My harem can't be this messy

Chapter 554
However, the agreement between the Zheng family and Li Zhi has never changed, and the Zheng family has indeed allocated [-]% of the income from printing books every month to Li Zhi's famous account in Yinzhuang. Cui Yan is in charge of all the money. .

Even in order to avoid Li Zhi's suspicion, after becoming the head of the family, the fourth master of the Zheng family specially arranged Cui Yan's most trusted maid, Ying'er, to the printing workshop to manage the daily accounts of the printing workshop.

Cui Yan knows exactly how many books the Zheng family publishes every month. In addition, the prices of books on the market are basically stable.In the past, this was King Jin's silver, but now it is His Majesty's silver.

At this time, the Zheng family wanted to expand the scale of printing books, and even sent the wife of the head of the family to Chang'an on a special trip.

"For printing books, the Zheng family can just let it go. The Zheng family can also consider setting up printing workshops in Chang'an, the land of Youyan and Jiangnan, so as to avoid the loss of books caused by long-distance transportation. Books are precious at this time Yes, it would be a pity to lose some.”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will send someone back to report to the master about the Chang'an Yinfang. In fact, the master has already mentioned it to me when I left. Since Your Majesty has agreed, we, the Zheng family, should build the Chang'an Yinfang as soon as possible."

"By the way, Your Majesty, is Miss Cui still available?"

Li Zhi just laughed and looked at Mrs. Zheng.

He understood the meaning of Mrs. Zheng's words in his heart, but he was afraid that he would not trust the Zheng family, so he asked Sister Cui to arrange staff to go to the newly opened printing workshop to supervise the Zheng family's printing workshop.

"Okay, I still trust the Zheng family, so you can just use your own people. Now that the fourth master of the Zheng family is in charge of the Zheng family, there should be no shortage of manpower. Sister Cui's manpower is also very tight. Besides, Shiying is now my concubine, and the Li family and the Zheng family are also in-laws."

As Li Zhi said, he took Zheng Shiying's hand and patted it lightly twice. The beautiful woman looked at Li Zhi shyly.

When Mrs. Zheng saw it, she naturally smiled lightly.

"Both my husband and I are grateful for His Majesty's kindness to us. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, as long as my master and I are in the Zheng family, the Zheng family will always stand by His Majesty's side and do things for His Majesty."

Li Zhi nodded and looked at the Zheng family sisters beside him.

"Shiying, your mother has come to Chang'an, you can spend more time with her these few days, and go around Chang'an, including this palace."

In fact, Mrs. Liu is not Zheng Shiying's biological mother, but at most a stepmother, but whoever has nothing to do will say this out on purpose.

At this time, Mrs. Liu is the wife of the fourth master of the Zheng family, and Mrs. Zheng Shiying is his own daughter, so Mrs. Liu is Zheng Shiying's mother.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Both Zheng Shiying and Mrs. Zheng got up and bowed to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi thought that the matter here was over at this time, but suddenly he heard Mrs. Zheng say something, I want to say a few words to His Majesty, but I don't know if I can say it.

The meaning of these words was to avoid the two Concubines Zheng, that is to say, Mrs. Zheng only wanted Li Zhi to hear these words.

Zheng Shiying and Zheng Shuang understood the meaning of Madam Zheng's words, and now they only said that they should go to pay their respects to the Queen Mother, and they left here after not going for several days.

"Madam, just say what you want! They are not outsiders."

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, the Lu family sent someone to talk to the master about printing books, but the master didn't agree at that time. After all, this matter involves His Majesty, and you can only talk about it with your Majesty's nod."

"Lu's family? Fan Yang's Lu's family, they are also heirs of poetry and books, so it's only natural that they are interested in printing books."

Li Zhi said it calmly, but actually his heart was not calm.

Fan Yang Lu's family is one of the five surnames and seven wangs. At this time, the first-class famous family belongs to the absolute top class of this era. The family of the family has been extremely famous since the Qin and Han Dynasties.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was even a feat of three emperors. When the Northern Wei Dynasty split, Lu Jing's three sons served as the emperors of the Western Wei, Northern Qi, and Northern Zhou Dynasties respectively. Not to mention the Southern and Northern Dynasties, even if you look at China's 5000-year history, Absolutely no equal.

It is extremely rare for a family to produce one emperor teacher, which belongs to the level of smoldering ancestral graves, but the Lu family suddenly produced three, a total of three, this ancestral grave is not smoldering, it is shooting rockets.

"Your Majesty, my master sent the members of the Lu family away, but the Lu family never wanted to give up on the matter of printing books. Back and forth, they not only found my master, but also gave me gifts several times. Later, the master thought, Perhaps it is not a bad thing for His Majesty."

"Oh, what does your master mean?"

"Fanyang County belongs to the Northland. The master intends to entrust the printing of books in Youyan Land to the Lu family. This is a matter of fame and fortune. If you want to come to the Lu family, you should remember His Majesty's wishes."

"Then it's a loss for the Zheng family. It doesn't affect me at all."

"Your Majesty has shown kindness to our husband and wife, so we must remember His Majesty's kindness. Some things should be considered for His Majesty first."

"If you have a heart, you can let someone tell your master that he is in charge of this matter. However, in the matter of printing books, you can't let a third company come in. The two are already the limit, and the sales area is the best. The Zheng and Lu families have divided the boundaries well from the beginning, so as not to cause conflicts over some trivial matters and hurt each other's friendship."

When Zheng Shiying left with Mrs. Zheng, Li Zhi walked out of the hall and walked to the place where Cui Yan lived.

Although she has no status in the harem at this time, she can still live here legitimately. Cui Yan is Li Zhi's veritable financial manager at this time. As long as it is Li Zhi's personal bank, it is Cui Yan's management.

For future generations, only the dearest daughter-in-law can manage a man's money.

This Cui Yan has no name or role in the harem, but no one dared to underestimate her.

Not to mention the younger sisters who were familiar with in Prince Jin's mansion before, even the former emperor's concubines and the eldest grandson Empress Dowager treated Cui Yan as the closest person.

Just as Li Zhi walked in, Cui Yan closed an account book in his hand, got up and walked beside Li Zhi, with a slight blessing, he took Li Zhi's arm and let Li Zhi sit where she had just sat.As for Cui Yan, it was a matter of course that he sat on the Holy Majesty's dragon legs, no, on his lap.

At this time, after getting along with Li Zhi for a long time, Cui Yan did not regard Li Zhi as an outsider at all, and his every move seemed like a couple living together for several years.

Li Zhi patted Cui Yan's leg, and then without leaving his hand, he gently stroked the sister's jade leg.

"What is Sister Cui looking at?"

"The accounts of Yinzhuang!"

"Oh, what's going on in Yinzhuang recently?"

"Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, the business of Yinzhuang in various places is good, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Chang'an and Luoyang are worse than there."
