Chapter 142 Marrying Fan Ruoruo! Lin Wan'er is crowned Princess Yichen! (33)
Before Fan Xian submitted his memorial, the Crown Prince and Fan Jian both enthusiastically put forward their opinions.
However, after Fan Xian finished writing, he only let Chen Pingping take a look at it.
After reading it, Chen Pingping said two words with a smile.
"Very good!"
The ideas in his memorial are similar to those in the original drama.
He believed that for so many years, the Ming family had been the only dominant family in Jiangnan, and other merchants had no chance of making any progress.
The Ming family is rich enough to rival a country. They have run Jiangnan into an iron bucket, and even the Inspection Bureau dares to confront them.
Fan Xian believed that the three major districts were a treasure trove. Even if the Ming family was replaced, other families guarding the three major districts would still become the next Ming family.
Therefore, his idea is to release all the confidential technologies in the internal warehouse to the public, and merchants who want to use them will pay intellectual property royalties.
He believed that this would enable the world to progress together and share wealth with the people.
This castle in the air is not feasible in this era.
More importantly, it is not in the interests of the royal family.
Dongyi City and Northern Qi are still there. If all these technologies are released, it will seriously damage the interests of Qing Kingdom.
So, after seeing it, the prince and Fan Jian couldn't help but shake their heads.
Lin Wan'er's plan, although it also considered decentralized marketing, was far less radical.
Lin Wan'er suggested that the person in charge of the inner treasury should be rotated every three years and that no one person should be allowed to hold control for a long time.
Then the fourteen products were distributed among fourteen companies for marketing to prevent the emergence of a giant like Mingjia.
Following Li Changan's suggestion, Lin Wan'er specifically emphasized that the craftsmanship of the three major workshops belonged to the royal family and must be kept strictly confidential.
Both Li Changan and Lin Wan'er are members of the royal family.
No normal person would ever harm his own interests to create wealth for others.
Moreover, the world of Joy of Life is still dominated by agriculture.
If we liberalize the internal treasury technology, it will not bring wealth to the people, but will only benefit a small group of businessmen.
Emperor Qing finally made the decision, "Let's follow Wan'er's plan. For the next three years, Wan'er will be in charge of the inner treasury."
After he made the decision, he added, "Lin Wan'er is devoted to the country. She has made great contributions in rectifying the inner treasury. She will be given the title of Princess Yichen."
"Fan Xian has achieved remarkable results in punishing corruption. He has uncovered the smuggling cases of the Ming family and Dongyi City and has been awarded the title of First Class Earl."
Fan Xian's official position, Chief of the Inspection Institute, was already very high, so Emperor Qing promoted him to a higher title.
Fan Jian showed a pleased smile on his face, "I would like to thank Your Majesty on behalf of Fan Xian!"
Fan Xian’s current title is equal to that of Si Nan Bo Fan Jian.
Lin Wan'er can be in charge of the Inner Treasury for three years. For Li Changan, the Inner Treasury during these three years is no different from his own.
Just like Emperor Qing secretly sent people to the three major workshops to learn smelting and processing technology, although it was a secret order, Lin Wan'er would definitely tell Li Changan.
Li Changan was confident that within one or two years, the inner treasury and the three major workshops would belong to him forever.
Shortly after the inner treasury turmoil came to an end, Li Changan's wealth ranking finally rose to first place!
[Your wealth ranking rises to No. 1! The door to reincarnation is 60% open! ]
During this period, due to the expansion of Western Qin, Li Changan's power ranking also dropped to second place!
Because of the network that covers the whole world and the powerful Western Qin State, Li Changan's power has surpassed the Queen Mother of Northern Qi and is second only to Emperor Qing.
In the dimension of influence in the world of the heavens, Li Changan is ranked second except for martial arts and power, and has already reached the top in the other three!
August of the fifth year of the Qingli period.
A month after Li Changan returned to Kyoto from Jiangnan, he finally held a grand wedding.
In this wedding, Li Changan married both his principal wife Fan Ruoruo and his concubine Zhan Pianpian!
This matter is a huge deal in Nanqing. After all, Li Changan is the pride of Nanqing!
The city of Kyoto was as lively as a festival, with the streets deserted!
Countless people took to the streets to celebrate the wedding of His Royal Highness Prince Yong.
Now, those famous poems copied by Li Changan have been widely circulated throughout the world, and the three saints of poetry, calligraphy and painting are completely famous all over the world!
As a time traveler, Li Changan could never have imagined that weddings in this world were so complicated.
The palace was as lively as New Year's Day, with my mother, Concubine Liu Shuyan, busying around and the maids running around.
After several hours of struggle, Li Changan was finally taken care of.
A jade pendant hung on the bright red dress, and the only colors on her body were red and gold, which looked both lively and tacky.
Xiren and Qingwen looked at Li Changan with admiration, but they could only serve as his concubines and had no luck to be married by Li Changan.
"Your Highness is indeed the most handsome man in the world!"
"Your Highness is still the most talented man in the world!"
"Your Highness is also the strongest man in the world!"
……
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, so it's not surprising what they say.
Li Changan, who is always serious in front of his subordinates, can't be serious today.
After everything was tidied up, Wang Qinian also ran in dressed up.
"Your Highness, according to etiquette, the main wife should be the last one to perform, so we should go to the Taichang Temple to pick up the concubine first."
Zhan Pianpian lives in Taichang Temple, and Fan Ruoruo lives in his grandfather's house.
Although Liu Ruyu had personally looked for Fan Ruoruo many times, Fan Ruoruo was unwilling to return to the Fan Mansion.
Now on the day of her wedding, Fan Ruoruo thought of her mother and was even more reluctant to go back home to face Fan Jian.
Li Changan rode a tall horse and walked through the busy streets.
"Your Highness Prince Yong, I wish you and the princesses a long and happy marriage!"
"Your Highness Prince Yong, there is still a position for a concubine. Who is it reserved for? Do I still have a chance?"
"Your Highness has been determined to marry Miss Fan since he was a child, and now he has finally achieved his wish. He has always been loyal and devoted, and is a role model for us!"
"Your Highness! Your Highness, when will you become the crown prince?"
The last person is most likely a spy from Northern Qi. The name comes out quite smoothly. I wonder what the prince thought when he heard it.
Li Changan was somewhat speechless. It was just a marriage, but why was it treated like a parade?
Fortunately, the garrison division maintained order along the way, so there was not too much chaos.
On the balcony on the top floor of Baoyue Tower, Sang Wen stared eagerly at Li Changan who was riding a horse in the distance.
His Royal Highness Prince Yong would come to see her every few days to listen to her sing a few songs.
She had become accustomed to singing for His Highness, and she would feel very lonely if His Highness did not come for a long time.
She is Li Changan's capable subordinate and her status in Luowang is getting higher and higher.
Sang Wen knew that she was expecting something to happen, and this expectation had lasted for more than ten years.
Zhan Pianpian, who had put on a formal dress early in the morning, was fidgeting in the room.
"Will Your Highness go to pick up Miss Fan first?"
"Your Highness, will you forget me?"
"Look at my eyes, aren't they very bright? Your Highness likes my eyes the most!"
Zhan Pianpian kept asking the maid outrageous questions to hide her panic.
"Pian Pian, the king is here to pick you up!"
Hearing Li Changan's voice, Zhan Pianpian stood up suddenly, "Your Highness, you are finally here!"
She was about to run out as usual, but was stopped by two maids, made to sit upright and covered with a veil.
Li Changan took Zhan Pianpian by the hand and put her on the bridal sedan, then rushed to the residence of Fan Ruoruo's grandfather.
When the wedding party went to meet Fan Ruoruo, Fan Xian was lying in the Fan Mansion.
On his way back to Beijing, he was assassinated by a large number of assassins.
The assassins were very skilled in martial arts, and the Black Riders lost nearly 200 men, and nearly half of the six swordsmen they brought out were killed or wounded. Fan Xian was injured, but fortunately he was protected by Shadow, so the injury was not too serious.
The assassins are gangsters from Dongyi City, Northern Qi, and Southern Qing, as well as killer organizations.
Fan Xian could basically determine that this was a counterattack by Li Yunrui's Junshan Society.
Li Changan destroyed the core organization of Junshan Society, but Li Yunrui was still able to contact underworld figures and killers.
Li Yunrui went to such great lengths to kill Fan Xian, which shows how much hatred he had for Ye Qingmei.
There were a lot of people standing in front of Fan Ruoruo’s grandfather’s house.
Fan Ruoruo left the Fan Mansion and even did not stay in the Fan Mansion after getting married. Fan Jian felt a little embarrassed.
People of this era are very patriarchal, not to mention high-ranking officials like Fan Jian.
Fan Sizhe saw the wedding procession coming from afar and excitedly blocked the door.
"I've been waiting for my sister to marry His Royal Highness Prince Yong for more than ten years!"
"Today I finally got what I was waiting for!"
According to custom, if a brother-in-law blocks the door, he can receive a big red envelope.
"Congratulations on your big day, brother-in-law. I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Li Changan looked at Fan Sizhe who was blocking the door and was not surprised at all.
This kid loved to go to Prince Yong's Mansion since he was young, but Li Changan was stingy and never gave him any benefits.
Today is a good day, Li Changan winked at Wang Qinian.
Wang Qinian immediately took out a red scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Fan Sizhe.
"Master Sizhe, this is His Highness's calligraphy. Please clear the way!"
When Fan Sizhe saw the calligraphy, his eyes suddenly lit up. After so many years, he was finally able to get his hands on his brother-in-law's calligraphy.
He obediently made way for the door and then happily opened the scroll.
The painting shows a middle-aged fat man who looks very similar to Fan Sizhe, but with very short hair. He holds two bamboo boards in his left hand and a fan in his right hand.
The fat man was grinning with a big guilty smile, and next to it were five words written, "I'm your father!"
"Who is this? He looks a lot like me!"
"You look so wretched, yet you still take advantage of me!"
"What does brother-in-law mean? Do you want me to tell stories in the future?"
"No matter what my brother-in-law painted, I have my brother-in-law's seal here, and it is a masterpiece for the wedding. The starting price is 100,000 taels of silver!"
"It's a pity that mother didn't give me another sister, otherwise, I would definitely let her marry my brother-in-law!"
Li Changan walked into Fan Ruoruo's room and saw Fan Ruoruo sitting upright on the bed, wearing a red shirt with colorful dragon and phoenix embroidered on it.
Under the red veil, the noble phoenix crown and bridal robe can be faintly seen.
Fan Ruoruo was holding a scroll tightly in her arms.
Li Changan recognized it at the first sight. It was the gift Li Changan gave to Fan Ruoruo when she was six years old.
"Princess, the king is here to pick you up!"
Fan Ruoruo had been waiting nervously, and when she heard Li Changan's voice, she relaxed instantly.
"Your Highness, Ruoruo is finally going to marry you!"
Fan Ruoruo's voice was trembling a little, and her tone was filled with excitement, joy, and anticipation.
Li Changan took her hand and sent her into the bridal sedan.
The Prince Yong's Mansion was very lively today, filled with officials who came to congratulate.
Li Changan has not made friends with court officials for many years, and the wedding is a good opportunity to make friends with them.
Even Lin Ruofu and Qin Ye came. Although Fan Jian felt embarrassed, he still came.
After all, Fan Ruoruo is his biological daughter.
The Crown Prince and the Third Prince stood in the most conspicuous places. The Crown Prince had a smile on his face, but his eyes were very complicated.
Uncle Yong was too strong, much stronger than him in every aspect.
His poetry and literary talent were much better than Li Chengqian's, and his vision and means were beyond comparison.
In just over half a year, Li Changan dealt a heavy blow to Northern Qi, quickly overthrew the second in command, and gave Fan Xian a hard time in Jiangnan.
Li Chengqian discovered that whatever this uncle, Prince Yong, wanted to do, he almost always succeeded!
If Li Changan was not his father's younger brother, but his father's son, then Li Chengqian would really not have the slightest confidence to compete with him.
Fortunately, Li Changan is only the emperor's younger brother, not the prince. Thinking of this, Li Chengqian was full of confidence.
Li Changan calmly accepted the congratulations from the ministers and announced that they were all welcome to visit Hulong Villa in the future.
This is unprecedented good news!
This means that His Royal Highness Prince Yong will also have to make friends with court officials.
Now that His Royal Highness Prince Yong has the powerful Shadow Guards, he also needs to accumulate power in the court.
At the wedding, both the guests and the hosts had a great time and the whole day was lively.
The sky darkened. Li Changan and the two princesses bowed to heaven and earth. The ceremony was finally completed!
After the guests left, Li Changan came to the queen's room.
The red candles in the room illuminated the entire room.
Li Changan sat on the bed next to Fan Ruoruo, and then slowly lifted the red veil.
"Ruoruo, my princess."
Fan Ruoruo's beautiful eyes were rippling, and her beautiful face was filled with joy.
"Your Highness..."
Li Changan stared at Fan Ruoruo with burning eyes, which made her heart pound and she could not help but lower her head.
"Your Highness, the bride is thousands of miles away. Go to her tonight."
Li Changan gently helped Fan Ruoruo take off the phoenix crown and gave a light kiss on her blushing cheeks.
"In order to spend a good night with the princess, I have already taken care of Pian Pian's affairs in advance, so the princess does not need to worry."
Hearing Li Changan's words, Fan Ruoruo blinked in surprise. Her husband was really far-sighted.
At this time, Xiren and Qingwen walked into the room, "Your Highness, Princess, it's time to drink the wedding wine."
One of the two women was carrying a tray with wine utensils, and the other was carrying a wine jug.
Fan Ruoruo frowned slightly and said, "You two are His Highness' concubines, how can I let you do the work of serving others?"
Xiren smiled sweetly, "Your Highness has finally married the princess. How can we sisters trust others to do this?"
Li Changan took the wine cups, handed one to Fan Ruoruo, and picked up one for himself.
"If so, it would take ten years to get across the river together, and a hundred years to sleep on the same pillow together. Let us drink this cup to the full."
At this moment, thinking about his past and present life, Li Changan also felt a little emotional. He finally got married and started a family.
Fan Ruoruo's beautiful eyes under her willow eyebrows were as full as water. She looked at Li Changan infatuatedly, her cherry lips moving, extremely emotional.
"Husband..."
After they drank the wedding wine, Xiren and Qingwen looked at each other and said with a smile, "I wish your Highness and the Princess a long and happy marriage and a son soon."
After the two girls left, Li Changan looked at Fan Ruoruo, whose cheeks were blushing and whose hands were hidden somewhere.
"Ruoruo."
Fan Ruoruo's delicate face was as hot as fire, and her beautiful eyes trembled slightly under her willow-leaf brows.
Her curved eyelashes drooped quietly, and a sweet hum emanated from her delicate nose.
"Husband... um~"
The moon is full on Mid-Autumn Festival, and the night is quiet. In the bridal chamber, red candles are burning silently.
The wax tears flow silently in lines, the lamps crackle, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, with a pleasant and bright rhythm.
