Chapter 11 Crown of the Southern Song Family
Song Jinbao was the legitimate son of a wealthy family who was later granted special permission by Emperor Jingdi to join the family.
He originally lived in Guannan County and was one of the richest people in the area.
How rich is his family?
Even the servants in the house were dressed in silk and satin, no worse than the young men and women of moderately wealthy families.
To say that the family of the Southern Song Dynasty was rich enough to rival a country is not an adjective, but a declarative sentence.
Our ancestors said that wealth cannot last for more than three generations, and this has been proven over time, generation after generation.
Song Jinbao's father, Song Fugui, as the newly appointed fourth-generation head of the Song family, completely broke this rule.
The fourth generation not only did not let the Song family go downhill, but instead raised it to a higher level. He sent the fifth generation to study in the palace, and moved the whole family to the capital, becoming imperial merchants.
It made many local noble families and civil and military officials envious.
What is the Song family's business secret?
Really not!
Just lucky!
Every generation of family heads seemed to be favored by God. They made money in whatever business they did, and the more they squandered, the more wealth they accumulated.
Song Jinbao is Song Fugui's late-born son. He was 35 years old when he had Song Jinbao.
In order to have a son, he took in one concubine after another, but they all gave birth to daughters.
It's so hard to have a baby like Song Jinbao, so shouldn't I spoil him to my heart's content?
After Song Jinbao, Song Fugui did have several more sons, but they were all illegitimate sons, and their status naturally could not be compared with Song Jinbao.
Whether it was a daughter or a bastard's son, the Song family did not treat them harshly.
Guannan County, where the Song family is located, is the southernmost county in the Great Chu State and has been plagued by constant conflicts for many years.
However, since the city was guarded by General Ke Zhenxiong of Zhennan, there was no real fighting, only minor frictions.
Two years ago, the neighboring country Dasheng suddenly invaded with an army of 30, which brought considerable pressure to the Zhennan Army.
Fearing that other neighboring small countries would take the opportunity to cause chaos, Emperor Jing continued to send reinforcements to various border lines.
As memorials were approved one after another, money from the national treasury flowed out like water.
For a time, military funds, food, weapons and equipment were all in short supply.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty Alexander.
When Emperor Jingdi was in great distress, a secret letter came from the General Zhenbei, saying that the Guannan Song family was willing to donate 10 million taels of gold to the national treasury to cover the Zhennan army's food and fodder for three years.
And don't! Ask! For! Repay!
It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide timely assistance.
This greatly relieved the pressure on Emperor Jing.
Not to mention Emperor Jing, even the General Zhennan and his Zhennan Army were grateful for the Song family's righteous act.
With the support of the Song family and sufficient armaments, the morale of the Zhennan Army was greatly boosted.
This lasted for half a year. Not only did the Da Sheng Kingdom not gain any benefits, it also almost lost its border cities. It withdrew its army in disgrace and asked for peace, promising not to invade again within ten years.
After the war, rewards will be given according to merit.
Although the Song family said they did not ask for anything in return at the beginning, the emperor could not really not reward them at all. How could he not do something that would gain their loyalty by giving them some sweet treats?
Emperor Jing could still distinguish between a one-time deal and long-term returns!
Emperor Jing was in a dilemma about what to reward.
The Song family has everything they need, so give them an official position.
The Song family can rely on luck in doing business, but managing the people requires real talent and knowledge. The Song family has never found such a talent.
In the end, he was awarded a title that was only a title, and the eldest son of the Song family was allowed to enter the palace and study with the princes and princesses.
This made the Song family very happy!
With status, the legitimate son can become classmates with the princes and even the future emperor.
For a time, the Song family was at the peak of its popularity.
The whole family moved to the capital. Only a few elders in the clan chose to stay in Guannan County because they were too old to withstand the bumpy road.
This time, Song Jinbao and his father Song Fugui came back to handle some business in Guannan County. Song Fugui intended to train Song Jinbao to take over.
I have been in Guannan County for more than ten days, and most of the things have been dealt with.
The return schedule had not yet been decided. On this day, Song Jinbao received a letter from his good brother Xie Youzhi.
The letter said that the Seventh Prince had found an extremely beautiful sister, and he also recognized this sister. His good brother had not forgotten him, and he helped him recognize this sister before he left.
Oh my God! No!
You don’t have a sister at home, so if you want to recognize someone, just find one yourself!
I already have seven sisters in my family!
I don't want it!
Can I still return the product?
No! I have to go back! I absolutely cannot have another sister!
Regardless of his father's desire to stay in Guannan County for two more days, he urged his father to set off.
He returned to the capital without stopping, and asked Xie Youzhi to take him to the palace to return the goods.
This is all a story for later, so let’s not talk about it for now.
First of all, after Xia Youan sent Chu Moyuan away, he wandered around the palace alone, bored.
Last night, Aunt Liu had already told Xia Youan where he could not go.
Xia Youan obediently hid in those palaces and only wandered to where the palace maids, eunuchs and guards were.
Although he is now a member of Chonghua Palace, he is still an illegal resident and cannot withstand close scrutiny.
What if I accidentally offend some important person who is difficult to talk to?
It's not that Xia Youan looks down on herself, but because she was born in New China, lived under the red flag, and had never experienced the dangers of the world, she was a rich and beautiful woman. In this palace where people were eaten without leaving any bones, she might not survive more than three episodes.
For the sake of his own life, Xia Youan did not dare to take risks.
After not walking for long, Xia Youan lost interest.
The garden scenery is similar to that of modern times.
It’s just that the gardens of ancient imperial palaces were larger than anything modern, with large areas and lush vegetation, but they are all similar.
The people he met either walked quietly with their heads down, or walked in a hurry, or looked straight ahead. No one paid any attention to Xia Youan.
It’s difficult to find someone to chat with and relieve boredom!
Xia Youan simply decided to find a shady place to take a nap. He didn't get enough sleep in the morning and was completely woken up by the noise.
Ahead they came to a place called Liuying Waterside Pavilion, which was not on the list of places that Nanny Liu had told them not to visit.
Just by listening to the name, it sounds like a poetic and picturesque place. "This is it!"
Only after entering did I find that there were already people here.
