wealthy queen

"That won't work. How can you bear such a heavy expense alone? I think all their expenses should be included in the accounts of the Freemason Church, and we should share the burden."

Xiang Zhuo frowned and objected loudly when he heard the words, without even thinking about it, as far as he knew, there were hundreds of children gathered in the Dongling Palace, and the number might reach more than a thousand in the end. The cost of raising them is long-lasting and staggering. For one person, the burden is too heavy. The meaning of the Freedom Church is to help and serve the people. Those children are also people, so they should share the burden.

"This time I support Xiaozhuozi, Liangliang, we know you don't want us to be burdened too much, but don't forget, my Murong family has plenty of money, since this small army is composed of little beggars, then It should be counted as our contribution, and you can’t monopolize it by yourself.”

"Seconded."

His proposal received strong support from Wei Tan, and Murong An and He Rong seconded the proposal in unison, which made Shen Liang a little dumbfounded: "OK, OK, you are all rich people, you have the final say, as for the initial investment, we The six people here are all sure they want to join, right?"

This is not a big deal, and Shen Liang is too lazy to argue with them, anyway, everyone is not short of money, it doesn't matter who pays, the key is whether the problem can be solved.

"Ah."

Xiang Zhuo, Wei Tan, Murong An, and He Rong nodded at the same time. Wei Yue thought for a while and said, "Counting Xiaoxuan, they should be here in two days."

Now they are also people with status and status, and they are fully qualified to join it. He believes that Xiaoxuan should not want to miss it, although from the current point of view, this is indeed a bottomless pit, no matter how much money is invested, it will not be recovered. But they didn't set up the Freedom Hall to make money, and he also believed that he and Zhong Yun would do a good job in this matter and reach a balance of income and expenditure as soon as possible.

"That also counts Tianyu and Yanyan. I will help them pay for the initial investment."

Hearing this, Wei Tan also took the opportunity to suggest that Tianyu and Xie Yan would definitely not miss such things.

"Tianyu is fine, if Xie Yan..."

Murong An hesitated a little, they are from the Xia Kingdom now, and Xie Yan is the queen of the Wei Kingdom.

"It's true, if you say that he...doesn't it count as him?"

After he said it, Wei Tan also thought of this, but Shen Liang's eyes flickered, and he lowered his eyes and said: "No, let's count the thank you words first, and no one can say for sure what will happen in the future. One is together, isn't it?"

"Ah."

Wei Tan and Xiang Zhuo nodded vigorously, and they didn't want anyone among the five to be absent.

"In this way, we have a total of nine partners. Since the investment in the early stage is relatively large, and the income is basically zero, I suggest that each person spend [-] silver to maintain the operation. What do you think?"

One hundred thousand silver is not a small amount, but to the few people present, it is not a big money, especially Wei Tan, who claims to be not short of money, he is probably the richest among them now.

"No problem, we can also invest in Zhuangzi with more surplus money. By the way, Liangliang, with so many officials this time, there should be a lot of Zhuangzi shops under their name, right? Can we buy them cheaper? ?”

As expected of the head wife of the Murong family, Wei Tan immediately aimed at the business opportunity, and Shen Liang couldn't help laughing: "It's no problem to buy, but the money we collected is to be invested in the relocation of the people and the maintenance of the Freedom Hall. If you can’t get much sponsorship, you probably won’t have much money to spare.”

That being said, Shen Liang himself has already aimed at the shops and Zhuangzi of those officials who were seized by the Ministry of Punishment, and will hand them over to the Ministry of Households after the Ministry of Punishment is sorted out. The economic foundation determines the superstructure, and he personally needs to buy some Zhuangzi shops as fixed assets. , so as to leave it to the children in the future and lay a solid foundation for their future.

"It counts as much as you have. I also know Zhong Yun's business ability. Buy two or three shops first, and he will double them in the future."

There won't be much left, but there won't be nothing. The current environment is much better than when they first opened the alms shop in Qin State. At that time, they had some spare money to invest in Zhuangzi's shop. .

"You don't need to buy the shop. Didn't I say it? In the early days, the imperial court would rent us a whole street of shops for free. The Freemasonry Hall will definitely not run out. I have asked Zhong Yun to plan to open a shop for the rest. One year later, the rebuilding of the slums was almost completed, and a whole street of shops was enough for us to use. If we want to buy it, it is best to buy Zhuangzi, and we can also arrange some people to help in Zhuangzi, killing two birds with one stone. "

"Okay, you have the final say. I'll ask the shopkeeper of the Murong family to help promote the sponsorship, try to raise as much money as possible, and buy more Zhuangzi. You can also tell the emperor that the price will be cheaper for us."

Whether they can take advantage of it or not, they are all for the common people, right?After all, those properties belong to the Freemaid Church, not to them personally.

"All right, all of you, please pay attention to those of you who want to buy private property. We will do it together when the time comes."

They cleaned up all the properties of the Qin State, and came to the Xia State with only money. The fixed properties must be purchased. This is also a great opportunity. The Ministry of Households only accepts money, and the properties that are seized are coming one after another. They will be sold and discounted in the future, and there are so many people waiting to buy, even they have to prepare money in advance.

"Well, I'll go back later and discuss it with my father and husband. Remember to tell me before the household department starts selling."

Murong An nodded, the Xiang family really needed to set up a Zhuangzi and a shop.

"I also want to go back and ask my parents and husband."

Xiang Zhuo has never cared about these things, but he is the head wife of the Jing family after all, so he has to think about future generations.

"Okay, I guess it will take ten and a half days for the Ministry of Punishment to sort out those assets and transfer them to the Ministry of Households. Let's talk about it at that time. Do you have any comments on the issue of the Freedom Hall?"

Those are small things, but the things in the Freemaid Church are the big things.

"Not yet, let's discuss it later."

Several people look at me and I look at you. Wei Tan's voice just finished, and Wei Yue picked it up: "Since you all have no objections, then Zhong Yun and I will start preparing from tomorrow."

The sooner this kind of thing is done, the better. As for the matter of the baby army, He Yang, Fan Li, and Yang Peng are assisted, and there is basically no need for them to intervene.

"No problem, I'll send the money to Dongling Palace later, Yue Yue, you and Zhong Yun will have to work hard in the future."

They used to do everything by themselves, and they knew better than anyone how troublesome and complicated those things were.

"It's nothing hard. After being idle for so long, I'm just about to flex my muscles."

Wei Yue is not being polite to them, maybe he is used to being busy, he is really not used to being idle in the palace every day.

"Yue Yue, can I help too?"

Is it not just him who is idle?As wives of the family, Wei Tan and the others are newcomers, and they all have their own affairs to attend to. Although He Rong is a princess, no one wants to get close to her. Now that Yi Teng has entered the palace, she is more free than anyone else, otherwise it would be impossible to get to know Xiang Zhuo and the others in just a few days.

"Of course, Liangliang, lend me Lei Yi, Pan Wei and Lingling too."

Wei Yue nodded, and unceremoniously asked for more, Shen Liang thought for a while, but did not refuse: "Well, you can tell them yourself later, now that the children are grown up, there are so many eunuchs following them every day , They don’t have to worry about taking care of their children anymore.”

As a member of the Netherworld Guard, it is indeed too wasteful for them to take care of their children.

"it is good."

This matter was almost decided, and everyone got together to discuss some details. When it came to those baby soldiers, He Rong asked suspiciously: "Liang Liang, are you planning to keep those children in Dongdong?" Mausoleum Palace?"

Although it is not impossible, the area of ​​the Tangling Palace is still quite large, but now none of them can guarantee that those children are all good, and it should be inconvenient when the Tangling Wang and his wife come back, especially if their family is still alive. There are two twin sons and legitimate sons who are slowly growing up, it doesn't matter now, and they will inevitably be gossiped about in the future.

"Of course it's impossible. In two days, I plan to summon the people from the Ministry of Industry to see if there are any buildings or open spaces that can accommodate them near the Imperial City Military Academy in the new city. In this way, they will not only have a place to practice, Uncle Jing It can also help me watch and train them, I don’t expect all of those children to become talents, but at least when they grow up, they can have the ability to self-report or support themselves.”

Shen Liang shook his head without even thinking about it. The gathered children were not a small number. He would not cause trouble for his elder brothers and them. At most, five of Bo Cheng and the others could stay in the palace. will migrate out.

"Ah That's good."

He Rong just nodded, and the little Zhuozi beside him inserted into their conversation with a pastry in his hand: "Rongrong, don't worry about this kind of thing, Liangliang has always done things without leaking, there is nothing he can't think of, it's better to worry about him." Eating a few pieces of pastries can still fill your stomach."

"The table full of pastries can't stop your mouth, can it?"

"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat. Be careful to become a big fat man. Your family Xiran doesn't want you. It's up to who you cry to when the time comes."

Shen Liang and Wei Tan's complaints sounded almost simultaneously, and Xiang Zhuo, who was having a good meal, suddenly had a feeling that it was hard to swallow. He picked up the teacup and took a sip before retorting unhappily to Wei Tan: "Why can't you think about it?" How about me? What about the promised brotherhood? Did you chew it up and swallow it in your stomach?"

"If you want me to say hello, then you must have something good for me to say."

"I can't bear it anymore, Old Wei, please die!"

"Xiaozhuozi, be careful, Xiaotan has a child"

"Forehead……"

"Ha ha……"

Xiang Zhuo wanted to rush towards Wei Tan as soon as an eagle was rushing for food. Murong An broke out in a cold sweat and quickly reminded Xiang Zhuo that he had to brake urgently. Shen Liang and the others burst into laughter unceremoniously. These two people, from childhood to adulthood, have been playing soy sauce for children, but they still can't change their habit of love to flirt and blow hair.

"My lord, Ling Yunyi has brought the family members of the Ling family into the city."

"real?!"

While laughing, Yang Peng suddenly appeared. Except for He Rong, everyone present exclaimed in unison. Shen Liang, who was the first to react, quickly ordered: "Take the Ling family to settle down in the General's Mansion, and let Yun Yi take Brother Lin, Brother Xuan and the children came to the palace for lunch, and by the way, inform the emperor to ask him to keep Brother Xiran Qing and the others, and let's have a good gathering at noon."

"it is good."

Seeing him happy, Yang Peng was also happy, and Wei Yue stood up: "I'll go tell my father that he has been worried about Xiaoxuan and the children, and now I can finally feel at ease."

At this point in time, Wei Zeqian is usually accompanying the children in class.

"Ah."

Then Shen Liang ordered the imperial dining room to add more food at noon. Everyone talked about the Ling family's affairs lively. She is greedy, and she is no exception. When she first had her first friend, she was really satisfied and felt that her whole life was complete. Later, through Liangliang, she met Wei Tan and the others and became friends with them. , but she is not satisfied now, and wants to have more and more friends.
