The emperor is embarrassed

Ming Zhan didn't care much about the marriage between Duke Kang and Duke Yong'an. He would know that it was all because Duke Kang and Duke Yong'an asked for marriage leave at the same time to take care of their children's marriage.

At this time, Ming Zhan remembered that Kang Guogong and Yong'an Gongfu were married.

At the beginning, after Ruan Chensi entered the mansion as a side concubine, Feng Jingnan booked him as a lady in Duke Kang's mansion.Later, when the brothers of the Feng family were robbed, and the three princes in the court were vying for the throne, Kang Guogong's mansion was afraid of being pulled into the team, so they revealed the marriage between Kang Guogong's mansion and Zhennan Wang's mansion.Although Ming Zhan was secretly angry, but he was not very secure in the imperial capital at that time. In order to win over the power of Duke Kang's mansion, he agreed to the marriage smoothly.

The situation in the imperial capital was changing, and Ming Zhan became the crown prince. At that time, he was hooking up with Ruan Hongfei without stopping. He was not willing to marry a girl from Kang Guogong's mansion.

It's not that he has any prejudice against Kang Guogong's mansion, the key is that he has seen Kang Guogong, the whole Liu Bei is super born, and he will cry.Tears fell as if he didn't want money, and at the thought of having Liu Bei as his father-in-law, Ming Zhan lost interest in his daughter.

Ming Zhan was already the prince at that time, and if he wanted to regret the marriage, he could of course regret it.

The villain was still done by Feng Jing, who personally married the young lady of Kang Guogong's mansion to the son of Yong'an's mansion.

The two furniture belong to the public family, and they are well matched.

No matter how depressed Kang Guogong's mansion was, it had nothing to say.Although Zhennan Wang personally mentioned the matter of marriage in a letter, but Zhennan Wang only mentioned it.

One has no matchmaker, and the other has no marriage certificate.

Zhennan Wangfu is a powerful party, Ming Zhan also became the prince, Feng Jingqian personally proposed another marriage for his daughter, Kang Guogong had no other choice but to thank him.

Kang Guogong and Yong'an Gong wanted to ask for marriage leave, Ming Zhan remembered the marriage contract with Kang Guogong's mansion before, so he agreed with a smile.

Ming Zhan said to Ruan Hongfei, "Feifei, do you think I'm really robbing my wife? Several marriages have failed. I still want to have a wedding with you, and I'm a little worried."

Ruan Hongfei didn't take it seriously, and said, "To be an emperor, you don't know how many people you have to kill in your life. There are too many people in Ke, but I don't despise you, fat."

"When shall we have a ceremony?"

"Do those things, sneaky, it's good now."

Ming Zhan went to touch the other person's hand, started to move his hands and feet, and took advantage of it with a slippery mouth, "I'm afraid that you will be wronged."

Ruan Hongfei held Ming Zhan's hand, wiped oil on Ming Zhan's moist face, and said with a smile, "As long as you behave yourself on the bed and don't always think about the things above and below, you won't be able to wrong me."

Ming Zhan refused to accept, "I'm an upright man, why can't I be on top?"

Ruan Hongfei glanced at Mingzhan indifferently, and didn't speak, but his meaning was very clear: If you want to be on top, you have to have that ability.

Ming Zhan bit Ruan Hongfei angrily.

Ruan Hongfei didn't take any losses, so he pinched Ming Zhan's buttocks, Ming Zhan cried out in pain, Ruan Hongfei grabbed two fists before he finished, and asked Ming Zhan, "Have the salt merchants arrived yet?"

Ming Zhan turned over and sat down, lying on the couch side by side with his lover, "Well, I arrived yesterday."

"To build Tianjin Port, you want them to pay for it." This is also Ming Zhan's usual trick, and Ruan Hongfei guessed it right.

"Borrowing the chicken to lay the egg?"

Ruan Hongfei touched Ming Zhan's face with a smile, "Actually, if you don't have enough money, I can also lend it to you. Not only can I borrow money, but I can also borrow craftsmen. Also, don't you want to build a big ship? There are no blueprints. Right? I can help too."

Ming Zhan is happy and worried, he is a suspicious person by nature, and immediately suspects that his family Feifei is good at everything, but the one who divides the family business with him is clear, and he will not give him any advantage. occupy.

Ming Zhan asked cautiously, "You don't mean to want me to stay here for the rest of your life, do you?"

Ruan Hongfei spurned him, the fat man is so pretty, he is really confident.However, Ruan Hongfei only dared to complain in his heart, he never dared to say it face to face, otherwise Ming Zhan's dog temper would have to turn his face.

The corners of Ruan Hongfei's lips were raised, and his smile shone like a diamond in the sunlight. Ming Zhan immediately felt the tip of his nose itch, so he rubbed it hurriedly, for fear that he would bleed two strings of nosebleeds.He thought to himself, did Feifei of his family have practiced some evil skills such as instigmatism?Damn it, just because someone is prettier than others, you can always play tricks on him, for a long time, how can you bear it!

Ming Zhan made up his mind and listened to Ruan Hongfei, "We can sign a national agreement. I will subsidize these things free of charge, but within 50 years, you will be exempted from my customs tax, and you will be exempted from my customs duties in Du Ruoguo and Dawei." In terms of Fengchao's trade type, you have to relax for me."

"My God, my God." Ming Zhan opened his mouth wide and shouted loudly, "I said, why are you so generous all of a sudden, so you are trying to trick me!"

Ming Zhan stretched out five carrot-like chubby fingers, unbelievable, "50 years of customs tax! How dare you think about it! Now I have been in business with you for half a year, and I have collected 50 yuan in taxes alone. There will definitely be more in the future. How much, the customs tax for these 50 years is more than 5000 million. You get some broken blueprints, and now you give me a few million silver, which will be equivalent to 5000 million. You really said it! The usury is not as black as you!"

"You think I'm a fool!" Ming Zhan summed up the account hastily, clutching his chest, looking hurt, "I said, why do you want to give me money all of a sudden, oh, you really It's unusual, I was almost tricked by you! Big liar!"

Ruan Hongfei laughed twice, not taking Ming Zhan's resentment seriously at all. He held Ming Zhan's hand and said in a gentle voice, "Buying and selling is not a matter of benevolence and righteousness. I think you are in such a difficult situation, but it's just a mention. If you don't want to, just let it go." , will I still force you to fail?"

Ruan Hongfei coaxed Ming Zhan, "Fat, you really think too much."

Ming Zhan snorted heavily, obviously ungrateful for Joe.Fortunately, he thought about it a bit, otherwise he would have to count the money for the big liar if he was sold.

Ruan Hongfei hugged him with a smile, and smacked his forehead, "It's really not easy to lie."

"That is!" Ming Zhan has always been proud of his high IQ, he proudly declared, "I can get you, which one is easy to deceive!"

Ruan Hongfei smiled secretly, and said again unwillingly, "If you change your mind, we can discuss the conditions again."

Ming Zhan roared, "I will never change my mind! Big liar!"

A few years ago, he was cheated of his body and mind, and now he was almost cheated of his money, Ming Zhan snorted again.The person next to the pillow turned out to be a thief, what a miserable life he is living.

The salt merchants did not come empty-handed, they brought rare treasures dedicated to the emperor.

After handing over the handwriting written by Lin Yongshang to the yamen of the household department, they went home and waited for news.If you want to see the emperor, it also depends on the emperor's schedule.

Although the salt merchants came from the imperial capital of Huaiyang, they were big merchants, each of them had a branch business in the imperial capital, and they were very well informed about the news of the imperial capital.Since the imperial court published the news of Tianjin Port's investment invitation in the royal press, businessmen from all over the world have gathered in the imperial capital.

Salt merchants are not the only ones in the world who are rich, 360 lines, the bosses of any line are not paid for nothing.

At this time, the salt merchants showed their superb communication skills, so Shen Taiping and Cheng Yaozhi naturally went to the officials' children of various ethnic groups to inquire about news.It's just that apart from Shen Dongshu who is far away in Huguang, the two children of Shen Cheng don't have any outstanding companions.

Therefore, they cannot inquire about the news from the imperial court.

However, Ming Zhan entrusted Wu Wan with the responsibility of attracting merchants. Fortunately for the salt merchants, Wu Wan was from the Wu family of salt merchants.

Wu Zhen, the head of the Wu family, went to visit his extraordinary niece as soon as he came to the imperial capital.

Ordinary people can't see Wu Wan, and Wu Wan is not happy to meet some messy people.First of all, Wu Wan is a woman, some people naturally care about the defense of men and women, so it is not easy to go.Even if someone doesn't care about these etiquette rules, and comes to the door with the cheek, Wu Wan will not see him, and the reason can be said: the house is full of women, and no outsiders are welcome.

Therefore, although the investment attraction in Tianjin Port is extremely hot, Wu Wan's front door is somewhat untimely deserted.

Ming Zhan knew all these things, and he admired this woman even more.Sober and thorough, not to mention women, even ordinary men may not have Wu Wan's calm and sharp eyes.

This time, it was not easy to turn away those who came to Wu's house.

As the head of the Wu family, Wu Jing did not offend and bully Wu Wan even though he had ignored the Wu Wan family's property dispute before.Later, Wu Wan worked under the Empress Dowager Wei, and Wu Jing was even more quick-sighted and showed his favor repeatedly.Moreover, Wu Wan's property in Huaiyang, Wu Jing did not cause Wu Wan to suffer at all, showing the demeanor of the patriarch.

Wu Jing came to the door in person, so Wu Wan naturally wanted to see him.

Previously, Wu Jing had no impression of Wu Wan.The daughter of the side branch family, and the blood relationship between Wu Wan and Wu Jing is relatively distant, and it is impossible for Wu Jing to take care of her specially.

This time, it was the first time the two met.

Wu Wan is taller than ordinary southern women, her body is naturally three-pointed, her eyes are stern, and her features are beautiful. The previous slimness has gradually faded from her brows, replaced by calmness and firmness.

People say that love comes from the heart, Wu Jing knew that she was not a good woman when he came into contact with Wu Wan's ice-like eyes, and Wu Jing suddenly became very polite and modest.

Seeing Wu Wan come in, Wu Jing stood up and said with a smile, "I heard that niece Xian has bought a new house. I have just arrived in the imperial capital, and I have disturbed niece Xian's peace."

"Uncle Clan is too polite." Wu Wan was wearing a jade blue dark embroidered cross-neck dress. The intersecting neckline revealed a section of light pink inner satin, which added a touch of bright color and complemented the natural jade-colored skin of Jiangnan women. Immediately, it made people's eyes bright and added three points.

Wu Wan never thinks that a woman should treat herself like a widow if she has a tragic experience. She eats and clothes very meticulously. She has contacted many people, and her heart is naturally open. She smiled and invited Wu Jing to take a seat. Sitting on the main seat, he said with a smile, "I heard that the clan uncle is coming, it's a little later than I calculated."

Wu Jingdao, "Now that the salt department has been reformed, the salt merchants and I have to hand over the accounts of the salt farms in our hands before we can come to the imperial capital. It will be a little later."

Wu Wan didn't bring up this topic again, but instead asked, "Does Uncle Clan have any plans?"

"To tell you the truth, my niece, the emperor called me to come here. We have been selling salt for generations. Besides this, although there are some shops, it is just a small business. When Tianjin Port is opened, it is to do business with foreigners. I I don’t know much about this.” Wu Jing asked humbly, “I heard that my niece Xian entrusts the emperor with important tasks in the imperial capital, so I have to ask my niece Xian for some advice.”

Wu Wanrou said, "I'm just ordered to do some trivial things, so it's not really a word of reuse."

"Tianjin Port has always been what the emperor told us to do, and what we should do." Wu Wan said, "No one can guess what the emperor is thinking. The reform of the salt department is not going to be changed suddenly. There is a precedent in Yunnan and Guizhou. Let's take a look. The current situation of the Yunnan-Guizhou salt merchants, we can know where the emperor’s grace lies this time? It’s not difficult to guess.” Yungui and the imperial capital are both the emperor’s subjects, and according to the emperor’s shrewd temperament, it is absolutely impossible to favor one over the other.Wu Wan could still think of these things.

"If you ask me, the emperor will not let the salt merchants suffer." Wu Wan looked at Wu Jingdao, "The uncle may know that the emperor was born in the Zhennan Palace. This time, merchants from Yunnan and Guizhou also came. Take a share."

Wu Jing's pressure doubled immediately.

Wu Wan sighed, "I am in charge of attracting business, Uncle Clan, if you can come earlier, you will definitely have the upper hand in front of the emperor. Now the big businessmen who come to the imperial capital have eight hundred if not one thousand, whoever has no money, whoever has no power ?” The salt merchants are naturally rich, but among the merchants in the whole country, the salt merchants are not necessarily the top ones.

The richness of the salt merchants is that they sell salt for the imperial court and become rich because of the imperial court.Wu Jing also knew in his heart that they were late, but at this moment, no one cared about whether it was sooner or later.On the battlefield, there is only victory or defeat.

Wu Jing's complexion changed slightly, and he asked bluntly, "What should I do?"

Wu Jing, the patriarch of the dignified Wu family, is definitely not a person who has no ideas. He asked such a straightforward question, but he just wanted to know what Wu Wan meant.

Wu Wan had a clear heart and said, "Since the emperor summoned the clan uncle, the clan uncle can just follow the emperor."

Wu Jing was slightly disappointed.He came here hoping to have more accurate news, but now it seems that Wu Wan's mouth is very tight. How could Wu Jing not know what Wu Wan said?

It's just that the Tianjin Port matter is related to the rise and fall of the Wu family, and even he is a little hesitant.
