Concubine Raiders: Rebirth As a Queen

"Bingde, should that matter be handled? The emperor doesn't want to delay the New Year." Qiao Jianyu suddenly said to Shen Bingde.

"Okay." Shen Bingde nodded, saying that he had taken care of everything a year ago.

"Well, that's good." Qiao Jianyu finished, got up, bowed his hand to Shen Shen Yin, and said, "The Prime Minister, I won't be bothering you today, and there are other houses to go. The Prime Minister also has other guests. I'm afraid that the time has already been arranged, so let's wait."

"It's okay, it's okay." Shen Shenyin also got up, and then everyone got up, ready to send Qiao Jianyu, Shen Shenyin said, "Little Houye can ask me if you have something to do in the future. You are not familiar with your life in the capital. What do you need? I will do it. Senior's naturally also help."

Shen Anyan's eyes flashed. Sure enough, Qiao Jianyu has his own way of communicating with others. His own set is really easy to use. It was just a chance to get along with Shen Shenyin, so he climbed up to the current prime minister. Only with less effort can Shen Shenyin like him now.

"Thank you Lord Shen!" Qiao Jianyu said with a smile, with a bright smile on his face, a jade-white complexion, and an elegant and elegant temperament. Shen Qingrong on the side was simply staring.

Qiao Jianyu smiled at Shen Bingde, then turned his head and glanced at Shen Anyan. Before Shen Anyan could catch him, Qiao Jianyu had already turned his head and went back.

Shen Shenyin said to Shen Bingde, "Bingde, you can send off Master Hou."

"Yes." Shen Bingde leaned slightly and led Qiao Jianyu to send him out of the Shen Mansion.

The backs of the two disappeared at the gate of the main hall, and Shen Anyan's eyes followed the two, as they walked farther and farther, not knowing what they were talking about, and they talked very happily.

It seems that even Shen Shenyin knows that the two people are close friends, but Shen Shenyin did not tell Shen Anyan.

What kind of calculation is this?

What Shen Anyan didn’t know was that Shen Shen Yin knew that there was something wrong between Shen Anyan and Qiao Jianyu. In the past few times, how could Shen Shen Yin, who looked like a human being, couldn’t see it. Since Qiao Jianyu and Shen Anyan didn’t like each other, then Shen Anyan was certain I don't want my own younger brother to associate with such people. As the saying goes, if a person is not pleasing to the eye, he will have shortcomings everywhere. Shen Bingde is now young. If Shen Anyan’s influence on Shen Bingde is too great and he continues to command Shen Bingde’s life path, then one day, Shen Bingde will become more and more honorable to Shen Anyan and is controlled by Shen Anyan. Shen Anyan says that one is one. Two is two. He doesn't want Shen Anyan to use Shen Bingde's identity to control Shen Bingde and fight for power and property in Shen Mansion. Later, Shen Mansion is controlled by a daughter's family. This is a situation that Shen Shen Yin will never allow. . Shen Bingde is now young and cares about family affection, while Shen Anyan is too smart and too mature. Shen Anyan is a boudoir girl, so she can't do anything, but Shen Bingde has an identity. Shen Anyan knows how to play with power at a young age. If she and Shen Bingde join forces to fight for a goal together, Shen Anyan as the mastermind, sooner or later, the two will disturb the seemingly peaceful waters of the political arena, and finally take power.

This is not impossible. At first, Shen Shen Yin was thinking about why Shen Anyan did that, and what good would it do for Shen Anyan, but now Shen Shen Yin knew that Shen Anyan wanted to cultivate forces to help Yin Chenlang and assist Yin Chenlang.

Shen Bingde's current choice made Shen Shenyin very satisfied, and she didn't have a foolish brain to help Yin Chenlang because of Shen Anyan, but over time, it was difficult to prevent Shen Bingde from being used by Shen Anyan.

Therefore, Shen Shenyin hopes that Shen Anyan will be less involved in Shen Bingde's affairs in the political arena, ruining the future of Shen Bingde, a good boy, and burying Yin Chenlang. Of course, Shen Bingde is also related to the honor and future of Shen Mansion, and he is also considering Shen Mansion.

It doesn't mean that Yin Chenlang has no possibility of seizing the protagonist. In short, two people are evenly matched, who is right, this is the same as walking a single-plank bridge on a cliff.

"Master, madam, the carriage of Lin Mansion has stopped at the door." Steward Qi came in.

"Please come in soon." Ye Qiu Ni said.

Shen Qinghan's body was startled, his expression was astonished, and he looked at the entrance of the main hall enthusiastically, as if he was eager to see Lin Xiuye.

People from the Lin Mansion came in and served a new cup of tea and some snacks.

As soon as the people from the Lin Mansion came in, they were enviable in the costumes.

For example, the Shangshu of the Household Department of the Lin Mansion and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department of the Jiang Mansion had good friends with Shen Shenyin and their parents. Therefore, the ladies in these prefectures also have a good relationship, and Jiang Xuefan and Shen Lingyang are good friends.

Lin Huaineng followed. He first saw Shen Anyan when he came in, and gave Shen Anyan a face-to-face. Shen Anyan nodded, which was regarded as a reply.

"Hello, Master Lin." Shen Shenyin laughed twice, and smiled at Lin Zhifeng.

Also with Lin Zhifeng was his cousin Lin Zhihong.

"Shen Master is good." Lin Zhifeng smiled, pulled Lin Zhihong over, and introduced, "This is my cousin, I don't know if Master Shen remembers it."

At this time of the year, Lin Zhifeng and Lin Zhihong both celebrate the New Year together, how could Shen Shenyin not remember.

"Remember, of course I know that the forest clerk is good outside." Shen Shenyin smiled, and then pointed to the seat, "Come on, let's sit down and say."

Because Lin Zhihong was in business, he couldn't get an official position. As a royal merchant, it didn't matter to Lin Zhihong that he couldn't get an official position.

The children of Shen Mansion and Lin Mansion both bowed and greeted each other before sitting down quietly.

"Master Shen, I am going to pay New Year's greetings today, and I am going to give a small gift." Lin Zhihong said.

Shen Shenyin's eyes flashed, and then he smiled, "The member of the forest is really polite."

Lin Zhihong clapped his hands, and the family of the Lin Mansion brought up a few boxes. The boxes were neatly placed in the center of the main hall. Lin Zhifeng ordered them to open them. The boxes were opened. Inside were all rare and dazzling treasures.

This made everyone stunned. Lin Zhihong was really spending money this time.

Shen Anyan couldn't help but sigh. There are so many people who give gifts to Shen Shenyin. It's hard to imagine how rich the Prime Minister's Mansion is.

"What is Lin Yuanwai doing? It really cost the outsiders." Shen Shenyin saw these things and knew that this was not just a gift, it must have a purpose and ask for something.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhihong was not in a hurry, and continued slowly, "There are still some red envelopes for the daughters of Shen Mansion."

After Lin Zhihong said, he walked up to the maid, followed by four small servants holding red envelopes. They were given red envelopes one by one. The red envelopes were embroidered with gold and silver threads. The red envelopes were made of fine fabric. They were filled with gems and pearls and held them in their hands. Heavy.

From Shen Lingyang and Shen Changbi, to Shen Weijie and Shen Anyan, then Shen Qinghan and Shen Yingqing, Shen Qingrong and Shen Yalan, the two maidservants stood aside after finishing their hair.

Shen Anyan smiled and took the red envelope, and weighed the weight with her hands. When she first got it, she could hardly hold it with one hand. I am afraid it was about twenty or thirty-two.

Everyone is two hundred and thirty taels of silver, and the eight young ladies in the Shen Mansion are about two hundred taels. They are really generous and generous.

"Master Shen, this thing is like this. Now you need to buy medicinal materials. The previous drug dealers were good in the family, but the heirs of the older generation got sick. The heirs of this generation started to take care of things and knew nothing. , I think this is going to be a problem." Lin Zhihong spoke very directly and immediately said his intention.

Shen Shen Yin agreed, nodded, and asked, "So, Lin Yuan is hoping to change the drug dealer? But as far as I know, Lin Yuan doesn't seem to sell medicinal materials."

The new generation of heirs does not say nothing, but that he is obsessed with book knowledge, whether it is temperament, heart, thought or appearance, they are all like a scholar. The family just has money for him to study and cultivate his sentiment. Thinking of this child, I fell in love with the old heir. The old heir was not angry. When he came, he didn’t expect that the old heir would be sick when he said that he was sick. Absolutely powerless to help take care of the family background.

The new heir carried the burden, but didn't care about it.

If he was asked to become an official, this would not work, because the businessman’s son was not allowed to be an official, so the official career had been strictly closed for him, but he still liked to read, like to discuss national affairs and the current situation, and he had nothing to write about. A poem can surprise the world.

But there are no exceptions. With the first exception, there will be more exceptions. He wants to be an official, serve the country, and share the worries for the emperor. This is almost impossible in his life.

"It's like this. I have opened a pharmacy in Beijing now, and it's still booming." Lin Zhihong explained, paused, and said, "So I do have this capital. This pharmacy is definitely one of the largest pharmacies in Beijing. "

Shen Shenyin nodded, "As long as these conditions pass, it will be much better. But there is another point. Their family has been a pharmacist for generations and has a foundation for a hundred years. In addition to selling medicines to the royal family, it is also a big deal to be an imperial pharmacist. Ten years later, I am afraid that I have a deep relationship with the royal family, and the royal family trusts them very much. They also have a tacit understanding with the Taiyuan Hospital and cooperate well. I am afraid it is really not easy to replace them."

"The Prime Minister said exactly, I also know it is a difficult thing." Lin Zhihong said, "However, I sell grain and cloth to the inner court. These are huge consumables and the most daily, so I can say that it is the biggest. One of the emperor merchants in China, to replace him as the new medicine emperor merchant, in terms of qualifications, it is definitely more than enough."

Shen Shen Yin knew it, and asked, "However, the purchase and purchase of materials required by the palace and the government are all handled by the household department, which is useless to me."

After Shen Shenyin finished speaking, Lin Zhifeng smiled and said, "Businessmen and the feudal government have an unusual relationship of mutual trust; the government uses the imperial merchants as a tool for the government to implement fiscal policies and provide military assistance, but if too much family dominates It’s hard to guarantee that you won’t be suppressed."

All those who listened carefully to Lin Zhifeng understood what Lin Zhifeng meant. Lin Zhihong was responsible for the food and clothing of the imperial palace. They were already the two largest parts. If he can still obtain the qualifications for supply of medicinal materials, he will undoubtedly be the only one. , Became the largest emperor merchant.

The imperial merchants are managed by the household department, and Lin Zhifeng, Shangshu of the household department, lives in the same house with Lin Zhihong. They support each other and are related by blood. The two basically monopolize the market, and the Lin family will become the wealthiest individual.

"So... you want, let me suggest?" Shen Shenyin asked.

If the prime minister is responsible for this matter, it will be very simple. First, arrange for someone to do the job. The prime minister is an official who assists the emperor's prime minister Hakjeong. This matter will naturally be criticized by Zhu with a sentence of "yes", which will give the emperor the first. The impression, which was then presented to the emperor for trial, was actually not brought up by himself, and the emperor would not be so wary. After all, it was just a relationship between buying and selling, and it couldn't make any big waves.

Shen Shenyin is also one of them, and naturally knows how to operate.

Shen Anyan smiled. At the beginning, the merchants who purchased various materials for the royal court were named "Imperial Merchants". These people often rely on the situation to deceive others and dominate the market. The incidents of "borrowing the people" are endless, and incidentally, they are also dissatisfied with the royal family. Therefore, the emperors of successive dynasties imposed certain restrictions on the power of the imperial merchants. If an imperial merchant was too powerful and managed the medicine and food of the imperial court, and even when there was cloth, it would be the only one. The royal family wanted to find a new person to replace it, and it was impossible to find three qualified royal merchants at once. After all, the financial and strength requirements for the royal merchants were very high, and the important thing was that it would take a long time to go. Check the innocence, whether the family is innocent and trustworthy. In case someone who cannot be trusted or someone who is willing to harm others for the sake of a small favor becomes a royal merchant, then it is very troublesome. When did the palace be sent into poisonous food? Do not know at all.

After the Great Zhou Dynasty changed, the number of imperial merchants increased, and there were many imperial merchants to choose from. If this fails, the next imperial merchant will be found in advance. These merchants are often rich in financial resources. , Is quite influential in the city, and the family is innocent. The royal family will prepare a lot of such qualified royal merchants in advance to replace them at any time in case of emergency. When they are not responsible for the inner court food, cloth or medicinal materials, what is their use? Sometimes, the imperial court’s food supply was insufficient, and the merchants’ power would be used to obtain their support, and a certain degree of benefit should be given to them.

In this way, these potential "imperial merchants" can be retained.

The main business factions developed in this way.

Although the emperor had long been able to deal with the dominance of the imperial merchant family, no one wants to make trouble for himself. If it is a trouble that can be avoided in the first place, why should he ask for it? The imperial merchant, Lin Zhihong, does not mean that it can be exchanged. Who is behind Lin Zhihong? Lin Zhifeng, the official book of the household department, Lin Zhifeng, Lin Zhifeng is the person responsible for selecting the imperial merchants and managing the imperial merchants and imperial merchants purchasing.

This kind of force is intertwined, and it is even more troublesome.

Regardless of whether the Lin family has made this calculation or not, the emperor will definitely hope to prevent it from happening in the future. To be continued. Please browse for a better reading experience.
