The commander-in-chief is handsome and charming

In fact, the old doctor only came to tell you one thing.

There is a high probability that Concubine Lin is carrying a boy in her belly.

Let Lingyun make plans early.

Ling Yun looked at the old doctor Ge who was sitting on the chair and telling her seriously that he had made plans early.

He patted the fan in his hand gently.

"Mr. Ge, if she gives birth to a son, what should I do?"

"It's not like I got her pregnant."

After she said this, Doctor Ge was almost pissed off to death.

"If she gives birth to a prince, your plan will be half accomplished!!!" The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

He said that Ling Yun was unreliable.

She stayed in her boudoir every day, neither going out to make friends with powerful officials nor doing anything behind the scenes.

Indulge in the pleasures of life and lose the desire to make progress.

When Old Doctor Ge thought of this, he looked at Ling Yun with disappointment.

Fortunately, this boy is a girl.

If he is really a man, he is probably a playboy!

Ling Yun:......

I don't understand what this old man is so excited about.

However, she did take these words to heart.

"Know, know."

“We are all busy.”

She nodded and gently waved the folding fan in her hand.

It's been quite busy recently.

Cui Xiang was busy working hard to make money, opening one shop after another.

Cheng Ruyi was busy making friends with the children of officials.

Because of his name Cui Xiang, this group of people were willing to make friends with him.

Yang Song helped Cui Xiang manage his business and learned some business tips from Cui Xiang.

Of course, he also secretly helped Cheng Ruyi to win over this group of children of officials.

Since this group of people have got in touch with Cui Xiang.

Of course I won't miss the opportunity to make money.

Cui Xiang’s business is going even better than when he was in Dongling.

Which family doesn't have a son who doesn't want to pursue a career in politics?

Just happened to be befriended by Cheng Ruyi.

After discussing with the family, we decided to take advantage of Cui Xiang's support.

Go out and gain some experience, and make money for the family.

As a result, Cui Xiang was extremely busy in Beijing, and almost every business was connected with Cui Xiang.

With the old emperor's connivance, Cui Xiang even started a salt and iron business.

There are cities of all sizes within the territory of Southern Qi.

Wherever these children of officials can go.

Shops of all sizes popped up like mushrooms after a rain.

After Cui Xiang discussed with the old emperor, these shops only charged very little taxes.

The rest followed Cui Xiang's shop's plan.

Share it with the old emperor!

Each shop gave the old emperor 10% of its profits.

Of course, this profit cannot be given directly to Your Majesty.

It would be bad if these officials found out.

So Cui Xiang held a banquet in a restaurant to entertain the children of noble families and officials who had connections with him.

Sign a contract with them in your own name.

He owns 30% of each family.

Responsible for helping with planning and directing.

The Southern Qi Chamber of Commerce Alliance was established, with Cui Xiang as the president.

Then several branch presidents were selected based on regional divisions.

It actually brought together the merchants of Southern Qi for the first time.

Cheng Ruyi was standing beside Cui Xiang and her face turned red as she listened.

what is this?

This is the business emperor!

My brothers are so awesome.

Although Cheng Ruyi didn't even become a branch president, it didn't affect his happiness for Cui Xiang at all.

Therefore, he generously blocked the wine for Cui Xiang.

He forced himself to get drunk!

Cui Xiang looked helplessly at Cheng Ruyi who was hanging on him and still chattering.

He looked at Yang Song who was also drunk.

Both of them drank a lot that day.

Cui Xiang had the two of them to block his drinking, and he was also a little drunk.

Together with Yang Song, he helped Cheng Ruyi upstairs.

He hurriedly asked someone to prepare a hangover soup.

He drank a bowl himself and gave a bowl to Cheng Ruyi.

Of course Yang Song also drank a bowl.

After drinking, he grinned at Cui Xiang and said, "Master, my uncle said that you are now the emperor among merchants."

Cui Xiang was tidying up his clothes. When he heard this, he frowned and looked at Yang Song.

"Don't mention this again!"

"What kind of place is this? How can you talk nonsense?!"

He scolded with a sullen face, and Yang Song secretly shrank his neck.

Although Cui Xiang still has that handsome appearance, he has been tempered in the business world in recent years.

After calming down, it still has some momentum.

Seeing that Yang Song was scared by himself.

Cui Xiang was satisfied.

"I'll change my clothes and go into the palace. You keep an eye on him."

"Don't let him get drunk and do something stupid."

"Yes! Don't worry, Master." Although Yang Song is a few years older than Cui Xiang, he has been following Cui Xiang in doing business recently.

He was full of admiration for Cui Xiang.

I don't know when he changed his way of addressing me, and started calling me Master instead of Master.

Cui Xiang was somewhat dissatisfied at first.

I'm used to it now.

I hurried to my rest room and changed my clothes.

He got rid of the smell of alcohol on his body.

Then he went out and got on the carriage.

Of course, such a big thing requires notification to the old emperor.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain afterwards.

Cui Xiang took the sign given by the old emperor and arrived at the imperial study smoothly.

The eunuch in charge, seeing him, hurriedly came up to him with a smile.

"Master Cui, why are you entering the palace at this time?"

It’s not early anymore, the sun is already setting.

"Excuse me, eunuch. I have something to ask for your attention." Cui Xiang bowed with a smile and handed over a silver note.

The father-in-law smiled even more brightly.

"Sir, you are always so polite. I would like to thank you."

He put the banknote away with a smile, bowed to Cui Xiang and said, "Sir, please wait a moment."

After saying this, he walked in quickly and passed the message.

Soon he came out again and bowed to Cui Xiang, "Sir, His Majesty wants you to come in."

"Thank you, eunuch!" Cui Xiang bowed to him.

He straightened his clothes and walked in.

The old emperor was very happy to see him.

But when he heard about this Chamber of Commerce alliance, his expression dimmed.

The royal family is most taboo about these things.

It would not be good for the royal family if people from any walk of life, including scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, worked together.

Upon seeing this, Cui Xiang hurriedly handed over the memorial he had prepared.

There is also a signed contract.

The old emperor waved to the eunuch, who hurriedly took the things.

After reading the memorial with a stern face, the old emperor's expression eased a little.

Cui Xiang is really a man who knows how to handle things.

The beginning of this memorial introduces the role of the Chamber of Commerce, and then explains that the Chamber of Commerce only serves the royal family.

It can be considered a tool for the royal family to make money.

The president of this chamber of commerce is appointed by the royal family.

This sentence satisfied the old emperor.

He put the memorial there with a smile, and looked up at Cui Xiang, "Cui Xiang, I was right about you!"

After saying that, he picked up the contracts and took a look at them.

Seeing that Cui Xiang signed 30%, the other 30% would belong to the national treasury.

The old emperor was a little unbalanced, but

Cui Xiang spoke at the right time, "Your Majesty, I am deeply loved by your Majesty, so I naturally don't care about these vulgar things."

"But if I grow old, the newcomers will still have to have great benefits to suppress their selfishness!"

When the old emperor heard this, he gently patted the pile of deeds.

"Well, you've thought about it carefully."

"Just do as you say!"

After saying that, he thought for a moment and said, "It's just that this business meeting shouldn't be held in your restaurant all the time."

"I remember that the house of King Kaoshan was still empty, so I will give it to your Chamber of Commerce."

"You can ask someone to clean it up yourself, and I will give you a plaque."
