The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo
Chapter 164 Let the Shen family prosper
This Lu Yunzhou was better hidden than Aunt Shi. The Queen was sure that not even the Emperor's people found him.
Not to mention Prince Ling, he may not even know that I have people from the Mo clan under my command!
Therefore, the queen was very confident that Lu Quzhou's trip to Guangzhou would definitely not be noticed by King Ling's people, so that she could safely and boldly inquire about the information.
The Queen is used to being smooth, and no one she wants to deal with has escaped her grasp. Even King Ling didn’t escape back then!
Wasn't he paralyzed for three years? And this Shen Dongsu actually escaped one after another.
A little village girl, so slippery. The harder it is to catch her, the more the queen's rebellious mentality wants to catch her.
Regarding the witch doctor incident, she didn't even force out the person behind her. With just a few words, that idiot Li Linyu was defeated.
Of course the queen also scolded the prince, but this is what mothers do. If they blame others before anything goes wrong, they will naturally not blame their own son first.
The prince did not handle this matter well because the people around him did not do a good job. The prince's concubine was holding him back, and Li Linyu was useless.
King Ling and King Ling are too cunning, the emperor is partial, and the officials of Dali Temple are timid...
However, the queen had already thought of a new strategy. Before Lu Yunzhou brought back the evidence, she found another way to make Shen Dongsu show his fox tail.
Didn't the emperor say she was a doctor? Isn't it said in Chang'an City that her medical skills are superior to those of Tai Hospital, and can she cure all terminal diseases that Tai Hospital cannot cure?
So what if she didn't dare to come forward when the court needed her as a doctor? Or when the imperial court strongly supported her as a miracle doctor, she was useless?
The queen sneered and ordered the female official: "Send a secret message to Lin Wenlang of Minzhou."
The female officer hesitated for a moment, and then the queen glanced sharply: "What? What do you have to say?"
The female officer Qiqi Ai Ai said: "Aunt Shi is not in Chang'an. If things get out of hand..."
The Queen snorted coldly and said: "It's just a few untouchables who died, what does it have to do with it? It's really out of control, and she, Princess Ling, is the one who is responsible. What does it have to do with this palace?"
The female officer was heartbroken. She was a pariah. Her family was also a pariah.
The recent headaches for the queen, apart from the annoying Shen Dongsu, are also the fact that Chen family members come to the palace every now and then to cry.
What should Chen Xingzhen do? We have to get him back quickly, because Youzhou is almost like the gate of hell!
First, the sister-in-law and niece came to the palace to cry. Seeing that the crying was useless, Mrs. Chen, the queen's mother, went to the palace to cry.
The queen was so upset that she was angry that her family was useless, especially her nephews, who didn't even have anyone who could help the prince.
She was also angry that the emperor was so ruthless. Even though Shen was an outsider, she didn't want her life. The emperor actually sent her nephew to Youzhou!
And King Ling, I really didn’t realize that he was still an infatuated person!
For the sake of the Shen family, Lian had planned to give up the Youzhou military power for so long, and gave it to the Chen family.
Just stay in Chang'an City with the Shen family! The queen didn't believe that King Ling really did it for the beauty. It must be the person behind the Shen family who attracted King Ling's attention.
Which wealthy family betrayed her? Dare to change your daughter's name and marry him to Prince Ling?
The reason why the queen determined that Shen Dongsu was not a peasant girl, but because she had the support of a wealthy family, was not only because of her manner of speaking and manners, which was definitely not that of a peasant girl.
What's more, the queen has found out that the money in Prince Ling's mansion has been much more recently than before.
Her understanding of King Ling was more comprehensive than King Ling thought. Especially the amount of money Prince Ling spent in Youzhou was far beyond her expectation.
Others went to Youzhou to make money, but King Ling, who had not arrived yet, went to Youzhou to invest a lot of supplies.
How much output can Prince Ling's Mansion alone produce? Without the support of nobles and businessmen, he could only rely on the support of his wife's family.
snort! The Shen family, the whole family packed it up and sold it, but they couldn't make up a hundred taels of gold!
Therefore, the Queen concluded that the Shen family was just a cover, and there was definitely another wealthy family behind Shen Dongsu.
She must find out this family, and only then can the noble family unite and grow under the imperial power. If they are divided, death will not be far away.
The queen was thinking about how to defeat Prince Ling and Shen in one fell swoop so that the emperor could never think of deposing the prince again.
Shen Dongsu was also thinking of ways to severely defeat the princelings. There was no way to prevent thieves for a thousand days, the queen would always come up with a move like this every now and then.
If she doesn't do well in business, she will also hinder Ling Moxiao.
If it hadn't been for this witch doctor case, they would have almost reached Youzhou!
Although Ling Moxiao didn't care at all and repeatedly comforted her, Chen Xingzhen's departure would make these nobles see clearly how useless their children were.
However, Shen Dongsu had a knot in his mind, and once again devoted his energy to deal with the queen with the same energy he used to save Sister Ayuan.
She also has to worry about her family. She has already written a reply to Zhong Yang, asking Shen Linzhong to find a way to get that strange female doctor away from Shenjia Village no matter what.
At the same time, she also thought of several new businesses for her family. She already felt that it was impossible for her to safely be Princess Ling for three years by herself.
She needed backup, she needed people, she needed money.
She doesn't have a strong family backing her like other noble ladies, so let's build a strong family ourselves!
The Shen family is not short of people. Guangzhou is King Ling's territory. If it has such a good advantage, it cannot develop.
She had broken her contract with Prince Ling a long time ago and wanted to go home and be a peasant girl in peace to avoid being swallowed up in Chang'an City.
Doing business must be tailored to local conditions. As far as the Shen family currently has, Grandpa Shen raises ducks. In addition to duck eggs and dried ducks, there is also a huge blank market for down!
Guangzhou is suitable for growing Maojian, and there are small tea gardens near Shenjia Village. However, the quality of the tea in Guangzhou is not that good, and it cannot be sold at a high price, nor can it be sold in Yizhou.
Then improve the tea-frying process. Drinking clear tea is not popular these days, and most of the people you drink are burnt tea.
There will be a lot of ingredients, such as Leicha and Babao tea. There are more ingredients in the tea than the milk tea of later generations.
The most suitable way to drink Maojian is clear tea or Kung Fu tea.
First, let Mr. Shen build a tea garden. With Jiang's sales, he is not afraid of not being able to sell it at a high price.
Before that, she first launched various tea snacks in Chang'an City, including matcha, Kung Fu tea, and dim tea, and first made the reputation of Maojian tea famous.
Slowly let Gwangju Maojian become the top-quality green tea!
She knew that it was too slow to make money just by relying on tea and down, so she added wine.
The high-strength distilled wine she made specifically for perfume has been packaged by Butler Liu and turned into fine wine, which was sold at an auction house for a sky-high price.
She did not sell the technology for distilling liquor to Ling Moxiao, so she still has the right to use it and can develop a new brand herself.
For this reason, she specifically asked Ling Mo Xiao if it was okay?
Ling Moxiao replied in a helpless and distressed tone:
"Of course! Dongsu, why can't you remember what I said so many times?"
"I support whatever you want to do!"
Shen Dongsu said sheepishly: "Aren't I afraid that the Shen family will compete with you for business?"
Ling Moxiao smiled and said: "My wife's business is booming, it's not too late to be happy for her husband."
No matter how many times he teases her like this, Shen Dongsu will still feel embarrassed. But with his words, she could safely let the Shen family open a wine shop.
In addition to business, she also asked Grandpa Shen to prepare to build an ancestral hall and open a clan school.
Especially Zhongyang and Xiaohu, they must study hard for me, take exams for boys and girls, and provide one-stop arrangements for them!
During her time in Chang'an, she had fully understood that there was no one in the court, no matter how much money she made by doing business, in the eyes of the nobles, she was just a piece of fat!
Everyone wants to take a bite. What if we reach the level of the Jiang family in business?
The Jiang family owns private ships. During the Great Xia Sea Ban, there were only a few companies that could do maritime business.
In this way, the Jiang family even married their legitimate daughter to a wealthy nobleman in order to gain some connections with the nobleman and keep their own business.
According to Ms. Jiang, the Jiang family spends more on management every year than they make from holding an auction.
Shen Dongsu simply couldn't imagine that if the Shen family didn't have Prince Ling to take care of them, their business would have been robbed long ago.
You can’t just rely on King Ling! She positions herself as a high-end wage earner and a contract princess.
We must help King Ling make money and help him achieve his goals, instead of holding him back!
Therefore, she must be able to protect herself, her life, her family, and the money she earns!
She finished writing down, tea, and wine business plans for these three major businesses late at night.
He sealed it with fire paint and said to Prince Ling sheepishly: "This family letter is a bit long."
Prince Ling looked at the letter, which was thicker than a book, and said with a smile: "I only hope that if Dong Su writes a letter home to me, he can write such a long letter."
Shen Dongsu felt uneasy for a moment: "Are you saying we have to separate?"
She didn't even know it, her voice was trembling, and she grabbed Ling Moxiao's hand unconsciously, her eyes widening.
Her behavior greatly pleased Ling Moxiao, who hurriedly comforted her and said:
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
Shen Dongsu blamed himself: "I thought you wanted to go to Youzhou by yourself."
Ling Mo Xiao gently hugged her and let her head rest on his chest:
"Dong Su, I trust you enough to give you my life."
"Please, trust me too. I will never abandon you."
Shen Dongsu thought for a long time and hummed softly.
Since he can't go to Youzhou for the time being, defeating the queen and the prince will not be possible in a short time.
So Shen Dongsu once again invested in making money, and she no longer dared to meet Jiang openly.
She was afraid that the Queen's people would find out and embarrass the Jiang family.
Fortunately, the two families were close, and Yue Jian could deliver the letter quickly. She first asked the lady Jiang who came to see her recently, what kind of things did she want to buy the most? She's ready to stock up.
Mrs. Jiang made a list, and she discovered that the most ordered items were glass products!
I can't help but find it funny how these rich people look! If you knew that the price of colored glass would be the same as that of sand in the future, would you regret it and want to kill me?
But it’s a laugh, we won’t be lenient at all with the money we deserve.
In addition to the impure glassware that is half green and half yellow, she is already improving the formula to see if she can make a glass mirror.
And the formula must be strictly controlled, and the product should be high-end. Just like perfume, a small amount of goods should be shipped in Chang'an City every month.
She planned to use the Jiang family's connections to sell a large amount of colored glaze overseas to earn money from foreign businessmen.
After all, even if foreigners find out in the future that the glazed ware they bought as family heirlooms was made from sand, there is no way they can come to Chang'an City and hack her to death...
The second surprising item is not the perfume, but the leather bag. This is easy to handle, but crocodiles are infested in central Hunan, and the people form groups to kill the crocodiles.
She paid for the crocodile skin, and people would only regard her as a good person.
She discussed with Ling Moxiao and officially built a leather goods workshop in Guangzhou. Produces leather bags, leather shoes, leather belts and leather jackets.
The best tanners were from the Western Regions. Ling Moxiao arranged for someone to go to the Western Regions to recruit a group of craftsmen and send them quietly to Guangzhou.
When Shen Dongsu heard that he had sent people to the Western Regions, he asked him to bring back some cochineal insects from the Western Regions.
This is the best raw material for making lipstick. With cochineal insects, lipstick can be sold more expensive than perfume.
She quickly sorted out her thoughts, and the Shen family engaged in a down-to-earth civilian business, focusing on small profits but quick turnover.
Prince Ling's Mansion is engaged in luxury goods business, just to make money from noble nobles and wealthy businessmen.
At the same time, she also wanted to help Ling Mo Xiao attract people's hearts and establish a reputation, so she asked Ling Mo Xiao.
What big price cuts can help him win over people?
Ling Moxiao didn't quite understand at first, so she gave an example:
"Like the golden sore medicine before, your army can't even buy it. It's extremely expensive and is controlled by a few noble families."
"Later, with the formula of gold sore medicine I gave you, your soldiers will no longer be short of gold sore medicine."
"It's this kind of business. Can I help you by lowering the price of something?"
Ling Moxiao thought about it seriously, looked at the desk and pointed at the book:
"If the price of this book can be brought down, scholars all over the world can afford to buy books, instead of borrowing books from noble families and copying them."
"That book will capture the hearts of scholars all over the world! It will also break the monopoly of the academies by the nobles and allow more scholars to come from poor families."
Shen Dongsu understood what he meant. These days, there are few scholars, but scholars are highly valued. Seventy percent of officials come from noble families, just because books are expensive.
Books were expensive, but books were scarce. The gentry collected books, monopolized academies, and monopolized educational resources. That's why the imperial power was restricted.
Thinking about studying history in previous lives, this problem was not solved even in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. It was only during the Song Dynasty that the printing industry developed and books became affordable to the people.
There were more and more scholars among the people. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, scholars were everywhere and there were schools everywhere.
In the past, books could only print the words of saints, but in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, novels flourished. Because paper and printing have become cheaper!
She quickly found the problem, because there were so few books! There are so few books because the printing industry is not good enough!
Printing a book and opening a Yangdiao these days, and having to get the emperor's approval, is a big deal.
If the printing industry develops and other books are not allowed to be printed, fine!
Those books such as the Thousand-Character Classics, Hundreds of Poems, The Analects of Confucius, and the Four Books and Five Classics should be printed!
I will print these books and sell them at low prices, and I will engrave the name Ling Mo Xiao Publishing House on the back. Which scholar in the world can not be grateful to King Ling!
When she told Ling Mo Xiao her plan, Ling Mo Xiao naturally supported her strongly. But he expressed doubts about the movable type printing mentioned by Shen Dongsu.
Because it doesn't sound real, just carve words on clay blocks, arrange them and combine them, and then print them into a book?
In fact, Shen Dongsu had no skills herself. She learned movable type printing in a history class in middle school, and then made some calligraphy clay by herself in a handicraft class.
Then, when I was eating later, I watched electronic mustard and various documentaries.
But what is she afraid of? We have money and some people have time, so let’s try it slowly! After trying dozens of times, you can always succeed!
