Empress Dowager Jiang lowered her eyes: "The Ai family wants to imitate Mrs. Su, but I don't know if that's possible."
"Don't worry, Queen Mother. A family as poor as grandma can be in today's situation, and you can do it too." Xiao Qiyu's smile deepened a little.
Queen Mother Jiang sighed: "Others see us as rich and wealthy, but they don't know that we have no way to ask for help."
These words were a bit heartbreaking. The national treasury was too poor, and Xiao Qiyu also had a headache. He whispered: "Grandma is thinking of a way, and she is also working hard to replenish the national treasury for my son."
"Your Majesty is blessed. My mother's private treasury was confiscated and the concubines were sent away. I'm afraid no one will treat the eunuchs as human beings if they are released. Keep them. The maids can leave the palace. Those who stay here voluntarily can be used."
There are many capable people in the palace, and there are even more skilled craftsmen of women's beauties and gold and silver jewelry. The Ai family should open a silver shop in the capital and then an embroidery workshop." Empress Dowager Jiang really began to think about these things.
Xiao Qiyu poured tea for Queen Mother Jiang: "There are seven princesses who have not left the palace, the oldest is twelve years old. These princesses are raised by the mother's side. The prince is handed over to his sons. Since he is the prince of Dayue Kingdom, he should be the prince of Dayue Kingdom."
I don't want to kill them, and they can't enjoy wealth just because their surname is Xiao."
"That's very good." Empress Dowager Jiang felt as if her whole body had come to life. She missed Si Qin even more. Ever since she came back from Huang Er, only today did she feel Huang Er's closeness. Sure enough, Si Qin was right: "Huang Er
Thank you for your hard work, the Ai family couldn't handle it before, which made it difficult for the emperor."
Xiao Qiyu felt sour in his heart when he heard these words, and shook his head: "Mother, if the Jiang family can be honest and do their duty, your sons and ministers will fulfill your filial piety."
"No, the emperor is doing something that the Ai family is convinced of. If you really want to kill him, you have to kill him. One person is less important, and the whole country is more important." Empress Dowager Jiang said sincerely.
This night, Siqin was killed, and it was also this night that mother and son were no longer separated from each other.
If a maid in the palace died, she would be buried quietly. Si Qin set a precedent in the Dai Viet Kingdom, and the emperor personally ordered a grand burial for Si Qin.
Empress Dowager Jiang is in charge of the harem. She has been in the harem all these years. How can she be an ordinary person? The means of purging the harem can be said to be lightning fast. Even if it is a rich and powerful nest, it is a golden bird cage with no freedom. No woman who enters the palace would not want to
After regaining their freedom, getting freedom, and leaving the palace alive, these people all kowtowed in the direction of the Golden Palace to thank the emperor for his great kindness.
Concubines who have children can stay in the palace, but if they make a mistake, they go to guard the imperial mausoleum. Under the rules, no one dares to think wrongly.
All the princes went to the East Palace to learn from Su Qianxiu.
The princesses stayed close to the queen and learned the means to make a living. No matter how arty the music, chess, calligraphy and painting were, it was Empress Dowager Jiang who really learned every detail of the Su family's family management methods.
Xiao Qiyu came to the East Palace as soon as possible to eat and practice with his brothers. Su Qianxiu not only did his best, but also cared about everyone's thoughts. His allegiance was to Xiao Qiyu. If these princes were disobedient,
It is necessary to be cautious and avoid future troubles!
If the palace is not in chaos, the court will be half stable.
"Grandma's letter." Su Qianxiu took it out of his sleeve pocket: "I just received it yesterday."
Xiao Qiyu glanced at the unopened letter and said with a smile: "I don't read the letters grandma wrote to you. They were not written to me."
"It was sent by our spies, not for the emperor? Why not take a gamble, there is not a word here to care for me." Su Qianxiu looked at Xiao Qiyu.
Xiao Qiyu became interested: "Okay! What do you think the lottery is?"
"Lottery?" Su Qianxiu pondered for a moment: "Don't put grandma in front of the stage at any time, okay?"
Xiao Qiyu rolled his eyes at Su Qianxiu. He couldn't hide his thoughts from him. It's a shame that he dared to use this as a lottery ticket! Just wait and lose.
After high-fiving, Xiao Qiyu took out the letter with a knife and carefully took it out, unfolded it and read it carefully, then raised his head and narrowed his eyes to look at Su Qianxiu.
Su Qianxiu handed over the hot tea: "Did you win?"
"You win!" Although Xiao Qiyu was unwilling to give up, there was indeed no word of concern for Su Qianxiu in this letter. Instead, he said every word to himself, making him happy even if he lost.
Su Qianxiu smiled bitterly: "It's heartbreaking to win."
I said this, but I knew very well in my heart that letters from home would never be delivered in this way. Grandma has always been flawless in handling affairs.
"I'm going to find my fourth uncle." Xiao Qiyu took the letter and went out to play. Su Qianxiu looked at Xiao Qiyu who was leaving in a hurry, and wrote a flying pigeon letter to deliver the message to grandma. There was nothing important in the court, so the Queen Mother in the palace could carry it.
Once it's cleared up, grandma's work will be adjusted accordingly.
The Su family only wants to assist the emperor and has no intention of governing the country. This is duty and loyalty.
Chen Yu, who is far away in Huizhou Prefecture, has been very busy recently.
The Chamber of Commerce has been open for more than half a month. The Su family's silk yarn, porcelain and tea have become hot treasures, and the business has reached the point where they can no longer open the door.
The store was sold out. If Chen Yu hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have suspected it was robbed.
Sihai Freight dispatched three fleets to deliver goods to Huizhou, and Chen Yu once again adopted a pre-sale method to cooperate with foreign merchants.
Pan Yuling grew up rapidly, and her accounts were well kept. She knew all the Su family's goods by heart, and received businessmen from other countries every day. After half a month, she became very familiar with it.
The Su family is really busy, and Xiao Ce is so anxious that he is almost beside himself with anxiety, but the glass from the Su family has not yet appeared!
He saw with his own eyes that the glass given to Mrs. Chen as a gift was not just one piece, but a car full of glass. He also said that these could be mounted on the windows, which meant that they would decorate the wedding of Chen Yichuan and Fu Niang.
Used house.
Xiao Ce thought it was more valuable than salt, but the Su family refused to take out the glass, so naturally there was no price to refer to.
Just say, who can bear to hold it in like this?
Unfortunately, Xiao Ce couldn't ask yet.
Three convoys kept delivering goods to Huizhou Prefecture, and foreign merchants placed orders in batches at Su's house. Even so, they were busy for a full month. When they had some free time, Chen Yu took Pan Yuling out to go shopping, mainly looking at Liuli.
In addition to glass beads, there are also some utensils whose workmanship is much more refined than three years ago. Colorful glass is more difficult to craft, but in terms of practicality, the Su family's glass is the product that can make a lot of money.
"Mrs. Su, I have a set of glazed bottles here. Take a look." The dark-skinned foreign businessman tried his best to sell the goods he brought: "These glazed bottles of mine are treasures. Although the price is higher, they are worth the money.
."
Chen Yu looked at the glazed products of various colors placed in front of him and raised his head: "Are you willing to stay in Dai Viet for three years? I will give you ten thousand taels of silver in three years."
The foreign businessman was stunned.
Just when he was about to refuse, Chen Yu said: "Or leave a craftsman who can make the glazed statue. I will give you eight thousand taels of silver in three years, and I will return the person to you after three years."
"This..." is so tempting.
The main reason is that no one cares about my treasures. At most, someone buys two glass beads as a rarity.
Chen Yu folded his hands in front of him: "If you are willing, I can take a step to speak. If you still need to think about it, then go to Tongfu Tower in three days."
Seeing that Chen Yu was about to leave, the businessman from Fanbang hurriedly said: "Mrs. Su, can you take this glass bottle with you?"
"Thirty taels?" Chen Yu asked.
The foreign businessman quickly waved his hand: "It's three hundred taels, three hundred taels."
Chen Yu raised her lips and smiled: "In my eyes, this is not valuable."
The leader, Pan Yuling, walked forward, leaving the big black man with a blank look on his face, squatting on the ground in annoyance, thirty taels was not enough, why did he say three hundred taels!
No! Mrs. Su said it was worthless? Is this why no one cares about it in Dai Viet?
