Chapter 69 As the son of a tyrant, I dominate 8

After the two parties finished discussing the cooperation, the merchant left, and before leaving, he wisely left a box, saying it was a meeting gift for the son.

The box was presented, and as soon as Sheng Baozheng opened it, the brilliance in it shone like a mirror, making everyone in the hall dumbfounded. Undoubtedly, it was a box of gold, silver and jewels.The white jade pearl inside was actually bigger than a baby's fist.

They never expected that this group of merchants would be so generous. Just when they thought the prince had taken advantage of it, the other party backhanded and told them that this cooperation was for them, a group of real wealthy households. , but a drop in the bucket.There is sincerity, and it is true to show off wealth.

Even the little fox was alarmed.

The crown worn by Prince Dafeng is a nine-pronged crown, while the emperor's is a twelve-pronged crown. The beads connected in series on it are not as good as a white jade pearl presented by a merchant in Sheng Baozheng's hand in terms of color and rarity.What does it mean that the royal relatives are not as good as a prince.

Wei Ziyan couldn't sit still: "They still slaughtered them!" His tone was full of regret and envy, and he felt that these merchants were extremely sincere and offered so many treasures.

However, the little fox saw Sheng Baozheng playing with the fist-sized pearl, his black eyes were still clear, not as greedy as a philistine as he imagined.

Sheng Baozheng asked in a leisurely tone, "Do you like it?"

"I like it." The servants nodded hurriedly, as if they didn't even dare to take a breath. Who can resist such a rare thing.

"Do you think this thing is valuable?" Sheng Baozheng asked again, holding a glass-like pink bead in his little hand, he was satisfied to see that all the maids in the room were fascinated.

"It's valuable." Everyone replied in unison. They felt that it was not enough to describe it as valuable, and it should be described as priceless.

They thought Xiao Shizi would be satisfied with their answer, but they didn't expect Xiao Shizi to say: "You are really ignorant, what those businessmen want to see is what you look like." These words made them all confused.

Sheng Baozheng: "I don't believe that there isn't a smart person in the house. This is good. I will take a golden bead as a lottery head. Whoever can give me an answer that satisfies me will give this golden bead to him. The time limit is before sunset , from all over the house, as long as they have free time, anyone can participate, come to the study and report the situation to me."

He held up a golden bead the size of a quail. Under the sunlight, the brilliance of the golden bead was so dazzling that everyone gasped and scrambled to answer questions and call people.

For an afternoon, the little fox watched coldly, the young boy was playing with a few beautiful colored glass beads, and there were countless answers, but they were all rejected one by one.Many servants cleverly understood Xiao Shizi's thoughts, so they all answered that it was worthless, but when Sheng Baozheng asked why it was not worth much, they choked up again and couldn't answer.Sheng Baozheng sighed, waved his hands, and made them retreat.

In the end, even Yin Fengyuan couldn't figure out what tricks this 15-year-old boy was playing.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, everyone in the whole house was impatient, Wei Ziyan also said eagerly: "Azheng, good Azheng, just give me a hint, why is such a big pearl worthless?"

This is so unbelievable, although it is not rare in the world, it is also considered a priceless jewel, but it turned out to be worthless when it came to Sheng Baozheng's mouth.

But he could keenly sense that Sheng Baozheng was not joking, so he couldn't figure it out, scratching his head and scratching his head to find out the answer. God knows those masters at Baiyun College had never made him so eager to find out.

Seeing that the time for answering questions was half an hour away, Sheng Baozheng decided to lower the difficulty: "I'll give you a few tips, you must listen carefully. First, it's valuable or not. It must be judged by the region, and the second is that you pay attention to recalling the accents of those merchants, and if you have the answer, come to the study to find me."

This question is actually not difficult, but the difficult thing is that relocation is not easy. Many people have been trapped in the land of the capital for generations, and they have no chance to go out to broaden their horizons, which constrains them.

It wasn't until sunset, when everyone was waiting for Sheng Baozheng to solve the riddle, that two people presented the answer. One was Sheng Baoyi, who was well-known in the family for being a polymath and rich in knowledge, and the other was actually the accountant who served by Sheng Guogong's side. gentlemen.

Sheng Baoyi said generously: "I am not coveting gold and pearls, but I am particularly interested in my brother's question, so I am here to answer. I have read Mr. Song's travel notes, and it was recorded in the travel notes that there are countless isolated islands in the South China Sea. , the residents on the island all migrated from the wars in the Central Plains during the change of dynasties, and they have retained the simplicity of a hundred years ago. People in the Central Plains rely on the mountains and water, and they rely on the sea to eat the sea. But the residents on the island are extremely rich, because there are rich pearls, each of which is as big as a fist stone, but they are also extremely poor. Coral pearls are the least valuable there, because they can be seen everywhere, so they are comparable to gravel on the sea... But in their eyes, what is worthless Things, after traveling to the Central Plains several times, they can suddenly become objects that are sought after and loved by aristocratic families."

Only then did the answer come to light, and Sheng Baoyi didn't stay at home, but he answered this troubling question through his extensive knowledge.His excellence has attracted the admiration of countless people in the family.Where no one noticed, a certain fox also showed appreciation.

To his surprise, the concubine of the Duke's Mansion had such talent.

Another accountant, Yang Yun, also gave the same answer. He smiled, stroked his beard, and said, "Master Baoyi's answer is Zhuyu first, and Yang feels ashamed. Yang is only following Xiao Shizi's advice." Under the circumstances, I remembered that the accents of those merchants came from the South China Sea, so I suddenly realized."

Both of them gave good answers, and Sheng Baozheng rewarded each with a golden bead.

No matter how the two of them refused and expressed that they deserved it, he gave it all, sincerely and without stinginess.He even saw that Mr. Yang Yunyang was talented, so he dug him into his side, and gave him a promotion abruptly.

"So this is what you said, Azheng, is worthless. Those businessmen are from the South China Sea. They just took the gadgets they can see everywhere in their own place, and they want to exchange them for our gratitude. Is that what you mean?" Wei Ziyan cursed secretly When you say businessmen are cunning, you think you have taken advantage of it, but in fact they will never make money at all.

"That's right." Sheng Baozheng nodded, "The pearls in this box are not worth much. The imperial court restricts shipping, causing countless islands to drift overseas. The imperial court can't control them at all. You just need to take a boatload of rice grains and go to the islands. The fishermen on the sea can exchange for this box of jewels by bartering."

Wei Ziyan opened his mouth wide enough to hold an egg: "Food is also the least valuable here, but the price is comparable to gold there?"

Sheng Baozheng sighed and spread his hands, "Who made the island's soil so barren that it is impossible to grow rice grains? Rice grains are expensive, and fishermen on the islands can only rely on going out to sea to fish every day. Rice grain, all these real gold and silver have been lost."

His remarks caused a certain fox to frown, not for any reason, but because the imperial court didn't pay attention to it, which led to the sudden rise of possessiveness due to the loss of these wealth.A dandy boy far away in the capital understands the truth, why don't a group of courtiers full of knowledge know it?

"Those merchants took advantage of the loopholes in the imperial court's shipping and accumulated these wealth by relying on the sea merchants. Do you remember their skin color and hands? They are all traces of the wind and sun at sea." In front of Qing, Sheng Baozheng's tone was always slightly suggestive.

Don't ask how Sheng Baozheng noticed it, in the plot, a certain prince made his fortune by relying on this, and sent his staff to station on the island, earning wealth for many years, accumulating gold and silver, and these gold and silver are the other party's future The rising capital has deceived everyone with all hands and eyes.

Hearing Sheng Baozheng's explanation, Wei Xiaohou Ye's eyes suddenly burst into a particularly fiery light, and he said: "So that's the case, then I will hire a few more private boats, in the name of going fishing, and exchange grain for pearls. "

Anyone who exploits a loophole is not exploiting it, he wants to exploit it!He could already imagine himself surrounded by countless wealth.

"Add me." Sheng Baozheng took out a box from under his bed. Inside were more than a dozen banknotes, all of which were the small treasury of the original owner's private money that had been squandered and saved over the years.He solemnly handed the small money box to Wei Ziyan, "This is all the private money I have saved for several years. My father doesn't even know about it. Ziyan, please don't disappoint my trust." Nothing can be hidden from his eyes, but for such a child's behavior of hiding money, it is mostly regarded as unknowing connivance.

"Okay." Wei Ziyan accepted it, and before he returned to the Hou Mansion excitedly, before he organized a manpower, before he built and purchased sea ships, the imperial court suddenly took action to reform shipping, saying that it had decided not to restrict After shipping by sea, the imperial court will send official ships to sea to do business and communicate with overseas.

When the huge wave of Emperor Feng came, their boat was completely overturned before they officially set out to sea, and all the bank notes were lost.

Everyone in Wei Ziyan was dumbfounded, Sheng Baozheng cried directly, it was useless for Sheng Guogong and Sheng Baoyi to take turns to appease him, he hammered his knees, crying out of breath, crying like dead parents, crying It was as if he had been greatly wronged.

"Azheng, don't cry, you and I are the only ones in the room that day, and someone among us must have a ghost." Wei Ziyan patted him on the shoulder and raised a possibility.

The fox on the bed turned over leisurely.

Sheng Baozheng stopped crying, tears froze in the corners of his eyes, and said coldly: "Just tell me, who do you doubt, do you doubt me?" It might mean that if you dare to nod your head, I will break your head with you every minute .

"I didn't say that, of course you are credible." Wei Ziyan was sweating profusely, "Well, it's also possible that I dozed off, and there was no way for anyone to hear what I said, and I leaked the wind, so it's not your fault. "

Only then did Sheng Baozheng lose his temper.

But for the next few days, the boy was still listless, lacking energy, and couldn't help but feel pain when he walked, sat and lay down, and said, "My money, the private money I have saved for several years." His mental state was completely taken away by a certain fox The fundus of the eyes, although the face is still cold, but squinted imperceptibly.

The next day, Emperor Feng suddenly gave some things to the Duke's Mansion for no reason, which caused an uproar in the court and the public.

It is nothing that His Majesty bestows on meritorious ministers, but this time the rewards are very meaningful.It is a time when various places pay tribute to the imperial court. For example, Yunjin, which is paid tribute every year in Suzhou and Hangzhou, is famous for its colorful and gorgeous changes like clouds. Each latitude is wrapped with silk threads of different colors. The annual output is not much, but three horses were given to the Duke's Mansion in one breath.

How can this make people not envious and jealous.

Sheng Guogong was also at a loss, because these fabrics were too bright, they didn't look like they were worn for prudent people, but they seemed to be specially given to the young people in the family.

But this doesn't make sense, because His Majesty has a treacherous and moody temperament, and the most annoying people are basically dudes like Sheng Baozheng. How can he reward things? He can only think of it when he thinks about it, son The imperial examination book issued a few days ago, although it was an act of a merchant, may have coincided with the holy intention to a certain extent.

As a result, Sheng Baozheng got three priceless horses, each of which was so exquisite that it was hard to put it down.Although he held his small chin and pondered Jun Feng's thoughts like Duke Sheng, he finally gave Sheng Baoyi a horse according to his own ideas.

It was a green bamboo pattern, very suitable for teenagers to wear, and it looked very handsome and elegant when worn on the body.

Sheng Baoyi quickly came to thank him.

He knew that His Majesty gave three bolts of cloth, all of which belonged to Sheng Baozheng, but he had no idea that after the clothes were cut, he still had his own share, and he still had to tailor the clothes according to his size.This is a tribute cloth, what a humble bastard he is, so he naturally came to thank him in fear.

The little fox was still sleeping on the bed, and he squinted his eyes lazily, seemingly dozing off, but actually he had a panoramic view of this scene of brothers and sisters respecting each other.

After being settled in the Duke's mansion at close range for a few days, he found that the rumors from the outside world were distorted. Sheng Baozheng was an embroidered pillow who was unlearned and incompetent. on the wall.Only after he saw it with his own eyes did he realize that ignorance may be true, but the other rumors are purely false.Emperor Feng's legacy among the people, although he loves to play and love money, is far superior to his peers in his talent, generosity and love.

Yin Fengyuan let go of his soul and returned to the imperial study. He has always been very diligent in politics. After the sudden shipping policy, he would call a few courtiers to discuss political affairs every now and then.

The more highly valued he is, the longer he will stay in the imperial study.

One day, the Seventh Prince was called in. He was in a nervous mood. No one in the palace knew about Emperor Feng's disposition. It is the love of thousands of people.

Fortunately, my father asked him a few questions, such as which sea area the white jade pearl you presented on the Queen Mother's birthday came from. This kind of insignificant question was not harsh. It seemed to be just chatting about family matters, which made him feel a little relieved. , Said it was the East China Sea.

He didn't want to be discovered by his father. Under the premise of the limitation of sea transportation, he sent his men to dig for gold.The money obtained from overseas is the treasure house for his future take-off.Maybe he answered very safely, Emperor Feng asked him to go to the imperial study for several days.

He didn't give him anything, just let him stay in the imperial study, and asked him if he often went to see his mother and concubine.

The Seventh Prince was at a loss, but he still replied seriously: "Of course, my ministers often go to my concubine mother to fulfill my filial piety. Although my concubine is in the palace, her knowledge is not as shallow and ignorant as ordinary women, and she can often give my ministers some advice. The truth of being a human being." There was a trace of blush on his handsome face, like admiration and attachment, he praised his mother and concubine according to his instinct, and didn't raise his head to notice the deep eyes of Yin Fengyuan at the moment.

After he came out of the imperial study, half a day passed like this.

The Seventh Prince didn't know why, but he still did his best. After returning to the mansion, his confidants pinched his shoulders and beat his back, "Your Highness has been in the palace all day, but are you tired?"

"I'm not tired. I can share my father's worries. There's no need to be tired." The Seventh Prince smiled. He wouldn't say that he was called by Emperor Feng, but that he was working as a screen in the imperial study. His voice turned and said: "Recently I go out early and return late, is the house still peaceful?"

"Naturally peaceful, but since His Highness went to the imperial study for a few days, there has been a lot of gossip outside the mansion." The confidant said.

"In the house of eldest brother and sixth brother?" The seventh prince is so intelligent, he naturally understands it. It seems that his father's daily summons these days have made the eldest prince and sixth prince feel a sense of crisis.

"Yes, but His Highness is favored, there is no need to take the gossiping words of these idlers to heart, all you need to do is to share your worries wholeheartedly."

The Seventh Prince laughed, "It's only natural."

It just so happened that the maid sent a bowl of cold goat's milk soup, which she said was made by the side concubine herself. He was in a good mood and took two mouthfuls to eat. He didn't know what was in the small bowl of goat's milk soup. Ordinary, but the taste is very delicious.

What's more, after eating, there is a comfortable air flow in the dantian, slowly soaking into the internal organs, as if the spring breeze is blowing on the face, the whole person's eyebrows and eyes are much more relaxed, and his face is also rosy.

Some didn't eat enough, and their stomachs were like thunder. The seventh prince said: "Go to the concubine's place today." After being instructed by the concubine, he actually didn't like this kind of shallow way of coddling in the backyard, but helplessly, Sheng Baoqin's hands were like The food given by the gods was so delicious that it firmly grasped his stomach.

Hearing the voice of the servant's announcement, Sheng Baoqin smiled like a crescent moon, and dripped some spirit spring water on the pastry in front of him.

But before the Seventh Prince could stay overnight, suddenly the Seventh Prince's confidantes ran over like his butt was on fire, and the Seventh Prince's face immediately turned pale, and before Sheng Baoqin could make a sound to persuade him to stay, he turned his head and left without hesitation.

What the hell is going on here?What could be more important than her going to bed?Sheng Baoqin, who had prepared for a long time but failed to get the expected result, had a look of resentment on her face.

Then when the eunuch in the palace came to announce the decree, she realized what happened. The seventh prince was imprisoned for half a year by Emperor Feng's decree.

The Seventh Prince accepted the imperial decree in a daze, and found that it was indeed the seal of Yin Fengyuan himself.

He learned about the change of the shipping policy from other people, and only then did he understand why Emperor Feng called him over for several days in a row. It turned out that it was not to watch his grown son up close, but to know about it a long time ago. Knowing the truth, he was specially given a deadline, waiting for him to take the initiative to confess the facts, to be lenient when confessing, and to be strict when resisting.

But he was clever but was mistaken by his cleverness. He naively thought that he was favored by his father, and even out of damn vanity, he didn't tell his staff that he was actually a screen in the imperial study these days, otherwise they would I will definitely be vigilant and make suggestions for myself in advance, instead of being passive today.

The Seventh Prince's mind was blank now, all of which was the ruthless and disappointed face of Emperor Feng. He wanted to plead with the eunuch who announced the edict to let him enter the palace to meet his father. This time, he would definitely confess his mistakes honestly.

But when he came back to his senses, there was no shadow of the palace man in front of him.
