Fourth Master Leng, in fact, was originally called Leng Si.
He has had many names in his entire life. He used to change his name when he worked in his business, but he was most well known as his cold last name, and his wealth and wealth were honored as the fourth master.
Many people think that the fourth master is too many people to be stupid, but those who have done business with him know that he is shrewd like a fox.
In the business arena, he won't give a penny, and the price is what the price should be.
But he is also very principled. Doing business will never violate the principles he has set himself. It is like a cold wolf door, abiding by those few rules, rather than sticking to thousands of things by himself.
Also because of this, many people like to do business with him, because he is not deceiving, there are businessmen's shrewdness but no businessmen's market calculations.
The Si Ye is very stupid in his life. He is willing to pay money for the people and things he is happy about, but he is also limited to material things, because he can afford them and does not care very much.
But if anything else, he would be very stingy.
For example, emotions.
He doesn't like a person easily. He likes Yuan Qingling very much now, but Yuan Qingling used to be like a scum of briquettes in his eyes, and he looks down on all kinds of things.
If it weren't for the hundreds of lives on the Jafong Mountain that were snatched from her, I still have the idea of killing her.
Therefore, when he likes someone, he treats that person wholeheartedly.
In order to keep Yuan Qingling's life, he gave her the quota of his only apprentice.
Si Ye is indeed a cold-hearted person.
What Si Ye wanted most in his life was a snow wolf that belonged to him.
When a person reaches a certain time, his material life has reached a certain level, and his pursuit will rise to a higher level, from material to spiritual.
Snow Wolf is his spiritual pursuit. Many people don't know why he is so persistent, including those in Leng Lang Clan who think he wants Snow Wolf, just to make Leng Lang Clan more veritable.
But it's not!
At noon that day, he was sitting in front of the porch, holding the gray wolf in his hand, watching the snow wolf flashing by outside the yard, plundering flashed out of his eyes, but he had to hear that Rong Yue was in Balabala, "I heard that this is The emperor meant to let you marry Princess Yu Wenling."
The fourth master hugged the gray wolf and stroked the gray wolf's head. The wolf was unruly, but was tamed by the fourth master to be as obediently as a dog, letting his big hand suddenly cover it up, "Do !"
"Emperor Xu has ulterior motives!" Rong Yue reminded.
"If you can marry the princess to a commercial merchant, I don't believe him if you say he is not careful." The fourth master had deep eyes.
"Then, do you really want to agree?" Rong Yue felt a little risky.
"Promise!" Fourth Master let go of the gray wolf, let it ran out, turned and entered the house, "You ask someone to prepare, choose a good day and auspicious day to celebrate!"
Since the opening of the Northern Tang Dynasty, there has never been a princess marrying a businessman.
The move of Emperor Ming and Yuan brought out a big message, that is, the court began to attach importance to merchants and economy.
Since the founding of the ancestors, the Northern Tang Dynasty has always been a policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce. When the Supreme Dynasty was over, the status of merchants was gradually elevated, and some policies that favored merchants were introduced, and only then did things like Leng Siye appear This kind of giant business.
Now that the imperial court has opened up trade with Dazhou, and married the princess to a merchant, it seems that the imperial court is about to develop commerce on a large scale.
The Ming and Yuan emperors stood by the window late at night, remembering that if the economy prospered and taxes and money flowed endlessly to the treasury, he would finally bid farewell to the title of pauper emperor!
Concubine Xian's condition was already very serious, so Emperor Ming Yuan decided to do the princess's marriage as soon as possible, preferably in the first month of the year, which would kill the members of the Ministry of Rites.
Fortunately, the efficiency of work is linked to whether there is money or not. The fourth master has money, so naturally there will be more people doing work, and the efficiency of doing work will naturally increase.
The wedding date was set on the fifteenth of the first lunar month. It was very hasty, but there were a lot of things that should be there, and it was even very grand.
On that day, the household department and the internal government compiled the dowry gift list for the princess's marriage and handed it to the Ming and Yuan emperor.
Emperor Ming Yuan frowned after seeing it, "Why is it so shabby?"
The chief of the inner palace spread his hands and said helplessly: "A clever woman can hardly cook without rice, the emperor, now the year is coming, and everywhere you have to spend money. There is also the need for the New Year’s Eve palace banquet, which is a huge expense."
Emperor Ming and Yuan actually gave the princess the best he could, but he was ashamed of his pocket, and there was really no way.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Okay, it's tentatively decided this way, I will think about it again."
The next day, he summoned all the princes into the palace.
The words of Emperor Ming Yuan are also very simple. Your sister is going to get married, and your brothers must add makeup to her.
Yu Wenhao is not stingy, because Yuan Qingling thought of this before. The emperor was already very shabby when he married the king of Huai. Now it is the new year when the princess gets married, so there is really not much money he can give out. .
Therefore, today the emperor sent them to the palace, knowing that it was due to the dowry, and told Yu Wenhao to add one hundred thousand taels to the princess.
Yu Wenhao's one hundred thousand liang was thrown out, and Wang Huai immediately said it to one hundred thousand liang.
King Ji and King An gave King Huai a fierce look. This soft-boiler must be able to take out one hundred thousand taels at will, but if they break their heads, if they give less, wouldn't the father be unhappy
But 100,000 taels can't be taken out casually, even if it can be taken out, it feels distressed.
The two dug out and finally agreed to take twenty thousand taels.
Emperor Ming Yuan sighed deeply, looking at his sons, he felt a lot of feelings in his heart.
As the father of the king, one hundred thousand taels can't be taken out casually, they just took it out.
Let's stay a bit longer, as long as the treasury has enough money, he decrees to double the amount of money allocated to the house every year, and then life will be easier.
The Emperor of Ming and Yuan asked Mu Rugong to record it, and the silver must be in place before New Year's Eve.
On the side of the Supreme Emperor, he also gave one hundred thousand taels of silver, so it would not be considered rude to do so for the princess.
The inner mansion took the money to do the dowry, carried boxes by boxes to the palace, and only waited for the princess to get married, and then transported these boxes by boxes to the princess's mansion.
The twenty-ninth of the twelfth lunar month is the Chinese New Year. Starting from the twenty-eighth, the hall will be closed for holidays.
New Year's Eve is a time to enter the palace. The palace banquet is very grand, and the concubines are naturally present, except for the "seriously ill" concubine.
I heard that Concubine Xian’s condition is getting worse, and there will always be screams in the middle of the night. No one in the harem knows what disease Concubine Xian has. He just thinks that the disease is terrible, and she always gets sick in the middle of the night. .
Yu Wenhao brought his family into the palace to attend the dinner, and went to Qingyu Palace to greet him.
The concubine Xian sat in the hall, her temples scattered, she looked at him with angry eyes, and yelled, "You have no conscience. Your mother concubine gives birth to you, so you don't care about your mother concubine?"
