Chapter 29 Unloading the Grind and Killing the Donkey
I made 1.5 million taels in three days. Of course, this was due to the fact that perfume and soap were new and everyone was hoarding them, but Guochanglong’s good sales network was also one of the important reasons. If it weren’t for relying on this platform
If so, even if you make money, you won't be able to make so much.
Red eye disease is a common problem in this world at all times. Most people can accept that their friends around them are not doing well, and they will comfort them or even offer help. But once you are better than the people around you, then I'm sorry
, will definitely arouse jealousy and may even encounter various hidden tricks.
Guo Changlong was not outstanding before, and he was even struggling to make ends meet. Naturally, everyone had no interest in him, but treated him as a burden. Some people looked at the eldest princess with pity and sympathy.
I thought that the eldest princess who took over this hot potato must have a hard time, and she might even fall out of favor because of it.
Now that Guo Changlong had made money, when everyone looked at the eldest princess, their eyes changed. First they were envious, then jealous, and then they thought about how to replace me and enjoy the fruits of this victory.
Among them, the one who has this kind of mentality and is confident that he can be replaced is the current prince-Tang Xin.
As the current crown prince and the future legal heir of the Daqian Dynasty, Tang Xin has many advantages.
For example, his mother is the only noble concubine in the harem; his uncle, King Jin, is the most powerful vassal king in the Daqian Dynasty and holds great power; he himself has the support of most officials in the court, etc.
Ordinarily, with so many advantages at hand, the prince should live a very comfortable life. But one thing has been bothering him. The current emperor, that is, his father Emperor Qianwen Emperor Tang Qingshan, is in such good health that he even catches a cold.
Fever is rare.
Emperor Qianwen, who is only in his early forties, is very likely to live for more than ten decades. Does it mean that he, the prince, will continue to live for more than ten decades? In this case, who can guarantee that there will be no death in the middle?
Something went wrong?
Especially in recent years, the father has always unintentionally raised the value of his younger brother, the third prince, Prince Xiang. Not only did he give him the title of Prince Sanzhu, but he also gave him no title to Prince Xiang.
Fiefdom means letting him leave Daliang City.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is Emperor Qianwen's intention to establish a new crown prince. This not only made the prince nervous, but also caused many thoughtful ministers in the court to throw themselves at the feet of Prince Xiang, threatening to compete with him.
The prince was very distressed. Faced with King Xiang's aggressive momentum, he could only find ways to recruit more ministers in the court to consolidate his position. But doing so would require spending a lot of money.
The prince is very short of money.
In other words, for an ambitious person, no amount of money is enough for him to spend. Just when he was thinking of ways to make money, Guo Changlong appeared in his field of vision.
Guo Changlong, who did not make money, was regarded as a burden by the prince. In the past, he had talked about Guo Changlong in private situations in front of his cronies. He believed that since the royal family dominated the world, they should not engage in imperial business and compete with the people.
Profits. Not to mention that Huang Shang Kong cannot bring benefits despite its support. It is really a failure.
One moment and the other. Now Guo Changlong can make money, and he can make a lot of money. The prince's attitude has also changed drastically. Not only does he find him more pleasing to the eye, but he also wants to take him into his pocket. In this case, he
With the money to win over more people, it will become much easier to deal with King Xiang.
Intrigued, the prince soon got some inside information that no one else knew. For example, the private agreement between Shen Ao and the eldest princess. When he heard from his subordinates that Shen Ao would personally receive 40% of Guochanglong's profits, The prince at that time was so envious that his eyes turned red.
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Although it was already dark, Emperor Qianwen was still lighting up the lamp to review the memorial. The smile that crossed his lips from time to time proved that he was indeed in a good mood.
Guochanglong made money, which not only enriched the national treasury, but also proved the correctness of his support for the establishment of Guochanglong.
In contrast, the former brought benefits, while the latter brought an increase in credibility and prestige. When he went to court these days, Emperor Qianwen could clearly feel that the ministers below him were more respectful when facing him. a bit.
Thinking of these things, Emperor Qianwen felt happy and even ate more food than usual in the past few days. Yan Fu, who was waiting beside him, was also very happy. And after going to court every morning, Guochanglong's new After the profit share is sent, he will report it to Emperor Qianwen as soon as possible, just to make the boss laugh.
The mood improved, and the speed of reviewing the memorials seemed to speed up a bit. The atmosphere in the hall also became a lot more pleasant, and all of this changed because of the arrival of the prince.
The prince came, knelt on the ground, kowtowed respectfully and said long live. "My son, I would like to greet my father, long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."
"Xin'er is here, please get up quickly. If it's not the New Year or the festival, you don't need to do this gift." Emperor Qianwen just raised his head and said casually.
Although Emperor Qianwen was a bit more suspicious and not very trusting of people, he was still very relaxed in treating others. For example, for things like giving a big gift, unless necessary, it was usually just a bow and a situation. As a king and his minister, he would not pursue it excessively.
After hearing the word "Ping Shen", the prince stood up. Standing respectfully, he first raised his head and glanced at Emperor Qianwen who was still reviewing the memorial. Then he gritted his teeth and said cruelly, "Father, my son is incompetent and cannot replace him." The father is worried and tired, so that the father has to criticize the child so late every day, and the child is frightened."
"Well, Xin'er, don't worry. This is what you need to do for the emperor. From now on, when I hand over the Daqian Dynasty to your hands, you will be like your father." Still not looking up, Emperor Qianwen said He said this while reviewing the memorial. He would not tell others. He likes the feeling of having power and the sense of security of having everything in his hands. Reviewing the memorial is a way for him to control the overall situation. The way.
The prince standing below did not know these thoughts of Emperor Qianwen. He was still excited about the words that he would take over the Qian Dynasty. Fortunately, he still remembered the mission here and pretended to be very scared and said, "Father is at the peak of his power in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he can still rule the Great Qian Dynasty for tens of thousands of years."
"Haha." Emperor Qianwen was very happy after hearing this. He put down the memorial in his hand, looked at the prince with a smile and said: "Xin'er, no one can live forever, and no one can really live forever. After ten thousand years, my father will eventually grow old, and the Daqian Dynasty will still be in your hands. Well, it’s so late, so Xin’er must have something going on.”
After listening to the emotional words and hearing Emperor Qianwen take the initiative to bring up the topic, the prince would not seize the opportunity and said quickly: "Father, you work hard every day and worry about national affairs. You are really a role model for your children." .My sons and ministers should imitate this, and also want to share their father's worries."
"Oh? What do you want Xin'er to do?" Emperor Qianwen's expression had returned to normal for a moment. If you look carefully, Feidan no longer smiled, but he still looked a little wary.
Emperor Qianwen's desire and value for power is very strong. In addition, he is extremely suspicious and will never allow others to snatch his power while he is still alive. The prince's words of sharing are even more compelling. Be careful, is it because the prince feels that his wings have become stiff and wants to seize power in advance?
Yan Fu, the chief eunuch, had a sharp mind. After hearing the prince's words, he thought something bad was going to happen. He deliberately observed Emperor Qianwen's face, and his whole heart beat rapidly. He didn't know that the prince What is the purpose of coming, but he knows that you can only take what the emperor gives you, and you must not ask for what the emperor does not give you, otherwise it will attract the wrath of thunder.
How did the prince know this? Although he also knew that the current emperor was a person who loved power very much and was good at grabbing power, but what he wanted this time was not power, but the prosperity of the country. In contrast, Emperor Qianwen's Money is not that important to him, which is why he dares to come and ask for it.
"Father, the Daqian Dynasty is shining brightly in the hands of my father. This kind of ability is not available to my son. I just want to share my father's worries in other aspects." He first explained his purpose, not for the purpose. Power came, and then Tang Xin looked up at Emperor Qianwen who was sitting on the dragon throne, thinking about observing his words.
It's not that he wanted power. Emperor Qianwen's mood improved greatly at this moment. There was a smile on his face again, and his words also contained a fatherly and amiable meaning, "Well, Xin'er wants anything, but it doesn't matter."
"Yes." After getting Emperor Qianwen's permission, the prince was also happy. In the past, when his father said this, the matter would be almost settled. Now he was not polite and said his request, "Father Your Majesty, your minister heard about Guochanglong. What can Duke Zhong do? He actually asked for 40% of the profits. If your minister is willing to take over Guochanglong, he will definitely convince Duke Zhong to hand over more profits to the treasury. .”
The prince who said these words had a hidden agenda. He did not say that he would use the money for his own use, but only said that it would be handed over to the treasury. In his opinion, what his father got was the same, or even more, so why not No? What he wants is just the profit in Shen Ao's hands. There is no reason not to hand Guo Changlong into his own hands.
The prince was still talking to himself, not noticing that the emperor's face had become quite ugly at this moment.
The biggest contributor to the success of Guochanglong today is the loyal Duke Shen Ao. Without this person, not to mention making money now, I am afraid it would be good if he could not pay any money. Besides, giving Shen Ao 40% of the profit was not The eldest princess talked about it, and she admitted it, and now she is about to go back on her word when she is making money. What would the people in the world think if they knew about it?
