Volume 1 The Lady of Heaven Chapter 012 The Old Man Is Rich
Although Jiang Baoshan has no official position, he has not entered the palace many times, and the reason is ...... Naturally, it is because he has a daughter of a noble concubine who is favored by the harem.
Some rules don't become rules.
However, in the past, Jiang Guifei missed her father, so Emperor Yongning found a reason to proclaim Jiang Baoshan into the palace, and the father and daughter got together.
Did Jiang Baoshan take the initiative to enter the palace to face the saint?
Emperor Yongning thought about it and found that he didn't have this impression, so what reason did Jiang Baoshan have to enter the palace now?
At this time, Jiang Baoshan had already knelt in the hall to say goodbye: "The grass people have seen the emperor, may the emperor be blessed and safe, long live, long live, long live!" ”
"No need to be polite, get up quickly, give me a seat!" Emperor Yongning said with a smile and motioned for the chamberlain to move the brocade stool.
Jiang Baoshan pretended to excuse himself, and then sat down.
He is very tall, coupled with his majestic appearance, even if he sits on a brocade bench, he also has the air of a golden iron horse, and he looks like a military general who guards one side.
Who would have thought that he was a businessman?
One of the three imperial merchants of the Dade Dynasty, the richest man in Yongning, is the Jiang family, which is the Jiang family headed by Jiang Baoshan.
Every time Emperor Yongning saw Jiang Baoshan, he couldn't help but wonder a little: a businessman should be kind in order to be able to collect wealth from all directions, how can a person with a bad face like Jiang Baoshan do business?
However, it was in his hands that the Jiang family was thriving, and it became the head of the three imperial merchants from the original bottom.
People who can do such things should not be underestimated at any time!
Emperor Yongning's face became more and more gentle, and he looked at Jiang Baoshan with a smile, his attitude was trusting and close.
Jiang Baoshan looked up at Emperor Yongning, and showed a hint of gratitude at the right time, but he was actually not very happy.
If it was among the people, it should be Emperor Yongning who asked him for peace, however, Emperor Yongning was the Son of Heaven.
They only talk about monarchs and ministers, where will there be a son-in-law?
He always remembered that the person in front of him was the emperor, not his son-in-law.
Even if this person now holds Zhao'er in the palm of his hand, he doesn't dare to take it lightly.
Supreme honor and unparalleled grace, this is given by the emperor, you can't want it, you can't really want it.
As a businessman, Jiang Baoshan knows a truth too well: what others give can be taken back at any time.
What's more, the one who gives it is still the emperor?
Fortunately, Zhao'er has always understood this, and she has handled it very well over the years, and she can even let his granddaughter go out of the palace to open a mansion.
Only when you leave the palace and open the palace can you have freedom, can you really accumulate strength, and you can gradually have your own things.
These are truly their own, and others can't easily take them away!
After thinking about it carefully, Jiang Baoshan and his daughter Jiang Zhao decided on this trick was about to be realized, which made him relax a lot.
In addition, his old wife has been sick recently, and he is busy taking care of the sick, so he has no more energy to pay attention to the situation in the palace.
Suddenly, he received a request from his daughter to let him enter the palace, which startled him.
It turned out that there was an accident with the princess at the palace banquet, and in order to ensure that his granddaughter could leave the palace and open the palace as scheduled, he had to enter the palace to face the saint.
When Jiang Baoshan was waiting for the palace to reply, he thought about what to say repeatedly, so he said: "Your Majesty, the grass people entered the palace this time because they had the courage to ask the emperor for a favor. ”
Emperor Yongning didn't expect Jiang Baoshan to be so direct, and asked with a smile: "Oh? Let's hear about it. ”
"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the princess is about to leave the palace to open the mansion, the grass people want to come and go, and there is nothing to celebrate for His Royal Highness, but there is a small amount of money in the family, so I am willing to provide the Changding Princess Mansion with three years of expenses, no limit, please allow the emperor."
Emperor Yongning understood that Jiang Baoshan was sending money to his granddaughter.
Three years of expenses required, no binding amount, what a big breath!
However, how much can a princess's mansion cost? With the Jiang family's financial resources, they can naturally make a promise.
Although the treasury is not surplus now, Emperor Yongning is not unable to support a mere princess mansion, Jiang Baoshan said this, which is really a bit of a slap in the face of Emperor Yongning.
Sure enough!
Emperor Yongning was not angry, he still looked at Jiang Baoshan with a smile, and said, "In addition, what else?" ”
He knew that Jiang Baoshan loved Jiang Guifei's little daughter the most, even if he really wanted to support Princess Changding's mansion, it would be the same to give money in private, why did he go into the palace to say such a thing?
"Well, I really can't hide it from the emperor...... Jiang Baoshan laughed, and then said: "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the princess has golden branches and jade leaves, and the emperor will protect His Royal Highness thoroughly, but the grass people have only one daughter and only one granddaughter...... I'm worried about everything. ”
So?
The smile on Emperor Yongning's lips deepened, and he motioned for Jiang Baoshan to continue.
"Your Majesty, for the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the grass people implore...... I implore the emperor to equip the princess's mansion with two rates, one should be the cost, and the emperor doesn't have to bother. ”
Emperor Yongning's smile disappeared suddenly, he stared at Jiang Baoshan, and said slowly: "Jiang Baoshan, what did you say?" ”
Two rates is 4,000 soldiers, and now the East Palace is only equipped with ten rates, and a Changding princess's mansion dares to ask for two rates?
And I don't have to bother with the cost of the two rates, the implication is that the Jiang family will bear it.
Puff dares to treat the Son of Heaven, Jiang Baoshan, what a boldness!
How dare he? Just by virtue of my love for Jiang Guifei? Hehe.
Jiang Baoshan immediately stood up, knelt in the hall, and hurriedly said, "The emperor is angry!" It's the grass people who are falling! The grass people are thinking, they are thinking...... After Her Royal Highness the princess leaves the house, I implore Her Royal Highness the princess to enter the Huitong Hall, and there is no need to worry about the cost. ”
He knelt and lowered his head, and Emperor Yongning could only see the top of his head, and he couldn't see anything.
In fact, Emperor Yongning's heart was beating sharply at the moment, even Jiang Baoshan was showing his face on his back, and he couldn't tell his true mood.
Emperor Yongning was silent for a moment, and then said to Jiang Baoshan: "Get up." You say, let Xiao Jiu enter the Huitong Hall? ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, please allow your Majesty!" Jiang Baoshan stood up as he said, and when he sat down, he glanced at the ground.
I shouldn't have to kneel for the third time today......
Emperor Yongning also looked at Jiang Baoshan, never mislooked, and asked: "Huitong Hall is so important, Xiao Jiu is only fifteen years old, what ability can he enter Huitong Hall?" ”
Huitongtang is the core of the Jiang family, and it has always been the Jiang family that can be in charge, and now the person in charge of Huitongtang is Jiang Baoshan.
I heard that there is also a Huitong order, which can order all the businesses of the Jiang family, can also gather all the money of the Jiang family, and can also ask the rest of the imperial merchants to help.
Emperor Yongning had sent people to inquire many times, but no one had seen the rumored Huitong Order.
Most of the orders are fake, but they exist.
The people who have entered Huitongtang are either the future heads of the Jiang family, such as Jiang Baoshan's eldest son Jiang Hui, or the subordinates of the Jiang family, such as Sang Yinghe, the treasurer of the Jiang family's golden emblem......
These people are all people with business talent and outstanding skills, how could Jiang Baoshan let Xiao Jiu enter Huitong Hall?
