Chapter 90: The Qing Dynasty (Twenty-three)

Su Yuanyuan smiled and picked up a deck of playing cards, and asked curiously: "What is this? Literacy card?"
Li Yunfang took a close look at her expression, silently ruled out the possibility that she was a traverser in her heart, and explained: "This is a pastime, like a horse crane, but only four people can play a horse crane. This poker The cards can be played by a few people, and there are many more tricks than sacking."
"Really? Then this is a strange thing. Give me five and wrap it up." Su Yuanyuan felt that it might be a good thing to have a few crossing girls because they can bring a lot of things that she doesn't understand. Dynasty, this way of life is much easier.
Li Yunfang saw that Yinzhen had been with Su Yuanyuan with a smile, and his eyes didn't fall on her. His face was a little ugly, and he smiled embarrassedly: "Miss Su, the reason why these playing cards are not sold underneath is not because there are too many. Expensive, but because this thing is easy to imitate. If you sell a pair of cards and the game, then I..."
Su Yuanyuan nodded in understanding, and put the playing cards back in place, "If this is the case, then I won't be troubled by others. When Boss Li starts selling, I will buy it again. This time I will buy five crystal potted flowers. If it's different, just wrap it up carefully and give it to my maid."
After speaking, she just stood up and smiled and said, "Cousin, let's go, and then go shopping elsewhere."
Li Yunfang was in a hurry. She still wanted to spur their curiosity to add weight to herself. How could they leave? She didn’t care about the other things, so she started after two steps and said:
Ms. Ai, Miss Su, please stay. I think the two are outstanding, they must be rich and powerful. To be honest, I am The daughter of Li Wenye, the prefect of Suzhou, came to Beijing with her father to report on work. She wanted to exercise herself before opening this shop. It’s just that there are too many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital. I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep the things in my shop. I see two clear eyes. I'm upright, I don't know if I can shelter a little girl or two? I am willing to share 20% of the net profit as a filial piety to the two."
Can't attract Yinzhen's attention and try to tie them together. Which prince is too expensive? The prescription in her hands can make a lot of money. Isn't the best way for Yinzhen to keep her by marrying her back? Li Yunfang lowered her head slightly and relieved her heart. She remembered that Yinzhen was very fond of Li in the early stage, allowing her to have three sons and one daughter. As long as she seizes the opportunity to raise her sons, she will rely on her in the future. , Maybe you can be the queen mother.
In fact, she was right. If she was a local prince, even if she was very rude and weird, but only for her ability to make money, it is the safest thing to put her in the backyard, anyway, they don't care about the backyard. Many women do not believe that this woman can pull out flowers. It's a pity that Yinzhen is not a local prince, and the response he gave is no response, waiting for Su Yuanyuan to say.
Su Yuanyuan turned her head and smiled, "Boss Li doesn't have to worry too much. The capital is at the feet of the emperor. How could anyone bully the daughter of the prefect? ​​Besides, Master Li's entry to Beijing is probably going to be promoted. It's a colleague, let alone snatching your things. If you are really scared, then we should go back to discuss with the elders. It is better to understand this kind of shop-related matters, so I won't bother today."
Li Yunfang still wanted to keep them, but found that the reasons were blocked by Su Yuanyuan, so he could only watch them leave, frowning and returning to the room. She always felt that something was wrong. Wouldn't the average person be curious to see so many strange things? With ancient men's contempt for women, don't you think it's worthwhile to marry her back? She is not only the owner of Duobao shop, she is also the daughter of a fourth-rank official!
On the other hand, Yinzhen and Su Yuanyuan went directly to the palace after leaving the Duobao shop. Yinzhen took many things bought from the Duobao shop to report to Kangxi. This store turned out to be very strange, but for a few of them, these are the things of the future that De Fei said. They suddenly appeared and must be known to Kangxi.
It was these things that made Kangxi completely believe in the future world. He was not reconciled to order, "Go and arrest that Li and interrogate her about the future!"
Yinzhen stepped forward and persuaded: "Huang Ama, in fact, the sons and ministers think it doesn't matter what the future is like. Li's ability to do so many things must be of great benefit to the people. The sons think that detaining her is worse than giving her a royal merchant. , Let her research more things. Erchen will also recruit talented craftsmen to let them do more research based on De Fei's confession. As long as the country is prosperous and strong, things that happen hundreds of years later will not matter to us. "
"Huh, it's just some wicked tricks. The way you can ask her about those things even if you catch her, let her be outside, if she talks nonsense..."
"Huang Ama, please rest assured, the child minister will send someone to monitor her words and deeds, and will never let her have the opportunity to change. The child minister thinks that she can only ask for glory and wealth, so she is allowed to profit, and then she will manage her. The most convenient thing is that Erchen does not have to explain to others why so many strange things were suddenly made. After all, the character of Erchen is really not like doing these researches."
Kangxi frowned and thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "Okay, this matter is left to you, you can take care of it." There are so many major national events, these gadgets used in life are not worthy of his attention at all, he just rejects this very much. The so-called traversing person. After thinking about it, he ordered Yinzhen to secretly go to the Qin Tianjian and the eminent monks of the royal temple to inquire about why there were women who crossed the road and whether it would shake the national fortune.
Yinzhen responded immediately. When he saw Li Yunfang again, he directly asked someone to bring Li Yunfang to his house. Li Yunfang suppressed the excitement in his heart, and bowed to Yinzhen in a proper manner. He could not say: "Ai, Ai Gongzi? Are you the fourth eldest brother?"
Yinzhen did not disguise her disguise, nodded, and said, "Besides the things in your shop, do you know other skills?"
Li Yunfang quickly pondered it, showing a bit of confidence, "Going back to the fourth elder brother, the courtier is indeed still studying other things. The courtier is quite talented in this aspect, and may come up with better things in the future. Si older brother said The meaning of the next... But are you willing to protect the business of the courtier?"
Yinzhen turned the finger on his hand and said, "It is okay to protect your store, but everything in your store cannot exceed the cost. Forty percent of the profits go to the national treasury, 10% to me, and the rest to you. You are responsible for research, and I will be responsible for promoting things to the whole country. As for the operation of the store, your people and mine are jointly responsible. At the same time, you will be given the status of a royal merchant and allow you to establish your own business."
"The Treasury? The emperor merchant?" Li Yunfang's eyes widened, shocked by the unexpected turn. Is it because she opened a shop too high-profile, Yinzhen didn't dare to swallow this shop and reported it to the emperor? She couldn't help but regret it, so what's the point of her becoming a businessman all at once? Even if it is self-supporting, it is also a scholar, farmer, industry, and commerce!
Yinzhen saw her a little anxiously, and said, "Of course, if you work for the royal family, the royal family must protect you for a lifetime. If you marry or recruit a family member in the future, the royal family will be your backer, and your future son can also enter the Imperial College. It is the sincerity of the royal family. But you must ensure that you do your best to contribute to the country and benefit the country and the people."
"I, I don't understand, why did the royal cooperate with me like this? These conditions...unheard of, some, some weird, and unreasonable."
"The royal act is naturally for the people of the Li people. There are many things in your store that are not available to the people, but they are either too expensive or not good. You can make improvements. If you can keep the price down, it will be beneficial to the people. A great thing is good for you and the country, it will benefit you without harm."
The development of the gaffe was completely beyond Li Yunfang's cognition. She didn't know if she should believe it or not, but she followed Yinzhen's pie and thought about it. This turned out to be a rare good future! In the future, she will no longer have to worry about being married by her parents at will. She has royal support and money. Although the unit price is only a little more than the cost, it will be a huge profit to promote to the whole country. And she doesn't have to fight with other women at all. In a few years, she will recruit one. She is still the head of the family, and her son will have a good future. Although he can't be the prince, he is also protected by Yinzhen.
She kind of understood that Yinzhen didn't mean to marry her at all. Now this is the best choice. The most important thing is that before she cooperates with Yinzhen and does not get a family, she still has a chance to make Yinzhen tempted. Nothing will affect you if you recruit more details!
Li Yunfang thought about it for two quarters of an hour, and finally made up his mind, "I have promised, thank you Si elder brother for giving me this opportunity to serve the country!"
Yinzhen asked Su Peisheng to write three contracts, one for Li Yunfang, one for him, and one for the Ministry of Household to archive. In the future, the account of the store will naturally be inspected by the household department, and the development of the store will be handled by him. Li Yunfang only needs to put forward some fresh ideas, and then bring many talents and craftsmen to study things.
Li Wenye and his wife received this news from a thunderbolt. They are still showing their daughter a good view of others. Why did their daughter suddenly become a royal merchant? Although royal means grace, didn't this ruin Li Yunfang's life? Doing business is something that can’t be put on the table, how can a daughter of a magnificent prefect become a merchant?
But Li Yunfang didn't think so, especially when she heard her mother talk about the son of whose family she was back to the mansion, she was even more sure that she had taken this step right, and she was finally able to be autonomous in this feudal society! She completed the household registration, immediately bought a large house in the bustling street, and moved with her confidant. Faced with the obstruction of her parents, she promised to give them money for filial piety every month. There will be no shortage of clothes and all kinds of good things for the four seasons. It is completely the standard for the separated son to be filial to his parents, but she wants her to share them She didn't want to live with her son. She had to study many things, and it was not convenient to live with them.
Li Wenye and his wife felt that this incident was ridiculous, but they didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction after reading the contract, and they were more cautious, fearing that the emperor was beating them. Kangxi originally thought that it was unruly for a woman to show her face as a royal merchant, but when she saw the "plan" that Yinzhen made, she felt that it didn't matter. Letting them toss and toss might really make the people more convenient.
It's about researching things, and also about business. Yinzhen directly sent Yue Xing'a to take charge. He has experience in both aspects and he is particularly eager to learn. He was given this opportunity. In the future, he will be promoted and promoted. . This made Li Yunfang a little disappointed. It turned out that she couldn't see Yinzhen even when she cooperated with Yinzhen. Without thinking, she could only concentrate on researching. She knew that she had to embody her own value, otherwise this privilege could become a reminder at any time.
After arranging these things, Yinzhen went to talk to Su Yuanyuan about the specific progress. His decision to do this was actually Su Yuanyuan's idea. Those crossing women had nothing to do with him, and he had no obligation to take care of who to help whom, but Su Yuanyuan discovered the benefits of crossing women from Defei. No matter what their purpose is, they know something more or less, and it will definitely bring convenience to the people, and she has been thinking of ways to improve the status of women, which is too difficult in the feudal dynasty. If you can pass these things Women may really get some opportunities to reflect their value. Anyway, Kangxi already knows the crossing woman and knows the future. These trivial things that are not in Kangxi's eyes are very promising for her.
Brother Jiu is thirteen this year. After knowing about Dubaodian, he pestered Yinzhen every day to get involved. He didn't love civil and military since he was a child, and he liked doing business after accounting, but Kangxi always reprimanded him and forbid him to compete with the people. But this time, the emperor merchant who cooperated with Yinzhen was a business for the country and the people. He felt that he could participate in it, and it was the most suitable.
"Fourth brother! Good fourth brother! Let me be responsible. You see that you do so many things every day. Where can I worry about business? I am good at this aspect. My brother will share the worries for you, and I will definitely do it properly. At that time, my fourth brother only needs to give me that little bit, so I can eat and drink!"
Yinzhen said with a laugh: "When did your grandson brother worry about eating and drinking?"
"That's not the same. I earned it myself! Brother, when we were young, we were not good, but how good was our relationship later? You see you forced me to practice calligraphy and study, and I didn’t even hate you. It means I treat your brother. Love, you must take care of me. You don’t want me to do nothing in the future, right? This is the most suitable opportunity for me. Huang Ama will definitely not scold me. When I develop my business, maybe Huang Ama I still praise me, it really suits me."
"Okay, if you do well, my 10% profit will be divided into half for you. Don't mess around and make Huang Ama angry."
"Okay! Thank you Brother Si!"
You Yinzhen helped to intercede. Kangxi gave Yinzhen a meal and agreed to do business. Anyway, he was not interested in other things for so many years. Now that he wants to do business, he can do business well, so that one day he won’t bother to set up. What Baye Party. If Brother Nine has something to do, Brother Eighth and Brother Ten naturally can't sit still, they are all about the same age.
Kangxi thought for a while, and simply arranged Ba Age to work as a errand in the household department. Isn't this son Linglong the most able to buy people's hearts? Just let him be responsible for offending people, and he won't be thinking about being a lone official in the future. If this son really has good abilities, he will be able to get a lot of money and fill the treasury. And ten princes went to the big camp in the suburbs of Beijing. He was not willing to take care of things, so he liked to dance with knives and guns. The three brothers are divided into different places, so they don't hug each other.
As for them all have a good relationship with Yinzhen, it doesn't matter. Yinzhen will definitely not have any thoughts about being unable to give birth. They all follow Yinzhen and can save trouble.
But Kangxi knows that he is not afraid of this, it does not mean that the prince and the others understand it. In the eyes of the prince, elder brother and third elder brother, Kangxi was becoming more and more partial to Yinzhen. Not only did he let him take charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, but also let him supervise such a profitable business. Gifting marriage is equivalent to giving Tong Banchao's power. What does this mean? Train him?
And Yinzhen has a good relationship with so many brothers from the fifth to the fifteenth. Isn't this buying people's hearts? Why did the emperor see that he didn't care, and he was still very satisfied? How important is Yinzhen?
Both the eldest brother and the prince began to regard Yinzhen as a big threat, as did Suo'etu and Mingzhu, and the DPRK and China were considered to be a tripartite.
The Duobao store is developing very well. Jiu elder brother is very convenient and talented here. In addition, Li Yunfang's things are really easy to use and can be easily promoted. And Jiu elder brother sits in Duobao shop, who dares to copy their things? However, within a few months, Brother Jiu opened several branches and made huge profits, making a fortune for the treasury. I don't know what he and Li Yunfang talked about. Li Yunfang actually gave him 10% of his 50% profit, and then completely ignored the business.
Brother Jiu immediately remembered when she said that there were gold and gemstones everywhere overseas, but there was no tea, silk, and porcelain. Investing in shipbuilding began to test overseas transactions. In the process of shipbuilding, Yinzhen sorted out some of the knowledge that Defei, Li and himself had learned, and made people vigorously research and experiment, and built much ahead of the time. Added a big boost.
Kangxi hated foreign countries after hearing Defei's words, but to rule the Han with a small number of Manchus would not have the energy to deal with foreign countries, and did not approve of dealing with foreign countries too early. But seeing that his sons just wanted to make money and accidentally made a good boat, he turned a blind eye to their actions and reluctantly agreed. It's just that overseas transactions take a long time, and you can't see any results for a while, but many people think that Jiu's prodigal is fooling around.
In addition, Yue Xing'a took people to open Duobao branch stores in several cities, and Yinzhen used the words of Defei and Li to mention logistics and newspapers. Logistics can be linked to the post station, and Yue Xing'a is directly responsible for recruiting some veterans and strong men from the countryside, which will soon develop. Newspapers and periodicals are a bit troublesome, but the newspapers and periodicals are merged with logistics. They bring newspapers and periodicals to all parts of the country when they come and go, and then sell them from various stations. It is very convenient, just pay attention to the guidance of the words in the newspapers.
Yinzhen's proposal was handed over to the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother to be responsible. Both of them were meticulous and cautious, and never participated in any forces. There are also Queen Mother and Concubine Yi behind the fifth eldest brother. If there is no force to put pressure on him, he can be impartial and impartial in reporting.
This offends Sange. He thinks that his literary talent is the best among his brothers, and how can he be missed by newspapers and magazines. But he is actually arrogant and lofty in his bones. Yinzhen feels that if he manages the newspaper, it must be full of superiority and flattering, satisfying and degrading the Han Chinese. In this way, the newspaper will be counterproductive. Therefore, Yinzhen proposed to write a book saying that he wanted to send the third elder brother to sort out the history. This job was very suitable for the arrogant third elder brother. He felt that it was much more noble than the newspapers and did not have to look for trouble.
Paper is not cheap, and the price of newspapers and periodicals is also high, so Yinzhen proposed to take out a newspaper and publish it on the wall every time for all the people to read. Those wealthy and wealthy people will naturally buy a separate home to watch for themselves, which not only earns the benefits of newspapers and periodicals but also ensures the dissemination of information. Everyone can understand the news from afar and broaden their horizons.
A lot of things have happened this year. At first glance, they are trivial things that are not on the stage. No one cares about the nobles of the family. But looking back, Dubao stores, logistics, newspapers and magazines all have a big impact on the people. All are good things for the people, and some profits can be returned to the national treasury. Yinzhen has made another great contribution!
The eldest brother and the prince recruited him many times, wanting him to do things for them, but Yinzhen just refused to buy in. He only listened to the emperor's instructions, and suddenly became a thorn in their eyes, and completely regarded him as a rival to win. In particular, the positions of the first few brothers actually have something to do with Yinzhen, which made them more vigilant, waiting to find a chance to trip him.
However, the more Kangxi now sees these four sons, the more satisfied he is. As the emperor, he is busy with official duties. It is Yinzhen who helped him deal with so many trivial matters, so that the people can live better, the treasury is more abundant, and the palace is safer. What a capable minister. If things go on like this, he will be able to relax a lot. In particular, the few brothers had all their favorite things under Yinzhen's suggestion, and they all did a good job. There was no sign of the Nine Dragons' conquest, which made him extremely satisfied.
In the new year, he decided to reward all the princes. The eldest eldest brother made the merits of war and became the king of Zhijun. The third elder brother was awarded the title of Chengjun king with the merits of writing books. From the fifth elder brother to the tenth elder brother is Baylor, the younger ones will not be sealed.
So when Su Yuanyuan finally ushered in the day of marriage, she was already the princess of the county, and she attracted countless envy.
