Chapter 30: King Ning
In just five days, Jin's signature "barbecued mutton kebabs" appeared in a bustling street in half of West City.
Especially near the Qinlou Chu Pavilion and large and small gambling houses, there are often not one or two, but a row.
The young gang leader of the Jinsha Gang is indeed smart, and the business in these places is indeed top-notch.
Gambling houses, in particular, often stay up all night and do business all night long.
During the Qingta Temple Temple Fair, Uncle Jia Qiang's family worked so hard that they could only sell seven or eight sheep. But in front of a large gambling house, they could sell ten sheep in one day and one night!
As for brothels, after Wushan's clouds and rain, they will inevitably want to masturbate a few times to replenish their energy, and maybe they can do it again, so business is not bad...
The business near the Golden Pagoda Grotto is better than when there is a temple fair near the Qingta Temple.
However, this kind of street business will inevitably attract jealousy...
"Good boy! In just five days, the Jinsha Gang has fought more than ten battles with green-skinned gangsters from all over the place. There have been a lot of hard fights, many injuries, and almost fatalities! Some want to freeload without giving money, and some
Still want to extort money, but don’t think about the fact that the Jinsha Gang is easy to mess with? His young gang leader personally led people to pick out more than a dozen gangs, it’s so fun! It’s so fun!”
Tietou said excitedly in the Jia Family Courtyard in Wutiao Hutong of Qingta Temple.
Under the pomegranate tree, there were people sitting around a stone table.
Now they no longer need to work early in the morning and late at night, but the money they earn has increased tenfold.
Aunt Chun, who was feeding Little Shitou on the side, cursed after hearing this: "What kind of dirty seeds are there? People are doing business and beating people to death, and you are so happy? Don't forget, our family has a share in those businesses."
Tietou chuckled and said: "Auntie, let me just talk about it. If you feel sorry for yourself, just talk to the second master and I will go and help the Jinsha Gang. Now I am at home all day clearing these branches and leaves.
It’s really not satisfying.”
Aunt Chun became even more angry when she heard this, and spat: "Bah! You bastard, if you don't want to make money in peace and quiet, get out of here. Why are you thinking that my nephew is willing to make you rich? If it weren't for me and
Your mother is also familiar with me. She has asked me to take care of you several times, but I am too lazy to care about you two good guys. You can't live in Ansheng, but you want to work hard? "
Tietou was not upset after being scolded to death, and said happily: "Auntie, don't tell me, although my father died young, I will always remember his words."
Aunt Chun looked at him sideways and said, "What are you talking about? What kind of words can your father, an old man who can't beat with three sticks, say anything good?"
Tietou smiled, and the scars on his face became ferocious, which almost made Xiao Shitou cry. He said in a deep voice: "My father told me that in this life, getting gold and silver is not called luck. I just asked
He said that if you are not lucky even if you get gold or silver, then what is luck? He said that only when you follow the right person and meet someone who understands you in your life, then you are truly lucky! Hey! Here comes our luck!"
Zhu Zhu also laughed and said hehe: "After so many years of hanging out with the boats on the canal, there are some people who want us to work hard, and we are given a lot of money, but Tietou and I don't do it, just because we haven't met anyone who understands.
We are afraid that if we sell our lives to them, we will have no choice but to die. This time, it was thanks to Tieniu, Uncle Lao Shi and Aunt Chun that we met the uncle. We finally met someone who understands. We will follow the uncle.
For such a person, it is worthwhile to sacrifice one’s life.”
Tieniu, who had been giggling all the time, nodded this time, looked at the two brothers who had grown up together, and said seriously: "Brother Qiang is a good person and smart. We must listen to him more."
Tietou smiled and said, "What do you think? The uncle really didn't say anything to us. He knew that my mother was sick, so he gave me money to take her to see the doctor without saying a word. How many days have I been working? Such a good employer is so dedicated.
value."
Aunt Chun still laughed and scolded: "Then let you do some work, and you will nag and complain one by one. Now my son is saying these things, who are you trying to coax?"
Before Tietou could say anything, he saw two brothers, Jia Qiang and Jia Yun, coming out of the hanging flower door. He stopped talking and winked at Aunt Chun, begging her not to betray them.
Jia Qiang and Jia Yun came over, but seemed to have already learned about their complaints. They said to Tietou and Zhuzi: "What I ask you to do now is for us to do bigger business in the future. When the business starts,
Ten thousand meat skewer shops combined are not as good as each other. You work hard and start bit by bit, so that you can take on big responsibilities in the future."
When Tietou and Zhuzi heard this, they immediately stood up and took the order seriously.
…
Wangfu Street, Ningjun Palace.
As one of the most important princes in the clan today, Prince Ning Li Xi left the palace and founded a palace at the age of sixteen, and was granted the title of county prince at the first stage.
This is extremely rare.
Because according to the Great Yanzu system, most princes were granted the title of Duke of the country when they first opened their palaces, and later they entered the Six Ministries to study politics.
After you become familiar with the ministry, you can join politics, and you can be promoted to a prefecture king after you have made outstanding achievements and received the emperor's favor. After that, you can be promoted to a prince only after you have made great achievements.
In fact, since the founding of the Yan Kingdom, most of the princes could only remain as princes in their lifetime, relying on favor rather than merit.
There are only a handful of people who can become the Prince of Palms based on their talent.
And when Prince Ning opened his palace, he was granted the title of Prince of the County, so even if it took twenty or thirty years, he would be able to reach the title of Prince by virtue of his favor.
What's more, for Prince Ning Li Xi, who was very much loved by the Supreme Emperor, although due to his special status, he was not able to observe the government in the six ministries, he was still arranged to be the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was quite meritorious.
Coupled with his background, it can be said that he is actually the direct grandson of the Yuan Dynasty of the Tian family, which is more upright than his current status...
Therefore, everyone thought that as long as Li Xi became his prince, he would be able to enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth. No one was willing to offend him easily, not even Emperor Long'an...
Prince Ning's Mansion, side hall.
There are eight bronze python dragon ice mirrors placed in the four corners of the hall. White mist spurts out from the dragon heads, making the hall cool and refreshing.
A young man in his late teens or early twenties, dressed in a bright yellow brocade coat, sat on the main seat, holding a large porcelain cup in both hands, gently sipping the sour plum ice soup in the cup, with a look of ease on his face.
On the right side of the seat below, Feng Ziying, the son of General Shenwu, was also holding a small porcelain cup. She scooped out the ice cubes with a spoon and chewed them hard.
The young man in the bright yellow embroidered dragon and brocade coat was naturally Prince Ning Li Xi. When he saw Feng Ziying chewing happily and squeaking non-stop, without showing any dignity at all, he laughed and scolded: "You are also the son of the dignified Shenwu General.
, how can you eat like this even if you eat ice?"
After Feng Ziying swallowed the broken ice in her mouth, she laughed "hey" and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know the sufferings of the people. Although my father is a second-grade Shenwu general, he doesn't have much ability to make money. The whole family depends on that."
How many taels of silver can be left over in a year in addition to the income from the farm and the exchange of favors for a large family? Now in the capital, this ice cube, which is five feet square, costs five taels of silver per piece! Tsk, so it’s just in the capital.
Your Majesty, you can enjoy it here, but if you use it like this at home, I will give you a beating."
Prince Ning laughed loudly when he heard this, then shook his head and said: "It's interesting to say that there are many princely mansions in this city, except for a few with rich families, most of them are just empty shelves. A while ago, I also heard that the Baolinghou Mansion
Madam Yipinhou actually took her family members to make nühong at home in order to reduce purchasing expenses. This will be a disgrace for all eternity."
Feng Ziying chuckled and said: "His family is actually an exception. No other family is like that. Mainly, no one expected that the historian who was the founding hero of the country not only failed to surrender in the second generation, but also earned loyalty.
Hou Lai. However, when Emperor Shizu granted the title of hero to Yuanping, the national treasury was too short. During the reign of Emperor Taizu, he had already granted the title of hero once and emptied the national treasury. Therefore, the hero of Yuanping was inevitably a bit shabby. A Duke could only earn a year.
The additional income of a thousand taels of silver is just enough to maintain the dignity of the Duke's Mansion. The Baolinghou Mansion was originally wealthy, and the old Baolinghou Taishi Linggong had accumulated a considerable family fortune, which could be distributed to the Zhongjing Marquis Mansion.
More than half, there is not much left. The two princely houses of the Shi family are still not very harmonious about this and have made a lot of jokes. How can outsiders imagine that the noble family has reached such a state. Alas..." Talk..."
During this time, he looked at Prince Ning from time to time.
Ning Wang Li Xi was sipping the sour plum ice soup while listening to these secrets that were not secrets, and said: "I can't blame the Tian family. Not to mention the ministers' families, even the palace treasury, there is not much money. Last year.
There was a fire in the Ganlu Hall and it has not been repaired yet. Is it because of the lack of money? However, it is not appropriate for the hero's family to be in such embarrassment. After all, they are all after meritorious deeds."
After saying this, his mind was spinning, and Prince Ning suddenly asked: "Chaozong, last time you told me that you met an interesting person from Ning Guofu, how is it now?"
Hearing this, Feng Ziying placed the blue and white jade cup in her hand on a table inlaid with sapphire carved Kui dragon patterns, pursed her lips, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I came here today precisely for this person!"
