Poisonous Peasant ‘Concubine’

"Are you sure you want to sell mountain goods?"

In a flash, it came to August, the autumn tigers were still rampant, the weather was so hot that no one wanted to go out, and the auction held by the government was only two days away, but Ling Jingxuan suddenly proposed such an idea, Yan Shengrui and others couldn't help frowning. What he took away, how could he give up and give up?

"All kinds of mountain goods in the southern border are more abundant than in the southern country. Big cousin, are you sure you want to let go? Now we have basically mastered the acquisition and trading of mountain goods, and we don't have to worry about sales. It would be a pity to give up like this."

Every year, the income from the sale of mountain goods is at least one million taels of silver. Rao Zhang Qing couldn't help but feel sorry, remembering that they used to break a penny into two coins for use, and the big cousin said to give up the sale of one million taels Just give up, it's really not something ordinary people can do.

"Well, the profit from the sale of mountain goods is certainly enviable, but after all, we will not stay in the southern border, and hiring people to go door-to-door in the mountains all year round is not a long-term solution. The most important thing is that the southern border needs to develop. More attractive projects are needed to stimulate the passion of the people, and the government will buy and sell mountain goods at a reasonable price. Those who want to buy go directly to the government, and the government will earn some price difference. It will suffer, and the government can be a little richer and do more things for the people, why not do it?"

Ling Jingxuan nodded cautiously. In the future, if his pharmaceutical factory wanted to purchase medicinal materials, he would have to go to the government. Although he had to invest some capital, it would save his heart, right? Of course, this also has drawbacks. If you encounter a corrupt official, I am afraid that it will not be the people of southern Xinjiang who will gain weight, but someone. Therefore, they must be cautious when appointing officials in southern Xinjiang. This is The matter of Xiaoqi is over, and it will not happen in the next few years at least. They can trust Hu Lizhi as a person. In the future, Nanjiang will set up a separate state capital, and then be linked to Nanzhou, and set up a few more official positions to supervise each other. It can be completely avoided. It is impossible for officials not to be greedy at all, as long as it is not too much, it will not bring disaster to the people.

"That's right, although we have collected a lot of money from the Kang family, the construction of the southern border is far from what those money can fill. It is also a good thing for the government to have an extra income."

Yan Shengrui nodded in agreement. Previously, they didn't spend much on building roads and building Hanling College, agricultural reform, etc., only hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and most of the remaining silver went to the national treasury. As for the southern border For the next development, the auction in the next two days will naturally bring them a large amount of money, but the development of a region cannot be solved with a single sum of money, and it requires continuous investment. At least there is a fixed supply, right?

"What about the business line? Are you planning to go out as well?"

Since it was for the common people, they had no reason to object. Zeng Shaoqing turned his attention to the business line. Now that the winery, pharmacy, jam and other production factories in southern Xinjiang and the Baiyun Pavilion production factory have fully started operation, he also got the idea. I plan to open branches of Xinyuan and Baiyun Pavilion in southern Xinjiang. In the future, their goods will be transported through various commercial lines. If they go out all the way, they will not be able to ask for help?

"jiāo, but we can also buy it back with money, Shaoqing, it depends on you and Jingpeng, we have researched a few more powerful business lines for us, and bought them all at auction, but there is a premise, absolutely We can’t have more than three business lines, we will occupy everything that is good, and those businesses will probably be suffocated.”

As far as financial resources are concerned, the wealthy households in southern Xinjiang cannot compete with them. There is no benefit in having more business lines. It can be annoying to manage. They don’t rely on business lines to make money, so there is no need to hold so many in their hands.

"We have our own measure of this, but it's the Jiang family, aren't you afraid that they will take advantage of the situation to take multiple business lines?"

Zeng Shaoqing nodded, his eyes sank again, the four major families now only have the Jiang family, and recently they have been looking for trouble with the Jiang family as planned. right?

"Then they have to have the financial resources!"

Ling Jingxuan curled his lips confidently. He had already agreed with the Yao family and the Tuoba family. As long as the Jiang family participated in the auction, they would carry it with them. Anyway, the government was collecting the money. Who knows if it was collected? If Jiang Jiamao came at all costs, he also welcomed it, and it would undoubtedly be easier to deal with them after emptying their money.

"Okay, since you've made arrangements, Jingpeng and I will just take care of us."

At a glance, I knew what he must have done again. Zeng Shaoqing didn't bother to speculate. Ling Jingpeng next to him smiled and said, "What do we need to worry about, eldest brother? It's Qingzi, I heard that you are going to the South?"

After the business was finished, Ling Jingpeng decisively changed the subject. In the past two or three years, Qingzi has spent more and more time in the southern country. If the elder brother hadn't asked him to help this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to see him.

"Well, someone from Yuanhang has sent a letter. I have to go there. With you here, I don't need to follow the blind and miserable."

Zhang Qing nodded, the word "Yuanhang" was very easy to say, and he didn't even think that he was the emperor of the Southern Kingdom. Is it really good to call him by his first name?

"Is Jun Yuanhang okay?"

Looking at him meaningfully, Ling Jingxuan asked casually, to say that he didn't notice anything, it would be a lie, it's just a matter of the brothers' feelings, he is inconvenient to intervene, and he doesn't bother to ask, but see It seems that they haven't made any movement for two or three years. He is still a little worried. The aunt in the capital is urging him to get married.

"There's nothing wrong. Nanguo is different from Qingguo. Yuanhang was deeply loved by the people before he ascended the throne. While ascending the throne, he vigorously promoted the cultivation of cowpox.

At the same time, he cooperated with us to develop the economy of the southern country. The government, the public and the people are very convinced of him. Even if he has not stood up for a long time, he will not be drafted. The courtiers have a lot of opinions. I also asked him several times why he did not draft. His expression was weird, he looked at me like a ghost, and then I didn't bother to ask. "

As Zhang Qing said, everyone present couldn't help being stunned for a while, and then laughed secretly, seeing how he really didn't know, everyone who had already noticed someone's thoughts couldn't help but mourned for him in their hearts, pitiful Jun Yuanhang, why did you fall in love with such an emotional idiot? Zhang Qing is the same, he is obviously brilliant in business, why is he so sluggish when it comes to emotional problems? They must have been tossing around.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Qing asked in confusion when he noticed their abnormality.

"It's nothing, Qingzi, what do you think of Jun Yuanhang? It's not his political achievements, but his character. Do you think he will be a good husband?"

Clearly coughing to cover up the overflowing spit in his heart, Ling Jingxuan asked seriously, if he wanted to add to the flames, he had to see if their young son had the will, although he personally felt that he fell in love with his monarch. Voyage is pathetic.

"Well, he should be a good husband, right? His children like him very much. He is also a very responsible man. Those who marry him should be happy."

I don't know why, when it came to this topic, Zhang Qing felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart, but he didn't get into it, he just thought it was because he was over-hearted.

"Okay, help me tell Jun Yuanhang, if you need a marriage, you are welcome to come to the capital to find us. By the way, there is a word, sometimes silent protection is not the best confession, when it is time to take action, it is better not to be merciful and to be kind to him. No trace of abnormality escaped Ling Jingxuan's eyes. Instead of letting Qingzi ignore it blindly and finally go back to the capital to find a woman to marry, he still decided to start from his happiness and help them. As for whether they could be together in the end, then It's up to them.

"What guardian shot? What are you talking about, big cousin?"

Zhang Qing blinked his eyes full of confusion, but he was not stupid enough to not know what those words meant, he just didn't think of himself. At the same time, the uncomfortable feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger. "Haha it's nothing, you just need to help me with a message to him."

It's useless to explain to him now. The relationship between the two should be left to themselves. It's his limit to do so much.

"Well, I'm going to leave tomorrow. Big cousin can send a letter to the Nanguo Palace if he has something to do. There are a lot of goods in Nanguo this year. I may not go back to the capital until the end of the year."

The more he talked, the more uncomfortable he became, so Zhang Qing simply gave up. For many years, he had only had business in his mind, and he had long been used to putting aside things that had nothing to do with business.

Ling Jingxuan nodded, and calmly changed his eyes with the others. Everyone couldn't help but sympathize again. Poor Jun Yuanhang was proud in every way, but he was frustrated in love. God is fair enough.
