[Red Mansion] Queen's Road

"Really?"

Linlin hugged the unicorn, and looked at Qian Sheng in disbelief, "The one you met is really my cousin?"

Qian Sheng turned his head quickly. The emperor was lying on the couch. A maid was rubbing his forehead for him, and another maid was waiting with a bowl of hangover soup.

Qian Sheng quickly turned his head back and swallowed, "Yes, yes, I was walking well on the road, but some people said that Uncle Guo was in front to let everyone out of the way, and the servant was still wondering when our Uncle Guo would come back. , I wanted to run over to say hello. But after looking around, I didn’t find any sign of our uncle Guo. After asking someone, I found out that it was your cousin, and he was also my uncle Guo.”

"According to what you said, there are quite a few uncles of the country. Although our family is a little far away from the Gusu Lin family, we enshrine the same ancestor. Could it be that the Gusu Lin family and my brothers of the same generation Are they all Uncle Guo?"

Qian Sheng didn't dare to speak.

"Okay, the mouth grows on other people, this matter has changed, let's not talk about whether it is the uncle of the country. What did our Long Live Lord say to him? We also drank wine."

Qian Sheng thought in his heart how he should tell such a lie if the emperor didn't tell the servants just now!

An idea struck me, "I asked about your childhood. I heard that you often went to Rongguo Mansion when you were young, because you said a few words about things when you were young and drank a few drinks. This is why our emperor is thinking of you..."

Before Qian Sheng finished speaking, the emperor lying on the couch snorted.

Linlin turned her head to look at the emperor, then lowered her head to look at her son's teething cake, and asked the maid to bring her son a new one.

He walked to the couch with his son in his arms, and put the little fat man on his father's stomach, the emperor quickly called out, "Hurry up and take him away, he almost spit out what he just ate. .”

Linlin moved her son to the emperor's chest again, "If the emperor wants to inquire about this, can't he just ask me? Can it be true to ask other people?"

"When we meet on the road, it's just a chat. It's not like Qian Sheng, the slave, asked about your childhood.

I just asked him about the price of rice and food, he didn't even know who I was, so I told him that I was Yunsheng's boss. "

"He's a dude who doesn't know anything. What do you have to talk to him about? Besides, Yunsheng is a cloth seller, and Detai is a seller of dried meat, preserved fruit, sauces and spices. When will we start the rice business. "

"Just ask casually."

"Since you asked casually, I have to take this matter as a big deal. I asked someone in Jiangnan some time ago. There is a master craftsman who is very good at craftsmanship. What do you think his craft is?"

"A haircut for women?"

"The artisans of our Ministry of Internal Affairs can make these things. Why bother to look far away? This man's craft is to make big ships, those big ships. Although the canal is good, it is a big river after all. When there are more ships passing by, It’s not easy to go on the river, so I think it’s better to travel by sea, firstly, it’s faster, and secondly, you don’t have to pay taxes when crossing the sea…”

The emperor suddenly turned over and sat up, took the hangover soup from the hand of the maid, and drank it all in one gulp, "How do you know that it is from the open sea... Could it be that many merchant ships have passed by the sea?"

"There are not many. Those big companies almost always have seven or eight ships. What I want to discuss with you is that although we can build ships, we don't have the manpower on the ships. Can we borrow them from your navy?" When some come out, I will ask people to recruit some local fishermen. At that time, we will get [-] or [-] big boats. I heard that the rice in Java is three times a year, and I also heard that the spices in Qianxiang, Just like the trees and weeds on our side are everywhere..."

"I just want to ask you, have you paid your taxes?"

"Pay it, it's a lot of money, if you don't believe it, you can check it."

Just now the emperor sat up suddenly and overturned the unicorn lying on his chest.Linlin quickly pulled her son up and stopped discussing the big boat.

"Look at this stupid son, just now your father was in a hurry, and you didn't make a sound after throwing you here. My stupid son didn't know how to find his parents to comfort him when he was wronged."

The emperor ignored their wives and walked around in the palace for a while thinking, "Don't let others know about this, you can do it quietly. As for the manpower of the navy...the navy is in the hands of the king with a different surname. I have to make a good total of this matter.

Let people make big boats first, don’t make too many, we will also make seven or eight boats, and as for those who run the boats, first recruit them from fishermen.This team of people is well organized and let them go to Java to bring me food. Every year, the drought and flood are uneven and the food is always not enough. People can do anything when they are hungry. "

"I am a big ship for business. Can I use food to offset the tax money?"

"We have a lot of money now, don't fall into the eyes of money."

"You sound good. I haven't saved enough money for your son's marriage. I see that the palace is a bit dilapidated, and I want to earn some money to repair it. There will be more children in the future. I think what to do?" Also prepare dozens of dowry and family property.

Although it is better to save slowly, but think about it, our eldest princess will get married in ten years or so, and the one in my arms will marry a wife. Unlike others, they only have one child a year, but our family can have four or five children a year. Can this happen slowly? "

"It's not impossible to listen to you, but you have to be steady and don't get a bad reputation. Otherwise, there will be something about competing with the people for profit, and you won't be able to continue this business."

"I see. Do you still have a headache now? If you still feel uncomfortable, let's settle it. We'll talk about other things tomorrow."

Linlin found a new way to make money, put her son by her side, and while looking after the child, she planned to show off her skills and make a good career.

Just as he was drawing up a pen to make a plan, Mantun ran over yelling.

"Miss something happened."

"What happened?"

"I heard from those serving in the imperial study that someone wrote a letter to impeach our master."

This great eunuch has not been valued by Linlin for a long time, and Linlin... chooses those who can read and write for the palace maids. It is fine to help Linlin read the account book and calculate the accounts. Only eunuchs are not allowed to be literate, so They had no choice but to lean closer to Linlin's side. Speaking of Linlin's natal family, they were also very affectionate. Those who didn't know thought they were escorts brought in by Linlin.

"Impeach what?"

"What did you say that the master is greedy in office... I don't remember the following words, please wait a little longer, I will ask you later."

It can be seen that she is not a smart person, Linlin waved her hand, "Forget it, don't ask, I know what a 'greedy' is."

After finishing speaking, she lowered her head and continued to do her own work. The maids and eunuchs in the palace looked at each other a few times, but they didn't know what Linlin was thinking.If it is placed with other empresses, when they hear that someone in their natal family has been impeached, they will either cry or cry.

Linlin calculated the accounts for a while, and Princess Shouchun, who lived in the side hall, brought someone to greet Linlin, and played with her brother for a while.

While playing with her younger brother, the little girl complained to Linlin, "The noble concubine who lives with my grandfather is so annoying. I was supposed to pinch flowers in the imperial garden today, but she came to let me go. , the flowers have not been pinched..."

Princess Shouchun has always been favored by the emperor since she was a child, and she has been rampant in the palace and no one dares to take care of her. Today, this kind of thing can't bear it anymore, and she will file a complaint as soon as she comes back.

"Is the imperial concubine out for a stroll today?" Linlin thought for a moment, and pulled the little girl to her. "Our Shouchun is a princess, so we should set an example for our younger brothers and sisters. Don't be as knowledgeable as those people. The queen mother is still here. There are some interesting ones, do you want to take a look?"

"What is it?"

"The most wonderful thing about the twelve zodiac signs carved in wood is that they can move."

Princess Shouchun was very happy when she heard that, she wanted to follow Hei Niu to see the twelve zodiac signs, and after running a few steps, she wanted to go with her younger brother in her arms.

But Qilin didn't want her to hug him, he was babbling, and when he was picked up, he held his face and was about to cry.The two were arguing over there, and the emperor came in.

The children were kicked out by the adults, and the emperor sat beside Linlin and held her hand, "I have received the news that your father has been poisoned."

"Who did it?"

"Besides those local emperors in the south of the Yangtze River, who else would kill the officials of the imperial court. The father has no limit to those old officials, and he chased all his sons to death. Let those old officials swallow my elder brother and third brother one by one. Now they have started poisoning the head of the country...Jiangnan can't ignore it, otherwise there will be trouble."

"Where are my mother and my brother?"

"This is very dangerous, someone poisoned their ginseng soup, your father drank the soup, and your father's concubine drank the rest.

Your mother went to the temple to offer incense with others, and your younger brother accompanied her.So the two of them escaped unharmed. Your father vomited a lot of blood at that time, and the aunt who gave birth to your concubine brother was not rescued, and she was gone. "

"How is my father now?"

"Fortunately, the secret report said that the person is already awake."

"They can't stay in that place in the south of the Yangtze River." Linlin held the emperor's hand, "Let them come back, they can save their lives."

"It's okay to come back, those loopholes are short for a while..."

Linlin thought to herself, the embezzlement of tax money was not for you.In the south of the Yangtze River, the only one who can be called the emperor of the earth is the mother's family of the noble concubine. The fifth prince must have resented that my father didn't give him money back then, but it was embezzled by you.Although he thought so in his heart, he still comforted the emperor with his mouth.

"Don't worry, my father has long wanted to plug the loophole. The Lin family has several generations, the population is not happy, and the family has not been divided, so there is still some money in the family. I will send a message to let the housekeeper in the capital become a seller Let’s plug this loophole first.”

"This..." After all, the emperor was not as thick-skinned as the city wall, "This matter is for me after all, how much silver is still in the inner treasury, let's take it out and give it to my father-in-law."

"How can we let them use our family's money, our family's life is very tight, this is not one hundred and eighty thousand, don't worry about it, I have just sent a message to the Lin Mansion in the capital."

"Since this is the case... I will order father-in-law and the others to come back to the capital as soon as possible, and let him leave the capital immediately to replace father-in-law. In less than two months, let father-in-law come to the palace to greet you."

Linlin smiled, but said nothing.Thinking about how to win this round!
