Chapter 233: Filling the Treasury
Early the next morning, Su Bowen changed into his usual clothes, and the prince also changed into ordinary cloth clothes, first came to Su Mansion, and then went to the eastern suburbs with Su Bowen.
The businessman in the eastern suburbs didn't expect Su Bowen to come, and he was accompanied by an inconspicuous entourage.
When the businessman led by him saw Su Bowen, his face was suspicious, but he was smiling.
"Why did Second Master Su come over today, didn't you just come to eat with us a few days ago?"
"Yes, you gave me a lot of good things last time I came over, and after I went back, I thought about it, it's definitely not okay to accept your things for no reason, so I'm going to send you something."
Saying that, Su Bowen ordered someone to bring over the Su Ji food he brought, and the group of businessmen didn't say anything on their faces, but they kept slandering in their hearts.
The food that was suppressed to Su Ji was not expensive, and it was not that their group of people could not afford it, it was obvious that the second master of the Su family took advantage of them last time, and this time he planned to come over and continue to take advantage.
In this way, the businessman led by him simply got straight to the point.
"Second Master Su, our group of people in the eastern suburbs are also doing small business, and we don't have much income on weekdays, so I can't help but come over again and again."
"But didn't you say last time that you still hope that Su Fu will take more care of you in the future? You should know that the treasury of the imperial court is empty now, and the things you gave me last time have been reported to the household department and charged into the treasury.
If you really have money and nowhere to spend, it is better to fill it into the treasury, so that you can also get the protection of the court. ”
Su Bowen's words made the group of businessmen stunned, no matter what, they didn't expect Su Bowen to follow such a routine, I have to say that Su Bowen is definitely a profiteer, but they usually can't see it.
"Second Master Su, your consciousness is ......"
"It's very simple, hand in some more things, maybe your life in the eastern suburbs will be better in the future, otherwise I don't dare to guarantee that your life will be better."
As soon as Su Bowen said this, the face of the leader businessman changed, his tone was cold, and his eyes were fierce.
"It seems that Second Master Su is planning to fight us to the end? Second Master Su is not afraid that he will offend the people behind us? ”
"Oh? I wonder who is behind you? ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
As soon as the man's words came out, Su Bowen was stunned, he subconsciously looked at the prince who was dressed in disguise, and found that the prince's face was not very good, Su Bowen was speechless, and said in his heart This group of people is really stupid, if they know that the person standing next to him is His Royal Highness the Prince, it is estimated that this group of people will regret it very much.
When everyone saw Su Bowen like this, they thought that Su Bowen was frightened by their words, and the person at the head continued to speak.
"Second Master Su, in fact, the relationship between your Su family and His Royal Highness is not bad, I think the Su family will not block His Highness's financial path."
"I don't know when the prince has a relationship with you merchants."
The prince, who had not spoken for a long time, snorted coldly, and the merchant did not care.
"What do you know as an entourage, we have always been under the protection of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, otherwise how could we do whatever we want in the eastern suburbs."
As if what the man said was really like that, Su Bowen subconsciously looked at the prince, and the prince's face was extremely ugly, and he snorted coldly.
"Song Liu, order Dali Temple to take everyone down."
"Yes."
Song Liu, who was originally hiding in the shadows, took the guards of the Prince's Mansion to surround the courtyard to death, and the people who led it were immediately dissatisfied and shouted.
"Do you know that we are His Highness's people, aren't you afraid that His Highness will punish you for your crimes!"
"I'll see if anyone dares to punish me, Song Liu, take everyone away."
"Yes, Your Highness."
As soon as Song Liu's words came out, the group of people were dumbfounded, who could tell them what was going on.
Su Bowen bowed to the prince and said.
"Your Highness is really powerful, and with His Highness coming out today, this matter will be resolved smoothly."
"Temple ......"
"Take it away!"
Song Liu took all the people away, and today the prince and Su Bowen made a big disturbance in the eastern suburbs, and many powerful people in the capital knew that His Majesty ordered the prince to govern the eastern suburbs.
You must know that the eastern suburbs used to be the boundary of the Three Princes, although no one said it on the surface, but in fact it was the boundary of the Three Princes.
The prince is not unclear, even His Majesty is also clear, it happened that Su Ji was doing business in the eastern suburbs and found out about this matter, His Majesty simply asked the prince to investigate the matter, and also helped the prince arrest all the former henchmen of the three princes.
In this way, the three princes did not have the money provided by the capital, and it would not be long before they wanted to be rampant.
The crown prince put two-thirds of the looted money into the state treasury, and the remaining third was used for the construction of the eastern suburbs.
The eastern suburbs were too chaotic before, but now the prince personally appointed someone to take charge of this matter, so that the eastern suburbs can live much better.
On this day, Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen came to the eastern suburbs together, just in time for the prince to be there.
Shen Baiqing greeted the prince with Su Bowen, and the prince said.
"You don't have to be so polite, this time the affairs of the eastern suburbs are indispensable to your Su family, let's talk about it, is there anything you want?"
The prince didn't say this simply to be polite, he really hoped that the Su family could ask him for something, the Su family's external image has always been desireless, and the prince really doesn't know what the Su family will write.
Hearing this, Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen glanced at each other, Su Bowen gave Shen Baiqing an encouraging look, Shen Baiqing looked at the prince and said.
"Your Highness, the courtiers want the houses and fields in the hands of those merchants."
"Oh? This prince didn't expect that the Su family also had a shortage of houses and fields. ”
The prince obviously knew that Shen Baiqing was definitely not asking for the Su family, but he was very curious about what Shen Baiqing was going to do.
Seeing the prince asking, Shen Baiqing did not hide it at all.
"Back to His Royal Highness, the courtiers just want to give those beggars and gangsters in the eastern suburbs a place to live.
The eastern suburbs were so turbulent before, and the people were able to live a good life, but their lives were really not easy, if these people could be allowed to have a place to stay, the eastern suburbs might become a prosperous place in the suburbs of Beijing in the future. ”
Hearing this, the prince's eyes were full of satisfaction, and he knew that Shen Baiqing was not simple, but he didn't expect that Shen Baiqing's brain was really enough.
"Second Lady Su is smart enough, in this way, this matter will be handed over to you to be responsible, and then I will ask Song Liu to send you the house deed and land deed, I hope you don't disappoint this prince."
"Your Highness, rest assured, the courtiers will do their best."
In any case, Shen Baiqing is also a three-grade fate, and she does things very properly, not to mention that the prince is satisfied with her, even His Majesty praises her.
The Su family can be so brilliant now, and most of it is also due to Shen Baiqing.
The matter in the eastern suburbs is over, and the prince is very popular in the capital because of this matter, and the people say that the prince will ascend the throne in the future, and he will live a very good life in the future.
