The feudal lord is on Taobao every day

In the early morning of the second day, before dawn, the entire Shun Prince's Mansion went up to Xie Jing'an, and down to the servants, all got up and got busy.

Because it was the first time to show up in front of the aristocratic families in the fief, Xie Jingan changed his previous comfortable daily attire, wearing a complete set of princely clothes, and tied his black hair with a jade crown. He is heroic and mighty.

It's just that Xie Jingan thought it was good, but Manager Qin felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it for a long time, he wanted to drag Xie Jingan to let the maid smear his face. Xie Jingan rejected Manager Qin a few times before giving up angrily.

It was the third quarter of the hour, and the sky was already dark. Xie Jingan estimated that in another quarter of an hour, the aristocratic families would come to the door one after another, so he asked Manager Qin to open the middle door of the palace, and called Manager Liu to ask about the situation of the meal preparations. He said that nothing went wrong, everything was ready, and he gradually let go of the heart he was holding, and sat in the study for a while to stabilize his mind. He stood up and walked towards the flower hall step by step.

Today is a rare and lively day in Mozhou for more than ten years. Since the city gate was opened in the morning, people have been coming and going. What surprised the people along the road is that they don’t know what happened in Mozhou city. He actually watched exquisite carriages pulled by tall horses walking on the road one after another.

Although there is a curtain to cover the situation in the carriage, but from the exquisiteness of the carriage, the robust and heroic entourage, and the fact that there are many people but strict and orderly, one can imagine that the identity of the person sitting in the carriage should be How honorable.

Naturally, the common people don't know or care about how the people in the carriage imagine. At this time, they are also looking at the scene along the street in Mozhou from the corner of the opened curtain.

It wasn't until another street was turned that Fang Yuan, the speaker of the Fang family who came all the way from Yizhou, put down the curtain and sighed: "Mozhou will look different in a few years, this Mozhou will look different from before. Don't talk about it, just talk about the pedestrians on this road, there are not a little more than before."

"Brother Fang said that this Mozhou is indeed a little more lively than before," Yao Bin, the head of the Yao family who came from Yizhou, answered the conversation. Because he has been intensively raising his heart and body for these years, he is more and more afraid of the cold. , sitting in the carriage wrapped in a thick cloak, holding a Mrs. Tang who had just changed the hot water in her hand, and said with a smile: "I don't know how capable King Shun is, Zhifan only arrived in Mozhou In just over a month, the common people who were only willing to stay at home in previous years are willing to go out when winter comes, don’t be like what we have heard, he is really a virtuous king.”

"Xian Wang?" Fang Yuan sneered, but his face was as gentle as before, as if the impolite chuckle just now was like an auditory hallucination of others, he said softly: "Brother Yao, where did you hear that in your sleep? , but it’s not the same as the news I inquired about. I got the news from Chang’an. Our feudal lord is a hero and a man of love, but I just heard from a certain nobleman in the palace. After listening to the gossip, I really thought that my sister would be married and married outside the Great Wall. Even Wei Changshi in the palace didn't stop him, and interrupted the prince who came to pay homage from that subordinate country in front of the Holy Majesty. One leg, but he forgot that his own sister is only eight years old now, and she just wants to get married. There are so many princesses of the right age in the palace, no matter how hard it is, this eight-year-old princess will never get her turn."

There was a smile on Fang Yuan's face, but the words he said were full of irony, Yao Bin couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard it, his puffy stomach trembled accordingly, he patted his face and said after a while: "Brother Fang's words are still as sharp as ever. No wonder King Shun has concubine Hui Hui on top, and he will be dispatched to this remote place by the Holy One. It is right for King Shun to suffer and improve his memory, lest a dignified prince, but Being commanded by a woman behind her back as a gunman."

Fang Yuan's mouth was ugly, but he still covered it up, but Yao Bin didn't even bother to cover it up, he spoke out what was in his heart brightly, Fang Yuan dealt with it kindly on his face, but he was quite contemptuous in his heart, After all, he got some powerful nouveau riche by selling his daughter. He is so unintelligent in his words and deeds. This Prince Shun is still a prince no matter how bad he is. How can it be that he has few people in his family who are officials, and there are very few scholars. Can a rich family easily talk about it?

Seeing that Yao Bin was talking more and more, Fang Yuan couldn't listen any more, and he was afraid that the wall might have ears, so he changed the subject and said: "Brother Yao is always well-informed, so you know why King Shun invited us to this banquet?"

If it's just asking people to donate food and money, that's fine. Fang's family has a big business, and there is no shortage of a few stones of food or a few taels of silver. I'm afraid that King Shun will make a mistake in raising them in Chang'an, and he will treat them like that poor subsidiary country. Like a prince, he came up indiscriminately to ransack the house.

He has the confidence to resist, but he is only against the royal family. If he is not careful, he will end up ransacking his family and exterminating his family. Besides, he is just a side branch of the Fang family. Well, even if the Fang family can handle the matter properly, I'm afraid that he, the partial patriarch, will do his best, and maybe he will ask Fang Patriarch Zhi Dayi to kill his relatives in order to comfort the Holy One.

The bigger the family business, the less courageous, although his branch is only a partial branch, but there are hundreds of people up and down, so he has to be careful.

Yao Bin, who Fang Yuan was worried about, naturally couldn't think of it, but he smiled proudly after being praised by Fang Yuan, and then said mysteriously: "Brother Fang really has foresight, but it's not that Brother Yu has found out a lot of news, Brother Fang has I don't know, King Shun invited us to the banquet this time because he wanted to do business with us."

"Business?" Fang Yuan obviously didn't expect this to be the reason, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said in disbelief: "Brother Yao was unconscious from drinking too much yesterday, right? Shun Wanggui is the feudal king , there are many people who are willing to do business for him, so why bother to discuss with us personally about business, and even though business is cheap, not everyone can do it. King Shun has lived in Chang'an for a long time, and he hasn't listened to it for so many years. It is said that there is a shop under his name that is doing well, how could it be possible that once he arrives in Mozhou, he will know everything."

Seeing that Fang Yuan didn't believe it, Yao Bin was not in a hurry, the expression on his face became more and more mysterious, the old god held Qiao for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Don't say Brother Fang doesn't believe it, I almost laughed when I heard the news Make a sound, after all, this King Shun doesn't even know how to distinguish the lies told by an ordinary woman, so how can he be a businessman? It's still the foolish brother who let people probe and probe. It is indeed King Shun who made one new thing after another in Mozhou When the things come out, the servant will tell the truth about the things that have been made, and the foolish brother will believe it a little bit."

Although Yao Bin looked swearing, Fang Yuan still laughed, he didn't say whether he believed it or not, he just asked him: "Then tell me, this King Shun made something rare, it's worth throwing away The matter in hand came all the way to discuss."

Yao Bin waited for Fang Yuan's words for a long while, and he no longer tantalized people, he immediately said: "I heard that there are quite a few things made, one of them is a stove, or something like fire, In short, it is to connect a stove and a bed. As long as the stove is lit, the bed will be hot, and there is no need to place a charcoal basin for heating on weekdays. Sit down, it's comfortable."

Yao Bin seemed to have seen it with his own eyes, and he spoke clearly and logically, his eyes almost sparkled.

No wonder he is so yearning, but the fact is that the winter in Youzhou is too sad, he wears more clothes every year than every year, probably because he is physically weak, and he is also afraid of the cold every year, and he can’t wait to stay in the house every day. Seventeen or eight charcoal basins were set up, and even if the bed was still warm at night, the concubine had to cover it for an hour or two before going to bed, and only when the bed was warm did he take off his clothes and go to bed.

Thinking of the cold every winter, Yao Bin hoped from the bottom of his heart that what the servant who inquired about the news was telling the truth, and holding Mrs. Tang in his arms, he fantasized for a while that he could also sit on this kind of bed, and then he recovered and continued: " In addition to this bed, the servant heard that King Shun also made a kind of thing, which can be made into a complete coal block by mixing crushed coal with mud. It can be boiled in less than a cup of tea. If it is true as the servant said, this is a good business, but it can be used to make a fire if it is mixed with crushed coal. How much profit should a piece of coal make? , among other things, I don’t know how many horses, cattle and sheep can be exchanged just by letting the caravans sell to the barbarians.”

The more Yao Bin talked, the more he talked, he didn't care whether Fang Yuan was listening or not, he didn't believe it in his heart, he just continued to say: "Besides these, when the servant found out that King Shun also made fragrant soap and drinkable Intoxicating shochu, and the flowery dew that is only fashionable in Guanzhong, just spraying a small amount on the body can make it fragrant for a whole day. If the servant is not lying to me, King Shun really made these things. Brother, these are really big deals that make money every day, not only fragrant soap, but also shochu and toilet water. In Chang'an, these are all good things that are hard to find, and you can't buy them with money, let alone Let’s talk about other places, as long as we can deliver the goods there, we will surely make those rich and wealthy people willing to pay out, it depends on whether we are willing to sell.”

Listening to Yao Bin's eloquent talk, Fang Yuan was also quite moved, after all, it is indeed as Yao Bin said, whether it is intoxicating shochu, or scented soap and a little spray, it can make people feel better. The floral dew that is fragrant all day is indeed a big business that makes people wake up from dreams and smiles.

Furthermore, it is indeed attractive to make money every day, but what Fang Yuan values ​​more is the other benefits that these things can bring to him, such as gaining access to a powerful person, or gaining more weight in the entire Fang family, Although it can't be like the head of the main branch in the clan, it can at least make the head of the clan look high.

Maybe the patriarch was happy to allow his nephew to go to Chang'an to study for a while, and after a few years, he would recommend him to be an official in the court. , then his branch can be regarded as turning over, and he is the great hero of the whole branch, Guangzong Yaozu, even if he goes underground to meet the ancestors of the branch in the future, he can still stand up and listen to his ancestors' praise.
