Chapter 602: It's the prince who asks you for money

Gao Jingming hurriedly stood up, bowed and saluted, waiting for Wu Jue's decree.

After Wu Jue conveyed Li Shimin's will, Gao Jingming expressed his full cooperation.

Wu Jue said: "Lord Gao, I need 8 million in cash. ”

"Ah, so many?" Gao Jingming said in surprise that such a large sum of money was one of the few one-time and largest expenses handled by the household department.

Wu Jue said: "Not only 8 million guan, but also at least more than half of the Persian silver coins. ”

Gao Jingming was even more confused, and he asked, "Your Highness, can you ask, what is the use of this money?" ”

Chang'an City is the distribution center of world trade, there are many big food merchants in the east and west cities, and the Tang Dynasty wants to send troops to Persia, so it must be strictly secrecy.

Only a very few people knew about the dispatch of troops to Persia this time, and even Cheng Yanjin, Xue Rengui and others thought that the imperial court sent troops to the Western Regions to adjust defense, and they did not know the specific task. The various client armies transferred to the Western Regions did not know what they were doing, and they did not know among themselves that there were other troops that had been transferred to the Western Regions.

Gao Jingming had already provided 500,000 yuan of special funds to the Ministry of War for this dispatch, and Wu Jue suddenly asked for so much money and a large amount of Persian silver coins, which confused him.

Wu Jue smiled and said, "Lord Gao, this money is asked for by His Royal Highness King Qi. ”

"Oh, that's fine." Hearing that it was Li You who asked for money, Gao Jingming was immediately relieved.

Gao Jingming slammed the door, no matter who asked him for money, he felt that if the money was given out, he would never be seen again, and he was as sad as if he had been cut off the flesh on his body. Every time he gave money, he would secretly scold others for being losers.

His Royal Highness King Qi is different, taking money from the household department, and there will be at least a double return every time. Gao Jingming said with a smile: "Your Highness, can you ask, when will it be returned to the household department?" ”

Wu Jue said unhappily: "Lord Gao, this is wrong for you. This is an official matter, not a prince borrowing money from the household department. ”

When Gao Jingming heard her say this, he suddenly became a little worried again. He asked, "It's not going to run out, is it?" With so much money, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the minister to raise it for a while. ”

Wu Jue saw his miser appearance and said with a smile: "The prince said, I will pay you back at least twice as much within a year, and at least 500,000 yuan of interest every year in the future." ”

"What? That's great. Your Royal Highness, let's discuss, the minister suddenly remembered, there are still some balances in the household department, can His Royal Highness King Qi ask more, so let's do it, how about I give you 12 million? "Give more, and come back more, Gao Jingming's face is full of anticipation.

"Lord Gao, the prince wants so much, I don't dare to disobey his orders." Wu Jue said with a smile.

Gao Jingming didn't succeed, and he was a little regretful, but he was also satisfied with this. He said: "The minister will not ask, the Persian silver coins you want, the household department has reserves, and they are all given to you." ”

"Lord Xie Gao, you can prepare, I will send someone to fetch it in three days."

Gao Jingming asked worriedly, "How did you transport so much money?" ”

Wu Jue smiled: "You don't have to worry about this." ”

In Chang'an in early spring, the cold was pressing, but Wu Jue's heart was hot. She is now in a hurry to finish what Li You explained, and then leave Chang'an to see Li You.

Wu Yu walked on the road, and Li You's handsome face appeared in front of him, as if he was smiling at her. Thinking of Li You's strong body, Wu Yu suddenly became a little shy, she subconsciously looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Jue quickened his pace and walked to the Vermilion Bird Gate in one breath, sweating all over his body.

Wu Jue walked out of the Suzaku Gate, got into the carriage waiting outside, and said to the coachman, "Go to the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce." ”

Chang'an Chamber of Commerce.

Since he met His Royal Highness King Qi, Jia Jinxian's life has changed dramatically, he is now not only richer, but his social status has also been greatly improved, his two sons and a daughter have become officials, and the eldest son is now a member of the Ministry of Commerce.

The current Chang'an Chamber of Commerce is a big profit and tax player in Chang'an City, and with the support of His Royal Highness King Qi behind it, basically no one dares to despise them. Only last time, Jingzhao Yin Chuheng found them some trouble under the instigation of the eldest grandson Wuji and others, and as a result, Chu Heng was dismissed and driven out of Chang'an. Since then, no one has dared to trouble them.

Jia Jinxian was originally thin and his complexion was not good, because although he was rich, he had a low social status, and in addition to business, he had to spend a lot of time and energy on dealing with the oppression of the government all day long, worrying about labor all day long, and it was difficult to get fat.

Since he became the president of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, his main focus has been on doing a good job, and he basically doesn't have to worry about dealing with the government. Over the years, the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce has made a fortune with His Royal Highness King Qi, and he is in a good mood. When his heart is wide, he is naturally fat, his face is shiny, and his stomach is bulging.

At this moment, he was in his office room, lying comfortably on a recliner, and a handsome maid was beating his legs.

"Bang bang", there was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in." Jia Jinxian closed his eyes and snorted in his mouth.

"Master, Princess Qi is here." A waiter pushed open the door and said in a hurry.

"What? Hurry, hurry up and greet. Jia Jinxian hurriedly stood up and ran towards the door.

As soon as he came to the hall, he saw that Wu Jue had already walked in.

Jia Jinxian hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Highness, why are you here in person?" If there is anything, you can give an order, and the villain will go to see you. ”

Wu Jue didn't have time to talk to him, she said as she walked: "Hurry up and call your people over, I have something important for you to do." ”

Jia Jinxian hurriedly instructed his subordinates: "Go and call all the vice presidents." ”

Wu Jue walked into the conference hall and sat down on the main seat. Jia Jinxian shouted: "Quick, bring my treasured big red robe." ”

Wu Jue said: "President Jia, don't be busy, I'll leave in a while." ”

At this time, the four vice presidents all came in, and they saluted Wu Yu one after another.

Wu Jue said: "No courtesy, everyone sit down." ”

Wu Jue said directly: "I have an important matter to be handed over to you now. ”

Jia Jinxian said on behalf of everyone: "Your Highness, please command." ”

Wu Jue said: "You are the prince's henchmen, and this time the prince will take care of your big business." ”

Everyone has followed Li You over the years, and the business has become bigger and bigger, and they all looked at Wu Yu expectantly to see how much business was handed over to them this time.

Wu Jue said: "This time it's a big business, you have to organize 5 million yuan of goods for the prince." ”

"What, 5 million?" The crowd couldn't believe their ears and all stood up at once. Including Jia Jinxian, the largest grain merchant in Chang'an, the business he had been in contact with before was only a few hundred thousand at a time. The big business of 5 million yuan made them overjoyed.

Seeing their reactions, Wu Jue was also a little proud in her heart, and she said: "Sit down, I need you to transport 2 million loads of grain, a large number of medicines, cloth, cooking oil and other materials to the Bishadu Governor's Mansion." ”

Wu Jue handed a list of supplies to Jia Jinxian and said, "You are responsible for organizing the supply of goods, whether you are buying from other places or transporting from Chang'an, you must ship them before the end of May, can you do it?" ”
