Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

Now that Feng'an was mentioned, Wang Xiujin wanted to ask Li Sushan to bring some things to his eldest brother, but he gave up after thinking about it. Li Sushan didn't start from the capital, and it was really inconvenient to take things. If you want to send things, you can go from the post station. Let's go, Wang Xiujin had a whim, whether to open a courier business, and then shook his head, if he did, he was afraid that he would lose everything.

In this era, there is no online shopping, TV shopping, and it is even difficult to do shopping in different places. Without shopping support, even if the business is structured, there is no business, and there is no way to make money. If you rely on a peddler from the same town, you will generally not charge money. In contrast, if he spreads out express delivery, you will have to charge some fees. Compared with the two, people are naturally more willing to rely on acquaintances, which do not cost money and are reliable.

Abandoning the idea of ​​express delivery, Wang Xiujin sighed leisurely, thinking that the two had just married and were about to separate. Wang Xiujin didn't know whether he was glad that Li Sushan was going to the border at the end of the year, or he was angry that the fourth prince would not be able to leave Li Sushan anywhere. ?Having said that, the fourth prince is also quite unlucky, he was accused of marriage twice, the first time he married into the door, the result was like that, the second one didn't know what happened before he got in, the emperor pointed out the marriage, but it didn't happen In short, it would be strange if there was nothing going on here, but so far there are no rumors in the capital, so Wang Xiujin finds it strange.

A few days later, when Li Sushan left, Wang Xiujin did not see him off. He was so tormented the night before that he couldn't get up at all, and he didn't even have the strength to turn over. If he wanted to find a comfortable position, he had to ponder for a long time whether to turn over.He sighed silently, after Li Sushan came back, he had to have a good talk with him, young people should not act recklessly, if he did this every night, he would lose ten years of life.

Wang Xiujin lay down until noon before getting up. Thinking that there was no one in the yard, he suddenly felt a little too quiet.Rubbing his waist, after eating something, Wang Xiujin didn't have time to think about things, he was busy with other things, for example, in the golden autumn season, when the school held a sports meeting, Wang Xiujin, as the owner of the school, naturally had to Show up, you don't have to be there all day, at least show your face during the opening.In addition to this matter, he had to go to the Zhuangzi to have a look. There were more calves and lambs in the Zhuangzi, and the Zhuangzi couldn't accommodate them.

Thinking that I haven't eaten much beef and mutton recently, I suddenly feel a little greedy. It's just that Li Sushan walks on the front foot, and he eats it on the back foot. It doesn't seem so good!It seemed that he had no choice but to leave Li Sushan.

"Master Jin, there is an order from the palace to invite the young master to enter the palace." The servant outside the door bowed. Yes... After Wang Xiujin came out, the servant carefully said about the face and tone of his entourage, but Wang Xiujin didn't care much, he straightened his clothes and walked away.

The air pressure in the palace was a bit low, and Wang Xiujin had already been reminded by several of his entourage along the way, Wang Xiujin raised his eyebrows, and he didn't know what went wrong, which made the emperor furious.After entering the imperial study, Wang Xiujin saluted the emperor, and after the emperor called out, Wang Xiujin was relieved, if the emperor didn't call out all the time, he should be worried.

"Look at this." The emperor handed a letter to Wang Xiujin.

Wang Xiujin blinked his eyes. Why did he think he couldn't read this letter?But the emperor opened his mouth, how dare he say no.Opening the letter, Wang Xiujin scanned the ten lines at a glance. He was extremely surprised and shocked, and then frowned, "The emperor wants to build a shipyard." The content of the letter is actually very simple. Yan Daliang's Yangyang country doesn't even have warships, and it still wants to suppress the Kou country by calling it a country, so it's not afraid that it will be shot back by the opponent's small cannon before reaching the Kou country's waters.Unfortunately, these words were overheard by the personal attendants in the criminal investigation factory, who wrote a letter and sent it to the emperor's case.

"Yes, I want to build dozens of warships." Doesn't it mean that Kou Kingdom can't be defeated, a tiny place actually wants to resist Shang Kingdom.Regardless of whether this matter is deliberately provoked by someone, it is not to use the hands of Daliang to suppress Kou Guo, Daliang’s ship must be built, and now the treasury is full. How difficult is it to build a shipyard? What’s wrong with building a few ships? The ministers who came against him, don't worry about them.

"It's not difficult to build a shipyard. As long as you find an expert shipbuilder, it's not difficult to build a warship." But it has nothing to do with him.Wang Xiujin was quite hesitant, he didn't dare to ask the emperor.

"I plan to hand over the shipyard to you." The emperor said bluntly.

But Wang Xiujin couldn't react for a while, he was in charge of the shipyard, the emperor wasn't kidding, right? "I don't know much about the shipyard, and I'm not the best candidate. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

The emperor stared at Wang Xiujin, Wang Xiujin couldn't afford to bow and salute, he would never waver, he really didn't have too much energy, he was in charge of the shipyard.The matter of the shipyard can be big or small, he is definitely not a suitable candidate, even if he can't resist and accept this burden, the ministers in the court will not allow it.

"That's the matter." The emperor ignored Wang Xiujin's indirect refusal. Wang Xiujin can manage the oil workshop and textile workshop well, so naturally the shipyard can also manage well.

"I think that the matter of the shipyard should be combined with the workshop of the military camp, and it is most appropriate for Xiao to take charge of it." Wang Xiujin sighed silently, still unwilling to give up and wanted to get rid of the burden. "It is really inappropriate for me to intervene in this matter." " Wang Xiujin can imagine, if this matter is settled, how the group of ministers above the court who like to participate in the book will describe him.

The emperor didn't say a word, if he wanted to build a shipyard, Wang Xiujin was the first choice. Now that Wang Xiujin has pushed him twice, the emperor is naturally uncomfortable, but he also knows that Wang Xiujin's words are right. Apart from the reasons he said, his identity is also the same. The big reason, the emperor once again regretted, how could he have accepted the former emperor's finger marriage.If Wang Xiujin is recruited as a son-in-law, who would dare to object to sending him to manage the shipyard at this moment.

The emperor waved his hand, which seemed to set aside the matter of the shipyard, and then remembered the matter mentioned by the fourth prince when he returned from the general's mansion two days ago. "I heard you made some wine."

"Yes." Wang Xiujin gritted his teeth in his heart. At that time, after the fourth prince learned about his brewing, he promised repeatedly that he would not tell others. How come the word reached the emperor's ears as soon as he turned around. "I use grapes as the main ingredient, and they can be eaten at the end of the winter month, but the taste is not guaranteed. This is the first time I have made wine." In order to prevent the emperor from asking for a taste, Wang Xiujin first typed out the word "first time". The head of the card, so the emperor should not worry about it.

"I believe that Qing's family is capable, and it will be sent to the palace on the day of Kaifeng."

Wang Xiujin really wanted to kneel at this time, the emperor, can you not cheat.

After leaving the palace, Wang Xiujin went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to look for his father. He had to say hello to his father before returning to Li's house. When he got home, he should go to school to attend the opening ceremony. Wang Xiujin had already forgotten about it.Back at the general's mansion, Wang Xiujin went directly to his grandfather, why did he build the ship?The emperor was angry for a while?Otherwise, in fact, the emperor has long been willing to release the sea ban, and the secret letter is just a ladder for the emperor.Warships are for war, so he should not intervene. Although the important ministers on both civil and military sides have become relatives by marriage, they should not be involved in the disputes in the court because of this.

Old General Li nodded, he agreed with Wang Xiujin's refusal to get involved in the shipyard. The emperor built the shipyard for warships, so if Wu was involved, Wang Xiujin really wanted to take over, and Mr. Wang's reputation would be bad. "What did your father say about this?"

"Father didn't say anything." After Wang Xiujin finished speaking, he felt embarrassed. After these words, there were two more sentences, do things as you like, and if something goes wrong, he will take care of it.After getting married, Wang Xiujin would always feel that his father looked at him full of guilt, and he finished talking with his father, but his father still felt that he had been wronged.Wang Xiujin had no choice but to persuade his father.

"Grandfather, I want to go to Feng'an." Wang Xiujin felt that the capital might not stop due to the incident at the shipyard recently. He didn't want to be used as a pretext for attack, so he had better hide in other places early. "Before autumn, I discussed with the shopkeeper that I want to open a new shop in Feng'an, but I have been delaying it. Now that I have free time, I plan to go around and see if the shop can be opened." Wang Xiujin can imagine it, and Old General Li can think of it even more. Nodded yes.

Before going to Feng'an, Wang Xiujin went to Zhuangzi first to have a look. Mutton was easy to sell, but beef was a bit difficult. The people valued cattle very much in their hearts, so they were not willing to eat beef.The cattle in Zhuangzi are not in the minority. Wang Xiujin had already made a decision before coming here. There are many ways to eat beef. In addition to frying, stewing and grilling, it can also be dried and made into beef jerky. The cowhide is sent to the city and handed over to the shop. If someone tailors them, they can replace them with new pairs of shoes and put them on their feet.

The steward walked around with Wang Xiujin, keeping Wang Xiujin's instructions in mind, and after sending Wang Xiujin away, he immediately started to do something.

Wang Xiujin led a group of people all the way to the east, and rode his horses fast. It took half a month to reach Feng'an.Wang Xiujin came in a low-key way, and he kissed the shopkeeper Wang who came with him in the carriage. When the two of them got tired, they would fall back. The road is well built now, and Wang Xiujin would sleep for a while when he was on the road every day.Shopkeeper Wang saw that Wang Xiujin was getting thinner day by day, and he was very anxious, but he couldn't persuade him. Shopkeeper Wang only hoped that the prefect of Feng'an would not embarrass him.

After entering Feng'an Mansion, Wang Xiujin asked people to find a place to stay, while he and shopkeeper Wang went to the nearest teahouse to drink tea.As soon as Wang Xiujin took his seat, he was sent a red greeting card, either to invite him, or to invite him to his home, to invite Wang Xiujin to attend any happy event.
