Fang Xuanling was sitting in his official office, confused. He was worried that Qin Huaidao would do something stupid, and he was also worried that Li Er would kill him in anger. No matter who was harmed, it would be detrimental to the Tang Dynasty. His face was sad and he didn't have any tea.
Fragrant.
I don’t know how long it took, but when I saw Wang De coming in a hurry, I quickly got up and greeted him: “My lord, are you in the palace?”
Wang Gonggong is also a man, how could he not know what Fang Xuanling was thinking, and said with a smile: "Everything is fine in the palace. These are two imperial edicts drafted by the Holy One himself. They have been reviewed by the subordinates and have been brought to the Prime Minister for review. If there are no problems, there will be no problem."
Please use the seal, I am still waiting to deliver the order."
Fang Xuanling took the imperial edict and opened it and saw that it was actually the decree of the king. He changed the title of Qin Huaidao to the king of Han and granted him the land of a state. He was shocked. This was the treatment of a successor king or a prince, and Qin Huaidao was just a county king.
There are three levels of kings: county king, heir king, and prince.
The prince of the county can only occupy the land of one county. Although Qinjiazhuang was changed to Qin County, it is only one county. Its status is not as high as that of the county. Even the registered population is not as large as that of the lowest county. But now it has been changed to the land of one state.
, Holy lord, what’s going on?
Looking down, Hanzhou is named after the original Loulan, Ruoqiang and Qiemo Three Kingdoms in the Western Regions. It is not in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, but was conquered by Qin Huaidao himself, so there is no problem.
The territory he conquered did not require soldiers, soldiers or food from the imperial court. It would be good to give it to the imperial court. Why can't he give a reward? No one can stop it. Fang Xuanling was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he would actually conquer such a large territory after going out. As expected,
That's awesome. The dog at home should be beaten. I didn't say anything when I asked him last night. It was a waste of worry.
After reading the imperial edict, Fang Xuanling signed his name without hesitation, stamped it with the official seal and his own private seal. A formal, legal and authoritative imperial edict was completed.
Looking at another imperial edict, it actually requires the construction of a shrine for traitors, with stone carvings of traitors kneeling before the monument, and inscriptions on stone tablets to wake up future generations, making it impossible for traitors to stand up for generations to come. This is simply murderous and heart-breaking.
Needless to say, such a move was also Qin Huaidao's idea. Fang Xuanling somehow felt that this method was good. It was much better than the official department investigating corruption. If you lose your reputation, you will be stabbed in the spine, and future generations will suffer.
After another round of signatures and seals, he solemnly handed the two imperial edicts to Wang De and said with a smile: "Thank you."
"It is my duty to share the worries of the Holy One, and it should be done. I also ask the Fang Xianggong to supervise the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works to start construction as soon as possible. By the way, the Holy One has issued a decree, asking the Fang Xianggong to prepare a list of traitors and report them. Anyone who betrays the country, betrays the country, or harms the people,
Not a single thing is missed.”
"I obey the decree!" Fang Xuanling bowed solemnly to the north.
Wang De said goodbye and left, leaving the decree of the traitor temple to someone to read out. He went straight to Qinjiazhuang with the decree of reward, and he was in a good mood.
It’s been a long time since I visited Qinjiazhuang. When I returned to Qinjiazhuang, I felt a lot of changes. Many people were busy in the fish pond, there were flocks of ducks and geese, and children threw grass into the cement. They laughed happily from time to time. It was like a paradise on earth.
There were many more guards at the entrance of Qinjiazhuang. They were all capable and cold-blooded, with murderous eyes. Thinking of Qin Huaidao coming back with more than a thousand people, this should be it, right? Being able to defeat the Turks is really extraordinary.
"Stop, what are you doing?" A captain came over to intercept.
If it were anyone else, Wang De would not give him face. He came out to represent the imperial power and the face of the Holy One. But this is Qinjiazhuang. Wang De admired people who dared to kill Turkic foreigners. He explained: "The Holy One, Wang De, is a close servant of the Holy One.
I’m here to announce the decree, so please make it convenient.”
"In a moment." The other party pointed to a shed nearby and arranged for someone to go in and report.
When Wang De saw that there was a table and tea in the shed, there was no need to hold it up, so he walked over. The entourage was very smart and quickly poured the tea. Seeing that the color of the soup was good, he tried it and found that there was no smell. He quickly picked up another cup and poured it again.
He handed it to Wang De and said, "Daddy, it tastes pretty good."
"Let it go." Wang De refused and looked around. There were beautiful mountains and clear waters, connected fish ponds, ripples in the clear water, and the sunlight reflected in the water. It was a unique scene. He couldn't help but praise: "What a great place. Thinking back to the past, this was just a barren land.
Having enough food was always a problem, but now it has become a land of wealth and wealth, which is really rare."
He walked with me and laughed, but didn't dare to answer the conversation.
They are all people in the palace, how can they not know the relationship between the Holy Emperor and Qin Huaidao? Talking nonsense will get people killed.
Not long after, a caravan came over and was invited to rest and wait in the pavilion. The steward looked at Wang De for a few times, clasped his fists and said, "But you are a nobleman in the palace?"
"You're welcome, by the accent...are you from Lingnan area?" Wang De asked back.
"The noble man is knowledgeable and he is from Wuzhou, Lingnan Road."
"It's quite far. It's not easy to come here. Is this... stocking up?" Wang De asked curiously.
"The mountains are high and the roads are long, and it is indeed not easy, but for a few pieces of silver, I have no choice but to live."
Wang De was very happy when he heard this: "I have long heard that businessmen are slippery. If you dare to come to Chang'an from Wuzhou, you must be a capable big shot. You are doing big business, and you can't be satisfied with just a few pieces of silver. Don't worry, we
If you’re not greedy, it’s not easy to come here, so I’ll bring more goods back.”
While they were chatting, several more caravans came over. Wang De was secretly shocked. Why is the Qinjiazhuang's business so good without Qin Huaidao? Or is it that the merchants knew Qin Huaidao had returned and had confidence in their hearts, so they all came to buy goods?
This deal is not small!
At this time, someone came to inform.
Wang De followed him into Qinjiazhuang and followed the spacious, hard cement road to the courtyard on the top of the mountain. According to the rules, Qin Huaidao should open the middle door wide and bring the whole family out to welcome the decree. However, there were only guards at the door.
He'er came out and said apologetically: "My lord, my young master is not here, please come with me."
"This is against the rules, why don't we send someone to look for it?" Wang De was a little embarrassed.
"Sending someone to look for him will take time, so why not come in and have a cup of tea first?" He'er said with a smile.
When Wang De heard that it made sense, he followed in. He'er arranged for the entourage to rest in a room, sent someone to bring tea, cakes, and dried fruits, and motioned for Wang De to follow. He went to another room and opened a box, which was full of
Qinjiazhuang's bank voucher, the denomination is not small.
"This is?" Of course Wang De knew the certificate and the value of this thing, and looked at He'er curiously.
He'er explained: "My young master has told me that this is the dividend from the Tangluo Cement Road this year, a total of 2,000 yuan. Because I was kidnapped before and my finances were unknown, I couldn't distribute it to everyone. I'm really sorry for delaying it until now.
If father-in-law doesn’t like the voucher, you can give him money.”
When the cement road of Tangluo Road was built, Wang De also invested 10,000 guan privately. Unexpectedly, the return in one year would be 2,000 guan, and there would be another 30 years. Based on this calculation, wouldn't it mean that he would make a fortune?
The voucher is a good thing. You can go to the department store to buy any item and settle it at the internal price, which is equivalent to a 10% discount, which is equivalent to silver. Wang De smiled and said: "That's embarrassing, just take the voucher."
"Yes, it will be as much as was agreed upon at the beginning. My young master's benevolence, righteousness and trust must be clear to the prince. By the way, the young master has also confessed that Hanzhou will be a treasure land in the future. If the prince is interested, he can participate in it.
How casual." He'er laughed.
"Oh, what are the specifics?" Wang De became interested as soon as he heard it. How could one road make so much money, and the whole Hanzhou would die? Others may not be able to do it, but Qin Huaidao's ability to make money is obvious to all.
He'er said with a smile: "Young master said that he plans to set up a business company with a total amount of 10 million yuan. Young master will provide 30% of the financing. Of course, it will only be from within, and outsiders will not need a penny."
An insider said that Wang De was elated and clear in his heart. With Qinjiazhuang's speed and ability to make money, plus Qin Huaidao's connections and skills, he could probably get 10 million yuan, and giving 30% of it was purely for profit.
Make money with the people around you.
Wang De was not stupid. He knew very well that the people around Qin Huaidao were either the Duke or the son of the Duke. He, a servant, was nothing after leaving the Holy Emperor. Qin Huaidao could give him a chance, and his purpose was not clear.
After some weighing, Wang De decided to leave a way out for himself and his family. As long as it was not a matter of principle, it would be okay to support him secretly.
Thinking of this, Wang De said gratefully: "Thank you to the King of Han for me. Our family will definitely repay this great kindness. I will not take this dividend. I will ask someone to send some more later. It will be regarded as a shareholding."
"The daughter of the common people thanked the prince on behalf of the young master. Those are the dividends given to the Holy One. She also asked the prince to take them back so that the Holy One would not worry about them. As for the imperial edict, my young master doesn't like to publicize it. I don't know when he will come back. He might run away again.
Where did it go, or it wasn't read out, right?"
"Since the King of Han is no longer here, let's not read it out and ask Mrs. He'er to deliver it to our family." Wang De wisely handed the imperial edict to He'er and went out with another box of silver.
He'er sent the gifts out and hurried to the workshop behind the compound, where he found Qin Huaidao who was drawing a picture.
"You're here, is it going well?"
"It went very well. This is the imperial edict of the king. The prince left the certificate and said that someone would send money to buy shares later. I also understand the young master's intention."
"He is a sensible person." Qin Huaidao said with emotion.
"With the help of Wang Gonggong, we won't have to worry about the news in the palace. What good things are you developing?" He'er came over curiously and asked.
ps: Thanks to my friends who saw this, I wish you all the best!
