Chapter 144: Five Years Later (End of Full Text)

Previous Chapter

Goldman Sachs went to see Daddy Gao that day.

When Father Gao heard the news, he scolded Gao Xuan and his wife angrily, and said with a trembling wave of his sleeves, "Boss, what do you want to do, just do it, I won't interfere in these things." ”

"I, the father, have no other skills, only guard this small shop, and can make a living, no matter what the outcome of your second brother ends up in the future, he is willing to come back, then I, the father, will also restrain him, if he is not willing to come back, it is also his own business, he grows up, and I can't care about it."

"You just have to do it with peace of mind, Dad supports you." This time, Daddy Gao was completely disappointed in Gao Xuan in his heart.

Goldman Sachs nodded, comforted Daddy Gao, and persuaded him to go back to the village to rest, Daddy Gao did not refuse this time, packed up the guys, and went back.

After Daddy Gao left, Goldman Sachs went to the owner of the shop and bought it.

He didn't say anything to complain about, and he didn't just wait for the prince to reply, taking advantage of this time, he counted the silver, and after discussing with Xiang Xi, he went to the county government to buy some land.

In this way, even if the Seventh Prince insists on organizing a chamber of commerce, he can take Xiaoxi back to the village to be the local owner, and now there is so much land, and there are tenants and farmers.

In addition, during this time, the workshop in the village led to ten miles and eight townships, and the reputation of the Gao family was very good, he became a landlord, and his life was as good as ever, and he could protect his family.

Xiang Xi didn't like to chase power, she preferred a stable life, and she agreed without hesitation when she heard Goldman Sachs' suggestion.

When the third brother is admitted to Xiucai, the family will be directly exempted from servitude in the future, and they will be exempted from taxes, and if they do some small business at home, they will be able to live a very good life, and they don't need to be involved in those people and things in the capital at all.

Therefore.

The two of them arranged their own arrangements, opened the shop of the shop, and cultivated the land of the land, without the slightest anxiety, and lived their own small life.

The Seventh Prince found Lin Xianling on this day and asked, "What have you been doing recently?" ”

Lin Xianling snapped his fingers and said, "They seem to be farming in the village, and they are planting beets, peppers, and rice this year, and they are so busy that their feet don't touch the ground." ”

"They are not in a hurry for the king's reply?" The Seventh Prince raised his eyebrows.

Lin Xian Ling said with a smile, "Lord Wang, your thoughts, the lower officials don't dare to guess, let alone them, in fact, the lower officials cooperate with them, because they know that the temperament of the Goldman Sachs couple is different from other businessmen, they have never thought of bullying anyone to make money, on the contrary, they even support common prosperity, and even said that the court is strong, businessmen have the foundation for life, and the people have a good life." ”

"Interesting."

The Seventh Prince asked, "What is a sugar beet?" ”

"I heard Mrs. Gao say that it is a kind of food similar to radish, but the taste is sweet, it must be delicious to cook in a pot, I think you have also tried the taste of the pot in the shop before, and there are a lot of side dishes needed in it, presumably because of this, Mrs. Gao will grow so many beets in the ground."

"The king knows." The Seventh Prince did not continue to ask about it.

He only opened his mouth and said, "You go and ask Goldman Sachs and Mrs. Gao to come over." ”

"Yes, lord."

Lin County Ling didn't ask about anything, and directly called someone to pass on the news.

This way.

When Goldman Sachs was found, he was in the field with Xiang Xi.

This year is a bumper harvest year in the village, and when many villagers see that the chili peppers are being sold, they come to the Gao family to buy seeds.

When the two heard the news, they didn't hesitate much, and immediately packed up and drove the carriage to the town.

It's still early to get to town.

The two went straight to the second house where the Seventh Prince was located, which was already an extremely good house in the town, perhaps because the Seventh Prince had been in the town for a long time, and the house did not look barren at all, and it was cleaned up in a short period of time to be low-key and luxurious.

The two walked in, and there was a housekeeper in front to lead the way, all the way to a courtyard study.

The Seventh Prince opened the door and saw the two of them, with just the right smile on their faces, and said, "Come in the study and talk." ”

"I've seen a nobleman."

"I've seen Lord Lin."

Goldman Sachs walked into the room with Xiang Xi and was invited to sit down.

The Seventh Prince not only identified himself with the two, but also put forward his own requirements.

"I don't care if your purpose is really for the people, but I need you to continue to help me do one thing, and this chamber of commerce will be handed over to you to be responsible, and whether you can succeed or not depends on yourself."

Xiang Xi was only surprised for a moment, and realized that this matter was a challenge for both himself and Goldman Sachs, and the two of them would be busier and busier, after all, in Fucheng, if you want to become the boss of the Chamber of Commerce, it is not difficult to have the help of the Seventh Prince, but after becoming the boss.

What he will face is how to deal with these businessmen, and they are all big businessmen, which is different from what Xiang Xi imagined at the beginning.

The merchants and landlords of the county town are easy to solve, and the power is all local, not so big, and they will also see the benefits she gives.

But Fucheng is different, most of the merchants there are big businessmen, maybe a small merchant has more property than Xiang Xi.

It can't be helped.

People have accumulated wealth for decades, and she and Goldman Sachs have only worked hard for a year, how can they compare, not to mention that their goal is not to make a lot of money, but to slowly lay a foundation in the county.

Xiang Xi felt troublesome and subconsciously looked at Goldman Sachs.

Gao Sachs bowed his head at her, looked at the Seventh Prince, and arched his hand, "Lord, I'm sorry, my lady and I don't have the idea of doing such a big business." ”

"You don't want to?" The stunned look on the face of the Seventh Prince could not be concealed.

Goldman Sachs nodded, "My wife and I think it is most suitable to do business in the town and county town at present, develop slowly, and walk out of a business route." ”

"If you go to Fucheng, you can easily trade hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and there is a lot of silver, but it will bring a lot of trouble."

"That's not our pursuit, please ask the prince to invite another master."

The Seventh Prince laughed angrily and snorted angrily, "You actually refused? If the king gives this right to Liu Yuanyuan, she will naturally happily agree, and when the time comes, you will suffer in their hands, and it will not be something that this king can manage. ”

The Seventh Prince, this is a threat.

Lin Xian Ling hurriedly glanced at the two of them, such a good opportunity, how can you not cherish it, if you offend the prince, we will all be finished by then, not to mention the words of the prince, either promote Goldman Sachs or Liu Yuanyuan.

The relationship between the two families is not good, Lin County Ling has also specially investigated, and even knows the news that Gao Xuan was almost expelled from the clan.

If you don't agree to this, I am afraid that the life of Goldman Sachs and his wife will not be easy in the future.

Obviously, Goldman Sachs also thought of this, his expression was a little ugly, and he didn't show it in front of the Seventh Prince, he lowered his head and thought, the atmosphere around him was silent.

Although Lin County's order was urgent, he also knew that this matter could not be forced, otherwise he would be separated from Goldman Sachs, and there would be a lot of trouble in the future.

Xiang Xi heard the threatening words of the Seventh Prince, but he had a guess in his heart, it seems that the Seventh Prince and Liu Yuanyuan are not all the way, at least, the people that this prince thinks in his heart.

Liu Yuanyuan wants to make profits for herself, and sooner or later there will be a contradiction between the two, that is to say, even if they don't agree to this matter and don't cooperate, Liu Yuanyuan will not rely on the power of the Seventh Prince to climb up in the future.

However, that's all for the future, and now Xiang Xi doesn't want Liu Yuanyuan to step on his head, so it's better to be diligent and work hard to develop his power.

"Lord Wang, I haven't been to Fucheng with Xianggong, I don't know what power there is, this business, mutual benefit and reciprocity are naturally the best, and no one will stop you, but well, if you encounter someone who can't afford to offend, we may not be able to solve it, and please don't suspect that we don't do our best when the time comes." Xiang Xi first said the ugly words in front of him, and expressed his willingness to agree.

Goldman Sachs looked back at her worriedly.

Xiang Xi smiled at him, speaking of which, it was Xiang Xi who was not too far-sighted, and she was the one who wanted salted fish, but Goldman Sachs was different, he was a smart person himself, and it was a bit of a waste of his talent to let him stay in the village for the rest of his life, why not fight hard, of course, to fight for some benefits for themselves, after all, compared to the prince, their social status is too low, and if they want to live a peaceful life, they always have to work hard.

"Also, Lord Wang, I will do things for you with my father-in-law, you must give some benefits." Xiang Xi said with a smile.

The Seventh Prince is not disgusted, it is normal for the other party to reciprocate, otherwise the two of them really have no desire and no desire, but he will be afraid of the other party's true purpose.

"Madame, what do you want?"

Xiang Xi smiled with his eyebrows, "Prince, this is simple, my husband and I are only responsible for helping the prince earn money, and I also hope that the prince can mention our intentions to the emperor, the emperor is the lord of the world, the two of us can see our hardships, and we can do things with peace of mind." ”

The Seventh Prince smiled, "Madame's request is not difficult, this king will definitely be satisfied, after all, Madame has given this king such a big gift before." ”

"I don't know what else Madame wants?"

"The prince is polite, these are enough, I and Xianggong are here to thank the prince for his sincere treatment." Xiang Xi saluted in style.

Goldman Sachs followed suit.

When they came out of the house, Xiang Xi and Goldman Sachs glanced at each other, and the two walked back hand in hand, the matter was settled, and the two of them were going to start getting busy.

Not in a few days.

Xiang Xi and Goldman Sachs took a carriage and headed to Fucheng, and this time they brought a lot of good shoes.

After arriving in Fucheng, the two of them did their separate things.

Goldman Sachs went to contact the businessmen in the city who had originally received the invitation from the Chamber of Commerce for the first banquet.

This banquet does not involve female dependents, it is all businessmen, and Goldman Sachs can handle it himself.

Xiang Xi took advantage of this time to open the shop he had bought before.

There weren't many shoes in the shop, so Xiang Xi brought other specialties over, all of which were a bunch of mountain goods that were easy to keep and easy to use, as well as various seasonings.

Meantime.

She opened a restaurant in Fucheng again, this restaurant is in cooperation with the Seventh Prince, the restaurant is very large, almost all the silver is given by the Seventh Prince, Xiang Xi only needs to copy the food and pots in the county and send it to the restaurant in Fucheng.

I have to mention here that the people of the Seventh Prince, even if they are cooks, learn things very quickly, and the key is that these people are from ordinary backgrounds, and they are still talents who have only recently been recruited by the Seventh Prince, which shows how good the Prince's vision is.

Soon.

The restaurant in Fucheng was opened.

With the blessing of the pot, the bottom of the mushroom pot and the bottom of the chili pot have become the most popular existence, which instantly detonated the entire Fucheng, and the three-story restaurant is full of customers almost every day.

is much better than Xiang Xi's grocery store business, she didn't panic, and hung all kinds of goods to be collected directly on the wall of the grocery store.

Chili pepper.

Shoe.

Goods.

Even firewood.

These things are not valuable, and many ordinary people come to the door every day to come and sell these chores, and they do not refuse to come to Xidu, resulting in a particularly good reputation of the grocery store.

Slowly spread throughout the city, not fast but long-lasting.

Xiang Xi sent the collected materials to various shops for processing and resale.

In particular, the consumption of various daily necessities and food is always the fastest.

She doesn't worry about hoarding at all, and even if she does, she can find a way to solve it.

this day.

Xiang Xi was in the shop planning to classify the plates.

There was an extra figure in front of the counter.

Xiang Xi looked up and saw Liu Yuanyuan wearing silk and satin, with a blue face, just looking at her.

Xiang Xi didn't raise his eyelids and continued to plan.

"Xiang Xi."

Liu Yuanyuan reached out and knocked on the table, reminding her dissatisfiedly, "Xiang Xi, I'm here, can't you see it?" ”

"What? We have such a bad relationship, shouldn't I ignore you? Do you want me to greet me with a smile? Xiang Xi looked at her with a smile.

Liu Yuanyuan's face turned blue with anger, "Are you too rude." ”

"I'm even more rude, believe it or not, I'll slap you?" Xiang Xi scolded back without hesitation.

Liu Yuanyuan gritted her teeth with hatred, but she had no choice but to hold back her anger and say, "I'm here to find you something." ”

"Oh, I don't want to tell you."

Xiang Xi directly rejected her, busy sorting out the goods, the grocery store is this trouble, there are many accounts that need to be calculated, and the young man of the Gao family who is now following her is a newcomer, and he still needs to be brought by Xiang Xi.

"Gao Lu, come and look at the account book, you compare, see where you are wrong, don't worry, take your time, the account book must be correct." Xiang Xi spoke directly to Gao Lu.

Liu Yuanyuan was completely ignored.

She was so angry that she almost ascended to heaven.

"Xiang Xi, you're very proud now, do you think I'm just capable of this?" Liu Yuanyuan said without hesitation, "You wait, I will make you regret it sooner or later." ”

"How can you be so easy to win over the prince?"

Liu Yuanyuan dropped this sentence, with some calculations in her eyes, and resolutely turned around and left.

Xiang Xi frowned, and arranged for someone to stare at her, wanting to see what she was going to do.

Then, Xiang Xi really heard some news, Liu Yuanyuan did not continue to stay in Fucheng, but found an opportunity to go to the capital, and through Liuli, he met many nobles in the capital.

Xiang Xi originally thought that Liu Yuanyuan would mix well, after all, she had a lot of knowledge.

Outcome.

In less than half a year.

learned from the mouth of the seventh prince that Liu Yuanyuan was beaten because she offended Mrs. Houfu, although she was later rescued by her good wife, but the injuries on her body caused the child she finally conceived to be gone, and her health became worse.

This incident became the fuse for Liu Yuanyuan and Gao Xuan to fall out.

Although Liu Yuanyuan was rescued and even protected by the wife of the cabinet minister, her price was to make all kinds of cosmetics for the other party, and Liuli, after the Seventh Prince had a recipe, Liu Yuanyuan was coerced by all kinds of troubles, and finally gave up making Liuli in order to save her life.

Because of her dissatisfaction with Liu Yuanyuan, Mrs. Hou Fu directly used a trick to make Gao Xuan have a relationship with her concubine.

After Liu Yuanyuan learned the news.

Even if Gao Xuan came up with evidence to prove that it was Mrs. Hou Fu who did it.

Liu Yuanyuan also angrily separated from Gao Xuan.

She is reluctant to accept unclean men.

After many failed explanations, Gao Xuan finally agreed to leave angrily, and was forced to marry a concubine by Mrs. Houfu.

And after the separation, it was Liu Yuanyuan's saddest beginning.

This is not modern, but in ancient times when women had a low status, Liu Yuanyuan and after leaving, she couldn't set up a female household, and she was reluctant to do business in the capital with the support of the wife of the cabinet minister, but she was looked down upon by these ladies, and even began to faintly spread that if anyone used the rouge gouache sold by Liu Yuanyuan, it would not be loved by the lord of the family.

As soon as the news came out.

Originally, because the gouache effect was not bad, the ladies who came to take care of it immediately gave up and switched to the rouge gouache produced by various pavilions that had been inherited for a hundred years.

Liu Yuanyuan has vigorously promoted, but she can't change this inherent impression.

At this time, Liu Yuanyuan made another wrong decision, she turned her guests to the merchant's wife, and the merchant's wife and concubine did not dislike it, after all, they relied on beauty to please their master.

And so it goes.

The officials and wives who had originally used Liu Yuanyuan's rouge gouache were angry.

At this time, the forces of all parties, who were already bound to win Liu Yuanyuan's secret recipe, deceived her of the recipe in her hand through various methods.

Liu Yuanyuan's temper became more and more irritable, she only knew a few recipes, and was not good at how to study, after losing the recipe, her business completely failed, with silver in her hand, but she didn't dare to take the lead, just because in this process, she offended many people.

When Liu Yuanyuan's value was completely squeezed out.

The wife of the cabinet minister also gave up on her completely.

If Liu Yuanyuan chose to take the rest of the silver and return to her hometown, there might be a way out, but in fact, she was unwilling and chose to make peace with Gao Xuan and become his concubine.

Liu Yuanyuan wanted to marry into a better family, but unfortunately these people were all human spirits, and seeing that the Seventh Prince had a little contradiction with her before, she didn't dare to offend the Seventh Prince, so she naturally wouldn't agree.

It was that the old official was willing to marry her as an outer room, but Liu Yuanyuan was unwilling, so she chose to reunite with Gao Xuan, thinking that she would marry Gao Xuan again, and she would say that she was a concubine on the surface, but in the end she was once his wife, so she couldn't ignore herself.

When Xiang Xi heard the news, his expression was a little constipated and speechless, and he felt that the final result was completely an emotional drama between the male and female protagonists...... No matter what happens in the end, the two will also be entangled.

Xiang Xi didn't want to care about this.

replied to the Seventh Prince with a letter of thanks, and then did not pay attention to Liu Yuanyuan and Gao Xuan.

Xiang Xi was busy expanding his business everywhere, especially branding.

Goldman Sachs was busy contacting caravans, exchanging resources with businessmen in the chamber of commerce, and opening up trade routes, while spending five years forming a job for ordinary people and achieving economic revival.

During this period, the Gao family completely took root in Yunshan County, and after the clan was admitted to the Jinshi in the third year of Gao Yun, they had more clan studies and completely changed their court.

Gao Yun stayed in the capital as a petty official, and Xiang Xi and Goldman Sachs would go to the capital to see him from time to time.

After Gao Yun was admitted to the official examination, he was much more mature than before, even if he met Gao Xuan and Liu Yuanyuan looking for trouble, he could easily resolve it, he was cautious, and he was very suitable for the court, he could endure grievances and see the situation clearly, and he was more suitable for the court than Zhao Qingyun, who had a more upright personality.

After Zhao Qingyun offended the official by speaking too upright, he was directly arranged in the Criminal Department and became an unsympathetic iron-blooded judge in the Criminal Department.

When Gao Yun grew up, Xiang Xi and Goldman Sachs were completely idle.

"I really didn't expect Xiaoyun to have this ability, just say a word, and let the emperor give us a holiday." Xiang Xi is leaving the capital with Goldman Sachs and returning to his hometown at the moment.

The two of them have been busy for many years, enriching the emperor's private treasury, and also doubling the current financial income of the household department.

Xiang Xi threw the method of making a cement road to Gao Yun.

If you don't run now, wait for when.

"Yes, you have worked hard with me all these years, not to mention that now that you are pregnant again, I am not willing to let you work hard." Goldman Sachs took her in his arms, and when he saw that she had to open the curtains, he smiled helplessly, and did not stop her, but took the cloak and hat and put them on her.

"That's not because he is a brother, fortunately, your brother doesn't like to make trouble for him, otherwise the third brother will be tired to death." Xiang Xi smiled slyly.

Goldman Sachs only put his arm around her waist, "Then let's just go back and rest and rest, and the third brother doesn't have to keep an eye on me......"

"Hahaha, you're not happy anymore."

Xiang Xi's laughter was accompanied by the bright sunshine.

And outside the carriage that was gradually moving away.

In an alley, Liu Yuanyuan, dressed in ordinary coarse cloth clothes, was pushed out of the alley, followed by a three- or four-year-old boy.

Liu Yuanyuan, who was once unreasonable, unreasonable, and high-sighted, was completely assimilated by this era.

Groveling to apologize to the person who pushed him.

She bent down and became one of the ordinary beings of this era.

Then write here first~ Thank you for your company, I don't have time to write before I finish here, bow.
