Chen Shi and the other two waited for a full hour.
It was getting late, but the three officials showed no intention of leaving get off work.
Yan Shidao and the other two finally finished talking. Bi Dong left, but Dong Kangping stayed because the next matter concerned the Ministry of Revenue.
Master Yan then made a pot of tea and looked at the three clan leaders with a smile.
"I won't hide it from you now. All the properties you have are the work of His Majesty."
Chen Shi and the other two were suddenly shocked... Of course, this His Majesty was referring to Fu Xiaoguan, who was thousands of miles away in Guanyun City, but he actually set up a game in Jinling's stocks!
"It was His Majesty's will that you be invited here. I believe you are all well aware of the current situation. Let me advise you once again... do not play those petty tricks in front of His Majesty. No one in the world can deceive His Majesty."
Yan Shidao poured them a cup of tea, and Lu Feng was the first to speak, "I, I will never dare to have second thoughts about Your Majesty again!"
Chen Shi and Zhou Xun also hurriedly bowed and saluted, "We will never dare to have any second thoughts about Your Majesty again."
Yan Shidao raised his eyebrows and said, "It doesn't matter whether you have second thoughts about His Majesty or not. Listen carefully to what I am going to do next."
Yan Shidao's expression darkened, and he spoke in a serious tone, "Your former properties are still under your care, but... remember, they now belong to His Majesty. His Majesty means that 20% of the profits from these properties belong to you. The accounting will be handled by someone sent by Minister Dong of the Ministry of Revenue."
"All you have to do is produce and sell. His Majesty means he doesn't care about the process, but he wants to see the results at the end of each year... If you don't do a good job, I'm afraid, I'm afraid replacing someone in charge is a small matter. The most important thing is not to endanger your lives!"
The three of them knelt down with a thud, "We are willing. We will definitely take care of these businesses for Your Majesty!"
"This Governor has faith in your abilities. From now on... serve His Majesty well. Our Majesty is kind-hearted. Otherwise... I would have chopped off the heads of your entire clan long ago!"
"That's all. You can move freely tomorrow. Keep your people under control, especially your direct relatives. Times have changed. It's not easy to be a playboy! Go ahead."
The three of them then bowed and withdrew, feeling relieved. After hearing these words, they understood the emperor's intention.
A 20% profit is actually quite generous. In this way, the family members do not have to disperse. They can continue to work in these workshops and earn money.
This is their main business, and they are familiar with it, and it also avoids the trouble and risks of doing other businesses.
"Your Majesty... We are so sorry, Your Majesty!"
"So we have to do things well from now on!"
"I'm going to send those bastards at home to the mines before they cause me any trouble in Jinling..."
…
…
As the secondary capital of Daxia, the imperial palace in Jinling City did not change its nature.
Yu Wenjun, Dong Shulan and Yan Xiaolou returned, and according to the rules, they lived in this palace.
Once the eldest princess of the Yu Dynasty, she became the eldest princess of Daxia under an order from Fu Xiaoguan - this was a bit strange, but no one who understood the relationship raised any objection.
After all, she is the Empress's aunt, and she has helped Fu Xiaoguan a lot. No matter what, she is a royal relative.
Dieyi Palace became Yu Wenyun's bedroom.
Dong Shulan originally thought it was inappropriate and was very worried that Yu Wenjun would be reminded of his past when he saw the items and be upset.
But Yu Wenjun still chose this palace because she was familiar with it and liked it very much.
In the Banyanxuan in the back garden of Dieyi Palace, Yu Wenjun, Dong Shulan, Yan Xiaolou and Yu Shurong sat together.
The chrysanthemums in the garden had already withered. In previous years, Shang Ruoshui would have cleared away the dead branches and leaves and planted other flowers and plants.
But this year, no one takes care of that chrysanthemum garden anymore.
Yu Baibai, Shang Ruoshui and Yu Wendao had been buried seven days earlier in the imperial mausoleum of the old dynasty.
After going to the imperial mausoleum to hold the seventh day of mourning today, Yu Wenjun felt a little tired.
There were no more tears on her face, and of course she had long since stopped smiling.
This was a result she didn't want to see, but she had to face it.
Yu Shurong looked at Yu Wenjun's pale and thin face with some worry. She sighed to herself and said, "No one is to blame for this. Wendao was planning to attack the Wu Dynasty, but my aunt had no idea at the time. By the time she found out... Wendao was already with the southern border troops."
"Wen Yun, you have to come out now. You have to understand that you are now the Queen of Da Xia. You have to understand how busy this small official will be with the new Da Xia."
"We are sitting here now, but I am afraid he is discussing national policy with the ministers."
"He once said that he deeply loved the Yu Dynasty. Auntie believes that these five Daos will be even better under his rule. Didn't your father want to create a prosperous Xuande era? Auntie believes that I can realize your father's dream."
Yu Wenjun took a deep breath and forced a smile, turning the teacup in his palm. "I've come to terms with it now. Perhaps this is fate. If he had died in that battle, I would have been buried with him. He won, and although my heart was filled with sorrow, I had no desire to die for my father, mother, or brother... This shows that he holds a greater place in my heart."
"He was the husband I chose personally. It's my duty to stay with him for the rest of my life. But this blow came too suddenly... I have to do something."
Yu Wenjun looked at Dong Shulan and asked, "Can we continue to manage our business as before?"
Dong Shulan nodded slightly, "You don't know, I have some canning factories. The factory building has been built and is currently undergoing trial production. I'm afraid the samples will be ready when we return to Guanyun City."
"That's great! I think we can't stay in the palace all the time. We should go out for a walk... Daxia's landscape is even more splendid. I'm afraid he hasn't had the time to accompany us to see it in the past few years. Why don't we go on our own?"
Dong Shulan was startled and looked at Yu Shurong, who nodded. "It's a good idea of yours, but it won't work now. Daxia is just beginning to settle down, and there will still be some unrest outside. Once we return to Guanyun City... next year, things will be mostly stable."
Yu Wenjun thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Aunt, is your Nanshan Villa business still going on?"
"Of course, how about...staying at Nanshan Villa for a while? My aunt has renovated that villa, and it looks like new."
"good!"
Yan Xiaolou thought of the slums in Jinling City. "How about... we build houses on that land and sell them? I think it would be a good idea to do something useful."
In the end, Fu Xiaoguan kept the land, and the deed was in the residence of Minister Dong.
"Okay, let's go to Nanshan Villa and plan that piece of land carefully."
