The emperor looked at Wen Wan and asked teasingly, "Seeing that you are so happy, you must have thought of some easy way to make money." Wen Wan nodded happily, and then told the emperor about her idea.
"This bank you are talking about is just a combination of a bank and a pawn shop. How much money can you make?" The emperor has such a clever mind! The key point was hit immediately. I admire Wen Wan so much!
He said softly, "It's not the same, it's not, it's a little similar. But don't look at the small profit, when combined, the profit is very big. If it works well, it can make millions of taels of silver a year, that's not a problem." of."
Not only do the banks here have no interest, but they also have to pay them monthly custody fees. Once the bank opens, it will not pay interest and will be kept alone. With the backing of the treasury, we are not afraid of swallowing their money. By then there will definitely be a lot of people saving money, and they will then lend the money out and earn the price difference over and over again. The profits will definitely be very optimistic.
The emperor looked at Wen Wan strangely, why he suddenly wanted to open a bank.
Wen Wan nodded firmly, "Uncle, I opened this bank not only to make money. Don't underestimate this bank, it will have a big role in the future." But this big role has not even sprouted now, and Wen Wan is just Stop talking nonsense. When the time comes, Wen Wan will tell the emperor. Wenwan is preparing to develop her bank into a national bank. I believe that having a national bank that has both an adjustment function and a backing function and cooperates with powerful banks in various places will be able to promote economic development (Wen Wan believes that private banks are prone to problems).
After Wen Wan finished speaking to the emperor, she went back. She had to sort out the stall as soon as possible. Because a bank's business will not improve in a day or two. The most important thing for a bank is its reputation. Don¡¯t expect big development within three to five years (the main reason is that Wenwan is not seeking huge profits. It is for future plans, so we must move forward steadily step by step).
The emperor was in the Imperial Study Room after lunch and learned about Zuixiang Tower. When he found out, he sneered and stopped talking. Guo family. Guo Tong. How dare you think of Wen Wan. Something to seek death for.
On the same day, the queen's biological father, Duke Guo, was reprimanded by the emperor for not being strict with his children and had his post taken prisoner. Only the title of third-class Duke was retained. Guo Tong was beaten twelve times by the emperor and thrown into the military camp, saying that he wanted to change his character.
The emperor behaves like this. It is very disrespectful to the queen and the prince. Many people who knew the inside story were secretly stunned. For the sake of my niece, I gave up my official position as the father-in-law and reprimanded and beat my uncle. Is this pampering too much?
When Wen Wan returned to the mansion, she knew that Shang Lin was getting married. Since Xia Yao was scolded by Wen Wan last time, she no longer dares to make decisions without permission. Even if she knew what Wen Wan would do, she still told Wen Wan. Then convey the gentle meaning. He waved his hands gently and didn't take it to heart.
Wen Wan is in the study, and the table is covered with paper. They were all things like charters written by her. There is also a lot of information sent by Xia Ying about banks, pawn shops and so on.
Wenwan looked at the information, thinking that she would have to spend time in the study again. At the same time, it also allows people to look for such talents. Of course, if you can dig the corner of the wall by the way, go dig the corner.
"Princess, the Crown Princess is here to see you." Wen Wan was a little strange at first, but then it became clear. Let Ying enter the main courtyard and wait, he will be there soon. Then Rang locked the study and went to change into his casual clothes. Wearing a moon-white dress, her hair is tied up with silver hairpins, and there are no other embellishments on her body. So he went to the main hall to see the Crown Princess Ruyu.
Ruyu looked at the main hall. I saw a portrait of Maitreya Buddha and Bodhisattva hanging on the wall facing the main hall, smiling happily. Below the Buddha statue are tables, tables and chairs. There is a cauldron on the table, and incense is burning in the cauldron. There are two graphite chairs on the left and right sides of the shore, and two rows of graphite tables and chairs below. It's very plain, not even a few accessories. According to legend, as long as the granddaughter observes nine months, she will be successful. This kind of gentle behavior is preparing to maintain filial piety.
Arriving at the main hall, Wen Wan saw Ru Yu wearing a formal suit. Wen Wan looked at Ru Yu wearing formal clothes. Quite strange. Now, what are you doing here in formal attire? Could it be that she was here to show that she was only persuading as the princess today and not from her own heart. No matter what you do sincerely or with your identity, it is the same to Wen Wan. The two have different positions and different attitudes.
Wenwan knew what happened to the Guo family immediately. She has nothing to fear. This is not her property. The emperor's property also dares to think about it and seek death.
The two of them were of the same rank, so naturally they didn't need a big gift, so they sat down gently to greet her. Seeing that Ru Yu was about to speak, he waved his hand gently and everyone else went down. The two personal maids Bao Yun and Xia Yao were left behind.
"Sister Wen Wan, it's like this. What happened in Zui Xianglou before was caused by the conflict between the uncle and the king without knowing the inside story. When the father-in-law and the empress found out, they reprimanded them, and the emperor also punished them."?Now, I am here to apologize to you on behalf of my mother and my uncle Guo Tong. Ru Yu said gently. Bao Yun immediately brought a box made of agarwood over. It looked heavy, so it was probably a good thing.
Wen Wan was deliberately confused, "What's going on? Why didn't I know? As soon as I returned to the mansion, I was in the study. I kept working on something in the mansion and didn't care about things outside. What happened?"
Ruyu was stunned, she didn¡¯t believe Wen Wan¡¯s words in her heart. But Wen Wan's behavior really doesn't look like lying.
Xia Yao answered, "Princess, it's like this. Yesterday, someone came to Zuixiang Tower to cause trouble and wanted to blackmail us. We sent the person to the governor of Kyoto and left it alone. Later I heard that the mastermind behind the scenes was the national government. Uncle Guo. We saw that the princess was busy with the charter, so we didn¡¯t tell you.¡±
Wen Wan chuckled. With a pure and harmless expression, "Haha, if you dare to disturb Mr. Tai Sui, you will have to be reprimanded. Master Guo is also unlucky. He went to Zuixiang Tower to cause trouble. If he didn't come to the emperor's door, he would rebuke."
Ruyu was stunned at first. Then he understood, and lost his voice, "Wen Wan, you mean, the restaurant, the restaurant does not belong to you, but to the father?"
"Yes, the restaurant was moved out of the way by the emperor's uncle. The emperor's uncle is the owner behind the scenes. I am responsible for the operation and management of the restaurant, and the emperor's uncle is responsible for collecting the money. Do you think I am just messing around to open a restaurant or do some business? You can't make money. Although the restaurant makes money, the risks are also high. I am just an errand boy, I only earn my hard-earned money. He looked very embarrassed, aggrieved and abused. It makes people speechless.
Ru Yu was a little strange, it wasn¡¯t that the preface didn¡¯t match the postscript, but she felt that Wen Wan didn¡¯t say it like, ¡°But, weren¡¯t you in Zuixiang Tower at that time?¡±
Wen Wan was extremely strange: "I went to the palace yesterday after celebrating my father's birthday. I never left the palace again. Xia Yao. What's going on?"
Xia Yao hurriedly explained, "Princess, you went to the palace at that time. I was anxious for a while, fearing that if something went wrong in Zuixiang Tower, you would be reprimanded by the emperor. So I asked Xia Xiang to dress up as you and calm down the scene. Later I saw the county The master is too busy, so I will tell the princess after the matter is settled in two days."
Wen Wan has an angry look on her face. That look of anger. You can't just pretend. "Do you think that because you are the person left by the emperor's grandfather, you can be lawless? Today you can find someone to pretend to be me to suppress the scene. Tomorrow you can pretend to pass my order and commit murder and arson." "
Xia Yao immediately knelt down and said, "Princess, please calm down. I will never dare to do this again."
Wen Wan scolded, "For the sake of saving my life, I will spare you this time. Otherwise, even if you are the person left to me by the emperor's grandfather and are responsible for taking care of me, I can still deal with you." .¡±
Xia Yao retreated in fear.
Ruyu didn¡¯t even frown. Wen Wan mentioned that Xia Yao was given by the previous emperor. In other words, there's really nothing you can do to her. He was conveyed gently, obviously to protect him.
Wen Wan watched Xia Yao exit. Said a long sigh. He looked very helpless and aggrieved, "The slave is bullying the master!"
Bao Yun looked at it and twitched. The acting of the lead actor Jun was too fake. They are not fools, and they have no intention of the princess herself. Xia Yao was too brave to do such a thing. Of course, no one dares to tell. This is Wenwan saving face for them.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, don't mention it again. Sister, I've thought of some good business recently. My sister can make money so much. If you don't mind, can I buy a share in it?" Ru Yu asked with a smile. Anyway, her goal for today has been achieved. That changed the topic. Even if you are a princess, it will cost a lot of money to find out information and bribe people. It's also good to be able to make money with Wen Wan and add some income to yourself.
"You also know that I have always believed that if we have money, let's make money together, and let's have delicious and fun things together. Hello, I'm hello, everyone. But this time, I'm sorry. If I think of any good business next time, I can make the decision , I will never forget you." Wen Wan declined Ru Yu's proposal politely.
At this point, Ruyu naturally knew that he could not get involved in this business. But it's strange why his father asked Wen Wan to do business for him. No matter how short of money the national treasury is, no matter how much Wen Wan earns, it will only be a drop in the bucket.
"It's not what you think. It was the emperor's uncle who helped me redeem the hot spring village. I boasted to Haikou that I would earn him a hundred hot spring houses. This would be a fulfillment of my promise. Well, you "What did I do when I was so quick to talk, I was so exhausted. Look, I've lost a lot of weight." Wen Wan looked pitiful. Of course the responsibility must be taken over. Otherwise, people will think that the emperor is doing business, which will lead to criticism (knowing it in private is not the same thing as showing it to the public).
Ruyu couldn't help laughing when she saw Wen Wan pretending to be pitiful, "Take your time, don't rush this moment. Our wealth-gathering virgin is not just a boast.".
Wen Wan smiled and did not refute or answer. Changing the subject, "We'll have lunch here at noon. If you're fine, I'll take you to a good place. I plan to move there in the summer." Ru Yu looked at Wen Wan's appearance and recalled the scenes we had together before, Feeling dark in my heart, I hurriedly responded.
A large group of people immediately followed Ruyu. These are all rules, and Wen Wan knows it, so she doesn't say much. When Xia Xiang heard that she was going to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, she immediately led the people there herself.
After walking for a while, I walked to the corridor and saw the three characters Xiaoxiang Pavilion written on it. When you enter the door, you will see a pink ridge, shaded by thousands of green bamboo poles. A road was opened in the green bamboo forest, with a winding verandah, and the stones under the steps formed a road. After leaving the bamboo forest, I looked up and saw a small three-room house. Inside, the chairs, tables and beds were all collapsed. After leaving the house, we came to the backyard. There was a spring under the wall. It was cooler here than outside.
"I plan to live here in the summer. It's much cooler than the main house. Once I put the crocodile vines away, I won't be afraid of mosquitoes and flies. I should have a great time here in the summer." Wen Wan smiled as she walked. said.
Ruyu visited for a while and was impressed by the elegance of the decoration here. Wen Wan asked if he wanted to check out some other courtyards. Last time Ruyu watched one, but there were three more that he didn¡¯t watch.
Ruyu suddenly became interested and nodded. The two of them sat in a small sedan and walked for half a quarter of an hour before getting off the sedan.
When I got off the sedan, I saw three handwritten characters "Luotang Garden."
When I walked into the yard, I didn¡¯t see Begonia, nor did I see Basho, whom Wen Wan was talking about, because now was not the time. However, in the middle of the yard, there is a rockery made of lake rocks. The rockery is surrounded by a shallow pool. Golden scales swim in the pool. Two big white cranes stand proudly on the water. They are grabbing a fish and playing with it, then another, and then throwing it away. , playing there.
Wen Wan smiled and said to Ruyu: "Look, the fish here can even jump. This is not something that can be found anywhere."
Ruyu smiled gracefully. Xia Yu explained on the side, saying that if the season comes and the crabapples and bananas bloom here, it will be as beautiful as a fairyland.
The two took the fish food and slowly threw it in, watching the fish play. Wen Wan shook her head and felt depressed. He looked like a miser and said, "At first I wanted to replace all the gold scales with crucian carp and other edible fish, so that I could go fishing in my spare time. It would definitely be a different experience then. But they said that this gold Scales are a rare thing, and one is worth a lot of money. Don't think it's beautiful, it's a waste of money. Living in such a big garden costs thousands of taels more than the previous one. It's really annoying. be unable to support.".
Ruyu looked at her like this and burst into laughter: "You are still the same as before, you haven't changed at all." Of course, this is just the appearance of the change. Lizi, Wenwan has become strong and decisive. Uncle Guo offends Wen Wan and makes trouble for himself.
Xia Qiu came over and asked, "Princess, Princess, lunch is ready. Should we eat here or go to the main hall? Please tell me, Princess and Princess."
"It doesn't matter if I eat here, but if the news spreads, I will lose the dignity of the Crown Princess, so I will naturally go back to the main hall." Wen Wan scolded. Now is not the same as before, where can I be so casual? Girlhood is gone forever. (To be continued)
