But thinking about it, Shen Lian can enter the Taimiao to perform the ceremony, just accept a meeting gift, as long as he finds a good reason to go to the palace to coax him, Emperor Chunde will definitely pass by with his eyes closed. Search: \(¨¨¨¨¨) Watch fine literature for free
Things really happened as Lou Jing expected, the fee for entering Beijing was collected in full swing, and the nobles in Beijing also lent money very smoothly. Emperor Chunde didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and everyone was happy for a while, but the officials who borrowed money were not Everyone is happy.
However, no matter how much fuss is made, these have nothing to do with Lou Jing, he did not participate in the money lending at all, but asked Yun Ba to find out what officials had borrowed money, especially those who borrowed money from the government of Anguo. write it down.
In the twinkling of an eye, it was the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and Shen Lian's "meeting gift" was almost received. The officials who returned to Beijing to report their duties were close to their homes and hurried back, while those whose homes were far away could only spend the New Year in Beijing. Finally, they were busy and began to prepare for the New Year with peace of mind.
"Why don't you go into that business?" Xiao Chengjun asked Lou Jing, with his temperament, this kind of money-making business would naturally have to be involved.
"No money." Lou Jing muttered, and buried her face in the chest of His Royal Highness King Min.
No money? Xiao Chengjun wondered: "Didn't you just make a lot of money from Shen Lian? Why are you out of money?"
It was snowing heavily outside and it was too cold to sit, the two of them got under the covers after dinner, Xiao Chengjun leaned against the bedside to read a book, Lou Jing automatically snuggled into his arms.
"Most of them were exchanged for warehouse notes." Lou Jing stretched out her hand and slowly traced the dark pattern on King Min's inner shirt.
Warehouse banknotes are exchanged for grain from Fujana. The folks call them "baitiao", which are used to exchange for salt. In the official price, one tael of warehouse bills is exchanged for one salt, and one salt is worth half a tael of silver.
Xiao Chengjun frowned, "Are you going to do the salt quotation business?"
"There is no way to pay for salt in winter, and most people are in a hurry to celebrate the New Year. The banknotes are already so cheap that one penny can be exchanged for one tael." Lou Jing rubbed against the dark dragon-shaped pattern, thinking that if he changed to bright money in the future, The yellow inner shirt is embroidered with five-color dragon patterns, which must be more interesting to draw.
In other words, Lou Jing exchanged one penny for warehouse notes that were originally worth five pennies!
"How could it be so cheap?" Xiao Chengjun was startled, because selling salt is very profitable, Fujia has always been willing to pay for grain in exchange for warehouse bills, if the price of warehouse bills drops to this point, who will be willing to pay for grain in the future, probably will be sold directly Pay the tax money, and then the government will use the money to buy food, and it will waste a lot of money and food.
"There are a lot of white strips but little salt. It's not easy to exchange salt for the past two years," Lou Jing said with a light smile. not come out."
There are many people who store salt in the salt warehouses in the north, but there are not many people who exchange grain for salt imports. The south of the Yangtze River is the opposite, because the exchange of white strips for salt imports requires the collusion of officials and businessmen. Merchants in the south have no connections and cannot hook up with the government in the north. This caused the price of Jiangnan Baitiao to drop so far in winter.
"Yanzheng, has the chaos reached this point?" Xiao Chengjun put down the book in his hand and sighed deeply.
"It's not going to be a big mess," Lou Jing raised her hand and rubbed his frowned brows away, "It's just because the timing is good, if it's the beginning of spring, the white strips will probably be worth two or three dollars again."
The reason why he was so anxious to do this business was not only that the price of banknotes fell in winter, but more importantly, the shopkeeper of Jinzhou who came to reconcile the account a few days ago told him that he had bought the new salt official in Jinzhou. I have collected a large amount of salt, and as long as I take the IOU, I can exchange it to him at the official price.
Hearing this, Xiao Chengjun breathed a sigh of relief, and held the hand that was dangling in front of him, "Then when did you exchange the white strips with salt?"
"Tomorrow..." Lou Jing was silent for a moment, "I have to go to Jinyang tomorrow." Such a big matter cannot be settled by a big shopkeeper, he has to meet the salt official in person.
Tomorrow...to Jinju? Jinzhou is not far from the capital, and it takes three days to ride a fast horse to Jinyang City, the capital of Jinzhou. However, it seems that the Chinese New Year is coming, but Lou Jing is leaving the capital.
"How many days?" asked without thinking, Xiao Chengjun was stunned.
Lou Jing looked up at him, and saw a bit of reluctance in His Highness King Min's deep eyes, couldn't help but bend her eyes, leaned forward and kissed him gently, "I will return it within ten days."
"En." Xiao Chengjun responded, since they were newly married, they have been together almost every day, but now they are suddenly separated, and suddenly feel a little at a loss, His Royal Highness, who does not know how to react, can only pick up the book on the quilt again look.
Lou Jing blinked, raised her hand and took away the book in Xiao Chengjun's hand, "What's so interesting about The Book of Songs, let's read it." Saying this, she leaned on His Highness King Min's chest and opened another book , pointing to one of the pages.
Xiao Chengjun put his chin on the head of the man in his arms, glanced at the book in his hand, and immediately couldn't read it or not. On the opened page was a line drawing, in which a man was lying on the couch, and another man invaded behind him...
"Yuanlang, it will be ten days after a farewell. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it, so I ran back halfway..." Lou Jing took the book in front of Xiao Chengjun and lay on top of him, slowly rubbing the heels of His Highness King Min's legs with his knees.
"Hmm..." Xiao Chengjun's breathing was stagnant, and his body couldn't help becoming hot.
Lou Jing smiled, threw the book in her hand casually, put it close to her husband's ear, and said softly: "Can you see the posture just now?"
Xiao Chengjun was a little embarrassed by his teasing, and stretched out his hand to push him, "No."
"It doesn't matter," Lou Jing put a hand into the underwear embroidered with dark patterns, "I just need to see clearly."
"Hmm..." Xiao Chengjun was about to say something, but Lou Jing kissed his lips, and when he came back, the clothes on his body had disappeared.
It's freezing cold, the copper stove in the house is full of charcoal fire, and the red tent is warm. If you don't do something interesting, wouldn't you live up to the time
"Slow down, slow down... um..." Xiao Chengjun lay on the pillow, was hit mercilessly by the people behind him, and his body kept rubbing against the soft quilt, and he couldn't bear it for a while.
Lou Jing leaned over, bit the white neck, really slowed down, slowly pulled out, and then suddenly submerged completely, embedded in a deeper place.
"Ah..." Xiao Chengjun couldn't help arching his body.
Lou Jing ignored Xiao Chengjun's body with both hands, rubbed wantonly on the sweaty chest, and invaded His Highness King Min's body one by one.
"It's too deep, uh..." Xiao Chengjun clenched the edge of the pillow, trembling uncontrollably in his voice.
After "torturing" the people under her for a while, Lou Jing stopped, kissed his sweaty forehead, and moved quickly again.
As soon as we parted, Lou Jing couldn't help asking for a few more times, and when he finally calmed down, Xiao Chengjun was already so tired that he collapsed on the bed.
Lou Jing hugged the trembling man into her arms, and gently stroked his body.
"Take it out." Xiao Chengjun moved uncomfortably.
"Later," Lou Jing slowly rubbed the back of his neck, "Go to sleep if you're sleepy, I'll wash it for you later."
Although Xiao Chengjun was very tired, he didn't want to sleep at all, "Actually, you don't have to be so anxious to make money, I..."
"It's a fool not to earn money." Lou Jing turned the person in her arms around, and then made a soft moan, "I have a sense of proportion, you just have to do what you have to do."
There was heavy snow, and it didn't stop for several days. Jinzhou was colder than the capital. If you ran back and forth in ten days, you must ride a horse. Xiao Chengjun asked Chang En to take out the fox fur cloak he made last year and put it on for Lou Jing.
Lou Jing took the thick cloak, leaned over and kissed the face of the person on the bed, "Be careful in Beijing, I will come back as soon as possible."
On the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the court suddenly mentioned the matter of setting up a new prince.
"The end of the new year is approaching, and in the spring of the coming year, a new crown prince should be appointed, and it should be decided before the end of the year." The person who played said so.
Emperor Chunde frowned, "You think, among the princes, who can take on this great job?" Saying this, his eyes swept over Xiao Chengjun who was standing with his head down, and seeing his unmoving appearance, he immediately He looked away, and turned to look at the courtier.
There was a moment of silence in the court, the matter of the Crown Prince was no joke, one wrong word would mean eternal doom, even veteran ministers who had planned long ago did not dare to say it easily.
Emperor Chunde turned cold, these people were talking enthusiastically just now, why are they dumb again now
Everyone couldn't help looking at Zhao Duan, Prime Minister of the Left. Since Prime Minister Right lost his head in the last corvee enlistment, Prime Minister Left's power in the middle and left has become much stronger than before.
Zhao Duan lowered his eyes, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Zhao Qing, what do you think?" Emperor Chunde naturally saw the reactions of the ministers, so he called Zhao Duan by name.
Left Prime Minister had no choice but to stand out, pondered for a moment and said: "According to the ancestral system, the prince next to the queen should be established. King Jing is weak and cannot take the position of prince. The minister thinks that the fourth prince can be established."
"The fourth prince is too upright, I'm afraid..." Just as he said that, some officials questioned him.
"The prince was deposed because of his stupidity. Now that the four princes have no merits, how can they serve the world when they are suddenly established as princes?" the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment said.
If we say that the establishment of the fourth prince is justified, we can only blame the edict to abolish the prince, saying that it was because Xiao Chengjun was stupid and unable to take on the great responsibility of the world. Now, if we want to establish a new prince, he must be smarter than Xiao Chengjun, and at least he must have a meritorious service to persuade him people in the world.
However, if there is no fourth prince, who can be established? The eldest prince has just been deposed, so it is naturally impossible for him to be reinstated. The second prince has never been exposed to others. It is said that he was weak and sick since he was a child. The third prince was not raised by the empress's side.
"I think that the third prince has excellent qualifications, but it's a pity that he was never raised under the empress's knees." The one who spoke was the servant of the princes.
"Since ancient times, the crown prince has chosen the virtuous to stand."
"How can we violate the rules of the ancestors? I think that the fourth prince should be established."
"The emperor..."
"I think..."
The court began to argue endlessly again. Xiao Chengjun glanced at the silent Emperor Chunde. There was nothing to dispute about this matter. His father's actions this time were nothing more than because he wanted to establish the third prince without a valid reason, and he needed the courtiers to give him Find a reason.
Xiao Chengjun lowered his eyes and did not intend to participate in it. The situation in the court is still under control, and he will not let Chen Guifei's wishful thinking succeed. It is not so easy for the third prince to enter the East Palace.
Regarding the establishment of the reserve, the court had quarreled for many days without reaching a conclusion. The memorials flew into the imperial study in piles like snowflakes outside, and Emperor Chunde saw one head and two big. Now that the new year is approaching, there are a lot of things to do in court, and he is already bored enough.
In particular, Yang Youting, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is an extremely rigid person. This time someone mentioned the establishment of the third prince, which can be regarded as a touch of this old-fashioned mold. There are two memorials a day, each of which can write thousands of words. Words, the early court must come out to talk about the ancestral system of the last hour. But this person was the teacher of Emperor Chunde when he was the prince, and Emperor Chunde was so angry that he couldn't get angry.
After a few days of this delay, Emperor Chunde couldn't bear it anymore, "The matter of establishing a reserve is not for a while, and this matter will be discussed after a year!" Only then did the debate among the ministers stop, and it took a few days to calm down.
However, after this battle, the third prince who had never been valued by the courtiers suddenly became the hottest candidate for the heir apparent. Moreover, now that Concubine Chen is in favor and the right minister is very powerful, there are really many people trying to win over Xiao Chengduo.
Xiao Chengjun turned a deaf ear to these things, went to the court on time every day, did not say a word, and went back to the mansion after the court, quietly reading and writing in the study.
The heavy snow stopped, stopped and fell again, and the north wind kept howling. On winter nights, no matter how many charcoal fires were burned, it was still cold.
Xiao Chengjun lay on the big empty bed, looking sideways at the pair of pillows, on which were embroidered with gold thread mandarin ducks playing in the water, stretched out his hand, and slowly stroked the cold empty seat, that person had been gone for eight days. It's a long journey from Beijing to Jinyang, and it's snowing heavily. I don't know if he will be safe all the way
His arms, which were only wearing underwear, were soon frozen. Xiao Chengjun retracted his hands under the quilt, looked at the place in a daze, and sighed a long time. Hearing the desolate wind outside the window, he closed his eyes.
It takes six days to go back and forth on a thousand miles of frosty and snowy road, but if you ride a sweaty BMW, you can save half a day. I have seen the officials of the salt government, and I have done everything well, no matter it is already afternoon, I can just hit the horse and leave, which can save half a day.
Lou Jing returned to the capital covered in wind and frost, and went straight to the Prince Min's Mansion. After changing the icy cloak, he warmed his cold body by the copper stove in the outer room, drank the hot soup served by Le Xian, and then entered the inner room lightly.
Seeing the peaceful sleeping face on the bed, Lou Jing's heart that had been tense all the way relaxed immediately. She never expected that after only a few days apart, she became like a demon. She couldn't sleep or eat, and just wanted to see him soon.
Lou Jing leaned over and kissed the warm sleeping face, thinking that it must be very interesting to know what expression His Royal Highness Prince Min will show when he sees him sleeping next to him tomorrow morning. Thinking like this, slowly lifted the corner of the quilt, and was about to get in, but was suddenly stunned. Under the quilt, where he used to sleep, lay a slender hand, unconsciously and slowly stroking the satin sheets in his sleep.
A feeling of soreness and sweetness rushed into her heart immediately, Lou Jing held the hand, turned on the bed, and hugged him into her arms. The hard work along the way is really worth it!
The author has something to say: Aww, I don’t know if this is considered thick and long qaq I think it sounds thick and long, ahahaha
The prices of Yanyin and Cangchao refer to "History of the Ming Dynasty". Of course, there are a lot of my fabricated ingredients in the Yanyin business, please don't take it seriously.
