Unfortunately, the new emperor failed to marry Wu Xingniang back in the end.
It's not because of Wu Xingniang's reputation.
After all, when it is calculated that the annual income of Female City is equal to half of the national treasury's tax revenue, reputation is no longer important.
This is just the money Nvcheng made in Wei.
I heard that the Wei Dynasty had countless imported goods, and now even Hu merchants and feudal merchants came from thousands of miles away to ask for goods.
Due to the remote location of Women's Town, some smart businessmen acted as middlemen.
Just the price difference alone is enough to make a lot of money.
The reason why the new emperor did not marry Wu Xingniang was simply because he could not find a chance to send a message to Wu Xingniang.
Wu Xingniang is the late emperor's sister. Unless the two of them reach a consensus in private, his desire to marry her back must not be revealed to the public.
Therefore, the new emperor could only send his eunuchs to go to the female city with one hundred thousand taels of silver to meet people in the name of purchasing.
It's a pity that the one hundred thousand taels of silver were spent, and the eunuch who passed the order didn't even see Jin Qing's shadow.
They were placed in the trading area, and because they couldn't tell what they wanted to buy, the traders from Women's City forcibly packed up a bunch of goods and sent them out of Women's City.
On the way back to the city, the eunuch who delivered the order felt extremely emotional.
It is indeed a city for women, and everything is considered thoughtfully, from dry food, carriages, horse feed, to accompanying escorts.
Even the accounts are calculated clearly, making people feel that their one hundred thousand taels of silver were definitely not wasted.
These one hundred thousand taels of things entered the warehouse, which made the concubines in the harem extremely happy.
The new emperor just watched those things helplessly, and his concubines happily asked them to go away one by one.
In fact, although the emperor was rich all over the world, the world was so big that he needed money everywhere.
On the front line, there are military pay, food and grass, soldiers' armors and uniforms, and weapons and military supplies that are replaced every year.
These are real money.
In China, there is drought today and floods tomorrow.
dig river channels, build embankments
Dam, repair bridges and roads.
Whenever I open my eyes every day, I see officials making excuses to ask for money.
The new emperor was not willing to be an ordinary emperor. He always wanted to leave a mark in the history books.
So he worked hard, worked hard, and set an example.
In short, he tried all the actions of the wise kings who appeared in the history books before.
Unfortunately, in the end, the only thing he did was help the country save money.
The expenses of the harem were halved, and the monthly allowances from the queen to the concubines were all reduced.
It's not that he won't give it, he is still a majestic emperor after all, and he can't let his concubine's natal family help him raise a woman.
Therefore, these one hundred thousand taels of silver made him really uncomfortable for several days.
I also miss Women City a little more.
It's a place where you have to spend money just to enter.
If it were given to him, even if only the taxes were given to him, it would be enough for him to do a lot of things.
How can women manage such a place well?
He must have a way to force the other party to take the initiative to negotiate with him.
Although he couldn't overtly expropriate the female city, he could secretly cut off the female city's trade.
As a result, the new emperor began to secretly express his displeasure with the female city.
The ministers knew the emperor best, so they successfully spread their guesses to the officials of their own faction.
Then, these officials began to expressly imply that merchants were not allowed to trade with the Female City.
Unfortunately, businessmen value profits.
Four or five times the profit is enough for them to take risks.
Not to mention that the current profit has reached more than ten times.
I found that I couldn't control these businessmen and bandits all the way to Women's City.
The number of robbers suddenly increased.
I originally thought that as long as no one bought the goods from Nvcheng, they would have nothing to do.
Who would have thought that a few months later, a bodyguard agency would open in Nvcheng.
Specializes in helping merchants transport goods.
This time, Women's Town was the cashier.
They would help merchants deliver goods to a nearby safe city, and then exchange the goods for money.
The women hold a hidden weapon called a palm thunder in their hands. As long as they are thrown out, no matter how powerful the robber is, they will be blown to pieces.
Moreover, they also heard that Wu Xingniang, the lord of Nücheng, was very vengeful. If someone hurt someone from her Nücheng, she would chase him to the ends of the earth and send the whole family away.
But these are just rumors, and no one has personally experienced them, so there is no way to verify them.
Xiao Hei was eager to think about becoming emperor again, but unfortunately Jin Qing did not give him this opportunity.
After all, the emperor was just torturing his own people and didn't really do anything to the female city.
Most of the time, Jin Qing feels that he is a good citizen who obeys the law.
It's just that the good ones aren't so obvious.
After discovering that he couldn't defeat Nv Cheng's endless methods, the new emperor finally withered.
After all, now that businessmen make money, they also have to pay taxes.
Although it is not as good as the one in Nvcheng, it is still better than nothing.
After thinking about it, the new emperor began to place his hopes on Wu Xingniang's death.
Wu Xingniang was protected by an imperial edict, but others were not.
At that time, without the restriction of the late emperor's imperial edict, he did not believe that he could not conquer a place as big as the palm of his hand.
Recalling the past events of Women's City, the convoy began to head towards Women's City with all its strength.
It wasn't until the ground suddenly became wider under his feet that the escort quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though he knew that the female city was safe, he was still worried about escorting such a large sum of money.
Escorts from the female city
Although it is safe, the price is relatively expensive.
The escort was not from the female city, but he was familiar with this road and had some friendships with some of the staff in the female city.
That's why I often do some escort work.
And he spent a lot of money and promised to give 10% of the escort money to Nvcheng every time in the future, so he begged for a flag from Nvcheng's escort bureau.
Fortunately, the bandits did not dare to show their heads after seeing the flag of Female City, so they arrived at their destination safely.
Although I have seen the walls of the Female City countless times, my awe will never change.
It is said that the red powder in the cracks of the city wall is human blood.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a horn sound suddenly sounded above the female city.
As the horn sounded, several people with ropes tied around their necks were pushed off the city wall.
There were even faint sounds of crying in the city.
Then, the crying became louder and louder, and more than a dozen people were thrown out of the female city like garbage by the guards.
The host quickly raised his head and asked the escort what was going on.
Upon hearing the master's inquiry, the escort hurriedly rode over to inquire about the situation.
This girl's city is not a place you can enter casually.
You know, the treatment in Women's City is excellent.
Everyone can enjoy the dividends from the fleet as soon as they are born.
As long as you have enough money, you can rent a boat with the city's main palace.
After returning, they will have to pay 20% of the supplies on board to the city lord's palace as tax.
The other ten percent will be used as dividends for the owners of Female City.
The remaining 70% belongs to myself.
If you don’t have enough money, you can also rent a boat.
However, after the return trip, 70% of the cargo on the ship will belong to the city owner.
