Tang Dynasty good man

Chapter [-] Fangs

The mother-in-law is coming, this is indeed the most important thing that sons-in-law can hardly avoid in the world, the high law of identity is put aside for now, even the Ninth Five-Year Lord has to perform family rituals when meeting the mother-in-law, although I am not as nervous as I am now, but Inevitably similar in mood.

The house had to be resettled, and the main room was vacated for the driver. Fortunately, the kang was in the wing room at that time, so I didn't have to move my nest. It was a blessing in misfortune.Several maidservants are working together to try to drive away the crows (shrikes, known for their ugly voices) that are going to nest on the big tree in the back house, but the trees are so tall and branchy that it is difficult to work. After a while, it was later discovered that these ugly, erect creatures had limited capabilities, were not threatening, and continued the housing project defiantly.

There is also a leaky eaves. The second lady personally stepped up the ladder to dig out the sparrow nest. I heard from Ying that her mother disliked this kind of small bird the most. They scurry on the eaves and like to push down the excrement in the nest. It is not spring. Dare to sit under the eaves and do needlework, this is my mother's greatest hobby.

It seems that it is not easy to serve, people have not come yet, even the sparrow tenants who have been in love with each other for many years have been ransacked and wiped out. It is a pity to look at the swallow nests above the head. Over the years, we have formed a deep friendship with these nests of swallows , I come here every year at the end of February to have children. When there is enough food, I even know to put a few bugs on the windowsill as a thank you gift. Although I don't eat that thing, I still get it.

"Let's let these nests of swallows go. Last year, they promised that they would not do their housework." Last year, the swallows confessed before leaving that the nests hung under the eaves for a long time and could not stand the wind, so I asked me to help drag a wooden plank underneath for reinforcement. Then the hatchback friends shed tears and bid farewell. This year is busy, and I haven't had time to reinforce it. Now I have to dig it out, which is a bit sad.

"En." Ying is very fond of these nests of swallows. Once the little swallows fell off and were stained with ants, they carefully picked them up and sent them back. "I heard from the housekeeper that the swallows have lived here for decades, and there is no reason to drive them away , " said the second lady and shouted down from the ladder, "Forget it, I will keep Queque for others, and I will keep a companion when there is no one in the house to bask in the sun. All the girls will go down, and everything in the house will remain the same."

After reciting the sound of Buddha, the merciful mother-in-law came over and I don’t know what else happened. From several encounters, it can be seen that she is not a good person to serve, or she would not have cultivated super-level talents like Ying and the fourth child. The girl joined in the fun enthusiastically, but I always felt that there was a bit of schadenfreude in her eyes. This girl is waiting for a joke.

"How many more days?" Ying didn't understand for a moment.I explained, "I mean when will the mother-in-law come?"

"It's coming soon, it will be fine within ten days before and after, my husband is in a hurry?"

"Don't worry, oh, worry! Forget it. I'll just ask, anyway, it's a good thing..." My second daughter is still poor, and I won't be treated so well when I have children in the future, but I'm lucky.If the second daughter's mother is really welcomed into the house, my God, Princess Gaoyang's grandeur... In this way, Ying is better.Quickly diverted the conversation, "You need to move around more, since you don't have to worry about it, go out for a longer walk after dinner, and go around the village twice before coming back."

Ying was very obedient, and called Er Niangzi and several maids.Before going out, he came back to pull me back, "My husband is going too, let's go."

Walking a hundred steps after the meal, I can live to 99, the second daughter and the needle nose also came out, the formation was a bit big, when the group went out, the butler was not at ease, and personally led a few people to follow behind.

"Where are we going to rob? Aren't you afraid that you will come out in full force and be cut off by the enemy and end up in your nest?"Obviously no professional military training.

Ying also felt a little too much.Even the second daughter was driven back, and only the second lady was left behind.This helped me to squirm forward.At this speed, Zhuangzi turned around until tomorrow morning, finally turned the corner, and was suggesting Ying to speed up his pace, when two figures flashed in his sight, one of them was very familiar, "There is an enemy!" He said and pulled Ying Backing behind the bend, the second lady got nervous and flew to protect the front, a very eccentric guy, only blocking Ying.

"God damn old thief," dragged back by the second lady, put Ying behind a tree, and looked around for a long time, "The old man dared to bring his helper, he has become a habit of visiting the camp every day!"

"Isn't it Prime Minister Liu?" Ying stuck to me and stood behind a tree and blew hot air on my neck, and laughed softly, "Recently, I've been running towards our village, which is a good thing."

"Ah, prime minister?" The second lady was a little at a loss after hearing this, "What do you mean..."

Ignoring the two of them, he kept watching the actions of Liu Rengui and his accomplices. The two of them walked towards the back of Zhuang after a bend, without seeing their faces clearly, and had no impression from behind.I planned to rush up to have a look, but I also brought a pregnant woman with me. Judging from the appearance of the two of them, the status of the accomplice is not low. If the meeting is an important court official, the etiquette is cumbersome and wordy...Let him go, "Let's turn around and go , go to Xinzhuangzi, and avoid meeting these two old guys."

Who, it’s not enough for one person, so ask another to be a companion. In this way, everyone wants to improve the quality of life in Zhuangzi, but the wealthy Zhuangzi is not my family, and Princess Lanling’s Zhuangzi is no worse than here , There is no need to visit me, very annoying guy.

"Didn't see clearly?"

"It's just a back, how can I see it clearly?" Chatting with Lan Ling brought this matter up, without taking it to heart, just talking casually.

"Oh, it doesn't matter. It's a good thing to like to watch. It proves that Liu Rengui appreciates your work." Lan Ling was very satisfied with his work, and was drawing a pattern on a large piece of silk, "He saw it, it's better than you talk about it." It’s useless, it’s impossible to ask him to turn this corner if there is no truth. Now that he can ask his companion to go with him, it means that his mind is active and he wants to find someone to reason with.” He gave me a white look, “It must be you You usually don't talk to Liu Rengui, if you can convince me like you did back then..."

"Stop!" This analogy is too disgusting, I'm not used to persuading the gentlemen like this, and I feel uncomfortable after listening to it. "It's too bad, the words have passed through your mind, why did you frown, what did you vomit, you have it too?"

"Disgusting." Lan Ling patted his chest, laughing profusely, "If you can't think about it, you'll go against it when you think about it. Forget it, let me show you something." He took out the blueprint from the desk and handed it over, " Check it out. How's it going?"

The building is generally designed, and it is still a Tang-style building. It is not advanced, and it is not very large in scale. It is neither a palace nor a forest garden. The proportion of rooms inside is too large, and the courtyard looks a little narrow.It's a very failed work, and I'm ashamed to let a well-informed person like me read it.

Throwing it aside, pouted, "What are you planning to build? A big house and a small house, and a few more can be changed into a prison cell in Dali Temple. The designer must look very wretched, and his brain is crawling with maggots."

"It's not that damaged." Seeing that I was about to crumple the paper ball, Lan Ling snatched back the tattered design. "It's not the place where you live. You still have a garden in the front yard and backyard? It's useless to criticize without asking what it's for. There's no such thing as you."

"Oh, that's true." Scratching his hair, "Are you planning to build a warehouse? There are third-rate brothels like this too. Just have more houses, nothing else, just efficiency."

"Very immoral!" As soon as he got started, he took a turn, "Open the Wan Guo Pavilion. It's such a dirty idea!"

"What Wanguo restaurant? Wonton, dumpling?" The mention of the restaurant made me a little hungry, and I was going to eat gourd tou after work at noon, but Cheng Chu came and said that according to my family's New Year's method, let the restaurant make seafood and try it. It doesn't matter, I will be full immediately, and I will vomit a little when I am full.Cheng Chu felt that he had lost face, and was about to smash someone's signboard.After persuading for a long time, I will compress the loss into a private room and smash it to pieces. The shopkeeper thought I had made a profit, and gave it to us both with a smile on his face.

"Foodie," Lan Ling pursed his lips and smiled, "The Wan Guo Pavilion is just a saying. Once the sea route is connected, there will always be strange things brought back. There will be more and more in the future. There are countries willing to do business to set up a facade and set up a shop. .We can also distinguish those yellow, brown and flowery ones."

"Don't spoil other people's envoys in China, and you will be laughed at when you say it," I have been doing this business for a long time, and I always feel a little hairy when I say it from Lanling's mouth. She means that she has black hair and she doesn't allow others to have hairy hair. This was recorded by the paparazzi before, and it is not far from the world war.

"Just to put it this way, an envoy is an envoy, and it's just for business. Besides, it's just following the way of others in Tubo. We don't have a unified control here. Who knows how many people have been deceived by the bearded people who come and go in the West Market?" General Lan Ling The architectural drawings were spread out, and I showed them one by one, "As long as he is willing to come, we will go through the formalities for him to enter, manage and pay taxes in a unified manner, and save the beards who run to the government every day to say that we are bullying. he."

"It's pretty good now, isn't it necessary?" How do you feel that there is something wrong with Lanling's words? If you hear this, the Ministry of Household Affairs will be pissed off. How many years have been conscientiously registered and inspected by the plain text code, let alone foreigners, even those from other provinces have entered Beijing. The land has to register first, the security situation in Chang'an City is probably better than that in the capital city in the 21st century.Especially in the aspect of foreign business control, there are not only special business areas, but also special control regulations; in all fairness, foreign businessmen in this era, let alone tax evasion and tax evasion, can beat the people to half death even if they cheat and cheat, so how dare they buy fake and inferior products? Bai Lai does not recognize the phenomenon of not recalling and not apologizing. "Don't mess with other people's reforms, and make the city full of complaints."

"Who said reform?" I saw Lan Ling snickering, a shameful smile. "It's also a help. The inner mansion paid for the construction, and the state treasury didn't spend a penny inside or out."

"Oh?"

"The goods of one country are still sold, and the goods of ten countries are still sold. Simply distinguish the goods. This is from the North, and that is from the South. They are all sold in this Wan Guo Pavilion. It is better than a bunch of sellers. Even if you can’t distinguish your own goods, how do you let the buyer buy them? You can’t sell them at a price.”

"Who is the seller? I'm trying to figure that out right now."

"Oh..." Lan Ling shoved me embarrassedly, "If you know it, ask."

"That's an act of deceiving consumers. You're the only one in the inner mansion. Why do you call out the Wan Guo Pavilion? It's obviously driving up prices." It’s so loud, and it’s all precious goods from overseas, so I got a few foreign salesmen to start cheating, pig embroidery needles, mule, horse and sheep offal, selling one piece for a penny, and selling a thousand for one yuan, it’s too dark ,I like. "This won't work, I have to go outside, lest my mother-in-law buy Persian foot-washing water and come back when she's happy."

"Don't you dare," Lan Ling came over and beat him a few times, "You are also a shareholder, so why would you smash your own signboard?"

"Oh, yes, yes, beautiful!" Chui Chui said, "It's not easy. My conscience is condemned. You know that my heart is pure and kind, but it is not so easy to be eroded by a few stinky money."

"Are you blackmailing?" Lan Ling came over with contempt, "Why didn't you say that you were born with a black heart?"

"It can also be understood in this way, actually..." Nodding shamelessly, he reached out his hand to count money, "The amount of money is directly proportional to the quality of conscience, haven't I taught you? Look. This plan is still creative. , but you made it too rigid, and it’s not good to spread it. If you really want to make a world expo, you can encourage it next time and use the official name to hold a purely commercial invitation..." At this time, Europe can ignore it , is in a mess, but the Asian and African coastal countries still have some good things, "It's actually very interesting. It's not for making money...but there must be money to be made. The main reason is to raise this popularity. The real thing is good in it." profit."

"Oh, I thought about it too, this time it's just a start..."

"What the hell did you think. I said it first." This is so bad, it suppresses my creativity.

Rubbing his temples, thinking about it carefully, the consequences are very serious. The profits from trade with neighboring countries are no longer enough to satisfy the appetite of the Neifu.As a royal institution, I am too embarrassed to develop in the country. After all, it is embarrassing to wear the hat of competing with the people.However, the success of Yuanhang made the inner government find an excuse. The construction of the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Pavilion was the first step. It seemed that the national power was strong. The royal family wanted to create an atmosphere of all nations coming to the court to show their achievements, but secretly it was a shortcut to enter the domestic trade.Domestic sales, no matter foreign products or domestic products, will quickly form their own sales network once they are transferred to domestic sales.As long as you open channels, you will not limit your own product types. With the expansion of your sphere of influence, you will gradually form a commercial system with the inner government as the core of production, supply, and sales. When dependencies and interests are intertwined, the real commercial Kushra appears, a monster, a deformed monster that can swallow everything.No matter the ending is good or bad.Always frightening.

This has nothing to do with ambition, neither does Li Zhi.Regardless of Lanling, at the beginning it was indeed for the sake of the country and the people, secretly earning a small amount of money to run a few schools, disaster relief, scientific research, and even Nanzhao's foreign affairs are now dominated by the internal government, and the starting point is good.But business is business, no matter how pure the starting point is... When the huge machine is started, it will always run according to its own laws.

The lively and cute little tiger is always so cute when it is playing and rolling, but there will be a day when it will show its sharp teeth. The tiger doesn't feel it, just like Lan Ling hasn't felt this change yet, but the people around him are already shuddering .

"Wait ten years later and you'll regret it."

"Regret what?"

"I regret that I have earned so much money but I am stingy and refuse to share it with me. If you add [-]% bonus shares, I will be yours."

"You are mine from the beginning," Lan Ling turned her face closer to look like a husband and wife, "I am also yours, and I belong to you all over, aren't you satisfied?"

"I can't take you as a shareholder, can I?" Lan Ling is too cunning, and always confuses feelings with interests at this time.

"You can use your family's property to invest in shares. Your Wang family has so many businesses that can grow big." Lan Ling sniffed at me with a smile, "Your family has no funds, and I will give you the best if you have no one in your family." Yes, your family has nothing to do with it and you can use my strength." Then he took various records of the Inner Palace in recent years and put them in front of me, "I don't want to hide this from you, let me make your mind up first. Someone has calculated carefully. After a settlement, the production of your family's toilet water will be increased tenfold, and the price will be adjusted to [-]% of the current price. The profits of Neifu and Wang's family can be doubled at the same time; Neifu can even accept the current price of [-]%, and your production will be increased by [-]%. The times will not change, you might as well consider it.”

"What about the conditions?"

"The inner government must obtain at least [-]% of the land output, and the sales cannot be restricted by region. But I can guarantee one thing, the domestic order will not be disrupted within six years."

"When did you discuss it with the fourth child?" There is no one else. The one who can settle accounts like this must be the absolute leadership of the toilet water workshop. First of all, they must be familiar with the production cost of toilet water. The second daughter will not talk to Lan Ling about this kind of topic, but The fourth child will never let go of this opportunity.

"It's not just toilet water, this accountant must be more accurate than the fourth child, why haven't you thought about it before?" He moved closer to me, "You trust me, but you don't trust the inner government. I want your toilet water formula and you can give it, but you never plan to fully cooperate with the inner government, do you?"

"Yes, that is." No contradiction, I really don't like to cooperate with the inner government, and I never thought about it.

"Stubborn, in fact, Liu Rengui is a more stubborn person. You don't believe in the reputation of the royal family? You have to know how many businessmen can take out their entire family fortune with just one word."

"I'm different, I'm not them." Ever since I graduated from university, I've been very disappointed with what the government has done, and I've experienced it myself after working... Maybe people in the Tang Dynasty believed in their own government. It is undeniable that the credibility of the Tang Empire royal family is really true It's good, but I still have to adapt, and I still have to slowly find the trust that I once lost.

"In the past few days, the family has to prepare to welcome the mother-in-law. There are many things. Let me think about it carefully. I will talk to you when I figure it out."

"Well, you have to be careful," Lan Ling started to smirk when he heard his mother-in-law, "Look at your wife's temper, this mother-in-law is not easy to take care of."

"I'm afraid..."
