The Shen family did not agree to the proposed salute in the garden, and they could only negotiate with each other again. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Because the name of the princess has been decided, Taichung issued an edict to take Pingyuan Huaheng as the too often, and deal with the princess's wedding with Dazai and Sima Yi, the king of Zongzheng Xiyang. At the same time, the official was elected to serve as the family minister and family order of Princess Danyang, and assisted in this matter.
Although the princess's subordinates have the attributes of retainers, they are also subordinate officials of the Shaofu, especially the princess is a super-sized big seal, close to Gyeonggi, and the position of the princess is almost equivalent to the Jiankang Order, so the position of the bureaucrats is also quite hot. Taking advantage of the fact that the relationship with Yu Liang was still harmonious, Shen Zhezi simply moved and won Ren Qiu a position in the princess's mansion.
Although Ren Qiu's reputation in Wuzhong is not low, after all, he was born in a poor family, and he can naturally maintain a detached posture if he repeatedly does not want to enter the office, but once he wants to enter the office, it is impossible to find any clear position. To be the head of Cao Peng's officials, buried in the first case in the morning and dusk, few small mistakes will be blamed, but it is not as good as hiding and detached. If he is allowed to work in the Huiji County Government of his father Shen Chong, he will not be able to give full play to the advantages of this person's connections in Danyang.
And the princess's family order is simply a position tailored for Ren Qiu. In this position, it is indispensable to deal with the princes and nobles, and at the same time, they also have to take care of many trivial affairs in the princess's fiefdom.
But Qian Feng was a figure who followed the general Wang Dun earlier, and even now Wen Qiao and such important ministers and celebrities do not dare to underestimate him, and it is inevitable that he will be of great use in this position, and his identity is really not visible.
Ren Qiu is from Danyang, where he has many relatives and friends, has a wide range of contacts, and he also has communication skills, and he is not a completely retreating hand-held celebrity, which is simply a simplified version of Qian Feng. He served as the family commander of the princess's mansion, which can be said to make the best use of his talents.
Ren Qiu was also quite satisfied with this arrangement, although the position of the family order belonged to the lowly stream, and the Qingliu clan disdained it, but its importance could not be denied. Princess Danyang is over-specified, and her spouse is the gateway to Wuzhong, which has become a climate like the Shen family, and it is conceivable that no one will dare to underestimate the people who will stay in this position in the next few decades. Although there are many things, there is also a lot of money, and it is close to home, so it is convenient to take care of the family business.
Ren Qiu naturally can't be willing to be a subordinate of the family for a lifetime, with such a starting point, he can do it for a few years in the family order position, and after some achievements, he can naturally seek to return to the dynasty to serve as the official of Zhu Cao Lang, and wait for a suitable time to seek a border county, and he will already be ranked among the high-ranking officials of Qianshi. For a poor family like him, such a career is already the most ideal fast lane, which can pave a higher starting point for the next generation.
This is the huge gap brought about by the family, like the Shen family's current family background and position, coupled with the identity of the emperor's son-in-law, if Shen Zhezi wants to serve as a border county, he can do it within two years of joining the office, and he can make Guangxiang or the like or vacate Qiaozhou, and let him choose, this is the flat stream enterprising. And from a humble background like Ren Qiu, it takes most of his life to work hard, and he has a lot of luck to get the support of nobles in order to get lucky.
Although Shen Zhezi felt guilty because of the emperor's dying wishes, it did not prevent him from mixing sand into the princess's fiefdom. Seeking a position for Ren Qiu was only the first step, and then he selected several excellent ones among the children of the youth camp who accompanied him to Beijing, such as Ma Mingma Xingzhi, and stuffed them to Ren Qiu.
These teenagers are not low in talent and understanding, and if they are only trapped at home as a scribe to cultivate, it will inevitably be a bit wasteful. Although the princess's mansion is not as magnificent as the outer court, its knowledge is broader than that of the Shen family, and it is enough to train people.
At a time when there is no place of his own for people to experience, Shen Zhezi regards the princess's mansion as a training center for reserves, why should the husband and wife divide each other, although the princess has not yet started.
In addition to these things, it is to create all kinds of ritual utensils. The chapter scroll sent by Yu Liang helped Shen Zhezi a lot, and nowadays getting married to various ceremonial utensils is not the more luxurious the more magnificent, if you really want to take out tens of millions of dollars and hundreds of gold as a dowry, you are arrogant, and the whole Jiankang City will know that the Shen family is stupid the next day.
In addition to luxury, there are also requirements for etiquette. For example, the honor guard, the number of people, the color and quantity of the horses, the shape and specifications of the chariot, and the form of the ceremonial sword should not only show the grandeur, but also not exceed the rules of etiquette.
There are also lacquerware, jade, shirts and skirts in the dowry, jade in the dowry, feather preachers, and house furniture. Although some of them were given by the royal family as a dowry for the princess, the Shen family also had to build and prepare a part.
The price of Jiankang is much higher than that of Wuxing, and the materials and skills used to create these utensils have extremely strict requirements, and even some of them can only be made by specialized people. Although Shen Zhezi didn't have to do these trivial things himself, he had to pay for the money. The millions of money brought by Wu Xing's family were sprinkled out, and at this time, the money was simply not called money.
All kinds of jewelry for the princess alone, although the materials can be provided by the Shen family themselves, but to hire a professional craftsman, the salary can be as little as a thousand or as much as more than 10,000. In this aspect alone, nearly two million dollars were spent on the joint workers and materials!
Of course, if it is an ordinary marriage to a princess, there is naturally no need for such a high cost. But Shen Zhezi has already decided to be perfect, so he will no longer control this aspect, but he has just made up his mind that these expenses will be squeezed back in the future. As long as the money is still in Jiangdong, it can't flow anywhere else!
What satisfies Shen Zhezi is that the marriage of the princess in the garden is not a dime, and the Shaofu has been purchasing a lot more recently, and the cost is only a lot more than that of the Shen family.
In particular, a big mansion in Wuyi Lane was given to Princess Danyang's mansion, Shen Zhezi made a special trip to see his new home in Jiankang City in the future, although it is not as grand as the Langya Wang family, but it is larger than the old mansion of the Shen family in Jiankang City, it is the old mansion of a Sun clan king in Eastern Wu, as long as it is slightly repaired, it is a mansion.
Nowadays, prices are rising again, and even housing prices are soaring. In places like Xiaochanggan and Dongxiwaiguo, which are not yet prosperous, the price of an ordinary two-entry house in the past, which used to be only tens of thousands of dollars and dozens of silks, has now more than doubled. And prosperous places such as Suzaku Huannan Changganli have soared several times.
As for a place like Wuyi Lane, where high-end doors gather, even small doors and small households can open up for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and a scale as large as the Princess Mansion, it can't be bought with money! The only thing that made Shen Zhezi a little unhappy was that the property rights of this mansion were not in his own home, but were kept in Shaofu, and once he and the princess died, they would have to be taken back for other purposes.
Let Ren Qiu serve as the family commander of the princess's mansion, and the advantage is that he can know the property of the princess's mansion well. In addition to the mansion in Wuyi Lane, the garden is also very generous in the purchase of the princess's dowry, and the two garden villas in Qinhuai River and several royal estates in Changganli have all been classified under the name of the princess's mansion. There are also many good farms in Langya County, which are also rewarded without hesitation.
The emperor was so extravagant, it simply moved Shen Zhezi very much. The Eastern Jin Dynasty has not been in power for a long time, and the situation has just calmed down, and there are not too many treasury funds in the inner government, among which there are even fewer high-quality industries, and these given to the princess have accounted for a large proportion.
The vast estate was matched by a large number of servant attachés, and the rewards on the roster were not many, but the number of male and female servants sent privately was in the hundreds. Shen Zhezi suspected that as soon as the princess married, the crown prince might have to drink porridge with his family after he ascended the throne.
People often say that wealth rivals a country, but how can a family's financial resources compete with a country. Even if the imperial power is weak now, the makeup prepared for the princess in the garden moved Shen Zhezi, a rich son who is used to flowers. Although he got married this time, although it was not as exaggerated as saving half a lifetime of struggle, this dowry would definitely make anyone indifferent nowadays.
Originally, with the Shen family's background, Shen Zhezi had enough confidence and psychological advantages to face the princess, but seeing more and more industries under the name of the princess's mansion, his confidence became more and more insufficient. People marry with money and don't need to rely on the Shen family to support them. Especially in addition to this makeup, there are still huge fiefdoms in Danyang County.
However, for a person like Shen Zhezi whose face can be put in his pocket at any time, the loss is only a moment, since he can't overwhelm the princess in terms of financial resources, then he quickly changes his mentality, and he is not ashamed to rely on his wife, especially his wife's status is high and his financial resources are strong. It must be known that even if it is a son-in-law who inserts the door upside down, it is not something that anyone can do if they want to.
But after being coaxed by the emperor like this, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but feel a little shabby when he looked at the dowry he was going to send to the palace. Originally, he had some scruples about discussing his family's financial resources and being fortunate to be in the emperor's family, so he followed the etiquette system everywhere and did not dare to go beyond it. But since the emperor ignored all of this, he had nothing to spare.
So in addition to the customization of ceremonies and clothes, Shen Zhezi also waved his pen, such as Jiaxing's Yantian, Wuxing's private ferry, dai, stack and other industries, all under the name of the princess's mansion. These dowry gifts do not follow the official etiquette book, and naturally they are not all known to outsiders. With such an addition, the dowry of the princess was instantly overwhelmed on the books.
Shen Zhezi did this, in fact, it was a little inappropriate. Now that his father is still alive, he openly swallowed up the family property to fill his small treasury, fortunately, his father doesn't care about these family affairs at all, and the little brother Shen Jin, who can compete with him for the family property, has not been weaned, and it is unknown whether there will be other brothers to share in the future. Moreover, these industrial accounts have long been in Shen Zhezi's own hands, and this will not cause any human tragedy of brothers.
The reason why he did this is that the face factor is not big, he is a shameless person, and he will not make unnecessary comparisons. The main intention, the first is to make the emperor feel at ease, and his own family has also made a bloody investment, so that the emperor does not have to worry about his own harsh treatment of the princess in the future. On the other hand, the reason is a little difficult to say, Shen Zhezi is to avoid taxes.
He knew that after Yu Liang took power, he vigorously promoted the government of inspection. Like the Shen family is now engaged in Wuxing, with Yu Tan's protection, the problem is not very big at the moment, but in the future, there will be a Wuxing county guard who does not deal with the Shen family, and such a scale will inevitably be harshly criticized. If you break it off casually, you have to let Shen Zhezi hurriedly adjust the arrangement for a long time.
It was also the Zhang family who collected evidence of the Shen family's crimes and reminded Shen Zhezi that placing these properties in the princess's mansion could add an extra layer of protection and reduce many unnecessary disputes and troubles.
Thinking about it this way, Shen Zhezi felt that this wife was too worthwhile to marry, not only bringing political benefits to his family, but also a large dowry, and actually helping him launder money. Princess Xingnan is really a woman worth protecting for the rest of her life!
