Chapter 337 The Shareholding Issue, Conferred the Title of Prince
When Emperor Taihe thought about the value of Liuli, he couldn't convince himself not to care.
He now wants to know whether Situ Yuan’s glass factory belongs to him or to the coal mining company?
The princess smiled, as if she had been prepared for this, and said directly: "This glass factory was Yuan'er's own idea, and it actually has little to do with the coal mining company.
However, firing glass requires a lot of coal, and many people have invested in the coal mining company, so it would not be easy to leave them alone.
Therefore, Yuan'er was willing to let the coal mining company invest in coal and give the company 10% of the shares.
As for the remaining 90% of the shares, Yuan'er said that he would give 1.5% each to the Queen Mother and the Emperor's brother, and 10% each to me and the Prince Consort, so that only 40% of the shares would be left.
Yuan'er took 30% for himself and gave half to Tao'er and Yingying each.
Yuan'er said that Tao'er was his cousin Yingying and his savior, so he had to share it with them.
At the end, the eldest princess smiled helplessly, looking helpless about her son.
When Emperor Taihe and Queen Dowager Zhao heard that there was a share for them, they were immediately excited and felt pity for her.
Queen Mother Zhao directly refused: "Yuan'er is so young, it's not easy for him to come up with something. As his grandmother, how can I ask for his shares for nothing?
Tell Yuan Er to give him all my share, so he doesn't need to give me any special gifts. If his glass factory has any new and interesting things in the future, just bring some to me."
When Emperor Taihe heard Queen Mother Zhao's refusal, he couldn't just remain silent. He could only swallow his heartache and say, "Your Majesty, you are right. Yuan'er is still a child. How can I, as his uncle, take his shares for nothing?"
The eldest princess quickly said, "After all, this is Yuan'er's gift. If my brother and mother feel sorry for it, just give Yuan'er some rewards."
Emperor Taihe immediately began to think about what reward would be appropriate to give to his nephew.
At this moment, Queen Mother Zhao suddenly smiled and said, "Why not give Yuan'er the nominal title of a prince? This title cannot be inherited, and there is no fiefdom. It is just a nicer title. I think the civil and military officials at court will not object."
Emperor Taihe's eyes lit up.
This nominal title is indeed a good reward.
It was just a title, not hereditary, and without fiefdom. Even a stubborn and stubborn Sun Yue would be unable to object.
Emperor Taihe then said readily, "Then follow Mother's wishes and confer the title of Prince of Yongkang upon Yuan'er. I hope Yuan'er will be forever healthy and live a long life!"
The eldest princess quickly knelt down to express her gratitude.
Emperor Taihe personally helped her up, and then did not stay long. After talking with Queen Mother Zhao and the eldest princess for a while, he hurried to draft an edict.
The eldest princess thanked Queen Mother Zhao again, and then went to give gifts to Concubine Jiang in person.
Concubine Jiang naturally also liked the glass bottle sent by the eldest princess.
However, compared to the glass bottle, she liked the half-share that Situ Yuan gave to Yang Tao more.
Although Situ Yuan did not give her shares, he gave them to her son, which made her happier than giving them to her directly.
Because of this half share, Concubine Jiang did not think of objecting even when she heard that Emperor Taihe had conferred the title of Prince of Yongkang on Situ Yuan.
There were some officials in the court who wanted to oppose it, but after learning that Situ Yuan's title of prince would not be hereditary and he would not have any fiefdom, their opposition became less resolute.
When Xie Tang returned home from school at the palace, he was still in a daze.
He had only been Situ Yuan's study companion for a short time, and Situ Yuan was actually granted the title of Prince!
Although it's just a title, he is still a prince!
He unexpectedly transformed himself into the prince's companion!
Xie Tang walked into the house stupidly. As soon as the door was closed, he immediately let himself go and rushed inside like the wind, wanting to tell his family the good news!
However, he forgot one thing. Situ Yuan would go into the Xie residence with him every day, then go find Xie Ying and take her to the Princess's Mansion to play.
In fact, she went there to have a snack, but Xie Ying kept it a secret from her family.
So when Xie Tang let himself go and rushed out cheering, Situ Yuan was watching him from behind.
Then, Xie Tang suddenly realized it.
He turned his head stiffly and saw Situ Yuan's figure, and instantly rushed faster.
Situ Yuan: “…”
He looked at Xie Tang's fleeing back with some sympathy, thinking that this boy was a little stupid.
Xie Tang rushed all the way to find Tu Jiaojiao and Xie Ying, and immediately told them the news excitedly: "Mother! Sister! I have good news for you! His Majesty has appointed Situ Yuan as the Prince of Yongkang! I am now the Prince's companion!"
Tu Jiaojiao was extremely surprised: "Why was he suddenly given the title of Prince? Is this appropriate?"
Xie Tang quickly explained: "His title of Prince is just a title. He has no fiefdom and it cannot be inherited."
Tu Jiaojiao suddenly realized: "Oh~~~"
She was wondering why His Majesty would so casually confer the title of Prince on someone. It turned out that it was just a title.
However, this kind of title shouldn't be given lightly, right? Has Situ Yuan accomplished anything recently?
Xie Ying sat aside with a smile on her face, saying nothing.
She had discovered that her family could hear what she said in her heart, but if she didn't say it out loud and only thought about it, her family wouldn't hear it.
Situ Yuan can't do it either.
So she decided that from now on, she would be a quiet and beautiful girl.
But then Tu Jiaojiao suddenly said, "So when we meet Situ Yuan in the future, should we call him Prince? And should we pay our respects?"
Xie Ying, who had originally aspired to be a quiet and beautiful girl, immediately couldn't help herself: "There's no need for a grand ceremony. He's still so young and weak. What if his life span is shortened?"
Let her watch her family pay such a grand tribute to Situ Yuan?
Even if she had the heart to do it, would that boy dare to accept it?
Situ Yuan, who had just entered the room: "..."
He looked at Xie Ying speechlessly, then gave Tu Jiaojiao a junior's salute, which frightened Tu Jiaojiao so much that she was at a loss and quickly dodged away.
Although she had received Situ Yuan's courtesy as a junior before, his status was different now. She didn't know if she could still accept this courtesy, so she simply avoided it.
Situ Yuan noticed her discomfort and quickly explained, "Aunt Tu, don't be nervous. I'm actually still the same as before, except that I have the title of a prince.
This is your own home, you don't have to be so restrained, I am still your junior."
Tu Jiaojiao: “…”
She gave a dry laugh and quickly greeted Situ Yuan.
Seeing that she was still uncomfortable, Situ Yuan only stayed for a while before taking Xie Ying back to the Princess's Mansion next door for a snack.
When he returned to his territory and fed Xie Ying, he explained in a low voice: "What I told others was that I only gave you half of the shares of the glass factory. Don't let it slip."
Xie Ying immediately waved her hand: [Am I that stupid? ]
In fact, she owned 30% of the shares of the glass factory, the coal mining company owned 10%, and the remaining 60% belonged to Situ Yuan.
However, Situ Yuan gave away his shares, so he only had half left.
Although Xie Ying doesn't know how to burn glass, she can use her special abilities to help Situ Yuan.
Situ Yuan has been exhausted recently, and it's all thanks to her help in recuperation. Otherwise, with his weak body, he would have died long ago.
In addition to this, her Xiangxiang can also help find minerals, which is also a great contribution.
For her contribution, she only took 30% of the shares, which was already a great respect for Situ Yuan.
But it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter that she has fewer shares this time. She can still rob her fellow thieves.
Xie Ying suddenly smiled a little cunningly.
Situ Yuan's heart skipped a beat: "What do you want to do now?"
