Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chen Ying was caught off guard, he was still naked at this time, and Li Xiuning rolled up the quilt again, even if he wanted to cover it up, he couldn't find anything for a while.Chen Ying said with a guilty conscience: "Go out first!"

However, He Yue'er remained motionless, not even looking at Chen Ying.

Li Xiuning waved her hands and said, "Go out!"

Being disturbed by He Yue'er and the four beautiful maidservants in palace attire, Chen Ying was like a pot of cold water being poured on her, and she withered instantly.Chen Ying complained a little depressed: "Look, what is this called!"

"Normal things, normal heart!" Li Xiuning stared at Chen Ying and said with a smile: "The five of them are all your concubines, how are you satisfied?"

Chen Ying didn't know why and asked: "What concubine Teng?"

"Pretending to be ignorant!" Li Xiuning rolled her eyes at Chen Ying and said, "According to the rules, you are a duke of the state, and you can have one wife and eight children. Counting Yue'er, I will find five for you, and find the other three by yourself." !"

Teng concubine is generally a woman who is married to her husband's family together with her main wife. The higher-level concubine is this kind of sister-in-law who marries together; It is the maid dowry.The former who married in this way is the wife, and the latter is the concubine Teng.

The status of concubine Teng is much higher than that of concubine. She has a formal status and can attend formal banquets and so on.Such a system was very popular among nobles from the Warring States Period to the Three Kingdoms period. For example, Sun Quan's mother married her father Sun Jian together with her younger sister.From a political point of view, this system maximizes the interests of the married woman.If the woman who is the main wife dies or has no children, concubine Teng will take her place. The close relationship between concubine Teng and the "natal family" can still guarantee the interests of the "natal family".It might be cruel to say that, but it's true...

As he spoke, Li Xiuning waved his hand, and four beauties in palace costumes entered one by one.

From Chen Ying's point of view, these four beauties are all beauties with a score of 95 or above, and their bodies and appearances are impeccable.

Chen Ying smiled wryly, "Can I not?"

"No!" Li Xiuning said solemnly: "You are too powerful, I can't stand up, we sisters are of the same heart, so we have to work together!"

Chen Ying had no choice but to wash and change clothes under the service of four beauties in palace costumes.

Chen Ying felt infinite emotion in his heart: "Ancient times, it's so damn good!"

Chen Ying said half-heartedly, "So as I wish, I dare not ask."

Chen Ying turned to He Yue'er again and said: "Yue'er, thank you, go find the steward of the mansion and have breakfast together, I still have some things to order."

In the family of a wealthy gentry, where wives and concubines sit at different tables, Chen Ying doesn't pay much attention.Because of Li Xiuning's relationship with leading soldiers, she doesn't have much taboo against this concept.

Just when Li Xiuning was about to get up and walk out of the new house, He Yueer winked at Li Xiuning.It took Li Xiuning a long time before she realized it.

On the bed sheet, yesterday's wet liquid has dried up, but the blood stains are as red as plum blossoms reflected on the bed sheet.It was only then that Li Xiuning remembered that on the wedding night, she should put a snow-white silk scarf or sweat scarf under her body to prove Yuanhong. This scarf will be regarded as the most commemorative by women and hidden at the bottom of the box. He couldn't remember it at all. In this episode, Li Xiuning was nervous and forgot this crucial link, no wonder she was so angry.

Chen Ying laughed and said, "You just cut a piece of the bed sheet."

At noon on the second day of the wedding, there was a banquet to thank the loved ones, so Chen Ying should not neglect, but Xu Jingzong in the outer court was making arrangements, so naturally he would not neglect the guests.

Chen Ying summoned Lan'er, Hongxiu, Lvzhu, and sisters Gao Wenjin and Gao Wenxiu, the management maids of the mansion.Chen Ying is Liang Guogong at this time, and according to the ninth-rank official law, Chen Ying should be of the second-rank family.However, the Chen House is very simple, Xu Erniang is a concubine, and Xu Erniang is in charge of the accounts, while Lan'er is in charge of the keys to the treasury.

In the past, Chen Ying was not married, Lan'er and Xu Erniang were in charge of his inner courtyard warehouse, no one would say anything.But he is married, and it is his wife's right to control the accounts of the inner government, and it is not easy for Chen Ying to do it for him.

Chen Ying's original internal account only included his salary income, but now Chen Ying's official position is the guest of the third-rank prince, plus the champion general of the third rank, Shandong Daoxingtai Shangshu Youpushe, this official position is equivalent to the level of high-ranking officials in Tianjin in later generations , according to the salary payment standard of the Tang Dynasty, four hundred shi of rice per year, nine hectares of land, 38 handymen, and nine dishes of daily food (two liters of fine rice, eight liters of japonica rice, two liters of four liters of noodles) [-] liters of wine, [-] parts of mutton, [-] parts of sauce, [-] parts of vinegar, three pieces of melon, salt, soy sauce, green onion, ginger, sunflower, leek, etc.; ; charcoal, three catties in spring, and five catties in winter), which is about [-] Wen per month;

You can enjoy a free working lunch every day. Every year during the winter solstice of the Yuan Dynasty, five pieces of silk, gold and silverware, and various colors (including wives) will be given to each. Accessories); upon the death of myself, grandparents, or parents, 60 people in the tomb camp will be served for ten days, and all the utensils needed for funerals will be allocated according to the grade, and one hundred pieces of silk, cloth, cotton, etc., and one hundred stones will be presented.In special cases, there are rewards.General officials are evaluated every three years, and those with outstanding performance can get an increase in salary, otherwise, the salary can be deducted.

In fact, with Chen Ying's salary income, the Chen family can't even use half of it.In fact, this is only a fraction of Chen Ying's income. The most important part is the income from his various workshops, shops, and banks.

As husband and wife are one, there is no need for Chen Ying to manage the accounts by himself.As a good man in the new era, handing over the economic power of the family to his wife is also a manifestation of loving his wife.

Li Xiuning didn't know if he didn't take over Chen Ying's finances, but he was taken aback when he took over.In particular, Ma Zhou reported to Li Xiuning the income and expenditure of the bank, as well as the surplus.

Li Xiuning was stunned when she learned that Chen Ying's bank had a surplus of one hundred thousand guan a year.

She knew that Chen Ying was rich, but she didn't expect Chen Ying to be so rich.

Datang’s treasury revenue is not enough to spend at all, except for military expenditures, only officials’ salaries are left to be distributed, but official salaries have been distributed since the day Datang was established, and Datang has not passed it in time, and even Chen Ying still owes [-] The usual salary has not been paid yet.

For the whole year of the second year of Wude, Datang’s financial revenue was about 380 million guan, which was the total income of 170 seven prefectures of Datang Longyou Road, Guannei Road, Jiannan Road, Hedong Road, and Shandong Road. On average, one The state's income is less than [-] guan.

And the income of Chen Ying Bank is actually equivalent to the income of the five states of Datang.

Regarding Li Xiuning's shock, Chen Ying said, where did it go?

Chen Ying is now so poor that he only has money left.

Then Xu Jingzong reported to Li Xiuninghui: "His Royal Highness, Chen Ji Chefang built a total of 27 carriages in the first half of the year, with a total surplus of 19 units!"

"Tiefang produced a total of 350 million jin of steel, with a surplus of 35 guan!"

"Wait, one hundred thousand guan, plus 19 guan, plus 35 guan! How much is this?" Li Xiuning suddenly felt that her brain was not enough.

Chapter 11 What you want to take must be given first (one more)

Chapter 11 What You Want, You Must Give

It is absolutely unfair to say that Li Xiuning has no knowledge, but Li Xiuning was shocked by Chen Ying.

In July of the 13th year of Daye, Li Yuan led an army of 170 to rebel against the Sui Dynasty.What gave Li Yuan the greatest confidence was that at that time Li Yuan had the support of many wealthy families such as the Li family of Longyou, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Wang family of Taiyuan, the Wen family of Taiyuan, and the Wu family of Bingzhou.At that time, the political donations Li Yuan received were [-] million guan, most of which were paid in food, armor, weapons and cloth.

Therefore, Li Yuan fought from Taiyuan to Chang'an and gained the name of benevolence and righteousness because Li Yuan had the support of money and food. He didn't need to rely on fighting to support fighting like Li Mi, Du Fuwei, and Dou Jiande.

Li Xiuning silently calculated an account, Chen Ying's income for one year is roughly equivalent to the income accumulated by dozens of generations of the Wang family in Taiyuan.If Chen Ying is willing, with his financial resources, he can fully arm a [-] army, as well as the food and supplies that the [-] army needs to consume.

Li Xiuning was shocked by Chen Ying's family property, and she murmured for a long time: "Originally, I thought that the book said that the wealth could rival the country, which was an exaggerated rhetorical technique, but I didn't expect that Chen Lang would actually be truly wealthy. "

Li Xiuning vaguely remembered that when Chen Yingchu was in the first year of Wude, he didn't even have the money to buy a house. The current house was bought by Chen Ying from Xu Jingzong by using the "Three Treasures of the Horse". It's short, it's not long, but Chen Ying has gone from being penniless to being extremely rich today.

Chen Ying smiled helplessly: "What is it that is so rich? You only see what is in front of you. In fact, there are many accidental factors. The market for four-wheeled carriages is saturated. Such a valuable carriage is not something that ordinary people can afford. , people who can afford it, almost all bought it, and it is uncertain whether there will be [-] guan in the second half of the year. Of course, the salt and iron court monopolizes it, and the Tang Dynasty was established. , why don't I take the initiative to hand it over."

"Hand it over? Why?" Li Xiuning said inexplicably, "Why, it's not our family that manages salt and iron. Taiyuan Wang's, Jingzhao Wei's, Xingyang Zheng's, Wenxi Pei's, none of them has a steel workshop ? Which one of their private salt?"

Chen Ying explained: "There is endless money in the world. We can't occupy all the ways to make money. You must know that people's eyes are dark, and their hearts are also dark. Blocking people's money is like killing their parents." No matter how good the relationship is, it cannot stand the test in the face of absolute interests."

Li Xiuning thought she didn't want to agree, but Chen Ying decided to transform the Chen Group, making a fortune silently is Chen Ying's kingly way.

Li Xiuning's understanding of money is not that deep, because as a princess of the Tang Dynasty, even when Li Yuan did not establish a country and become emperor, she never lacked Li Xiuning's expenses.A person who has never experienced money pressure feels like a string of numbers.

It took about half an hour, Li Xiuning took over Chen Ying's internal accounts without hesitation.

In the original Chen Mansion, there were few people and few things, and there were not so many rules.And Chen Ying, the master, is often not at home, and the Chen residence is not like a grand mansion at all.

But this marriage is different.Li Xiuning not only brought five Teng concubines, but also more than 120 children. These people were headed by Ma Sanbao, the steward of the outer court, and there were [-] maidservants in the inner court, and [-] maids who had been trained by the royal family. , and twelve eunuchs.At this time, Chen Ying also understood the reason why the ancients paid attention to well-off households. Generally, small people and small households, such as two thousand people, could not afford to support them.

Chen shouldn't mind manpower.The more the better, the steel factory and the salt factory will not be able to do it in the future, Chen Ying's industry will be transformed, and the consumption of human resources will also be endless.

At noon when Chen Ying entertained the guests, Li Xiuning ignored everyone's criticism and went back to bed to sleep soundly.She was really tossed hard, but she was still comfortable lying on the bed.

Chen Ying also invited the guards of the Zhechong mansion to a banquet, and went to Qinglinli to toast with the craftsmen of the various workshops under the name of the Chen family in turn.However, Chen Ying learned the lesson this time. He asked Guo Luo to hold a wine jar full of water. He just smeared some wine on the mouth of the jar, and it smelled like wine.

However, Chen Ying was not feeling well after drinking a stomach full of water, and when he returned to Chang'an City again, it was almost time to close the city gate.When returning to the Chen Mansion, Li Xiuning woke up slowly.

Li Xiuning watched Chen Ying come back and clamored to eat beggar's chicken.
