Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1635
Seeing Xue Wanche's faltering, Su Cheng knew it in his heart, and said with a smile: "You also want to invest in the construction of the railway? However, I can say that the construction of the railway consumes a lot. You and Danyang The princess's financial resources will not take up much, you go back and tell Danyang, so that she knows."

Xue Wanche became excited when he heard this, nodded repeatedly and said: "Thank you, Duke, I saved it, I saved it."

In fact, Xue Wanche also knew that the construction of the railway would cost a lot, and there would definitely be a lot of princes participating in it. He and Princess Danyang's family was not very rich, so it was impossible to take a lot of shares.

In fact, it would be nice to be able to participate with his and Princess Danyang's wealth.

He also understood that the Duke would not treat them badly, so Xue Wanche was very relieved.

Su Cheng smiled and said: "Okay, can you rest assured to eat? Eat quickly, and go back after eating, I don't have time to entertain you today!"

Xue Wanche smiled foolishly for a few times, and then swept away the steamed buns, deep-fried dough sticks, pot stickers, and soy milk in front of him like a storm.

After eating, Xue Wanche burped in satisfaction, and said with a simple smile, "Duke, if you need anything from me, just tell me. I'll go back and tell the princess first, so that she will be happy too."

Su Cheng sent Xue Wanche out, and saw Mengsa Chijiang and Princess Zhenzhu riding horses with guards at a leisurely pace.

Mengsa Chijiang jumped off the horse and said with a smile: "We saw your steam car on the street yesterday, it's amazing, it can really go without pulling or pushing!"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "It's not magical, as long as you figure out the principle, you will find that it is so simple!"

"Yesterday was really empty. It's the first time I've seen such a grand event. The people in Chang'an are talking about the magic of steam cars. I heard that His Majesty also attaches great importance to steam cars." Mengsa Chijiang said with a smile.

Su Cheng said with a smile: "The steam car is indeed a novelty. It is normal for everyone to be curious, but this thing is really useful."

Mengsa Chijiang said with a smile: "Congratulations to the Duke for making another great contribution."

Su Cheng waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's not a great achievement. If it can be of some use to the people of the country, I will be satisfied."

A group of people walked into the Duke's Mansion while talking, Mengsa Chijiang said with a smile: "Zhenzhu, don't you have something to say to Su Cheng? Tell me, I'm going to the inner courtyard first."

After finishing speaking, Mengsa Chijiang blinked at Princess Zhenzhu, then turned and walked towards the inner courtyard.

No wonder Princess Zhenzhu didn't speak all the time, it turned out that she had something to say to him.

Su Cheng looked at Princess Zhenzhu and found that her expression was a little unnatural, as if she had encountered something difficult.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I've been hanging out in the workshop since I returned to Chang'an, and I still have a good talk with you."

Princess Zhenzhu hurriedly said: "You are a person who does great things, the steamboat is so amazing, you just do what you do."

She didn't have any complaints in her heart. After all, Su Cheng even refused to attend the Grand Court Meeting, and rarely went to Chang'an to devote himself to the workshop.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I came to Chang'an, are you still used to it?"

Princess Zhenzhu nodded and said: "Adaptation, Chang'an is so prosperous, how can I not adapt? Even Mrs. Wang likes the life in Chang'an very much. She is also relieved. Speaking of it, I should thank you!"

In the days since they came to Chang'an, they did not encounter any supercilious look or embarrassment. Of course, it was due to Su Cheng's credit. All the civil and military nobles of the Manchu Dynasty knew that she had an extraordinary relationship with the Duke's Mansion, so naturally no one dared to embarrass them.

Su Cheng waved his hands and smiled: "Thank you, I don't need it. You don't need to be so obsequious. By the way, what are you busy with recently? What difficulties have you encountered?"

Princess Zhenzhu smiled and said: "With your name as Duke Rong, who would dare to embarrass us? We have been here for so long, and my sister-in-law and I have nothing to do. We just wander around all day. One is to get familiar with Chang'an City. My sister-in-law wants to buy some property, so she can't just sit and eat like this forever."

Su Cheng said with a smile: "It's right to buy a property. Generally, small households buy land for tens of acres. People like us buy land for hundreds of acres or even thousands of acres. Fragmented ones are also troublesome, but it is not always possible to have one or several pieces of fertile land, and the same is true for buying houses and shops, and you also look down on ordinary houses and shops.”

"However, it is not always possible to find a shop in a house with a good location. It takes time to find it. You can't rush it. You are new to the door, and it is even more difficult to buy and you may be cheated. I will tell the housekeeper later. Let me help you find out."

After hearing this, Princess Zhenzhu didn't feel pretentious, but rather awkwardly said, "Then thank you very much."

Su Cheng said with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter. Seeing that you are so preoccupied today, you should treat it as something. It turns out that it is such a trivial matter. You didn't say it earlier."

With Su Cheng's current status, there is no need for him to come forward at all, just a steward of the Duke's Mansion can handle this matter safely.

As the saying goes, the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's gate, the stewards of the Rongguo government are much more prestigious than the seventh-rank officials.

Princess Zhenzhu pondered: "On the way here, I saw King Hejian and General Xue. They came so early in the morning?"

Su Cheng explained with a smile: "They came here to repair the railway. The prospect of the railway is very good. I am busy, but the threshold has been broken."

Princess Zhenzhu asked with concern: "Then did you promise them?"

Su Cheng nodded and said: "I agree, the construction of the railway is a big project, and it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources. Although my money alone is enough, but I don't know how to build it by myself. Besides, I and I They have a deep friendship."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart. Princess Zhenzhu specifically mentioned this matter, maybe she also wants to buy shares?

Thinking of this, Su Cheng couldn't help laughing: "Are you also interested in railways?"

After hearing Su Cheng's words, Princess Zhenzhu was a little hesitant to mention it, because Su Cheng was not short of money at all, but lacked manpower and material resources.

Like Hejian County King, they can not only provide money, but also provide manpower and material resources, so Su Cheng is happy to let them buy shares.

But she can only provide money, not any manpower and material resources, and what Su Cheng does not lack is money.

How could she have the nerve to speak?But Su Cheng saw through again that Princess Zhenzhu was not a coy girl, so he said generously: "Yes, my sister-in-law and I are looking for some kind of property. I think the railway you want to build is a good business, so I want to ask you a question." ask."
