Chapter 376, East India Company
Concubine Wan smiled kindly and waved to Lin Xianyu, "Come on, come on, play two games with them for me! I'm so lucky today, they're almost losing all of them."
Lin Xianyu looked embarrassed, "Where can I play the sparrow placard?"
Concubine Dun smiled angrily and said, "The old sister just likes you and can't play. She wants to lose to us!"
Concubine Fang Huarong giggled, "That's good, come quickly, Hexiao! We can't wait!"
Lin Xianyu couldn't refuse, so he had to drive the ducks to put them on the shelves and play sparrow cards with these boring concubines. Lin Xianyu is indeed not very good at playing, but if she comes seriously, it's hard to lose.
After all, she has a sky eye, and she can see all the cards her opponent has at a glance.
But Lin Xianyu didn't want to cheat, so she lost three games in one go. Concubine Dun, Concubine Fang and Concubine Gong each won one, and they were all so happy that they couldn't stop.
Everyone is so happy that today's Sparrow Card can end.
After sending away the three concubines and concubines, Lin Xianyu sighed, "Is this kind of thing interesting?" - Anyway, she doesn't understand the fun of mahjong plaques.
Concubine Dun smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm idle."
Well, this is the retirement days for the concubines and concubines.
She has been the Concubine Xianning, and she understands it.
Concubine Dun asked someone to put away the ivory sparrow tiles on the table, and then took Lin Xianyu's soft little hand to the inner hall.
Concubine Dun asked in a low voice: "I have heard that your good mother-in-law has stuffed a pair of sisters to you, but she was forced to take it away by Prince Qing!"
Lin Xianyu was sweating for a while, and she hurriedly said, "It was not because Brother Seventeen, but because he took the initiative to give it to him."
Concubine Dun was a little unbelievable. How could anyone in this world not steal fish? Besides, He Xiao married Fengshen and Yin De, and he has indeed not been pregnant over the years. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Take it serious?"
Lin Xianyu nodded seriously, "I'm not that kind of person."
Concubine Dun then turned his mind and doubted, "Hmph, this old pious wife of Feng, dares to make things difficult for you! Humph, if she hadn't had any imperial decrees on her, I would have summoned her into the garden and set rules for her!"
In fact, according to ancient etiquette, Feng did nothing wrong with doing this.
But the ancient Concubine Dun, who was born and raised, still protected her without hesitation. This made Lin Xianyu feel warm in his heart, "Don't worry, I can still deal with this little thing."
Concubine Dun sighed: "Although you are a princess, Feng is your mother-in-law after all. If you make a fuss with her, others will not say that she is making trouble for nothing, but will only say that you are unfilial."
Lin Xianyu smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm in my opinion."
Seeing his daughter's face sweet, Concubine Dun fell back to her stomach, "If he could really treat you wholeheartedly, it would be considered as a way to live up to your kindness to protect the Niuhulu family."
As he said that, Concubine Dun snorted coldly again: "It's a pity that there is such an ungrateful wolf's biological mother who has repaid her hatred!"
Concubine Dun frowned, "I remember that Feng was also a dignified and gentle person before, why did he have such a face now?! He even bought a thin horse and wanted to be a concubine for his umbrella!"
Lin Xianyu is a very beautiful woman and is just young. If she is in an ordinary state, how can she win favor? If she wants to find a beauty who is not inferior to Aisin Gioro, she either looks at each other slowly in private or can only buy a skinny horse beauty.
These thin horses have grown up from starvation and frost and have grown up from childhood. They have some problems with their bones. Where can they be suitable for giving birth?
So Feng wants to hold a grandson secondly, and firstly, he wants to get a divorce between the couple!
Lin Xianyu said with ease: "Human hearts are easy to change."
Since Heshen died in defeat, Feng's family also fell from the clouds. In addition, Yinzhen was not Fengshen Yinde after all, and his filial piety to Feng's family was just a gesture of doing things.
Perhaps it was when Yinzhen built another house for Feng and asked her to move out of the princess's mansion, which made her resentment at that time.
Of course, Feng would not resent his son, but would only resent the unfilial princess Lin Xianyu.
A woman who has lost her husband will naturally care more about her son than before!
Such a vain is the most shameful person who is the son and daughter-in-law.
At this moment, Yinzhen was in the Emperor's Jiuzhou Qingyan Hall.
Emperor Jiaqing is no longer as majestic as the emperor in the past, but instead looks kind, "It's all a family, there is no need to be polite, just sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yinzhen got up from the ground and had no resentment about kneeling down on his nephew. After all, Yongyan was already the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Even if Aisin Jueluo Yinzhen was still alive, wouldn't he have to kneel down?
What's more, Yongyan has always treated him very well. This kind of treat is nothing to say when it comes to the old prince of the royal family.
Yinzhen sat upright on the chair beside him.
Emperor Jiaqing rubbed his eyebrows, looking a little tired, "Tianjue, I really envy you. Life is so leisurely and peaceful."
Tianjue is the face of Fengshen Yinde.
The emperor called his ministers the words "expressed" and meant to be respectful to the wise and the inferior.
Yinzhen hurriedly said, "The emperor is the emperor, and he has to work hard every day."
After a few rounds of greetings with Emperor Jiaqing, Yinzhen told Emperor Jiaqing about the East India Company and the Thirteen Foreign Affairs Tour.
Emperor Jiaqing really looked energetic, "I have heard of this East India Company. Although he was a merchant, he was licensed to operate it in India by the King of England. Later, this business came to the Qing Dynasty." As he said, Emperor Jiaqing's words were faintly cold.
When Yinzhen was happy, Qianlong stayed in the country for many years. He thought he would have to be deprived of his lips and tongues to explain clearly. Unexpectedly, Emperor Jiaqing knew this East India Company so well.
Yinzhen hurriedly said: "Now, people from the East India Company have contacted the slave and want to do business with them. But the slave thinks that this matter is very important, so I come to ask the emperor for instructions."
Emperor Jiaqing smiled and said, "It is not convenient for me to use you now, so I will not allow you to make a living and support my family. However, this East India Company is not doing ordinary business, but also related to other countries overseas. I will arrange the staff of the Regime Court and the Interior Department to discuss with you."
Yinzhen entered the palace intently, and this is what he was looking for! The East India Company did not like him, it was clearly like his identity as the emperor's brother-in-law!
The East India Company actually wanted to do business with the Qing Dynasty!
Yinzhen quickly stood up to thank him.
Emperor Jiaqing said seriously again: "It is natural to do business with the East India Company, but there is only one thing that is not allowed to enter the Qing Dynasty!"
Yinzhen was stunned and asked quickly, "I don't know what the emperor is referring to?"
"A Furong!" Emperor Jiaqing said coldly, "The East India Company must promise not to sell A Furong in the Qing Dynasty! As long as they can do this, I can increase the usual ports to ten and depose the "Anti-Battle Rules"."
Because of Emperor Qianlong's policy of closing the country, as early as the 22nd year of Qianlong, Qianlong ordered the closure of other coastal ports on the grounds that "the heavenly dynasty has abundant resources and is omnipresent, and there is no need to communicate with foreign countries." He ordered the closure of other coastal ports, leaving only one port in Guangzhou to trade abroad, and used the "Proof of Defense Rules" to restrict foreigners' activities in the Qing Dynasty.
No one knows better than Yinzhen how big the business scale of the East India Company is. Afurong is just a small-scale business of the East India Company. The East India Company sells most of cotton, silk, indigo, sodium nitrate, tea and arms.
If the opening of a business port can be opened, Jieshi can not only expand its business with the East India Company, but also do business with other foreigners. The profits here, Yinzhen, can meet them, will definitely increase several times.
Even if most of the profits here belong to Yongyan, even if he only earns a fraction of the money, it will be enough for him and Xiaoyu to spend the rest of his life!
