Su Changqing didn't understand. Imperial concubine Yang meant that Li Xiaolang was so poor that even his own women wore old clothes after washing.
Yes, in the eyes of empress Chang sun and imperial concubine Yang, wearing washed clothes is too shabby.
Su Changqing's impressions of the Tang Dynasty and empress Chang sun came from watching a TV series, "the rule of Zhenguan" in modern times.
The eldest grandson empress in the TV series is frugal, has a profound sense of justice and has a mother in the world. She once made the beautiful boss cry.
In the TV play, empress Chang sun even wears patched clothes
In history, empress Chang sun and the big footed horse empress of Zhu Yuanzhang are known as thrifty, but the difference between them is too great.
However, empress Ma was born in an ordinary family, and even her family became increasingly poor. She can be described as the emperor and Empress of bitter birth. Therefore, in history, empress Ma with big feet was the only empress who was so frugal that she was willing to wear rags.
The empress changsun was born in the imperial clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty. As the imperial clan, the changsun family has produced a large number of capable people from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty. It can be said that "the door is handed down to the bell Ding and the family background is mountains and rivers".
Therefore, empress Chang sun's frugality is just not extravagance and waste. It is recorded in the old book of Tang Dynasty that the empress changsun "is frugal in nature, and she only takes what she is subject to.".
Translated into vernacular, it means that empress Chang sun is a very diligent and thrifty person. She only needs enough clothes, jewelry and chariots and horses.
The so-called sufficiency is not to change and reuse old jewelry, nor to reduce the grade of vehicles and horses, but only to ask not to "excessive" in the overall quantity, that's all.
In the Tang Dynasty, including nobles, they absolutely don't wear old clothes after washing, that is to say, if the clothes are dirty, they will be discarded.
This is also true of the empress Chang sun, who is known for her frugality.
I think the so-called thrift is the new three years, the old three years, and three years of sewing. That's a plot imagined by the screenwriter.
In history, wearing washing clothes is a model of frugality, which should be boasted by historical records.
For example, it is recorded in the records of food and goods in the book of Sui Dynasty that the emperor bowed and walked frugally, and the six palaces salted clothes for washing.
This is similar to the modern luxury clothing of later generations. There was news that high-end clothing was deformed after dry cleaning. The reply from the consulting merchants was, "we didn't consider cleaning when designing this clothing". The luxury level of ancient, modern, Chinese and foreign can be matched.
Because of this, imperial concubine Yang looked at Su Changqing's clothes and said those words.
Empress Chang sun also agreed with imperial concubine Yang's words. She looked at Su Changqing lovingly and felt that Xiao Lang of the Li family was too harsh on her women.
When Su Changqing understood what the queen and the imperial concubine said, he was made to smile bitterly.
Are there any misunderstandings between the Royal and aristocrats of the Tang Dynasty about the four words of diligence and thrift?
But she suddenly had an idea, and her face immediately became sad.
I have to admit that women are born actors.
The beauty boss's expression at the moment is very much like a poor and wronged little lady at home.
"Your Highness, your highness, you may not know. Forget your worries. He still has a debt of nearly three million yuan. If he doesn't have money to pay his debt by the end of the year, I'm afraid he'll have to go to court and fight the board. Pity him. Now his parents are dead and bullied, and he can hardly even protect his adult tombs. Under such circumstances, how dare he wear any new clothes."
Her words were not false. Empress Chang sun knew the situation and felt that it was not easy for Li Xiaolang.
The eldest grandson queen said, "it's hard for the child. Why don't we help him pay off the debt?"
Su Changqing hurriedly said, "no, your highness, forget your worries. He is stubborn and will never accept handouts. On that day, Yu Shinan's secret prison also wanted to pay his debts, but he refused."
Empress Chang sun sighed, "Hey, what should I do?"
Su Changqing suddenly asked with a smile, "Your Highness, I have an idea, that is, it can make the royal family profitable and get my Li family out of trouble. I wonder if your highness is interested?"
"Oh? And such good things? Tell me?" empress Chang sun and imperial concubine Yang were very curious.
Su Changqing told the whole story of Shunfeng express horse and carriage company, and analyzed the profits and the financial problems faced by the horse and carriage company to empress changsun and Princess Yang in detail.
Due to the lack of sufficient funds, the development of four-wheel carriage line is very slow, while the market demand is unusually large.
In fact, this is not the whim of the beautiful boss. Originally, she discussed with Li forget you whether to pull Chumo's dandy family into the partnership.
The cake of the four wheeled carriage is so big that it can't be eaten by the Li family and Dingzhou village alone. Even if you're not careful, you'll choke yourself to death.
This is not alarmist, but the seemingly insignificant carriage transportation business, which actually has too many profits.
Relying only on Fang Xuanling, Li forgets to worry about the franchise edict of Chang'an City, with the province under the door and the Shangshu zuoshe, it is difficult to resist the greedy peeping of aristocratic families.
According to the analysis of Su Changqing and Li QIAOYOU, at least 1000 four-wheel carriages are needed to meet the needs of many merchants in Chang'an city.
Even if calculated according to the average daily profit of a carriage, SF express may make a profit of 1000 yuan a day in the future.
Millions of dollars, but it is only a day's profit. It is conceivable how big this cake will be.
Before she could discuss with Li forget you how to invite these dandy families to take a stake in the horse racing shop, she unexpectedly met the empress changsun today.
If you want to choose a partner, is there anything more suitable than the royal family? No matter how greedy the aristocratic family is, they dare not extend their claws to the Royal industry.
Moreover, once the royal family takes a stake in SF express, it can not only meet the capital needs for the development of carriage companies in the early stage, but also dig a number of managers who can write and calculate from the royal family. Why not?
Su Changqing believed that empress Chang sun would not refuse her proposal, which was a win-win choice.
Sure enough, after she explained the key, empress Chang sun decided to cooperate without hesitation.
Empress Chang sun is not only the head of the harem, but also all royal industries are under her jurisdiction. Empress Chang sun can make a decision with her cooperation with the Li family.
"The palace has 800 horses and 5000 copper coins. Niece, how much can you give to the palace?" empress changsun looked at Su Changqing with interest to see how she answered.
Su Changqing did not hesitate, but directly replied, "Your Highness, the Royal horse and cart company accounts for 50%, my Li family accounts for 30%, and Dingzhou village households account for 20%. Do you think it's ok?"
"Yes!" empress changsun nodded with satisfaction and was very satisfied with Su Changqing's proposal.
"However, I have two conditions. Please allow the queen." before empress changsun spoke, Su Changqing quickly said his conditions: "I hope SF express will still be managed by me. The royal family will send an accounting room and supervisor. Can you?"
"But!" empress Chang sun nodded again. She didn't want to take this industry away from the Li family. That's not her original intention.
Su Changqing couldn't help smiling. She didn't expect that she had such a big backer for her family when she strolled in the street with her little girl today.
