Chapter 158

Bianjing palace.

Wang xuanzhi hurried to the small pavilion by the pool, saw Wang Huilan leaning on the soft couch on the small pavilion, paused, and then waved a group of servant girls around to step back.

"Sister." Wang xuanzhi called.

"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Wang Huilan turned her head sideways, frowned slightly, and looked at her messy younger brother.

"Sister, said the father, did you ask to marry the second prince?" Wang xuanzhi sat in front of her and asked.

"I just promised my cousin." Wang Huilan blushed slightly on her face and said.

"Sister, what about brother Zhao? Brother Zhao has been waiting for you for so many years, what should he do?" Wang xuanzhi asked with a very bad face.

"How can Zhao Yinfeng marry me? Even if it's a marriage with the Zhao family, my father will only agree to marry me to brother Zhao, but you know, brother Zhao doesn't have me at all in his heart, and it doesn't matter who is his wife." Wang Huilan also didn't feel a little louder.

"Sister, since you've never had any intention of the third brother, why don't you tell him directly?" Sighed, Wang xuanzhi's way.

Wang Huilan didn't make a sound and turned to look at the lotus full of the pool. Zhao Yinfeng grew well and responded to her requests wholeheartedly, which fully satisfied her vanity. But it didn't mean that she was going to marry him. She was going to marry a border guard. It was dangerous to get together less and leave more. She didn't want to wait to make her old. She was more willing to let herself bloom in the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace, which was the most prosperous and rich place.

Looking at Wang Huilan, Wang xuanzhi sighed heavily in his heart. His father took a fancy to Zhao Mingliang and thought he was the representative of the Zhao family. Even if the military power was temporarily in the hands of Zhao Yinfeng, it was for his eldest brother. Wang Huilan took a fancy to the future of the second prince. They all bet their wealth on the second prince, and did not know that they were dancing on the blade.

"Brother Xuan, stop talking about this. I heard that the Xie family wanted to send their daughter to you as a concubine. Why did you refuse?" Wang Huilan picked up the fan and shook it gently. Wang xuanzhi drove away her servant girls. Now she can only do it by herself.

"The Xie family can't protect themselves now. When he reopens the sea route, let's talk about the marriage." With a faint voice, a young man walked into the pavilion.

Wang xuanzhi stood up, saluted and shouted, "brother."

Wang Fuzhi waved his hand, sat down on the chair and said, "xuanzhi, it's time for you to come back and help your father. What's the use of always studying abroad? Now Huilan has been promised to the second prince as the princess, and there is no retreat for the Wang family."

"Brother just said that the Xie family can't protect themselves?" Wang xuanzhi also sat down and asked.

"Their fleet has been disadvantageous in recent years. Xie Tingxuan was directly killed because he owed too much money. Although it is said that Xie Tingxuan has been at odds with the Xie family, it is also a blow to the Xie family's face. If the Xie family wants to get back face, they have to find someone to settle accounts, but they don't even know who they are dealing with now." Wang Fuzhi laughed contemptuously and then said, "this time, I came to tell my father whether filial piety can be reduced this year."

"That father must be unhappy." Wang Huilan interjected that she would also be unhappy. Without the Xie family's money, this year's new jewelry must be affected to a certain extent.

"My father said that if there was less filial piety, it would be difficult for the private soldiers of the Xie family to help them. Then Xie Tingyi immediately transferred his words, saying that they had found the person who had harmed Xie Tingxuan this time and were about to send someone to solve the Ling family." Wang Fu's way, with an obvious sneer in his tone.

Ling Jia... The woman reading books suddenly appeared in Wang xuanzhi's mind.

Ling Qingyu rushed back to Hangzhou overnight and wrote to Ding Budong to transfer all the ships from Quanzhou to Hangzhou. 2000 people! There should be appropriate reasons to let them on board.

Zheng Xi arrived in Hangzhou on the second day and once again met with Ling Qingyu and Cai Jingfang about Han Liang's demand list.

"You have doubled the demand. All our cotton and cotton are used to supply the north, and we don't take any other orders." Ling Qingyu knocked on the table.

"What about the list you received before?" Zheng Xi asked, because cotton and cotton are fresh here, many customers want goods.

"Lose money, say that this year's production is reduced, the goods are not enough, and don't take the list in the future. Our output can't supply others." Lingqingyu said.

"OK." Zheng Xi responded. Although it was not a small number, it was really nothing for Lingjia firm, only afraid that its reputation was affected.

"How much grain can our fields get in a year?" Lingqingyu asked.

Cai Jingfang and Zheng Xi calculated for a while, and then checked, and said, "now the output has increased. With Mr. Han's polder field in Wuhu and Huai'an, we can receive a total of more than 250000 stones of rent."

"Choose a few more people who can trust Miaozi. OK, come on board with me and learn to be a boatman." Ling Qingyu calculated in his heart and said. 200000 stone grain is only one month's rations in heishuiguan. Lingjia village has a surplus of grain. In order to speed up the circulation, we must strengthen the means of transportation, so as to flow the logistics.

I can only do this, do all I can, just ask you to be safe.

"I know." Zheng Xi and Cai Jingfang nodded. Lingjia's biggest profit now comes from spices and silver houses, followed by restaurants, silk shops, and although there are many fields, it is the least profitable. Even if all these outputs are given to Yang Zhao free of charge, it will not hurt Daya. Besides, Yang Zhao directly sent 2000 elite soldiers to the head of the family. What is this? This is to support those who are in charge to go out and become robbers! So those spices, gold and gems are cheaper. After calculation, they make a lot of money. What is grain? What is cotton? What is cotton?!

It's impossible to follow such a master without feeling.

It was evening when Fang nianyuan took the first group of people to Hangzhou. They came by the Cao boat of Longmen. After receiving the people, Cai Jingfang took them to the wharf and warehouse. They had already been ready there. After the ship came, they got on the ship in the name of a sailor coolie.

Fang nianyuan took some of his men to Wanyu garden. Ling Qingyu had the chef cook a table full of wine and vegetables, waiting for them.

These subordinates of Fang nianyuan met Ling Qingyu when they were in the camp. They knew that the waist knives they were wearing were given by the woman in charge of the family. Moreover, looking at the way their immediate boss, Fang Xiaowei, was familiar with her, and thinking about it again, that night, this man rested in the account of General Yang's military camp, so he was a little timid.

auzw. Ling Qingyu was surprised and asked, "isn't the dish delicious?"

"No, it's delicious?" The subordinate hurriedly said.

"I can't drink. I can only drink tea instead of wine. Thank you for your hard work." Ling Qingyu took a cup of tea and stood up to say hello.

"I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it." The subordinates were in a panic. When they got up, some knocked over the bowl, some dropped chopsticks, and some kicked over the chair.

"Look at your brilliant idea!" Fang nianyuan laughed and scolded, then got up and said to Ling Qingyu, "the head of the family doesn't have to be so polite, we also need to get paid."

Several subordinates are looking at Fang nianyuan. How dare you, Colonel Fang? What did General Yang say when we came out? You forgot all about it?

"That's natural! There's no work without money!" Ling Qingyu said with a happy smile, take the money, take the money!

"Let's talk about a salary of sixty-two silver a year." Fang nianyuan continued.

Several subordinates stared at him. Captain Fang, are you hurting us? Our military pay is only 30 Liang silver a year. Aren't you afraid that General Yang will destroy you?

"How about that! It's too little. At least it should be equal to our sailors for at least eighty-two years, not counting dividends." Lingqingyu said.

Several subordinates were completely petrified.

Fang nianyuan smiled and patted his subordinates on the shoulder, saying, "as I told you, there is a future for those who are in charge."

Send several subordinates who have drunk enough to pat Ling Qingyu on the shoulder and call them brothers to the carriage outside and let Cai Jingfang's people take them to the dock. Fang nianyuan turns around and sees Ling Qingyu quietly looking at him under the dim light of the lantern at the door.

"Give the head a bed." Fang nianyuan went up the steps, met her face to face, and said with a smile.

Sixth grade Colonel, for soldiers starting from the bottom soldiers, it is already a great official. Do you just give up when you say you give up?

As if hearing her silent question, Fang nianyuan rubbed his head and said, "I don't want to work hard for those people. No matter how high the official position is, it's not as good as a grain of dust in the eyes of those people. I'll work hard for the head of the family, and the head of the family will give me the silver to start a family!"

Ling Qingyu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "OK! I will make everyone earn a lot of money and I will marry you a good wife in a beautiful way!"

Fang nianyuan showed a bright smile and walked behind while singing a song.

After 20000 people were settled, one battalion of the four people was going to Lingjia village. For this position, the four of them broke their heads and finally decided by drawing lots. Sure enough, doing more good deeds usually pays off.

Two days later, Fengshen arrived at Hangzhou port, accompanied by two other ships.

The three ships were full of all kinds of spices, condiments, various treasures, and more than a dozen boxes of jadeite raw stones.

"The new director of the city shipping department, Shi, is a black hearted man this time," Ding Dong drank: "After we smoked 10% of the spices, we had to buy 40% of them. He didn't have enough money, and he didn't want to exchange goods and fields like Lord fan. He just said he would give us an IOU. Fortunately, I heard that the owner of the house, the more expensive ones were put in the dark cabin, and the outside ones were all low-cost goods, so this time I only unloaded some spices in Quanzhou, and brought the rest. This is the list and IOU issued by the black hearted guy."

Ling Qingyu opened the list and couldn't help laughing. This person seemed to be unfamiliar with the situation, and the following petty officials had been bribed. The list was very artistic. The goods they had hidden could be sold as authentic goods. In this way, the tax stolen was much more than the money of the ious.

"These officials want uncle Ding to win over, and the long history will give him up. If Uncle Ding meets, he will cry for poverty." Ling Qingyu laughed.

"That's true. These people are all left by Lord fan. They have always been good with us. I'll thank them next time I go back." Ding Dong laughed. The anger was directed at the unscrupulous official. Fortunately, the head of the family was not here this time, or I was afraid of being angry to death. But to be fair, the list given by the petty official allowed the business to make a lot of money this time.

"Ram, haven't their boats come back yet?" Ling Qingyu looked at the list and asked, there was no goods from the Red Sea and Zhu Luo side. Most of them were produced by Zhenla Gupo of Zhancheng Jiaozhi, sanfoqi. I'm afraid most of them were exchanged for copper coins from Ling Jia village.

"No, Suhexiang and their boat didn't come back, but Cangshu ran to Daguang, and he brought back those emerald stones." Ding Dongdao.

"Well, leave those to both of them." Pointing to Zheng Xi and Cai Jingfang, whose eyes have been shining, Ling Qingyu said.

Pearls, gems, emeralds, gold, all of which are left for their own silver house, and the remaining spices and condiments are worth millions of taels of silver. After thinking for a moment, Ling Qingyu shouted at the door, "Fang nianyuan!"

"In." Fang nianyuan, who was squatting in the yard and chatting with Yan Qi, jumped up, stepped into the room and asked, "what's the matter with the head?"

"This time, the court held several discussions on the border between Dazhou and Liao. Half of the spices were sent directly to Han Liang. You can send someone to escort them." Ling Qingyu pointed to Shan Zidao.

"OK, I'll arrange someone now. Who should I give it to?" Fang nianyuan asked.

"The head of the family, let me run, just this time I also want to send cotton padded clothes or something." Zheng Xi laughed.

"Good. Other goods will be sent to our own shop first, and the surplus will be sold to others." Lingqingyu said to caijingfang.

Cai Jingfang nodded, and his calculations never stopped. The goods sent to the market for horses must be sent directly to the north, and the money can't be returned, so it can only be counted as the sales of his own shop and the sales of the silver building. After the calculation, Cai Jingfang said, "if the silver building business is good, the profit this year is only afraid to exceed 3.5 million Liang."

Ling Qingyu smiled. Several times before, she sold it directly, and then the silver ticket came into her pocket. This time, it was all the stores that supported her. It was normal to have so many profits.
