Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

Chapter 355



If someone asked the emperor, among all the courtiers, which one he admired the most, the emperor would answer without hesitation that it was Wang Huangshang.The world is so big, but there is no one who is better than the imperial merchant. Not only will he take the initiative to donate the money he earns to the imperial family, but he will also take the initiative to tell the emperor how to make money. How can we find such a person in the world? ?Those people who only know how to be greedy for money from the treasury are pretending to be high-spirited one by one, saying that money is something outside the body, so don't be greedy for his money!He asked the enemy country to ask for more silver, and they said that he had lost the demeanor of a big country, and those who were greedy for his silver knew it, so why didn't they say that he had lost the dignity of a literati?

The national treasury was full, and the surrounding small countries also bowed their heads and bowed their heads. The emperor was so happy that he selected a few tributes from the small countries from the national treasury to reward Wang Xiujin, who was very appreciated by him.

On the first day of the new year, Wang Xiujin received a generous gift from the emperor, which really made some people envious.Now no one dares to talk about Wang Xiujin behind his back, who knows if he will be passed on to the emperor's ears, the lesson learned from the past was not long ago, they don't want to insist on making a breakthrough when they know that it is a dead end.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Xiujin and Li Sushan went back to Wang's house. Seeing the eldest brother's children dressed in fiery red doll costumes, they found it unusual. In a few middle schools, a gentleman who is good at drawing figures in the school took a brush and drew a family portrait with the Wang family. This gentleman will go to the Li family to paint a family portrait tomorrow.

In addition to the family portrait, the husband also drew a personal picture for each of them. For the children, it is to leave a track of growth, and for the elders, it is to commemorate them. People, as they grow older, Memories will also fade slowly, and with the passage of time, there will eventually be a day of separation between life and death. In order to not calm down the appearance of loved ones after parting, portraits have become the only way.

Wang Xiubo heard his father's proposal to let him go to Beijing, discussed with his wife for a few days, and gave his father an answer before leaving Beijing. He wanted to wait another two years to return to Beijing. There are still many things that need to be done in Fengcheng , as if leading the people of Feng'an to live a good life. From the moment his younger brother handed over the cultured marine products to him, he wanted to use this method to make Fengcheng and the people of Fengcheng live a better life.These years have not been invaded by Japanese pirates, but life is still not good. The reason is that there is not enough land for cultivation.My younger brother once said, "Eat the mountains by relying on the mountains, and eat the sea by relying on the sea." There is no land in Fengcheng, but there is a large sea. .

The younger brother's method can greatly reduce the occurrence of danger, and it can also fill everyone's wallets, so why not do it.During these years in Fengcheng, Wang Xiubo did not have any major achievements, and he was too embarrassed to mention the minor ones. He returned to Beijing, no need to be told. Even he felt that he was incompetent and could only rely on his father and younger brother to help him. What would he do when he returned to the capital? , I am afraid that I will be pointed out.If he had done something, when he returned to Beijing someday, even if someone said something behind his back, he would be able to straighten his back.

Wang Xiujin didn't know his elder brother's thoughts, but he respected his elder brother's decision, but he still reminded his elder brother that his parents' bodies would gradually age with the passage of time, and it was better to come back to Fengcheng as soon as possible.Wang Xiubai nodded in response, he didn't want to stay in Fengcheng forever, "I will ask my father to help Gao Sheng return to Beijing next year at the latest."

After seeing off the elder brother's family, Wang Xiujin began to be busy day after day, during which time he even made a trip to Li Village.When going to Li Village, Wang Xiujin did not avoid anyone, he went with Li Sushan, and seriously offered incense and paper to the elders of the Li family. Wang Xiujin prayed for a safe new year. A lot, and the incense sticks are also specially made and thickened, as thick as an adult's thigh, and much taller than a human being. Although it is long and thick, it tastes good when it burns. It can be seen that Wang Xiujin has passed With a lot of money, I only hope that the ancestors can protect him, so that what happened last year will not happen again.

The villagers in Li Village can see the big thick incense on the Li's house in the capital from far away, and they can't help but smash their tongues. The rich are not ordinary. They have never seen such thick incense. Even if they see it, they will not know it. Willing to pay for it.The discussion about the Li family in the capital started from here, and then it turned to the man who was lucky enough to work in the workshop of the imperial merchants in the capital. Everyone was very envious of him. The monthly rate given by the workshop is comparable to their annual income, which makes people quite envious.

The villagers thought to themselves, why didn't they have the good luck of a man, and the birth of a child just happened to coincide with the arrival of the Li family, and the emperor businessman of the Li family was a kind person, so he immediately sealed a red envelope. Going to return it pretendingly, so he fell into the eyes of the emperor, thinking that he was sincere, so he let him work in the workshop.The villagers agreed that the man looked honest, but he was the most scheming.

Wang Xiujin and Li Sushan came over without Yachang.If it is simply going to the grave, they will bring Yachang over. After all, Yachang is a descendant of the Li family in the capital. The current situation is that they have to stay in Li Village for a few days. It is necessary to deal with the villagers. In Wang Xiujin's opinion, no matter how precocious his son is, he is still a child. He doesn't want his son to have a shadow on his life experience. He will tell him his son's life experience, but Definitely not now.

Returning to Li Village from the cemetery, Wang Xiujin stepped into the village chief's house again. Seeing the village chief's happy face, he realized that the village chief had a grandson. The auspicious words on his lips made the village chief even more happy. At the same time, he was thinking in his heart whether his grandson could be favored by the Li family in the capital. Even in front of the county magistrate, he can straighten his back.

Wang Xiujin watched the sticker on Li Village Chief's head change again and again, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and the congratulations on his face added a bit of congratulations. Those who didn't know thought Wang Xiujin sincerely congratulated him, but Li Sushan glanced at the village chief indifferently. How could he not know what Wang Xiujin was thinking after sharing the bed with Wang Xiujin for so long? Wang Xiujin was definitely dissatisfied with the village chief at the moment, but he couldn't figure out how the village chief offended Wang Xiujin. , when Wang Xiujin handed over the red envelope just now, it was from the heart, and his change was only for a moment. Could it be that the village chief revealed something just now?

Li Sushan couldn't figure it out, so he was ready to wait and see what happened. Wang Xiujin would not let himself suffer. As for whether the village chief will suffer, or be punished by Wang Xiujin, it has nothing to do with him, as long as Wang Xiujin is not angry. .

Wang Xiujin was very responsive to the heart of the village head, and mentioned the matter of adoption. He didn't say whether it was a boy or a girl, but only said that he had a dream recently. He dreamed that a beautiful baby always appeared in his dreams. Holding on to his clothes, refusing to let go, that look is very special, if he didn't appear in the dream, the baby would cry all the time, crying to the point of breaking people's hearts.

After the village head heard this, he immediately showed a serious expression on his face, and said that there are a few families in the village who have got children recently, so it is better to go to each house to see, and also hinted that even if he likes his children, it is okay to adopt them.At this time, Li Sushan understood why Wang Xiujin suddenly changed his attitude. It is estimated that the village chief did not simply want to adopt him.

Wang Xiujin didn't reject the village chief's "kindness", but felt sorry for the grandson the village chief just got. If the child grows up and knows that his grandfather tried to adopt him in order to get rich, what will the child think?Wang Xiujin wondered how the village chief would behave on that day?Is it regret, or do you feel that your decision was not wrong?Wang Xiujin couldn't imagine it, he only hoped that by then, he would still remember this matter, maybe he would listen to it for fun.

Wang Xiujin and Li Sushan accompanied the village head and walked around the village. Only the girl born in one family in the village was missing. The village head didn't know that Wang Xiujin wanted to adopt a daughter. In his opinion, the Li family would definitely adopt a son if they wanted to adopt. Baby, who would choose a girl to adopt, and even open a family tree to record her name.Wang Xiujin felt a pity that he didn't see the baby girl. The girl's father said that when his mother-in-law returned home, he was afraid that the baby would not be able to drink milk, so he took him with him.

The village chief asked Wang Xiujin with a smile if he wanted to see his grandson. Wang Xiujin looked at the village chief and smiled, and made a gesture of invitation. Li Sushan walked behind Wang Xiujin, and he could clearly feel that Wang Xiujin's mood became more and more bad, and he glanced at the village chief, he was afraid that his wish would come to nothing, but this time, Wang Xiujin didn't mention the matter of adoptive children.

There is a small river on the way from the last house to the village chief's house. Li Sushan heard a small voice from a distance. Li Sushan followed the sound and walked quickly to the weed pile by the river, and saw a well-wrapped Li Fushan's eyes flashed fiercely for the unscrupulous children. Because of his own experience, Li Fushan was particularly sympathetic to the abandoned children. Therefore, Li Fushan would visit the orphanage built by Wang Xiujin in the capital from time to time. Look, there will be some gifts, even the gentleman over there is hand-picked by him.

"What a crime!" Wang Xiujin walked up to Li Sushan's side a few steps, looked at the child in his arms, his face was quite ugly, "It's about to be wrapped tightly." Wang Xiujin said while taking the child, and asked the servant to invite him doctor.

The village chief was a little dumbfounded. He suddenly had a bad feeling that what he thought might not come true, and he secretly scolded those who lost their children.Throw whatever you want, even if you throw it, choose a place, one day earlier or one day later, why today.
