Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

In the prince's courtyard, Li Sushan bowed his body and didn't dare to move. He didn't expect the emperor to come to the prince's courtyard. Before going to the military camp, he entered the palace every day, and he didn't see the emperor coming a few times. He passed on the matter to the imperial study room, and I don't know if it was good or bad when I met the emperor this time.Li Sushan felt uneasy in his heart, he didn't know what to do, so he could only try to reduce his sense of existence.

The emperor originally wanted to go to the imperial study and listen to the words of the relatives around him. This morning, the emperor sent his people to wait outside the door, as if he was waiting for someone.The emperor came to see his son, and when he saw Li Sushan in his yard, the emperor nodded in his heart, and at the same time wrote down the eunuch who had been gossiping in his ear.When the emperor saw the emperor, he wanted to go. The emperor had been away for half a year. Although he had been back to Beijing for a while, and he paid his respects to him every day, he didn't ask too much about the life of the emperor outside the palace. He didn't pay as much attention to the emperor as before, and that's why today's matter happened.

It seems that he trusts the people around him too much. Otherwise, how could he easily doubt Huang'er? With Huang'er's temperament, there is no way he would make any friends.If you want to make friends, you won't wait until now.There were many opportunities before, but not all of them were rejected by the emperor.The emperor glanced at the talkative one before, and then said, "I've been out playing for half a year, it's time to calm down."

"Father, my son wants a piece of land in the capital." During the time he came back, the prince was always worried about Li Sushan, and by the way, he also inspected the topography of the capital to find a few suitable places to build houses that Wang Xiujin had mentioned.

"Land?" The emperor looked at his son strangely. Could it be that the emperor wants to move out and build a mansion?

"My son wants to..." Before the prince finished speaking, the emperor waved his hand, telling those who followed him to leave.The prince was a little strange, but he also waved to Li Sushan.Li Sushan wanted to follow him out of the house, but was stopped by the emperor, "You stay here, I have something to ask you."

"Your Majesty!" Seeing that Li Sushan was left behind, the eunuchs beside the prince knelt down worriedly, hoping that the emperor would change his decision. Although Li Sushan was not enough to enter the imperial court, he was still a military officer. , but what to do.

"Get out!" The emperor looked coldly at the kneeling eunuch.

The eunuch shuddered, and before he could speak again, the other two dragged him out. "If you want to die, don't drag our family down."

"Father?" The prince felt strange, he really didn't think about it deeply, let alone whether Li Sushan would do something rebellious.

"The emperor just said what he wanted to say just now." The emperor looked at his son's blank eyes and felt a little headache. Such a person is really not suitable for Datong.

"My son has a way to make money, and needs a lot of space." The prince stopped thinking about the eunuch who was dragged out, and reversed what Wang Xiujin had said to him at the beginning, and said it again in official language. The emperor nodded frequently.

"Is it really possible to build a house with more than three floors?" Although the emperor said in doubt, he already had affirmation in his heart.

"Really, my son saw it with his own eyes. The house is very strong. The strong man slammed the bell with all his strength for several times before he saw any cracks." The more the prince thought about Wang Xiujin's house, the more he thought that construction should start soon. It is not suitable for building a house now, but At least the land circle should be completed, the foundation can be dug, and the iron pillars can be ordered in advance. The construction will start immediately after the spring of next year. Maybe a few places will be completed before the spring. After the imperial examination, the high school will stay in Beijing The younger generation is his main target for selling houses.

Hearing the novelty, the Son of Heaven felt that although the wall was not as indestructible as the Shisan City Wall, it was still much better than ordinary houses. If it could be pushed to the border, the people there would not have to worry about thieves breaking through the wall every day. "How much does it cost to build a house?" The emperor felt that it would be very expensive to build such a house.

"Except for the cost of the iron pillars, the cost is not much, less than half the price of bricks. As for the iron pillars, what is the price in Tokyo, my son is still unclear." The prince said while gesturing the thickness of the iron pillars needed for the iron, as well as the price of the bricks. When building a house, how to make the iron pillars an iron frame, and try to persuade the father to give him the land.

"The land can't be given to you for free." The emperor looked at his son, "I will allocate two pieces of land for you, one for my garden and the other for your use, and I want [-]% of the net profit."

The prince quickly started to calculate the profit, and felt that if he would give [-]% to his father, he would basically have nothing to earn. Unable to get a piece of land, he gritted his teeth, and the prince responded. Wang Xiujin said that the greater the pressure, the greater the motivation, although he still hasn't figured out what pressure and motivation are.

Sending the emperor away, the prince immediately discussed the matter of enclosing the land with Li Sushan. According to the prince, the two sides started work at the same time. The garden that the father wanted can be slowly built, and the other side can’t be sold to the students who stayed in Beijing after the imperial examination. Slow down, he needs to make money faster, and earn more money. I remember that Wang Xiujin has a house that can be sold at a flat rate. How to explain this flat rate? Why didn’t he ask in detail at the time, and what about the garden for the father? Only by building can the emperor like it.

Li Sushan didn't understand until now that the prince came out of Beijing to find Wang Xiujin, because Wang Xiujin built a special house with a new method, and also gave the prince a way to make money, but the prince didn't ask, "Why don't you send someone to go with him?" Young Master Wang, talk about it in detail."

The prince wants to go there again in person, but just got the land, he still has a lot of things to do, even though he doesn't need to go around, he can't leave.As for who to send, he had to think carefully, few of the followers around him could be trusted by the prince.Those who can be trusted need to go on their way in Beijing, and now the prince realizes that he doesn't have many people who can be used.Looking at Li Sushan, the prince hesitated whether to let him run for him, but he thought that Li Sushan had just returned from the border, and then he went to Xiangcheng, which was a little unreasonable. The father borrowed someone.A [-]% profit is not so easy to get.

Li Sushan returned home from the palace, he was a bit disappointed and couldn't go to Xiangcheng for the prince, but he could also understand the prince's intention to keep him in Beijing. Firstly, he had just returned from the border, and secondly, he was someone the prince could use in the capital. Too few, the matter can be big or small, although the name of the emperor can be used, there may still be people who don't have eyes, and building a house can be done easily in a small village What has been accomplished is very troublesome in Beijing.

Back home, Li Sushan told his grandfather about seeing the emperor in the prince's courtyard today. After hearing this, Old General Li's face turned black.Li Sushan didn't experience too many things in the world and maybe he didn't know about them, but old general Li had experienced too many things, how could he not understand what the eunuch meant, and actually hinted to the emperor that his grandson was rebellious, and his grandson was in the palace. On behalf of the Li family, implying his grandson does not mean that he is unfaithful. When did Old General Li suffer such slander, his face turned black with anger.

The Li family has always been loyal to the emperor and has never left military talismans. Although they have been generals for generations, they rely entirely on their own abilities. From then on, she decided to stand on the side of the fourth prince and help him go straight up.

In Wu County, Xiangcheng City, just after the city gate was opened, an ox cart entered the city. Steward Liu sat in the ox cart and listened to the young master's instructions. He had only been in the Wang's house for a few days, but he had already figured out the affairs of the lord's house. Although it was strange in my heart, I knew what to ask and what to say.There were three other servants who followed Steward Liu into the city. Wang Xiujin let Steward Liu enter the city. One was to identify the door of the shop, and the other was to go shopping. Now the family has some money, but they can’t let others lose it. Now These people seem to be good, but who can guarantee the future.

He went to the shop first, made an introduction to shopkeeper Yu and housekeeper Liu, and then asked the servant to lead two horses to load the car with the note written by the shopkeeper who sold the car yesterday. He and Wang Juye went to wait outside the city gate.There is a reason for Wang Xiujin to be so cautious. Yesterday, the man who booked the car had the four big characters "Local Ruffian" written on his head. He did this to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After the servant came out with the carriage, the two climbed into the carriage and drove all the way to Xiangcheng.On the way, Wang Xiujin asked the servant who he met when he was fetching the carriage. The servant replied that he met a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and asked him how much he paid for the carriage.Wang Xiujin thought he had really guessed it, so he asked the servant how he answered.

"The young one said that he bought the house for the master's house. I don't know how much it cost. The man asked me who the master's house is. He likes this car and wants to ask the price. If it is not much, he will also order one. The young one was displeased by his appearance, so he didn't tell the truth. He said that the young master's house was not here, but just passed by here. Because of a problem with the original car, he changed to a new car. The young one went to the inn on purpose. Circle around, and then leave the city."

"He's a clever one." Wang Xiujin nodded, and retreated into the car. The car is very spacious, and three adults can lie side by side. There are currently three people in it, but it's just a servant who is going home, and the rest are him. and career.

It was the first time for Wang Juye to ride in such a spacious carriage, and he was so excited that he looked around and touched.Wang Xiujin leaned on the soft cushion and closed his eyes to rest. It would take a day to go to Xiangcheng, and he hoped the road would be easier, otherwise even a shockproof car would knock people off their feet.

After a long time in the car, Wang Juye lost his initial excitement. Because of the bumpy road, he seemed not energetic. He kept asking the servant who was driving the car when he could arrive in Xiangcheng.The servant kept talking about when he would be able to reach Xiangcheng, but Wang Juye would be dejected every time he heard the answer, and it took only an hour.Seeing that the little uncle seemed to be asleep, the more Wang Juye thought about it, the more he felt wronged. Those people in the village were really bad, so the little uncle didn't want to let him go.
