Chapter 635 Don't Underestimate Her
Chen Dachang is listening to the report of his subordinates.
"Outside that house, secret sentries were set up, all of them are vicious people. We didn't dare to approach."
"And the secret whistle?"
"Exactly!"
Chen Dachang's interest increased greatly, "Is she relying on someone now? Those secret whistles, have you ever seen the way out?"
"Look at the people who are begging for life at the edge of a knife, and there are many lives in their hands."
Chen Dachang smiled, "This woman is really not easy. Gai Minger has to find a way to meet her."
"Why don't you post directly?" Someone suggested.
Chen Dachang waved his hand, "Don't worry about her for now. The most important thing now is the negotiation with the Jiangnan Textile Chamber of Commerce. When is the time set?"
"The tentative time is the first day of February."
"This group of people is really planning to finish the first month before discussing serious business."
Chen Dachang looked out of the window, and the lanterns of different shapes had been lit, which was really beautiful.
He laughed, "They are not in a hurry, and our family is even less in a hurry. At the end of the month, a batch of cotton cloth will be sent to the south of the Yangtze River. If it goes to the market, those people will know how powerful it is."
"I don't know how much cotton cloth will be sent?"
Chen Dachang smiled and said: "Our family received a letter from Mrs. Zhao, saying that there is a warehouse of cotton cloth that will be transported to the south of the Yangtze River by boat on the canal in Luozhou. Our family does not know exactly how much a warehouse is. I guess it should not be. few."
"A warehouse? There are so many."
Chen Dachang looked at the guy who spoke up, "Do you know how much inventory there is in a warehouse?"
The clerk bowed and said, "I would like to report to the chief manager, the young one used to work in the textile workshop in the capital. If the warehouse mentioned by Madam refers to the warehouse of the textile workshop, then the inventory of a warehouse is about 100,000 pieces of cotton cloth. "
"One hundred thousand horses, so much?" Chen Dachang raised his eyebrows.
"With 100,000 bolts of cotton cloth hitting the market, the people in Jiangnan Textile Workshop should be in a hurry."
Chen Dachang laughed, "It's better to be anxious. Make an appointment for our family to meet with Chief Manager Rong. There are some things that our family should have a good talk with him."
The Manager Rongda that Chen Dachang said,
It was Rong Xin.
Rong Xin is Gu Jiu's confidant in Jiangnan.
Chen Dachang pondered, Jiang Yan's appearance in Jiangnan was definitely not a coincidence.
Others may not know about this, but Rong Xin should know something.
After all, Rong Xin has been operating in Jiangnan for so many years, and his personal connections have been established.
A person who looks exactly like Jiang Shuyi came to the city, but she couldn't believe that Rongxin didn't get any news.
The lanterns are gone.
Chen Dachang went to see Rong Xin overnight.
First of all, we exchanged pleasantries, talking about a lot of things about the capital.
Seeing that Rong Xin was not up to the trick, Chen Dachang straight to the point and said: "Today, I went out to join in the fun and watch the lanterns, and I saw a very familiar person in the market. Eunuch Rong, guess who our family saw?"
Rong Xin raised his eyebrows, "I don't know! Please tell Eunuch Chen clearly."
Chen Dachang smiled, gestured, and said softly: "Our family saw Jiang Shuyi."
Rong Xin frowned, obviously surprised.
Chen Dachang tapped on the table, "Are you surprised? Our family is also very surprised. Jiang Shuyi who was next to the late emperor, if I remember correctly, has already been buried with death.
You said how could she appear in Jiangnan and watch lanterns at the market.
Seeing that she was escorted by a maidservant, she thought she was doing well. It's just that she's a girl, and she's hiding her name. Who will protect her? "
Rong Xin rolled his eyelids, "Could Eunuch Chen be suspicious of me? I don't have the ability to protect the beloved concubine who was ordered to die by the first emperor."
Chen Dachang smiled implicitly, "Eunuch Rong misunderstood, so our family naturally did not suspect you. You and I are both servants of the royal family, and we both obey orders. We are not capable, but the master above may not be able to do it."
Rong Xin was expressionless, "I don't know about this matter, Eunuch Chen asked the wrong person."
Chen Dachang looked at Rong Xin with a half-smile.
Rong Xin looked calm, "I'm doing things for my wife, and I only care about business and shipbuilding. I don't ask about other things."
Chen Dachang smiled knowingly, "Our family understands, thank you, Eunuch Rong, for telling the truth."
Rong Xin served tea to see off the guests, "It's getting late, so we won't keep Eunuch Chen in our family."
Chen Dachang stood up, cupped his hands, "Farewell!"
He didn't need anyone to send him off, so he went straight out the door.
The godson came up to him, "Chairman, did Rong Xin say anything?"
Chen Dachang laughed, "He didn't say anything, it means he said everything. Jiang Shuyi was obviously not brought here by Mrs. Zhao, it is very likely that His Royal Highness the First Prince secretly arranged a useless chess game.
The biggest assets of this woman surnamed Jiang are her face and her body. His Royal Highness sent her to the south of the Yangtze River, so naturally it is impossible to raise her for nothing. Find out who Jiang Shuyi's current man is, the key may be her man. "
"The chief executive thinks Jiang Shuyi has another man?"
"Without a man to support her, how can she wear gold and silver. Send someone to investigate slowly, don't startle the snake."
"Son obeys!"
...
Time to enter February.
At the northwest border, the cold wind howled, bitingly cold.
In the camp of the Chinese army, a game of chess is going on in the signing room.
The person who played chess face to face with Luhou was the young monk Wuwang Master.
Marquis Lu stroked his beard and casually dropped a son, "Master has been in the northwest for a year now."
"Master Hou remembers correctly, it has been a year."
Lu Hou looked up at him, and asked with a half-smile, "Is there any gain?"
Master Wuwang looked calm, and gently dropped a white stone, "I have gained a lot."
"Oh? Let's hear it, Ben Hou really wants to know what the master has gained."
The hopeless eminent monk calmly reminded Lu Hou, "Your Majesty should have a son."
"No rush. Master, let me tell you about your harvest first."
Lu Hou played with a sunspot, but he was not in a hurry to land it on the chessboard.
Master Wuwang has a majestic appearance and the demeanor of an eminent monk.
He opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty has a good command of the army, and the Northwest is as solid as gold under his rule. Neither Beirong nor Xiliang can advance an inch. The Northwest cannot be separated from the Marquis, but the Marquis cannot be separated from the Northwest either. Lord Hou is fifty, it is still unknown whether he will be able to bury his bones in the northwest in this life."
Lu Hou laughed loudly, "Hahaha... You bald donkey, that is, you dare to speak nonsense in front of Ben Hou. That kid Liu Zhao is really good at picking people. If it was someone else, Ben Hou was furious, The person was slaughtered long ago. The head was wrapped in lime and sent back to Liu Zhao. You bastard bastard, if you don’t do business all day, you know how to send spies to this Marquis.”
Master Wuwang reminded: "It's time for the Marquis to have a son."
Snapped!
A sunspot landed heavily on the chessboard, "How can the master break this move?"
Master Wuwang looked calm, held the white piece in his hand, pondered for a while, and easily broke the chess game.
Lu Hou looked at the chessboard, stroked his beard and nodded, "It's kind of interesting. Ben Hou can be regarded as a man of real ability when he sees the master, why bother to work for that bastard bastard Liu Zhao. Why don't you work for Ben Hou, and Ben Hou pays for it? How about helping you build the most magnificent temple in the northwest?"
Master Wuwang shook his head slightly, "Since the fate has been given to His Royal Highness, the poor monk does not plan to change someone."
Lu Hou sneered, "I really can't tell, you bald donkey is still a loyal minister. You go back and tell Liu Zhao to rest his mind and follow the old rules. If he doesn't come to provoke Ben Hou, naturally Ben Hou won't." will get him into trouble."
Master Wuwang looked at Marquis Lu, "Your Majesty doesn't want to support His Highness the First Prince, does he plan to support His Royal Highness other Princes?"
Ah!
Marquis Lu sneered, "Which one of those princes who have no hair is worthy of my support?"
"But Lord Hou, don't forget, one emperor and one courtier. Your Majesty will not trust you like the previous emperor. When he is full-fledged and believes that he is in control of the military, he will definitely attack the Northwest Camp. At that time, Lord Hou will be in Without assistance from the DPRK and China, this hurdle will be difficult.”
Lu Hou laughed loudly, "You bald donkey, you can scare people. My emperor's brother-in-law was born a bastard and a hooligan, with no good points in his body, it can be said that he has no merits at all.
However, in Benhou's eyes, he still has another saving grace, and that is self-knowledge. Why don't we take a gamble, within five years, no, within eight years, my emperor's brother-in-law will not dare to touch a hair in the northwest.
Now the entire northern frontier, only the northwest line can hold. Look at the front line of the Northeast, it is almost smashed into a sieve. If it wasn't for the fact that Bei Rong's strength had been greatly weakened, he might have fought in long ago. "
Master Wuwang asked softly: "Eight years later, what will happen to Lord Hou? Return to Beijing and die?"
"You, a bald donkey, don't need to worry about Benhou's affairs. But you, a bald donkey, are determined to work for Liu Zhao. What benefits did he promise you? Or is he more worthy of following than Benhou?"
Lu Hou was a little bit tasteful and a little upset.
Liu Zhao's brat, how can he be able to make Wuwang follow him with all his heart.
He looked at Liu Zhao, he had no other merits other than being more courageous.
Did he miss it?
Master Wuwang clasped his hands together and said the Buddha's name, "In the eyes of the poor monk, His Royal Highness has all the shortcomings of the Liu family, which is really unsightly."
"Hahaha... Your words are in line with Benhou's wishes, and Benhou likes it. That kid Liu Zhao is indeed not a joke, he is very dark. You are obviously dissatisfied with Liu Zhao. Could it be that you have secretly taken refuge with other princes?"
Lu Hou asked curiously.
Master Wuwang shook his head slightly, "In the eyes of the poor monk, the other princes also have the shortcomings of the Liu family, and they have nothing to recommend them."
"Oh! This is very interesting. Everyone is not pleasing to the eye, but you still want to help Liu Zhao, what are you trying to do?" Lu Hou sneered, "Are you short of money? How much do you want? This Marquis can give it to you."
Master Wuwang raised his eyelids, "But the eldest prince has one advantage that others don't have, and that no one else can match."
"What advantages? Come on, tell me, Ben Hou is very curious." Lu Hou laughed and urged. Quan pretended that this was small talk and did not involve the struggle for royal rights.
Master Wuwang smiled and said softly: "His Royal Highness is very lucky. He has a unique vision and married a good wife. The poor monk was fortunate to meet Mrs. Zhao once. She is a rare person in the royal family with a sincere heart and a real ability." With her here, the path of His Highness the First Prince will not turn around halfway."
cut!
Lu Hou looked disdainful, "A woman, even if she has the ability, so what? She won't be able to ascend the court."
Master Wuwang laughed, "A woman trapped in the inner house is indeed irrelevant to the overall situation. But when a woman walks out of the inner house with real skills and enters the court's view, is she still an ordinary inner house woman?
What does it mean for a woman to have a place in the imperial court even though she has no official position? It means that she has worked ten times harder than a man to get what she is today. It means that she is stronger than 99% of the men in the world.
She is not in the court, but she really affects all aspects of the court, and even affects His Majesty's decision.
Master Hou, don't underestimate her. Look at the cashmere workshops in the city, and the courier stations outside the barracks, all of which are made by her. Although Hou Ye has never dealt with her, but there is her shadow everywhere around him.
The poor monk heard that the government will vigorously promote sweet potatoes in the Northwest. It is said that the yield of sweet potatoes per mu is extremely high, the yield per mu of good land can reach 1,000 catties, and the yield of barren land can also reach 500 catties per mu. This sweet potato seed, if the poor monk remembers correctly, was also presented by Mrs. Zhao.
The poor monk advised Lord Hou not to underestimate her. Anyone who underestimates her will pay a heavy price, and Princess Chaoyang has learned a lesson from the past.
The poor monk can even boldly predict that it won't be long before Madam Zhao's influence will penetrate deep into the Northwest Camp, and she will deeply influence every aspect from food, clothing, housing and transportation to sending troops to fight. Although she is alone, she has the strength of a million people. It can be said that the eldest prince is the greatest luck to marry her. "
