Chapter 199: Yin and Wealth (I)
Chapter 199 Jiangyin's financial veins
went around in the palace for a long time, although he also relied on the lovely Rongtai to get a lot of rewards from the emperor and the concubines of the palace, but after all, because of the four princes' choice of concubines, they couldn't help but think a lot.
He Changan felt that she had become stupid when she was pregnant and confined, and all she thought about during that time was what was good for the child in her womb, how could there be such intrigues between various families that made her upset? Now that she has just come out of confinement, she really feels a headache when she encounters such a thing.
When he returned to the palace, the sky was already dark, Xiao Rongtai followed his father and mother around the palace, and at this time he was already tired and fell asleep in the arms of Xiao Wei Mama, He Changan had the intention to keep her in the main room for a while, but he couldn't bear to see his daughter sleeping unsteadily, so he asked Xiao Wei Mama to take her to the ear room to sleep.
At this time, there was a little snow on the horizon, but there was no wind, and it was not cold, and the crystal snowflakes floated in front of people's eyes, and I only felt that the Heshi Bi, which was always worth โกโก, was beautiful.
Lu Cheng helped He Changan tie the big coat he was wearing tightly, and then held her hand tightly in his hand, and lowered his head and asked the forehead of the person around him: "It's been a long time since I've been holding your hand and walking with you in the courtyard like this for a while, it's just the two of us." โ
He Changan was taken aback by Lu Cheng's sudden kiss, and then smiled: "No, didn't you often take my hand and walk in the yard before I gave birth?"
Lu Cheng smiled narrowly: "But it's not the two of us, don't you still have Rongtai in your belly?"
He Changan gave him a blank look, and he was just him, Rongtai was his daughter, and he could be jealous, if she gave birth to a son, wouldn't it be to stage a "vinegar flooding Qin Wangfu"?
"Fourth Brother ......"
"Today's ......"
The two of them spoke at the same time, and Lu Cheng smiled: "You speak first." โ
He Changan nodded: "The fourth brother's approach today is really too bold and reckless, although I have always felt that my father is a benevolent monarch, but the fourth brother is too reckless to challenge his father's imperial power like this." Isn't he afraid of self-defeating, in order to give our He family a face, his father really married his fourth sister to him?"
The two of them, holding hands, walked side by side from the gate of the main courtyard to the small garden at the back, Lu Cheng seemed to be thinking about something, and only spoke after a long time: "Actually, you may still not know your father so well, although your father is deep and majestic, but for us princes and princesses, it is already unprecedented indulgence." โ
He Changan blinked, he didn't understand why Lu Cheng said this, did the emperor still connive at him? If he connived, his position as the crown prince would not be deposed at all.
Lu Cheng knew that she didn't know anything when he saw her, and laughed three times and said, "Do you know? Well...... It can't be considered a threat, it can only be said that it was a deal. โ
He told He Changan how he and the emperor used their military exploits as a quid pro quo to get He Changan to marry, and at the end, he also made a conclusion: "The fourth brother still doesn't understand enough, in fact, the father's heart is very soft, but the fourth brother doesn't even have the same exchange conditions for making a move, how can the father be as he wishes? In fact, the older the father is now, the more his mentality is like rejuvenation, and he wants to be coaxed." โ
As he was talking, he heard a low sobbing sound beside him, only to realize that He Changan didn't know when he started to cry, he was startled, and quickly wiped away her tears with the back of his hand: "Why are you still crying? โ
He Changan stopped crying at this time, in fact, she was just moved to tears, thinking that Lu Cheng was born and died in Gili Fort and made such a military exploit, but he didn't want anything else, just to use his military exploits as a bargaining chip to marry her, and he almost didn't even want his life on the battlefield where the sword had no eyes.
He is so good, how can she be virtuous?
Lu Cheng also understood why He Changan was crying in his heart: "Don't worry, it is said that the men of our Lu family are all lovers, and I have been bound to you all my life, in my eyes, there is no one, anything, or anything that can surpass your value, even if it is Rongtai." โ
He Changan leaned on him and nodded, and then found that the two of them slowly walked back to the door of the main courtyard like that, Lu Cheng stepped into the courtyard door first, and casually untied the big bamboo shoot at the door of the house and handed it to the purple bamboo shoots, and then watched He Changan walk into the house, and then helped her untie the big one with his own hands: "Tired, I'll let the kitchen make some soup you love to eat and send it over." โ
I heard the woman in my arms say "um": "That...... What should I do about the fourth brother's affairs? Although it is already February, it is when it is warm and cold, and the father and emperor have reduced the fourth brother's charcoal consumption so much, and the fourth brother must not be sick in the prince's office?"
Lu Cheng haha: "Although my father reduced the fourth brother's charcoal, he didn't issue an order not to let people help him." Now the income in our house is not only my prince's money, isn't it just that idea of charcoal, can't I, as an elder brother, afford to give it away?"
In the summer of the previous year, because He Changan had just become pregnant, Lu Cheng himself felt that the money in his hand was not enough, and he was afraid that he would be wronged by the child after the child was born, so he discussed with He Changan to find something to expand his livelihood.
In Daxuan, the prince himself is not allowed to do business, but the prince can raise countless people to do business, and there are also granges and the like, but Lu Cheng does not plan to make money on the shops and granges that He Chang'an married, just because those are He Changan's dowry, he is unwilling to use a penny.
As soon as Lu Cheng's idea was mentioned, He Changan remembered the Jiangyin historian, Shi Qi had been married to the Xu family for a few years, and his eldest aunt Shi He had never entered Beijing, but he had been in correspondence with Gongchangbo's mansion, so He Changan also knew something faintly.
Although Shi Qi's grandparents are still alive, but after the Chinese New Year of 19 years, the old man of the Shi family had a stroke, and now although he can know people and his mind is not confused, he is unable to move after all, and he can no longer run business as before. The Shi family was divided, Shi Qi's eldest uncle was born a man with business talents, and before the old man returned to the imperial court, he had a lot of transactions in his hands, and after he was made a marquis, those transactions were thriving under the care of the long house.
But Shi Qi's father is a spoiled young son, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as not learning and not knowing. So the second room of the long house made an agreement in front of the parents, the long house of the family industry takes the lion's share, but the premise is that it must be properly managed, although the second room is not much, but there is no need to operate it yourself, the long house only needs to give the third component of the annual income to the second room, which is enough to live, if the family industry in the hands of the long house has no profit but loses money, then the second room can also take the note to ask the head of the Shi family to be the master, and re-divide the industry with the long house.
But the second child of the Shi family has been complaining about the eldest aunt, thinking that the eldest aunt's maiden family can't say anything, although the daughter born is married to the son of the princess, but she does not have a title, otherwise at least she can share half of the profit every year when the family is divided.
He Changan has always despised this uncle's style, but after all, there are some things that she can't change, Shi Qi has a good relationship with her, and she also has the heart to change the environment of her aunt at home.
However, He Changan mentioned it to Lu Cheng at that time, because she was pregnant and easy to forget, and the matter of the eldest princess and the second princess had overwhelmed her, and she had mentioned the matter of the Shi family but forgot about it.
"Huh, when did our family become so rich?" He Changan took the account book of the outer study brought in by Zi Bamboo Shoots, and only glanced at the total, his eyes were full of disbelief.
She has always felt that Lu Cheng's family background is just the things left by Queen Herui and his prince Yulu, but these two things, the former is a dead thing, the income is not big, and it will only sit and eat, and the latter is a drop in the bucket for the expenses of the palace, so when she entered the palace today, she received everyone's rewards, and carefully calculated how much it was worth in her heart
Cocoa ...... But the total number in this ledger was too much, more than five times the estimate in her heart
Lu Cheng put on a look of "beg me, I'll tell you where this money came from", He Changan looked angry and funny, but he still took advantage of his wish to send it to his arms and said, "Okay...... Just tell me."
It turned out that He Changan just mentioned this matter, but Lu Cheng really listened to it, and secretly sent someone to inquire about the situation of the Jiangyin Marquis Mansion, and found that the Shi family was really more suitable for his own operation than He Changan said. He sent someone to write a letter to the son of the Shi family, only saying that he was optimistic about the silk business in Jiangyin, and wanted to introduce the Chengjin of Jiangyin real estate into the major silk Zhuangzi in the imperial capital, and select the best products among them to be sent to the palace as tribute.
What a shrewd person is the son of the Shi family? Chengjin has a good texture, and his reputation is not big just because there has been no way, if he can get the blue eyes of King Qin, he can even become a tribute, even if it is just a little, this door will be opened, as long as the dignitaries and nobles of the imperial capital find out that Chengjin is good, do they still have to worry that there is no market?
Chengjin is sold, and the next thing is Chengxiu, and there are countless other interests.
It's just that Lu Cheng also has his own conditions, he doesn't have full authority to invest in the Shi family, but only into the business of the Shi family Chengjin, and only into two percent, when the annual dividends are divided, he only needs one into five, and the other half into one, as his private flowers for his father-in-law and Gong Changbo's mansion on behalf of his aunt.
Such conditions are simply not doing business
