The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 104 Princess Chang'an ([-])

Emperor Yuanheng didn't know that Chang'an had a plan, so he didn't care for a while.

"Well, that's right. Come on, you guys can eat too. It's not easy to have a treat from Chang'an today. Let's not take advantage of her."

"That's right, you guys can eat it too. And this watermelon. It's all from Ye Duju. It's really auspicious."

Princess Chang'an hurriedly handed out apples and watermelons to everyone.

"How did you get the words on it?"

Emperor Yuanheng held an apple and looked at it carefully.

"This son-in-law asked about it. It is said that the words were carved and pasted on the apple. The underside of the words was not visible, and finally became characters."

The prince replied.

"Such a conception is ingenious, and it can be regarded as a wonderful workmanship. Is this also what Jia Min did?"

Emperor Yuanheng obviously knew about Jia Min.Thinking about the bus and carriage that Admiral Jiumen said today, he matched Jia Min.

"Who else could it be, father, this person is very hateful."

Princess Chang'an said angrily.

"Oh? How is he hateful?"

"He is a profiteer. The watermelon is so expensive. I still owe him more than 400 taels of silver."

Cough cough cough, Emperor Yuanheng coughed.

In the end, I fell for this little girl's tricks. The watermelon and apples are really not so easy to eat. It turned out that I owed money outside and came to me to coax the money.

"You didn't say you were from our family?"

"He wasn't there at the time, what should I say? Besides, even if he was there, I wouldn't say it. Wouldn't it be disgraceful for our family to pay for something?"

This little girl, she said she had revealed her secrets, and ran out secretly again these days.

"Of course, I didn't go out. The slaves owed the debt because of their ineffectiveness. I only accepted the debt when I saw that the slaves were still loyal. Why don't we be lenient?"

Little girl, I missed everything, and it's too late to change my mouth now.

"Then Jia Min is a profiteer, so we should arrest him and question him, to see if he dares to steal money from our family in the future? Are you satisfied with this?"

"Arguably, it was right to arrest him, but he can't be entirely blamed for this matter. In this business, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Since he has clearly marked the price, it is not all coaxing. "

"Has he ever come to ask you for a bill?"

"That's not true. He doesn't know who I am. It was Xia Bingzhong who dealt with him at the time. If you want to find him, you should go to Xia Bingzhong first. It's just that this debt will have to be paid back sooner or later. Otherwise, our family will look like a rascal. Yes. But, I have no money now, so..."

"Chang'an, I can give you the money. It's just that our family paid such a big price to buy this watermelon, but it's a bit wronged. Then Jia Min made so much money by opportunistically, so let's ask him to give it to you." Spit it out, do you think it's okay?"

"Father is the best. Until now, I still love Yin Zi."

"Okay, I'll give my little Chang'an a sigh of relief. Come here."

Dai Quan, the chief eunuch, came over.

"Your Majesty, the servant is here."

"The decree is that the Rongguo Mansion will take over the bus and carriage matters, and the operation will be resumed within half a month."

Dai Quan went down to deliver the decree.

"Father, Chang'an has also heard about the bus and carriage. It is said that he lost money. He looked for someone to take over, but no one took over. Then the Rongguo Mansion took over, wouldn't it also have to lose money?"

Princess Chang'an felt a little sorry, she thought it was because of herself that her father was angry at Rongguo Mansion.

"It's said that Jia Min is a business genius with a bit of the ability to turn stone into gold. I want to see what kind of ability he has to bring this business back to life."

Emperor Yuanheng said, and looked at a 25-year-old woman standing behind Concubine Zhou.There was an imperceptible smile on his face.

This Jia Min is your younger brother. I said so, you can keep calm and calm as usual, which is interesting.Yes, Not Bad.

That woman is Jia Yuanchun, Shangshu of Fengzao Palace.

Regarding the matter of the bus and carriage, as a new thing, Emperor Yuanheng was also aware of it.I have discussed it with others before, and some of the ministers have also investigated it.The final conclusion is that no matter who does it or how it is done, it will lose money.

This thing is actually not feasible at all.

It's just that this matter was highly praised by the government before, and Emperor Yuanheng himself once praised it, which aroused the admiration of Siam and Cochin, and sent people to study it.If you dismount hastily at this time, and wait until the vassal kingdom arrives, you will lose the dignity of the kingdom of heaven, so you don't want to disappear in a hurry.

After the subject came to study, he let it go.Therefore, since finding a substitute for the dead ghost, it is also necessary to round up the situation.

The reason why this errand fell on Jia's house actually has a lot to do with Jia Min.

The problem lies in the so-called auspiciousness of Yeduju.

The emperor's thinking logic is different from others.His greatest interest is his imperial power.

Since ancient times, the art of prophecy has often played an important role in the replacement of imperial power.And the art of prophecy happens to be related to auspiciousness and evil spirits.

In many cases, there is often only a thin line between auspiciousness and strangeness.Whether a phenomenon is auspicious or monstrous is often just a thought.

Since Jia Min can make the words "peace and prosperity" appear on the watermelon, he can also make the words "troubled times" and "faint kings have no way" appear on the watermelons.

From this perspective, the emperor still had some scruples about this so-called auspiciousness.

In addition, the concept of agriculture-oriented now occupies an orthodox position. With such creativity, Jia Min greatly increased the added value of watermelons and made a lot of money. The idea of ​​putting agriculture first is in conflict.

Therefore, he didn't mind taking this opportunity to give Jia Min a small punishment as a warning.

Emperor Yuanheng said that he asked Jia Min to spit out the money, which seemed to be a joke, but it actually had a psychological basis.

The reason why the decree was given to Jia's mansion instead of Jia Min is also reasonable.

People in this era actually have no individual independent personality. Everyone is a member of the clan and family.

The Jia family can not regard Jia Min as one of their own, and Jia Min can not regard himself as a member of the Jia family.However, this is just their own opinion.From the outside, they look like one.

Besides, no matter how capable Jia Min is, he is only 15 years old. Although he is considered an adult, he has not yet married and established a family. Therefore, he is a member of Jia's family.

Besides, the emperor doesn't have the time to pay attention to those messy things in your family. After an imperial decree, it's your Jia's business.As for whether Jia Min came to do the work himself, it was irrelevant.

The emperor promised to give the money, so Princess Chang'an was naturally overjoyed.After a group of people dispersed, they went to study the song "Butterfly Love Flower" by themselves.

This poem, together with the previously collected "Midnight Song" and "Yu Meiren", were all written by the calligraphers invited by Princess Chang'an, and then mounted. Now it has become a work of art, hanging on the bedside to appreciate it all the time. .

While admiring the poems, Princess Chang'an remembered one thing.

Although the emperor gave the money this time, what if there is no money in the future?You can't always ask your father to ask for it, can you?The brothers don't have much money, and I always go to search for them, not to mention not to mention much, and it's not a long-term thing.

After all, it is more convenient to earn money by yourself.

However, I can't go out all the time, let alone show my face like those women in the countryside.So you have to find an agent.

This person must know business and be able to make money.Since this Jia Min can make money, it should be the best to invest in him.

However, if you want to buy shares, you must have capital. However, I just don't have any money at the moment. If I have money, I don't need to earn money.

How can this be good?
By the way, Lichun's family is in business. She should understand this matter a little bit, so just ask her to see how to deal with it.

So, Princess Chang'an called Lichun, the maidservant.

Although Lichun is the maidservant of the princess, in terms of establishment, she belongs to the ranks of court ladies, and she also enters the palace through drafts.

In theory, court ladies also belonged to the emperor's women.In fact, Lichun can indeed be included in the ranks of the emperor's women.

The harem of the Daedeok Dynasty was established, with a queen and a harem for the prime minister.There is one concubine of the first rank, two concubines of the first rank, four concubines of the second rank, and six concubines of the fifth rank.

These people belong to the upper echelons of the harem.There are a total of 13 people from the imperial concubine to the concubine, and their duty is to assist the queen in managing the harem.

These titles, similar to job titles, indicate rank.The specific job is another name.

For example, Jia Yuanchun's title at this time was concubine, and his position was Shangshu of Fengzao Palace.Belonging to the lower ranks of the high-level harem.

In addition, there are the nobles of the sixth rank, the constant presence of the sixth rank, the promise of the seventh rank, and the official daughters of the seventh rank.

The number of these grades is variable, and there is no fixed position.Basically belong to the follower of the upper class.In the entire harem system, it belongs to the middle class.

The rest are the bottom show girls.The lowest status, huge base.

Because it is serving the princess, Lichun is also of high grade.It is the promise of Zheng Qipin.At the same level as the general county magistrate, they belong to the department-level cadres.

Lichun was taken aback by the princess' idea.However, it was relieved immediately.

My master, what can't I do?If you don't do some weird things for a few days, it's not her, but a fake princess.

This Princess Chang'an has always been a bold and bold person, she will go her own way when she is sure about something, and nothing can stop her.

Lichun pondered for a long time, and finally came up with an idea.

"Since we have no money and want to invest in shares, we have no choice but to invest in dry shares."

"Dry stock? What is dry stock?"

"It means that we don't pay money, don't put in effort, don't need to pay anything, just wait for the money."

At this moment, Princess Chang'an was a little stunned.

Can you still make money like this?
She was, however, an exceedingly clever person, and she was immediately enlightened.

This business is similar to Father Emperor's business.There is no need to pay anything, all the money in the world belongs to our family.
