Queen Mother Wang entered the palace at the age of seventeen and stayed there for thirty years. From the moment she stepped into the palace gate, she never went out again. Facing four high walls all day long, she was still lonely, lonely and cold. Good.
Being pampered by Emperor Jing and giving birth to three girls and one boy somewhat eased her pain of giving up her freedom. After finally waiting for her son to become emperor, as the Queen Mother, Wang seemed to have returned to her original girlhood, yearning to see what was happening outside the palace.
landscape.
With Wang's intelligence, she would not be able to fail to see that the emperor deliberately sent her away. But Wang also understood that his son was not the late emperor and would not be at the mercy of her mother, even if he stayed in the palace and treated the emperor.
The influence will become less and less. What's more, my younger brother Tian Fu has no motivation now. He just plays around all day long. He supports Princess Liu Piao of Guantao and others, and they are moved down one by one. He is alone and it will not be good for mother and son to turn against each other.
.
The emperor recommended it, his daughter-in-law supported it, and even his younger brother Tian Fu encouraged him. Wang made up his mind and gave up.
The carriage slowly left Changle Palace, and the mighty procession drove towards Louguantai. The royal guard of honor and guards disturbed the whole of Chang'an. Wherever they passed by, there were dense crowds of people kneeling on both sides.
Su Ren rode at the front. He was picking up people, so he was naturally responsible for leading the way. It was not far from Chang'an to Lou Guan, and the Queen Mother was worried that she would be tired from the journey, so the team moved very slowly. It took two days to reach Lou Guan Terrace.
.
Su Ren was an incompetent guide and disappeared after leaving Chang'an City. He left the job of leading the way to Huo Jin and got into Tian Fu's carriage. Since he has his own house in Louguantai, how could he not go and take a look?
Tian Fu was still very curious about the house built by Su Ren.
"Boy, first tell me how the house is like. If it's not as good as the one near Taixue, I have to compensate."
Su Ren glanced at Tian Fu and picked up a piece of pastry on the small table: "Compensation? Did you pay for it or participated in the construction? I have never heard of giving something to others, if others think it is not good, you have to compensate.
!Only you can tell."
"Hahaha..." Tian Fu laughed heartily, his ugly face split and his mouth even more ugly: "You insisted on giving it to me, I didn't ask you!"
"Hey! It's okay to be tricked by you and the Queen Mother, but you still say such sarcastic words!" Su Ren swallowed a piece of pastry in two mouthfuls: "To be honest, it is more than ten times stronger than the one from Taixue. I am also prepared to be nearby.
Build medical clinics, shops, restaurants, etc., and then Marquis Wu'an will be able to support you!"
"Oh? These are all good things. Is Mr. Chunyu the doctor at the hospital?"
Su Ren nodded: "Not only Mr. Chunyu, but also his disciples, the shops and wine shops are all members of the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce, which will definitely satisfy you."
Tian Fu said with a smile: "It seems that you are not ready to stop until you drain our money. Let me make it clear first that I don't have much money. Now that I have lost my official position, Wu'an's little output cannot afford to be wasted.
."
"Then don't come, I'm not forcing you!"
"How can that be done? After all, I am also a marquis and your Majesty's uncle. I cannot lose face!"
"You must save face and suffer the consequences!"
"Hahaha..." Tian Fu laughed again: "What else? Tell me all together, and I will give you the details to avoid you losing money."
"No! You just need to consult the details to get some benefits. It's better for me to figure it out myself."
Tian Fu shook his head with a smile: "How about I buy a share? This is just giving you money."
"How many?"
"Fifty thousand dollars, this is the limit of what I can spend at this time!"
"Fifty thousand dollars!" Su Ren thought for a while: "It's not impossible for Marquis Wu'an to buy shares, but there's a problem. There are already people in those hospitals, wine shops, shops, etc., so I don't need to greet them, so there's no need for me.
Spend money, there is only one thing we can cooperate on."
"Tell me!"
"The boy has built a total of sixty-eight houses in Louguantai, and will continue to build them in the future. This first batch of houses is only for the royal relatives and those veterans who have made contributions to our great man. The houses built in the future will be
It is open to officials, merchants, and all wealthy people. As long as they give me money, I will sell it, so there will be more and more people, and many things cannot be accomplished by Xu Ling."
"continue!"
"For example, the house I built is indeed convenient, but it is definitely not a palace or a mansion for you. There are not so many servants, so I hope to hire people to do the things outside the house, such as gardeners, grooms, and coachmen.
, and even the guards to protect you, the masons, carpenters, etc. who are renovating the house, these people are ready to hire people to do it, and they don’t want to trouble the Order or the court."
Tian Fu thought for a while: "According to what you said, if you build hundreds or thousands of houses, you will need a lot of manpower!"
"That's not necessarily the case!" Su Ren said with a smile: "As long as the management is good, there are arrangements for everything every day, just like the eunuchs in the palace. For the sake of a clean and comfortable place, do you think these residents are willing to
Don’t you want to spend more money? It’s not much. Depending on the size of the house, it’s no more than fifty yuan a month and less than twenty yuan.”
"This can save a lot of manpower. I roughly calculated that for the current scale, thirty people will be enough. Even if it can reach a thousand households in the future, it will only require two to three hundred people. Those gentlemen from the province will come.
There are too many people to support, and the house is not big in the first place, but they are all crowded with slaves, so the master has no room."
Tian Fu digested what Su Ren said in his mind. He was a gangster, so he could still tell what could make money. According to what Su Ren said, a few dozen dollars per household per month is indeed not much, but it cannot support the residents.
That's a lot. Based on the calculation of 300 households, the monthly income is about 10,000 yuan. Excluding the wages of 100 employees, 1,000 yuan, there is no problem in saving 6,000 to 7,000 yuan.
Tian Fu also saw that the characteristic of this matter is that the more residents there are, the more money they earn. As long as it runs well, it is a business that is sure to make money without losing money. He patted his thigh and said, "I agree to this matter now!"
Su Ren glared: "Why did you agree? Do you know how many people should be used? How many gardeners and grooms should be used? How many brooms should be bought, how many trash cans should be placed? How many women should be hired?
, how many men should we look for?”
Tian Fu was stunned for a moment when he was asked: "What do you mean? Are you making fun of me?"
Su Ren chuckled: "That's not true. I just said that you can't do this. The money can be paid, and it will be paid out as dividends at the end of the year! We have made an agreement for 50,000 yuan, so you don't regret it when the time comes!"
"Hahaha..." Tian Fu patted Su Ren on the shoulder: "Okay, I always mean what I say."
Su Ren said quickly: "Let's talk about the ugliness in the front. In the beginning, if there were only a few dozen households, they would definitely lose money. As you can probably see, the more households there are, the more money they will make, so I am planning to start the project again next year.
When building a house, if there are merchants or farmers who become neighbors of the Queen Mother, you have to help, otherwise we will have to drink from the northwest wind just because of your people."
"So you're waiting for me here? Are you asking me to be your lobbyist?" Tian Fu sighed: "Well, I'm just going to show off my old face. Who let me get involved?
"
"With your words, I feel relieved!" Su Ren stretched out his palm, Tian Fu smiled, and the two high-fived.
When the Queen Mother arrived at the viewing platform, everyone had to come out to greet her. Although it was autumn, the leaves on the mountain were still green. As soon as she got off the car, the beautiful scenery of nature made the Queen Mother relaxed and happy. Looking up, she saw the lush green mountains dotted with
There were several houses in the house, which had a rather pastoral feel. The Queen Mother was unwilling to take the car and stubbornly wanted to walk up.
Walking along the bluestone road, the coolness did not make the Queen Mother feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, the pastoral smell made the Queen Mother very comfortable. She turned around and asked Su Ren: "Which one is my palace's house?"
Su Ren quickly pointed to the front: "The Queen Mother is a thousand years old, so she naturally wants to live at the top, which is also the place with the best scenery. You can watch the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening. The common people have taken care of everything. They know that the Queen Mother likes it."
There is a large area of green bamboo planted around the house. Look at the bamboo forest."
"Oh? You know all about my hobbies. This is really embarrassing for you!"
Su Ren smiled: "This is what your Majesty told the people. Your Majesty also said that although the Queen Mother lives in the palace, she never forgets the sufferings of the people. When she has nothing to do, she raises chickens and ducks, and weaves cloth. The Queen Mother misses the people all over the world.
Therefore, the common people raised some chickens and ducks outside the house, and built a loom so that the Queen Mother could care for the people here, and Her Majesty could once again wear the clothes woven by the Queen Mother herself."
"Su Ren is thoughtful! It seems that I have come to the right place this time. If you find your stay comfortable, I will remember you for your contribution."
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Su Ren pointed to Zuo Jian again: "Mrs. Wei is next to the Queen Mother, and the other ladies are near the Queen Mother. Even the house of Marquis Wu'an is not far away. If the Queen Mother misses her, she can stand at the door and shout
One sound and they can hear it."
"Hahaha..." The Queen Mother smiled: "How can it be so interesting? I will have to try it later!"
Tian Fu also laughed: "I remember back then, my sister always called me at the door. This time we siblings are back to the past!"
Wei Zifu looked around and pointed to a row of houses at the foot of the mountain along the river: "Where are those? Are they also inhabited?"
Su Rendao: "Back to Madam, those are the residences of servants, of course not your personal servants. Gardeners, grooms, etc. live there. This place is not like the palace, there are not many people to serve, clean the road, and help you."
Those who raise horses and repair cars are put together. Her Majesty the Queen Mother, you can rest assured that these are good people, and they are all registered at the Mingfu Order, and the common people asked someone to teach them the rules."
"Oh!" Wei Zifu nodded: "Why is there still a signboard for the Holy Medical Clinic?"
Su Ren added: "You are all nobles, and no one can guarantee whether you will have a headache or fever. Besides, Mrs. Wei brought the prince here this time, so the common people asked Mr. Chunyu to open a holy medical clinic here.
, it is convenient for you nobles to avoid any accidents. There will be wine shops and shops opened before the year, so you don’t have to go to Chang’an if you need anything.”
"Is there a music studio? It would be better if Mr. Su built a music studio!" As soon as Su Ren finished speaking, Mrs. Li, who had just been admitted to the palace by Liu Che, asked impatiently. (To be continued)
