Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 182 Yuan!

The heavy snow was falling, and on the official road, a team of carriages and horses were trudging forward in the snow. However, there was a completely different warmth in the carriage. A heater, a pot of hot tea, and a few plates of dried fruits were enough to warm the beautiful girl named Cui Huan. The woman curled up in the carriage and read the storybook comfortably.

The storybook talks about the first half of the Han King's life in the Yan land. The content is full of the flashes of swords and shadows in the rivers and lakes. It seems that the Han King spent the first half of his life wallowing in the quagmire of the rivers and lakes, and then he naturally had three years of turning into a dragon and wreaking havoc on the world. legend.

At the end of the book, there are six characters: "Let's listen to the analysis next time."

After Cui Huan put down the script, she sighed contentedly. She didn't notice that at the end, there was a line of small words - Yanyun Commercial Printing Office.

Since the Han army went south, the Song people lost seven prefectures in Hebei, but they received a large amount of goods from Yanyun. The Yan people's factories and workshops were even opened throughout the Song Dynasty, employing local people. Song people as helpers.

Among many commercial goods, things like scripts are actually worthless, but they have other values.

Facts have proved that as long as enough money is given, all the so-called famous scholars and great virtues are willing to earn this "pen fee". Anyway, it is about the first half of the Han Dynasty's life, and there are no more romances or chivalrous characters in it. It's just an addition. Overall, we just need to make him look great and upright.

Even famous scholars are like this, let alone some poor scholars. As long as they are willing to give money, they are willing to cater to the requirements of the people and the Yan people unconditionally and write whatever they want. They are like dogs who have been given meat and bones.

Cui Huan's family is a businessman, but her ancestors were once wealthy. The Cui family in Hebei was a well-known name hundreds of years ago, but today it is in decline.

What's more, Cui Huan's family is a collateral branch outside the collateral branch. Her parents are willing to take off their robes to run industries, so the life of the family is actually good now. What's more, her parents are more open-minded. Even if she is a daughter, she has started studying since she was a child. Literate.

"But fortunately, my sister doesn't have to marry him as a concubine."

It's a pity that the King of Han doesn't seem to accept this, but it's no wonder, there are all kinds of princesses and concubines in the back house, and there is no need for anyone to help carry the facade.

If it is too hard, people will not be able to enjoy the process.

So when the family received a new batch of story books for sale, the first to become its readers was the unmarried eldest lady of the Cui family.

A slightly helpless male voice immediately came from outside: "Are you so anxious to see the great king? I told you in advance that the great king is not a thing. You can just stand far away and take a look. Don't worry about it.

Speaking of this, the elder brother couldn't help but sigh.

but

Cui Huan still managed to cheer up and shouted outside: "Brother, when will we arrive in Yandi?"

There are no objects that have been passed down for hundreds of years that are not free from dirt and rot. Only those belonging to aristocratic families are dubbed "noble" and "noble" by some good people.

The man named Cui who was riding his horse thought helplessly.

This time, he did it for the sake of our surname Cui, otherwise he would not necessarily see me based on our status as merchants."

She has finished reading the latest storybook. There are other storybooks, but different storybooks have different authors, which leads to multiple versions of varying quality. In the words of later generations, Cui Huan prefers the kind of boss. theme.

If it is too soft, it can easily make people drowsy.

It is said that in the old days, Wang Xietang's queen flew into the homes of ordinary people. Even if they were noble girls from the previous dynasty, and their families were in ruins, there were still many people willing to marry them, and they all wanted to use them to improve their own family status. What's more, It's a family like the Cui family with a good reputation and heritage.

After she put down her script, her eyes wandered around the carriage, and she was immediately disappointed.

"In my land of Yan, caste only matters when a beast mates a young beast." Liu Ling flipped through the gift list casually, then put it aside and looked at the young man kneeling in front of him.

The latter hurriedly lowered his head and felt a great pressure on himself. For a moment, his whole body started to tremble.

As soon as the opponent came up, he would crush his biggest face under his feet, but all Cui Youyuan could do was to raise his butt a little higher and show enough respect. "Qinghe Cui family, Boling Cui family, what do they have to do with your family?"

"Returning to your Majesty, the villain's family is a side branch of the Bolingcui family. Times have changed and the family has been too long. The main family actually doesn't recognize the villain's branch anymore."

Liu Ling observed the young man named Cui and silently estimated what the latter might want.

The other party's family is engaged in business, and Liu Ling was planning to support several more big merchant families in Lianghe to serve as his eyes, ears and secret agents, so accordingly, sufficient investment of interests was needed.

"I have read the letter from your elders. Do you want Daming Mansion's furs and various businesses?"

"Yes," Cui Youyuan came back to his senses, remembered the words he had prepared in advance, and slowly narrated: "If the king agrees, the business income will only cost 10% of the business income, and other than that"

"I'll give you another 10%,"

Liu Ling knocked on the table and said softly: "But half of it belongs to you."

"Yuan, thank you so much for your grace!"

10% is actually a huge benefit. Considering the appearance of the Cui family, he could have taken more with confidence. However, Cui Youyuan was warned by his parents before leaving. He knew that there were other people in the family. conspiracy, so I understand why my father and several uncles took the initiative to give up such huge interests.

But now, the King of Han promised to give him half of the benefits. The first thing that welled up in Cui Youyuan's heart was not ecstasy, but confusion.

For ordinary people, it is normal for the elders to give you a few hundred thousand as a gift, and it is normal for the elders to give you hundreds of thousands at a time. But if you are given hundreds of thousands at a time, it makes people a little afraid to accept it.

Liu Ling didn't seem to notice Cui Youyuan's hesitant look. Without waiting for his answer, he asked again: "Do you want to be an official?"

He reached out and took out his royal seal, placed it on the table, and flicked it with his hand.

"For officials in Yandi, officials in Yunzhong, and even officials in Song Dynasty, I can help you operate it. In the end, an official hat is just a matter of my seal."

Liu Ling's voice was like a devil whispering temptation in his ear, constantly tugging at people's heartstrings. After Cui Youyuan heard the words, he finally raised his head and couldn't help asking: "The villain is stupid, but the villain secretly thinks that he has no ability, why does the king Love so wrongly?"

"I have offered you the price, please tell me if you are willing."

"The villain wants to know what the king wants the villain to do?" Cui Youyuan said stubbornly.

Liu Ling glanced at him, and Cui Youyuan reacted quickly. He immediately stood up and came to the King of Han. He found that on the desk in front of him, in addition to the king's seal and some documents, there were several treasure notes of different denominations.

Nowadays, merchants in Lianghe and even many places in the Song Dynasty recognize this thing.

"I am planning to expand the bank into a bank. You will be responsible for the expansion and operation of the bank. Someone will come to discuss the specific matters with you later."

Cui Youyuan thought for a while and immediately said respectfully: "Your Majesty trusts me so much. Yuan has a younger sister. She is fifteen years old and very beautiful. I hope your Majesty will reward you."

"I already have it"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry," Cui Youyuan said sternly, "She is naturally a concubine."
