Chapter 223: Turn a blind eye

Of course, with the help of Prime Minister Sun Hong, everyone is not bad, and there are a lot of industries under his hands.

It's like Gongsun Hong's brother-in-law, who is one of the best businessmen, and the money he earns every year is a massive number.

The contribution to him alone is not a small amount.

Although it is said on the surface, the ministers of the DPRK and China are not allowed to do business.

But in fact, these things are basically turned a blind eye.

It is true that the officials themselves cannot do business, but the people around them can!

As long as no one reports and exposes, there is basically no big problem.

And Gongsun Hong's family situation, for the entire Han Dynasty, is definitely not an exception.

In fact, almost every minister, has his own small treasury.

After all, you have to spend money everywhere in life, not only for yourself, but also for others.

Such a huge expense is simply not enough to rely on money and rewards.

Officials who are too simple have already starved to death early.

In the past, Tang Qi made a lot of profitable transactions, but few people were able to catch up with the hot meal, at least Gongsun Hong didn't catch up.

This time I heard the news of cement.

Those who are in business at home can't help it.

After all, now they all know that cement is not just cement, it is also related to highways!

As long as anyone can make a highway out, it is a profitable business, and they can rely on this highway to make money for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, the whole mind is alive.

Gotta get in this car!

So, he ran to annoy Gongsun Hong.

Gongsun Hong was annoyed and had no choice, and he also wanted to make some extra money, so he sent a trustworthy house slave over, and he had to consult Tang Qi about this situation.

And Tang Qi didn't ignore it.

Instead, he patiently explained.

If you want to build a highway, you naturally have to verify your financial resources first, if you don't have money, even if you are asked to be an agent, you can't build a highway!

On the contrary, it also delays everyone's time.

Therefore, Tang Qi came up with a very suitable solution, that is, bidding.

Want a highway, right?

Then go to the tender, as long as you pay a starting price, and the price is higher than other merchants, then you will naturally be able to get the agency of a highway.

On the other hand, the bidding itself is also very welcoming to giant businessmen.

Because only these people can afford the price, and at the same time can raise the price.

Gongsun Hong's family still has a lot of giant businessmen.

For Tang Qi, these are fragrant buns.

Surely the comer will not refuse!

Of course, Tang Qi also has his own little abacus in his heart.

Although the benefits of the expressway are there, the income and expenditure have not been equalized in previous years, and the money invested in the early stage cannot be earned back in a few years.

At the very least, it will take seven or eight years or even ten years.

If you are not a giant businessman, you may not be able to afford it.

In case of bankruptcy, the highway will be scrapped.

The servant sent by Prime Minister Sun Hong, after getting accurate news from Tang Qi, immediately went back to report with satisfaction.

When the news leaked out, other officials were also excited.

Shangjia, not only in Gongsun Hong's family!

They also have it at home.

Since Gongsun Hong can hit the idea of the highway, why can't they?

Therefore, in the following time, other ministers also came to Tang Qi one after another, wanting to join in the fun.

The merchant took the initiative to send it to the door, which was also one thing that Tang Qi was very happy to see.

He doesn't refuse to come, he asks for one when he comes, he asks for two, and he asks for two, and he takes it all anyway.

This time, there is no need to go out and contact the merchant by himself.

This also made Tang Qi look very happy.

At this moment, Tang Qi was sitting on the recliner and looking at the servants coming and going outside, but an idea came out of his mind unconsciously.

Will there be too many servants in his own house?

It's true......

Every time he returned to the house, the first thing Tang Qi saw was a figure shuttling around.

Is there really a need for so many people here?

The answer is definitely no.

It's just a stable marquis's mansion, how many things can be done?

Most people, at the end of the day, basically have nothing to do, and even sit idle in their rooms to sleep.

This is obviously not a good thing.

I spend so much money every month, why don't I save a little?

In the final analysis, Tang Qi is not a master who is willing to suffer.

Since there are a large number of servants, there is no need for them, so naturally they have to find a way to dismiss them.

So, Tang Qi ordered someone to bring a list of servants, intending to select a group from above, and then directly dismiss them, so that they could find another way to make a living.

As a result, the group of people selected by him all knelt in front of Tang Qi, with a handful of snot and tears, and refused to leave the Hou Ye's Mansion when they said anything.

Looking at that appearance, if Tang Qi forcibly drove them away, it is estimated that they would all have to commit suicide by throwing themselves into the river.

This time, it made Tang Qi embarrassed.

This group of goods, they're all crazy, right?

Don't let them be servants anymore, go out to be ordinary people, but still think it's hurting them?

Could it be that serving people is still addictive?

Tang Qi is not a ruthless person after all, and he can't do such a decisive thing.

Save money, since there is no way to save, then don't save, it's a big deal to make more money in the future.

Therefore, since they all refused to leave, Tang Qi didn't bother to care, tore up the list, and asked this group of servants to do what they should do.

And those servants, seeing that they didn't have to leave the Hou Ye's Mansion, immediately couldn't help but be grateful to Dade one by one, and knelt on the ground and cried, as if Tang Qi was their reborn parent.

This scene, if it were placed in other mansions, would never be seen.

But in Tang Qi's Hou Ye Mansion, it is a normal operation!

Not to mention anything else, the treatment of the Hou Yefu is there after all.

Tang Qi's requirements for servants have always been low, which is a bit outrageous.

They only need to do their part well, and as for the rest of the time, as long as there is really no work in hand, then they can use it at will.

It's okay to stay in the Hou Ye's Mansion to rest, or you can leave the Hou Ye's Mansion directly, go out to visit the door, and even sit in the courtyard and chat and eat melon seeds.

No one cared about them.

Looking at the whole Han, how many servants can there be, who are so idle?

In addition, the food treatment is also the highest standard!

Three meals a day, and meat for every meal.

After a period of time, everyone has grown white and fat, and they are very healthy.
