Traveling through the Prosperous Pastoral of Peasant Girls

Chapter 64
Chapter 66 Brilliant Court
Later, the emperor and the eldest prince saw that persuasion was useless, so they had to confer Jin Yang as Sanyi Doctor Ping Sanpin, and Liu Tao as Princess Taiping. The first silver medal is equal to the third-rank guard of honor for officials in the DPRK and China, and officials below the third rank will see it as a superior official ceremony.

That's all for Jin Yang, Liu Tao is Princess Taiping, comparable to the emperor's goddaughter, the emperor's grace is so great, Liu Tao's status is even more respected than Jin Yang.

Seeing that they are big merchants and don't care about money, the royal family gave their elders the highest honor, conferring Grandma Jinyang the title of Nanguoyuan Monarch, with only an honorary title, no title and no salary.Jin Yang's parents are Doctor Glory and Mrs. Glory.Liu Tao's grandparents are the national protector Wailang and Mrs. Hu Guo, and Liu Tao's parents are Doctor Rongzun and Mrs. Rongzun, both of whom, like Grandma Jin Yang, respect no rank and no salary on the surface.

The First Prince was afraid that the two of them would evade it if they knew about it, so he sent officials to Goudong Village with the imperial decree and rewards to declare the decree.

Seeing that the two returned safely, the whole family was relieved. Later, the emperor sent someone to announce the decree, and the joy was even more joyful.Because Jin Yang went out with the army and made meritorious service, this time he received the honor bestowed by the court, which can be said to have brought glory to the family.

Jin Yang complained to Liu Tao in private: "Tao'er, this old emperor is too ignorant, he should give you Princess Shuangzishan, isn't this Princess Taiping too ugly?"

Liu Tao didn't understand what he meant at first, until Jin Yang gestured to her the two virtual lumps of flesh on her chest, then she suddenly thought about it, and she was so angry that she yelled: "Brother Jin Yang, don't you think you are despicable?" Obscene? You big bastard...."

Jin Yang dodged his small fist, "haha" and ran away with a smile.

Some ministers knew that the two had a marriage contract, but they lived in the same mansion, so they had some misconceptions.There are also people who see Jin Zhan's youth, wealth and status, many people are rushing to marry their daughters to him, and entrust someone to propose marriage.It's a pity that she and Wu'er pushed out of the mansion directly when they passed Liu Tao's level.

After the second uncle humiliated Liu Tao and his wife that time, he heard from the servants that they dropped the gift when they went out, and the father and son were very satisfied with what they did.As for the poor ghosts from their hometown, they don't have to deal with them if they can. In this way, they drove away no less than ten poor relatives.

However, later on, I heard that Liu Tao and the others really bought Gan Wang's mansion, but I just guessed that they bought it with other people's money, guessed that they were just hired by others to work for others.

Later, I heard that the two of them had a very good relationship with the eldest prince and the fourth princess. Even being a prince and princess, they often visited Prince Gan's mansion.The snacks and leather jackets and boots they made are number one in the whole country. Many merchants followed suit and imitated them, and a lot of money went into their pockets continuously.

However, other people's shoemaking and leather clothing workshops do not have Jinfu's unique sewing machines, and the quality has not been improved.At this time, they regretted it a little. If they hadn't been turned away at the beginning, they would definitely be able to ask for a sewing machine now. His family also deals in clothes and footwear, and their products were very satisfactory at first, but He Jinfu Even the eldest daughter wore leather clothes and boots made by Jinfu. It would be great if my workshop could use a sewing machine!It's good now, they already have the eldest prince as their backer, so there's no need to cling to their own family anymore.

This time Jin Lian came back from the battlefield, but he didn't want to award him a reward, he only asked for the silver medal of the third rank in a symbolic way. Is that because the family has too much money?The father and son are not calm this time, but they are afraid that they will be humiliated when they come to the door, so they can't go forward to curry favorably.

The two of them relaxed, and began to plan for future development on this day.As soon as they started, Wu'er told them that some distinguished guests had arrived, and they went out to see that it was the eldest prince who was visiting again.

He seemed to be passing by here and suddenly had the idea to stop by. He asked about some trivial matters, including whether the bed crossbow could not be changed to make it lighter, and the approximate amount of refined iron used in a set of bed crossbows.

When he was about to go back after lingering in the Jin Mansion for half the morning, Liu Tao called to him: "Prince, don't leave yet, I have two bunches of grapes, can you please bring them to the fourth princess?"

It is already the beginning of September, and Liu Tao picked the beauty with the strongest stems and picked a few bunches of grape seedlings to see the effect. Today, I picked a few bunches back when I saw that they were ripe, and waited for the fourth princess who will come to her in the next few days Because she couldn't get her due to something, she planned to ask the eldest prince to take her back.These grape golden seedlings followed Liu Tao's suggestion, and cut off the grapes on the upper layer that might catch the seeds in advance when they bloomed and set fruits, in order to prevent the grape seeds from spreading out. , it is not a good thing for their own grapes to sell at high prices.

While Jin Yang shouted "good idea" to her suggestion, he also smiled and called her a "profiteer" and accused him of getting his head into money.

The eldest prince asked puzzledly; "Isn't it just grapes, the palace still lacks these things, no need..."

"Prince, don't you know how good our grapes are?"

"How good can it be? Can it be better than the royal tribute grapes?" Faced with the eldest prince's question, Liu Tao didn't want to argue with him, and asked Wu'er to fetch the grapes.

"Ah, how come there are grapes of this shape and such a big size in the world?"

After he ate a grain, he immediately exclaimed: "Wow Kaka, these grapes are so sweet, there are no seeds in them, and you planted them?"

"Of course, this is also the variety that Brother Jinyang brought back from overseas. There are more than 30 acres of vineyards in the west of the yard?"

"In the future, you don't need to work so hard to sell such grapes. The royal family will wrap them up, and let the Ministry of Internal Affairs directly pull the cart away..."

"Prince, it's a pity that this year is not available. If you want to eat, you have to wait until next year?"

Hearing that there will be no more this year, the First Prince sighed with regret?Later, he took the grapes back to the palace, but his two most beloved concubines tasted a few and begged to take them away. The fourth princess didn't know until the next year when Liutao's grape harvest was abundant. .

Because another [-] cows were bought back, the production of milk increased again, and the production of war preparations began. market.In addition to handing these to the Ma sisters, the two thought of cracking down on the thief who used their own goods to bully the market.Jin Yang first received Liu Guangjun who came to visit with five people. Liu Guangjun brought five shrewd and martial arts soldiers with him. They were members of the guards who had been assigned to Jin Yang.

This time, the invasion of the North was pacified, and there was no threat of war. There was no need for the country's army to support so many people. Those who were disabled due to injuries, those who were over the age limit, and those who did not want to continue to serve could apply for discharge.

Jin Yang’s 300-person guard left these six people, and the rest died while charging or defending him in the war. When Jin Yang returned to the capital, he first comforted the family members of the victims, and in the honor of the court, Privately brought a comfort money of [-] taels of silver to each family.

This time Liu Guangjun joined several people to retire together, and they all came to work for this benevolent military adviser. Jin Yang saw that they were all smart and capable, and had saved him several times on the battlefield, so he regarded them as trustworthy confidants and assigned some For critical jobs, the monthly salary is not low.

Zhang Sheng was the only one missing among them. When Zhang Sheng retired from the military, he told Liu Guangjun that before he went to the battlefield, he learned that his wife was pregnant.

For the imperial tomb soldiers guarding the gate, Jin Yang told the eldest prince that they don't have to come again. With Liu Guangjun and others guarding the gate, they are much stronger than them.

Now that the weather is getting cooler and the seasons are changing, leather sandals are about to give up the market for leather boots, and Jinfu workshops are producing leather boots in large quantities.The caravans of the second brother-in-law and Mr. Xu both sell goods to the surrounding areas of the capital. It is easy to form a vacuum zone for their own goods in the capital. Therefore, there are small batches of wholesales to traveling merchants, but the quantity is very small.

On the first day they came to the Golden Mansion, they entered and exited the Golden Mansion from the back. On the second day, Liu Guangjun and two of his men went out through the back door to a distance, and then went around to the side door from a distance to join the leather boots. Purchase ranks.Traveling merchants like them only buy more than ten pairs of shoes each time. The purchase of more than 150 pairs was insignificant, but for no reason, I received intimidating looks from several people who also came to buy the goods.

On the third day, they came again, this time they were blocked by several people not far from the Jin Mansion, and one of the tall ones scolded them: "Where did you come from, why don't you know the rules?"

"What rules, we don't understand what you say?"

"What are you planning to do? If you do it often, I will tell you the rules..."

The two said modestly: "Would you like to hear the details?"

"Since you want to do it, the rules are like this. From now on, you are not allowed to enter the Golden Mansion to stock up. You can only go to the warehouse of Mr. Jia in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to stock up."

"Why is that?"

"Don't worry about why, those who don't obey the rules will have their legs broken and their goods taken away... This is the rule."

"Then, is the price the same as here?"

"Of course it's different. The price of each pair of shoes is increased by half tael to one tael. You are new here, so you have to increase the price by more than one tael."

The news was fed back to the two of them. This time they knew that Su Huan's words were absolutely true, and hurriedly arranged the next move.
