Chapter 881: I Hope It's Not Too Bad
So, Xu Jiaojiao added such a stroke to the He family.
Bingyang City, He's shop, He Yanxi, donated 2,000 taels of silver to Jingchengguan.
……
The next day, the morning dynasty.
This time, the emperor came up early, and as soon as he sat down, he set his eyes on the prime minister.
"Ji Aiqing, what is the result of the recruitment?"
Prime Minister Ji's expression was calm, and he bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor, after the old minister returned, he immediately summoned the lords of the major families, and they all made a promise and were willing to donate to the army. ”
"Hmm."
The emperor nodded, "Then, how many silver taels did you get?" ”
Prime Minister Ji: "A total of about 36,000 taels of silver." ”
36,000 taels, this is only half of it, and the gap in the military department is 60,000 taels!
"That's a lot!"
The emperor was worried, and at the same time he was not angry, those old guys, all of them were picky, this was to see that they couldn't escape this level, so they took out a little casually, and wanted to fool the past, but as long as they were sincere, it would definitely be more than that.
"So, what about the merchant?"
There is still a difference of twenty-four thousand taels.
Shangjia is not comparable to a wealthy family, I hope it is not too bad, otherwise, I will inevitably be a villain, and give those old guys a forced apportionment, the emperor secretly pondered.
Prime Minister Ji said, "Shang Jia, I'm going to ask Master Du." ”
Xu Jiaojiao engaged in fundraising in the name of the household department, and the whole capital knew about it, so Prime Minister Ji naturally had no reason not to know.
He originally wanted to gather some big businessmen to discuss, but after seeing that Du Zhengyan had already come out, he dispelled his thoughts.
This thing is not pleasing to him, and his old Duquén took the initiative to take action, so it was naturally better.
The emperor turned his gaze to Du Zhengyan.
Du Zhengyan took a few steps forward and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, three days ago, the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law of the minister took the lead in raising donations, and explained the truth to the merchants, knowing the benefits and disadvantages, the merchants have generously donated money, enthusiastically donated, and the ministers counted a total of 150,000 and 322 taels of silver!" ”
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out: "What did you say?" ”
"The minister has raised 150,000 and 320 taels of silver!" Du Zhengyan said loudly. Of course, he knew that the emperor didn't hear clearly, but he couldn't believe it, so he simply made a joke, "Congratulations to the emperor!" The shortage of silver has been solved! ”
"Good!"
The emperor was overjoyed, patted the armrest, and stood up with a "ho", his joyful expression could not be concealed at all, and he said loudly:
"Good! Good you Du Zhengyan, you really deserve to be my household servant, and you didn't disappoint me! ”
The ministers below also reacted, and they were all surprised for a while, Prime Minister Ji was no exception, he only knew that Lao Du was raising donations with his eldest son and daughter-in-law, but he didn't expect to raise so much in three days!
Almost all wealthy families have the power to minister in the court, now think about the more than 30,000 taels they took out, in comparison, this is simply a slap in the face! A dignified family can't compare to businessmen and the like!
And the emperor also promised that these silver taels would be returned in the future, so thinking about it, I was so ashamed that I wanted to let people get into the cracks in the ground.
However, this kind of thinking is just the idea of the average person.
And these families in the court are not ordinary people, at most their old faces are twitched a few times, and there are very few blushing faces.
The emperor couldn't take care of them anymore, and was still happy: "Du Aiqing has done a good job in this matter!" I won't forget! ”
Du Zhengyan bowed and said: "This matter was initiated by the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law of Weichen, and many businessmen worked together to achieve it. ”
"Hmm!"
The emperor nodded, "Is your eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law here?" Declare them into the temple! ”
Du Zhengyan is an old officialdom, of course, he had already brought Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao, who was waiting outside the palace at this time, and when he heard the emperor summoning him, Xu Jiaojiao entered the palace with Liao Qing and met the emperor.
The emperor is more familiar with these two people, and now the more he looks at it, the more satisfied he becomes, especially Xu Jiaojiao, who is capable and capable, and now he has helped himself do such a big thing.
I remembered the Queen Mother's previous words, it's a pity that the beauty is married, and it is difficult to chase in the past, otherwise it is indeed not a problem to match a prince, and it is an excellent virtuous helper, and now it is cheap for the old Du family.
"As far as I know, your brewery hasn't been open for a long time, right? How much did you donate? ”
The emperor was in a good mood at this time, and his words were a lot kinder.
Du Zhengyan hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, they donated all the income since the opening of the winery. Coupled with the proceeds from the auction of the title wine on the gold list these days, all of them were offered, a total of 18,000 taels of silver! ”
Du Zhengyan was worried that his two sons and daughters-in-law would not answer appropriately, after all, he had personally learned the conversation between these two people, and sometimes it could change people's moods.
Although they should be measured in the face of the emperor, there are exceptions to everything, and in that case, today's beautiful things may be flawed.
Another point, the person concerned can't boast about himself, how embarrassing it is, so it's better for him to talk about it.
The emperor was moved, and his face became solemn, "The two of you understand the righteousness and help in times of crisis, you can be called my auspicious talent, the dragon and phoenix among people!" I want to thank you both for Daxiang! ”
"The emperor has a reputation for ......"
Xu Jiaojiao was a little surprised, this emperor seemed to be a little interesting, and he was willing to say such a thing.
If there are a few more means, Daxiang will not only not decline, maybe it can be better than the previous dynasty......
Xu Jiaojiao thought far away.
There is no way, in this era, if you want to be safe and live comfortably, you can't get it by sitting at home, you have to see the situation clearly.
"Good! If you two have merit, you deserve a reward! ”
The emperor continued to speak, "I, I will give you Qingxi Xu wine as the royal tribute wine, and pay tribute every year, but if there is an accident, you can not pay tribute, can you be satisfied?" ”
"Emperor Xie!"
Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing thanked each other and were overjoyed.
Qingxi Xu Liquor became a tribute wine, so there would be no need to worry about sales in the future, and the palace would buy it in large quantities. And the emperor also explained that if there is an accident, you can not pay tribute.
Don't underestimate this one.
For example, the palace asks you to pay a tribute of 2,000 catties of wine next year, but you can't take out so much because of an accident, so what should you do? Never mind?
Think beautifully!
Under normal circumstances, if you can't get it, you will be punished and go to jail!
Therefore, the royal tribute is a double-edged sword, both good and bad.
And now, the emperor has specially pointed out this article to relieve them of their worries, otherwise, sometimes it may be true that the reward will become a punishment.
In addition, the name of tribute wine will also bring them great benefits.
The wine used by the palace must be a good wine, who doesn't want to buy it back and taste it?
In the future, there is no need for Xu Jiaojiao to advertise, just take out the name of the tribute wine and use it.
