Chapter 1185 Yun Chu Likes the Wu Brothers
It is not a simple matter for the princess to dry her wedding dress.
It is to announce to all the female relatives of the royal family to come and see, and in the process of watching, they have to add dowry to the princess. It can be said that this is a good opportunity for the princess to blackmail the royal family.
Li Si felt that it was a bit embarrassing to use this great opportunity to blackmail those poor royal family.
Mainly because Aunt Naha gave her 10,000 taels of gold sand as a deposit, plus when she was setting up mutual aid organizations in Hedong and Hebei, she embezzled 260,000 strings of money from her mother, and she also got a lot of gold during the battle in the southwest.
Therefore, she was very impatient to collect the pitiful dowry money from the royal family.
She wanted to go to Ziwei Palace to dry her wedding dress. To put it bluntly, it was for the queen and Princess Taiping to see. She wanted to tell her mother that she didn't love her, but she had people who loved her.
Therefore, when Yu Xiurong entered the palace to discuss Li Si's marriage with the queen, Wu Mei was very angry.
"I heard that you prepared a very nice wedding dress for Anding?"
Yu Xiurong said: "My husband has never achieved much in his life, but he has made some achievements in the economy. There is still some money in the family. When Princess Anding marries, we naturally have to use the best."
Wu Mei looked at Yu Xiurong's radiant face and said: "Now that the disaster has occurred, the wedding is so extravagant. Do you think it is appropriate, Yushi?"
Yu Xiurong said proudly: "When the Tang Dynasty is in trouble, the Yun family will naturally have no choice but to prepare money, food, and medicine. We are just waiting for the order from Your Majesty, and the whole Yun family will be able to immediately devote themselves to disaster relief."
Wu Mei said: "How much is the Yun family going to invest this time?"
Yu Xiurong quietly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea and said: "I will spend all my family wealth. My husband once said that money is a bastard. If I lose it, I will make it again. It's rude, but the truth is clear. However, it's not the first time for Yunshi to spend all the family wealth. My husband has the courage to spend all the money and get it back. As a wife, I will naturally do my best.
My husband and I have been frugal all our lives. Thrifty, apart from the desire for food, there is no place to spend money, the only thing is to worry about letting down the children under my knees.
They are lucky to be born in my husband and wife, and my husband and wife will not let them suffer any grievances. Whatever my husband and wife can give, we will definitely go all out.
Please allow my husband and wife to be unrestrained once for the sake of my husband and wife's deep love for their children. ”
Wu Mei said: "Good money is a bastard, I will make it again if I lose it. You and your wife think so, do your children think so too?"
Yu Xiurong smiled and said: "When my eldest son Yun Jin was six years old, he thought that it was my husband who did too many things, which made him look like an idiot. He also said that if the Yun family fell into decline, it would be his blessing."
After listening to Yu Xiurong's words, Wu Mei sighed and said: "You raised a good son."
Yu Xiurong smiled and said: "Two good sons and a good daughter."
Wu Mei was speechless. Looking at the noble ladies of the Tang Dynasty, Yu was the only woman who could talk to her at eye level.
The reason why Yu Shi could look at her on an equal footing was entirely because Yun Shi had no desires or demands!
Without expectations, there would be no expectations, and without expectations, there would be no delusions.
Wu Mei wanted to further improve her relationship with Yun Shi through this marriage, but Yun Shi obviously did not accept it. Not only did she not accept it, but Yun Shi did not even force her through the relationship with the prince.
She would come to her mother to discuss everything openly and honestly, and would never take a detour to give Wu Mei an opportunity.
Yun Shi did a good job, so the queen naturally could not do anything wrong.
Therefore, Li Si got a full 10,000 taels of gold from the Wu brothers, which led to the Wu brothers not wanting to pay attention to Yun Chu every time they saw him. You know, this was their brothers' harvest for three years.
After Yun Shi took the initiative to give up 70% of the income from the running water brand, she finally got the emperor's marriage decree - Princess Anding Li Si married the son of Lantian Hou Yun Jin, and it was finally settled.
The royal family received 70% of the profits from the Liushui brand. The first thing to do was to make up for 70% of the 2.5 million guan of foreign debt that Yunshi borrowed two years ago, and Yunshi was responsible for 30% of it.
This is a very large sum of money, which even the royal family cannot afford. After the emperor and Master Kuiji, the creditor, discussed, the profits generated by the Liushui brand will be used to repay the loan first.
This not only completely freed the Yunshi from the heavy debt burden like a mountain, but also actually got 30% of the profits from the Liushui brand.
Although the profits are 70% and 30%, Yunshi's decision-making power on the Liushui brand is higher than that of the royal family.
The only bad thing is that the emperor's decree clearly stated that the holder of 30% of the Liushui brand shares can only be Yun Jin's lineage.
Faced with the request made by the emperor and the queen, Yun Chu and his wife chose to agree. They knew that this might be the bottom line that the royal family could accept.
At the same time, Wenrou was promoted to the position of Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Di Renjie was appointed as the Minister of the Dali Temple in Luoyang, the position of the county magistrate of Chang'an County was temporarily vacant, and the position of the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple in Chang'an was also temporarily vacant.
Whether it is the county magistrate of Chang'an County or the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple in Chang'an, they are both real positions of power in Chang'an. These two positions are very important to Chang'an and can have a certain impact on the existing rules and regulations in Chang'an.
Yun Chu suggested that Wu Chengsi be the magistrate of Chang'an County and Wu Sansi be the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple in Chang'an. Unexpectedly, not only the emperor and the queen disagreed, but even the Wu brothers refused.
Wu Sansi withdrew his hand from the maid's arms, put his fingers in front of his nose and sniffed lightly, and said to Wu Chengsi, who was also holding the maid, "God damn it, he went to Chang'an to serve."
Wu Chengsi nodded and said: "As long as we leave Chang'an, our brothers will be two Kunpengs of the Tang Dynasty. After being Kunpeng for a long time, it really doesn't feel like going to Chang'an to be two canaries raised in captivity."
Wu Sansi laughed and said: "Except for our brothers, everyone in the court wants to go to Chang'an to become an official. Brother, tell me why Yun Chu, the watchdog, allowed others to enter Chang'an this time?"
Wu Chengsi said: "The Yun family's children have grown up. Although the world is big, there is not much room for the Yun family's children. It doesn't matter that Yun Chu is a fierce tiger. Your Majesty, the queen has many checks and balances. Now that Yun's tiger cubs have grown up, they also need enough territory to conquer the mountains and forests.
While His Majesty is here, the Yun family can't do anything. Only after the prince ascends the throne, the Yun family's tigers may no longer be able to bite people, and it's time for the little tigers to take the stage.
After retreating and advancing, your majesty and the queen feel relieved, and the prince dares to use Yun's son boldly. "
Wu San thought: "Brother is very wary of Yun Jin, the son of the Yun family."
Wu Chengsi closed his eyes and said: "300,000 barbarians died in the southwest, 200,000 of them were killed by Yun Jin's men. Yun's Ruhuhu just came out of the mountain, and 200,000 lives were sacrificed for it. Think twice, Don't mess with him.
The Yun family is a den of tigers and wolves. If you mess with one, a large group of tigers will come out and gnaw you until no hair is left. "
Wu Sansi glanced at the squirrels running up and down on the pine trees outside the house to stock up on food, nodded and said, "Stay away from the Yun family. Is there anything we brothers can't climb?"
While the two brothers were hugging the beauty Hu Tian Hu Di, the housekeeper came to report that Hou Yunchu of Lantian was visiting.
Wu Chengsi tidied up his clothes and thought to Wu San: "The last time I came here was to build a bridge and took away many of our craftsmen. The last time I came here took away our brothers' three years of savings. This time, do you think he saw it again? What happened to our brother?"
Wu Sansi rolled his sleeves and said: "With the money gone, people will be happy. Now, only our brothers are left. There is nothing for him to worry about."
Wu Chengsi said: "I'm just afraid that he will miss our brother. I'll be smarter later. No matter how eloquent he is this time, don't be fooled by him and go to Chang'an.
Today's Chang'an is a big fire pit. No matter who goes in, he will come out in a different color. "
"Ah, two martial brothers——" Yun Chu was dressed in a brocade robe, his white teeth shining brightly in the sun.
"Ah, Brother Yun—" Wu Chengsi twisted his fat waist, affectionately took Yun Chu's outstretched hand, and warmly invited him into the house for tea.
"I'm not talking about two people. This time, my brother Wen Geng and Di Renjie have left, leaving two good seats. Brother, I thought of you two first. I have already recommended you two talented people to His Majesty. , how about it, we are friends enough.”
Wu Chengsi laughed and said: "Thanks to the Lord for thinking highly of our brothers, but when I think about the fate of the last time I temporarily issued the Ten Thousand Years Order in Chang'an, my hands are trembling and I can't sleep. As a result, now I only need to hear The word Chang'an makes my heart beat so fast that I still dare not go closer than thirty miles to Chang'an."
Yun Chu held Wu Chengsi's hand and said enthusiastically: "Today is different from the past. In the past, the Liushui brand was like a thunder that would explode without knowing when. But it is different now. The property rights of the Liushui brand have been made clear. , even if something happens again, it has nothing to do with you brothers.
Over the years, Wen Wen has managed Chang'an County as a well-connected political person and has a well-stocked treasury. As long as Brother Wu takes office, it will be a good place to achieve political achievements. Although Brother Wu has become famous in recent years, he has actually accomplished several major things. However, if you really want to be promoted to an official position, political achievements are absolutely indispensable. "
Wu Sansi poured tea for Yun Chu and sighed: "The water in Chang'an is deep, and my brothers are not good at swimming. God knows when there will be a big wave, and these two bodies that have finally been fattened will be just like feeding the fish."
Yun Chu looked around, and Wu Chengsi immediately waved his sleeves to repel his followers.
Yun Chu took a sip of tea and said, "Brother, I have clearly contributed to the pacification of the Southwest. Why did a good county guild become a marquis?"
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the monarchs beat up the ministers wildly."
Yun Chu looked at Wu Chengsi with a half-smile but said, "Do you believe it?"
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. After all, His Majesty said so, and the Lord also recognized it."
Yun Chu laughed loudly, pointed at the Wu brothers and said, "Just pretend, I don't believe the Queen will tell you the reason?"
The smile on Wu Chengsi's face gradually disappeared, and he said indifferently: "The Queen told our brothers many things, but I don't know which one the Lord is talking about?"
Yun Chu said: "The highest real title is Marquis. Non-royal people with titles above the title of Marquis will not have land or households. I will give away the reward with a little money. According to the convention, I should have been granted the title of Duke. As a result, after careful calculation, I still decided I think it might be more beneficial to be a Lantianhou.
As for the benefits for the Duke, well, maybe he can get a good seat when His Majesty holds a state banquet. "
When Wu Sansi heard what Yun Chu said, she looked at Wu Chengsi and said, "I really don't know."
During the two sessions... the updates are not strong enough.
