Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 597
Chapter 11 What You Want, You Must Give
It is absolutely unfair to say that Li Xiuning has no knowledge, but Li Xiuning was shocked by Chen Ying.

In July of the 13th year of Daye, Li Yuan led an army of 170 to rebel against the Sui Dynasty.What gave Li Yuan the greatest confidence was that at that time Li Yuan had the support of many wealthy families such as the Li family of Longyou, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Wang family of Taiyuan, the Wen family of Taiyuan, and the Wu family of Bingzhou.At that time, the political donations Li Yuan received were [-] million guan, most of which were paid in food, armor, weapons and cloth.

Therefore, Li Yuan fought from Taiyuan to Chang'an and gained the name of benevolence and righteousness because Li Yuan had the support of money and food. He didn't need to rely on fighting to support fighting like Li Mi, Du Fuwei, and Dou Jiande.

Li Xiuning silently calculated an account, Chen Ying's income for one year is roughly equivalent to the income accumulated by dozens of generations of the Wang family in Taiyuan.If Chen Ying is willing, with his financial resources, he can fully arm a [-] army, as well as the food and supplies that the [-] army needs to consume.

Li Xiuning was shocked by Chen Ying's family property, and she murmured for a long time: "Originally, I thought that the book said that the wealth could rival the country, which was an exaggerated rhetorical technique, but I didn't expect that Chen Lang would actually be truly wealthy. "

Li Xiuning vaguely remembered that when Chen Yingchu was in the first year of Wude, he didn't even have the money to buy a house. The current house was bought by Chen Ying from Xu Jingzong by using the "Three Treasures of the Horse". It's short, it's not long, but Chen Ying has gone from being penniless to being extremely rich today.

Chen Ying smiled helplessly: "What is it that is so rich? You only see what is in front of you. In fact, there are many accidental factors. The market for four-wheeled carriages is saturated. Such a valuable carriage is not something that ordinary people can afford. , People who can afford it, almost all bought it, and it is uncertain whether there will be a profit of [-] guan in the second half of the year. Of course, the salt and iron imperial court monopolizes it, and it was established at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. , why don't I take the initiative to hand it over."

"Hand it over? Why?" Li Xiuning said inexplicably, "Why, it's not our family that manages salt and iron. Taiyuan Wang's, Jingzhao Wei's, Xingyang Zheng's, Wenxi Pei's, none of them has a steel workshop ? Which one of their private salt?"

Chen Ying explained: "There is endless money in the world. We can't occupy all the ways to make money. You must know that people's eyes are dark, and their hearts are also dark. Blocking people's money is like killing their parents." No matter how good the relationship is, it cannot stand the test in the face of absolute interests."

Li Xiuning thought she didn't want to agree, but Chen Ying decided to transform the Chen Group, making a fortune silently is Chen Ying's kingly way.

Li Xiuning's understanding of money is not that deep, because as a princess of the Tang Dynasty, even when Li Yuan did not establish a country and become emperor, she never lacked Li Xiuning's expenses.A person who has never experienced money pressure feels like a string of numbers.

It took about half an hour, Li Xiuning took over Chen Ying's internal accounts without hesitation.

In the original Chen Mansion, there were few people and few things, and there were not so many rules.And Chen Ying, the master, is often not at home, and the Chen residence is not like a grand mansion at all.

But this marriage is different.Li Xiuning not only brought five Teng concubines, but also more than 120 children. These people were headed by Ma Sanbao, the steward of the outer court, and there were [-] maidservants in the inner court, and [-] maids who had been trained by the royal family. , and twelve eunuchs.At this time, Chen Ying also understood the reason why the ancients paid attention to well-off households. Generally, small people and small households, such as two thousand people, could not afford to support them.

Chen shouldn't mind manpower.The more the better, the steel factory and the salt factory will not be able to do it in the future, Chen Ying's industry will be transformed, and the consumption of human resources will also be endless.

At noon when Chen Ying entertained the guests, Li Xiuning ignored everyone's criticism and went back to bed to sleep soundly.She was really tossed hard, but she was still comfortable lying on the bed.

Chen Ying also invited the guards of the Zhechong mansion to a banquet, and went to Qinglinli to toast with the craftsmen of the various workshops under the name of the Chen family in turn.However, Chen Ying learned the lesson this time. He asked Guo Luo to hold a wine jar full of water. He just smeared some wine on the mouth of the jar, and it smelled like wine.

However, Chen Ying was not feeling well after drinking a stomach full of water, and when he returned to Chang'an City again, it was almost time to close the city gate.When returning to the Chen Mansion, Li Xiuning woke up slowly.

Li Xiuning watched Chen Ying come back and clamored to eat beggar's chicken.

Chen Yingwen laughed loudly and said: "Who still eats that thing? It's so boring. If you marry Chen's family, you can rest assured. Don't dare to say that 360 will not eat heavy dishes for five days. At least it will make you fat and fat." question!"

Li Xiuning said dissatisfied: "I don't care, I just want to eat beggar's chicken!"

Chen Yingnai, despite Li Xiuning's begging, was also trying to show off, cooking himself, showing off his skills: Kung Pao Chicken, Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, Sweet and Sour Fish, Sixi Meatballs, Aftertaste Chicken, Honey Venison and more than a dozen delicious side dishes.

Li Xiuning ate with a big appetite.

Guixi, also known as Guining.That is what later generations call returning to the door in three days.This is the last procedure of the ancient wedding, after the completion of the return, it is considered to be married.

Early in the morning on June [-]th in the third year of Wude, Li Xiuning got up early at dawn, washed, dressed, and dressed, and it took an hour before Shi Shiran went out.

In the Hall of Martial Virtue, Li Yuan got up very early and was looking forward to it.From time to time, he asked Chen Qi, the permanent attendant: "Have the princess and the son-in-law come yet?"

Chen Qi bowed and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Princess Pingyang and her son-in-law have just left the house!"

Not long after, Li Yuan asked again: "Has the princess entered the palace yet?"

In fact, even when Li Xiuning was not married, she was not often in Chang'an, nor would she often appear in front of her eyes.However, Li Yuan's state of mind at this time is just like that of a father in the world. The Chinese cabbage that he has worked so hard to raise for 18 years is suddenly beaten by a pig.

Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji all felt inexplicable. They didn't know why Li Yuan was so abnormal.

Li Yuan turned back and forth with his hands behind his back, and finally, under Li Yuan's expectant eyes, Li Xiuning and Chen Ying finally came behind the palace.

"See you daddy.

"Meet my grandfather"

Li Yuan looked at Li Xiuning left and right, at this moment Li Xiuning became more and more glamorous.Only then did Li Yuan expect Ai Ai to say: "Free from courtesy!"

Originally, when Li Xiuning did not return to the palace, Li Yuan seemed to have a thousand words to say to Li Xiuning, but the moment he saw Li Xiuning, Li Yuan didn't know how to say it.

The banquet that Li Yuan set up in the Hall of Martial Virtue was very sumptuous, but everyone present had no intention of swallowing it.Li Yuan's headache is the financial problem of Datang. Since Li Yuan founded the country, Datang has been fighting for years, and the financial revenue and expenditure have never been balanced.

Salt and iron are the main source of taxes for the imperial court, but Chen Ying has a large amount of steel production capacity in his hands. In this era, steel production capacity means a lot of money.

Li Yuan thought about it, if he forcibly relied on the emperor's majesty to force Chen Ying, it would obviously be very unfair to Chen Ying.But now he really can't come up with something to exchange with Chen Ying, and he can't be king.If Li Yuan really dared to do this, I am afraid that more than half of the ministers will hang up their seals and leave, resign and quit.

The ministers in the early Tang Dynasty still had integrity and bottom lines.

The ministers of the Tang Dynasty are not like the kowtowers of the Manchu Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty.

After thinking for a long time, Li Yuan didn't think of words.He looked at Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng understood and was about to get up.At this time, Chen Ying was the first to stand up instead.

"My lord father, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I have something to say!"

Chen Ying solemnly took out a scroll from his arms, held it in the palm of his hand, and raised it above his head.

Chen Qi walked in front of Chen Ying with small steps unique to eunuchs, took Chen Ying's scroll, and handed it to Li Yuan carefully.

Li Yuan opened the scroll casually. He originally thought that Chen Ying was arty, and gave him some so-called celebrity calligraphy and paintings.

However, at the moment when Li Yuan unfolded, Li Yuan's expression changed drastically.

Because it says above, Chen Ying is willing to put three blast furnaces under his name, as well as eleven large and small workshops including Jiafang, Nufang, Modaofang and Iron and Steel Workshop, including more than [-] craftsmen, and more than [-] workers. As a civilian husband, all technical reserves are dedicated to the imperial court without any restrictions.

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying, a little unbelievable.He thought to himself: "Is Chen Ying crazy?"

In fact, Chen Ying is not crazy, he knows it very well.What you want to take must be given first.
