"How dare the foreign minister call Her Royal Highness the princess like that?" Zhu Luo said with a stutter, and looked very embarrassed. Although North Korea's etiquette is not very strict, there are still rules for speaking between men and women who are not from the same family. He believes that the Ming Dynasty has similar rules.
of rules.
But Min'er's attitude when talking to him just now was really casual, and it was completely the same attitude towards brothers from the same clan who had a good relationship with him. He couldn't accept it for a while, and he seemed a little slower than usual.
"Yuan Zheng, let me call you like this. Since dad treats you as a nephew, and you are younger than me, that is, my younger brother, of course you have to call me sister." Min'er had said this before Zhu could say anything.
, and immediately said: "Yuan Zheng, you are erudite and talented. My sister heard about you as early as five years ago. Uncle Hou praised you very much. Wen Yuan also likes reading very much. So, you two
Who has read more books?" Min'er looked at the two of them with rolling eyes.
"Of course it is Langjun who studies more, I am ashamed of myself." Zhu immediately said.
"Yuan Zheng has not read some of the books I have read, but I have not read some of the books Yuan Zheng has read. But if we only look at the number of books he has read, Yuan Zheng is even better," Wenyuan said.
Zhu was about to say something else immediately, but Min'er immediately said: "Sister feels the same way, and thinks that you are not as good at reading as Yuan Zheng. Yuan Zheng is one year older than you, and according to Uncle Hou, he is more diligent in reading than you and has read
It’s normal for someone to have more books than you.”
Wen Yuan's face suddenly turned red, but he said nothing, acquiescing to Min'er's words. Zhu Ze loudly said: "This is the gentleman's modesty. Although Yuan Zhengchi is one year older, North Korea is a small country with few people and few books."
It is far less rich than the capital city, and the books I have read are not as good as those of the husband."
"Yuanzheng, you don't have to say that," a voice suddenly came from outside: "The books in Seoul are naturally not as rich as those in the capital, but there are so many books in the world, how can it be that you teenagers can't read them?"
Is that complete? You are one year older than Wenyuan, and you are more diligent in reading than him, so you should read more than him." At the same time, a figure slowly appeared.
"Dad." Min'er looked at the figure and said with a smile.
"Father/Uncle." Wenyuan and others also said hurriedly.
"Didn't you go out to visit your fourth aunt today? Why did you come back at this time?" Yun said to Min'er with a smile.
"My daughter originally wanted to spend a day at the fourth aunt's house and tease her cousins. But who would have thought that the fourth aunt and the fourth uncle would also plan to enter the palace today. Because the daughter wanted to give them a surprise, she did not send someone in advance to tell them that when they arrived, the fourth aunt would
When we arrived at the Huainan Princess Mansion, the fourth aunt was picking out the clothes to wear to the palace today. Because her daughter was gone, the fourth aunt said she would not enter the palace today, but how could her daughter be such a person who delays other people's affairs because of her own selfishness? With the fourth aunt,
We chatted with my aunt for a while and entered the palace together before noon." Min'er replied, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.
Yun smiled, patted her head, and asked: "What do you want to say when your fourth sister comes to the palace?"
"I don't know. My fourth aunt didn't tell me, and my daughter didn't ask." Min'er shook her head.
Yun was about to ask again when he caught a glimpse of Zhu and his brothers and said with a smile: "Look at me, I almost forgot that you are still here."
He glanced at Ke Lu again and said with a smile: "Uncle Hou, Yuan Zheng, it's getting late. Let's go have a meal first and then talk in the afternoon."
"Yes." Zhu agreed. But he didn't hear Zhu's voice immediately, so he couldn't help but glanced sideways at him, and gently pulled him.
"Yes, uncle." Zhu only reacted after being pulled by him and said hurriedly. He was shocked again by the way Yun got along with Min'er just now. His father, Zhu Fangyuan, was also very concerned about children like them, but in daily life,
He is also more serious. He spends most of his time teaching children and rarely shows any affection. According to him, the country of Ming Dynasty is bigger, and the king is more like an emperor. He is usually more serious with children. But what he didn't expect
Yes, Yun was so close and casual when getting along with her daughter. She couldn't help but feel a little lost.
Yun smiled and said nothing. Even the prince of the clan felt strange when he saw him getting along with Min'er for the first time, let alone Zhu. He said hello again and was about to take them to the dining hall of Kunning Palace.
But at this moment, he suddenly heard Zhu say again: "Which princess is it?" Yun turned around and saw Zhu Zheng saluting a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in palace clothes.
The girl was a little embarrassed for a moment, but she was not panicked. She said in a calm voice: "The little girl is not a princess. The little girl should salute His Highness the County Prince."
"Yuan Zheng, she is not my sister, she is my cousin, the grandson of Uncle Yong Gu." Min'er said hurriedly as if she just remembered her.
"I've met Miss Xue." Zhu You said politely. The only people who can be called cousins by Min'er are the Chang family of Zheng Guogong, the Li family of Cao Guogong, and the Xiao family of the queen's natal family. At the end of last year, the title system was reformed, and Xue Ning was changed to a viscount.
His ancestral home is Xiao County, Xuzhou. There is a mountain in Xiao County called Yonggu Mountain, so he requested to be titled Yongguzi and received permission. Later, Yun was granted the title of earl in the name of his many years of service in the army and his outstanding achievements in hard work. North Korea's view of the Ming Dynasty
We still pay great attention to changes in titles, and the Xue family, as the queen's natal family, is the top priority, and Zhu naturally knows that.
"I have met His Royal Highness," Miss Xue returned the greeting.
"Okay, Yuan Zheng, since I regard you as my nephew, you don't need to be so polite to my niece. Although the status is different, there is no need to be too concerned about status when no outsiders are around." Yun said with a smile. He came in.
At that time, I met my niece Xue Daiwen and inquired and learned that Mrs. Xue also came to the palace today to visit Xiyao Xiyi and took her into the palace. When Miner returned to the palace, she saw her and pulled her here. She heard that inside the house
The two princes from North Korea did not go in and were waiting outside.
"Yes." Zhu agreed. Xue Daiwen also bowed and saluted gracefully.
Yun glanced at her in surprise. She acted too calmly. Even if she was chosen to be Min'er's companion since she was a child, after all, Daiwen's parents were not like him. She shouldn't be so calm when meeting her foreign husband.
.
"Min'er, has Dai Wen always been so generous?" Yun couldn't help but asked Min'er in a low voice.
"Dai Wen has always been grand. She is not only grand, but also," Min'er seemed to want to say something, but in the end she didn't say it. Yun asked further, and Min'er said: "When grandma leaves the palace in the afternoon, mom will definitely tell dad about grandma today."
Dad knew what happened to Dai Wen when he entered the palace. But it was all slander from ignorant people! Dai Wen is a very good person, and she is not like what they said." Min'er finally said a little excitedly
.
Yun was a little surprised, but he suppressed it and did not continue to ask. Firstly, what happened to Daiwen was not important to him, so he was too lazy to ask; secondly, he had to worry about another thing.
"Let's have separate tables for men and women today. My husband will eat with Houbo, Yuanzheng, Wenyuan, Wenqi, Wenyin, and Wuji. You and the children will eat with your mother-in-law, Yunzhi, and Daiwen."
Yun said to Xiyao. Today there are three different waves of guests in the palace. Although the two Korean brothers came from afar and only came to the capital of the Ming Dynasty once in a few years, they should be treated generously, but they cannot drive the other two groups home.
, Yun thought about it and decided to entertain them in separate seats for men and women.
"Yes, husband." Xiyao nodded, accepted the gift from Zhu and Zhu, and walked to another pavilion with Min'er and Daiwen.
"Brother-in-law." Zhang Wuji also came over and saluted Yun.
Yun nodded, exchanged a few words with him and sat down. Since everyone present today was considered a close relative, Yun, Zhu Zhu's brother who was not a close relative, also regarded him as a close relative, so the seats were relatively casual, but Yun arranged Zhang Wuji to his right.
"Wuji, what are you doing in the palace today?" After the food was served, Yun took a few bites and said to Zhang Wuji beside him.
"It's nothing special. It's just that since the beginning of this year, the person who came here has been guiding our two banks to learn the bank business of the country. Now the two banks have almost learned it and can start new businesses." Zhang Wuji
said.
"Oh, that's it." Yun almost forgot about the new business of the bank selected by Zhang Wuji and Xiao Yong under the guidance of Diego Medici, a top student from the Medici Bank of the Republic of Florence. Although this matter is not
It's a small matter, but it's not a big deal either. Yun was so busy last year that she forgot about it.
"I understand." Yun said.
"Brother-in-law, after these businesses officially start operating, they will definitely be able to earn more profits than in the past, but it will also arouse the jealousy of other banks. They may make trouble at the regular meeting of the bank's head office and ask me and my third brother-in-law to choose
The bank disclosed how to conduct these new businesses. However,"
"How can you make it public casually?" Before Zhang Wuji could finish speaking, Yun interrupted with a sneer: "The bank you chose paid a large sum of money to Diego Medici, how can you teach others in vain?"
"I will instruct the directors of the head offices of other banks. If the banks nearby want a way to run these businesses, of course they have to pay a high price for it. And it is best to delay it for a few more days so that you two banks can make enough money.
Let’s talk about it later.”
"Thank you, brother-in-law." Zhang Wuji said hurriedly and happily. Although he and Xiao Yong are consorts, there are hidden dragons and tigers in the bank's head office. Several top nobles have clan members serving as directors. If they attack together, they may not be able to withstand the pressure. But
With these words, they are no longer afraid.
But he thought of something again, and his smile faded and he said: "Brother-in-law, Diego Medici owns 20% of the shares in both banks. The bank's profits are so huge that he can get money every year without doing anything. Can he share it?
Will the shares be redeemed?”
"You don't have to think about this anymore." Yun said firmly: "If you want to do business, the most important thing is to abide by the contract. Since you promised to give him 20% of the shares and signed it in black and white, unless he doesn't want the shares himself,
It can be redeemed only if it is obtained, and it must not be taken advantageously!"
An important factor in the rapid development of modern business is the spirit of contract. The spirit of contract does not mean integrity. It is also very common to tamper with in the contract. However, regardless of whether you take advantage of the contract, as long as you sign the contract, you must strictly abide by the contract.
Yes, you must not violate the contract for any reason. Since Zhang Wuji and Xiao Yong did not expect to tamper with the contract at the beginning, they must not violate it now.
"Yes, brother-in-law." Zhang Wuji was a little frustrated. He is actually an honest person. If an Oriental who can speak fluent Chinese buys shares with this, he may not think about breaking the contract; but Diego taught them how to run these businesses.
Medici was a lustful person, so he subconsciously rejected him and wanted to exclude him from the shareholders. Now that Yun didn't agree, he didn't dare to do this, and he was not very happy.
"You are so sincere." Yun said with a smile: "Brother-in-law just said that you can't break the contract, but he didn't say that you can't use other methods to get the shares back."
"How to get it back?" Zhang Wuji asked curiously. Just now Yun firmly rejected the method of forcibly redeeming the shares, what else can be done?
"You can continue to increase the share capital." Yun said with a smile: "Brother-in-law doesn't know the share capital of the bank opened by your Wudang sect. Assuming it is 100,000 guan, you can increase the share capital by another 100,000 guan. In this way, Diego Medici
Won’t his shares only be 10%? If the share capital is increased by 300,000 yuan, his shares will be only 50%, and the dividends he can receive will be less.”
"Brother-in-law, doesn't this violate the contract?"
"How does this violate the contract?" Yun said with a smile: "There was a rule in the contract that cannot increase the share capital? If not, of course it can."
"Thank you, brother-in-law, I understand." Zhang Wuji said happily again.
"Not only that, if you can do anything that was not agreed upon in the contract, then that's okay..." His thinking began to diverge again, and he quickly came up with several ways to avoid violating the contract and eroding Diego Medici's shares.
.
"I'll tell Uncle Song when I get home," he finally whispered.
"Uncle Song?" Yun heard this and asked, "Song Yuanqiao is in the capital?"
"Yes, brother-in-law, because there will be a general meeting of the bank's head office at the end of the year, branch managers from all provinces and major cities in the Central Plains will come to the capital to attend the meeting, so he is in the capital."
"Is Mr. Zhang here with you?"
"My father also came to the capital to celebrate the New Year in the capital and wait until the first month before returning to Wudang." Zhang Wuji sighed and said, "It would be great if my father could be the permanent resident of the Huguang Branch in the capital. It's a pity that my father doesn't know anything about banks.
I’m not interested either, there are more suitable jobs in Wudang, so that’s all.”
"What errands is Mr. Zhang doing on Wudang Mountain now?" Yun asked in passing, expressing concern for his brother-in-law.
"In charge of the Taoist priests or outside disciples who practice martial arts on the mountain." Zhang Wuji said. The main business income of the Wudang Sect is the money earned from business, so of course they must protect the business. Although the Wudang Sect has a great reputation, it is also because it allows the Wudang Sect to control the Wudang Mountains.
Because of Zhang Wuji's attention and the fact that Zhang Wuji was the consort, local officials had to protect the Wudang sect no matter what they thought in their hearts. But because of this, Zhang Sanfeng, who was usually cautious, specifically ordered to cause as little trouble to the government as possible. The current leader Li Xuandao also emphasized this repeatedly. Since
With such a request from the leader, the Wudang Sect can only let some Taoist priests practice martial arts, or recruit martial arts masters from the world to use force to protect their business.
"Most of the people who practice martial arts are unruly and unruly people, and they are not easy to control." Yun commented.
"Of course it's difficult to control people who practice martial arts, but my father is very skilled in martial arts and can subdue them. He also has some skills, and he also knows the principles of Taoism to teach them and control them obediently." Zhang Wuji said with some pride. His former master
Uncle Song had managed Yuanqiao but failed to manage it well; his second uncle Yu Lianzhou had also managed it but failed to manage it well. He could only manage it well after being handed over to his father. This shows that his father has more management skills than both the senior uncle and the second uncle.
He will naturally be proud of his father.
"It's really good." Yun Ye nodded and praised.
But at this moment, Yun suddenly felt something in his heart and said with a smile: "Wuji."
"Brother-in-law, please give me your instructions."
"Brother-in-law wants to give you a new job, are you willing?"
