Chapter 441: Non-Ye
"But there is still no silver in the treasury! I have no silver in my hand, and my heart is uneasy! ”
Gu Chengyu's words, although the emperor said it very closely. But the problem is still not solved, and the problem has to be solved.
As soon as Gu Chengyu heard this, he knew what the emperor was calling him for today? I just want to fill the treasury and find him an idea.
"Gu Aiqing, someone recommended you to me, saying that you are a good hand at holding silver, do you have a good plan?"
The emperor looked at Gu Chengyu for a long time, to see what good way he could think of.
After all, just what Xia Qing said, he might not believe it. But even the second child has recommended it, so maybe Gu Chengyu really has a way.
Gu Chengyu was a little surprised, and then kept slandering in his heart, who recommended him to the emperor?
With the little soap and silver he earned on his face, it shouldn't attract the attention of others, right?
Could it be that those people know that Juxianglou was opened by him? But he has not come forward openly, and it should be impossible to say that he has found out.
Gu Chengyu's mind was full of changes, and he felt that the emperor's request really made him embarrassed.
The amount of silver needed by the imperial court is very huge, and the emperor is afraid that the emperor will not look down on those who make a living.
He knows that the big profits are nothing more than glass, mirrors, and cement.
The rough steps, he had seen from the books in the space. But those things have to be experimented slowly, and they won't work out in a short period of time.
Besides, he is still an official of the Hanlin Academy, and he is not from the Ministry of Industry. It wouldn't do him any good to get these recipes out too soon.
At that time, the emperor will not give him a piece of the pie, at most he will be promoted to the next level, which can be regarded as a dismissal.
But even if Gu Chengyu doesn't rely on these, let alone within three years, after three years, he is still sure to be promoted.
Fang Zi gave it, but the benefits were not great, so Gu Chengyu was not inclined to create these now.
He is going to wait for his official position to be higher, and be the first to eat crabs first, otherwise he will also make wedding dresses for others.
Even if he is taken by the emperor later, then he will get a lot of profits, and he will have the capital to negotiate terms with the emperor.
Thinking like this, Gu Chengyu felt that he had to think from elsewhere.
He said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, you also know that the silver required by the imperial court is not a small amount. How could Wei Chen's little trick get into the eyes of the emperor? ”
Gu Chengyu set his eyes on the imperial case in front of the emperor, and did not dare to look directly at Tianyan.
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart. How could he not know the huge amount of silver needed by the imperial court? Isn't it precisely because of this that he called Gu Chengyu to give him advice?
The emperor picked up the tea bowl, took two sips, and then put the tea bowl down, and De'an immediately stepped forward to refill the tea for the emperor.
Gu Chengyu looked at the steaming tea bowl, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. Then, his eyes lit up, and wasn't that a great idea.
But after a moment, he frowned again. If this law is implemented, it will inevitably attract fierce resistance from some people.
However, those people are not entirely without benefits. On the contrary, there are many benefits.
"Gu Aiqing has a good way to say it directly, whether it is a trick or not, I have a conclusion in my heart."
The emperor listened to Gu Chengyu's meaning just now, and there is still a way to think about it, but it is a pity that the silver taels needed by the imperial court are far away.
But no matter how small the mosquito's legs are, they are still meat! He didn't dislike it at all.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has an idea in his heart, but he hasn't thought about it before, I'm afraid there is something wrong, Weichen"
Gu Chengyu wanted to speak and stopped, this method only had a prototype in his heart, and it had not yet been perfected.
Even if it is said to the emperor now, it cannot be implemented prematurely, otherwise it will inevitably cause turmoil.
When the emperor saw Gu Chengyu spitting, his eyebrows wrinkled even more, "What concerns does Gu Aiqing have?" ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen has an idea, but if this law is implemented, it may cause some turmoil!"
The emperor was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of idea Gu Chengyu had.
"What kind of method is that, Gu Aiqing might as well say it directly." The emperor was very eager to know, and immediately blurted out the question in his heart.
"Your Majesty, do you like tea?" Gu Chengyu smiled and suddenly changed the topic from before.
As soon as the emperor raised his eyebrows, he wanted to scold Gu Chengyu, wanting him not to have to ask for what he didn't have.
As soon as Gu Chengyu saw the emperor's face, he knew that the emperor was unhappy, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! You just have to answer Wechen's question first, because Wechen's method is related to this matter. ”
Gu Chengyu deliberately sold Guanzi, this method was said too quickly, it was inevitably too cheap, and he was not allowed to take Qiao?
When the emperor heard this, although his heart became more and more eager, he also patiently replied: "I love to drink tea, and what is in this tea bowl is the tip of the hair, the spring tea that has just been picked this year." ”
De'an couldn't help but sweat for Gu Chengyu in his heart, this Lord Gu was really bold, even the emperor dared to refute.
"Your Majesty, do you think this tea is expensive?" Gu Chengyu was not in a hurry at this time, he felt a little tired standing now, and he moved the soles of his feet slightly.
"Ahem! De'an, quickly move a chair for Master Gu. The emperor couldn't help but smile when he saw Gu Chengyu's hidden movements.
"Emperor Xie!" Gu Chengyu hurriedly thanked him, although he still had to stand up when he replied, but being able to sit for a while also represented his honor, didn't it?
"Yes!"
De'an can see that the emperor is very indulgent to Lord Gu, and when the emperor and Lord Gu are discussing, they are usually in a very relaxed mood.
Whether the emperor's dragon body is healthy or not is very important to De'an, he is just an internal servant, and he can have today's glory, naturally relying on the emperor. Therefore, for Lord Gu, who can relieve the emperor's worries, De Anxin has a good impression.
"This tea is naturally expensive, but what exactly do you want to say?"
Gu Chengyu also knew the truth of accepting it when he saw it, so he stopped selling it.
"Your Majesty! The tea you drink is a tribute, which is different from the nature of the common people and the homes of Weichen. But there are many people with a lot of money in this world, and they all like to drink tea, and they are all good tea. As you can imagine, the profits of those tea sellers are extremely objective. ”
The emperor nodded, but this is a fact. Those who have tea plantations in large families naturally earn money. And the tea sellers who come and go from all over the world have made a lot of money.
However, the emperor was a little puzzled, could it be that Gu Chengyu meant to let them grow more tea trees in the royal family?
"What does Gu Aiqing mean that the royal family also grows some tea trees? But not to mention the manpower consumption, it is still a business that requires long-term investment, and this period is too long. I want benefits that can be seen in the short term. And to do so is to compete with the people for profit, which is really inappropriate. ”
The emperor shook his head, even if there were more tea trees, those benefits could not be compared with the silver required for the side salary.
"Definitely!"
