Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1378
In the mansion of the Qinhuai royal family, the women of the royal family are completely ignorant of the conspiracy, but they are immersed in the worries of Wang Qingzhu's upcoming northward journey.

Originally, Wang Qingzhu planned to go north long ago, but because of the unfavorable issuance of war bonds, she never left.what happened?

It turns out that the war bonds issued in this issue guarantee very few overseas mines, and most of them are copper and iron resources in the north. Everyone is happy, it is a business that is protected by the imperial court and can make a profit without losing money, but Shen Mo insists that it is wrong.

The South China Sea is extremely vast and rich in resources. However, the Song Dynasty directly controlled the fifteen military prefectures, and relatively limited resources. If you want to plunder the resources of the vassal states, you need at least a fig leaf to prevent the policy of naturalization and integration of local natives from causing twists and turns.

He believes that businessmen are greedy and cannot be satisfied with easy-to-obtain benefits. The resources of overseas military states should be used for the development of the family and the country instead of letting the businessmen divide up the benefits. profit.

For this reason, he had discussed with Wang Xiu many times, and was finally convinced that no matter whether it is local or overseas, private individuals must not be allowed to override the country.

Merchants who seek profit under the protection of the imperial court naturally need to pay something. This is the emergence of war bonds as collateral for northern minerals.

It is obvious that people shout open slogans, but they are unwilling to take responsibility in their hearts. The broken north will inevitably affect the prosperous south. The most important thing is the top merchants. They don't have much confidence in Wang Shi's going north. loss of wealth.

Without it, Wang Xiu has never lost a record, and the situation between the north and the south is also favorable to the Song Dynasty. It's just that Wang Xiu sealed and cultivated the grasslands, and did not vigorously develop the horse army, let alone predatory development, which disappointed the merchants.Also, the remaining prestige of the Jin army was scattered, making them hesitate and dare not place a bet lightly. Fighting against the still tyrannical Jurchens was not to bully those barbarians in the South China Sea.

Wang Qingzhu intends to build momentum, raise funds from Wang Ji Department Store, and take the opportunity to buy war bonds, not only for her own financial resources, but also to set off an upsurge in buying war bonds, directly supporting the cause of the brothers, achieving the best of both worlds .

"This is 4000 million coins. You can just buy less. Why waste all the money?" Youqin Mo Yan was a little worried. Wang Qingzhu mobilized her own capital of 370 million coins and divided it into millions of coins to buy. , Others are divided into more than a dozen names to buy, so as to promote other businesses, it is too risky.

The family business of Wangji Department Store Nuoda has developed into a giant in 20 years, secretly monopolizing many industries, participating in mining, factory manufacturing, commodity retailing, etc., and infiltrating into the banking system. Wan Guan also almost emptied the working capital of all places, and if there is any change, it will be too late.

Wang Qingzhu frowned slightly, but said without any hesitation: "This family business was created by Brother Xiu. He wants to complete his life's work. As long as he succeeds, it doesn't matter if he loses everything?"

"I really don't know what to say about you, hey." Youqin Mo Yan sighed softly, since it was for her brother, money is nothing.

"In a few days, I will go north with my fourteenth lady. You have to take care of yourselves. Hey, the master is true. You can come up with such dirty ideas. It's better to take the fourteenth lady away, you Be careful with the brothers too, don't let them plot against you." Wang Qingzhu resented Zhao Roujia very much, if it wasn't for the incident, it would be a farce, I'm afraid she would really make a fuss and damage her niece's reputation anyway. It's hard to swallow, if you don't know that the other party is also a direct niece, you will have the thought of killing her.

"Sister, don't think about it too much. Who would dare to harm my elder brother when he is traveling in an important place? Elder brother also lays down his back before he leaves." Youqin Mo Yan's heart was trembling, but his mouth was on the other side, not daring to admit it.

"I won't say much, you can figure it out." Wang Qingzhu shook her head helplessly, Youqin Mo Yan is very smart, but she has been obliged for too long.

While talking, Li Caiwei walked in quickly, but saw Wang Qingzhu was present, she did not avoid suspicion and said: "The eldest lady is also there, Madam, there is a woman at the side door asking to see, saying that there is an urgent matter to report."

"What's urgent?" Youqin Mo Yan glanced at Wang Qingzhu, but said, "Let her come here."

The person who came was Gou San's wife, Mrs. Qu. Facing the most powerful man in the dynasty, his wife, and the richest woman in the world, her face was pale, her whole body trembled involuntarily, and her eyes were full of admiration. of light.

"I don't know who the lady is, don't be nervous, what's the matter with coming to my mansion?" Youqin Mo Yan saw that the other party was startled, so he couldn't help slowing down his voice.

Qu swallowed her saliva, felt the kindness of Qin Moyan, and gradually calmed down, but the nobility of the two noble ladies made her really ashamed, and said in a low voice: "I am from the other courtyard of the eldest princess of the Qin and Chu Kingdoms. , is in charge of Gou San's wife."

"You are the Lord's man?" Wang Qingzhu's eyes widened, and her tone was especially severe. She was still angry with Zhao Roujia, even though she knew it was her niece.

Qu Shi was already uneasy, and managed to calm down, but she didn't want to be startled by Wang Qingzhu, so she almost knelt down, and her whole body began to tremble again.

Youqin Mo Yan had no choice but to roll his eyes at Wang Qingzhu. The aura of a perennial superior, even a mere woman, is not something ordinary people can bear. Serve tea."

After speaking, he smiled apologetically at Mrs. Qu, and said in a gentle voice: "My lady, sit down and talk, don't pay attention to my eldest sister."

Wang Qingzhu was a little embarrassed, and also felt that she was too strong and frightened others, so she managed to force a smile and said, "My lady, don't blame me, I'm used to being careless when dealing with those stinky men."

Qu Shi didn't want the two imperial orders to be so kind and cordial, even though they didn't dare, they couldn't stop Youqin Moyan from asking, Shi Shi cautiously half-sat down, Li Caiwei was flustered as she served the tea, for fear of making a joke out of herself.

"Okay, what's the matter with us, my lady?" Youqin Mo Yan chatted casually for a few words to let Qu Shi settle down, and then turned to the main topic of the conversation.

Qu put down the exquisite colored glaze teacup in a hurry, and said in a soft voice: "This concubine has a big deal, but I dare not tell others. I want to see an official and I am in the way of a woman. After much deliberation, I can only come to Wang Xianggong's mansion rashly, looking for the county. Make it clear, ma'am."

What he said is reasonable, a woman has important matters and she doesn't know the situation, so it is absolutely impossible to report to the government, but it can make people bold enough to report to the mansion, which is enough to make Youqin Moyan and Wang Qingzhu fearful.

"Don't worry, lady, just speak slowly." Wang Qingzhu tried to calm herself down.
