Chapter 108: Calculation
Qin Dongsheng naturally came prepared, and quickly cut straight to the topic, without even asking whether his poisoned son was dead or alive.
It's a ruthless one.
Gao Shenghan narrowed his eyes slightly.
What Qin Dongsheng said was nothing more than two points. First, the Qin family's wealthy figures are willing to obey the emperor's dispatch and let the emperor call him.
This is Toucheng coming.
Before Gao Shenghan could open his mouth to mention the conditions, they sent them to the door by themselves, which made her happy and a little suspicious at the same time. I hope you don't hold back your grievances.
Her face was pale, and she was not very happy, but said: "The whole world is mine, and you are my people." I have what I need, but shouldn't the people be smeared with their livers and brains? Why do you just do things for me? Have you not been able to do things for others before? "The light in his eyes is getting colder. Gonggong Deng, who was standing beside him, glanced at her uneasily, and glared at Qin Dongsheng fiercely! White with a long head! I can't even speak!
Qin Dongsheng is worthy of being trained in the shopping mall, although his back was shocked into a cold sweat, his face was not shown at all, he immediately knelt down and knocked his head a few times, while blaming himself: "The grass people should die!" The grass people can't speak, let the emperor misunderstand, and ask the emperor to punish! After speaking, he slapped his mouth, and the crisp slap sound made people's scalp tingle.
Gao Shenghan frowned, and said unhappily: "Okay, I'll go out with a swollen face later, and teach people to think that I'm wrong with you!" ”
Qin Dongsheng immediately stopped and knelt down to thank Lord Longen. It's just that the red marks on the face won't disappear for a while. This is a real hard fight.
is ruthless to his son, and even more ruthless to himself, in case one day his wings harden and his heart is crooked, it is really a hard bone, and it is not easy to clean up.
Gao Shenghan was even more unhappy in his heart, and sighed secretly. Fortunately, she wore it on the emperor's body, otherwise she would be a grass courtier, and her knees were really not used to kneeling around, and she had to toss a rheumatism and cold leg problem when she was old.
"I understand what you mean. This is being bullied by the bottom, and I am here to complain. "If you want to participate in the business operation of the Qin family, you have to find an open and honest excuse.
Qin Dongsheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately heard the strings and knew what he meant, and nodded busily. "Yes, yes, back to the emperor, business has been sluggish recently, but the taxes are paid as usual, three or four of the ten are deducted, and there is money for everywhere, Caokou money, and the silver of the white flowers has not been covered and scattered again, and I don't know if it has been implemented......" There was a slight pause, he was Chiguoguo was giving eye medicine to the local officials, and seeing that the one above did not react, he knew that the emperor was dissatisfied with the locality, and hurriedly said, "The grass people are really worried, I am afraid that one day the silver will not be able to turnover, and the family business will be dragged down." At that time, there will be thousands of people in the Qin family, wouldn't they be displaced without food and clothing, and they can't serve the country, which will add to the emperor's worries. ”
Gao Shenghan pouted. will climb up the pole, who doesn't know that the Qin family has a fortune of more than one million, even if the whole family doesn't do anything now, it is enough for a family to eat and drink for a few lifetimes.
But she could tell something was wrong.
"Pay three or four percent of taxes?" The treasury collects only 20% of the commercial tax!
Qin Dongsheng was stunned. "I've always been handed over by this......" I feel that the atmosphere is suddenly tense, so shut up quickly!
Gao Shenghan endured it and didn't get angry and threw things.
Well, my temper has grown recently, but my self-control has also grown. This is a good phenomenon, at least no longer like the previous two months, when I saw something that was not pleasing to the eye, I wanted to pinch it to death.
She was silent, let out a long breath, and said leisurely:
"I have a lot of opportunities, and I really can't take the time to meddle in your family's affairs. Moreover, I have nothing in my hands, and I do not covet your money. ”
Qin Dongsheng didn't know what the emperor meant, and hurriedly answered: "This is such a trivial matter, why do you need the emperor to ask in person?" Just ask the emperor to send a capable person to help take care of one or two. ”
Gonggong Deng glanced at him. It's an informative one.
Gao Shenghan didn't say yes or no, but he was in a good mood, and turned to ask about another topic he cared about.
"Listen to Xiao Feng, there is a sea boat at home? Have you ever been overseas? ”
Hearing the emperor's name for his beloved son, knowing that the emperor had let this matter go for the time being, and would not pursue and care about it anymore, Qin Dongsheng felt a little calmer, and hurriedly told the truth and picked out a few interesting things about what the sailors had seen. Especially when it comes to the customs of the Sea Kingdom, it is very different from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even Gonggong Deng can listen to it.
"It seems that it is also difficult to make pocket money." Gao Shenghan knows how difficult it is for wooden boats in this era to go to sea, the farther they go, the more difficult and dangerous it becomes, it is good that half of the ten ships can be returned, and sometimes it is even more miserable when they encounter a storm and lose their money. Of course, there are military escorts to the official ships of the envoys, and most of the envoys with the national flag go along the coastline and take refuge in the harbor when they encounter storms, and the general pirates do not dare to make up their minds, and only merchant ships may not be. It can be said that those who go to the sea to conduct ocean-going trade are fighting for their lives.
Seeing that the time was about the same, Gao Shenghan waved his hand and asked Qin Dongsheng to visit his son.
Qin Dongsheng hadn't mentioned the topic he wanted to talk about the most this time, which was the formation of his own fleet. But seeing that the emperor is not very interested, thinking that the coming day will be long, as long as his son is good and waits for the emperor, he will not worry about not having the opportunity to deliver the message. Then he bowed and retreated, and was led by the little eunuch to the side room.
Seeing his son living so close to the emperor, he didn't know what it was like. is not only happy that his son has been favored, but also worried that his son will be too much to eat by the emperor. I thought that it would be good to visit a famous doctor and get more aphrodisiac drugs to replenish my son's body.
Qin Feng rested in the house, and when he learned that his father was coming to visit, he hurriedly freshened up and sat on the chair.
The father and son met and greeted, but there was nothing to say for a while.
Qin Feng's close attendant, Tang Huanning, stuffed a red envelope into the little eunuch who led the way, and pulled him out to chat. The little eunuch was also quite interesting, and followed him to the pantry to eat tea fruits with a smile. Although the emperor rested in the main hall, as long as he didn't miss the errand, Gonggong Deng turned a blind eye to most of them, and they were happy.
"Father......" When everyone was gone, Qin Feng's tears fell all of a sudden, and he quickly got up and ran to his father, pulling his father's sleeve and dropping the golden beans one by one. Speaking of which, he is also a rich son raised by Jin Jiaoyu at home, and he has never suffered hardships. When I entered the palace, I realized that the world was difficult, and it was one thing to be tossed by the emperor, and it was another thing to be squeezed by others. He is only a teenager, and sometimes he feels wronged and sad, but he has nowhere to complain.
Looking at his son's pale face and obviously emaciated figure, Qin Dongsheng felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
"It's all gone." He patted his son on the shoulder soothingly.
"You, it's too easy to think about everything. Do you think that with just a little favor, that one will be relieved? ”
