Song Gexing

Chapter 125 The eldest brother is like a father and the responsibilities of the eldest son
"Why are you so thoughtful at such a young age?"

Zhao Fang waved helplessly, took Xiao Guanyin's little hand and stroked it, and said seriously: "Don't you know what kind of person I am? Li Longji only doted on Yang Yuhuan, which caused his relatives to have monopoly, but you The men of the family will treat you all equally, so why would there be troubles caused by foreign relatives?"

Xiao Guanyin's little face was red from being stroked, and she tried to break free several times but couldn't, so she had no choice but to stomp her feet lightly and stare at him coquettishly.

Hearing him talk about the misfortune of his relatives, Meng Xin's face changed slightly, she glanced at Han Xue quietly and walked over.

He smiled and said: "If you ask me, it would be best for Your Highness to pamper Sister Guanyin. That way there will be no relatives, so there will be no harm from the relatives."

Xiao Guanyin was very shy when she said this, but her words were very reasonable. Xiao Guanyin had family, but it was impossible for him to come to the Song Dynasty to be an official.

They were already relatives of the Liao Kingdom. Who would dare to let them serve as officials when they came to the Song Dynasty?

Song Yinzhang chuckled and said, "Your Highness can also pamper others! Yinzhang doesn't have a wife either."

Meng Xin burst into laughter and said, "I have never seen anyone recommending herself like this. Sister Yin Zhang is so heartless. Fortunately, she married our Highness. If it were another man, she would not be overwhelmed by the back house."

Zhao Fang laughed out loud. Indeed, the cutest thing about Song Yinzhang is that she has no intentions, doesn't know how to plot against others, and doesn't know how to guard against being plotted against.

In addition, she has never been severely beaten by the society, she is completely stupid and sweet, and she is a special existence in Zhao Fang's harem.

To say that among Zhao Fang's wives and concubines, the ones most likely to give rise to the monopoly of foreign relatives are Han Xue and Cao Minghui. Needless to say, the Cao family has a queen still in the palace.

Let’s just say that the Han family is actually the most terrifying existence. Han Qi is not the only one in the Han family who is an official.

Han Qi was a concubine among his brothers, and his legitimate brothers were also officials, but they were not as outstanding as Han Qi.

Moreover, if Han Qi does not rely on others, he will definitely become the prime minister in the future.

In addition, none of his sons are playboys. If Han Xue is singled out, the Han family will be a very scary existence, much scarier than Yang Yuhuan's stupid family members.

Looking at Yang Guozhong's actions, as long as he had one-third of Han Qi's talents, he would not have ended up like that. He was not even as talented as Wu Zetian's natal family members.

The Wu family was already a bunch of sticks, otherwise Wu Zetian would not have worked hard all her life and returned the throne to the Li family.

I still don’t understand that my natal family members are nothing but mud, but Yang Guozhong is worse than them.

Li Longji had prepared all the necessary conditions for him to perform meritorious service, but he failed to turn a battle that could have been won into a huge defeat.

The Nanzhao Kingdom was supported by the Tang Dynasty. Logically speaking, the Tang Dynasty could crush them. However, they were defeated by Yang Guozhong, forcing Li Longji to give up and destroy the Nanzhao Kingdom.

"By the way, Sister Shuanghua, ask your brother to come over the day after tomorrow."

Zhao Fang looked at Murong Shuanghua, and then asked the maid to inform his two younger brothers and another brother-in-law.

Murong Shuanghua agreed and asked curiously: "Why is Your Highness looking for them?"

Zhao Fang smiled and said, "There is a profitable business, let the four of them do it with us, and earn more money, my sister will have a better life in the future."

"make money?"

The girls' minds were filled with questions, but he smiled and did not explain. He waved his hands and said, "You will know the day after tomorrow. I won't tell you if I am unhappy today. I was robbed of too much money by those bad guys. I will never tell them this again."

Zhao Pan'er smiled and said: "I have never seen a prince who can still compete for profit. No wonder the eldest lady said that our highness is careless."

"Who doesn't worry? Sister Pan'er will talk nonsense, but the eldest lady didn't say anything." Zhao Fang was so stubborn that he would never admit it. In fact, this person is the most likely to become Yang Yuhuan. Fortunately, Zhao Pan'er didn't brothers and sisters.

Even if his father gives birth to another child, it will definitely be a boy, and even if it is, he will not be her biological mother.

Of course, as the eldest sister, she will definitely love her younger siblings, but she left home too early and her younger siblings who don't live together are naturally different.

In addition to blood ties, relationships still require getting along day and night. Even if they grow up disliking each other, it is still better than never being together.

If you don't grow up together, things will happen, but if nothing happens, you won't miss them. This is the biggest difference.

That afternoon, Zhao Fang got busy again. He first customized an iron template to shape the shape of the mirror, and then had someone buy mercury to try making the mirror quietly.

I worked hard the next day and finally made a few mirrors. They were not big. He was not that good at making full-length mirrors yet, so he could only make mirrors the size of a round fan.

Don't think that shaping glass is easy. It needs to be rolled and flattened like dough. If it's too big, bubbles will easily form and the mirror will be ruined.

This requires very skilled workers, but these skilled workers were all snatched away by the Ministry of Works and sent to the official kiln to work as instructors.

No wonder he thought to himself, those ministers were so bad, saying that the prince is also a king, how could he compete with the people for profit, and not think about the government's finances? Anyway, he couldn't speak so much.

"Bo Guang, Cai Qing, I've called you here this time to find a kiln together and let's make glass mirrors."

The next day, two brothers-in-law, Murong Ye and Gao Shilin, came over, as well as two brothers, Zhao Xin and Zhao Xi. Zhao Fang did not hesitate and spoke as soon as he sat down.

The two of them were startled and said in surprise: "Glass can also be used as a mirror! Brother, do you really mean what you said?"

Zhao Fang didn't answer, and directly asked the attendant to bring him the mirror he had made. The two of them were stunned when they saw it.

"It's so detailed! This, this..."

Zhao Xin became anxious when he saw it: "Brother, what about me?"

Zhao Fang rolled his eyes in disgust and said, "Why are you so anxious? Look at the third child. He is younger than you and more stable than you."

He was disgusted, but he continued to explain: "I originally asked you to work together, but you two are princes and will be princes in the future. You can't do business on the surface. I can only let your brother-in-law come forward to do it. Do you understand?"

Only then did the two understand the purpose of calling them here, which was also that as long as their brother ascended the throne, the two brothers would definitely be princes.

Although the Song Dynasty kept a strict eye on the royal family, they knew that their brother was different from others. He had been pampered by his brother since he was a child, so he would not keep an eye on them.

"Divide the portion into five parts, one for each of your four families, and the remaining part will be used as makeup money for the other sisters."

Although Zhao Fang loves to make money, he really doesn't need money. Those ministers are right. The entire Song Dynasty belongs to you, so why do you make money?

Besides, just from cement and newspapers, he makes a lot of money every year, so thinking about making money is too much.

Therefore, he really didn't make money for himself this time. In addition to his favorite younger brother and sister, he also has more than a dozen sisters.

Although these sisters are not as close as these two, they are also the descendants of their father, so they cannot be too unfavorable to each other.
