Chapter 51: The Dinner Party
"Give it to Nangong Lou and tell them that I want to use it tonight!"
"Nan, Nangong Lou?!"
Ji Shuangshuang didn't ask much, there was a place on the envelope, and then hurried out of the palace!
......
At dinner time.
The guests just arrived at the feast and prepared to sit down, and ten people were seated in two rows on the left and right.
Kyoto's top ten richest businessmen, rumored to be rich enough to rival the country! These ten people have different expressions, and they all have their own thoughts.
The bamboo peas are neatly arranged, and the food in the beans is very delicate.
The aroma of the wine can be smelled mellow and sweet, the chimes and golden drums have been arranged, at this time the main seat is sitting Ying Xingyao, on the far side are Qi Taifu and Fang Zheng, Cao Guohan and Yu Ye did not go to the banquet!
"Knock knock!"
Then the crowd looked at the center of the stage in the hall, and a song of red face and anger was played and sung among the Yingyan:
"Chong Guan-anger is red-faced, red-faced is not my love..... How can the wife be a big deal, the hero is helpless and amorous........"
The half-song sounded, and Ying Xingyao raised a toast at this time, calmly showing comfort:
"Everyone, this palace respects you! The palace first came to the phoenix seat, and since the exercise of imperial power, I have been busy, and I have been looking for you to win the country's heavy business! Let's talk about the national situation and talk about the national policy! I didn't expect that the state affairs were busy, and it has been delayed again and again! It's rare to be able to invite you today, and you don't have to be restrained tonight! ”
After speaking, Ying Xingyao took a small sip of the corner of her clothes, and there was a little wine in her sleeves, and Kui Bali immediately wiped it off.
The crowd also took a sip.
"You don't see, the pavilion baby is just starting to stay with mandarin ducks, and the winning girl is like a flower.... Sing Wu Gong song for you, win the southeast day and night........."
The sound of playing and singing continued, and the dancing was surrounding, but none of the ten people touched the wine, today should be the most critical moment for Ying Xingyao these days, but everyone couldn't see a trace of sadness in her expression.
On the contrary, Mrs. Qi was preoccupied.
Fang Gang didn't speak, didn't drink, and didn't listen to songs and dances!
"I'm just gossiping today!"
Ying Xingyao smiled lightly, and then 'snapped' in his hand!
At this time, a person appeared in the center of the temporary staircase built in front of him, his body was as light as a swallow, and he jumped to the center of the stage.
Look at her bending her waist to take a slight step, showing her wrists in the light yarn, her eyes are full of spring water, and the jasper dragon and phoenix hairpin is obliquely inserted on her head. The fragrant jade is tender and delicate than the flower, the finger is like cutting the root of the onion, such as containing Zhu Dan, a smile and a smile move people's souls, especially the charming color makes everyone forget where they are.
This person Cao Zizhi Cao Guifei!
The long black hair of the hibiscus in the wind is messy and beautiful in the wind, and it is suspicious that the fairy Chang'e seems to turn around at the end of the song, and the action of shooting swallows is the most beautiful of the eyebrows.
"A dance in the harem, charming love! The six-palace warbler swallow has no color! No wonder it is known as the first dancer to win big! ”
The wealthy businessmen began to drink and taste, their eyes did not leave Cao Zizhi's dancing posture, only Shen Wansi looked as usual, and did not drink a drop of wine.
The palace maids poured wine for the rich merchants, and the drinking was all based on interest, and now it seems that Cao Guifei's dancing skills have made them very interested.
A dance at the end.
Ying Xingyao raised the wine:
"Everyone knows that Cao Guifei has a dance music, even the prince of Jin Guo once loved it, and hoped to be invited to watch another song with 100,000 gold, and Cao Guifei didn't want to go!"
This sentence makes people hear the taste, 100,000 taels is the starting price!
"And in today's court, the feast is the most sincere dinner in the future! I hope you don't let down today's feast! Everyone continued to drink and listen to music. ”
After Ying Xingyao finished speaking, none of the ten people moved the full house again, and they looked at Shen Wansi at the same time.
A moment later, Shen Wansi burst out laughing!
"Hehehehehe! What price does the queen have for this dinner? ”
"Five million taels of silver!"
Ying Xingyao is no longer polite.
Kui Bali was shocked! Five million taels of silver, that's not a small amount! The big win dynasty supports the expenses of the entire dynasty for half a year.
Mrs. Qi even touched his eight-character eyebrows, even the old emperor didn't dare to borrow so much from a rich businessman at one time!
"Five million taels of silver! Hahaha! ”
Shen Wansi is laughing!
The other nine laughed too!
"Isn't the queen's treasury short of 14 million taels of silver, and borrowing 5 million taels of silver, is it enough for the queen?"
As soon as these words came out, Ying Xingyao first took the wine glass that continued to invite everyone to drink, and slapped it on the table with a heavy bang, and looked sharply at these rich businessmen who laughed at her.
Today, she learned from Mrs. Qi's investigation that the household department had owed 14 million taels of silver, and when she heard this huge amount, she was calm for half an hour, and at this time, these rich businessmen all knew, what does this mean!
The deficit of the household department has been in deficit for a long time, just like the emperor's new clothes, everyone knows about it, but she doesn't know if she wins Xingyao!
"Hahahaha! Let's let the concubine come and talk to us, the queen is too young. ”
The wealthy businessmen continued to laugh at it, and there was no deterrence from such a new dynasty.
"The treasury is the great affairs of the state, and whoever discusses the affairs of the state shall have ten rods!"
Fang Gang's voice was not loud or small, everyone could hear it just right.
The laughter of the ten people stopped at once, and they did not dare to talk about the arrears of the treasury any longer.
Or Shen Wansidao:
"We have become a leader in Didu Real Estate, and we have close access to the gates, thanks to the support of King Qian!"
Shen Wansi has also hinted that he has paid a lot of money to King Qian, and they are protected by King Qian, judging from what happened to them in the harem today, these ten wealthy businessmen deduced that Ying Xingyao would not choose to offend King Qian at this time.
"Of course, the queen is a businessman!"
Shen Wansi reminded that he clearly stated that the reason why they came to the banquet today was to see what business opportunities there were at this time, especially when the other party was in trouble, there must be a good price code.
Where does Ying Xingyao not understand, at this time, he also knows that people don't say secret words:
"Five million taels! Win the feng shui treasure of the imperial court in the imperial capital! I can mortgage it to you! But the premise is that the land is still free for the people to farm for a year! ”
Ying Xingyao didn't want to make such a choice, but the pit of the household department was too big, and she knew it too late!
"Oh, the east of the city, that's fertile land indeed! The refugees' labor can only be completed after half a year, a harvest, and the land is only worth 500,000 taels! ”
Shen Wansi said.
Without waiting for Ying Xingyao to continue, Mrs. Qi couldn't help but stand up and said angrily:
"Ridiculous! This treasure land, even if it was sold for three million taels of silver during the Emperor's time, how could it be worth only 500,000 taels now! ”
He spread his hands out, completely incredulous.
"Hehe, don't worry, Taifu, during the period of the first emperor, the world was quite peaceful, and three million taels could not be sold! But what is the period of big win now, and now I can afford the price of 500,000 taels! There are only our top ten rich businessmen! Plus it's risky to buy this land at this time! Who knows how long the new dynasty will last! ”
Shen Wansi picked up the wine glass, and he took a sip at this time, and the corners of his mouth were full of a businessman's smile.
