Chapter 104
The father and son went there for two hours.
After returning, he went to Songyaju where Zhao lived. Ye Jinli went to bed after lunch. Ye Jinxi cleaned up and went to her mother's place.
Zhao asked: "What's wrong?"
Ye Changan entered the palace for the first time in his life. He was indeed a little nervous at first, but His Majesty was much more kind than he thought. In addition, with the more familiar Xie family, he quickly relaxed and everything went smoothly.
"Your Majesty said that the sugar workshop is located in the outskirts of Beijing and is about to be completed."
Ye Hongyuan told his sister, "When he was in Cangzhou, the sugar workshop was managed by the Xie family, so the sugar workshop in the suburbs of Beijing was still handed over to the Xie family. However, it was built in the name of his father."
Ye Jinxi was still a little surprised.
Although Xie Ying said this when she went to their family, the white sugar was so profitable that the powerful people in the capital were still crazy? The final result was mostly owned by the royal family, and then the powerful people were all involved, and finally they could be divided into the hands of the Ye family, which was less than a slight slight difference.
Seeing her doubts, Ye Hongyuan said: "The Second Young Master Xie said that before entering the capital, the eldest princess Mingyang submitted a memorial to His Majesty."
Ye Jinxi immediately understood.
No wonder Xie Ying's tone was so confident that day. From this, it can be seen that His Majesty really relies on the Xie family and respects the aunt of Princess Mingyang.
Since that's the case, why did he demote the Xie family?
She couldn't figure it out and couldn't control it.
"So the white sugar workshop is equivalent to the shared existence of it with the Ye family?"
"So that's it."
Ye Hongyuan nodded, "The workshop was ordered by His Majesty to be built by the Ministry of Works. Except for the taxes and various labor costs that must be paid every year, the other benefits belong to our family and Xie family. In addition, white sugar is provided to the court for free every year."
This is what it should be.
In other words, the profits brought by the white sugar workshop in the suburbs of Beijing are at least twice as high as those in the small workshop in Cangzhou.
No, it's not stopping.
There are more high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, and their purchasing power is greater.
Ye Jinxiguang thought about it and thought that the number was astonishingly huge. Similarly, such a large profit would inevitably attract jealousy from all parties.
The Xie family is not easy to get involved. Their family is a vulnerable group and will inevitably become the primary goal of the powerful.
Ye Jinxi smiled, "About tomorrow, a matchmaker will come to the door to propose marriage to his brother."
Xie Ying said this when she left the palace.
Not only that, there are probably many people who want to give Ye Changan a woman, and all kinds of rumors, saying that he has made a fortune by becoming a marquis of his daughter, etc.
In fact, Ye Changan had heard such remarks before when he was in Shangqing County and had long been immune. He and his wife had a deep affection and shared sorrow for so many years. How could outsiders have differentiated the words of ulterior motives? Their family came up slowly from the bottom of the world, and they were used to the world and the world. They could distinguish right from wrong and bad, and nothing was more important than their family.
It was a daydream to try to break through him and get involved in the white sugar that his daughter had carefully invented.
Zhao believes in her husband, Ye Hongyuan, Ye Jinxi and his brothers also believe in their father. So they are mentally prepared for the temptations and disagreements they may encounter.
Ye Hongyuan is now becoming more and more calm and sophisticated. He just smiled when his sister said this, and then said seriously: "The founder of Baicao is you. Compared to my father and I, more people will focus on you."
Ye Jinxi is thirteen, and he is already at the age of hiding.
She thought of what Xie Yun'e said when she was in Shangqing County. The wealthy families in the capital may not be able to like her, but if it is for the sake of "profit", it is impossible to say it.
"It's useless to put it on me."
Ye Jinxi blinked and said, "Anyway, my father and mother won't marry me casually."
Ye Changan and Zhao both laughed.
Zhao's eyes were gentle, "Jinxi is still young, so it's not too late to discuss marriage next year."
Although their family is now a marquis, ninety percent of the powerful and powerful children in the capital are despised by their origins. Even if they want to marry, they are for the sake of the white sugar workshop, and they are not sincere. The family is of low status, and their daughter is too aggrieved.
It is actually not easy to discuss marriages if you don’t get a high or a low.
Let’s talk about it when my eldest son passes the Jinshi next year.
Their family always needs someone who has real talent and knowledge and becomes an official in order to stand this plaque.
Ye Jinxi guessed it well. After the matter of the white sugar workshop was finalized, people from all sides were moved. As soon as she got up the next day, she heard from the maid that a matchmaker came to propose marriage, and it was for her brother.
"Hanzhi went to the maid of his wife to inquire. It was the Iceman invited by Jing'an Bo Mansion to serve as a matchmaker for Jing'an Bo's second daughter." Cui He said while combing her hair: "It is said that Jing'an Bo's ancestor once saved the life of Emperor Gaozu on the battlefield. He was originally appointed as the Marquis of Jing'an. However, the descendants of the descendants were not good at doing anything and were demoted to the count. In recent generations, they have not become popular, and they have become counts. They have not become popular in recent generations, and have become increasingly declining, and have long lost their former glory. The housekeeper also said that Jing'an Bo Mansion has a complex population, and has been used to being extravagant in the past and is very tight. Now it is just a false appearance."
Of course, the difficulty of the Earl of Houmen is not on the same level as the difficulty of ordinary people.
What ordinary people need is a place where you can have enough food and clothing. On this basis, it is considered very good if you are a little better. After eating for the first meal, it is called financial difficulties. But the Earl of the Houmen is different.
There is a saying that the rich people have frozen bones on the road of wine and meat.
This is extravagant.
To put it another level, there are fewer pieces of gorgeous clothes, fewer dishes on the dining table, and less two pieces of jewelry that can be displayed when going out.
Even worse than this, it is considered a shortage of capital.
Simply put, there is no shortage of food and drink, and there is no shortage of clothing when you can hold a few banquets occasionally, and there is no shortage of food fiefs and farm shops.
Uncle Jing'an wanted to marry his daughter, but he just fell in love with the fat piece of white sugar, and was afraid that he wanted to pay dividends based on his in-laws relationship.
It's really a good plan.
Ye Jinxi complained in his heart, but knew that his mother would definitely not agree. Family background is second, first of all, character. Otherwise, if you marry him in the future, you will be fussy.
"Let Hanzhi go to Songya to stay. I guess I'm afraid that more than this one will come to visit today."
It's more than that.
Before the ice man invited by Jing'an Bo Mansion left, the ice man from the Ministry of Revenue Services' Office arrived.
Ye Jinxi leaned on the soft couch, listening to the maid's report while eating snacks, and laughed when she heard this.
It seems that this Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is interested in competing for the position of Shangshu.
This capital is really lively.
In just half a day, she saw the powerful and noble family's desire for profit and private plots.
"Miss, I'm here now to the Minister of Personnel's Office, and I'm also here for the prince."
Ye Jinxi fed her sister a piece of hibiscus cake and nodded casually.
"My brother just entered the Imperial College and will take the provincial examination in August this year. If he passes, next year's examination will be invigilated by the Ministry of Personnel. This is a threat to my brother's future."
If her mother doesn't agree, the Minister of Personnel will let her brother fail the exam next year.
Pooh!
What officials are there in the Great Zhou Dynasty?
No wonder the emperor couldn't wait to recall the Xie family. He probably hoped that the Xie family would clear the dirty things.
Cui He didn't understand these twists and turns, "Will the wife respond to this marriage in the Minister of Personnel's Office?"
Ye Jinxi asked Cui He to press her shoulders and said, "A father is so domineering and unreasonable. Even if his daughter is a good one, the two families will have to make trouble in the future. Our family has just come to the capital and has no roots and no foundations, so we can't control it? My mother will definitely not agree."
"Then, wouldn't you offend the Minister of Personnel's Office?"
"So many people come to ask for marriage, and if they refuse, they will offend people. I can't divide my brother into ten or eight yuan. Is it a person who marry me? Let's wait. The more these adults are, the more unhappy the palace is." Ye Jinxi didn't understand what the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty was, but at least she understood history and politics, and the basic analysis was still the same. "The people who came here are not really powerful now. Those families are still watching, so why are they anxious?"
However, those top wealthy families are now noble and unruly, and they are probably looking down on rookies like them, who are civilians. In most cases, they just marry a concubine who is not very favored.
As for political marriage, we all hope to exchange the minimum capital for the greatest profit.
One by one, very cunning.
Ye Jinxi crossed her legs and ate her brother's melon. As she ate, she ate her own melon.
"Girl, just now, news came from Song Yaju that the wife of the Northern Army Captain is here. For her second son, I would like to marry you."
Ye Jinxi was drinking tea, but almost choked to death when she heard this.
Chapter completed!
