Xiao Rui continued: "Rao is like this, so much silver can't be spent." My own annual expenses are only about 100,000 taels of silver, and before giving it to my mother, it was only about 100,000 taels. In the past two years, I have added four brothers, and I have given 1230,000 yuan. Even if the queen mother is now added to 200,000 taels a year, it is nothing. I still have quite a few left. Therefore, I opened a lot of businesses, such as the brocade building. In this way, it cost a lot of silver, but the business is so good that it will return to its original cost in less than two years, and now it is a golden chicken, and the profits brought to me every year are about to catch up with the income of minerals. ”

"So much silver, it's for nothing, so I took advantage of the opportunity you said to buy a large number of properties. Now, half of these properties are given to the queen mother, and half are kept in my own hands, and I have begun to make money again. Therefore, I am not short of silver to use. and will not let the queen mother run out of money. ”

Qin Mingyue smiled and said, "Can the business of the Jinlou be bad?" The queen's draft will, whether it is Jiangnan or Beijing, there are more families who need to play jewelry and make clothes, not to mention that your business of embellishing the brocade building has been good recently, that is, my silk makeup and silk business, as well as the lacquerware business, and the porcelain business have been much better. If these families want to send their daughters to the palace for the draft, they naturally have to spend a lot of money to smash them in, make jewelry, make clothes, and buy dowries for their daughters? ”

Xiao Rui thought about it, no wonder business has been so good recently. Is this a fake public benefit?

Qin Mingyue said: "You give the queen mother more than 100,000 taels of silver every year, and now you are going to increase it to 200,000 taels of silver." What is the output of the property purchased for the queen's mother? ”

Xiao Rui said: "Last time, I bought more than one million taels of silver for my mother, all of which were shops and fields in good locations, and the output could be as small as 100,000 yuan per year." ”

Qin Mingyue said: "In this way, the queen mother can get 300,000 taels of silver every year just from the property and your hands." I guess that's pretty much enough. Hey, it's pitiful to say, others are in charge of palace affairs, and they all make money. For example, Queen Yang, she was in charge of the harem back then, and she almost didn't move the entire harem to the Yang family and the prince's east palace. Why does the prince have so much money to buy the ministers, and he doesn't rely on Empress Yang and the Yang family? ”

"It's my current mansion, it's not the Yang family back then, look at this luxury?"

Later, Li Zhaoyi managed the palace, not only did she not need Xiao Xi to supply her with money, but she could also subsidize Xiao Xi for more than 100,000 taels of silver every year. When she came to Queen Fang, why did she take the silver given by her eldest son to supplement the palace? No wonder both the government and the opposition praise it. ”

Xiao Rui grinned and said, "My queen mother will be rich in the world in the future, why do you have to search and scrape like Queen Yang?" Anyway, the money can't be spent, so it's better to scatter it than to put it in vain. ”

Qin Mingyue nodded and said, "This is Queen Fang's cleverness. This silver can be spent, and what can be spent is the place, the hearts of the people, and the good reputation, which is hard to buy. Empress Yang and the others were wrong. They collected the money, offended people, and then used the money to buy those unreliable ministers, and finally ended up in the point of forming a party for personal gain, rebellion, and still unable to succeed, and buried their own net worth and life, is it wrong? ”

Xiao Rui thought so.

Qin Mingyue said: "So, Xiao Rui, you have to plan well with the queen mother." This time, the emperor is going to do something to Xiao Xi and his party again, and it is estimated that these people can also copy a lot of things. I've had enough of my business. There is no need to add to it. It should be enough for you, too. However, I think the queen still needs to buy more properties on her side. More money, so that even if there is no silver you give in the future, the queen will be more comfortable in her hands. Reaching out for money is always less reassuring than having money in your hand. It's the same even if it's a biological son. ”

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "You think about it very much. I was negligent. I'll just let people do it, anyway, this year's silver is still there, take it out and add another two million property to the queen mother, it should be enough. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "If you add two million, plus the previous one, you can have two or three hundred thousand a year, and it is enough." However, if you still have money to spare, I advise you to take advantage of this opportunity to buy some more properties for the four princes, at least about one million taels of silver. These earnings will be managed by the queen mother first, and in the future, when the four princes grow up, they will have no money in hand, and it will be inconvenient. ”

Xiao Rui said: "No, just take advantage of this opportunity to buy it." and also bought a million taels of silver for the fourth brother. There is no need for more, in the future, if he fights for luck, with an elder brother and sister-in-law like me and you, he is naturally the Ninety-Five, rich in the world, it doesn't matter if he has an industry or not, but when he was a prince before, he couldn't be short of money in his hands. ”

Qin Mingyue couldn't help but be embarrassed when she heard this: "Who is my sister-in-law?" The sister-in-law of the fourth prince is Song Yuru. Hum. ”

Xiao Rui grinned and said, "Now he has only one second sister-in-law, will there be no third sister-in-law in the future?" Mingyue, you have to give a letter of approval, when will we get married? You see, you're busy. I also have to go to various places to dismantle the Twelve Genius Divisions, and I have to carry out a series of reforms in the government and government, and I also have to do things like Taoism. There are so many things, and there is no skill in the doppelganger, where is the time for us to get married? ”

Qin Mingyue was shy: "Is this kind of question told me?" Shouldn't you discuss this kind of thing with my master or my father? ”

Xiao Rui's eyes couldn't help but light up: "Oh, I'm really a fan of the authorities, I just thought, Shen Tianshi has been cultivating in the secret realm now, when will he return to the capital?" How can you forget that there is still Lao Liguo Gong on the outskirts of the capital. This marriage has been the order of parents since ancient times. Okay, I'm going to talk to my father and let my father and mother prepare for me. ”

"By the way, Mingyue, in addition to those mines, I also have some properties under my name, adding up to more than three million assets, do you also take this opportunity to buy some more properties as the expenses of our palace in the future?"

Qin Mingyue's face was flushed and she still said: "You already have more than three million assets there, as the expenses of the palace, two or three hundred thousand taels of silver per year, which is enough." On my side, the assets I purchased alone are almost 2 million, and I have an annual income of about 200,000 yuan, which is enough for all the expenses of the mansion. What else to do, but I persuade you to quickly add some more properties to the Fang family. That's your uncle's house, after all. ”
