Chapter 208 006: I will take care of everything for you (second update)
An ordinary person would have been frightened to death by Emperor Chongming's look, but Princess Qianrong did not shy away at this time, with a smile still on her face, "I don't dare to lie to my father."
In the past, Emperor Chongming had been coaxing the courtiers, and all major matters were handled by Eunuch Jiang. She couldn't find a good opportunity to mention the tea bricks. She didn't want more people to know about it, otherwise she would just add variables.
Emperor Chongming knew the temperament of his eldest daughter quite well. She was also unruly and indulgent when she was young, but since then, her personality has completely changed. He felt heartbroken when he saw this. This was his first child.
"Oh, my son, do you have any good suggestions?"
Seeing that her father's face softened, the eldest princess secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The moment they looked at each other, her back was wet with sweat. The pressure almost made her breathless. She could only warn herself in her heart.
, this is the emperor, not her father.
"Father, I would like to make you a bowl of good tea."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongming just waved his hand to let her do as she pleased without asking what kind of tea it was.
It wasn't until a bowl of tea with a fragrant aroma was brought to him that he looked at the bowl of tea in his daughter's hand. The aroma was somewhat unique and not the kind he often drank.
"Father, give it a try."
Eunuch Jiang on the side wanted to step forward to try the tea, but the emperor waved his hand to signal him to step aside. He actually reached out and took the tea bowl without hesitation and began to taste it.
"Yes, where did this tribute tea come from?"
"This was given to me by the evildoer from my son's family. The unsatisfactory thing came to Yiyang City's Shipping Department. He said that there was a new thing there that was very good for export. He levied a lot of taxes on it. Later, he was let
I brought some for my son to try, but I thought I couldn’t keep this good stuff for myself, so I brought it to my father as a gift.”
Emperor Chongming was sitting all over the world. What good things had he not seen? What kind of tea could be exported so well? So he asked Eunuch Jiang, "Jiang Xing, have you delivered the account from the Shipping Company?"
"Your Majesty, I haven't yet. They always tax things in kind, and there is very little money. They will not be credited to their accounts until the items are escorted to the capital."
Princess Qianrong on the side said hurriedly, "Father, I am very interested in this matter. I asked the bad guy at home privately, and then I realized that this thing is very profitable." Then she handed Yuan Hao the data to her.
Presented directly to Emperor Chongming.
Seeing the above data, Emperor Chongming was shocked, "Can you really impose so many taxes?"
"This is for export. If it sells on a large scale domestically, wouldn't it be easy for my father to rebuild the palace?"
Emperor Chongming handed the data in his hand to Eunuch Jiang and looked at his daughter intently, "Is this the purpose of your visit today?"
When the eldest princess saw this, she knew something was wrong. She knelt down and said, "I just want to share my father's worries. I have no other intention."
Now that the national treasury is empty and Emperor Chongming's private treasury is not rich, she doesn't believe that he will not be tempted?
After a long while, Emperor Chongming said softly, "Get up, the ground is cold, be careful if you turn around and get sick again."
"Thank you, father." The eldest princess dared to sit back in her original position.
"Tell me, what's the problem with this thing?"
This time, the eldest princess did not show off, and directly told the past and present life of tea bricks. When she mentioned that Taizu had decreed not to make tea bricks, which was a waste of money and people, Emperor Chongming immediately felt that this matter was difficult to handle. After all, there was an ancestral system.
Seeing that Emperor Chongming was silent for a long time, the eldest princess cautiously said, "Father, here and now, in order to replenish the national treasury, you can allow him to make tea bricks for sale. If your father finds it difficult, why don't you just issue an edict?"
Only this family is allowed to make and sell it, so it doesn’t violate the ancestral system.”
After a pause, she saw that Emperor Chongming was slightly shaken, and she lowered her voice and said, "The Chang family who made this tea brick is a wonderful person. I can pay 30% of the profit as tribute. Father, won't my private treasury be filled now?"
?" When the time comes, you can build a palace or something without looking at the faces of the courtiers.
These words hit the heart of Emperor Chongming. Moreover, his daughter took advantage of a loophole in what she said. Only one family was allowed to make and sell it, so it would not be considered a waste of money and people, and she could naturally explain it to Taizu.
However, he was a very serious person, so naturally he would not agree to his daughter's request right away. He just said that he would consider it.
The eldest princess naturally did not dare to rush, but as long as she said she wanted to consider it, most of the matter would be settled, so she stopped mentioning it again when she was satisfied.
This matter was carried out quietly. Jiang Xing was a human being and he was always good at figuring out the emperor's thoughts, so no news of this matter spread. After this matter was implemented, it would be in vain for anyone to oppose it.
It wasn't until winter was approaching that Chang Xi received the news from Jie Jin.
At this time, she hurried to the other courtyard and broke into Xie Jin's territory without being informed by Zhou Nan. When she saw that he was fishing on the boulder with great interest, she knew there must be good news, "Is the tea brick thing done?
"
"Sit down." Xie Jin pointed to the seat next to him.
Chang Xi was confident that she would not be impatient, so she sat down directly and asked Zhou Nan to get her a fishing rod. She was in a good mood today and was ready to go fishing.
The two of them fished peacefully for a long time. After it got dark, they stopped fishing and went back inside to prepare for a meal.
At this point, Xie Jin said, "The eunuch who announced the decree should be on the way. This tea brick business will be labeled as a royal family in the future and will be supervised by the eldest princess. Her people will also live in the tea brick workshop..."
Chang Xi has no objection to the above. This is equivalent to a separate business. It can be said that she is the only one who can do this business in Daewoo Chao. It is easy to handle because she is not in the loose tea business and has not monopolized this industry, so even if some people are jealous,
But it doesn’t mean that people and money will be cut off. On the contrary, we can cooperate to achieve a win-win situation.
The original decision to only engage in tea brick business was to leave room for the future. Now it seems that it is the right thing to do.
But she didn't like to hear the rest of the story. Originally, the tea brick workshop was where she had her say. In order to realize the automated production of tea bricks, she had been investing money in Lin Yuqi's research for this purpose. Now she wanted to give her workshop a "
"Mother-in-law" came, and she was not happy.
When Xie Jin saw Chang Xi's pursed lips, he knew that she didn't want the eldest princess's people to enter the workshop. In fact, he could understand her mood. The workshop will be expanded in the future, because the domestic market is more important than export and foreign trade.
It would be even bigger, and the amount of money going in and out would only be bigger. She would be very uncomfortable if there was any supervision.
"Actually, the eldest princess's move is understandable. I don't have any objections." Chang Xi quickly calmed down and wouldn't say anything if she wasn't welcome. Dealing with the royal family was more of a wake-up call than dealing with officials in her previous life.
He was very energetic, because this minute is about losing his head, "But Mr. Jie Jiu, sometimes this person's temperament may not get along with others. If this person gets in the way, I hope you can stand on my side and kick him."
Get out and let the eldest princess send someone else."
She hopes that they can reach a consensus on this point, so that she can act with Shang Fang's sword in hand.
On this condition, how could Xie Jin not agree?
"Don't worry, if he comes and stirs up trouble, you don't have to worry about it. Just let him go back and forth from where he came. I'll take care of everything for you."
"With your words, I feel at ease."
Only then did Chang Xi smile again, that's good. Now that this matter has become a foregone conclusion, it's time to put the rectification of the He family on the agenda.
Autumn is about to pass and winter is coming. Some people still don’t want to keep it for the winter.
The plan was made early in the morning. He Xiling is actually quite easy to take advantage of. She actually accepted almost all the little notes thrown to her during this period. How did such an IQ survive to be so high?
But with her holding He Xiao back, He Xiao didn't even have time to make small moves. Of course, Chang Xi didn't want to push him too hard, but now that the time was ripe, she wanted to see what the person behind He Xiao would do.
Won't show up, this is the big fish she wants to catch.
"Girl, there is another note." The maid picked up the note and immediately presented it to He Xiling.
He Xiling has been pretending to be ill during this period, and the note has not been broken during this period. She also knows that the personnel in the mansion must be in trouble, but she selfishly never mentioned it to her mother Shan.
Now that she had received the note again, she was not as worried about it being poisonous as she had been at first. Instead, she grabbed it and opened it to read, and the other party gave her another suggestion.
Thinking of He Xiao's abominable true face, she took the advice from the note during this period, which actually made He Xiao suffer a lot, and she felt secretly happy.
Now this note taught her to give He Xiao a fatal blow. She remained silent for a long time after reading it. Although she hated He Xiao, she didn't really want to kill him. She just thought of being punched and kicked by her elopement partner.
He Xiao's "contribution" is there, but the hatred in his heart is like a prairie fire that cannot be suppressed.
If He Xiao couldn't be killed with one blow, he would definitely take revenge on her, so it was better to strike first as the note taught.
When He Xiao came to see her, she no longer looked sick. Instead, she was full of energy and surrounded her brother. "Brother, look, my illness is all gone."
He Xiao held his sister and looked at it for a long time, then a smile appeared on his face, "I just said that the doctor we invited this time is very smart. Just take the two doses of medicine he prescribed and you will be energetic."
"Yeah, I have to thank this doctor properly later." He Xiling said with a smile, "By the way, brother, now that I'm fine, I'm going to beat the drum tomorrow and sue that bitch Chang for selling illegal products for profit.
Will she look more majestic now?"
This move could not only bring down the hypocritical brother He Xiao, but also kill the Chang family. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that it would be a huge gain, so the smile on her face was not fake at all.
He Xiao saw this sister smiling so sincerely, so he didn't become suspicious. It seemed that she wouldn't come back halfway this time.
"That's very good. I'll take you there myself tomorrow." He had to keep an eye on her.
He Xiling smiled and nodded, "It's best to do it naturally."
Neither brother nor sister discussed this matter with He's father and He's mother, and neither He's father nor He's mother knew that a disaster was coming.
