    In Yan State, good things require tribute.  The day after Chen Xu invented the soap, a shameless court official snatched the soap his daughter bought and sent it to the palace.  Emperor Shenzong didn't understand romance. When he heard that this gadget was worth fifteen hundred taels of silver, his eyes turned into Brother Kong Fang's.  Yongshou Palace is the treasure house of Emperor Shenzong. If you use one word to describe it, it is magnificent.  Emperor Shenzong is the king of a country, but he has the vulgarity of a nouveau riche.  Emperor Shenzong was not very interested in rare treasures, exotic treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. The treasures he understood were either made of pure gold, cast of pure silver, or simply real gold and silver that could be used for circulation.  Emperor Taizu of Yan, Emperor Gao, "forbids the private trade of gold and silver goods as a last resort, and offenders will be punished." At that time, it was stipulated that large-scale transactions of commodities should be paid with treasure banknotes, and only cast coins with a value of less than 100 yuan could be paid. For commercial taxes, both money and banknotes should be collected.  Every decree is time-sensitive. Perhaps Emperor Shenzong considered that keeping a pile of copper coins and banknotes in the Treasure Pavilion was unsightly. With him taking the lead, the court gradually recognized the currency status of gold and silver, and various taxes began to be paid in gold and silver.  calculate.  Emperor Shenzong was playing with soap. If he "sells" the soap to the concubines in the palace, wouldn't he make a small fortune?  The emperor's concubines had the same rank and salary as the ministers of the foreign court. As for the additional rewards, they were equivalent to today's performance wages.  Emperor Shenzong was very keen on such rewards. Perhaps in order to experience the pleasure of being a rich man, when he favored his concubines, he imagined himself as a prostitute and spent a lot of money.  Not only did the money-keeping emperor not feel pain in his body, he actually enjoyed it endlessly.  No matter which concubine is rewarded, he will definitely serve as a "salesman" afterwards to sell some gadgets, so that he can legitimately collect the silver from the national treasury into his private treasury.  Ling Yuehua's business acumen is nothing compared to the emperor's empty-handed tactics.  Emperor Shenzong¡¯s sales promotion was very simple. In a nutshell, it was forced buying and selling.  In order to maximize the benefits, he must comprehensively consider the purchasing power of each concubine before selling.  At this moment, a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old walked in with her waist bent and tiptoes. The eunuchs around the emperor saw it but pretended not to see it. Little Princess Sirou loved to play this kind of joke with her father. They  Already used to it.  Princess Sirou¡¯s name is Zhu Fuyuan and she is fourteen years old.  It is said that the emperor is a very unusual species. His "reproductive ability" basically lasts throughout his life. It is also common for his grandson to be older than his son. Emperor Shenzong is fifty-two years old and has a fourteen-year-old daughter. This is simply trivial.  "Father, what is this? Give it to Sirou." Emperor Shenzong dotes on this little daughter the most, "Then Father, give me a reward to Sirou." The little princess took the soap in her hand, sniffed the faint fragrance and couldn't put it down, and thanked her father.  The emperor walked out of the Yongshou Palace in a ladylike manner, and then skipped to her mother's palace.  "Wang Zhen, go and tell Concubine Chen that I will reward Sirou with the soap paid by the foreign ministers in exchange for two thousand taels of silver." It is true that the emperor has a darker heart than the black-hearted merchant.  Concubine Chen, who had a graceful temperament in Changchun Palace, looked helplessly at Princess Sirou, who looked aggrieved.  The prince had already arrived, and Concubine Chen moved around and bought a lot of gold and silver jewelry before sending him away.  The palace is the center of power in the world and the center of evil. The intrigues of women are even greater than the fight for power among men. In order to pursue power, they will do anything.  Concubine Chen was a commoner's daughter, with outstanding beauty, and was invited by the emperor to enter the palace.  She has no family background and doesn't like intrigues. It's hard to stand out among the many concubines. What's more, Concubine Chen failed to give birth to a son. Her pursuits are much simpler. First, live in peace; second, look forward to the emperor.  In the future, I will choose a lovable consort for Sirou.  Emperor Shenzong doted on Sirou and loved her house as much as she loved her. Her life as a mother was not bad, but two thousand silver was not a small amount. The prince left with satisfaction, and she was reduced from a well-off family to abject poverty.  "Mother, I don't know this thing is worth these silver taels. The worst the worst I'll do is return it to my father." On formal occasions, Princess Sirou calls her Concubine Chen. Of course, there is no need to deliberately emphasize her royal status in Changchun Palace.  They are no different from folk mothers and daughters.  Princess Sirou actually had no idea about silver. She only realized the preciousness of soap when she saw her mother pledging a lot of jewelry to the prince.  She held it carefully in her hands. Although she said she would return it to her father, she felt a little reluctant to part with it.  Concubine Chen quickly covered her daughter's mouth. Who dares to withdraw the gift from the emperor?  Even in modern society, buying something in a supermarket is expensive, but this cannot be a reason to return it. What¡¯s more, you have to ask for money from the emperor. What is the difference between this and pulling a tooth from a tiger¡¯s mouth?  "You should keep the things your father has given you and use them. If you want anything in the future, you must tell your mother first." Concubine Chen held Princess Sirou's hair and said. It seemed that this was not the first time she said this in my memory.  "Mother, SirouyiThere will definitely be an idea.  "Emperor Shenzong is good at business. As his daughter, Princess Sirou is also quite talented. The things gifted by her father cannot be returned or sold, but she can find soap makers to buy them back at low prices and then sell them to the palace at high prices.  The concubines and princesses. Sirou remembered the origin of the soap mentioned by the prince. She had met Ling Yuehua several times and knew Yang Yunrui. She felt that she could discuss it with them. The youngest second-level dealer in the palace was forced to come out.  Yang Yunrui told the emperor about Chen Xu's idea of ????special operations. Emperor Shenzong's military ability was far inferior to his business ability. Of course, his two talents can only be compared with the height of two dwarfs, and the latter is slightly better than Wang.  It is true that Zhen Zhen was a eunuch, but he was a literate Taiji, which was outstanding among the neutral people in the palace. Emperor Shenzong trusted this eunuch and glanced at him inquiringly.  To realize the great dream of Hengdao Lima, he must have a good relationship with the military. How much money can be spent on an army of several hundred people, let alone being selected from within the fifth military camp, why bother to offend General Yang on such a trivial matter, he said.  Emperor Shenzong nodded with satisfaction, "It's accurate!"  He looked at Yang Yunrui's memorial again and said, "Let's call this team Langya."  ""Langya" was named after Chen Xu. The emperor sealed the coffin, and Yang Yunrui immediately put it into practice. "Mingyang, how do you want to select?  " The two left the gate of the Duke's Mansion. Chen Xu looked up at the morning sun. The weather was good, especially suitable for running. He said, "I want to see their physical fitness, so let's do a fifty-kilometer forced march first.  " "Fifty kilometers?  "Yang Yunrui said in surprise. "Is there a problem?  "Chen Xu didn't know if Yan State had the concept of "kilometer". He thought for a while and said: "Then let's march a hundred miles.  " "Are you sure you are marching on foot?  "Yang Yunrui looked at Chen Xu in disbelief. "How about each person carrying fifty kilograms of weight?  " Yang Yunrui: "" Just as the two were about to mount their horses, a clear voice shouted: "General Yang, stay here. I have something to see your wife.  "The two of them turned around at the same time, and what caught their eyes was a boy dressed in a nondescript manner************************************  *************************** The first update today, please give me some recommendation votes, and remember to bookmark it when you read it;
