Chapter 691: Industrial power, business rich

"This country of Chu will be mine in the future, so I naturally know it in my heart."
Li Chuyuan glanced at Wang Cheng, with deep meaning in his words.
Wang Cheng arched his body immediately after hearing the words. Li Chuyuan was obviously reminding him to pay attention to the measure. Even if he was a proton, he could not be blamed by a courtier.
Picking up the chopsticks, Li Chuyuan sandwiched a piece of braised pork and said: "Since Fei Ge invited me, I will take a look. After all, this knife was not cut on my body."
...
In the princess mansion, Princess Pingyang was reading the "Qingzhou Daily", she frowned when she saw the news that King Zhao was about to be beheaded, and then she sighed suddenly.
"Hey, I think that there was a turmoil in Chang'an City in the past and the main palace would know it for the first time, but now the main palace can only be seen from this newspaper."
The guest of the princess mansion today is Song Guogong's wife Liu, she said: "Who said no, the emperor is keeping an eye on us, relatives of the emperor, and no one dares to step beyond the thunder pond."
Princess Pingyang pursed her lips and laughed. After the imperial relatives in Chang'an fled to Qingzhou, Xiao Ming irrespectively did not give the imperial relatives a monthly payment, which made many imperial clans dissatisfied. , Privately criticized Xiao Ming.
"Naturally, this thunder pond cannot be overtaken. Otherwise, I'm afraid that it will fall to pieces. It is safer for us to walk on the shore safely. After all, this emperor is different from the first emperor. This prince dare to kill. Who else is he? I dare not kill." Princess Pingyang smiled intentionally or unintentionally.
Liu's face was red and white. She understood the secret words. Among the royal family members in Qingzhou, only Princess Pingyang had the highest prestige, so they would come to Princess Pingyang to complain.
This Liu family is no exception. Although Xiao Ming did not issue any silver to these royal family members, Xiao Ming once issued a large amount of silver to these royal family members according to their titles to let them do business.
He also ordered Li Kaiyuan to set up a special royal merchant team for these royal relatives. As long as these royal family members are willing to do business, the chamber of commerce will open the door to convenience.
It's just that some royal family members think this is a shame and just refuse to do business, such as Song Guogong.
I took the eight thousand two sons given by Xiao Ming to gamble, and the result was a total loss. If it hadn't been for the relief of Princess Pingyang, this Song State public meal would not be enough.
Being secretly accused by Princess Pingyang, the Liu family can only suffer. She said: "What the princess said is reasonable, but not everyone has the business talents of the princess. It is said that the princess now earns tens of thousands of taels of silver per month. Your Royal Highness can mention something."
"It was Song Guogong who asked you to come again." Princess Pingyang snorted softly. "It's no wonder that the emperor is angry, one is not a weapon, how does this make the emperor trust you."
Liu stopped speaking, so she could only complain and complain.
With a slight sigh, she said to the Liu family: "Even so, the emperor is too negligent towards the royal family members now. It won’t work if these people stabbed Lou Zi that day, this will give him Pang Yukun and the officials who blame us. Excuse me."
After all, she asked Ouyang Mu to get fifty taels of silver from Liu's family. Now Xiao Ming has to take care of her. These people really made her a little headache.
The Liu family gratefully left, and Ouyang Mu said at this time: "His Royal Highness, this is no way to go on like this. Although the business of the Princess Mansion is quite profitable, this Song Guogong will be the Tang Guogong. Sooner or later. They have to be hollowed out, not to mention that they are generous one by one, and there are too many people in the family, and there is not enough money."
"I don’t know this palace. Because of this, the emperor gave us a sum of money and sent us the royal clan members. When the first emperor was here, it was just this example of silver that accounted for the bulk of the national treasury expenditure. This emperor is good at it, but However, the emperor was somewhat wishful thinking about this matter, letting it go for fear of trouble. Today, Liu's words are full of dissatisfaction with the emperor, and the grievances are high. This is not accidental, it must be that they often talk about it.
After a pause, she said: "It seems that this palace needs to go to the palace to see the emperor. By the way, I will ask about the reform, saying that I can't get close to the water and get the moon first."
Ouyang Mu gave a wry smile. Although the Pingyang princess took care of these royal family kinsfolk, she didn't even go to the palace to find the emperor.
Her real intention was to reform the law. Princess Pingyang was extremely intelligent, and she was already prepared after the reforms showed signs.
Asking Ouyang Mu to prepare, she went directly to Xingyuan, and after a briefing, she saw Xiao Ming, who had been criticizing memorials in Zhengyu's study.
"The emperor, it's right to be diligent in government affairs, but you shouldn't be exhausted." Princess Pingyang said slightly affectionately.
Xiao Ming smiled, having to say that Princess Pingyang is very good at life, no wonder Xiao Wenxuan loves this sister so much.
After she lived in Qingzhou, the Pingyang princess would come here from time to time to chat with the empress dowager and Fei Yue, and at the same time send him some weird things.
It can be said that he can see Princess Pingyang after a short distance.
However, there are not many cases where Princess Pingyang came to him directly, so he said: "The princess must not be here to care about my body."
In the past, Xiao Ming was able to call Princess Pingyang aunt when he was the king of Qi, but after he became the throne, he could only call her the eldest princess.
Pingyang has long been accustomed to Xiao Ming's straightforward way of speaking. In her opinion, her nephew, the prince and nephew, doesn't like cumbersomeness, but only likes simplicity.
So she said: "Don't hide from the emperor, this time I am here for the royal family's kinsman. I think the emperor knows about Song Guogong."
"I know ~EbookFREE.me~ Not only Song Guogong, but now many princes and children are very dissatisfied with me." Xiao Ming said lightly.
Princess Pingyang said with a serious face: "Why should the emperor care about them? As long as it is beneficial to the country, why should he care about them? If the royal family is gone, they will not starve to death one by one."
"The eldest princess is righteous." Xiao Ming laughed. "It's not appropriate to just let them keep looking for the eldest father's money. Doesn't it mean that I am unkind?"
Princess Pingyang didn't change her face, she said: "The emperor has been worrying too much. My money is also given by the emperor. This is a thousand words, and they thank the emperor."
In fact, there is no need for Princess Pingyang to say that this matter, he is also prepared to deal with these royal family members, because these imperial family members who are accustomed to domineering in Chang'an have caused a lot of trouble for him in Qingzhou.
This will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the people for a long time, because they represent the royal family.
So he said: "I can give them another chance. This time I decided to encourage private business and workshops. If they actively participate, they will be able to eat and drink without worries. If they are still following the rules, they will complain to me when they run out of money. Don't blame me for being ruthless."
