Chapter 336: Princess Xuanle
"My dear Lord Su, are you sure your sister has made up her mind?" The emperor still had to go through the process.
Otherwise, if he agreed directly, it would seem that he was greedy.
In fact, Su Jing's background had been investigated long ago, and the emperor had known about the Su family's Yuyan Hall for a long time. However, Su Jing had just completed the Xuanhe Dam, and he could not get rid of him.
But in a few years, even if he doesn't say anything, those censors will definitely use this matter to make a fuss. He can't hide away, and he will be in big trouble.
All I can say is that the Su family is very smart, and those who know the times are heroes.
Su Jing emphasized many times that this industry was run by his sister, and it was his sister who took the initiative to donate it.
If this is true, then this woman's broad-mindedness should not be underestimated, as it is rare in the world.
"Your Majesty, I have made up my mind and can hand it over to the court at any time."
"Well, for the righteousness of the Su family, I thank Miss Su for her generosity on behalf of the people of Jin State and the families of the deceased soldiers."
The emperor was very pleased. The next day, he went to court and announced the matter in front of all the officials. He praised the Su family's parents for their good education and praised Su Wan of the Su family for her righteousness and said she was a role model for women.
The emperor directly announced that Su Wan of the Su family would be named Princess Xuanle, with a fief of one state, and the old lady of the Su family would be named a third-rank official.
This matter quickly spread in Kyoto, and Su Wan's fame directly overshadowed Gu Yue. In comparison, Gu Yue's contribution was not as good as Su Wan's.
The entire industrial chain was donated to the court, and an additional 120,000 taels were donated. How much money is that?
The longer the time, the more money there will be. Within two years, the entire treasury will be full again.
A full treasury is the foundation of a dynasty. Yuyantang's goat milk soap is extremely profitable. Su Wan earned 150,000 taels in just four years. This data represents everything.
There is nothing wrong with conferring the title of princess on someone.
Moreover, these 120,000 taels were used as pensions, which is a commendable honor.
The Su family is amazing. Two of their sons are officials, and they also have a princess.
The Princess Su Wan is unique in Kyoto. Only the daughter of a prince can be named a Princess, a title second only to a Princess.
Su Wan is not of royal blood, but his status rose rapidly due to his merits.
With a title and a family, his background is unrivaled.
Su Wan’s main idea is to do great things quietly. For her princess enthronement ceremony, she has to go directly to the palace, and the queen will personally receive the crown.
The princess has her own court robes and specially customized crown, which represent her identity and status.
Su's mother was granted the title of Consort by Imperial Noble Consort. The eunuchs in the palace came directly to the palace with the imperial edict and the court dress of a third-rank Consort by Imperial Noble Consort, without the need for canonization.
The eunuch took the two imperial edicts and followed Su Jing back to the Su family, then read the imperial edicts in public.
Everyone in the Su family knelt down to listen to the imperial edict. When Su's mother received the imperial edict and the court dress of the imperial consort, she was a little confused.
Su Jing took a bag of change and gave it to the eunuch who announced the decree, invited him for tea, and then personally saw him out.
Mother Su held the imperial edict and said directly:
"Mom, I got a reward too? I became a royal consort?"
In fact, this imperial edict from Su's mother is a must, but Su Jing has to ask for it. He is now a second-rank official and has made great achievements. He can ask for imperial edicts from both his stepmother and his wife.
The emperor might as well confer the title on them all at once, so as to avoid Su Jing having to ask for it and just go with the flow.
"Yes, you are now a noble lady, and your daughter is a princess." Father Su was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
The ancestral tombs of the Su family are full of smoke. There are both civil officials and military generals in the family, all of whom are high-ranking officials. Now there is also a princess.
This is such overwhelming wealth.
As a parent, it is impossible for you not to be proud when your children are all successful.
He now felt as if he was covered in golden light.
This princess is second only to the princess, and is of the second rank. The pattern on her court dress is a kite.
The queen's is the phoenix, the princess's is the peacock, and the princess's is the iris. Everywhere is a symbol of status.
The eunuch who announced the decree said that Su Wan should wear the princess's court dress three days later and was not allowed to wear any jewelry on her head. She should go to the palace for the enthronement ceremony, where the empress would personally receive the crown, and the ceremony would be completed with great ceremony.
"Ah, my daughter is now a princess, how wonderful."
Su's mother cried with joy. They had finally achieved their goal and had no regrets in this life. They just waited for their children to get married and have children. Only then would they die with peace of mind.
Su Wan also felt like she was dreaming. It was pretty good. She traveled through time and space in a book and became a princess. In the future, she would also be a figure in history books.
Su Jing told Su Wan that the court had sent a representative of the imperial merchants to hand over to her, and Su Wan had prepared everything, including all the documents, the account books of each store in Yuyan Hall for each quarter, and the clear records of income, expenditure and profit.
She only left herself 30,000 taels, not too much, right?
Su Wan also has requirements for the personnel roster, property deeds and land deeds. The management personnel she originally arranged cannot be changed. Even if there is a need to change, it has to wait until the contract expires.
The emperor had no objection to this. Once the handover took place, the property would belong to the court and Su Wan would not be able to get involved.
However, those people were all selected by her personally, and they have worked diligently over the years. She made a promise to them and she cannot go back on her word. Now she just changed their boss.
Working for the court is equivalent to having a job, right? The end of the universe is the job.
Before this, Su Wan had fulfilled his promise to Mangzhong and the others to obtain the documents for their denaturalization.
They were the first group of people he bought and had been with him the longest. The six of them had been given documents to deregister before coming to Kyoto.
They have all started their own families over the years and have become good citizens after leaving Yuyan Hall. They should just live a down-to-earth life from now on.
As for my uncle, he is still the manager of Yuyan Tang Xiangzhou workshop, but the boss has changed to the imperial court.
The next day, the imperial merchant from the court arrived. Su Wan handed him a large pile of documents and asked him to review them slowly and then send people to various places to hand them over.
Su Wan doesn't have to do anything anyway.
He did something big in silence, and Jiang Yu also knew about it. Such a big thing would spread quickly in Kyoto, let alone the Duke of Jiang's Mansion?
After Jiang Yu heard this, he couldn't help laughing. He was very proud.
His girl is so outstanding. She gets everything she wants with her own ability. He said why she had to establish private property in the first place. It turns out that she was waiting here.
It has been three days since Meilin and Jiang Yu parted ways. Jiang Yu wanted to see her, so he sent a letter to the Su Mansion, but there was no response. He didn't know why.
He is going to Zhongzhou soon, and before that he still wants to see Su Wan.
He had no choice but to take a different approach since there was no response from the Su Mansion.
