Chapter 278 Jian Bai? Propose marriage?
Lin Xiaofan is quite concerned about refined salt. After all, this may be his biggest source of income in the next few years.
"Brother Lin, the Jiang family and the Wen family also helped us in the last battle. And their attitude was very clear. They came to our side. Now we are allies with them. Regarding the refined salt, I want to They join in."
"They are the family here and know the situation here best. We will leave the production of refined salt to them. Brother Lin, you only need to do the most critical step, so that we can save a lot of trouble. .”
"Furthermore, people in our family have speculated that once the refined salt business becomes bigger and stronger, it will definitely take over all the businesses in the country. In one year, at least there will be profits of hundreds of thousands of taels. Even if each of them Only half of the profit is shared, which is tens of thousands of taels of silver. The money earned from this alone is even more than their other industries combined. With this layer of interest relationship, our relationship with them will also become stronger. Becoming more and more stable."
"Of course, the final decision still rests with Brother Lin."
Zhao Shan opened her mouth to analyze.
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly. What Zhao Shan said makes sense. These two families are more familiar with the situation here. Let them do it, it will indeed save a lot of trouble. As long as I have to block the production methods of slaked lime and soda lye, I won't be afraid of betrayal.
Moreover, these two families did help last time. Without them, he might have died or been injured more seriously, so it was necessary to compensate the two families. Lin Xiaofan was naturally happy to get the best of both worlds.
"I think it's feasible."
Lin Xiaofan immediately responded.
"Okay, then we will go and negotiate this matter with them tomorrow."
All the things that needed to be discussed were finished, and when they were leaving, Liu Shishi and others just walked out of the kitchen, holding lots of barbecue in their hands.
"Sister Zhao Shan, long time no see."
Seeing Zhao Shan, several people came up to say hello enthusiastically. However, when the two of them walked together, they must have something to talk about, and they might not be able to eat the barbecue.
"Husband, if you have anything to do, go and do it first."
Liu Shishi said wisely that Lin Xiaofan's business was the most important thing.
"There's nothing to do tonight. Sisi, go get some charcoal. Shishi, go get some meat. Let's have a barbecue dinner tonight."
Lin Xiaofan greeted.
……
Compared with the happy life here, Fengsheng far away in the capital is much miserable.
After returning home last time, she was severely scolded and then returned to this secluded courtyard. And this time he didn't even tell her when he would let her out.
Compared to last time, this secluded courtyard was more popular. There were several maids here to take care of her daily life.
Although these people are here to monitor her, they make her no longer as boring as before. At least she can find someone to talk to.
In the morning, she was still waving the spear in her hand as usual. Unlike other girls, her hobbies are dancing with guns and swords, and learning the art of war.
A silver spear flew in the air like a swimming dragon, and when it landed on the wooden pile nearby, it left a hole in it.
However, although her shooting skills were terrifyingly fast and extremely powerful, they were somewhat haphazard and seemed to be venting.
After finishing a set of marksmanship dance, she was already sweating profusely, and there were sawdust she knocked down everywhere.
She was about to take a break and drink a cup of tea. When she looked up, she saw a familiar figure standing at the door.
The person who came was wearing a bright yellow court robe, a court crown on his head, and his long white hair was neatly combed. Time has left wrinkles on her face, but one can vaguely see her unparalleled beauty when she was young.
When Fengsheng saw the person in front of him and the sawdust scattered around, he felt something bad in his heart. I'm afraid I won't be able to escape today's scolding.
Despite this, she put on a flattering smile and responded, saying:
"Grandma, why are you here? You didn't mention it to me."
"Xiao Liu, look what kind of ruin you have made of this small courtyard? And your hair is messy and you don't know how to comb it. You dance with guns and swords all day long. How can you look like a girl? "
The Empress Dowager Feng Qing gave Fengsheng a blank look and complained with disgust on her face.
In response, Fengsheng just stuck out his tongue, but did not dare to refute at all.
In fact, her real name is Kang Sheng, and she has royal blood flowing through her.
Her father, Kang Hong, is now the Sixth Prince. He is naturally intelligent and highly skilled in martial arts. He can lead troops to fight at the age of thirteen, which is many times better than the current emperor Kang Qi.
It's just that he was born two years late, so the throne fell into Kang Hong's hands.
After Kang Qi ascended the throne, Kang Hong wisely handed over his military power. Maybe he was bored in the capital, maybe in order to reduce his presence in front of Kang Qi, he took the princess to travel around the world, and he might not come back a few times throughout the year.
Kang Qi didn't do anything, and the Queen Mother Feng Qing was almost all responsible for liquidating the other princes back then. Although Kang Hong was a threat to the throne, he was also Feng Qing's child, and since he voluntarily surrendered his military power, he was naturally not liquidated.
Kang Hong and the princess traveled around the world, but Kang Sheng was too young to take them with them, so she grew up with Feng Qing since she was a child. She was even closer to Feng Qing than to her parents.
She inherited Kang Hong's martial arts talent. Although she was a girl, she had few rivals among her peers. He also inherited Kang Hong's bohemian character, and often caused troubles in the capital to disrupt Feng Qing's ordinary life.
"You're just as troublesome as your father. Starting tomorrow, I'll send someone to teach you about female beauty. If you can't learn it, don't leave this yard."
The more Feng Qing thought about it, the angrier she became. The father and daughter really broke her heart.
"what……"
When Fengsheng heard this, his face was full of grievances. Let her learn to be a female celebrity, but you still have to take half of her life?
"Ah, what? You dance with guns and sticks every day, and you won't be laughed at when you get married? Speaking of which, you are already so old, and it is time to find a marriage for you."
Feng Qing spoke, and after thinking for a moment, he continued:
"I think the Jian family's boy named Jian Bai is pretty good. He has become a cavalry general at a young age. And he killed two enemy generals in the battle of Qingzhou, which is considered brave and resourceful. Moreover, the Jian family is also a wealthy family, and his status is I'm worthy of you. I'll go and propose marriage to you in person in two days."
Jianbai? Propose marriage?
Marry him, are you kidding me?
Fengsheng's expression froze. She and Jian Bai were considered comrades in arms, but they had no interest in him at all.
When she mentioned this matter, she couldn't help but think of Lin Xiaofan in her mind. Thinking of Lin Xiaofan, the corners of her mouth also raised slightly.
"This matter has been settled. I will go and talk to Jian Chen about it in two days."
