"Uncle," Ling Qingyu lifted the curtain by himself, and said, "I'm leaving in a few days, why don't you give me a token or something, and I'll ask the steward to give you the token? How about it?"
"This is successful!" The uncle immediately turned his head and said with a smile.
"But the silver building can already be opened, why do you have to leave?" the uncle asked, this girl is very interesting.
"It's been rumored like this outside. I also heard that those fans of Mr. Cheng and Mr. Zhao are girls who like them. They are going to throw rotten eggs when they see me. I'd better avoid the limelight. When will those young masters come again?" There is a new legend, we have nothing to do, and I will come back to watch the show with uncle." Ling Qingyu said softly.
The uncle nodded and said: "That's right, they never get married. It's not good to keep people thinking. I said, you really don't want to marry them? Why don't I go and talk to the emperor?"
"Uncle, don't hurt me. I'm just like me, and I'm not disgusted to death. The most important thing is, I'm the only account holder in my family. My child must be named Ling." Ling Qingyu said in a low voice.
"What you said is true, but why are they willing to go on stage to gamble for you?" the uncle asked, this is the core, okay? It's okay. They stand up for you? ghost letter!
"It's not right to say that we don't know each other at all. Didn't Mr. Cheng ask us to find that sweet potato? It was a good idea. If we found the court, we would give him a big reward, but he told me the other day that if he came to power, he would not be able to get the big reward." Also, didn't the imperial court open a debate? We also wanted to see if there was a chance, so we asked the steward to invite General Yang and General Zhao. We wanted to make friends with each other, but when something happened, my steward was anxious I can ask them to help in their early years, the price is a set of jewelry for each person, uncle, do you know how heartbroken I am? It’s so expensive! As for Mr. Fan, to be honest, I really don’t know why he went up there?” Ling Qingyu said while Expressing all kinds of expressions of heartache, heartache, and body pain.
That boy Cheng Jia is not bad! Knowing that saving money for me has a bright future, the uncle also said with a heartache: "Actually, it would have been better for your manager to come to me in the first place. Wouldn't it be a waste to give the accessories to the two old men?"
Emperor Xiwen, how short of money are you! Ling Qingyu slandered in his heart, but he still had to sigh on the face: "I should have known this would happen, I would not come to Bianjing, besides, uncle, where can I find you?"
The uncle coughed to cover it up, and said, "It's all right, I'll ask someone to bring a token to you in the future, if you have anything to tell him, just tell him."
Ling Qingyu took the fruit on the table, cut it open in half, then drew a word "目" in the pulp, handed it to the uncle, and said, "We will use this as a token in the future. I get here about once every four months to six months."
The uncle looked at the dried fruit, and never thought that it could be used as a token, but this is good, and no one will doubt it. If it is not right, just eat it in the stomach. Then he nodded, took the fruit and handed it to the white-faced and beardless man.
The man took the dried fruit, and the corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously. Although the two of them were very quiet, they couldn't hear anything in their ears. Your Majesty, what are you planning to do!
Yan San got up and left the small room, walked along the corridor to the hut, and made a gesture when passing by Yang Zhao who was coming.
Yang Zhao and He Li walked out of the corridor directly.
"I said girl, where did you get that jade?" The uncle relaxed a little and asked.
"It's from Daguang, it's very far away, and the boat will take five months." Ling Qingyu said.
"Go get some more." The uncle said with an order in his tone.
"I have to wait. Most of the sailors on my ship were killed by pirates when I came back this time. I need to replenish the sailors. Moreover, I dare not go out now. If you really want it, uncle, I have left some rough stones for myself. Play for you?" Ling Qingyu said.
The uncle nodded, and said, "Well, good! Let's put the silver building together." A few days ago, Fanwai Xiaoguo did mention the pirates in his certificate of credentials, fat sheep, it's better to cut them slowly.
"You are not well yet, go back first." Yan San approached Ling Qingyu in a low voice after coming in.
"Yes." Ling Qingyu nodded, and then said to the uncle: "Uncle, I'll go back first."
"Go, go." The uncle waved his hand, but did not put down the curtain, watching Yan San tie a cloak on Ling Qingyu with playfulness in his eyes, and then helped her out.
After the small room over there was empty, Emperor Xiwen put down the curtain and touched the finger puller. It is indeed better to have such a considerate husband by her side than those who come from aristocratic families. Regardless of whether this woman is smart or naive, at least she is not stupid. It is indeed the best choice for her to leave Bianjing now. Such an interesting woman had better not have any ambitions, but I don’t need to worry about these troublesome things, I just take what I have, well, I can’t let them play my fat sheep to death, if I want to eat meat, I should I came to eat.
"Xing'an, do you think she knows who I am?" Emperor Xi Wen asked the eunuch beside him.
"I don't think I know." Xing'an bowed his waist slightly and said, if he knew who you were, he would be more courageous than the sky if he told you who you were.
"Well, I'm very amiable today, but I still have to do something to get the benefit of that girl. I'll send the inscription to her tomorrow." Emperor Xiwen laughed. Wang Xiang is in charge of the third department. I don’t know how much money in the world went to his house, but not much went into my pocket. This girl is good, she knows how to honor me instead of the Wang family, so I have to protect my own pocket first.
*****
After sitting in the carriage, Ling Qingyu let out a long breath.
"Who is that person?" Yan San couldn't help asking after touching her hands covered in cold sweat.
"Emperor Xiwen, the current emperor," Ling Qingyu said with a wry smile, "Yan San, I think I'm being targeted by a snake, like a light on my back."
"What?" Yan San was puzzled, didn't you fool him well
"Have you ever seen an emperor ask for something directly from a businessman? The robbery under the power shows that his heart is very greedy, and now Da Zhou's finances are not good. If people know how rich we are, Needless to say about others, this emperor will definitely make a move." Ling Qingyu was a little scared, at that time, she was a little suspicious when she smelled the faint fragrance of dragon birthday, and the dragon pattern on the finger on the finger finally confirmed her judgment, but she couldn't help it anyway. Unexpectedly, as the king of a country, he would talk directly to a merchant for a few hundred thousand taels of silver. Of course, it can also be understood that he thought he was not recognized, but it was just a game.
"Maybe it's not as bad as you think. I've always heard that the emperor is fatuous and doesn't even go to court. He only likes spices and jewelry." After a moment of silence, Yan San comforted him. Look at her sweating.
"Yan San, who has been an emperor for decades, no matter how stupid he is, he knows the general situation. Moreover, even if he is indeed an emperor like Song Huizong who doesn't even know his country's income, if he knows the fields and shops we own , will do the same." Ling Qingyu sighed, back then Song Huizong's calligraphy and painting were extravagant, and the government was all controlled by ministers, these are really similar to the current Emperor Xiwen, the difference is that there are still people in the court here. Qingliu had military generals, but Song Huizong used a bunch of courtiers.
Seeing Yan San's worried eyes, Ling Qingyu thought for a while and smiled again: "You are right, I am worrying unnecessarily. Although we have a lot of land and shops, they are nothing compared to those wealthy families. As long as you pay attention to it in the future Just because the imperial court is in such a mess right now, they won't be able to find us for a while."
The Ministry of Households counts the number of fields and households every four years, but now that such famines are frequent and refugees are increasing, the number of households and fields must be a mess. The land reclamation in the northwest was not included in the registered fields. They couldn't find the specific data at all, and they couldn't find out the details of the income brought by sea. The information they could get on the Ling family's property was only one-twelfth of a million taels, which was really nothing.
Thinking of this, Ling Qingyu felt relieved again. Dazhou's finances are a centralized system, and all taxes and taxes are centralized and escorted into Bianjing, so although the world is big, only Bianjing is the richest. businessmen disagree.
However, when he returned to the mansion and told what happened that night, Han Bian was still sweating from fright, looking at her speechless.
"Uncle you keep calling?" Han Bian asked.
"He looks like an uncle. I called it out casually, but I can't change it." Ling Qingyu pointed his fingers.
"Forget it, that's fine. If the emperor really writes the inscription on Yinlou tomorrow, I will leave a steward here. Although half of it has been removed, you can sell the ornaments to officials and eunuchs based on the emperor's inscription, and you can also collect a lot. news." Han Bian said. Bianjing's shop is not for profit, but only for collecting information, so it is really good to have such a leader.
On the second day, the servant sent the plaque inscribed by Emperor Xiwen to the Silver House of the Ling Family, and then went into the inner room, got the sign with the steward, and took away two large boxes of jewels.
This added a strong color to the rumors of the Ling family, so when the Ling family silver house opened, although the price of the jewelry was much higher than other houses, there were still a lot of customers, and there was an endless stream.
Inside the palace, however, was very restless.
Wang Xiang threw the specially transferred materials for the Lingjiatian property shop on the floor, and sat in the chair sulking, because the year that is not counted every four years, the materials here are transferred from the commercial tax, you can see The most important thing is the number of purchases by the Shibo Department and the amount of taxes paid by some shops. Based on this, it can be inferred that the Ling family's property is only a million taels of silver. Such a small household can make her die ugly, but What the emperor is doing now is actually telling him clearly, don't touch my people.
"This woman is smart. She dared to give one-fifth of her property to the emperor to buy an amulet." Wang Fuzhi picked up the stack of papers, looked at it, and said.
"Forget it, show me that girl Jinglan. Now is the most important time, and she has caused such a big disaster!" Wang Xiang said darkly.
Wang Fuzhi replied yes, that idiot Wang Jinglan, as expected, the one born by the aunt was born by the aunt, so what if he would please his father and put himself under the name of the royal family and say that he is a legitimate daughter? As soon as he went out, he was exposed, and now even Huilan was involved.
"Then what about the Zhao family? Although Old General Zhao didn't say it clearly this time, he also hinted in his words that he was very angry with us for marrying a concubine as a legitimate daughter, and thought we looked down on the Zhao family." Wang Fuzhi lowered his head and asked. .
Wang Xiang was even more angry, and said: "Give that wicked girl to Guan Zhuangzi."
Wang Fuzhi lowered his head and curled his lips. What's the use of shutting you down at this time? The question is how to reverse the relationship between the Zhao family
"Where is Xuanzhi?" Wang Xiang asked.
"Study in the study, and said that next time Chunxi will enter the arena." Wang Fuzhi replied.
"Hey, it's up to him to restore some reputation." Looking at the paper on the ground, Wang Xiang said: "Send a letter to the Xie family, if they kill this Ling family woman overseas, I will withdraw the order from the Political Affairs Hall." It's not easy for Zhou to touch her. If anything happens, the emperor will think that the Wang family did it, but overseas, there is nothing wrong with the Wang family.
