Volume 4 Chapter 334 The queen is short of money, and the son is filial.
Murong Wanqiu was actually very entangled.
She has a heart that longs for freedom, but she can't let go of her relatives, but if you want her to return to Dohe County to accept the arrangement of fate, she is unwilling.
Why?
In the end, after weighing the pros and cons and selfishness, she was ready to pit her father.
In fact, it can't be said to be a pit.
First, Murong Xiaojun's current situation is indeed not good.
She naturally knew something about the situation in Douhe County, and Murong Fuyun's various practices were full of three words: distrust.
It's nothing that an official the size of a sesame mung bean is not trusted, but what will happen to a powerful minister if he is not trusted by the king he assists?
Besides, it's not just Murong Xiaojun, but even Murong Fuyun's situation is not good.
Don't look at her can't touch the core of Daming, but she can deduce something from some subtle clues.
After all, Murong Wanqiu is really not just a vase with a pair of skins.
This girl has shown her intelligence from the beginning, and she is not an indecisive fellow, and she is quite decisive in her work.
When she realized that Li Chengqian might be plotting to Tuguhun, she knew that her father's future situation would not be too good.
After all, because of her, Murong Xiaojun was destined to suffer from this splint anger.
As for Li Chengqian's plot to Tuguhun, what is her attitude?
Hehe, she is the princess of Daming, what kind of attitude do you say she has?
Does this need to be asked?
Second, and most importantly, she needs help in Daming.
This help is naturally her father.
It's good to look at Chipelina, just because her brother is the secretary of the Ming Dynasty's military department, so he is more confident than others.
Therefore, since Tuyuhun will be plotted by her husband sooner or later, it is better to take this opportunity to pull her father down Li Chengqian's camp, which can not only save her relatives, but also add some help to herself, why not kill two birds with one stone?
As for whether Li Chengqian can take Tuyuhun, what are you kidding, Daming is not enough, and Datang is enough?
Nonsense, this kind of question should not be used in interrogative sentences!
Therefore, it is better to cheat sooner rather than later.
……
Sun Moon Mountain, Yuan's firm.
After receiving Li Chengqian's instructions, Li Qinjian and Puxiruo discussed it and came non-stop.
Although Pu Xiruo is the head of the household department, as far as the business is concerned, Pu Xiruo never interferes easily, and is generally handed over to Li Qinjian to deal with.
In this regard, Pouchie is very self-aware.
"Yo, isn't this Li Shilang, who also came to this Yuan's firm to cheer?" As soon as Li Qinjian entered the door of the Yuan Firm, there were familiar people who greeted him, "But this Yuan Firm doesn't sell many things, and it's far from our Ming Dynasty." ”
Nowadays, the Ming royal court is thriving, although this winter is also snowing heavily, but for the people of Daming, there is really no pressure.
Not to mention anything else, Changming Grain Shop will put dozens of stones of grain in front of the store every day, which is their confidence.
Ordinary people are like this, as long as they can live, then you are Mingjun, very simple and direct.
"This guy, you say that the things sold in other people's stores are not good, so why do you still jump into other people's stores?" Li Qinjian joked with a smile.
"Just take a look." The man smiled and said, "What is Li Shilang doing today?" ”
Li Qinjian can actually understand their thoughts, it's normal to watch the excitement.
After all, no matter what the Yuan family firm says, it also carries the name of the descendants of Emperor Wen, which makes many people willing to stop by one or two.
"His Royal Highness admires Emperor Xiaowen, no, I specially asked this official to come and see if he can do anything for the descendants of Emperor Wen." Li Qinjian said casually, "I think that at the beginning, Emperor Xiaowen was also a generation of Ming lords, and his descendants fell to this, and His Royal Highness couldn't bear it." ”
He hadn't forgotten Li Chengqian's instructions.
When everyone in the store heard Li Qinjian say this, they also nodded happily at the moment.
"Your Highness is still merciful...... everyone laughed.
At this moment, Yuan Ping heard the greeting of the guy and immediately walked out of the back hall, and said with a heroic smile: "Li Shilang can come to the small shop, which really makes the small shop flourish." ”
"The head man is polite." Li Qinjian arched his hand and said sincerely, "Your Highness heard that the Yuan Clan's first division has settled in Sun Moon Mountain, so he specially sent this official to take a look and see if the Yuan Clan's first department needs help?" ”
When Yuan Ping heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand in the direction of the palace and said, "Your Highness's benevolence is really a blessing for my generation, but the Yuan family firm has not been open for a long time, and no specific problems have been found yet. ”
Although he is the patriarch of the Yuan clan, it is the first time for him to do business, and he is also a little confused at the moment, and he has been away from the court for so many years, and the court is still a little strange to him, to put it bluntly, he lacks some experience.
And as soon as he spoke, Li Qinjian realized this problem, and even said: "This official sees that the Yuan's trading house sells green salt, so that all these green salts will be sold to my household, no matter how much, my household will all want it." ”
He actually didn't know why Li Chengqian wanted this green salt, but since Li Chengqian had an explanation, he just had to do it.
……
And when Li Qinjian entered the Yuan's firm, Li Chengqian was not idle, but found Aunt Zhang.
Since he wanted to buy the green salt of the Yuan Firm, he naturally would not trade at a loss.
Green salt is actually salt directly extracted from Qinghai Lake.
Located on this piece of land, it is really a god's favorite.
Li Chengqian also knew that there was no problem, but if these green salts could be made into refined salt, they would definitely be favored by more people.
So Li Chengqian immediately called Aunt Zhang over.
In the palace, Aunt Zhang is now a steward, and the wine-making workshop has always been watched by Aunt Zhang.
And now, Zhang Erniu and Fang Blacksmith have too many errands, Li Chengqian simply handed over the work of refining refined salt to Aunt Zhang, anyway, refining refined salt is not too complicated, and Aunt Zhang also has experience in refining alcohol, which is more suitable than Zhang Erniu.
"Your Highness, don't worry, I'll go back and try it." After listening to Li Chengqian's explanation, Aunt Zhang left immediately.
She is still very concerned about what Li Chengqian explained.
After Aunt Zhang left, Li Chengqian looked back at Chunhua and asked, "The queen mother's caravan is still in Taozhou?" ”
Chunhua was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly nodded and said: "No, they have already come to Sun Moon Mountain earlier, and they have also asked to see His Highness before, but at that time, His Highness was busy with political affairs, so he did not communicate with His Highness." ”
"Huh? Coming to Sun Moon Mountain? What business do they do now? "This Li Chengqian doesn't know.
The previous business was indeed not suitable for them to do, and it has been almost a year since this fooled people, and I don't know how people complain in their hearts.
Chunhua said: "It's not business, before coming, the queen mother explained, they all listened to His Royal Highness's arrangement this time, since His Royal Highness didn't explain, they naturally didn't dare to make decisions without permission." ”
Hearing Chunhua say this, Li Chengqian smiled.
Good guys, these guys are on paid vacation for a year?
However, it is also evident that bureaucracy is everywhere.
If this is the caravan of those merchants, dare to be idle for a year, and wait to drink the northwest wind in the next year.
"You go and inform, let the caravan steward enter the palace tomorrow, this king has business for them to do, and it has been out for more than half a year, and if it goes on like this, it is estimated that the queen mother will have to have an opinion." Li Chengqian said with a smile.
The previous business could not be entrusted to them.
It's not that they don't make money, on the contrary, they all make money, and they can make a lot of money.
But the problem is that the identity of the eldest grandson is not suitable for these businesses.
Those who know the eldest grandson know that she is a generation of virtuous queens, and she really can't do some business.
Li Chengqian's previous business, if you really want to say it, is that only the paper business is suitable for the eldest grandson.
But the problem is that the paper business offends people, and Li Chengqian knows too well who he relies on the most in Chang'an now, so it is impossible for him to let the eldest grandson fall into any disadvantageous situation.
But this refined salt business is different.
In the final analysis, refined salt is the people's livelihood, and in any case, refined salt is definitely better than all kinds of salt now.
If the business of refined salt is handed over to the eldest grandson, as long as Li Chengqian can ensure that the output of refined salt is continuously increased, it will naturally be a good thing for the eldest grandson.
The benefits of currying favor with the eldest grandson are also conducive to the stability of his position in Chang'an, which is also very important to Li Chengqian.
Don't look at what he said in the Taiji Hall at the beginning, this prince is not appropriate.
Yes, he can be inappropriate, but he doesn't want others to be the prince.
People are selfish, I can do without it, but others can't want it either, this is human nature.
Chunhua said: "The queen has never urged, I heard the people in the caravan say that for more than a year, the caravan has been supported by the queen's own money, speaking of which, the queen does not seem to have enough money." ”
"The queen mother is short on money?" Li Chengqian asked with some surprise.
And for Chunhua and the eldest grandson to have a connection, he is not surprised at all, the reason why the eldest grandson sent Chunhua to him in the first place, isn't it for this matter?
Everyone knows this.
And Li Chengqian also needs to have a bridge to communicate with his eldest grandson.
Although there is really no mother-son relationship between him and his eldest grandson, it doesn't mean that he doesn't need it.
If even the eldest grandson doesn't support him anymore, then Datang really has nothing to do with him.
There is no doubt about that.
Let's put it this way, as long as the eldest grandson lives longer than Li Er, then the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty will basically be a certainty, and no one will dare to make a mistake!
Chunhua nodded and said: "The queen mother is indeed quite embarrassed in hand, I heard that there are only more than 1,000 spare money in the inner money. His Royal Highness also knows that over the years, the Tang Dynasty has suffered disasters year after year, and the queen herself is a thrifty person, and the money saved has been subsidized by the court. ”
Hearing Chunhua say this, Li Chengqian said in his heart, I know a fart!
I hadn't crossed it in the early years!
Although there are memories of Li Chengqian, they are just memories after all.
"Isn't it smooth for Datang this year? Didn't the foreign dynasty return the subsidies that were given to the foreign dynasty in the past? Li Chengqian was a little curious.
Chunhua smiled when she heard this: "Your Highness said that it was funny, the idea of the outer court not to fight the internal government is thankful, the queen mother said a few years ago, it is a group of Pixiu, it is impossible to count on them."
But the queen doesn't care about it, the queen used to say that it was all for the Tang Dynasty, and there was no need to care about these. ”
This is also the reason why the eldest grandson can be called the queen of the ages.
In these things, the eldest grandson really has nothing to say, of course, the reason why she is called the queen of the ages is naturally not just because of these things.
These things are not enough to support her reputation as a virtuous queen through the ages.
Chunhua actually wanted to talk to Li Chengqian about this for a long time, after all, when it comes to making money, among the people she has seen, there is no one more powerful than Her Royal Highness.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Tao Zhugong is reincarnated, but for more than a year, Li Chengqian has been so busy that her feet do not touch the ground, and she has never mentioned this stubble.
From this point of view, it is actually not difficult to find that Chunhua and the others have also begun to slowly favor Li Chengqian's side.
However, as soon as Li Chengqian heard her say this, he immediately understood what he should do.
Please the eldest grandson!
Let the eldest grandson make money!
At this time, if you help the eldest grandson make a lot of money, it will definitely make the eldest grandson smile.
What if the eldest grandson is the queen?
Take the same money and smash it!
A thousand is not enough?
What about 10,000?
What about 100,000?
What about 100,000 a year?
Even if it's the eldest grandson, he has to be smashed.
As long as the eldest grandson is still there, then his position as the crown prince will be stable, even if it is Li Er, he has to weigh it.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian's heart was happy.
He really didn't expect that the queen of a dignified country would be so embarrassed financially, he said it earlier, he said it earlier, he said it directly, I would have honored you directly, not to say too much, he couldn't take it out if he was filial piety.
"You said that the New Year is coming soon, how about this king give her tens of thousands of yuan directly to the queen mother? It saves me the need to dig out my mind to prepare those rare treasures, and send tens of thousands of yuan, how real? Thinking of this, Li Chengqian asked.
When everyone heard him say this, their cheeks hurt.
That's true, but who has ever seen a direct delivery of money?
Especially the son who gives money to his parents?
There's no such thing, big brother!
"Isn't it too cheesy?" Yu Chi Baolin said, "Filial piety to the queen is not about the value, but about the heart." ”
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, before he said this, he thought that at least Yu Chi Baolin would agree with him, who knows, even Yu Chi Baolin said this, and immediately said: "What is not intentional, really!" You think, if this is to send tens of thousands of yuan in one go, what does the queen mother want to buy by herself, how good?
Besides, when you meet a prince or a palace maid and eunuch who looks pleasing to the eye, you can say casually, reward, how confident is that?
You're right? ”
Everyone was silent, what is this thing called......
Li Chengqian saw that he didn't speak, and now knew that his idea might be too nouveau riche, so he immediately forgave these ignorant people.
In the next life, if anyone directly gives me so much money, I can provide him up, who cares if he has a heart or not?
But he understands very well that Datang must be stable.
At least be stable in a series of policies towards him.
For example, Cheng Biting Jin has to sit in Hezhou, and Guo Xiaoke of Taozhou can't have an accident at this juncture.
When he deals with Tuyuhun at that time, he still needs these two to help him control the field.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian asked, "By the way, what has Niu Jinda been doing recently?" ”
"Uncle Niu didn't do anything." Yu Chi Baolin said, "Every day he invites us to drink in the Changming Restaurant, that, Uncle Niu spends money in the Changming Restaurant, and it is His Royal Highness's account ......."
Li Chengqian was stunned.
I'm grass, so shameless?
