Chapter 1313: Han Banner World (3) Robbery halfway
The first naming rights of the Han Kingdom, the auction of advertising space will be placed in the parliament building, it is really because there are too many people who sign up, in Jicheng, there is no other place that can accommodate so many people, although the auction has been done before, but selling this thing, for the Han Dynasty, is still the first time, through the publicity of the Han Weekly, the people of Jicheng are looking forward to what price this thing can sell.
The result was that all the people of Jicheng, and then all the Han people's eyes almost fell to the ground, that is, after Gao Yuan knew the final result, he also accidentally dropped a good porcelain cup to the ground. It's also the first time he's seen it, it turns out that our businessmen are really rich now!
Naming rights because of the withdrawal of the three top businessmen of the Han Dynasty, the Cao family, the Mei family, and the Wu family are not only rich, but also powerful, if one of the three of them appears, others will not dare to compete with them, but these three were directly kicked out by the king, and the rest of the people are about the same, so they rely on money to speak, and finally the naming right belongs to the twelve maritime consortiums from Cangzhou, Cangzhou Ocean Voyage Company, the winning bid price is 1.02 million yuan, which is equivalent to the previous 1.02 million taels of silver.
According to the joke that Ning Xin, who secretly went to see the excitement, came back and told Gao Yuan, that is, Huo Xiaolin, the Minister of Culture and Propaganda, was directly shocked when the hammer sounded three times and the transaction was stopped.
The auction of the entire naming rights plus advertising space finally received 3.18 million yuan.
Huo Xiaolin's appearance when he entered the palace and entered Gao Yuan made Gao Yuan wonder if the Minister of Culture and Propaganda, who had made a fortune, was overjoyed and had a precursor to brain blood, his eyes were crooked with a smile, and his mouth was slanted, and he walked crookedly.
"Great joy, great joy, great joy."
"Minister Huo, you. You okay? Gao Yuan asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, what can I do?" Huo Xiaolin touched his face in surprise, could it be that a flower bloomed on his face, so that the king looked at him so solemnly. "I'm just happy, I'm very happy, not only the cost of this year's celebration has been settled. Next year, our Ministry of Culture and Propaganda can let go of their hands and feet to do a lot of work, on the way to the palace, I have a calculation, I can run a lot of schools come out, the king said that a large number of free universal literacy textbooks can also be implemented, many states and counties apply for the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda to help them run local universities, this also has money, you can pick a few states and counties that do a good job in education to implement. ”
Huo Xiaolin danced with his hands. The Qingshui Yamen Propaganda Department, which has always been a rare asset, has a lot of money. Huo Xiaolin's mind is now full of thoughts of doing a lot of work.
"Your Majesty, Minister Wang of the Ministry of Finance asks to see you." He Weiyuan strode in and said to Gao Yuan.
"Well, Wang Wuyan, what is he doing here at this time?" Gao Yuanleng paused, turned his head and glanced at Huo Xiaolin, who was still overjoyed, and suddenly understood, "Minister Huo." You're in trouble. He laughed: "Please, Minister Wang." ”
Wang Wuyan walked in with the eight-character department. Generally speaking, this God of Wealth is unhurried at any time, and it is rare to see him panic, except for that time when he was chased and beaten by Gao Yuan.
"Minister Wang, what kind of wind is blowing you to me today? Are you going to pay me? Gao Yuan looked at Wang Wuchang with a smile.
Wang Wuyan coughed dryly. A rare smile appeared on his poker face, "Your Majesty, if you support me in this matter and give you a salary for one or two years, there will be no problem at all." ”
Takato laughed, "I see. It was our Minister Huo who blew you here with this gust of wind. ”
Huo Xiaolin suddenly became vigilant, Huo Di turned his head to look at Wang Wuchang, and sneered: "Wang Wuchang, you don't beat my idea, I have a legitimate use for all this money." ”
Wang Wuyan took out a booklet from his arms, flipped through one of them seriously, handed it to Huo Xiaolin, and said unhurriedly: "According to the national decree, all government revenues should be included in financial management and the next year's expenses should be arranged according to the previous year's budget, Minister Huo, this auction is not your personal behavior, right?" It's not a personal thing, is it? Therefore, these revenues are also state revenues, which must be included in the state treasury and managed by the Ministry of Finance. ”
Huo Xiaolin's face turned green, "This money is for celebrations." You don't want to rob halfway. ”
"According to the report you called, the total amount required for the celebration is 500,000 yuan, which the king has approved, and our Ministry of Finance has also approved, but this auction has obtained a total of 3.18 million yuan, deducting the 500,000 yuan, and 2.6 million yuan, which should be handed over to the state treasury."
"Wang Wuchang!" Huo Xiaolin was annoyed and angry, "We asked for 500,000 yuan before, don't you have no money?" And now to fish for ready-made? ”
Wang Wuyan stroked his beard and said shamelessly: "I didn't have money before, but now I don't have money?" If you don't act according to the law and want to embezzle public funds, tomorrow I will go to the government hall to talk to the councilors. ”
Shaking the book of the Great Han Law in his hand, Wang Wuyan's expression was that Gao Yuan really wanted to go up and grab him by the neck and throw him out, not to mention Huo Xiaolin.
"Your Majesty." Huo Xiaolin turned his head to look at Gao Yuan, and his expression had changed from anger to the appearance of a resentful woman who had been greatly wronged.
Gao Yuan sighed, spread his hands, Wang Wuyan, this guy came to summarize the law, he was fully prepared, and he couldn't help it.
Huo Xiaolin was angry and anxious, the king was too uninteresting, for a salary of one or two years, he unceremoniously sold himself, Wang Wuyan was also shameless, in order to swallow the more than 2 million yuan, he actually openly bribed the king.
"Minister Huo, tomorrow I hope to see the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda immediately transfer the excess money to the account of the Ministry of Finance." Wang Wuyan had a victorious expression, and turned his head to look at Gao Yuan: "Your Majesty, I think this celebration can be held once a year in the future." ”
Gao Yuan coughed dryly twice, and looked sympathetically at Huo Xiaolin, whose face was suffocated, "Minister Wang, this time Minister Huo, they can also be regarded as having worked hard, so I suggest this money, you make a special fund, and the purpose is tilted towards the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda as much as possible, what do you say?" Cultural propaganda and education, this is a matter related to the great cause of our Han Dynasty! ”
"As long as the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda has sufficient reasons and a clear budget, our Ministry of Finance has always been fair and fair." Wang Wuchang's face was upright, "My lord, it's really bitter for your subordinates to be the housekeeper of this big man, a bowl of water has to be leveled, and the ministers can't sleep at night." ”
Listening to Wang Wuchang's self-description, Gao Yuan's face slowly darkened, you dog Wang Wuyan, is indeed very fair, but it is unfair to Lao Tzu, why don't you pay Lao Tzu's salary?
"Minister Wang!" Gao Yuan interrupted Wang Wuyan's words, "You said you owe me a salary earlier? ”
"Huh? Did I say it? Wang Wuyan looked surprised, and saw that Gao Yuan's face was very unsightly, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I said it, I will discuss it with a few deputy ministers when I go back, and see when I will call you." The minister took his leave, took his leave. ”
He saluted Gao Yuan, turned around, and smeared oil on the soles of his feet, looking at this appearance, Gao Yuan knew that his salary was yellow again. This king is really suffocating.
"Your Majesty!" Huo Xiaolin jumped to his feet in anger, "I will never give money to this iron rooster." ”
Gao Yuan let out a long sigh, "Your arms can't twist your thighs, Minister Huo, didn't you see that he was holding the law of the Han Dynasty?" According to the law, it is to be delivered into the treasury. ”
"Your Majesty, you are your Majesty, this is not a matter of your words." Huo Xiaolin said eagerly.
Gao Yuan's face turned pale, "Minister Huo, you are wrong, although I am the king, I will never be higher than the law of the Han Dynasty." The law is the supreme of our Han dynasty, and the king must obey the law. You are the Minister of Culture and Propaganda, and on this point, I hope you have a clear understanding that no one can be above the law, I can't, and you can't. ”
"Got it!" Huo Xiaolin hung his head, the money was not hot in his arms, so he let Wang Wuyan take it away, and the previous happiness had long since disappeared.
Looking at Huo Xiaolin's crying and mourning appearance, Gao Yuan was a little unbearable, "Regarding these things about building a school, you might as well go back and find the princess, or she can help you." ”
"Princess?" Huo Xiaolin raised his head in shock.
"Oh, that's the case, several princesses often do some good deeds, so I gave them an idea, we have so many officials in Jicheng, big gentry, their wives are nothing, aren't they also idle at home, so let a few princesses take the lead, set up a charitable fund, call on everyone to donate money, the money donated is used to do some good deeds, this school, I think it is, so you go to find the princess."
"How much money can some women come up with?" Huo Xiaolin hung his head in frustration, and as soon as he spoke, he suddenly realized that he was speechless, "King, I don't mean the princess. ”
Gao Yuan laughed, "That's not necessarily, I asked them to follow your auction, and I also got some things to auction, the time, it's set the day before the celebration, do you know what the ladies are selling?" ”
"I don't know."
"Of course you don't know, but I know, what Jing'er took out was a complete set of hand ornaments that she had worn for many years, Ning Xin was her own painting over the years, and Swallow was her scimitar, even I was searched for some things by them, and a set of personal weapons that I had used for many years was also touched by them." Gao Yuan said with a smile.
Huo Xiaolin's eyes suddenly lit up. What about the belongings of the king and princess, this was in the past, I am afraid that it is not marketable and priceless, this has to be taken out and sold, and some people do not break their heads to rob it, so what kind of charitable foundation can not get a large sum of money? Before the celebration, all the people with heads and faces in the Han Dynasty were afraid that they would all gather in Jicheng, even if it was to please the king and the princess, and everything would be sold at a sky-high price!
