Chapter 618: The Thief Reappears

The Emperor was rarely so angry.

The eunuch's whole heart was raised in his throat, and he said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and he has been by the emperor's side for so many years, so he naturally knows this truth.

The emperor is a volatile person, he knows this very well, so he has always done his duty, done his own thing, was by the emperor's side, observed words and feelings, and never said much.

Today's incident with Ji Yanning made him frightened.

He knows about King Xuan's fiancΓ©e, since he came to Chang'an, things have not stopped, there are many rumors about her, and the emperor is also quite concerned about her.

He had seen Ji Yanning a few times, and he looked obedient, but he didn't expect to face the emperor, but he didn't fall behind at all.

The emperor looked at the eunuch kneeling on the ground, finally regained some expression, and said calmly: "Clean up." ”

The eunuch was in a hurry, but he didn't dare to be too eager, so he could only let the little eunuch deal with it leisurely.

The emperor responded to Ji Yanning's request, but he was very uncomfortable in his heart.

Originally, he wanted to use the disaster relief to make Baochang Ji bleed, but he didn't expect that Ji Yanning actually had a lot of appetite.

This pair of siblings is really not that easy to deal with.

If it were someone else, the emperor might still appreciate the courage and resourcefulness of this pair of sisters and brothers, but unfortunately when he saw Ji Yanning, he felt a little disliked, and felt that Ji Yanning seemed to be a threat to him.

He rubbed his head and said to the eunuch next to him, "Look for the Qin Heavenly Eunuch's Mao Yun to come over." ”

Ji Yanning didn't know that after he left, Rong Liang went to find Mao Yun.

But even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

Mao Yun will not betray himself for no reason, and there is no need for him to be the emperor.

Ji Yanning felt that the most important thing on duty in Qintianjian was to have the ability to be in harmony with the mud.

After all, looking at celestial phenomena, looking at numerology, and measuring the unknown are really mysterious, and they can't be accurate, so they can only rely on flickering to save their lives.

Some things can't be said nonsense, some things to say but can't be said too obviously and too full, this is probably what the students in Qin Tianjian do every day, Ji Yanning was thinking.

It can be calculated as a skill, but it is also another ability to save life.

Before she went to Mao Yun to remove her bones, of course, it was to calm the emperor when he was suspicious of herself.

Naturally, she couldn't show her feet so quickly.

If Rong Que knew that he was Ying Caiwei, he would definitely kill himself desperately.

She had no doubt about it.

Ji Yanning and Ji Lang were sitting in the carriage, and the carriage was slowly going back to Liufu.

Ji Lang said: "Does my sister really want to hand over 100,000 taels of silver to the imperial court?"

When the news of the accident in Zhangzhou came before, Ji Yanning had already asked Baochang Ji to allocate a lot of silver.

Ji Yanning said: "We will not lose money if we exchange 100,000 taels of silver for the position of the imperial merchant." ”

If you become an imperial businessman, you are not an ordinary merchant, and there are many opportunities to make money in the future.

Ji Lang said: "But I also heard that in disaster relief, there will always be many officials who take the opportunity to make money, and those officials' families must have a lot of gold and silver wealth, why not let them donate money together for disaster relief?"

Merchants deal with money, so people feel full of copper smell and despised.

However, those officials are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and they have never been soft in secret, but they still look like they are self-assured.

Ji Yanning looked at him with a frowning look and said, "The matter of this disaster relief is supervised by the third prince, don't worry." Besides, I don't want to cheapen others with disaster relief money. ”

Ji Lang looked at Ji Yanning: "Sister has a way?"

Although it is said that the third prince is responsible for this disaster relief, the court and even his subordinates may not be unmoved when they see the benefits.

As long as it is not excessive, the three princes may not be reminded.

That's why she wouldn't just hand over the money to the yamen.

Ji Yanning said: "Although our sister and brother are now in Chang'an, our Baochang Ji is mainly in the Jiangnan area, we can donate money, but silver and grain must be transported from Jiangnan." ”

In this way, you can avoid the large and small inspection officials in Chang'an, and you can save a lot of oil and water layer by layer.

When Ji Lang heard Ji Yanning say this, he instantly felt relieved: "My sister is very smart. ”

Ji Yanning's eyes looked at Ji Lang and said, "So, with my sister here, even if something happens, don't be afraid, why do you want to say in front of the emperor today that you won't be in the office in the future?"

Ji Lang is still studying in the Egret Academy, his homework has always been good, and the masters in the academy are very satisfied with him, after all, he is very smart.

He already has the title of "Little Talent" in the academy, he is already handsome and very popular.

If he joins the company in the future, it will not be difficult for him.

Ji Lang said: "I have decided, whether I am an official in the court, or whether I am a businessman and continue to run Baochang Ji, as long as I work hard, I will do well, and there is no need to enter the court as an official." ”

Although the people of this world are respected by the scholars, and the status of merchants is not high, for Ji Lang, these are not important.

Even if he is a businessman, he can still hold his head high, and he doesn't have to be bad.

Ji Yanning saw that his eyes were firm, so he laughed: "Okay, your own affairs, just decide." ”

The carriage slowly returned to Liufu, and as soon as it got off the carriage, the butler stepped forward.

"Miss Cousin, Young Master Cousin, the master asked you to go to the study when you come back. The butler said.

Ji Yanning and Ji Lang glanced at each other, and followed the housekeeper to Liu Mu's courtyard.

The two sisters and brothers came to Liu Mu's study and came forward to salute him.

"There aren't so many rules. Liu Mu put down the pen in his hand and looked up at Ji Yanning and Ji Lang, "How did you talk about entering the palace?"

Ji Yanning said: "It's going well, Baochang Ji donated 100,000 taels of silver for disaster relief." ”

When Liu Mu heard Ji Yanning say that he would use 100,000 taels of silver for disaster relief, he was a little shocked in his heart, if he asked other businesses to donate some silver, the imperial court would not have to spend a penny at all, and he could even charge the treasury again.

He sighed and said, "The emperor is really a lion's mouth. ”

Ji Yanning said: "No, it's 100,000 taels of silver that I proposed." ”

Liu Mu looked at Ji Yanning in surprise.

Could it be that her Bao Chang Ji is really rich?

Ji Yanning saw Liu Mu's expression, smiled, and said, "Actually, Baochang Ji wants to take out 100,000 taels of silver, which is indeed a bit much. But if it weren't for this price, I was afraid that the emperor would not let Baochangji be the emperor's businessman. ”

"Imperial Merchant?" Liu Mu looked at Ji Yanning with some surprise.

Ji Yanning nodded: "In the future, one-quarter of the supply of cloth and tea will be taken care of by Baochang Ji." ”

Liu Mu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't beat the silver out, there would be no waves.

Looking at Ji Yanning and Ji Lang's very good faces, Liu Mu deeply felt that in the eyes of his nephew and niece, he was probably a poor person who couldn't be poorer.

When Ji Lang was looking for a house before, he took him to see a few good houses and asked him to choose a suitable one.

He originally wanted to pick a decent one, not too big, but Ji Lang told him that all the houses he took him to see had been bought, but he was just looking at which one was more suitable as a new home.

At that time, he felt in his heart that the Ji family sisters and brothers must be so rich to squander like this!

Liu Mu asked Ji Lang not to spend money indiscriminately, and Ji Lang said that he had always been frugal.

Is this really frugal?

In fact, before Ji Yanning took over Baochang Ji, Baochang Ji was indeed just a barely wealthy business, since Ji Yanning took over, a series of actions made the business bigger and bigger, and later annexed a lot of businesses, and the trend of getting rich became more and more obvious.

Within a day, many people already knew that Bao Changji had agreed to donate, but the specific amount was unknown, but it was rumored that she had entered the ranks of imperial merchants because she had promised to donate money to Zhangzhou.

This news made many people start to secretly inquire about how much money Bao Chang Kee gave to have such an identity, in fact, they also want to be similar.

Those imperial merchants who were squeezed out were even more depressed, thinking that if they also donated money, would they be able to compare Baochang to the next level.

However, after finding out the amount of Ji Yanning's donation, many of them retreated.

One hundred thousand taels of silver!

That's not money, it's fate!

However, Bao Chang Ji was able to come up with 100,000 taels of silver, and the other businesses naturally couldn't do nothing, and donated silver one after another.

Many officials saw that the merchants had begun to donate money, and they naturally laughed at themselves in their hearts, using their money to relieve the disaster, so that the scholars were very comfortable.

However, when they were robbed and a lot of things were stolen from their homes for several days at night, they didn't dare to deal with the matter in the open, even if they reported it to the official, they didn't dare to say how much money was stolen.

At this juncture of disaster relief, it is naturally inappropriate to let others know that they have so much money in their private treasury.

I'm afraid that if I don't come back after the money is found by the yamen, I will lose a lot if I donate it, so it's better to find it silently.

Ji Yanning expected that these people would swallow their anger, and there was no need to be polite to let Yuan Jiaojiao start.

With the talisman of Duan Wufang, Yuan Jiaojiao felt that it was easier for her to steal things.

This kind of feeling of robbing the rich and helping the poor seems to be pretty good, and if you are a thief, you can just steal things, and there are people from Duanfu to respond, which is very exciting to think about.

So she got excited and stole more diligently.

So in just three days, the arrogant Jiangyang thieves patronized many official mansions in Chang'an City several times, and almost emptied people's private vaults.

If it weren't for Duan Wuflawless to stop him, I was afraid that Yuan Jiaojiao really didn't want to leave them alone.

With this money, I feel that even if Ji Yanning pays 100,000 taels of disaster relief silver, it seems that he is going to return to his roots?

Yuan Jiaojiao thought to herself, she is really capable.
