Xue Bian is the nephew of Aunt Xue, the cousin of Xue Pan and Xue Baochai, and the brother of Xue Baoqin.
The father of brothers Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin was also an imperial merchant, with business all over the country, and he liked to travel around the world with his family.
According to the trajectory of the original work, just this year, Xue Bian's father asked Xue Baoqin to get married to Mei Hanlin's son Mei Wenhe, and he will die of illness next year, and then two years later, Xue Bian will take Xue Baoqin to Beijing to get married.
Being favored by Jia Mu, she met the golden hairpins of Rongguo Mansion. Aunt Xue told Xue Biao that she was married to Xing Xiuyan...
Xue Biao is a person with excellent appearance, character and talents. He is a rare positive character in the original work. Jia Baoyu once commented on him: "Who knew that Sister Bao's brother was like that? Her uncle and brother behaved differently.
They are the same, they look like sisters Bao's brothers."
Xue Baochai married Jia Yun as the princess, which was of course a very important matter for the Xue family. Xue Biao's father and son, Xue Biao, came to Shenjing City specially for this purpose and participated in the whole process of Jia Yun and Jia Yun's marriage.
Xue Baochai's wedding included today's wedding ceremony in Guining.
Today, when Jia Yun came to Xue Mansion and summoned Xue Pan, Jia Zheng and Jia Lian in the main hall, he also summoned Xue Pan's father, Xue Pan. Moreover, after he asked Xue Pan to see Xue Baochai, he then asked Xue Pan
Father, Xue Biao went to see Xue Baochai.
Jia Yun did this not only because he knew that Xue Baochai also wanted to meet Xue Ban's father, Xue Ban, but also because he had already begun to win over Xue Ban. He had long planned to rectify the Xue family after he and Xue Baochai got married, and Xue Ban
It was of great use to him in this matter.
Yun Chai and his wife had strict restrictions on the time they could spend this time visiting Xue Mansion. They arrived at Xue Mansion in the morning, but could not stay in Xue Mansion longer than noon.
At the inner courtyard of the West Road, Xue Baochai met Xue Pan, then met Xue Pan's father, Xue Pan, who was arranged by Jia Yun, and then took the female family members to eat the banquet arranged by the Xue Mansion.
At the same time, Jia Yun also had a banquet with Xue Pan, Xue Pan's father, Xue Pan, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian and others on Fushang Middle Road.
After Xue Baochai finished the banquet, he returned to the main hall in the middle road. Immediately, Jia Yun and Xue Baochai distributed rewards to everyone.
The rewards given to Aunt Xue are the largest, including palace satin, palace silk, gold and silver coins, etc. The rewards given to Xue Pan include precious ink, gold jue, silver jue, etc. Xue Pan's father, Xue Pan,
The scorpions and the people in the Xue Mansion also had their own rewards. The people in the Rongguo Mansion also had their own rewards.
All the rewards together amounted to less than ten thousand taels of silver. To Jia Yun, this was just a ceremonial process that highlighted the royal family's pomp.
Everyone who received the reward thanked them one after another. Jia Yun and Xue Baochai then left Xue's Mansion and returned to Prince Zhongwu's Mansion, ending their trip to Ning.
In the original book, at the end of Yuanchun's wedding ceremony, Yuanchun, Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others burst into tears. This time, Jia Yun and Xue Baochai did not have such a situation. At the end, although Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were in tears, they still cried.
The gains are limited, because Jia Yun has spoken, and Xue Baochai can often go home to visit her in the future. She is happy to return to Ning today, and there is no need to worry about separation.
…
…
afternoon.
Xue Baochai, who had already changed into regular clothes, came to Wu'an Hall from Huixiu Hall, and walked to the door of Jia Yun's inner study. She saw Jia Yun sitting at the big desk and looking at something seriously. After hesitating, she was about to walk away, not wanting to
Despite disturbing Jia Yun, she was still seen by Xiang Ling standing in the study. Xiang Ling saluted as usual and said hello: "I've met the princess!"
Jia Yun looked at Xue Baochai at the door and smiled slightly: "Princess, come in."
Xue Baochai then walked in and bowed in front of Jia Yun. Jia Yun immediately asked her to sit next to her. Xue Baochai smiled and said, "My lord, have I disturbed you?"
Jia Yun smiled and said: "No, I was just preparing to take a rest."
Xue Baochai saw a large map spread out on the desk and asked curiously: "What is the prince looking at this time?"
Jia Yun said calmly: "I'm looking at the map in the northeast."
Xue Baochai immediately realized something: "Is the prince going to the north to suppress the rebellion?"
Jia Yun said calmly: "Although I have not received the imperial order yet, I am thinking that it will not be long before such an imperial order is issued."
After a pause, Jia Yun said softly: "Princess, you and I have just got married. At this time, I really want to spend more time with you and enjoy the happiness of husband and wife with you. However, there is a war in the country. Really, my father is going to send
When I go on an expedition, whether it is for my father or the country, I will do it without any hesitation. If I really have to go on an expedition, I can only apologize to the princess."
Just the day before yesterday, Cao Wu was about to return to the Chang'an camp after his rest. He came to the palace to meet Jia Yun. During this period, Cao Wu revealed to Jia Yun that according to Cao Wei's news, Emperor Tianzhi had planned to send Jia Yun to lead Chang'an.
The camp went to put down the rebellion of the Shui family of the Qing Dynasty.
Xue Baochai was not depressed when he heard this. He looked at Jia Yun tenderly and said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to apologize to me for this matter. I can understand that if the prince is really about to go out to suppress the rebellion, although I will be reluctant and worried, I will also
I feel proud because my concubine’s husband is not only a very noble prince, but also a very capable general.”
Jia Yun smiled with satisfaction and then said: "Princess, you came at the right time. I have something to discuss with you."
Xue Baochai smiled brightly: "What do you have to discuss with me, Your Majesty?"
Jia Yun solemnly said: "Since the princess has passed through my door, in my heart, I regard your family as my own. I want to help your family and make your family better. It will be beneficial to the princess and me."
"
Xue Baochai's eyes suddenly lit up. You must know that Aunt Xue and her had long thought that Jia Yun could help the Xue family when she passed the door. She had also long thought that Jia Yun could help discipline Xue Pan...
In her opinion, this kind of thing is annoying Jia Yun. She originally planned to find an opportunity to say this to Jia Yun again in a few months or even one or two years, after her relationship with Jia Yun deepened as a couple.
, she didn’t expect that Jia Yun would take the initiative to propose such a thing now, which was really a big surprise for her.
In fact, Jia Yun wants to help the Xue family. Although there is a reason to care for Xue Baochai, the main reason is to benefit himself. As he said, the Xue family is getting better, which is beneficial to him. He has even planned for a long time.
Borrowing the Xue family's property...
Xue Baochai gave a great gift to Jia Yun and said gratefully: "Your Majesty is willing to help the Xue family, which is a great blessing for the Xue family and a great blessing for my concubine."
Jia Yun stood up and stepped forward to help Xue Baochai up. After the two sat down again, Xue Baochai asked: "I just don't know how the prince plans to help?"
Jia Yun said: "I think the princess should know better than me. Since your father passed away, your family's business has fallen on your brother. Over the years, your family's business has suffered a lot of losses under your brother's care.
"
"I'm thinking that these many losses are mainly due to two reasons. First, your brother is of limited age and has limited ability. He likes to eat, drink and have fun. Second, your family's business bureau, general manager, and clerk in each province
Many of these people are greedy and have deceived your family severely. Even several shops in Shenjing City have been corrupted a lot."
Xue Baochai said: "Your Majesty is right. In fact, I have always thought this way. I have also asked my brother to reorganize the shops in various provinces several times, and to check all the business operators, general managers, clerks, etc.
It's just that my brother didn't want to do this, and my mother doted on him, so the matter was settled."
Jia Yun nodded: "If your family wants to get better, you must take the right medicine. First, find a capable person to take care of the family business for your brother. I heard the princess talk about the Xue scorpion incident before. Today I am accompanying the princess to Guining.
I also went out of my way to talk to Xue Biao."
"Xue Biao has good conduct, is a talented merchant, and is your cousin. It is most suitable for him to manage your family's family business on your brother's behalf. Of course, your brother cannot become a hand-off manager just because of this.
If so, he may be even more addicted to pleasure than before."
Jia Yun then explained in depth to Xue Baochai what he meant, which means that if the Xue family business is compared to a company, Xue Pan will be the general manager from now on, Xue Pan will be the boss and deputy general manager, and Xue Pan will have the management rights of the company.
Biggest, followed by Xue Pan. In terms of income, Xue Pan only gets a high salary and a little dividend.
Xue Baochai, the princess, is equivalent to the role of the chairman. If Xue Bian does not perform well, Xue Baochai can fire Xue Bian.
After hearing this, Xue Baochai felt that this method was very good. She believed in Xue Biao's character, and now that she was the princess, how could Xue Biao dare to occupy her family's property?
Xue Baochai paused and said: "Xue Biao's character and talents are both good, but he is young. If he grows a few years older in a few years, he will be very suitable."
Xue Biao is indeed young now, a little younger than Xue Baochai, otherwise he wouldn't be Xue Baochai's cousin.
Jia Yun said: "Although he is a little young, I am thinking that Xue Biao is a precocious and precocious man. He has traveled all over the world with his father in these years and has extraordinary experience. Let him take over your family business. This matter has been long ago."
It won't be too late, I will let Cheng Huanian help him more in the first few years."
Xue Baochai felt relieved after hearing this. She knew something about Cheng Huanian. When she and Jia Yun got married, the person who sent the most gifts was Cheng Huanian, who gave him a gift worth twenty thousand taels. She also knew that Jia Yun had always
He is doing business in partnership with Cheng Huanian. It can also be said that Cheng Huanian has always been in charge of Jia Yun's business.
Jia Yun said again: "I will also ask Cheng Huanian to help discipline your brother. I think it should be a benefit to your brother. If your brother dares to be disrespectful to Cheng Huanian, I will call your brother into the palace and reprimand him. Don't feel bad for the princess then."
.”
Xue Baochai hurriedly said: "If this is the case, it is too late for me to be grateful, how can I feel distressed?"
Jia Yun continued: "This is the first one. The second one is to rectify your shops in various provinces, including several shops in Shenjing City, and check all the business contractors, general managers, and clerks. Keep the good ones for envoys.
The good ones will be compensated and expelled. In addition, there must be some people who have left your house after being corrupted. These people will also be found and investigated. If anyone is found to be corrupted, let them make amends."
"I have already planned how to do this. I plan to send some guards from the palace, and then find Cheng Huanian to borrow a shopkeeper who is loyal, reliable and good at accounting. Xue Biao will lead this group of people from your house.
Start checking several shops in Shenjing City, and it will take one or two years to check all your shops in various provinces."
With Xue Biao leading the team, a loyal and reliable shopkeeper who is good at finance, and some guards from Prince Zhongwu's palace, this inventory should be able to be completed.
Xue Baochai once again paid a great tribute to Jia Yun and said: "Your Majesty's arrangement must be appropriate. I have troubled Your Majesty in this matter. I am very grateful."
She is smart and knows that Jia Yun's arrangement is really good for the Xue family.
She knew that if Jia Yun did not help the Xue family, even if the Xue family had a princess like her, it would still continue to decline, and she was worried that Xue Pan would become more and more unruly in the future, ruining the reputation of the Xue family and Jia Yun.
, and even cause disaster.
According to Jia Yun's arrangement, the Xue family's family business will not only improve quickly, but Xue Pan will also have the discipline of Jia Yun and Cheng Huanian.
Jia Yun said: "Tomorrow I will summon your mother, your brother, and your cousin to the palace, and I will tell them about this together with you."
Xue Baochai nodded: "This matter is entirely up to the prince."
Jia Yun felt relieved in her heart.
First of all, I was pleased with Xue Baochai's intelligence and obedience to his words. I was also pleased that once the Xue family got better, there would be a huge amount of property that he could borrow.
The Jia family, the Wang family, the Xue family, and the Shi family are four big families from Jinling. Among these four families, the richest are the Jia family and the Xue family. When the Xue family was the richest, their wealth exceeded
One million taels of silver, more than the Jia family.
According to Jia Yun's understanding, the Xue family's property is no longer very large. Excluding the dowry worth 160,000 taels of silver given to Xue Baochai, the remaining family property is estimated to be worth only three or four hundred thousand taels of silver.
Jia Yun estimated that as long as he thoroughly inspected all the Xue family's shops and asked the corrupt business owners, managers, and clerks to pay compensation, he should be able to save two to three hundred thousand taels of silver, and let Xue Biao take charge of the Xue family's business.
With Cheng Huanian's help, Jia Yun and Cheng Huanian disciplined Xue Pan again, and the Xue family's wealth should be able to exceed one million again.
One million taels of silver, this is really a huge amount of property. For Jia Yun, who has long been ambitious to seize the throne, this property should be of great use.
Of course, Jia Yun doesn't want to seize the Xue family's property. He just plans to borrow it. Once he successfully seizes the throne and becomes emperor, with his ability, it will be easy to make money. Let alone a million taels, even tens of millions of taels.
, it is not difficult for him to repay it, and if he uses Xue Baochai's dowry in the future, he will naturally have to repay it.
If he fails to seize the throne in the future, well, the result will be very bad.
Jia Yun is already reminding herself that once she seizes the throne, she can only succeed and cannot fail, just like Jing Zhanyao will remind herself that once she rebels, she can only succeed and cannot fail...
