cut it down, and this
So as long as you pass the exam, everything is a foregone conclusion.
And for the exam, Tianling has never been worried, not to mention that he has accumulated knowledge in the twenty-first century, after coming to this world, Tianling has never slackened his study **** library and then to the mountain academy, Tianling is hungry and thirsty to absorb the bits and pieces of this world, and the hard reading in the eyes of others is a very interesting thing for him.
Even Wang Xiping often whispered in his ear, why don't you use it as a cheating artifact, you have to study hard to prepare for the exam, and if you have a shortcut, you don't take it, why bother.
The heavenly spirit only smiled and said nothing, and the joy of seeking knowledge is impossible for robots to understand.
Moreover, Tianling never intended to rely on Wang Xiping too much, not because of distrust, but because Tianling felt that the results obtained through his own ability made him feel more down-to-earth.
Shortcuts can be taken, but while taking shortcuts, you must also match your ability to the results obtained by taking shortcuts, so that even if the final thing is exposed, you can justify yourself and be able to bear the consequences.
Now, all you have to do is wait for the imperial examination to end.
Su Liang's paperwork for Tianling to move the household registration went smoothly, and after Tianling got it, he decided to go into the palace and tell the emperor about going to Danzhou. The reason is that Tianling has already thought about it, and there is an abnormality in the business in Danzhou, and he needs to go and check it.
In the past ten years, Tianling has used such reasons to apply to the emperor to leave Beijing from time to time, and the emperor has also changed from suspicion at the beginning to accustomedness later.
And it's generally hard for people to be suspicious of things that they take for granted.
After Tianling carefully put away the paperwork for the relocation of the household registration, it was only then that people called the coachman who couldn't speak.
As Tianling's business grows bigger and bigger, there are more and more account books, and Tianling has not been able to move them all to the car at once, but these account books are extremely secret, and they can't be faked by others, so Tianling can only run back and forth several times, after the emperor knew about it, he pointed to the coachman and said to Tianling, "Say you're smart, why can't you steal this laziness?" You don't worry about others, he is what I pointed out to you, and he is dumb, and he doesn't dare to call him? ”
Since then, when the Heavenly Spirit enters the palace, he will ask the coachman who does not speak to help, but now, even with the help of the coachman, the Heavenly Spirit still goes back and forth several times before putting all the account books into the carriage.
"Let's go." Tian Ling wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the coachman.
After entering the palace, Tianling routinely went to the side hall of Tianqian Hall to wait for the summons, I hope everything goes well, Tianling thought secretly in his heart.
As a result, things did not fulfill people's wishes, and the heavenly spirit waited for a long time in the side hall of the Tianqian Hall and did not wait for the emperor's summons. In addition, even Gonggong Hai, who is usually in the Tianqian Palace, is nowhere to be seen.
Tianling felt a little strange, so he grabbed a small chamberlain who came to add tea and asked softly, "Your Majesty is meeting the minister?" ”
The little chamberlain shook his head, "Your Majesty did not receive the minister. ”
Tianling wanted to ask something more, but the little chamberlain bent down slightly and retreated directly.
What's going on? Heavenly Spirit frowned slightly. The time for him to routinely enter the palace was set by the emperor, so it was usually the emperor who set up time to wait for the heavenly spirit to enter the palace, and I think there has never been such a situation today.
didn't meet the minister, that is, what happened in the palace? But don't be a bad thing, Tianling said silently in his heart, otherwise his departure from Beijing will probably be delayed.
It's no wonder that Tianling thinks so, because Tianling's application to leave Beijing when the emperor is in a bad mood has never been accepted.
If something goes wrong here, it will really be ruined in one of ten years, and when the day is worried, Grandpa Hai came in with a happy face.
"Tianling, you came just in time, go and ask Your Majesty for money."
"Huh? Is there a happy event in the palace? Tianling was stunned.
"Great joy! Cheng Niangniang is happy. Father-in-law Hai said with a smile, "Cheng Niangniang was negligent, she didn't come to Kwai Shui a few months ago and didn't pay attention, she knew that it was not normal to react today, so she invited the doctor to come and found that it had been four months." ”
Cheng Niangniang? Tianling went through the harem girls in his mind, and he didn't know that he could be pregnant for four months, I'm afraid the only one who likes to dance with knives and guns.
"Your Majesty can still have an heir now, and I am very happy, I just came back from Cheng Niangniang's palace, so I asked for a reward." Gonggong Hai smiled and said, "I forgot you in this side hall." ”
Tian Ling thought about the emperor's age, and it was no wonder that he was happy to be like this.
However, it is good to have a happy event.
Tianling's eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile, "Your Majesty is strong and strong, congratulations!" ”
"Your Majesty is probably not in the mood to read these account books today, you, go and say a few auspicious words, ask for a happy money, and be happy." The sea is fair.
Dip, must dip!
So when the emperor summoned Tianling, one didn't have the heart to report to work, the other didn't have the heart to listen, and the two reached an agreement in great harmony.
