At the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was a feudal town, but in Western Europe

"Four."

"Okay, okay, okay!"

"Very good." Li Baojing stood up, "I still have work to do, so I can't accompany you, so I leave."

"Here."

Looking at the back of Li Baojing striding away, Oswald let out a long breath: "That woman is really amazing, I still feel my heart pounding."

"Be careful what you say." Frasen reminded, "Although the commander-in-chief didn't say anything, this is probably the commander-in-chief's concubine."

Walking out of the hut, Li Baojing stepped into the carriage with steady steps. She put down the veiled cap on her head until she entered the carriage, breathed a sigh of relief, and used a small comb to straighten her black hair.

A white savage maid leaned on her shoulder: "Ma'am, today's negotiation is not going well?"

Li Baojing shook his head, and the golden bell on the hairpin rang loudly: "That's not true, both of them have body odor, I'm almost suffocated inside, so I can only come out first."

"Ma'am, where are we going now?"

"Isn't there a West Britain bank shop here? Let's check the accounts." Li Baojing took out a bronze mirror and adjusted his collar and skirts in front of the mirror.

The little maidservant of the white barbarian said distressedly: "Mother, let's sleep for a while, you see that you have dark circles under your eyes, and your face is much haggard than before."

Li Baojing said indifferently: "The Commander-in-Chief trusts him, and he has the responsibility. Besides, it is rare for a woman to be an official, so she can't mess around."

After comforting the little maid, Li Baojing leaned on the chair of the carriage and began to close her eyes to rest, but she still couldn't help thinking about it.

The year before last, the West Britain Company turned from loss to profit, and its income continued to rise.

But it is a pity that following the signal of King Offa, the nobles from all over Mercia imposed heavy taxes on the merchants of the West Britain Company, and they were even not allowed to buy wool in markets other than London.

This led to a sharp decline in profits. In order to seize new opportunities, find market pain points, and discover new blue oceans, under the instructions of Li Baojing, West Britain Company played the route of commodity trading again. This route was also played by the later Hanseatic League.

Merchants and freedmen along the main waterways of various places joined the West Britain Company one after another. The company registered more than [-] merchant ships, including [-] of Feng Sen's own dragon head warships.

There are more than a dozen docks lined up along the Alster River. In Hamburg, on average, at least one boat is launched every month.

When Li Baojing left, she even saw a sailboat that was more than twice the size of the largest dragon warship drying pine tar in the shade, making final preparations before launching.

These registered merchants provided Feng Sen with a large amount of shipping capacity and sailors, and together with the passbooks of the West Britain bank, the merchants finally did not have to carry heavy goods and currency to barter everywhere.

Of course, Feng Sen is quite far-sighted. The passbooks issued by West Britain are all backed by reserves and mortgaged by the equity of the mine, for fear that something will happen.

Under the influence of the West Britain Company, Hamburg's commercial development has been at an astonishing speed. Basically, it has become the most important trade center in the North German Plain.

Among them, Li Baojing contributed a lot. You must know that Feng Sen, in addition to controlling the general direction, directly threw the West Britain Company to Li Baojing, and then went to Kaiyin Party.

A lot of things weighed on Li Baojing's head. She was moved by Feng Sen's trust in her, but also very dissatisfied with Feng Sen's behavior of letting go of the shopkeeper. She wished to directly smash those messy things in his face and yelled that the old lady didn't care.

"I want you to look good when I get back to Hamburg." Li Baojing clenched his tender fists bitterly.

Chapter 367 Li Baojing on

Li Baojing, who came back from Hannover, did not return to his small home, but asked the groom to turn his horse around and went to Wangjiao King Sima's mansion.

Wang Sima's mansion is also in the inner city, occupying a large area. In addition to a pair of couplets in front of the gate, there are two boy servants guarding the gate.

The boy servant obviously recognized Li Baojing. After all, she had not been here for a day or two. When she got off the carriage, a servant naturally brought out pasture and water to feed the horses.

As soon as you enter the Wang's mansion, you will see peach blossoms all over the garden, and a middle-aged lady in a goose-yellow dress is lying on the stone table and dozing, with a thread-bound book and a bottle of peach blossom wine beside her.

She said she was dozing off, but the woman was just taking a nap. When she heard the movement at the door, she raised her head and a smile appeared on her face.

"I'm going to bother you again, Sister Chu." Li Baojing walked to Wang Chu's side with a smile, and hugged her arm.

This Mrs. Chu is the Ma Chu family of Ma County Magistrate of Shuyan County who came here with Li Baojing.

At the beginning, Mrs. Ma was in charge of handling paperwork in the general's mansion, and she hooked up with Wang Sima after going back and forth. Last winter, when Feng Sen was in Villetti, the two got married, and Feng Sen's Aunt Zhu presided over it.

"Why did you come back to me instead of seeing Feng Lang whom you miss so much?" Mrs. Chu teased.

Li Baojing's face was a little red: "Oh, I shouldn't have told sister Chu about this, and let her make fun of me every day."

Mrs. Chu laughed and said: "How dare you make fun of our Li Shucheng, those businessmen and officials, seeing you is like a mouse meeting a cat."

"Sister Chu~"

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Chu patted Li Baojing's head lovingly, "However, Bao Jinger, you are over 20 this year, you are an old lady, if you really like the handsome, you should mention it.

As long as you have this intention, you can worship my family as a teacher or foster father, which happens to be able to help you propose a marriage and have a natal family. "

"No hurry." Li Baojing said with a smile, "If I get married, what will happen to the West Britain Company? What will the Audit Office do? After all these things are over, I will ask my sister to help."

Mrs. Chu nodded Li Baojing's head: "You little girl, why do you want more power than those men."

Touching Li Baojing's head, Mrs. Chu couldn't help being a little worried. She couldn't see the hidden dangers here. It would be fine if Baojing'er fell in love with someone else, but if she married Jieshuai, how would those courtiers deal with Li Langguan?

Sighing lightly, the two sat at the table and talked about boudoir talk and what happened to Li Baojing. After all, Mrs. Chu was well-informed, and sometimes she could even give Li Baojing a few words.

The two talked all the way from morning to noon, and Li Baojing didn't leave until the sun was shining brightly.

Wearing a veiled hat at the door is to prevent those men from seeing her appearance, losing respect for her or even being distracted. There is no way to do this.

Although the women of the Tang Dynasty have a high status, but there are still many locals here, Li Baojing still has to make some compromises for the sake of reputation.

After leaving the gate of Wang Sima's mansion, Li Baojing frowned as soon as he looked up.

In front of the carriage, three businessmen with West Britain badges were standing respectfully, apparently waiting for her.

Li Baojing's voice turned cold in an instant. She stepped forward, and after three steps away, she said coldly: "A certain private traveler, are you waiting here to force a car?"

The smiles on the faces of the three people froze in an instant, and the unfriendly eyes of the two soldiers beside Li Baojing flicked over them, and the legs of the three people were about to go limp.

A tall businessman stepped forward reluctantly: "Don't blame Li Shucheng, I was passing by here and saw Li Shucheng's car. I wanted to visit, but I didn't expect to disturb the aunt. I will retreat, I will retreat."

Li Baojing snorted coldly, and the three hurried away.

"Go home." Li Baojing sat down and said to the groom after stepping on the small stool and getting into the carriage.

"Master, just now a servant sent by the commander-in-chief asked you to go to the general's mansion and said that he was looking for you for something."

"Oh, then let's go to the general's mansion." Li Baojing took off his veil and hat, took out the bronze mirror again, and illuminated the mirror with the light.

The white barbarian maid named Xiangyun squeezed over: "Ma'am, I found a note in the gap of the car window. I don't know who put it in. It's full of Chinese characters and I can't read it."

"Let me see."

After taking the note, there were several Chinese characters and numbers on it. Li Baojing's eyes froze. She quickly took out a book of Yin Fu Jing from her purse, and compared the numbers to select four words.

"Jieshuai knows."

Taking a deep breath, Li Baojing took out the torch and lit the note. She squinted her eyes halfway, listening to the sound of wheels rolling by her ear, and said nothing.

Li Baojing didn't say a single word until the carriage stopped at the gate of Jiangfu.

After getting out of the carriage, the sky was a bit gloomy. It was bright and sunny just now, but after noon, the sky suddenly turned gloomy, and thick dark clouds had gathered.

A few drops of rain fell on the back of Li Baojing's hands. She looked up at the sky, the mountain wind before the rain blew her veil, and her perfectly curved chin was looming at the lower end of the veil.

"Aunt Li." Wei Xunzhi came to greet him at the door. With a smile on his face, he bowed three steps away, "I sent someone to look for Aunt Li's mansion before, but I didn't expect Aunt Li to go to Sima Wang's mansion. Marshal Jie is looking for you, please come with me."

After being silent for about a second, Li Baojing sighed and said, "I also ask Secretary Wei to lead the way for my concubine."

Passed through the long corridor that Li Baojing had walked countless times, and stood in front of a study that Li Baojing was familiar with.

Li Baojing gently stroked the pillars on the corridor, while Wei Xunzhi knocked on the door.

"Come in." Feng Sen's voice came out.

The two walked into the study together, and the study was still the same as when Li Baojing left, nothing changed.

Behind the long table, Feng Sen held a piece of armor with a small dot in the middle, and looked carefully at the sunlight. When he saw Li Baojing approaching, he put down the piece of nails.

"Li Shucheng is here." Feng Sen pointed to the chair in front of him, "Sit down, sit down."

After calming down, Li Baojing sat down on the upholstered chair with a spring-like smile on his face: "I don't know why Jieshuai is looking for a concubine?"

Feng Sen said with a smile: "Queen Fastrada recently held a banquet in Friesland and invited nearby nobles, including nobles and priests from Friesland and Austrasia.

You are familiar with Friesland, and you also happened to go together. One is that you have been tired recently and went there to have fun and rest, and the other is that when you happen to communicate with the locals, you can be my advisor. "

Li Baojing's voice trembled a little: "What about the affairs of the Audit Office and the West Britain Company?"

"You let go of these first and let those assistants do it. Otherwise, I have spent so much money and raised so many people for so many years, and it will be in vain."

"Jie Shuai, when we come back from Friesland, am I going to step down from office?"

"How do you know?" Feng Sen was surprised at first, and then complained, "Okay, this old Wang, every day he said that the people below tipped off the news, and I don't think he can keep his mouth shut... Baojing?"

The rain outside the window was pattering on the pane, and it was almost indistinguishable from the sound of Li Baojing's tears falling to the ground.

Chapter 368 Feng Sen: You actually want my body?!

If you want to say whether Li Baojing has thought about this day, then he must have thought about it. How could someone as smart as her not understand?

She knew what Mrs. Chu meant. She had been immersed in the royal family for so many years. As the most beloved eldest daughter of Tang Dezong Li Shi, Li Baojing couldn't think of this, it was just that she didn't want to think about it.

Back then, Li Baojing was betrothed by Li Shi to the secretary and junior supervisor Wei You. Before the wedding could be held, Zhu Xi's army had already entered Chang'an.

In the original historical line, Princess Zhenmu Li Baojing will die of illness on the way. Li Shi is very sad. On the way, he did not forget to build a tomb for her, which is the tomb of Princess Tang'an, an important archaeological site for later generations.

But in this world line, Li Baojing was teleported to Saxony before he could escape with his father.

As for why she claimed to be Li Sheng's niece, it was because Li Sheng was a general of the Shence Army and often met the saint, so Li Baojing could also meet this famous general.

When she first arrived in Saxony, Li Baojing was both terrified and relieved. She didn't reveal the identity of the princess immediately, but she was afraid that Feng Sen would have some malicious intentions towards her.

But what she never imagined was that Feng Sen didn't take a fancy to her identity or appearance, but let her rely on her own talents without any personal feelings, and gradually rose to the shogunate, almost second only to Wang Sima and Zhenhui's group of important ministers.

The Audit Office has grown from scratch, the West Britain bank has grown from scratch, and the expansion and development of the West Britain Company are all her painstaking efforts.

Now that she is the daughter of the Li family, she can still show her face in public. What if she marries Feng Sen?Can it still be like this?Not to mention that she still has the status of the orthodox royal family of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Baojing's original idea was not to marry for life or wait for her to finish everything, and after that time, marry Feng Sen as if she had retired.

As for marrying someone else, Li Baojing occasionally thought about it, but in the end he still couldn't make up his mind. Inexplicably, it seemed that the only choice left was to marry Feng Sen or never marry.

Is it because of what?Getting along day and night in the study, teaching each other?National scholar treatment in official appointments?In Li Baojing's heart, the original greatest emotion was the kindness of the monarch and ministers that "a scholar dies for his confidant".

It's just that the kindness of the monarch and his ministers changed a little bit later.

If it weren't for Feng Sen's important use, Li Baojing would not have had the ambition to enter the history books with his talents and deeds instead of his identity.

Li Baojing once believed what Feng Sen said. He was blind and couldn't distinguish between male and female beauty and ugliness.

Well, everything that was said before is a lie.

Then what is the meaning of her "love" between monarch and minister?

Then she went all the way to collect the child army and orphans to form the Audit Office, the tears shed by other departments in the Audit Office, staying up all night for the accounts of the West Britain Bank, and running around for the West Britain Company...

What's the point?It's better to tell the truth from the beginning, it's better to be a puppet in the deep palace than it is now.

Regarding the possibility of being discovered by Feng Sen as a princess, and then forced to marry directly to obtain the name of the Tang royal family, Li Baojing had thought about it a long time ago, and had also made psychological preparations, but when the facts fell before her eyes, all the grievances still made her unable to bear it. Tears fell.

"No, I didn't dismiss you. I just took a break. When I come back, I have a more important position for you." Feng Sen walked behind Li Baojing inexplicably, stroking her back softly.

Feeling Feng Sen's intimate movements, Li Baojing's shoulders trembled slightly, and she understood Feng Sen's meaning.

After making up his mind, Li Baojing held back his tears and asked sadly, "If Marshal Jie wants to marry me, would it be before or after going to Friesland?"

"When did I say I want to marry you?" Feng Sen was dumbfounded.

Li Baojing's eyes widened, and he looked at Feng Sen.

"Who told you that I want to marry you? Wang Sima?" Feng Sen also widened his eyes, looking directly at Li Baojing's watery red eyes, "Even if I want to marry you, there should be an elder to propose marriage, you and I In this case, it belongs to private life.

Although I don't think it matters, Aunt Zhu and the others will have an opinion. As far as I have a private life with Gisela and Arvo before, and there is no wedding, Aunt Zhu has nagged me for a long time. "

"But, but, don't you know that I am Princess Tang An?"

Feng Sen's eyes froze, and his soft voice became a bit cold: "Who told you?"

Opening his mouth, Li Baojing murmured, "Our Audit Office has to be a bit of a scumbag when it comes to monitoring the shogunate officials. The spies went to investigate. Today someone stuffed a note into my carriage, saying that you already knew about it..."

"Oh——" Feng Sen's cold voice turned slightly, "You are a royal princess, I already knew about it, about three months ago, and a former court lady recognized you."

"That, that..."

"You supervise the Internal Audit Office by yourself, and you also manage the West Britain Company and the bank. Guess how many people have written letters saying that your powers are too complicated and you have too many things? And you are so caught, it really doesn't distinguish between public and private."

Feng Sen took out a piece of paper from one side, "I am going to reorganize the Audit Office, change it to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and appoint Cui Xutuo as the censor.

And with the development of our workshop, we must make an overall plan for those workshop industries, commerce, forests and mines and other resources, so I decided to build a Shaofu.
