Chapter 155: Who is so bold?
As soon as Xie Baoqing and the person sent by the British government to deliver the news left, Cao Ruyi arrived.
No matter how many times Cao Ruyi came to the starting point city, he would still sincerely admire the wealth and luxury of this place. At the same time, he was frustrated by the ruin of the Jingshi, not to mention the Jingshi, the palace could not be compared with here.
"Father-in-law Cao, it's been hard all the way!" Wang Yue said with a smile when he saw Cao Ruyi.
"How can the carriage given to me by Sihua be hard, you suddenly called me here, there must be something, right?"
Cao Ruyi has taken the benefits of Wang Yue for so long, and he hasn't done anything yet, so he always feels a little embarrassed.
Wang Yue picked up the coffee and motioned for him to taste it: "This is my freshly ground Blue Mountain coffee, how about you taste it?" β
"Well, it's sweet! My godfather and I love this thing very much, and the effect of refreshing the mind is the same as drinking tea. Cao Ruyi tasted the coffee with milk, and then said: "Sihua, don't sell Guanzi, just say something." β
Wang Yue said: "Gonggong Cao is really a warm-hearted person, I didn't make you a friend in vain." Recently, brother, I've been in trouble! Someone is fabricating accusations against me! β
"Oh, who is this who can't get along with our brothers? He actually wanted to frame the heroes of the country. Cao Ruyi said very well.
"Zhou Kui and Zhou Guozhang, their government sent someone to act as an agent for the goods of our starting point city, and they had a quarrel with others. I can't get used to their arrogant faces, and they say a few heavy words, so if they have a grudge, they will put me to death! Wang Yue said in a victim's tone.
The cause of the incident seems to be indeed because of this, and then it seems that Wang Yue favored the Chengguo family.
When Cao Ruyi heard it, it was indeed a bit excessive, because this matter was going to frame Zhongliang, and he couldn't see it.
"Sihua and I will talk about the situation in detail, and we will go into detail together." Cao Ruyi asked.
He didn't want Wang Yue to fall, Wang Yue fell, where could he find such a big cash cow.
Wang Yue said what happened, and he didn't do much about it, he just didn't give Zhou Kui face.
"Sihua's young and vigorous temperament must be changed, otherwise he will suffer. The water in this Jingshi is very deep, and if you are not careful, you don't know who you have offended. You haven't been in Beijing for a long time, you have to think twice before you do anything, so you can be perfect! What's more, you are such a big business? If it weren't for your meritorious service to the country and the son-in-law of the British duke, I don't know how many people would want to beat you! Cao Ruyi taught earnestly.
Wang Yue said sincerely: "I will keep Gonggong Cao's reminder in my heart, and I will pay attention to my words and deeds in the future." β
Cao Ruyi nodded and said, "But only my godfather can do something about this matter, and I will tell him the old man for you." β
"Then thank you Gonggong Cao for speaking up for me." Wang Yue said happily.
Cao Ruyi smiled and said, "Who is with whom of our brothers, do you say yes?" β
Wang Yue laughed and said, "I didn't make the wrong friend!" But friends are friends, rules are rules. I prepared 10,000 taels of silver for Mr. Cao, and 3,000 taels for Mr. Cao, and I hope to smile! β
When Cao Ruyi heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Oh, Sihua is always so polite, what a good brother!" β
As he spoke, he came over again and hugged Wang Yue's shoulder.
Wang Yue quietly avoided the side.
Cao Ruyi had to sit back in embarrassment, he remembered that Wang Yue was not good at this mouthful, he was too excited just now.
Wang Yue smiled and said, "Gonggong Cao, don't be polite to me." By the way, what do you think of my dΓ©cor here? β
Cao Ruyi looked at Wang Yue's new office, which was actually the reception room on the first floor of the city government, which Wang Yue used temporarily, with the same modern dΓ©cor. Furnished with 100 by 100 white patterned floor tiles, plastic sprayed walls, large glass windows, floor-to-ceiling curtains, and simple and straightforward modern office furniture.
It will take another three or four months for all the facilities of the entire city hall to be installed.
"Bright, neat, luxurious, Sihua will really enjoy it!" Cao Ruyi said enviously.
Wang Yue said: "You see that I have arranged such a study for the emperor, what do you think?" β
Emperor Chongzhen worked too hard, no matter how many mistakes he made, this kind of work attitude was admirable, so Wang Yue really wanted to express it.
Cao Ruyi stood up from the sofa at once, took a turn in the room, and said happily: "Sihua's intention is very good, the emperor will definitely be happy!" β
"Okay, that's it." Wang Yue said.
Cao Huachun heard his godson talk about Wang Yue, and said with a smile: "Zhou Guozhang This is a personal vendetta of the communiquΓ©, and I will say it for Wang Yue in the emperor's place." β
According to Wang Yue's meritorious deeds, with Cao Huachun's understanding of Chongzhen, the emperor will not easily touch him. If Wang Yue clicks, who will help the emperor resist Jiannu? If you just make a meritorious service, you will kill the hero, and it will also chill people's hearts. Unless it's a crime of rebellion! Therefore, once Zhou Guozhang's personal grievances are exposed, they will not be on the table.
Chongzhen has been in a good mood recently, Jiannu has not come to Koubian again, and there has been no urgent military report on the Shanhaiguan front for several months. Under the siege and interception of Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, the momentum of the Liukou is not as good as before.
In addition to the fact that there are still droughts and insect plagues in various places, but there is no comparison with Jiannu and Liukou.
"Otomo, has the dividend of the material company been calculated this month? How much can I share? β
Chongzhen is now often concerned about his income. What kind of material company did Wang Yue made turned out to be a big income for his internal money. The first month paid a dividend of 6,000 taels, and the second month earned 12,000. Truly a man sits at home, and wealth comes from heaven.
Seeing that the emperor asked about this, Cao Huachun smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave has been helping you ask, according to the prediction of the material company, your income this month is not less than 15,000 taels." β
"Oh?" Chongzhen said with a smile: "It's gone up again, which shows that the highway is not slow." β
Cao Huachun nodded and said, "It's indeed as the emperor said!" Then he sighed and said, "But I heard that this road seems to be unrepairable, but it's a pity, it's a pity!" β
Chongzhen was shocked: "Why is this? Could it be that Wang Yue has no money? β
This Nima has just tasted the sweetness, and it is going to be gone?
Cao Huachun sighed and said, "How can he, Wang Yue, be short of money? It's just that he accidentally offended the powerful, and people are fabricating accusations to punish him to death! β
Chongzhen said angrily when he heard this: "Who is so bold? Dare to frame Zhongliang! β
No matter how rich Wang Yue was, Chongzhen didn't even think about encroaching on his property. Otherwise, it would not be in history, seeing that the city was about to be broken, and he would have to put down the emperor's shelf, and beg the Manchu ministers of civil and military affairs to borrow money with tears. To ordinary people, Jinyiwei and Dongchang have long been ordered to rob it.
