Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1144 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 70

However, Big Fat Ju had his own plans. He knew that Jiang Xinxin would not do something without a purpose, so this business would definitely make a lot of money. Not only were the husbands of the two princesses genuine Mongolians, but their uncle who had just made military achievements was raised by the Queen Mother who was born in Mongolia. So even if Jiang Xinxin intended to borrow their father's business talent, he did not want Prince Heng to get involved.

Big Fat Orange pondered for a moment and said, "You always have ideas. Today, you come to talk to me first for the first time, which shows that this business is very important. So I can agree to do this business with you, but you must not let Prince Heng's Mansion and Prince Chun's Mansion get involved. I think that the twelfth brother was also raised by Su Malagu. Although his relationship with Mongolia is not as close as Prince Heng's, it is better than that of other brothers."

Big Fat Ju's concerns are not wrong. Jiang Xinxin just needs Big Fat Ju to nod.

So the matter was settled. After the two princesses went back and inquired carefully with their husbands, they found out that wool cannot be sheared in winter, because sheep also need wool to keep warm in winter. They are sheared almost twice in spring and summer, and if they are not sheared, they will shed their wool on their own.

The husbands of the two princesses were not smart enough. They thought that the Qing court wanted to seize the pastures in their hands. They met and planned to inform Mongolia, but their confidants stopped them and persuaded them: "The pastures in our hands are not in a good location and not big enough. The Qing court must not be interested in them. There must be other reasons. We just have to wait."

The two smart guys were originally exiled to the Qing Dynasty because they were honest and had no one to rely on. After being persuaded like this, they really became obedient. Besides, they might not really be considering Mongolia. It was just that Mongolia did not know what the Qing Dynasty meant by this move, so they sent a few of them here to test the waters first.

When they came, Mongolia gave them a lot of gold, silver and treasures. They felt these things were too hot to handle, so they wanted to find out some information as soon as possible as a reward.

There is no spiritual energy in this world. You can still find a little bit in the deep mountains and old forests, but it is impossible to have it in places like the imperial palace. Therefore, Jiang Xinxin can't even draw talismans, and naturally has no way to control her hands.

However, she was not afraid of anyone's ulterior motives. She just gave her orders, and Jianqiu and Jiang Fuhai would naturally get things done according to her requirements.

So, Jiang Xinxin wanted to find loyal craftsmen and skillful textile workers. Jianqiu and Jiang Fuhai went out a few times and got the job done. Before the New Year, both the craftsmen and the textile workers were settled.

Then Princess Chaogui's consort Yue Xing'a and the husbands of the two princesses of the Jiubei family were also pulled over by Jiang Xinxin. Yue Xing'a was a child, and Princess Chaogui sometimes disliked him for not being able to adapt, but in her heart she was very satisfied with his honesty, so Jiang Xinxin sent him to the pastures of the two princesses of the Jiubei family's husbands to collect wool with the young people of the Tonggiya family who could be used. He had no complaints and was even happy to do things for Jiang Xinxin.

Princess Chaogui was almost married to an old man, so she was more ruthless than the two princesses of the Ninth Prince's family. After Jiang Xinxin decided to let Yue Xing'a take the young people of the Tonggiya clan who had no official positions and her two nephews-in-law to Mongolia after the New Year, she thought about it again and again and decided to follow her husband to Mongolia.

But even though Yue Xing'a agreed to this matter, she still felt unsure, so she went to Jiang Xinxin.

Jiang Xinxin strongly encouraged Princess Chaogui to go to Mongolia, "I'll make a list for you when we leave later. It's better to bring more useless things than to be without them when you need them. You are still young and in good health. It's always good to go out and see more of the world."

Princess Chaogui wanted to travel all over Mongolia, but when the time came, she felt a little timid. Seeing this, Jiang Xinxin did not try to persuade her, but just said, "You are a princess, and your status is extraordinary. When you go out, you will always get some preferential treatment along the way. It is much easier than those merchants going out to do business."

"You have read the travel books in my study room in the back before. Although it is inconvenient to be away from home, I do hope that you can see some of the scenery with your own eyes."

Big Fat Orange himself is a homebody, but he often visited Mongolia when the late emperor was alive. It’s just that Princess Chaogui was young and never made it.

When Yixiu was a concubine, she had been to the Rehe Palace and had gone hunting in even more distant places, all to take advantage of the late emperor. But later, when Rouze came into the palace, Da Pangju might have subconsciously known that Rouze was not up to par, or Da Pangju might have felt that Rouze's body could not withstand the long journey, so almost no female members of the imperial family had ever been to Mongolia.

But Big Fat Orange had been thinking about taking a trip to Mongolia since the beginning of spring. However, among his sons, only the Fourth Prince was barely worthy of mention, and his nephews were also of mixed quality. They were not like the previous emperor, who could pull out any prince to intimidate the Mongolian princes.

However, in the previous battle with Dzungar, the Qing Dynasty did not achieve much success. But the Dzungar lost Mog, who had the greatest hope of regrouping, and was replaced by an unknown Khan. Now the Qing Dynasty is in civil strife, and due to the provocation of Myanmar, it does not have the ability to conquer Dzungar in one fell swoop. But there are constant small battles on the front line, and the border with Dzungar is constantly advancing, so Mongolia must come forward to appease and deter.

In order to travel around Mongolia, Da Pangju simply took all of his brothers with him, and also brought a lot of court officials. Da Pangju himself was only skilled in archery and horse riding, but not good at riding and shooting. Among the older princes, the only one who was capable was the Fourth Prince, so Da Pangju waved his hand and took all his adult nephews with him as well.

They were going to Mongolia, and Big Fat Orange informed Jiang Xinxin immediately that she, the queen, must go, and she also planned to take Concubine Jing along, as well as all the princesses except the young Fourth Princess, so Concubine Jing had to go.

Concubine Shen came from Khorchin, Mongolia, so she had to be brought along as well, and then there was Concubine Fu and several outstanding-looking palace maids in the surrounding rooms.

Among the princes, only the Third Prince and his wife and the Fourth Prince went out together. The other princes were either too young or in poor health, so Big Fat Orange didn't dare to take them out at all.

There were also several younger concubines who went, such as Concubine He and Princess Chaogui's mother, Concubine Chen.

Before leaving, Fatty Ju promoted Concubine Shen to concubine, and asked Concubine Qi to assist Concubine Shen in managing the affairs of the harem. He also asked several maids of the Fang generation in the imperial court to assist, and also invited the Imperial Concubine Dowager to come out, asking Concubine Qi and Concubine Shen to ask for advice if they had any problems.

Yue Xing'a is indeed a recognized honest man. He only talked about the task assigned by Jiang Xinxin with his wife Princess Chaogui, who was also aware of the situation. He didn't even reveal a word to his aunt, the Imperial Noble Consort in the palace. So the Imperial Noble Consort thought that her nephew was able to go to Mongolia with her because of Princess Chaogui, and she turned around and sent a gift to express her gratitude to Concubine Chen.

Concubine Chen knew that the Imperial Concubine must have discovered that Princess Chaogui brought some convenience to Tong Jia. Although she didn't know what the convenience was, it didn't stop her from accepting the gift.
