In the morning, Huang, who entered the palace to discuss matters, took the time to go to the queen's sister to talk about family matters.

Seeing that his sister Huang Feng had the ability to keep her face alive, she suddenly felt that she couldn't take the gift she brought.

Huang Yan looked at the gifts brought by his brother, but they were some skin care products, and smiled and said, "So my brother knows these too?"

"The effect is pretty good. Since we are visiting several nieces, although it is not a rare thing, we need a gift after all." Huang? smiled. The gift he brought was actually given to several princesses.

Although there is no shortage of such skin care products in the palace, as my uncle, how can I do without bringing some gifts?

Huang Yan held a bottle of ointment and said the name, formula and 'advertising slogan': "Cardamom cream, three inches of yellow cypress skin, three inches of earthworm root, seven jujubes, grind it into the paste."

"I often get up early and use it to wash my face, and I look like a girl in my last ten days. It is best to use it after bathing."

This was a face cream, and she picked up another bottle: "Blue silk oil, use ten stems of Viagra, two branches of Orchidaceae leaves, three stems of tooth soap, twenty black alpine cows, and one piece of yellow cypress skin."

"Cut each with a fine piece, put it in a silk bag, put it in a jar, and soak it in real sesame oil. It can remove greasy, clean the temples, and protect the long hair. If the temples are felt and knotted, you can comb it immediately."

This is hair care oil.

There is also scent (perfume-type body lotion), made with chicken tongue fragrance, aquamarine, alfalfa, orchid fragrance, and alcohol-soaked fragrance and a series of treatments.

These skin care products are the most popular products in Kaifeng City today. Although they are expensive, they have very good results, so the supply is in short supply.

Of course, the concubines in the palace are not short of this type of skin care product, because they all use the best and have a "special supply".

But Huang? As his uncle, he brought some gifts to his nephew and nieces. This is mainly about etiquette. Whether the gift is expensive is the second.

The brother and sister talked about some family matters and turned to the topic.

As Chu State's territory grows bigger and the situation gets better and more and more ways to make money. Huang? Now he is struggling whether to tilt resources to the sea trade or to bet on the grassland border trade.

Of course, it is best to have everything, but I am afraid that I can’t eat too much, so I have to invest a lot of energy and resources to engage in “foreign trade”.

He is not short of money, but his family has a big business and a lot of expenses, and he has to buy a golden job for his descendants, so he cannot slack off.

Huang? Knows that it is best to ask the brother-in-law of the God of Wealth directly, but it is hard to ask, because my sister reminded him several times:

You are a member of Fangzhen. When you meet Your Majesty, you should talk about official affairs, state affairs, national affairs, people's livelihood, and customs and customs in various places.

How can you ask how to make a lot of money? It's not so good!

When the prince ascended the throne in the future, he looked at his daily notes. According to the records, when "Huang Gong" talked with the late emperor, he always asked how to make money and how to make a lot of money...

How do you ask the prince to think of your uncle? How do you reuse your cousin?

So, Huang? Come and ask her sister, after all, she is her own family, so she can’t watch her parents’ "family falls in the middle", right?

"I heard someone tell a story." Huang Yan said slowly, Huang? He is so energetic: Who else can tell stories to his sister and keep them in mind?

"In a village, gold sand was found in a nearby river. Then, people discovered gold mines upstream, and found many veins and a wide range."

"The news spread quickly, so young and strong people from all directions rushed over to rush gold sand, dig gold mines, and want to make a fortune."

"The villagers are eager to try it out. They don't plant the land anymore, so they go to dig gold sand and dig gold mines."

"But there was a villager who did not go to find gold, but started a raft, that is, an inn."

“Provide food and accommodation for people coming and going.”

"Because there are many customers, he quickly made a lot of money, and then expanded the scale of the inn, had more rooms, and invited a chef to take charge, hire a mate, and also a restaurant."

"There are endless people coming to find gold. His inn is cheap and affordable, so the guests are like clouds and the scale continues to expand."

"I started grocery trading, selling all kinds of daily necessities to gold diggers, such as iron tools, and also worked as an intermediary to hire or sell people in the middle."

"There have been many gold diggers, but not everyone has the luck to find gold sand and dig gold mines. Many people are busy all year round, empty-handed and can't make much money."

"I want to go home, but I'm short of money and my outfit is just a burden, and I can't take the jars and jars away."

"So, the villagers who opened inns, restaurants, grocery shops, and intermediaries set up quality warehouses to recycle the equipment and belongings of frustrated gold hunters at low prices, so that the other party can get some copper coins and have a travel fee to go home."

"Then he sold these equipment, tools, and prices to new gold diggers."

"Years have passed, countless people have come, full of longing for wealth, and settled in the former village that has become a small town."

"Countless people's dream of getting rich is broken, and they waste their years of light and shadow here, and their hearts are sad. They use tools, their homes as low prices as quality warehouses, and they embark on the road to return home with some copper coins."

"We came and went in a hurry. Most people did not realize their dream of gold rush, including many villagers."

"These villagers left their land and took tools to hunt gold and dig gold. They worked for several years without any gains, but found that the villagers who opened the inn had become a giant business."

"Not only have many industries under his name, they also bought a lot of land, had a lot of concubines and children, and married a large family, becoming the guest of state officials."

"The whole family moved to the prefecture to live, and sent a few shopkeepers to manage the village's industries."

"This person is no longer the poor villager who carried a hoe with them to the ground."

Huang? After listening, I quickly understood.

Whether it is sea trade or grassland border trade, if done well, it will indeed be huge profits.

But how many people can do this?

The sea trade is very risky. Once the fleet encounters a storm at sea, it means that both people and goods are empty and they lose a lot of money.

The risk of grassland border trade is not small.

The Huang family is neither a powerful man in the coastal areas nor a frontier family. It will be very hard and risky if they insist on competing with local snakes.

Then, it is better to settle for the second best and do "service".

To be precise, it is to provide "financial services".

At the beginning, the Huang family was a local snake who opened a gambling stall in Poyang City. Later, because his son-in-law Li Li became the inner history of Poyang, he closed the gambling stall and changed to a business, and engaged in many industries.

But among many industries, money shops are the most cost-effective.

Making money with money is "financial". As long as you do well, you will make a lot of money, but the risk is not that great.

Since ancient times, doing business has been about making good turnover at hand, that is, sufficient "liquid capital".

Therefore, no matter whether you are in business, business, or doing "foreign trade", merchants of all sizes have strong dependence and demand for "liquid capital".

Money houses, or "counterhouses", attract depositors to deposit money with interest, and then use the money to provide funds to merchants in the form of lending money, either for emergency relief or for capital for trading.

This is "financial services".

No matter whether the merchant makes a profit or loses money after borrowing money, the bank will not compensate: the merchant’s collateral can be used to offset the debt.

So, in the story my sister told, isn’t the villagers who opened an inn and provided services to gold diggers doing this kind of business?

As a relative of the Huang family, they operated money houses and collected deposits and lent money, and no one dared to make trouble.

Because of their good reputation, strong funds, and shareholders all have great backgrounds (most of them have nobles to invest in), even if they do not use the connections in the palace, they are enough to intimidate ghosts and monsters.

Whether it is sea trade or grassland border trade, money shops only lend money and do not grab business, and local tyrants will not be in a hurry to jump over the wall. Instead, they can discuss cooperation and make money together.

So, this bowl of rice can be eaten for a long time, but isn’t it much more stable than doing trade directly?

My brother-in-law is really a God of Wealth!

When Huang Gui saw that his brother was happy, he no longer talked about this topic. As a concubine, she was not favored by her legitimate brother since she was a child, and she was even forced to disguise herself as a man until she got married.

To be honest, before marrying Li Li, there was actually no sibling relationship between her and her legitimate brother.

However, Li Li is getting taller and taller, and needs relatives to help her, and her son also needs uncle to support her.

Therefore, if the Huang family can help, they still have to help. After all, the father’s grace of raising him always needs to be repaid.

Then, I will help you, and you will have to help me too.

Seeing that there was no one on the left and no one was heard from the wall, Huang Gui asked: "Your Majesty wants the prince to take charge of Ping Zhou. In your opinion, how should we deal with it?"

This matter is very important, Huang? Put away his smile: "Is my sister worried about affecting the position of the prince?"

Huang Yan nodded, Huang? I felt it was unlikely: "Your Majesty is very satisfied with the prince, why should I think too much about it?"

"I'm afraid that someone will think too much." Huang Yan did not hide his worries. Li Li had many women and many sons, so the status of the prince was always a bit threatening.

Huang? Point out a key point: "Sister, I think you are concerned about it and it will be a mess. The crown prince of Chu can only be your son. There are four legitimate princes, and the crown prince can only be one of these four. Don't even think about it if you don't think about it!"

"My brother-in-law is a sensible person. How could he be fascinated by other women?"

Huang Yan looked at his brother and said word by word: "But what if three of these four have the intention to fight for the throne?"

This time, Huang? was scared: "No, no..."

Although it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor for his four nephews, once the other three legitimate princes start to take the position of crown prince, the storm caused by this is not a joke.

Especially, he, who is the uncle, is stuck in the middle and is not a human on the left and right.

Nothing better than mother. As a mother, Huang Gui was worried that Erlang, Sanlang and Silang had ideas about Dalang's location. This...

What's going on?

"Don't think too much, I just need to prevent problems before they happen." Huang Yan's tone slowed down, "The position of the prince cannot be shaken, and no one can take advantage of it."

"And we have to take it as a warning to the lessons of the Gao Qi brothers' slaying each other. If the prince's reputation is too high, then at some point, there will be thoughts that should not have."

Huang? He felt a little relieved, but he didn't dare to take it lightly: "My sister means I am giving a suggestion from His Majesty? Take the initiative?"

Huang Yan nodded: "Yes, in the future, the prince must take charge of the week to ensure that the Li family and Erlang can save the scene in the future."

"However, the crown prince generally does not take charge of the command to go to the battle, otherwise it will only cause more trouble. When other princes take charge of the command to go to the battle, they will achieve great achievements in destroying the country and pose a threat to the position of the crown prince."
