Chapter 179: Pingwangfu Watching a Play
Three days later, the Pingwang Mansion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Uncle Ping, I'm here to eat."
As soon as Zhu Xu entered the door, his voice seemed to cover the entire Pingwang Mansion.
King Ping had a big belly, ran out with a cautious and happy face, and said with a smile: "Xu'er, you are a rare guest, come, come quickly." Saying this, he glanced at the two attendants beside Zhu Xu, and his smile was a little relaxed.
Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Uncle Huang doesn't need to be polite, call out the drama troupe in your house, let's listen to the drama today, just listen to "Dingjun Mountain". ”
King Ping was stunned, pressed his hands on his belt, glanced around, and whispered as he walked in: "Xu'er, I carried the black pot for you last time, you can't continue to harm me this time." ”
Zhu Xu suddenly stopped, stopped and glared and said: "Uncle Huang, let's talk about it, you say, your house is in charge of private occupation of people's land, did I settle it?" You offended King Lu, did I come forward to make peace, did I directly pay 50,000 taels of silver for the renovation of your mansion, I just asked you to give a discount......"
When King Ping heard this, he hurriedly smiled and took Zhu Xu's hand and said, "Yes, yes, I said it wrong, listen to the play." ”
"That's pretty much it."
Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back, just like in his own home, commanding the people of King Ping's mansion, cleaning up this and that, and then sitting with King Ping in the courtyard, watching the singing stage set up in the courtyard.
King Ping sat there, his body moving around, and finally he couldn't help but say, "Xu'er, tell me, what are you going to do today?" ”
"Watch the show." Zhu Xu held the dates in his hand and stuffed them into his mouth leisurely.
King Ping looked at Zhu Xu, struggled for a while, and said, "Xu'er, just say it directly, otherwise I won't be able to watch today's play." ”
Zhu Xu turned his head to look at him, and when he saw that he was really worried, he smiled and said, "Uncle Huang, don't worry, it's a small matter." ”
King Ping saw that the stage had been set up, and said more and more anxiously: "Xu'er, just tell me the truth, I really can't stand it." ”
Zhu Xu chewed the candied fruit in his mouth, and waved his hand behind him calmly.
Behind him, a man in his early thirties bowed slightly to King Ping and said, "Slave King Chengen, meet His Royal Highness King Ping." ”
King Ping was stunned for a moment, moved his body to look back, glanced at it, and then turned his head to look at Zhu Xu and said, "Xu'er, he, I remember that he is not from your palace, right?" ”
Without waiting for Zhu Xu to speak, Wang Chengen said: "His Royal Highness King Huiping, the slave maid is the general manager of the palace of King Xin. ”
King Ping looked startled, looked at Wang Chengen and then at Zhu Xu, pointed at Wang Chengen and said, "Xu'er, King Xin, you, you ......"
Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and said, "Uncle Huang wants to say that King Xin is already like this, why am I still mixed with him?" ”
King Ping nodded a little embarrassed, King Xin colluded with Wei Zhongxian to plot misdeeds, this is known to the whole Ming Dynasty, although in the end the emperor for the sake of 'brothers, friends and brothers', this matter was handled coldly, but after all, the stakes were too big, no one was willing to pay attention to King Xin, King Yiping heard that Wang Chengen was a person who believed in the king, and he was a little frightened after being surprised.
Zhu Xu threw another candied fruit in his mouth and said, "On Chinese New Year's Eve, it was the imperial brother, the imperial sister-in-law, the royal brother, me, the four of us spent together." ”
King Ping listened to Zhu Xu's words and pondered carefully: "In other words, the emperor, in fact, does not believe in the king...... Have that in mind? ”
Zhu Xu looked at the stage and smiled without saying a word.
King Ping nodded knowingly, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and began to look at the stage with a smile. After a while, he turned his head to look at Zhu Xu and said, "No, then you brought him to me today to ......."
Zhu Xu looked at the stage, the little girl was in good shape, and her voice was not bad, and she didn't care about listening to King Ping's words: "Brother Xinwang is strapped in the palace, and he also wants to do some business." ”
King Ping looked at Zhu Xu and thought for a while: "Then, do you want King Xin to also participate in a share?" "King Ping also has shares in Zhu Xu's business, and he receives 20,000 silver dividends every month.
Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "No, Brother Xinwang wants to do business on his own." ”
King Ping was even more curious, and said, "King Xin does his own business, what business does he want to do?" ”
Zhu Xu saw that King Ping had finally come to the subject, moved his body to make himself more comfortable, and said: "Uncle Huang, do you know that the princes and ministers of the capital, the royal family, and even the palace, how much silver do they need for food, clothing, shelter, transportation, food, drink, and Lazar every month?" ”
King Ping looked at Zhu Xu, his eyes showed a look of thought, and he said: "Ministers, even if you have twenty taels of silver every month, and the clan relatives count fifty taels of silver plus others, at least five hundred thousand taels a year." ”
Zhu Xu sighed, turned his head to look at King Ping, and said with an ambiguous smile: "Uncle Huang, in your mansion, I'm afraid that you can't beat a hundred taels every month, right?" ”
King Ping smiled a little embarrassedly and acquiesced.
Zhu Xu glanced at the stage, leaned over and said, "Uncle Huang, you said, if we provide these for them, not much for a year, at least one million taels is easy to earn, if you bring the ones outside the capital over, five million taels, do you think you can earn it?" ”
King Ping thought about it, turned his body, stretched out his hand from his sleeve, and said directly to Zhu Xu: "You can earn it, but not all of these ......"
Zhu Xu waved his hand and said with a strange smile, "Uncle Huang, Shangyi Superintendent, Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, don't they all want to purchase?" With the ability of the emperor's uncle, can't we take them down, let's do it ourselves? ”
King Ping looked stunned, listened to Zhu Xu's words, pondered in his heart for a while, and suddenly said: "You can take it, but what if you let the emperor know or be impeached?" ”
Zhu Xu looked at King Ping, his eyes rolled back.
King Ping immediately understood, thought about it again, leaned closer and whispered: "Such a big business, is it just the three of us?" ”
Zhu Xu chewed the candied fruit in his mouth, and said, "Uncle Huang wants to earn a stable income, then one capital will do, and the three families will share the accounts, excluding the cost, and they can also divide a small 200,000 taels a year." ”
King Ping frowned when he heard this, and said, "Just now, didn't you say five million taels?" ”
Zhu Xu's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Uncle Huang, such a big business, we can't eat it, not to mention, we still need to run errands, we can't let us show up, right?" ”
King Ping looked at Zhu Xu and paused: "Xu'er, do you mean to say that we still need to win over more people?" ”
Zhu Xu knew that if he didn't explain it thoroughly, this timid imperial uncle would not make up his mind, and continued, "Uncle Huang, do you think, how many connections do we need to take over such a big business?" Didn't Uncle Lu make amends to you before? Isn't King Fu going to enter Beijing soon? I have heard that their houses are full of silver. ”
King Ping looked at Zhu Xu, vaguely knew a little, and asked tentatively: "Xu'er, do you want me to win over these clans and do this business together?" ”
Zhu Xu didn't hide it, and said directly, "That's it, Uncle Huang, you think, we, the princes, are all over the whole country of Daming, if we can string them together and take over these businesses, not to mention five million taels a year, ten million taels are possible, and one or two million per year is less!" ”
King Ping's face moved intentionally when he heard the number, but he soon said worriedly, "Xu'er, such a big move, if the official knows about it, impeaching us for bad intentions, this is not a trivial matter?" (To be continued.) )
