445 Epic Conspiracy
"Second, once the price of madder grass is high, not only the people of Hubei and Yi will compete to plant and pick it, but I am afraid that the people of all countries in the world will do the same. At that time, our Nanlin Society will have the support of the royal treasury, and I am afraid that we will not be able to purchase and hoard so much madder, which will be secondary. What matters most is that if this blow is shared by the whole world, it will not have the effect of destroying the economy of Hubei at all. What should I do?"
Rong Yi smiled faintly: "A few apprentices, only you, a female disciple, are thoughtful and thoughtful, and this joint is also the most worrying part of the teacher."
"Master," Yi Gong had already entered the cabin at this time, and said with a smile, "Actually, Senior Sister has already had a way to deal with it, but she is just whetting our appetite!"
"I've guessed it." Rong Yi smiled calmly, "It must be that your orchid madder has been successfully planted, right?"
Wu Kui took out a brocade bag from his arms, slowly untied the tether, and with a flick of his fingers, he gently took out a plant with faint red leaves and stems, and presented it to Rong Yi with both hands. Rong Yi gently raised the tip of his nose and sniffed, only to feel a smell of orchid fragrance coming to his nose, and said in surprise: "This madder really has the aroma of orchid grass, which makes people smell intoxicated!"
"This is the result of several old horticulturists in the Orchid Valley, who have crossed the stamen of the orchid grass with the male plant of the madder grass after two or three generations. There are only a dozen or so plants at the moment, and it will take some time to get their seeds."
"The world is big, and the creation is magical, so we can see it now!" Rong Yi closed his eyes and thought, "This orchid madder is worth a thousand gold! Then it will be easy to do." He raised his eyes and looked directly at Yi Gong: "Have all Qi Kun arrived?"
Yi Gong arched his hand: "Princess Bo Ji has no problem over there, you can transport as many Qi as you need to this city treasury. And the apprentice has been operating here for many days, and the price of madder here has tripled, and most of it has been put into our company's warehouse."
"Ordinary madder is just the base, the key is this orchid madder." Rong Yi weighed the strange grass in his hand very fondly: "This, Wu Kui has to control it."
"Master, don't worry." Wu Kui nodded, and the veil on the curtain couldn't help shaking: "Once this thing becomes famous, there will inevitably be countless people who go to Langu to ask for it. At that time, the disciples will only choose the merchants and the people to sell to them."
"No, no, no." Rong Yi shook his head: "Where do the common people have spare money to buy this? It must be the first lord, who has a lot of money, so he will come to Langu to buy it, and then take it back and send it back to his slaves and clansmen to plant, in order to make heavy profits. Do you understand?"
Wu Kui thought for a while, and suddenly realized, "The master is saying...... I understand, the most precious thing in Hubei is that Huaiqing."
"By the way," Yi Gong smiled, "that person looks like a gentleman, but in fact he is a greedy villain, how can he let go of such an opportunity to make a fortune?" Let's wait and see, with the help of this son, the Hubei people will not think about Nongsang, the Yi people will put down their hunting knives and bows and arrows, and my Great Zhou will die without a fight!"
"This is a sophistry, not the right way to destroy the country." Rong Yi Zhengse said: "If it weren't for the defeat of Wang Shi Da Qingze, it would be difficult to gather strength for a while, and I would not have made this decision. Remember, it is in man that he plans things, and it is in heaven that things are done. No matter what the success or failure of this matter is, it is all planned by me Rongyi and Nanlin Society, and it has nothing to do with the Son of Heaven. Can you remember?"
"Apprentices obey the master's instructions!" Wu Kui and Yi Gong responded in unison.
Since ten days, Shenhou has been very worried, and he has been thinking hard under the pondside forest all day long.
He never imagined that it would be so difficult to choose a concubine for his daughter's wedding. Speaking of which, more than 40 countries in Jianghan have the surname Ji, but it is not difficult to choose three or four women with the surname Ji who are not surnamed Ji, but it is difficult to insert a pole in the Chu State.
Since the early days of King Xianyi's accession to the throne, Chu Zixiong Qu was called the king, the Chu State and the Zhou royal family have completely torn their faces, and the Jianghan and Han countries are all Zhou feudal states, so naturally they can't give a good color to the bold and reckless Chu State.
But since the defeat of the Southern Expedition, the state of Chu recuperated and gradually recovered. Seeing that Chu was sitting big, the Jianghan kingdoms were also afraid that this neighbor who couldn't move away would look unpleasant to him one day, so they took a bite and showed favor to Chu one after another, but Chu was also disrespectful.
At that time, the easiest and most straightforward way to establish a strong relationship between vassal states was through marriage. Over the years, not only Luo Guo, who is also surnamed Mi, is also Quan Guo, who is surnamed Zi, and Deng Guo, who is surnamed Man, have all had marriages with Xiong Qu's father and son. Especially that Deng Guo, generations
The country where the queen accompanied her even sent her daughter to marry Chu. This...... What to do?
Zhou Chu is the enemy, and the daughter of the princes who have a marriage relationship with the Chu State, can the Son of Heaven want it? But there are only a few surnames in the non-Ji vassal states of the Jiang and Han countries, excluding countries that have a relationship with the Chu State by marriage, so only their own families are left. How good is that? After all, she is the concubine of the Son of Heaven, and she can't all be her own uncles and nieces, all of them surnamed Jiang, right?
Worried, sorrowful, just sighing, suddenly heard a call, a plump, fair-skinned woman walked leisurely from the shade of the tree, it was his wife Shen Fei.
"Husband, are you still worried about choosing a wife?" Shen Fei asked softly, while holding a jade bowl from the tray of the maid behind her: "This is a soup that soothes the liver and dissolves qi, and the husband has been worried too much recently. Didn't you say that the Son of Heaven had postponed his wedding until the early autumn of next year? It's been so long, where are you worried?"
Shenhou took the bowl and took a sip, and suddenly felt that the heating in his stomach was rising, but he was still worried: "In this way, what if you wait until early autumn? Is it possible for Quan Luo Deng and the other countries to cut off their in-laws with the Chu State, or can the three young daughters of the widow grow up in half a year?" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but be angry, and threw the jade bowl into the tray: "It's all your fault for being jealous, if the widow has one or two more concubines, why is it in trouble today? After all, you are a concubine, so narrow-minded, you don't have the bearing of everyone."
Shen Fei is not a concubine, which has always been the most concerned sore spot in her heart, and now she is reprimanded by her husband in front of the maid, and she can't help but have red circles in her eyes, tears in her eyes, and she can't bear to fall down.
When Shen Hou Fu was widowed, the seat of Mrs. Hou was vacant, and there were people vying for it. After careful selection, Mrs. Tai and Shenhou have finalized the concubine of Duke Chen, and they are all decided, and they are only ready to marry, but something goes wrong.
Chen Guoben is an ancient country. After King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang, he first sealed eight vassal states: Yan, Yin, Guan, Cai, Huo, Kang, Cao, and Chen. Among the eight princes, although Chen Guo ranked last, it was impressive.
Its peculiarity is that although the rank is the last, it shares the first-class duke with the princes of the royal family and leads a hundred miles of land; The second is that King Wu of Zhou married his eldest daughter Daji to Hu Gongman, and Chen Guo became a prince of foreign relatives and enjoyed the glory of the royal family.
