Yang Xuan suddenly realized that he was mentally mature, but Lu Jing was at the age when he first started to fall in love. During this time, he hung out with him all day long, and they were similar in age, so it was inevitable that some emotions would be mixed in.
But Yang Xuan really regards Lu Jing as his sister.
What His Royal Highness Prince Chun means now is that Lu Jing has reached the age to get married. If you want her, then she will be married to someone else.
Yang Xuan wanted to say no, but he couldn't bear the thought of his little sister getting married at such a young age, so he said yes, but he really didn't have that kind of feeling.
"But if a man marries a woman, you should also ask the woman's opinion."
His Highness King Chun said: "I asked yesterday, and although Lu Jing did not agree, she did not object. If it was not for you, she would naturally object."
"..."
Yang Xuan thought for a while again: "Hypothesis, it is purely a hypothesis. Is there a possibility that I will accept it first, and then delay it for a few years. When I accept it, I will say that my sister and I are not compatible, and then forget about it.
.”
His Royal Highness Prince Chun was angry: "You can't marry me as my sister? If you want to, then do it. If you don't want to, don't force me. Why do you have to be so mother-in-law?"
"But this important matter of marriage must be discussed with the family."
Yang Xuan is good at business, but he really has no experience in this matter. He wants to think of a way to delay it, but he has no parents.
Then he looked at Yang Xiao beside him.
When Yang Xiao saw his look for help, he immediately looked up at the sky, as if there was something special to see on the roof.
The eldest brother has changed. After a trip to Youzhou Mansion, he became cunning and not as kind as before.
Seeing that Yang Xuan was still fussing, His Royal Highness Prince Chun was furious and slapped the table: "As long as you can do it, you can do it, and if you don't do it, you can't do it. Why bother to be pretentious and say something nice?"
Yang Xuan had experienced many business negotiations, and even when he faced His Majesty the Emperor a few days ago, he had never been so at a loss as to whether he could make up his mind.
Now being provoked by His Highness King Chun, he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "That's fine, I'll marry you."
"Hey... that's right." The anger on His Highness Prince Chun's face instantly turned into joy, he clapped his hands and laughed, "Hahaha, you promised, you can't go back on it."
"Wood grass?"
Yang Xuan was shocked, and then he realized that he had been plotted by His Highness the Spring Festival Gala.
His Royal Highness Prince Chun was also very proud. Yang Xuan had always been confident in front of him. He had always done whatever Yang Xuan said, but he didn't expect that Yang Xuan was plotted against him today. He felt so happy.
However, Yang Xuan was not so calculating, and he immediately began to put additional conditions: "I, Yang Xuan, will do what I say and will never go back on my words. However, I have a condition, that is, I will not be a consort, but will marry my younger sister to Yang Xuan."
Mansion."
His Royal Highness Prince Chun was immediately startled. The princess always married a consort, which was basically equivalent to a wife. When was there any precedent for marrying into another person's house?
But just as he was about to retort, Yang Xuan spoke first: "You see, a prince-in-law cannot serve as an official in the court. His Majesty the Emperor only granted him the title of Bachelor of the Cabinet. If I resign, I would be disrespectful to the Emperor."
His Royal Highness Prince Chun was confused. It seemed that this was really the case. However, other princesses were all married to princes-in-law, but his own sister was marrying into another family. This was too shameless. Where should the royal family put its face?
He was about to speak after hesitating, but Yang Xuan spoke first again: "I know what you are worried about, but I can promise you that if your sister marries into the Yang family, I will definitely give you enough face and arrange an extraordinary wedding.
Let everyone only envy you and not look down on your sister."
"So confident?"
“When have I ever done something I wasn’t sure about?”
Although Yang Xuan has always done things in an orderly manner, His Highness Prince Chun really couldn't think of any tricks to play in this matter. He simply threw the blame directly to His Majesty the Emperor: "Then I don't care, as long as you can persuade
My father, if he agrees, I have no objection."
Are you using His Majesty the Emperor to oppress me?
Yang Xuan snorted coldly and said: "Don't worry, when the time comes, not only His Majesty the Emperor will have no objection, I will make sure that no one in the world can find fault."
"Then I'll wait and see. Anyway, you can't treat my sister badly." His Highness Prince Chun threatened with a fierce expression: "Otherwise... humph."
I don’t know what His Highness Prince Chun told Lu Jing when he went back. Anyway, from that day on, Lu Jing no longer followed him like Little Tails. Maybe she was shy.
But Yang Xuan didn't have time to think so much. After all, there were more and more things happening and he started to get busy.
The agreement for the seven branches of Shengfa Department Store has been finalized. The seven shopkeepers are about to leave Beijing and return to their hometowns. The branches will also begin to enter the preparation stage. Although Yang Xuan does not need to rush around, many things need to be drawn up by him personally.
In addition, there is another thing that needs to be dealt with urgently, and that is logistics.
The strength of Shengfa Department Store lies in its low prices and complete range of goods.
Transportation was underdeveloped in the Dasheng Dynasty, and even the official roads were not smooth, so the means of transportation needed to be innovated.
The means of transportation is nothing more than a carriage. If you want to increase the carrying capacity of the carriage, you need a four-wheel carriage. The design of the four-wheel carriage has been completed, and samples have even been produced.
However, due to the material, this four-wheeled carriage is not strong. Let alone a long journey of thousands of miles, if it is really operated at full load, it may fall apart within a hundred miles.
Social progress is inseparable from the development of technology, but the development of technology still requires accumulation.
The research and development of horse carriages is going smoothly, and the research and development of steel includes glazed kilns, but at this scale, it is not known that it can be successfully developed in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
Therefore, this matter needs to be increased in scale and accelerated in research and development.
After some planning, Yang Xuan prepared to set up a research and development department in Shengfa Company.
The personnel responsible for research and development at Shunfengxing and Liulicao will be merged into this department.
At the board meeting, the representatives of the directors were all undecided when they heard that Yang Xuan wanted to build a research and development department and said that this research and development department was a money-burning thing.
Yang Xuan simply waved his hand and said that next time the board of directors would invite the directors to attend in person, he would not have time to wait for them to pass the news to the directors and then come to meet with him again. This would be a waste of time.
This time Yang Xuan became furious and took the title of cabinet bachelor, which shocked all these representatives.
As a result, the board of directors of Shengfa Company was actually held, with all directors present in person.
The meeting place was at Prince Hui's residence.
Three days in advance, the Police Department spread rumors throughout the city, and the patrol routes and shifts of the Five City Soldiers and Horses Division tripled.
On the other hand, the front door of Prince Hui's Mansion remained as usual, looking no different from usual.
However, one hundred of the most elite Jinwu Guards have been stationed in the palace, and the other Jinwu Guards are also on standby.
When Yang Xuan first walked into Prince Hui's Mansion, he was startled by the solemn atmosphere of the Jinwu Guards.
It's just a board meeting, is it necessary to have such a big battle?
