Jin Million faced his son-in-law who was laughing, and the inexplicable anger in his heart gradually subsided, but he was still puzzled.

After touching Li You back and forth a few times, he gradually understands now. Although this cheap son-in-law who fell from the sky has unusual behaviors that make people scratch their heads from time to time, making others unprepared, overwhelmed, and at a loss, it is by no means useless. Behind these actions, there is often a deep meaning like a fog of one kind or another.

In fact, Li You just wanted to pay some dispensable minimum price, in exchange for the Xin Du family controlled by Yu Niangzi to continue to use the system controlled by Jin Million to traffic in illicit salt, so that he would not take all the effort to occupy a useless empty shell.

He knows that he is bound to win, and his father-in-law will definitely be able to see it, and he will inevitably take advantage of it, which is the surname of a self-made successful person. However, Master Li is more and more disgusted with being controlled by others, so he has to come up with something new to distort his father-in-law's mind in order to gain the initiative.

Having said that, why did Jin Million get angry when he heard that Li You had tied his daughter with the draft? Why would many people prefer to get married in a hurry rather than send their daughters to the draft?

There are probably three reasons, one is that there is little hope like buying a lottery ticket, so many people toss for a long time to choose a queen, and maybe two or three concubines. Ordinary people are used to being powerless and powerless, who dares to expect such a good thing.

The second is that the delicate and beautiful weak woman went to the capital, and who knows what accidents will happen if she is helpless? In case there are three long and two short things gone, don't you feel distressed to death.

The third is that if you are not selected and sent home, it is okay, being able to participate in the draft can be regarded as a kind of recognition and glory, and you can count on recruiting a good son-in-law. But I am afraid that the court will leave the unsuccessful show girls in the palace as palace maids, that is, life and death will be separated from the dark. I have to say that this possibility is too big now, especially since there have been no large-scale new palace maids in the palace for more than ten years.

The concern of the golden million is nothing more than that, although it is impossible to have no money, but it is not omnipotent to have money.

Seeing that the other party had calmed down, Li You stopped smiling and said, "Don't be annoyed, uncle! What is the third sister calling? Su Niang? The four levels of the draft, the primary selection, the second selection, the third selection, and the final selection, I will ensure that she enters the final selection safely, and walks in front of the Queen Mother and her old man, and then returns to her hometown safely? ”

The primary selection is a draft of the draft, and a batch of people from all over the country are sent to Beijing; The second selection is a simple screening of the palace internal supervisor according to appearance, posture, and conversation; The third election is that the eldest princess of Guide led the old palace maid to carefully select a small number of final candidates; The fourth election is that the queen mother picks out the queen candidate from the final candidates, and may also pick out two or three concubines to enrich the harem of the Son of Heaven.

Among them, there are no more than one or twenty women who can enter the final selection stage and be led to the Queen Mother, all of whom are women with a thousand-in-a-thousand appearance and temperament.

To be able to enter this list is a great honor in itself, even if you can't be selected as a queen or concubine, you can be released back to your hometown after being rewarded by the royal family, and you will be worth a hundred times and your family will shine, just like a scholar who has won the emperor's list, and those who want to hire people will have to break through the threshold.

That's a woman who has fought her way out of the encirclement from countless women of the same age in the world, and is at the same level as the queen, and people at the time recognized this.

Li You doesn't have the ability to decide on the choice of concubine, and as a civil official, he doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Son of Heaven's harem. But saying hello to the eldest princess and going through her back door, just to send a certain girl to the final selection stage to accompany the prince to study in the name of a child, it can still be done. Anyway, there is no fixed number of finalists, one more, no more, no less, for the eldest princess, it is a trivial matter.

For any family, the daughter is on the same level as the queen of the heavenly family, this is the most precious honor. Jin Million was not calm, the county test, the Du family tragedy, the salt class and everything were thrown out of the clouds, and asked in disbelief: "Can you ensure that Su Niang enters the final selection?" ”

With so much silver as a million, it's no longer the top priority. Talking about profit is just a means of interacting with others, and he doesn't have a son, so the gold million is not much for the silver itself, and tens of thousands of dollars or tens of thousands of dollars can't affect him.

The reason why Jin Million often talks about things with silver, such as running over today to negotiate conditions with Li You with salt class silver, is because others are still very interested in cheesy silver, and silver is a prop to show his status, and this role is like a black gauze hat to Li You.

All in all, in the four words of glory and wealth, there is no shortage of wealth and nobility in the golden million, but what is lacking is all kinds of glory and all kinds of reputation. Zi said, food and clothing are sufficient to know honor and disgrace, and Jin Yuanwai is at this stage.

If there is any jinshi, filial son, and festival woman in his family, Jin Million will definitely spare no money to build the most gorgeous and magnificent archway in the world, but unfortunately there is no one so far. Jin Million also announced in the family that whoever can be promoted to the Jinshi can inherit the family property under his name, but so far, there is still none. There are a few readers he sponsors, but none of them are surnamed Jin. After all, the golden million has only been broken out for more than ten years, and some of the background is in a hurry.

Jin Million's question was filled with strong suspicion, but Li You was unimpressed. After observing his words and feelings, he knew that Mr. Jin was really tempted, and the bait he threw really had a strong temptation for him. Previously, he was worried that Jin Million's realm of being a human being was too low, and he didn't care about it at all, so he wasted his thoughts on Niu playing the piano.

Li You replied lightly: "When the draft Qin sent Wu Gonggong to Yangzhou Mansion, I will let him live in your house and ask him to come, you should always believe it." ”

continued to seduce: "You don't have a son, it's not bad to have a daughter to shine on the lintel." Besides, if Su Niang can go through the Cisheng Palace to be selected, she will definitely be hot after returning to her hometown, and she can choose a good family to marry in the future, maybe the well-dressed children of the Jiangzuo clan will also come to the door to ask for marriage, which will also be of great benefit to you. ”

Jin Million stood up and walked back and forth in the flower hall several times, his expression changing, as if he was making an extremely difficult decision.

This can make Li You strange, this is obviously a very simple thing. It's just that the operation of his daughter to brush up on her reputation, there is basically no risk with him as a guarantee, so there is nothing worth thinking about, what is the old man pretending to think?

However, Li You had the initiative, and he was not in a hurry, so he lowered his head and drank tea slowly.

Jin Million finally re-established himself, stood in front of Li You, and said domineeringly: "I don't want to be a mother, she will return to her hometown!" ”

Li You, who prides himself on having a last resort, was shocked, the old man had the ambition to refuse this low-hanging glory? If you don't want to do it, you're just right, and it's tricky!

Jin Million took a long breath and stretched out his slap with open five fingers in front of his son-in-law, "Since you can ensure that Su Niang enters the final election, why can't you wait for Shu Ye?" Whether it's a queen or a concubine, I'm one of them! ”

Son-in-law Li was shocked again, it turned out that Uncle Jin was not without ambition, but his ambition and ambition were far greater than his expectations! This is even trickier than just now!

Jin Million waved his slap and said: "This number is also at a cost!" ”

Li You looked at the five fingers of the old man, one is about 10,000 taels? Subconsciously asked, "Fifty thousand taels?" ”

"Phew! How is it fifty thousand? It's 500,000 taels! If it's not enough, you can add more! ”

Burst! Li You, who was drinking tea to relieve his mood, couldn't help but take a sip of tea and spray it all over the sky, turning into a rain and sprinkling it all over the ground in front of him, and a few drops of the golden satin robe were also splashed.

What is the concept of 500,000 taels? Li You's hometown is known as the land of Jiangnan Anointing, and the good fertile land is calculated according to more than ten taels per mu, and 500,000 taels can buy 40,000 acres of fertile land. In the north, a few taels of silver per acre of land, 500,000 taels of land to buy more than 100,000 acres of land is no problem, and the four imperial villages of the eldest princess of Guide add up to this number.

In addition to the Susongchang area, where there is so much money and grain that it is perverted, Jiangdu County is also a large county within the normal range of the world, and the annual money and grain may be equivalent to more than 100,000 yuan. 500,000 yuan is equivalent to five or six years of money and grain taxes in Jiangdu County, a super county.

When Chen Xundao was the magistrate of Xujiang County, he wanted to build the strongest and most expensive stone embankment for 20 miles on both sides of the Xujiang River, and the calculated cost was only 80,000 taels. If you use 500,000 taels of silver to build a unilateral embankment, even if you use stones, you can continue to repair it from Yangzhou to Li You's hometown.

The salary of ordinary people in Yangzhou City is only about 20 taels a year, and 500,000 yuan is equivalent to the salary of 25,000 hired workers for a year.

The Son of Heaven is known as a wealthy person from all over the world, although the amount of money to support is huge, but the fixed expenses are also huge, whether there are 500,000 taels of living money every year, I am afraid it is difficult to say.

The idiom to describe a rich man is ten thousand family wealth, and five hundred thousand taels is dozens of thousands of family wealth... Jin Million single-handedly had to take out so much silver in one go, how could he not surprise the well-informed Li You. And Uncle Jin has another sentence, if it's not enough, you can add more!

Originally, everything was under control, and Master Li, who was extremely confident, was speechless for a long time, but now he was pushed to the point of a dilemma by the courage of Mr. Jin and 500,000 taels of silver.

500,000 taels of silver, just to buy a heavenly concubine... Originally, Li You was also worried that Jin Million was too short-sighted, unambitious, greedy for money and vulgar, so he played the piano to the cow with a calculation called bait. Only now do I know that a person who has spent more than ten years to become one of the seven giants of Lianghuai official salt and the leader of the private salt industry lacks insight and courage?

Li You began to imagine that if she smashed 500,000 taels of silver in the hands of the Queen Mother, would her old man be tempted to agree? Or smashed in the hands of the Queen Mother's two money-greedy brothers, what reason do they have not to lobby the Queen Mother? Money can be spiritual, and this is true sometimes.

Sighing, Li You put down his shelf and was embarrassed: "The matter of the concubine, the son-in-law can't do anything at all, and the old man will think about it again." ”

Jin Million was unmoved, and said heroically: "Since you said that you can be selected for the final election, I believe you in this." Since we have come to this point, we have to give it a go, how many such opportunities can people have in their lives? If you lose, you lose, you don't have to care about the money. ”

If Lord Li were a hot-blooded man, he would definitely agree, but things are not so simple, not so simple.

If he is allowed to do it, the affairs of the palace will have to rely on the eldest princess of Guide... Li You said tentatively: "If someone wants to divide your salt affairs, or make you an enemy of other merchants, will you be willing?" ”

The gold million is not easy to set, "If 500,000 taels can't be achieved, then do it and think about it." ”

It seems very simple to agree, and people who don't have any scheming may be happy with their son-in-law on the spot, but things are not as simple as ordinary people imagine, and Lord Li has a headache for this.

Let's not mention anything else, just one point, if Mr. Jin becomes a legitimate royal relative by relying on the silver like sea water, can he still suppress it in the future? Wouldn't the eldest princess's salt industry plan add variables and potential rivals?

It's not okay to agree, it's not okay not to agree, at this moment, Master Li is in a dilemma, he is really cocooned and self-bound. He was only given a pole, and the golden man climbed along the pole.

"Let's talk about the county test first," Li You sighed again.
