Uncle, Ling Qingyu lifted the curtain himself and said, I'm leaving in a few days. How about you give me a token or something, and I'll ask the steward to see the token and deliver it to me? How about that?

It works! The uncle immediately turned his head and said with a smile.

But the Silver Building can be opened, why do you still have to leave? The uncle asked, this girl is very interesting.

It's been rumored outside. I've also heard that those fans of Mr. Cheng and Mr. Zhao, the girls who like them, are ready to throw rotten eggs at me when they see me. I'd better avoid the limelight. When will those young masters show up again? There's a new legend, we have nothing to do, come back and watch the show with uncle. Ling Qingyu said softly.

The uncle nodded and said: That's right, they will 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, please don't hurt me. I'm like this and I'm not despised to death by others. The most important thing is that I am the only one in my family. The child I give birth to must be named Ling. Ling Qingyu said in a low voice.

That's true, but why are they willing to go on stage and gamble for you? The uncle asked, this is the core, right? It doesn't matter, they stand up for you? Ghost letter!

It would be wrong to say that we don't know each other at all. Didn't Mr. Cheng ask us to find the sweet potato? It was originally said well that if we found it, the court would give us a heavy reward. But that day, he told me directly that if he came to power, we would not be able to claim the heavy reward. . And didn’t the court open a forum? We also wanted to see if there was any chance, so we asked the steward to invite General Yang and General Zhao. We originally wanted to get close to each other, but what happened, my steward was so anxious that he just Can you ask them to help, the price is a set of jewelry for each person, uncle, do you know how painful it is for me? It's so expensive! As for Mr. Fan, to be honest, I really don't know why he went up? Ling Qingyu said as he spoke. Showing various expressions of heartache, heartache, and body pain.

Cheng Jia is a good boy! Knowing that he could save money for me and have a bright future, the uncle also said heartbrokenly: Actually, it would have been better if your manager had approached me in the first place. Wouldn't it be a waste to give those accessories to two rough guys?

Emperor Xiwen, you are so short of money! ; Ling Qingyu cursed in his heart, but still sighed on his face: If I had known that this would happen, I wouldn't have come to Bian Jingdu. Besides, uncle, where can I find you?

The uncle coughed and covered it up, and said: It's okay, it's okay. I'll ask someone to come to you with a token from now on. If you have anything to do, just tell him.

Ling Qingyu took the fruit on the table, cut it in half, then carved a mark in the flesh, handed it to the uncle, and said: We will use this as a token in the future. The goods arrive here about once every four months to half a year.

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 directly. Then he nodded, took the fruit and handed it to the fair-faced and beardless man.

The man took the dried fruit and his eyes twitched unconsciously. Although the two men were very quiet, they could not hear anything in their ears. Your Majesty, what are you planning to do?

Yan San got up and left the small room, walking along the corridor towards the latrine, and made a gesture when passing Yang Zhao who was walking over.

Yang Zhao and He Li walked out of the corridor directly.

Girl, where did you get that jade? the uncle relaxed a little and asked.

It's from Daguang. It's very far. The boat takes five months to travel. Ling Qingyu said.

Go get some more. The uncle said with an order in his tone.

But we 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 don't dare to go out now. Uncle, if you really want it, I have kept some rough stones for myself. For you to play with? Ling Qingyu said.

The uncle nodded and said: Yes, okay! Let's put the Yinlou together. A few days ago, the small country in the extra chapter did mention pirates in its credentials. It's better to cut off the fat sheep slowly.

You haven't recovered yet, go back first. Yan San came in and approached Ling Qingyu and whispered.

Yes. Ling Qingyu nodded, and then said to the uncle: Uncle, I'm going back first.

Go, go. The uncle waved his hand, but did not put down the curtain. He watched Yan San tie Ling Qingyu's cloak with amusement in his eyes, and then helped her out.

When the small room over there was empty, Emperor Xiwen put down the curtain and touched the ring on his finger. It is indeed better to have such a considerate husband by your side than those young masters from aristocratic families who guard the future. Regardless of whether this woman is smart or naive, at least she is not stupid. Leaving Bianjing now is indeed the best choice for her. It's best for such an interesting woman not to have any ambitions. However, I don't have to worry about these troublesome things. I just accept my things. Well, I can't let them play with my fat sheep to death. If you want to eat meat, you should I'm here to eat.

Xing'an, do you think she knows who I am? Emperor Xiwen asked the eunuch next to him.

I think I don't know. Xing'an said with a slight bow. If he knew who you were and said you were an uncle, he would be extremely courageous.

Well, I'm very amiable today, but I still have to do something because of that girl's benefit. I'll send the inscription to her tomorrow. Emperor Xiwen said with a smile. Wang Xiang is in charge of the third department. I don’t know how much money in the world has gone to his house, but not much of it has gone into my pocket. This girl is good and knows how to respect me and not the Wang family, so I must 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 but ask as her hands were covered in cold sweat after touching her.

Emperor Xiwen, the current emperor, Ling Qingyu said with a bitter smile, Yan San, I feel like I'm being targeted by a snake, like a light on my back.

What? Yan San was puzzled. Didn't you fool him very well?

Have you ever seen an emperor ask for something so directly from a merchant? Robbery under the power shows that he is very greedy, and the current financial situation of Dazhou is not good. If anyone knows how rich we are, Needless to say, this emperor will definitely take action. Ling Qingyu was a little scared. At that time, she smelled the faint scent of dragon's birth and was a little suspicious. The dragon pattern on the finger finally confirmed her judgment, but she couldn't Unexpectedly, as a king of a country, he would speak directly to a merchant for a mere few hundred thousand taels of silver. Of course, it can also be understood that he thought that he was not recognized and was treating it as a game.

Maybe it's not as bad as you think. I've always heard that this emperor is so fatuous that he doesn't even go to court. He only likes spices and jewelry. After a moment of silence, Yan San consoled him. Look at the cold sweat all over her body.

Yan San, a person who has been an emperor for decades, no matter how stupid he is, still knows the basics. Moreover, even if he is indeed an emperor like Song Huizong who can't even figure out his own country's income, if he knows the fields and shops we own , will do the same. Ling Qingyu sighed, at that time, Song Huizong was extravagant in calligraphy and painting, and all government affairs were controlled by ministers. These are really similar to the current Emperor Xiwen. The difference is that there are still some people in the court here. Qingliu had military commanders, but Song Huizong only used a bunch of sycophants.

Seeing Yan San's worried eyes, Ling Qingyu thought for a while and then smiled and said: You're right, I'm worried in vain. Although we have a lot of land and shops, it's nothing compared to those wealthy and aristocratic families. As long as we pay attention in the future Yeah, just because the imperial court is in such a mess right now, we won’t be able to find out for a while.”

The Ministry of Household Statistics counts the number of fields and households every four years, but now that famines occur frequently and the number of refugees is increasing, the number of households and fields must be a mess. The land reclamation in the northwest was not included in the registered number of fields. The imperial court They couldn't find any specific data at all, and they couldn't find out the details of the income from shipping. The information they could get about the Ling family's property was only one-tenth of one-tenth, which was only a million taels of family property, which was really nothing.

Thinking of this, Ling Qingyu felt relieved again. The finance of the Great Zhou Dynasty was a centralized system, and all taxes and taxes were centralized and escorted to Bianjing. Therefore, although the world is big, only Bianjing is the richest. It is no wonder that people here are not interested in outsiders. of merchants disagreed.

However, when he returned to the mansion and talked about what happened that night, Han Zong was still so frightened that he broke out in sweat and looked at her speechless.

You just keep calling me uncle? Han Ye asked.

He looks like an uncle. I called him casually, but I can't change my words. Ling Qingyu pointed at him.

Forget it, that's fine. If the emperor really inscribes the silver building tomorrow, I will leave a steward here. Although half of it is removed, we can rely on the emperor's inscription to sell the ornaments to the officials, and then we can collect a lot. News. Han Zong said. The shop in Bianjing is not for profit, but only for collecting information, so it is really good to have such a leader.

On the next day, the chamberlain sent the plaque of the No. 1 Curio Pavilion in the World, inscribed by Emperor Xi Wen, to the Ling Family Silver Building. Then he entered the inner room, exchanged the code with the steward, and took away two large boxes of jewelry.

This added a strong color to the rumors about the Ling family, so when the Ling family silver shop opened, although the prices of jewelry were much more expensive than other stores, there was a steady flow of customers.

It was very uneasy inside the palace.

Prime Minister Wang threw the specially transferred materials for the Ling Family Real Estate Shop on the floor, and sat in a chair sulking, because it was not yet the four-year statistical year, and the materials here were transferred from the commercial tax, as you can see What's more is the number of purchases made by the Shipping Company and the amount of taxes paid by some shops. Based on this, it can be deduced that the Ling family's property is only one million taels of silver. For such a small family, she can die in an ugly way with just a few tricks, but What the emperor is doing now is actually telling him clearly, don't touch my people.

This woman is smart enough to give one-fifth of her property to the emperor to buy an amulet. Wang Fuzhi picked up the stack of paper, looked at it, and said.

Forget it, keep an eye on that girl Jinglan. Now is the most important time, she actually caused such a big trouble! Wang Xiang said gloomily.

Wang Fuzhi responded, That idiot Wang Jinglan, who was born by his aunt is indeed his aunt, so what if he would please his father and put her in the name of the royal family and say that she is the legitimate daughter? She was exposed as soon as she left the house, and now even Huilan is in trouble.

What about the Zhao family? Although General Zhao didn't say it explicitly this time, his words also hinted that he was very angry with us for marrying our concubines as legitimate daughters and thought we looked down on the Zhao family. Wang Fuzhi lowered his head and asked. .

Wang Xiang was even more angry and said: Bring that evil girl to Zhuangzi for me.

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 turn around the relationship between the Zhao family?

Where's Xuanzhi? Wang Xiang asked.

I'm studying in the study, and I said I would go there next spring, Wang Fuzhi replied.

Hey, it's up to him to save some reputation. Looking at the paper on the ground, Wang Xiang said: Send a message to the Xie family. If they kill this Ling family girl overseas, I will withdraw the order from the Political Affairs Hall. It was hard for Zhou to touch her. If anything happened, the emperor would think it was the Wang family. But overseas, nothing happened to the Wang family.
