Chapter 124 Uninvited

Trade?

It's nothing, which lady doesn't have a few shops in her hands to make fat powder money.

It's just that although Lord Li raised the social status of Confucian merchants, most of them were still at the bottom of the social hierarchy. Business, or speech business, in the eyes of those noble ladies of the family, is a matter of great shame and status.

Now in front of everyone, Princess Qi has brought up the matter of wanting to buy shares, what is her purpose?

Want to earn pocket money with private money?

Impossible, Wang Qifang herself denied this possibility.

If it is the wife of an ordinary official eunuch, in order to supplement the family, she may get a few small shops to add some income to the family.

But Princess Qi is different, she is the mistress of Qidi, and one-third of Qidi's taxes and salt and iron have fallen into the waist of King Qi, even if she is not rich and rivals, she will never lack silver.

What's more, there are a group of Confucian businessmen such as Zheng Sanyang, who willingly use their own money to help King Qi take care of business.

With so many ways to make money, will Princess Qi still think about her Wang Qifang's business?

“…… Princess Qi is not a simple woman, whatever she says, you don't even agree, it's best to push it off tactfully"

Just when she didn't know how to decide, Li Jingtian's words flashed in her mind before leaving.

Hmm, Li Jingtian has traveled extensively and has a lot of knowledge, so he must have dealt with Princess Qi, right?

Thinking of this, Wang Qifang smiled shyly, and said embarrassedly, "Niangniang is willing to take out her body and buy shares, which is a great trust for Qi Niang." It's just that Qi Niang left Beijing this time to take care of the food and clothing paid by the Zhao family, and she has no plans to do business. ”

"Huh?"

The smile on Princess Qi's face did not decrease, but her eyes were already a little more aggressive, and she was obviously not satisfied with Wang Qifang's answer.

"Niangniang, Qi Niang knows that you are from a prestigious family, you are generous, and you are even more tolerant and generous, if you can partner with a noble person like you to do business, it is really a blessing for Qi Niang. However, Qi Niang is in Qingzhou, and a new business has not been developed, how can you become a shareholder? ”

"Oh? Then how did I hear that you were in the grain business the other day? ”

Princess Qi elegantly picked up the teacup, took two sips gently, and asked lightly.

"Back to Niangniang, the grain business is owned by Qi Niang's uncle Li Chang and Uncle Li San, not Qi Niang's." Wang Qifang lowered her eyelids, a flash of clarity flashed in her eyes, she understood, the two of them seemed to be very greedy, not only wanted her treasure box, but also wanted her food, hum, dreaming

In order to block Princess Qi, Wang Qifang said all the reasons she could think of, "...... Originally, Qi Niang saw that there was a market for the grain in Qidi, so she thought about opening a few grain stores to try. It's a pity that Qi Niang has no time, and it is about to enter autumn, if you don't go to Liaodong, Qi Niang's food and clothing will be delayed for another year; Second, my uncle and his subordinates opened a few more shops, and if I were running a grain store, I would steal business with my uncle. Hehe, Qi Niang doesn't dare to do such unfilial things"

is not filial, but it is a big hat, and no one can find fault with it.

Sure enough, hearing Wang Qifang's words about this, Princess Qi paused, and then as if she thought of something, she asked, "What about other businesses?" Mrs. Wang, this princess has heard that the famous 'Qingzhou triangular cloth' was created by you. ”

Why, the robbery of my food was unsuccessful, and the idea of beating me up again printed colored cotton cloth?

Wang Qifang gradually understood the wishful thinking of King Qi and his family.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess that if the king of Qi wants to rebel, silver, grain, grass and weapons cannot be missing.

And if you want to get these, in addition to getting the treasure of the Li Emperor's Mausoleum, you also need other preparations.

After all, the treasure is too empty, and the father and son of King Qi have been preparing for so many years, it is impossible to say that they will wait for a day if they can't find the treasure.

If there is no treasure, then you can only make more money in reality, such as increasing taxes in Qidi, such as 'cooperating' with Confucian merchants to do business, such as digging iron ore, silver ore and salt mines without permission......

After several years of practical experience of King Qi, he found that among all the open source methods, only cooperating with Confucian merchants is the cheapest, and more importantly, this method is reasonable and legal.

After all, he is doing a major rebellion, and the slightest carelessness will lead to the disaster of annihilation, and he must not leak the bottom in the details.

Private mining, although the money comes quickly, but the risk is too great, in case it is discovered by some imperial history of Qi and reported to the imperial court, his preparation for more than ten years will be broken.

Therefore, it is better to do business quietly, and it is not only a risk to get money quickly.

It's just that the Confucian merchants in Qi are almost being exploited by the two kings of Qi, except for those few Confucian merchants who can't move, the other Confucian merchants basically can't squeeze any oil and water.

Coincidentally, at this juncture of green and yellow, Wang Qifang suddenly appeared in Qidi, and also started a grain business with great fanfare.

According to the eyeliner report, this Wang Qifang tossed nearly 10,000 stones of grain in just half a month, and earned thousands of taels of silver in one positive and one negative, which is simply a talent.

turned her hands into clouds and covered her hands into rain, not only solved the defeat of her relatives, but also frustrated Zheng Sanyang, the head snake who had been entrenched in Qi for more than 20 years, how could such a shrewd woman not be drawn into her camp.

Next, the news that made King Qi even more excited came out one after another: the Fu Treasure Box he had in mind was with Wang Qifang, and the Qingzhou triangular cloth that made him blush was tossed out by Wang Qifang......

Hearing these news, King Qi was overjoyed, such a person appeared in Qi when he needed it most, isn't it God's will, hehe, God is also on his side.

With the heart of solicitation, the rest is action.

After some discussion between the two, Princess Qi put forward a suggestion, and she came forward to take advantage of her fortieth birthday to win over Wang Qifang. At the same time, the King of Qi also sent secret guards to wait for an opportunity to seize the treasure box.

It's a pity that the plan can't keep up with the changes.

Wang Qifang just didn't let go, which made Princess Qi a little annoyed.

I didn't care about my identity, and asked a little aggressively.

"Back to Niangniang, Qingzhou Sanleng Cloth is indeed Qi Niang's business, but this plantation was donated to the imperial court by Qi Niang a few months ago. Now the workshops in Qingzhou have long been dispersed, and the workers have left, even if Qi Niang wants to do the business of triangular cloth, this has no raw materials, and there are no workers, so it can't be done at all. ”

Wang Qifang replied lightly, she knew very well in her heart that the Qi Wangfu had already gotten the news from the Qian family about her donation of the plantation. Now that Princess Qi deliberately proposed it, it was nothing more than that she was a little unable to get off the stage because of her repeated refusals.

Thinking of this, Wang Qifang didn't want to offend people, and said euphemistically, "But don't worry, Qi Niang is a Confucian businessman, and she will definitely develop new business. At that time, if Qi Niang is short of silver and asks Niang Niang here, Niang Niang should not refuse."

"Overseas trade?" The haze in Princess Qi's eyes dissipated slightly, especially when she heard Wang Qifang's last sentence, the corners of her mouth began to show an upward arc, and she said, "Hehe, you Wang Qi Niang, the business has not yet appeared, and you have begun to attract investment." Don't worry, as long as you have a good project, I will definitely support it."

"Then Qi Niang thanked Niangniang in advance"

Wang Qifang saw that Princess Qi finally smiled, knowing that her level had passed dangerously, she hurriedly stood up, and Ying Ying knelt on the ground and thanked her.

In the following time, Princess Qi didn't know whether it was intentional or really busy, so she directly left Wang Qifang in the corner and ignored it, but greeted other distinguished guests with a smile on her face.

was left out in the cold and no one cared about it, Wang Qifang didn't care, but hid in the corner with great interest, eating the food specially prepared by the Qi Palace, and chatting with Li Jingniang in a whisper.

It was easy to stay up until the banquet ended, and it was already late for Wang Qifang to walk out of the Qi Palace. Looking at the dark sky, Li Jingniang warmly invited Wang Qifang to the Lu family's Zhuangzi in Jeju.

After resting on Zhuangzi for a night, early the next morning, Wang Qifang was worried about the child, and was worried that King Qi would take advantage of his absence to sneak attack Peach Blossom Island, so he ignored Li Jingniang's retention, got up and rushed back to Qingzhou.

"How? Was there any movement last night? ”

After Wang Qifang returned to Peach Blossom Island, she first went to see the two small buns practicing walking in the garden, and then went to see the little girl who followed Grandma Sun to learn needlework.

"Well, King Qi's secret guard does have two hits"

Li Jingtian carried a dart wearing red silk in his hand, rubbed it for a long time, and nodded, "The kung fu is good, and the ability to detect is not weak." If you hadn't sent the children to the East Cross Courtyard in advance, the children would have been disturbed by them. ”

"They touched my yard?" Wang Qifang paused, and then asked suspiciously, "No, I just came out of the yard, and I didn't find anything abnormal, and there wasn't even a footprint on the floor."

"That's why I said that they had two hits" Li Jingtian didn't raise his head, and said coldly, "They are here to look for things, and they are not here to rob, messing up your house and making you suspicious, isn't it a startling snake?" ”

Li Jingtian had been standing on the roof last night, and he had seen the actions of those secret guards clearly, and when he saw that the secret guards were acting neatly and cautiously, he really admired King Qi in his heart - it seems that people are very serious about preparing for rebellion.

"Hey, no matter how powerful he is, he's just a thief," Wang Qifang was very disapproving, if she hadn't notified the little boy in advance and temporarily removed the barrier in the sea, not to mention a few secret guards, even if the King of Qi sent his royal guards, he might not be able to reach Peach Blossom Island safely, "Now that I know the intention of the King of Qi, the next thing will be easy to do." Hey, Li Jingtian, hurry up and get ready, don't delay the time, I'll give the two brothers and sisters Xiaoxin a first birthday banquet, and I'm going to Liaodong, don't hold me back."

"Look at what you said, when did I hold you back......"

While the two of them were talking, Zi Yuan walked over with a strange face, holding a letter in his hand, and said, "Madam, there is a letter from the Zhao family in the capital, saying that Zhao Tianqing will arrive in Qingzhou next month, and let us send someone to the dock to pick up people when the time comes."

"What? Zhao Tianqing is coming? ”
