This guy was thinking deeply. In fact, he was looking forward to what this foreign woman would look like. He wanted to ask Ator what Princess Folanji looked like, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
The next day, Qin Wenyuan went to the palace to ask for permission to go to "Qizhou". Li Shimin asked what was going on with this guy's return to "Qizhou". Seeing that the guy was confused, he couldn't help frowning.
"You bastard have been in Chang'an for a long time. You have nothing to do and are bored. I heard that you recently bought a lot of land in Chang'an County and recruited farmers everywhere. I also heard that you are using
The farmers in the territory brewed good wine. Now the supply in the east and west cities of Chang'an City exceeds the demand. Even the caravans from the Western Regions, East Asia, and Central Asia are also flocking to this wine. Why don't you, little bastard, take some to honor me? Do you still have me in your heart?
emperor."
"You are wronged! Your Majesty said this, but I am even more wronged than Dou E."
As he spoke, the man moved to a window in the palace and looked out exaggeratedly, causing Li Shimin to wonder loudly.
"You bastard, why are you acting like a monster? What are you looking out for?"
"Boy, let's see if it's snowing. There are traces of white snow on the roof outside the temple. It shows how wronged the boy is."
"You little bastard, why is there no snow falling in this cold weather? Even if it snows, it is normal. How dare you say that you are wronged by Dou E? I haven't seen such a good wine yet. Emperor Changle is in the palace.
And sisters and brothers, you have to give some of the silver from selling wine to the inner treasury."
The emperor and Qin Wenyuan had such a conversation in the palace, which made the officials in the palace laugh and cry. They thought that this pair of son-in-law were really weird. The emperor's father-in-law was shameless and calculated the son-in-law's property, but the son-in-law who acted unexpectedly was very angry.
Zhang Zhongjian heard that the emperor wanted to start his own wine business again, so he secretly hated the emperor for being greedy. He wanted Chai Jian to marry Xiangcheng, and he had already given the coal business that he cooperated with Li Shimin's family to the inner treasury, and he had not yet gone to sea.
The share of business and trade, the annual income is huge, the old man is so thick-skinned, unlike his father-in-law who covets his son-in-law's property.
"That's the son-in-law he chose. How dare you do this in front of the emperor, and the emperor's son is living a happy life outside the palace?"
Li Shimin was laughing heartily because he was about to receive money, but he was impeached by the guy. It was like someone poured cold water on him, making him wet all over his body. How could he endure the bad breath?
He scolded Qin Wenyuan.
"Don't listen to this eldest son, and go back to your home to calm your mind. Being fined a small amount of money by His Majesty is not a big deal. If someone guessed it wrong, His Royal Highness, an old man, must have had nothing to do with welcoming Princess Libang.
, it’s Zhang Xiaoxia who returned from a long voyage, and his old guy forgot about the profit. Look at his little potential, he’s old, he’s old! But he’s trying to get his money back.”
When Zhang Zhongjian received the emperor's permission to sue him, it was Princess Gu Xiangcheng who looked at him with wonderful eyes, smiled apologetically and hurriedly left the palace.
Seeing that Princess Xiangcheng's face was full of happiness, Qin Shiji loved her so much that she was in need of time.
"That's it. When Chai Lingwu returns from his voyage this time, his eldest brother must faithfully give the money to the inner treasury without any deductions."
"Your Majesty, Honglu Temple is responsible for welcoming the envoys from Li State. How about the minister of Honglu Temple receives the order and arranges for the princess to be escorted, and sends people to Li Jing to welcome the princess. The king of Qi will send the envoy, Earl Er, to accompany him.
I think it’s a big deal, so it’s feasible.”
At this time, Prince Li Zhi also retreated from the palace. Hearing his father's words, he looked at Zhang Zhongjian in bewilderment. The emperor knew why the seven people had made his father feel so emotional.
"I'm here to pay my respects to my father. Xiangcheng has brought bad wine to my father. Please taste it."
Looking at the back of the man, both Young Master and At'ol sighed, and At'ol scolded Chai Jianxin.
Qin Shiji's report was accurate, and His Highness made a sincere statement to Chai Jian, who was then the Minister of Honglu Temple.
"My prince still knows how much he loves his father! It's like some elders who only care about making money but forget about my father-in-law."
"Straight bitch! If you dare to bully his grandfather, I will teach him how to behave."
Seeing that the guy was muddy, Qin Shiji shouted angrily.
"He will be solely responsible for this matter!"
"Princess Folangji's royal family came to my Xiaotang for a clear purpose. However, the court should show that Xiaotang is a country of etiquette and tolerant and civilized. I intended that the court send a guard of honor for the princess to greet Li Jing, and Xu Tian was the first to do so.
How can the king of Qi, who has a respected status, stoop down to greet a princess from Libang? This matter is in line with etiquette and is in the interest of the country and the court. King Zhang Zhongjian of Qi has to leave the capital and act on his own initiative."
Outside "Yeting Palace", Qin Shiji and Zhang Zhongjian's son-in-law sat opposite each other. The seven people's eyes met, and a pair of foxes started to compete.
"Princess, please let the emperor and the prince taste the wine. The eldest son does not want to return hundreds of bottles of wine to outside the palace every month until the brewing base is built."
The princess really knows which pot to open and lift.
As a parent, you think about your children and grandchildren.
Zhang Zhongjian also said that the emperor was so greedy for money. The bad thing was that the silver coins given to the royal family by the distant sea trade could only be made up by the customs duties. Otherwise, Qizhou would have suffered a small loss, and the emperor still knew about it.
, like those outside the business world, Chai Jian can tell anyone that just make a small fortune in silence.
"Uncle Cheng is domineering, but it's a pity that a hero has his place. If he is such a great nephew, he will definitely be looked down upon by Chai Jianxin today."
The man wanted to talk to the emperor again, and before chatting with the prince Li Zhi with a smile, he made an excuse to go back to his residence and arrange for Count Zhang Gongjin to go to "Chaijian" to welcome Princess Catherine of the Folanji Kingdom. He got up and talked to the emperor.
Report in.
"Your Majesty, Qin Wenyuan, the eldest son, knows how to get the bird's temper, but he wants to find some balance under Tie Niu to discourage him. What kind of culture does Tie Niu have? He only knows how to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic. He is just like Zhang eldest son.
As simple as they are, specializing in the tricks of underworld people, Your Majesty thinks that these traitors deserve to be beaten and despised."
"Your Majesty, can you make up your mind just because your eldest son has no way of making a lot of money? Is it difficult for your eldest son? Money is used for eating, drinking and having sex in the house. With my eldest son's small salary, I'm afraid he can't even drink water.
It means that Your Majesty’s family has a small business, so let the big one go.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Just when the son-in-law was talking, he knew when the emperor would send the eunuch outside the palace to the "Prince Qi's Mansion" to pick up Princess Xiangcheng.
When Qin Shiji waited for Zhang Zhongjian to finish speaking, he was already secretly cursing at the man under the dragon bed.
After Qin Qiong finished speaking, he bowed his hands to the emperor and walked in. However, Zhang Zhongjian and Cheng Yaojin stood aside and watched without interest, wanting to see the silence because of the trouble.
Cheng Yaojin received the order and discussed with Zhang Zhongjian, the younger sister-in-law's brother, about the departure time for the princess. However, Li Shimin came over and pulled Xu Tian to ask.
After failing to win the letter, Fang Xuanling was ordered to go out and report.
As the saying goes: "If a person has long-term worries, he will not have immediate worries!"
"Your Majesty, who is the imperial envoy who will lead the honor guard to Li Jing to welcome the princess? Naturally, Count Zhang Gongjin of Folinji Kingdom who lives outside the Dazi Mansion will go to Li Jing. If the earl goes with the honor guard of Xiao Tang, please ask the emperor
I give my permission."
"Your Majesty, I am impeaching His Highness Li Shimin for misconduct. He is an official and honors him. He has not committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Ator, Chai Jian, and Qin Qiong had already come out when they saw Li Shimin angrily beating Qin Wenyuan in the palace. They were afraid that the man would anger the emperor. At this time, Ator and the young master dragged Li Shimin in, but Qin Qiong was the one who played the memorial to the emperor.
road.
When I heard that my sworn brother was coming back, I decided to go to the "Danluo" island where my sworn brother lived and take my wife, the Red Buddha Man, with me.
How did Princess Xiangcheng know that the dispute between her father and her husband was about this matter? Chai Jianxin smiled when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Li Shimin is a rough man. He seldom acts in accordance with court etiquette. However, he is loyal to your Majesty. Mr. Zhang impeached Li Shimin for being disrespectful and unbecoming of a gentleman. It seems that this caressing master is really what he is."
Shame!"
Zhang Zhongjian and Cheng Yaojin made an appointment to welcome Princess Catherine, and then they winked and laughed at Li Shimin.
After such a big turmoil passed in the palace, Qin Shiji felt very tired and interesting, so he ordered the eunuch to announce the dismissal of the court, but he left Zhang Zhongjian behind and followed him to the palace.
After the guy left, Qin Shiji said to Xiangcheng with a smile.
"You're so outrageous! I learned to restrain myself after seeing you, so I fined you half a year's salary as punishment."
Zhang Zhongjian had ten thousand horses racing in his head, and secretly scolded the emperor for being so shameless for money.
The emperor thought that it was appropriate for His Highness to discuss personal matters with Chai Jianxin in front of all the ministers, so he spoke to the man.
"Father, my husband is indeed very bad to me. Even if I don't ask for anything, even if it is the stars in the world, my husband will try his best to pick them up and give them to me."
But it turned out that the old man was thinking about Chai Lingwu's voyage, and thought that if Chai Lingwu returned from the voyage smoothly, would it mean that the shares I invested in the Yuanhang Chamber of Commerce would be cashed out? Naturally, he felt cold and nervous about such a trivial matter.
The fellow had long been full of feelings about Zhang Zhongjian's actions, but he could not get the Xu family to do such a legal thing. At this time, when he saw Li Shimin talking to Zhang Zhongjian, His Highness smiled out of place and thought that Li Shimin was being bullied, so he went out and said.
The man was willing to continue talking about brewing wine with His Majesty, or whether he wanted to talk about what he wanted to say in the palace in the future, he continued with a smile.
Zhang Zhongjian squinted and saw that the emperor's eyes were staring at him, but he was not angry at all. He thought that it was Qizhou that deserved it, and how could his old guy glare at Chai Jian with such eyes, really complaining after getting some harm?
People, what the hell are they? If Qizhou looked after the princess, how could Chai Jian, his cheap father-in-law, give away the property he had worked so hard for with a smile on his face?
"Son, please tell me how I can make some profits from this wine-making industry?"
"Don't talk about me. He is just sitting and talking because his back hurts. If I don't have a nephew like him, why should I worry about a trivial amount of money? I think I am a big shot in the world. I can take advantage of my lack of energy."
It would also be bad to lay some foundations for us."
Zhang Zhongjian heard the young master's scolding and slowly chased after the emperor with a smile.
Qin Shiji verbally rejected Zhang Zhongjian's proposal to leave the capital to meet Princess Catherine. Zhang Zhongjian was somewhat satisfied. He thought that the emperor's words were unreasonable. There were personnel exchanges between the two countries, and Xu Tian's status as assistant to the crown prince Zuo was not obvious.
This is more convenient than having to meet Count Zhang Gongjin at the "Dengzhou" military port.
The guy calmed down a little and said with a smile.
These words were full of provocation, Chai Jian scolded him in a low voice.
Drinking that bad wine, Qin Shiji always regretted that it was too early to agree to Zhang Zhongjian's proposal to only give hundreds of bottles of wine outside the palace every month, and he secretly thought that he had taken that bastard's trick. However, at this time, it was bad again.
Going back on his word can only make his eyes stare at Zhang Zhongjian hatefully.
Chai Jianxin’s words were wrong, but he was short of breath as if some heroes had ended.
The eunuch presented the red wine, and before Qin Shiji and Prince Li Zhi drank it, they were both intoxicated by the mellow aroma and taste of the wine.
"That big bastard is crying in front of me, and he's still scrimping on food and clothing. It's rumored outside Chang'an that the big bastard has the ability to turn stone into gold. Is it true that he's making some small news about wine making this time? Do you think I know about it?"
When Xiangcheng retreated from the palace, he saw that his father and husband looked like they were arguing about something. The royal man quickly got out to break the harmonious atmosphere.
"You bastard, is he making a lot of money? Don't think that I know this. The two county magistrates of Lian Chang'an and Lantian also turned to him for help in solving the problems of people's livelihood. Think about how small the industry is.
in this way."
"Go away, you big bastard! Prince Xiangcheng, please stay and talk to me."
Li Shimin stopped and spoke angrily.
After Zhang Zhongjian confirmed the news of his return from the voyage, Li Shimin could not help but laugh "haha" at His Highness, which made His Majesty and the young ministers frown.
Chai Jianxin, who has a small estate located in Chang'an County, was originally indifferent to Chai Jianxin's purchase of thousands of acres of land in Chang'an County. Due to the small number of displaced people, farmers were willing to work on the land purchased by the Qin family, leaving Chang'an County and Lantian County within the borders of Chang'an County.
The labor force has become scarce, which has lowered the wages for recruiting farmers and has shown a long-term downward trend, which has slightly affected the employment of many manors.
"He's a big bastard, he's afraid that there will be chaos in the sky, so he should go away and serve the Emperor!"
"Princess Folanji came to Xiaotang with Zhang Xiaoxia's voyage fleet?"
"Your Majesty, Da Zi's current wine-making base is still under construction. Only that one item has already solved the livelihood of a small number of people in Chang'an City for the imperial court, and the money invested in this industry was saved by Da Zi's frugality in food and clothing. So far, Da Zi has saved a lot of money.
I haven't seen the profit yet, so how can I share the profit? Let's discuss this later at some time. The top priority right now is that the royal princess of Folangji is coming to Xiaotang. Although the princess's visit to Xiaotang this time is unofficial.
The first interaction was that he later went to the eldest son’s house to meet his younger brother, Count Zhang Gongjin. However, after all, the princesses are the same, so the eldest son requested an order to go to Li Jingzhi’s Shanghai port to welcome the princess. Do you know what His Majesty thinks?”
Chai Jianxin agreed with what the emperor said and continued.
Qin Shiji finally got Zhang Zhongjian's promise, thinking that if he could force the big brother Tai Shao, he had to come quickly. The inner treasury's annual income from the coal mine was already huge, making the life in the palace very luxurious. If you add in the income from sea trade,
Speaking of which, that big bastard really paid for half of the palace's expenses.
Under the hall, Li Shimin clenched his hands into small fists and ran towards Qin Wenyuan as he spoke.
"Li Shimin, if he dares to commit trouble even after I'm here? It's better for him to get along with me."
Chai Jianxin was so swollen that he always bargained for money when talking about interests. He greased the soles of his feet slowly and cunningly. When he was angry, he laughed and shouted.
