farmer's husband

Chapter 626

Three months after Concubine Shu's letter arrived in Liangzhou, King Liang, who was far away in Liangzhou, ordered someone to bring four carts full of silver back.After the silver, two carriages filled with Liangzhou cotton and silk cloth followed.

Dai Liang, who escorted these things back to Beijing, still held a thick letter from King Liang to the emperor in his hand.

In these years, the treasury has been empty, and the emperor has been anxious.Now Liang Wang ordered someone to send back 10 taels of silver. Although the amount is not too much, it can fill a hole in a certain place anyway.

Therefore, the emperor accepted it with a smile, and also praised Liang Wang for being sensible, obedient, and considerate of his father.

As for the cotton and silk cloth sent by King Liang, of course he immediately ordered the embroiderers in Yuxiufang to cut them out, and made clothes for the concubines, princes and princesses in the palace.

In addition, the emperor read the letter written by King Liang, and he also greatly praised King Liang Yitong in the court.

It turned out that in this thick letter, King Liang carefully wrote down how he and Princess Liang managed Liangzhou in these years.Even the details of the annual transactions, as well as the flow of people on the exchange, the daily profit situation, and the living conditions of the people, were all written down in detail, so that the emperor could see clearly at a glance.

Haha, didn't Concubine Shu let them show their loyalty and prevent the emperor from thinking that King Liang was planning to support himself in Liangzhou?Well, they will show all their old backgrounds to the emperor, so the emperor can feel at ease now, right?
Presumably, when Concubine Shu saw this letter, her face looked even more beautiful.

But no matter how Concubine Shu in the deep palace feels in her heart, the emperor is very happy anyway.

Therefore, he not only praised King Liang severely at the court meeting, but even when meeting his courtiers in the imperial study, he never forgot to wear clothes made of cloth sent back by King Liang.

When the king of a country took the lead, the concubines in the harem naturally followed suit.

So, starting from the imperial palace, and then spreading to the entire capital, everyone was proud to be able to wear clothes made of cloth from Liangzhou.

For a while, cotton cloth and satin in Liangzhou became very popular, and the prices rose again and again.

When more merchants heard the news, they all rushed to Liangzhou.

Before the merchants arrived, the emperor's reward had already arrived.In addition to the rewards of various valuables, the emperor also named the young princes and young ladies as county kings and princesses except for the son of Prince Liang.

In Liang Wang's letter, he naturally made a special mention of Chun Zhi's contribution.That's why Girl Chen and Kid Xi, who were just three years old, also won the titles of County Lord and Marquis respectively.

In addition, the emperor also handwritten two plaques.One of them says 'No. [-] Cotton in the World', and the other says 'No. [-] Silk in the World'. This is the official identification of both cotton and silk in Liangzhou.

However, although Liangzhou's cotton cloth is good, the quality of silk cloth is really not top-notch.However, now that this title is given by the emperor, who can refute it?
Therefore, after this incident, the two titles spread rapidly, and the titles of Liangzhou City, King Liang, and Princess Beiguo quickly spread to all parts of the country.

Liang Wang got these two plaques, and the blue color on his face finally faded.

"I've decided! Hang the plaque of the best cotton in the world at the gate of the old trading house, and the future cotton trading will be placed here. As for the best silk in the world, it will be hung in the new trading house, and it will be dedicated to trading there in the future." Cool silk business." He announced to Chun Zhi and Princess Liang vigorously, "With these two things, I don't think any of them would dare to look down on us!"

Princess Liang also had a slight smile on her face.

"10 taels of silver, in exchange for these two plaques... Well, considering the long-term development, I accept it. However, I must use these two plaques to my death, and I must spend the money spent. Just earn it back!"

Harue also nodded. "At least after this wave of operations, we are not at a loss. Especially the people of Liangzhou, everyone is very happy to see these two plaques! It is not bad to get the support of the people in exchange for ten thousand gold. gone."

King Liang and Princess Liang nodded.

However, even if they got the emperor's plaque, they didn't intend to raise the price.After all, their business has just started, and what they want now is small profits but quick turnover.

Therefore, after hanging the plaque of the best silk in the world, the new exchange reopened amidst the crackling of a string of firecrackers.

Also from that moment on, more and more common people settled here, and countless merchants came to buy goods.In the next six months, the flow of people in Liangzhou City climbed to a higher peak.By the end of the year, the amount of money that Liang Wang sent back to the capital more than doubled.

It's just that they are already so proactive, they didn't expect Concubine Shu not to be satisfied.

Just a year ago, Concubine Shu sent another letter to King Liang.

When King Liang saw it, he smashed the room down!

At that time, Chun Zhi happened to be in Prince Liang's mansion, and she was discussing with Princess Liang and Chun Ya about repairing Liangzhou City.

After all, now, people's homes produce silk and satin all year round.Buying silk and satin can be exchanged for money, so the corresponding hand will be a lot richer.After you have money, the corresponding needs in various aspects will naturally increase.But in terms of eating, drinking and having fun, Liangzhou still lacks too much.

Also, there are more and more merchants coming to buy goods now.Some people came late, and the severe winter entered Liangzhou as soon as they arrived, so they didn't leave at all and stayed in Liangzhou for the New Year.In this way, the issue of accommodation and meals has become a top priority again.

It's not that Chunzhi said that the inns and meals in Liangzhou are too rough, and no number of outsiders are used to it.

Not to mention all kinds of theft and robbery caused by people getting richer and richer, and merchants with large amounts of cash.This needs to be resolved immediately.

Therefore, from the end of last year to the end of this year, they almost never took a break.I am so busy every day that my feet don't touch the ground, I wish I could use one person as three people.

But at this moment, Concubine Shu came to make trouble!

Seeing that King Liang opened the letter, he walked into the inner room with a gloomy expression after reading it.Then, there was the sound of crackling and smashing things inside, and Chun Zhi and the others began to panic.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Chun Ya's face turned pale, and she hurriedly asked in a low voice.

Concubine Liang picked up the letter paper that King Liang had thrown on the table and looked at it, and then she also looked down.

"Concubine Mu is indeed too much!" She scolded in a low voice.

Chun Zhi quickly took the letter over and read it, and she couldn't help chuckling immediately. "Does Concubine Shu think too much of us? We really can't do it for her youngest son to be crowned king."

"Isn't it? It's the father's business to make the prince king, how can we control it?" Concubine Liang sneered, "What's more, the little emperor is only three years old, and usually the princes don't wait until they are eleven or twelve years old. Is it the king? Why is she in a hurry? At the beginning, the two little princesses were named princesses when they were born. The reason why the concubine pushes forward!"

In fact, what Princess Liang said was euphemistic enough.Concubine Shu's words in this letter are really taken for granted, bossy.It was as if begging her youngest son for the throne was something they could do at their fingertips.What's more, she still has the posture that if Liang Wang can't do it, she will make a fuss!

Back then, the Prince Liang had won the throne with the help of the crown prince!He was only crowned king when he was 14 years old, didn't Concubine Shu never express anything?
As a result, now that it was the little prince, she put all her heart into it, and unceremoniously squeezed the eldest son.This distinction is also skipping the obvious point.Not to mention that King Liang would be angry, even Chun Zhi, an outsider, would be angry when she saw this letter!
"I can't promise her about this." Chun Zhi said in a deep voice.

"Of course not!" Concubine Liang immediately shook her head, "Don't say we really don't have the ability, even if we did, we can't do this! Otherwise, we just let the little emperor become king now, so in two years, will she be Do you want us to find a way to help the little emperor to become the crown prince?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Chun Zhi's expression changed immediately, and she quickly winked at Princess Liang.

Princess Liang sneered.

"What am I afraid of? My lord, in his life, his father never cared for his mother since he was a child, and he has two elder brothers who bullied him all the time. Before he was 20 years old, he really suffered a lot. Now we have come to Liangzhou after all. , the days are slowly getting better, and his mood has calmed down a lot. The concubine mother saw that there was something to be gained, so she came over to meddle again. We put up with it at the beginning of the year, but now she is clearly testing us Bottom line. If we continue to tolerate it, she will definitely go too far! I can't give her another chance."

"Then just ignore her." Chunzhi immediately said, "She must have sent this letter secretly. She has always been very innocent in front of the emperor, how could she let the emperor know this about her?" Be careful? So, if we ignore it, she doesn't dare to call out in a big way, but she is just quietly tripping us up. Even..."

She winked at Princess Liang again. "If you are ruthless, you might be able to stop her with your backhand!"
