Chapter 68 Princess Wan'an(1/2)

Zhao Xin only thought Lin Yun was a small episode. After the rumors that troubled her in the capital disappeared, she did not take this person to heart, but she did not expect that after half a month, she heard the name Lin Yun again.

She played with a small bottle that looked extremely familiar in her hand and refracted different brilliances in the sun because of the liquid flowing inside it.

The manager of the Princess's Mansion said respectfully, "I heard that this is the latest perfume in Beijing recently, or it is a bottle called glass."

9526: "..." The system senior Zeng Yun, time travelers love to mess around the world, but they don't deceive it.

Zhao Xin admired the craftsmanship that glass can produce in this era. Well, it is not as pure as the glass that enters the palace in small countries in the Western Regions, and the impurities are relatively high. However, glass in the Western Regions is rare. This kind of glass appears on the surface of Beijing cities, and it is still very attractive. It is not expensive to sell for dozens of gold.

However, Zhao Xin would not buy it. It was not bought by the people from the Princess' Mansion. It was just that someone bought it and sent it. Zhao Xin, the princess of Luohe, is also a bit worthy. Some people want to follow the path of Princess Luohe. Unfortunately, Zhao Xin is low-key and doesn't like to go out on weekdays, so she rarely interacts with nobles.

"It is rumored that the one who made this perfume and glass was Lin Yunlin. " Although the manager respectfully called Mr. Lin, he had obvious contempt in his eyes. Even if he was a slave, he looked down on him. Lin Yun was not a good scholar and did not go the right path to the imperial examination, but he studied these things. Why didn't he make people laugh?

If Zhao Xin asked him to answer, of course he would lose his reputation and seek profit.

It’s a pity that before Zhao Xin wanted to kill him, he was so mean to death. After giving the glass perfume bottle to a maid who liked it, Zhao Xin sighed silently.

Zhao Xin guessed well, Lin Yun's fame was even worse than Momo Wuming, who had just arrived in the capital.

Doing business in person is undoubtedly a way to achieve the imperial examination. Although after the imperial poet was demoted, he was almost impossible to be valued by Emperor Zhao Jin. Now, let alone participating in the imperial examination, scholars do not want to join such self-deprecating people.

Lin Yun didn't care. He came from modern times and had no prejudice against doing business. He even felt that when he became a rich man in the world, he could still make achievements. The most important thing was to be rich, and his reputation was all about being noble and corrupt scholars who fooled people.

He was also thinking about redeeming the beauties he met before. Alas, those madams were really greedy for money, and they could only say tens of thousands of taels at the beginning. But how could Lin Yun be willing to stay in such a place to compromise with the beauty he had loved.

Jin Shanhai thought of dissuading him, but he still wanted to send his children and grandchildren to study and rely on imperial examinations to get rid of his businessman. Lin Yun, a very good talent, did the opposite. Jin Shanhai couldn't understand it, but he still borrowed money to start a business for Lin Yun.

Perfume and glass are so popular in Beijing, Jinshanhai is both happy and worried.

He was happy with the money he had come, and was worried that he would not be able to protect this business. He was guilty of possessing a treasure, but Lin Yun didn't care. He was a world-famous poet and a former royal poet. Who dared to cause trouble for him?

At the foot of the emperor, no one dared to openly seize other people's property in the capital, but it was not easy to do it, and there were also dark things. Moreover, Lin Yun offended many noble and high-ranking children. It would have been fine if he had left the capital as soon as possible. Lin Yun actually dared to stay here, and there were many people waiting to deal with him.

Soon someone took the initiative to find Lin Yun to cooperate. Lin Yun was unwilling at first. He knew the huge profits in the perfume glass best. He could share some soup with gold and sea. It was because of the past relationship, but he was reluctant to let others take advantage of it.

The other party was also cunning and designed several traps to cause trouble for Lin Yun's business and then came forward to make favors. They also studied Lin Yun's temperament. Although he was selfish and lustful, he was easy to fool and easily trustworthy. He also accidentally encountered Lin Yun and his master's adopted daughter.

In this way, Lin Yun will almost become a marriage relationship, let alone be grateful.

After holding a few tables of banquets, he took the Miss Dong family as his concubine. Lin Yun also felt that the Dong family had a vision and could see that his future was more than this. He was knowledgeable and did not force the position of a wife.

Jin Shanhai vaguely felt that it was too coincidental, but he was just a small businessman. With more ways to go, he couldn't tell whether the Dong family was good or bad. Moreover, the relationship between the Dong family and Lin Yun is now closer to him.

After becoming an in-law, Lin Yun became quite generous. He just gave a few shops to his women. Besides, there were many business ideas in his mind.

In less than two months, the perfume and glass industry changed its surname to Dong, and then Lin Yun was knocked out of the management by Dong's family.

After Miss Dong returned to her parents' home, she did not come back. She took Feng Heli Shu by someone. Lin Yun almost fainted when he saw it.

The things he had worked hard to make were actually made wedding dresses for others.

The accompanying Lin Yun also became a joke in the capital. Even if he reported the official position, it would be useless. The things were all Lin Yun to the Miss Dong family and the Dong family, so how could he deceive and occupy it? Lin Yun was also sentenced to a crime of false accusation in prison for several days, but Jin Shanhai spent money to protect him.

The nobles from each family also used this to teach their daughter who had been thinking of Lin Caizi before. She was talented but had no ability or character. What is the difference between it and embroidered pillows?

After two blows in a row, Lin Yun had to leave the capital with Jin Shanhai in disappointment.

Jin Shanhai soon separated from him. He was a businessman and had to go around. He had no energy to mess with Lin Yun. It was okay to make friends, but he would be spared. He was also very moved by the ups and downs of his experience in the capital.

However, who can you blame when you fall into this situation?

Zhao Xin knew about this because the glass and perfume business had been sold several times and came to the hands of a royal merchant. The new owner was smart and not only offered glass manufacturing technology to the court, but also gave the perfume shop 30% of the profit from the Beijing branch to the princess's house, 30% of the property belonged to the empress's mother's house, and 20% of the property belonged to other noble families.

The new owner was originally an imperial merchant, and he was best at this. He only left 20% of it, which was enough to make endless money. With these filial piety and show kindness to the court, his eldest son also entered the Imperial College. One of the two daughters in the family married to the Prince Cheng's Mansion as a concubine, and the other married to the youngest son of the Minister of Revenue.

He is very smart.

It’s not surprising that Lin Yun fell down hard. In fact, it was a routine that was as fierce as modern business competition, a different method, but the core was the same, and then the skin of the beauty scheme was covered.

Perhaps Lin Yun didn't know that the lady of the Dong family he accepted was originally a dancer raised by the Dong family. When needed, he would give it to the powerful and noble family to walk through the way.

Otherwise, the Dong family’s biological daughter would give it to a down-and-out talented man as a concubine?

The imperial merchants dared to respect themselves at the princess's house, and did not dare to hide anything from this jealous business. They knew the origin and process clearly.

Zhao Xin originally wanted to push for the 30% profit. Her fiefdom tax revenue was a lot of salt, and she was not short of money. However, the queen advised her that she had a lot of expenses to build a pharmacy in Jiangnan, and that His Majesty also knew about this, so she just kept it.

The Jiangnan Pharmacy was developing just right, and this was due to Zhao Jin's tacit consent. The Jiangnan flood that had only been encountered in a few years ascending the throne reminded him that natural disasters are easy to rescue and people's hearts are unpredictable. From the beginning of concealing the disaster situation to the later delays in disaster relief and embezzling relief funds, Zhao Jin was so busy that he had no time to get angry, but he was so tired that he was dizzy.

A few people were killed to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Zhao Jin really didn't want such incidents to happen again.

Later, he noticed that Luohe supported the Jiangnan Pharmacy built by Wei Shaosi, and he thought about it. Of course, Zhao Jin did not have any hope for the Jiangnan Pharmacy at the beginning. For the weak doctors who did not know anything except medical skills to cure diseases and save lives, and did not know how to plot, supervise Jiangnan officials, collect evidence, etc., Zhao Jin did not consider it.

He only hopes that once a disaster occurs, the rice and medicine prices in Jiangnan can be stable, and even if there is a problem, the news can be transmitted back to the capital as soon as possible.

Jiangnan Pharmacy mainly supplies the people, and there is no expensive medicine. With the support of Princess Luohe and the imperial court, it can continue to prescribe.

In the past three years, although Zhao Jin did not see the effect he expected, he saw the people praise Jiangnan Pharmacy. The main person in the pharmacy was Wei Shaosi, and even Princess Luohe was hidden behind the scenes. Outsiders only knew that the reason why they supported the sponsorship was because the two had a good personal relationship.

Zhao Jin did not point out the imperial sign, just to avoid those who are interested in framing the imperial court with the excuse of competing for profit with the people.

He only told Zhao Xin about this. He had never intervened in the Jiangnan Medicine Hall. From the beginning to the end, Luohe and Wei Shaosi worked hard to build the medicine hall. He just saw the benefits of the medicine hall to the people of Jiangnan.

This is enough for Luohe to be involved in this matter. Others will not say Luohe or compete for profit with the people. But for three years in Jiangnan, Luohe was always practicing Taoist temples and never touched everything.

The happiest part of this is Wei Shaosi. He is unwilling to examine the ideas of the people above. He is satisfied with being his doctor and treating diseases and saving lives. Neither a high official or a noble family reputation has anything to do with him.

***

It has only been three months since the Spring Examination. Due to Lin Yun's previous reasons, Zhao Xin also paid attention to the imperial examination.

She once thought that after Lin Yun failed to hook up with her, she would go and take the imperial examination honestly.

Perhaps because Lin Yun was too troubled and a flash in the pan, all the students in the imperial examination were in peace this time, which made him look much more gloomy than the previous session. The streets of the Beijing teahouses and alleys were talking about outstanding figures in the imperial examinations. Not to mention the talented men from all over the world, three of the four young masters in the capital participated. Three years have passed, Zhou Mingjia, the eldest son of Zhou Ge, was released two months ago. Song Anshi, the son of the right prime minister, was still in the Hanlin Academy. Tan Yuze, the grandson of the president of Yunshan Academy, married the lord of Jin'an County and served in the Ministry of Rites.

When Zhao Xin came to visit the queen in the palace, Zhao Jin also talked about the idle affairs of the imperial examination with her. When talking about the last term, a student lived in a dilapidated temple outside the city because of his downfall. As a result, the storm was too heavy and the night was cold. Not only did he fail to participate in the imperial examination, he also lost his life.

After hearing that time, Zhao Jin felt sad that the imperial examination was originally intended to be used by the country for the purpose of taking the talents of the world, but he did not want anyone to die because of this.

Logically speaking, when you get a scholar's fame, you will have food and food in the prefectures and counties, so you won't be so down and unable to afford to live in an inn. However, the actual situation is that there are many scholars from other places and the journey is long, so all kinds of bad situations will inevitably occur, such as sudden illness and loss of money or encountering bad people.

Zhao Jin was also worried about this.

Zhao Xin could establish some ordinary hikes, which were specially designed for poor children to move in during the spring examination, and the emperor was grateful to him.

Zhao Jin felt that it was desirable. Now that time is still enough, even if you can have a brick and tile to accommodate, it is better than missing out on the opportunity to conduct scientific research because of these foreign objects and it is difficult to serve the country.

Zhao Xin only suggested a few words, but did not ask the emperor how he did it later.

She was concerned about the training of the princess guards recently. Her guards had 500 places, and 80 of them were selected and presented to Zhao Xin by the emperor's brother Zhao Jin from his Yulin Army. As for the other people, his martial arts were a little less skilled.

During the Qingyuan Temple, Zhao Xin specially trained them to learn some boxing and martial arts. Recently, he hired a general of Huwei to provide guidance in the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.

Of course, Zhao Xin himself does not need anyone to protect him. Instead of wasting these guards, it is better to train well.

The general who came was surnamed Gu, and because he had some friendship with Baiyao developed by Jiangnan Pharmaceutical Hall, he was not as cold and hard as other powerful people when he saw her, and even thanked Zhao Xin for that matter.

If the court prince had a relationship with the people in the army, he might have to be frightened, but Zhao Xin was just a princess, and no one would be afraid of anything.

After watching the process of training soldiers in the military camp, Zhao Xin suddenly remembered that there were still some things left in her Qingyuan Temple's alchemy furnace, and she didn't know if she should take them out.

As Zhao Xin said, Zhao Jin ordered people to build several tents. Although they were not as good as inns, they were clean and tidy, with basic conditions for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and were exclusively for the children of poor families.

If it is built by others, it is either suspected that it is possible to win over the candidates, or scholars are noble and arrogant and unwilling to receive food from pity.

But if it were built by the emperor, it would be completely different. They went to Beijing to take the exam in order to become the emperor's disciples, so they naturally would be willing to live in these camps. Some even would rather leave the inn than stay in the camp.

Some of Hanzi, who were really embarrassed, felt dissatisfied and accused those people of occupying the opportunity to stay where the emperor had pity them.

Immediately, someone curbed the bad signs, and the rich children asked to leave the inn and gave them to poor students. The person who was so excited about the moment he started to make a fuss was also moved and ashamed and did not go to the travel hall again.

Things have also developed smoothly.

The scholars also praised Zhao Jin very much, and the emperor was kind to protect the poor people in the world.

Zhao Jin smiled in the court and said, "This matter was proposed by Princess Luohe."

Zhao Xin was a little surprised to receive the reward unexpectedly, because whether it was to implement this suggestion or to guide healthy development, it was the emperor's brother Zhao Jin, and she really didn't do much.

But since all this is done, Zhao Xin didn't mind proposing to build a collection everywhere. As for money, didn't the court just take over the technology of glass? After improving the purity of the Ministry of Works and mass production, it was sold to the barbarians in the north.

The construction of some Tibetans is not only conducive to winning the hearts of scholars, but also indeed benefits the people.

As for Lin Yun, who did not take the imperial examination and did not succeed in getting rich, after returning to his hometown Jiangzhou, he had experience in the capital. He did not dare to come up with any new ideas to do business. He didn't know whether he gave up or something, but he won the heart of a local wealthy family through poetry. The family didn't know Lin Yun's reputation in Beijing, and saw that his daughter was like a ecstasy, and insisted on marrying Lin Yun, so he had to compromise.

However, before marriage, he was ready to take control of Lin Yun, a small juren. The Fuzi he accepted, was given medicine early and could not give birth. In Jiangzhou, Lin Yun could only rely on the Yue family and dared not say anything.

Not long after, his newly married wife became pregnant.

Lin Yun had an idea, although he could not become a winner in life, his son could.

He decided to work hard to raise his son, and by the way he also gave up the idea of ​​three wives and four concubines. His aristocratic wife is not easy to mess with. It is not easy to tolerate a Fuli who is not threatening. He also discovered some clues about him after marriage, but she would not say it out even if her husband is honored and his wife is honored. There was nothing wrong with him except when he was a little cold to him.

***

After the imperial examination, the emperor came to his 30th birthday and held a banquet for thousands of Summer Palace, hosting a banquet for ministers and their families, as well as concubines in the palace.

On the queen's birthday month ago, Zhao Xin made a portrait of the pregnant queen, like Guanyin in the temple, which was so vivid that the queen liked it very much, and even Zhao Jin was a little jealous when he saw it.

So I also wanted Zhao Xin to draw a picture for him, although it was a very reserved hint.

Zhao Xin was also happy, "Since the emperor likes it, Luohe will draw one."

"However, I will have to paint this painting for a long time, the emperor can wait for half a day." Zhao Xin smiled slightly,
