Chu Tianchen's obituary came out of the palace early in the morning, and the court dropped out of the court for three days, and the Ministry of Rites handled the prince's funeral.

The departure of the eldest prince did not cause any movement, whether it was the court or the people, he was too strange to him, he had been missing for more than ten years, and he had not shown up when he came back this time, and now he died suddenly, and he didn't feel anything.

The saddest thing is just a few familiar people, Chu Xuanyan, Chu Chengcheng, the emperor, Chu Yechen and Yang Qiaoyue.

Chu Yechen didn't go into the mourning hall for three days, Yang Qiaoyue knew that he was blaming himself, if they didn't go to the border city, maybe Chu Tianchen and Chu Xuanyan would have been living happily in Yuguan Town, although they would be poorer, at least they wouldn't end up dying early.

Old Prince An didn't know how to comfort him, to put it simply, it was Yuguan Town that he wanted to go to at the beginning, and it was he who caused Chu Tianchen to enter Beijing and failed to protect it.

Chu Xuanyan was sad in his heart, and he was the only one left from now on, but he remembered his father's parting advice, and from today onwards, he should be like a man, and men will not flick when they have tears.

Yang Qiaoyue walked up to him and saw a resolute look on his immature face, "Do you blame us?" ”

Chu Xuanyan came back to his senses and shook his head, "It's not Sister Yang's fault, why blame you?" ”

"If we don't go to Yuguan Town, maybe none of this will happen." Yang Qiaoyue whispered that she didn't know if what she was doing was right.

Chu Xuanyan raised his head and looked at Yang Qiaoyue with clear eyes, "Daddy told me that he is very grateful to Sister Yang in his heart for letting him return to Jingshi, he has escaped for sixteen years, and now he can return to Jingshi again and save Grandpa Huang, there is no regret." There may be no accident if you stay in Yuguan Town, but Jingshi will become Daddy's eternal regret. ”

Yang Qiaoyue looked at his serious expression, this kid can't lie, she nodded slightly, with a worried expression: "Maybe tell your Uncle Wang about this, he can be a little more relaxed." ”

"Sister Yang, don't worry." Chu Xuanyan comforted her instead, she should have comforted this child.

Chu Xuanyan said that he had gone to Chu Yechen's side, Chu Yechen was sorry for this child, cared about his situation, comforted him not to be too sad, and looked for him if he had anything in the future.

Chu Xuanyan nodded lightly, and inadvertently told Chu Yechen what he had just said to Yang Qiaoyue.

Chu Yechen was stunned, this child is too sensible, sensible and distressing, the grief of losing his father will not dissipate in a few days, even so, this child still cares about comforting him.

The next person sent a snack, Chu Yechen finally ate some, the self-blame in his heart has not weakened, but he has also learned to accept it, what he wants to do is to take care of the bloodline left by his eldest brother.

Yang Qiaoyue saw that his eyes were refreshed and walked to his side, "I didn't expect that we all let a child be cured." ”

"Yes, Xiao Yan is a sensible child, and you have been worried about it these days." Chu Yechen said in a low voice.

"It's good that you're okay, there's more to do at this time." Yang Qiaoyue didn't care, she could fully understand this emotion.

When it came to other things, Chu Yechen put away his lost emotions, and he really didn't have time to let him be lost.

After several months of silver and two taels, the treasury has only reached more than 2 million taels, and the effectiveness of these measures has slowed down.

When Chu Tianchen is buried, he needs to find a new way to fill the treasury.

"How is the situation with the emperor? I have been preparing my third sister-in-law, worried that the death of the eldest prince will make the emperor's health worse. Yang Qiaoyue asked worriedly.

"I told Grandpa Gao to follow the emperor at all times, if there is any problem, he will come over as soon as possible, there is no obstacle for the time being, grief is inevitable, but time will always smooth everything."

Yang Qiaoyue bowed slightly, Emperor Xuande can't have any accidents at this time, no matter how bad he is, he is also the emperor of Great Chu.

The ceremony of the Grand Prince lasted for seven days, and on the eighth day he was buried in a separate tomb.

Chu Xuanyan inherited the prince of Changping as the new king of Changping, and also became the youngest prince of the Great Chu royal family.

The matter finally came to an end, the court resumed discussions, and those officials who were suppressed by the prince in the past jumped out to criticize and write, and no one dared to say anything in the former at the time of the court, but now everyone is shouting and beating on the street.

In this regard, Emperor Xuande continued to send Ye Jinwei to search and arrest the whole country, like looking for a needle in a haystack, with little success.

On the other hand, Chu Yechen was drawing up a new plan to fill the treasury and planned to ask Yang Qiaoyue's opinion.

Yang Qiaoyue was at home at home and Guan Qiu to settle accounts, now the shop in Yuxue Nanzhuang has resumed opening, the income and expenditure of the first half of the Jingshi and this loss are the same, and the income of Danzhou's account in the first half of the year is 10,000 taels, all of which are used to purchase grain and grass. Yanxian and Suzhou have much less income than Danzhou, the former is less than 3,000 taels, and the latter is almost more than 9,000 taels, and these revenues are also collected according to her instructions.

"The first half of the year was mainly an accident on the part of Jingshi some time ago, and more than a dozen shops and goods caused losses of tens of thousands of taels, otherwise the combined revenue was still good." Guan Qiu saw that Yang Qiaoyue's face was flat, and he hurriedly explained.

Yang Qiaoyue came back to her senses, "Everyone has worked hard, the accounts are fine, let the four major treasurers allocate 10% of the profits in the first half of the year to reward everyone, and go back to form accounts and send them back to Jingshi." ”

"It's a big girl!"

The two were chatting, and someone outside the door came to report the visit of the butcher's family.

Yang Qiaoyue was a little surprised, how could Tu Tao have time to come over, "Bring Tu Dangjia over." ”

After a while, the subordinate brought Tu Tao to the main hall, and Yang Qiaoyue said with a smile, "Tu Dangjia hasn't seen you for a long time, how can you have time to think about it?" ”

"Although Miss Yang is wealthy, isn't she scheduled to come over today to send accounts and dividends, and it has been a long time since the ceramic business."

Yang Qiaoyue thought about it, there was such a thing, "Look at me, I almost forgot about this, and your family came to say it before." ”

"Yes, the big girl has a convenient time now?"

"Convenient."

Tu Tao handed the accounts of the ceramic factory for nearly half a year to Yang Qiaoyue for her to see, the ceramic factory was originally in order to deal with Jia and Qi, Yuxue Nanzhuang and Sanjie Bafang partnered, Yang Qiaoyue accounted for forty percent.

The ceramic business is basically monopolized by them, and the profits are considerable, with a revenue of 30,000 taels in just half a year.

Tu Tao saw that Yang Qiaoyue's face was unresponsive, and asked worriedly, "Does the eldest girl think there is anything wrong with this account?" ”

"No, I'm also surprised to be able to seize the market so quickly, but the Jia family wouldn't have become the richest man with this share at the beginning."

Tu Tao mistakenly thought that Yang Qiaoyue suspected him of making fake accounts and embezzling them privately, so he hurriedly explained: "Big girl, this is not Tu Mou's fake, after the Jia family is gone, there are many small production kilns in the place to divide some markets, and we can't do a full monopoly." ”

"Tu Dongjia misunderstood what I meant, since I believe you, I naturally don't suspect fake accounts or anything. What I just meant was that most of the Jia family's profits were actually more profitable through maritime trade, and it was estimated that there would be a surplus of 10,000 taels in one trip, not counting the profits from bringing goods to Dachu. ”

Tu Tao was stunned, and after a while, he understood what Yang Qiaoyue meant, "This kind of profit is naturally considerable, but at the beginning, the Jia family was able to get the maritime business because of the presence of the prince, and now the imperial court has tightened the maritime trade, I am afraid it will be ......." ”

He said that he stopped, and then thought that the princess could not have the backstage of Miss Yang, the eldest girl's Yuxue Nanzhuang was given by the emperor, and it had a great relationship with the king of Nanping.

"What does the big girl mean is that the maritime trade can now be developed? If it can, the Tu family will definitely do its best to develop. ”

Yang Qiaoyue didn't explain much, she still needed to ask Chu Yechen what she meant about this matter, so she said, "You go back and prepare first, and wait for my news." ”

"Good! Waiting for the good news of the big girl. Tu Tao has recently fallen into a bottleneck, especially in the ceramics business, and now the way out for the maritime merchants coincides with him.

He left the more than 10,000 taels he brought, and then left.

Yang Qiaoyue looked at the two boxes of silver taels, the smile on her face was thick, and she didn't notice that Chu Yechen had just left after Tu Tao left.

Chu Yechen came to the main hall and saw her lying on the silver and laughing so happily, so he didn't interrupt her.

Guan Qiu noticed that he was coming, and was about to call Yang Qiaoyue, but Chu Yechen shook his head and signaled not to make a sound.

Chu Yechen almost forgot, if you want to say what Yang Qiaoyue hates, everyone may not know, if you want to say that you like it, it must be silver.

"How much silver? Let me be happy too. ”

"More than 10,000 taels ......." Yang Qiaoyue subconsciously responded.

Listening to the familiar voice, he got up from the silver, and when he saw that it was Chu Yechen, he glared at Guan Qiu, "Why didn't you call me when the prince came." ”

"I asked her to keep her silent, it's rare to see you happy, and I don't want to interrupt." Chu Yechen said with a smile.

Yang Qiaoyue snorted lightly at the tip of her nose, "The prince said that I am cheesy, miser." ”

"Ahem...... I didn't mean that, I just saw you smiling happily, so I ....... Chu Yechen hurriedly explained.

"An explanation is a cover-up." Yang Qiaoyue shook her long hair, "The world has worked hard all their lives, but a few taels of broken silver, this broken silver can solve ninety percent of the world's worries, and one percent is not enough silver." You say I don't like silver, but I still like you! ”

Chu Yechen was anxious: "You don't like me?" ”

Yang Qiaoyue was stunned, the point she said was not this, okay...... Guan Qiu is still there, she can't just say that she likes it, she is also a woman in the boudoir, and she also has to be reserved, okay, there is no talk.

"Fool!" Yang Qiaoyue scolded angrily, "Let's get down to business, come and find me something." ”

Chu Yechen was still haunted by what happened just now, thinking about how much silver he had, his thoughts were interrupted by her words, and he told her that he needed a new way to fill the treasury.

Yang Qiaoyue heard him say a few things, which were basically related to taxation, and agreed to these methods, but they couldn't really increase the treasury.

Chu Yechen asked her if she had any good ideas.

Yang Qiaoyue followed his words and talked about the proposal to open up the maritime port trade, similar to the ceramic craft of Da Chu is very popular overseas, selling the specialties of Da Chu when you go, and shipping back to the local specialties when you return, and the trade between them can create greater taxes.

Chu Yechen's face was happy: "Good way!" This king didn't expect it at all. ”

"Routes like Ryukyu, Siam, Persia, etc., can form trade routes." Yang Qiaoyue stood on the shoulders of the giant, knowing that this must be feasible, "The problem now is that the laws of the imperial court are tightened, and the maritime business is a trouble. ”

Chu Yechen rubbed her frowning brow, "Leave this matter to me, everything needs to be based on the premise of filling the treasury at the moment, and neither the cabinet nor the emperor should object." ”

Yang Qiaoyue nodded, "Okay, you can use Hejian Port and Suzhou Port as pilots, and I can integrate the Tu family and try this line together." ”

Chu Yechen's face was soft, he didn't expect Yang Qiaoyue to have thought of such a detail, and he must have thought about it a lot.

Chu Yechen thought of what he had just said, and was full of confidence: "You said that you don't like me fake, otherwise you wouldn't think about me like this." ”

Yang Qiao was stunned, thinking that he was going to say something thankful, but he didn't expect this party to pass yet, and couldn't help but shake his head: "It's good to like you!" Hurry up and get busy, and you'll be up and running when you get the news. ”
