Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Zhu Huiyan was as busy as a spinning top during this time.

But no matter how busy and tired she is, she is full of energy when she thinks that she will go to Yingzhou to become a vassal.

She was born in the seventh year of Tianqi (1627) and is now 24 years old.

Her biological mother was only the third-class wife of Prince Hui's mansion, only better than the unnamed concubine (Ji concubine), and incomparable to the princesses and side concubines above.

So she had no status in Prince Hui's mansion before.

Because when King Hui came to the vassal, the court was in financial difficulties and didn't give much money, so the life of a concubine in the palace like her was actually not as good as having a lot of food and clothing.

When her mother died when she was young, her life in the palace was difficult, and she also experienced the pain of hunger and cold.

Not long after that, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were in chaos in Huguang, and the concubines and concubines of the palace lost their minds about intrigue and fled south together.

When crossing the Xiangjiang River, because she was squeezed into a small boat, she avoided the catastrophe that the big boat was capsized by the strong wind.

Later, she traveled to Hunan with her father, and almost fell into the hands of thieves at the most dangerous time. Fortunately, she met her current husband, Yang Shang, and was saved.

Yang Shang's family is a small landlord of the Han people in southern Hunan. The family formed a small business gang, and he was the young master of the business gang.

This identity is naturally difficult for her father to look up to.

Not to mention that she later became the only surviving child of her father.

The father asked Yang Shang to marry him, but Yang Shang also disagreed.

With such twists and turns, the two have been in love for many years, and it was only in the third year of Zhaowu that they achieved a positive result-the promise to the father was that they would adopt a grandson as their grandson in the future.

As a result, she even gave birth to two daughters, which directly made her father depressed, and she spent more time studying Buddhist scriptures every day.

Zhu Huiyan is also a bit temperamental, and she simply doesn't want to regenerate—at least for a few years, she has no idea of ​​rebirth.

She concentrates on managing the palace and investing to make money.In addition to taking care of her daughter, the rest of the time is spent studying the knowledge in the textbooks of the Zongfan school.

The reason why she was able to earn dozens of times the profit by investing in businessmen was not only talent, but also the knowledge she learned from the textbooks of the Suzerain School.

On this day, Zhu Huiyan brought in an investment of 1 taels from a wealthy businessman's wife, and sent it out of the palace in person. After entering, she took a breather, and the concierge hurriedly came to report, "Your Majesty, someone from the palace said it was for you." Princess Kunqing is visiting you."

"Oh?" Zhu Huiyan was slightly taken aback, and then said joyfully, "Please come in quickly!"

The concierge didn't understand, but Zhu Huiyan knew how important Princess Kunqing was in Daming now, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was the same prince as before.

Princess Kunqing was in Chengdu, but she asked a female official from Nanjing to visit on her behalf. Even if there was no order from the current emperor, the emperor must have known about it.

Although it was only a female official who came, Zhu Huiyan still received it grandly.

"May I ask what the female history is called?"

"Ming Shilan." The female officer who came smiled and said.

"His Royal Highness Princess Kunqing sent a female historian of the Ming Dynasty to visit. Huiyan is very honored."

After Ming Shilan sat down, he said: "You are welcome, Prince Hui, I am entrusted by the princess to invest in King Hui's collar."

As he spoke, Ming Shilan asked the accompanying maid to hand over a box.

"Here is a Daming Bank check of 5 million yuan, and the withdrawal key is also in the box. You can take a look first."

Although Zhu Huiyan expected that Princess Kunqing's sending someone to visit was probably a good thing, she was still a little surprised to see that Ming Shilan sent [-] million silver dollars when she came up.

Immediately there was a surprise.

She opened the brocade box, and sure enough, she saw a check and secret documents inside.

Daming Bank was opened in the third year of Zhaowu. At first, it was only used to pay salaries to officials, and then to soldiers. After that, it introduced regular bank notes that could be circulated, and secret deposits that were specially used to withdraw large amounts of money. Cheque.

In the past three years, its subordinate local branches have opened non-governmental businesses, such as deposits, foreign exchanges, and low-interest loans.

Because the banknotes of Daming Bank are so exquisitely made, it is absolutely impossible for the people to imitate them, and Daming Bank has the endorsement of the state and is extremely powerful. Therefore, as soon as it opened the private business, it quickly occupied the relevant market.

The banknotes of Daming Bank quickly replaced other circulating banknotes and were recognized by the whole people.

According to Zhu Huiyan's knowledge, there are four denominations of banknotes in circulation at Daming Bank: 50 yuan, 1000 yuan, [-] yuan, and [-] yuan.

Silver deposits of [-] yuan and above require a secret check to be withdrawn, and are not circulated in the market.

And the largest encrypted bank note she had seen before was only 5 taels, and this was the first time she had seen this one million and fifty thousand taels of encrypted check.

Immediately, she was a little panicked, and hurriedly got up and said, "How can Huiyan and her father, He De, get Her Royal Highness to invest such a huge sum of money? After all, there are certain risks in operating overseas fiefdoms, and Huiyan really dare not accept such a huge sum of money."

Ming Shilan didn't seem to be surprised by Zhu Huiyan's reaction. She also stood up, bowed her hands towards the Forbidden City, and said with a smile: "My lord, although the 5 million yuan was invested by Princess Kunqing for you, but among them But there are a million taels that His Majesty borrowed from the internal funds to lend to His Royal Highness the Princess. Do you understand what I said?"

Zhu Huiyan was shocked at first, then trembled, and said, "Huiyan understands."

The emperor wants to invest, who would dare not accept it?
But it also shows that the emperor values ​​her, which is a great thing.

Thinking about this clearly, Zhu Huiyan bowed in the direction of the Forbidden City and said, "Huiyan thanks the emperor for his grace!"

Ming Shilan helped Zhu Huiyan up, and said: "To the outside world, you can only say that Princess Kunqing invested in you. Of course, if no one asks, you don't want to publicize it."

"Yes."

Obviously, the emperor just wanted to help her through investment, but he didn't want her to use this matter to seek more benefits.

Later, Ming Shilan signed a formal investment contract with Zhu Huiyan, the son of King Hui on behalf of Princess Kunqing, Zhu Huiyan, and became the largest shareholder of King Hui, and then left with the contract documents.

After Ming Shilan left, Zhu Huiyan immediately issued a strict order to the palace, prohibiting talking about the visit of the female official today.

In the afternoon, King Hui Zhu Changrun returned from the Zongfan School in his own four-wheeled carriage.

The boarding system of the princes in the vassal school ended after four years, and only the princes and heirs of the county princes were still boarding.

At the same time, the number of daily classes in the prince class has also decreased, allowing the prince to have more time to return to the palace for leisure or to do other things.

Zhu Changrun, who is 57 years old, does not like women or other hobbies. He likes to study Buddhist scriptures, eat fast and chant Buddha.

After returning, he said to Zhu Huiyan: "Tomorrow morning, I will choose the territory of Yingzhou at the Zongfan School. You are allowed to accompany me. You must be prepared."

Zhu Huiyan was overjoyed when she heard that, and replied, "Yes."

After conveying this matter, Zhu Changrun wanted to sneak into the Buddhist hall of the palace and come out after dinner.

Seeing this, Zhu Huiyan hurriedly said: "Father, Princess Kunqing sent a female official here today..."

Immediately, Zhu Huiyan concealed that the 100 million taels was actually invested by Aimee Zhu, and said the rest.

Even though Zhu Changrun had eaten fast and recited Buddhism for many years, he felt that he was about to become a Buddha, so he couldn't help but get excited after hearing the news.

"Princess Kunqing is actually optimistic about our King Hui? Why did you invest so much? This is a good thing!"

In fact, Zhu Changrun has no confidence in operating overseas territories, and is even afraid that he will burp within two years after arriving overseas.

Now knowing that Princess Kunqing supports her, her confidence is greatly increased, and she is more active in the matter of becoming a feudal vassal overseas than before.

"Since we have Princess Kunqing's support, our Huiwangling can also do a lot. After choosing the territory tomorrow, I will go to meet with a few county kings and try to get some more investment for our Huiwangling."

After hearing this, Zhu Huiyan objected: "Father, you can no longer invest in King La County—now we have enough funds to build the territory, and we have Princess Kunqing as the major shareholder.

If a few more county kings are brought in, at most tens of thousands of taels of funds will be obtained, but it will make the territory's personnel affairs a lot more complicated, which is not good.

In addition, Princess Kunqing doesn't want everyone to know about her investment in King Hui, so it's best not to mention it outside. "

"Is that so?" Zhu Changrun took a while to digest the words, then nodded, "Okay, I know."

···
The next day, at eight in the morning.

Zhu Huiyan followed Zhu Changrun to the Zongfan School.

The election of the territory began at nine o'clock.

But after entering the prince's class, she found that most of the princes and their eldest sons had already arrived, and they were looking at them with quite strange eyes.

First more.
