As a businessman for generations, Zhang Youcai knew very well that as long as he sent one of his children into an official career, even if he had to break up the relationship, he would be worthy of his ancestors in the future.
Moreover, due to the collusion between officials and businessmen, businessmen have been on the alert of the imperial court since ancient times. Some wealthy businessmen with huge wealth may still have the opportunity to rely on wealthy families and obtain official opportunities. Small businessmen like him have never thought about it.
Now that he got such an opportunity, he naturally had to seize it immediately. Although the prince said so, Zhang Youcai also knew himself. Just because his children could enter the official career, His Highness the prince had given enough rewards. This kind of kindness will be repaid with my own life in the future.
After taking a long breath, Zhang Youcai cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, no matter whether it is a sword or a sea of fire, as long as His Highness gives an order, the entire Zhang family will never frown!"
It can be seen that although Zhang Youcai is very excited at the moment, his words are very weighty.
Smiling and nodding, Li Xian returned to his chair and sat down. He then took out a plan he had prepared from the table and motioned to Li Xian to hand it to Zhang Youcai.
After Zhang Youcai took it, he opened it and read it, while he couldn't help but nod frequently.
He has read more than one of the same planning documents. No matter what the content was, he was surprised by the talents displayed by His Royal Highness. Because this planning document not only marked the process, but also prepared more than one alternative plan.
To be honest, it is not easy to work under His Royal Highness. With such a planning document, you only need to follow the guidelines, and the rest is a matter of details. And if he couldn't even handle these small details well, he wouldn't have the face to continue to stay under the command of His Highness the Crown Prince.
Zhang Youcai was still reading. Outside the door, Shangguan Wan'er came in and reported, "Your Highness, this slave's mother wishes to see you."
"come in."
Soon, Shangguan also walked in.
Seeing Zhang Youcai who was already reading the planning book, she hurriedly saluted and said, "I'm late, please forgive me, Your Highness."
"Forgive me, look at this."
He picked up another planning book from the table and handed it to Li Yun. Li Xian poured a cup of tea and waited quietly for the two people's replies.
After a while, Zhang Youcai finished reading. After closing the book, he did not speak, but waited for Shangguan to finish reading.
Finally, after Shangguan had finished reading, Zhang Youcai saluted and said, "Your Highness, looking at your plan, it seems that this kind of auction will be maintained?"
"That's right, good things have always been traded privately. Buyers and sellers are willing to fight and others are willing to accept it. But after the establishment of the auction house, as long as there is competition, the selling price of the goods will not be certain. This time it coincides with Supporting the national treasury can also make our auction house an instant success. As long as the auction house continues to be opened, we do not need too much investment, but the commission will be a considerable profit."
Zhang Youcai nodded, thought for a moment, and then took a step back.
Seeing that Zhang Youcai had no problem, Shangguan asked: "Your Highness, shopkeeper Zhang is in charge of nobles, and I'm in charge of ordinary people and wealthy businessmen at the auction house. There are no big problems on shopkeeper Zhang's side, it's just on my side that I encountered There are too many people and things, when the time comes, how should I choose to be my concubine?"
Although Shangguan didn't say it directly, Li Xian knew exactly what she meant.
Unlike Zhang Youcai's place, Sihai Tower received all kinds of people. If Sihai Tower also opened an auction house, some people would come over to "sell the stolen goods".
If you think about it from a normal perspective, it’s okay to have a little bit of “hei” in the property of Tangtang East Palace. However, Li Xian knew very well that if he wanted to continue his business for a long time, he had to do it right.
Putting down the tea cup, Li Xiandao: "Although there are some opportunities to make money, I don't want Sihai Tower to be involved. Zhang Youcai, you must also remember that Gu's industry must be done correctly and withstand the test of everyone." OK."
Upon hearing these words, Shangguanshi and Zhang Youcai both bowed and accepted the order. They knew very well that this was an instruction from His Highness the Crown Prince. Although his tone was calm, it was a red line they could not cross.
"Go down and get ready. I guess I can fill up the treasury by 30 to 40% this time. For an event, it's pretty good."
If anyone else had said such words, Zhang Youcai and the Shangguan family would definitely have scoffed. After all, it was the treasury, not a farmer's small warehouse. But it was the prince who said this, so they believed it without reservation.
"My subordinate understands."
After agreeing, the two people turned and left. Compared with Guan Shi's back, Zhang Youcai's back was much more excited and excited.
Those in power must not only ensure their own interests, but also create interests for their subordinates from time to time. For Zhang Youcai, just the fact that a child could become an official was enough to make him grateful, and he even died for it.
Breaking the class barrier is just a trivial matter for Li Xian, but for people like Zhang Youcai, it is something that they dare not even think about.
After drinking the last bit of tea in the cup, Li Xian stood up and twisted his waist, deciding to go back to accompany his wife.
Unlike the younger daughters-in-law of later generations who act coquettishly as soon as they get pregnant and have to be accompanied by their husbands, Fang has always been quiet, and occasionally drives her husband to live elsewhere after he has been with her for too long.
It's really troublesome to sleep with Fang, because she always has to get up at night. However, it is heartbreaking for a husband and wife to care about these things. When his wife is pregnant, the husband, as the initiator, has to take responsibility. Although he cannot share anything, he can at least accompany him. Many animals in nature are like this, and humans have to do it no matter what.
In ancient times, people were able to realize the evil wishes of several wives openly, but Li Xian did not want to be truly assimilated into the ancient atmosphere. If you don’t even care about your daughters-in-law, and only use them as tools for reproduction, and in the end you don’t even have a warm “home”, then what if you reach the pinnacle of human society and control the wind and rain?
After taking a bath and drying off, Li Xian was about to enter Fang's palace when he saw that several palace ladies had blocked the entrance to the palace.
Before he could get close, a palace maid trotted over with a mournful face and saluted: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess ordered the servant to tell you that she has gone to bed. Just come back tomorrow. You can spend the night in another Liangdi Palace today. "
"Um?"
Although she has experienced something like this, she hasn't seen her for several days since Qiu Lie. Why is this woman still pushing herself away?
After taking a look at these palace maids, Li Xian thought about it and changed his itinerary.
If he insists on going in, let alone these palace maids, Fang is not qualified to refuse. But since she had arranged it this way, there was no need for her to refute it.
....
The above is all nonsense. In fact, he has been feeling very uncomfortable with holding back these days. The pregnant woman can't take care of it, so someone else should take care of it.
