One hundred and twelve: dead end
He said, with a smile on his face: "It's better to settle it all at once, so that I won't bother you in the future, and you will save trouble, I promise to keep my mouth shut from now on, and never mention this matter again, and rot those things in my stomach, how about it?" β
When you can get more benefits, of course, you have to catch as much as possible, otherwise, you won't suffer in vain. He has given up the princess and daughter-in-law, and he has to get more benefits.
What's more, he calculated an account for Jiang Songwen, knew how many ways he had to get into the account, and knew that his request was just a drop in the bucket for Jiang Songwen.
Zou Qing almost laughed angrily, raised his eyes to look at him, and asked quietly, "Then how much does Master Hou want?" β
Guanzhong Hou Zai pondered carefully for a while, looked at Zou Qing's face, and slowly stretched out five fingers.
Zou Qing looked at his erected fingers, hesitated for a moment, and asked him, "Fifty thousand taels?" β
"500,000 taels!" Guan Zhonghou said it in one breath, as if he saw the silver of the white flowers and looked in front of him, and he was a little elated: "I know, Lord Jiang is in a high position, I heard that he will soon take over as Shang Baosi Shaoqing, this is a fat shortage, before the adult was in charge of the Ministry of Industry, and a little crack under his hand was a large amount of hundreds of thousands of taels...... In the future, if you take care of Shang Baosi, isn't that just a matter of taking what you want? Adults probably don't care about these decimals......"
500,000 taels of silver, he said it was a small amount, Zou Qing sneered heavily in his heart, only to feel that this person simply didn't know whether to live or die.
But if he hadn't been so greedy, he wouldn't have broken his word after making an alliance with Shen Chen.
Guan Zhonghou himself was unaware of Zou Qing's slander, and in his opinion, his request was reasonable.
Others don't know, but he knows, Jiang Songwen relied on his father to be the first assistant, and he didn't know how many things he had done to bully men and women, but everyone was in the way of his father who was the first assistant, so they didn't dare to impeach.
At the beginning, when they cleaned up the river in Guanzhong, the Ministry of Industry approved 1 million taels of silver, but when it came to their Guanzhong, there was only 700,000 silver left.
At that time, the Marquis of Guanzhong and the then governor of the river were very good friends, and they were still in-laws with each other, and they heard it clearly from his mouth, saying that the 300,000 taels were filial piety to Jiang Songwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.
Jiang Songwen is also bold enough, he patted the table and said to the governor of the river, saying that he had already settled the account, and the governor of the river only used 600,000 taels to repair the river, and he collected 300,000 taels and left 100,000 taels for the governor of the river.
At that time, the Marquis of Guanzhong was shocked, he didn't expect Jiang Songwen to be so greedy----- you know, repair 600,000 taels of the river, and then give Jiang Songwen 300,000 taels, and the 1 million taels given by the imperial court will only be 100,000 taels, these 100,000 taels, under the layers of exploitation, from the local governor of Guanzhong to the town guard eunuch to the prefect and others, there is almost nothing left from the governor of the river, which is equivalent to being tired and tired but busy in vain, and nothing is gained.
Jiang Songwen has been so greedy for a day or two, Guanzhong Hou gave him a rough estimate, Jiang Songwen has been the secretary of the Ministry of Industry for six years, and he has earned no less than one million taels in the past six years.
In addition, he used to be a waiter in the Ministry of Works.
For Jiang Songwen, asking for 500,000 taels is a drop in the bucket at most, although it is more, it will never affect him anything.
Guan Zhonghou thought that the accounts had been calculated extremely accurately, and the number opened was just right, and it would never be excessive.
Zou Qing couldn't help but gasp in his heart, feeling that Guan Zhonghou was simply ridiculous.
The silver in the oil pot was eager to be fished up and used, but I didn't want to think about whether he had that life.
He snorted, not hesitating: "The number you proposed is a bit large..... I can't call the shots myself, so let's go back and ask our master......"
Guanzhong Hou raised his chin arrogantly: "Just ask." He looked at Zou Qing proudly, and said meaningfully: "You are not the only one who came to me today, just before you, many people have already come to me to inquire about the princess, and asked me why the princess said that she was sick again......
This is where Ming Huanghuang begins to threaten people.
Zou Qing can still nod perfunctory with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, don't worry, we don't dare not be careful, but you let us go back and report to the master, before tonight, we will give you an answer, absolutely not miss your business, since you like Yunxiufang, just go, how much money was spent, and we will report to you when the time comes......"
This is like human words, Guan Zhonghou touched his beard and was very satisfied, so he got up and left.
Zou Qing patted the table he was sitting on, slowly dried his hands, let the people under him in, and ordered with an expressionless face: "Go to Yunxiufang and say, isn't he a new fancy for that noble sister?" Let your sister serve him, be sure to serve me. β
As he spoke, he smiled grimly: "Then send someone to inform your sister of his lover." β
Although Yunxiufang is not the Jiang family's industry, it is also familiar and shared by the Jiang family, Zou Qing is clear about the situation inside, and he also knows that your sister's family was an official at the beginning, but it was only later that her father committed an accident, and she was forced to fall into the dust.
She also has a fiancΓ© who was already engaged at the beginning, although she doesn't want to drag people down and always refuses, but her lover is very affectionate and righteous, and he has made up his mind to help her redeem himself.
Your sister also slowly agreed, and she was willing to go to be a concubine for that person.
If Guan Zhonghou really wants your sister, then .....
So your sister's childhood sweetheart wanted his life, that's right, he can't blame anyone, whoever told him to be so blind, he has to break up other people's lovers?
Jiang Songming said that he wanted him to do things neatly and beautifully, and no one could see the way outside, he thought about it, and thought of this method, and after thinking about it again, he felt that only this method was foolproof.
The people below immediately understood what he meant, agreed, and went to arrange it themselves.
Zou Qing sat quietly in the private room facing the street for a while before laughing, Guanzhong Hou is really stupid, not only stupid but also greedy.
But this is a great thing for them, fortunately he was stupid and greedy, so he didn't give Jiang Songwen out immediately, otherwise, it would really cause Jiang Songwen and the Jiang family a big trouble.
He flicked the ash off his sleeve and stood up expressionlessly, hiding the disdain and ridicule in his heart.
