Qiao Anyi returned to Qiao's house from King Jin's mansion, entered the door with his front foot, and heard the news of Princess Jin being summoned in the palace with his back foot.

He entered the door with a solemn expression, Zhao Yunniang hurriedly greeted him, looking at her husband's expression, her heart sank, and she hurriedly asked, "What is the matter with the princess?" ”

Qiao Anyi looked at his wife's face full of worry, and did not open his mouth to elaborate on the reason, but said: "The princess talked to me about business, and I was thinking about it." ”

Hearing that it was a business discussion, Zhao Yunniang breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and then said with some worry: "Does the princess still have the heart to do other business now?" Not to mention the Fu family's other businesses, it's just that the brocade workshop is busy. ”

Qiao Anyi sat down, listened to his wife's tentative words and said: "The Fu family has hundreds of housekeepers, and the brocade workshop has been completely on track, so naturally there is no need for the princess to worry about it." ”

Zhao Yunniang smiled, "That's what the husband said. After a pause, he spoke again, "I don't know what business the princess talked about with her husband?" ”

Qiao Anyi looked at his wife, "I remember that my father-in-law said that the ancestors of the Zhao family used to be a smelting workshop, didn't they?" ”

Zhao Yunniang was stunned for a moment and shook her head, "I don't know too well." ”

Qiao Anyi nodded when he saw it, "Then I'll write to ask." ”

Qiao Anyi raised her feet and walked to the study, Zhao Yunniang's mouth moved, but she hadn't said anything yet.

After her husband left, she sat in the room for a while, she had been married for so long, and the husband and wife respected each other like guests, and it stands to reason that her husband was good to her, and she should be content, how many men like her husband do not have a few concubines in the room.

Merchants are different from eunuchs, officials have to take care of their reputation, and concubines naturally don't do what they want.

There is no limit to the merchants, as long as they have money to afford it, they really have no scruples.

Not to mention others, there has never been anyone around her father and brother in her family, but after getting married, she learned that not all men are so fond of hugging left and right.

As she got married for a long time, she found out that many of the Qiao family's businesses were related to the Fu family, and even the affairs of the business alliance were taken care of by her husband, but the reputation fell on Princess Jin, which made her feel very uneasy and worried.

Whether it is a mother-in-law or a sister-in-law in this family, Princess Jin is very close and trusting, which makes her feel like an outsider.

Now Princess Jin is talking to her husband about business again......

Zhao Yunniang was even more uneasy, remembering that her husband asked about her mother's family, she thought about it again and again, but she gritted her teeth and wrote a letter to her mother's family.

***

At this time, the emperor who was sitting in the imperial study was taken aback when he heard Fu Yuanling recommend the Qiao family.

"Can the Qiao family do this well?" The emperor hesitated to speak, and Qiao Anyi still had some impressions.

"Father, my daughter-in-law wants to share your worries, but the things in the smelting workshop are too complicated and cumbersome, and the skills are too demanding, and I am pregnant now that I can't take care of it.

Fu Yuanling thought about it and slowly spoke, the emperor was suspicious, how she spoke was thought in advance, looking at the emperor's expression was not different, and then said: "If the Qiao family can't, the father can also designate other merchants, no matter which one you designate, the daughter-in-law will do her best to help." ”

If the five major merchants in Shangjing come up with their family funds, it is not impossible to get them, but the Yan family does not know much about the smelting workshop, so they will naturally not take it over rashly. The Yi family's focus is on the brocade workshop, and they don't have the spare money to get a smelting workshop.

The rest of the Nie family, the Wu family and the Jiang family, the Jiang family is weaker, and the family can't support it, the Nie family and the Wu family have this family background to do, but there is another big thing, that is, the Bureau of Making.

The establishment of the brocade workshop has not moved on the side of the Bureau, because although this piece is very profitable so far, it is not a very serious matter for the Bureau.

But the smelter is different.

The Nie family and the Wu family didn't have the confidence to make a game against the top and the king of Rong, so even if the smelting workshop was making money every day, they didn't dare to take the lead.

The emperor looked at Fu Yuanling and asked directly: "Even if the Qiao family comes forward in this matter, then what are your plans?" ”

He didn't believe that his daughter-in-law would not be mixed at all.

Fu Yuanling said with a smile: "The daughter-in-law will also get a share, after all, the prince is not in Beijing, how can I directly deal with Uncle Wang." ”

Emperor:......

"Joan Yi knows your plans?" The emperor has to ask clearly, don't let them start their own infighting, and what kind of fight will they have with King Rong.

"I'll make it clear to him that it shouldn't be a big problem. The two have cooperated for many years, and some small things are not hindered. Fu Yuanling smiled, "In business, there is enough income, even if it takes some effort and effort, it is worth it." ”

The emperor felt that something was strange, but he couldn't guess it for a while, so he thought for a while and said: "The smelting workshop is related to the foundation of the great cadres, and this time it cannot be arranged like a brocade workshop." ”

Fu Yuanling saw that the emperor didn't speak, and continued to listen.

"The brocade workshop is only managed by the imperial court, but the smelting workshop has to be managed by the imperial court, and you pay the silver." The emperor coughed lightly, although it was a little unkind, but he couldn't leave such a big trouble for future generations like Gaozu was making a trick.

Fu Yuanling was not surprised that the emperor would say this, and said directly and happily: "I listen to my father, but although I have no opinion, the imperial court always does not want merchants to interfere in anything, and I am not good at explaining to others." ”

After all, this silver is not a minority, and it is several times more than that of the brocade workshop.

Fu Yuanling also has his own selfishness, they worked hard to set up the smelting workshop, but as a result, they couldn't interfere with anything, just waiting to get the silver.

But how much money did the smelting workshop make, and how did they know that the account books were not falsified?

Not everyone in the DPRK and China is honest and easy to talk to, and if they really become shopkeepers, I am afraid that in a few years, these merchants will have to be knocked out.

I can't do this when I am busy with a party and make wedding clothes for others.

The emperor looked at Fu Yuanling and knew that she had to negotiate conditions.

As a daughter-in-law, she is very bold, if others listen to him say this, how dare she say nothing.

Fortunately, he was prepared and left himself room for counteroffer.

"You say." The emperor had a straight face, and his aura was absolutely up.

He is the lord of the world.

Fu Yuanling's heart was tense, without Xiao Jiuqi being there, it was really tiring to talk about business with the emperor, and every word he said had to be carefully considered.

"The state has national laws, and business has business rules, so it is not easy to build this smelting workshop, and it is a big deal to recruit craftsmen and run the workshop after it is completed. The daughter-in-law had an immature idea, and asked her father to take a closer look. ”

Talking about business, Fu Yuanling knew that he couldn't be anxious, so he was impatient.
