Qi Yuning was helpless, as his brother was really childish.
Even if the side door is sealed, there is no other way to go.
Qi Yu'an took Lingling to ride horses. Qi Yuning sorted out the account books and went to find A Ping in Qi Yu'an's courtyard.
A Ping is sewing small clothes.
Qi Yuning saw the little clothes and said, "What exquisite little clothes, but why are they all for girls?"
"I want to have a daughter as cute and well-behaved as Lingling."
A Ping carefully sewed the little clothes.
Qi Yuning thought that A Ping would be lost eventually, but these little clothes would be cheap in the future.
Qi Yuning handed the three brochures to A Ping and said, "These shops are the property of our Qi family. The Qi family has properties all over Dasheng. Do you know about the Medical Support Center?"
A Ping nodded and said: "I know, it's the largest pharmacy in Dasheng."
Qi Yuning said: "This medical support clinic is the property of the Qi family. There are fifty-nine branches in Dasheng. In addition to opening a medical clinic, the medical support clinic also does herbal medicine business. Before he died, my grandfather felt that he should control the medicine. In your hands, entrusted to you.
The general manager of the medical support center is Aunt Yueya. Aunt Yueya is getting older. Now the managers of the medical care center are Shuang Jiang and Xiaoxue. These two people are not often in Beijing and always go to various places to check on the medical care center. "
Qi Yuning opened the booklet and said: "The front of this booklet records the storekeepers of various medical aid clinics. These are the eighteen herbal medicine shops of the medical aid clinics, ranging from Ganoderma lucidum Island in the east, Baishan in the north, Lingnan in the south, and Lingnan in the west. As far as Beicheng, there are medicine shops."
A Ping said in surprise: "So many!"
Qi Yuning opened the booklet and said, "Also, these are the Qi family's grain stores and villages. There are a total of 138 stores, 320 farms, and 10,000 hectares of cultivated land."
A Ping said in shock: "How much? Princess, did you tell me it was 10,000 acres?"
"No, just ten thousand hectares."
Qi Yuning sighed: "How can ten thousand acres of land be enough to support so many Qi family troops? There is little arable land to cultivate food in Beicheng. The more than two hundred thousand Qi family soldiers have to live on these ten thousand acres of food. Although the imperial court will also We provide military rations, but after all, they are the worst. Beicheng is very difficult, and we cannot let the soldiers suffer no matter what."
Qi Yuning added: "This is our tea business in Minzhou. This tea is hugely profitable. It is only because of these teas that are sold overseas and to various countries in the Western Regions that the Qi family can become rich. The person in charge of business in the outer border is Kong Li..."
A Ping saw the brochure that Qi Yuning showed her. The Qi family's property recorded in it was already as rich as any country in the world. "The Qi family is so wealthy."
"Although the Qi family is extremely wealthy, it also has a lot of expenses. Soldiers are not so easy to raise."
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "I have rarely had any free time since I took over the family business, but now it's better. Sister-in-law, you are here. You can take over the important responsibilities of the Qi family's business."
A Ping was extremely surprised and said: "Shall I take it?"
Qi Yuning said: "You are the mistress of the Qi family, so naturally I want you to take over."
A Ping held her belly, pursed her lips and said, "Princess, I really can't take over such a huge family business. I don't have the ability."
A Ping knew that the palace was wealthy, but she never thought that the family fortune of the palace was almost as big as that of a small country. It was no exaggeration to say that the palace was as rich as a country.
"Mother, dear! Auntie!"
Lingling entered the house, holding a riding crop in her hand and said: "Dear mother, Lingling can ride a horse!"
Qi Yuning chuckled and touched Lingling's head.
Qi Yu'an entered and saw three thick books. He looked at A Ping with a bad expression. He stepped forward and asked, "This is it?"
Qi Yuning said: "As my sister-in-law joins the family, our family's property will be handed over to her. After all, I can no longer take care of my mother's family's account books after I get married."
Qi Yuan frowned and said: "You are also the daughter of the Qi family after you get married. Why can't you control it? Ah Ping doesn't know a few Chinese characters. It won't be possible for her to take over the entire Qi family's industry in seven or eight years. Or you?" Just keep taking care of it.”
Qi Yuning said: "How can it be reasonable for a married daughter to still take care of her parents' account books?"
Qi Yu'an said: "There is no reason for an unmarried daughter to stay away all night, didn't you do it too? This account book, A Ping, is not suitable to be managed. She is too squeamish and cannot suppress the people below, but you are used to it. "
A Ping also said: "Princess, I am stupid and can't learn to keep accounts. You should continue to take care of this account. We are all a family. When you marry, you are not an outsider or a family member. Since we are all family members, whoever takes care of the accounts can do it." it's the same."
A Ping didn't have any ambitions. Looking at the property in the book, if there were only a dozen shops, a dozen villages, and several thousand acres of land, she might take over it.
But this is tens of thousands of hectares of cultivated land, and Shancheng County only has ten thousand hectares of cultivated land. There is really nothing she can do.
Qi Yuning looked at Qi Yuan and said, "Okay, I'll take care of the family business first. Let me know when you want to take it back."
Qi Yu'an said: "Just keep in charge."
Qi Yuning looked at Lingling beside him and said: "In this case, there will be no time to accompany Lingling. Lingling's parents can't be with her during the day, and they can't be together with her at night. How pitiful. "
Lingling threw herself into Qi Yuning's arms, "Oh."
Qi Yu'an said: "I asked someone to open the side door. Lingling's father can still come and stay with Lingling at night."
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "Thank you, brother."
"Uncle is so nice!" Lingling raised her eyes and smiled at Qi Yu'an, her eyebrows curved into crescent moons, "Lingling likes uncle!"
Qi Yuan hugged Lingling and said, "Daddy or uncle, who does Lingling like more?"
"I like Daddy!" Lingling said with a slight smile.
A Ping said softly: "Your Majesty, children always like their parents."
Qi Yu'an thought about what Lingling said earlier in the morning that his cousin said something bad about his father. He couldn't help but look at A Ping's belly. After he was born, he would have to treat him better.
…
In the East Palace.
Uncle Qin took his eldest son Qin Han and fifth son Qin Zhen to Zhao Chong to discuss matters.
Zhao Chong served tea to Uncle Qin and said, "Uncle, eldest cousin, and fifth cousin, please have some tea."
Uncle Qin said: "I heard from the queen that you want the granddaughter of Taifu Song's family to be the crown princess?"
Zhao Chong responded: "Yes."
Uncle Qin frowned and said: "Aren't you just kidding? The Song family is powerless now. It would be better if the old master was still alive. After the people leave, the Song family is nothing now. You You cannot marry a daughter of the Song family as the crown prince."
Zhao Chongdao: "Isn't this just what my uncle wanted? My uncle doesn't allow me to marry Princess Qi because he is afraid that the relatives of the Qi family will dominate. Now I only marry the daughter of the declining Song family, isn't it good?"
"Of course not!" Uncle Qin said.
Zhao Chongdao: "Uncle, I have decided to be alone. My father and mother have also decided that Song Heqing will be the crown prince."
Zhao Chong knew that Song Heqing and Qi Yuning were close. If Qi Yuning really became Lu Ze's wife, she would be his nephew-in-law, and he would not be able to look at her again in the future.
But Song Heqing and Qi Yuning are good friends, and they will definitely have more contact with each other even after they get married.
He could also take a few more glances at Qi Yuning.
Qin Zhendao: "Aren't you just fooling around? Are you as crazy as Qi Yu'an? He wants to marry an orphan from the mountains as his wife, while you marry a daughter of a declining official family."
Zhao Chongdao: "The decree has been made."
Uncle Qin frowned and said: "It's true that the decree cannot be changed. The old emperor is gone, and your marriage will be decided by you. Removing the King of Shu from the Qi family has done us a big favor! I heard that the imperial doctor said that the old emperor's body and bones have been damaged recently. not good?"
Zhao Chong didn't like Uncle Qin's disrespect for Emperor Shi Yuan, "Uncle, do you know that this title is disrespectful? After all, the eldest brother is the eldest son of his father. The eldest son made such a big mistake. He felt guilty and sad. , it’s inevitable to feel depressed.”
Uncle Qin said coldly: "Since the old emperor loves his eldest son so much, why not go and accompany his eldest son as soon as possible!"
"Uncle!" Zhao Chong said repeatedly.
Qin Han said: "Your Highness, your eldest cousin-in-law's revenge must be avenged! Yu Li is crying every day now, and the Qi family has His Majesty protecting her, so it is difficult to avenge her.
Only when the old emperor dies and you ascend the throne can you get rid of the Qi family and avenge your eldest cousin, and we will no longer be oppressed by the Qi family! "
Zhao Chongdao: "Get rid of the Qi family? How easy is it?"
Uncle Qin said: "Chong'er, how can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed? If the Qi family is not eliminated, your future will not be stable. Now that the king of Shu has been eliminated, it is a good time for you to ascend the throne and get rid of the Qi family." "
Zhao Chong shook his head and said: "The Qi family is loyal and my father has a long and prosperous life. My uncle should be careful what he says."
…
As soon as Lu Ze returned to the princess's mansion, he turned around and went to the prince's mansion.
In Chunjiang Garden, Lingling was feeding the little koi in the courtyard, and Qi Yuning was reading the account book at the window. It was a quiet time.
Lu Ze walked up to Qi Yuning and said, "The candidate for the Crown Princess has been decided internally."
Qi Yuning raised his eyes and looked at Lu Ze and said, "I thought the King of Shu had just left, so the matter of the Crown Princess would have to be delayed to some extent?"
Lu Zedao: "The King of Shu has brought a stain on the royal family. Your Majesty naturally does not want to talk too much about the King of Shu's collaboration with the enemy and treason. Only the news of the prince's wedding can overcome the royal scandal of the King of Shu's collaboration with the enemy."
Qi Yuning raised her eyes and asked, "Who is the Crown Princess?"
"you guess?"
Qi Yuning looked into Lu Ze's eyes and said, "He Qing?"
