Neighbors with powerful ministers

The second master recently learned a new sentence from the eldest princess, "You unbelievable thing", and everyone will say this sentence when he sees it.

Zhan Huanran, who was renting a room at Chaoci’s house, bid farewell to his friends at the door that day, and the second master rushed out with Feilian from nowhere, imitating the tone of the eldest princess, and said this sentence like a flying fairy: "It's really disappointing!"

The two were startled, thinking that the eldest princess had arrived, but when they found out that it was an oolong, they joked with each other, saying that even parrots look down on you.

But both of them agreed that this was actually the Eldest Princess talking about Xie Jie.

Even Xie Jie himself felt that way, if his mother didn't scold him for a day, he would feel uncomfortable all over.

On the contrary, it's the little cousin Gu Guan who studies hard in the small courtyard every day, who will get angry and argue with others, so it's not about the cousin!

But if others asked, "If it wasn't Xie Jie, who was it?", Gu Guan couldn't answer, and he couldn't insist that it was Fang Chaoci next door.No matter how much Gu Guan doesn't like Fang Chaoci, he can't open his eyes and talk nonsense.

But in fact... what he was talking about was really Fang Chaoci.

Fang Chaoci dared not look directly into the eyes of his future mother-in-law for several days, wondering what he did to dissatisfy her old man.The Eldest Princess didn't even give a hint, saying that she would leave them alone, but she really didn't intend to, and she kept her word!

The days passed by leisurely, and there was still no result in the debate on whether to negotiate peace with the barbarians in the court.Fortunately, the barbarians were too busy to take care of themselves, and hadn't had time to break up with Da Qi.

On the contrary, King Yan of Qi Kingdom finally arrived.

Until King Yan came, Xie Jie didn't realize that the royal family of Qi Kingdom who gave him something was not a princess or prince who had a crush on his father for many years, but a crush on his mother.

Princess Dachang didn't even know that King Yan was trying to walk her son's curvy road of saving the country.

The reason is simple, it is impossible for Xie Jie to keep those gifts from Qi Kingdom until his mother returns.Xie Jie said, this is not intentional to pierce his mother's heart, his father has been down there for many years, and letting his mother be jealous again is simply looking for trouble.It was rare for Xie Jie to issue a gag order in a serious manner, strictly forbidding people in the house to make irresponsible remarks with his mother.Although everyone didn't think it was a gift from the eldest princess' rival in love, they also felt that it was really not a big deal. As long as the eldest princess didn't ask, they would naturally not talk too much.

As for the saddle, which was a bit of a military secret, Xie Jie wanted to throw it away reluctantly, but Fang Chaoci took it away, saying that he wanted to study the recycling of waste.

Xie Jie didn't know and didn't care about whether the research produced something or not.

Recently, Xie Jie's focus has been on what should he continue to do when he has a large amount of money, a large amount of continuous money?

These steady streams of income naturally come from rent.

After the eldest princess took over Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing, she never asked Xie Jie to send any money, and Xie Jie's daily expenses went to the public account of the mansion.In other words, these rents, which are constantly rising with market fluctuations, can only be bought and sold, and it will be enough for Xie Jie to save a fortune in a short time.The man in the house also said very shrewdly that he only accepts coins, not banknotes, which barely keeps up with inflation.

Daqi already had banknotes, called Jiaozi.A coin substitute jointly launched by the government and the chamber of commerce.

It was originally intended to solve the problem for people who are inconvenient to travel with a large amount of coins, and it was also very popular when it was first circulated.However, with the turmoil in the country, the counterfeiting technology is always higher than the anti-counterfeiting technology, and the abuse of issuing gold and silver as margins without equivalents, etc., Jiaozi finally ushered in the inevitable inflation and credit bankruptcy.

Nowadays, a lot of Jiaozi is just a lot of paper with writing on it.

The imperial court is also battered by this. Fortunately, it is said that it is slowly adjusting, further improving various problems at the beginning of Jiaozi's birth, and making the last effort, hoping to turn the tide.

But just in case, Zhai Lao still chose to refuse to accept the handover.

For this reason, Xie Jie was of course read another book by the courtiers.The emergence of Jiaozi, on the one hand, is that the coins are not convenient to carry, and on the other hand, it is also because Daqi’s copper coins are always in circulation in the market, and then they are gone, and they are repeatedly banned and flowed to surrounding countries, and even farther across the ocean.The imperial court even switched to iron coins instead of copper coins, and the salaries for officials also insisted on giving out Jiaozi.

As a very influential clan, Xie Jie took the lead in refusing to hand over sons, so naturally he would be admitted.

But at that time, Xie Jie supervised the country, and he could be overwhelmed by participating in his idle papers every day.

However, for this reason, Fang Chaoci still met Yan Sheng like fate.It was Yan Sheng who also got a drunken hibiscus at the old Shao Guogong's autumn outing banquet.He works at the Yushitai, where he supervises the censors, and a large part of his job is to participate in this and that, and fight one by one, so that he can make his way to the top.

I don't know if Yan Sheng has any objections to Xie Jie, but he always visits Xie Jie as soon as something happens, and his positive energy makes other censors have nothing to say.

As for the information that Xie Jie managed to get from Tianshi, this future one of the three flowers, and Fang Chaoci can be said to have been fighting for a lifetime.

At the beginning, Xie Jie thought about whether he should ease the tension for the two of them earlier. Whether it is better to settle the enemy or not to end it, no matter when Yan Sheng became the chief executive, Fang Chaoci and him felt very uncomfortable.

But fate is so magical, Xie Jie, who least wants Fang Chaoci to offend others, is the fuse of Fang Chaoci and Yan Sheng's dislike of each other.

"Actually, he's right to participate." Even if Xie Jie told Fang Chaoci like this.

Of course, Xie Jie couldn't like someone always staring at him and finding fault with him, but he also had to admit that Yan Sheng was right in some places.What he did was really bad, and he knew it himself, he just didn't plan to take care of it.How should I put it, just always test back and forth on the edge of the law.

Fang Chaoci replied with a smile every time: "Well, our son is really generous, I am not angry with Yan Yushi."

Then, the next day, he ordered the people below him to use Yan Sheng's pretext to confront him head-on.

But the strangest thing about this matter is that, with Fang Chaoci's method, he and Yan Sheng were evenly matched. Although there was a reason that they didn't want to hurt their muscles and bones and fight violently, they were still everywhere. It's weird.

Cough, let's talk about Xie Jie's net worth.

The reason was that the end of the year was approaching, and Xie Jie had a rare convulsion to look at the books, but he didn't know if he didn't read it, and his heart jumped out of excitement.If rent collection is the two most popular businesses in Daqi, it is really just waiting for the pie to fall from the sky.Even Xie Jie, who has no concept of money, was very moved.

By the way, another popular business is private lending.Xie Jie has no interest in joining this industry. Although almost everyone is doing it, he just thinks it's ill-gotten gains, and he won't do it anyway.

Xie Jie's fortune probably really ushered in a reversal in life after he had done enough reciting.

On this day, Empress Su, who had nothing to do in the palace, called Xie Jie, a social loafer outside the palace, into the palace, saying that she wanted to introduce Xie Jie a way to make money with money.

Jiang Zuo's palace was still so small, Xie Jie soon arrived at Empress Su's Renming Palace.

Although Xie Jie is a foreigner, no one really regards him as a gentleman from the queen mother to his mother. In the eyes of Queen Su, Xie Jie will probably be a baby all his life.In the past, when Shenzong was still a idle king, and Queen Su was still Princess Su, he would often call Xie Jie to the palace to have fun without any suspicion.

The opinion of the ministers is that as long as Shenzong has no objection, they naturally have no objection.

Shenzong's only opinion is, why can his wife play with his nephew?He's his nephew's best friend, okay?

The relationship between Shenzong and Empress Su is very confusing. It is hard to tell whether the relationship is good or bad.I pinch when we meet, but think again when we don't meet.Take Shenzong's visit to Mount Tai this time as an example. Every time Xie Jie went to see his aunt, the queen would not think about tea and food. Shenzong did not forget his queen, and he often wrote letters and came back without mentioning it. , He also personally supervised the affairs of the merchant ship that Queen Su returned from overseas.

Empress Su is nicknamed Golden Hands. Although she has no education, she is surprisingly good at doing business. She has many large merchant ships made with her own money, and they travel all over the world.When one of them came back, because it didn't understand the situation, it docked at the Shibo Division in Banqiao Town, Mizhou.

This must be a terrible loss. It is impossible for the barbarians to leave anything for Empress Su with the style of locusts crossing the border.Empress Su didn't count on it either, she just wanted Shenzong to bring her people back.Those were the people who had followed her for many years. The only thing Empress Su hoped for was that they were still alive.

Shenzong lived up to expectations and found all those who survived by chance, and brought back the merchant ships.The goods must be gone, but these people who survived the catastrophe actually hid some things, and there is no problem in maintaining a balance of payments.

After they found out that the queen hadn't forgotten them, and even wanted to rescue them at all costs, they were all grateful, and at the same time, they secretly brought back a big news for Queen Su, who is good and rewards good people.

What is the news, Xie Jie will know soon.

Empress Su called Xie Jie this time to talk about this matter. She wanted to take her baby to do something and make some money.

After all, Xie Jie is fifteen. Although Empress Su thinks that Xie Jie is still a baby, others don't think so. A man must have his own career when he is alive.Empress Su thought, since Xie Jie has no intention of government affairs, let's do business with her, she wants to see if this time things work out, who dares to say that the porpoise is useless!

When Xie Jie arrived, Empress Su was in the Hall of Renming... taking care of her vegetable fields.

Yes, vegetable field.Just like Shenzong likes to raise pigeons, Queen Su's hobby besides making money is to open fields and grow vegetables in her own home.In the past, it was planted in the palace, and later in the palace of Yongji. Now it is natural to show its strengths in the palace in Jiangzuo.When they came to Jiangzuo from Yongji, it happened to be summer. Although the sowing was a bit late, they still had a harvest at the end of the year.

Empress Su changed into clothes that were more convenient for work, and harvested there herself, without asking the maids in the palace to help.Because this is really one of her hobbies. Does anyone do their own hobbies with the help of others and watch them by themselves?

Although growing vegetables is too rustic, it's hard to buy her happiness.

Seeing Xie Jie came, Empress Su was not polite, she just said hello and continued to work in the field.Where did the palace come from?Naturally, it was originally used to transform the flower garden for the queen to enjoy the scenery.

Queen Su was really dressed like a standard old peasant woman, but the smile on her face couldn't be faked.

Xie Jie was also very curious about this, and wanted to see how much fun it could be, but before he got close, he was kicked out by Queen Su: "How can you do this? Quick, go to the house, there are earth dragons in the house , warm, and delicious food, just wait for my aunt for a while."

Although Empress Su didn't feel that farming was a job that was not suitable for noble people, and she even dared to order Shenzong to do this or that, but she naturally felt that this kind of work was not suitable for Xie Jie.For Empress Su, her precious little nephew is not a human being, but a fairy boy descending to the earth, drinking the morning dew, eating fallen flowers, beautiful in appearance, good fortune in heaven and earth, anyway, it goes well with tea, rice, oil and salt.

Xie Jie didn't insist either, he really didn't know how to do the work in the field, but he didn't enter the house alone, but wore a small cloak, held a small hand stove, sat on the small stool brought by the palace man, and waited. My aunt is busy.

Empress Su had nothing to do with Xie Jie, she could only coax a child, and stuffed an unknown big fruit into Xie Jie's arms, it was extremely sweet.

Xie Jie hugged the fruit that felt bigger than his face, and he ate the juice splashing all over, round and round, and basking in the sun, it didn't get too cold, but he felt very comfortable.When Empress Su occasionally looked over worriedly, he would return his aunt with a big smile, his eyes were black and white, and his intimacy was beyond words.

Xie Jie has two aunts, both of whom were queens. The eldest aunt is a noble family, and everyone praises the model of etiquette, but Xie Jie treats that person who seems to be far away from everyone, including his own son, no matter what. My aunt and mother can't get close.

On the contrary, it was the scumbag little aunt who was always laughed at by others, and Xie Jie got close to her from the bottom of her heart.

Xie Jie couldn't say why.Obviously everyone said that the eldest aunt was good at talking and was kind to others; but the younger aunt was very clumsy and couldn't say anything nice, even she herself said that she was stupid.But only the little aunt would worry and urge Jie to come into the house again and again: "It's warm in the house, but it's windy outside. You've just started to improve, don't worry about getting sick anymore."

"I've been healed for so long." Xie Jie opened his arms exaggeratedly and gestured to his little aunt, "It's been so long!"

Empress Su was teased and leaned back.

After a while, Empress Su stopped doing it.She looked careless, but she was more careful than anyone else, and brought Xie Jie, who insisted on staying aside, into the gorgeous palace ahead of time.

Empress Su didn't dare to change the layout of the palace indiscriminately, because she and her husband Shenzong had the same idea, they were only staying here temporarily, and sooner or later there would be a master who really suited them.She can't mess it up according to her own wishes.Empress Su knew very well that she didn't have that elegant taste, but she didn't feel inferior about it, she just didn't want to cause trouble for the juniors who moved in in the future.

What kind of queen's palace was built for the palace at the beginning, it is what it is now, neither increased nor decreased.

Except that the flowerbed at the entrance was used for planting, Empress Su only had that little hobby, thinking that she would change it back when she left, and it wouldn't be too much trouble to transplant some flowers and plants.

In the hall, besides the palace people, there are two other guests.

The soon-to-be prince Wenyin and the princess of Qi, the twins were wrapped in swaddling clothes, sleeping in the warm room with pink faces, making people feel comfortable just looking at them.

These two children grew cuter and cuter, but also... the longer they grew, the less they looked like each other.

Princess Qi could still see the shadows of Empress Dowager Nie and Emperor Wen, but Wen Yin really couldn't tell who she looked like.The eldest princess said that this child is like her mother, the empress of kindness Lin.Under the circumstances that her husband would go to the border from time to time and come back once a year or two, it can be said that Lin supported Wen's family alone.She tried her best to send away her mother-in-law who was lingering in the bed, raised three children with painstaking efforts, and suffered all her life, but in the end she couldn't enjoy a day of blessing.

On the day when she heard that Taizu, Taizong and Princess Dachang broke through the imperial city of the previous dynasty together, Lin passed away laughing in her dream.

At that time, only Emperor Ren and the ignorant Shenzong were by her side. According to Emperor Ren, she walked peacefully, happily and contentedly, and her eyes were full of imagination about the future: "In the future, you can have whatever weapon you want. Erlang can read as many books as he wants, Sanlang can eat whatever he wants, and he doesn’t have to suffer, that’s great, he doesn’t have to suffer.”

The fact is just as what Lin said, her children don't have to suffer anymore.She is the only one who hasn't worn silk and satin for a day, and hasn't eaten a meal of fine rice noodles, but she can still smile so happily.

Taizong and Lin's wives get together less often, and the two may not have spoken a hundred words in their lifetime, but Taizong's crown prince and empress have only Lin from the beginning to the end.

Basically, no one has ever met Mrs. Lin. Only Taizong and Princess Dachang know what Lin looks like. Even Shenzong doesn't remember what his mother looks like. Taizong has been immortal for many years, and now only Princess Dachang remembers .In Wen Tian's previous life, there were rumors and gossips. How could it be such a coincidence that Wen Yin didn't look like anyone, but she looked like a great-grandmother whom no one had seen her true face.

The angry eldest princess wanted to hit someone several times.

In this life, in order to prevent such slanderous words from happening again, the eldest princess specially invited out a portrait of her mother when Mount Tai was enshrining Zen.One actually didn't exist at all, but You Fang Chaoci took the initiative to make a portrait that is fake enough to be true.

Today, the courtiers who followed Shenzong to Mount Tai all said that His Highness resembled his ancestor.

When Empress Su went to change clothes in the side hall, Xie Jie sat on the couch and carefully looked at the little prince who was still whistling, but he still couldn't see from this flamboyant face To the kindness from grandmother Lin.

When Empress Su came back, Xie Jie was staring at her all the time.

The older baby looked at the two younger babies, and Empress Su became more and more amused as she watched, so she didn't make a sound until Xie Jie regained her senses, and then took him to talk, so as not to wake up the children.

"Your sister-in-law is too busy, so the child is basically with me during the day." Empress Su didn't feel disturbed at all, instead she took care of her and was very happy.A mother's love is devoted to her two grandnephews, "Nian'er is just like you when you were a child, very picky about food, and if you find a nanny, you can't do anyone else. Mengmeng has a big appetite, is always hungry, and cries loudly. , the loud voice always scares Nian'er..."

Queen Su's parenting scriptures can be recited from day to night, and she is more like a competent mother than Queen Mother Nie.

If he didn't know the future, Xie Jie would probably have to ask what his sister-in-law was up to.Now, he just wanted to ask when his uncle would abdicate as he wished.

After finally finishing talking about the two children, Empress Su remembered to tell Xie Jie about her overseas business.

Daqi’s Maritime Silk Road is not just for fun. You can travel anywhere in the world. If the sailing conditions and technology are not up to that point, it is estimated that the first navigator who proves that the earth is round will appear in Great start.

"My merchant ship this time came back from Mixuli (Egypt)." Empress Su took the initiative to introduce to Xie Jie.

Xie Jie didn't even know where Mi Xuli was. Fortunately, he had the Heavenly Stone, so he mainly introduced this ancient civilization that can be called the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms together with Daqi.However, Mi Xuli's civilization has long been submerged in the long flow of history in the era of Daqi, and now Mi Xuli is being ruled by a big cannibal (Arab).

The big cannibals are sometimes turbulent and not unified. In Daqi's understanding, they are divided into three types: white clothes big food, black clothes big food, and green clothes big food.

I said so much to make it easier for Xie Jie to know one thing: "Dashi has war horses, which are brave and fearless, have great endurance, and have a gentle personality without losing their alertness. They are used for fighting over there."

When Queen Su's people were overseas, they managed to get in touch with a group of big cannibals. They didn't need gold or silver, but only silk, porcelain, tea and other luxuries in the eyes of foreigners. The most needed strategic material right now.

"!!!"

The only thing Daqi needs to consider is how to make the horses withstand the long-term sea transportation without excessive damage.In this regard, Fang Chaoci gave useful suggestions that spanned the ages.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Xie Jie was taken aback.

"Of course, let your people take the lead in transporting them back." Although everyone knew that Empress Su had a merchant ship and was doing overseas business, after all, this cannot be said on the bright side, but it is different when it comes to Xie Jie.For Empress Su, what was more important was that Xie Jie had the credit of providing the war horse, so she didn't have to worry about others saying that her family Dolphin was uneducated all day long.

"Of course, we can also bring back some rare items from Mi Xuli."

As long as the boat doesn't capsize, it's a lucrative deal.Empress Su is even thinking about taking advantage of her current position in the south to open her own tea house.Tea can already be exchanged for a lot of things, and it happens that Xie Jie has a lot of land now.In fact, Emperor Wen not only gave Xie Jie Street back then, but also gave him a lot of fertile soil and terraced fields in the countryside with gold and silver, but these were not worth much at the time, and they were not worth mentioning.It's actually not worth anything now, but by using it this way, they can save a lot of costs in exchange for greater profits.Empress Su felt that it was a secret that Emperor Wen had been protecting his cousin.

"Go back and think about reliable manpower. Don't disclose the matter of the war horse to the outside world. You should set sail and leave soon." Empress Su would never dare to write such words on any paper. After leaving his confidant behind, he told Xie Jie himself.

Xie Jie also knew the priorities of the matter, and after agreeing, he didn't stay in the palace anymore, and planned to go back to discuss with the old man.

As a result, before returning home, he bumped into someone.

The author has something to say: Xie Jie: QAQ someone touches porcelain.
