Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 308 The Blessing of the Qi People (Part [-])
Chapter 313 The Blessing of Qi People

Mobile preparations are used in case of accidents.Du Cong is not actually the person who manages Ran Ming's money and food. In fact, he is just a supervisor, and Chen Ying is in charge of management.

When Du Cong was looking at the account book, Chen Ying said without hesitation: "Your Highness, there are still 350 taels of gold in the account in the mansion!"

Seven thousand gold is 7000 million yuan. To feed a servant, one needs to eat [-] yuan of grain and vegetables a year. If clothes and daily money are included, it will cost more than [-] yuan.

Ran Ming thought for a while and said, "Spend five thousand gold and find someone to buy five hundred young and strong servants."

Du Cong gestured and said: "Your Majesty has attracted much attention from all parties, if you suddenly buy five hundred young men, I'm afraid you will suffer a lot of criticism!

Ran Ming said distressedly: "But you also saw that there are too few people in the mansion, and there is no way to deal with emergencies. I don't want to be slaughtered by others, so I can only increase my strength to protect myself!"

"If you want to protect yourself, there is no way!" Chen Ying said with a smile, "If the Lord wants to have an unknown force in Jiankang, why not hide the soldiers and the people!"

"Hiding soldiers among the people!" Ran Ming said thoughtfully, "How to hide soldiers among the people?"

Chen Yingdao: "Let's start a chariot and horse shop. All the chariot dealers need are young and strong men who can drive chariots and horses. So in this way, the master can hold a considerable force in his hands!"

Chen Ying's words lit up Ran Ming's mind like a bolt of lightning.

Chen Ying's method is quite feasible.Although all the major families in Jiankang supported chariots and horses and followers, some families could not afford to support servants, but needed chariots and horses to decorate their appearance.The carriages of this era are almost equivalent to the Mercedes-Benz BMWs of later generations. It is conceivable that if you really open a shop that rents out or sells carriages and horses, the business will definitely not be bad!
But as a traveler, I also discovered a very important phenomenon.

It's been almost two years since he was reborn, yet Ran Ming didn't find the sedan chair.

Whether it is Wei State or Jin State, most people in Wei State use that kind of carriage when traveling, while Jin State lacks horses, and most of them use ox carts.Even a noble family like the Xie family has a large number of ox carts. Although there are horse carts, they are only used by important people.

The original name of the sedan chair is "Yu". The earliest record can be found in Sima Qian's "Historical Records", which shows that there were sedan chairs as early as the Spring and Autumn Period.In the Jin and Six Dynasties, Jianyu, that is, a sedan chair carried by people, was popular.In the later Tang and Five Dynasties, the name of "sedan sedan chair" began to exist.However, until the Northern Song Dynasty, the sedan chair was only used by the royal family.The sedan chair really spread and became a common tool. It was only when Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty abolished the order to ride the sedan chair, that it spread.

Ran Ming thought of setting up a sedan chair shop and renting out sedan chairs.

In his later life, Ran Ming once went to Kaifeng to do errands, and met a newlyweds in the local area who adopted the ancient wedding etiquette, a full set of honor guards, and a wedding team of more than 100 people, which was much more popular than those BMW and Audi teams.

What's more, there is another advantage of this sedan chair line, it needs many people!

At least two small sedan chairs are needed for two people, and there are also sedan chairs for four people and sedan chairs for eight people. If more than 100 high, medium and low-grade sedan chairs are made, thousands of people can be accommodated.

Ran Ming thought of this, with a smile on his face, he took a pen, and recalled the sedan chair carried by two people, the sedan chair carried by four people, and the sedan chair carried by eight people in the memory of later generations. The kind of warm sedan chair with braids facing it.

Ran Ming said: "Go and get the money, and recruit a large number of carpenters in Jiankang City to build this kind of sedan chair, and at the same time recruit bearers! All of them will be bought out, and they will become Ran's private slaves! "

Chen Ying nodded and turned to leave to arrange these things!

The court of the Jin Dynasty exerted this super-high efficiency, and the Honglu Temple reached Yecheng in just over ten days at a speed of almost 150 miles per day.

The empress dowagers proposed that Xie's daughter-in-law be conferred the title of Princess Dajin and marry the King of Jiaodong. After thinking about it, Empress Dong felt that Xie Daoyun's conditions were quite generous, so she agreed!

But when Empress Dong promulgated the Queen's Edict, she suddenly thought of Tiaoyou's granddaughter. This is a very cautious question.According to the system, the vassal king can marry a queen, who is the main wife, and then has three side concubines. Only the children of these four are considered the vassal king's legitimate sons!
Don't underestimate the difference between the original and the vice, the difference is huge.

The queen is the master of the harem of the vassal king, just like the queen of a country, she not only walks, eats and lives with the vassal king at the same time.The qualification to live together, other side concubines and concubines, if they want to sleep with the vassal king, they need the queen's (princess) approval!

Emotionally speaking, Empress Dong must be familiar with Tiao You, not to mention that she has also met this girl, Stripe, who is well-versed in books and well-dressed, she is the best candidate for Queen Jiaodong.

But Empress Dong also knew that the Xie family in Chenjun was different from the general gentry. She had heard the rumors that Wang Xie was as famous as Wang Sima, and that Wang Sima ruled the world.If Tiaoyou is the queen and Mrs. Xie is the side concubine, I am afraid Mrs. Xie will not follow her.

When I was in a dilemma, I had no choice but to ask Ran Min for advice.

Ran Min rescued more than 25 captured Han people from the country of Yan. It took more than [-] days from Changli County to Yecheng, and finally returned to Yecheng years ago.

The crown prince has supervised the country for more than three months, and there are many problems that need to be dealt with by Ran Min.After Ran Min's return, the grand court meeting was held for a whole day before the courtiers dispersed one after another.

Now Ran Min is dealing with major political affairs, almost every day is very late, and sometimes he can't sleep for two hours.Empress Dong personally cooked a pot of millet porridge for Ran Min. She brought the millet porridge to the imperial study room. At this time, the memorials on Ran Min's desk that needed his approval were piled up three feet high. Looking at the thick memorials, Dong The queen felt distressed for a while!
"Your Majesty, the Empress, please see me!"

Ran Min got up, feeling dizzy for a while, and it took him a while to recover.

Ran Min said: "The queen please come in!"

Empress Dong walked in slowly and came to Ran Min. She was blessed and said: "Your Majesty, this concubine knows that His Majesty stays up all night to make you sad, so I cooked your favorite millet porridge!"

Ran Min smiled and said, "Jingjing knows me best!"

Ran Min took the millet porridge, tested the temperature, and felt that it was just right, so he drank it loudly, and drank almost a liter of rice porridge in one go, Ran Min said: "Jingjing is too late, you should go back and rest!"

Empress Dong murmured: "Your Majesty still knows how to persuade your ministers and concubines to rest, why don't you rest a little longer, look at you, your eyes are covered with bloodshot eyes, if this continues, no matter how strong your body is, you will pass!"

Ran Min said confidently: "My body, I know best, it's fine, my body is still strong. Don't worry! By the way, Jingpu, is there anything else?"

Empress Dong sighed and said, "It's not about tomorrow!"

Ran Min asked, "What's the matter?"

Empress Dong said: "Ming'er is too ignorant to have an affair with the daughter of the Xie family when she is not married. Now the daughter of the Xie family is still pregnant, and father Xie is still hitting the door. Fortunately, the empress dowagers know the general situation. Now that the daughter of the Xie family is registered as Princess Xin'an, she will be married to Ming'er!"

In fact, Ran Min didn't have the energy to take care of these trivial matters, the prince's marriage, etc., and the queen was in charge. When Ran Min heard that Ran Ming had actually made daughter Xie's belly bigger, he laughed loudly and said, "My son is really amazing!"

Empress Dong gave Ran Min a blank look, and said angrily, "Your Majesty, what do you think about this matter?"

"What should I do? It's not easy, marry!" Ran Min said: "Marry, our Ran family can finally be worthy of a Xie family from Chenjun!"

Empress Dong said, "What about the stripes?"

Ran Min didn't have any doubts: "Marry, just marry them together!"

"But, who will be the master and who will be the side?"

"Who is the wife and who is the concubine?" This question gave Ran Min a lot of headaches.Both wives and concubines bear the responsibility of having children. Although the responsibilities are the same, the treatment and status are very different.

A wife is for marriage, and a concubine is for acceptance.The gift given by the man to the woman when marrying a wife is called dowry, while the property to be given when taking a concubine is only called concubine's capital.The children of the wife are called the sons and daughters of the concubine, who have the right to inherit the title and wealth of the father, while the children born to the concubine are only considered as concubines. The children go out of the house and go out to make a living.

During the period of the Three Kingdoms, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao hated each other mainly because of the difference between the two. As the son of the eldest son, Yuan Shu certainly did not bully Yuan Shao less. Therefore, Yuan Shao hated Yuan Shu, and even hated Cao Cao.

Because of the disparity between wives and concubines, Ran Min is not easy to make a decision, after all, compared to him, Tiao You has more meritorious support from the dragon. In the first month of 48 A.D., after Shi Jian ordered General Sun Fu of Zhao Longxiang to kill Ran Min Min and Sun Fu were both defeated by Ran Min, but were killed by Ran Min. Then Ran Min led his troops into the Hou Zhao Palace, and Kun Hua Palace killed all six sons of Shi Hu.Immediately, Lu Chen (Liu Kun's nephew, Liu Qun's cousin, and Lu Yan's father) Tiaoyou, the cavalry general Hu Mu, Sikong Shipu, Shangshu Ling Xuji, servant Li Lin, and Shaofu Wang Yu immediately followed. , Shangshu Liu Qin, Liu Xiu and other [-] people have Ran Min as the emperor, establish the Great Wei, and change the Yuan Qinglong!

Now Hu Kui, Xu Ji, Li Lin, Wang Yu, Liu Qin, Liu Xiu, Lu Chen and others were all killed in battle, and the 48 founding fathers were only Dong Run, Zhang Wen, Liu Qun and others. For these people, Ran Min's feelings are quite deep.Ran Min is happy to see Tiao You getting closer and marrying his children, but he doesn't want Tiao You to be his concubine.And a high-ranking high-ranking family like the Xie family in Chenjun would not allow their daughter to be someone else's concubine.

The palm and the back of the hand are all meat.Ran Min was also in a dilemma, he asked Empress Dong: "Jingjing, what do you think?"

"There is no small matter in the Tian family. If this matter is not handled properly, it will cause hatred between the two families!" Empress Dong thought for a while and said, "Why don't you let Ming'er follow the example of the king of Qi in Spring and Autumn and marry three wives?" !"

Ran Min said: "Jun Qi wanted to have three heirs, but he died before the matter was accomplished. There is no precedent for such a thing. How can it be the first of its kind?"

"Then how to solve this matter?" Queen Dong asked.
