Chapter 318: Industry
"Rest assured, the 'medicine' materials are not a problem, as long as it is the 'medicine' materials you need, this king will collect them in the fastest time. ”
Doctor Miao didn't ask anything else, and buried himself in prescribing.
In the evening, Emperor Chengping woke up from his coma.
Doctor Miao, who had been guarding beside him, finally breathed a sigh of relief, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, took the silver needle in his hand, saluted to the King of Wei beside him, and carried the 'medicine' box out of the wing room under the leadership of Gonggong Wei.
Chu Lian stayed in the Wei Wangfu until it was almost dark, and later He Changdi personally came over.
The husband and wife had dinner in the Wei Wangfu and returned home together.
Because Chu Lian was pregnant, He Changdi was not at ease, so he simply abandoned the horse and accompanied his daughter-in-law to ride in the carriage.
In the spacious carriage, He Saburo wrapped his wife in his arms, his chin rested lightly on the top of Chu Lian's head, one big hand dragging her waist, and the other big palm grasping her silky little hand.
A low magnetic 'sex' voice came from above Chu Lian's head, "Lian'er, how is the princess's body?"
When she was in front of Princess Wei, Chu Lian was really worried about Princess Wei's body, and now that she was out of the Wei Palace, she noticed that something was wrong.
Doctor Miao has been in contact with her for the longest time, and she has also 'figured' the old man's 'temperament', according to what he said today, I am afraid that the princess's body is not a big problem at all, and Princess Wei herself knows it.
Since the princess is in good health, why did she specially summon her to the Wei Palace?
And who did Dr. Miao treat in the afternoon?
Mama Lan is not an ordinary slave in the palace, she can make her anxious like that, but she is afraid that her identity is not ordinary.
Chu Lian pushed He Changdi behind him, left his arms slightly, looked up at him, his clear eyes blinked and moisturized, making her whole person smart.
Grabbing the placket of He Changdi's python robe, Chu Lian shook his head, and then asked, "Husband, do you know which master of the palace is sick?"
He Changdi has his own ordinary people, some of them are from the King of Jin, and some of them are the generals of Jing'anbo Mansion, and he is very well-informed.
He Sanlang raised his eyebrows, "No, the big county king is not in the palace, and the little county king has always been healthy, that is, the princess Wei is slightly unwell." ”
Now that Princess Wei is in good health, who are they asking Doctor Miao to see?
Chu Lian told He Changdi what happened in the Wei Wangfu in the afternoon.
He Changdi moved his arms slightly, adjusted a comfortable position for his wife in his arms while thinking, and said, "Lian'er, do you think it will be the one above?"
When He Saburo said this, his deep eyes flashed with a 'fine' light.
Chu Lian was stunned, thought about it carefully, and found that He Changdi's guess was not unreasonable.
"Then why is the Holy Lord in the Wei Palace's Mansion at this time? I heard the county lord say that there are not many times when the Holy Lord is in the White Dragon Fish Suit. ”
He Changdi lowered his head and pecked his wife's silky cheek, and pressed Chu Lian's head to his 'chest'.
There are some things that he hasn't decided yet, so he didn't say it to Chu Lian.
Emperor Chengping's various actions in recent days, especially against him, are probably related to Chu Lian.
"Maybe it's a coincidence, Lian'er, don't bother, when Uncle Miao goes back, I'll talk to Uncle Miao. ”
Chu Lian also doesn't like to ponder the direction of the court and figure out the emperor's heart, she became more and more lazy after she became pregnant.
She leaned comfortably on He Changdi's sturdy chest, closed her eyes slightly, and was a little sleepy.
He Saburo stroked her soft hair, "I have arranged the matter of Muxiang, even if we have all the precautions, you still have to be careful, don't let her take advantage of the loophole." ”
As long as Mu Xiang dares to make a little move, then it will be her death!
He Changdi is the twenty-fourth filial piety in front of Chu Lian, but in front of others, he is a cold-faced Yama.
After experiencing a tragic previous life, from the beginning of this life, he was considered a good person by the standards of the world.
After staying in the military camp for so long, he later returned to Beijing and fought openly and secretly, and his hands were not stained with blood.
The court struggle has always been a hundred times more cruel than the battle in the back house.
Chu Lian bowed his head in He Changdi's arms in a drowsy manner.
He Changdi felt the long and gentle breathing of his wife in his arms, and his arms hugged her tighter.
At this moment, he is not only his cherished and loving wife, but also their first child who has not yet been born, and he is holding the soft and petite body in his arms like this, as if he is embracing his whole world.
Unconsciously, He Changdi's stiff handsome face slowly melted, and the corners of his mouth had a heart-warming arc.
The next day, Doctor Miao was sent back to the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion.
He Changdi personally talked to the divine doctor Miao, and as soon as the two of them said, He Changdi basically affirmed that the person who saw the doctor in the Wei Wangfu was Emperor Chengping.
Doctor Miao had already decided to retire in the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, he saved Mrs. Jing Anbo's 'life', and his identity was already half of He Changdi's Chu Lian's elders, a person on a boat, and Miao Divine Doctor was a 'shrewd' person, as long as he knew something, he would not hide it from He Changdi and Chu Lian.
As soon as he learned the news, He Changdi went to the Jin Palace.
Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Although it is August and autumn, the weather is still hot, especially for pregnant women who are holding their bellies.
Chu Lian has been pregnant for more than six months, and her belly has long been bulging, and now even if she is wearing a loose Luo skirt, she can't cover her raised abdomen.
Although she is pregnant, except for her big belly, there is not much change on the side, and her small face is not much fatter.
It's just that because of pregnancy, there is a touch of the unique charm of pregnant women, and it is even more attractive than before.
The county lord of Duanjia often came to see Chu Lian, and said with a jealous 'tone' that she didn't look like a pregnant 'woman' at all except for this big belly.
Who is pregnant with a child is not fat and bloated, and some noble women have spots on their faces, because they are restricted, they can't try to clean up and dress up, and their appearance has dropped more than one grade compared to when they were not pregnant. It's good that she has completely taken off the immaturity on her face and has become more charming and beautiful.
In the afternoon, Chu Lian cooled off in the pavilion by the lotus pond in the small 'flower' garden in the backyard, and several plates of 'fine' snacks were placed on the stone table next to him.
There are Suzhou-style small square cakes, jujube mud mountain 'medicine' cakes, Sixi dumplings, cloud cakes......
There is also a cup of jasmine 'flower' tea with a light fragrance next to it.
Chu Lian sat next to the beauty in the pavilion, listening to Steward Qin and Zhou Wen report on the situation in Jian City and Dejufeng in Liangzhou in the north.
Now Chu Lian checks an account book every month, and the rest of the things are 'handed over' to these two people.
"Madam, now that the population of Liangzhou has increased several times because of Jian City, half of the 'fine' simple courtyards we built around Liangzhou City have been rented out, and half of them are more 'fine', do you want to rent them out again. ”
The original Liangzhou City is simply no different from the dead city, and the people have not yet had many soldiers, so it doesn't matter if the Zhizhou of Liangzhou is vacant after being dismissed.
Chu Lian originally set up dozens of simple markets around Liangzhou, attracting the surrounding barbarians and Tuhun people.
At the beginning, bartering, a jar of pickles can be exchanged for cattle, horses and sheep, whether it is transported to Sucheng alive or slaughtered and then pickled and transported to Guannai, it is simply unprofitable, and the trade is the same.
Later, the scale of Jian City became larger and larger, and it was impossible for the barbarians and Tuhun people to be so stupid as to exchange things with them all the time at this low and almost no price.
Even if the price is raised again and again, it is still very different from the nearby city due to the geographical scope of Liangzhou.
Merchants seek profits, Sucheng is close to Qianshan Lake, it is a big city, and soon there are merchants from Sucheng to do business in Liangzhou, and Jianshi is more prosperous because of the addition of this group of retail merchants.
When these merchants in Sucheng earned their first pot of gold, Jianshi's reputation spread more and more.
Immediately afterwards, businessmen from farther places rushed to Liangzhou.
In this era when development basically depends on population, more people means prosperity.
These people entered Liangzhou City, filling the population lost in Liangzhou in the past, and coupled with Jianshi, a "big city" that gathers people, Liangzhou City has people staying and settling almost every day.
Once there are more people in the city, all kinds of shops will spring up like a spring after the rain.
These businessmen who came to Liangzhou City to do business wanted a place to live, so the land of the house that Chu Lian had bought in Liangzhou City at a low price with the silver that he had 'drawn' from Jian City in Liangzhou before played a role at this time.
The newly built houses and yards are rented to these runners who come to do business. Liangzhou City is becoming more and more prosperous, and the price of renting these yards will only become more and more expensive.
Even if Steward Qin was so well-informed, he never thought that Liangzhou City, which was deserted and unpopular last year, would become so prosperous in just half a year, and the old inner city was even overcrowded.
Chu Lian took a sip of the elegant jasmine 'flower' tea, thought about it and said to Steward Qin: "Don't rent it for the time being, and then wait, if there is any extra money, the remaining courtyards will be renovated in the 'fine' area." ”
Liangzhou City has now become a big foreign trade city, whether it is a merchant from another country, or a merchant of the Dawu Dynasty, after earning silver, they will be more willing to 'spend' silver, and now this ordinary accommodation in Liangzhou can no longer meet the requirements of these big merchants.
The rest of the courtyard, Chu Lian wants to 'make' it into a form similar to a modern five-star hotel.
Although Steward Qin didn't know what Chu Lian was thinking, he didn't ask or object in confusion, following Chu Lian these days, he had already understood that his wife's whimsical ideas were too much.
Her decisions are often eye-catching.
After listening to Steward Qin's words, Zhou Wen was not far behind.
He helped Chu Lian manage Dejufeng and other industries in Beijing, and added a new tea garden this summer.
"Mrs. Yubao, this 'spring' is invested in Dejufeng's Biluo 'spring', so far, the net profit alone is 10,000 taels, and the deposit for the order set this autumn is also 10,000 taels, do you think we want to raise the price a little more?"
Chu Lian shook his head, "No, we must pay attention to honesty in business, we have already set the price earlier, and it will not change this year, you go back today and tell them not to take orders, just say that the reservation is full, and then you will have to wait until next year's 'spring'." ”
In fact, the tea mountain purchased by Chu Lian is already enough for these orders in her hand, but she is not ready to sell more.
The truth that scarcity is expensive is in front of us, and modern "hunger marketing" is a truth that everyone understands.
Besides, the roasted tea technology she knows now is not mature, and it still takes time to 'explore', and it also takes time to screen the new tea of various 'colors' in the tea mountain that she has purchased.
