Chapter 235 Emperor Yongxing intends to grant marriage

Before Zhang Hulan could even finish her words, she continued, "Your Majesty, if the entire country were to start growing lotus roots, we certainly wouldn't be able to make vermicelli from them all.

At that time, the imperial court can open more wine-making workshops in various places to make wine. I am willing to donate the wine-making recipe to the imperial court.

After the wine is brewed, we should not only sell it in our Yongning country, but also organize caravans to sell it to other countries.

We can use our wine to exchange for their cattle, horses, livestock, and mineral resources."

Emperor Yongxing was touched when he heard Zhang Hulan's words. He didn't expect a woman to think so much.

It is said that women have long hair but short knowledge, but the woman in front of me has more knowledge than many men and a broader mind than the average man.

He had donated the medicine prescription for free before, and now he was willing to donate this profitable wine-making recipe to the court for free. What a selfless person he was!

Emperor Yongxing asked, "Why don't you make money by brewing wine? If, as you said, the profit is a hundredfold, your brewing recipe will be worth a mountain of gold and silver."

Zhang Hulan replied, "Your Majesty, what use would I have for so much silver?

I don't raise an army or manufacture weapons, and I only have a few people in my family, so I can't spend that much money."

Emperor Yongxing almost choked on his own saliva.

Raising an army and making weapons? How could she come up with such an idea and dare to say it out loud?

If anyone else dared to say this, I might really doubt it.

Emperor Yongxing thought for a moment and said, "I'll have the Ministry of Revenue notify everyone about the lotus root planting. As for the winery..."

Emperor Yongxing paused for a moment before speaking, "I see that the Crown Prince and your youngest daughter have a very good relationship. How about I grant them a marriage?"

"what?"

Zhang Hulan was a little confused. Why did the emperor bring up the matter of granting marriage?

"Your Majesty, my humble daughter is only seven years old..."

Emperor Yongxing said, "That's fine. We don't want them to get married right away. We can arrange their marriages and wait until they come of age before getting married."

Zhang Hulan looked embarrassed. This was a great thing, a great thing for both her and the Zhang family. But Zhang Hulan didn't want to make the decision for Zhang Xinyue.

Would she refuse? Would she be beheaded if she did?

When Emperor Yongxing asked that question, he was paying close attention to Zhang Hulan's expression. If it were anyone else, they would definitely be ecstatic about such a great thing happening to them, but he saw that Zhang Hulan looked embarrassed, and it didn't seem like he was pretending.

"What? You don't want to?"

Zhang Hulan said, "Your Majesty, I do not wish to make the decision on the children's marriage. I want them to find the person who will accompany them for the rest of their lives."

Emperor Yongxing smiled and said, "Tianjun and Daoning have a very good relationship. They are also senior and junior brothers and sisters. They can be said to be childhood sweethearts. I think they should be willing."

Zhang Hulan said: "The relationship between children is not fixed. They have a good relationship now, but this relationship is just pure friendship.

Maybe it will develop into love in the future, but maybe it will continue to be this pure friendship.

A woman has two chances to be reborn in this life.

For the first time, they had no choice; they could not decide what family they were born into.

Choosing a husband is their second reincarnation in life.

If they have a good marriage and marry the person they love, their life will be happy and fulfilling in the second half of their life.

I hope my daughters can choose their own paths for the rest of their lives."

Emperor Yongxing felt that Zhang Hulan was a great mother. She remained unmoved despite the wealth and glory right before her eyes. She only hoped that her daughter could live a happy life. How many people could do that?

Emperor Yongxing said: "I agree with you and respect your ideas.

But I really like Daoning.

How about this, let’s make a verbal agreement on this matter.

When Tianjun and Daoning reach the appropriate age, you can ask Daoning's opinion and ask if they are interested in becoming a couple. If they are interested in each other, I will then grant them a formal marriage. How about that?

That's fine, Zhang Hulan agreed immediately, "I have no objection."

Emperor Yongxing nodded, and then said: "Regarding the winery business you mentioned, I will arrange for people to build winemaking workshops in various prefectures, and then you will be in charge.

I will give you 20% of all the wineries, and the rest will be given to Tianjun.

You still have two daughters, and this 20% is given to them by me."

Zhang Hulan felt that the emperor was a very kind person. If Zhang Xinyao and Zhang Xinyi had this 10% share, they would be able to live a worry-free life.

He only gave 20%, it seems that he is determined to make Zhang Xinyue his daughter-in-law.

"Then I, humble servant, would like to thank the Emperor on behalf of my two daughters."

Emperor Yongxing smiled and said, "This is originally your property. I should be thanking you."

Zhang Hulan then said to Emperor Yongxing, "Your Majesty, I have previously signed a contract with the eldest son of the Marquis of Jing'an. I will sell all the wine my mother produces to him. I must inform him of this matter."

Emperor Yongxing said, "That's fine. We'll just sell the wine to him and let him do what he wants."

When Zhang Hulan came out of the palace, she didn't feel bad at all about giving the wine-making business to Emperor Yongxing. Too much money was not a good thing. Even if she could keep her original intention, others would still be eyeing her.

Now that she has given the business to Emperor Yongxing, who would dare to think about it in the future?

Moreover, Emperor Yongxing also left 20% for her, which was more than enough and she even made a profit.

Zhang Hulan then sent out a lot of wine one after another.

The Queen and Ye Hongyun each sent five jars, while Wu Bangtai and Duke Wei each sent two jars.

Lord Wang and Ye Hongling also sent two jars each. Zhang Hulan also asked Ye Hongling to pass a message to Wang Xingren, asking Wang Xingren to come to her to discuss business.

Zhang Hulan also sent two jars of wine to Qin Bingrong, and told him the idea of ​​a manual water press, asking him to help her make it.

After finishing these things, Zhang Hulan began to teach Xiang Chunhua how to make soap.

After Xiang Chunhua took a bath with the soap she made, she couldn't put it down.

"Sister, can I use this soap to bathe for a long time when I go back?"

Zhang Hulan said, "Use it as you like. Let my parents, my eldest brother and his wife all use this to bathe in the future."

Zhang Hulan instructed Xiang Chunhua again, "Sell this soap to Xingren for 500 wen a piece. We don't care how much he sells it for. From now on, there will be a lot of oil residue every day. We will give it to the people on the pile to cook. If the people on the pile can't finish it, we will share it with the villagers. If they don't want it, forget it."

"Okay sister, I remember everything."
