Chapter 012 The old man is rich

Although Jiang Baoshan did not have an official position, he entered the palace many times. The reason... was naturally because he had a daughter who was the most favored concubine in the harem.

Some rules no longer become rules.

However, in the past, it was Concubine Jiang who missed her father, so Emperor Yang Yongning found an excuse to bring Jiang Baoshan into the palace so that father and daughter could reunite as a family.

Did Jiang Baoshan ever offer to go to the palace to meet the saint?

Emperor Yongning thought about it and found that he did not have this impression. So, what reason did Jiang Baoshan have to enter the palace now?

At this time, Jiang Baoshan had knelt down in the palace to pay his respects: "The common people have seen the emperor. May the emperor be blessed and safe, long live, long live!"

"No need to be polite, get up quickly and give me a seat!" Emperor Yongning said with a smile and motioned to the servants to bring the brocade stool.

Jiang Baoshan pretended to decline and then sat down.

He is very tall and has a majestic appearance. Even when he is sitting on the brocade stool, he has a strong aura and looks like a military general guarding one side.

Who would have thought that he was a businessman?

One of the three great imperial merchants of the Dade Dynasty, the richest man in Yongning was none other than the Jiang family, headed by Jiang Baoshan.

Every time Emperor Yongning saw Jiang Baoshan, he couldn't help but wonder: A businessman should look kind and kind in order to be able to attract wealth from all directions. How could a person with an evil face like Jiang Baoshan do business?

However, it was in his hands that the Jiang family prospered and went from being at the bottom to becoming the top of the three imperial merchants.

People who can do this should never be underestimated!

Emperor Yongning's face became gentler and gentler, and he looked at Jiang Baoshan with a smile, trusting and close to him.

Jiang Baoshan raised his head and looked at Emperor Yongning, showing a hint of gratitude at the right time, but actually he felt unhappy.

If it were among the people, it would be Emperor Yongning who would pay him respects. However, Emperor Yongning is the Son of Heaven.

They only talk about monarch and ministers, how can there be a son-in-law?

He always kept in mind that the man in front of him was the emperor, not his son-in-law.

Even if this person now holds Zhao'er in the palm of his hand and dotes on him, he doesn't dare to take it lightly.

The supreme honor and unparalleled favor are given by the emperor. You cannot refuse them, and you cannot really ask for them.

As a businessman, Jiang Baoshan knows one thing very well: you can take back what others give you at any time.

What's more, the person who gave it was an emperor?

Fortunately, Zhaoer has always understood this and has been very good at it over the years, even allowing his granddaughter to leave the palace and open a mansion.

Once you leave the palace and open a mansion, you will have freedom. Only then can you truly accumulate strength and gradually own your own things.

These are truly yours and cannot be taken away easily by others!

After Jiang Baoshan and his daughter Jiang Zhao thought carefully, the move they decided on was about to be implemented, which made him relax a lot.

In addition, his old wife has been very ill recently, and he is busy taking care of her illness, so he has no more energy to pay attention to the situation in the palace.

Suddenly, he received a request from his daughter to let him enter the palace, which shocked him.

It turned out that something happened to the princess at the palace banquet. As a precaution and to ensure that his granddaughter could leave the palace and open the palace as scheduled, he had to go to the palace to meet the saint.

While Jiang Baoshan was waiting for a reply from the palace, he repeatedly thought about what to say, so he said: "Your Majesty, the common people came to the palace this time because they have the audacity to ask for a favor from the Emperor."

Emperor Yongning did not expect Jiang Baoshan to be so direct and asked with a smile: "Oh? Let's talk about it."

"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess is about to leave the palace and open a mansion. After much thought, the common people have nothing to celebrate Her Majesty. Only the family has a small amount of money, so they are willing to provide three years of expenses for Princess Changding's mansion.

There is no limit to the amount, please allow the emperor’s permission.”

Emperor Yongning understood clearly that Jiang Baoshan had come to send money to his granddaughter.

Three years of expenses required, no limit on the amount, what a big statement!

However, how much expenditure can be spent on a princess mansion? With the financial resources of the Jiang family, they can certainly make a promise.

Although the treasury is not overflowing now, Emperor Yongning cannot afford to support a mere princess's palace. Jiang Baoshan said this, which really slapped Emperor Yongning in the face.

Really bold!

Emperor Yongning was not angry. He still looked at Jiang Baoshan with a smile and said, "Besides that, what else is there?"

He knew that Jiang Baoshan loved Concubine Jiang's youngest daughter the most. Even if he really wanted to support Princess Changding's palace, he would still give her money in private. Why did he go to the palace to say such words?

"Well, I really can't hide it from your Majesty..." Jiang Baoshan laughed sarcastically, and then said: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Princess is golden and beautiful, and the Emperor will protect your Majesty, but the common people only have one daughter and only one granddaughter... No matter what, they are worried in their hearts.

.”

so what?

The smile on Emperor Yongning's lips deepened, and he nodded to signal Jiang Baoshan to continue.

"Your Majesty, for the safety of Your Highness the Princess, we sincerely beg...please Your Majesty to provide the Princess Mansion with two rates. The Emperor will not have to worry about the cost."

Emperor Yongning's smile suddenly disappeared. He stared at Jiang Baoshan and said slowly: "Jiang Baoshan, what did you say?"

Two troops are four thousand soldiers. Now the East Palace is only equipped with ten troops. How dare a Princess Changding Mansion ask for two troops?

Moreover, I don’t need to worry about the two-rate fee. The implication is that the Jiang family will bear it.

An ordinary man dares to reward the emperor's army, Jiang Baoshan, how brave he is!

How dare he? Just because of my love for Concubine Jiang? Haha.

Jiang Baoshan stood up immediately, knelt down in the palace again, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, calm down! It's the common people who are wrong! The common people want to... After Her Highness the Princess leaves the palace, I sincerely ask Her Highness the Princess to enter the Huitong Hall. There is no charge."

Worried."

He knelt down and lowered his head. Emperor Yongning could only see the top of his head, but could not see anything.

In fact, Emperor Yongning's heart was beating rapidly at this moment. Even if Jiang Baoshan raised his head and showed his face, he could not tell his true mood.

Emperor Yongning was silent for a moment, and then said to Jiang Baoshan: "Get up. Do you want Xiaojiu to enter Huitong Hall?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please allow Your Majesty!" Jiang Baoshan stood up as instructed, and when he sat down, he glanced at the ground.

There should be no need to kneel down for the third time today...

Emperor Yongning also looked at Jiang Baoshan and asked, "Huitong Hall is so important. Xiaojiu is only fifteen years old. How can he be able to enter Huitong Hall?"

Huitongtang is the core of the Jiang family. It has always been the head of the Jiang family who can take charge. Now the person in charge of Huitongtang is Jiang Baoshan.

I heard that there is also a Huitong Order, which can order all the Jiang family's businesses, collect all the Jiang family's money, and invite other imperial merchants to help.

Emperor Yongning sent people to inquire several times, but no one had seen the rumored Huitong Order.

Most of this Huitong Order is fake, but Huitongtang does exist.

Those who enter the Huitong Hall are either the future heads of the Jiang family, such as Jiang Baoshan’s eldest son Jiang Hui, or subordinates who rely on the Jiang family as his right-hand man, such as the Jiang family’s golden emblem shopkeeper Sang Yinghe...
