Chastity Layman

Peaceful.

As soon as Qin Lang's fleet entered the port, the princess brought people to the pier to greet her in person.

Seeing Qin Lang, the princess not only didn't blame and dissatisfy at all, but even asked for his health and caring remarks, which made Qin Lang not feel very guilty.

"I was going to come back a long time ago, but something happened and I was delayed. I'm sorry to let you stay here alone."

"Outside the male lead, inside the female lead, this is the fiefdom of our Qin family, so naturally it is also my home."

Qin Lang took the princess's hand and went back to Wei Gongbao. The merchants along the way saluted Qin Lang and the princess one after another.

"My husband is really loved here!"

"Princess is also very popular here." Qin Lang said with a smile.

After returning to the mansion, taking a shower and changing clothes, the whole person became much more energetic.

The princess clung to Qin Lang, serving tea and pouring water, and even hung up the lavender sachet that she had been doing with nothing these days for Qin Lang, and tied a jade pendant on him.

"This is a gift from my father during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Jade can keep you safe. Sanlang often runs outside and carries it with him."

The princess was concerned about Qin Lang's health, whether he was eating well outside, whether he was living safely, whether the sea was safe, and did not ask him where he was or what he was doing these days, nor did he ask about Treasure Island and other things.

"Tell Saburo that everything is fine with all the sisters at home."

Yuxiao, Anong and other concubines came to pay their respects, and Qin Lang smiled and prepared some gifts for everyone.

"This time when Sanlang comes back, he probably won't go out again for the time being, right?" the princess asked.

"Well, I will accompany you well when I come back."

That night, Qin Lang naturally wanted to stay in the princess courtyard, but unfortunately the princess said that he was inconvenient.

"But it annoys me?"

"I'm really unwell. I'll ask Yingluo Nu to accompany San Lang, or Vajra Nu, or San Lang can go to Sister Yuxiao, Sister Youhui, or Sister Anong if he wants to."

After realizing that she was on her menstrual cycle, Qin Lang chuckled.

"It's not necessary to do something to sleep together. I just want to be with you tonight, and I just want to sleep with you in my arms."

The embarrassing princess's face was full of pink, and the princess was not a newlywed girl anymore, but in the end she couldn't stand Qin Lang's affectionate words, just a few words could make her face blush.

"But according to the rules in the palace, Jianhong is not allowed to sleep with her. It's unlucky."

"How can there be such rules, we husband and wife don't pay attention to this, and besides, this is not from the palace."

"Why don't I ask the maids to accompany you? The four maids around me were all carefully selected and brought by the palace. I will call whoever you like."

"If you talk about this again, I will punish you!" Qin Lang laughed.

There are many rules in the palace, and they are also particular.

For example, although the emperor has a lot of concubines and beauties, the emperor can't favor the harem as he likes. For example, he can't go to bed after menstruation. To sleep with the emperor.

Furthermore, except for one empress, four concubines and nine concubines, who can be accepted by the emperor, the rest can only be called to the emperor's place to be lucky, and they often have to resign immediately afterward, and they can't stay overnight.

There are many rules.

Even every time the emperor visited a concubine in the harem, there was a special eunuch who was in charge of recording everything from the name and age of the lucky recipient to the date, date, and even the length of the lucky visit, etc., and kept them on file.

And if the emperor didn't want the concubine to become pregnant afterwards, he might give a bowl of soup, which is for contraception, and you can't drink it.

Only with the emperor's permission can she conceive.

And after the harem is pregnant, the servant has to produce the records for verification. If the time is not right, it will be very serious.

In short, it is about the blood of the dragon species, so there should be no carelessness.

When a daughter of a famous family gets married, she will have sisters from the same clan as concubines, let alone a maidservant. These maidservants originally slept in the same room with their masters and took care of them when the master was inconvenient.

Qin Lang glanced at the beautiful big bed. This bed was actually a dowry transported thousands of miles from Luoyang. The wood used was of course the best top-grade material. A wedding bed occupies a huge area, just like a room. They are all carved, and the curtains are also beautifully embroidered. The bedding is even more embroidered on the outside and satin on the inside, with fine silk sandwiched in the middle.

This bed is not only big, but also has steps, etc., and even comes with two accompanying beds, which are reserved for the maidservants to sleep, and even a tea table.

When the weather is cold, let the maids warm up the bed first, and then the master will sleep after warming up, and they will sleep outside the tent. If the master wakes up in the middle of the night, they will be responsible for carrying the horses, and if they want to drink water, they will pour tea. Anyway, even if they are sleeping, these personal maids will not Will be half a step away from the owner.

In fact, Qin Lang didn't like such personal maids very much. The husband and wife couldn't even whisper a little bit. Even though the princess was very comfortable with these maids, and repeatedly said that these were the most reassuring and caring people, Qin Lang was still not used to it.

In the eyes of the princess and other people in this era, the personal maids are all slaves, they are all domestic slaves raised since childhood, loyal and absolutely reliable, they are like an accessory.

"It's said that a little farewell is better than a newlywed. After a few months, there are a lot of personal things I want to say to the princess. It's better not to have anyone around."

In the evening, no matter how the princess objected, Qin Lang stayed with her for the night, and drove the two maidservants beside the big bed to the outside room. It is said that it is an outside room, but the bedroom is actually like a large suite, and they are waiting outside, so they can be there whenever they are called.

"This time I wasted a little more time on Treasure Island, which is a large barbarian island that our family discovered in the sea in recent years. There are only some uncivilized barbarians on it, but there are vast mountains and rivers, and gold mines, so now we mine over there, and farm the fields to support ourselves.”

The princess didn't seem very interested in this, "Anon brought me the family's account book before, but I didn't understand it. I only saw that our family has a lot of property, and it's like flowing water. It's really hard for Saburo."

"I don't have any hard work, it's all the hard work of the people below."

The Qin family has a large property, which is known all over the world, but how many properties the Qin family has, and the various rumors outside, in fact, few are really clear, and even the Qin family's own stewards, few can really know the details, most of them It's one piece for each tube.

Qin Lang's family business is basically based on the framework of the group, each industry is an independent set of people, vertical management, and there are boundaries between other industries, even the exchanges between the Qin family's various industries , They also strictly follow the business rules and have detailed entry and exit accounts.

For example, the Maritime Merchant Fleet takes ships from Qin’s shipyard, and it also follows the formal process, first place an order, pay a deposit in advance, then accept the ship, pay the final payment, and even basically follow the market price in terms of price. It wouldn't be said that it was all the property of the Qin family. Taking the ship directly would cause chaos, especially with such a large family property, it would be even more chaotic.

Moreover, each industry of the Qin family operates independently. According to the performance of the operation, the shopkeepers and guys in each industry enjoy different performance dividends.

In order to be able to coordinate and manage these industries from all walks of life, Qin Lang also has a board of deacons. The deacons at all levels in it are actually equivalent to the general office of Qin Lang's assistants, responsible for supervision, etc., and serve as a link between Qin Lang and the following. The role of each industry is a link between the past and the future.

But from another point of view, although the boundaries between various industries are very clear, they are all Qin family industries after all, so in the overall planning, they will still be considered comprehensively.

For example, the Qin family's merchant fleet will definitely buy the ships from the Qin family's own shipyard, and the Qin family's merchant fleet will also give priority to placing orders with the Qin family's various industries, etc.

These are all strategic partners.

The princess has roughly read the account book before, and she doesn't understand it very well, but among the people she brought, there are many professional people. After spending some time, she can basically see the comprehensiveness of the Qin family's business from the account book. , Huge in size.

For example, in mining, the Qin family is very professional and has a large scale, from gold and silver mines, to copper and iron, to sulfur, mercury, and cinnabar. Basically, the Qin family is involved in any minerals with names. From mining to smelting and processing, it can be said that the overall strength of the Qin family is among the top ten in the Tang Dynasty.

Especially the gold and silver ore, copper and iron, as well as the large pieces of charcoal and petrolatum, are even more impressive.

Among them, there are not only the exclusive operation of the Qin family, but also many partnerships, with comprehensive business varieties, strong technical reserves, and large-scale industrial scale.

From exploring gold seedlings, to mining gold, to gold processing, the entire industrial chain is complete and advanced.

In the five prefectures under Wu'an Governor's Mansion alone, the Qin family is mining more than a dozen large and small gold mines, and outside Wu'an Mansion there are also many mines in Zuoxi, Juding, Liuyi and other places.

So the Qin family is now going overseas to mine in Treasure Island, which doesn't surprise the princess. Her people also told her before that the accounts showed that the Qin family had already mined gold mines in Linyi, Liuqiu, and even the country of Wa.

"The property under my name and the staff in charge, I will officially hand it over to you Saburo in these two days."

"This is your dowry, naturally I kept it for myself."

"Marry a chicken as a chicken, and marry a dog as a dog. I married into the Qin family. Of course, these are still handed over to my husband. Originally, these are all obtained by my husband's business in the past ten years."

Qin Lang smiled and said, "Empress Wende gave me some farms, shops and money for you back then, and I said I would take care of them for you. The business has been doing well these years, but it still belongs to you."

The most important reason for the high status of women in the Tang Dynasty was that they had certain economic power. For example, women generally had a dowry. The law clearly stipulated that this dowry belonged to women’s personal property, and the husband had no right to dispose of it. . Therefore, with a dowry in hand, women can always have a good status in their husband's family, but because poor families cannot afford to buy a dowry for their daughters, it is easy to fail to marry, or to marry poorly.

A woman's dowry is generally given to her children after her death, and her husband has no inheritance rights. If he has no children, his natal brothers will even have priority in inheriting the dowry.
