Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 880 The Ladies Attracted by Coins

As for Dugu Lanruo's location at this time, Baoqin guessed wrong.

Dugu Lanruo is in Jiangnan.

He didn't stay in his unfinished manor, and he didn't go to Hangzhou. Instead, he lived in the manor of Xiao's family in Yangzhou.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a folk custom of brotherhood, whether it was aristocrats or commoners, that is, men dominate outside and women dominate inside.

If it is an official, it is natural that the man is an official outside, and the hostess is in charge of running the house.

If it is a wealthy family, the men are responsible for checking the accounts and managing the primary industry such as land property and animal husbandry.The hostess is responsible for managing some small things at home, such as small workshops and the like.

In the era of the Tang Dynasty, there were no wealthy merchants, but there were small merchants. Most of the wealthy merchants were composed of branch houses and servants of wealthy families, and the property still belonged to the family.This kind of industry belongs to the scope of the management of the hostess.

So far, Datang has not undergone a qualitative change in the general direction of the male protagonist outside the female protagonist.

Because of this, Dugu Lanruo went to Yangzhou in person and lived in Xiao's manor.

Xiao Ling'er pulled her mother, aunt, aunt, and a dozen people together, led the Xiao family's sideline industry team, gathered all the boats they could muster, and transported countless daily necessities such as cloth, combs, and water cups to Pingcheng, Xinjin City, Kumamoto and other places.

When the fleet returned to Huating Port, Yangzhou Port, Hangzhou Port, and Cixi Port again, the whole Jiangnan went crazy.

Countless nobles poured into the Xiao family like a tide.

Xiao Ling'er is enough to face these noble ladies, even the mistress of Xiao's family feels a lot of pressure when facing dozens of wives.

Helpless, Xiao Ling'er had no choice but to ask Dugu Lanruo for help.

So Dugu Lanruo came to Yangzhou and lived in Xiao's manor.

Accompanying Dugu Lanruo are four grown-up princesses, namely Changsha Changgong Princess, Gaomi Changgong Princess, Jiujiang Changzhu Princess, and Princess Xiangcheng, who is now the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family and the eldest daughter of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

Princess Xiangcheng's mother was just a very ordinary maid, who died of dystocia when giving birth to her.

In terms of status, Princess Xiangcheng belongs to the low-class category among the princesses in the current dynasty. Her mother's status is low, and she has no background from her uncle's family.

It was Liu Mu who made Princess Xiangcheng marry into Xiao's family and married Xiao Yu's eldest son Xiao Rui, which improved her status a lot.

Right now, Dugu Lanruo is protecting her, or because her mother is a maidservant, as an aunt, Dugu Lanruo will more or less take care of her.

The five princesses of Tang Dynasty are here, and two of them are eldest princesses.

Princess Changsha is the eldest daughter of Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, and Princess Xiangcheng is the eldest daughter of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, she is actually equivalent to Princess Gaomi, wife of King Duan Lun of Shu, and Princess Jiujiang, the wife of Ashinadur.

And Dugu Lanruo.

The originally noisy Xiao's manor suddenly became quiet, and the wives who were arguing about the residence also gave in to each other, and everything became very calm.

In the evening, Dugu Lanruo, the four princesses and Xiao Linger gathered in the small hall.

Dugu Lanruo spoke first: "Gao Mi, haven't your family account books arrived yet?"

"We've arrived. We're sorting out and making statistics, but the data is still not clear enough. Because my sister is in a hurry, so the big bills haven't come out. They're on the way. There's a lot of bills, and it's still a little bit worse right now."

After Princess Gaomi finished speaking, Princess Jiujiang hurriedly said before Dugu Lanruo asked, "Sister Changping, the accounts sent by my family have also arrived, and the big ones will always come out, and the small ones still need a few days."

Princess Changsha also turned her head: "The account books from Chai Fuma's side have also arrived." Xiao Ling'er also added: "The accounts of Lingnan Yue Guogong, and the accounts purchased by the second sister's chief shipping officer Chang'an have also been delivered."

Dugu Lanruo let out a breath slowly: "Then it's the accounts of Prince Yi."

After finishing speaking, Dugu Lanruo picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. The account she wanted was for the value of all shipments from Wa Island and Peninsula. Since each company wants to ask for a share for their own workshops, if there is no estimated value If not, empty promises will definitely be chaotic.

If you say princess.

The princesses of the past dynasties, the Yuanmeng and the braided dynasties are not counted, it is an alien invasion.

In the rest of the dynasties, the princesses of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be raising canaries, and the princesses of the Song Dynasty were tools for marriage. Only the princesses of the Han and Tang Dynasties were truly powerful.

The princesses of the Han Dynasty were married, but there were also many involved in government affairs.

The princess has an official position is Datang, Princess Pingyangzhao created a miracle of the identity of the princess, and is the first princess in history to have a posthumous title.

"Drink tea." The princess of Changsha signaled to the girls to taste the tea: "This is the tea from Quanzhou in autumn, and it is made in a very special way."

The ladies of the country in the garden are running around in a hurry, and Dugu Lanruo in the inner courtyard is as firmly seated as a mountain.

The wives of the country dared to ask the Xiao family for the waterway, but they dared not ask Dugu Lan for it, so they could only endure it.

Two days later, a boat came down the river from Chang'an.Liu Ruyu, chief accountant of the General Shipping Department, has arrived, and she has to come. The amount of materials purchased by the General Shipping Department in Jiangnan alone has exceeded the total revenue of Datang's treasury last year. If she does not come, Datang Emperor Li Shimin will not feel at ease.

Before Liu Ruyu left Chang'an, Li Shimin personally hosted a banquet to see him off, accompanied by four concubines, two servants from the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and other officials attended the banquet.

After the banquet, Concubine Wei Gui, who heard some confidential news, was very moved. She ordered her family to bring ten boxes of gold coins, and arranged for her two sisters-in-law to accompany Liu Ruyu to go south.

The arrival of Liu Ruyu made countless ladies go crazy, they almost screamed.

Liu Ruyu is Datang's Goddess of Wealth, which is recognized by the ladies circle of Datang, Liu Mu is a man after all, it is inconvenient for ladies to surround Liu Mu, but they can surround Liu Ruyu.

Dugu Lanruo personally went to the pier to meet Liu Ruyu.

After the two girls met, Liu Ruyu spoke first: "Princess, when I came on the road, I thought about sending someone to deliver a letter to Da Lang. No matter what method or method he uses, a Tangfang will be built in Xinjin City." .”

"Good to say."

Dugu Lanruo agreed, and the two wrote a letter each without leaving the pier, and then ordered the boat to go north to find Liumu.

With the joint letter from Dugu Lanruo and Liu Ruyu, I believe Liu Mu must know that they need this Tangfang very much, so Liumu will find a way to get the land for Tangfang.

As for how Liu Mu will negotiate with Goguryeo, Liu Ruyu has never thought about it. In her opinion, her twin brother is a genius in squeezing Goguryeo. A piece of Tangfang land.

On the way back, Liu Ruyu said to Dugu Lanruo: "Before I left Chang'an, the sage hosted a banquet to see me off. At the banquet, Cui Shangshu from the household department told me a statistical data from the household department, about people's livelihood and supplies."

"About people's livelihood and supplies?" Dugu Lanruo didn't expect what they were counting.
