Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

In the study outside Zhang's Mansion in Huai'an Prefecture, Zhang Zhi, stroking his beard, was very happy to sit and chat with Wang Xuanzhi. Prime Minister Wang has such an outstanding legitimate son, and his future is bound to be limitless.

My brother is hosting a banquet for Han Shuo today, and your cousin is also there. Why don't you ask him to learn more from you? Zhang Zhi said with a smile. Zhang Wen and his compatriots have completely different personalities. Zhang Wen is one of the most famous celebrities in Huai'an. He has disciples all over the world, but he likes common people and loves to engage in water conservancy and land affairs with the lower class people. However, Zhang Zhi is single-minded. He only read the books of sages and married the sister of the wife of Prime Minister Wang. With this help, his official career was very smooth. He was already the minister of the Ministry of Rites. Because his father passed away and Ding You was at home, now Ding You is about to arrive. He is worried about his resurrection, so he Thanks to the Wang family's kindness in sending their legitimate son and daughter to visit their aunt, there is no need to worry about getting back together.

Is it Zhang Wen, Mr. Zhang? Wang Xuanzhi said happily: Xuanzhi also wants to ask Mr. Zhang for advice. I don't know when it will be convenient for Mr. Zhang to allow me to come to visit you? Zhang Wen's knowledge and ability are something that even his jealous and virtuous father would be proud of. After much praise, he was willing to accompany his sister to Huai'an, mostly because he wanted to ask Zhang Wen and Yang Wanli for advice.

Father! A young man walked in outside the door. After greeting Zhang Zhi first, he then smiled at Wang Xuanzhi and said, Xuanzhi.

Hello, cousin. Wang Xuanzhi stood up to greet him. Zhang Zhi, the eldest son, was also considered young and promising. He had already won the imperial examination at a young age.

Qing'er is back. Zhang Zhi nodded and motioned for Zhang Qing to sit down.

Father, today the second uncle not only invited Han Jue, but also a female householder to the main table. Zhang Qinggang said as soon as he sat down.

What female household? Zhang Zhi asked. He knew that Han Shu was indeed a very talented person, but although he had a great reputation, he was just a helper in managing the village. It was really an insult to the elegance of a scholar.

It's said that Han Ju's boss set up a business alone as a woman and ran a shipping business. Zhang Qingyou sneered: And she wears men's clothes.

How can my second brother do such a thing? Zhang Zhi said angrily.

That woman is so troubled, she even talked nonsense at the table. Zhang Qing recounted what happened at the table, and said disdainfully: Such a woman is really insulting to the gentlemen. Brother Su also told me that he would never go to Zhang Qing again. That’s it sir.”

Nonsense! Zhang Zhi scolded, turning to ask Wang Xuanzhi: What do you think, nephew?

Although that woman is arrogant, what she said is right. Wang Xuanzhi smiled at Zhang Qing and said, Cousin, don't worry. The woman said that the foundation of a country is nothing more than its people. This is indeed true, and outside of this great Zhou Dynasty, There are even infinite worlds, and I would also like to see them if I have the chance.

Although she has some knowledge, she is still too frivolous for a woman, huh. Zhang Zhi sneered, stopped mentioning it, and turned to other things.

I'm afraid it's her. She did something wrong today. She is a wealthy merchant. Just look at the Xie family and you will know that a hairpin is not in her eyes. Moreover, in the past two years, none of the Xie family's ships have returned from the extra chapter. The boat division has been completely lost. Now they can only sail to places like Korea and Japan. If the woman came back from the extra chapter tens of thousands of miles away, she would definitely make a huge profit. Wang Xuanzhi I sighed secretly in my heart. She really did do something mean. If she meets her again in the future, I must apologize to her.

When Ling Qingyu woke up, he only felt a splitting headache and cursed, wine is indeed not a good thing! Then he hurriedly stood up and looked around. He remembered that his wine was never good. I wonder if he brought it here?

What are you looking for? Yan San came in with a basin of water and closed the door and asked.

It's okay. Ling Qingyu hurriedly pulled up the thin quilt to cover his body, got out again, and asked, How did I come back yesterday?

Yan San glanced at her but didn't answer. Ling Qingyu groaned and covered his head. A muffled voice came out from under the quilt and said, Well, I didn't do anything, did I?

Is this what you're talking about? Yan San nodded her head, which was covered by the quilt. When she came out, he stretched out his arms to show her, and then tore open his collar a little, revealing his shoulders that were stained with teeth. .

Ouch! Ling Qingyu yelled, blushed and got back into the quilt, saying: I won't drink until I die!

Get up quickly, we'll leave after eating. Yan San patted her, tightened the collar and said.

I didn't do anything else, right? Ling Qingyu asked dullly. In the past, besides biting people, there were other people who could do other things.

What else do you want to do? Yan San's voice was filled with a smile, and then he said: Stop dawdling, don't you have to rush back to Hangzhou?

Oh. Ling Qingyu responded. After hearing Yan San go out, he relaxed and quickly got up to wash and dress.

When they came out of the restaurant in the front yard, Han Ju and Zheng Xi were already having breakfast. They had a tacit understanding and didn't mention what happened yesterday. They just talked about the layout in Huai'an, Wuhu and other places.

Wuhu, I remember printing and dyeing is very famous? Ling Qingyu took a bite of the steamed bun and said. The most famous polder she knew was actually in Wuhu. Unexpectedly, Han Zong also had the idea to build the best place there. In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were three of the best polders there, making Wuhu one of the four major rice markets.

Yes, there are many local specialties. Han Zong said with a smile.

Yun Kai looks at the color of the trees, and Jiang Jing listens to the sound of the tide. It is indeed a good place. I must go and have fun when I come back next time. Ling Qingyu nodded. After thinking for a while, he added: If you go, see if you can build a wharf. The mouth of the Yangtze River is deep, and domestic ships can transport goods directly in.

Does the boss want to use the Yangtze River shipping service? Han Xiu stopped using his chopsticks and asked.

No, shipping on the Yangtze River is not that easy. The area around the two lakes is fine. When you enter Shu, there are floods and floods. I just want to distribute the goods from Quanzhou. Now Quanzhou has built four more sea-going ships. If there are more, I don't want to just transport spices and treasures. I want to bring some raw materials, such as iron, copper and sulfur. ​​Ling Qingyu took a sip of porridge and continued: To be honest, the money this time is a bit too much, but I As a female householder, anyone can point their finger at me. If I keep the cash, why not cooperate with others in some industries, such as iron-making, forging, and forestry? You can try these.

So, this can't be done in a day or two. Han Ye also pondered. He could now understand why when they first met, Ling Qingyu told them that he was willing to support them in taking the imperial examination and becoming officials.

I didn't expect it to be done in a day or two, Ling Qingyu said with a smile: I'm still young now, so I can run a few more times. I just need to do these things when I have the opportunity. Just opening a shop won't work without manufacturing.

Understood. The master's intention is that we not only want polders, but also mountains and forests, and at the same time, we can also do smelting when we have the opportunity. Han Ye nodded. When the lifeblood of this country is unknowingly in her hands, who dares to despise her! (Brother Han, the head of your family really doesn’t think so. She just wants to make money and then kill those idiots)

Ling Qingyu took out another hundred thousand taels of silver notes and gave them to Han Xie, and then said to Zheng Xi: Use the cash you have there if you want. We are in the expansion period now, but we must pay attention to playing it safe and secure. We still need to find reliable ones in the early stage. People, good management, and able to see real benefits.”

Yes. They both responded at the same time.

After what happened in Huai'an, Ling Qingyu felt more anxious to go back and only urged Yan San to hurry up. It turns out that she knew that being rich was dangerous, but after all, nothing specific had happened yet. Now thinking about the goods and gold in Quanzhou and on the Fengshen, in fact, the government could just find an excuse to seal it for you, and she felt frightened. I will keep the goods in my shop for a year, keep the gems and jades, and sell the rest. Anyway, these goods will be available after traveling. If they are really sold out, there will be no place to cry. Wept. Thinking of this, I started to think about Xiao Rong's good things again.

It was already August when we returned to Hangzhou, and it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival. The festive atmosphere in Hangzhou was very lively. Ling Qingyu thought that he would have a chance to see it in the future, so he decided to leave as soon as possible.

The Fengshen had already made a round trip and brought back the remaining goods and 3.5 million taels of silver notes.

Those are said to be big businessmen from Bianliang. Mr. Fan's steward came forward. After reading your letter, my adoptive father agreed to sell them even though the price was not high. Ding Dong handed over the banknotes and The manifest was handed to Ling Qingyu.

Most of the goods in Quanzhou were removed. If compared with the price he sold in Hangzhou, it was indeed a bit lower. But in the current situation, Ling Qingyu felt lucky. It seemed that he owed Master Fan another favor. According to her instructions, the gems were not moved and were all brought to Hangzhou. There were also some treasures such as ivory, coral, pearls and tortoise shells. These can be sold here in Hangzhou. Less than one-fifth of the spices, condiments and treasures were left. One.

Ling Qingyu glanced at Cai Jingfang. He had lost a lot of weight and looked more energetic. He thought it was because Shi Fang had taken good care of himself, so he said to him: Xiaocai, I will keep the goods from your shop here for one year. Then There are several boxes of jadeite. You keep one box, find some good craftsmen, and send the rest to Zheng Xi. You and Zheng Xi will get half of these medium and low-grade gemstones. Mr. Xu has a piece of official land for sale. You must bid for it. Take it down.

Yes. Cai Jingfang nodded. Most of the official land in Xu Chang is mountain forest, and the fields are small patches of fields mixed in the mountains, but they are very suitable for the needs of the family. Trees and bamboos are planted on the mountains, and papermaking, printing and dyeing can be done at the foot of the mountains. The fields in the mountains You can plant safflower, a raw material for dyeing cloth, without having to work hard to cultivate it, and the efficiency is much higher than farming.

Ling Qingyu flicked the thick silver note in his hand and said: Xiaocai, help me change some cash, find a place to make a bank, dig a silver cellar, I, the boss, want to see how the house is filled with shiny silver. ah!

Pfft! Several people who were listening to the training seriously all burst out.

By the way, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Please prepare gifts for side dishes. All major officials will send one. Mr. Xu, instead of sending banknotes, send some medicinal materials and medicinal spices. Ling Qingyu returned to the topic again, road.

Yes. Cai Jingfang responded. In fact, the main gift is Zhao Pu, and the rest is basically a few hundred taels of silver. Now they have a lot of in-demand commodities, so if they seal one or two hundred taels of silver notes and add some in-demand commodities, those officials will be very useful. It's just that Xu Chang is an upright official, so giving money would be a slap in the face. Indeed, as the leader said, medicinal materials are still practical.
