Chapter 7 Money, Money

……

However, this is not the time to do this. At least you have to wait until you are more familiar with the world, get in touch with the government, and gain some power. In addition, Zhao Zhe is also very interested in Wudang Mountain. Looking at Qin Yun, who was born in Wudang, he seems to be quite powerful. It is conceivable that there will be no one in Wudang Mountain who can match his strength, or even better. Second, it is impossible to say that the masters of Wudang Mountain can be used for their own purposes.

asked Qin Yun a few key questions again. Only then did I know that the Wudang faction had never asked much about mundane things. He secretly went down the mountain to wander back then, and then heard that the master sent someone down the mountain to look for him. Because he was in the rivers and lakes, he was young and vigorous, and he caused trouble several times. Afraid of the master's punishment, he escaped into the army, and was lucky enough to be selected among the imperial guards. Speaking of his master, Qin Yun's expression was gloomy, and he vaguely revealed some nostalgia for his master. It's no wonder that he grew up with his master personally from childhood to adulthood, and he naturally has deep feelings.

He also talked about his master's strength, according to Qin Yun's description. When he left the mountain, he couldn't see the depth of his master, but as he grew older and stronger, he could vaguely guess the approximate strength of his master back then. said, even now, he is far from his master's opponent. If you follow some vague classifications in the rivers and lakes, his master was already a figure who had half a foot in the realm of a grandmaster. And among the rivers and lakes, there are names and surnames, and there are only about ten people who can be called grandmasters.

Zhao Zhe was overjoyed at the moment. But there was not much joy on his face, he just sighed lightly and said, "Qin Yun, if you miss your master, I will let you take a period of vacation." You go back and have a good reunion with him. I first promoted you to a first-class guard with a sword, and gave you a holy decree. When I go back, I won't blame you anymore. ”

"Your Majesty~" Qin Yun's expression was extremely excited, and he knelt down on one knee and said: "Weichen thank you for the emperor's gift, but now he is in charge." Weichen was worried about the emperor's safety and did not dare to stay away. ”

"Qin Yun, if you are really good for me, I still hope you go back." Zhao Zhe glanced at him meaningfully, and said slowly: "I, I want to meet your master in person." ”

Qin Yun's body trembled, and he suddenly understood Zhao Zhe's words. After a little contemplation, he said: "Your Majesty, if Weichen uses eight hundred miles to expedite and travel at night." Within ten days, the master will be invited. Naturally, the rest of the people, etc., Wechen will also be persuaded as soon as possible"

"Good, good." With such a smart guard who can make me feel at ease, Zhao Zhe is naturally overjoyed. If you can convince Qin Yun's master to use it for yourself, it will be a lot more guarantee for the safety of your life. In addition, it is impossible for such a powerful person as his master to not have equally powerful friends. You can take this as an opportunity as a stepping stone to gather a group of masters for your own use.

Ten days. It is completely possible to say in the Qianqing Palace for a while, anyway, in the eyes of everyone, Zhao Zhe is just a faint king. It doesn't matter if you don't go to court or not. What's more, it is not good for those who are now unsecured to rashly enter the government system directly. After returning to the Qianqing Palace with the guards, Qin Yun received the holy decree, and after repeatedly instructing the other guards, he hurried to Wudang Mountain. Before he left, Zhao Zhe said to him from the bottom of his heart, such as it doesn't matter if you don't invite a master, the most important thing is his own safety. An emperor, if he is determined to win over people, he has a great advantage over ordinary people. The emperor personally recruited him, and no matter how many people in Wudang Mountain didn't ask about the world, it was estimated that they would not dare not come. Otherwise, it will really anger the emperor. An order to dispatch an army can completely treat Wudang Mountain as a rebellious encirclement and suppression. It's just that at this time, before Zhao Zhe completely controls the power, he will definitely not do such a thankless stupid thing. Wholeheartedly co-opting and buying is the right way.

Lying on the dragon bed with his eyes half-closed, the four maidservants and the two little eunuchs took turns to stand outside the curtain. Zhao Zhe sorted out the situation again in his mind. Today, I not only lack people I trust, but I also lack money. As an emperor, if you want to win people's hearts, you can't give money for all kinds of rewards and let people do things. I asked Qin Yun to do things just now, and I originally had to give some money. It's just that, since crossing over, although this emperor has eaten and dressed in a luxurious manner. But after searching all over my body, I couldn't find half a copper coin or a silver ticket or anything like that. Sneakily rummaged over the dragon bed, but he didn't find a single silver coin. scolded in my heart, was the emperor an idiot before? Anyway, I have to save some private money. It's not good to search in the entire Qianqing Palace. There are a lot of eunuchs and palace maids in Gain, and the emperor is rummaging around the house like a thief, what kind of system has he become?

"Little many, little many." Zhao Zhe shouted twice.

Xiao Duozi, who was waiting outside, was busy and trotted in all the way. He bent down and bowed his head and said, "The slave is here." ”

"Little Duozi, I ask you." Zhao Zhe let him sit on the bed with him, and asked casually: "If you work in this palace and serve me, how much money will you get in a year?" ”

Xiao Duozi was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and his face was colorless. hurriedly knelt at the head of the bed, kowtowed again and again: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid were wronged, and the slave and maid did not accept bribes. ”

Zhao Zhe laughed and waved his hand impatiently: "Who cares if you confiscate the money, I just ask you how much money you normally earn in a year." Besides, as long as you are loyal to me and think about me wholeheartedly. Even if I occasionally collect some extra money, I won't punish you. "This is true, most of the eunuchs are helpless at home, and they are forced to enter the palace in desperation. In this life, there is no ability and pursuit for women. Naturally, they will focus on the pursuit of money and power. If you stand in the way of their wealth, you will not dare to say anything on the surface, but how can you expect him to be loyal to you? Even if it is under control, it is not a big deal to indulge its power.

Hearing Zhao Zhe say this, Xiao Duozi's face suddenly looked much better. There was a look of gratitude on his face, and he replied in a trembling voice: "The slave and maid have the opportunity to serve the emperor because of the virtue accumulated by their ancestors. You can get ten times a month. During the New Year's holidays, you can take more. Just like last year, the slave and maid took a total of 200 yuan. ”

"Two hundred?" For this kind of money based on coherence, Zhao Zhe only knows the name, as for how much it is always worth. But it's not clear. After asking Xiao Duozi carefully, I realized that he could get 200 yuan a year, which was already a very good income. Like ordinary people in the city, they spend dozens of times a year, and they are already well-off.

Of course, Xiao Duozi's annual income is definitely more than that. The people who served the emperor did not talk about all kinds of bribes. Even the usual tips can make his income surge. As for the ordinary little eunuchs, there are much less. Listening to the little man, it varies according to different responsibilities, but most of them are dozens of times a year. The income is also a lot, and it is no wonder that many poor families will change their ways to send children into the palace, at least, people who can support their families. If you get out of the mix, your power is not low.

"If I want to reward you, what should I do?" Zhao Zhe asked casually: "I want to reward you with a hundred dollars." ”

"As long as the emperor opens Chrysostom, the slaves and maids can go to the Internal Affairs Office to receive the silver by themselves." Xiao Duozi raised his eyebrows and kowtowed again and again: "Thank you for the emperor's reward." ”

Damn, this guy really can climb up the pole. But it's normal to think about it, there are not a few little eunuchs and palace maids who dare to accept the reward indiscriminately. Once this is exposed, it will be a crime of deception, and it is possible to behead all the doors. Money, money, Zhao Zhe began to ponder, how to reward himself with millions of dollars. Otherwise, if you secretly cultivate your own power, you will always have to use money, even if you are the emperor, you can't want the horses to run again, and you don't give the horses grass, that's also a fool's dream.
