Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 135
Shopkeeper Sun was deeply apprehensive. Although my boss is a young lady, but she has been with her for so long, and knowing her character, she will definitely not treat her badly!The [-]% bonus of Yuelai Restaurant has already boosted his family fortune. If the boss makes such a big move, will he still worry about his son's future?Shopkeeper Sun couldn't wait to send the good news back to his family.

After Shen Xinniang arranged these things, the money in her hand was naturally spent again like running water.While Dan Xin was heartbroken, he thought that after the lady spent such a large amount of money last time, the return was not disappointing, so she felt confident, "It will get better and better in the future!" Dan Xin and Jin Xiang said.

"Now these are not enough." Shen Xinniang said.

She set up a chess game and asked the servant girl to invite Fang Yan.

Prince Qi has been quite busy recently, he left the mansion and entered the palace before dawn, and only returned after dark.

"My lord has been working hard recently, do you have the mind to play a game of chess?" Shen Xiniang asked while stroking the round and cold chess pieces.

Fang Yan sniffed the fragrance of tea and smiled lightly, "Xin'er invites you kindly, even if you are busy, you have to put it down."

Shen Xinniang pushed Heizi towards Fang Yan.

Fang Yan didn't refuse either, he pinched the chess piece and landed on the chessboard.

Slap, slap, it seems that time slowed down all of a sudden.

From time to time, he raised his eyes to look into her eyes, which were as black as ink, making people unpredictable, yet inviting to peep.

"What are you busy with?" Shen Xinniang asked slowly while making quick moves without thinking.

"Are you interested in the affairs of the court?" Fang Yan slightly hooked the corner of his mouth.

"Uncle Yu holds the military power in his hands and raises a large number of troops, which needs to consume treasury funds. If the prince wants to make good friends with General Gongsun, he needs to have sufficient military funds to ensure the supply of General Gongsun's military supplies. The first emperor wanted to protect the border. Fighting a war, fighting for more than ten years, do you think the treasury will not be profitable?" Shen Xinniang dropped her child with a thud.

Fang Yan raised his eyes to look at her, the corners of his mouth slightly raised into a smile, "What are you thinking about all day long? Don't the women in the inner house like to read story books and listen to small songs, are you so concerned about national affairs?"

"I don't care." Shen Xinniang shook her head.

"Caring for me?" Fang Yan asked with a light smile.

"You think it is, so be it." Shen Xinniang was surprisingly easy to talk to.

Her tone was casual, but Fang Yan became very serious, looking at her solemnly, "What do you think?"

"Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants of the three religions and nine ranks are lowly. But most of the money is in the hands of merchants. If you encourage merchants and reduce peasants' corvee, you can fill the treasury and make the court praised by the people. Isn't it a good thing?" Shen Xinniang said.

"Ideology is not something that can be easily reversed. Merchants often collude with bureaucrats. If merchants are used to fill the treasury, it will inevitably touch the interests of some people and cause turmoil in the court." Fang Yan's eyes fell on the chessboard, and there was a crisp click, He hooked the corner of his mouth, "However, Xin'er inspired me."

Shen Xinniang didn't speak, and moved quickly.

Fang Yan shook his head and looked at the chess game, "At most, I will draw with you."

"Really?" Shen Xiniang fell down again, and the situation immediately became dangerous, as if a large number of sunspots fell into a big net that had been laid long ago.

Fang Yan smiled lightly, raised his hand and put the chess piece in the chess basket, "No more playing."

Shen Xinniang closed her eyes slightly.The situation in my mind seemed to gradually become clearer, the waterfall flowing straight down, the deep pool below the waterfall, and beside the pool, there was an exquisite octagonal gazebo.

When the sun is good, there is always a small rainbow hanging in one corner of the octagonal pavilion, red orange yellow green blue blue purple, beautiful and bright.

There were two people sitting in the octagonal gazebo, fiercely fighting against the chessboard.

"I'm leaving……"

"One day I will leave, don't be afraid."

The voice in her ear overlapped with the voice in her heart, and Shen Xinniang opened her eyes hastily, as if she wanted to see who the person opposite her was.There was a sudden sharp pain in my heart.It's that dull, oppressive pain.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

Fang Yan was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "You want me to stay? Then I won't go."

Ever since she asked him, did he ever think that she would be Mu Ling.He just kept the distance between the two of them, careful not to cross the threshold.

Today's joke is also said carefully.

Only then did Shen Xinniang's dark eyes become clearer, her gaze fell on his face, and after a while, she sighed softly, "Hurry up and go." Her tone was disgusting.

Dan Xin and Jin Xiang stick out their tongues at the side, the lady is really straightforward, and she is not afraid of hurting the prince's heart.

But seeing that Fang Yan was quite indifferent, he got up and left without a trace of awkwardness or hesitation.It's really strange for these two people to get along now.It's not like a prince or a concubine at all.Naturally, it was never like that.

Not long after the game that day.The imperial court circled a large piece of land in the southern suburbs of the capital, saying that the imperial court wanted to develop Nanshi and encourage merchants to buy land and build shops.

The land was far away and desolate.Any discerning businessman can tell that the imperial court is trying to collect money!Even if you bought land and built a store, who would you sell it to?Can you sell it to a ghost?

They say in private that the imperial court is not planning to build a southern city, but a ghost city!
Shen Xiniang raised all the money she could, and even borrowed the [-] guan makeup that she had given to Shen Siniang, and bought a whole half street in Nanshi.

There are also merchants who seem to respond to the imperial court's actions, and buy a piece of land with two shops in order to look good.

Not long after that, the imperial court seemed to have taken a real step and called on the people to build a road leading to Nanshi. It was spacious and flat, and it was about to catch up with the main road in the capital.And in a place not far from Nanshi, the land was circled and assigned to Xuanyu Temple. Xuanyu Temple was originally located in the capital, a small Taoist temple, but there was a Ziyang Taoist with extraordinary Taoism.Can watch the fate, but also heal the sick and save lives.Nothing is not working, and the incense is quite strong.It’s just that every inch of land is expensive in the capital, and when Master Ziyang visited Xuanyu Temple, Xuanyu Temple was already there, and it’s not easy to expand it for such a big place.

Now that the imperial court has approved the expansion site for Yuzi Zhu, there are no practitioners in Xuanyu Temple who are not happy, even if they are asked to pay for the construction of the Taoist temple, there is no half of it.

It is said that Master Ziyang went to the south of the city to see the geomantic omen in person, and said that the south of the city is a treasure land of geomantic omen. In a few years, the south of the city will surely rival the prosperity of the eastern and western cities.

The words of Master Ziyang spread out and immediately aroused great excitement in the hearts of the people.In particular, merchants who believed in feng shui and had seen how powerful Ziyang was, snapped up land in Nanshi from the imperial court.

In just a few days, the land price in Nanshi has doubled several times.

At the beginning, Shen Xinniang bought half a block at the lowest price. If she resold it at this time, she would immediately make a lot of money.When they bought the land back then, they exhausted all the funds they could raise. Dan Xin and Jin Xiang, as the maids in front of the lady, kept an eye on Nanshi's movements.

"My lady, I heard that the land price in Nanshi has risen again! It has risen again!" Dan Xin said happily, her tone trembling uncontrollably.

"Lady, lady!" Jin Xiang flew in from the outside, her face was also full of joy.

"Have you also heard about the increase in land prices in Nanshi?" Dan Xin asked with a smile.

Jin Xiang took a breath and waved her small hand, "When will the land prices in Nanshi not go up?"

"Didn't you say that? Then you are so happy?" Dan Xin poured her a glass of water and asked with a smile.

Shen Xinniang raised her eyes, "Did Qingniang and Tie Zhu send back news?"

Jin Xiang couldn't swallow a sip of water, and coughed because of choking, "My lady knows again?"

Dan Xin was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "The lady can pinch and count, is it the first day you know?"

Jin Xiang smiled and put the teacup aside, "It's good news, great news! I heard that Qingniang and the others met local spinners in the Miaoling area. The carriage is inconvenient, the transportation is difficult, and the output is not high."

Shen Xinniang nodded slowly.

"However, Qingniang reported that it is very cost-effective to buy directly from them. Even if the cost of labor is included, it is cheaper than Liuyun Brocade from Suzhou brocade!" Jin Xiang said.

"The output is not high?" Dan Xin frowned and bit her fingertips.

"This is very good." Shen Xinniang said slowly, "Chuncao Xinfang originally only made high-quality goods, and did not require high output. As long as the fabrics are excellent, everything else is easy to talk about."

Jin Xiang nodded repeatedly.

"Tell Tie Zhu, let him arrange the manpower he can rest assured, and decide to buy. It is best to keep our own people in the local area." Shen Xinniang instructed, "Also, don't care about the boat on the return journey. Go talk to the prince, take the The court’s freight ship. Since the output is not high, it doesn’t take much effort, safety first.”

"Yes!" Jin Xiang took the order, "The lady is finally willing to speak to the prince!"

Dan Xin tugged her, as long as she knew this in her heart, why did she say it!
Shen Xinniang looked sideways at Jin Xiang, "Did I refuse to talk to him before?"

Jin Xiang smiled awkwardly, "Yeah, it's not..."

"It's just that I didn't need him before." Shen Xinniang said indifferently, her tone was light and arrogant.

The weather is getting hotter.

The construction of Nanshi is also in full swing.Although the shop has not yet been built, most of the shop in Shen Xinniang's hands has been rented out.

The main hall of Xuanyu Temple was completed, and a large number of tourists rushed to go there every day, wanting to soak up the immortal energy, as if the immortal energy can also be first come, first served.

The roads in Nanshi are so wide that even a four-wheeled carriage will not be cramped when running.Why worry about no business in South City?People who rent or buy Nanshi shops seem to be able to hear the sound of money rushing into their pockets.

The merchants who didn't grab the shop did not know how regretful they were, it can be said that their intestines were full of regret.

Qin Ran was depressed, not because he didn't buy the land in Nanshi.Now my father has summoned the brothers in the clan to the capital, and began to guide the brothers in the clan to take care of the business matters at home.

He seldom worried about such things anymore, and it wasn't his interest in the first place.

"What has Mrs. Shen been doing recently?" Qin Ran asked the follower.

The entourage was stunned, "It's the same as yesterday, I stayed in the palace and didn't leave the door."

"What does she stay at the mansion every day? Doesn't she go out to look for it? Staying at the mansion, is it possible that what she is looking for will come to the door and let her know?" Qin Ran snapped open the folding fan and shook it.
