"Yes, Your Highness, one harvest in these ten days is two thousand taels, and one month is six thousand taels. The two items add up to a profit of ten thousand taels, without adding anything else."
"Others? What else?" Ling Wenche asked.
The guard smiled and said: "Your Highness, you don't know. This Jiang's Paper Industry not only has a paper-making workshop, but also has a vegetable greenhouse and raises pigs, chickens and rabbits. These can all be sold for money. Didn't you know that this
Whose idea was it? The most surprising thing is that Jiang Paper was chosen by the Wen family! The paper produced by Jiang Paper has been sold to all parts of the north and south through the Wen family’s caravans!”
"Are you talking about the Wen family from Lingnan?"
"Exactly!"
Ling Wenche frowned: "Could it be Ling Wenjing's contribution here?"
If this was really the case, Prince Ling Wenche snorted coldly!
It is not a good thing for a royal person to be involved with Lingnan!
At that time, the old King of Lingnan conquered the world together with Taizong. Later, they rewarded each other based on their merits and granted several kings with different surnames, including the King of Lingnan.
Twenty years later, those kings with different surnames died, were injured, and their clans were exterminated.
There was only one King of Lingnan left, and he still held military power. He was always a serious problem in Taizong's heart.
It's not that Taizong didn't want to take back his military power, but that he was beyond his reach.
In the eighth year of the enfeoffment of the king with a different surname, the Anxi people from the south of Lingnan invaded.
The old King of Lingnan led his troops southward, and this battle lasted nine years.
Taizong thought that two tigers were fighting each other and he would reap the benefits, so he did not send any soldiers there.
After nine years of tug-of-war, Lingnan suffered numerous casualties and eventually occupied the territory of the Anxi tribe.
On the contrary, there is another village full of flowers and flowers. I never thought that the Anxi tribe was so vast and sparsely populated and rich in products that the old Lingnan King even moved the royal capital there.
When Taizong wanted to reach out, he was already beyond his reach.
Later, the old Lingnan king took the initiative to eliminate his title and changed his surname from a king to a marquis. He also promised to give generous tributes to the court every year. In addition, the location of the Anxi tribe was too remote. In the event of war, it would waste people and money.
Besides, everyone took the initiative to eliminate the nobles, and they were at peace.
No reason!
This matter has been delayed until now.
In recent years, the relationship between Beijing and Lingnan has been very delicate.
As long as anyone in the royal family is not stupid, neither the prince nor the prince would dare to have anything to do with Lingnan.
Ling Wenjing actually dared to do business with the Wen family.
This Wen family is related by marriage to the King of Lingnan.
This is an excellent opportunity for Ling Wenche!
Ling Wenche would be stupid if he missed this opportunity.
The guard shook his head: "The people below replied that no, the prince has nothing to do with the Wen family, and he doesn't know anyone from the Wen family, but the girl named Jiang Xiaohua is close to the Wen family, and has gone to Yun Inn several times to meet people from the Wen family.
, Miss Jiang recently accompanied her eldest brother to Ganquan Mansion, and they were protected by the Wen family along the way, so they were able to arrive at Ganquan Mansion smoothly. "
Ling Wenche sneered: "He said it's not involved, so it's not involved! As long as the Wen family has business dealings with their Jiang's Paper Industry, I say they have a relationship, it's a relationship! Spread the news that the Crown Prince is connected with the Lingnan Wen family
When I go back, it’s best to spread the news to my father’s ears. I want to see what my father will do! In recent years, Prince Ling’s Mansion always likes to show a miserable look to his father. His father’s love for Ling Wenjing is incomparable.
My two biological sons are worse than Lao San and I are even better than Lao San and me."
"Your Highness, those are all for the world to see!"
"Hmph! This time I want to see what my father will do?"
The guard knew in his heart that as long as the prince was involved, His Highness would...
"My subordinate understands!"
"Where is the letter the prince wrote to Miss Jiang, bring it here!"
The guard nodded and went out, and came back after a while, holding in his hand the letter written by the Crown Prince Ling Wenjing to Jiang Xiaohua.
The prince only looked at him and said, "Qingqing? Are you attracted to Miss Jiang? How old is Miss Jiang this year?"
"Your Highness, Miss Jiang will be fourteen by the end of this year!"
Prince Ling Wenche chuckled twice: "We will go to Yuntang Town instead. I want to see Miss Jiang."
"Yes, I will make arrangements now! Your Highness, this letter?"
Prince Ling Wenche folded the letter in half and tore it gently.
The guard understood immediately.
Turn around and go out to arrange things.
Ling Wenche transferred to Yuntang Town and headed to Dalingzi Village with only two guards.
When I met Jiang Xiaohua, it was time after get off work. After having dinner in the big kitchen, the villagers all liked to chat under the big locust tree. They chatted for a while between the east and west families before going home.
After Jiang Xiaohua finished chatting with Butler Xuanyu, she came over to see Xiaoba sitting under the big locust tree and listening to people chatting.
Jiang Xiaohua is busy on weekdays and doesn't come here often.
He simply sat next to Xiaoba on the big rocks under the big locust tree.
Prince Ling Wenche passed by Dalingzi Village in disguise, and what he saw was Jiang Xiaohua resting her head on Xiaoba's legs, looking leisurely and leisurely.
Looking at the villagers in this village, everyone is smiling.
Can you be unhappy?
The wages have now increased again, to three taels of silver per person per month, not counting bonuses.
The salary is not much, but the bonus is quite a lot.
As long as you are willing to work hard.
The monthly bonus can be twenty taels.
This day, tsk tsk...
OK.
Now the unmarried men and women in Dalingzi Village have become the most popular, regardless of whether they are young men or women, they are the most popular in the entire Yuntang Town.
Girls from other villages want to marry in.
Young men from other villages all want to marry girls from Dalingzi Village. As long as they marry girls from Dalingzi Village, they can get the first-come-first-served position and work in the workshops.
This kind of income is really enviable.
Not to mention that there is a village school. I heard that the teacher in this village school was specially invited by Mr. Tao, a great scholar.
Spread this out.
There are even more people who come to Dalingzi Village to study and find jobs.
The prince glanced briefly at Jiang Xiaohua's fair and delicate face, and was slightly startled.
It is rare to see a girl from a bank account with this appearance.
No wonder he caught the eye of the crown prince Ling Wenjing.
Come out of Dalingzi Village.
"What do you think, Your Highness?" the guard asked.
"What a wonderful man!"
The guard was stunned.
This means taking a fancy to it.
"Your Highness, no matter how pretty that girl is, she is just a girl from a village..."
This guard was the prince's confidant, and after thinking for a while he persuaded her: "Your Highness, this Miss Jiang is good-looking, but if Your Highness wants a good-looking girl, how can I not find one? Since this person is the prince's choice,
Yes, there is no need to bother with him. A person who is judged by the imperial doctor to be less than thirty, Your Highness..."
"His Highness really wants to see what he likes! In all these years, have you ever heard of anyone that Ling Wenjing has fallen in love with?"
"this……"
The guard shook his head.
I really haven't heard of it in these years, but I do know that Mrs. Shi of the Hou Mansion is interested in the crown prince Ling Wenjing, and really no one else.
Everyone thought that the Crown Prince was emotionless because he knew he would not live to be thirty, but it turned out not to be the case.
