I was a prince in ancient times

Xie Anlan hugged Lu Chengjia and slept for several hours. When she woke up, there was a thick light by the window, and it was already the second day.

He tried his best to open his eyes, dispelled the sleepiness in his eye sockets, and carefully pulled out the arm that was pillowed by the person in his arms.

Lu Chengjie seemed to be looking into something, he rubbed his head lightly on his shoulder, the hand on his waist also grabbed his clothes, and whispered a few words.

Xie Anlan leaned closer to listen, but he couldn't understand what he said.

"I still have something to do. I'll come back to sleep with you when I'm done." Although Xie Anlan couldn't hear what he was saying clearly, he could feel Lu Chengjie's dependence on him, so he coaxed him in a low voice.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Lu Chengjie frowned, but the next moment the hand that was holding onto his clothes loosened for no reason, turned over by himself, and escaped from his arms.

Xie Anlan rubbed his head with a smile, leaned into his ear, and said word by word, "My ride is small, cute, and cute."

The person holding the quilt didn't move, and Xie Anlan didn't ask whether he was asleep or not. She got up and got out of bed, got dressed, and went out to wash lightly.

At this time, all the servants of Prince Chen's Mansion had just got up, and when they saw Xie Anlan, they all saluted.

Xie Anlan nodded, and after washing outside the door, the sleepiness on her face was washed away, and she became the energetic prince again.

Went to the study, Lu Chuyi and Kan Ming stayed up all night in the study.

Xie Anlan and Lu Chengjie acted as hands-off shopkeepers, and he had to do the rest of the finishing work.

Fortunately, the most difficult prince and concubine has already been prepared, and they only need to fill in the money according to the list written by the prince and concubine.

There were really too many businessmen who donated money to build roads. The two of them just put the banknotes in an envelope and filled out the addresses one by one, and they worked all night.

"How much is left?" Xie Anlan pushed open the door of the study, the candles inside were still brightly lit.

Lu Chuyi looked at the paper in the bamboo basket, and said bitterly, "My lord, there is still half of the basket."

Xie Anlan nodded, and asked again, "Are the bank notes enough?"

"Enough." Lu Chu took a look at the big money box that was missing a third, and couldn't help admiring his young master's long-term perspective.

There were too many banknotes in the palace before, the prince always said to spend a little, and the young master originally planned to spend them, but since he knew that the prince was going to open a bank, he gave up this idea and collected all the banknotes.

Now it comes in handy, paying dividends with these banknotes from other banks will not disturb the market, and will not use the palace's gold and silver reserves.

Xie Anlan nodded, yawned a little, put down her fan and joined him in putting money.

Xie Anlan's slender fingers folded the draft paper and the corresponding bank notes, neatly put them into the envelope, and suddenly raised her head to ask Lu Chuyi, "Have you done what I told you to do?"

Lu Chu nodded, "It's done. The first batch has a total of [-] recruits. They are all veterans who have no one left at home."

When Lu Chuyi thought of the sad scenes he saw and heard when he went to find these people, he couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

They used to be good guys, but after being injured in the battlefield, after returning to their hometown with the little money from the court, they lived like pigs and dogs.

Because of the injuries on the body, I can't do heavy work, and I can't support myself when I do light work. Some family members and neighbors are willing to help, but those who are not willing to live are really no different from pigs and dogs.

"Fortunately, the prince is willing to give them another chance, otherwise..." When Lu Chuyi mentioned this matter, he had to admire Xie Anlan again.

The prince really doesn't dislike these people's lack of arms and legs, and is willing to spend money to see a doctor for them, which is really courageous.

If someone else had the money, it would be better to hire some able-bodied people with hands and feet.

Xie Anlan had no expression on her face, "I am willing to spend money on them because I see that these people still have value. Those who have been soldiers are full of blood, and the discipline is stricter than ordinary people. Treat them The money just saves the money I spent on training, the same."

Lu Chuyi pursed his lips, knowing that the prince was kind-hearted and unwilling to show it, otherwise he wouldn't let the veterans with sound hands and feet not be used, and insisted on using these missing arms and legs.

Xie Anlan folded another envelope, dusted it with her fingertips, her eyes sank, and her thin lips parted lightly, "Since their injuries are almost healed, let them do the task of sending money this time." Well, ten people form a team, divide into a hundred teams, and within one month, I want them to send all the money to every merchant who donates."

"If they do well this time, the second batch can also be prepared."

Before Lu Chu clicked down, Xie Anlan smiled at him again, "By the way, don't tell your young master about this."

"Why?" Lu Chuyi was puzzled. In his opinion, the prince did all this for his young master. If he didn't tell the young master, it would be for nothing.

Xie Anlanfeng's eyes were filled with endless tenderness, she curled her lips and said with a smile, "Because I'm afraid that after your young master finds out, he will sacrifice himself again, and I'm afraid that he won't be able to afford it."

Lu Chuyi choked in his chest. Although he was used to the prince's unrestrained behavior from time to time, he still felt suffocated when the prince teased his young master from time to time.

Even Kan Ming, who had been writing the address quietly, paused when he heard Xie Anlan's words, and drew a long ink mark.

With a cough, he threw away the half-written envelope in his hand, took another one, and said inappropriate words to the prince Xie Anlan for the first time, "My lord, the love between you and the princess, as subordinates, we only look at it." In the eyes of the eyes, please also take care of us subordinates who have not yet married."

Xie Anlan touched his chin, and looked at Kan Ming curiously, "If I remember correctly, you are two years older than me, why are you still not married?"

Xie Anlan is 23, and Kan Ming is 25. In this era when the average life expectancy is [-], they can be regarded as people with one foot in the coffin. They are still unmarried, which is quite rare.

Kan Ming put the pen down helplessly, raised his eyelids, and complained, "Not everyone has a good brother like Wang Ye, who is willing to arrange marriage for his younger brother."

"Don't get married because no one is going to arrange the marriage?" Xie Anlan felt that this reason was too far-fetched.

Kan Ming pursed his lips helplessly. He is the concubine of the Kan family. In the early years, his father spoiled his wife and destroyed his concubines, which offended his aunt. Later, when his father passed away, he and his mother were kicked out of the house. The mother who had spoiled her all her life passed away not long after being proud.

Fortunately, he had a good teacher in his early years, and had a group of good classmates. His classmates saw that he was good at arithmetic, and recommended many businessmen to him. They tried to do business and managed to survive.

Although he is a scholar, he practiced the way of doing business, invisibly inferior to others, it is difficult to talk about marriage if he is not high enough, and there is no one in the family, so he has lived in a muddle until now.

Seeing that Kan Ming stopped talking, Xie Anlan patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "If you have someone you like, just start, and I will propose marriage for you later with the princess."

Kan Ming was coughing because of Xie Anlan's photograph. He wanted to find someone he liked, but he was not a manly man, and he couldn't see how many married women could have unmarried girls on the street.

Even if there is, they will run away when they see him as a foreigner, and they can't even say a word, let alone know each other.

Kan Ming didn't want to discuss with Xie Anlan, so he had no choice but to continue writing.

The three of them have been busy from early morning to after noon before finishing all the finishing touches, even the breakfast and lunch are used in a hurry.

Xie Anlan went back to the room, fulfilling his promise to go back to sleep with Lu Chengjie after work.

Lu Chuyi covered his face with ice cubes, and asked the servants to follow him with baskets of envelopes filled with banknotes.

He would send these envelopes to the yard where the veterans were placed, and then let literate people pick out similar addresses and arrange for someone to deliver them.

Anyway, don't sleep today.

The veterans were arranged in a wide yard outside the imperial capital, surrounded by farmland, and they didn't have much contact with the villagers. Even if they were occasionally curious, seeing them, a large group of people with missing arms and legs, would be killed. Scared away.

Except for the doctor who brought them food and the doctor who treated them, there was no one else, and they lived quite peacefully, but there was something wrong in their hearts, and they always felt that they were eating and drinking for nothing.

The arrival of Lu Chuyi made all the veterans very happy.

"Housekeeper Lu, did the lord have an order?" These veterans have been in this yard for several months. When they came over on the first day of junior high school, they all dropped their belongings one after another, and leaned over to ask.

In the past, every time Lu Chuyi came, he would shake his head in the face of their expectant eyes, but this time Lu Chuyi did not disappoint them any more, and nodded affirmatively.

Overjoyed, a group of veterans who had no hope in their hearts exclaimed, hurriedly gathered around, and asked in surprise, "Really? The prince is really willing to use us?"

Surrounded by a group of veterans, Lu Chuyi couldn't stand it anymore, so he nodded again, "That's right, the prince has an order this time."

A group of veterans cheered again. The cheers of 1000 people were not small, and they almost alarmed the surrounding farmers.

Fortunately, seeing that the situation was not right, the guards behind Lu Chuyi rushed out to greet the surrounding farmers and told them to be safe, so that no panic was caused.

"Steward Lu, what are the orders?" After the cheers, one or two more sensible people couldn't help but ask.

"Go darts." Lu Chuyi cleared his throat and said two words slowly after quieting everyone.

The veterans nodded. They had already prepared for this matter, but they didn't know what they were going to deliver this time.

Lu Chuyi clapped his hands, asked the guards outside to remove the baskets from the carriage, and said, "Your task this time is to deliver these envelopes to the address on the letter paper in a safe and sound way, and hand them over to The man on the envelope."

Out of caution, Lu Chuyi did not tell them what was inside the envelope. These veterans were busy with their livelihoods and may have heard of businessmen donating money to build roads, but they may not be clear about the twists and turns inside.

Whether this letter can be delivered to the merchants in the end is a test given by the prince, and it is also a test given by Lu Chuyi.

The veterans were stunned when they saw the baskets of letters, and now they all have to go to battle.

"My lord said, a group of ten people. Here I have divided you into a hundred groups. Draw lots to form a team. There are dry food bags on the carriage outside. Once you form a team, you can take the envelope and set off." Due to this matter It has been delayed for a while, and Lu Chuyi was also afraid of the troubles of the businessmen outside, so he decided to make a quick decision, and the team was drawn to prevent these veterans from forming cliques.

Seeing that Lu Chuyi was in such a hurry, everyone restrained their expressions, each drew a bamboo stick, and found the corresponding number on the bamboo stick to form a team.

The quality of the army was well demonstrated at this moment. In less than half an hour, 1000 people formed a team, and each took their own group of envelopes to receive dry food and a weapon from Lu Chuyi.

Every time Lu Chuyi gave a weapon, he had to remind him, "Trust is in people."

"Yes." The veterans responded sonorously, took their weapons, asked for the address on the letter, and set off.

It was already mid-August, and the Prince Chen's Mansion hadn't sent anyone yet, and all the merchants were getting angry.

Some of them couldn't hold back their anger, and even made several noises at home because of this matter.

No one in this world is easy to make money, even a merchant's family that does not lack food and drink, it is not easy to make some money.

No, a silk merchant family named Zhou in the south of the Yangtze River is staging a family farce.

His wife, Wang Shi, was tearfully suing him, "You have money to donate to the road. This year's silkworms have all died of illness and can't produce silk. They owe money to those merchants outside. What do you use as collateral!"

Zhou Bing has been on fire for the past two days, and there are many bubbles on the corners of his mouth. Now he is very irritable when he hears his wife's complaint, and he yells, "There is still a house here."

"House, you know how to talk about the house. We bought half of our savings and mortgaged it. Where will you let our big family live in the future? Without the house, what will the two children do?" Wang's tears couldn't stop falling. Their house has only been built for less than two years. Behind the house is the best school in the south of the Yangtze River. The children of the family go to school in it, and their knowledge is better than those outside.

Even if you can't be an official, you will be better than their parents who are businessmen in the future.

Because of this matter, Zhou Bing was not less worried. If it hadn’t happened this year, the money for road construction would have been donated. However, this year is not good, and most of the silkworms he raised died. Last year, he went to other merchants to sign a contract. Once the contract is signed, you will lose money if you fail to deliver the goods by the due date.

He wanted to use the money to buy some silk from another house to fix the loophole, but he donated most of the family's money last year, and there was not much left.

"If only... if you hadn't been bewitched by that, it would be fine." Mrs. Wang wiped her tears with a handkerchief, choking with sobs, "You said that others have donated, so it's not good if you don't donate. It will give dividends, dividends, I haven’t seen a single one until now, those who donated money with you at the beginning see you in trouble, why don’t you come to help you.”

"What's the use of talking about it now." Zhou Bing was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him. The businessmen he was friends with donated money to build roads last year, and there was not much money left at home. It wasn't that they didn't want to help, but that they also had the heart powerless.

"Then you are willing to push this house out." Wang's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she looked straight at Zhou Bing.

Seeing Zhou Bing made my heart feel cold.

Just at this time, a servant came to report, "Master, there are a group of people outside who say that they are sent by the Prince Chen's mansion to deliver a letter, and they want to see the master."

Hearing the words Chenwangfu, Zhou Bing stood up from his chair and ran out of the house like a gallop.

The first thing I saw was a few soldiers with missing arms and legs. I frowned, looked around for a moment, and asked the servants behind me, "Where are the people from the Prince Chen's Mansion?"

The servant stepped forward, pointed at the incomplete people in front of him with a slightly embarrassed expression, and said, "Master, they are the people sent by the Chen Palace to deliver the letter."

Zhou Bing looked at the few people in front of him, and was very surprised. He remembered that the person sent by Chenwang Mansion to deliver the letter last year was still Zhou Zheng, so why did he fall into such a field this year?

I couldn't help feeling even more anxious, guessing in my heart that most of the money he donated was in vain, and my face became bitter.

"Are you Zhou Bing, a silk merchant?" An old soldier looked at Zhou Bing and asked.

"Exactly." Zhou Bing nodded absently.

However, the veterans were not at ease, and even knocked on the doors of the neighbors around them. They did not take out the envelope belonging to Zhou Bing from their arms until three or five of them made sure that he was Zhou Bing.

At first, they didn't pay much attention to the delivery of the letter, thinking that it was just an ordinary letter, and it was fine to send it.

After the first letter was delivered and the businessman opened the envelope in front of them and found that there was a bank note inside, everyone became restless.

Only then did they deeply understand the significance of the letter that Lu Chuyi told them before leaving.

The hands of the veterans holding the envelopes along the way were shaking. A whole load of letters means a whole load of money!

With so much money, let alone holding it, they have never even seen it, but now they are holding it in their arms in such a daze, how much trust should the prince have in them!

A veteran with a missing arm was holding a bundle and was crying. These old bones that no one wants will be valued one day.

In order not to let tears wet the bag and the letter inside, the man could only cry with the bag on his head, which looked a little funny.

But no one will dislike it, this is crying under the money, and it is worth dying to cry under so much money in this life.

Then the burden of the envelope was put on top of their heads by all of them and wept back.

After that, they didn't dare to deal with the package containing the letter casually. They hugged it to sleep on the road at night, for fear of losing it and being robbed by someone. Every letter delivered must be guaranteed by someone before they are willing to take out the envelope and hand it over to the person concerned. hands.

Zhou Bing took the letter without any hope, so he opened the envelope by the door, and a bank note slipped down with a shake of his hand.

Zhou Bing looked at the bank note on the ground, stunned for a moment, quickly picked it up, glanced at the contents of the letter, and was so excited that his hands were shaking instantly.

My lord, I really gave them this year's dividends!

He donated a total of 3000 taels, and this year's dividends are 1000 taels!

If this dividend is maintained every year in the future, the worst is 1000 taels per year, and the capital can be paid back in three years!

Even if I don't do the silk business anymore, I can get so much dividends every year that I can even pass them on to future generations.

Thinking of this, Zhou Bing felt hot in his heart.

At this time, his wife, Mrs. Wang, followed out crying, and when she saw the bank note in his hand, she shed tears immediately.

Zhou Bing proudly raised the money in front of his wife, "Did you see that the Prince Chen's Mansion did not break its promise and really sent the dividends. Now there is no need to mortgage the house, and there will be an extra income every year in the future."

Mrs. Wang pursed her lips, but before she could open her mouth, several businessmen who used to play well with Zhou Bing appeared outside the gate, and they came forward with their fists clasped, "Brother Zhou."

"A few of you also came to announce the good news after receiving the dividends." Zhou Bing is now in high spirits on happy occasions, and he doesn't care about the bubbles on his lips when he speaks.

"That's right." Several businessmen nodded with smiles on their faces, and then said with a smile, "We heard that Brother Zhou's family's business is in trouble, and now that the dividends have been paid, we have a lot of money, so we are here to help Brother Zhou."

Zhou Bing felt comforted when he heard what the businessmen said, and silently raised his eyebrows at his wife.

Now Mrs. Wang had nothing to say, and stopped crying. She walked to the side and ordered her servants to buy some good wine and food to entertain the guests.

He took copper coins and came out to reward and send letters to these people.

Veterans who are very qualified don't want them. When they came out, Lu Chuyi gave them enough to pester them back and forth. They don't need money, and they don't want to lose the honor of the Chen Palace.

This one was delivered, and they rushed to the next one to deliver it. After receiving the letterhead signed by Zhou Bing, they left.

Such messengers appeared one after another across the country, and the news spread like snowflakes. The merchants who were anxious to get angry were relieved in an instant, and they were at home waiting for the money to be delivered to their door.

They were not in a hurry. When Jiang Yun heard the news, his face was struck by lightning, and several wide openings were split in an instant.

"How is it possible!" Jiang Yun didn't want to believe this fact.

"It's true, then Jiang Shen and the others have received the bank notes." Seeing that Jiang Yun didn't want to believe it, Ye Ji punched him hard in the heart again.

Jiang Yun suddenly felt a suffocation in his chest, as if he couldn't breathe.

Once, there was such an opportunity in front of him, but he didn't believe that such a good thing that the pie fell in the sky, now that the pie fell in the sky, he regretted it too late.

"Brother Jiang, since this matter is true, let's go to the county government to collect donations." Ye Ji didn't blame Jiang Yun much when he heard about this matter, since he lost a year, it's still too late.

Hearing Ye Ji's words, Jiang Yun's eyes brightened, he hurriedly rolled up all the money in the family, and rushed to the county government to collect donations.

As a result, two big knives were placed in front of them, Jiang Yun was puzzled, "Should we stop if we are here to collect donations for road construction?"

The catcher of the county government gave them a cold look, "It is okay to raise donations, but the Prince Chen's Mansion has said that they will no longer participate in the dividends. Do you still want to raise donations?"

"What!" Ye Ji exploded when he heard the news, "Why don't you want it? Aren't there still many roads in the whole country that haven't been repaired?"

The policeman said coldly again, "Don't ask me about it, ask the prince, we are only responsible for doing things impartially."

Ye Ji's body was on the verge of falling, and his mood dropped again and again. Originally, he also had the opportunity to obtain shares, and originally he would not miss it.

"Jiang Yun, I've caught you!" At this moment, the voice of the proud businessman who was drinking with them came from the side.

He rushed up angrily, grabbed Jiang Yun's clothes and roared, "You have caused us so much suffering, now the Chenwang Mansion does not give shares, do you know that!"

Jiang Yun hadn't recovered from the double blow at this moment, his head was dizzy, and he couldn't breathe. When he was picked up by this man again, he shrank into a ball.

After being reminded by this person, Ye Ji also remembered it. Of course, if Jiang Yun hadn't stopped him, he would now be like everyone else, happily holding the dividend and enjoying the future. Now all this has become a phantom bubble, how? Call him angry.

"Brother Jiang, I don't blame you when you ruined my business. I only blame myself for not being firm in my confidence. But from then on, our Jiang and Ye family will part ways, and we will not have any contact with each other anymore." Ye Ji's face was slightly amused Distorted, he left without looking back after speaking.

"Brother Ye...wait a minute." Jiang Yun was dragged by someone, and when he heard Ye Ji's words, he panicked. Their aquatic products were all taken from Ye Ji. Once the two companies stopped cooperating, what would happen? It didn't mean that he completely cut off his money, he wanted to keep him, but he couldn't break free no matter what he was dragged by, so he could only watch Ye Ji go further and further away.

Xie Anlan didn't know what kind of bloody storm was happening outside because of his words. He was lying comfortably on the chair at the moment, enjoying the plump longan that his princess peeled and fed with his own hands.

"It's gone." Halfway through eating, Lu Chengjiao cleaned his hands and stopped feeding him.

Xie Anlan looked up at the table, there was still half a basket left.

"I can't eat any more, I will get angry if I eat too much." Lu Chengjia wiped his hands with a handkerchief, smiled and asked his servants to remove the things.

"It's on fire, as long as you can't put it out." Xie Anlan raised his eyes slightly and teased him.

Lu Chengjiao lowered his eyes and pretended he didn't hear it. Just as Lu Chuyi came to report, merchants from Nanyue Kingdom came to trade with gold and silver.

Xie Anlan let out a sigh, "He can hold his breath, he really endured it for half a month."

The author has something to say: explain, they didn’t have a doi in yesterday’s chapter, they were just sitting on the arhat couch, brewing with a fan (serious.jpg)

Seeing the longan, a licking motion picture unexpectedly appeared in my head, I must be broken.

--ps, I'm talking nonsense and ignore me.
