Chapter 100: Digging the Foot of the Wall?
"The original intention is not to make money, just don't lose money, the people earn hard money, and earn their losses." Tianling continued, "And don't look down on these five cents, so many people, one person and five cents, it adds up to a lot!" β
"You're such a little profiteer!" The eighth prince laughed and scolded.
"Eighth Prince, what you said is not right." Tianling was dissatisfied, "Profiteers refer to those shops who make money without conscience, I made gloves for the people to help them alleviate a little hardship, how did I become a profiteer?"
The eighth prince raised his eyebrows, "I don't let go of five cents, and I still say that I am not a profiteer?" β
"Not really! Not only did I not make their money, I made them money. Where did I get this glove from? The tailor shop asked some of the eldest sisters and sisters-in-law in the neighborhood to sew it, and gave silver according to the quantity and quality they made. Heavenly Spirit asked the Eighth Prince.
"Earned." The Eighth Prince nodded.
"And those who are willing to do these embroidery jobs are basically the daughters-in-law and girls of these people's families, and I use the money they buy gloves from me to pay their daughters-in-law and girls, you say, did they buy gloves and finally go back to their own homes?"
"It seems like thatΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
"The money is theirs, the gloves are also theirs, and I, the little father-in-law of Tianling, have nothing, and I still have to carry the infamy of profiteers, I am so wronged!"
"Okay, okay, don't fake crying." The eighth prince shook the dark unicorn gloves in his hand, "For the sake of your gift to this king, this king will remind you, you can't make money from the people, why don't you want to think that there is also this demand in the palace?" β
"In the palace?" Tianling was stunned, who can the palace sell to?
"The eunuchs and maids in the palace know that they are good to themselves, and they are willing to spend money for themselves." The eighth prince continued, "If you put this thing in the inner palace, you will definitely make a lot of money." β
Tianling shook his head again and again, "How dare you, under Your Majesty's nose, you don't dare to make a mistake." β
"Are you still afraid? When this king saw you acting, he thought that you were not afraid of heaven and earth. The eighth prince paused, "Otherwise, don't follow the royal brother, how about following this king?" β
"The prince laughed, how can this be decided by a small subordinate of mine?" The heavenly spirit does not leak.
"Don't say if you can, this king asks you, are you willing?" The Eighth Prince asked again.
It seems that this matter can't be avoided today, Tianling took a deep breath, raised his head to look at the eighth prince, and shook his head resolutely, "Back to the prince's words, I don't want to." β
"Why?" The eighth prince's face suddenly became bad, "What's wrong with this king?" The refusal is so simple! β
"The prince is good anywhere, it's because it's so good that the heavenly spirit doesn't want to." Tianling looked at the expression of the eighth prince, and began to run the train with his mouth full, "During this time with you, the prince is rich and handsome, and I dare not look at it directly, and your brilliance makes me ashamed of myself, if I am always with the prince, Tianling estimates that there will be no chance to raise my head in my life." β
"You dare to raise your head in front of the imperial brother?" The eighth prince was laughed at angrily.
"Don't dare, but the mood is different, in front of Your Majesty is in awe, and in front of the prince is ashamed." Tianling coped with it easily, "The feeling of shame in my heart is too tormenting." β
"If you don't want to, this king still doesn't look down on you!" The eighth prince scolded and turned to leave.
Tianling looked at the back of the Eighth Prince, thoughtful.
From the idea to digging the foot of the wall, there seems to be no problem with one button and one link, but in fact, it is full of flaws, in the inner palace, the eunuchs dare not speak loudly, and they still want to do business in the palace?
As for digging into the wall, whether it is sincere or tempting, it is not a good thing.
But this reminds the heavenly spirit that there is a demand for gloves in the palace, and he can't do this business, but someone can!
So when Lord Song went to the capital again to report the situation of the construction of the official road, Tianling stuffed two large packages to the messenger and brought them back to the capital.
One was brought to Gonggong Hai, and the other was brought to Zuowen.
A few days later, two hundred miles away in the capital, two letters were placed side by side on the emperor's desk, one folded and a large package.
They are the secret letter written by the eighth prince to the emperor, the excerpts handed over by Lord Song, and the packages and excerpts that Tianling brought to Gonggong Hai.
The emperor first opened the letter of the eighth prince, and after reading it, he directly skipped the excerpt of Lord Song and opened the letter from Tianling to Gonggong Hai.
Then the emperor opened the package, and picked up the contents the same, Hai Gonggong tiptoed slightly, and secretly looked towards the package, this package was given to him by Tianling, but it was just before it was hot, and it was cut off by the emperor.
"What to do? Can I still live without your things? The emperor glanced at Gonggong Hai, "Look at your stingy appearance." β
"The old slave doesn't dare." Gonggong Hai bowed down and replied, "The old slave is just curious, I don't know what the heavenly spirit brought back?" β
"Money." The emperor smiled, took out a pair of thin cotton gloves from the package and threw them to Gonggong Hai, "Take it and take a look." β
"What is this? Where to take it? Such asΒ·Β·Β· How to bring? "Grandpa Hai is holding a glove, what is this thing? How does it look weird?
"Hands, put it in!" The emperor sighed, in the secret letter written to him by the eighth prince, he made fun of Tianling for teaching people to wear gloves stupidly, how could anyone who didn't know about such a simple person? The emperor especially wanted the eighth prince to see the prince of Hai at this moment, and there were really people who didn't know!
After putting on the gloves, Grandpa Hai moved his fingers slightly, and his face was incredible, "So flexible!" β
"In your opinion, this thing, can anyone in the inner palace want it?" The Emperor asked.
"Of course someone wants it!" Gonggong Hai replied without hesitation, "Especially those rough palace maids and eunuchs, they will definitely compete for it, even the old slaves, and they also think it is very good." β
"Then I will give you an errand, and when you go out of the palace to buy a batch and come back, you will sell it privately." The emperor said to Hai Gong, "The silver is from the treasury, but remember, don't use the name of the public, do it well, and there will be a reward." β
"Yes!" Duke Hai received the order.
The emperor's fingers tapped on the desk, the eighth brother had observed the heavenly spirit for a period of time according to his instructions, judging from the news sent back, he was smart enough to withstand the test of loyalty, and it was still his duty, but the emperor was still not satisfied, that is, the heavenly spirit was not ruthless enough.
In the secret letter sent back by the eighth brother, it was said that Tianling had guessed who was behind the whole thing, but he didn't take any action, and in addition, he also sent people to secretly protect those businessmen who rebelled.
When the emperor thought of this, he suddenly became angry, he was too merciful, and he had to let people fight back before he could fight back? Don't know what it means to strike first? The guards assigned to you are for your use, not for you to put at the door to punish you! Do you have to let me do it?
"Come on, Xuanzuo Xiang enters the palace!"
