Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 35

"My beloved, I heard that An An sent you a very strange table, called something-something-sauce." Chu Yanming thought for a long time and actually forgot the name.

"Is the emperor talking about the mahjong table?" Empress Xian didn't expect that the emperor was actually coming for the mahjong table.

Empress Xian was shocked. Could it be that the emperor wanted his mahjong table?

She was unwilling to give up this.

After all, this was a gift from her future daughter-in-law.

And there is only one.

Empress Xian thought to herself, who knows which tiger girl would actually whisper in the emperor's ear.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's called a mahjong table. Oh, look at my memory. My beloved concubine, please take me to see what the mahjong table looks like." Chu Yuanming didn't actually want Concubine Xian to take it out. It was just that Concubine Shu was clamoring for it. So he thought of asking the craftsman to make a replica for Concubine Shu.

He brought all the craftsmen with him, and they were still waiting outside the temple.

"Your Majesty, please follow me!" Empress Xian had just had the mahjong table moved to the side hall.

"Your Majesty, this is the mahjong table that Miss Qiao gave to me." Concubine Xian said, pointing to the square table in the side hall.

"There's nothing strange about this." Chu Yuanming looked at the square table, which only had a few more stools placed next to it. He didn't see anything strange about it. But for some reason, Concubine Shu felt like it was a rare treasure?

"Your Majesty, there is nothing special about this table. It is just equipped with these mahjong pieces. We can find a few people to play mahjong together." Empress Xian ordered someone to put the mahjong pieces on the table while speaking to Chu Yuanming.

Chu Yuanming was also amazed when he looked at the mahjong pieces.

It seems that the girl from the Qiao family is really smart.

"It looks quite interesting." Chu Yuanming nodded.

"Your Majesty, why don't we have some fun too?" Seeing the emperor's high spirits, Empress Xian asked quickly.

Chu Yuanming wanted to give it a try, but when he thought of the thick memorials in the imperial study that he had not yet reviewed, he gave up.

"I still have to go back to the imperial study to review memorials. My beloved, could you please let the craftsmen outside see how this table is made?" Chu Yuanming asked?

He hadn't come here to ask for Empress Xian's things. He just needed a reference to make something like this.

"Of course you can." Empress Xian gritted her teeth, wondering which bitch could make the emperor come in person.

"Go outside and call the craftsman." Chu Yuanming instructed the eunuch beside him.

"Your Majesty, I wonder which sister of mine could receive such great favor from Your Majesty? Which sister of mine could make Your Majesty specially make a mahjong table for her?" Empress Xian asked obediently.

After all, the only two people who had seen this mahjong table today were Concubine De and Concubine Shu.

But I'm afraid the only one who can ask the emperor for help is Concubine Shu.

"It's Concubine Shu." Chu Yuanming had no intention of hiding it from Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian would definitely know about this sooner or later.

"It turns out to be Concubine Shu's sister!" Concubine Xian thought to herself, it was indeed this bitch.

However, the emperor did not ask her to give this thing to Concubine Shu, which made her feel better.

Even if Concubine Shu had a second mahjong table, it was modeled after the one here.

"I heard that the emperor asked Miss Qiao to lead those people from the Ministry of Revenue to study business methods? Your Majesty, people outside say that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. I wonder if this is inappropriate." Empress Xian asked tentatively.

"My beloved concubine, there is no need to worry. The girl from the Qiao family is a person of great talent, and I think she will bring me unexpected gains." Although Chu Yuanming knew that Concubine Xian might have some opinions about this, he did not think there was anything wrong with it.

As long as Qiao Anan can find a way to fill his treasury.

The outside doubts are not a problem.

Qiao family

"Miss, you didn't see the look in Concubine De's and Concubine Shu's eyes today. They were stunned by the gift you prepared for Concubine Xian." Xia He returned home and smiled as she reported to Qiao An'an about the situation in the palace today.

"You! Don't say this outside. There are so many good things in the palace. Who would be interested in these little gadgets I sent you?" Although Qiao Anan said this, she was 100% sure about the things she sent into the palace.

But it seems that the situation is similar to what I expected. My future mother-in-law is still quite easy to deal with.

Recently, Qiao Anan has been leading the people from the Ministry of Revenue to teach them how to do business, and she is quite tired.

After all, there are always some old stubborn people who stand up to question her words, thinking that what she said as a woman is wrong and opposing her teaching methods.

There were only one or two people in the Ministry of Revenue who were truly eager to learn.

"It was my fault for speaking out of turn." Xia He also knew that if she used inappropriate words, it might bring trouble to her young lady, so she quickly knelt down and said.

"Okay, get up. You can't kneel here. Just say this in your own yard. Once you leave the house, keep everything to yourself. There are many people outside watching our Qiao family. Be careful with your words. Sometimes, even I, your lady, may not be able to save you." Qiao Anan said to several maids.

"Yes!" Several maids answered in unison.

"Miss, the wedding supplies in our shops are selling very well now. It seems that the supply cannot meet the demand." Chuntao hurriedly talked about the situation in the shop outside.

"Tell the workshop to speed up production and remember to ensure quality and quantity. Now, due to the emperor's decree on the age of marriage, I think the number of people getting married in the next one or two months will increase. If it really doesn't work, send the wedding supplies left for me to the shop." Qiao Anan said after thinking for a while.

"Miss, how can that be? Those are your dowry." Qiuju said with some disapproval.

"It doesn't matter whether it's a dowry or not. Besides, there are other things." Qiao Anan thought to herself that the things she gave to His Royal Highness the Second Prince were much more valuable than those things.

Now she has earned enough face for herself. Even without those festive dowries, the Second Prince will not treat her badly.

After all, as far as she knew, most of the money he gave to the Second Prince was used as military pay.

Considering that there are three kingdoms now, Chu Yuan is the weakest among them.

If you don't cultivate your military strength while cultivating your character.

It is still unknown whether the Chu Yuan State will be annexed by the other two countries.

Thinking of this, Qiao Anan wanted to go to the armory in the military camp to take a look.

She still didn't know enough about the current situation of their Chu Yuan Kingdom's military camp.

Although the Qiao family has money.

But fighting a war doesn't require money.

Elite troops, sharp weapons, and sufficient food and grass are all indispensable.

Today, the Chu Yuan people are weak in population and strength, which is already a major disadvantage. If their weapons are also inferior to others, there will be no chance of winning.

Thinking of this, Qiao An suddenly remembered that he had discovered iron ore in a mountain he had bought.
