Chapter 372: Seeking the Skin of the Tiger
What does it mean to live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain? That's it.
Two people who have deep fears of each other, the slightest hint of wind and grass on the other side will cause them to be alert, and even react violently.
Douxinyan is very tired, especially when everyone thinks that the other party is not a good stubble, and it is even more tiring to fight Xinyan.
"Your Majesty wants to build a leopard house, it is said that the inner treasury is empty, and Gonggong Liu should be very short of silver, right?"
Liu Jin still looked vigilant: "Who said that the inner library is empty?" There was clearly silver in the inner treasury. β
Qin Kan sighed: "Why does Grandpa Liu bother me? I hold a brocade guard, don't I know if there is silver in the inner library? His Majesty wants to build a leopard house, which costs more than one million, I don't know how Gonggong Liu plans to come up with this money? β
Liu Jin's face was gloomy and he was silent.
Qin Kan smiled leisurely and said: "Now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all opposed to the construction of a leopard house under His Majesty, and the persuasion is sparse into hundreds of thousands of master of ceremonies, and His Majesty has a young man's temperament, and the things that have made up his mind will never change, the leopard room is already a certainty, and His Majesty is betting with the ministers when this breath, if one day suddenly reach out to you Liu Gonggong or Ma Gonggong to ask for silver, and you not only can't take out the silver, but you don't even have a word about the whereabouts of the silver in the inner treasury, how can Liu Gonggong be right?" β
Liu Jin said in a deep voice: "What does Master Hou want to say, you might as well say it bluntly." β
"Is Grandpa Liu interested in making a deal with me?"
"What kind of deal?"
"I'll get you a million taels of silver."
Liu Jin's expression became more and more vigilant: "What does the miscellaneous family have to pay?" β
Qin Kan said with a smile: "The left capital of the imperial history and the right squire of the military department, in addition." There is also a black pot. β
"What does the black pot say?"
Qin Kan sighed: "There has never been a spring breeze in the world, sometimes it is inevitable to take some less gentle means, at that time, it will inevitably cause some officials to participate in the impeachment, I can help with the silver, but the bad reputation will have to be borne by Liu Gonggong himself, after all, we are not yet ripe to the point where we carry the black pot without distinguishing each other, what do you say?" β
Liu Jin sneered: "Are you a miscellaneous fool? Wouldn't the miscellaneous family themselves do such things as murder, arson, rape, and plunder? Do you need to owe you a favor? β
Qin Kan smiled and said: "Gonggong Liu underestimates me too much, if you rely on murder and plundering silver." Not to mention how the world's mouths are blocked. Can you get a million taels of silver from looting in a short time? β
Liu Jin was speechless.
Qin Kan was not wrong, even if he couldn't rob the world without a lot, he couldn't grab a million taels of silver in a short period of time, although there were many rich people in this world. Not all of them can be touched.
"Master Hou. What the hell are you thinking? Liu Jin asked with deep vigilance.
Qin Kan smiled and groaned, "Didn't you say it just now?" Zuodu Yushi and the military department squire. Liu Gongquan: I spent one million taels of silver to buy these two officials. It's simple, it's not as complicated as you think. β
Liu Jin wanted to take a sip in his face.
If he Qin Kan really had such a simple idea, Liu Jin would be willing to be castrated again.
"Gonggong Liu leads the West Factory. Presumably you also know the news, my father-in-law is the prefect of Shaoxing, yesterday he entered Beijing, originally planned to promote him to the military department, from then on in Beijing as an official, but also a family reunion, the result of Liu Gonggong Qiangang, my father-in-law in the military department can not be a squire, Zuodu Yushi can not be done, my son-in-law summoned him into Beijing thousands of miles away, but I have no face, this matter, the most Lu has to ask for Liu Gonggong. Qin Kan said very earnestly.
Liu Jinhu asked: "Is it really that simple? β
"It's as simple as that."
Liu Jin sneered: "The palm print of the master of ceremonies of the miscellaneous family, do you think that the miscellaneous family can't even get a million silver, but asks for help from you?" β
"Father-in-law naturally has a way, the question is, how long does it take you to get this silver, Your Majesty takes the leopard house very seriously, and you have to personally inquire about the construction matters, can your father-in-law take out this silver in a few days?"
Liu Jin was speechless, and then said: "The miscellaneous family has no way, do you have a way?" β
Qin Kan said with a smile: "My means of making money are beyond the imagination of my father-in-law." β
"Do you really just want the Imperial History of Zuodu and the Squire of the Military Department?"
"Yes."
"Is there really no need to let the miscellaneous family bear the infamy of adultery and plunder?"
Qin Kan sighed: "Kidnapping is reasonable, what does the father-in-law use to commit adultery?" β
*****************************************************************
The two most prominent figures of the Ming Zhengde Dynasty made a deal in this way, although it was only a preliminary intention, although Liu Jin was deeply wary, but the deal still reached a consensus.
This deal is a more profound illustration that there are no eternal friends or enemies in the world, only eternal interests.
Seeing a bad guy and angrily brushing away without pretense is actually a very naΓ―ve approach. The court is a big dye vat, whether it is a righteous person or an evil person, jumping into the dye vat, and still want to maintain the original righteous or evil nature, is it possible? Officials who are not stained with dirty water will definitely not have a long political lifespan.
Qin Kan had already known about the hollowing out of the inner library by the Eight Tigers, and the reason why he didn't tell Zhu Houzhao was because he knew very well that with the feelings accumulated by Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin and the Eight Tigers for ten years, it was absolutely impossible to hurt Liu Jin's muscles and bones with more than one million silver, and since the handle was no longer a handle, Qin Kan simply used this handle to seek some benefits for himself.
On the way home, Ding Shun personally led Qin Kan's horse and walked very slowly.
At the beginning of spring next year, Qin Kan plans to promote Ding Shun to Jinyi Wei to calm down, and Li Er will make up for Ding Shun's inner city thousand households. The news has already been released, Ding Shun has been in a very good mood recently, and he has a fluttering feeling when he walks.
The old brother who had been following him since Nanjing had been in Nanjing at the beginning, and now he has been placed by Qin Kan batch by batch into the Jinyi Wei Ren Hundred Households, and even the Deputy Thousand Households, without treating a single person badly, but the fastest promotion is Ding Shun.
It was a very inexplicable feeling, Qin Kan only felt that Ding Shun was the most convenient to use, he was not stupid or smart, he was more shrewd than anyone else when he should be treacherous, and he was more open-minded than anyone else when he should play with his life.
"Master Hou really plans to make this deal with Liu Jin?"
"Nonsense, the banquet is invited, is Ben Hou teasing him?"
Ding Shun scratched his head and said, "But...... Didn't Hou Ye deal with Liu Jin very badly? Why did the two of them fight so much that their heads were bleeding, and in the blink of an eye, they hooked their shoulders and started a deal? β
"Liu Jin needs silver to fill the shortfall, I need an official position to install cronies, it just so happens that we both have what each other needs, so we each take what we need, and we have to continue to fight after the business is done."
"Master Hou, don't you think doing business with someone like Liu Jin is seeking skin with a tiger?"
"Don't put gold on people's faces, who is the tiger? I call it skinning with a donkey. (To be continued.) )
