Concubine Wuning

He Qing used the seafood that Nian Shi never had, and didn't mention anything else.

Seeing that she was stingy, Prince Yong naturally didn't say a word.The two had dinner at ease, washed and changed their clothes, and took a rest together.

After waiting for half a day at Nian's place, he saw that there was no movement for a long time from the unemployed layman.After inquiring about the servants in the study, I couldn't help but toss around for a while, so I could only hold the eighth elder brother and cry once with tears in my eyes.

During these days, Prince Yong seldom went there, and he didn't mention the vague words of restraint when he went.No one said that Nianshi himself turned out to be a bitter trick.After a long time, facing Prince Shang Yong's unconscious neglect, he really closed the door, and hoped that Prince Yong would not come to the door, Nian had already aroused heartache and felt very uncomfortable.

Nian himself sang a one-man show in Cuiyingtang, Prince Yong knew it, Sifu Jin knew it, and He Qing knew it.But so what?After letting her out, there is still trouble about the child, everything is fine, and Prince Yong will be there to accompany her.Simply close the door and let her take it with her in a safe and sound manner, maybe she will be more interested in supporting herself, and cause troubles in vain.

Chunxia leads Zhuangzi in charge of the servants, and is paying an account to He Qing.He Qing apparently handed over all his pockets to Chao Xi to add to his dowry, so naturally his subordinates still had some spare money.There were already some Zhuangzi shops, but He Qing learned about them later, and took advantage of the fact that the nobles in Beijing were going to buy hot spring resorts, so he picked a few and sold them in a secluded and elegant way.He also prepared the bricks, tiles, carved railings, flowers, etc. for the purchase early, and resold them, and the money in his hand naturally doubled.

He Qing really has no place to spend money, and usually has monthly bills.Between the visits, there were gifts, going in and out, so that my pockets were bulging.Even for the store's income every month, He Qing keeps it by herself.I also thought about my father's hard work collecting debts all over the city, and he also had to think about money at night, and he knew that money was important.Originally thinking of putting it away, He Qing started thinking again, looking for business opportunities everywhere, and opened up more shops.In particular, a business at sea takes a long time to come and go, the harvest is rich, and the things obtained are rare, and it is also very profitable to buy and make a living.

After coming and going, He Qing only took care of some affairs that could not be postponed in the mansion.When you are free, you are full of business.

In spring and summer, I saw He Qing mentally calculating the advantages and disadvantages. There are more than a dozen shops, seven or eight Zhuangzi, and many housekeepers, etc. He Qing can count them all.It is both admirable and funny, "I said that the master is an elegant person, but now it seems that he has fallen into the money bag. Whether it is the royal clan in Beijing or the high-ranking officials, they are not as good as our master."

In addition to the dowry of his subordinates, the ordinary Fujin also had to take care of the family affairs of the mansion, big and small.It's the first-class side Fujin, at worst, it's like He Qing's separation of powers, but it's more about monopoly and competition for favor, and even trivial matters can turn upside down.How could He Qing be so quiet, she almost became the God of Wealth behind her back.

He Qing was also a little funny when he heard the words, thinking that he didn't care at all, and it wasn't too much after looting property.When Zhao Xi got married, He Qing was still feeling sorry for herself.Now that I let go, I feel that it is meaningless, and it is easier to get started when my mind is relaxed, which is also very helpless.

San'er nodded and praised, "Exactly. People in the world say that those imperial merchants are not as rich as Jiubeizi. Now it seems that they are not as rich as the master's silently, so they won't be noticed by others."

"Let people see it, and there is a reason to see it. At least on the bright side, the way is upright, and no one says anything." He Qing doesn't think so, she thinks that women always suffer in the world.Especially since my grandfather knew that she had too much money, she might have to push it out herself before the people above shook her head, so as to take care of the situation.

It's just a good thing that she only made a fortune from the flow of funds, and didn't add it to her private pockets when.Even if someone in the capital saw it, most of them would have nothing to say.Even if it is said, she has a lot of ideas.

San'er frowned. Speaking of this, she was also a little angry.

Recently, someone mentioned her life-long event, and all the servants have small details.Fortunately, she said earlier that she would not marry after she died, and He Qing asked her if she should be sincere, so she dismissed the idea.Even if it was gossip, she was not afraid of the shadow slanting, it just sounded a little boring.

Seeing that San'er didn't answer, Chunxia thought that she often received news from everywhere when she was doing things outside, and she also understood this in her heart, so she nodded with a smile, "Since the world is harsh on women, we can't help it, so we will do what we want, as long as we Don't do anything wrong, let's see if they can still be mean?"

He Qing smiled, but these words were too unconventional, it is really not appropriate to say more, so she kept the accounts wholeheartedly.Seeing this in Chunxia, ​​she also stopped her thoughts and words.Liu Sanniang, who was in charge of the book shop, was the worst at counting. The two books in front of her hadn't started yet, and San'er had nothing to do to make the abacus.The two of them are in the same boat, and they won't be too far behind when they work together.

Only then did He Qing look at Zhuangzi's, and seeing that everyone was busy, he called the steward of the caravan that mainly shipped goods to answer in front of the door.The prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, even if you don't take the route, as long as you are diligent and send people to do errands, there are many new things in the neighborhood that can be traded for income.The person in charge returned to the trip and learned a lot, and mentioned that there are people in the capital who rely on the people in the palace to make huge profits in the middle.

It turned out that there was nothing wrong with going to other places.For example, North Korea has had friendly relations since the Western Han Dynasty, and diplomacy has flourished since the Ming Dynasty.If it can be done, it is naturally good.Seeing that He Qing had no words, the steward listened quietly. He felt that He Qing had heard it in his ears. Now he glanced at the ivory carving Sanyang Kaitai picture in front of the courtyard, and felt that rich people don't mind being rich. Get rich at the top, talk about it with your mouth, and the words make sense.

The reason is this, He Qing rubbed his forehead, and asked earnestly, "Since the 12th year of Emperor Taizong, there has been a ban on the sea, and since the opening of the sea today, the Nanyang area has been banned. You have everything ready to convince me, what is your plan?" one place?"

Mrs. Lou, in charge, heard that He Qing really softened his words, so he eased his thoughts and said eagerly, "It is North Korea, which is the closest to the capital. If you bring in some items from the capital, they will definitely be sought after. And if you look at exquisite and rare things, it will also promote the friendship between the two countries."

After Lou finished speaking, he only heard someone laugh softly inside.

He Qing glared at San'er, but she couldn't help laughing at Lou's last remark that was so grandiose.Lou's idea, within He Qing's expectation, is just, "This idea is good, but profiteering from it is not acceptable. After all, if there is no clear rules, there will inevitably be hidden dangers in the future, so it can't be like this." If there is anything else Things, depending on her status, I'm afraid she won't be able to get away with anything.

When Lou heard the words, he pleaded guilty quickly and asked He Qing for an idea.It is a good thing that the subordinates are willing to do things.Lou's is not his servant, but a businessman who has acquainted with Zhuangzi, relying on a bit of shrewdness and courage.He Qing didn't dislike Lou's words, but instead asked, "Since you have an idea and thought of something new, I have to ask you this time, what did you come up with?"

The Qing Dynasty was rich in pottery and white, with fine food and clothing, as well as the first-class four treasures of the study, such as playful jade, exquisite gold and silver, pure-colored stone tools, etc., all of which can be exported.Lou Shi naturally said everything, but recalled the caravan's recent payment, and said, "There are also exquisite flowers and plants, rice and grains, these things are the easiest to eat and see."

The things to play with are too expensive, Lou Shi will hold them back for now.He Qing frowned, and thought of something, "Everyone else is good, except Migu. The emperor banned Nanyang because Migu appeared too much or was bad. If possible, it would be good to give some seedlings .”

How did Lou Shi know this, his face turned pale and he quickly kowtowed in response.

He Qing asked a few more questions about this, but after thinking about it for a while, she didn't refuse in her heart, she just said, "If you go to the north, you have to agree with the Lifan Academy and the Ministry of Rites to get the regulations. North Korea has to go abroad again. At the bottom, we need to add a few capable people who are reliable in preparation. This is a serious matter that cannot be messed up. You should take a good look at this matter and make a serious plan next time."

Although he didn't agree, but he never refused, especially the words still need to be negotiated, Lou Shi was overjoyed and quickly thanked her.

Why is the emperor so decent?If one has the grace of the royal family, there will naturally be benefits that can only be obtained by these powers.If I work hard alone, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive such an errand in eight lifetimes.The less such things are successful, the more profitable it will be.Just like the silk back then, it is the same reason.

Lou's agreement was completed, and there were others to ask questions one by one.He Qing was so busy to the end, it was already Youshi.San'er stepped forward and rubbed He Qing's shoulders, but He Qing got up and stretched a long way, and then said with some energy, "Chun Xia walk with me."

Chun Xia pursed her lips and responded with a smile.

Because I am a married person, my husband's family is complete, and I have children.No matter how thoughtful Chun Xia is, she can't serve her like San'er.It's just that He Qing also thought about it, and simply let Chun Xia get the title of aunt, but transferred to deal with the manager and buy it.In this way, two of the five days were spent in front of He Qing.

Seeing that He Qing was not in good spirits, San'er was afraid that she would be lazy, so he simply helped He Qing to be more relaxed, "Everything is so busy, the master can't bear it, so you need to take care of yourself."

"That's right. Many people who look like masters have been sent back by the stewards. Just let people look at each other. There is no need for masters to work so hard." Chun Xia couldn't see He Qing like this.

But He Qing waved her hands and smiled foolishly, "The subordinates have also read it, especially some of the managers who make a living in the same business are not compatible with each other, so the method is considered good. But the master also needs to look at it. Look at me. How fast is the mental calculation? How many times do you not need to look at it, you know which ones you don’t need to look at, the most troublesome thing today is those businessmen, they have so many ideas and they have to discuss it, it’s really perfunctory.”

San'er shook his head, "Where is the master being perfunctory? It turned out that my wife said that the master was fussy when he was in the boudoir, but now it seems that it is not fake."

He Qing was taken aback, when did the Fucha family say such a thing?When thinking about what year she was studying in the boudoir, she smiled instead, "She didn't recognize me at that moment, so it was a lie."

"That's not true, Mrs. Sister-in-law said she heard from Mrs. Madam." San'er frowned and retorted.

He Qing was very helpless. Seeing San'er's temper, she could only explain to herself, "It's nothing, it's just an abacus every day, and after making troubles, I have to count the food when I see it. Is there pepper, star anise? Or what? For side dishes, if there are any, how many grains should be used, or how much oil. Thinking about the market price at that time, I wish that everything was written in the amount of silver."

Chun Xia hadn't heard of this before, so she couldn't help laughing a few times, "It can be seen that the master is really a serious person."

He Qing gave the two of them a blank look, looked at this moment suddenly, and asked San'er, "Did Fourth Master come back?"

"Not yet." San'er shook his head.

He Qing breathed a sigh of relief, she originally wanted to be courteous and order some food.It's just a pity that her face is a bit haggard, and she can't go by herself, but it's okay to let the slaves send her there when there is time.After reading this, He Qing suddenly raised one hand, twirled her fingers together, and said with a bulging air, "Go ask Chef Fang to make a bowl of porridge for the fourth master, remember to make a small soup cup, two spoons of round-grained rice , two spoonfuls of glutinous rice counts as an equal bowl, six red dates, and three taels of tripe is enough. Cook it slowly, and only add a big firewood once, and save the rest, so don't waste it!"

Chun Xia was startled, looked at San'er who was blushing, and asked absurdly, "Dare to ask master, how much money does this bowl cost?"

He Qing said like an old cliché, if there is a finger that seems to be nothing, "No more, no less, the servants who buy kitchen ingredients and send them are first-class, and there are firewood, pots and bowls of oil and water, which are just half the price."

Cianfujin's small kitchen is beyond the obvious, and all the food and food are tribute from the House of Internal Affairs. As long as his own kitchen is just a matter of doing it, it will cost half a penny?San'er frowned, looking at He Qing with admiration, her master is really powerful.I just don't know, can I ask the prince for this half-baked money?
