Reborn Princess Chasing Her Husband Crematorium
Chapter 83, they decided to capture the king first before capturing the thief
Tang Mansion and Princess Mansion are different.
In the Princess Mansion, there is a courtyard dedicated to Tang Zong Wine.
But no matter how big the Tang Mansion was, there was no reason for the male and female masters to sleep in separate courtyards.
Moreover, after all, these servants are no better than the Princess Mansion. Once word gets out that Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang have been sleeping in separate rooms, it will be of no benefit to them in establishing their prestige in conquering the Chamber of Commerce in the future.
Therefore, since they came to Tang Mansion, the two of them had to sleep in the same room.
Shen Qing and Tang Zongjiu had been staying at the inn along the way, and they slept separately. Now in their "home", it was the habit of the two of them to stay at the princess mansion.
Therefore, when faced with the upcoming "living together" life, I didn't react at all.
Shen Qing stood at the door and glanced at Tang Zongjiu, feeling a little at a loss.
Sleeping in the same room as Tang Zongjiu was something she never dared to think about.
Although they had held hands, hugged, rode horses, and hugged waists, they were now under the same roof after all, and it was completely different from the previous closeness.
She was afraid of offending Tang Zongjiu.
After all, a man and a woman are alone, and they are full of energy. Once they sleep in this room, it will be two years. Who can guarantee that there won't be any sparks within two years?
Shen Qing has never made any secret of his fondness for Tang Zongjiu.
What if, what if...
Moreover, after the divorce, if Tang Zongjiu fell in love with another girl, would he feel uncomfortable recalling the days of "living together" with him?
Will the girl on the other side respond?
Will I get sick of it?
Shen Qing didn't dare to think deeply.
In the dark night, the two were silent for a while.
Seeing that Tang Zongjiu didn't say anything, Shen Qing thought that he might not be willing.
"I……"
Before he finished speaking, Tang Zongjiu opened the door.
The first thing that caught Shen Qing's eyes was an ancient wooden bed, covered with soft quilts and embroidered pillows, and white gauze hanging around the bed, fluttering gently.
Next to the bed was a mahogany desk with the Four Treasures of the Study placed on it and some books beside it, obviously to satisfy Tang Zongjiu's preference for reading.
There are several ancient paintings hanging on the wall, and the characters in the paintings are lifelike. Under the wall is a row of wooden wardrobes, in which are neatly stacked the clothes of Shen Qing and Tang Zongjiu.
In the middle is a short coffee table, with a blue and white porcelain teapot and several exquisite tea cups placed on it.
This room is small in size but well organized.
Apparently Su Fang and the others decided that the two of them would share a room.
Shen Qing stood at the door and did not go in.
"Junge," Shen Qing calmed down and said, "If you don't want to..."
Shen Qing's words were interrupted by Tang Zongjiu pulling her in.
Tang Zongjiu just exerted a little force, and Shen Qing crashed into his arms.
"Creak -" the door closed.
Tang Zong didn't forget to pull the door bolt while drinking.
"Junge..." Shen Qing's face was a little red, buried in Tang Zongjiu's chest and embarrassed to look up.
"It's very late." Tang Zongjiu said softly, "It's time to rest, madam."
God!
Help!
Tang Zongjiu's "ma'am" call made Shen Qing lose half of his soul.
"You...you don't mind..." Shen Qing was a little incoherent.
"Madam, do you mind?" Tang Zongjiu asked back.
"No...I..." Shen Qing's voice was so soft that it almost disappeared, but Tang Zongjiu still heard it.
"Since my wife doesn't mind, and my husband is a man, I don't mind even more." Tang Zong said with a smile on his lips.
"I'm going to freshen up!" After saying that, Shen Qing ran towards the inner room with a red face.
Tang Zongjiu smiled and took off his coat.
When both of them finished washing, they stood in front of the bed and stopped.
Tang Zongjiu has slept with a woman for the first time in his life.
What's more, this woman is Shen Qing, the most beautiful woman in the Xi Kingdom.
Tang Zongjiu was calm just now, but now his heartbeat was a little fast.
Tang Zongjiu was nervous, and Shen Qing was even more at a loss.
She fought internally for a long time and finally sighed.
She stepped forward, bent down, and stretched out her hands, but as soon as she picked up the quilt, Tang Zongjiu took it away.
"You sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the floor." Tang Zong said in wine.
There was absolutely no reason to let Shen Qing sleep on the floor.
"But..." Shen Qing looked at Tang Zongjiu, "How can I let you sleep on the floor..."
The floor was cold and hard, so I couldn't sleep well.
"You don't want me to sleep on the floor? Huh?" Tang Zongjiu and Shen Qing looked at each other and said softly.
"Hmm..." Shen Qing nodded.
"I don't want you to sleep on the floor either." Tang Zong said in wine.
"Then..." What Shen Qing originally wanted to say was, "Then what should I do? Why don't we have someone clean up a room and come out?"
But before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Tang Zongjiu.
"Then we all sleep on the bed." Tang Zongjiu felt that as a man, Shen Qing could not bring up such matters.
"what……"
In Shen Qing's surprise, Tang Zongjiu put the quilt back on the bed, picked up Shen Qing's waist, put Shen Qing gently on the bed, covered her with the quilt, and tucked her in.
Then he crossed over, covered himself with a quilt and fell asleep inside.
Shen Qing's heart was beating wildly, and he huddled under the quilt without daring to move.
Finally, his heartbeat calmed down, and Shen Qing softly called out: "Junge..."
Tang Zongjiu didn't respond, replaced by the sound of his long breathing.
Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that he thinks too much.
Tang Zongjiu is worthy of being Tang Zongjiu. Even if they are sharing the same bed, he has not done anything that exceeds the rules. He is a gentleman from the beginning to the end.
Tang Zongjiu's magnanimity made Shen Qing feel a lot more at ease.
There was no need for her to think too much. Now that Tang Zongjiu and she were husband and wife, it was normal for them to sleep in the same bed. Moreover, Shen Qing was very happy to be closer to Tang Zongjiu.
After thinking about it, Shen Qing fell into sleep.
Tang Zongjiu on the side suddenly opened his eyes.
He couldn't sleep at all!
The previous calmness was all an act.
After washing, Shen Qing's body was filled with the girl's natural body fragrance, which drifted into Tang Zongjiu's nose from time to time, making Tang Zongjiu's whole body feel warm.
Tang Zongjiu felt that he was being too much.
He underestimated Shen Qing's influence on him and overestimated his determination.
At this time, Tang Zongjiu's face had a touch of red, reaching to his ears in the unknown night.
Only he knows how difficult it is for him at this moment.
You should sleep on the floor!
You and her will sleep together for more than a year in the future. What should you do?
So, Tang Zongjiu began to recite the Pure Heart Mantra.
In this way, Tang Zongjiu had no sleep for a whole day.
When it was dawn, Tang Zongjiu got up, put on his clothes, and saw that Shen Qing was still sleeping soundly, so he walked out of the room gently.
He came to the yard to practice martial arts.
When Tang Yu saw Tang Zongjiu, he remembered that his young master and the princess had spent one night under the same roof, and his curiosity suddenly aroused.
"Master!" Tang Yu trotted up to Tang Zongjiu.
Tang Zongjiu glanced sideways at Tang Yu, and when he saw Tang Yu's smiling face, he knew what he wanted to say.
Tang Zongjiu was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued to punch.
"Master!" Tang Yu asked softly, "How do you feel about the spring night?"
The next second, Tang Yu was punched away by Tang Zongjiu.
Tang Yu came just in time to let Tang Zong drink out his anger.
"Master, you don't want to slap someone in the face!" Tang Yu said aggrievedly.
The sound of fighting outside did not affect Shen Qing's good sleep.
When the sun shines into the room, Shen Qing wakes up.
She wanted to call Su Fang out of habit, but she saw that Tang Zongjiu had already gotten up and prepared breakfast for her.
Only then did she remember that she and Tang Zongjiu slept together last night!
Thinking of last night, Shen Qing's face turned red again.
"Are you hungry?" Tang Zongjiu said with a smile.
"Well..." Shen Qing lowered his head and said.
"Come freshen up and have a meal together." Tang Zongjiu poured hot water for Shen Qing.
These were all done by Su Fang in the past.
"I'll do it myself. I'll do it myself." Shen Qing immediately put on his coat and quickly freshened up.
How could she have the nerve to let Tang Zongjiu serve her?
After Tang Zongjiu beat Tang Yu, he felt much better. The embarrassment from last night was gone. Tang Zongjiu was still calm at this moment.
"Slow down." Tang Zongjiu said while serving Shen Qing a bowl of porridge. In this way, the two spent a pleasant morning.
When Qin Siwan returned to Qingfeng City, Shen Qing let her return to the Qin Mansion to reunite with her parents.
After resting in Qingfeng City for a few days, Shen Qing and Tang Zongjiu came to the Qin Mansion to talk about business.
"You mean, seven million taels of tax money for two years will be handed over to the state treasury?" Qin Cunde said.
"Yes, Boss Qin, I will tell you the truth. I want to replenish the national treasury of Xi State." Shen Qing did not hide anything from Qin Cunde, "If I can do it, your Qin family will be bound to the Princess Mansion from now on. She is my princess. As an imperial merchant designated by the government, we will both prosper and suffer."
Anyone who can become an imperial merchant is doing a huge business. Qin Cunde has been doing business for so many years, but he has never been successful. To put it bluntly, there is no one in the court.
The only time I went to the imperial capital, I thought I would be able to build connections with the imperial court and gain access to the royal merchants. But not only did the path fail, but I also lost a daughter to get in.
But who does business, who doesn’t want to be an imperial merchant?
Moreover, Qin Siwan is already a "person" in the princess mansion, so Qin Cunde has no other way to go.
"In this case, I would rather be respectful than obey orders." Qin Cunde said, "Before that, I would also like to tell His Highness and Consort the current situation of the Southern Chamber of Commerce."
The Southern Chamber of Commerce is different from the Northern Chamber of Commerce.
The president of the Northern Chamber of Commerce is a man of one word, and everyone works together to get rich.
The Southern Chamber of Commerce is put together by various families, and any resolution is based on a voting system.
One voice has the advantage of having one voice, and the voting system has the advantages of the voting system.
The situation of "exclusion" in Yiyantang is very serious. Anyone who disagrees with the mainstream opinions and has unified thoughts can only be at the bottom with no hope of climbing up.
Although the voting system strives to "seek common ground while reserving differences," on major matters, everyone has their own ideas, and it is difficult to reach an agreement.
Therefore, under the confrontation between the northern and southern chambers of commerce, the overall efficiency and profitability of the southern chamber of commerce are not as good as those in the north due to loose management.
However, the advantage of the South lies in its rich real estate and material abundance, so it has been able to maintain a stalemate with the North until now.
"Your Highness, you want to unify the North and South Chambers of Commerce. I will definitely support it, but you have to unite the several bosses in the South first, and this alone is already very difficult." Qin Cunde said seriously.
The four major bosses of the Southern Chamber of Commerce are respectively engaged in the four sectors of "clothing", "food", "housing" and "travel".
The Qin family is "Xing", so they can find six presiding monks from all over the world.
Of course, in addition to their own industries, these four bosses are also involved in other industries to some extent. This is how Tingyulou came to be.
The remaining three bosses are the Ding family, which deals in "clothing", the Liu family, which deals in "food", and the Gusu family, which deals in "living".
"Your Highness, the cloth business you mentioned cannot be separated from the Ding family." Qin Cunde introduced.
"Boss Qin, actually I have one more thing to do when I come here this time."
Since Qin Cunde has now completely surrendered to the Princess Mansion, Shen Qing will not hide too much from him.
"Your Highness, please tell me."
"I want to suppress the water bandits." Shen Qing said.
"Suppress water bandits?!" Qin Cunde was startled.
"Yes." Shen Qing said, "The task my father gave me before he left."
"Have the emperor paid attention to the water bandits in the south?" Qin Cunde asked.
"That's right." Shen Qing continued, "And the ones who suppressed the water bandits this time are not only Junge and I, but also the Imperial Envoy on the surface."
Hearing this, Qin Cunde's eyes couldn't help but gleam.
"I wonder if you know who the Imperial Envoy is?"
"Lin Muci, the number one scholar in the new field of study who passed the Three Yuan exam," Shen Qing said.
"Your Highness," Qin Cunde paused, "The officialdom in the south is very deep. If you are just doing business to make money, I will go all out. But once it involves officialdom, I am afraid there is nothing you can do."
Qin Cunde also told the truth, he was just a businessman and he couldn't afford to offend officialdom.
"Don't worry about this. The Imperial Envoy Lin Muci and the Governor of Liangjiang and Minister of War Shao Chongde are our people."
Qin Cunde:......
Shang Hongwan:...
Qin Siwan:......
What is the concept of Governor-General of Liangjiang?
He is the largest official in the entire South.
All the seven southern provinces of the Xi Kingdom were under his jurisdiction, and no one had a richer background than him.
The relative of the Shao family that Jiang Zhirong, the prefect of Haichuan, kept talking about before, was Shao Chongde.
It's just that Shao Chongde doesn't admit it. If Shao Chongde really admits it, then not only Shen Qing, but also Lin Mici will have to weigh it.
Just like Shen Qing and Tang Zongjiu were shocked when they heard Qin Siwan's words "Tingyu Tower is my family's property" a few days ago, when the three members of the Qin family heard Shen Qing say "The Governor of Liangjiang is mine", they didn't know what to say for a moment. How to strike up a conversation.
Your Highness, is it really okay for you to say such things so easily?
No matter how shocked, Qin Cunde understood.
What Shen Qing meant by this was that no matter what happened, there would be no one with a greater background than Princess Shu Ning in the entire Xi Kingdom.
One of them is powerful and the other is rich, so what are they afraid of?
Qin Cunde sweated for himself.
He couldn't help but think of every important thing the princess did in the imperial capital.
Even in the south, there was a lot of excitement and excitement.
But then again, shopping malls are like battlefields. Since ancient times, one general has achieved great success, so why not be like this in shopping malls?
Thinking of this, Qin Cunde's heart skipped a beat.
"Your Highness!" He stepped forward and knelt down, "I will only obey you in this life, and I am willing to risk my life."
"Boss Qin, I am here, no one dares to kill your family." Shen Qing said.
Qin Cunde was talking about himself, while Shen Qing was talking about their family.
This is a reassurance.
Qin Cunde kowtowed, and Shen Qing accepted it.
"In this case, Your Highness, if you want to suppress the water bandits, you cannot do without the Liu family." Qin Cunde continued, "The south is close to the water and the fishery is developed. The Liu family almost takes over the fishery and transportation in the entire southern sea area."
"The Liu family has been dealing with water bandits all year round. Apparently they have reached an agreement in private. If you suppress the water bandits, you will suppress the Liu family. And..."
"And there are also government officials." Tang Zongjiu said at this time.
"Yes, Prince Consort." Qin Cunde said, "The reason why the water bandits in the south are so rampant has nothing to do with the government."
"But having said that, if His Highness can wipe out the water bandits this time, or even incorporate them into the imperial court, then your goal of seven million taels of silver will be almost a third achieved."
"They are so rich?!" Shen Qing said in surprise.
Qin Cunde nodded.
"What about the remaining two-thirds?"
"Of course it's the Ding family, the Gusu family and our Qin family."
"So, you are saying that the Liu family is actually the biggest leader in the Southern Chamber of Commerce?"
"good."
"More money than you?"
"Exactly."
Shen Qing: "..."
Since meeting Qin Cunde, Shen Qing has truly understood what "being rich" means.
After all, "money" and "having money" are completely different concepts.
"Finally, let's talk about the Gusu family." Shen Qing said.
"The Gusu family's residence is not just an inn and a post house," Qin Cunde said. "The Gusu family has the best craftsmen in the whole country of Xi, and their house-building craftsmanship is unique to the country of Xi."
"So powerful..." Shen Qing murmured.
"To be able to sit at the top of the industry, one is certainly no ordinary person." Qin Cunde said.
"Boss Qin, in your opinion, where should we start?"
"In my humble opinion, it is said that to capture the thief first, capture the king. After the Liu family captures it, it will be much easier for the following two families."
"You mean, kill the bandits first?"
"Exactly."
The root cause of rampant water bandits in the South is salt.
The main salt production areas of Xi State are in the south and northeast.
From the south to the southwest, the transportation of official salt requires a long waterway.
Not only time, but also human, material and financial resources during the period are a huge expense.
This results in the price of official salt in the southwest being generally ten times more expensive than elsewhere.
At the same time, the people in the southwest are miserable.
It is precisely because of this that private salt is rampant from the south to the southwest.
You can buy more private salt at the same price, and official salt has lost its market in the southwest.
This was something the court could not tolerate, so the court began to govern.
As they come and go, some people turn to bandits and become water bandits.
In the process of confronting the government, some people killed people from the government and stood on the opposite side of the court from then on.
In this way, the power of water bandits gradually formed.
They not only sold private salt themselves, but also robbed official salt, including merchant ships passing by.
Over time, the water bandits became more and more powerful and became a serious problem for the imperial court.
The Moyang River is more than 4,000 kilometers long, running from the snowy mountains in the north through the entire Xi Kingdom to the coastal mouth in the south.
It is not only the longest river in Xi State, but also the most important waterway trade river in Xi State.
Linxi City is to the west of the Moyang River and close to the south, where water bandits are most rampant.
It was not because of anything else, but mainly because Linxicheng was a must-pass among the waterways that the imperial court sent to the west and south for official salt. (End of chapter)
