Chapter 1752 Ren Zi Juan Reward
Feng Ziying thought for a while and shook her head: "No, the Xue family and the Wang family are just an in-law relationship, but the Xue family is essentially an imperial businessman and has nothing to do with court affairs. Your mother has also been married out of the Wang family for decades. The contact is simply a kinship relationship, not much else, and there is no business dealings with the Wang family. Besides, Feng can’t even keep his wife and mother-in-law, so I’d better not establish a business name in the capital city.”
There is a bit of a chivalrous tone, but at this time it is the best tone to comfort the people in the room. It takes such arrogance and toughness to make the women feel at ease.
Baochai Yingying stood up and wanted to salute, but Feng Ziying waved her hand to stop her, pretending to be angry: "Sister, if this happens, then I will be angry. You and I are one and the same, and you will have children for me in the future. But you are still so angry, could it be that my sister thinks that I, Feng Ziying, am someone who cannot be trusted with my trust?"
After being stopped by Feng Ziying, Baochai's face turned rosy, and her beautiful eyes were full of love. But at this time, even though she was usually sharp-tongued, she didn't know what to say, so she could only bite her cherry lips gently. He sat down with his head lowered.
"There should be nothing wrong with the Xue family, but the Jia family is indeed different." Feng Ziying glanced at Yingchun, who was still a little uneasy, "Second sister, don't worry too much. If there is any problem, it should be logically with the second bedroom. The side is more dangerous, of course, I will pay attention to it, and if there is an accident, I will also ask."
Yingchun is an honest person. When Feng Ziying said this, she also knew that although her father was a bit of a swindler, he was not an official of the puppet dynasty like his second uncle. The Rongning Second Mansion wanted to pursue him, so he could not escape. It's not my fault, but with the help of my husband, it's nothing serious. It's just that I have to suffer some hardships, but there's nothing I can do about it.
On second thought, I was lucky that I had not married Sun Shaozu. Otherwise, if she had become a convict, she would have been sent to the Jiaofang Department to live the miserable life of "a pair of jade arms, a pillow for thousands of people, and a tiny bit of red lips for thousands of people to taste."
Thinking of this, Yingchun felt even more lucky for her original boldness. It was also thanks to Si Qi's encouragement that she dared to take this bold step. Otherwise, not to mention marrying that Sun Shaozu, even if she stayed in the Jia family, she would inevitably go to prison. If you stay here for a while, your innocence and reputation will be ruined, you will have to give up the idea of finding an ordinary family.
"My husband's wishes must be understood by the Jia family. According to what my husband said, the imperial court will soon conquer the south. Now that Shandong is also occupied by the south, the imperial court will first want to recover Shandong, right?" Unlike Baochai who is worried about Yingchun, Baoqin is obviously more concerned about the other side.
“Well, that should be the case.” Feng Ziying glanced at Baoqin, “Baoqin, what do you want to say?”
"The soldiers and horses have not yet moved the food and grass. Once the imperial army moves, they have to talk about food and grass. But now the main food in Shuicicang is occupied by Nanbian'er. Even if the imperial army is assembled, where will the food and grass come from? The emperor has no idea. How can we fight with hungry soldiers and no food?"
Feng Ziying laughed. Why didn't he understand Xue Baoqin's thoughts?
Now Xue Biao has hoarded a lot of grain in Yuguan, Dagu and even Laizhou, tying up a lot of money. At present, the price of grain has risen rapidly, and the rise is getting more and more fierce. After all, this batch of grain will be sold as soon as possible. Should you take the plunge and be safe, or should you continue to hoard for greater profits?
In addition, Xue Biao’s shipping business is still continuing, but will it be affected when the war starts? How should the strategy of transporting grain from the south to the north be implemented?
It has to be said that Bao Qin has developed a sensitivity and interest in business with her father for many years. It is right to leave the business in this house to her. Baochai can also run a household, but her interests are obviously not as good as Bao Qin's. Strong, it is impossible for a doctor to focus all her attention on business, so having an assistant like Bao Qin is just right.
There is a shortage of such people in the Changfang. Shen Yixiu is not very interested in business, and the same is true for Eryou. This also makes the two families seem a bit unbalanced. Maybe they need to think about how to change it.
"Fighting in the war will definitely require food. There is still some in the Jingtong Second Warehouse, but it will definitely not be enough." Feng Ziying glanced at Bao Qin, "Once the Jingtong Second Warehouse is used, the price of food in Beijing will definitely skyrocket. I will soon suggest to the court that One is to increase efforts to transport food by sea from the south, and the other is to limit food prices in Gyeonggi Province. A moderate profit is okay, but it is too outrageous and cannot be done!"
Baoqin suddenly became anxious and stood up, "Mr. sir!"
“What’s wrong?” Feng Ziying glanced at the other party.
Baoqin also realized that he had lost his composure and sat down: "No, my husband is doing this. Aren't you afraid of offending so many grain merchants in the capital? My husband should know who are behind them."
Seeing that Feng Ziying was not angry, Xue Baoqin quickly stood up and apologized: "Ms. sir, it's because I am shallow."
Feng Ziying is not too selfish. Baoqin just cares too much about these economic interests. This is also one of her shortcomings. It seems that she needs to be trained well.
"Gyeonggi is the heartland of the imperial court, and there must be no problems. The current shortage of food will become more and more serious, and food prices will continue to rise. There is only one problem to be solved, and that is to have an abundant source of food. Although Jiangnan has The water transportation is cut off, but they can't cut off the entire source of grain. The grain from Huguang will continue to be transported to Jiangnan, and what are the grain merchants in Jiangnan doing? The merchants want to make profits, so they can only sell. I don't think Prince Yi Zhong Can we ask local officials in the south of the Yangtze River to implement strict blockades in places like Songjiang, Ningbo, and Quanzhou? Can they cut off shipping sales?"
Feng Ziying leaned her body on the pillow behind her and relaxed a little: "The price of food has increased to this level. Who doesn't know what price you bought it at? As long as the profit is reasonable, don't be the target of others." , the imperial court will take decisive action when the time comes.”
The reason why Feng Ziying asked Xue Biao to spare no effort to buy grain was because he knew that this business was profitable. There was a severe drought in the north, the interruption of water transportation, and the war between the north and the south. Any of these three items would be enough to cause the price of grain to skyrocket. The purpose of hoarding grain in Yuguan, Dagu and Laizhou is not to make much money. On the one hand, it is to ensure that the court has enough available grain. On the other hand, it is to stabilize grain prices. Even just a gesture or a piece of news can suppress grain prices. Go down a lot.
Now all this is gradually becoming a reality. As the situation evolves, this shipping channel will become more and more important. I am afraid that Laizhou will be controlled by Niu Jizong and can only be given up. However, Dagu and Yuguan are particularly important. One is to protect the needs of Liaodong and Jizhen, and the other is to supply the entire Gyeonggi region, so there can be no mistakes, so more energy needs to be invested in operating it.
In addition, some of the original connections in Jiangnan will also be used. Wu Yaoqing and Gu Dengfeng, especially Gu Dengfeng and Feng Ziying, have already explained that now is the time to play a role. Songjiang, Ningbo and Quanzhou will become important grain transport ports. , in comparison, Guangzhou is just a backup, after all, it is far away.
Dongfan can also be used. Feng Ziying has never ignored this point.
After washing her feet, the conversation was almost finished. Baoqin also knew that he might have made his husband unhappy today, but his husband was going to stay in Baochai's room today, so he could only wait until he stayed in his own room the day after tomorrow to apologize properly. .
After Baoqin and Yingchun left the room, Feng Ziying yawned, got off the kang and entered the room.
Baochai had already changed her clothes, and Ying'er was waiting on her side, **** and **** Feng Ziying.
“Did your husband make Qingwen angry?” Baochai’s words almost broke Feng Ziying’s guard. She was stunned for a moment and then said: “Well, Qingwen has been with me for so many years...”
"Ms. sir, please don't get me wrong. I won't be jealous..." Baochai didn't want to be jealous of Qingwen. She just used it to introduce a topic, "Ying'er has been with me for so many years, Xiangling has already My husband has taken over the house, so I should consider trying to save Ying'er's face. We can't let her be an old girl in the house for the rest of her life, right? People outside also want to laugh. "
Ying'er on the side was so ashamed that she was at a loss, her face was red and her muscles were swollen, and her hands that were untying Feng Ziying's sweat towel were shaking.
Feng Ziying didn't expect Baochai to suddenly propose this. She subconsciously glanced at the girl beside her who was packing her clothes. Her body was shaking slightly and she didn't know how to place her hands. Her fair face was red and her almond-shaped eyes were even more intense. He glanced at himself and lowered his head in fear.
"Baochai, why did you suddenly think of this? Ying'er has always been by your side and knows that she is your personal one. Who can laugh at her?" Feng Ziying laughed.
"That's different, too. There are more and more people in this house, and it's inevitable that some will flatter you and downgrade others. Xiangling has followed you a long time ago. It's been almost a year since I got married. Ying'er stays in the courtyard all day long. , everyone knows that she can’t be let out, so it’s better to give her a status earlier, and she’s not young anymore, she’s already eighteen,..."
Baochai did not shy away from Ying'er, and was very calm in her words. Sooner or later, her personal maid would be able to calm Ying'er's heart.
Feng Ziying, however, had some doubts as to whether Baochai was grateful for Da Ma's golden statement today, so she simply used this method to reward her?
This seems a bit too disrespectful to Ying'er, but seeing the joy in Ying'er's eyes, Feng Ziying also understands that her thinking is somewhat different from theirs. For Ying'er, this is of course a great joy. , if you get what you want, you will have something to rely on for the rest of your life.
