Chapter 153 The old concubine’s compromise and Emperor Jingshun’s discouragement

Weng and his son-in-law made close guesses about the matter of conferring a concubine.

The Zhen family had previously been wiped out due to an overseas fleet.

The losses were extremely heavy.

The boat is not expensive.

The cost of building a lucky boat is between 500 and 800 taels.

A hundred ships are only 80,000 taels.

But!

First, it is not easy to build ships.

The wood needed to build a large ship even requires several years of processing.

Water control, oiling, painting, etc.

Many processes are extremely cumbersome and time-consuming.

If you want to save hundreds of ships, it will take more than ten years.

It may not be available at cost price.

Because most of the shipyards are custom-made, but priority must be given to supplying them to various navies.

Eight out of ten ships is barely enough, but hundreds of ships...

Unless the navy is emptied.

Otherwise, even if you buy it at a high price, you may not be able to get enough.

Secondly, there are the manpower on the ship.

This is not just a matter of skilled sailors, but the most loyal subordinates of the Zhen family.

Overnight, half of the capable people of the Zhen family disappeared at sea.

There are many of them, even relatives from various houses of the Zhen family.

Third, there are direct losses and indirect losses of goods.

Direct loss is easy to understand, it is the money and goods lost together with the ship.

Indirect losses refer to related transactions.

Nowadays, the Zhen family's business related to sea trade has come to a standstill or semi-standstill state.

This way.

The Zhen family's only chance to plug the hole.

Almost annihilated.

Zhen Yingjia said that she wanted to make a comeback and was busy reorganizing the fleet.

In fact, it is just to appease people's hearts.

His real response was the letter to the old concubine.

Ask the old concubine for help to promote the daughter of the Zhen family.

He said that even if the future is cold, he can still leave a little more flesh and blood for the Zhen family.

This is not the first time such words have been said.

The old concubine understood it at a glance.

Emperor Jingshun had no heirs, and many people wanted to achieve success in one fell swoop.

If you want to send someone to the palace, why not talk about flesh and blood?

That's all.

The old concubine also wanted to do her part for the family, but Emperor Jingshun did not take the initiative.

This time, just like before, Emperor Jingshun looked after him.

Just find an excuse and leave.

When the Zhen family got the news, they felt like their situation was getting worse.

That is extremely urgent!

Emperor Jingshun naturally knew everything about the Zhen family.

If it weren't for the old concubine's side, it would be possible to confiscate the family and exterminate the entire clan.

Even, even if there is an old concubine.

The Imperial Capital of Jingshun wanted to kill them several times and live a prosperous year.

Not to mention promoting the daughter of the Zhen family, even if she is selected as a female historian to enter the palace, it will not work.

Of course, Emperor Jingshun would not refuse directly.

At most, he avoided her and ignored the old concubine for a few more days.

Asking means being busy with government affairs.

But the emperor and the empress dowager's morning and dusk meditation has never been missing.

Although the solution is not clever, it is hard to find fault with.

The Zhen family is somewhat aware of their own situation.

I have been trying my best to make amends over the years.

It's a pity that even overseas business is still there.

That little money is just a drop in the bucket.

Now that there is no overseas business, Zhen Yingjia even wants to start ruining it.

I'm not going to worry about any holes anymore.

At this time, the Zhen family was like a trapped animal.

Want to seize every opportunity to escape.

A few days ago, Zhen Yingjia saw the power of four bastards and eight princes working together.

That was the existence for which the cabinet suspended partisanship.

The Zhen family immediately wanted to join this alliance.

Speaking of which, the Zhen family is not only very close to the Jia family,

The second girl of the Zhen family is also the royal concubine of King Beijing.

It can be said that I have good friendships with all the four princes and eight princes.

Zhen Yingjia thought about it, but in the end she was afraid that something might go wrong with the Jia family.

Choose Beijing Wang as the breakthrough point.

Hope to join this new political alliance smoothly.

At the same time, Zhen Yingjia wrote a letter of appeal to the old concubine.

This time, I finally didn’t ask for women from the Zhen family to enter the palace again, I just asked the old concubine to give them a chance to live.

Having said that, how could the old concubine not understand.

This is simply not something she can do.

So I still begged her to let a woman from the Zhen family enter the palace, looking for the only chance.

In fact, she had long understood that it would be difficult for a girl from the Zhen family to enter the palace.

The only chance is to conceive a dragon heir after entering the palace.

It's like ascending to heaven.

After receiving the petition letter, she decided to try her best one last time.

This is a woman's sense of responsibility to her natal family.

The old concubine only hopes to plead for the only time in her lifetime.

Can impress the son who became the emperor.

As soon as Emperor Jingshun arrived, the old concubine immediately said goodbye.

Approximately... no.

He is forcing this son.

He simply said it clearly that he wanted the emperor to give the Zhen family a way to survive.

Allowing girls from the Zhen family to enter the palace is also a way to spread the branches and leaves of the royal family.
